25x15 - Reuniting for the First Time!

[bunniefuu]

[playful music]

[Chrysa] Come to think of it, Chloe.

Didn't you say you'd like to meet a Sylveon?

I do!

Sylveon is the only Eevee Evolution I haven't met yet.

Well, I was just contacted by Kiley.

Kiley? Wasn't he Vaporeon's Trainer?

Right!

His hometown is Lilycove City,

and they're holding a Pokémon Contest there.

It seems a Sylveon and its Trainer are favored to win.

[Rotom Phone] Sylveon.

The Intertwining Pokémon.

A Fairy type.

Sylveon's ribbonlike feelers send out waves

that have a calming effect and can put a stop to conflicts.

If it places its feelers on its Trainer,

Sylveon can understand their emotions.

That's perfect for competing in Contests!

-[Cerise] Would you like to go? -Huh?

[Chloe] Dad!

'Course I would!

So, Eevee, wanna go?

Eev, eev.

It turns out, Goh and Ash are already on their way

-to Lilycove City. -[Chloe] Huh?

What I really wanna do is catch an Altaria like the one Ash just battled!

So, on our way back, we're planning to stop at Lilycove City.

I figured you'd be able to meet up with them there.

Great!

Then it's off to Lilycove City.

-Now let's go! -Eevee!

♪ I'll go anywhere if I'm with you ♪

♪ Lightning strikes or any shade of blue ♪

♪ The journey's the best part ♪

♪ Even when the road gets hard ♪

♪ I'll go anywhere if I'm with you ♪

♪ With you ♪

[Chloe] "Reuniting…"

[Goh and Ash] "For the first time."

[narrator] This is Lilycove City, located in the Hoenn region.

And just as Chloe and Eevee arrive at the Contest Hall…

[Lisia] Hi, everybody!

[Ali exclaims]

Well then, watch me dive in!

It's dazzling!

Dizzying!

[all] Dizzying!

Lisia's Miraculous Contest

is Scouting!

-[all cheer] -All right!

I'm going to bring another fantastic Trainer

into the world of contesting!

Let's see. [gasps]

[Lisia] You, watching with that baffled expression on your face!

Me?

[Lisia] Have you never joined in a Contest?

Uh… never.

[Lisia] That's just what I want to hear!

Then let's get this show on the road!

Folks, this is the Trainer I'm going to scout today!

[gasps] Talent scout?

What's your name?

[Chloe] Wait a minute! I don't think I could possibly.

Won't you tell me?

Please?

[warbles]

[both yell]

Oh, no.

And that's the only Altaria we've seen so far today.

-[Lisia] Now listen, Chloe… -[both] Huh?

Contest Spectaculars aren't just about strength.

It's also about presenting the world

with a whole new brilliant side of your Pokémon!

-A whole new brilliant side of them? -Right!

[Lisia] I'm sure you can do that for your Eevee as well!

-Eevee? -You want that, don't you?

Here you go. Take these!

A Contest Pass and a Pokéblock Case.

So, Chloe and Eevee's story begins on this very day!

Yep! And this chapter should be titled…

Something like "A Sudden Encounter!

Miraculous Contest Scouting!" Yeah!

This has been Lisia coming to you from Lilycove Hall!

See you, everyone!

-Bye-bye! -[Ali cheering]

Try your hand in a Contest for me, okay, Chloe?

Uh, but wait!

[men chuckling]

[door closes]

-Eevee. -Eevee, where are you going?

[girl] Use Fairy Wind!

-[girl laughs] -[Sylveon exclaims]

Wow, it's Sylveon.

[chuckles] You're the contestant Lisia scouted!

[Chloe] How did you know?

I saw the live broadcast!

[gasps] That is just so embarrassing!

[chuckles] I'm Serena.

And this is Sylveon.

-[both chitter] -[Serena] That's such a cute Eevee!

Why, thank you so much!

So are you a contestant?

[Serena] Yeah!

Then you're the Sylveon Trainer that everyone's talking about?

I can't guarantee that it's me,

but I do intend to work with Lisia to make the Contest a huge success.

