Dawn's Early Night!

ASH, BROCK, DAWN, STARAVIA, PIPLUP, TURTWIG, AIPOM: [EFFORT]

ASH, PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

ASH: That's the Hearthome Gym, guys!

And that's where I'm going to win my third badge!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

ASH: Staravia, wait up! Right behind you!

DAWN: Ash! Can't you slow down a little bit?

NARRATOR: With his third Sinnoh League Gym badge on the line,

Ash isn't about to slow down one bit!

But little does he suspect there is soon to be a problem

ASH: Whoa, Nando!

NANDO: Greetings, my dear young friends!

Regretfully, the Gym Leader's not here

ASH: You're kidding

ASH, PIKACHU, STARAVIA, TURWIG, AIPOM: [PAINED]

ASH: Say it ain't so!

PIKACHU: [STUNNED] KRICKETUNE: [GREETING]

DAWN: Nando!

NANDO: How nice to see you again!

BROCK: You here for a Gym battle, too?

NANDO: Yes and I thought this time,

I would team up with my beloved Kricketune.

ASH: Hey, nice to meet you, Kricketune!

POKEDEX: Kricketune.

The Cricket Pokémon, and the evolved form of Kricketot.

It conveys its many emotions with the melodies it composes.

KRICKETUNE: [PROUD]

- ASH: Wow! - DAWN: Yeah,

a musical Pokémon sounds like a perfect match for you!

NANDO: You're very kind.

Sadly, it doesn't appear we'll get a chance to battle yet

DAWN: What? What'll we do?

BROCK: There's a note on the door

NANDO: The note says,

"I regret that I'm going on a journey for quite a long while.

And don't look for me."

DAWN: That's kind of weird for a Gym Leader

ASH: Man, that's just great! After all of this,

I feel like I'm going to explode!

NANDO: Perhaps entering the Hearthome Tag Battle

would be some help

ASH: What's the Hearthome Tag Battle?

NANDO: Only the most famous competition in Hearthome City!

It's where Trainers from all over the world gather to compete

in a challenging Tag Battle that will decide who reigns supreme!

ASH: You know, sounds like fun! So let's do it!

Hey, guys, are you with me?

ASH: And Brock, how about you? You and I would really clean up!

BROCK: I'm in, Ash! I could use a good battle!

NANDO: Then you can both register at Hearthome Stadium

ASH: Nando, you going to enter?

NANDO: No, Ash. We have decided to concentrate on the

Pokémon Contest this time

DAWN: Oh no! I forgot to register again!

DAWN: Nando? Have you won any more ribbons since I saw you?

NANDO: I still find myself with but one contest ribbon

and one Gym badge. What about you, Miss Dawn?

DAWN: I only have one ribbon, too.

Tomorrow will be my first contest in a while!

NANDO: You must be quite excited!

DAWN: I sure am! It'll be my first Double Performance,

but thanks to a good friend's help, I can use combinations!

NANDO: Oh, sounds like a great friend

SHELLOS: [CONTENT]

DAWN: There's the friend I was telling you about!

DAWN: Zoey!

PIPLUP: [GREETING] ZOEY: Dawn, you made it!

- DAWN: Is your leg all healed? - ZOEY: It's as good as new!

- DAWN: Wow, that's great news! - ZOEY: Dawn, who's that?

NANDO: Hello, my name is Nando, Pokémon bard, at your service!

It was after meeting Dawn and her friends that I

decided to take part in both Gym Battles and Pokémon Contests.

- ZOEY: Oh, really? - NANDO: Indeed.

It's an honor to be able to participate in both events.

DAWN: Nando's quite a busy person, uh

ZOEY: Who really needs to make up his mind!

NANDO: My Pokémon guide me. That is the wise way.

Do you not agree, then?

JESSIE [JESSILINA]: Here goes! We're off to the races!

That's right! Dance the dance of victory!

MEOWTH: Those two Pokémon look too happy for their own good!

JAMES: Yes, that is Jessie behind those glasses

MIME JR.: [HAPPY] SEVIPER, DUSTOX: [EXCITED]

JESSIE: All right, cut the lovefest. You're both fired.

