NARRATOR: As the Battle Stage of the Pokémon Contest Grand
Festival got underway, Dawn's opponent in the first round was
none other than Ursula! But battling with her Pachirisu and
Mamoswine, Dawn was able to emerge victorious, thanks in
part to her brand new Ice Chandelier Combination!
NARRATOR: Also victorious on the Battle Stage were rivals
Zoey.the Pokémon Minstrel Nando...and Jessilina, all
advancing smoothly during the proceedings. And so, as the
action builds, it begs the question: which one of these
four semi - finalists will win the prestigious title of Top
Coordinator?
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: And that does it! The winner of the fourth battle of
the third round is none other than... Jessilina!
JESSIE: Thank you! Kiss, kiss!
Love, love! Me, me! Yes![EXCITED]
JAMES: Mime Jr. and Carnivine are a league unto their own...
I'm swelling with pride!
WOBBUFFET: [PROUD]
MEOWTH: The crowd's swollen too!
MEOWTH: And we're swollen with moolah now that we sold all
those Jessilina cards. She's a hot commodity!
WOBBUFFET: [AGREEMENT]
FANTINA: Carnivine and Mime Jr.
were both magnifique! Très adorable!
JESSIE: And since they were so adorable, the final round will
be such a waste of time! So why don't you just save us all that
time and declare me Top Coordinator?
FANTINA: Impossible! You'll just have to win this
one all by yourself!
JESSIE: You big meanie...
DAWN: That Jessilina...
MARIAN: And now this marks the completion of all our
quarterfinal battles! Also, that means all of the Coordinators
that will compete in tomorrow's semi-finals have been decided!
MARIAN: First, the man who defeated his opponents in the
second and third rounds using music as a theme - the Pokémon
minstrel, Nando!
MARIAN: Next, showing off her Pokémon to the max while
executing her impressive battles flawlessly, it's Zoey!
MARIAN: Then, it's Dawn, working in perfect synch with
her cute Pokémon. Will she be able live up to the reputation
of her mother and Top Coordinator, Johanna?
MARIAN: And finally, the beautiful and athletic
Coordinator who is truly unique and far beyond imitation,
Jessilina!
MARIAN: These four will be competing against each other to
see who will advance to the final round, and it's
going to be great!
MARIAN: And so, join us again tomorrow for all the action!
JOHANNA: Call me crazy but I seem more excited than they do!
GLAMEOW: [EXCITED]
ASH: What're you doing out here, Dawn? Dreaming again?
PIPLUP: [CURIOUS]
DAWN: The truth is I can hardly believe that tomorrow's the
semi-finals! And that there are only four of us out of over a
hundred Coordinators! You know?
DAWN: It really feels like a dream...
BROCK: But it's reality!
BROCK: So you're going to have to make sure that you're one of
the two tomorrow that makes it out of those four!
ASH: And after that, you win the whole thing!
PIKACHU: [AGREEMENT]
DAWN: Yeah, no need to worry! I know I can pull this off!
What do you say, Piplup?
PIPLUP: [AFFIRMATIVE]
DAWN: [SURPRISED]
PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]
SWABLU: [DELIGHTED]
DAWN: Wow, amazing!
BROCK: They've all been attracted here by Nando's
beautiful music!
NANDO: Good evening, my friends!
ASH: Good evening!
PIKACHU: [GREETING] PIPLUP: [GREETING]
DAWN: Such beautiful and relaxing music!
NANDO: Having made it this far in the competition has been a
complete surprise to me! Luckily I have my music to
soothe the day's cares...
ZOEY: What a relief!
ZOEY: And here I thought I was the only one who
couldn't get to sleep!
DAWN: Hi, Zoey!
ZOEY: Hey, Nando - here's to a great show tomorrow!
NANDO: Thanks!
ZOEY: And the same goes for you, Dawn!
BROCK: You know, I can't help but wonder what Dawn's opponent
is doing right about now...
JESSIE: This is all genuine Jessilina memorabilia?
JAMES: Of course! Who wouldn't want a piece of Jessilina
superstar, tip - Top Coordinator?
MEOWTH: Those cards with your mug on them blew the lid right
off of this joint, and this stuff's going to put
us in serious moolah orbit!
JESSIE: Top Coordinator...I like it!
JESSIE: Stardom!
JESSIE: In demand!
JESSIE: The first fashionista in the land!
JESSIE: A legend in my own mind - and perfectly timed!
JESSIE: Final Stage - make me your latest rage!
JAMES: I can see a brilliant future forming in our midst!
MEOWTH: Two more battles and the big Coordinator buck stops here!
WOBBUFFET: [EXCITED]
MARIAN: The morning finds a stadium filled with a
flurry of fans!
MARIAN: Welcome to the event where dreams can either be made
or dashed, the exciting Grand Festival semi-finals!
FANTINA: Bon matin! Now, to all the many Coordinators, amazing
Pokémon and loyal fans alike...
FANTINA: Let's cheer! Excitement is here!
FANTINA: Merci! Merci!
