She suspects Ampharos could be upset due to being in a new environment, like Pasio, and suggests the remedy may be to cheer her up somehow. Whitney decides that the best way to do this would be to throw a party
Working with at the town, Jasmine pushes herself to prepare the party before sunset. joins the two and volunteers to help, worried about another instance of an Ampharos falling ill. This prompts Jasmine to explain to Erika how Ethan had helped Amphy in the past, and how her Ampharos had been raised to become Amphy's successor.
Elsewhere, Whitney recruits to prepare a feast for the party. She mentions to him that there is a certain ingredient she is looking for, but doesn't specify what it is. Suddenly, there is a rumbling sound, and some nearby s point out that some lights have suddenly turned off.
Jasmine, Erika, and Ethan find , who they learn has triggered a blackout after trying to set up some lights for the party. Jasmine explains to the others that she had met Volkner in Sunyshore City while visiting the lighthouse, saying she had heard rumors about him. When Volkner asks what she means by this, she hesitates to elaborate. Volkner offers to show them more inventions of his, but Jasmine is quick to shut him down.
Meanwhile, Whitney and are having a battle as stands by to watch. When they finish, Leon gives Whitney a certain item as a gift for accepting his challenge. Nessa attempts to ask her why she needs the item, but Whitney doesn't answer, abruptly encouraging the two to come to the party.
After the sun sets, Jasmine and Whitney begin their party, thanking all of the guests for their help with setting it up. As everyone mingles, Trista stops over by Jasmine to ask about Ampharos. To everyone's delight, Jasmine announces that Ampharos seems to be feeling better. Whitney then comes over to give Jasmine and Ampharos a gift—a drink made from Moomoo Milk and several other energizing ingredients. Jasmine gives some to Ampharos, and the drink succeeds in cheering her up. Jasmine is relieved, but suddenly, her eyes fall shut and she collapses.
Everyone crowds around Jasmine, and Whitney tearfully asks Trista if she is okay. In the distance, and his s notice a light shining from the village. The light reminds Cyrus of a lighthouse's beacon, and he notes its ability to guide someone down the right path. He then moves on with his group, believing to have no use for such a thing.
Finding herself in a dark void, Jasmine searches for her friends. She sees a bright flash of light, then decides to run after it, believing it will bring her home. Soon after, Jasmine regains consciousness as her friends stare over her. While everyone else celebrates Jasmine waking up, Whitney yells at her for fainting, then turns away to cry. Jasmine apologizes, then thanks Whitney for worrying about her. She speaks with her, managing to cheer her up, and the party continues.
The day after the party, Jasmine tells Ampharos that she knows it was her light that guided her home. Although it is snowy outside, Jasmine notices that she doesn't feel cold at all. Turning to see Whitney nearby, Jasmine realizes that her world is kept warm by those close to her.

Whitney 	Wh-what's the matter? Are you feeling down?
Jasmine 	The thing is...Ampharos doesn't seem to be doing so well. She looks tired.I'm worried she might be sick...I wish there were some kind of medicine that would make her feel better...
Whitney 	Medicine, huh...Maybe she should get a checkup! Come with me, Jasmine!
(Pokémon Center, decorated for the holiday; Trista is examining Ampharos)	(Pokémon Center, decorated for the holiday; Trista is examining Ampharos)
Trista 	I've looked her over, but it doesn't seem like there are any health issues.If there is a reason, it might be related to her feelings.To me, it seems she might be feeling a little isolated and sad because Pasio is a new environment for her.
Jasmine 	So, to make Ampharos feel better...
Trista 	Maybe we need to lighten her mood?
Whitney 	If that's the case, I have a great idea!Let's throw a party to cheer Ampharos up!
Trista 	Oh, a party! I think that's a wonderful idea.
Jasmine 	I'd love to organize it together...for Ampharos's sake!
Whitney 	OK then, let's start preparing!First of all, we should change our outfits! Let's get dressed in something super flashy, Jasmine!
Jasmine 	M-me too?
Whitney 	Of course! Come on, let's go!
Jasmine 	I don't need to be too flashy...
Whitney 	Trista, if you have time, please come to the party, too!We'll let you know when it's ready!
Trista 	Yes! I'll be looking forward to it.