I really wanted to show your performance with Sylveon to my Eevee,

so we came from Kanto!

Show it to Eevee?

[lively music]

[Serena gasps]

[Serena] I love the sound of that.

[Chloe] What?

[Serena] The Trainer doesn't choose.

Eevee makes its own decision about how it's going to evolve.

Sounds simple, but I've never seen it happen before.

-Wow. Really? -Um-hm.

Sylveon is a great example.

[Serena] As an Eevee, it was an amazing dancer!

And always wanted us to dance along with it.

It's more fun that way.

And as we traveled together,

we started understanding each other's feelings.

[Chloe] And that's when you decided on Sylveon?

Right! [Serena chuckles]

So, has your Eevee decided?

How's it going to evolve?

I don't know.

I see.

-Miss Serena? -Call me Serena.

Forget the formalities!

Then please call me Chloe.

Serena, why did you decide to enter Pokémon Contests?

Huh?

I'm a lot like my Eevee, you see.

I never really know what I want to do in the future.

Wow, sounds like you're a lot like I used to be.

[Chloe gasps]

In the beginning, I went out on my journey

without having any goals or dreams, or anything.

But then, I saw an amazing Pokémon performance!

It really moved me.

Here's what I wanna do.

I wanna become the kind of performer

who inspires the whole audience!

It's really fun to have a dream and go for it.

There are times when things go terribly wrong.

But when things go right, it makes me so happy.

Serena, when you're talking about your dreams,

you seem to just sparkle!

Yeah?

I think it's because of my Pokémon.

-[Rotom Phone] You have a call from Goh. -Huh?

-You have a call from Goh. -Excuse me!

Hello?

[Goh] Chloe? You're going to enter a Contest?

[Chloe] Oh, you saw that too, Goh?

Um… I'm still thinking it over.

All right, then, we're going to head over to the hall right now!

See you soon!

Got it. So why don't we meet at…

Honestly.

So, what are you gonna do?

Your friends are waiting, right?

Yeah.

So, what am I gonna do?

What do you think, Eevee?

-Eevee. -[sighs]

What do you think?

Let's see…

When in doubt, give stuff a try!

'Cause even if you goof up, you'll learn something.

There's nothing you could ever do that's a waste of time!

[Serena] If you like, I'll help you get ready.

Great!

Let's give it a try!

Eev, vee, vee!

[Ash and Goh panting]

[Ash] Do you think that's it?

Yup! I think we're on time!

[Wallace] Well, if it isn't Ash?

[both gasp]

I knew it!

So I wonder if you remember me.

Let's see…

I refuse to greet one who sees this visage and gets no inspiration.

-[Ash] Right! -[both pant]

Hold it right there.

Recall that your friends May and Dawn participated

in a certain Wallace Cup.

-Well… -Huh!

[Ash] I remember now!

You're the Contest Master, Wallace!

Oui.

So you do remember me after all. Good.

Now, as luck would have it, my niece, the top Idol Lisia,

is appearing in this very Contest.

Excuse us, but we're supposed to go and see the same Contest ourselves.

And it looks like it's just about to start…

[Ash] Later!

-[Ash grunts] -There's no need to be in such a rush.

As a matter of fact, I've noticed a certain Trainer named Ash

in the World Coronation Series.

You have? Well, thanks.

I'm not in the Series, but since we've met,

I must assume that it's fate.

-What say we battle, eh? -Huh?

I'm a Trainer who can keep up in battle with the Champion of the Hoenn region.

Oh! You mean Steven Stone?

Well, you had no trouble remembering his name.

But I'll refuse to take any offense.

We really don't have time for a battle…

-Let's do it! -Come on!

I want you to show me.

Show me your Pokémon power!

And I, in turn, shall present you with a once in a lifetime performance of

water illusions by my Pokémon and me!

[Chloe] What will I choose?

[Serena] Whichever one you like!

[Chloe] This one's really cute!

But… maybe it's a bit too flashy?

Well, that's the costume the Princess of Hoenn once wore!

