(Motsu): Next battle!
(Lingshen & Kaede stare down)
(Kaede throws her Poké Ball)
(Weavile appears)
(Linsghen summons Throh)
(Motsu): Battle begin!
(Lingshen): Go, Throh! Use Storm Throw!
(Kaede): Use Double Team!
(Throh does Storm Throw, but misses)
(Weavile makes afterimages of itself)
(Kaede): Not bad. But let's see how well you can stop me. Weavile! Night Slash!
(Weavile does Night Slash at Throh)
(Throh goes down)
(Lingshen): Hang in there, Throh! NOW! Use Circle Throw!
(Throh jumps up and grabs Weavile)
(Kaede): NOW! Aerial Ace!
(Weavile does Aerial Ace at Throh)
(Throh is out cold)
(Lingshen): NO! Throh!
(Motsu): Throh is unable to battle! Weavile wins!
(Lingshen returns Throh)
(Lingshen): I am proud of you, Throh.
(Kaede): You made a bad choice in the Pokémon that you chose. Too bad it was no match for a swift Pokémon like Weavile!
(Lingshen summons Ursaring)
(Lingshen): GO, Ursaring!
(Ursaring appears, as it roars)
(Satsuki): So Lingshen's Teddiursa evolved into an Ursaring!
(Kaede growls)
(Lingshen): Can your "Swift Pokémon" block a huge brick wall?
(Motsu): Battle begin!
(Lingshen): Ursaring, use Hammer Arm!
(Ursaring does hammer Arm)
(Weavile dodges it)
(Kaede): Use Night Slash!
(Weavile does Night Slash at Ursaring)
(Ursaring goes down)
(Ursaring roars)
(Lingshen): Nice one, Ursaring! Now, use Focus Blast!
(Ursaring does Focus Blast)
(Weavile dodges it)
(Kaede): Good work! Now use Ice Beam!
(Weavile does Ice Beam, hitting Ursaring)
(Ursaring stands tall and roars)
(Lingshen): I told you! This huge bear is a brick wall!
(Kaede): Nice on the defense, Lingshen. But let's see you dodge this… Aerial Ace!
(Weavile hits Ursaring with Aerial Ace)
(Ursaring grabs Weavile)
(Lingshen): Hammer Arm!
(Ursaring hits Weavile with Hammer Arm)
(Weavile falls to the ground)
(Lingshen): NOW! Use Slash for the finish!
(Ursaring uses Slash)
(Kaede): LOOK OUT!
(Weavile wakes up, noticing Ursaring)
(Weavile dodges it)
(Lingshen): WHAT?
(Kaede): Now, Weavile! Take it out with Night Slash!
(Weavile does Night Slash)
(Ursaring is hit severely)
(Kaede): Now finish with Ice Beam!
(Weavile fires an Ice Beam at Ursaring)
(Lingshen): DODGE IT!
(Ursaring dodges the ice beam)
(The Ice Beam headed towards Lingshen)
(Lingshen): Uh, oh…
BLAST!
(Lingshen is blasted with an Ice Beam)
(Lingshen is frozen solid, in a huge block of ice)
(Ursaring): "Chao?!"
(Lingshen, muffling): Help… me… I'm cold…
(Motsu): WOW! What a turnaround!
(Kaede): Nicely done, Weavile!
(Asuna): No way! That's against the rules!
(Haruna): She overdid it!
(Nodoka): Not exactly. The Ice Beam was intended for Ursaring. It was out of coincidence. Chao suddenly felt the attack.
(Negi): Yes, but that would really hurt. If she'd taken the blast for Ursaring, then it would be against the rules.
(Lingshen is still frozen, as Ako and Yuna examine the huge ice)
(Yuna waves to Motsu)
(Yuna): It's going to take a couple of hours to defrost her. This match is over!
(Yue): NO! We need a fire Pokémon to defrost her! It's just not right.
(Motsu): Indeed. But I'm calling it. Lingshen forfeits! The winner of the match is-.
(Asuna): SHUT UP, WART BREATH! Just because of ONE technicality…
(Asuna summons Pignite)
(Asuna): Pignite! Melt Chao with Flamethrower!
(Pignite): "Right!"
(Pignite does Flamethrower, melting the ice, around Lingshen)
(Lingshen is free)
(Lingshen): Ahhh! That's more like it!
(Asuna withdraws Pignite)
(Lingshen smirks evilly)
(Lingshen): Okay, Kaede! Now for Round 2! You can best me with that Ice Beam, but you can never stop the Chao Bao Zi!
(Asuna and Nodoka fall in a THUD)
(Kaede): We'll see about that! Weavile, Night Slash!
(Weavile does Night Slash)
(Lingshen): Ursaring! Covet!
(Ursaring does Covet)
(Weavile goes down)
(Kaede): Weavile, no!
(Lingshen): NOW! Finish it off with-! Ah… Ah…
(Lingshen begins to sneeze)
(Lingshen): AAAAAAH-CHOOOOO!
(Lingshen sneezes)
(All): … … …
(Lingshen): Excuse me.
(Lingshen is flushed in her cheeks)
(Negi): Oh, no! That ice attack! When Asuna freed her, she someone got a fever!
(Ayaka, sarcastically): Nice work, Bells…
(Asuna, nervously): Uh… Whoops.
(Lingshen): No fever is getting the best of me! Ursaring! Finish it off with Slash!
(Kaede): That's where you're wrong!
(Weavile does Double Team)
(Lingshen): Huh? Not again!
(Kaede): NOW! Run around Ursaring!
(Weaviles run around Ursaring, making it dizzy)
(Lingshen): We got that thing right where it counts! Take it out with Hammer Arm!
(Ursaring slams a Hammer Arm down on an afterimage)
(Lingshen): I missed?
(Kaede): NOW! Aerial Ace!
(Weavile appears from behind and does Aerial Ace)
(Lingshen): BEHIND YOU!
(Ursaring turns around)
(Weavile hits Ursaring with the Aerial Ace)
(Ursaring falls to the ground, out cold)
(Lingshen): NOOOOO!
(Lingshen sneezes again)
(Motsu): Ursaring is unable to battle! Weavile wins it again! The winner of the match is… Kaede!
(Weavile celebrates, as Kaede smiles)
(Fuka & Fumika): YAY! Kaede won! Kaede won!
(Lingshen returns Ursaring)
(Lingshen): You did great, Ursaring. I'm sorry about that match.
(Kaede went to Lingshen)
(Kaede): Hey. Sorry about that attack on you. You forgive me?
(Lingshen shakes Kaede's hand)
(Kaede): And I hope we could have another battle again, soon.
(Lingshen): Sure… Why not?
(Lingshen leaves, as Yuna and Ako carry her)
(Yuna): Hang on, Lingshen. You'll feel better, soon.
(Lingshen): Yeah. I'll be fine… I just-. ACHOO!
(Setsuna): I guess ice does that to you, on a beautiful day.
(Nodoka): It's nice that she went through the trouble…
(Yue): It's kinda sad that Kaede defeated Lingshen by only using her Weavile, I'd say it was a "ninja" fast battle
(Setsuna): 25 points!
(Motsu): The round is over! The semifinals will begin, in a few minutes!
(The girls leave, as Negi and Nodoka walked together)
(Negi): Any luck on that egg?
(Nodoka): Not yet. But while we wait, let's have a little get together with the egg. I figured it needed some care and love.
(Negi): Oh, no, thanks. I should go train for my next match. And you should, too.
(Nodoka): Oh… Okay… Thanks…
(Negi leaves, as Nodoka whimpers a bit)
(Nodoka, to the egg): Don't worry. No one must know… yet…
(Yue watches on, behind the tree, feeling worried)
(Yue): Nodoka…
(Back at the field)
(Haruna is practicing with her Piplup)
(Haruna): You're doing great. Give it more on the Drill Peck.
(Piplup does Drill Peck on the tree)
(Haruna): You're doing great!
(A Taillow flies by)
(Haruna looks up)
(Haruna): Who's that Pokémon?
(Piplup): A Taillow?
(Haruna): It looks cute, flying up there.
(Haruna holds up a Poké Ball and giggles)
(Haruna): Okay… Now, if I can sneak by and-.
(Piplup does Bubblebeam on the Taillow)
(Taillow goes down)
(Haruna): You idiot! I was going to catch it!
(Piplup points at Taillow, as it was flying towards Haruna)
(Haruna): Oh, man! LOOK OUT!
(Taillow does Aerial Ace at Piplup)
(Haruna): Piplup!
(Piplup stands up)
(Haruna): I'm not going to let that stupid bird get the best of me! Piplup, Drill Peck!
(Piplup does Drill Peck)
(Piplup misses, as Taillow does Peck)
(Taillow does Quick Attack, also)
(Haruna): NO!
(Piplup goes down)
(Haruna): This is bad… I so want to catch that Taillow… but…
(Haruna starts crying, as she remembers how she cared for her Piplup)
(Haruna): PIPLUP!
(Piplup stands up and flexes a bit)
(Piplup glows light blue, as it is evolving)