MARIAN: Here in the semi-finals, Coordinators will compete in
two-on-two Double Battles! And the object is to be able to
strip away points from their opponents with beautiful moves
within five minutes!
MARIAN: So now it's time for the first battle of the day!
MARIAN: On my left, it's Zoey!
MARIAN: And on my right, it's Nando!
MARIAN: We will soon learn which one of them will be advancing on
to the Final Stage!
MARIAN: Five minutes on the clock! And begin!
ZOEY: Mismagius! Leafeon! Once again it's curtain, go!
LEAFEON: [APPEARING]
ASH: Wow, so Zoey's Misdreavus evolved...
BROCK: I'll bet you Nando's going to go with either a Bug -
type or a Grass - type...
DAWN: Yeah, and I'll bet you they'll be Pokémon that can use
the move "Sing", you know?
PIPLUP: [AGREEMENT]
NANDO: Kricketune and Lopunny, please! I need your help!
KRICKETUNE: [APPEARING]
DAWN: Lopunny?
BROCK: Lopunny's not a Bug - type or a Grass - type, and it
can't use "Sing" either!
ZOEY: Leafeon, use Energy Ball! And Mismagius, Thunder Wave!
LEAFEON: [ENERGY BALL MOVE]
MISMAGIUS: [THUNDER WAVE MOVE]
MARIAN: And there's a quick Fusion Move!
MARIAN: The Energy Ball has fused with the Thunder Wave!
ASH: That's awesome!
PIKACHU: [AMAZED]
BROCK: Even the movements before
they launched that move looked impressive!
DAWN: Leafeon and Mismagius are gorgeous...
PIPLUP: [AGREEMENT]
FANTINA: Très jolie! And if that move hits its mark,
it means beaucoup de points!
NANDO: All right Lopunny, use Jump Kick and Kricketune
use Bug Buzz!
LOPUNNY: [JUMP KICK MOVE]
MARIAN: And the Fusion Move is kicked in the air!
ASH: Oh man! The way he used Zoey's Energy Ball against her!
BROCK: Really! Amazing power and control all around!
KRICKETUNE: [BUG BUZZ MOVE]
LEAFEON: [STRUGGLING]
MARIAN: Lopunny is using the streamers created by the Bug
Buzz like beautiful scarves to wrap around itself - and the
fans are in complete awe!
JESSIE: Dancing? That's novel...
MARIAN: And Nando scores some serious points with
Lopunny's stunning dance!
ZOEY: Incredible...What a fantastic way of
showing off Lopunny...
MARIAN: Nando is treating the fans to a performance that's a
real feast for all the senses!
BROCK: Lopunny are well - known for having amazing spring - like
jumping abilities!
BROCK: Nando's idea to match that ability with Kricketune's
music to make Lopuuny look like a ballerina makes for a
magical performance!
ASH: A gifted dancer and a gifted musician...check it out!
DAWN: Another Nando masterpiece...
MARIAN: Look out - The Thunder Energy Ball
is roaring straight down!
KRICKETUNE: [EXERTION]
MARIAN: The now - exploded Energy Ball is making Lopunny
sparkle with beautiful colors!
FANTINA: Magnifique!
ASH: Nando even made use of Zoey's fusion move...
DAWN: I've never seen Zoey under pressure like this...
PIPLUP: [WORRIED]
PIKACHU: [WORRIED]
ZOEY: Nando's sure tough. He's using his Gym battle experience
while he shows off all those beautiful moves! But I've got a
few beautiful moves of my own to show off! Mismagius, Leafeon!
Double Team go!
MISMAGIUS: [DOUBLE TEAM MOVE]
MARIAN: It's a double Double Team! And they've arranged
themselves one after another with precision!
NANDO: Oh my! Such contrast is... stunning...
LOPUNNY: [WORRIED]
BROCK: Zoey's using her Pokémon in perfect synch, while really
highlighting the fact that it's a Double Battle!
ASH: But so far, Nando's calling the sh*ts...
DAWN: Which's how it will end if this keeps up!
NANDO: All right, Lopunny, Blizzard!
LOPUNNY: [BLIZZARD MOVE]
ZOEY: Okay, here it comes, right?
MARIAN: Lopunny is eliminating the doubles with Blizzard!
MARIAN: But Zoey's using the light from the disappearing
doubles to cause her actual Pokémon to glow!
CONTESTA: Spectacular!
FANTINA: Such a thrill is très belle!
DAWN: Gorgeous!
ASH: I'll tell you, both Nando and Zoey are incredible!
PIKACHU: [EXCITED]
DAWN: Double Team was just a trick to lure Nando into doing
what Zoey wanted!
BROCK: Zoey knew that disappearing doubles give off
light, and she then wisely used it to her own advantage. Wow!
NANDO: Kricketune! Use Sing!
KRICKETUNE: [SING MOVE]
MARIAN: There it is! Nando's greatest move, "Sing"!
ZOEY: I knew Nando was going to use "Sing". Mismagius!
