DAWN: Piplup that was GREAT! GLAMEOW, MISDREAVUS: [SURPRISED]

DAWN: You used that move perfectly!

PIPLUP: [PLEASED]

DAWN: So now let's do it once more just like that!

GLAMEOW, MISDREAVUS: [EXCITED]

GLAMEOW: [CALLING] MISDREAVUS: [PLEADING]

GLAMEOW: [WORRIED]

ASH: Glameow and Misdreavus!

BROCK: Something's very wrong.

DAWN: Could they be who I think?

PIPLUP: [CURIOUS]

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

GLAMEOW: [EXPLAINING] MISDREAVUS: [WORRIED]

GLAMEOW, MISDREAVUS: [PLEADING] PIPLUP: [INSISTENT]

PIKACHU: [INSISTENT] ASH: Pikachu, wait!

DAWN: Piplup, where are you going?

NARRATOR: A surprise encounter

on our Heroes' way to Hearthome City...

NARRATOR: with a familiar but upset Glameow and Misdreavus.

NARRATOR: .resulting in a frantic dash through the forest!

NARRATOR: Deeply concerned about someone in dire need,

but the question remains. Who?

A Stand-Up Sit-Down!

GLAMEOW: [EXERTION]

DAWN, BROCK, ASH, GLAMEOW, MISDREAVUS, PIPLUP: [EXERTION]

ASH: Man, those two are sure in a hurry!

DAWN: That means we'd better hurry too!

GLAMEOW: [CALLING] MISDREAVUS: [WORRIED]

SHELLOS: [HAPPY] DAWN: Zoey?

ZOEY: Hey, Dawn.

DAWN: Wow, I thought they looked

like your Midreavous and Glameow!

ZOEY: Well... If you're going to bring help

might as well be someone who loves to talk.

DAWN: That's a fine way to treat a friend!

DAWN: So, what happened to your leg?

ZOEY: I was doing some training and I tripped. It's no big deal.

DAWN: No big deal? Come on!

DAWN: There's gotta be some medicine in here somewhere.

If you call snacks and juice medicine!

ASH, BROCK, PIKACHU: [EMBARRASSED]

BROCK: You just leave it to me! Pokémon medicine!

People medicine! If it helps you get well, then we've got it!

ASH: Yeah, way to go, Brock!

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

PIPLUP: [CHEERING]

DAWN: Right, who needs a Pokémon Center?!

BROCK: Hold on, What did I just say?

BROCK: Of course every Pokémon Center is run

by a beautiful Nurse Joy, but without any Pokémon Centers

there won't be any Nurse Joys anywhere!

ASH: Brock! Come on man, you gotta chill out!

It's okay, really!

ZOEY: I'd rather hear Dawn talk.

BROCK: There you go.

ZOEY: Thanks, Brock!

DAWN: Zoey, can you stand?

ZOEY: Yeah, I think so...

BROCK, DAWN, ASH, PIKACHU, GLAMEOW: [WORRIED]

BROCK: You must have given yourself a really bad sprain!

DAWN: You've gotta rest your foot!

ASH: But the Pokémon Center is way up ahead...

ZOEY: I'm camping near here... If I could just get back...

DAWN: Don't worry, we'll get you back there!

DAWN: Easy, easy.

- ZOEY: Thanks, Dawn! - DAWN: Hey, no prob!

ASH: Now you can just take it slow!

PIKACHU: [AGREEING] SHELLOS: [CONCERNED]

ZOEY: Don't worry! I'll be just fine, Shellos!

SHELLOS: [HAPPY]

ZOEY: I caught my Shellos in the very same river

you caught your Buizel!

DAWN: How cool!

POKEDEX: Shellos. The Sea Slug Pokémon. Shellos' shape and

color varies depending on where it lives. Two different

varieties have been confirmed in the Sinnoh region.

ASH: Shellos, nice to meet you!

