13x20 - A Grand Fight for Winning!

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: The much-anticipated Pokémon Contest Grand Festival

is under way! And, after two semifinal battles featuring Zoey

versus Nando and Dawn versus Jessilina, only two Coordinators

remain! The two winners, Zoey and Dawn, have advanced to the

final round and are about to be part of what is sure to be one

of the most important battles of their lives!

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: Five minutes on the clock! And begin!

DAWN: Piplup! Togekiss! Spotlight!

ZOEY: Glameow and Gallade! Curtain, let's go!

PIPLUP: [APPEARING]

GLAMEOW: [APPEARING]

DAWN: Now Piplup, Togekiss, because Zoey is our most

challenging opponent yet, you can't let your guard down, ever!

PIPLUP: [AFFIRMATIVE]

DAWN: I remember back at the Jubilife Contest, when Zoey said

that we should meet again at the final stage... Those words

became my goal, and now look! They've actually become reality.

Amazing! I can't thank Zoey enough!

ZOEY: Dawn's really made it to the final round. But now, she's

my opponent, and the title of Top Coordinator is on the line.

I hope we both give it everything we've got and make

this a battle to be proud of!

ZOEY: Okay, Glameow and Gallade, let's go!

GLAMEOW: [DETERMINED] GALLADE: [DETERMINED]

ASH: A Gallade?

POKEDEX: Gallade. The Blade Pokémon, and the evolved form of

Kirlia. Gallade extends its elbows as if they were swords,

and when protecting someone, it fights fiercely.

ASH: That means she evolved her Kirlia! Whoa...

PIKACHU: [IMPRESSED]

BROCK: This is the first time Dawn's battling against a

Gallade, and the same goes for Zoey and Dawn's

Togekiss as well!

JOHANNA: Which makes them even, I would say...

ASH: [SURPRISED]

JOHANNA: Hi there, everyone!

ASH: Oh wow, it's Johanna!

PIKACHU: [GREETING]

BROCK: Please! I insist that you join us!

JOHANNA: Thanks Brock, that's very nice!

ASH: So wait, you're saying they're even?

JOHANNA: Neither one of them knows what kind of combination

moves their opponent's new Pokémon has. So I'd say that

- makes them even! - ASH: That makes sense...

DAWN: Now, Piplup, jump!

PIPLUP: [EXERTION]

DAWN: And Togekiss, Aura Sphere!

TOGEKISS: [AURA SPHERE MOVE]

DAWN: Piplup, Bubble Beam, let's go!

PIPLUP: [BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

MARIAN: A combination right off! Dawn has skillfully

combined Aura Sphere and Bubble Beam!

ASH: Yeah, that's awesome! It worked!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

BROCK: The team of Togekiss and Piplup isn't missing a b*at!

They're off to a good start!

ZOEY: Glameow, use Shadow Claw, and Gallade, Psycho Cut!

GLAMEOW: [SHADOW CLAW MOVE]

MARIAN: And Glameow's Shadow Claw splits the

Aura Sphere in half!

PIPLUP: [SHOCKED]

GALLADE: [PSYCHO CUT MOVE]

MARIAN: Gallade nails an even more beautiful counter

with Psycho Cut!

DAWN: Beautiful...

FANTINA: Wow! Such a beautiful yet stern att*ck is no less than

a move magnifique by Mademoiselle Zoey!

JAMES: Something you'd only

witness in a Double Battle, that!

MEOWTH: That Gallade's a smooth operator!

JESSILINA [JESSIE]: The glasses Twerpette's nothing to sneeze

at, trust me!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

DAWN: I know how good Zoey is. I'll have to go on the offense

and take control of this battle right now! All right,

Togekiss, up!

TOGEKISS: [CALLING] GLAMEOW: [SURPRISED]

TOGEKISS: [CHALLENGING]

ZOEY: [SURPRISED]

DAWN: All right, Piplup, use Hydro Pump!

PIPLUP: [FOCUSED]

ZOEY: Glameow! GLAMEOW: [EXERTION]

JOHANNA: That's brilliant!