Use Lucky Chant!
MISMAGIUS: [LUCKY CHANT MOVE]
DAWN: What's Lucky Chant?
BROCK: Lucky Chant is a move that prevents your opponent from
landing any critical hits for a limited amount of time.
But I wonder how that's going to help against "Sing"?
MISMAGIUS: [LUCKY CHANT MOVE]
MISMAGIUS: [LUCKY CHANT MOVE]
- NANDO: What's that? -ZOEY: I'll tell you!
Back in the quarterfinals when I learned
we'd be battling, I knew who I was going to use - my Mismagius!
ZOEY: Because I also knew using Mismagius' Lucky Chant would
counter your move "Sing"!
LOPUNNY: [SHOCKED]
MARIAN: This battle is like no other! It's singing battling
chanting - so unique!
DAWN: I think Zoey's starting to turn it around!
BROCK: So she trained to use Lucky Chant specifically against
Nando's best att*ck!
ASH: What great strategy!
PIKACHU: [AGREEMENT]
FANTINA: How exciting! Lucky Chant defeats Sing! Incroyable!
NANDO: Clever. Zoey has once again used my strategy
against me.
ZOEY: Time to liven things up! Leafeon! Leaf Blade!
LEAFEON: [LEAF BLADE MOVE]
NANDO: Quick, Lopunny! Use Focus Blast!
LOPUNNY: [FOCUS BLAST MOVE]
LEAFEON: [EXERTION]
LOPUNNY: [PAINED][EXERTION]
MARIAN: And it's a huge hit! Leafeon uses its body to make a
double Leaf Blade!
NANDO: Kricketune, use X-Scissor against Leafeon!
ZOEY: Mismagius, use Psywave against Kricketune, go!
KRICKETUNE: [X-SCISSOR MOVE]
MISMAGIUS: [PSYWAVE MOVE]
NANDO: Lopunny, help out!
LOPUNNY: [EXERTION]
LOPUNNY: [EXERTION]
LOPUNNY: [EXERTION] KRICKETUNE: [PAINED]
ZOEY: Use Leaf Blade again!
You've got to take on that X-Scissor!
LEAFEON: [LEAF BLADE MOVE] [X-SCISSOR MOVE]
MARIAN: Neither side is giving an inch! And the crowd is
mesmerized, as they watch this action - packed duel!
LEAFEON: [EXERTION]
JESSIE: [SHOCKED]
DAWN: Man do I wish this battle could go on forever!
BROCK: [SURPRISED] ASH: Forever?
MISMAGIUS: [ATTACKING]
DAWN: The att*cks, the defense...
DAWN: ...and the elegance of it all! I could never do what
they're doing!
DAWN: It's the way they control their own Pokémon while using
their opponent's Pokémon's moves to their advantage!
LEAFEON: [ATTACKING]
DAWN: They're both excellent! Either one of them could make it
to the finals!
MARIAN: We're at the thirty-second mark!
DAWN: It's beautiful - and to see moves like this in a Contest
battle is amazing, really!
NANDO: Kricketune, Silver Wind and Lopunny...use Blizzard!
KRICKETUNE: [SILVER WIND MOVE]
LOPUNNY: [BLIZZARD MOVE]
MARIAN: And now it's collaboration between Silver
Wind and Blizzard!
MARIAN: As the stage is illuminated with a gorgeous
light, Kricketune and Lopunny look absolutely awe - inspiring!
ZOEY: My turn, now! Leafeon, Aerial Ace! And Mismagius,
use Psywave!
LEAFEON: [AERIAL ACE MOVE]
MISMAGIUS: [PSYWAVE MOVE]
LEAFEON: [EXERTION]
LEAFEON: [EXERTION]
NANDO: Oh my!
MARIAN: And Mismagius' Psywave gives Leafeon beautiful
Wings of Light!
FANTINA: Oh my, my, my! I've never seen such a sight!
BROCK: She's using psychic powers to the max! Mismagius'
power and Leafeon's beauty - in perfect balance together...
BROCK: It's the ultimate fusion move!
LEAFEON: [PLEASED]
LEAFEON: [EXERTION]
NANDO: What incredible beauty!
NANDO: Lopunny, Intercept it!
LOPUNNY: [INTERCEPT MOVE]
ZOEY: All right, Mismagius, use Thunder Wave!
MISMAGIUS: [THUNDER WAVE MOVE]
LOPUNNY: [INTERCEPT MOVE]
MISMAGIUS: [EXERTION]
NANDO: Kricketune, use X-Scissor!
KRICKETUNE: [X-SCISSOR MOVE]
LEAFEON: [EXERTION]
KRICKETUNE: [EXERTION]
LEAFEON: [EXERTION]
LOPUNNY: [EXERTION]
KRICKETUNE: [EXERTION]
MARIAN: Time's up! And the winner of this amazing
semi-final battle is...
MARIAN: It's Zoey!
MARIAN: So Zoey will be advancing to the Final Stage!
ZOEY: Thanks to the both of you! You were great!
