[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: Pressing on toward the Lakeside Resort, site of the

Grand Festival, our heroes have arrived in

picturesque Arrowroot Town.

ASH: Wow! There's a Pokémon Contest taking place here today.

BROCK: I'm a bit sorry you won't be in it.

DAWN: Since I've got five ribbons, there's no need!

All right Grand Festival, full speed ahead!

PIPLUP: [EXCITED] PIKACHU: [CHEERY]

FREESIA: Pardon me?

FREESIA: You must be Lady Dawn. We've been waiting for you!

ASH, DAWN, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [CONFUSED]

BROCK: Wrong! See, I've been waiting for you!

BROCK: I'm Brock, but I'm also overcome by your beauty!

It sends pangs of love down my spine. Or that's Croagunk.

CROAGUNK: [CROAKING]

DAWN: Hold on. What did you mean when you just said you've been

waiting for me?

FREESIA: Yes, excuse me. My name is Freesia! I've come out here

to escort you to be crowned Princess Dawn just

as soon as possible!

DAWN: What? Princess?

PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [CONFUSED]

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!

SALVIA: It's like a dream come true!

SALVIA: I can't believe I'm finally getting to meet you in

person, Dawn. You were magnificent in the Wallace Cup.

Piplup, you were great as well!

PIPLUP: [PROUD]

FREESIA: Allow me to introduce you, if you please.

FREESIA: The lady standing before you is Princess Salvia.

SALVIA: It's a pleasure to meet you, Dawn, Ash, and Brock.

I'm so honored!

ASH: You know who we are? PIKACHU: [CONFUSED]

SALVIA: Oh my, of course I know who you are! I'm a huge fan of

Dawn's, and I've watched all the contests and Tag Battles she's

competed in!

FREESIA: Princess Salvia is making a royal appearance in

Arrowroot Town today as an ambassador of good will!

FREESIA: However, Her Highness wishes to compete

in today's Pokémon Contest.

DAWN: Wow, she does?

FREESIA: Correct, but official duties make her participation in

the contest impossible.

FREESIA: Which is why we'd like Lady Dawn to stand in

for Her Highness!

DAWN: You want me to pretend I'm the princess?

SALVIA: Oh I do! Please say that you will!

DAWN: Well...

DAWN: Awesome!

DAWN: I've always wanted to get all dressed up just

like a real princess!

ASH: It looks good on you!

PIKACHU: [AGREEING]

DAWN: My subjects!

ASH, BROCK, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [AMAZED]

BROCK: You two look just like twins!

PIPLUP: [AGREEING]

DAWN: Who would have thought?

FREESIA: Well then, Princess, it's time to get dressed.

SALVIA: Yes!

DAWN: Oh wow! Feels like I'm looking into a mirror!

BROCK: You two look so much alike, I'm sure no one will

suspect a thing!

SALVIA: I'm so honored! Although I must say your little outfit is

less than regal. It embarrasses me a bit.

FREESIA: Your highness, it suits you well.

SALVIA: True? Well, if you say so, I'm sure that it's fine!

SALVIA: Togekiss, come on out!

TOGEKISS: [EMERGING]

DAWN: A Togekiss?

POKEDEX: Togekiss. The Jubilee Pokémon, and the evolved form of

Togetic. It is said that a Togekiss never appears where

there is conflict.

SALVIA: The truth is, my dear Togekiss has been training hard

in the hopes that one day our chance to compete would come!

Right, Togekiss?

TOGEKISS: [PLEASED] / [NOTICING]

Return.

BUTLER: Your Highness! Pardon me.

FREESIA: All right, dear guests, please step this way.

BUTLER: Curious! Your Highness, I don't seem to recall any sort

of meeting scheduled at this time.

DAWN: Uh. No need to worry. It's cool!

BUTLER: Princess! That sort of language is not appropriate!

DAWN: Yes, you're right. I'm sorry.

BUTLER: The greeting ceremony will begin at once!

Are you ready, Your Highness?

