==Synopsis==
On the way to Veilstone City, Brock brings the group to the Mountain Hut Maid Café where they meet the owners, sisters Spring, Summer and Autumn. The sisters show them how they produce the milk, which is where they learn that Autumn's Miltank, Ilta, does not like to listen. Brock agrees to help Autumn and Ilta, so Ash and Dawn decide to help Spring and Summer with the cafe in their absence. Brock then bestows all his breeding knowledge to help Autumn and Ilta get along and cooperate. Meanwhile, Team Rocket tries to start a café business, but when that fails, they decide to steal Ilta instead. Also, in the meantime, after losing the second Contest in a row, Dawn has fallen into a very deep depression and is suffering a lack of confidence.

<section begin="Synopsis"/>''Brock leads his friends to the Mountain Hut Maid Café, where waitresses Spring, Summer, and Autumn serve up fresh Miltank milk. Spring and Summer's Miltank are perfectly trained, but Autumn's new Miltank, Ilta, won't listen to anything Autumn says. Autumn is ready to give up on Ilta, but Brock wants to repair the relationship between Trainer and Pokémon.''<section end="Synopsis"/>

''With Brock's guidance, Autumn tries to earn Ilta's trust, only to lose her temper when Ilta still doesn't do what she expects. When Autumn tries to get Ilta to cross a bridge, Autumn nearly falls off and has to be rescued by Brock and Happiny. Frustrated by her own clumsiness, she's ready to give up until Brock gives her some words of encouragement.''
==Plot==
 
Dawn and Ash enjoy the mountain air. Ash plans to go to Veilstone City's Gym. Ash asks her what she will do there and Dawn thinks a while and realizes she should plan what to do at the next Contest. Brock knows where to do it and hops away, so Ash and Dawn follow him. The heroes came to the Mountain Maid Café and when they enter, the three women welcome them in "the home" - Brock explains the women act as this was the home of the customer. The women are Spring, Summer and Autumn. Brock flirts with them and gets jabbed. They say that the specialty is Miltank Milk, a drink filled with vitamins.

''After Autumn helps protect Ilta from a swarm of Beedrill, it looks like Trainer and Pokémon just might make it after all. In the meantime, Team Rocket tries to duplicate the success of the Mountain Hut Maid Café, but they've hit a snag: they have no Miltank milk! To remedy the problem, they catch Brock and Autumn by surprise and fly off with both the Trainers and the real target, Ilta! Brock's Happiny uses Secret Power to put Team Rocket to sleep, allowing Brock and Autumn to escape and defeat Team Rocket. With Autumn and Ilta finally a team, our own team of heroes gets back on the road toward Veilstone City!''<ref>{{Cite|url = https://www.pokemon.com/us/animation/seasons/11/episode-10-tanks-for-the-memories/|entry = Tanks for the Memories! {{!}} Pokémon TV (pokemon.com)|title = The Official Pokémon Website {{!}} Pokemon.com|access-date = {{MDY|1|31|2024}}}}</ref>
Everyone orders the milk and go to the barn. They recognize that the Miltank are belonging to Summer and Spring, but Autumn's not there. They wait a while and get their milk and drink it up. The heroes send their Pokémon and they drink the milk as well. Brock wonders where is Autumn's Miltank and she points at it outside, but the Miltank is stubborn, though she is new. Autumn thinks of letting Ilta, the Miltank, go, but Brock convinces her it will not be good for either side. Brock flirts with the sisters and gets jabbed again. The sisters go to serve more customers. Dawn proposes to give them help and Ash agrees to do them a favor.
 
