NARRATOR: It's the exciting Daybreak Town Pokémon Contest:

A Double Performance event,

which allows two Pokémon, along with their Coordinator,

to compete together!

And it's here that Dawn is attempting

to earn her fifth ribbon!

NARRATOR: With the winning first round behind her,

Dawn now looks ahead to the second,

where a victory secures her a coveted position

in the upcoming Grand Festival!

It's about you It's about me

It's about hope It's about dreams

It's about friends that work together

To claim their destiny

It's about reaching for the skies

Pokemon!

Given the courage And willing to try

It's about never giving up So hold your head up

And we will carry on... Sinnoh league victors

Pokemon!

MARIAN: The Double Performances we've seen here at the

Daybreak Contest have been positively thrilling!

Now, on our second stage,

it's our two-Pokémon Double Battles!

MARIAN: To my right, it's Ursula!

And to my left, it's Jessilina!

With five minutes on the clock...

MARIAN: Begin, now!

JESSIE: Seviper, let's use Haze!

SEVIPER: [HAZE MOVE]

JESSILINA: Yanmega, quick use Sonic Boom!

YANMEGA: [SONIC BOOM MOVE]

MARIAN: Ladies and Gentlemen, as you all know,

the object of our second round is for a team

to perfectly execute their moves within

the five-minute time limit with such elegance and beauty,

that points are actually taken away from their opponent!

URSULA: Plusle, Minun, use Spark!

PLUSLE, MINUN: [AFFIRMATIVE]

PLUSLE, MINUN: [CHARGING]

PLUSLE, MINUN: [SPARK MOVE]

URSULA: Nicely done!

JAMES: Nice? There are two sides to that story!

MEOWTH: Plusle and Minun are dealing with both of them!

MARIAN: And that was a beautiful one-move combination

by Plusle and Minun, Wow!

MARIAN: So the spectacular Battle

between Ursula and Jessilina rages on!

URSULA: Sorry for the bad news, but I'm just getting warmed up,

so now get ready for a real surprise!

JESSILINA: Then put your money where your surprise is!

Yanmega, lift Seviper into the air!

YANMEGA: [EXERTION]

URSULA: Now use Helping Hand!

PLUSLE, MINUN: [HELPING HAND MOVE]

MARIAN: Plusle and Minun are using Helping Hand

on each other to power up!

MARIAN: You've got to be impressed

by their amazing performance!

ASH: Powering up, wow!

BROCK: Helping Hand's a move

that increases the strength of your partner's move.

And by using it on each other

they're earning something more- points for their cuteness!

JESSILINA: Seviper, use Poison Tail!

Yanmega, Silver Wind!

SEVIPER, YANMEGA: [POISON TAIL MOVE]

[SILVER WIND MOVE]

URSULA: Plusle and Minun, Spark! Let's go!

PLUSLE, MINUN: [SPARK MOVE]

ASH, BROCK, PIPLUP, PIKACHU: [SURPRISE]

DAWN: Amazing how that Spark somehow looks different!

MINUN: [HAPPY]

PLUSLE: [HAPPY]

URSULA: All right Plusle and Minun go!

PLUSLE, MINUN: [SPARK MOVE]

MARIAN: And that's the power of Helping Hand!

MARIAN: That combination neutralized Seviper

and Yanmega's attack, leaving them vulnerable!

JESSIE: All right Yanmega, release Seviper!

YANMEGA: [EXERTION] SEVIPER: [EXERTION]

URSULA: Use twin attack formation

and make sure it doesn't escape!

PLUSLE, MINUN: [EXERTION]

PLUSLE, MINUN: [SPARK MOVE]

PLUSLE, SEVIPER: [SPARK MOVE][GRUNT]

MINUN, YANMEGA: [SPARK MOVE][GRUNT]

PLUSLE: [EXERTION]

MINUN: [EXERTION]

YANMEGA: [DAZED]

MARIAN: And that's it, time!

MARIAN: The Coordinator moving on to the next battle stage is

Ursula!

URSULA: But of course! Right, Plusle and Minun?

PLUSLE, MINUN: [HAPPY]

DAWN: Perfect sync!

Ursula's not going to be easy to beat!

JESSIE: Lost? Who, me?

SEVIPER, YANMEGA: [SHOCK]

MEOWTH: This kind of outcome I don't need!

JAMES: Especially in light of my certitude

that Haze and Sonic Boom were to be the combination b*mb.

