"Go, Piplup!"

The small blue penguin-like Pokémon bursts out of its ball in an explosion of stars. Ash cheers along with the rest of the crowd, as Dawn starts her appeal round.

Ash smiles as he sees how much Dawn has improved since she first started contests. She's like a natural now, effortlessly dancing with her Pokémon. She really has a chance of winning this Grand Festival, Ash thinks.

For a brief second, Ash wishes that it was he who could be dancing with Dawn. But then the crowd cheers again, Dawn bows and waves, and the moment is over.
