{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are still on their way to [[Valor Lakefront]] so that {{an|Dawn}} can compete in the [[Sinnoh | {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are still on their way to [[Valor Lakefront]] so that {{an|Dawn}} can compete in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. Passing through [[Arrowroot Town]], Ash, Dawn, and {{an|Brock}} notice that one of the final [[Pokémon Contest]]s before the [[Grand Festival]] is due to take place that day. Brock asks Dawn if she plans to enter, but Dawn tells him that there is no need because she has already acquired her fifth [[Ribbon]]. Suddenly, a woman in formal dress approaches Dawn and tells her, by name, that they've been waiting for her. Dawn is overcome with confusion, having never seen the woman before, while Brock is naturally overcome with affection and tells the woman of his paralyzing love for her. However his paralyzing love is nothing compared to {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}'s paralyzing {{m|Poison Jab}} and he is, as usual, dragged away. | ||
Dawn and Ash are left with the woman, and Dawn asks her what she means by 'waiting for her'. The woman apologizes and introduces herself as [[Freesia]], and tells Dawn that she's come to collect her... to turn her into a princess. | Dawn and Ash are left with the woman, and Dawn asks her what she means by 'waiting for her'.

Later Dawn, Ash and Brock are introduced to [[Princess Salvia]], who looks almost identical to Dawn. The princess is very excited to meet Dawn and is also excited to meet the Piplup that helped Dawn win the [[Wallace Cup]]. Salvia then introduces herself to Dawn, Ash and Brock and the three can't understand how she knows all their names. Salvia explains that she's a huge fan of Dawn's, having seen her competing in all her Contests as well as the [[Tag Battle | Later Dawn, Ash and Brock are introduced to [[Princess Salvia]], who looks almost identical to Dawn. The princess is very excited to meet Dawn and is also excited to meet the Piplup that helped Dawn win the [[Wallace Cup]]. Salvia then introduces herself to Dawn, Ash and Brock and the three can't understand how she knows all their names. Salvia explains that she's a huge fan of Dawn's, having seen her competing in all her Contests as well as the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]] and therefore knows the name of her friends. Freesia explains that Salvia is visiting Arrowroot Town as a goodwill ambassador, and wishes to enter the upcoming Contest. However, Salvia is very busy with official business and therefore has no time to enter and therefore the two are asking Dawn if she would mind switching places with her for the day. Dawn is astounded to be asked such a favor, and Salvia asks kindly if Dawn would mind agreeing. Dawn thinks about it... | ||
...but clearly doesn't have to think for long, as soon Dawn is dressed in one of Salvia's dresses. Dawn can't believe she's actually wearing the dress of a princess and Ash comments on how good she looks in it. Now it's clear to everyone how much Dawn and Salvia look alike and Salvia leaves to change into Dawn's normal clothing. Soon, Salvia is dressed and now looks exactly like Dawn (who notes that looking at Salvia is like looking in a mirror). Now Salvia is free to enter the Arrowroot Contest, and although Salvia feels strange wearing Dawn's clothes, Freesia assures her she looks fine. Salvia trusts her handmaiden and brings out a [[Poké Ball]] containing the Pokémon she plans to enter with... a {{p|Togekiss}}. None of the gang have ever seen a Togekiss before, and Dawn looks it up in the [[Pokédex]]. Salvia tells the group that both she and Togekiss have been training hard for the day when they would get to enter a Contest. Suddenly there is a knock at the door, and Salvia quickly returns Togekiss to her Poké Ball as [[Salvia's butler|her butler]] enters. He apologizes for in intrusion, and Freesia quickly leads Salvia, Ash and Brock out. The butler, thinking Dawn is Salvia, tells Dawn that he wasn't aware that she had an interview at that time. Dawn starts to fluster, and tells him there's 'no need to worry', however the butler tells Dawn that such a phrase isn't appropriate for a princess. Dawn, realizing she needs to carry herself like a princess, apologizes. The butler reminds his princess that she has a lot of meetings prepared and hopes that she is ready for them and doesn't forget to smile. Unfortunately this isn't something Dawn is prepared for and she puts on a ''very'' nervous smile. | ...but clearly doesn't have to think for long, as soon Dawn is dressed in one of Salvia's dresses.

