time! When we discover who will be the next performer to

challenge our Kalos Queen Aria! So, until we all gather around

this beautiful and exciting stage once again, au revoir!

DOCTOR: There.

DOCTOR: You'll be fine.

Just take it easy and don't overdo it.

SERENA: Right.

DOCTOR: Take care.

SERENA: Thanks, doctor.

PALERMO : How do you feel?

SERENA: I'm feeling fine now. Thank you so

PALERMO: Don't ever push yourself like that again.

PALERMO: Especially if you want to beat Aria.

SERENA: Yes, you're right.

SERENA: You saidI couldn't beat Aria. I remember it exactly.

SERENA: Something Aria has that I don't I think I know now what

that is after watching her performance just now.

SERENA: I have lots to learn.

My friends and Pokémon are always the ones

who are there supporting me...

SERENA: Aria has a gift. She makes people smile. And she once

gave me advice even though she didn't know me.

She's a giving person

SERENA: I know I've been on the receiving end until now. But I

want to become queen so I can give back to

everybody else, too.

SERENA: I want to give people strength, make them smile,

give good advice--even give tough love.

SERENA: That means I've got to work so much harder!

So I can be a good queen!

PALERMO: Now that you realize that, you'll become an even

better performer.

PALERMO: Would you like to learn with me?

SERENA: What are you talking about?

PALERMO: I'll teach you everything.

About being a performer

PALERMO: You don't have to answer right now.

Give it some thought and let me know.

SMOOCHUM: [BIG KISSING]

PANCHAM: [UNHAPPY]

BONNIE: Wow, Serena, you were so close!

SERENA: Yeah. All of you put your faith in me, but I lost.

MIETTE: What are you talking about?

MIETTE: For us, it's a brand-new start. You see?

NINI: I'm going to come up with lots of new performance

routines. They're gonna knock your socks off!

SHAUNA: All my losing days are over.

SERENA: Yeah, mine, too!

MIETTE: Andthere's you-know-who

PIKACHU: [CONFUSED]

SERENA: Miette!

MIETTE: See you later! Take care, Ash!

SLURPUFF: [FAREWELL]

ASH: Yeah, you too, Miette!

NINI: See you on stage again. Let's go, Smoochum.

PANCHAM: [SHOCKED] [TRAUMATIZED]

SHAUNA: Later. Take care!

IVYSAUR : [FAREWELL]

SERENA: Bye! Hi to Tierno and Trevor for me!

BONNIE: Bye-bye!

CLEMONT: Take care of yourself!

PIKACHU, BRAIXEN, SYLVEON, BUNNELBY, DEDENNE : [FAREWELL]

JESSIE: So, James

MEOWTH: Oy vey

JESSIE: Know what I think? Let's have a feast!

JAMES: You're not off the rails?

JESSIE: Of course not! I was able to make it this far because

of you. It--makes me want to sing

MEOWTH: Whoa. Whaddaya know.

JAMES, MEOWTH, WOBBUFFET, GOURGEIST, INKAY : OUR JESSIE!

JESSIE: What's wrong with you?!

JAMES: We'll follow you forever, Jessie!

JESSIE: The feast is on your wallet, James!

JAMES: With pleasure.

SERENA: I tried. But I came up a bit short.

GRACE: What matters is you did your very best.

GRACE: Now you simply move towards your next goal.

GRACE: I've gotta scoot. Rhyhorn's waiting for me.

SERENA: But Mom!

SERENA: It's nothing!

GRACE: Right. Bye!

BONNIE: Bye-bye!

CLEMONT: Have a safe trip!

ASH: Take care!

ASH: What's wrong? Does it hurt?

SERENA: Oh, no. I've been sitting here thinking

ASH: Yeah. I'll bet you were thinking about your next

performance, weren't you?

SERENA: You could say that.

ASH: Of course! When I lose a battle, I get so excited about

what I'm gonna do next time. My next strategy!

Then I know I'm gonna win.

SERENA: It's great you're always so positive, Ash.

PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

SERENA: It all seems to come so naturally for you.

BRAIXEN: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: Seriously? I don't always know what to do.

ASH: But then

ASH: If I really think about it, I'd rather do stuff! 'Cause

even if I goof up, I learn something.

ASH: There's nothing we could ever do that's a waste of time!

SERENA: Oh Ash

ASH: Okay, time to hit the sack. We've got an

early morning tomorrow!

SERENA: Yeah!

SERENA: Ms. Palermo!

PALERMO: My, you're up early. I hope you're here to say yes.

SERENA: Thank you. Your offer has made me really happy.

SERENA: I just can't go with you right now. I'm sorry!

PALERMO: Dear. Why not?

I think it's a great opportunity for you.

SERENA: I know I should accept it without a second thought,

but I don't think it's right to go with you and then leave Ash

and the others behind. It kind of feels like it wouldn't be the

right thing to do.

PALERMO: They're your friends?

SERENA: In the beginning, my journey was just me looking for

an excuse to get out of my house

SERENA: But after becoming a performer

SERENA: and meeting my rivalsand Aria

SERENA: I wanted to learn everything.

Everything about being a performer!

BRAIXEN: [EXCITED]

PANCHAM: [EXCITED]

SYLVEON: [EXCITED]

SERENA: I need to make it through my journey first.

And then when I've finally gotten to that point,

I'll be ready!

PALERMO: All right.

PALERMO: Keep on your journey to your heart's content.

PALERMO: And once you're all ready for the next step,

you just give me a call.

SERENA: All right, Ash, you're up next.

ASH: Yeah, the Snowbelle Gym. I'm gonna train hard and WIN!

PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

CLEMONT: And you know that we're here for you all the way!

BONNIE: You're super-excited, aren't you?

ASH: You bet!

PIKACHU: [AGREEMENT]

SERENA: Yeah, and I'll keep moving forward, too!

NARRATOR: Although Serena put on a spectacular performance in

the Master Class, she fell short of defeating Aria.

But her future is looking bright! Her road to becoming

Kalos Queen still lies ahead, as the journey continues!
