11x27 - Strategy with a Smile!

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: As the exciting events of

the prestigious Wallace Cup unfolded,

a memorable second-stage Contest Battle between the team of

Ash and Buizel and Kyle and his Lanturn

left Kyle's team the winner!

Unfortunate for Ash, but not so for semifinalists Zoey and May,

waiting as Dawn now battles Kyle.

The question remains: Which of these Coordinators will end up

earning the coveted Aqua Ribbon?

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!

[DAWN AND MAY READ ON-SCREEN TEXT]

PIPLUP: [CHALLENGING]

CRAWDAUNT: [CHALLENGING]

MARIAN: And Dawn kicks things off with a Bubble Beam,

with a Sludge b*mb for Kyle!

DAWN: Piplup! In the pool!

PIPLUP: [AFFIRMATIVE]

KYLE: You, too, Crawdaunt, go!

CRAWDAUNT: [AFFIRMATIVE]

DAWN: Use Whirlpool!

PIPLUP: [WHIRLPOOL MOVE]

CRAWDAUNT: [WORRIED]

MARIAN: And Piplup's Whirlpool ramps up

MARIAN: with a hold on Crawdaunt!

ASH: Now that Whirlpool's gotta

stop Crawdaunt from going anywhere!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

MAY: On top of that, check out how pretty it looks!

CRAWDAUNT: [STRUGGLING]

KYLE: Use Surf now!

CRAWDAUNT: [SURF MOVE]

DAWN, PIPLUP: [SHOCKED]

MARIAN: Crawdaunt's Surf is riding high,

using the power of Piplup's Whirlpool!

PIPLUP: [PAINED]

MARIAN: And Crawdaunt hits its target!

MARIAN: Only a Water type could have responded like that!

CRAWDAUNT: [PROUD]

CRAWDAUNT: [CHALLENGING]

MARIAN: Ladies and gentlemen, once again Crawdaunt shows off

its impressive speed and movement!

BROCK: Obviously two Water types aren't going to

inflict much damage on each other.

ZOEY: Which is why how you show them off is so important!

KYLE: Crawdaunt, use Dark Pulse!

CRAWDAUNT: [DARK PULSE MOVE]

PIPLUP: [WORRIED] DAWN: Hurry and spin, Piplup!

PIPLUP: [AFFIRMATIVE] PIPLUP: [EFFORT]

DAWN: All right, use Bide!

PIPLUP: [BIDE MOVE]

MARIAN: What a great move! Piplup's Bide is melting

Crawdaunt's Dark Pulse and absorbing all of its energy!

KYLE: Since when is Bide used like that?

ASH: Since Dawn came up with that awesome spin!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

BROCK: It has so many variations!

Using Bide that way is just one of them!

KYLE: Quick, Crabhammer!

CRAWDAUNT: [CRABHAMMER MOVE]

DAWN: Do it!

PIPLUP: [BIDE MOVE]

CRAWDAUNT: [PAINED]

KYLE: Crawdaunt!

ASH: Wow, it worked! PIKACHU: [AMAZED]

MARIAN: The energy that had been building up

from Piplup's Bide finally explodes in a fury!

CRAWDAUNT: [EXHAUSTED]

PIPLUP: [PLEASED]

MARIAN: And that's it. Time's up! So.

MARIAN: Moving right along to the finals will be.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's Dawn!

DAWN: We won, Piplup!

PIPLUP: [THRILLED]

DAWN: You were so great! Thank you!

MARIAN: Tough break for Kyle,

though it was a very close battle indeed!

CONTESTA: Both teams can be very proud.

Piplup and Crawdaunt were amazing!

SUKIZO: And remarkable!

JOY: It was plain to me what great examples of well-trained

Pokémon those two Water types are!

WALLACE: Just excellent!

Now that was a truly spectacular battle!

ASH: Dawn did it!

BROCK: She made it to the finals!

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

MAY: No doubt, that's a huge win for Dawn!

ZOEY: Yeah! It'll be a big confidence

booster for those two!

MAY: And guess who's up next?

ZOEY: It's you and me, May!

JESSIE: It's finals time, and you are there!

JESSIE: Thoughts and feelings?

DAWN: Uh.uh.

JESSIE: Well now, that's profound!

A quotable utterance if there ever was one!

JESSIE: Remember, folks, you heard it here first!

"Uh.uh." The catchphrase for a new generation!

JESSIE: Encapsulating all the excitement

of the wonderful Wallace Cup!

JESSIE: This has been another insightful interview

with Jessedia. Bye!