WOBBUFFET: [SAD AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: Ursula sure is strong! Tough to beat!

BROCK: Yeah! Someone's going to have to figure out

how to stop those combinations

to have any chance of beating Plusle and Minun!

SHROOMISH, SLAKOTH, LICKILICKY, WEAVILE: [EXERTION]

SHROOMISH, SLAKOTH, LICKILICKY, WEAVILE: [EXERTION]

TOGETIC, IVYSAUR, STANTLER, MAGCARGO: [EXERTION]

TOGETIC, IVYSAUR, STANTLER, MAGCARGO: [EXERTION]

HOUNDOOM, MIGHTYENA: [EXERTION]

MAMOSWINE: [EXERTION] CYNDAQUIL: [EXERTION]

ASH: Mamoswine and Cyndaquil, go get them!

PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

DAWN: Now let's show them how hard we trained!

Cyndaquil, use Flame Wheel!

CYNDAQUIL: [FLAME WHEEL MOVE]

DAWN: Quick, Mamoswine, Ice Shard!

MAMOSWINE: [ICE SHARD MOVE]

DAWN: And now, Flame Ice!

CYNDAQUIL: [FLAME ICE MOVE]

CYNDAQUIL: [SHOCK]

MAMOSWINE: [SURPRISE]

MIGHTYENA, HOUNDOOM: [SHOCK] / [YELP]

MARIAN: Simply amazing!

We're witnessing a powerful flame and ice combination!

Ice Shard, fused with Flame Wheel!

BROCK: Not exactly what Dawn and her Pokémon intended.

Not at all!

ASH: It worked out okay! She was in a tight spot

and turned it around to her advantage!

PIPLUP: [AGREE]

MARIAN: That's it! Time!

Who's on to the next battle stage?

It's Dawn!

DAWN: All right you two! Thank you! We did it!

MAMOSWINE, CYNDAQUIL: [EXCITED]

ASH: Yeah! All right! Dawn won it!

DAWN: Flame Ice!

CYNDAQUIL: [FLAME WHEEL MOVE]

CYNDAQUIL: [FLAME WHEEL MOVE]

ASH: Dawn, what's the problem?

That combination looks good enough if you ask me!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

DAWN: But, that's not what Flame Ice

is supposed to look like...

BROCK: And there's no guarantee

it's going to work correctly the next time!

BROCK: Dawn, why don't you put it away for now

and work on a more reliable combination?

MAMOSWINE, CYNDAQUIL: [PROUD]

PLUSLE, MINUN: [PROUD]

MARIAN: Our second round of semi-final battles are complete,

and the winners moving on to the final stage are.

MARIAN: Dawn and Ursula!

PIPLUP: [CURIOUS]

PIPLUP: [EXASPERATED]

URSULA: Boring! I mean, facing you in the finals,

what a yawn!

URSULA: You must know what I mean-

don't you, Dee Dee?

PIPLUP: [CONCERN] DAWN: That's Dawn!

URSULA: Whatever. But you, beat Plusle and Minun?

DAWN: Of course, I can beat them!

URSULA: Really?

Can't wait to see you try, Dee Dee.

PIPLUP: [EXASPERATED] / [SURPRISED]

DAWN: Calm down. No need to worry!

MARIAN: Now for the moment you've all been waiting for,

The Daybreak Town Contest final stage!

MARIAN: To my right, Ursula!

MARIAN: And to my left, Dawn!

ASH: Okay g*ng, here we go! Now cheer real loud!

PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [CHEERING]

MARIAN: Five minutes on the clock... begin now!

DAWN: Mamoswine and Cyndaquil. Now! It's time! Spotlight!

MAMOSWINE: [APPEARING] CYNDAQUIL: [APPEARING]

CYNDAQUIL: [EXERTION]

URSULA: Plusle! Minun! Let's go!

PLUSLE, MINUN: [READY]

PLUSLE, MINUN: [EXERTION]

JOHANNA: Of all the Pokémon Dawn could face in the finals,

it would be those two...

DAWN: Now, Mamoswine, Ice Shard!

MAMOSWINE: [ICE SHARD MOVE]

DAWN: Go Cyndaquil!

CYNDAQUIL: [FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

MARIAN: That Flamethrower makes the Ice Shard

shine a striking crimson!

MARIAN: What a combination!

Perfect for this Double Performance!

