<i>The Floaroma Town Contest has just started, and Dawn's already in trouble! Pachirisu gets spooked before Dawn can even start their appeal, and only Dawn's quick thinking and a Poffin treat can calm it down so they can complete their performance. Even with that good recovery, it's no help for Dawn's nerves that the first round goes perfectly for Jessie, AKA Jessilina, and Dawn's old friend Kenny. Still, Dawn advances with them to the next round, much to her relief! She's eager to take on Kenny, but her first opponent turns out to be Jessie.

==Plot==
After the events of [[DP026|the previous episode]], {{an|Dawn}}'s {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} continues to suffer {{wp|stage fright}}, running wildly around the stage. Dawn pulls a [[Poffin]] out and tosses it into the air, the scent getting Pachirisu's attention. The {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} jumps with an electrified {{m|Spark}} and catches it, saving her performance. After eating the Poffin, Pachirisu uses {{m|Discharge}} to create sparks around [[Contest Hall|the stadium]] before using {{m|Sweet Kiss}} and creating a shower of small hearts. The crowd applauds at her comeback.

Other {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s perform before [[Jessie]] takes the stage disguised as Jessilina, calling upon her {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. Meanwhile, Dawn relaxes nervously backstage as {{si|Kenny}} complements her performance, but she doesn't believe he is sincere as they watch Jessie's performance. Dawn asks Kenny about when he started taking an interest in {{pkmn|Contest}}s, but Kenny told her she never noticed. On stage, Seviper literally {{m|wrap}}s Jessie for a good [[appeal]].

The Contest jumps ahead to the final round, where Kenny and Dawn face off after besting their prior opponents, revitalizing a childhood [[rival]]ry as Dawn's Piplup faces off against [[Kenny's Prinplup]]. Piplup and Prinplup both use {{m|Bubble Beam}}, canceling each other out and creating sparkles. Both Kenny and Dawn lose points, but Dawn takes a bigger hit due to Prinplup's more powerful attack. Piplup charges with Peck as Prinplup uses {{m|Metal Claw}} to catch and toss Piplup, dropping Dawn's points. Prinplup stands in place, executing a {{m|Drill Peck}} as Piplup uses Bide, landing on Prinplup and spinning with Drill Peck, Dawn's points continuing to drop. Prinplup tosses Piplup into the air as Piplup unleashes energy, hitting Prinplup and dropping Kenny's points.

Prinplup recovers and attacks with Metal Claw, but Piplup flip dodges and uses {{m|Whirlpool}}, consuming Prinplup and dropping Kenny's points to half. However, Prinplup uses Bubble Beam to destroy the Whirlpool, creating sparkles and setting Dawn's points even to Kenny's. Prinplup uses {{m|Mist}} to cloak the battlefield, dropping Dawn's points more. Prinplup comes down with Drill Peck, but Piplup uses Whirlpool and jumps into the whirlpool to dodge, droppings Kenny's points. Piplup prepares Peck as Prinplup jumps into the whirlpool as well. Prinplup's Metal Claw and Piplup's Peck connect, tossing both Pokémon out of the pool and dropping both points. Both use Bubble Beam again, resulting in a cancellation. Time runs out, and Dawn wins the Contest by just a small point difference.

Dawn accepts her first [[Ribbon]] from [[Raoul Contesta|Mr. Contesta]] as she holds it high. Afterwards, Dawn calls [[Johanna|her mom]] and shows her Ribbon, boasting about her first win. Dawn and Ash high-five as Kenny wishes both of them well before walking out, calling Dawn Dee-Dee once again. Ash tries to ask what it means, but Dawn pushes him off the subject.
