DAWN: Awesome like always!

DAWN: Pachirisu, try storing up electric energy just like that!

PACHIRISU: [AGREEMENT] / [FOCUSED]

ASH: Yeah! Storing up electricity that way looks great

when it comes out of your cheeks!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

NARRATOR: The Floaroma Contest is short hours away, and Dawn

and her Pachirisu are doing some special training in preparation

for her first win!

ASH: Once you store up enough electricity,

let it all out at once!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

PACHIRISU: [DISCHARGE MOVE]

PIKACHU: [AMAZED]

DAWN: You're doing it! That looks beautiful, Pachirisu!

PACHIRISU: [CELEBRATING] PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

DAWN: Thanks to your help, Pikachu, I know we'll get a

ribbon for sure!

ASH: That's great, Coach, thanks!

PIKACHU: [BASHFUL]

BROCK: Those kinds of things can make all the difference in a

Pokémon Contest!

PACHIRISU: [BEGGING]

PACHIRISU: [BEGGING]

DAWN: I know what you want Poffin!

PACHIRISU: [EXCITED]

DAWN: You deserve this for working so hard!

DAWN: Want one, too, Piplup?

PIPLUP: [AFFIRMATIVE]

DAWN: Here you go!

PIPLUP: [HAPPY]

ASH: Man, you made quick work of that!

PIKACHU: [AGREEMENT]

BROCK: I'll tell you, you've really got the

perfect recipe going.

DAWN: With Forsythia's help!

PIPLUP: [BEGGING]

PIPLUP: [BEGGING]

DAWN: What? You still want some more? Well, not until we do some

more practicing!

PIPLUP: [BEGGING]

DAWN: I said no!

PACHIRISU: [BEGGING]

DAWN: I said no!

PIKACHU: [NERVOUS]

PACHIRISU: [DISCHARGE MOVE]

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

PACHIRISU: [STUNNED]

ASH: [STUNNED]

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

DAWN: Not my hair again!

KENNY'S VOICE: Hey! Dee Dee!

DAWN: Dee Dee? PIKACHU: [CONFUSED]

- ASH: Dee Dee? - BROCK: Dee Dee?

DAWN: Only one guy knows that name!

KENNY: That's right! Good to see you, kid!

DAWN: Kenny! It is you!

KENNY: And loving that 'do!

DAWN: Anybody can have a bad hair day!

- ASH: Dee Dee, huh - BROCK: Yeah

KENNY: What do you know, Dee Dee's got herself a Pikachu!

PIKACHU: [CONFUSED] KENNY: Dee Dee's all grown up!

DAWN: Kenny, stop! And you stop calling me Dee Dee, too!

Also, this is not my Pikachu, either! 'Cause it's his!

ASH: And my name's Ash!

PIKACHU: [GREETING]

BROCK: My name's Brock. Nice to meet you!

KENNY: Yeah, nice to meet you!

DAWN: See, we've been traveling together for a long time!

KENNY: What? With them?

JESSIE: Now! Presenting your fave winning Coordinator!

MEOWTH: As soon as she puts those glasses on,

she's like a whole new nuthead!

JAMES: But this time she'll be a successful nuthead!

JESSIE: I'll ignore Meowth's drivel, because I'm psyched!

JAMES: And which Pokémon will you be psyched with?

JESSIE: The answer to that question is but an arm's

length away! Follow my lead.

JESSIE: Can't you see the terrain is teeming with

tempting Pokémon?

JAMES: Your point?

JESSIE: What do I have to do, draw you a map?

SEVIPER: [APPEARING]

JESSIE: James and Meowth are to be my Pokémon Contest

consultants, and I want you to bring me whatever Pokémon

they recommend!

MEOWTH: I think your pigtails are too tight.

JESSIE: I have no time to do the legwork! I've already made the

appointments to get my hair foiled and my face done!

Of course, can't forget about these nails!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

JAMES: Jessie's right

MEOWTH: We can't forget

DAWN: Kenny left from Twinleaf Town to start on his

journey before I did!

DAWN: We've known each other since nursery school,

and we used to play together a lot!

DAWN: I'm trying to remember your first Pokémon.

KENNY: I'll show you! DAWN: [SURPRISED]

KENNY: Come on out and meet everybody!