DAWN: Mamoswine! Go for it!

MAMOSWINE: [EXERTION]

URSULA: With that huge body?

MAMOSWINE: [EXERTION]

ASH: Wow! That worked great!

PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

MAMOSWINE: [EXERTION]

MAMOSWINE: [EXERTION]

URSULA: Not bad!

DAWN: All right, Cyndaquil!

Now it's your turn! Swift, let's go!

CYNDAQUIL: [SWIFT MOVE]

MARIAN: The stars from that Swift are encircling Mamoswine!

CYNDAQUIL: [EXERTION]

DAWN: Mamoswine, Take Down!

MAMOSWINE: [TAKE DOWN MOVE]

MARIAN: Mamoswine is using Take Down

with Cyndaquil on its back!

MARIAN: Cyndaquil's flames contrast beautifully

against the ice!

ASH: Yeah! Go for it, Mamoswine!

PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

URSULA: Plusle and Minun! Get ready to jump!

PLUSLE, MINUN: [READY]

MAMOSWINE, CYNDAQUIL: [EXERTION] PLUSLE, MINUN: [EXERTION]

MARIAN: And with a leap,

Plusle and Minun dodge the Take Down!

MAMOSWINE, CYNDAQUIL: [EXERTION]

URSULA: Plusle and Minun! Use Encore!

PLUSLE, MINUN: [ENCORE MOVE]

MAMOSWINE: [GRUNT]

MAMOSWINE, CYNDAQUIL: [CONFUSED]

CYNDAQUIL, MAMOSWINE: [CONFUSED]

URSULA: Perfect!

DAWN: But what happened?

MAMOSWINE, CYNDAQUIL: [CONFUSED]

DAWN: Mamoswine, Cyndaquil, calm down please!

MAMOSWINE, CYNDAQUIL: [CONFUSED]

ASH: What was that move anyway?

BROCK: It's called Encore,

and it could be bad news for Dawn.

URSULA: Well, Dee Dee, guess this is the end!

URSULA: So shall we get started?

Plusle and Minun, let's steal the show!

CYNDAQUIL: [CONFUSED]

PLUSLE, MINUN: [CHEERING]

DAWN: Any move they use we'll reflect back!

Now Mamoswine, Hidden Power!

MAMOSWINE: [TAKE DOWN MOVE]

DAWN: Cyndaquil, use Flame Wheel!

CYNDAQUIL: [SWIFT MOVE]

CYNDAQUIL: [SWIFT MOVE]

CYNDAQUIL: [CONFUSED]

DAWN: Why are they using Swift and Take Down again?

URSULA: Scary right? Because we used Encore,

all your Pokémon can do is repeat their last moves, get it?

URSULA: As long as Encore is in play,

why go to the trouble of calling any att*cks at all?

DAWN: So that means no matter what,

we won't be able to do anything!

URSULA: Plusle and Minun, Helping Hand!

PLUSLE, MINUN: [HELPING HAND MOVE]

MARIAN: Plusle and Minun are using Helping Hand

in the face of their opponent's Take Down and Swift!

MAMOSWINE: [TAKE DOWN MOVE]

URSULA: Charge Beam, go!

PLUSLE, MINUN: [CHARGE BEAM MOVE]

MAMOSWINE: [GROAN]

CYNDAQUIL: [YELP]

MAMOSWINE: [GRUNT]

DAWN: Mamoswine! Cyndaquil!

CYNDAQUIL: [GROAN]

PLUSLE, MINUN: [EXERTION] / [PROUD]

MARIAN: And finishing with an endearing pose,

Plusle and Minun use Charge Beam to execute a stunning attack!

ASH: So that means,

Dawn and her Pokémon can't use any other moves!

BROCK: Right,

and because they're stuck with a five-minute time limit,

Encore's about as scary an attack as you can get!

JESSIE: All right, I'm officially impressed.

JAMES: Plusle and Minun can trounce the Twerpette

to their heart's content!

MEOWTH: I actually feel sorry for that little loser!

URSULA: Plusle and Minun, Spark, let's go!

PLUSLE, MINUN: [SPARK MOVE]

MAMOSWINE, CYNDAQUIL: [YELPS]

MARIAN: Mamoswine and Cyndaquil are blocked from using new moves

and can't do a thing to stop that combined Spark attack!

DAWN: Mamoswine! Cyndaquil! Dodge those Sparks!