MEOWTH: Ain't that a bit brusque?

JESSIE: It's time for those two to pay for my loss

to that redheaded hustler! SEVIPER, DUSTOX: [SHOCKED]

JAMES: There goes job security! MIME JR.: [WORRIED]

JESSIE: That's it! I'll use Mime Jr.!

JESSIE: Come on! We go together like a ball and chain!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

JAMES: And I know which is which!

MEOWTH: She needs more than one Pokémon, right?

JESSIE: So I'll un-fire one, and they'll like it!

JAMES, MEOWTH, WOBBUFFET: [SHOCKED]

DAWN: All right, Piplup, check!

PIPLUP: [DETERMINED]

Pachirisu, check! PACHIRISU: [EXCITED]

DAWN: Buneary, check! BUNEARY: [EXCITED]

DAWN: And Buizel, check! BUIZEL: [DETERMINED]

DAWN: 'Course I'm here That's it!All right,

you all know we've been training just as hard as we possibly can!

So no need to worry!

PIPLUP, BUNEARY, PACHIRISU: [THRILLED]

ASH: That's what I like to hear! Confident and psyched!

BROCK: You've really come a long way, Dawn!

But I would imagine you're feeling a little bit nervous

DAWN: Uh, I'm feeling a lot bit nervous! My heart feels like

it's racing at about a hundred miles a second!

After all, it's my first Double Performance

ZOEY: And it's all happening tomorrow!

- DAWN: Hi, Zoey! - ASH: Hey! Long time no see!

ZOEY: I heard about the Hearthome Gym thing.

- I'm really sorry, Ash! - ASH: It was a drag at first!

But Brock and I are entering the Hearthome Tag Battle.

That'll be a blast!

ZOEY: Oh yeah? That should be fun!

ASH: Thanks! I hope you do great tomorrow, too!

ZOEY: Of course, if I win tomorrow, that means Dawn won't

ASH: Let's say I'm rooting for the both of you, okay?

DAWN: Oh, I almost forgot!

Thanks to all the great advice you gave me

about Double Performances, I know I'll look great!

ZOEY: You know you'll look great?

DAWN: I can't wait!

You've taught me so much about contests, Zoey!

ZOEY: I think your priorities are a little messed up.

The Pokémon is the star, not the Coordinator!

ZOEY: Make sure you focus on your Pokémon!

DAWN: Okay. Thanks, I will!

ZOEY: And you all have a great time tomorrow!

PIPLUP, PACHIRISU, BUNEARY: [EXCITED]

MARIAN: People and Pokémon, connecting side by side,

creating all kinds of emotions!

Ladies and gentlemen!

The magic moment you've all been waiting for!

And that moment takes place in Hearthome Stadium

right here and now!

For our first round, Coordinators will use two

Pokémon in an exciting Double Performance

With the second round a Double Battle!

It's beauty times two! Battling times two!

Double the fun no matter how you slice it!

JESSIE [JESSILINA]: Guess who, girls?

- DAWN: You're Jessilina! - ZOEY: Hi.

JESSIE: So, dear, are you ready to give it your all?

DAWN: Of course! No need to worry!

ZOEY: Worried about other Coordinators?

You don't sound very confident

JESSIE: Au contraire! I'm confidence queen!

NANDO: Dear me the sparks are sure flying!

MARIAN: Here it is! The Hearthome Ribbon,

which one lucky and talented Coordinator will take home,

as well as the big chance to move on to the Grand Festival!

What do you think of that?

And now it's time to hear a few words

from our panel of judges!

CONTESTA: Thanks! A real pleasure!

I trust you're as excited to see these Double Performances

So let's all just listen to this beautiful music

and lose ourselves in its spell!

PIKACHU: [BLISSFUL]

ASH: The crowd loves it! Awesome!

BROCK: And, showing those sound waves is a brilliant touch!

They both must be very well trained!

ZOEY: Nando's showing off his Pokémon's beauty

like only a bard could!

He really does deserve to be called a Coordinator

MARIAN: And thank you, Nando! Now, to our judges!

CONTESTA: Truly incredible!

A performance that moved me from the bottom of my heart!

