JOHANNA: Of course, Lila!That was quite the surprise!
DAWN: Lila! Hi, Mom!
LILA: Hello, Dawn!
That was a wonderful performanceyou gave us all out there.
DAWN: That's so nice! Thank you!
DAWN: So Mom said youtwo had a Contest Battle?
DAWN: Wow. It sounds like itmust've been totally amazing!
LILA:It was. As a matter of fact,
the battle between your motherand I
was the mostimportant battle in my life!
LILA: I may have won,
but when I saw how energizedyour mom was about battling,
I started askingmyself a few questions
LILA: Is this really what Iwant to be doing with my life?
LILA: Back then, I wasn't surewhich path I wanted to take:
Coordinator or Poké Stylist.
LILA: Then, I got the chance
to study to be aPoké Stylist abroad!
LILA: Not knowing what to do,I asked your mom for some advice
LILA: We decided then
we were both going todo what we really wanted
to do what we'd be best at!
DAWN: What a great story!
LILA: And that's why I decided
to pursue becominga Poké Stylist,
and your motherdecided to concentrate on
becoming a Coordinator!
JOHANNA:But I never thought you'd be
going after beinga Coordinator again!
LILA: Well, it's allthanks to your sweet daughter!
DAWN: Thanks to me?
LILA: You see,
of course I find the workthat I do now fulfilling.
LILA: But when I sawDawn battling on TV,
looking so full of life,the memories of my days
as a Coordinatorflooded back in my head!
LILA: So I started thinkinghow wonderful it would be
to stake earning my fifth ribbonin a battle with you, Dawn.
BROCK: Then, if you win,
you'll be able toenter the Grand Festival!
JOHANNA: But that's not thereal reason Lila's doing it.
LILA: Never could getanything past you, could I?
LILA: I knew I couldlearn something about myself
by battling Dawn the sameway I used to battle Johanna
and I will tell you,we went at it back in the day!
JOHANNA: It's obvioussome things never change!
MARIAN:Thank you for your patience!
And now for the results!
After careful consideration,the judges have made a decision!
The following eight Coordinators
will be moving rightalong to the next round!
MARIAN: Now,take a look at the monitors!