MAMOSWINE: [TAKE DOWN MOVE]

CYNDAQUIL: [SWIFT MOVE]

URSULA: Guess I'll just take away as many points

from Dee Dee as I can!

Now Plusle and Minun! Dodge those att*cks with style!

MAMOSWINE: [EXERTION] / [GROAN]

PLUSLE: [EXERTION]

MINUN, CYNDAQUIL: [PAINED]

PLUSLE, MINUN: [EXERTION] / [PROUD]

MAMOSWINE: [FRUSTRATED]

URSULA: Plusle and Minun, Spark!

PLUSLE, CYNDAQUIL: [SPARK MOVE]

MINUN, MAMOSWINE: [SPARK MOVE]

CYNDAQUIL, MAMOSWINE: [SPARK MOVE]

MAMOSWINE: [FRUSTRATED]

ASH: Whoa, Dawn!

PIKACHU: [CONCERN] PIPLUP: [CONCERN]

JESSIE: Bad hair day!

- JAMES: It becomes her! - MEOWTH: A Twerp perm!

URSULA: That's some hairdo!

To think I got to see diamond dandruff in person!

ASH: Dawn get it together! The battle's not over yet!

PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [URGING]

DAWN: I can't believe it.

And in front of all these people!

MAMOSWINE: [CONCERN]

CYNDAQUIL: [CONCERN]

MAMOSWINE: [URGING]

CYNDAQUIL: [URGING]

MAMOSWINE: [URGING]

CYNDAQUIL: [URGING]

DAWN: Right! It's only their att*cks that are blocked!

They can still move, can't they?

DAWN: Mamoswine, use Take Down on Cyndaquil!

Cyndaquil, use Swift on Mamoswine!

MAMOSWINE: [SURPRISED] CYNDAQUIL: [SURPRISED]

ASH: Uh oh. What's up with that?

BROCK: Why do such a thing?

DAWN: No need to worry!

CYNDAQUIL, MAMOSWINE: [AGREE]

CYNDAQUIL: [EXERTION]

MAMOSWINE: [TAKE DOWN MOVE]

CYNDAQUIL: [SWIFT MOVE]

MAMOSWINE: [PAINED]

MARIAN: They're still being blocked by Encore,

but now they're attacking each other!

MARIAN: The look on our judges' faces tells it all!

URSULA: Well this certainly is a mess.

MAMOSWINE: [TAKE DOWN MOVE]

CYNDAQUIL: [YELP]

ASH: This is nuts!

The more Dawn does this the more points she loses!

DAWN: That Encore is history!

PLUSLE: [SURPRISED] MINUN: [SURPRISED]

DAWN: Since Encore can only block a Pokémon's moves

but not it's spirit,

all Mamoswine and Cyndaquil needed

was a fighting chance to break free,

and that chance came straight from the heart!

URSULA: Not bad at all!

You used the only moves you could to break free

of Encore's hold!

ASH: That was awesome! What a great idea!

BROCK: Yeah! But look!

BROCK: She's almost out of time!

URSULA: Charge Beam, let's go!

PLUSLE, MINUN: [CHARGE BEAM MOVE]

MAMOSWINE, CYNDAQUIL: [EXERTION]

MAMOSWINE: [EXERTION] CYNDAQUIL: [EXERTION]

DAWN: If we're going to win, we need to use Flame Ice,

but-no need to worry because the two of you can do it for sure!

MAMOSWINE, CYNDAQUIL: [AGREE]

DAWN: Cyndaquil, Flame Wheel!

CYNDAQUIL: [FLAME WHEEL MOVE]

DAWN: And Mamoswine, Ice Shard!

MAMOSWINE: [ICE SHARD MOVE]

DAWN: Do it!

DAWN: All right! That's a perfect Flame Ice!

MARIAN: Incredible!

That Flame Wheel is actually inside the Ice Shard-

shining with a dazzling light! Truly beautiful!

URSULA: No way!

ASH: Dawn might just win this!

BROCK: What do you know!

Dawn calls for the perfect Flame Ice,

and it appears just in the nick of time!

JESSIE: I want that combination too!

JAMES: The Twerpette's points should stay plump!

MEOWTH: Yeah, to the moon!

DAWN: Cyndaquil, go!

MAMOSWINE: [ROAR]

CYNDAQUIL: [LANDING]

PLUSLE, MINUN: [FEAR] / [PAINED]

PLUSLE, MINUN: [PAINED]

URSULA: Plusle, Minun!

