Cynthia: So you really want to do this Dee Dee. After all, I am formal Sinnoh champion. Do you really think my skills is not up to standard
Dawn: It doesn't' matter how good you think you've gotten. I am the daughter of Joanna Berlitz. Battling is in my blood.
After exchanging words the parties headed to the battlefield inside the gym and took their sides.
Cynthia: Alright Dee Dee let's make this a 3 on 3 battle, so i can save a bit more time, ok?
Dawn: Sounds good to me I can finally settle things once and for all, and put you in your place.
Norman: This match is between Cynthia Namikaze and Dawn Berlitz. This will be a three-on-three match.
Dawn: Go Piplup, spotlight
Cynthia: Dewott, battle dance.
Norman: Begin.
Dawn: Piplup use peck
Cynthia: Dewwott, dodgh and use Water pulse"
Piplup tried to dodge, but Dewott was too quick and got it, and even though it wasn't very effective, it was clear it did a lot of damage.
Dawn: Piplup use drill peck.
Cynthia: Dewott, use aqua jet while using ice beam.
Then, Ash's old friends saw something they hadn't seen in several years, Ice Aqua Jet.
Dawn: Where did you learn that?
Cynthia: Why does it matter where I learned it Dee Dee?
Dawn: Don't call me Dee Dee!
Cynthia: Whatever, just call the match.
Everyone turned back to the battlefield to see what she was talking about, and to their sheer amazement, Piplup was knocked out.
Norman: Piplup is unable to battle. Dewott is the winner.
Dawn: Piplup return.
Cynthia: Dewott return.
Norman: Trainers send out your next Pok mon
Dawn: Typhlosion, Spotlight.
Cynthia: Flareon, Your turn
Dawn: Typhlosion, use flamethrower.
Cynthia, to the shock of the crowd just stood there with a bored look on her face.
As soon as the attack hit everyone realized why she was so calm. When the flamethrower hit it didn't appear to do anything.
Dawn: What's going on, i saw that the attack hit dead on?
Cynthia: Dee Dee, did you really not know that flareon's ability was Flash Fire?
Dawn: What's flash fire?
Cynthia: You really don't know? Here I thought you were supposed to be some sort of big shot trainer. Just to let you know flash fire increases the power of fire type attacks.
Dawn: So, you mean all I did was help you power up your fire attacks?
Cybthia: Yeah pretty much Dee Dee.
Dawn: Oh that does it. Typhlosion use double edge Full power.
Cynthia: Flareon, spin and use flamethrower.
And for the second time that day Ash's old friends saw a glimpse of the past in the form of a fire counter-shield, just like Ash used against Fantina during their Sinnoh journey all those years ago.
Dawn: Typhlosion stop. Dawn yelled frantically for it to stop, but it was too late as Typhlosion was caught up in a massive firestorm.
Despite being a fire type, the flames had gone on long enough that it was clear that Typhlosion was unconscious, and when the flames died down Typhlosion was not only scorched and burned, but down for the count.
Norman: Typhlosion is unable to battle. Flareon is the winner
On the sidelines-Ash's side
Siebold: Cynthia isn't showing any mercy today, is she? What do you think, boss?
Ash: Doesn't look like it, but the woman I married knows what she wants and right now she wants to humiliate Dawn. Honestly, when she found out about my betrayal, She wanted to do it but since she wasn't a pokemon coordinator, She don't have a chance to try.
Roxie: Does it matter? Watching Cynthia put Dawn in her place like this is getting me pumped.
She suddenly turned to Zexal and asked him
Roxie: Hey boss, Can I take down the one with snot colored hair next? The name's Drew, right?
Ash: No Roxie, we've spent enough time with these Twerps. Besides if anyone get the snot head it's Harley.
Roxie: Damn, how about Mrs. Snot head?
Ash: Another time Roxie.
Sidelines Max's side
May: I can't believe that Dawn is getting beaten so badly out there.
Brock: I would just like to know where Cynthia learned those techniques.
Misty: Brock's right, the only person who could pull of those moves was that loser Ash
Drew: Does it really matter? It's not like she's any good on her own anyway.