JOHANNA: Wow, the mainstream media sure are changing.

GLAMEOW: [AGREEMENT]

MARIAN: It's time for the second battle

of the Wallace Cup semifinals!

MARIAN: On this side, it's Zoey!

MARIAN: And on this side, it's May!

MARIAN: We've got five minutes on the clock.

MARIAN: We're off!

MAY: All right, Beautifly! Take the stage!

BEAUTIFLY: [APPEARING]

ZOEY: Now, Glameow! Curtain,go!

GLAMEOW: [APPEARING]

MAY: Beautifly, Silver Wind!

BEAUTIFLY: [SILVER WIND MOVE]

GLAMEOW: [STRUGGLING]

MARIAN: And May's off to a rousing start!

MARIAN: That Silver Wind,

combined with Beautifly's sparkling dust,

is showering us with a rainbow of colors!

ZOEY: Now that was a beautiful move!

DAWN: Awesome! Wow!

PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

ASH: And stronger than it was in the past!

PIKACHU: [AMAZED]

BROCK: It's a combination of ingredients

like that that really shows off your Pokémon!

ZOEY: Now, jump, Glameow!

GLAMEOW: [EFFORT]

BEAUTIFLY: [SURPRISED]

MARIAN: And Glameow's powerful tail

launches it high into the sky!

MAY: Beautifly, use Psychic!

BEAUTIFLY: [PSYCHIC MOVE]

ZOEY: Dodge and use Shadow Claw!

GLAMEOW: [SHADOW CLAW MOVE]

MAY: Beautifly, dodge it!

BEAUTIFLY: [EFFORT]

MARIAN: And Beautifly dodges with grace!

ZOEY: Now, Glameow!

GLAMEOW: [SHADOW CLAW MOVE]

BEAUTIFLY: [WORRIED]

MARIAN: That was impressive! BEAUTIFLY: [CONCERNED]

MARIAN: Beautifly has been completely surrounded by the

curtain of water created by Glameow's powerful Shadow Claw!

BROCK: So now they're showing themselves off using water!

PIPLUP: [AGREEMENT]

DAWN: A Contest Battle is about

a whole lot more than just causing damage!

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

ASH: Check it out! Glameow

doesn't get around too well in water, either.

ZOEY: Shock Wave!

GLAMEOW: [SHOCK WAVE MOVE]

BEAUTIFLY: [PAINED]

MARIAN: And that Shock Wave cuts

right through the curtain of water for a direct hit!

MARIAN: And a super effect!

ASH: Zoey blocked out May with water

so Glameow could hit it with an electric att*ck!

BROCK: Could that have been Zoey's plan all along?

DAWN: That girl's amazing!

She just owns the entire water b*ttlefield!

BEAUTIFLY: [STRUGGLING]

MAY: Beautifly! Are you all right?

BEAUTIFLY: [DETERMINED]

MAY: Zoey's one tough Coordinator, all right!

GLAMEOW: [CONFIDENT]

ZOEY: Nice, Glameow! GLAMEOW: [PLEASED]

MARIAN: Now, folks, just take a good look at Glameow!

MARIAN: Wrapped up in the remnants of that Shock Wave,

Glameow looks so beautiful, it's almost frightening!

WALLACE: Isn't it glorious?

DAWN, BROCK, PIPLUP, PIKACHU: [AMAZED]

ASH: Marian's right! PIKACHU: [AMAZED]

BROCK: You know that's gotta be

putting May under intense pressure!

MEOWTH: The redheaded Twerp rocks!

JAMES: Certainly one for the contest record books.

JESSIE: Please. One for the cheese books!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ZOEY: Let's turn it up! IronTail!

GLAMEOW: [IRON TAIL MOVE]

MAY: Below you, Silver Wind!

BEAUTIFLY: [SILVER WIND MOVE]

ZOEY, GLAMEOW: [SHOCKED]

BEAUTIFLY: [GREETING]

MAY: Now use Psychic!

BEAUTIFLY: [PSYCHIC MOVE]

GLAMEOW: [PAINED]

MARIAN: May's not about to give up!

Now she's using the water to counterattack

and steal some of Zoey's thunder!

MAY: Morning Sun, go!

BEAUTIFLY: [MORNING SUN MOVE]

MAY: Wow, that was just beautiful!

MARIAN: And a fantastic Morning Sun!

Gorgeous and healing all at the same time!

DAWN: That was a great move!

May and Beautifly are totally in sync!

PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

BROCK: Remember, the two of them have been through

more Contest battles than I can even count,

and that's saying a lot!