CYNDAQUIL: [EXERTION] / [SHOCK]

URSULA: Quick, Plusle and Minun, Spark!

PLUSLE, MINUN: [SPARK MOVE]

DAWN: Now, Cyndaquil, Smokescreen!

CYNDAQUIL: [SMOKESCREEN MOVE]

PLUSLE: [GRUNT]

MINUN: [GRUNT]

ASH: Yeah!

They totally broke down Plusle and Minun's combination!

URSULA: Plusle, Minun, stay strong!

DAWN: Mamoswine, Hidden Power!

MAMOSWINE: [HIDDEN POWER MOVE]

PLUSLE: [PAINED]

DAWN: Now Cyndaquil! Use Swift!

CYNDAQUIL: [SWIFT MOVE]

MINUN: [PAINED]

PLUSLE, MINUN: [STRUGGLING]

URSULA: We're not finished! Use Spark!

PLUSLE, MINUN: [SPARK MOVE]

DAWN: Here they come!

MAMOSWINE, CYNDAQUIL: [FOCUSED]

PLUSLE, MINUN: [EXERTION]

MAMOSWINE, CYNDAQUIL: [FOCUSED]

PLUSLE, MINUN: [EXERTION]

MARIAN: That's it! Time!

PLUSLE, MINUN: [SHOCK]

MARIAN: And the winner of the final stage is...

MARIAN: It's Dawn!

MARIAN: Our champion managed to pull off a brilliant,

come from behind,

stunning Daybreak Town Double Performance victory!

DAWN: We-we won. Mamoswine, Cyndaquil we won!

MAMOSWINE: [HAPPY]

CYNDAQUIL: [HAPPY]

DAWN: Thanks, Cyndaquil! Thank you too, Mamoswine!

ASH: Dawn you did it!

PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

JOHANNA: My little girl! She won!

DAWN: Thanks to the both of you,

I was confident enough for a Double Performance!

I don't even care if anyone calls me Dee Dee!

URSULA: Oh Plusle, and Minun... You two are the best!

PLUSLE, MINUN: [DISAPPOINTED]

URSULA: Once again, she made the time limit work for her!

MARIAN: And now, our head judge, Mr. Contesta,

will present Dawn with the beautiful and prestigious

Daybreak Ribbon for her great victory today!

CONTESTA: Dawn I understand this is your fifth Contest Ribbon.

DAWN: Right!

CONTESTA: That means the Grand Festival

DAWN: Thank you so much! I can't wait!

DAWN: No need to worry!

The Daybreak Ribbon, and it's all mine!

MAMOSWINE, CYNDAQUIL: [HAPPY]

MARIAN: That brings this year's exciting Daybreak Town

Pokémon Contest to a close! Thank you so much for coming!

MARIAN: And remember, Ladies and Gentlemen,

as always, we'll see you next time!

DAWN: Ursula, Hi!

URSULA: I let you win that ribbon this time,

but you won't be so lucky at the Grand Festival!

DAWN: Okay.

JESSIE: Oh yeah? Speak for yourself!

Because yours truly will be the big winner.

URSULA: Please, Jessilina, you've got to be kidding!

I will!

JESSIE: Afraid not! I will!

- URSULA: I will! - JESSIE: I will!

- URSULA: No, I will! - JESSIE: Dream on, Twirlylocks!

Reality's right around the corner!

DAWN, PIPLUP: [SURPRISE]

ASH: Congratulations, Dawn!

BROCK: You won ribbon number five!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

DAWN: Thanks, all of you!

DAWN: Yup, all mine.

This ribbon is the best one of all!

PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

ASH: Yeah, I'm sure it is!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

BROCK: Your Flame Ice was great!

Perfect timing! It should come in pretty handy

when the Grand Festival rolls around!

DAWN: Thanks! I caught up with Zoey.

It's all the way, Piplup!

PIPLUP: [AGREE]

DAWN: And now Ash,

it's your turn to win at the Sunyshore Gym!

You ready for that?

ASH: Sure! My eighth Badge is waiting for me over there!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

NARRATOR: And so, a grueling competition has come and gone,

with Dawn's hard-earned fifth Contest Ribbon as proof!

But now it's Ash's turn to compete at the Sunyshore Gym,

so make sure you stay tuned!