PIKACHU: [GREETING] SHELLOS: [NERVOUS]

ASH: Oops.!

ZOEY: I guess Shellos is a little shy around strangers!

DAWN: Someone's been babying Shellos.

JESSIE: Looks like she's got a prima-donna Pokémon!

MEOWTH: You would know of course.

JAMES: Shellos is a shoe-in for the Hearthome Contest!

JESSIE: Then Shellos's got my name on it!

ZOEY: So how is your Buizel doing, Dawn?

DAWN: Buizel's great! Buizel Come on out!

DAWN: Do you remember Zoey? Right there!

ZOEY: Buizel! It's been a long time.!

SHELLOS: [GREETING] BUIZEL: [SUSPICIOUS]

SHELLOS: [STARTLED]

PIPLUP, GLAMEOW, MISDREAVUS: [CONFUSED]

DAWN: Buizel! What did you do that for?

PIPLUP: [SCOLDING]

BUIZEL: [DISMISSIVE] PIPLUP: [SHOCKED]

PIPLUP: [ANGRY]

BUIZEL: [FIGHTING] PIPLUP: [FIGHTING]

BUIZEL: [ANGRY] PIPLUP: [SCOLDING]

DAWN: Stop it, both of you!!

BUIZEL, PIPLUP: [SURPRISED]

DAWN: Come on.

ZOEY: How do you two think you can give a

great double performance acting like that?!

ASH, BROCK, PIKACHU: [CURIOUS]

DAWN: Hold on. double performance?

ZOEY: Uh oh, you don't know!

ZOEY: It couldn't hurt if you checked out

the contest's website. Here!

MARIAN: Now, the first stage of the Hearthome

Pokémon Contest is a double performance.!

MARIAN: .and the second stage is a double battle!

Coordinators who successfully complete

the double performance go here!

MARIAN: Marvel at the grand scale performance

of the world's top coordinators!

First up, It's Feraligator's Aqua Tail in action!

MARIAN: Now watch as it lifts Jigglypuff right up in the air!

MARIAN: Then Jigglypuff fires off a powerful Psychic att*ck!

MARIAN: A classic example of how two Pokémon work together

to create a magical performance!

DAWN: Makes sense. 'Course the name says it all.

ASH: So it's two Pokémon right from the first stage.

ZOEY: The same exact rules for the Hearthome Contest

as for the Grand Festival!

BROCK: Well, you haven't exactly trained for this,

have you, Dawn?

ZOEY: I'll help! There's no time like the present.

DAWN: Yeah? Really?

ZOEY: Well, you did save me, you know.

DAWN: That's great! Thank you, Zoey!

ZOEY: Let's start out by you watching our performance.

DAWN: Cool!

ZOEY: Shellos, Glameow! You ready?

GLAMEOW, SHELLOS: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ZOEY: Now Shellos use Mud b*mb!

SHELLOS: [MUD b*mb MOVE]

DAWN: Wow! Look at Shellos' neck!

SHELLOS: [MUD b*mb MOVE]

ZOEY: Glameow! Shockwave!

GLAMEOW: [AFFIRMATIVE]

GLAMEOW: [SHOCKWAVE MOVE]

DAWN: Now look at that.!

ASH: Shockwave charged the Mud b*mb!

BROCK: A Ground-type att*ck matched up

against an Electric-type should be the worst!

BROCK: But in this situation they're not battling each other.

ZOEY: Right! It's because of that that it works so well!

ZOEY: Shellos use Hidden Power now!

SHELLOS: [HIDDEN POWER MOVE]

SHELLOS: [EXERTION]

GLAMEOW, SHELLOS: [PLEASED]

DAWN: That's gorgeous!

BUIZEL, BUNEARY, PACHIRISU, PIPLUP: [AMAZED]

ASH: That was awesome.!

BROCK: I see. You used the intensity

of that whole performance to highlight your Glameow's

beauty at the very end!