Immediately responding to Zoey's call!

ZOEY: Use Fake Out! GLAMEOW: [GREETING]

PIPLUP: [SURPRISED] GLAMEOW: [FAKE OUT MOVE]

PIPLUP: [IMPACT]

DAWN: Piplup, no!

PIPLUP: [STRUGGLING]

DAWN: Nicely done, Zoey...

MARIAN: And Glameow nails Fake Out, leaving Piplup unable to

use its move!

PIPLUP: [DETERMINED]

ASH: That's Fake Out?

BROCK: Fake Out is a priority move that always makes its

target flinch. And it's because of Fake Out that Piplup wasn't

able to use Hydro Pump!

JESSILINA [JESSIE]: That move is an absolute must!

Learn it now, Meowth!

JAMES: Do! We'll render Pikachu's Thunderbolt

null and void!

MEOWTH: Not that easy, if you haven't heard...

ZOEY: Gallade, use Vacuum Wave on Togekiss!

GALLADE: [VACUUM WAVE MOVE]

DAWN: Togekiss, use Air Slash!

TOGEKISS: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ZOEY: It dodged that?

TOGEKISS: [AIR SLASH MOVE]

GALLADE: [EXERTION]

ZOEY: That Togekiss is surprisingly agile. Amazing!

And since my Pokémon can't fly, tricky as well...

MARIAN: Gallade and Togekiss's moves have been judged even!

Both sides have elegantly dodged their opponent's att*ck!

ZOEY: All right, Dawn, now it's my turn! Gallade, use Signal

Beam, and Glameow, Iron Tail!

GALLADE: [SIGNAL BEAM MOVE]

GLAMEOW: [IRON TAIL MOVE]

DAWN: What's she planning this time?

GLAMEOW: [EXERTION]

MARIAN: Another new collaboration move! Spun by

Glameow's Iron Tail, the colorful Signal Beam grows even

larger and is giving off an even more beautiful glow!

JOHANNA: By using Iron Tail's power, Zoey's succeeded in

bringing out Signal Beam's sparkle even more! She's making

the most out of Glameow's tail.

DAWN: You're not the only one with a spinning move, Zoey!

Piplup, Whirlpool!

ZOEY: Blast it, Glameow!

GLAMEOW: [EXERTION]

DAWN: Piplup, do it!

PIPLUP: [FOCUSED]

DAWN: And Togekiss, Aura Sphere!

TOGEKISS: [AURA SPHERE MOVE]

MARIAN: Incredible! Whirlpool and Aura Sphere have combined

into a powerful move! This is an offense-and-defense move you'll

only see in a Double Battle!

And again, their moves are judged even!

ASH: Wow, they both lost the same amount of points!

BROCK: Yeah, but remember, Zoey got a huge lead right from the

start. And because of that lead, Zoey's still ahead.

ASH: No need to worry! Dawn's just getting started! She's got

plenty of time to turn it around.

ZOEY: Gallade, use Swords Dance!

GALLADE: [SWORDS DANCE MOVE]

DAWN: Gallade powered up... Two can play at that game!

Now, Togekiss, use Safeguard!

TOGEKISS: [SAFEGUARD MOVE]

MARIAN: And Safeguard surrounds Togekiss! That soft sparkle is

truly mesmerizing!

MARIAN: Safeguard and Togekiss's elegance are earning

points in Dawn's favor!

ASH: So why did Dawn use Safeguard right now?

BROCK: Probably worried about status-changing moves.

JOHANNA: I think they're both trying to feel out each other's

next move!

ZOEY: Now, Glameow, Shadow Claw!

GLAMEOW: [SHADOW CLAW MOVE]

MARIAN: Wow! Watch the sparks when Shadow Claw hits

the stage floor!

DAWN: A Ghost-type move has no effect on Togekiss because it's

also a Normal type, so what's Zoey trying to do?

BROCK: Maybe Zoey's trying to confuse Dawn by purposefully

using an ineffective Ghost-type move.

DAWN: All right, Togekiss, Sky att*ck!