PRINPLUP: [APPEARING]

DAWN: Wow, a Prinplup!

ASH: Then that means you chose a Piplup for your starter Pokémon.

POKEDEX: Prinplup. The Penguin Pokémon, and the evolved form of

Piplup. One blow from its wings is strong enough to

knock down trees.

PIPLUP: [GREETING]

PRINPLUP: [ANGRY] PIPLUP: [SHOCKED]

DAWN: Hey, what was that for?

KENNY: Uh sorry, but sometimes Prinplup gets a little freaked

out if anyone gets in its space!

KENNY: I'm the only one Prinplup doesn't have a problem with.

PRINPLUP: [SCOFF]

PIPLUP: [PROUD]

PRINPLUP: [SNEER]

PIPLUP: [STRUGGLING]

ASH: They're acting just like rivals!

PIKACHU: [AGREEMENT]

DAWN: Oh, why not just get along?

BROCK: Well, they're both Penguin Pokémon, remember,

and tempers at times can get pretty hot.

BROCK: Prinplup in particular

aren't thrilled being with others!

KENNY: I saw you using Piplup over at the Jubilife Contest.

Were you copying me?

DAWN: I wouldn't copy you ever!

Piplup and I were made for each other.

Isn't that right, sweetie?

PIPLUP: [AGREEMENT]

DAWN: You were at the Jubilife Contest? Were you competing or

just watching?

KENNY: Uh, excuse me my match was on TV,

so why weren't you watching?

DAWN: Guess I was busy!

DAWN: Wow, I can't see you as a Coordinator!

KENNY: That? Well, unlike you,

I've already made it to the finals!

DAWN: Wow, you did? Amazing!

KENNY: It was at the contest right before Jubilife City,

and I thought I had my first ribbon...

KENNY: But then I came up against an opponent so powerful

I didn't have a chance!

KENNY: She had a Glameow, and her name was Zoey

KENNY: Zoey b*at you as well. Remember?

DAWN: So Zoey b*at both of us!

PIPLUP: [CURIOUS]

DAWN: At the Jubilife Contest, Zoey told me she had just one

ribbon. So she must've won that one off of you!

ASH: I think Zoey was really strong!

PIKACHU: [AGREEMENT]

BROCK: She had great combinations to spare!

KENNY: Are you competing here?

DAWN: No, not this time! You see, Ash is aiming to win the

Sinnoh League and Brock's a Pokémon breeder!

KENNY: But you were in Jubilife, right?

ASH: I had some fun with contests, but no doubt it's Gym

battles for me!

KENNY: So you guys first hooked up in Jubilife, then?

DAWN: Before that. We first met after I rescued Ash's Pikachu

for him, and later I watched Ash battle at the Oreburgh Gym two

whole times before he finally earned his first badge

in Sinnoh!

- ASH: What's up? - KENNY: Nothing.

See, I'm sure you've got your stories,

but they don't hold a candle to my Dawn ones!

DAWN: You wouldn't dare!

KENNY: When it comes to stories, I've got tons of them!

- ASH: Like what? - BROCK: Hey, we're all ears!

PIPLUP: [EXCITED] DAWN: Kenny, do you have to?

KENNY: They'll love it! One time, Dawn's mom made her get

this haircut that she couldn't stand.

So Dawn tried to cut it herself!

You can't believe how it turned out. She looked just

like a Chimchar!

ASH: A Chimchar?[SHOCKED]

ASH: [RESTRAINED] ASH: [LAUGHING]

DAWN: Could we all try and grow up? That happened way way back

in nursery school!

KENNY: Oh yeah! Man, how about the play we did right

around the same time?

KENNY: What a sneeze what a riot!

ASH: [RESTRAINED]

PIPLUP : [RESTRAINED]

DAWN: Oh great! Laugh at a little girl!

KENNY: And then there was the time she came to school

in her pajamas...

KENNY: She was wearing two different shoes,

and you'll never guess what she said!

ASH: "No need to worry," right?

KENNY: Hey, how did you know?

ASH: Well, let's say I've heard it before

PIKACHU: [AMUSED]

BROCK: She's been saying that since day one!

DAWN: I have had it!

DAWN: If you think I'm the way I was back then, you've got

another think coming! I'll show you a real Pokémon battle!