ZOEY: Right, Brock! That way

I can really make my Pokémon shine!

DAWN: So, points come from the end?

ZOEY: It's more than that.

ZOEY: There's move balancing between two

Pokémon, and which order do you present them in?

ZOEY: Do you show them one at a time, or both together?

ZOEY: And what's the best way to get them to pose

after they've completed their moves?

ZOEY: Not to mention, which capsule

seal is the most effective seal?

DAWN: Oh man. Lots to think about.

ZOEY: Yeah, the double performance is more difficult,

no doubt about it.

DAWN: It's tough enough figuring out how to make

just one Pokémon look good!

You said you were still training,

but you sure looked amazing to me!

- ZOEY: Long way to go. - DAWN: But why?

ZOEY: Glameow and Shellos

should be able to shine much more.

ZOEY: But I still haven't come up with how to

really bring that out just yet.

DAWN: Oh. I see.

ASH: Whoa, that's tough!

ZOEY: If you want to improve, you can never be satisfied with

where you are now. It's the same with gym battles right?

ASH: Yeah, you bet!

DAWN: Wow, that's just what my mom told me

when I won my first ribbon!

ZOEY: Your mom?!

BROCK: Oh yeah, Dawn's mom was a top coordinator in her day!

ZOEY: Really! Now that's got to be challenging at times.

DAWN: A little. But all I can do is try to be me!

DAWN: And right now being me means working

on all of those double performance skills!

DAWN: And we're gonna blow them away!

PIPLUP, PACHIRISU, BUNEARY, BUIZEL: [EXCITED]

JAMES: So now it's double performance.

MEOWTH: It sounds like twice the hassle!

JESSIE: Not at all!

JAMES: Not at all what?

JESSIE: A double performance is using two Pokémon!

Well, we do that all the time!

JESSIE: It might be a Seviper and Cacnea combo.

JESSIE: .or perhaps a Carnivine and Dustox duo!

JESSIE: Not to mention a total Twerp as*ault

which brings everybody to the fore!

JAMES: That doesn't mean we're any good at it.

JESSIE: Perhaps I should win that contest

just to prove my point!

MEOWTH: Don't tell me we're going through that again.

JESSIE: Go through what?!

JAMES, MEOWTH: Watching you win of course!

JESSIE: So, let's prepare for my blast off into the world of win!

MEOWTH: That's not the blast off I'm worried about.

WOBBUFFET: [EXCITED]

DAWN: Now, here's the list of my doubles!

DAWN: First stage is Piplup and Pachirisu!

PIPLUP, PACHIRISU: [HAPPY]

DAWN: And Buizel and Buneary are second stage!

BUIZEL, BUNEARY: [PLEASED]

BROCK: The second stage will be perfect for Buizel!

ASH: It's the battling stage! PIKACHU: [AGREEING]

DAWN: So what do you think of my doubles?

ZOEY: Sounds pretty good to me!

DAWN: Okay! Let's do some double performance training first!

Piplup and Pachirisu, take your places!

PIPLUP, PACHIRISU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

PIPLUP, PACHIRISU: [EXCITED]

ZOEY: Now don't forget to use moves that bring out the beauty

and drama of your Pokémon!

That will show everybody how well you've raised them both!

DAWN: I've got it!

Now, Pachirisu. Let's start with Sweet Kiss!

PACHIRISU: [SWEET KISS MOVE]

ZOEY: Those hearts are beautiful!

DAWN: Piplup, Whirlpool, go!

PIPLUP: [WHIRLPOOL MOVE]

ASH: Oh no! The Whirlpool hid the hearts!

DAWN: Pachirisu! Discharge on the Whirlpool!

PACHIRISU: [DISCHARGE MOVE]

PIPLUP: [WORRIED]

DAWN: Piplup! Look OUT!!