BUTLER: Everyone you are about to meet and greet is most

important to the stability of our land! As always, please make

sure you are smiling at all times!

BUTLER: Do you understand?

DAWN: I think so. Smile! Uh, like this?

SALVIA: It won't be long now. It's almost time! I'm starting

to get a little nervous!

ASH: No need to worry! We'll be cheering you on all the way!

PIKACHU: [ENCOURAGING]

BROCK: Then let's get going!

PIPLUP: [HAPPY] SALVIA: Right!

JAMES: Twerps, here?

JAMES: The Twerpette should be pleading no Contest by now!

MEOWTH: Yeah! She's already got five ribbons under her belt!

She can kick back with the rest of the twerps.

JESSIE: She's here to gawk at some real talent!

JESSILINA: So I'll just give her something to gawk at!

JESSILINA: And when she puts her undivided attention on

Jessilina... she'll witness a real fifth ribbon win.

WOBBUFFET: [AGREEING]

MARIAN: North, south, east, or west, wherever there's a Pokémon

Contest, you and I will be there to watch the best, and cheer

Coordinators on to victory!

MARIAN: Ladies and Gentlemen, your patience is being rewarded,

as it's time for the Arrowroot Town Pokémon Contest!

MARIAN: And what a setting Arrowroot Town provides:

a community surrounded by nature.

MARIAN: And now, let me introduce you to our judges.

MARIAN: First, our head judge, Mr. Contesta!

MR. CONTESTA: Hello, everyone! I'm so excited to witness all

the gifted Coordinators and their Pokémon, who have traveled

here from far and wide.

MARIAN: Next, the head of the Pokémon Fan Club, Mister Sukizo!

MR. SUKIZO: Arrowroot Town. Remarkable!

MARIAN: And finally, Arrowroot Town's own Nurse Joy!

NURSE JOY: So many great performances to come.

I'm thrilled!

MARIAN: And, as always, I'll be your host for the evening,

and my name's Marian!

JESSILINA: How dare that dimwit darken my contest doorway?

JESSILINA: If that twit's hanging here, that means she's

competing in the contest! Talk about ego! Her sixth ribbon

attempt flies in the face of my fifth!

SALVIA: I know you! You're Jessilina!

SALVIA: Pleased to meet you! It's such an honor.

JESSILINA: Honor? To meet me?

SALVIA: I mean, although we're the best of friends, it's been

much too long since I've seen you!

JESSILINA: Best of friends? What planet are you on? You already

have five ribbons, so why are you in my face now?

SALVIA: That's easy! The truth is it has always been my dream

to compete in a real Pokémon Contest.

SALVIA: So good luck, and may the best Coordinator win!

Good day.

JESSILINA: Well! Who does that Twerpish sweet talker think she

is with that gob of gooey good day gobbledygook? This contest

is mine, and no nerd's going to rain on my ribbon parade!

GUY A: Your Highness, it is such an honor to have an audience

with you today! Please do come visit my manor at your earliest

possible convenience.

DAWN: Thanks! I mean thank you and have a nice day, won't you?

GUY A: Good day.

DAWN: Can't we be finished now?

FREESIA: It won't be much longer. Why, there are only

eighty-two more guests left!

DAWN: Eighty-two more guests?

DAWN: Never mind. Bring in the next guest.

BUTLER: Next guest, enter!

MARIAN: And now! It's time to begin round one,

the Performance Stage!

MARIAN: Please give all the Pokémon a big round of applause

for their incredible performances!

JESSILINA: Yanmega, use Ancient Power!

YANMEGA: [ANCIENT POWER MOVE]

JESSILINA: Now, Steel Wing!

YANMEGA: [STEEL WING MOVE]

MARIAN: Wow! And Yanmega's Steel Wing

has completely shredded Ancient Power!

JESSILINA: Now! Let's slay them with Silver Wind!

YANMEGA: [SILVER WIND MOVE]

JESSILINA: All right, the big finish!

YANMEGA: [SATISFIED]

JAMES: Cheers, Jess! Bravo!