PIPLUP: [AFFIRMATIVE]

KENNY: What I want is a battle against that Pikachu!

ASH: What, with me? PIKACHU: [CONFUSED]

DAWN: Did you hear what I said or not?

PIPLUP: [INDIGNANT]

KENNY: Look, I wanna make Prinplup stronger, so I want to

battle someone with some real oomph!

PRINPLUP: [PROUD] DAWN: [GRUMBLING]

DAWN: You may have started your journey first, but what a baby!

ASH: Come on, Dawn, he challenged me, and I'm doing it!

PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

KENNY: Let's keep it simple. One on one!

ASH: Right!

DAWN: An Electric type like Pikachu should have the

advantage over Water type Prinplup!

BROCK: We'll see, we'll see. Whatever happens, it ought to be

a real eye-opener!

BROCK: That Prinplup sure seems confident!

KENNY: Okay, Ash, you can have the first move!

ASH: Then you can get a good look at my Pikachu and an

awesome Thunderbolt!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

KENNY: Metal Claw!

PRINPLUP: [METAL CLAW MOVE]

PRINPLUP: [EFFORT] ASH: No way!

DAWN: Prinplup absorbed the att*ck!

PRINPLUP: [EFFORT] PIKACHU: [SHOCKED]

ASH: Prinplup sent the Thunderbolt right back!

DAWN: But how? I mean, Prinplup looks fine!

BROCK: Metal Claw's a Steel-type move, and if it's really

powerful, it can be used to defend against Electric att*cks!

PRINPLUP: [CONFIDENT]

BROCK: And to think Thunderbolt is the move that made

Pikachu famous.

DAWN: That Prinplup is just so strong, I can see why Kenny made

it all the way to the final round...

KENNY: Now, my turn! Drill Peck, let's go!

PRINPLUP: [DRILL PECK MOVE]

ASH: Heads up, Pikachu!

PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

PRINPLUP: [EFFORT]

ASH: Pikachu, spin it!

PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

PIKACHU: [EFFORT] PRINPLUP: [CONFUSED]

KENNY: Oh man!

DAWN: There's that move again!

PIKACHU: [EFFORT]

ASH: Now use Iron Tail!

PIKACHU: [IRON TAIL MOVE]

PRINPLUP: [IMPACT]

KENNY: Prinplup, Bubble Beam, now!

PRINPLUP: [BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

PRINPLUP: [EFFORT]

KENNY: Way to go!

PRINPLUP: [CONFIDENT]

PIKACHU: [EFFORT]

ASH: Good stuff, Kenny, but we're not done yet!

DAWN: Wow, what a way to use Bubble Beam!

PIPLUP: [AMAZED]

BROCK: Using moves in a unique way is perfect for a

contest Coordinator

JAMES: That unidentified Twerp's really giving the well-known

Twerp a run for his mad money!

MEOWTH: Well, that's a Prinplup, and it's a piece of work!

PIKACHU: [IRON TAIL MOVE] PRINPLUP: [METAL CLAW MOVE]

MEOWTH: Poetry in motion!

PIKACHU: [IRON TAIL MOVE]

JAMES: What a power supply!

MEOWTH: I got me a notion.

JAMES: As do I

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

MIME JR: [ECHOING]

MEOWTH: We need to get that dynamo for Jess!

Okay, guys, you ready?

SEVIPER: [AFFIRMATIVE]

JAMES: Go and ruffle Prinplup's feathers with Haze!

SEVIPER: [HAZE MOVE]

ASH: What the...

KENNY: Where did that come from?

ASH: Staravia! Come out and use Gust!

STARAVIA: [GUST MOVE]

SEVIPER: [MENACING][STRUGGLING] JAMES: [SURPRISED]

BROCK: [SHOCKED]

ASH: Team Rocket?

JAMES: Don't blame us if you were too quick on the draw with

that hasty Haze!

KENNY: I don't know what you're doing, but let go of Prinplup!

BROCK: Hey, where's Jessie?

JAMES: Getting her nails done, if you don't mind!

DAWN: Nails done?

KENNY: Hey, Prinplup, with your power you can get out

of that hold!