Jasmine 	Sure! I'll try hard to make them look pretty!
Erika 	Jasmine, don't you think you should rest a little?Haven't you been preparing since morning?
Jasmine 	No...I'm fine.Whitney is working really hard for this party.I shouldn't be the only one having a rest.I need to finish this by the time it gets dark.
Erika 	Try not to push yourself too hard, OK?By the way, is Whitney preparing food?
Jasmine 	Yes! She's asking a cook to make a feast!She also said she'll gather a lot of attendees.Speaking of feast...I wonder what'll be served...
Erika 	I see. Jasmine is looking forward to the feast... I'll have to take note of this...
Jasmine 	Ah! Don't be mean, Erika!

Ethan 	I'm here to help with the party!I heard from Whitney that you're looking for people to invite.
Jasmine 	Thank you so much, Ethan!
Ethan 	I also wanted to see how Ampharos was doing.I was worried it was another case of an Ampharos getting sick...
Erika 	Another case?
Jasmine 	Oh! You see, Ethan helped me out once before, when another Ampharos was sick.He got medicine for us.But this Ampharos is different from Amphy at Olivine City's lighthouse.There was a Mareep the lighthouse keeper was raising as Amphy's successor.I started to look after her, and she evolved into Ampharos.One day, I want this Ampharos to be like Amphy...To shine her light across the ocean from the lighthouse and protect the boats at sea.
Ethan 	But first things first. For that to happen, we need Ampharos to get better.OK then! Let's get started with the prep!

Whitney 	So, I want you to cook up a feast for our party.
Siebold 	No problem. That will be a piece of cake.
Whitney 	OK! Great!And...I have another thing I'd like to ask.You're a cook, so you must have different kinds of ingredients, right?There's a certain one that I'm looking for...
Siebold 	Ingredients?I don't mind giving you ingredients, but I can't assure you I'll have what you need...
Whitney 	Oh, no worries! If you don't have it, I'll just go out and look for it!
Siebold 	I see.By the way, your outfit stands out quite a bit. Are you going to wear that to the party?
Whitney 	Yup! Ain't it the cutest?If I stand next to Sawsbuck, it's a cuteness overload!I got her from a Trainer in Unova...and when I first met her, she was a small Deerling.She was just the cutest thing ever, so I raised her good, and now she's evolved into a splendid Sawsbuck!When the two of us are together, everyone falls in love with us!
Siebold 	It's true that you attract attention...But I can't determine whether that's because you look fascinating or because you look strange...
Whitney 	Hey! What's with that comment?!You should say stuff like, "Oh that outfit really suits you!" Or maybe..."You look cute!" You need to praise us first...

Volkner 	I thought maybe you could use these new lights I invented as decorations...But it seems Pasio's power grid couldn't handle the burden.
Erika 	Did you ask Volkner to help out with the lights?
Jasmine 	Y-yes... Since Volkner is an electrical expert, I thought to ask him for help...I met Volkner when I stopped by the lighthouse in Sunyshore City...And I also heard rumors about him, so...
Volkner 	Rumors? Like what?
Jasmine 	Um... That you, uh...stand out, in many ways...
Volkner 	Hahaha! In many ways? That's true!
Erika 	People don't just mean his Pokémon battles, do they.
Volkner 	Though, it is a shame.There were other inventions I wanted to try out...
Ethan 	What kind of inventions?!
Volkner 	I'm proud of them.Using this one, we can double or even—
Jasmine 	N-normal is fine! Normal lights will be just fine!
Volkner 	You sure? Never mind, then...
Ethan 	I kinda wanted to see what it would look like...
Erika 	I suppose having too much expertise can also be troublesome at times...
Jasmine 	I agree...
