As {{an|Dawn}} and [[Zoey]]'s impending [[Contest Battle]] in the finals of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] is about to begin, [[Marian]] makes her announcement, and Dawn sends out {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Togekiss}}, while Zoey sends out {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} and {{p|Gallade}}, the evolved from her {{p|Kirlia}}. {{Ash}} checks Gallade out on his [[Pokédex]] just as [[Johanna]] unexpectedly arrives to cheer on her daughter. Ash and {{an|Brock}} are surprised by her sudden appearance, but quickly make room for her. Dawn tells Piplup and Togekiss to do their best, as they are going against Zoey. | |||
Dawn starts out with having Piplup jump on Togekiss's back, then ordering Togekiss to fly up and use {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Piplup surrounds the Aura Sphere with {{m|Bubble Beam}}. Zoey has Glameow use {{m|Shadow Claw}} to cut the Aura Sphere in half and Gallade uses {{m|Psycho Cut}} to pop the Bubble Beam into a circling sparkling show causing Dawn to loses points as she stares at the sparkles in a daze while [[Fantina]] admires it greatly. Togekiss flies towards Gallade and Glameow | Dawn starts out with having Piplup jump on Togekiss's back, then ordering Togekiss to fly up and use {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Piplup surrounds the Aura Sphere with {{m|Bubble Beam}}. Zoey has Glameow use {{m|Shadow Claw}} to cut the Aura Sphere in half and Gallade uses {{m|Psycho Cut}} to pop the Bubble Beam into a circling sparkling show, causing Dawn to loses points as she stares at the sparkles in a daze while [[Fantina]] admires it greatly. Togekiss flies towards Gallade and Glameow before flying up. While distracted, Piplup starts to use {{m|Hydro Pump}}, but Zoey has Glameow use {{m|Fake Out}}. Glameow leaps at Piplup, causing him to [[flinch]], and then slams its paws together, sending Piplup flying. Dawn loses more points, now having three fourths of her full score. Brock remarks that Fake Out is a [[priority]] move that always causes its target to flinch, its use having prevented Piplup from executing Hydro Pump. Piplup recovers and Zoey has Gallade use {{m|Vacuum Wave}} on Togekiss. Dawn tells Togekiss to use {{m|Air Slash}}. Togekiss dodges the Vacuum Wave and fires the Air Slash, but Gallade back-flips and dodges it. Zoey and Gallade look up at Togekiss, and Zoey knows not to underestimate it. Both Dawn and Zoey lose points. | ||
Gallade uses {{m|Signal Beam}} and Glameow uses {{m|Iron Tail}}. The Signal Beam hits Glameow's tail and Glameow spins its tail creating a spinning whirlpool stream of Signal Beam. Piplup reacts with {{m|Whirlpool}} and Glameow fires the Signal-Tail [[Contest combination|combination]]. Togekiss uses Aura Sphere on Whirlpool | Gallade uses {{m|Signal Beam}} and Glameow uses {{m|Iron Tail}}. The Signal Beam hits Glameow's tail and Glameow spins its tail, creating a spinning whirlpool stream of Signal Beam. Piplup reacts with {{m|Whirlpool}}, and Glameow fires the Signal-Tail [[Contest combination|combination]]. Togekiss uses Aura Sphere on Whirlpool, causing it to glow like Aura Sphere. The two attacks collide and creates a beautiful fireworks display. Dawn and Zoey lose points; Dawn is now at one half of her original score, and Zoey is at three fourths of hers. Gallade uses {{m|Swords Dance}}, increasing his {{stat|attack}} power while Togekiss uses {{m|Safeguard}} while spinning, causing Zoey to lose points. Glameow charges at Togekiss with Shadow Claw, and Dawn wonders why Zoey would use a {{type|Ghost}} move against a {{t|Normal}} type like Togekiss. Togekiss charges at Glameow with {{m|Sky Attack}}, and Gallade begins using Psycho Cut. Piplup retaliates with {{m|Peck}} and collides with Gallade, creating a bright flash. In the flash, Glameow jumps past Togekiss and lands on its tail to bounce onto Togekiss's back. After the flash fades away, Dawn wonders where Togekiss is, only to find her in the air, flying around in panic trying to get Glameow off her back, causing Dawn to lose more points. | ||
Johanna comments on Zoey's strategy | Johanna comments on Zoey's strategy: in a Double Battle, it can be difficult for a Coordinator to be constantly managing both of their Pokémon as well as their opponent, so the tactic of distracting the opposing Coordinator by focusing the latter's attention on just one of their Pokémon can be extremely effective. Ash tells Togekiss and Dawn to hold on, but Togekiss has completely forgotten about the performance and is panicking, its lack of battle experience showing. Glameow uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Togekiss's Safeguard blocks it, surprising both Zoey and Glameow. Fantina comments how wonderful the Thunderbolt was, but praises the Safeguard even more. Dawn and Zoey both lose points, but Zoey loses a bit more, leaving her slightly under half and Dawn at a fourth of her original. | ||
