Post by bunniefuu »

NARRATOR: The Pokémon Contest to end all Pokémon Contests,

the Grand Festival is finally underway!

Excitement and hopes for a big win are running high,

and rivals Zoey, Nando, Ursula, Jessilina and Dawn

have all made it through round one,

the Performance Stage.

However, in a surprise upset, Kenny failed to make the cut!

And so, as our Heroes and their friends eye round two,

the Battle Stage, Kenny leaves them,

and the Grand Festival, behind...

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!

DAWN: Mamoswine, use Ice Shard! Cyndaquil, use Flame Wheel!

MAMOSWINE: [ICE SHARD MOVE]

CYNDAQUIL: [FLAME WHEEL MOVE]

MAMOSWINE: [ICE SHARD MOVE]

CYNDAQUIL: [EXERTION]

DAWN: Piplup, use Bubble Beam!

All right Togekiss, use Safeguard now!

PIPLUP: [BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

TOGEKISS: [SAFEGUARD MOVE]

DAWN: Pachirisu, use Super Fang! Buneary, use Bounce!

PACHIRISU: [SUPER FANG MOVE]

BUNEARY: [BOUNCE MOVE]

DAWN: Quick, Pachirisu, dodge it!

PACHIRISU: [EXERTION]

BROCK: All their moves are looking great!

Can't wait to see round two!

PIKACHU: [AGREEMENT]

ASH: Dawn won't train more than me! Hey, Gible!

Want to do a little work?

GIBLE: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: Gible, use Draco Meteor!

GIBLE: [DRACO METEOR MOVE]

ASH: Awesome! Two Draco Meteors!

GIBLE: [PLEASED]

ASH, PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

PIPLUP: [PANICKED]

TOGEKISS: [CONCERNED] / [EXERTION]

ASH, PIKACHU, GIBLE: [PANICKED]

ASH, PIKACHU, GIBLE: [DAZED]

ZOEY: Good grief! Kind of early for this much noise!

- DAWN: Zoey! - ASH: Hey, Nando!

ZOEY: Your performance yesterday was so good!

You guys must've trained a lot!

DAWN: We did! After all- I plan on winning, you know!

ZOEY: Tell me how you really feel!

But don't let your guard down just yet.

Round one may be over, but there's more to come...

DAWN: Zoey, I know that! No need to worry!

PIPLUP: [CONFIDENT]

NANDO: A Pokémon's potential is limitless.

So during your Contest Battle today,

I'll be expecting nothing less than a brilliant performance

from all of you that will inspire everyone!

DAWN: Thanks!

BROCK: Thirty-two Coordinators may have passed round one,

but in order to win the Grand Festival,

one of them needs to win five more times! Just think of it!

Dawn could be matched up against Zoey, or even Nando!

ASH: Yeah! PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

ZOEY: Can't wait! You up for that?

DAWN: That's why I'm working so hard!

Don't want to have a need to worry later!

MEOWTH: Sweet! The Grand Festival's better than

an all-you-can-eat diner!

Three squares a day, every day! It's the Grand Festival way!

WOBBUFFET: [EXCITED]

JAMES: We'll be cheering for you with bellies full of food!

So make it good!

JESSILINA [JESSIE]: I don't need any stinking cheering!

WOBBUFFET: [SURPRISED]

JESSILINA [JESSIE]: I couldn't lose now if you paid me!

But make sure you don't give up your day job...

JAMES: Day job? Retail?

JESSILINA [JESSIE]: Sell like there's no tomorrow!

JESSILINA [JESSIE]: Victory is Jessilina's middle name!

And the absolutely winningest,

top-of-the-charts Coordinator is Jessilina's game!

ASH: Pachirisu and Mamoswine?

DAWN: Yup! I decided to use them both awhile ago!

Together they'll be great!

BROCK: Makes sense! Their Ice and Electric Combination moves

should work well in a Contest Battle!

DAWN: And since we trained a whole bunch,

we're all in perfect synch!

ASH: Wow, I can't wait to see that!