(Haruna): Okay! Poké Ball, GO!
(Haruna throws her Poké Ball)
(The Poké Ball hits Taillow)
(Taillow is sucked inside)
Wriggle… Wriggle… PING!
(Haruna picks up her Poké Ball)
(Haruna): YES! WE DID IT, PIPLUP!
(Prinplup): "I'm a Prinplup, now…"
(Haruna): Oh, right. Sorry. I should have Nodoka look up on you, since you're an evolved Pokémon. IN any case…
(Haruna holds her Poké Ball up)
(Haruna): I GOT TAILLOW!
(Prinplup celebrates)
(Yue, from far away): Haruna! Come quick! The next match is about to start!
(Haruna): OH! Coming!
(Haruna returns Prinplup)
(Haruna dashes off)
WHO'S THAT POKEMON?: PICHUKA
(The Battle is about to begin, as Nodoka and Konoka are face-to-face)
(Motsu): Battle begin!
(Nodoka's Chimchar runs towards Konoka's Leafeon)
(Nodoka): GO! Use Flamethrower!
(Chimchar uses Flamethrower)
(Konoka): DODGE IT!
(Leafeon dodges the flamethrower)
(Konoka): Use Energy Ball!
(Leafeon fires an Energy Ball)
(Chimchar gets hit by the attack)
(Chimchar stands up)
(Nodoka): Hang in there!
(Haruna): It already started?
(Yue): You came just in time, seeing Nodoka battle Konoka.
(Asuna): Indeed. And whoever wins this battle, Negi or Kaede will face the winner.
(Setsuna): This will be big. And who knew that Miss Konoka has such intense battles.
(Konoka): Now, Leafeon! Use Leaf Blade!
(Leafeon does Leaf Blade)