TOGEKISS: [SKY att*ck MOVE]

ZOEY: Right where I want you,

Dawn! Now, Gallade, use Psycho Cut!

GALLADE: [AFFIRMATIVE]

DAWN: I knew that was coming!

Now, Piplup, use Peck on Gallade!

PIPLUP: [PECK MOVE]

JOHANNA: I'm afraid that Dawn's fallen into Zoey's trap by

focusing all her attention on Gallade!

GALLADE: [PSYCHO CUT MOVE]

PIPLUP: [IMPACT]

GLAMEOW: [EXERTION] TOGEKISS: [SURPRISED]

GALLADE: [EXERTION] PIPLUP: [EXERTION]

DAWN: Where's Togekiss?

TOGEKISS: [FRANTIC]

MARIAN: Glameow's jumped on Togekiss's back and is refusing

- to get off! - DAWN: No way!

PIPLUP: [CONCERNED]

ASH: Zoey did that on purpose?

JOHANNA: It's obvious to me Zoey's strategy was to show off

Psycho Cut and Shadow Claw in a flashy manner, which ended up

grabbing Dawn's attention while taking her attention

off of Togekiss!

BROCK: A Coordinator has to be able to command two Pokémon at

all times during a Double Battle, which means the strategy

of distracting your opponent can end up being really effective!

JOHANNA: And it's a strategy you'd only find in a Double

Battle, too. It's an advanced technique that requires

Coordinator and Pokémon to be in perfect sync, or it won't work.

ASH: Zoey's something... Dawn!

Togekiss! You can do it! Hang in there!

TOGEKISS: [FRANTIC]

JOHANNA: Togekiss has completely forgotten it's a performance...

BROCK: When it comes to elegance, Togekiss's

performances are in a league of their own, but with battle

experience, Togekiss comes up a bit short!

ZOEY: Glameow, use Thunderbolt!

GLAMEOW: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

TOGEKISS: [SAFEGUARD MOVE]

GLAMEOW: [SHOCKED]

DAWN: Togekiss! TOGEKISS: [DETERMINED]

MARIAN: Safeguard has been activated! It was used earlier,

but it's surprisingly protecting Togekiss now!

FANTINA: Glameow's Thunderbolt may be magnifique,

but Togekiss's Safeguard protecting Togekiss in such a

powerful way is magnifique as well! Incroyable!

DAWN: Yeah! Piplup, let's give Togekiss a hand!

PIPLUP: [EAGER]

ZOEY: Oh no you don't! Go, Gallade!

GALLADE: [URGENT]

PIPLUP: [DETERMINED] GALLADE: [DEFIANT]

DAWN: Piplup, go on through!

PIPLUP: [EXERTION]

ZOEY: Now, Gallade, use Vacuum Wave!

GALLADE: [VACUUM WAVE MOVE]

DAWN: Dodge it!

PIPLUP: [EXERTION]

PIPLUP: [EXERTION]

GALLADE: [PAINED] PIPLUP: [URGENT]

MARIAN: Piplup is flying through the air!

DAWN: Piplup, use Hydro Pump!

PIPLUP: [HYDRO PUMP MOVE]

GLAMEOW: [IMPACT] TOGEKISS: [HAPPY]

PIPLUP: [PLEASED]

DAWN: Way to go!

MARIAN: Togekiss is free again, thanks to Piplup!

ZOEY: Wow... Who would've thought Dawn would show off

Piplup's moves in such a natural way? Gallade, use Psycho Cut!

GALLADE: [PSYCHO CUT MOVE]

TOGEKISS: [CONFIDENT]

PIPLUP: [IMPRESSED]

ASH: You're on a roll, you two, so keep it up!

PIKACHU: [CHEERING]

DAWN: Zoey, I think the real battle begins now!

MARIAN: What a stream of beautiful offensive and

defensive moves, worthy of the final stage of the Grand

Festival! So who will win the honor of Top Coordinator?

Zoey or Dawn?

TOGEKISS: [EXCITED] PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

ZOEY: Gallade, separate Piplup and Togekiss by

using Psycho Cut!

