BROCK:Those were some performances!

LILA: Johanna!

LILA: Great to see you!

LILA: Were you watching?

JOHANNA: Of course, Lila!That was quite the surprise!

DAWN: Lila! Hi, Mom!

LILA: Hello, Dawn!

That was a wonderful performanceyou gave us all out there.

DAWN: That's so nice! Thank you!

DAWN: So Mom said youtwo had a Contest Battle?

DAWN: Wow. It sounds like itmust've been totally amazing!

LILA:It was. As a matter of fact,

the battle between your motherand I

was the mostimportant battle in my life!

LILA: I may have won,

but when I saw how energizedyour mom was about battling,

I started askingmyself a few questions

LILA: Is this really what Iwant to be doing with my life?

LILA: Back then, I wasn't surewhich path I wanted to take:

Coordinator or Poké Stylist.

LILA: Then, I got the chance

to study to be aPoké Stylist abroad!

LILA: Not knowing what to do,I asked your mom for some advice

LILA: We decided then

we were both going todo what we really wanted

to do what we'd be best at!

DAWN: What a great story!

LILA: And that's why I decided

to pursue becominga Poké Stylist,

and your motherdecided to concentrate on

becoming a Coordinator!

JOHANNA:But I never thought you'd be

going after beinga Coordinator again!

LILA: Well, it's allthanks to your sweet daughter!

DAWN: Thanks to me?

LILA: You see,

of course I find the workthat I do now fulfilling.

LILA: But when I sawDawn battling on TV,

looking so full of life,the memories of my days

as a Coordinatorflooded back in my head!

LILA: So I started thinkinghow wonderful it would be

to stake earning my fifth ribbonin a battle with you, Dawn.

BROCK: Then, if you win,

you'll be able toenter the Grand Festival!

JOHANNA: But that's not thereal reason Lila's doing it.

LILA: Never could getanything past you, could I?

LILA: I knew I couldlearn something about myself

by battling Dawn the sameway I used to battle Johanna

and I will tell you,we went at it back in the day!

JOHANNA: It's obvioussome things never change!

MARIAN:Thank you for your patience!

And now for the results!

After careful consideration,the judges have made a decision!

The following eight Coordinators

will be moving rightalong to the next round!

MARIAN: Now,take a look at the monitors!

JESSIE: Come on, come on!

DAWN: We made it! And it'sall because of you, Buneary!

ASH, BROCK, PIKACHU, AMBIPOM:[THRILLED]

JAMES, MEOWTH, WOBBUFFET:[WARY]

MARIAN: Now, using the computer,

we've randomly decided allour battles for Round Two.

So have a look atour four pairings!

LILA: Now, Dawn. Let's makesure it all comes down to us!

DAWN: Okay!

JOHANNA: Dawn? Lila?

I'm looking forward towatching you two battle!

DAWN: No need to worry, Mom!

DAWN: Ambipom, this timeit's going to be your turn!

AMBIPOM: [EXCITED]

LILA: It's time, Dawn.

Let's both give it everythingwe've got. And no regrets!