DAWN, PIPLUP: [SHOCKED]

PACHIRISU: [SURPRISED]

DAWN, PIPLUP: [STUNNED]

BROCK, ASH, PIKACHU, ZOEY, SHELLOS: [SURPRISED]

BROCK: At least. it's unique.

ZOEY: I'll give you that.

DAWN: Now. This time we'll get it for sure!

DAWN: Pachirisu, Discharge! Piplup, Whirlpool!

PACHIRISU: [DISCHARGE MOVE]

PIPLUP: [WHIRLPOOL MOVE]

PIPLUP, PACHIRISU: [STARTLED]

DAWN: They can't see a thing in there!

BROCK: That Discharge was just too powerful

and it evaporated the Whirlpool.

ZOEY: It's a good thing to balance the power of your moves.

DAWN: You're right. nothing's working.

ASH: Hey, I know!

Do some Contest Battle training for a change!

DAWN: Yeah, you think so?

BROCK: Great idea!

You might come up with some good combinations in the process!

ZOEY: Yeah, and that could help

you with your Double Performance as well!

DAWN: Right! Okay I'll give it a try!

ASH: Pikachu, Aipom! Ready to go?!

PIKACHU, AIPOM: [AFFIRMATIVE]

DAWN: Buizel! Buneary! Let's do this

RIGHT! BUIZEL: [AFFIRMATIVE] BUNEARY: [FLIRTING]

PIKACHU: [EMBARRASSED]

DAWN: No, Buneary! This is an Appeal Battle, not a date.!

BUNEARY: [DISAPPOINTED]

ASH: Okay, I'm gonna go first! Aipom, use Swift!

AIPOM: [SWIFT MOVE]

ASH: Pikachu! Jump into the Swift and use Quick att*ck!

PIKACHU: [EXERTION]

PIKACHU: [QUICK att*ck MOVE]

BROCK: Pretty interesting combination.!

ZOEY: Uh huh.! AIPOM: [DETERMINED]

DAWN: But Ash left Aipom wide open! Okay dodge them both!

BUIZEL, BUNEARY: [EXERTION] PIKACHU: [EXERTION]

PIKACHU: [CONFUSED]

DAWN: Use Aqua Jet on Aipom, Buizel!

BUNEARY: [DETERMINED]

BUIZEL: [AQUA JET MOVE]

ASH: Hang in there.! AIPOM: [DETERMINED]

DAWN: All right Buneary, use Ice Beam!

BUNEARY: [ICE BEAM MOVE]

- BROCK: Not good.! - ASH: What was THAT?!

BUIZEL, AIPOM: [PAINED]

ASH: Aipom! You okay?!

AIPOM: [AFFIRMATIVE] BUIZEL: [STUNNED]

DAWN: Looks like we've done it again.!

ZOEY: Dawn, get a grip! The battle's still on!

DAWN: Oh, yeah, you're right! Buizel, Sonic Boom!

BUIZEL: [SONIC BOOM MOVE]

AIPOM: [PAINED]

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED] AIPOM: [DETERMINED]

ZOEY: That was a good example of

how you can get power from water!

PIPLUP, PACHIRISU: [HAPPY] DAWN: Buizel nice work!

BUIZEL: [PLEASED]

ASH: Yeah, that was awesome! But check this out.

ASH: Aipom, use Focus Punch!

Pikachu, Thunderbolt on the ground!

PIKACHU, AIPOM: [AFFIRMATIVE]

AIPOM: [FOCUS PUNCH MOVE]

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

BUIZEL, BUNEARY: [STRUGGLING]

DAWN: Buizel and Buneary, stay strong!

BROCK: Good moves! At the same time

Aipom was building up its power,

Dawn's side was immobilized!

DAWN: Quick! Buneary intercept it with Ice Beam!

BUNEARY: [ICE BEAM MOVE]

AIPOM: [FOCUS PUNCH MOVE]

BUNEARY: [PAINED] BUNEARY: [DAZED]

- DAWN: Buneary.! - ASH: Pikachu Volt Tackle NOW!

