Ash was watching Dawn in her contest rematch.

"I'll keep trying till I beat them!" she shouted, causing everyone to stare at her. Contests were fun to watch. Even when you lost. Which Dawn did.

"Don't worry, you still look beautiful in that dress, Dawn." Ash said. "Did I just say that?!" he thought, shocked.

"Awww, thanks Ash!" she exclaimed, kissing him. There was a loud screch, followed by a video phone call. One of the judges answered it just as a loud thud shook the ground.

"Rare pokemon?" Ash wondered loudly.

"Video call for Ash Ketchum!" the judge shouted. "Sounds like a distress call though."

Ash answered it. A girl was on the other end.

"Hi!" she said. A violent storm was in the background. "Remember me?"

"Melody?!"

"That's me!" she answered.

"Bad storm up your end I see."

"Yup" she replied. "Look out the front. You'll understand."

He looked out the front and saw...

"ARE YOU CRAZY?!" Ash exclaimed.

Lugia himself was resting outside the contest hall.

"Lawrence III is trying to get the legendary bird trio again. I sent Lugia to pick you up."

"Why?"

"Large wave ripped apart the pier."

"Oh."

Dawn walked over.
