[Cerise Park - Inside]

Both Cosmo and Chloe went into the Cerise Park, along with Buddy, Beau, and Yamper.

The two siblings saw Ash and Goh with their Pokémon partners, including Darmanitan.

"Goh! Ash!" Chloe called. "You still haven't had breakfast? Mr. Mime was worried about you." She told them.

"What are you guys doing?" Cosmo asked. Both him and Chloe sweat-drops seeing Scorbunny arguing with Darmanitan.

"Oh, well, you see..." Goh trailed off, looking back at them.

Scorbunny kept trying to use a Fire-type move but kept failing as a single ember appears.

Darmanitan looks at Scorbunny smugly, blowing out the small ember.

"Huh...? Why does Darmanitan look so smug?" Chloe asked, weird-out.

"Did something happen?" Cosmo asked.

"Darmanitan provoked Scorbunny into trying to use Ember, but it can't really pull it off..." Goh said, he turned back towards Scorbunny.

"Hang in there, Scorbunny!" Ash encourages.
"Pika Pikachu!" Pikachu agrees.

"Try more like... Open up wide," Ash said, both him and Pikachu opened their mouths wide. "then launch the heat from your belly, like, "Ba-Ba-Ba-Bang!"" He told Scorbunny, both his and Pikachu are fired-up.

Cosmo, Chloe, and Goh sweat-drops.

"What's that mean?" Chloe asked.
"That seems a bit... odd." Cosmo said.

"I'm pretty sure that's how Ash tries to teach others..." Goh told them. "But... I don't think there's any need to try so hard, though." He said, looking at Scorbunny.

Both Cosmo and Chloe looks at Goh.

Scorbunny was panting.

"You should stop." Goh told Scorbunny. Scorbunny looks at him. "That's enough." He said.

Darmanitan smugly walks away. Scorbunny is angry and went to go after Darmanitan.

"Stop, Scorbunny!" Goh called. Scorbunny stops and looks back at Goh. "Your Quick Attack and Double Kick have gotten really strong. It doesn't matter if you can't use a Fire-type move." He told him.

Scorbunny pouts angrily.

"It seems Scorbunny doesn't agree with you." Ash said, standing up.
"It definitely seems that way." Cosmo said, agreeing.

"Well... You can't do what you can't do." Goh said.

Scorbunny walks away, angry. He spotted Darmanitan laughing at him, he got irked and went after it.

[Cerise Laboratory - Dining Area]

Everyone is now inside of the dining area.

"Time for breakfast!" Both Ash and Goh said.

Everyone ate their breakfast.

Pikachu and Yamper shares a bowl of Pokémon Food.
Buddy and Beau shares another bowl.

Cosmo is eating a sandwich, he stood next to Chloe.
Chloe drinks from a juice box.
Ash and Goh ate their breakfast.
Mr. Mime is mimicking mixing a drink, he mimics pouring some into Chloe's juice box.

"Goh, you're heading into the city to catch Pokémon today, right?" Ash asked, his mouth full with the bread.

"Is catching Pokémon really that fun?" Chloe asked.
