| Night has arrived in Sinnoh. In a luxurious hotel room, Dia crouches in front of the television, and sings along happily with the opening theme of his favourite TV program 'Proteinman Omega', a show about a robot hero which is fused from several trucks, ships and aircrafts. Being the constant big-eaters they are, he and Beh have a huge plate of sandwiches in front of them to keep their mouths busy while watching the show.

|
| |
| Behind them, Pearl sits on the bed and is trying to rationalize all the baffling events of the day. First, they have two Pokemon, Chimchar and Turtwig, crashing into them at the meeting place designated in the envelope's itinerary. Then, they have these weird high-tech devices known as the Pokedex, which they've accidentally registered as the official users. The weird thing about these Pokedexes is that the tour guide lady possesses one as well, and the three machines will simultaneously give off beeping sounds when they are brought together.
| |
|
| |
| Pearl wishes to know what Dia thinks about it, but soon discovers that Dia has not heard a single word he's said, and is laughing so hard at the TV program that he has tears running down his face. Pearl instantly gets furious and hollers at the boy, demanding that he stops eating and turns off the television right away.
| |
|
| |
| Dia and Beh get slightly dizzy from Pearl's deafening roar, and wonder what is wrong. Pearl places his hands on Dia's shoulders and addresses him as Diamond, his act of being serious, and says something is eerie about this trip which they've won from the Jubilife TV's Funny Grand Prix contest.
| |
|
| |
| Dia sweatdrops and says he has found it eerie right from the beginning, ever since the supposed travelling has become a mission, but Pearl states that it isn't the travelling part that is the problem. Rather, it is their tour guide lady. Not only has she refused to reveal her name regardless of how many times they've asked, but she speaks to them as if she's passing down orders, which shouldn't be how a tour guide behaves.
| |
|
| |
| On top of all, she has brought them to such a lavish hotel, the luxurious Hotel Jubilife, to spend the night. The two boys walk over to their huge room windows to look out, and once again feel awe-struck by the grandness of the building, highlighted by the giant golden Staraptor statue on the rooftop.
| |
|
| |
| Dia grins that they have spent most part of their life between Twinleaf and Sandgem, and says he has never dreamed that he would one day stay in this famous hotel which he's only seen on television. Pearl doesn't seem to share the excitement however, and is certain that their tour guide lady is holding some sort of big secret. He believes that they must investigate upon it, but Dia seems doubtful.
| |
|
| |
| Sitting down on the carpet floor, Dia resorts to food again, and opens up a bag of ricecookies to share with Beh while he continues to hear Pearl talk. Pearl states that the girl is staying in the penthouse suite right above their room, and puts on a proud grin as he reveals that he has already sent Chatlord to pry on her, causing Dia to choke in surprise.
| |
|
| |
| Pearl: All we have to do is wait for Chatlord now! And while we do so, it is time for Manzai practice!! Dia: What~!! (startled) Pearl: Come on, let me butt-in! Act dopey now! (towers over Dia) Dia: Whaaa16:34, 23 February 2009 (UTC) (jumps back) Pearl: Here, dump your food! (throws away Dia's ricecookies) Dia: Whaa16:34, 23 February 2009 (UTC) (tries to save his food)

| Upstairs, Chatlord tiptoes towards the terrace window of Lady Berlitz's room, and quietly slides it open. Making sure that nobody is looking, it sneaks behind the sofa which Lady Berlitz and Piplup are sitting on, and patiently waits to pick up on any useful information that may turn up.
| |
|
| |
| Lady Berlitz's takes another sip of her tea, and her Pokegear soon begins to beep, which she answers to find a desperate Sebastian calling. The old butler exclaims that it already seemed like a lifetime although he has not seen the Lady for just one day. The term 'the Lady' somehow stands out to Chatlord, and the parrot Pokemon quickly makes an effort to memorize it.
| |
|
| |
| Lady Berlitz sweatdrops at Sebastian's fervent voice, and Sebastian admits that he is finding himself pesky as well, but he truly wishes to protect her at all cost. Lady Berlitz assures him that she is all right, and says she has already met up with the two bodyguards. She states that she has even made it to the hotel now, and deposited Prof. Rowan's suitcase there.
| |
|
| |
| This time, the term 'protect' catches Chatlord's attention, and it repeats the word in its head several times to remember it well. Having picked up two keywords, it slowly slinks out from the terrace window again to head back. Unfortunately, it finds itself face to face with numerous pairs of unfriendly eyes once it is outside, and instantly jumps with horror.