Roxie: That's big talk from someone who didn't even qualify for the grand festival the past two years. Heck when Harley beat you last year for that last ribbon you went so red you looked like a tomato.
With that statement Drew's face went so red with anger, that with his green hair he really looked like a tomato.
Brock: Calm down buddy they're just trying to get you riled up, So you can't fall for it."
When Ash saw Brock, he couldn't help himself but use his past to get even with the eternal virgin.
Ash: Hey Slate, how does it feel to know the loser you abandoned, was able to get a kiss from the 2nd most beautiful woman in Johto, while you are still known as the dateless wonder?
What brock didn't know was that Ash, before he got together with Cynthia, had slept with four women: Gardenia, Anabel, Flanery, and Ursula. While it was well known Brock couldn't get a date to save his life.
Brock desperately wanted to say something, but couldn't because he had seen the magazine pictures, and to be honest he was extremely jealous.
Back to the battle
Norman: Trainers select your Pok mon.
Dawn: Bunery, spotlight.
Cynthia: Garchomp, let's end this.
Dawn: Mamoswine, use Ice beam.
Cynthia: Garchomp, use extreme speed to dodge.
Garchomp was out the way of the ice beam
Cynthia: Dragon Rush.
Dawn: Mamoswine, counter with double edge.
As the attacks collided there was an explosion that made everyone on Dawn's side look away, Cynthia's group who were used to explosions were unfazed.
As the smoked cleared, both Pok mon were still standing, but Mamoswine was clearly breathing very heavy.
Cynthia: Oh look at that, it's still standing, shocking.
Dawn: Don't count us out you stupid gold-digger. We still have one move left to use. Mamoswine use ice shard at full power.
As they watched the ice shard grows bigger and bigger everyone on both sides knew this would Mamoswine's last move.
Dawn: Mamoswine, Swallow that Ice shard.
As soon as Mamoswine ate it, ice spikes of energy erupted from its back increasing its ice powers.
Dawn: Are you scared now gold-digger? Now you see that I really am-
Dawn was cut off by Cynthia
Cynthia: Boring me to sleep. Honestly, did you think I wouldn't see this coming? I saw the contest where you first used this in Lily-pad town all those years ago, and even though i am not a coordinator, Doesn't mean I can't make my own variation of it.
Dawn: Ww, what are you talking about?
For the first time after hearing that made Dawn worried that her opponent she is fighting right now had found a way to use her best technique.
Cynthia: Garchomp Use Dragon Pulse and surround it with Dragon rage.
As the technique came to be Dawn and her supporters became wary of the energy given off and the eerie look of it.
On the sidelines
Kenny: (I can't let this happen.)
And just as he was about to order his Empoleon to attack, it was attacked by an electrical attack, by someone from the press. As Kenny looked to see who it was he saw a violet eyed redhead with a Glameow and a smirk.
Kenny: Zoey, what are you doing? he asked While throwing her a glare.
Zoey: That brat dug her own grave this time so I feel it's only right that she attempts to dig herself out on her own.
Back to the Battle field
Cynthia: Garchomp, swallow it now.
As soon as Garchomp ate the eerie looking orb, it stated to glow a menacing looking purple and blue.
Cynthia: Dee Dee, what do you say that we end this with one last attack, huh?
Dawn: Stop calling me dee-dee, you stupid gold-digger! Mamoswine use blizzard right now!
Cynthia: Garchomp, cut through it by using Dragon Rush.
To the astonishment of everyone except for the Kalos elites and Ash, Garchomp Blazed through the blizzard like a hot knife, and slammed into Mamoswine and sent it flying through a few trees clearly knocked out.
Norman: Mamoswine is unable to battle. Garchomp is the winner. That means the winner of the match is Cynthia Namikaze is the winner.
As Cynthia recalled Garchomp and walked over to her friends and family as Dawn sank to her knees and began to whisper to herself about how she lost.
The family of three walked to the plane, Ash turned around to give one last message that seemly applied to them all right now.
Ash: Fate has a way of putting in front of us that which we try hardest to leave behind.
With that said Ash boarded the plane thinking of the month to come.
Unknown to him, his message sparked something in the minds of those that still love him.
