[[Grandpa]] is holding a potato digging contest -- what fun! Not for [[Walnut]], though, who must find the elusive pink potato... or be expelled!
[[Grandpa]] hosts a potato digging contest in which participants must uncover a pink potato to win a prize. [[Hazel]], [[Almond]], {{TP|Hazel|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Hazel|Clefairy}}, and {{MPJ|Squirtle}} all compete with the intention of having a cook-out with the potatoes they harvest. As they begin to search, [[Walnut]] suddenly springs out from the earth. He introduces himself to Hazel and Almond, then explains he was just using a ninja technique called "Mole-Fu" to find potatoes. He tells everyone that he is competing because [[Master Ditto]] is using this as an opportunity to test his ninja skills, and that he will be expelled if he does not succeed. Hazel volunteers to help him and he runs to her in tears, prompting Almond to intervene and volunteer as well. Walnut responds by hugging Almond, making Squirtle jealous.
