2. Ha-ha-ha!Copy !req
3. Shellos!Copy !req
4. Pika!Copy !req
5. That's the Hearthome Gym, guys.Copy !req
6. And that's where I'm going to
win my third badge. Pika!Copy !req
7. Staravia, wait up!Copy !req
8. Right behind you! Pika!Copy !req
9. Ash!Copy !req
10. Can't you slow down a little bit?Copy !req
11. Piplup!Copy !req
12. With his third Sinnoh League
gym badge on the line,Copy !req
13. Ash isn't about to slow down one bitCopy !req
14. but little does he suspect there is
soon to be a problem.Copy !req
15. Whoa, Nando!Copy !req
16. Greetings, my dear young friends.Copy !req
17. Huh?Copy !req
18. You're kidding!Copy !req
19. Waah!Copy !req
20. Say it ain't so!Copy !req
21. Prr! Huh?Copy !req
22. Nando! How nice to see you again.Copy !req
23. You here for a gym battle too?Copy !req
24. Yes, and I thought this time I would
team up with my beloved Kricketune.Copy !req
25. Hey, nice to meet you, Kricketune.Copy !req
26. Kricketune,
the cricket Pokemon.Copy !req
27. In the evolved form of Kricketot,Copy !req
28. it conveys its many emotions
with the melodies it composes.Copy !req
29. IT PURRSCopy !req
30. Wow! Yeah, a musical Pokemon
sounds like a perfect match for you.Copy !req
31. You are very kind.Copy !req
32. Sadly it doesn't appear we'll
get a chance to battle yet.Copy !req
33. What? What do we do?Copy !req
34. There's a note on the door.Copy !req
35. The note says...Copy !req
36. ".. and don't look for me."Copy !req
37. That's kind of weird for a gym
leader. Man, that's just great!Copy !req
38. After all of this I feel like
I'm going to explode. Pika!Copy !req
39. Perhaps entering the Hearthome
Tag Battle would be some help.Copy !req
40. What's the Hearthome Tag Battle?Copy !req
41. Only the most famous competition
in Hearthome City.Copy !req
42. It's where trainers from all over
the world gather to competeCopy !req
43. in a challenging tag battle that
will decide who reigns supreme.Copy !req
44. You know, sounds like fun.Copy !req
45. So let's do it!Copy !req
46. Hey, guys, are you with me?
Pika! Twig!Copy !req
47. And Brock, how about you?
You and I would really clean up.Copy !req
48. I'm in, Ash.
I could use a good battle.Copy !req
49. Then you can both register
at Hearthome Stadium.Copy !req
50. Nando, you going to enter?
No, Ash.Copy !req
51. We have decided to concentrate
on the Pokemon contest this time.Copy !req
52. Oh, no! I forgot to register again!Copy !req
53. Piplup! Piplup!Copy !req
54. Nando, have you won
any more ribbons since I saw you?Copy !req
55. I still find myself with
but one contest ribbonCopy !req
56. and one gym badge.
