It has been three days since Ash and the others found out the identity of the Princess Precure. They were all in a forest near the school. Haruka and the others were walking and found everyone, and Serena was performing with her two Braixen and Pancham. They performed by combining Flamethrower and Dark Pulse respectively. When they were done Haruka and the others were applauding. Everyone was surprised. "Oh, we didn't see you guys there." Serena said. "That was amazing!" Haruka said. "What were you doing just now?" Asked Kirara. "I was getting ready for the next Pokemon Showcase." answered Serena. "Braixen." "Pancham." "Pokemon Showcase?" Everyone asked. "It's where she competes in special performance tournaments." Ash says. "Pikachu." "And if she wins, she gets a special key called a Princess Key." Bonnie says. "Denene!" "Hey, that's kinda like our keys." Haruka says. "Excepts she doesn't transforms into a Pretty Cure." Said Clemont. "And if I have all three keys, I'll enter the master class." Serena said. "And if I win it, I'll become Kalos Queen."
"Amazing!" Haruka said excitedly. "If I can perform like you, I can be the Princess of Flowers for sure!" Everyone was confused. "Princess of Flowers?" Ash asked. "Pika?" "Wasn't Cure Flora the Princess of Flowers?" Clement asked. Haruka freaked out. "Oh, not that!" She said. "Uh… She's a princess that shows up in my favorite fairy tale. I've wanted to be like her since I was little." "I've heard of that story!" Serena said. "So your dream is to become a princess." Bonnie said. "Yeah, but sometimes I wonder if I'll ever become princess." Said Haruka. "Can I ever be like her?" 'I'm sure you will!" Ash said. Haruka was surprised to hear those words. "Really?" Haruka asked Ash. "Right." He said. "Dreams are important and powerful. I'm sure it will come true if you just keep trying." Haruka smiles and said, "I'll do it then!" "Ash is very dependable, and optimistic." Minami said. "I can see why you like him, Serena." Serena blushed and screamed. "Like him! Uh it is true that his optimism is one thing that I admire…" "Huh, what did you say?" Ash said. Serena was as red as a sunburnt tomato on a firetruck. "It was nothing important!" Serena said. "Okay." Ash said freaked out. Serena sighed in relief. "Oh boy."
Just then the bell chimed. "We better get back to the dormitories." Minami said. "Okay, see you, tomorrow." Serena returned Braixen and Pancham in their pokeballs. The boys and girls went to their dormitories. And when Ash and Clemont just left, Haruka spoke. "That's the first time. That a boy did not laugh at my dream. I think he's the first, after Kanata."
Later in Dys Dark, Shut was reporting to Dyspear. "My apologies my lady." He said. "Those children and their animals are much more trouble than I anticipated." Dyspear was not pleased. In fact she was furious. "Are you telling me...YOU FAILED, Shut?!" "Non my lady, I have a solution!" Shut said desperate not to be punished. "We can use one of those kids to our advantage, by turning them into a zetsuborg, and turn them against the Princess Pretty Cure." Dyspear agreed to his thought and sent him to Noble Academy.
The next day, everyone was in the secondary student council office, Haruka was performing her Afternoon Tea Lesson. "Delicious!" everyone said. Haruka was happy. "You've improved greatly, Princess Haruka." said Miss Shamour, who was teaching the lesson. "You have completed your afternoon tea lesson!" "Yes!" Haruka said jumping with excitement. "Your practice is paying off." Minami said. "I get it." Said Clemont. "You've been taking lessons in order to become a princess." "Oui, she has been excellent!" Miss Shamour said. "Mais…" She was looking at Ash who was eating too fast, and was choking. "Ash, you're eating too fast!" Serena said worried. "Oh, non…" Miss Shamour said worried as well. "Vous has terrible table manners. Perhaps vous should take lessons with us." "Sorry Miss Shamour." Ash said. "I'm just in a hurry. Even though I'm in Noble Academy for my journey, I still need to train." "Right you need to battle to fulfil your dream." Haruka said. "Right!" Ash answered. "Ash, can we watch you battle?" "Of course." Ash answered. Everyone was interesting in the battle, so they went outside where the battle was gonna take place.
Later everyone was outside in the forest in the middle of a battle. "Bunnelby, use Dig!" Clemont commanded. Bunnelby jumps in the air and drills a hole into the ground with its ears. "You don't know where Bunnelby's gonna pop out, so watch out!" Ash commanded. It then pops up from the ground and strikes Pikachu from underneath it. Pikachu jumped up to dodge Bunnelby's Dig. "Pikachu, use Electro Ball!" Ash commanded him "Pika-chu pi!" Pikachu shouted as he released a ball of electricity at Bunnelby. Before Clemont could tell Bunnelby to dodge, the Electro Ball hitted Bunnelby, and it became weak. "What an amazing move." Haruka thought outloud. "Oh no, Bunnelby." Clemont said. "Pikachu, use Thuderbolt!" Ash commanded. Pikachu jumped up and released a powerful bolt at Bunnelby. When the move landed, a large dust cloud rose up from the ground. When the dust was gone, Bunnelby was on it's back with black swirls in its eyes.
"Pikachu wins!" Bonnie said excited. "Are you okay Bunnelby?" Clemont asked his pokemon. "Bunnel-by." Bunnelby replied. "You did well, take a rest." Clemont said returning Bunnelby to his pokeball. "Clemont," Ash said. "That was a great battle. You and Bunnelby were strong." "Thanks Ash." Clemont said. "But you and Pikachu beat us by a long shot." "You two were great." Haruka said walking up to them. "Thanks." they both said. "That battle was too amazing. Are they all like that?" "Well, not exactly." Ash said "Pikachu." "But that's why we keep training to win every battle there is. Only then can we make our dream come true." Just then they heard the bell rang. "Wow, we've been out so long we lost track of time." Serena said. "We all must head back to the dormitories." Minami said. Everyone said bye to each other and head back to the dormitories. Little did they know that shut was watching the whole time. "Get ready, little boy." he said. "It's payback time."
