Post by bunniefuu »

PIERRE: Now, a performance by our talented new star.

So please give a warm welcome to Mademoiselle Shauna

PIERRE: the winner of the Coumarine Pokémon Showcase!

I am sure we can look forward to many fine performances

from her in the future!

BONNIE: Wow! It's so awesome that Shauna's famous now!

ASH: She's famous all right

PIKACHU

SERENA: I've really got to practice hard

so I can catch up to Shauna!

NURSE JOY: Thanks for your patience.

Your Pokémon are all fully recovered and feeling fine.

SERENA: Thanks, Nurse Joy!

SERENA: Fennekin? Pancham?

SERENA: Our next performance is coming soon.

So let's train hard!

FENNEKIN!

You're just a kid on a quest

To be the best of the best

Someday you're destined for power and glory

You know you're up to the test

There's only one way to tell this story

Be a hero!

Be a hero!

All the power is at your command

Face your fears and show you're a hero

The future of the world is in your hand

Pokémon!

PIKACHU

NARRATOR: With four Kalos Gym badges in Ash's possession,

our heroes continue to the Lumiose Gym for Ash's

battle with Clemont.

SERENA: Then Pancham will jump, go under here then finish up.

I think we should give it a try okay. Imagine Ash and Bonnie as

a cheering crowd. All set?

FENNEKIN!

SERENA: Okay, let's go!

BONNIE: Can't wait! Yippee!

DEDENNE

ASH: Show us how it's done!

PIKACHU!

FENNEKIN

SERENA: Fennekin! Pancham!

FENNEKIN

SERENA: Now jump!

FENNEKIN

PANCHAM

FENNEKIN

BONNIE: Wowee! That was perfect!

ASH: All that practicing's really paying off, Serena!

FENNEKIN

FENNEKIN!

ASH: Whoa!

BONNIE: Amazing!

SERENA: All right, Pancham, jump!

PANCHAM

SERENA: Now use Flamethrower!

FENNEKIN

PANCHAM

PANCHAM!

SERENA: No, Pancham!

SERENA: Are you okay? Pancham?

PANCHAM!

FENNEKIN!

PANCHAM!

FENNEKIN

SERENA: Now stop fighting, both of you! It was nobody's fault.

Our timing was off. So let's try it once more. 'Kay?

FENNEKIN

PANCHAM

FENNEKIN

SERENA: Now let's do it!

FENNEKIN

PANCHAM

PANCHAM!

FENNEKIN!

FENNEKIN

FENNEKIN

PANCHAM!

FENNEKIN!

FENNEKIN

SERENA: Stop. Both of you

PANCHAM!

SERENA

FENNEKIN!

PANCHAM!

FENNEKIN!

SERENA

PANCHAM!

FENNEKIN

BONNIE

ASH: C'mon, cut it out, NOW!

BONNIE: You shouldn't fight!

PIKACHU!

PANCHAM

FENNEKIN

FENNEKIN

ASH: Serena!

FENNEKIN!

SERENA: I'VE HAD ENOUGH!

FENNEKIN

SERENA: Can you please take this seriously?!

FENNEKIN

ASH: Okay, now calm down

SERENA

ASH: So you both know what you did wrong, don't you?

PANCHAM

FENNEKIN

SERENA

SERENA: I think I need to go and take a little walk.

FENNEKIN?

SERENA: I want to think things over alone.

BONNIE: Serena

SERENA: Sorry.

FENNEKIN

BONNIE: Serena!

FENNEKIN!

PANCHAM!

FENNEKIN!

PANCHAM!

FENNEKIN

PANCHAM

JESSIE: Of all the stupid If I had won, that praise and glory

would have been mine!

JESSIE: That twerpy Twerpette is taking away my spotlight!

JAMES: Now, now. There will always be a next time.

JESSIE: Of course. And the next next time, I'm going to win!

MEOWTH: You tell 'em, Jess! And alwaemember James and I

have got your back!

JESSIE: Words of wisdom! I'm going to become the

reigning Kalos Queen, cagey, crafty conqueror!

MEOWTH

JAMES: Attaining the status of top Pokémon performer doesn't

necessarily mean you'll be conquering all of Kalos

JESSIE: What's that supposed to mean?!

JESSIE: Queen. The title that will bring me adoration

and region-wide praise.

Yes. The entire world will bow down before me!

MEOWTH: First you get the performance power,

then we get the Pokémon!

JAMES: Wow. I can see that.

WOBBUFFET!

SERENA: I was awful

SERENA: I'VE HAD ENOUGH!

FENNEKIN

ARIA: To be totally honest,

I think this one suits you much better.

SERENA: Suits me?!

ARIA: I thought you were wondering about which one

of these was better.

SERENA: No, not at all.

See, I was actually thinking about something else

ARIA: Hey. Don't look so sad!

ARIA: Really. If you keep that look up, your poor face will

wind up staying that way.

ARIA: Always keep smiling!

ARIA: That's the secret for looking and feeling great!

ARIA: That's right. Just like that!

