BW019: Difference between revisions

When Ash approaches the curtain, the Connaisseuse forcibly brings him into her booth. The Connaisseuse introduces herself as [[Burgundy]], and tells Ash that she could check the happiness of his Pokémon. She tries to start with [[Ash's Pikachu]], but Ash politely refuses with a smile, telling her that he's certain that the bond between him and his Pikachu is strong. Burgundy then tells Ash that she'll check his other Pokémon, if that is the case. Ash brings out his {{AP|Sewaddle}}, which Burgundy takes numerous pictures of it with her [[Pokédex]]. Burgundy is highly opposed to Ash's Sewaddle and furiously informs Ash that his Sewaddle's [[Ability]] is {{a|Swarm}}, and that he should switch it for a Sewaddle with {{a|Chlorophyll}} as its Ability. Ash presses her for an explanation, but she remarks that he shouldn’t argue with an expert Connaisseuse. Sewaddle becomes annoyed and responds by hitting Burgundy in the face with its {{m|String Shot}}. Burgundy becomes furious, and demands to see a different Pokémon of his. Ash declines, but calls out {{AP|Snivy}} when threatened. Burgundy indicates that Snivy somehow has a 'bitter' taste to it and has the aroma of "black pepper." She actually tries to "taste" Ash's Snivy,  though Snivy uses her {{m|Vine Whip}} attack, lashing Burgundy's tongue. Ash then brings out {{AP|Tepig}}. Tepig smiles at Burgundy, which she observes with distaste. Then, she says that Ash's Tepig smiles too much and how that it doesn't really look like it's suited for {{pkmn|battle}}. Tepig, much like Snivy, responds by letting its {{m|Ember}} loose and "roasting" Burgundy's head. Then, {{AP|Oshawott}} suddenly pops out of his {{i|Poké Ball}} and tries to butter up Burgundy by hugging one of her legs and smiling cutely. Burgundy sees through Oshawott’s flattery and comments on his musky aroma. Oshawott then replies with a {{m|Water Gun}} that hits Burgundy square in the face. Then, Ash sends out his {{AP|Scraggy}}. Burgundy states that Scraggy smells like an old shoe, and when Scraggy pulls his "pants" up, she tells him he should be ashamed of himself, and Scraggy {{m|Headbutt}}s her. Finally, Burgundy takes a look at [[Ash's Pikachu]], saying he wasn't as cute as pictures she had seen before, and Pikachu responds with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Burgundy says that all of Ash's Pokémon are horrible and recommends he gets rid of all of them and get new ones, and Ash begins to argue with her. She shouts at him that he will never make it in the [[Unova League]], with her bluntness taking Ash aback.

Suddenly, Cilan and Iris pull the curtains back to check up on Ash. Burgundy turns around, and as soon as she sees Cilan, she screams and points at him. Ash is confused, but Cilan explains that Burgundy challenged him a while ago, and lost. Burgundy then states that she has been waiting for this day, proclaiming it as her revenge day. Cilan asks why she wants revenge. Burgundy answers that she wants revenge on Cilan, not only because he had defeated her, but also for the hurtful comments he said about her Pokémon. She then conjures up an evil image of Cilan and his {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, laughing and mocking her. Cilan replies that he had never actually did these things to Burgundy. However, Burgundy continues, revealing that she attended the Pokémon Connoisseur Association and earned herself accreditation after undertaking an exam. She returned to the [[Striaton Gym]] for the planned revenge, but Cilan had already left on his journey with Ash and Iris, much to Burgundy's total dismay. Cilan apologizes to her, but explains that he cannot have an official [[Gym]] battle outside of a Gym. Burgundy rubbishes his excuses, and reveal that she earned the {{Badge|Trio}} after defeating [[Chili]].

Burgundy proclaims that she dreams of opening her own Connaisseuse shop, to which Cilan asks about her class; she admits that she is a C-class, and Cilan admits that means she is only a beginner and can only work as an assistant. Ash is furious upon hearing this, and questions her so-called expert opinion. Burgundy boldly proclaims any other Connoisseur would say the same thing, but Cilan thinks otherwise and questions Burgundy’s evaluation methods. Then, Burgundy challenges Cilan to a [[Pokémon battle]] to prove her skills. They step outside, and agree to a two-on-two match. Burgundy brings out {{p|Dewott}} and Cilan selects his {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble}}. Burgundy gives her evaluation and mocks Cilan, seeing that he has picked a {{type|Bug}} and {{type|Rock}}, which is weak to her {{type|Water}}. Burgundy wants to have the battle with a special condition: if she wins the battle, Ash will have to change all of his Pokémon with different ones. Cilan agrees without a moment of hesitation, much to Ash's shock.