MEOWTH: It's this kind of rocking that'll keep us

alive and kicking!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

MARIAN: And our next entrant is: Dawn!

JAMES: The Twerpette!

MEOWTH: Can't she give it a rest?

ASH: Go for it, Your Highness! Oops, my bad. Go Dawn!

SALVIA: Togekiss, enter please!

TOGEKISS: [APPEARING]

JAMES: A Togekiss? Did she steal it? I would.

SALVIA: First, Aura Sphere, let's go!

TOGEKISS: [AURA SPHERE MOVE]

SALVIA: All right! Next, use Sky att*ck!

TOGEKISS: [SKY att*ck MOVE]

SALVIA: Now for an elegant finish. Use Air Slash!

TOGEKISS: [AIR SLASH MOVE]

MARIAN: Incredible! The rays of beautifully colorful and

shimmering light are pouring down on the stage almost

like an aurora!

MR. CONTESTA: Simply brilliant!

I fully enjoyed every one of Togekiss's moves!

MR. SUKIZO: And I might add: remarkable!

NURSE JOY: I don't recall ever seeing a light show that was

more stunning or wonderful.

JESSILINA: And adding insult to injury, she has the gall to

clothe herself in street wear!

JESSILINA: If that brainless boob thinks she can come between

me and my fifth ribbon, she can finally grow a brain.

DAWN: Man, I am b*at.

BUTLER: Then I suggest you get a second wind since you will be

attending a luncheon straight away.

DAWN: Luncheon?

DAWN: Eek!

DAWN: I'm not hungry!

SALVIA: I was so nervous!

SALVIA: I just can't believe it. My heart is still pounding!

Togekiss, is yours pounding too?

TOGEKISS: [AFFIRMATIVE]

BROCK: Princess, please don't worry! I'm totally sure you

passed the first round!

ASH: And it wouldn't surprise me if you won the whole thing!

PIPLUP: [ENCOURAGING] PIKACHU: [ENCOURAGING]

SALVIA: You really think so? Oh thank you! I'm so glad I came.

And I'm so grateful to be able to compete in a contest!

SALVIA: Such inspiring Coordinators and Pokémon working

toward their dream.

SALVIA: I hope you won't mind, but I must confess I've never

had this much fun in my whole life!

BROCK: No! I would imagine that everything is a little bit more

ordered when you're living in a royal castle.

ASH: Hey, speaking of castles,

I sure hope that Dawn's holding up all right.

PIKACHU: [REACTS]

DAWN: Oh no! I'm so, so sorry!

BUTLER: Of all the wretched blunders!

FREESIA: Lady Dawn, are you all right? Please don't panic!

DAWN: Okay.

MARIAN: These are the eight Coordinators who will be moving

on to the second round! So hang on to your hats, as they compete

on the exciting Contest Stage!

JAMES: That also includes the Twerpette. That Togekiss could

be trouble, stolen or not!

JESSILINA: Please!

JESSILINA: I'll win with the greatest of ease, while the

Twerpette flaps in the breeze! She who laughs last, laughs

best. Since Jessilina's talent trumps the rest!

MARIAN: Ladies and Gentlemen, the beautiful moves these

Pokémon display are keeping everyone on the

edge of our seats!

DAWN: Never in all of my wildest dreams would I have thought that

lunch could be so exhausting!

FREESIA: Lady Dawn, I do understand you're feeling quite

worn out. But there's still one tiny little duty left on your

calendar for today.

DAWN: Little duty?!

MARIAN: The main event of the Arrowroot Pokémon Contest is

almost upon us! But first we have a surprise! So please

welcome our special guest!

MARIAN: Gracing Arrowroot Town with her royal presence is our

goodwill ambassador, her Highness Princess Salvia!

ASH, BROCK, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: It's Dawn![SHOCKED]

DAWN: Now who would've thought I'd be back at a

contest dressed like this?

BUTLER: What was that Your Highness?

DAWN: Who, me? Nothing at all.

MARIAN: This is the Arrowroot Contest final stage!