GALLADE: [PSYCHO CUT MOVE]

DAWN: Dodge it!

TOGEKISS: [EXERTION] PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

PIPLUP: [SURPRISED] TOGEKISS: [CONCERNED]

DAWN: Oh no!

DAWN: Quick! Piplup, use Whirlpool, and Togekiss,

help Piplup out!

PIPLUP: [WHIRLPOOL MOVE]

GALLADE: [SURPRISED] TOGEKISS: [CONFIDENT]

GALLADE: [SHOCKED]

ZOEY: I see! You're distracting me, too, huh?

TOGEKISS: [FOCUSED] PIPLUP: [FOCUSED]

GALLADE: [DETERMINED] ZOEY: Glameow, use Iron Tail!

GLAMEOW: [IRON TAIL MOVE]

MARIAN: Incredible! Glameow's tail has caught

Piplup's Whirlpool!

ASH: What happened?

JOHANNA: Obviously Zoey's trained really hard and gotten

really good at using Glameow's tail!

MARIAN: Amazing how Zoey can show off such an imaginative

move using Iron Tail! Elegant!

ZOEY: Now, Gallade, use Vacuum Wave!

GALLADE: [VACUUM WAVE MOVE]

MARIAN: Gallade's Vacuum Wave bursts the Whirlpool and

beautifully showers Gallade and Glameow!

DAWN: We are not going to lose!

Piplup, use Peck! Togekiss, use Sky att*ck!

TOGEKISS: [SKY att*ck MOVE]

PIPLUP: [PECK MOVE]

MARIAN: Togekiss's Sky att*ck and Piplup's Peck have combined

to create a move with unbelievably expl*sive power!

FANTINA: Oh! That move's as powerful as can be!

MARIAN: Dawn and Zoey's points are neck and neck! And with

seconds left on the clock, who knows who will win this battle?

ASH: Yes! She caught up to Zoey! PIKACHU: [THRILLED]

BROCK: If Dawn can nail one final move,

she'll be the winner!

ZOEY: Gallade, use Psycho Cut, and Glameow, Thunderbolt!

GLAMEOW: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

DAWN: Piplup and Togekiss, you're the best! Let's go!

PIPLUP: [att*ck]

GALLADE: [PSYCHO CUT MOVE]

MARIAN: Time's up!

MARIAN: And the winning Coordinator on

the final stage is...

MARIAN: It's Zoey!

MARIAN: Which of course means that Zoey is the winner of the

Pokémon Contest Grand Festival and takes home the highly

esteemed title of Top Coordinator!

GALLADE: [TRIUMPHANT]

ZOEY: Thanks, Glameow,

Gallade... It's been a long road, huh?

GLAMEOW: [PLEASED] GALLADE: [PLEASED]

DAWN: Congratulations, Zoey! You really are amazing...

DAWN: Piplup...Togekiss...you battled really well.

Thank you both!

TOGEKISS: [EMOTIONAL]

DAWN: I did everything I could. And this is the result.

But...I'm okay!

ASH: And after all that catching up she did in the second half...

PIKACHU: [SAD]

BROCK: It simply means Zoey's performance was judged a little

higher at the end...

JOHANNA: But that doesn't mean this is the end!

It's just the beginning!

JESSILINA [JESSIE] : I told the Twerpette she'd better not lose!

And just like a Twerpette, she had the gall to defy my threats

anyway! Enough! Back to the salt mines!

JAMES: Well, Team Rocket awaits!

MEOWTH: Besides, we've got work to do!

JESSIE: You bet! So, let's pinch us a Pikachu!

JAMES: Woohoo!

MARIAN: And now, Fantina is presenting Zoey with the

spectacular victory trophy! Congratulations, Zoey! We look

forward to all of your future endeavors as Top Coordinator!

FANTINA: The battle was magnifique! You were amazing!

Congratulations! I couldn't be happier if I won myself!

ZOEY: Thanks very much, Fantina!