ASH: You're right, but either May

or Zoey could pull this one out!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

MAY: Beautifly, now! Use Aerial Ace!

BEAUTIFLY: [AERIAL ACE MOVE]

MARIAN: What a change!

Beautifly makes the transition from a beautiful Morning Sun.

MARIAN: to a speedy Aerial Ace!

ASH: They learned how to use Aerial Ace!

ZOEY: Quick, Shadow Claw!

GLAMEOW: [SHADOW CLAW MOVE]

BEAUTIFLY/GLAMEOW: [BATTLING]

MARIAN: That's it! Time'sup!

ASH, BROCK, DAWN, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [SHOCKED]

MARIAN: After some fierce battling,

the Coordinator moving on to the finals is...

MARIAN: Wow! It's May!

MAY: Yes! Great!

BEAUTIFLY: [HAPPY]

MAY: Thanks, Beautifly, awesome job!

ZOEY: Don't feel bad, Glameow.

Cheer up! Hey, you were wonderful!

GLAMEOW: [GRATEFUL]

CONTESTA: It was one new and

beautiful appeal after the other without any letup!

SUKIZO: Also, it was remarkable!

JOY: I'm deeply grateful to both our Coordinators for doing such

a wonderful job of showing off their amazing Pokémon!

WALLACE: Thanks to the two of you

for that thrilling performance!

And now it's on to the exciting finals!

MAY: Dawn and me in the finals!

DAWN: May and me. in the finals!

DAWN: Wow, I'm in the finals. up against May!

PIPLUP: [STRUGGLING]

DAWN: Sorry, Piplup!

PIPLUP: [RELIEVED]

ASH: Hey, Dawn. what's up? PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

BROCK: It has been a long time since Dawn's won a contest,

and suddenly she's up against the girl who defeated Zoey!

ASH: Oh, yeah, I can understand that!

DAWN: True, but here we are. And right about now,

we've gotta believe in ourselves! Right?

PIPLUP: [CONFIDENT] ZOEY: That's the spirit!

DAWN, PIPLUP: [CURIOUS]

DAWN: Zoey, you were wonderful!

BROCK: So where's May?

ZOEY: She's doing an interview over there.

ASH: That was a great battle by you two!

PIKACHU: [AGREEMENT]

ZOEY: Thanks, Ash.

Although I have to say I learned a lot from May's performance.

ZOEY: She shows no fear when it comes to

showing off her Pokémon. So, Dawn, be careful!

DAWN: I don't want to lose.

After all, we've come this far!

JESSIE: What a coup! We're lucky enough to have

the lucky May here for a word or two!

JESSIE: So! Thoughts on your close battle?

MAY: Well, Beautifly fought awfully hard.

JESSIE: Thanks, but it's time to remind our TV viewerst

that the finals are soon to come!

JESSIE: And someone has to go home with the Aqua Ribbon!

JESSIE: Oh, be still, my pitter-patting heart!

JESSIE: The excitement's written all over my gorgeous face!

MEOWTH: How far can we pull back?

WOBBUFFET: [SHEEPISH]

MARIAN: So! We've been here at Lake Valor

for the past three days of never-ending thrills and chills!

But now it's time for what you've all been waiting for:

the Wallace Cup's final stage!

DAWN: After watching that battle between you and Zoey,

I'm feeling a teensy bit queasy!

DAWN: But Piplup and I are so ready to go!

MAY: I'm ready, too. Let's give the audience

the best Contest Battle they've ever seen!

MAY: And whoever wins, no hard feelings!

DAWN: Right!

MARIAN: And the two finalists have made their grand entrance!

MARIAN: On this side is Dawn!

JOHANNA: She looks so ready for this! Look out!

MARIAN: And on this side is May!

MARIAN: May is from Petalburg City in the Hoenn region!

MARIAN: She's currently competing

in Pokémon Contests within the Johto region!

WALLACE: This will be a treat

for all you contest fans out there!

WALLACE: So let's cheer these two talented Coordinators onto

the final round, not forgetting their stunning Pokémon as well!

WALLACE: I welcome you to my stage!

MAY, DAWN: Thanks!

MARIAN: The time limit for the Wallace Cup final stage

is five minutes!

MARIAN: Let's go!

DAWN: Okay, Piplup! Spotlight!

PIPLUP: [APPEARING]

MAY: All right, Glaceon! Take the stage!

GLACEON: [APPEARING]

DAWN: Wow, Glaceon!