What about you, Miss Dawn?Copy !req
57. I only have one ribbon too. Tomorrow
will be my first contest in a while.Copy !req
58. You must be quite excited.
I sure am.Copy !req
59. It will be my first
double performanceCopy !req
60. but thanks to a good friend's help,
I can use combinations. Piplup!Copy !req
61. Sounds like a great friend.Copy !req
62. Huh? That's the friend
I was telling you about.Copy !req
63. Zoey! Huh?Copy !req
64. Piplup!Copy !req
65. Dawn! You made it.Copy !req
66. Is your leg all healed?Copy !req
67. It's as good as new.Copy !req
68. Wow, that's great news.Copy !req
69. Dawn, who's that?Copy !req
70. It was after meeting Dawn
and her friends thatCopy !req
71. I decided to take part in both
gym battles and Pokemon contests.Copy !req
72. Oh, really? Huh?Copy !req
73. Indeed.Copy !req
74. It's an honour to be able to
participate in both events.Copy !req
75. Nando's quite a busy person.Copy !req
76. He really needs to make up his mind.Copy !req
77. My Pokemon guide me.
That is the wise way.Copy !req
78. Do you not agree, then?Copy !req
79. Um...Copy !req
80. Here goes! We're off to the races.Copy !req
81. Seviper! Dustox!Copy !req
82. That's right.
Dance the dance of victory!Copy !req
83. Those two Pokemon look
too happy for their own good.Copy !req
84. Yes, that is Jessie
behind those glasses.Copy !req
85. Mime mime mime!Copy !req
86. All right, cut the lovefest.
You're both fired.Copy !req
87. Ain't that a bit brusque? Huh?Copy !req
88. It's time for those two to pay for
my loss to that redheaded hustler.Copy !req
89. Dustox!Copy !req
90. There goes job security.Copy !req
91. Mime mime mime!Copy !req
92. That's it! I'll use Mime Jr.Copy !req
93. Come on! We go together
like a ball and chain. Wobbuffet!Copy !req
94. And I know which is which.Copy !req
95. She needs more
than one Pokemon, right?Copy !req
96. So I'll unfire one
and they'll like it.Copy !req
97. Aaaagh!Copy !req
98. All right, Piplup, check.Copy !req
99. Piplup!Copy !req
100. Pachirisu, check.Copy !req
101. Buneary, check. Bun bun bun!Copy !req
102. And Buizel, check.Copy !req
103. Course I'm here. That's it.Copy !req
104. All right, you all know we've beenCopy !req
105. training just as hard as we
possibly can, so no need to worry.Copy !req
106. That's what I like to hear,
confident and psyched.Copy !req
107. You've really come a long way, Dawn,Copy !req
108. but I would imagine
you're feeling a little bit nervous.Copy !req
109. I'm feeling a lot bit nervous.Copy !req
110. My heart feels like it's racing
at about 100 miles a second.Copy !req
111. After all,
it's my first double performance.Copy !req
112. And it's all happening tomorrow.Copy !req
113. Hi, Zoey. Hey, long time, no see.Copy !req
114. Pika!Copy !req
115. I heard about the Hearthome
Gym thing. I'm really sorry, Ash.Copy !req
116. It was a drag at firstCopy !req
117. but Brock and I are entering
the Hearthome Tag Battle.Copy !req
118. That'll be a blast.
Oh, yeah? That should be fun.Copy !req
119. Thanks. I hope you do
great tomorrow too.Copy !req
120. Of course, if I win tomorrow,Copy !req
121. that means Dawn won't.Copy !req
122. Uh... Let's say I'm rooting for
the both of you, OK? Pika pika!Copy !req
123. Oh, I almost forgot. Hmm?Copy !req
124. Thanks to all the great advice you
gave me about double performances,Copy !req
125. I know I'll look great.
You know you'll look great?Copy !req
126. I can't wait! You've taught me
so much about contests, Zoey.Copy !req
127. I think your priorities
are a little messed up.Copy !req
128. The Pokemon is the star,
not the coordinator.Copy !req
129. Huh? Huh?Copy !req
130. Make sure you focus on your Pokemon.Copy !req
131. OK, thanks. I will.Copy !req
132. And you all have
a great time tomorrow.Copy !req
133. Piplup!Copy !req
134. People and Pokemon,

135. creating all kinds of emotions.Copy !req

you've all been waiting for!Copy !req
138. And that moment takes place
in Hearthome StadiumCopy !req

140. For our first round, coordinators
will use two Pokemon inCopy !req
141. an exciting double performance with
the second round a double battle.Copy !req
142. It's beauty times two,
battling times two,Copy !req
143. double the fun
no matter how you slice it.Copy !req
144. Guess who, girls!Copy !req
145. You're Jessilina! Hi.Copy !req
146. So, dear, are you ready to
give it your all? Of course.Copy !req
147. No need to worry.Copy !req
148. Worried about other coordinators?
You don't sound very confident.Copy !req
149. Au contraire. I'm confidence queen!Copy !req
150. Dear me. The sparks are sure flying.Copy !req
151. Here it is, the Hearthome ribbonCopy !req
152. which one lucky intelligent
coordinator will take homeCopy !req
153. as well as the big chance to
move on to the Grand Festival.Copy !req
154. What do you think of that?Copy !req
155. And now it's time to hear a few

what's happening, so let's allCopy !req
172. just listen to this beautiful music
and lose ourselves in its spell.Copy !req
173. Pika! The crowd loves it. Awesome!Copy !req
174. And showing those sound waves
is a brilliant touch.Copy !req
175. They both must be very well trained.Copy !req
176. Nando's showing off his Pokemon's
beauty like only a bard could.Copy !req

