Pokemon: Friends to the End

Chapter 95: Battling The Generation Gap!

At the Pokemon Center...

Johanna recounted the story to Dawn, Ash and Brock about her experience with her rival Lila over the video phone when she was a trainer.

"Wow, you actually had a contest battle with the Lila?"Dawn asked in surprise.

"That's right."Johanna responded. "You see, the truth is, I haven't lost a single battle up until that event and Lila's the one who ended my winning streak."

Ash looked at Dawn.

"Lila, who?"Ash asked.

"You never heard of her?"Dawn said in surprise and took a magazine that talked about Lila. "Look, she's only the top poke stylist. You remember what that is. She styles trainers and pokemon."

"Cool."Ash commented.

"Pika."Pikachu responded.

"So what happened after Lila won?"Dawn asked.

"Sadly she ended up retiring at contests and being a pokemon coordinator before I could have a rematch with her."Johanna admitted.

"So the loss still stands, huh?"Dawn questioned.

"It's fine, fun memories."Johanna assured. "These days she's doing wonderfully as a poke stylist."

"I seem to remember reading that her store is actually in Celestic Town."Brock stated.

"Yeah, isn't great?"Dawn asked excitedly. "We all have to go!"

"Piplup!"Piplup chirped.

"By the way Dawn, where is Denise by the way?"Johanna asked.

"Dennie is in town waiting to check the new arcade that they just opened."Dawn responded with a sheepish smile.

"Denise and video games."Johanna giggled. "I wouldn't be surprised."


In Celestic Town...

Denise was lining up behind a bunch of people outside an arcade while holding a notepad.

"I should have told Dawn that I was actually going to meet a awesome someone, but battles and arcades are more of my things."Denise complemented.

Denise checked the time on her Poketch.

"Okay, just a few minutes until the arcade lets people in."Denise complemented confidently. "I still have time before the contest."

Excited squeals were heard causing Denise to look at the crowd of people.

"Hey, it's Dahlia!"

"Whoa, the Arcade Star!"

"And one of the Sinnoh Frontier Brain too!"

"Huh?!"Denise asked in alarm. "Where? Where?!"

Denise rushed forward and carefully went on her tippy toes, but was only able to see a lady's black curly hair with small yellow circle clips on them.

"Oh my gosh!"Denise remarked. "It is her!"

Denise tried to get into the crowd, but nobody seemed to give an opening in order for her to get a closer look.

"Excuse me?! Hello?!"Denise questioned. "Can you let me through, please?!"

The crowd of people got more crowded causing Denise to sweat drop.

"Can you make some room, please?!"Denise demanded. "I wanna meet Dahlia too!"

Denise struggled to shove into the crowd no matter which way she took causing her to groan in frustration and sweat dropped when she looked down.

"They are so not going to move."Denise thought in defeat.


Afterwards...

Denise walked around town with her head down.

"A perfect chance for me to meet the Frontier Brain of the Battle Arcade in the Sinnoh and Johto regions is crushed by a crowd of people."Denise mumbled in shame. "Why does others get all the luck?"

Denise arrived at Lila's store only for her to meet up with Dawn, Brock and Piplup.

"Hey, Dennie."Dawn greeted. "How was the arcade?"

"I didn't go."Denise responded. "The crowd blocked my chance."

"Maybe next time you will get a better chance."Brock stated.

Denise sighed. "I guess."

"Oh well, this store will surely wipe the frown off your face."Dawn suggested.

Brock and Dawn opened the store entrance causing Denise and Piplup to be amazed by the clothing they see there including the outfit Wallace wore for the Top Coordinator Carnival.

"Awesome."Dawn remarked.

"Piplup."Piplup agreed.

"Dawn, Denise, this is so great."Brock commented. "Look they have Wallace's stage costume."

"No way, really?"Dawn asked excitedly and saw poster with Wallace's signature. "That's when he was in the Top Coordinator Carnival. Wow, this is amazing. I cannot believe she does the styling for Wallace too."

Denise looked around the store and saw a familiar outfit of a famous idol in Hoenn.

Below there was a poster of Lisia and her Altaria named Ali.

"Hey Dawn, check this out."Denise suggested.

Dawn went next to Denise.

"Whoa, this is the outfit Lisia wore during the contest in Slateport City."Dawn said.

"Yep and not to mention, Lisia is the number one contest star in Hoenn with a huge fanbase."Denise commented proudly.

Dawn goes over to the checkout point.

"Excuse me, but I was hoping to see Lila."Dawn replied.

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid Lila is going out for the entire day today."the working lady answered.

"Bummer."Dawn mumbled in sadness.


Meanwhile...

Ash was sitting in a park with all of his pokemon.

"There is gotta be a way to stay awake when Fantina uses Hypnosis."Ash commented. "So let's put on our thinking caps."

Pikachu, Chimchar, Staravia, Gliscor, Buizel and Turtwig all responded in agreement.

Ash and his pokemon began thinking, however they all end up falling asleep.

Not long after, Ash woke up and his pokemon were asleep.

