Professor Red and Golgo show up and wonder where Shoko-tan was. The Adventure Group/Team Zekrom had a couple of promotional items that they wanted to give to Red and Golgo but they didn't want to accept them at first because they didn't want to seem bias. When they finally realized it was chocolate, they were more than happy to get it. Shoko-tan shows up and sees Red and Golgo with the chocolate Team Zekrom promotional item and accuses them of supporting Team Zekrom. Shoko-tan quickly gets mad at them.
