3. with excitement about her debut.Copy !req
4. The beautiful dress
her mother had given herCopy !req
5. didn't hurt matters either.Copy !req
6. Making things more interesting,Copy !req
7. Aipom has convinced Ash
to compete as well.Copy !req
8. Adding to their circle of friends
is the introduction of a powerfulCopy !req
9. Coordinator named Zoey, already

that first step.Copy !req
22. Ah, what a relief.Copy !req
23. Congrats. Thanks, Zoey.Copy !req
24. But you made it all look easy.Copy !req
25. I can see why you already
have a ribbon.Copy !req
26. Well, I don't know about that.Copy !req
27. Huh? Oh, no.Copy !req
28. Huh?Copy !req
29. I've got to call my mum
right now.Copy !req
30. Of course I was watching.Copy !req
31. Congratulations on
getting to round two.Copy !req
32. "Thanks, Mum."Copy !req
33. Remember, this is
a whole new ball game.Copy !req
34. It's a battle, after all. Though
you still have to make your PokemonCopy !req
35. look their best. Mum, I know.Copy !req
36. Don't worry.Copy !req
37. There's that phrase.Copy !req
38. So, you better get a move on since
you don't have much time left.Copy !req

we'll get the Oreburgh Badge.Copy !req
49. Hmm... Pika, Pikachu!Copy !req
50. Ash, slow down.Copy !req
51. An Appeal Battle is different
from a Gym Battle.Copy !req
52. Hey, we can handle any battle
you throw at us.Copy !req
53. Zoey, I'll see you out there.Copy !req
54. Hold on.Copy !req
55. Are you saying you're going
to compete in the Sinnoh League?Copy !req
56. Yeah, that's what I came
here for in the first place.Copy !req
57. Well, then what are you doing
competing in Contests for? Huh?Copy !req
58. You obviously can't tell
the differenceCopy !req
59. between Contests and Gyms.Copy !req
60. I'd remember that if I were you.Copy !req
61. What was that?Copy !req
62. Who cares?Copy !req
63. Hey, I'll just battle
the way I know how.Copy !req
64. Rock and roll!Copy !req
65. Ha! Clueless twerps.Copy !req
66. There's only one winner
and that's me.Copy !req
67. Oh, Jessie?Copy !req
68. Huh? Bad news.Copy !req
69. We're the end result
of mob rule. Mob?Copy !req
70. Looks like you had a fight
with a truck.Copy !req
71. So why didn't you yahoos get
out of there while the gettingCopy !req
72. was good? Good salesmanship?Copy !req
73. OK, what about sales?Copy !req
74. We sold garbs. Then they gave them
back with a knuckle sandwich.Copy !req
75. Well, no surprise there.Copy !req
76. Hey, chin up.Copy !req
77. As long as I win,
this will be just fine.Copy !req
78. Huh? Wait, you're saying
you made it to round two?Copy !req
79. What did you think?Copy !req
80. This is Jessilina
we're talking about.Copy !req
81. Whoa. Impressive effect.Copy !req
82. THEY SIGHCopy !req
83. That ribbon is for me
and me only,Copy !req
84. and soon I'll rule the Contest
world and take over the galaxy.Copy !req
85. Wobbuffet!Copy !req
86. This is it, the moment
you've all been waiting for.Copy !req
87. Get ready for
the second round battles.Copy !req
88. The Coordinator who can show off
their most beautiful movesCopy !req
89. and strip away the most points from
their opponent in five minutes wins!Copy !req
90. So let's get started
with our first matchup.Copy !req
91. It's Ash in one cornerCopy !req
92. and it's Zoey in the other.Copy !req
93. We've got a five-minute time limit
on the clock, and we're off!Copy !req
94. All right.Copy !req
95. Aipom, I choose you!Copy !req
96. Aipa!Copy !req
97. All right, Glameow, curtain!Copy !req
98. GLAMEOW PURRSCopy !req
99. Aipom, go get 'em!Copy !req
100. And Ash makes the first move!Copy !req
101. Stay, Glameow.Copy !req
102. Why won't Glameow move? She's got
SOMETHING up her sleeve.Copy !req
103. You want to lay back? Fine with me.Copy !req
104. Aipom, use Focus Punch!Copy !req
105. Aipom!Copy !req
106. And Aipom descends from
above with a Focus Punch.Copy !req
107. Grab Aipom!Copy !req
108. Oh, no!Copy !req
109. AIPOM GASPS!Copy !req
110. Surprise, surprise! With a quick
flick of the tail, GlameowCopy !req
111. stopped that Focus Punch cold.Copy !req
112. Glameow's so fast.
That was some strategy,Copy !req
113. not moving until the right timeCopy !req
114. and then, look out! Pika.Copy !req
115. Nice work, Glameow.Copy !req
116. Now give Aipom a toss!Copy !req
117. PURRSCopy !req
118. Aipom, snap out of it and use Swift.Copy !req
119. SHRIEKSCopy !req