"They're asleep?!"Ash said in shock and stood up. "Come on, guys! You gotta wake up and start cracking now!"


Afterwards...

At the Contest Hall, the Celestic Contest was about to get underway.

"Ladies and gentlemen, look around you!"Marian announced. "Feel the excitement with every step that we take together, we make history and history is about to be made again because Marian is back in Celestic Town!"

A spotlight shun on Marian.

"Which means of course that the Celestic Town Pokemon Contest is about to begin!"Marian announced.

The crowd let out a loud cheers.

Brock, Ash and Denise sat down in their seatings with Pikachu, Piplup, Pachirisu, Swinub, Hoothoot and Kirlia to cheer for Dawn.


In the Dressing Room...

Dawn was getting herself ready for the contest with Buneary next to her.

"The Celestic Ribbon will be awarded to whichever coordinator emerges victorious and all trainers who have earned five contest ribboms will be able to participate in the Grand Festival."Marian explained.

Dawn shrieked when she missed up one of her pigtails.

"Now there is need to worry."Dawn said worriedly.

A female agent carrying two suitcases rushed in the hallway with Lila following from behind.

"Quick ma'am."the female agent instructed. "Right this way."

"Come on, I told them I didn't want to do any work today."Lila reminded.

Lila tippy toed into the dressing room to fix Dawn's pigtail causing Buneary to become amazed.

"And the flowers have bloomed."Lila commented.

"Thank you so much."Dawn remarked and turned around in amazement. "Your Lila."

"Hold on, your Dawn aren't you?"Lila asked as she pulled her sunglasses down.

"Yes."Dawn responded. "But how did you know my name?"

The female agent grabbed Lila's hand.

"Come on, we don't have time for this."the female agent reminded.

The agent dragged Lila out of the changing room.


In the Contest Hall...

"And now, I have the honour of introducing our judges for today!"Marian stated. "First, our Head Judge and Chief of the Pokemon Activities Committee, Mr Contesta!"

"Thank you."Mr Contesta replied. "I look forward to witnessing the thrills of all the Pokemon Coordinator's training."

"And next, we have the Head of the Pokemon Fan Club, Mr Sukizo!"Marian admitted.

"Hi, Celestic Town."Mr Sukizo greeted. "You're remarkable."

"And last but not least, Celestic Town's very own Nurse Joy!"Marian commented.

"I'm very excited to hear that there are so many cute pokemon for me to see."Nurse Joy responded.

"Alright then let's get things started!"Marian announced. "We'll get underway with the beautiful and always exciting appeals round presenting our first coordinator! This lovely lady's making her first appearance in twenty years!"

The curtains opened revealing Lila wearing a purple dress.

"Please welcome the Tiger Lily of Celestic Town, Lila!"Marian announced.

"No way!"Denise gasped in surprise.

"Lila's making a comeback?"Brock asked.

"Awesome, I can't wait to see this."Ash responded with a smile.

"Pika pika."Pikachu replied.

"Now Cherrim, out you come!"Lila instructed.

Lila's capsule ball opened causing a shower of sakura petals to come out revealing a Cherrim.

Cherrim appeared in her sunshine form.

"You know, it's like Lila had never retired."Brock commented.

Ash took out his pokedex.

"Who's that pokemon?"Ash asked.

"Cherrim the Blossom Pokemon."Ash's Pokedex said."Cherrim stays quiet until its flowers bloom when it becomes quite excitable."

"What a cutie."Denise remarked sweetly.

"Cherrim, Magical Leaf!"Lila ordered.

Cherrim sent green glowing leaves out.

"Now use Sunny Day!"Lila ordered.

Cherrim used Sunny Day to create the image of a beautiful green flower shape in the stadium.

"Oh wow."Ash said quietly.

"That definitely shows up Cherrim's unique quality, perfect."Brock complemented.

"Amazing."Denise whispered.

"Celestic Town's Tiger Lily is still blooming."Mr Contesta stated.

"Which means remarkable."Mr Sukizo agreed.

"It feels like a flower had just bloomed into my heart."Nurse Joy admitted.


In the Waiting Room...

Dawn and Buneary watched the screen quietly.

"She's really amazing, but today I need to remember she's my opponent."Dawn thought firmly.


In the Contest Hall...

"Let's let the good times roll!"Marian requested.

After a number of performances, Jessilina entered the stage promising a Fantina-inspired performance while putting on a poor French accent.

"Next up is Jessilina!"Marian announced.

"The queen of the fortune and fame!"Jessilina giggled. "And today, I'll be doing something inspired by the almost as the fabulous Fantina!"

Jessilina took out her capsule ball.

"Now dear Yanmega, you're on!"Jessilina said.

The capsule ball opened causing hearts to appear and Yanmega appeared.

"Yanmega!"

Yanmega flew forward sending Jessilina flying which startled everybody.

"Oh my!"Marian said in shock. "Jessilina is flying!"

"A new spin on my past win! How do I top this?"Jessilina asked. "With Silver Wind!"

Yanmega uses Silver Wind to allow Jessilina to fly, very similar to her appeal with Dustox in the Solaceon Contest.

