1. OK, Ash, you can have
the first move.
Copy !req
2. Pikachu! Metal Claw!
Copy !req
3. No way!
Copy !req
4. You blast off for a change!
Copy !req
5. Piplup!
Copy !req
6. What's that? Pika?
Copy !req
7. Awesome, like always!
Copy !req
8. Pachirisu, try storing up
electric energy just like that.
Copy !req
9. Yeah, storing up electricity
that way looks great
Copy !req
10. when it comes out of your cheeks.
Copy !req
11. Pika, pika!
Copy !req
12. The Floaroma Contest is
24 short hours away,
Copy !req
13. and Dawn and her Pachirisu
Copy !req
14. are doing some special training
in preparation for her first win.
Copy !req
15. Once you store up enough
electricity, let it all out at once!
Copy !req
16. Pikachu!
Copy !req
17. You're doing it.
That looks beautiful, Pachirisu.
Copy !req
18. Thanks for your help, Pikachu.
I know we'll get a ribbon, for sure!
Copy !req
19. That's great, Coach. Thanks.
Pikachu.
Copy !req
20. Those kinds of things can make all
the difference in a Pokemon contest.
Copy !req
21. Mm?
Copy !req
22. I know what you want. Poffin!
Copy !req
23. You deserve this for working
so hard.
Copy !req
24. Want one too, Piplup? Piplup!
Copy !req
25. Here you go. Piplup.
Copy !req
26. Piplup!
Copy !req
27. Man, you made quick work of that.
Pika, pika.
Copy !req
28. I'll tell you, you've really
got the perfect recipe going.
Copy !req
29. Mm! With Forsythia's help.
Copy !req
30. Piplup! Piplup!
Copy !req
31. What? You still want some more?
Copy !req
32. Well, not until we do
some more practising!
Copy !req
33. I said no!
Copy !req
34. I said no!
Copy !req
35. Pika!
Copy !req
36. Pikachu? Huh?
Copy !req
37. Oh, not my hair again!
Copy !req
38. Hey, Dee-Dee! Dee-Dee?
Copy !req
39. Dee-Dee? Dee-Dee?
Copy !req
40. Only one guy knows that name!
Copy !req
41. That's right! Good to see you, kid.
Copy !req
42. Kenny, it IS you!
And loving that do! Huh?
Copy !req
43. Anybody can have a bad hair day!
Copy !req
44. Dee-Dee, huh? Yeah.
Copy !req
45. What do you know?
Dee-Dee's got herself a Pikachu.
Copy !req
46. Pika?
Copy !req
47. Dee-Dee's all grown-up.
Copy !req
48. Kenny, stop! And you stop calling me
Dee-Dee, too!
Copy !req
49. Also, this is not MY Pikachu either.
Copy !req
50. Cos it's his!
And my name's Ash.
Copy !req
51. Pika, Pikachu. My name's Brock.
Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
52. Yeah, nice to meet you.
Copy !req
53. See, we've been travelling together
for a long time. What? With them?
Copy !req
54. Now, presenting your fave
winning coordinator!
Copy !req
55. Can't you see the terrain is teeming
with tempting Pokemon? Your point?
Copy !req
56. What do I have to do?
Draw you a map?
Copy !req
57. James and Meowth are to be my
Pokemon contestant consultants,
Copy !req
58. and I want you to bring me whatever
Pokemon they recommend.
Copy !req
59. I think your pigtails are too tight.
Copy !req
60. I have no time to do the legwork.
Copy !req
61. I've already made the appointments
to get my hair foiled
Copy !req
62. and my face done.
Copy !req
63. Of course, can't forget about these
nails! Wobbuffet!
Copy !req
64. Jessie's right. We can't forget.
Copy !req
65. Kenny left from Twinleaf Town to
start on his journey before I did.
Copy !req
66. We've known each other
since nursery school
Copy !req
67. and we used to play together a lot.
Copy !req
68. I'm trying to remember your first
Pokemon. I'll show ya. Huh?