SUKIZO: Yeah! Remarkable!

was perfect! Excellent and well trained!

MARIAN: Now! Time for our next entry!

DAWN: So many gorgeous performances!

ZOEY: Hearthome City's known for it.

This super contest's famous

for the high level of talent it gets!

DAWN: Then that means this will be a great warm-up

for the Grand Festival!

ZOEY: Now don't get too far ahead of yourself

DAWN: Come on, no need to worry, right?

MARIAN: Now, time for our next entry! It's Dawn!

DAWN: Our first Double Performance!

And you both are just awesome!

PIPLUP: [PROUD] PACHIRISU: [PROUD]

MARIAN: What a thrill to see an Electric type

and Water type work well together!

CONTESTA: Dawn's performance showed off her Pokémon's power

- in quite a stunning manner! - SUKIZO: Agreed! Remarkable!

NURSE JOY: Wow, that combination of Sweet Kiss and Bubble Beam

is something I won't forget for a very long time!

ASH: Sure looks like Dawn's off to the second round!

BROCK: Sure does!

MARIAN: And now, give a big hand to Jessilina!

JESSIE: My public! Thanks much for the warmish welcome!

JESSIE: Go, Mime Jr.! And Cacnea!

CACNEA, MIME JR.: [APPEARING]

MARIAN: What a grand entrance!

Mime Jr. and Cacnea are moving together in perfect harmony!

JAMES: I so wish Cacnea had stayed fired!

JESSIE: All right, Cacnea, use Needle Arm! Mimic, Mime Jr.!

JESSIE: Mime Jr., Tickle, please!

MIME JR.: [TICKLE MOVE]

JESSIE: One tickle's enough!

MARIAN: This is a ticklish situation!

A surprising combination, where Cacnea joins forces

with Mime Jr.'s unpredictable Tickle move!

JESSIE: I never thought being ticklish was a plus!

JAMES: I think Jessie's found true genius in spite of herself!

MEOWTH: You know, being a complete nutcase like that

can't be faked! WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

DAWN: Okay!

ASH: That's so creepy!

BROCK: I'm so ticklish I can't watch!

JESSIE: Cacnea, Pin m*ssile! Mime Jr., Mimic!

CACNEA: [PIN m*ssile MOVE]

MIME JR.: [MIMIC MOVE]

MARIAN: Using Mime Jr.'s Mimic sets up an incredible finish!

CONTESTA: The power, impressiveness, and joy of

Jessilina's performance adds up to three out of three!

SUKIZO: Make it four for remarkable!

NURSE JOY: She really showed off their cuteness

in a truly unique way!

MARIAN: All right then, the excitement continues with Zoey!

ZOEY: Shellos! Glameow! Curtain!

SHELLOS, GLAMEOW: [APPEARING]

ZOEY: Now, Shellos, use Mud b*mb!

ZOEY: And Glameow, Iron Tail!

- ASH: That Glameow's fast! - BROCK: Yeah,

and look at Shellos's flexibility and tight movements.

They're both well trained! ZOEY: Now, Secret Power!

GLAMEOW: [SECRET POWER MOVE] ASH: What's that?

BROCK: Secret Power is a great move

that can change depending on the surroundings!Now, this time,

it seems to have created some sort of paralyzing light!

ASH: So that's got to be part of a combination!

ZOEY: Glameow! Use Shadow Claw!

GLAMEOW: [SHADOW CLAW MOVE]

MARIAN: Wow, Shadow Claw has absorbed the Secret Power

and is giving off a dazzling light. Gorgeous!

DAWN: What a move!

ZOEY: Now Shellos, Water Pulse, let's go!

ZOEY: Glameow, your turn!

GLAMEOW: [EXCITED]

ASH: They split that Water Pulse in two!

BROCK: And the sole purpose of that whole thingwas

to make both of her Pokémon shine

All I can say is well done!

CONTESTA: Glameow and Shellos's sharp and bold movements

had me riveted in my seat

and held me transfixed until the dramatic big finish!

SUKIZO: And remarkable!

NURSE JOY: The way her Pokémon shone, their precision moves,

and the sense of completion were just marvelous!

