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

calendar that promises to blendCopy !req
289. nature's wonders with
the wonders of the PokemonCopy !req
290. world in all of its radiant glory.Copy !req
291. Wow, is this something!
Are you two ready to cheer?Copy !req
292. I hope Seviper knows

297. And here is one of those five
spectacular ribbons for all to see.Copy !req
298. The fabulous Floaroma Ribbon!Copy !req
299. Hey, Kenny. Mm? I'm so glad we
made it.Copy !req
300. Hm? Something wrong?Copy !req
301. Oh, you're just speechless after
seeing me wearing a dress, right?Copy !req
302. Come on. That's crazy! Then what's
the big deal, huh? Nothing.Copy !req
303. Don't you think I'm pretty? Now,
look, I'm not going easy on ya.Copy !req
304. Oh! Who is that lovely lass
in the mirror?Copy !req
305. Now for our judges.Copy !req
306. First, it's our Pokemon contest
director, Mr Contesta.Copy !req
307. Yes, thank you.Copy !req
308. I welcome each and every one
of you to our contest in thisCopy !req
309. beautiful city of flowers.Copy !req

311. Finally, Floaroma Town's Nurse Joy!
Thank you. Thanks so much.Copy !req
312. Of course, you know me.

313. And now for the first round,Copy !req
314. where coordinators get to show their
Pokemon in their best light.Copy !req
315. So, let's get this show on the road!Copy !req
316. Cool, Dawn's going first!Copy !req
317. Pachirisu, Spotlight!Copy !req
318. That was gorgeous!Copy !req
319. And Pachirisu provides a lovely
electrical display.Copy !req
320. Oh, no! Uh-oh! Pachirisu slipped!Copy !req
321. Not good.Copy !req
322. Oh!Copy !req
323. Oh, my. Pachirisu seems to be having
a bit of trouble at the moment.Copy !req
324. Pachirisu, it's all right!Copy !req
325. Oh, no. I don't even think Pachirisu
is able to hear Dawn's voice.Copy !req
326. Pachirisu, calm down!Copy !req
327. That's it!Copy !req
328. Suddenly, it seems
Pachirisu has run intoCopy !req
329. some serious trouble.Copy !req
330. And just as suddenly, Dawn seems to
have happily rememberedCopy !req
331. something very important.Copy !req
332. Will whatever it is be enough to
turn things around?Copy !req