Copy !req
69. Come on out and meet everybody!
Copy !req
70. Prinplup! Wow, a Prinplup!
Copy !req
71. Then that means you chose a Piplup
for your starter Pokemon.
Copy !req
72. Prinplup, the penguin
Pokemon.
Copy !req
73. And the above form of Piplup.
Copy !req
74. One blow from its wings is strong
enough to knock down trees.
Copy !req
75. Piplup! Piplup!
Copy !req
76. Prinplup! What was that for?
Copy !req
77. Uh, sorry, but sometimes Prinplup
gets a little freaked out
Copy !req
78. if anyone gets in its space. Piplup!
Copy !req
79. I'm the only one Prinplup
doesn't have a problem with. Plup.
Copy !req
80. Piplup! Prinplup!
Copy !req
81. Pip!
Copy !req
82. They're acting just like rivals.
Pika, pika.
Copy !req
83. Aw, why not just get along?
Copy !req
84. Well, they're both Penguin Pokemon,
remember?
Copy !req
85. And tempers at times can get
pretty hot.
Copy !req
86. Prinplup in particular
aren't thrilled being with others.
Copy !req
87. I saw you using Piplup
over at the Jubilife Contest.
Copy !req
88. Were you copying me?
I wouldn't copy you ever!
Copy !req
89. Piplup and I were made for
each other.
Copy !req
90. Isn't that right, sweetie? Piplup!
Copy !req
91. You were at the Jubilife Contest?
Were you competing or just watching?
Copy !req
92. Uh, excuse me. My match was on TV,
so why weren't you watching?
Copy !req
93. Guess I was busy.
Copy !req
94. Wow, I can't see you as
a coordinator. That...
Copy !req
95. Well, unlike you, I've already made
it to the final. Wow! You did?
Copy !req
96. Amazing!
Copy !req
97. It was at the contest
right before Jubilife City
Copy !req
98. and I thought I had my first ribbon.
Copy !req
99. But then I came up against
an opponent
Copy !req
100. so powerful I didn't have a chance.
Copy !req
101. She had a Glameow and her name
was Zoe.
Copy !req
102. Zoey beat you as well, remember?
Copy !req
103. So, Zoey beat both of us. Pip?
Copy !req
104. At the Jubilife Contest,
Zoey told me
Copy !req
105. she had just one ribbon, so she must
have won that one off of you.
Copy !req
106. I think Zoe was really strong.
Pika, pika.
Copy !req
107. She had great combinations to spare.
Copy !req
108. Are you competing here?
Copy !req
109. No, not this time.
Copy !req
110. You see, Ash is aiming to win
the Sinnoh League
Copy !req
111. and Brock's a Pokemon breeder.
But you were in Jubilife, right?
Copy !req
112. I had some fun with contests, but
no doubt it's gym battles for me.
Copy !req
113. So, you guys first hooked up in
Jubilife, then? Uh-uh. Before that.
Copy !req
114. We first met after I rescued Ash's
Pikachu for him,
Copy !req
115. and later I watched Ash battle
at the Oreburgh Gym two whole
Copy !req
116. times before he finally
earned his first badge in Sinnoh.
Copy !req
117. Hm.
Copy !req
118. What's up? Nothing.
Copy !req
119. See, I'm sure you've
got your stories,
Copy !req
120. but they don't hold a candle
to my Dawn one.
Copy !req
121. You wouldn't dare! When it comes to
stories, I've got tonnes of 'em.
Copy !req
122. Like what? Hey, we're all ears.
Piplup!
Copy !req
123. Kenny, do you have to?
They'll love it.
Copy !req
124. One time, Dawn's mom made her get
this haircut that she
Copy !req
125. couldn't stand. So, Dawn tried
to cut it herself.
Copy !req
126. You can't believe how it turned out.
Copy !req
127. She looked just like a Chimchar.
Copy !req
128. A Chimchar?
Copy !req
129. Can we all try and grow up?
Copy !req
130. That happened way, way back
in nursery school!
Copy !req
131. Oh, yeah. Man, how about the play
we did right around the same time?
