==Plot==

Dawn decides to prepare for the required Double Performance, hoping to avoid the mistakes that led to [[DP049|her early exit]] from the {{ci|Hearthome}} {{pkmn|Contest}}. Their party continues and the scene turns to them in their rooms with Zoey entering in. She finds out from Ash and {{an|Brock}} that Dawn left to prepare alone for her Contest. Zoey then goes out and sees Dawn {{pkmn|training}} with her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}. She orders Piplup to use {{m|Bubble Beam}} while Buneary uses {{m|Ice Beam}} in order to blow them.

Then, she orders Piplup to use {{m|Whirlpool}} while Pachirisu uses {{m|Discharge}} on it resulting in a flashy performance. After that, Zoey shows up and congratulates her. Dawn tells her about her intentions to try to find a new [[Contest combination|combination]], to which Zoey suggests working together on a new combination tomorrow. Night turns day and the scene turns to Ash who has just woken up. He then sees on [[Television|TV]] {{si|Rhonda}} interviewing [[Paul]] in front of the [[Canalave Gym]]. Brock shows up and Paul reveals he just won his eighth [[Gym]] [[Badge]], which means that he is qualified to compete in [[Sinnoh]]'s {{pkmn|League Conference}}. After that, Candice enters the room and tells them about Dawn and Zoey training.

From a nearby bush, Team Rocket come with their heads out spying on the training. Meanwhile, after their failed combination, Zoey suggests on trying something else. Candice sends her {{p|Abomasnow}} out to show Dawn a variation of Ice Shard. Abomasnow uses Ice Shard followed by {{m|Razor Leaf}} which breaks the Ice Shard in small pieces and spins around Candice. Dawn upon seeing this proceeds into trying the same combination. She orders Mamoswine to break the Ice Shard with its tusk and to send it spinning around Pachirisu. Then Pachirisu uses Discharge on the ice pieces to electrify them resulting in another flashy performance.

After that, Candice suggests Dawn to visualize the moves. Dawn then starts to remember the Tamato Berry bars that Candice made and realizes she can make opposites interact! Then she orders Cyndaquil to turn into a Flame Wheel and Mamoswine to do the same technique it did before. Then she orders Mamoswine to shot another Ice Shard at the spinning ice, freezing Cyndaquil in it while it continues to spin in a Flame Wheel. Dawn names her new combination 'Flame Ice'. Then, Cyndaquil proceeds in attacking Zoey's Pokémon by charging to them using Flame Wheel while still inside the ice. As it approaches them, the ice breaks and Kirlia along with Leafeon dodge the attack.