We'll be cheering you on! Right?

PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE] PIPLUP: [AFFIRMATIVE]

URSULA: My, my...

URSULA: What do you know! If it isn't sweet little Dawn!

DAWN: Ursula...

URSULA: I had the less-than-great pleasure

of seeing your performance yesterday!

As usual, sheer dumb luck appears to have gotten

you past the Performance Stage,

and I hate to burst your bubble...

but you're hardly capable of winning this!

DAWN: What'd you say?

URSULA: However... I do hope you make it to the final round!

That way, when I b*at you,

you'll make me look all that much better! Agreed?

DAWN: No I do not...

ASH: 'Cause it's Dawn's who's going to win!

PIPLUP: [AGREEMENT] PIKACHU: [AGREEMENT]

URSULA: I think not!

The only Coordinator who's going to deliver a beautiful,

flawless and elegant performance is I!

You can spell "I", can't you?

DAWN: Be quiet! I'm winning this!

MARIAN: Yesterday, it was round one.

Today, it's round two.

And the journey and judging continue!

Ladies and Gentlemen!

Round two is soon to get underway

at the Pokémon Contest Grand Festival!

MARIAN: And now it's time to reveal

the very first match-ups of Round Two!

So, please direct your attention toward the big screen!

The first round of Contest Battles will be

separated into four blocks...

A, B, C, and D!

MARIAN: And the two Contestants who will be battling it out

in Block A are...

ASH: They've been matched up again...

PIKACHU: [DETERMINED]

BROCK: Her double evolution in the Performance Round

was really impressive! Ursula's going to be tough...

PIPLUP: [CONFIDENT]

JAMES: Step right up and gawk at all the grand goodies!

Have we got Lakeside Resort postcards,

Grand Festival pennants, limited edition key chains,

and glossy photos, you're asking?

Why we've got the complete collection of Coordinators

and you can only cop them all here!

CUSTOMER A [GUY]: I'll buy a postcard and a pennant!

CUSTOMER B [WOMAN]: I'll take three- no, five key chains!

CUSTOMER C [GUY]: Uh, I'd like a photo of Nando...

MEOWTH: Postcards coming right up!

Key chains coming right up! Pictures coming right up!

And up and up and up and up!

JAMES: We owe the Grand Festival a debt of gratitude

for allowing us to gross a gob of green!

MEOWTH: I love going green!

JAMES, MEOWTH: A magnificent money-making scene!

WOBBUFFET: [AGREEMENT]

MARIAN: So, get ready for the

much-anticipated Contest Battles!

Allow these Pokémon to dazzle and delight,

as they face each other in Double Battles!

Our contestants in Block A will be:

On my left, Dawn, and on my right, Ursula!

ASH: Go for it, Dawn! Show them all who's the winner!

PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [CHEERING]

MARIAN: Five minutes on the clock! Begin!

DAWN: Pachirisu, Mamoswine! Spot light!

PACHIRISU: [APPEARING]

MAMOSWINE: [APPEARING]

URSULA: Gabite and Flareon...go!

GABITE: [APPEARING]

FANTINA: Ooh la la! I have been waiting for this! Très exciting!

NURSE JOY: Fantina, contain yourself, please!

NANDO: Wow, Pachirisu and Mamoswine...

Gabite and Flareon...

ZOEY: I can't wait to see this battle! It'll be great!

JESSILINA [JESSIE]: If you're into crashing bores

then it'll be great.

My victory's a foregone conclusion.

They should stop wasting my time and give me what's mine!

DAWN: Pachirisu! Use Discharge!

PACHIRISU: [DISCHARGE MOVE]

URSULA: Gabite! Block that move, now!

GABITE: [EXERTION]

ASH: Whoa, what a block!

BROCK: Gabite is a Ground-type so Discharge has no effect!

DAWN: I thought that's what you'd do!

Mamoswine, att*ck Gabite with Take Down!

MAMOSWINE: [TAKE DOWN MOVE]

GABITE: [PAINED]

FLAREON: [PAINED]

URSULA: No way!

