{{ | {{an|Dawn}} is {{pkmn|training}} in the woods with {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, when [[Zoey's Glameow]] and {{p|Misdreavus}} find them while searching for help for their {{pkmn|Trainer}}. [[Zoey]] sprained her ankle while training, and is forced off her feet while she recovers. {{an|Brock}} gives her some first aid, but she needs to get to a [[Pokémon Center]] for full healing. They head to her camp and Zoey shows off her new {{TP|Zoey|Shellos}}, {{pkmn2|caught}} exactly where Dawn caught her {{TP|Dawn|Buizel}}. When {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} try to introduce themselves to Shellos, it gets very scared. Dawn lets her Buizel out, and it starts to stare at Shellos, making it even more frightened. Then Piplup starts arguing with Buizel until Dawn breaks them apart. | ||
{{ | |||
Seeing how poorly Buizel and Piplup are getting along, Zoey decides to demonstrate to Dawn the theme of the upcoming {{ci|Hearthome}} {{pkmn|Contest}}, [[Double Performance|appeals involving two of the Coordinator's Pokémon instead of one]]. Zoey gets her [[PC|laptop]] and shows Dawn and her friends a video of [[Top Coordinator]] {{jo|Marina}} delivering a Double Performance using her [[Wani-Wani]] and {{DL|Marina (Johto)|Pink}}. Zoey tries to help Dawn by showing her a [[Contest combination|combination]] with her Glameow and her Shellos. First Zoey has Shellos firing a {{m|Mud Bomb}} into the air, which Glameow used {{m|Shock Wave}} on, dotting up Shellos's attack. Then Shellos uses {{m|Hidden Power}} to destroy the Mud Bombs, which results in a beautiful and flashy fireworks display. Zoey informs Dawn that there are many factors that create a great performance including the type of [[Seal]]s used and finishing poses. | |||
Dawn | Dawn decides to practice a bit for the Double Performance, pairing Piplup with {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} and Buizel with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}. She tries Pachirisu’s {{m|Sweet Kiss}} followed by Piplup using {{m|Whirlpool}}. Unfortunately the Whirlpool covers up the hearts from the Sweet Kiss. She then tells Pachirisu to use {{m|Discharge}} on the Whirlpool, but this combination fails too and it ends up zapping both Dawn and her Piplup. Dawn tries the combination for a second time, but it fails again as Pachirisu's Discharge was too powerful. | ||
Zoey is | Dawn is feeling really bad, so Ash challenges her to a practice [[Contest Battle]] while she comes up with some new combinations. Ash decides to go with his {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Aipom}}, while Dawn chooses her Buneary and Buizel. Ash starts off first by telling Aipom to use {{m|Swift}} before having Pikachu jump into the attack with {{m|Quick Attack}}. Dawn notices that Aipom is left wide open, and she tells her Pokémon to dodge Pikachu's attack. Then she has Buizel to use {{m|Aqua Jet}} while Buneary encases him in an {{m|Ice Beam}}, creating an Ice Aqua Jet. However, Buizel is frozen solid and hits the ground hard before falling into the nearby river along with Aipom. Dawn is momentarily distracted by the accident, but Zoey reminds her that she is still in a match. Dawn complies, having Buizel use {{m|SonicBoom}}, striking Aipom out of the water. Aipom builds up its {{m|Focus Punch}}. Meanwhile, Pikachu aims a {{m|Thunderbolt}} on the ground, sending debris at Buizel and Buneary. Dawn tries to tell Buneary to intercept Aipom's Focus Punch with Ice Beam, but Aipom is protected by the rocks and lands a direct hit on Buneary, knocking her down. Then Pikachu uses {{m|Volt Tackle}}, overpowering Buizel and its counter Aqua Jet, to win the match for Ash. | ||
Dawn feels bad because her Ice Aqua Jet combination didn't work very well. After some encouragement from her Pokémon she tries the combination once again, but it fails once more. Then [[Jessie|Jessilina]] comes along, hoping to challenge Dawn while she's still faltering. However, Zoey decides to accept instead, despite her foot not fully healed. Jessie selects her {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} and {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} for the match. First, Dustox aims a {{m|Poison Sting}} towards the sky, before Seviper hits the projectiles with {{m|Poison Tail}} making them spin, adding lots more speed and power to them. But Zoey turns her opponent’s combination into her own advantage, having Glameow use {{m|Iron Tail}} and Shellos uses {{m|Mud Bomb}} to destroy the stings and leave a beautiful purple sparkle behind. Then Dustox uses {{m|Psybeam}}, but Zoey's Pokémon dodge the attack. Glameow fires back with {{m|Shadow Claw}} and Shellos uses {{m|Blizzard}} on the Shadow Claw for a combination attack which manages to knock both Jessie and her Pokémon back. {{TRT}} decides to retreat after that. | |||
Later, the group takes Zoey to the nearest Pokémon Center, and they all agree to meet up at the Hearthome Contest. Zoey wishes Dawn all the best with her Ice Aqua Jet combo, which gives Dawn a rise in confidence for the next rival clash. | |||
