NARRATOR: The arrival of our heroes in Daybreak Town
is finally here,
and Dawn's next Pokémon Contest is tomorrow!
NARRATOR: So, is Dawn's fifth ribbon victory
finally here as well?
DAWN: Now! Ready for some more practice, g*ng?
PIPLUP, MAMOSWINE, CYNDAQUIL: [EXCITED]
ASH: It's time to get that Flame Ice move working great!
PIKACHU: [EXCITED]
BROCK: Of course you'll be using moves other than Flame Ice,
so make certain they're all in tip-top shape as well!
DAWN: You know I'm going be perfecting all of my moves
and win this contest for sure!
PLUSLE, MINUN: [EXCITED]
DAWN: Oh no!
DAWN: Oh no! No, no, no, no, no, no, no! No, no, no, no no!
It's about you It's about me
It's about hope It's about dreams
It's about friends that work together
To claim their destiny
It's about reaching for the skies
Pokemon!
Given the courage And willing to try
It's about never giving up So hold your head up
And we will carry on... Sinnoh league victors
Pokemon!
DAWN: No, no, no, no!
ASH: Whoa, Dawn, what's up with you?
PIKACHU: [CONCERN] PIPLUP: [CONFUSED]
URSULA: You guys?
ASH, BROCK, PIKACHU: [SHOCK]
DAWN: It's Ursula!
URSULA: It's Dawn!
DAWN: Hey! Long time no see!
URSULA: So you're actually competing
in the Daybreak Contest, too?
How many ribbons do you have?
DAWN: Uh, four of them!
URSULA: Isn't that a coincidence!
I have four as well!
I wonder who will get their fifth ribbon first?
DAWN: Duh! For your information,
we've been practicing hard for tomorrow, see?
PIPLUP, CYNDAQUIL: [PROUDLY]
MAMOSWINE: [DETERMINED]
URSULA: Yeah, yeah, you've been practicing hard,
fine!
But your best won't be nearly enough to beat us!
So meet the ace Pokémon I raised just for our Double Performance!
URSULA: I now present you with Plusle and Minun!
PLUSLE, MINUN: [CHEERING]
DAWN: No, no, no!
PIPLUP, CYNDAQUIL, MAMOSWINE: [CONFUSED]
ASH: What are you so afraid of?
BROCK: Look at how cute Plusle and Minun are!
ASH: This can't be the first time you've seen them, right?
POKEDEX: Plusle. The Cheering Pokémon.
Plusle loves to cheer for its fellow Pokémon,
and it creates sparkling pom-poms by shorting out
the electrical current released from its paws.
POKEDEX: Minun. The Cheering Pokémon.
Minun and Plusle's electrical current
promotes blood circulation and energizes their target.
DAWN: No, this is serious! No!
Anything but Plusle and Minun, please?
URSULA: Dawn, how rude can you get?
If you keep this up,
you'll hurt both of their feelings!
PLUSLE, MINUN: [OFFENDED]
DAWN: Sorry.
URSULA: I know, as a special treat I'll give you a taste
of Plusle and Minun's contest performance!
Now, pay attention,
and you're bound to feel major happiness and joy!
PLUSLE, MINUN: [EXCITED]
URSULA: All right, Plusle and Minun, jump!
PLUSLE, MINUN: [EXERTION]
PLUSLE, MINUN: [CHEERING]
URSULA: Wow, Dawn, you look hilarious!
BROCK: Hey, your hair's sparkling like a diamond!
DAWN: D-diamond?
ASH: Hey Dawn?
PIPLUP: [CONCERN]
URSULA: Oh my!
MEOWTH: Hey remember that twirly-haired Twerpette?
With a Gabite in the Chocovine Tournament?
WOBBUFFET: [QUIET AFFIRMATIVE]
JAMES: It seems the Twerpette rivalry lives!
JESSILINA [JESSIE]: Well,
while those babies are babbling I'm going to win the Contest!
MEOWTH: I like it!
You stay focused while those dopes flap their yaps!
JESSIE: And let us not forget,
Carnivine has the ultimate Contest performance move on tap!
MEOWTH: Hard work is worth it
when it comes to trouncing Twerps!
WOBBUFFET: [QUIET AFFIRMATIVE]
JESSILINA [JESSIE]: All right!