MARIAN: Engulfed by Pachirisu's Discharge,

Mamoswine executes a brilliant att*ck,

and Dawn scores first!

FANTINA: Oh! C'est magnifique!

ASH: Do it, Pachirisu and Mamoswine!

PIKACHU: [CHEERING] PIPLUP: [CHEERING]

GABITE, FLAREON: [DETERMINED]

URSULA: That was a smart move...

but she won't stay that smart for much longer! Gabite!

Use Sandstorm!

GABITE: [SANDSTORM MOVE]

MAMOSWINE: [STRUGGLING]

PACHIRISU: [STRUGGLING] FLAREON: [EXERTION]

DAWN: Mamoswine! Use Ancient Power to destroy that Sandstorm!

MAMOSWINE: [ANCIENT POWER MOVE]

URSULA: You can't do that! Flareon, Scary Face!

FLAREON: [SCARY FACE MOVE]

MAMOSWINE: [STARTLED]

FLAREON: [SCARY FACE MOVE]

MAMOSWINE: [SCARED]

GABITE: [EXERTION]

FLAREON: [EXERTION]

MARIAN: And an even scarier looking Scary Face,

using Gabite's Sandstorm!

Ursula's maximized Flareon's move!

BROCK: Dawn's battling really well,

but the momentum's trending towards Ursula...

ASH: No need to worry! They're just getting started!

PIKACHU: [CHEERING]

PIPLUP: [CHEERING]

DAWN: Mamoswine! Pachirisu! Snap out of it!

MAMOSWINE: [STRUGGLING] PACHIRISU: [STRUGGLING]

DAWN: That's it! You ready?

MAMOSWINE, PACHIRISU: [DETERMINED]

DAWN: Pachirisu, use Super Fang on Flareon!

Mamoswine, use Ice Shard on Gabite!

PACHIRISU: [SUPER FANG MOVE]

MAMOSWINE: [ICE SHARD MOVE]

URSULA: Gabite, now! Use Double Team!

GABITE: [DOUBLE TEAM MOVE]

MAMOSWINE: [CONFUSED]

PACHIRISU: [SURPRISED]

URSULA: Now, Flareon, use Shadow Ball!

FLAREON: [SHADOW BALL MOVE]

PACHIRISU: [SURPRISED] / [PAINED]

MAMOSWINE: [PAINED]

FANTINA: Dear me!

MAMOSWINE, PACHIRISU: [STRUGGLING]

DAWN: Mamoswine! Pachirisu!

PIPLUP: [WORRIED] PIKACHU: [WORRIED]

DAWN: Get up, the both of you! I know you can do it!

MAMOSWINE: [DETERMINED] PACHIRISU: [DETERMINED]

MAMOSWINE: [DETERMINED]

URSULA: That's right, keep on trying!

It's very important that you try,

try again and then lose miserably!

It's your job to make me look great!

GABITE : [THREATENING]

URSULA: Flareon, use Shadow Ball, rapid fire!

FLAREON: [SHADOW BALL MOVE]

PACHIRISU: [EXERTION]

MAMOSWINE: [DETERMINED]

DAWN: Pachirisu, Mamoswine!

BROCK: Dawn can't get a move in!

The judges aren't able to evaluate her skills!

PIPLUP: [UPSET]

ASH: Hey Dawn, hang in there!

Wait for your chance! That's all you can do!

PIKACHU: [ENCOURAGING] PACHIRISU: [PAINED]

MAMOSWINE: [PAINED]

URSULA: Well, I guess this is it Dawn...

URSULA: The battle's mine! Get used to it!

DAWN: They stopped attacking! Now's our chance!

DAWN: Mamoswine! Quick, Ice Shard!

MAMOSWINE: [ICE SHARD MOVE]

DAWN: Now shatter the ice with your tusks!

Pachirisu, run!

PACHIRISU: [STRUGGLING] / [EXERTION]

DAWN: Get up, Pachirisu! Mamoswine, use Ice Shard again!