Copy !req
132. Ah! Ah! Ah! Achoo!
Copy !req
133. What a sneeze. What a riot.
Copy !req
134. Oh, great!
Laugh at a little girl!
Copy !req
135. And then there was the time she came
to school in her pyjamas.
Copy !req
136. She was wearing two different shoes
and you'll never
Copy !req
137. guess what she said.
Copy !req
138. "No need to worry," right?
Hey, how did you know?
Copy !req
139. Well, let's say I've heard it
before. Pika!
Copy !req
140. She's been saying that
since day one. I HAVE HAD IT!
Copy !req
141. If you think I'm the way I was
back then,
Copy !req
142. you've got another thing coming.
Copy !req
143. I'll show you a real Pokemon
battle! Piplup!
Copy !req
144. What I want is a battle against
that Pikachu. What, with me? Pika?
Copy !req
145. Did you hear what I said or not?
Lup!
Copy !req
146. Look, I want to make
Prinplup stronger
Copy !req
147. so I want to battle someone
with some real oomph. Prinplup.
Copy !req
148. You may have started your journey
first, but what a baby.
Copy !req
149. Come on, Dawn. He challenged me
and I'm doing it! Pikachu!
Copy !req
150. Let's keep it simple.
One-on-one. Right.
Copy !req
151. An Electric type like Pikachu
should have the advantage over
Copy !req
152. Water type Prinplup. We'll see.
We'll see.
Copy !req
153. Whatever happens, it ought to be
a real eye-opener. That Prinplup
Copy !req
154. sure seems confident.
Copy !req
155. OK, Ash, you can have
the first move.
Copy !req
156. Then you can get a good look at my
Pikachu and an awesome Thunderbolt.
Copy !req
157. Pikachu! Metal Claw!
Copy !req
158. No way!
Prinplup absorbed the attack.
Copy !req
159. Prinplup.
Copy !req
160. Pika?
Copy !req
161. Prinplup sent the Thunderbolt
right back. But how?
Copy !req
162. I mean, Prinplup looks fine.
Copy !req
163. Metal Claw's a Steel type move,
and if it's really powerful
Copy !req
164. it can be used to
defend against electric attacks.
Copy !req
165. Prinplup!
Copy !req
166. And to think, Thunderbolt is
the move that made Pikachu famous.
Copy !req
167. That Prinplup is so strong.
Copy !req
168. I can see why Kenny made it
all the way to the final round.
Copy !req
169. Now, my turn. Drill Peck, let's go.
Copy !req
170. Heads up, Pikachu!
Copy !req
171. Prinplup!
Copy !req
172. Pikachu, Pivot!
Copy !req
173. Oh, man. There's that move again!
Copy !req
174. Now, use Iron Tail!
Copy !req
175. Pika!
Copy !req
176. Prinplup, Bubblebeam! Now!
Copy !req
177. Way to go. Prinplup!
Copy !req
178. Good stuff, Kenny,
but we're not done yet. Pika!
Copy !req
179. Wow, what a way to use Bubblebeam.
Copy !req
180. Using moves in a unique way is
perfect for a contest coordinator.
Copy !req
181. That unidentified twerp's really
giving the well-known twerp
Copy !req
182. a run for his mad money.
Copy !req
183. Well, that's a Prinplup
and it's a piece of work.
Copy !req
184. Poetry in motion.
Copy !req
185. Pika! What a power supply.
Copy !req
186. I got me a notion. As do I.
Copy !req
187. Wobbuffet!
Copy !req
188. Mine, Mine!
Copy !req
189. We need to get that dynamo for Jess.
OK, guys, you ready?
Copy !req
190. Go and ruffle Prinplup's
feathers with Haze!
Copy !req
191. Oh! What the...?
Copy !req
192. Where did that come from?
Copy !req
193. Staravia, come out and use Gust!
Copy !req
194. Huh? Team Rocket?
Copy !req
195. Don't blame us if you were too
quick on the draw
Copy !req
196. with that hasty Haze.
Copy !req
197. I don't know what you're doing,
but let go of Prinplup.
