Dawn, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} and [[Brock]] come out, as {{an|Barry}} comes from around the corner just as excited as Ash. Barry proclaims his [[Sinnoh]] Pokémon Ping Pong conquest, practicing his swing along with Ash. Dawn, however, has only a vague knowledge of the rules and she announces this fact, much to Ash and Barry's dismay. Barry explains to her that Pokémon Ping Pong is where a trainer and one of their Pokémon compete as a team. The trainer is the only one allowed to have a paddle, while the Pokémon is allowed to use a part of their body instead. The trainer always serves, and the first team with 11 points wins a game and first to win 3 games wins the match. Dawn enthusiastically decides to enter the tournament as well. | ||
Outside of the Ping Pong tournament hall, Ash and Dawn fill out their paper work to register. Ash naturally chooses Pikachu as his partner, while Dawn picks Ambipom due to the knowledge of Ping Pong moves she displayed during the contest. Dawn tells the others that she and Barry believe Ambipom really likes Pokémon Ping Pong, which Ambipom eagerly acknowledges. Brock tells Piplup that it will be with him in the stands. Coming around back, the gang notices the practice tables and Ash and Dawn decide to make good use of them. Dawn asks Ash to call heads or tails, and she uses the Coin Flip application on her [[Pokétch]]. Ash calls heads and wins, allowing him to serve first. Getting into position, Ash reminds Dawn that trainers always serve before starting the match. As the match continues, a young man walks by noticing the match. Dawn hits the ball pass Ash, who has Pikachu hit it back which catches Dawn off guard. Ambipom jumps up, hitting the ball with tremendous force surprising Ash and Pikachu. The ball hurdles out of bounds pass Ash, engulfed in flames and towards the young man. He effortlessly catches it and is very impressed by Ambipom's skill. Dawn and the others rush over, apologizing for the incident and asking if he was ok. The young man tells her he is fine, and comments how its nice to see new teams entering the tournament. He then compliments Ambipom's reflexes and power thrusts. He assumes it to be from daily ping pong related training, only to find out that Dawn and Ambipom have only began playing Pokémon Ping Pong. He tells them how impressed he is, gives them some pointers and wishes them luck before continuing on his way. Brock notices that the young man is on a magazine he has, and brings attention to it. | Outside of the Ping Pong tournament hall, Ash and Dawn fill out their paper work to register.