Outside the Contest | Outside the [[Contest Hall]], Salvia is preparing to register for entry and is starting to get nervous. Ash and Brock tell her not to worry, and that they'll be there for her cheering her on. Salvia regains her confidence and enters the hall with the two. Watching from behind a nearby bush are [[James]] and {{MTR}} and both are confused as to why Dawn would want to enter the Contest considering the fact she's already got five Ribbons. Sitting nearby is [[Jessie]], who is changing into her Jessilina disguise. Jessie isn't concerned about Dawn as she's probably only at the Contest Hall to watch... and while Dawn might have five Ribbons Jessie still only has four and she declares that today is the day she'll get her fifth and secure her place in the Grand Festival. | ||
Soon the Contest is underway, and [[Marian]] welcomes the spectators to Arrowroot Town, 'the town of overflowing greenery'. She introduces the judges who are, as ever, [[Raoul Contesta|Mr. Contesta]], [[Mr. Sukizo]] and Arrowroot's [[Nurse Joy]]. Backstage, as Salvia watches everything happening, Jessie is furious to see 'Dawn' as if she's backstage then it means she must be entering the Contest after all despite having collected five Ribbons already. Jessie begins to declare her desire to defeat Dawn when suddenly 'Dawn' approaches Jessie and starts to introduce herself to 'Jessilina' having seen her compete in Contests too. Jessie is, naturally, confused and Salvia realizes that Dawn and Jessilina might be friends having competed in the same Contests sometimes. While Dawn and Jessilina aren't strangers they ''certainly'' aren't friends! Jessie angrily asks 'Dawn' why she's entering the Contests when she already has five Ribbons and Salvia explains that entering Contests has been her dream before excusing herself and wishing good blessings on Jessie. Now Jessie is very angry, and believes that Dawn is just being arrogant and feigning confidence and is now determined to win. | Soon the Contest is underway, and [[Marian]] welcomes the spectators to Arrowroot Town, 'the town of overflowing greenery'.

Meanwhile, Dawn is having her own problems as she has just finished a meeting with a gentlemen who had arrived to pay his respects to his princess. As he leaves, Dawn quietly asks Freesia if that's all but Freesia tells Dawn to hang tight as there are only eighty groups left... however while eighty might not be much to Freesia but it's a lot to Dawn who isn't looking forward to more greetings. | Meanwhile, Dawn is having her own problems as she has just finished a meeting with a gentlemen who had arrived to pay his respects to his princess.

The Arrowroot Contest is underway and after several appeals (including Jessie, who does an excellent appeal showing off her {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}}'s attacks thanks to her extra determination to beat Dawn). Soon it's Salvia's turn and while Ash and Brock cheer the princess on, James and Meowth and astounded to see the twerp entering the Contest too.

Soon it's Salvia's turn and while Ash and Brock cheer the princess on, James and Meowth and astounded to see the twerp entering the Contest too. Salvia sends out Togekiss, and the [[Seal|Line Seal]] on the [[Ball Capsule]] create a crown around Togekiss as she appears. James and Meowth's surprise to see Dawn with a Togekiss is huge as Salvia starts off by having Togekiss use {{m|Aura Sphere}} which is sent into the air. Salvia then has Togekiss use {{m|Sky Attack}} and she travels into the air while glowing causing the Aura Sphere to split into several sections which surrounds Togekiss. Salvia then has Togekiss use {{m|Air Slash}}. Togekiss starts to spin while using Air Slash which causes the Aura Spheres to explode in a shower of beautiful sparkles. Togekiss then lands next to Salvia and bows, as the sparkles lands and surround the two like a beautiful aurora. This gets huge cheers from the crowd and Contesta, Sukizo and Nurse Joy comment on how wonderful the appeal was. | ||
Backstage, Jessie's fury is increasing. Not only has 'Dawn' entered a Contest when she already has five Ribbons but now she hasn't even bothered to dress up for it and vows to make Dawn pay for trying to prevent her getting a fifth Ribbon. However, while Jessie is overcome with fury, the real Dawn is overcome with exhaustion as she has finally finished accepting blessings from all the visitors. The butler informs her that there will now be a social gathering combined with a meal, to which Dawn is relieved to finally get something to eat. Dawn is led to the dining room to see that the meal isn't a chance to relax as she's going to be eating with around a dozen people, much to her horror. | Backstage, Jessie's fury is increasing.

Backstage at the Arrowroot Contest Hall, Salvia admits to having been nervous before her performance but Ash and Brock reassure her by telling her that her appeal more than likely got her through the first round and that she has more chance of winning the Contest than she thinks. Salvia is very happy to hear this and talks about how glad she was to be able to enter the Contest.

Salvia is very happy to hear this and talks about how glad she was to be able to enter the Contest. Not only is she having a fun time, but she has also had the chance to see the bonds between other {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s and their Pokémon. Brock notes it must be very different to her quiet life at the castle which gets Ash thinking about Dawn and hoping she's managing all right... | ||
At the castle, Dawn is having a very hard trying to get through the meal and soon everything is sent flying; food, glasses and eventually even Dawn who ends up on the floor much to the butler's embarrassment. Freesia implores with Dawn to calm down, but it's clear Dawn is just glad of the chance to lie down. | At the castle, Dawn is having a very hard trying to get through the meal and soon everything is sent flying; food, glasses and eventually even Dawn who ends up on the floor much to the butler's embarrassment.
