Ash, Iris, and Cilan reach the Roshan City where the Unova Battle Club is located. As they explore the city, they come across a man named Burgundy who tells them that she is a Connoisseur like Cilan. Burgundy challenges Cilan to a battle and Cilan agrees. Burgundy is eager to defeat Cilan and prove herself as the superior Connoisseur in front of her mentor and the other judges of the Pokemon Fashion Show Competition.
The competition is the biggest event in Roshan City and only the best Pokemon with the most fashionable accessories are chosen to participate. Burgundy’s goal is to win the competition and show everyone that her knowledge of fashion is superior to Cilan's. On the day of the competition, Burgundy is excited to showcase her Pokemon and fashion sense, but she is surprised to find out that Cilan is one of the judges.
Burgundy decides to take revenge and tries to knock out Cilan's Joltik during the competition. When the judges notice the foul play, Burgundy is disqualified and is humiliated in front of her mentor and the other judges and is exposed as a sore loser. The Connoisseur's Revenge has failed.
In the meantime, Team Rocket sets their sights on stealing all the Pokemon in the fashion show. They follow the Pokemon around and devise a plan to steal them. However, Ash, Iris, and Cilan spot them and team up to stop them in their tracks. Pikachu, Axew, and Pansage work together and manage to release all the stolen Pokemon from Team Rocket's grasp.
Later, Cilan meets Burgundy and explains to her that the true spirit of being a Connoisseur is to appreciate the beauty of Pokemon and not just win competitions. Burgundy realizes that she was too focused on winning and not on appreciating the beauty that each Pokemon possesses. She apologizes to Cilan for her behavior and vows to become a better Connoisseur in the future.
In the end, Team Rocket is defeated once again, and the fashion competition is a success with all Pokemon having been returned to their trainers. Ash, Iris, and Cilan continue on their journey, encountering more challenges and adventures along the way.