PACHIRISU: [STRUGGLING]

MAMOSWINE: [ICE SHARD MOVE]

JAMES: Sweet success!

We've nothing left but an empty counter!

And money's much easier to carry than product!

WOBBUFFET: [AGREEMENT]

MEOWTH: What about this card?

For some reason it didn't sell...

JAMES, MEOWTH, WOBBUFFET: [SHEEPISH] / [SURPRISED]

MARIAN: Well, we're at the two minute warning!

And Dawn can't seem to get out

from under Ursula's constant onslaught of att*cks!

MEOWTH: A troubled Twerpette...

That twirly-haired Twerpette's rocking the house!

JAMES: I hope Jessie's taking care of her house.

We'd better go lend her support in case she winds up short!

MEOWTH: Yeah, good idea. Since we're loaded with dough,

let's go dig the show!

WOBUFFET: [EXCITED]

URSULA: You're wasting your time!

Flareon, use Fire Spin!

FLAREON: [FIRE SPIN MOVE]

MAMOSWINE: [SHOCKED]

NURSE JOY: My! Gorgeous!

FANTINA: C'est très magnifique!

Such artistry! C'est très bien!

BROCK: Thing is, if Dawn can't use any moves,

she can't get any points!

ASH: Don't sweat it, Brock!

I'm sure Dawn'll figure something out!

PIKACHU: [CHEERING] PIPLUP: [CHEERING]

MAMOSWINE, PACHIRISU: [PANTING]

URSULA: Thank you all very much

for making my Fire Spin even more beautiful!

Making me look better is what this is all about. Right, Dawn?

DAWN: Mamoswine, use Ice Shard again!

Pachirisu, out in front!

MAMOSWINE: [ICE SHARD MOVE] PACHIRISU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

URSULA: Guess you'll never learn!

Gabite, use Dragon Claw! Flareon, use Fire Spin!

GABITE, FLAREON: [EXERTION]

DAWN: Pachirisu, jump and dodge them, then Spark!

PACHIRISU: [SPARK MOVE]

GABITE: [DRAGON CLAW MOVE]

FAREON: [PAINED]

DAWN: Now, Mamoswine!

MAMOSWINE: [ICE SHARD MOVE]

URSULA: What in the world is that?

DAWN: Pachirisu...use Discharge!

PACHIRISU: [DISCHARGE MOVE]

DAWN: It works! Ice Chandelier is a success!

MARIAN: An amazing combination from Pachirisu and Mamoswine!

It's sparkling beautifully!

PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

ASH: Of course! That's Dawn's brand new move!

PACHIRISU: [SPARK MOVE]

DAWN: All that training with Buneary was so worth it!

Now, Pachirisu! Let's go!

URSULA: Flareon, Shadow Ball, let's go!

GABITE, FLAREON: [DETERMINED]

FLAREON: [SHADOW BALL MOVE]

MAMOSWINE: [SURPRISED] / [PAINED]

DAWN: Mamoswine!

MARIAN: Less than one minute left!

PACHIRISU: [PAINED]

MAMOSWINE: [PAINED]

MAMOSWINE, PACHIRISU: [PAINED]

ASH: Keep it up, Dawn! It's not over until it's over!

PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [FRANTIC]

DAWN: Pachirisu! Mamoswine! Stay strong!

MAMOSWINE, PACHIRISU: [STRUGGLING]

DAWN: Blocked our att*cks again! Now what?

URSULA: I'm bored! Gabite, Dragon Claw!

GABITE: [DRAGON CLAW MOVE]

DAWN: I've got to do something!

Of course!

Pachirisu, quick!

Jump down into that hole!

DAWN: Pachirisu, Discharge!

PACHIRISU: [DISCHARGE MOVE]

URSULA: Now what?

DAWN: It's called determination!

All right Mamoswine, Ancient Power!

Down on the ground!

MAMOSWINE: [ANCIENT POWER MOVE]

PACHIRISU: [DETERMINED]

BROCK: What a great idea!

They've still got a chance to win!

ASH: You can pull this thing right out of the hat!