MARIAN: And that's it!

The end to our super exciting preliminary round!

So hold tight. The results will be presented in just a sec!

DAWN: You were great! And I'm sure Buneary's going to give me

an awesome performance like you two did!

PIPLUP: [PROUD] PACHIRISU: [PROUD]

DAWN: On to Round Two! Let's give it our best!

BUIZEL: [CONFIDENT] ASH: Dawn!

DAWN: Hey there, guys, how were we?

BROCK: I thought every one of you nailed it!

ASH: See? All that training really paid off!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED] PIPLUP: [PROUD]

DAWN: I'm feeling really confident this time!

That second ribbon's as good as mine!

No doubt it's going to be me and Zoey in the final round!

ZOEY: Now, slow down, Dawn!

We have to get past the first round!

DAWN: Yeah!

JESSIE: Keep clucking, and you won't notice when I win!

MARIAN: And now the moment you've been waiting for!

Here are the eight Coordinators who've made it through!

MARIAN: These eight lucky contestants have so impressed

our judges with their Double Performances that they're going

on to be part of Round Two, the exciting Double Battle!

JOHANNA: These sorts of things happen

GLAMEOW: [REASSURING]

JESSIE: I made it through! I made it through!

Don't feel bad, kid. You were pretty good, but I was better!

PIPLUP: [WORRIED] DAWN: I'm sorry I let you down.

You all worked just as hard as you could!

BUNEARY: [SAD]

ASH: Dawn, you were really good!

BROCK: Remember, you were in perfect sync with Pachirisu

and Piplup the whole performance!

DAWN: Okay, then why did we lose?

PIKACHU: [UNSURE]

- ZOEY: Dawn - DAWN: It's fine.

You don't have to say anything.

PIPLUP: [CONCERNED] DAWN: I said it's fine!

- DAWN: I'm sorry - ASH: Dawn!

ZOEY: Ash, hold on!

She just needs a little time.

MARIAN: Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for Round Two!

Get ready! You're about to thrill to the exciting

Hearthome City Double Battle competition!

So hold on to your seats, and let's go!

NANDO: X-Scissor.

KRICKETUNE: [X- SCISSOR MOVE]

SEVIPER, DUSTOX: [STUNNED]

MARIAN: And Nando wins!

So it's off to the finals with a powerful move!

JESSIE: No fair!

JAMES: I guess she was no match for him

MEOWTH: Like we're not gonna be for her

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

PIPLUP: [CONCERNED]

DAWN: Hi, Piplup

DAWN: Hey, guys.

ASH: The finals are about to start.

BROCK: It's going to be Nando and Zoey.

MARIAN: And now for our final round!

On my right, it's Nando!

And on my left, ready to battle, it's Zoey!

MARIAN: We've got five minutes on the clock! Let's go!

JOHANNA: Dawn must feel pretty bad

ASH: Yeah. Zoey does, too!

But they have each other to talk about stuff with

JOHANNA: Poor Zoey.

She got so close to winning the whole thing.

BROCK: Do you want us to go get Dawn?

JOHANNA: I think it's best if I leave her alone right now.

I know she'll be fine!

JOHANNA: You see, having a friend instead of me to talk to

is the best thing for her!

ZOEY: That Nando is sure something else, you know?

ZOEY: The way he's chosen to compete in contests

and Gym battles. It's like he knows it's his destiny!

I could never do that, I'll tell you

DAWN: Well, at least you didn't lose in the first round,

now, did you?

- ZOEY: Will you cut that out? - DAWN: Sorry.

ZOEY: I was afraid I wasn't going to make it

past the first round, too, you know.

When that happens, I know what to do!

I just hug my Pokémon! And that makes me feel a lot better!

DAWN: You know what? You're pretty smart.

ZOEY: Today was a great experience for me!

When I saw Nando and his Pokémon do all those amazing things,

it made me just want to work that much harder!

- DAWN: I guess you're right. - ZOEY: No need to worry?

DAWN: It's a deal! No need to worry!

NARRATOR: A valiant effort put forth by two good friends,

with both coming up empty-handed.

But not when it comes to their friendship

and a chance to take in another of life's lessons!