Our finalists are Jessilina...

JESSILINA: Hi!

MARIAN: ...battling against Dawn!

MARIAN: We'll all soon know who wins the ribbon! Five minutes on

the clock. Begin!

JESSILINA: Seviper, rocket start!

SEVIPER: [APPEARING]

SALVIA: Togekiss, enter please!

TOGEKISS: [APPEARING]

JAMES: Go Jessilina!

MEOWTH: Rustle up your last ribbon and show them you're

leaner and meaner!

DAWN: You can do it, Princess! I mean me! I mean. What do I mean?

BUTLER: You must learn to speak more softly, Princess.

SALVIA: Time for an elegant performance! Togekiss,

use Air Slash!

TOGEKISS: [AIR SLASH MOVE]

JESSILINA: Seviper, use Haze!

SEVIPER: [HAZE MOVE]

TOGEKISS: [YELP]

SALVIA: Togekiss!

JESSILINA: Opportunity knocks! Knock knock, Poison Tail!

SEVIPER: [POISON TAIL MOVE]

TOGEKISS: [SCREAMING]

BROCK, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [WORRIED]

CROWD: [CHEERING]

SALVIA: Togekiss, please! Get a hold of yourself!

TOGEKISS: [GROANING]

JESSILINA: Seviper, dear! Wow them with Wrap!

SEVIPER: [WRAP MOVE]

TOGEKISS: [TIRED STRUGGLING]

JESSILINA: Okay! Time for a little dance!

SEVIPER: [AGGRESSIVE] TOGEKISS: [CRYING OUT]

JESSILINA: Showtime at Arrowroot!

SEVIPER: [AGGRESSIVE] TOGEKISS: [MOANING]

MARIAN: Wow, Seviper's att*cks are nothing short of

overwhelming!

JAMES: Yes! I smell victory!

MEOWTH: Smells like ribbon number five's gonna keep the

three of us alive!

WOBBUFFET: [ENTHUSIASTIC AFFIRMATIVE]

BROCK: Seviper's att*ck was devastating!

ASH: You can do it, Togekiss!

PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [ENCOURAGING]

SALVIA: Togekiss, get up. Please get up!

TOGEKISS: [STRUGGLING]

SALVIA: Maybe this was a ridiculous idea for someone like

me to think they could enter a Pokémon Contest!

DAWN: Don't give up hope!

DAWN: You've trained hard for today, haven't you? Both you and

Togekiss have sacrificed everything for this,

haven't you?

DAWN: Give it your all 'til the end!

It isn't over till it's over.

BUTLER: Your Highness! You must stop at once!

MARIAN: And Princess Salvia offers up some surprise words of

encouragement!

JESSILINA: No fair!! You're to be royally impartial!

No one likes Princess Prejudice!

SALVIA: Whoa, Dawn!

JESSILINA: Whatever. We'll trounce that tacky Twerpette!

SALVIA: She's right, Togekiss! It's not over just yet!

JESSILINA: Let's use a Bite att*ck with bam!

SALVIA: Use Safeguard, quick!

SEVIPER: [BITE MOVE]

TOGEKISS: [SAFEGUARD MOVE]

SEVIPER: [HURT]

SEVIPER: [REELING]

WOBBUFFET: [WORRIED]

BROCK: Togekiss doubled the point damage to Seviper because

it was so close! Excellent!

ASH: Do it, Togekiss!

SALVIA: Air Slash, now!

TOGEKISS: [AIR SLASH MOVE]

JESSIE, SEVIPER: [SCREAMING]

SEVIPER: [STRUGGLING]

MARIAN: Both point levels are about the same! This match is

nearly impossible to predict!

JESSILINA: I'll just save you the trouble! Seviper! All right.

Use Poison Tail!

SEVIPER: [PREPARING]

SALVIA: I will never give up! Togekiss, use Aura Sphere!

TOGEKISS: [AURA SPHERE MOVE]

SEVIPER: [POISON TAIL MOVE]

TOGEKISS: [LEAPING]

SALVIA: Use Aura Sphere once more!