Show them how it's done, you three!

PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [CHEERING]

PACHIRISU: [EXERTION]

GABITE, FLAREON: [SURPRISED] / [PAINED]

PACHIRISU: [EXERTION]

URSULA: Gabite, use Sandstorm, now!

Flareon, use Fire Spin!

GABITE, FLAREON: [AFFIRMATIVE]

DAWN: Mamoswine, use Hidden Power on Pachirisu!

MAMOSWINE: [HIDDEN POWER MOVE]

PACHIRISU: [EXERTION]

PACHIRISU: [DETERMINED]

DAWN: Mamoswine, use Hidden Power!

Pachirisu, Discharge!

MAMOSWINE: [HIDDEN POWER MOVE] PACHIRISU: [DISCHARGE MOVE]

URSULA: Sorry, too late! Now, Gabite and Flareon, dodge!

MAMOSWINE, PACHIRISU: [SURPRISED]

GABITE, FLAREON: [STUNNED]

MARIAN: Gabite and Flareon are unable to battle!

And the winner of the second round is...

Dawn!

MR. CONTESTA: An Ice Chandelier, from Ice and Electricity!

A surprising round! And a brilliant idea!

MR. SUKIZO: Brilliant ... and remarkable!

NURSE JOY: Who would have thought the first Battle

would be so exciting? I couldn't be happier!

FANTINA: It was fantastique and incroyable!

If my excitement could be measured in raindrops,

we would be in the midst of a flood!

DAWN: Yeah!

ASH: Alright!

BROCK: You did it, Dawn!

NANDO: To be able to use her opponent's Dig

the way Dawn did...

Who would've ever thought?

A most interesting and thought-provoking battle!

ZOEY: A rough start, but an awesome win for Dawn!

And now, this battle is behind her!

JESSILINA [JESSIE]: Okay ... do I freak out now?

Or later? After all, it's just my life on the line,

Twerpette or not...

So! Am I up yet? Are we having fun yet?

MARIAN: And now! Time to move on to the second battle!

So please-

give a big hand to our next two Coordinators!

URSULA: But how? I lost?

And after all my brilliance?

DAWN: I agree...

I didn't think I could win either until the very end.

Ursula, you were awesome!

URSULA: Right. I was awesome!

URSULA: Your victory today was dumb luck and we know it!

Now we'll just see how far that dumb luck of yours

will take you! See you later, Dee Dee...

MARIAN: Not to be outdone by Block A, Blocks B, C and D

are putting on equally impressive and elegant battles,

as the Coordinators dwindle down

to the final sixteen Contestants!

JAMES: Wow, Jessie jazzed them again!

MEOWTH: I like to think of our cheerleading

as an investment in our health!

WOBBUFFET: [AGREEMENT]

JESSILINA [JESSIE]: Now didn't I tell you?

I don't need a peanut gallery to win!

JAMES: Come on... it couldn't hurt!

We moved the merchandise and made money!

JESSILINA [JESSIE]: Really? Then what about the sack?

MEOWTH: These? They're nothing!

For some reason these cards ended up collecting dustballs...

WOBBUFFET: [NERVOUS]

JESSILINA [JESSIE]: Me?

JAMES, MEOWTH, WOBBUFFET: [SCARED]

JESSILINA [JESSIE]: I'll fix this in no time!

Glamour trading cards signed by Jessilina herself!

They'll move so fast you'll get windburn!

Number one in Contests and card sales!

JAMES, MEOWTH, WOBBUFFET: [WORRIED]

ASH: That was a great battle, Dawn!

PIPLUP: [IMPRESSED]

BROCK: And now Zoey and Nando have won too-

so think what's in store!

DAWN: Yeah!

BROCK: All the best, Dawn!

ASH: Yeah, good luck, Dawn!

DAWN: Thanks! No need to worry!

NARRATOR: After a brilliant eleventh hour victory

against Ursula,

Dawn is moving onto the second Contest Battle round!

Of course, being in such talented company,

one never knows who will claim victory!

But the way to find out is to stay tuned!