(Chimchar does a Flame Wheel/Flamethrower combo at Leafeon)
BLAST!
(Leafeon goes down)
(Leafeon is out cold)
(Konoka): LEAFEON!
(Motsu): Leafeon is unable to battle! Chimchar wins!
(Nodoka): Good job!
(Konoka returns Leafeon)
(Konoka): Good work, Leafeon…
(Konoka holds up a Poké Ball)
(Konoka brings out Pikachu)

(Chimchar does a Scratch attack)
(Pikachu shoves Chimchar off)

(Setsuna): Hang it out!
(Haruna): No way… Come on, Nodoka…
(The attacks continue to push)
(Both attacks explode)
(Smoke surrounded the field)
(The smoke clears, as Chimchar was out cold with swirls for eyes)
(Nodoka): CHIMCHAR!
(Pikachu was still standing)
(Motsu): Chimchar is unable to battle, Pikachu wins!
(Konoka laughs, as Pikachu celebrates)
(Nodoka returns Chimchar)
(Nodoka): You did great, Chimchar. You deserve a long rest.
(Nodoka holds up her Poké Ball)
(Nodoka): This time, for sure! Go, Espeon!

(Nodoka): Not quite! I can neutralize it! Use Attract!
(Espeon does Attract)
(Pikachu is unaffected)
(Everyone is confused)
(Asuna): She used Attract, but it doesn't work!
(Setsuna): Wait… What kind of Pokémon is that?
(Nodoka): Because it's female! She told me so, since she was an Eevee.
(Konoka): Wait… But does that mean?
(Pikachu winks, showing its tail, with a heart on it)
(Konoka blushes is joy)
(Konoka): Oh, my, goodness!
(Setsuna): I don't believe it.

(They both hug, as everyone was applauding)
(Negi): Konoka was okay with losing.
(Asuna): Yeah. And who knew that Pikachu was a girl.

(Motsu): Next battle! Negi vs. Kaede!
(Chamo): GO to it, Negster!
(Negi heads to the battle field)
WHO'S THAT POKEMON?: IT'S PIKACHU!