PRINPLUP: [STRUGGLING][MENACING]

MEOWTH: Sorry to spoil the Twerp party, but Dustox's Poison Sting

just sucked the wind out of Prinplup's sails super big time!

DUSTOX: [TAUNTING]

KENNY: What? Don't worry! I'm getting you out of there!

JAMES: Not if they have anything to say about it!

JAMES: Cacnea, Pin m*ssile, and Carnivine, b*llet Seed,

and I'm taking a nap.

ASH: Look out!

- ASH: You okay? - DAWN: Kenny?

KENNY: Yeah who are those guys?

DAWN: They're bad. They're always trying to steal

Pokémon from us!

JAMES: But we're so good at being bad!

MEOWTH: Whatever, let's just get them!

JAMES: Just one step closer, and Prinplup gets punked!

SEVIPER: [THREATENING][STRUGGLING]

DAWN: Stop it!

PIPLUP: [DETERMINED] PIKACHU: [CHALLENGING]

ASH: Pikachu, wait! PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

ASH: You can't use Thunderbolt!

ASH: It could really hurt Prinplup!

BROCK: Yeah. Prinplup used Metal Claw before to dodge,

but not this time!

PIKACHU: [FRUSTRATED]

PIPLUP: [DETERMINED]

JAMES: Now don't move!

MEOWTH: It's time for us to be sliding on out of here!

KENNY: Oh no!

PIPLUP: [ANGRY]

JAMES: Why don't we go for broke?

MEOWTH: Yeah!

MEOWTH: Now would be a good time to make you dumb Twerps blast

off for a change!

CACNEA: [BATTLING]

DUSTOX: [BATTLING] CARNIVINE: [BATTLING]

PIPLUP: [BATTLING]

DAWN: No, Piplup!

PIPLUP: [DETERMINED]

ASH: What's that? PIKACHU: [CURIOUS]

DAWN: That looked like Bide

BROCK: I don't think so the flash was different!

PIPLUP: [WHIRLPOOL MOVE]

DAWN: Piplup, what is that?

JAMES: [SHOCKED]

MEOWTH: I hate Twerp tricks!

BROCK: That must be a new move!

ASH: You think?

KENNY: It's Whirlpool!

KENNY: It traps your opponent in a whirlpool and causes them

damage over and over!

DAWN: Whirlpool! That sounds like just what we need!

All right, Piplup, use Whirlpool!

PIPLUP: [WHIRLPOOL MOVE]

CARNIVINE: [PAINED]

PIPLUP: [TRIUMPHANT]

PRINPLUP: [STRUGGLING]

KENNY: What's happening to Prinplup now?

PIPLUP: [CONCERNED]

PRINPLUP: [STRUGGLING]

CARNIVINE: [STUNNED]

PRINPLUP: [EFFORT]

ASH: Hey look, Prinplup's just fine!

BROCK: It must be that the intense energy from Piplup's

Whirlpool is adding to Prinplup's power!

PIPLUP: [CHEERFUL]

PRINPLUP: [GRATEFUL]

JAMES: Perhaps a stealthful exit!

MEOWTH: We're blasting off, count on it!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

DAWN: No you don't! CARNIVINE: [SHOCKED]

DAWN: You're not getting off that easy!

KENNY: That's an understatement!

CARNIVINE: [PANICKING]

DAWN: Use Bubble Beam!

PRINPLUP: [BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

CARNIVINE: [PANICKING]

JAMES: At least Jessie will have nice nails!

MEOWTH: Wish I could say the same for you!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: Piplup, you were great!

PIKACHU: [AGREEMENT]

DAWN: Learning a brand-new move right before our next contest is

an awesome thing to do!

KENNY: And thanks to you, Prinplup's just fine!

PIPLUP: [PROUD] / [FRANTIC]

PIPLUP: [PAINED]

BROCK: Piplup, are you hurt?

DAWN: No need to worry, right?

ASH: Piplup, I can't wait to watch you two in the contest.

You're gonna be great!

PIKACHU: [AGREEMENT]

PIPLUP: [BASHFUL]

JAMES: Have mercy!

MEOWTH: Yeah, we were looking good for a while!

WOBBUFFETT: [AFFIRMATIVE]

JESSIE: A while?

MEOWTH: [SCARED]

JESSIE: Then that's that.

Looks like I'm going to have to wing it with you.