120. Glameow!
Aipom's not through just yet.Copy !req
121. Even in the middle of being thrown,
Aipom rustles up a huge Swift!Copy !req
122. Great, Aipom! Aipa!Copy !req
123. Glameow, Fury Swipes, let's go!Copy !req
124. Aipom, Double Team! Aipa!Copy !req
125. Aipom, let's give him Swift
once again.Copy !req
126. Aipa!Copy !req
127. Dodge, and use Fury Swipes!Copy !req
128. SHRIEKSCopy !req
129. Aipom, no!Copy !req
130. Glameow looks great.Copy !req
131. Using Aipom's attack for
a counter attack has tons of appeal.Copy !req
132. MEOWSCopy !req
133. How did Glameow get through
Aipom's attack?Copy !req
134. Not only did that
show off Glameow's power -Copy !req
135. it showed how clever
Zoey is as well.Copy !req
136. Looks like the twerp's up to his cap
in calamity.Copy !req
137. I guess Contests aren't just another
day at the gym.Copy !req
138. Of course they aren't.
It takes finesse -Copy !req
139. something a member
of the male persuasion doesn't have.Copy !req
140. Don't give up.Copy !req
141. Aipom, Focus Punch!Copy !req
142. SHRIEKSCopy !req
143. Glameow, Iron Tail, let's go!Copy !req
144. PURRSCopy !req
145. Whoa, hit at the same time.
Er, not quite.Copy !req
146. Ugh! Straighten your tail.Copy !req
147. SHRIEKSCopy !req
148. Aipom!Copy !req
149. Somehow Glameow managed to use
Iron Tail while at the same timeCopy !req
150. straightening its tail
for a soul-levelling hit!Copy !req
151. Well, we've just passed
the 30-second mark,Copy !req
152. and at this point,
Zoey has a huge advantage.Copy !req
153. Yeah, so?Copy !req
154. Aipom, we can't just let them
beat us like this. Aipa!Copy !req
155. Now, Focus Punch!Copy !req
156. Guess Ash isn't about to
give up yet.Copy !req
157. And Aipom sets its sights on Glameow
with a Focus Punch.Copy !req
158. Get ready to use Shadow Claw.Copy !req
159. GROWLSCopy !req
160. Shadow Claw? All right,
now's our chance.Copy !req
161. Hold on. That's a Ghost-type move -Copy !req
162. that won't work on
a normal type like Aipom.Copy !req
163. I don't think it's the hit
that Zoey's going for.Copy !req
164. Huh?Copy !req
165. THEY SHRIEKCopy !req
166. And both attacks smash
into each other,Copy !req
167. but it looks like
the Focus Punch is getting through.Copy !req
168. Let's go!Copy !req
169. Aipa!Copy !req
170. Jump, Glameow!Copy !req
171. Aw! And Glameow's out of there
and quick, leaving Aipom in a daze.Copy !req
172. Aw!
That Shadow Claw was just a bluff.Copy !req
173. Now, Glameow, Iron Tail!Copy !req
174. MEOWSCopy !req
175. And Glameow's Iron Tail
makes a super clean hit.Copy !req
176. We're down to the wire here.
Has the end result been decided?Copy !req
177. Not if I can help it. Huh?Copy !req
178. Aipom, use Focus Punch, max power!Copy !req
179. Talk about determined!Copy !req
180. This is a battle to the finish.Copy !req
181. Will Ash and Aipom somehow
create a miracle turnaround?Copy !req
182. That's it! Time's up!Copy !req
183. And the winner of this awesome
high-tension battle is...Copy !req
184. .. Zoey!Copy !req
185. Huh?Copy !req
186. Well, that was impressive - to use
a move that would normallyCopy !req
187. be ineffective in such a way
was just striking.Copy !req
188. Yes, remarkable as well.Copy !req
189. I forgot I was watching a Contest.Copy !req
190. You worked really hard, Aipom.Copy !req
191. Thanks for being so great.Copy !req
192. AIPOM CHUCKLESCopy !req
193. That was one of the most
exciting battles I've ever seen.Copy !req
194. My heart was beating so fast.Copy !req
195. Yeah, but if you ask me,Copy !req
196. don't you think
things got a little wild?Copy !req
197. Yeah, I guess you're right.Copy !req
198. I totally forgot about making sure
my moves were all looking good.Copy !req
199. Huh?Copy !req
200. Hi, Zoey. Congratulations
on your win, and good luckCopy !req
201. with your next round.Copy !req
202. That last Focus Punch,Copy !req
203. it was so powerful,
I froze in my tracks.Copy !req
204. Huh? Yeah? I guess
I was just concentrating so hard.Copy !req
205. If time hadn't run out when it did,Copy !req
206. I'm sure you would have beaten me.Copy !req
207. Thanks for a great battle.Copy !req
208. Hmm.Copy !req
209. Still, if you don't mind me saying,Copy !req
210. I don't think a Contest battle
is where you shine.Copy !req
211. Yeah, I guess I had to try it,Copy !req
212. but I know you're right.
