DP162: Difference between revisions

Dawn and Ursula have made it past the first round and must now face each other in battle. But Ursula has a secret plan for Plusle and Minun. Will Dawn be able to defeat Ursula and win her fifth and final ribbon?

The episode starts with Jessie using Seviper and Yanmega against Ursula using Plusle and Minun.  Jessilina commands Seviper to use haze and Yanmega to use Sonicboom.  It creates a beautiful spinning move, taking a few points off of Ursula's score.  Plusle and Minun use a combined spark to break it into a dazzling shower of sparkles, deducting even more points from Jessilina's score.  Yanmega lifts Seviper into the air.  Plusle and Minun use helping hand to power up.  Yanmega uses Silverwind and Seviper charges a Poisontail.  The Silverwind hits Seviper's tail, sending a twirl of poison beams at the cheering Pokémon and deducting their points.  To counter they use a combined spark attack powered my helping hand, creating a explosion followed by a shower of blue and green sparkles and leaving them vulnerable.  Seviper is released while Plusle and Minun twirl into a tumbleweed-like formation using spark, then at the last second they slit, Plusle lunging towards Seviper while Minun is launched in the air towards Yanmega.  Two great balls of light appear with a popping sound.  Both of Jessilina's Pokémon fall, unable to battle, winning Ursula the match.

Then the episode shows many Pokémon battling and goes to partway through the battle between Dawn with Mamoswine and Cyndaquil against an unnamed coordinator with a Mightyena and a Houndoom.  Cyndaquil uses Flame Wheel and Mamoswine uses Ice Shard pulling off the first stage of flame ice. But the ice melts halfway through, shocking Dawn and Mamoswine.  Cyndaquil collides wth the two dark dogs, creating a fire explosion.  The screen shows the points, meaning that Dawn will move on.  Dawn, however, is disappointed that it didn't work.  She is then shown practicing Flame Ice.  Once again, the ice melts too early.  Ash tries to comfort her and tell her that it looked great.  Brock suggests that she try a more reliable move.  Ursula is shown hiding behind a door, grinning smugly and then walking away.  Dawn and Ursula are shown winning their matches, putting them in the finals together.  In the hair dressing room, they argue, Ursula pulling the Dee-Dee card twice.  Piplup looks from side to side as they argue.  Ursula leaves as then Dawn says to Piplup, "I should calm down.  No need to worry."

Dawn sends out Mamoswine and Cyndaquil, the ball capsule creating a torrent of lightning bolts, then Cyndaquil falls playfully on Mamoswine's tusks, then landing in front of it, blasting fire beautifully.  Then Ursula sends out Plusle and Minun, surrounded by petals created by the ball capsules.  At first, no one could see them, but then the pedals scattered, revealing the cheering Pokémon.  When they landed, they touched their tales together, creating sparks everywhere.  Johanna and her Glameow are then seen watching TV.  Johanna says, "Of all the Pokémon Dawn could face, it had to be those two in the finals," referring to the Diamond-Dandruff incident.  Dawn commands ice shard, striking ice shard a crimson.  Mamoswine then eats the ice shard, like Grotle did once.  Cyndaquil uses Swift to surround Mamoswine, then lands on and ice spike, blasting fire.  They then charge then Mamoswine uses Take Down.  Plusle and Minun jump up to dodge, losing Dawn some points.  They then use Encore, losing Dawn more points.  Mamoswine and Cyndaquil then glow a dulled color.

Dawn commands Mamoswine to use hidden power and Cyndaquil to use Falme wheel, but instead they use Take Down and Swift, shocking the three.  Ursula explains that Encore did that.  Plusle and Minun use Helping Hand and then Charge Beam, hitting them, taking away points.  Jessie became "officially impressed."  Then the cheering Pokémon use spark, deducting more points.  They try to dodge, but go back to their regular attacks.  Both sparks make contact.  They then repeat it, making Dawn lose more points.  Dawn, Mamoswine, and Cyndaquil's hair light up.  Dawn becomes very scared of everyone seeing her like that, when Mamoswine and Cyndaquil look up at her, their hair dying down.  She then realizes that they can still move.