SEVIPER: [CONCERNED] DUSTOX: [CONCERNED]

JESSIE: But of course, I'm going to have to train you to be wild,

beautiful, and gorgeous, just like I am!

JESSIE: Soon as my nails dry, that is!

DUSTOX: [CONFUSED]

KENNY: Prinplup! PRINPLUP: [GREETING]

NURSE JOY: Prinplup is feeling just fine now! You two will be

all set for the contest!

KENNY: Thanks so much!

DAWN: Wow, that's a relief! Good for you!

KENNY: Well, you better just watch out, Dawn, because we're

going to get ourselves that contest ribbon, see?

You might as well accept it!

DAWN: Yeah? Afraid not.

You're the one who'd better watch out, see?

ASH: That's what I want to hear!

BROCK: Nothing like a couple lifelong rivals! Tomorrow's

going to be something!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

MARIAN: Miles and miles of beautiful scented flowers,

intermingling with miles and miles of excited Pokémon and

their Coordinators, can mean only one thing: it's time for

the Floaroma Town Pokémon Contest!

MARIAN: The one event on the contest calendar that promises

to blend nature's wonders with the wonders of the Pokémon

world, in all of its radiant glory!

ASH: Wow, is this something!

BROCK: Are you two ready to cheer?

PIKACHU: [CHEERING]

JAMES: Hope Seviper knows what's at stake!

MEOWTH: Namely, if Jessie loses this time, she's going to burn

us at the stake.

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

JAMES: [WORRIED]

JAMES: We'll be crispy around the edges.

MEOWTH: Like burnt toast!

MARIAN: As you all undoubtedly know, the Coordinator who wins

at five contest locations throughout the Sinnoh region and

gathers five contest ribbons will then be able to stand

proudly on the stage to compete at the prestigious

Grand Festival!

MARIAN: And here is one of those five spectacular ribbons

for all to see.

MARIAN: The fabulous Floaroma Ribbon!

DAWN: Hey, Kenny!

DAWN: I'm so glad we made it!

DAWN: Something wrong?

Oh, you're just speechless after seeing me

wearing a dress, right?

KENNY: Come on, that's crazy!

DAWN: Then what's the big deal, huh?

KENNY: Nothing!

DAWN: Don't you think I'm pretty?

KENNY: Now look, I'm not going easy on you!

JESSIE: Oh, who's that lovely lass in the mirror?

MARIAN: Now for our judges! First, it's our Pokémon Contest

Director, Mister Contesta!

CONTESTA: Yes, thank you!

CONTESTA: I welcome each and every one of you to our contest

in this beautiful city of flowers!

MARIAN: Next, Mr. Sukizo, from the Pokémon Fan Club!

SUKIZO: Remarkable! Thank you!

MARIAN: Finally, Floaroma Town's Nurse Joy!

JOY: Thank you! Thanks so much!

MARIAN: Of course, you know me! Yes, I'm your

humble emcee Marian!

MARIAN: And now for the first round! Where Coordinators get to

show their Pokémon in their best light!

MARIAN: So, let's get this show on the road!

ASH: Cool! Dawn's going first!

PIKACHU: [CHEERING]

DAWN: Pachirisu spotlight!

PACHIRISU: [APPEARING]

DAWN: That was gorgeous!

MARIAN: And Pachirisu provides a lovely electrical display!

PACHIRISU: [EXCITED]

DAWN: Oh no!

MARIAN: Pachirisu's slipped! PIKACHU: [SHOCKED]

KENNY: Not good

PACHIRISU: [FRANTIC] / [IMPACT]

PACHIRISU: [FLUSTERED]

MARIAN: Oh my, Pachirisu seems to be having a bit of

trouble at the moment!

PACHIRISU: [SCARED]

DAWN: Pachirisu! It's all right!

PIKACHU: [ENCOURAGING]

BROCK: Oh no! I don't even think Pachirisu's able to hear

Dawn's voice!

ASH: Pachirisu, calm down!

PACHIRISU: [PANICKING]

DAWN: That's it!

NARRATOR: Suddenly, it seems Pachirisu has run into some

serious trouble! And just as suddenly, Dawn seems to have

happily remembered something very important! Will whatever

it is be enough to turn things around?