the high level of talent it gets.Copy !req
191. Then that means this will be a great
warm-up for the Grand Festival.Copy !req
192. Now don't get too far
ahead of yourself.Copy !req
193. Come on! No need to worry, right?Copy !req
194. Now, time for our next entry.Copy !req
195. It's Dawn!Copy !req
196. All right, here it comes.
Pika pika!Copy !req
197. I'm ready. Let's go!Copy !req
198. Piplup, Pachirisu, spotlight!Copy !req
199. Pachi!Copy !req
200. Now, Pachirisu, Sweet Kiss! Pacha!Copy !req
201. Piplup, use Bubble Beam.Copy !req
202. Yes! That was great! Pika!Copy !req
203. Her timing was perfect.Copy !req
204. Hmm.Copy !req
205. Let's finish this up.Copy !req
206. Pachirisu, DischargeCopy !req
207. and Piplup, Whirlpool.Copy !req
208. Piplup!Copy !req
209. Our first double performance
and you both were just awesome.Copy !req
210. Piplup! Pacha!Copy !req
211. What a thrill to see
an electric type and water typeCopy !req
212. work well together.Copy !req
213. Dawn's performance showed off
her Pokemon's powerCopy !req
214. in quite a stunning manner.Copy !req
215. Agreed! Remarkable.Copy !req
216. Wow, that combination of Sweet Kiss
and Bubble Beam is somethingCopy !req
217. I won't forget for a very long time.Copy !req
218. Pika pika!Copy !req
219. Sure looks like Dawn's off
to the second round. Sure does.Copy !req
220. And now give a big hand
to Jessilina!Copy !req
221. My public!Copy !req
222. Thanks much for the warmish welcome.Copy !req
223. Go, Mime Jr, and Cacnea!Copy !req
224. What a grand entrance!Copy !req
225. Mime Jr and Cacnea are moving
together in perfect harmony.Copy !req
226. I still wish
Cacnea had stayed fired.Copy !req
227. All right, Cacnea, use Needle Arm.Copy !req
228. Mimic, Mime Jr!Copy !req
229. Cacnea!Copy !req
230. Mime Jr, Tickle, please.Copy !req
231. Mime, mime, mime, mime!Copy !req
232. One Tickle's enough!Copy !req
233. Ha-ha-ha! Mime, mime, mime!Copy !req
234. This is a ticklish situation,
a surprising combinationCopy !req
235. where Cacnea joins forces with Mime
Jr's unpredictable Tickle move.Copy !req
236. I never thought
being ticklish was a plus!Copy !req
237. I think Jessie's found
true genius in spite of herself.Copy !req
238. Y'know, that can't be faked.Copy !req
239. Wobbuffet!Copy !req
240. OK...Copy !req
241. Pika. That's so creepy.Copy !req
242. I'm so ticklish, I can't watch.Copy !req
243. Cacnea, Pin Missle.Copy !req
244. Mime Jr, Mimic!Copy !req
245. Mime mime!Copy !req
246. Using Mime Jr's Mimic
sets up an incredible finish.Copy !req
247. The power, impressiveness
and joy of Jessilina's performanceCopy !req
248. adds up to three out of three.Copy !req
249. Make it four for remarkable!Copy !req
250. She really showed off their cuteness
in a truly unique way.Copy !req
251. All right, then,
the excitement continues with Zoey.Copy !req
252. Shellos, Glameow! Curtain!Copy !req
253. Now, Shellos, use Mud Bomb.Copy !req
254. And Glameow, Iron Tail!Copy !req
255. That Glameow's fast.Copy !req
256. Yeah, and look at Shellos's
flexibility and tight movements.Copy !req
257. They're both well trained.Copy !req
258. Hmm.Copy !req
259. Now, Secret Power!Copy !req
260. What's that? Secret Power is
a great move that can changeCopy !req
261. depending on the surroundings.Copy !req
262. Now this time it seems to
have created some sort ofCopy !req
263. paralysing light. So that's got
to be part of a combination.Copy !req
264. Glameow, use Shadow Claw!Copy !req
265. Wow! Shadow Claw has absorbed
the Secret Power and is giving offCopy !req
266. a dazzling light! Gorgeous!Copy !req
267. What a move!Copy !req
268. Now, Shellos, Water Pulse, let's go.Copy !req
269. Shellos!Copy !req
270. Glameow, your turn!Copy !req
271. Meow!Copy !req
272. They split that Water Pulse in two.Copy !req
273. Pika!Copy !req
274. And the sole purpose of
that whole thing was toCopy !req
275. make both of her Pokemon shine.