Dawn tells Piplup to help Togekiss and Zoey tells Gallade to block him. Gallade uses Vacuum Wave but Piplup dodges it with his spin technique | Dawn tells Piplup to help Togekiss and Zoey tells Gallade to block him. Gallade uses Vacuum Wave, but Piplup dodges it with his spin technique, forward flipping onto Gallade's head and into the air. Zoey is shocked and Piplup uses Hydro Pump to knock Glameow off Togekiss's back. Togekiss swings underneath Piplup and soars away with him, and Zoey loses significant points, nearly making her score equal to Dawn's. Gallade uses Psycho Cut, but Togekiss easily dodges it. Zoey has Gallade use Psycho Cut again to separate Dawn's Pokémon, and Togekiss flies straight up to dodge. However, the attack follows them, and Piplup can see it gaining speed. Before it can hit, Piplup shoves himself off Togekiss's back with his feet, pushing both of them clear as the attack flies past between them, but also separates them, just as Zoey wanted. Dawn gets anxious and has Piplup initiate Whirlpool as he falls, while Togekiss charges towards Gallade and Glameow before flying upward in an attempt to distract Zoey. Piplup fires the Whirlpool, but Glameow catches it with Iron Tail. Johanna attributes this stunning defense as Zoey training hard to maximize the potential of Glameow's tail. While Togekiss flies away with Piplup, Gallade disperses the Whirlpool with Vacuum Wave, creating a beautiful sparkling effect, dropping Dawn to a fifth of her original score. | ||
Dawn tells Piplup to use Peck and Togekiss use Sky Attack. Togekiss glows and charges | Dawn tells Piplup to use Peck and Togekiss use Sky Attack. Togekiss glows and charges as Piplup hops on Togekiss's head and his beak glows and grows. Piplup's beak shines a gold light that turns red and surrounds both Piplup and Togekiss, giving the two an appearance similar to that of a rocket flying through the air with fire trailing behind it. Fantina is amazed by the combination, and Zoey loses points, now being equal to Dawn's. Zoey tells Gallade to use Psycho Cut and Glameow to use Thunderbolt. Gallade jumps and prepares to use Psycho Cut while Glameow lifts its tail up. As Gallade lands on Glameow's tail, Glameow uses Thunderbolt and gives Psycho Cut an electric charge. Gallade jumps up while Dawn becomes excited and cheers Togekiss and Piplup on. Gallade fires the electrified Psycho Cut, which collides with Togekiss and Piplup's combination attack, causing a major explosion to erupt, along with a bright flash. Togekiss and Piplup are sent stumbling backwards and Gallade falls down. Zoey and Dawn try to stand on their feet as the sheer force of the explosion pushes them back. Togekiss and Piplup land on their feet while Gallade lands on the ground. Dawn and Zoey both lose points, the smoke clears, and time runs out. Dawn and Zoey quickly look to the board, and it is revealed that while both only have very few points left, Zoey has very slightly more than Dawn, and is declared the winner of the Grand Festival. Dawn looks disappointed as everyone cheers for Zoey. Ash, Brock, Johanna, and {{AP|Pikachu}} are sad that Dawn lost. Gallade and Glameow hug Zoey while Dawn picks up Piplup. She tells Piplup and Togekiss they both did a great job and congratulates Zoey. | ||
[[Jessie]] is furious that Dawn lost and decides to quit Contests | In the stands, [[Jessie]] is furious that Dawn lost and decides to quit Contests, throwing away her Jessilina costume and stomping away as she decides to rededicate herself fully to [[Team Rocket]] and capturing Pikachu. Zoey is awarded the [[Ribbon Cup]] and the title of [[Top Coordinator]] as the Sinnoh Grand Festival comes to an end. Dawn finishes changing and comes out of the dressing room to find her proud mother waiting in the hallway with her friends. She hugs her, being happy that she was there, and gives her back the [[Ribbon]] she gave her before her {{pkmn|journey}}, saying she doesn't need it anymore, as she now has her own. [[Nurse Joy]] appears and informs Ash that she took a call from [[Volkner]], informing him that the [[Sunyshore City]] [[Sunyshore Gym|Gym]] is fully repaired and he will be waiting for him. Ash becomes excited knowing he will soon be battling for his final [[Badge]]. | ||
Dawn and Zoey meet outside, talking together as [[Nando]] comes out and congratulates the two on a fine battle before leaving. Zoey says she is going back to [[Snowpoint City]], as [[Candice]] is going to be throwing a party in her honor, and tells Dawn that she is welcome to accompany her, but Dawn says she is going to stay with Ash and support him during the [[Sinnoh League]]. Zoey tells Dawn goodbye and leaves. Dawn sends out her [[Party|team]] and thanks them for all their hard work getting into the Grand Festival and for the performances that got her to the finals, before telling them that they'll do even better next time. | |||
