DP079: Difference between revisions

Dawn gets nervous about the finals and subconsciously squeezes Piplup. Ash and {{an|Brock}} calm down Dawn, and Zoey comes behind and tells Dawn good luck in her next match. Dawn is clearly still nervous, but knows she's done amazing to make it this far and vows to do her best. Jessie interviews May, but once again, tries to bring all the attention upon her. Ash, Brock and Zoey watch the final from the stands, with {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} cheerleading and {{AP|Buizel}} also watching his former Trainer battle. In support of May are [[Max]], [[Norman]] and [[Caroline]] watching from [[Petalburg City]] while [[Drew]], [[Harley]] and [[Solidad]] watch from [[Ecruteak City]] in [[Johto]]. Meanwhile in support of Dawn, [[Johanna]] watches from her home in [[Twinleaf Town]] while {{si|Kenny}} watches from a [[Pokémon Center]]. Dawn and May exchange words and good luck backstage, both promising to give it their all before leaving to report to their sides.

With the battle about to begin, Wallace gives some encouraging words and [[Marian]] begins the battle. Dawn sends out Piplup and May sends out {{TP|May|Glaceon}} for its first [[Contest Battle]] since [[Evolution|evolving]], which surprises Dawn. Dawn starts off telling Piplup to use Bubble Beam. May tells Glaceon to dodge and use {{m|Secret Power}}. Glaceon glows pink and hits Piplup, which seems to be {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} for a bit. May then orders Glaceon to use {{m|Ice Shard}} which has Piplup in a spot. Dawn tells Piplup to go in the water and Glaceon looks menacing at it. Piplup jumps out of the water and Dawn orders Piplup to use Whirlpool. Despite the size of it, May isn't phased one bit and orders Glaceon to use {{m|Mirror Coat}}. The two collide but Glaceon pushes it back at Piplup which sends it flying backwards. Piplup recovers fast and Dawn tells it to use Bubble Beam. Glaceon is hit hard and May loses points. May tells Glaceon to use {{m|Shadow Ball}} but Piplup dodges with its spinning move. May is impressed but sees where Piplup will land. Before Piplup lands, May orders Glaceon to use Secret Power. Dawn tries to have Piplup land before Glaceon hits, but Glaceon is too fast. Piplup is sent spinning into the air, but Dawn uses it against May having Piplup spin gracefully and landing in a pose, which surprised both May and Glaceon. Ash, Brock, and Zoey comment on how well the two are battling. May has Glaceon use Shadow Ball and toss it in the air. Glaceon jumps and flips twice hitting the Shadow Ball with its tail giving it momentum. Dawn has Piplup use Bubble Beam which smashes through the Shadow Ball and hits Glaceon. This surprises May and impresses the judges and [[Marian]]. Dawn tells Piplup to use {{m|Peck}} but May has Glaceon dodge it and use Ice Shard. Dawn counters it by having Piplup block it with Whirlpool. Dawn then has Piplup ride the Whirlpool which gets everyone's attention and applause. May tells Glaceon to use Shadow Ball and Dawn has Piplup dodge. The Shadow Ball hits the Whirlpool and becomes a huge splash of water. Dawn has Piplup use Bubble Beam and Piplup comes through the water and uses Bubble Beam. Glaceon is hit hard, again, and May tells it to use Shadow Ball. Dawn responds by using Peck. When then two attacks hit, the Shadow Ball becomes a wall of purple energy which distracts Dawn and Piplup. May tells Glaceon to use Ice Shard which hits Piplup hard. Dawn and May comment on how well the both of them are doing but won't give up. Dawn has Piplup use Whirlpool and May responds with Mirror Coat. Glaceon stands up to it for a while and eventually Glaceon and Piplup both get hit as a result. The two Pokémon are still standing after being washed back to their places and time runs out. May and Dawn look up to see who won the Cup and the points couldn't be closer... but with just .5 points ahead of May, Dawn has won the Wallace Cup! Dawn is speechless, unable to believe that she won while Glaceon lowers its head, ears, and tail sadly. Ash stands up, excited that Dawn won. May tells Glaceon that it did a good job and Glaceon feels better. She gives Dawn her congratulations and Piplup jumps into Dawn's arms. Dawn begins to cry with happiness and thanks her partner, telling him that he was the one who earned their victory.
