Serena, along with herrivalsJessie and Nini, entered the town's Showcase Rookie Class eager to win. During the Theme Performance, which consisted of bakingPoké Puffs while simultaneously performing a dance routine along with theirPokémon, they all did a good job and were allowed to advance to the second section, the Freestyle Performance.
There, Nini performed alongside herSmoochum,Gothita, andFarfetch'd, while Jessie delivered a performance that left the crowd very impressed along with herGourgeist andWobbuffet. For this event, Serena decided it was time forEevee to make her Showcase debut, and used her along withBraixen. Their performance was going well until Eevee's stage fright got the best of her, causing her to lose her balance. Despite this, they still managed to put it together at the end.
However, this was not enough to make up for their mistake, and when it came time for the audience to vote on the Performer who had performed the best, a majority voted for Jessie, who earned her first Princess Key fromMonsieur Pierre as a reward.
After the battle withProfessor Sycamore, he mentions that he left something in the town for the player. An inscription can be found on one of the seats on the train station platform. It contains a message which Sycamore wrote, addressed to himself in the future.
"To the person reading this: What are you like now? Did you become who you wanted to be? For starters, what was the person you wanted to become even like? I don't know, but it would be wonderful if you can boast that you're living each day to the fullest. To future Sycamore. From the Sycamore dreaming of the future."
Couriway Town andCamphrier Town have the same background music.
