HotXbun: Here we are! It took twenty five chapters, but we will finally get to see the tag team tournament!
Lover of Pokémon: After everything that happened after May told him that, I think it's only natural that he'd forget.
lucienhalf58: Thank you so much for all your words of encouragement! I'm sure Ash appreciates it very much. I'm glad you don't mind Ash and May just being friends for the time being, 'cause we still have a while before they become a couple. And finally, I do not mind with you burn Ashton! Go right ahead.

"Diamond", Sophie started. "This is Belle and Dawn."
"Well", Diamond started as she walked up to Belle. "What do you have to say for yourself young lady."
With that Belle bowed down nervously.
"I'm very sorry Miss Star", she apologized.
"May I ask why you did it", Star asked.
"You see", Belle started. "My friend group and I don't really like Dawn and her friends, so I was trying to get back at them. But that was wrong. I'm very sorry Dawn. You didn't deserve what I did to you."
"That's okay", Dawn stated before looking at Gary. "I know your not the true bad guy."
Gary just scowled at Dawn.
Diamond put her hand on Belle's shoulders.
"Thank you Belle", she thanked. "It takes guts to admit when you are wrong."

"Got it", Drew stated. "Alright Roserade. Time to shine!"
With that Roserade walked onto the stage.
"Let's go Blitzle", Sky yelled as she threw a pokéball.

"Good job girl", she stated.

"Oh but it is", Sophie said. "Sorry Gary. The coin wants what the coin wants."
Gary crossed his arms angrily.
"Alright", Sophie said. "Let the battle begin!"
With that everybody cheered as Sophie walked off the stage.
"Okay", Brock whispered. "Dawn likes using graceful attacks. So we should counter attack with something strong."
"Yes", Belle said. "But it mustn't look that way."
"What do you mean", Brock asked.
"Gary's cocky", Belle stated. "And him thinking our pokémon is weak will make him even more so."
"So'll he'll be off guard", Brock realized. "That's perfect Belle!"
"Really", Belle asked. "Gary never says that about any of my ideas."
"Well he's wrong", Brock stated. "Go Steelix!"
With that Brock threw a pokéball and a Steelix popped out.
"What are you doing", Belle asked. "Steelix looks intimidating!"
"Trust me Belle", Brock stated.

"Steelix", Brock yelled in dismay.
Suddenly, Belle looked down sadly?
She got down on her knees and petted Sentret's head.
"Buddy", she started. "I'm about to ask you to do something very brave. Can you do that for me?"
Sentret nodded.
"Okay", Belle said as she stood up. "Sentret, use Follow Me!"
Everybody gasped upon hearing this. [Follow Your Heart Extra: For those who don't know, Follow Me is an attack that makes the opponents attack only the user.]
With that Sentret did as told.
"What are you doing", Brock asked. "Now Blastoise is only going to attack Sentret!"

"Now use Dark Pulse", Sky commanded.
With that Tornadus did as told and both Sudowoodo and Jangmo-o were hit!