SERENA: I know I've seen her somewhere before

ARIA: I finally have some time off, and I know there are some

shops I've really wanted to check out, but it's boring

to go by myself. So! Please?

SERENA: Sure

ARIA: My name is A My name's Ariana. Nice to meet you.

SERENA: Hi. I'm Serena and it's nice to meet you.

ARIA: Great! Now, come on, Serena, the stores await!

SERENA: Uh Uh

ARIA: Of course You know, I was wondering where I've seen

you before. I saw you in the Pokémon Showcase.

SERENA: You saw the Coumarine Showcase, Ariana?

ARIA: I wasn't actually there in person,

but I watched it later on Pokévision.

SERENA: I sure goofed up. I made some big-time mistakes and then

got eliminated. And I got mad at my Pokémon today.

I feel like I'm the worst Pokémon performer ever

ARIA: Everybody makes mistakes. Nobody ever does it perfectly

the first time around.

SERENA: But Shauna sure did. She won it. I really want to be just

like Aria, the Kalos Queen! It's what I dream about!

ARIA: Come on, you're looking sad again.

ARIA: Serena? Between these two,

which one do you think is better?

SERENA: Let's see That one.

ARIA: Really?! Then this one it is!

Wait. On second thought This one's really cute, too.

I can't decide!

ARIA: See? There's that face!

ARIA: A Pokémon performer always has to wear a

wonderfully radiant smile!

ARIA: That's the way you make everyone in your audience happy!

SERENA: Yeah

BONNIE: Okay! Time to eat!

PIKACHU!

DEDENNE!

FLETCHINDER!

FROGADIER

ASH: Fennekin? Pancham?

FENNEKIN?

ASH: I'll bet you're worried about Serena.

FENNEKIN

PANCHAM!

ASH: Don't worry. She'll be back here in no time.

BONNIE: Yup. He's right. And when Serena gets back here,

if she finds out you didn't eat anything,

she'll get really worried

FENNEKIN

FENNEKIN

PANCHAM

FENNEKIN

HAWLUCHA

BONNIE: Aw, I sure hope my big brother's doing all right

ASH: So your worries are about Clemont. Got it.

BONNIE: Clemont can mess stuff up.

I get pretty worried when he's on his own.

ASH: Don't worry.

ASH: Clemont always does the best he can.

Bet he's at it right now!

TREECKO

SCOTTIE: You all right, Treecko?

TREECKO!

CHESPIN

CLEMONT: Luxray, use Wild Charge!

LUXRAY!

TREECKO?

TREECKO!

TREECKO

CLEMBOT: Treecko is unable to battle! So, the winner is--

the Gym Leader Clemont!

SCOTTIE: Treecko, you were great.

SCOTTIE: Awesome. You are so good! Gym Leaders are strong!

CLEMONT: You were quite good, too.

But it was when you decided to use your Mega Drain that

left you a big opening for me to make my counterattack.

SCOTTIE: Oh... I got it now. That helps me a lot.

Thank you very much for the tip!

CLEMONT: Wow. I feel like I'm really on to something!

You'll see, Ash!

SERENA: Yum! This looks so good!

We're in the famous café that's in all the guidebooks, right?

ARIA: That's right! I've always wanted to come here and eat.

SERENA: So let's dig in! Ready? It's delish!

SERENA: It just melts in your mouth! Right, Fennekin?

ARIA: You two are always together, aren't you?

SERENA: Yeah.

SERENA: Fennekin and I have been together since the very

beginning of my journey, and although Pancham isn't always

up front with me, it's very sweet and lots of fun.

SERENA: I know they're doing the best they can training for

Pokémon Showcases, but...

GIRL: Here, Furfrou.

FURFROU

GIRL: Open wide.

FURFROU

GIRL: Is it yummy?

FURFROU!

GIRL: Aw. That tickles!

SERENA: Maybe they won't want to perform with me anymore.

ARIA: They're your precious friends, right?

ARIA: Do you want things to stay like this?

ARIA: Serena, I'm sure anything that's important to you...

...is something your Pokémon really care about, too.

SERENA: You think so?

ARIA: First off, why don't you apologize to them?

ARIA: Even if you had a fight, you can always make up,

which is what makes you true partners, right?

SERENA: Right!

ASH : "Who's that Pokémon?"

ASH : "It's Treecko!"

JESSIE: Not acceptable!

MEOWTH

JESSIE: Not at all!

MEOWTH: Yeah. You can scream that again

JESSIE: Pay attention!!

MEOWTH

JESSIE: I need to put on a flashier and more elegant

performance to become queen, isn't that right?

MEOWTH: Pal, ya gotta help me out

JAMES: Leave me out of this.

JESSIE: Now. Get up. Pronto!

JAMES: Yes, Ma'am!

JAMES: Why do I have to get up, too?!

JESSIE: Because I said so!!

BONNIE: Ready?

BONNIE: Get it!

PIKACHU

FENNEKIN?

BONNIE: What is it, Fennekin?

BONNIE: Serena!

SERENA: Hi, everyone. I'm back.