The call has been sounded for Team Rocket
to mount its most brilliant performance to date!
JAMES, MEOWTH: Yes, that's great!
PIPLUP: [CONCERN]
BROCK: Dawn, are you all right?
ASH: Brought you some hot milk! Here!
DAWN: Oh. Thank you, Ash
DAWN: Wow, that was really thoughtful of you!
ASH: Thanks, but it was Brock's idea...
BROCK: I figured if you drank something warm
it would calm you right down!
PIPLUP: [CONCERN]
DAWN: I'm just fine, Piplup! Don't worry.
ASH: So, what happened to you before?
BROCK: It was weird the way you reacted
when you saw Plusle and Minun. You were freaked!
DAWN: I know.
BROCK: Something must've happened before...
ASH: Hey! I'll bet you,
you tried to catch Plusle and Minun once but you couldn't,
right?
DAWN: Not right. You see...
ASH: What's wrong?
BROCK: If you don't want to talk about it that's fine.
DAWN: I was going to tell you about it one day so why not now?
DAWN: It happened when I was in kindergarten.
DAWN: Kenny, Leona,
and I were given the job of Pokémon caretakers!
ASH: Pokémon caretakers?
DAWN: Our class had a Plusle and Minun.
So, as Pokémon caretakers,
it was our job to give them their Pokémon food,
make sure they always had fresh water,
and clean their playpen every day!
DAWN: But then.
DAWN [KINDERGARTEN]: Plusle! Minun! Come back! Come on!
You always let me hold you two!
Slow down! Please? Plusle?
Minun? Just a little hug, please?
KENNY [KINDERGARTEN]: Hey, stop goofing off, Dawn!
LEONA [KINDERGARTEN]: You're a Pokémon caretaker, too!
DAWN [KINDERGARTEN]: Well, since you're busy giving them
their Pokémon food I thought I'd hold Plusle and Minun
and that'd help keep them out of your way!
PLUSLE, MINUN: [STRUGGLING]
DAWN [KINDERGARTEN]: Okay, time to calm down you two!
We can all play together later!
KENNY [KINDERGARTEN]: They don't look too happy.
DAWN [KINDERGARTEN]: No need to worry!
See, we're best buddies, right?
PLUSLE, MINUN: [STRUGGLING]
LEONA [KINDERGARTEN]: Hey, Dawn. You okay?
DAWN [KINDERGARTEN]: No need to worry, Leona.
KENNY [KINDERGARTEN]: Your hair's sparkling
like a diamond!
LEONA [KINDERGARTEN]: Like dandruff!
KENNY [KINDERGARTEN]:I'm calling you Diamond Dandruff!
LEONA [KINDERGARTEN]: Yeah, good idea!
KENNY [KINDERGARTEN]: Or Dee Dee for short! Perfect!
PLUSLE, MINUN: [EATING]
TEACHER: So, Turtwig challenged that Buneary to a running race!
"Whoever reached the top of the hill wins!"
Buneary thought about this for a little while, and then said...
KENNY [KINDERGARTEN]: Hey there, Diamond Dandruff Dee Dee!!
BOY A [KINDERGARTEN]: Diamond Dandruff, huh?
GIRL A [KINDERGARTEN]: Dee Dee!
DAWN [KINDERGARTEN]: I don't want diamond dandruff!
ASH: Whoa!
ASH: So, you got that nickname
because of what happened with Plusle and Minun. Wow!
PIPLUP: [UNDERSTANDING]
DAWN: Yeah. And because I loved them,
I could never understand why they would want to do something
so awful to me like that.
ASH, BROCK, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [LAUGHING]
DAWN: All right you two, what's so funny?
ASH: Sorry! But the thing that's funny is you!
PIKACHU: [APOLOGETIC] PIPLUP: [AMUSED]
DAWN: Piplup, how dare you?
BROCK: A Pokémon would never attack
unless they were provoked first!
ASH: The reason Plusle and Minum zapped you is because you
were chasing after them in the first place!
DAWN: Wow, it was my fault!
I never thought of that before...
PIPLUP: [COMFORTING]
ASH: It's okay. Hey, no need to worry, Dawn!
BROCK: He's right!
It was a big deal then, but if you take a good look at it now,
it's no big deal at all, see?
DAWN: I guess so.
ASH: So wipe out Ursula in tomorrow's contest,
and you'll wipe out those bad memories, too!
