{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} | {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} return to [[Twinleaf Town]] as {{an|Dawn}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} take the lead, clearly excited to be back home. As they walk, {{an|Brock}} enjoys the quiet atmosphere, reminding Ash of [[Pallet Town|his hometown]]. Ahead, they spot a few people talking about placing some stands, but not making much progress. Dawn calls out their names, [[Izzy and Cara]], meeting up with them. Cara mentions that they are working with [[Johanna]] to plan the [[Twinleaf Festival|festival]], but Izzy isn't helping much. Dawn introduces Ash, Brock, and her Piplup. | ||
Dawn leads her friends to her house as Dawn is clearly excited, busting in. Johanna meets her, as well as Ash and Brock, with her {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}} and {{p|Umbreon}} in tow. Johanna greets Piplup as the Penguin {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} tries to greet Glameow, but gets the cold shoulder. He looks hurt, but tries again with Umbreon and gets the same response, to which {{AP|Pikachu}} comforts him. An older girl, [[Noelle]], walks down the stairs with her {{p|Bellossom}} and welcomes Dawn's return. She finished setting up the rooms for Ash and Brock, being there to enroll in Johanna's {{pkmn|Coordinator}} class. Dawn shows her the four [[Ribbon]]s she has earned, but Brock pulls her aside and makes his usual advances to Noelle. He gets {{m|Poison Jab|shut down}} not just by {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, but Bellossom as well with {{m|Stun Spore}}, Croagunk dragging him away. | Dawn leads her friends to her house as Dawn is clearly excited, busting in.

Dawn | Ash checks out the trophies and pictures on the wall as Dawn fills him in about her mother's career. Dawn decides to challenge her mother to a [[Contest Battle]], which she agrees to, but they decide to eat first since the food was freshly prepared. Ash shows impolite excitement at the prospect of being fed and quickly apologizes after Pikachu's pointing out that he's being rude, but Johanna laughs and lets it slide as she asks Noelle to show Ash and Brock their rooms. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} sits by a lake, [[fishing]] for {{p|Goldeen}} under [[Sayer]]'s terms. Sayer is disappointed that they have not caught any Goldeen, which are needed for a Goldeen catching game at the festival. Team Rocket tells Sayer that they are doing it mainly for [[Pokémon Dollar|money]], since they are broke as usual. | ||
Meanwhile, everyone sits down for lunch at Dawn's home. Johanna compliments Brock on his cooking ability that Dawn told her about. Glameow and Umbreon enjoy Brock's [[Pokémon food]], which pleases her since they are picky eaters. Noelle asks Brock for his recipe, which puts him into a romantic advance before Bellossom and Croagunk stop him. Dawn and Johanna clean the dishes as Ash talks to {{an|Professor Oak}} over the videophone. Professor Oak gives the {{pkmn|Trainer}} advice about learning from Johanna, whose experience as a [[Top Coordinator]] might prove useful to him. Dawn and Johanna join the conversation as Dawn learns that Professor Oak is on his way to attend the festival.

Then, {{Delia|Ash's mother}} bumps Professor Oak out of the frame and joins the conversation as well, telling Johanna to feel free to scold Ash if needed as he's a little rambunctious by nature—and that she's glad he's growing up and becoming more mature every day. Meanwhile, Team Rocket starts reeling in Pokémon, but none of them are Goldeen, so they toss them back. | ||
In the garden, Brock and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}} tend to the flowers, getting positive reviews from Johanna and Noelle. Johanna and Dawn decide to have their battle, but Izzy, Cara and Sayer meet up with Johanna, still trying to work out food booth placement. Although Johanna solves the problem at first, Izzy and Cara continue to vacillate, forcing Johanna to postpone the battle and get more involved. | In the garden, Brock and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}} tend to the flowers, getting positive reviews from Johanna and Noelle.

Ash and Pikachu decide to take a walk while Dawn works on her strategy. With Pikachu at his side on a picture-perfect day, Ash wanders into the forest as he spots a group of {{p|Sunflora}} absorbing sun rays. Pikachu follows a {{p|Ledyba}}, stopping as he notes it landing on a large flower. He runs forward and uses his nose to imitate it with a small flower, but the pollen makes him sneeze. He looks at Ash sheepishly when asked if he's okay. As Ash approaches a tree that seems to have something in it, a young boy calls him over. Ash meets [[Nathaniel]] as he tells Ash that he planted [[Honey]] on that tree. Nathaniel is excited to see a real {{p|Pikachu}} and asks Ash's permission to hug his. When Ash consents, Pikachu doesn't wait for Nathaniel to pick him up and quite happily jumps into his arms, perhaps seeing that the boy has a kind heart. Nuzzling the little {{type|Electric}}, Nathaniel reveals his passion to become a Trainer. They notice a {{p|Heracross}} on the tree. Seeing Nathaniel's excitement and joy, Ash thinks about how he used to be young and always wanted to always spend time with Pokémon, noting that being a Trainer is a great privilege. Nathaniel wants to specialize in {{t|Bug}} types as they watch Heracross leave. Ash starts telling him tales of his journey, starting with his own {{AP|Heracross}} loving the sap from {{AP|Bulbasaur}}'s bulb. | Ash and Pikachu decide to take a walk while Dawn works on her strategy.

Back at Dawn's house, Dawn plans with Piplup and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}, setting up two [[Contest combination|combinations]]. Pachirisu runs over to the [[Television|TV]] as Dawn notices a bunch of clipped newspaper articles, about all of Dawn's {{pkmn|Contest}} wins and the [[Hearthome Collection]] that Johanna framed. Piplup and Pachirisu are also pleased, dancing with happiness as both of them are also in the pictures.

Piplup and Pachirisu are also pleased, dancing with happiness as both of them are also in the pictures. Johanna returns as they get to the battle on the battlefield behind their house. They begin a [[Double Battle|two on two]] with Piplup and Pachirisu against Glameow and Umbreon. Brock shows his romance towards Noelle constantly, but Bellossom and Croagunk keep him in check. Dawn goes first with {{m|Whirlpool}} and {{m|Discharge}}, creating an electrified whirlpool. Johanna's Pokémon use {{m|Quick Attack}} to gracefully dodge, crossing each other's paths and creating an appeal before stopping in front of Johanna and launching a double {{m|Shadow Ball}}, destroying the Whirlpool and knocking {{cat|Dawn's Pokémon}} down. Dawn's Pokémon get up as they invoke their first plan. Piplup fires {{m|Bubble Beam}}. Though Johanna's Pokémon dodge with a synchronized backflip, the attack creates a wall, masking Pachirisu until the last moment and hitting both with a spinning {{m|Super Fang}}. Dawn celebrates the successful plan, but Johanna makes her pay for her premature celebration by using a double {{m|Attract}}, [[Infatuation|infatuating]] both of Dawn's Pokémon before hitting them with a double {{m|Swift}} attack, [[fainting|knocking them out]]. Dawn is somewhat upset but accepts the defeat, comforting her Pokémon. Still, Johanna was still impressed at her strategy and [[friendship|her bond]] with her Pokémon. It also inspires Ash to take a note from the battle. Glameow and Umbreon look pleased as Johanna hugs her daughter. | ||
