11x34 - Arriving in Style!

[bunniefuu]

ASH: Sure haven't been in Hearthome City in a while.

DAWN: You're right! PIKACHU: [AGREEING]

ASH: Great! This time we'll get to have a Gym Battle!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

NARRATOR: It's a joyous trip back to Hearthome City indeed,

as during our Heroes' previous visit

they were unable to meet with the Hearthome City Gym Leader!

But as far as Ash is concerned the second time's the charm!

On a road, far from home,

you don't have to feel alone.

Brave and strong,

together we will be.

It's our destiny!

We will be heroes,

We can change the world if we try!

I go where you go,

Forever friends, you and I!

We will be heroes!

Battle Dimension Pokémon!

[ASH READS ON-SCREEN TEXT]

ASH: Wha?

ASH: Are we ever gonna get a Gym Battle here?

DAWN: Brock, how could a Gym Leader

be absent so much of the time?

BROCK: This Gym Leader must have a lot to do!

PARIS: Oh, excuse me!

PARIS: I thought so!

You were the winner of the Hearthome Tag Battle!

You're Ash, right?

ASH: Uh, yeah!

PARIS: Wow, it's such an honor to meet you

face to face like this!

Are you looking for the Hearthome Gym Leader?

ASH: Yeah! This is the second time

I've come looking for a Gym Battle!

PARIS: Well, I'm sorry to have to tell you,

but Fantina the Gym Leader is still not back.

She's been gone on an important training mission

to develop a whole new battling style!

ASH: I hear you.

PIKACHU: [DISAPPOINTED]

BROCK: My name's Brock and

I happen to have made it to the top four in the Tag Battle!

CROAGUNK: [CROAKING]

PARIS: Oh, you were in it too?

CROAGUNK: [SNICKERING]

DAWN: It's really her!

BUNEARY: [EXCITED]

ASH: Sorry, but who is she?

DAWN: Ash! I can't believe you don't know!

That's Paris the world-famous Pokémon Stylist!

ASH: I give. What's a Pokémon Stylist?

PIKACHU: [CURIOUS]

DAWN: First, she's called a Poké Stylist!

A Poké Stylist is a professional fashion designer,

helping Pokémon look their best!

ASH: Whoa, never heard of that.

PIKACHU: [AMAZED]

BUNEARY: [GREETING]

LOPUNNY: [GREETING]

PARIS: Oh tres bien! What an adorable Buneary you have here!

DAWN: It's mine! Thank you! Oh, sorry, my name's Dawn!

PARIS: Now you wouldn't happen to be a Pokémon Coordinator,

-would you, Dawn? -DAWN: Yes!

DAWN: And going for the top!

PARIS: You might like to know

the Hearthome Collection starts tomorrow!

So why don't you and your Buneary sign up?

-DAWN: Hearthome Collection? PARIS: Right!

It's a Pokémon fashion show and it's open to the general public!

Everyone gets to dress up

and model their Pokémon in their own original designs!

DAWN: Yeah?

DAWN: Wow!

PARIS: A Poké Stylist is

one type of Pokémon Coordinator you see!

And the winner of the Hearthome Collection

will get to work on the Poké Chic Campaign photo sh**t.

It's a great way to become a Poké Stylist!

DAWN: Wow! Poké Chic Campaign?

PARIS: You might say it's a shortcut

to becoming a top Coordinator.

DAWN: Great!

PARIS: And Ash.

PARIS: You might like it too!

PARIS: Why don't you enter the Hearthome Collection

as well with that cute little Pikachu of yours?

ASH: What? Me?

PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

ASH: Pikachu what do you think? There's no Gym Battle.

PIKACHU: [CONSIDERING]

JESSIE: Who is that upstart?

MEOWTH: Only the most popular Pokémon Stylist, Paris!

She's a superstar of Pokémon Stylists!

JESSIE: Superstar my eye!

JESSIE: She's nothing but a legend in her own mind!

If I were to take only a fraction

of the fashion accessories James could craft for me

and enter that Hearthome Collection

her work would be deemed as super-schlocko!

MEOWTH: Hear that, James? Jess's digging what you do!

JAMES: Then a crafting we will go! So!

My artisan soul within has been stirred

and my delectable designs will not be deterred!

MEOWTH: That means Jess'll win

in case you guys didn't understand that last word!

DAWN: Ash, I'm glad we're both registering

for the Hearthome Collection!

ASH: Well I'm feeling kind of nervous!

PIKACHU: [AGREEING]

GIRLS: It's Cocoa!! We love you Cocoa!