PIPLUP: [WORRIED]

ASH: This battle must be Glaceon's first!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

BROCK: You know, Glaceon's a lot stronger now

than before it evolved from Eevee!

BROCK: Wonder how May's going to show it off?

DAWN: Piplup, Bubble Beam!

PIPLUP: [BUBBLEBEAM MOVE]

MAY: Dodge it and use Secret Power!

GLACEON: [SECRET POWER MOVE]

PIPLUP: [PAINED]

DAWN: Piplup no!

MARIAN: It looks like that Secret Power

has Piplup paralyzed!

PIPLUP: [STRUGGLING]

DAWN: Just relax, Piplup, and you'll be all right!

ZOEY: Using Secret Power like that to show off Glaceon

was great strategy. A smart move!

ASH: Doesn't the effect of Secret Power change

depending on where you happen to be?

BROCK: Right, but when you're on stage, it causes paralysis!

MAY: Ice Shard, go!

GLACEON: [ICE SHARD MOVE]

PIPLUP: [WORRIED]

MARIAN: Ice Shard, beautiful! And powerful as well!

DAWN: Quick, in the pool!

PIPLUP: [EFFORT]

GLACEON: [CONFIDENT]

BROCK, ASH, ZOEY, BUIZEL, PIKACHU, PACHIRISU: [SHOCKED]

PIPLUP: [STUNNED]

PIPLUP: [DETERMINED]

MARIAN: And Piplup recovers!

MAY: Now that's how you use a water b*ttlefield!

DAWN: Okay, Piplup, Whirlpool!

PIPLUP: [WHIRLPOOL MOVE]

MARIAN: And it's another powerful Whirlpool!

Piplup's water control is incredible!

What a great way to show off!

MAY: Nice going!

MAY: But I think it's time to grab some of that power!

Mirror Coat!

GLACEON: [MIRROR COAT MOVE]

MARIAN: Mirror Coat's reflecting back that Whirlpool!

MARIAN: Returning the damage Glaceon took!

MARIAN: Times two!

PIPLUP: [PAINED]

DAWN: You okay? PIPLUP: [CONFIDENT]

DAWN: Bubble Beam, now!

PIPLUP: [BUBBLEBEAM MOVE]

GLACEON: [STRUGGLING]

MARIAN: And Piplup att*cks with a speedy Bubble Beam!

MAY: Shadow Ball!

GLACEON: [SHADOW BALL MOVE]

DAWN: Piplup, spin and dodge!

PIPLUP: [EFFORT]

MAY: Wow, what a beautiful dodge! But now.

MAY: I'll take that water!

MAY: Glaceon, Secret Power!

GLACEON: [SECRET POWER MOVE]

DAWN: Secret Power again? PIPLUP: [QUESTIONING]

ASH: So what will it do this time?

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED] DAWN: Dodge it, quick!

PIPLUP: [WORRIED]

MARIAN: Glaceon's so fast, even Piplup can't dodge in time!

DAWN: Quick, snap out of it!

PIPLUP: [DETERMINED]

MAY, GLACEON: [SURPRISED]

MARIAN: And Secret Power misses its mark,

as a defiant Piplup takes almost zero damage!

BROCK: And that's because the effects of Secret Power

are somewhat random!

ZOEY: In a puddle of water, its added effect may be sleep,

but otherwise it's like using Tackle!

MAY: All right, try this! Glaceon, Shadow Ball!

GLACEON: [SHADOW BALL MOVE]

MARIAN: And Glaceon puts everything into

that Shadow Ball! What a dynamic display of power!

DAWN: Bubble Beam, go!

PIPLUP: [BUBBLEBEAM MOVE]

GLACEON: [STRUGGLING]

MARIAN: And that Shadow Ball's neutralized!

MARIAN: Plus, the Bubble Beam's got Glaceon trapped!

DAWN: Piplup, use Peck!

PIPLUP: [PECK MOVE]

MAY: Dodge it, then use Ice Shard!

PIPLUP: [SURPRISED]

GLACEON: [ICE SHARD MOVE]

DAWN: Whirlpool!

PIPLUP: [WHIRLPOOL MOVE]

MARIAN: Wow, Piplup's using Whirlpool

as a perfect defense against that Ice Shard!

MARIAN: We've got equal points by both Coordinators.

MARIAN: and with just one minute left on the clock!

DAWN: Ride the Whirlpool, now!

PIPLUP: [EFFORT]

MARIAN: And the sight of Piplup fearlessly riding

that Whirlpool has left the audience simply breathless!

ASH: That's it, show them, May and Dawn!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED] MAY: Shadow Ball!