I'm sure it'll look wonderful on you!

Um. Hm-mm.

When you take the stage wearing this

you might just meet a "you" you've never ever seen before!

-Huh? -And I don't just mean you…

[Serena] Eevee, too!

Eevee, vee?

Ta-da! [Serena chuckles]

Pretty!

Now you'll match with Chloe!

[gibbering excitedly]

Now get on that stage and shine like twinkling stars!

-That means both of you! -[chuckles]

Chloe? When you're in doubt.

First off… give stuff a try!

Is that right?

-Exactly! -Eevee.

[Serena] So now let's think about creating your performance.

-Eevee! -[Chloe] Yeah!

[Ash] "Who's that Pokémon?"

-Pika? -Sylveon.

Pika, pika!

[announcer] Hello everyone!

Your attention please!

The Lilycove Pokémon Contest is about to begin!

First up, we'll be bringing you the Normal Rank performances.

It's already started.

-[growls] -Dragonite, great!

Swampert, use Muddy Water!

Swampert.

Now, Breloom!

Use b*llet Seed!

[exclaims]

Ee…

Here we go, Spheal.

Use Aurora Beam!

Spheal, spheal! [exclaims]

[audience cheering]

-[audience] So cool. -Eevee.

They're all simply amazing!

I really hope that I do all right.

-[Serena] Chloe? -Huh?

[Chloe] Serena!

Feeling a little nervous?

A lot.

[Serena] So were Sylveon and I the first time we took the stage.

But remember, a performer always has to come out with a smile.

I'm trying not to, but I keep thinking about

what will happen if it doesn't go well.

[Serena] You'll be fine!

You're not doing it all by yourself!

Your Pokémon is there helping you, so do your best.

-Really? -[Serena] Trust Eevee.

-Eevee. -[soft chuckle]

-Let's give it our all! -Eevee, vee.

[announcer] It's our next performer's very first Contest!

Please welcome Chloe!

All right, it's Chloe's turn!

Now, Dracovish, Water g*n!

You can take it! You hear, Walrein!

[grunts]

[Goh] And Chloe's up right now, Ash.

[announcer] It's showtime, Chloe!

[audience cheering]

Professor!

-Look at this! -Oh.

[Cerise] Ch… Chloe?

[Yamper pants]

[audience cheering]

[exhales deeply]

Eevee. Eevee, vee.

[inhales deeply]

Eevee, thank you!

Eevee!

[breathes deeply]

I know the perfect move!

We'll use the power the audience has given us!

Eevee, vee.

[upbeat music]

[chuckles]

Now, use Fairy Wind!

Vee…

-Ride the wind, use Tackle! -Eevee.

Ee… vee.

-They're great! -Sylveon.

Vee.

[audience cheering]

[announcer] And the crowd gives Chloe and Eevee

-a very warm reception! -Eevee.

Those two are giving quite a performance!

Aren't they great, Professor?

-Huh? -Hm?

Oh… I'm so nervous.

[Cerise] And I'm only watching!

Chloe's so cool!

Grookey, key!

-[Ash] Dracovish! You were great! -[Wallace] Walrein, return!

Who won?

I should have known.

That was a wonderful battle.

[sighs] Yeah, sure was!

-[sighs] -[Wallace] All right, next!

-Come out, Milotic! -[Ash] Pikachu, I choose you!

[gasps]

-Pikachu. -[Goh] You're still not done?

[announcer] Finally, the moment you've all been waiting for!

The Master Rank performers!

Our first made her name in Kalos,

and continues to gain popularity in Hoenn!

Welcome Serena!

Eevee.

My heart it's beating so fast!

Okay, let's go!

-Delphox, use Mystical Fire! -Delphox.

-Pancham, use Dark Pulse! -Pancham.

-Sylveon, use Swift! -Veon.

[grunts]

[laughs]

[mutters]

Sylveon!

-Eevee. -So great!

They're amazing!

Delphox, use Flamethrower!

[grunting]

Sylveon, use Quick Attack!

[Sylveon screams]

Pancham, use Ice Punch!