You're just the greatest!

COCOA: Thanks for the well-deserved warm welcome! Wow!

DAWN: Whoa, who is that?

GIRL A: How in the world could you want to be a Poké Stylist

and not know the great Lady Cocoa?

DAWN: So who is she?

GIRL B: She's only a world-famous celebrity

who has the ability to hire

all the greatest fashion designers to design for her!

DAWN: Wow, I'm impressed!

COCOA: As soon as I heard Poké Stylist Paris was coming here...

Of course, I had to come too!

COCOA: Gracing the Hearthome Collection

with my debut of the season!

COCOA: And transforming the winner of a local event.

COCOA: .into an idol to be adored the world over!

BUNEARY: [INTERESTED]/ [SHOCKED]

COCOA: Don't you touch me with those filthy paws of yours!

BUNEARY: [SAD]

DAWN: I'm so sorry!

COCOA: What? Are you thinking of competing with Buneary.?

ASH: They've got some nerve.

PIKACHU: [ANGRY]

HERMIONE: What Cocoa considers fashion is just plain gaudy!

DAWN, ASH, BROCK, BUNEARY, PIKACHU: [CURIOUS]

HERMIONE: Though she has lots of Poké Stylist

secrets up her sleeve.

-DAWN: Excuse me. -HERMIONE: Yes what?

DAWN: Could you tell me just one of her secrets?

HERMIONE: That's for me to know and you to find out!

HERMIONE: Have you ever been in a Pokémon Contest before?

DAWN: Yes.

HERMIONE: Coordinators and Poké Stylists, they're all the same!

ASH: You still haven't decided on a design?

I've already got Brock making mine for me!

ASH: Hey you've come up with a lot of awesome designs here!

DAWN: Yeah, I guess.

ASH: You're gonna run out of time!

BROCK: Okay, Ash! Pikachu's outfit's all done!

ASH: Great! Thanks a lot, Brock!

BROCK: I'll be glad to help you too.

DAWN: Thanks but I've gotta pick a design first.

-BROCK: Still not sure? -DAWN: Yeah.

What do you think's the secret of being a Poké Stylist?

BROCK: The secret? Good question.

ASH: Awesome! You look great and it fits you perfectly!

PIKACHU: [HAPPY] ASH: You wear that

and there's no way the audience won't love you!

DAWN: Hold on. Huh!

DAWN: That woman said Poké Stylists

and Coordinators were all the same!

ZOEY: In the middle of all that flash Ambipom's disappeared!

You've got to remember that it's your Pokémon

that are always the main attraction!

DAWN: That's it.

DAWN: Okay!

ENTA'S VOICE: Welcome everyone to the Hearthome Collection!

ENTA: I want you to join me

PARIS: I'm sorry! Fashion should be a crime!

ENTA: Now it's time for Poké Stylist entry number eighteen!

PIKACHU: [EMBARRASSED]

PARIS: Those lightning-striped clothes are just the cutest!

All I can say is tres bien!

HERMIONE: That kid doesn't appear to quite get it,

but at least he's making the effort to show off his Pokémon!

JAMES: Well, not bad!

Their garb and accessories are actually quite unique!

BROCK: Thanks! I worked all night making them!

JAMES: It's the tall Twerp!

JAMES: Yes, excellent! Nice style sense.

ASH: Hey Dawn they loved it!

PIKACHU: [PLEASED]

DAWN: Yeah! You sure grabbed the spotlight!

DAWN: I wonder if I made a mistake

getting involved in this. No need to worry. I'll be fine!

JESSIE: Nah, this is much too subdued!

We need to give it some more color!

MEOWTH: I'm telling you, it looks great!

JESSIE: Then I'll just have to show you

how to balance a bland face with my colorful personality!

JAMES: Next up are all my handmade accessories!

The object here is simplicity and beauty,

and they're probably my finest work!

BROCK: Wow! Can't wait to see them!

ENTA: Next up is entry number nineteen:

the contestant Jessilina! With her Pokémon Wobbuffet!

JESSIE: Hi!

BROCK: That's... simplicity?

JAMES: My wonderful work has been h*jacked!

JAMES: They look like they tried to kiss a makeup truck!!

BROCK: Moving fast.

JAMES: My finest work has been reduced to subway graffiti!

JESSIE: Even pretty faces need to hop to it!

WOBBUFFET: [POUTING]

HERMIONE: Talk about garish. A new low in bad taste!

JAMES: How will I face my cosmetologist friends?

BROCK: But outlandish makeup aside,

your accessories still look awesome!

JAMES: You mean it?