PIKACHU: [VOLT TACKLE MOVE]

DAWN: Quick, Buizel, Aqua Jet!

BUIZEL: [AQUA JET MOVE]

PIKACHU: [VOLT TACKLE MOVE]

BUIZEL: [AQUA JET MOVE] PIKACHU: [VOLT TACKLE MOVE]

BUIZEL: [AQUA JET MOVE]

PIKACHU, BUIZEL: [VOLT TACKLE] [AQUA JET]

BUIZEL: [STRUGGLING] PIKACHU: [STRUGGLING]

PIKACHU, BUIZEL: [WEAK]

BUIZEL: [DAZED]

DAWN: BUIZEL!! BUIZEL: [DAZED]

ZOEY: That's enough! Ash wins it!

ASH: Yeah, all right!

PIKACHU, AIPOM: [HAPPY]

DAWN: Oh man. How am I going to fix this?

ZOEY: Okay, exactly what were you trying to do with that?

Aqua Jet and Ice Beam?

DAWN: I guess... I thought Buizel

would look really good in its ice armor!

DAWN: But I guess I thought wrong, huh?

ASH: No, you thought right!

PIKACHU: [AGREEING]

BROCK: Using an Ice Aqua Jet was a great idea!

ZOEY: It'll be amazing if you can just perfect it!

DAWN: I still don't think it was that great.

PIPLUP: [ENCOURAGING]

PACHIRISU: [ENCOURAGING] BUNEARY: [ENCOURAGING]

DAWN: Yeah? You liked it huh? BUIZEL: [ENCOURAGING]

DAWN: Buizel? BUIZEL: [DETERMINED]

DAWN: You too?

ZOEY: Your team's sure ready to roll!

ZOEY: You can't just go and let them down.

DAWN: Well, no, of course not! All right! We'll do it!

DAWN: Let's try it again! Aqua Jet, let's go!!

BUIZEL, BUNEARY: [AFFIRMATIVE]

BUNEARY: [DETERMINED] BUIZEL: [AQUA JET MOVE]

DAWN: Now, Ice Beam, Buneary!

BUNEARY: [ICE BEAM MOVE]

BUIZEL: [PAINED]

DAWN: Oh no. Buizel!

BUIZEL: [DETERMINED]

ASH: That's it Buizel, this is your training!

PIKACHU: [CHEERING]

DAWN: 'Kay,

JESSIE: Howdy doo!

ESSIE: I haven't seen you in a month of Sundays!

DAWN: Hey, haven't we met before at a contest?

JESSIE: Right! Jessilina's the name, top Coordinator going

for the top prize and who's easy on the eyes!

JESSIE: Unless I need new glasses

I'd say you were practicing a Double Performance just now.

DAWN: Yeah, I was.

JESSIE: These glasses still work! But it pains me to have to

tell you that two-bit training is getting you nowhere fast.

Which in plain English means you stink!

JAMES: Jessilina when you're right you're right!

MEOWTH: She stinks big time!

JESSIE: After all, this is the Hearthome Contest.

Think they'll just give you a ribbon out of pity?

JAMES: You certainly know your contests, Jessilina!

MEOWTH: You're a ribbon expert!

DAWN: Now hold on!

My technique may not be as good as it could be.

DAWN: .but I know my Pokémon doubles are as good as anyone's!

JESSIE: Oh you do, do you?!

In that case have a Double Battle with moi!

ZOEY: I accept!

ZOEY: I'll take your challenge.

JESSIE: What? You will?

DAWN: But. Zoey!

ASH: Your leg's hurt!

DAWN: Stop! You can't do this!

DAWN: You've got to sit!

ZOEY: I'm fine.

ZOEY: Look, Jessilina, I get the idea you're

feeling pretty sure of yourself right now.