PIPLUP: [AGREE] BROCK: Ash is right!
This is the perfect opportunity to free you from the past!
DAWN: Whoa, don't be too dramatic, Brock!
DAWN: But you know, you're both right!
I'll do it, thanks!
PIPLUP: [EXCITED]
URSULA: That story was sure cute.
Thanks a lot, Dee Dee!
MARIAN: The cheers and excitement are mounting,
which can mean only one thing:
Get ready for the fabulous Daybreak Town Pokémon Contest!
MARIAN: The waiting is finally over,
and you'll soon see that it was all worth it!
MARIAN: Ladies and Gentlemen, as you all know,
we're coming to you live from Daybreak Town:
the town of the morning light!
MARIAN: It's been a while since we've had a Double Performance,
so sit back and enjoy the magnificent skills
of all our Pokémon Tag-Teams
as they wow you with torrents of talent!
MARIAN: And remember,
Double Performances mean double the drama!
Double the dazzle!
MARIAN: And just take a look at what our
winning Pokémon Contest Coordinator will receive!
The beautiful and prestigious Daybreak Ribbon!
MARIAN: Now! It is my distinct honor to introduce you
to our impressive panel of judges!
First off, our head judge, Mr. Contesta!
MR. CONTESTA: Thank you, hello!
I'm certain today's Double Performances
will thrill us all!
MARIAN: Next, from the Pokémon Fan Club,
Mr. Sukizo!
MR. SUKIZO: Double Performances...
are remarkable!
MARIAN: And finally, Daybreak Town's very own...
Nurse Joy!
NURSE JOY: I look forward to a great event.
And I wish everyone the best of luck!
MARIAN: Please allow me to introduce myself as well.
I'm your humble host, Marian!
DAWN: Piplup, it's time!
PIPLUP: [DETERMINED]
DAWN: And remember,
we've come a long way since we had our Double Performance
back at Hearthome City, right? You know?
PIPLUP: [AGREE]
DAWN: Since then, we won a few and lost a few,
our skills are sharper and we've leveled up a ton!
So let's go out and have fun!
PIPLUP: [AGREE]
DAWN: We're going to win this!
PLUSLE, MINUN: [EXERTION]
URSULA: Wow!
URSULA: Thanks!
You've been playing with my Plusle and Minun!
That's so nice!
URSULA: Miss Dee Dee!
DAWN: It's Dawn, not Dee Dee!
Hey, how do you know that name?
URSULA: Who knows? Aren't you going to sparkle your hair do?
DAWN: Of course not!
JESSILINA [JESSIE]: You can't argue too much, I say!
Because I'll swoop in and take that ribbon away!
MARIAN: So now Ladies and Gentlemen,
let's begin with round one the Performance Stage!
MARIAN: And here is our first entrant!
JESSILINA [JESSIE]: Hi there! It's Jessilina!
MEOWTH: Those two are in synch.
JAMES: If not, I shudder to think.
WOBBUFFET: [AGREE]
JESSIE: Let's get this party started!
Carnivine, rocket start!
CARNIVINE: [APPEARING]
CARNIVINE: [EXERTION]
MARIAN: Excuse me. Are you aware this is a Double Performance?
You do need two Pokémon, of course!
JESSILINA [JESSIE]: Patience! I'm a step ahead of you!
JAMES: That's it! She's on her game!
MEOWTH: After this there won't be a dry seat in the house.
ASH: Wonder what she's going to do!
PIKACHU: [INTERESTED]
BROCK: Maybe she won't be quite as offbeat this time!
JESSILINA [JESSIE]: All right, Carnivine ready?
CARNIVINE: [AFFIRMATIVE]
CARNIVINE: [GRUNT]
JESSILINA [JESSIE]: Seviper, you're on!
SEVIPER: [APPEARING]
MARIAN: Unbelievable!
Seviper mysteriously appeared from Carnivine's mouth!
Obviously Jessilina planted Seviper's Poké Ball there!
SEVIPER: [SMUG] / [EXERTION]
ASH: Awesome! PIKACHU: [IMPRESSED]
BROCK: She's come up with another new performance style!
JAMES: She's a hit! We won't be!
MEOWTH: Better she rocks their world than ours!