Hey, get this!Copy !req
213. Ash entered the Contest because
Aipom wanted to take a shot.Copy !req
214. Aipom? That's the truth, all right.Copy !req
215. Hmm.Copy !req
216. I know what to do.Copy !req
217. Dawn, you raise Aipom.
Huh?Copy !req
218. Pika?Copy !req
219. And now our second round
Contest battles continue,Copy !req
220. as our field of gifted Coordinators
grow smaller with each bout,Copy !req
221. whittling away the competition
until the secret of who will winCopy !req
222. the coveted Jubilife Contest
Ribbon is finally revealed.Copy !req
223. It's time.Copy !req
224. Yeah. I'm just so excited
I can hardly stand it. Huh?Copy !req
225. Of course, don't you see
this is the first time I getCopy !req
226. to battle a high-level Coordinator
like you?Copy !req
227. Oh, that's sweet of you to say.Copy !req
228. So, the last thing I want to do
is let you down.Copy !req
229. Great.Copy !req
230. I'll give it all I've got as well.Copy !req
231. Now we head into the first of
the second-round Appeal Battles.Copy !req
232. Our contestants are Dawn
battling against Zoey!Copy !req
233. So, with five minutes on the clock,
are we ready?Copy !req
234. Then let's go!Copy !req
235. Buneary, spotlight!Copy !req
236. Buneary!Copy !req
237. Now, Glameow, curtain!Copy !req
238. MEOWSCopy !req
239. PURRSCopy !req
240. They've already shown what
they've got in the second round,Copy !req
241. so whoever wins this will show
they can change it up.Copy !req
242. Yeah, you're right. Pika!Copy !req
243. Buneary, Ice Beam, go!Copy !req
244. Buneary!Copy !req
245. How cute! And powerful, too.Copy !req
246. That's the name of the game.Copy !req
247. Glameow, use Shadow Claw!Copy !req
248. Shadow Claw again?Copy !req
249. But you know Buneary's
a normal type.Copy !req
250. That's true, but sometimes
being indirect works, like now.Copy !req
251. Awesome! Glameow's Shadow Claw
just grabbed the Ice Beam.Copy !req
252. Not only that, the Shadow Claw's
caught the blue lightCopy !req
253. from Buneary's Ice Beam,
creating a stunning contrast.Copy !req
254. It's a sight to behold.Copy !req
255. Zoey's using all of Dawn's attacks
to make her own moves look better.Copy !req
256. That's what contest battles
are about.Copy !req
257. OK, watch this. Buneary, use Bounce.
Let's go!Copy !req
258. Bu-Bu-Bu-Bu-Buneary!Copy !req
259. Another combination
of cute and toughness.Copy !req
260. Glameow, jump too.Copy !req
261. And Glameow springs into action.Copy !req
262. Wow! Talk about a high jump.Copy !req
263. Way above Buneary!Copy !req
264. Huh? Fury Swipes.Copy !req
265. THEY SHRIEKCopy !req
266. A Fury Swipes direct hit!Copy !req
267. Buneary, no!Copy !req
268. Now, use Iron Tail!Copy !req
269. Grab it, quick!Copy !req
270. Bu-Buneary!Copy !req
271. What? That's it, great job.Copy !req
272. Well, what do you know? Buneary's
ears seem to have a certain GlameowCopy !req
273. by the tail.Copy !req
274. Buneary, great move. Pikachu!Copy !req
275. I'll admit, that's
an attractive move you made,Copy !req
276. but perhaps you've forgotten
you always need to follow up.Copy !req
277. Glameow, spin your tail!Copy !req
278. Buneary!Copy !req
279. Oh, my!Copy !req
280. That tail has such power.Copy !req
281. Buneary's in a tail spin!Copy !req
282. Buneary!Copy !req
283. Time for a little toss.Copy !req
284. SHRIEKSCopy !req
285. Buneary!Copy !req
286. Buneary, straighten out,
then use Ice Beam.Copy !req
287. Buneary!Copy !req
288. Dodge it, quick!Copy !req
289. What do you know? Glameow's
getting slipped up on that ice.Copy !req
290. Dumb luck! Now's your chance, Dawn.Copy !req
291. Quick, Buneary - Dizzy Punch, go!Copy !req
292. Buneary!Copy !req
293. Glameow! And now let's use Bounce.Copy !req
294. YELPSCopy !req