GLACEON: [SHADOW BALL MOVE]

DAWN: Dodge it!

PIPLUP: [EFFORT]

DAWN: Bubble Beam!

PIPLUP: [BUBBLEBEAM MOVE]

MARIAN: After hiding out in that Whirlpool,

Piplup emerges with a power-packed Bubble Beam!

MAY: Now, Glaceon. Shadow Ball!

GLACEON: [SHADOW BALL MOVE]

DAWN: Piplup, use Peck!

PIPLUP: [PECK MOVE]

MAY: Glaceon, Ice Shard!

GLACEON: [ICE SHARD MOVE]

PIPLUP: [PAINED]

MARIAN: And May answers back with a terrific Ice Shard!

DAWN: Great, May, nice work!

MAY: Back at you, Dawn!

DAWN: Tiny little att*cks aren't going to work against May.

so in that case.

MAY: There isn't much time left.

I know Dawn's coming in with a big att*ck!

DAWN: Let's decide it now! Piplup! Whirlpool, go!

PIPLUP: [WHIRLPOOL MOVE]

MAY: Aha! Use Mirror Coat!

GLACEON: [MIRROR COAT MOVE]

PIPLUP: [SHOCKED] PIPLUP, GLACEON: [PAINED]

MARIAN: That's it! Time's up!

PIPLUP, GLACEON: [SHOCKED]

BROCK, ASH, ZOEY, BUIZEL, PIKACHU, PACHIRISU: [ANXIOUS]

MARIAN: That was a perfect final stage!

MARIAN: A tough-as-nails battle!

MARIAN: Heated and beautiful as well!

MARIAN: You all know winner takes all.

MARIAN: So, without further ado,

the winning Coordinator of the Wallace Cup is.

Dawn, with her Piplup!

DAWN, PIPLUP: [AWESTRUCK]

MAY, GLACEON: [SURPRISED] / [DISAPPOINTED]

ASH: Wow, Dawn did it! She actually b*at May!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

BROCK: That was a great battle by both of them!

ZOEY: And they really made their Pokémon shine!

MAY: Now, Glaceon, don't feel bad!

You were completely wonderful!

GLACEON: [GRATEFUL]

MAY: Hey, Dawn, congratulations.

DAWN: We. we won. we. won!

PIPLUP: [THRILLED]

DAWN: Thank you, Piplup! We won because of you!

CONTESTA: That was a battle that truly brought out

the inner beauty of both Coordinators' Pokémon!

SUKIZO: Yes. It was remarkable!

JOY: Both Piplup and Glaceon were in perfect unison

with their Coordinators!

I wouldn't have been surprised, no matter which team won!

JOHANNA: Dawn, congratulations!

GLAMEOW: [DELIGHTED]

MARIAN: And now! It's time for Wallace to say a few words

to our big winner, Dawn!

WALLACE: That was wonderful!

You displayed true elegance out there!

A lovely end to a lovely contest. Thank you.

WALLACE: Dawn, you are truly

a Coordinator of the highest order!

BROCK: Wow, all right! Way to go, Dawn!

ASH: Look at her! She's back on her feet!

DAWN: All right, now there's really no need to worry!

Because the Aqua Ribbon's all mine!

PIPLUP, BUNEARY, PACHIRISU, AMBIPOM: [CHEERING]

WALLACE: I am truly happy to have met such a wonderful group

of Pokémon and made so many new friends!

WALLACE: My wish now is that someday

in the very near future,

we will meet here again for another exciting event.

WALLACE: The next Wallace Cup!

MILOTIC: [SINGING]

JESSIE: Look out!

MEOWTH: Man, that girl's burning up!

JAMES: Ambition or. illness?

JESSIE: Next time it's me on the center stage!

JESSIE: I'll get new Pokémon

and win another ribbon to keep mine company!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

DAWN: You know, I'd forgotten what it feels like.

That wonderful feeling of actually being in a contest

final and becoming truly one with my Pokémon.

MAY: Well, you'd better hold on to it, Dawn!

Because next time we meet, I'm winning for sure!

ZOEY: Now, come on, May, you know that's my line!

MAY: Zoey, good luck with all your upcoming contests!

ZOEY: Thanks! You, too, May.

MAY: Thank you!

BROCK: Don't forget. You can dine all over the world,

but you won't get my cooking!

MAY: Oh, now, Brock!

It was awesome having your cooking again after so long!

ASH: Hey, May? Good luck with the rest of your Johto contests!

PIKACHU: [AGREEMENT]