ZOEY: But it's not nice to talk that way

to someone who's working hard!

GLAMEOW: [GROWL]

JESSIE: I call them as I see them! But you'll do!

After what you did to me in the Jubilife Contest you owe me one!

DAWN: Uh, Zoey.

JESSIE: Here's my team! The duo of Dustox and Seviper!

ZOEY: I'm going with Glameow and Shellos!

ZOEY: You watch closely, Dawn!

DAWN: Right!

ZOEY: Now, you've got the first att*ck!

JESSIE: The first att*ck and the last! Dustox, Poison Sting!

DUSTOX: [POISON STING MOVE]

ASH: Whoa, now what's she doing that for?

JESSIE: Seviper, Poison Tail!

SEVIPER: [AFFIRMATIVE] SEVIPER: [POISON TAIL MOVE]

DAWN: Check it OUT!

ASH: She made the Poison Sting spin!

BROCK: Not to mention all the extra power

the Poison Tail added! That was some move!

JAMES: Told you so.

MEOWTH: That's sure gonna hurt you lots more than it hurts us!

ZOEY: Glameow, Iron Tail now!

GLAMEOW: [AFFIRMATIVE]

GLAMEOW: [IRON TAIL MOVE]

ZOEY: All right, Shellos, Mud b*mb!

SHELLOS: [MUD b*mb MOVE]

JESSIE: That's so.wrong!!

to show off her double Pokémon moves!

ASH: That's how to do it! PIKACHU: [IMPRESSED]

JESSIE: Sure if you want to lose!

Show them, Dustox, Psybeam!

DUSTOX: [PSYBEAM MOVE]

ZOEY: Dodge and use Shadow Claw!

GLAMEOW, SHELLOS: [DODGING]

GLAMEOW: [SHADOW CLAW MOVE]

ZOEY: All right, Shellos, Blizzard!

SHELLOS: [BLIZZARD MOVE]

ASH: Wow, what an awesome combination!

BROCK: Putting Shadow Claw together

with another att*ck was a brilliant idea!

BROCK: And the contrast makes it beautiful and effective!

DAWN: Whoa. It's true!

GLAMEOW: [SHADOW CLAW MOVE]

SEVIPER, DUSTOX: [PAINED]

SEVIPER, DUSTOX: [DAZED]

JAMES: We were the squishers.

MEOWTH: And now we're the squishees!

ZOEY: All right. Want more?

JAMES: No no, we're good.!

MEOWTH: And we're gone!

JAMES, MEOWTH: Carry on!

ZOEY: Wow, you two are the best! Thank you both!

GLAMEOW, SHELLOS: [HAPPY]

DAWN: I guess I've still got a lot of work left to do.

That's cool! I can do it if Zoey can!

BROCK: You've still got some swelling,

so I'd stay off that foot another day!

ZOEY: Right! And thanks for bringing me here.

ZOEY: See you at the Hearthome Contest, Dawn.

DAWN: Yeah! And I'm gonna work on everything you said.

ZOEY: And Ash, good luck at your Gym Battle!

ASH: Hey, thanks! And soon I'll have my next badge to show you!

PIKACHU: [AGREEING]

BROCK: So, Zoey, we need to get going!

- ZOEY: Okay! - DAWN, ASH, BROCK: See you!

ZOEY: Can't wait to see your Ice Aqua Jet combo!

DAWN: I'll get it!

ASH: That Zoey's something else.!

BROCK: A good Coordinator and a tough rival!

DAWN: Yeah, but I'm not worried.

Tough rivals are meant to be beaten you know!

ASH: That's the spirit!

BROCK: You'll do just fine.!

PIKACHU: [ENCOURAGING]

NARRATOR: A different kind of contest

competition and a reunion with her friend

and rival Zoey has Dawn raring to go!

NARRATOR: And with Ash's next Gym Battle in Hearthome City

as well, our heroes' exciting journey continues!
