Brock asks his friends if the mansion owner would let them stay in their yard overnight, but Misty doesn't think so. Then they see three people looking for something. Ash wonders what they are looking for.
Later on, Misty shows her friends a map of the locations of the movie stars. Ash thinks that looking for movie stars are boring, and Brock agrees with him. Misty reminds Brock that some of his favorite actresses live in those mansions. Brock immediately changes his mind and decides to look for movie stars. Suddenly, a Growlithe is seen running towards Ash and co. It seems to be out of control. Ash tries to calm down the Growlithe, but it still is thrashing about. A pink thing is released from the Growlithe, and then Growlithe runs off. Brock notices the pink thing to be a Snubbull. Ash looks up Snubbull in his Pokédex. A man comes up to them and sees the Snubbull. He calls out for a woman who happens to be the owner of Snubbull. She kindly thanks Ash and co. for finding it. Then she offers Ash and co. to lunch.

He thinks that Snubbull isn't too happy to go home. When they walk inside the house, Ash and co. gazes at it. To them, it looks like a palace or a castle. The woman cleans Snubbull's feet so that dirt doesn't track around the house. Ash says that there must be at least fifty rooms in the mansion. Jeeves, one of the woman's servants, says that there are eighty six rooms. The woman gives Ash and co. a tour of Snubbull's different rooms. While the woman is showing them the rooms, Brock carefully keeps his eye on Snubbull. Then the woman shows them to the pool that Snubbull bathes in. Misty thinks that Snubbull is very lucky for having a great trainer. The woman tells her that she tries her best to keep Snubbull happy. Now it is time for lunch. The woman invites them to lunch.
At the lunch table, everyone likes the food a lot. Everyone but Snubbull is eating. The woman notices this, and she asks the cook to prepare something nice for Snubbull.

He gets out some popcorn balls and sets it on the table. Snubbull sniffs them and gladly eats it. The woman is now happy that her Snubbull finally found something that it liked.

In the house, Brock tells the woman that Snubbull doesn't look too happy. The woman tells him that Snubbull is just nervous for its wedding. She gets out a picture of Snubbull's future husband. Ash and co. have disgusted faces on them when they see Snubbull's husband. The wedding is also the reason of why Snubbull was trying to run away in the first place. Then the woman invites Ash and co. to the wedding. After that, she leaves the room. Ash and co. decides that they should try to help Snubbull.