WOBBUFFET: [AGREE]
CARNIVINE, SEVIPER: [EXERTION]
URSULA: Okay, I give.
DAWN: It's just Jessilina doing the thing she does best!
JESSILINA [JESSIE]: Seviper, bring it on home!
SEVIPER: [AFFIRMATIVE]
JESSILINA [JESSIE]: Now Carnivine, use b*llet Seed!
CARNIVINE: [b*llet SEED MOVE]
MARIAN: Now there's a shimmering,
colossal collaboration between Seviper's skillful spinning
and Carnivine's b*llet Seed! Just gorgeous!
CARNIVINE: [EXERTION]
SEVIPER: [EXERTION]
CARNIVINE: [b*llet SEED MOVE]
JESSILINA [JESSIE]: What'd you expect?
MR. CONTESTA: A performance full of surprise!
And without a doubt a great way to kick off
our Double Performance festivities with a bang!
MR. SUKIZO: Carnivine and Seviper... remarkable!
NURSE JOY: What an unusual
and wonderful way to show off Pokémon!
MARIAN: And now, our next entrant!
HITMONTOP, CORSOLA: [SPIKE CANNON MOVE]
PURUGLY, ROSERADE: [EXERTION]
CHIMECHO, CHINGLING: [EXERTION]
WOOPER: [EXERTION]
MARIAN: What a treat to see such incredible combination moves!
All exclusively in a Double Performance!
And now, our next entrant! You're up!
ASH: Time for Dawn to show them how!
PIKACHU: [CHEERING]
DAWN: Piplup, Buneary! Now, Spotlight!
PIPLUP, BUNEARY: [EXERTION]
PIPLUP, BUNEARY: [EXERTION]
MARIAN: Great! Piplup and Buneary
give a wonderful and lively entrance
to the crowd!
DAWN: Now Piplup, Bubble Beam!
PIPLUP: [BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]
DAWN: And Buneary, Ice Beam!
BUNEARY: [ICE BEAM MOVE]
MARIAN: Amazing!
Buneary's Ice Beam has frozen Piplup's Bubble Beam,
and the frozen bubbles are floating around the arena
like balloons!
ASH: It worked! How great is that?
BROCK: You're right,
but it only gets harder from here...
DAWN: All right, Buneary, use Bounce!
BUNEARY: [BOUNCE MOVE]
BUNEARY: [BOUNCE MOVE]
DAWN: Piplup, Buneary, great job!
Keep it up!
MARIAN: Talk about fancy footwork!
Not only is Buneary's Bounce and Piplup's Bubble Beam
an unusual Combination Move, it's playing do-re-mi!
URSULA: Not bad!
JESSILINA [JESSIE]: Ha! Compared to my applause,
hers doesn't even rate a zero!
DAWN: All right, Buneary, let's go!
BUNEARY: [EXERTION]
BUNEARY: [EXERTION]
DAWN: Now, Piplup, use Peck!
PIPLUP: [EXERTION]
PIPLUP: [PECK MOVE]
BUNEARY, PIPLUP: [EXERTION] / [PROUD]
DAWN: You two were awesome!
I've never seen amazing teamwork like you just showed!
ASH: Great job, Dawn!
PIKACHU: [HAPPY]
BROCK: That performance should give Dawn's confidence a boost!
MR. CONTESTA: I simply couldn't take my eyes off of Piplup
and Buneary's performance! What a Tag Team!
MR. SUKIZO: Piplup and Buneary...
both remarkable!
NURSE JOY: And who would have expected them to play
a tune as well? That was just so much fun!
MARIAN: Let's keep moving with more fun!
So, next entrant you're on!
URSULA: And here comes today's main attraction!
URSULA: Okay, Gabite! Now, let's go!
GABITE: [READY]
URSULA: And Jigglypuff, you too!
JIGGLYPUFF: [APPEARING]
JIGGLYPUFF: [EXERTION] GABITE: [EXERTION]
MARIAN: Gabite's speed and Jigglypuff's round body
makes for quite a team!
We should be seeing quite a performance!
JIGGLYPUFF: [POSING] GABITE: [POSING]
DAWN: A Jigglypuff.
POKEDEX: Jigglypuff. The Balloon Pokémon.
When Jigglypuff's big eyes begin to quiver,
everyone becomes sleepy as it sings a lullaby.