TOGEKISS: [AURA SPHERE MOVE]

SEVIPER: [YELP]

SEVIPER: [GROAN]

JESSILINA: Seviper!

SEVIPER: [DAZED]

MARIAN: Seviper is unable to battle!

So Togekiss is the victor!

MARIAN: And the winner of the Arrowroot Ribbon is... Dawn!

ASH: She did it!

BROCK: That was brilliant! An amazing victory!

DAWN: Your Highness, you were awesome!

DAWN: Uh, right. That's Dawn!

MR. CONTESTA: To celebrate your victory at the Arrowroot

Contest, I present you with the Arrowroot Ribbon!

MR. CONTESTA: Congratulations.

SALVIA: Thank you very much!

TOGEKISS: [PLEASED]

MARIAN: And that wraps up another Arrowroot Town Pokémon

Contest! Thanks for coming, and we'll see you next time!

JAMES: Cheer up, Jessie. You were exemplary!

MEOWTH: Dig it! You were really great, too.

WOBBUFFET: [QUIET AFFIRMATIVE]

JAMES, MEOWTH, WOBBUFFET: [CURIOUS]

MEOWTH: Let's scram, it's the Twerpette! Spread out!

JESSILINA: Got a problem?

SALVIA: It's my way of thanking you for battling with me on the

final stage today!

SALVIA: Please take it.

JESSILINA: A ribbon! Wow! Why are you giving this to me?

SALVIA: I will never forget the joy of this day for as long as I

live! It was a pleasure to finally get to meet you, miss

Jessilina. Thank you for everything!

JESSILINA: Wait, but why?

JAMES: Joy of this day for as long as I live?

It was a pleasure?

MEOWTH: I think she should be wearing a bigger hat.

JESSILINA: Just because she's wearing her street clothes she

thinks she's so high and mighty! That obnoxious voice.

- No charity! - JAMES: Don't pitch it!

TheGrand Festival. You can go now!

MEOWTH: I can totally see that you don't want pity from a dingy

Twerpette, but dig! Getting your mitts on a ribbon is tricky to

say the least!

JESSILINA: For a dweeb, she's really not so bad.

JAMES, MEOWTH, WOBBUFFET: [EXASPERATED]

JESSILINA: All right, world. I've done it! Jessilina has

acquired the Arrowroot ribbon fair and square!

JESSILINA: Don't you three realize? My fifth ribbon means

the Grand Festival!

JAMES, MEOWTH: Right. Here's to revelations!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

DAWN: There! Now this is more like it, don't you think?

PIPLUP: [CHEERFUL]

FREESIA: I can't thank you enough, Lady Dawn.

SALVIA: Thanks to you, I have wonderful memories

to take with me!

SALVIA: Although, I still have one favor to ask of you.

DAWN: Favor? What?

SALVIA: Will you take my Togekiss with you?

On your journey. Please?

DAWN: Your Togekiss?

SALVIA: Correct! I think it's in Togekiss's best interest to go

with somebody just like you. You're in the Grand Festival!

I think it would be wonderful.

ASH: It looked to me like Togekiss really likes to perform

in front of a crowd!

TOGEKISS: [AFFIRMATIVE]

DAWN: I see. Okay, deal!

SALVIA: Then it's settled!

And I know you'll take great care of Togekiss.

DAWN: What do you say, Togekiss? Want to come?

TOGEKISS: [HAPPY]

BUTLER: Pardon me...

DAWN: We've got to be going now.

ASH: Bye, Your Highness!

BROCK: Take good care of yourself!

PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [FRIENDLY]

BUTLER: Princess, your manners were less than desirable, today.

BUTLER: You must do better, Your Highness!

SALVIA: I will!

NARRATOR: A brush with royalty, and a switch in identities have

given our heroes a day they will never forget!

NARRATOR: Not to mention Dawn's

brand new Pokémon friend, Togekiss.

NARRATOR: And now, with eyes on the future,

the journey continues!
