Plot

In Centra City, Caitlin watches on as the player battles against another team. After the battle, Caitlin approaches the player and comments that the player may improve their battling by adding a touch of elegance. She clarifies that elegance is remaining calm and collected during the battle to show dignity, refinement and grace.

Candice then joins the conversation thinking they are talking about fashion. Caitlin explains that they were discussing battling and that elegance is of utmost importance. They decide to battle to see how grace and elegance can improve one's battling prowess.

After battling another team, Candice remarks that her battle style is all about focusing hard. Despite being far from elegant, Caitlin appraises Candice's strength and energy, and that it suits her and her Pokémon. Caitlin reflects that she was once forbidden to battle because she could not control her psychic powers when she would lose. She states that she learnt to control her negative emotions from Psychic-type Pokémon as they could manipulate their power at will. Caitlin states she would like to learn more about focus, while Candice replies she would like to learn more about elegance.

After the next battle, Roxie joins in on the conversation and remarks that she thinks it is the rhythm and passion of the battle that is more important than focus or elegance. They decide to battle Roxie to see exactly what she means by the beat of battle.

Despite losing to them, Caitlin and Candice remark that they were impressed by Roxie's battling and that they were able to feel the beat. Caitlin concludes that each Trainer has their individual styles which make them unique and that one should not push others to follow their own personal methods. She reflects that the player values kindness above all else.