Copy !req
198. Hey, where's Jessie?
Copy !req
199. Getting her nails done,
if you don't mind.
Copy !req
200. Nails done? Hey, Prinplup. With your
power, you can get out of that hold.
Copy !req
201. Sorry to spoil the twerp party,
but Dustox's poison sting just
Copy !req
202. sucked the wind out of Prinplup's
sails super big time.
Copy !req
203. Dustox!
Copy !req
204. What? Don't worry.
I'm getting you out of there.
Copy !req
205. Not if they have anything to
say about it.
Copy !req
206. Cacnea, Pin Missile. And Carnivine,
Bullet Seed. And I'm taking a nap.
Copy !req
207. Look out!
Copy !req
208. Are you OK? Kenny? Pika? Yeah.
Copy !req
209. Who are those guys?
Copy !req
210. They're bad, they're always trying
to steal Pokemon from us.
Copy !req
211. But we're so good at being bad.
Whatever, let's just get 'em.
Copy !req
212. Just one step closer and Prinplup
gets pumped.
Copy !req
213. Stop it! Piplup!
Copy !req
214. Pikachu, wait!
Copy !req
215. You can't use Thunderbolt.
Copy !req
216. It could really hurt Prinplup.
Copy !req
217. Yeah, and Prinplup used Metal Claw
before to dodge, but not this time.
Copy !req
218. Now, don't move. It's time for us
to be sliding on out of here.
Copy !req
219. Oh, no.
Copy !req
220. Piplup. Hm.
Copy !req
221. Why don't we go for broke?
Copy !req
222. Yeah.
Copy !req
223. Now would be a good time
to make you dumb twerps
Copy !req
224. blast off for a change.
Copy !req
225. No, Piplup!
Copy !req
226. Lup!
Copy !req
227. What's that? That looked like Bide.
I don't think so.
Copy !req
228. The flash was different.
Copy !req
229. Piplup, what IS that?
Copy !req
230. I hate twerp tricks! That must be
a new move.
Copy !req
231. You think? It's Whirlpool.
Copy !req
232. It traps your opponent in
a Whirlpool and causes them
Copy !req
233. damage over and over. Whirlpool!
That sounds like just what we need.
Copy !req
234. All right, Piplup, use Whirlpool!
Copy !req
235. Piplup!
Copy !req
236. What's happening to Prinplup now?
Piplup! Piplup!
Copy !req
237. Plup. Prinplup!
Copy !req
238. Hey, look! Prinplup's just fine.
Copy !req
239. It must be that the intense energy
from Piplup's Whirlpool
Copy !req
240. is adding to Prinplup's power.
Copy !req
241. Piplup!
Copy !req
242. Prinplup.
Copy !req
243. Perhaps a stealthful exit.
Copy !req
244. We're blasting off. Count on it.
Copy !req
245. Wobbuffet!
Copy !req
246. No, you don't! You're not getting
off that easy.
Copy !req
247. That's an understatement.
Copy !req
248. Use Bubblebeam!
Copy !req
249. At least Jessie will have nice
nails.
Copy !req
250. Wish I could say the same for you!
Copy !req
251. Wobbuffet!
Copy !req
252. Piplup, you were great!
Copy !req
253. Pika!
Copy !req
254. Learning a brand-new move
right before our next contest is
Copy !req
255. an awesome thing to do.
Copy !req
256. Piplup! And thanks to you,
Copy !req
257. Prinplup's just fine.
Copy !req
258. Piplup!
Copy !req
259. Piplup, are you hurt?
No need to worry, right?
Copy !req
260. Piplup, I can't wait to
watch you two in the contest.
Copy !req
261. You're going to be great! Pikachu!
Copy !req
262. Piplup!
Copy !req
263. Have mercy. Yeah, we were looking
good for a while.
Copy !req
264. Wobbuffet!
Copy !req
265. A WHILE? Then that's that.
Copy !req
266. Looks like I'm going to have to
wing it with you.
Copy !req
267. Viper. Dustox.
Copy !req
268. But of course I'm going to have
to train you to be wild,
Copy !req
269. beautiful and gorgeous,
just like I am.
