DP161: Difference between revisions

{{spoilers}}

The day before the Daybreak Contest will take place, the gang arrives in town. {{an|Dawn}} and her Pokémon are enthusiastic to win their fifth [[Ribbon]], so they all head towards the Contest Hall to practice. {{Ash}} comments that Dawn must want to work on her "Flame Ice" combination right up until the main event, but {{an|Brock}} warns that she can't just depend on "Flame Ice" and needs to rehearse other appeals as well. As they finally reach the Contest Hall where other Coordinators are practicing, Dawn assures him that she's well aware of that, and is confident that they will win the Contest. Her mood suddenly plummets, however, when she spots a Coordinator's {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}. Her face goes pale and she slumps to the ground, loudly proclaiming her displeasure as Ash and Brock look on in confusion.

Ursula finds this effect funny, and Brock leans over to let Dawn know that her hair is sparkling like a diamond. In shock, Dawn mutters under her breath about the glitteriness "D-Diamond?!"{{tt|*|Pikari in the original}} before blacking out and falls backwards, to the surprise of all present.

Back at the [[Pokémon Center]], the gang is watching over Dawn, who still hasn't woken up. {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} shakes her arm worriedly before Dawn's eyes finally open and she jolts into a sitting position, checking to make sure her hair is back to normal. Relieved to find that it is, she gives a sigh. Brock asks if she's all right, and Ash offers her a mug of warm milk, which she accepts after putting her hat back on. After taking a sip, she smiles and says that even Ash can be sensible at times, but Ash says that he only asked Brock what to do; Brock speaks up and adds that drinking something warm should help her calm down. Piplup shows concern for her as well, and Dawn assures him that she's all right.

* Mike Pollock returns to his role as [[Raoul Contesta]] while [[Carter Cathcart|Billy Beach]] takes over the role of [[Mr. Sukizo]] (due to the departure of [[Craig Blair]] from the series).

* In the episode, [[Dawn's Piplup]] returns to his [[Poké Ball]] again temporarily.

* During her performance, Jessie uses an {{p|Arbok}}-shaped flute, which is possibly a reference to the {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} she once had.

* In the beginning of the episode, when Team Rocket are talking to each other, Wobbuffet makes a noise, preceded by a Poké Ball sound. At this time, however, Wobbuffet was already outside of its Poké Ball.

* Ursula's Jigglypuff has green eyes, similar to the Shiny artwork. Dawn's Pokédex also displays a Jigglypuff with green eyes. This variation in Jigglypuff's anime artwork compared to its official Sugimori is not an isolated occurrence.

* During the appeal montage, a {{p|Chingling}} and a {{p|Chimecho}} are both seen using {{m|Sing}} despite neither being able to [[Anime move errors|legally learn the move]].