MARIAN: And with the awarding of trophy and title complete,

we bring another exciting edition of the Pokémon Contest

Grand Festival to a close! To all the Coordinators who

participated, we thank you all very much! We look forward to

seeing you in the next Pokémon Contest, and we'll

see you all next time!

DAWN: Mom!

PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

DAWN: Wow, when did you get here?

Did you see the final stage?

JOHANNA: I saw your entire performance from the very

beginning, dear!

DAWN: Sorry, Mom. I lost.

JOHANNA: Yes, but I'm still so very proud of you, Dawn!

Your battling was just great!

DAWN: Wow, really? Thanks a lot, Mom!

ASH: I'll tell you, you and your Pokémon were so cool today!

Piplup and Togekiss's combinations were like the most

amazing stuff I've ever seen!

PIKACHU: [IMPRESSED] PIPLUP: [PROUD]

BROCK: It really was a fantastic battle, Dawn.

ASH: You and Zoey got us all fired up bigtime!

I was going crazy!

DAWN: Thanks a lot, really! Oh, that's right... Here!

JOHANNA: Oh, is that...

DAWN: It's the ribbon you gave to me back in Twinleaf Town when

I started my journey.

DAWN: Thanks for lending it to me! I was going to give it back

to you after the Grand Festival was through! I can't tell you

how much this ribbon has meant to me, Mom... And I'm going to

be just fine! After all, I have these five ribbons. And now...

DAWN: I've got a bunch of wonderful friends! And what's

also going to support me from here on out is everything I've

gained through my hard work!

Wait.am I being a little too sappy?

JOHANNA: I can't tell you how happy I am to hear that!

JOHANNA: Well then, there's lots I'd like to discuss about

today's performance with you. The good things...and the

bad...and the close calls. I figure it couldn't hurt to get a

little observation and advice from a former Top Coordinator,

after all!

DAWN: That'd be great!

- NURSE JOY: Ash? - ASH: Nurse Joy!

NURSE JOY: I just received a call from Volkner,

Sunyshore City's Gym Leader.

ASH: From Volkner?

NURSE JOY: He said he's ready to have your Gym battle, and you're

- welcome to come back anytime! - ASH: That's awesome!

BROCK: You've been really looking forward to that!

DAWN: Your eighth badge! And the eighth one's the charm!

ASH: It sure is! Dawn, I'll make our Gym battle as amazing as

your battle with Zoey! Yeah, you just wait and see!

DAWN: Congratulations on becoming Top Coordinator!

ZOEY: Thanks, but it still hasn't sunken in. And Dawn,

thanks for such a great battle!

DAWN: No prob! It was a blast!

DAWN: So...what's up next?

ZOEY: Heading back to Snowpoint City! When I called Candice to

tell her the news, she was like, "We're going to celebrate,

so get back here on the double!"

DAWN: That's Candice for you!

NANDO: Zoey. Dawn.

DAWN: Hi there, Nando!

NANDO: Your battle was truly brilliant. You know, life with

Pokémon is something.it's profound. And now, after this,

I'm going to train even harder preparing for the Sinnoh League!

ZOEY: Nando...it was an honor to battle you.

I feel like I got stronger!

NANDO: Same for me! I'll use what I've learned in my next Gym

battle. I only need one more badge to enter the

Sinnoh League.

NANDO: Take good care...until we meet again.

ZOEY: Candice told me she'd love it if you came along with me to

celebrate! Want to come?

DAWN: Thanks, but I still have a lot to do!

- ZOEY: Cheering for Ash, right? - DAWN: Yup!

ZOEY: Then Dawn, you go cheer your heart out!

DAWN: Course I will!

ZOEY: Okay then, later!

DAWN: Yeah, later!

DAWN: [HAPPY]

DAWN: Come on out, everybody!

CYNDAQUIL: [APPEARING] PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

DAWN: I am so lucky to have you all! So let's work hard,

and someday I'll be Top Coordinator!

PIPLUP: [ENTHUSIASTIC]

NARRATOR: True, this Pokémon Contest Grand Festival has come

to an end, but Dawn's exciting

challenges.and the journey.continue!