ASH: Come on, you two. No time like the present.

FENNEKIN!

PANCHAM

ASH: See, they both feel really bad about what happened

and they've been worried about you, too.

SERENA: Don't feel bad. I messed up. I'm sorry!

FENNEKIN!

PANCHAM!

SERENA: Being away made me realize something.

You two are my precious partners!

FENNEKIN!

PANCHAM!

BONNIE: I'm so happy that you guys made up.

PIKACHU

ARIA: So these Pokémon are your partners, Serena?

ARIA: You've got such a good connection.

ASH: Who are you?

PIKACHU?

SERENA: Oh, this is Ariana. And I met her in town.

ASH: Hi. My name's Ash. And up on top is my partner, Pikachu.

PIKACHU!

BONNIE: Bonnie's my name. This is Dedenne.

DEDENNE!

ARIA: Nice to meet you.

BONNIE: Wow, you're a keeper! Although my brother's not here

right now, I'd sure like it if you'd take care of him.

ARIA: Uh, take care of him?

ARIA: Well, uh

SERENA: Can you stop, Bonnie?!

BONNIE: Well, it's just that Ariana's so pretty.

ARIA: Now isn't that sweet?

BONNIE: I'll introduce you two when we see him.

He's a really dependable brother.

ARIA: Hey, Serena. Want to have a Double Battle against me?

ARIA: You might learn a lot by battling with your Pokémon now.

And I think it would be a lot of fun!

SERENA: Battling with my Pokémon...

ASH: Sounds like a great idea to me!

SERENA: You think so?

ASH: Now that you've made up,

show her what an awesome team the three of you be!

SERENA: I think you're right. I'll give it a shot!

PIKACHU!

DEDENNE!

ASH: Serena, you can do it!

BONNIE: Go for it!

SERENA: Thanks for the opportunity!

ARIA: Now I'm gonna bring out my Pokémon.

Come on out, Delphox! Aromatisse!

DELPHOX

AROMATISSE

SERENA: Wow, Ariana's partners

POKEDEX: Aromatisse. The Fragrance Pokémon, and the

evolved form of Spritzee. Aromatisse can create many

scents, some unpleasant enough to opponents to gain

the advantage in battle.

POKEDEX: Delphox. The Fox Pokémon, and Fennekin's final

evolved form. By focusing on the flame at the tip of its branch,

Delphox can see into the future.

SERENA: Fennekin's final evolved form!

SERENA: Fennekin! Pancham! Let's do our best!

FENNEKIN!

PANCHAM!

ARIA: All right then, let's get going!

SERENA: Fennekin, Scratch, let's go!

FENNEKIN

ARIA: Aromatisse! Use Reflect!

AROMATISSE

FENNEKIN?!

SERENA: It got blocked!

ARIA: Now, Delphox, use Mystical Fire!

DELPHOX

PANCHAM!

SERENA: Pancham! Are you okay?!

BONNIE: Whoa, that was amazing. Wow!

ASH: That's what I'd expect from Fennekin's final evolved form!

BONNIE: It's so beautiful to watch the way Delphox

and Aromatisse battle.

ARIA: Well? How do you like our performance?

SERENA: You're a Pokémon performer, Ariana?!

ARIA: That's right. I forgot to tell you.

SERENA: So this is a performer's battle

ARIA: Right. And the performance is just getting started!

SERENA: Right!

SERENA: Pancham, use Stone Edge on Aromatisse!

PANCHAM

BONNIE: So cool!

ASH: Wait. It looks like the Reflect is still active!

ARIA: You have to work together!

SERENA

ARIA: The cooperation between Trainer and Pokémon, and between

Pokémon themselves is important in a Double Battle.

You can't win if you don't work together!

SERENA: Can't win if you don't work together

SERENA: That's right It's what Ash always says when he battles!

SERENA: All right, let's trust each other and work together!

FENNEKIN!

SERENA: Pancham. Use Stone Edge!

PANCHAM

FENNEKIN

ARIA: Reflect wont block an attack from above!

SERENA: Now, Fennekin! Use Flamethrower!

FENNEKIN

ARIA: Counter it with Flamethrower, too!

DELPHOX

FENNEKIN!

SERENA: Fennekin!

FENNEKIN

SERENA: Fennekin!

PANCHAM

ARIA: Use Charge Beam!

AROMATISSE

PANCHAM!

FENNEKIN?!

SERENA: Pancham, Dark Pulse, let's go!

PANCHAM

AROMATISSE

SERENA: What am I supposed to do? What can I do?

FENNEKIN

PANCHAM?!

SERENA: No! I can't do anything!

ARIA: always has to wear a wonderfully radiant smile!

SERENA: My smile

SERENA: Fennekin! Pancham!

of Fennekin. Braixen uses friction to ignite the twig

from its tail before a battle.

BRAIXEN!

ARIA: You see? Your Pokémon answered your heartfelt call.

Just like I said!

ARIA: Your two hearts became one!

BRAIXEN!

SERENA: Right! And thank you so much!