JESSILINA [JESSIE]: I thought the Twerps
were an odd matchup...
URSULA: Jigglypuff, use Rollout, go!
JIGGLYPUFF: [EXERTION]
JIGGLYPUFF: [ROLLOUT MOVE] GABITE: [EXERTION]
MARIAN: And Gabite gracefully directs Jigglypuff's Rollout
using its shoulders!
URSULA: All right Gabite, Iron Tail!
GABITE: [IRON TAIL MOVE]
URSULA: Now Gabite time to use Stone Edge!
GABITE: [EXERTION]
GABITE: [STONE EDGE MOVE]
URSULA: Jigglypuff, use Hyper Voice!
JIGGLYPUFF: [HYPER VOICE MOVE]
MARIAN: A bold performance, reminiscent of a battle round,
and yet so beautiful!
ASH: That's a lot of power going on!
BROCK: Yeah, Ursula's really trained those two quite well!
PIKACHU: [IMPRESSED]
DAWN: Awesome!
That girl's definitely no slouch!
PIPLUP: [AGREE]
URSULA: Jigglypuff, use Gyro Ball!
JIGGLYPUFF: [GYRO BALL MOVE]
URSULA: Gabite, use Sand Tomb!
GABITE: [SAND TOMB MOVE]
MARIAN: Unbelievable!
The clash between Gyro Ball and Sand Tomb
is creating a brilliant glow!
DAWN: Oh wow!
URSULA: Time to finish this up! Gabite, Dragon Claw!
GABITE: [EXERTION]
GABITE: [DRAGON CLAW MOVE]
MARIAN: Oh my! Gabite's caught Jigglypuff
gently on top of its Dragon Claw!
JIGGLYPUFF: [POSING] GABITE: [POSING]
MARIAN: And their performance comes full circle
with the same pose they started with!
URSULA: Gabite and Jigglypuff, you were great!
MR. CONTESTA: Gabite and Jigglypuff's performance
was perfectly in sync! It was truly brilliant!
MR. SUKIZO: And not to mention, remarkable too!
NURSE JOY: I'm so in awe
of the way their combination moves were able to demonstrate
so much of their talent and poise!
MARIAN: And that brings us to the end of round one!
Our next task is to find out who moves on to round two!
MARIAN: So, please be patient while the results are tabulated!
ASH: Wow, Dawn, you were great out there!
DAWN: Hi guys! Thanks for the kind words!
PIKACHU: [EXERTION] / [EXCITED]
BUNEARY: [AFFECTIONATE]
PIKACHU: [EMBARESSED]
BROCK: Of course Piplup, and Buneary were great too!
PIPLUP: [PROUD]
PIKACHU, PIPLUP, BUNEARY: [HAPPY]
DAWN: I feel a lot more confident
about doing a Double Performance now!
And I'm going to win my fifth ribbon for sure!
ASH: Well we know you're going to win it too!
URSULA: My, my, what a lovely friendship!
DAWN: Ursula!
URSULA: Obviously I'm moving on to round two
but I did think your performance was at least energetic!
JESSILINA [JESSIE]: Drama queens!
Like two Twerpettes in a pod!
MARIAN: Our long wait is finally over!
It's time to find out who's going on to round two!
MARIAN: Our judges have decided that
the eight talented Coordinators
who will be competing in round two are...
MARIAN: Up on our screen!
JESSILINA [JESSIE]: Twerpettes?
Wonders never cease...
ASH: You did it Dawn! It's onto round two!
DAWN: And I have Piplup and Buneary to thank!
PIPLUP, BUNEARY: [HAPPY] PIKACHU: [EXCITED]
BROCK: Dawn, make sure you don't let your guard down
during the Contest Battle!
DAWN: Right!
URSULA: Yup, you listen to your friend.
Don't forget I'll be using both Plusle and Minun,
and I can't wait to battle you!
DAWN: You'll lose too!
Remember my fifth Ribbon's on the line!
URSULA: You remember that makes two of us! So!
Just make sure you don't lose until you battle with me.
PLUSLE, MINUN: [EXERTION]
DAWN: No!
NARRATOR: With a confident rival waiting to challenge her,
Dawn has conquered Round One of Daybreak Town's Pokémon Contest!
Now, what excitement awaits us in Round Two,
and who will win the Daybreak Ribbon?
Stay tuned for answers!