   
 
==Episode plot==
Dawn dressed herself as maid. However, she dressed all the Pokémon, including Ash, as maids, forcing Turtwig, Pikachu and Piplup to blush a bit. More customers enter and Ash gives them the hand to serve. Team Rocket sees this and plan to get some profit out of the cafe and Jessie takes James' last portion of coffee. Brock trains with Autumn to get Miltank's trust. Brock answers that one must display a bond to gain trust from the Pokémon. Brock gives a demonstration - he lets Happiny know there is a flower nearby, letting her be dazzled for a moment. Autumn goes to do the same for Miltank, but Ilta does not listen. Autumn tries again, but Ilta eats the flower. Brock gives Ilta a pat and Autumn does the same, but gets burped at.

Ash is sure that with more training Turtwig will learn that move. Turtwig is so happy he gnaws on Ash's head. Dawn sees them training and goes to do herself, but remembers what Zoey told her. Now she is not sure what to do now and sees Piplup came, seeing her troubled. Dawn knows that she should represent her Pokémon, but Ash came to her and she begins to cry.

Tanks for the Memories! (Japanese: メイドカフェのミルタンク!, HepburnMiltank of the Maid Café!) is the 10th episode of Pokémon: DP Battle Dimension.

Synopsis

Brock leads his friends to the Mountain Hut Maid Café, where waitresses Spring, Summer, and Autumn serve up fresh Miltank milk. Spring and Summer's Miltank are perfectly trained, but Autumn's new Miltank, Ilta, won't listen to anything Autumn says. Autumn is ready to give up on Ilta, but Brock wants to repair the relationship between Trainer and Pokémon.

With Brock's guidance, Autumn tries to earn Ilta's trust, only to lose her temper when Ilta still doesn't do what she expects. When Autumn tries to get Ilta to cross a bridge, Autumn nearly falls off and has to be rescued by Brock and Happiny. Frustrated by her own clumsiness, she's ready to give up until Brock gives her some words of encouragement.

After Autumn helps protect Ilta from a swarm of Beedrill, it looks like Trainer and Pokémon just might make it after all. In the meantime, Team Rocket tries to duplicate the success of the Mountain Hut Maid Café, but they've hit a snag: they have no Miltank milk! To remedy the problem, they catch Brock and Autumn by surprise and fly off with both the Trainers and the real target, Ilta! Brock's Happiny uses Secret Power to put Team Rocket to sleep, allowing Brock and Autumn to escape and defeat Team Rocket. With Autumn and Ilta finally a team, our own team of heroes gets back on the road toward Veilstone City![1]

Episode plot

Dawn and Ash enjoy the mountain air. With Ash planning to go to Veilstone City's Gym, he asks Dawn what she will do there and Dawn thinks a while and realizes she should plan what to do at the next Contest. Brock knows where to do it and hops away, so Ash and Dawn follow him. The heroes came to the Mountain Maid Café and when they enter, the three women welcome them in "the home" - Brock explains the women act as this was the home of the customer. The women are Spring, Summer and Autumn. Brock flirts with them and gets jabbed. They say that the specialty is Miltank Milk, a drink filled with vitamins. Everyone orders the milk and go to the barn. They recognize that the Miltank are belonging to Summer and Spring, but Autumn's not there. They wait a while and get their milk and drink it up. The heroes send their Pokémon and they drink the milk as well.

Brock wonders where is Autumn's Miltank and she points at it outside, but the Miltank is stubborn, though she is new. Autumn thinks of letting Ilta, the Miltank, go, but Brock convinces her it will not be good for either side. Brock flirts with the sisters and gets jabbed again. The sisters go to serve more customers. Dawn proposes to give them help and Ash agrees to do them a favor. Dawn dressed herself as maid. However, she dressed all the Pokémon, including Ash, as maids, forcing Turtwig, Pikachu and Piplup to blush a bit. More customers enter and Ash gives them the hand to serve. Team Rocket sees this and plan to get some profit out of the café and Jessie takes James' last portion of coffee. Brock trains with Autumn to get Miltank's trust. Brock answers that one must display a bond to gain trust from the Pokémon.

Brock gives a demonstration - he lets Happiny know there is a flower nearby, letting her be dazzled for a moment. Autumn goes to do the same for Miltank, but Ilta does not listen.
