Blurb
Lumiose City is nearly back to normal, and Serena has an idea for a celebration. With Professor Sycamore’s help, she and Shauna put on a special performance for everyone! They’re soon joined by their Master Class rival Jessilee, and the show is a huge success!
Serena wants to keep pursuing her performance goals, but she’s not sure about her next step. With the support of Ash and her mom, she finally decides to turn down Palermo’s offer so she can keep improving on her own. But Palermo has a surprising response: she suggests that Serena travel to the Hoenn region to try her hand at Pokémon Contests!

Errors
- At the beginning of Serena and Shauna's performance when Serena commands Braixen to use Flamethrower, the position of her Pokémon change from being (from left to right) Pancham, Sylveon and Braixen with Serena standing to their right to Braixen, Sylveon and Pancham with Serena standing in between Braixen and Sylveon.
- When Serena and Shauna walk up to Jessie after she and her Gourgeist make their entrance, Shauna's Flabébé is initially shown to be floating behind Shauna, but when the shot changes, Flabébé is in front of Shauna.
- During Ash and Serena's battle, Braixen began executing its Fire Blast before Serena could finish calling out the attack.