BROCK: Sure! Those simple accessories are

the perfect match for Wobbuffet's round body type!

It all works perfectly forgetting all that make up.

BROCK: It must be awfully frustrating

to be so close to bringing out Wobbuffet's unique beauty!

JAMES: I can't begin to thank you

for being sensitive enough to truly understand!

ENTA: And now it's time for entry number twenty!

It's the pride of Hearthome City Cocoa and her Mismagius!

DAWN: All right. Time to see what Cocoa is made of!

COCOA: Dear Mismagius,

won't you please show everyone your lovely dress now?

MISMAGIUS: [AFFIRMATIVE]

COCOA: All right Mismagius, Psywave!

MISMAGIUS: [PSYWAVE MOVE]

ENTA: What an incredible sight!

PARIS: Beautiful!

JAMES: An insult to the designer community

to see such a tawdry gimmick!

BROCK: Though not an easy act for Dawn to follow.

DAWN: All the Contest experience I've gotten so far.

I can't waste it!

ENTA'S VOICE: And now for our final entry, number twenty-one:

Dawn and her Pokémon Buneary!

DAWN: No need to worry!

DAWN: Buneary, let's go!

BUNEARY: [EXCITED]

ENTA: Coming after Lady Cocoa they seem particularly plain!

PARIS: True! But simplicity can be strong and effective!

DAWN: Okay, Buneary!

You're on a white mountain of snow and you're a snow spirit!

BUNEARY: [EXERTION]

DAWN: All right, use Ice Beam!

BUNEARY: [ICE BEAM MOVE]

COCOA: Of course, the rest of you no talents

are only here to make me look fabulous.

JAMES: After all the under-handed skewering

Jessie did to all of my handiwork I'll skewer her!

JESSIE: You're the skeweree, See?

JAMES: If you hadn't assumed the role of Hearthome Collection

clown you'd be part of that trio of style toppers!

JESSIE: When I want your drivel-filled diatribe

I'll ask for it!

JESSIE: The way those judges didn't appreciate

my colorful persona, they must need glasses!

JAMES: Your makeup called for blindfolds!

JESSIE: What did you say?

JAMES: I didn't hear anything!

JESSIE: Meowth! Now that we've been wronged

what say we right the situation by taking

every accessory we can?

MEOWTH: You bet I'm your man!

ENTA: And now! On to our three awards!

ENTA: Oh my! What's that?

HERMIONE: Get that thing out of here!

JESSIE: You know, you could use a little makeup too.

JAMES: Please. A pompous platitude coming from you.

-JESSIE: On the wind! -JAMES: What's the point?

MEOWTH: Yoo-hoo.?

JESSIE: Bringing chaos at a break neck pace!

JAMES: Wow. I'm so excited. Can you tell by my face?

JESSIE: A rose by any other name's just as red!

JAMES: I knew that I should've stayed at home in bed.

JESSIE: Mmmm. Jessie!

JAMES: James poor me.

MEOWTH: It's Meowth to a tee!

JESSIE: Putting the do-gooders in their place!

JAMES: Goody Team Rocket.

JESSIE, MEOWTH: In your face!

ASH: Out of the way, Team Rocket!

HERMIONE: No one gives me advice and gets away with it!

HERMIONE: Out of the Hearthome Collection

or I'll throw you out on your bad jokes!

PARIS: Hermione! Please be careful!

JESSIE: First off, I suggest we take the accessories

from that queen for a day, and then the plain Jane Twerp,

and finish off with jungle boy!

MEOWTH: Sure with joy!

DAWN: Look out! Quick Buneary use Dizzy Punch!

BUNEARY: [DIZZY PUNCH MOVE]

COCOA: But I'm supposed to win!

This doesn't make one bit of sense at all!

HERMIONE: Ah, but the Accessory Award is perfect for you!

After all it was only your dress and accessories that stood out!

HERMIONE: You see, darling,

you completely forgot about showing off your Mismagius!

PARIS: I just loved the way you used your accessories so well!

Simple things that showed off your Buneary. Great! Tres bien!

of a Poké Stylist!

But you see my goal is to become a Top Contest Coordinator

and there's still a lot of work I need to do with my Pokémon!

BUNEARY: [EXCITED] PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

HERMIONE: I understand.

Make your Pokémon shine in Contests like they did today!

DAWN: Thanks!

NARRATOR: And so,

the Hearthome Collection has provided both Dawn and Ash

with new and valuable experiences!

As will Celestic Town, no doubt:

our Heroes' next destination

and home of the next Pokémon Contest!