All I can say is well done.Copy !req
276. Glameow and Shellos's sharp
and bold movements had me rivetedCopy !req
277. in my seat and held me transfixed
until the dramatic big finish.Copy !req
278. And remarkable!Copy !req
279. The way her Pokemon shone,
their precision movesCopy !req
280. and the sense of completion
were just marvellous.Copy !req
281. And that's it, the end to our
super exciting preliminary round,Copy !req
282. so hold tight, the results will
be presented in just a sec.Copy !req
283. You were great and I'm sure
Buneary's going to give meCopy !req
284. an awesome performance
like you two did.Copy !req
285. Piplup!Copy !req
286. On to round two.Copy !req
287. Let's give it our best. Buneary!Copy !req
288. Dawn. Pika!Copy !req
289. Hey there, guys. How were we?Copy !req
290. I thought every one of you
nailed it. See?Copy !req
291. All that training really paid off.Copy !req
292. Pika pika! Piplup!Copy !req
293. I'm feeling really
confident this time.Copy !req
294. That second ribbon
is as good as mine.Copy !req
295. No doubt it's going to be me
and Zoey in the final round.Copy !req
296. Now slow down, Dawn. We have to
get past the first round.Copy !req
297. Yeah.Copy !req
298. Keep clucking and
you won't notice when I win.Copy !req
299. And now the moment
you've been waiting for.Copy !req
300. Here are the eight coordinators
who've made it through. Huh?Copy !req
301. These eight lucky contestantsCopy !req
302. have so impressed our judges
with their double performancesCopy !req
303. that they're going on
to be part of round two,Copy !req
304. the exciting double battle!Copy !req
305. Aah...Copy !req
306. JESSIE GIGGLESCopy !req
307. THEY SIGHCopy !req
308. These sorts of things happen. Meow!Copy !req
309. I made it through,
I made it through!Copy !req
310. Don't feel bad, kid.
You were pretty goodCopy !req
311. but I was better. Ha-ha-ha!Copy !req
312. Piplup! I'm sorry I let you down.Copy !req
313. You all worked just as hard
as you could. Buneary?Copy !req
314. Dawn, you were really good.
Remember, you were in perfect syncCopy !req
315. with Pachirisu and Piplup
the whole performance.Copy !req
316. OK, then why did we lose?Copy !req
317. Uh... Pika.Copy !req
318. Dawn!Copy !req
319. It's fine, you don't have
to say anything.Copy !req
320. Piplup?Copy !req
321. I said it's fine!Copy !req
322. Uh...Copy !req
323. I'm sorry.Copy !req
324. Dawn! Pika.Copy !req
325. Ash, hold on.Copy !req
326. She just needs a little time.Copy !req
327. Ladies and gentlemen,
it's time for round two.Copy !req
328. Get ready, you're about to thrill to
the exciting Hearthome CityCopy !req
329. double battle competition, so
hold on to your seats and let's go!Copy !req
330. X-Scissor.Copy !req
331. Seviper...Copy !req
332. And Nando wins, so it's off to
the finals with a powerful move.Copy !req
333. No fair!
I guess she was no match for him.Copy !req
334. Like we're not going to be for her.Copy !req
335. Wobbuffet!Copy !req
336. Huh? Piplup?Copy !req
337. Hi, Piplup.Copy !req
338. Huh? Hey, guys.
The finals are about to start.Copy !req
339. It's going to be Nando and Zoey.Copy !req
340. Huh?Copy !req
341. And now for our final round.Copy !req
342. On my right, it's Nando!Copy !req
343. And on my left,
ready to battle, it's Zoey!Copy !req
344. We've got five minutes on the clock.
Let's go!Copy !req
345. Dawn must feel pretty bad.Copy !req
346. Yeah, Zoey does too.Copy !req
347. But they have each other
to talk about stuff with.Copy !req
348. Poor Zoey. She got so close
to winning the whole thing.Copy !req
349. Do you want us to go get Dawn?Copy !req
350. I think it's best
if I leave her alone right now.Copy !req
351. I know, she'll be fine.Copy !req
352. You see, having a friend
instead of me to talk toCopy !req
353. is the best thing for her.Copy !req
354. That Nando is sure
something else, you know.Copy !req
355. The way he's chosen to compete
in contests and gym battles,Copy !req
356. it's like he knows it's his destiny.Copy !req
357. I could never do that,
I'll tell you.Copy !req
358. Well, at least you didn't lose
in the first round, now, did you?Copy !req
359. Will you cut that out? Sorry.Copy !req
360. I was afraid I wasn't going to
make it past the first round too,Copy !req
361. you know. When that happens,
I know what to do.Copy !req
362. I just hug my Pokemon and that
makes me feel a lot better.Copy !req
363. You know what? You're pretty smart.Copy !req
364. Today was a great experience for me.Copy !req
365. When I saw Nando and his Pokemon
do all those amazing things,Copy !req
366. it made me just want to work
that much harder.Copy !req
367. I guess you're right.Copy !req
368. No need to worry?Copy !req
369. It's a deal. No need to worry.Copy !req
370. A valiant effort put forth
by two good friends,Copy !req
371. with both coming up empty-handedCopy !req
372. but not when it comes to
their friendshipCopy !req
373. and a chance to take in
another of life's lessons.Copy !req