Copy !req
270. As soon as my nails dry, that is.
Copy !req
271. Prinplup!
Prinplup is feeling just fine now.
Copy !req
272. You two will be all set for
the contest. Thanks so much.
Copy !req
273. Wow, that's a relief. Good for you.
Copy !req
274. Well, you better just watch
out, Dawn,
Copy !req
275. cos we're going to get ourselves
that contest ribbon, see!
Copy !req
276. You might as well accept it.
Copy !req
277. Yeah? Afraid not!
Copy !req
278. You're the one who'd better
watch out, see?
Copy !req
279. That's what I want to hear.
Copy !req
280. Nothing like a couple
lifelong rivals.
Copy !req
281. Tomorrow's going to be something.
Pika, Pikachu!
Copy !req
282. Miles and miles of beautiful,
scented flowers intermingling with
Copy !req
283. miles and miles of excited Pokemon
Copy !req
284. and their coordinators can mean
only one thing.
Copy !req
285. It's time for the
Floaroma Town Pokemon Contest.
Copy !req
286. The one event on the contest
calendar that promises to blend
Copy !req
287. nature's wonders with
the wonders of the Pokemon
Copy !req
288. world in all of its radiant glory.
Copy !req
289. Wow, is this something!
Are you two ready to cheer?
Copy !req
290. I hope Seviper knows
what's at stake.
Copy !req
291. As you all undoubtedly know,
the coordinator who wins at five
Copy !req
292. contest locations throughout
the Sinnoh Region
Copy !req
293. and gathers five contest ribbons
will then be able to stand
Copy !req
294. proudly on the stage to compete
at the prestigious Grand Festival.
Copy !req
295. And here is one of those five
spectacular ribbons for all to see.
Copy !req
296. The fabulous Floaroma Ribbon!
Copy !req
297. Hey, Kenny. Mm? I'm so glad we
made it.
Copy !req
298. Hm? Something wrong?
Copy !req
299. Oh, you're just speechless after
seeing me wearing a dress, right?
Copy !req
300. Come on. That's crazy! Then what's
the big deal, huh? Nothing.
Copy !req
301. Don't you think I'm pretty? Now,
look, I'm not going easy on ya.
Copy !req
302. Oh! Who is that lovely lass
in the mirror?
Copy !req
303. Now for our judges.
Copy !req
304. First, it's our Pokemon contest
director, Mr Contesta.
Copy !req
305. Yes, thank you.
Copy !req
306. I welcome each and every one
of you to our contest in this
Copy !req
307. beautiful city of flowers.
Copy !req
308. Next, Mr Sukizo from the Pokemon Fan
Club. Remarkable. Thank you.
Copy !req
309. Finally, Floaroma Town's Nurse Joy!
Thank you. Thanks so much.
Copy !req
310. Of course, you know me.
Yes, I'm your humble MC Marian.
Copy !req
311. And now for the first round,
Copy !req
312. where coordinators get to show their
Pokemon in their best light.
Copy !req
313. So, let's get this show on the road!
Copy !req
314. Cool, Dawn's going first!
Copy !req
315. Pachirisu, Spotlight!
Copy !req
316. That was gorgeous!
Copy !req
317. And Pachirisu provides a lovely
electrical display.
Copy !req
318. Oh, no! Uh-oh! Pachirisu slipped!
Copy !req
319. Not good.
Copy !req
320. Oh!
Copy !req
321. Oh, my. Pachirisu seems to be having
a bit of trouble at the moment.
Copy !req
322. Pachirisu, it's all right!
Copy !req
323. Oh, no. I don't even think Pachirisu
is able to hear Dawn's voice.
Copy !req
324. Pachirisu, calm down!
Copy !req
325. That's it!
Copy !req
326. Suddenly, it seems
Pachirisu has run into
Copy !req
327. some serious trouble.
Copy !req
328. And just as suddenly, Dawn seems to
have happily remembered
Copy !req
329. something very important.
Copy !req
330. Will whatever it is be enough to
turn things around?
Copy !req