295. BUNEARY GRUNTSCopy !req
296. Now, that's teamwork.
Dawn and Buneary are right in sync,Copy !req
297. and the audience is totally
loving every second of it.Copy !req
298. This is it.Copy !req
299. This is what an Appeal Battle's
all about.Copy !req
300. We're just passing
the 30-second mark...Copy !req
301. .. and the final stage is waiting
for the winner.Copy !req
302. Buneary, let's use Dizzy Punch
one more time.Copy !req
303. Bun...Copy !req
304. Shadow Claw
straight down on the ice.Copy !req
305. PURRSCopy !req
306. Bun... eary!Copy !req

323. .. the winner, Zoey!Copy !req
324. Well, guess that's it.Copy !req
325. Buneary?Copy !req
326. Buneary, don't be sad.Copy !req
327. You were wonderful out there.
Buneary.Copy !req
328. Excellent! The way Glameow
used its tail was a sight to behold.Copy !req
329. And as far as Buneary and Dawn,Copy !req
330. it looked to me like they were
trying to overpower thingsCopy !req
331. a bit too much. Right. Remarkable.Copy !req
332. I can't wait to see what beautiful
moves Glameow will show usCopy !req
333. up on the final stage.Copy !req
334. I'm sure we'll be seeing lots more
from Dawn and Buneary as well.Copy !req
335. I'll tell you,
that sure was an awesome battle.Copy !req
336. Pika! Sure was.Copy !req
337. And even more amazing is
it was Dawn's first time.Copy !req
338. Mm. Yeah, you're right.Copy !req
339. Don't you think, Pikachu?Copy !req
340. Pikachu.Copy !req
341. Mum, I'm really sorry I lost.Copy !req
342. You don't have to apologise to me.Copy !req
343. Apologise to your Pokemon
if you need to be sorry.Copy !req
344. OK.Copy !req
345. Stop crying, Dawn.Copy !req
346. There are better things to do.Copy !req
347. You'd be smarter thinking
about what went wrong,Copy !req
348. then you can figure out
what you'll be doingCopy !req
349. for your next contest.Copy !req
350. OK. One more thing.Copy !req
351. You don't need to call me
every time you win or lose.Copy !req
352. Huh? You have good friends
like Ash and Brock for that.Copy !req
353. You have your Pokemon as well.Copy !req
354. Talk to your friends
from now on, not your mother.Copy !req
355. Hmm. You know I'll be watching
all of your contests anyway, right?Copy !req
356. Yeah! All right. Now Zoey's final
battle is just about to begin.Copy !req
357. Mm. Thanks, Mum. Bye-bye.Copy !req
358. And welcome
to the final stage.Copy !req
359. It's Zoey and JessilinaCopy !req
360. and both corners are raring to go!Copy !req
361. Now, we've already seen both
Carnivine and GlameowCopy !req
362. using every move they've got,Copy !req
363. so how will they mix it up
this time?Copy !req
364. Our girl just might win!Copy !req
365. Then take cover.Copy !req
366. That Ribbon is mine!Copy !req
367. All righty, then, Carnivine,
use Bite!Copy !req
368. Shadow Claw!Copy !req
369. And Glameow gets out of a tight spotCopy !req

401. Thanks, to all of you.Copy !req
402. Dawn, so tell me,
how was your first Contest?Copy !req
403. It felt like riding the biggest
roller-coaster ever,Copy !req
404. but it was a lot of fun.Copy !req
405. Zoey, will I see you
at another Contest?Copy !req
406. You'll just have to show up.Copy !req
407. I've got one more thing
I want to say to you. Huh?Copy !req
408. I know I may not look like much now,Copy !req
409. but I'm going to keep on trainingCopy !req
410. until I become
a great Coordinator, too -Copy !req
411. the best, just like you,Copy !req
412. and, oooh, I'll beat ya!Copy !req
413. Well, I'll just take that
as a sideways compliment.Copy !req
414. You're sweet, and I'll be looking

going to do great, too.Copy !req
418. I'll do my best.Copy !req

a formidable rival to inspireCopy !req
421. a young trainer onto
bigger and better things.Copy !req