-Great! -Cham. Pancham.

[grunts]

-Now for a grand finish! -Veon.

-Phox! -Pancham!

[grunting]

Finale time.

[chattering excitedly]

Serena and Sylveon.

Both of them are the best!

[announcer] The Master Rank always guarantees a close Contest.

And for our last contestant,

we present the top performer from the Hoenn region!

The Contest Idol.

It's Lisia!

[audience cheering]

It's dazzling!

Dizzying!

[audience] Dizzying!

Welcome to the Miraculous Lisia's special performance!

-[audience ] Yeah! All right. -[audience ] Lisia! Yeah!

Ali, now. Time for Mist!

[Ali screams]

-[audience] Lisia! -[Ali screams]

Mega Shining!

Let's go!

[Ali screams]

And now, even more shine!

[Ali screams]

Use Draco Meteor!

[Ali grunting]

-[groans] -[Wallace] Milotic, return!

To think that I, who am on par with Champion What's-His-Name,

could be defeated, I tip my cap.

You were elegant, infuriatingly so.

[Wallace] And yet it was utterly glorious!

Kudos to you, Ash!

-As I have come to expect from you. -Thank you!

It was great practice for me!

-Right! Let's go! -Wait right there!

Now, you are now able to claim your Rain Badge.

-Oh… -I'm gone!

One more thing!

-[Pikachu] Pika. -Please take this as a memento

of your battle with me.

Oh.

You see, many paths are open to you now.

It's your choice.

One path would take you to the World Coronation Series.

Or you could pursue Poké…

[drumbeats]

[announcer] And now it's time to announce our Contest winner!

-And the winner is… -[soft chuckle]

The points are tied, so we have two winners!

Lisia and Serena!

All right!! Congratulations!

You too, Lisia!

-[chuckles] -Eevee, vee.

[applause]

-[sighs] -[Wallace] And from now on,

I will hope that a bright future waits for you,

whatever path it is you may choose.

Sure thing. Thanks a bunch! Huh?

[Goh] It's an Altaria!

-Wait for me! -Altaria.

[Ash] Goh?

If you don't mind, I'd like you to have this.

-You're sure? -[chitters]

Sure, I'm sure!

Sylveon will be happy, too.

[Chloe] Thanks so much, Sylveon!

Veon.

So, Chloe, how did you like the Contest?

Both Eevee and I met brand-new versions of ourselves,

and it's all thanks to you two.

Thanks for giving us that extra push!

Hey, don't mention it!

When I started my journey, my friends did the same for me.

It was just my turn.

So, what will you do now, Serena?

Well, actually Lisia…

Hey, Serena!

You wanna team up and form an Idol unit?

Now I'm wondering if I should…

[chuckles] Know what?

When you're in doubt…

[both] Give stuff a try!

-Uh-huh! -You know?

[both laugh]

Wow. Where are they?

Uh, is something wrong?

My friends should've been here.

Oh, well.

-I'm going. -Okay. But let's meet up again!

-I'll see you! Bye! -Eevee.

[Ash and Goh] Chloe!

Now where have you two been?

-I was battling Wallace! -I was catching an Altaria!

Is that Ash?

Huh? Serena!

It is you!

[Ash] How have you been?

Me? I've been doing just fine!

-You're looking great, Pikachu! -Pikachu.

You know each other?

She's a good friend from some of my journeys.

-[ship horn honks] -[both gasp]

So, I'm entered in the Pokémon World Coronation Series,

and I'm aiming to be the very best!

I've been competing in Contest Spectaculars!

If you'll be the best Trainer,

then I guess I'm gonna have to be the Top Coordinator!

So we'll both do our best!

You bet! Aim for the top!

I'll be cheering for you

and cheering for Chloe, too!

[Ash] Right backatcha!

-[Chloe] Thanks, Serena! -[Ash] Catch you later!

[ship horn honks]

[chirps]

-Shall we go? -Veon.

[chuckles]

[narrator] Ash and Serena are working their hardest

toward achieving their goals.

And someday, Chloe will have goals of her own,

as the journey continues!
