Template:Incomplete synopsis
This episode starts off with Dawn running away from a Raikou during a storm. She ends up at a dead end and the Raikou tries to use a powerful electric attack on her, only for Piplup to block it. Piplup manages to withstand it, making the Raikou growl and run down the mountain it was on. Piplup tries to use {{m|Peck} on it, though Raikou manages to stop it using another powerful electric attack. Piplup falls down on grassy ground and it is revealed that it was merely a dream. Dawn asks Piplup what's wrong and Pikachu wakes up. Piplup looks around and starts to cry. Later, the group manages to find a berry orchard on the way to Lilypad Town. They see all kinds of berries—including Tamato Berries, Oran Berries, and Grepa Berries. Piplup tries to smell a berry and gets smacked in the head by a Marill. The others ask Piplup if he's okay and they see the Marill. Dawn checks its Pokédex entry and asks Piplup if he's alright again. Piplup soon sees the Marill and falls in love. Dawn asks Piplup if something is wrong and Brock tells her that Piplup is in love. Dawn asks Piplup if that is true and Piplup seems to be hit by a heart. Ash says that Pokémon love each other all of the time and asks what the big deal is. Brock says that he would like to meet her parents and find out how they manage to take care of this orchard while Pikachu is trying to get Piplup's attention away from Marill. The girl says that her parents are gone and that they won't be home for another 2 or 3 days, and that she could give them the grand tour of the orchard and that they could stay for the night. The group says that that'll be fun, and it changes to a scene where many Sunflora are seen watering the berries.

Trivia
- This episode is similar to Love, Totodile Style, wherein a Water-type starter Pokémon falls in love with a member of Marill's evolutionary family, and another Pokémon is involved in this, forming a love triangle.
- While in the games, Piplup and Marill are in the same egg group (Water 1), Elekid is a baby Pokémon and as such is in the No eggs Group. Even if it evolved, it would not be in Marill's egg group, being only in the Humanshape Egg Group.
- Dawn and Johanna narrate the preview for the next episode.
- The dub's title may be a reference to the saying "Two Sides to Every Story".
- The dub title may also be also inspired from the romantic novel "Three Sides of Every Story".
- This is the last English episode of the 2000s.
- This is the first episode since Frozen on Their Tracks! to air the entire episode in 16:9 aspect ratio in the high-definition feed. The previous 6 episodes showed the beginning of the episode (until the title card) in a 3:2 aspect ratio.