"Aw man, she likes to fly."Ash said.

"And this is her intimidating Fantina?"Brock asked.

"Her performances are a bunch of jokes if you ask me."Denise stated with her arms folded.

"Well well, a most unusual display."Mr Contesta said with a awkward smile.

"Of course remarkable too."Mr Sukizo chuckled nervously.

"There's no substitute for enthusiasm."Nurse Joy admitted with a weak smile.

Marian cleared her throat as Dawn appeared on stage.

"Now moving right along!"Marian stated. "Next up with have the Wallace Cup Champion, Dawn!"

Pikachu, Piplup, Pachirisu, Swinub, Hoothoot and Kirlia cheered seeing Dawn.

"Stay cool!"Ash called out. "You'll do great, Dawn!"

"Show them what you got, sis!"Denise encouraged.

"Now Buneary, spotlight!"Dawn commented.

The capsule opened and Buneary appeared.

"Buneary!"

"Use Bounce!"Dawn ordered.

Buneary did a high bounce.

"Now spin on your ears!"Dawn instructed.

Buneary began to spin using her ears.

"Those moves sure allow Buneary's adorableness to shine through!"Marian remarked.

"Great work, Buneary!"Ash shouted.

"Keep it up!"Brock commented. "Just like that!"

Denise smiled in approval.

"Ice Beam, go!"Dawn ordered.

Buneary used Ice Beam to create a slide of ice that she can skate on.

"Skating like that seems a lot of fun!"Marian admitted.

"Alright use Dizzy Punch!"Dawn ordered.

Buneary used her ears to skate on the ice.

Pikachu, Piplup, Pachirisu, Swinub, Hoothoot and Kirlia cheered for their rabbit friend.

Suddenly Buneary began spinning out of control and flew across the stage.

"Just look at that form!"Marian stated. "Uh oh! It looks like Buneary is starting to lose that form!"

"Buneary!"Dawn gasped.

Dawn rushed forward and Buneary landed on her hand.

"Just smile and pose."Dawn instructed.

"Buneary."Buneary said with a weak smile.

"Now that really showed off on just how cute Dawn's Buneary can be."Mr Contesta replied.

"Remarkable, for sure!"Mr Contesta replied.

"The thing that I enjoyed watching the most was how much Dawn and Buneary seemed to be having."Nurse Joy admitted sweetly.


At the Backstage...

Dawn walked in the hallway with Ash, Denise, Brock and their pokemon.

"I did mess up a little, though."Dawn said sheepishly.

"At least you showed how great Buneary is at skating."Denise reminded. "The pokemon is the main star after all, sis."

"Dennie is right, you managed to pull it together in the finish."Ash agreed.

Pikachu nodded. "Pikachu."

"Those were such performances."Brock complemented.

Ash, Denise, Brock and their pokemon find Lila and Johanna talking over the video phone.

"Johanna, great to see."Lila commented. "Were you watching?"

"Of course, Lila."Johanna replied. "It was quite a surprise."

Dawn, Denise and their friends rushed forward.

"Lila."Dawn said. "Hi, mum."

"Hello, Dawn."Lila replied. "That was a wonderful performance you gave us all out there."

"That's so nice, thank you."Dawn remarked.

Lila looked at Denise.

"And you must be Dawn's twin sister, Denise right?"Lila asked.

"Aha."Denise answered with a nod. "It's very nice to meet you, Lila."

"So mum said you two had a contest battle."Dawn responded putting her hands together. "Wow, it sounds like it might've been totally amazing."

"Can you tell us what it was like?"Denise asked hopefully.

Lila and Johanna smiled at each other.

"As a matter of fact the battle between your mother and I was the most important in my life."Lila admitted.

This caused Dawn and Denise to be confused.

"I may have won but when I saw how energised your mum was about battling, I started asking myself questions. Was this really I want to be doing with my life?"Lila asked. "Back then I wasn't sure of which path to take coordinator or poke stylist. Then I got the chance to study a poke stylist abroad. Not knowing what to do, I ask your mother for some advice. We decided that we were going to do what we really wanted to do, what we would be best at."

"What a great story."Dawn commented.

"You both followed your own dreams, huh?"Denise asked.

"Yes and that's why I decided to pursue to become a poke stylist and your mother decided to concentrate of becoming a coordinator."Lila said.

"I never thought you would be going to be a coordinator again."Johanna admitted.

"Well, it's all thanks to your lovely daughters."Lila stated.

"Thanks to us?"Dawn asked.

"You see, of course I find my work that I pursued most fulfilling."Lila replied. "But when I saw Dawn and Denise battling on TV, looking so full of life, the memories as my days as a coordinator flooded back into my head. So I started to think how wonderful wonderful it would be to stake earning my fifth ribbon by battling one of you."

Then if you win this, you'll be able to enter the Grand Festival."Brock commented.

"But that's not the reason Lila is doing this."Johanna responded.

"Huh?"Ash, Dawn, Denise and Brock said in unison.

"I can't get nothing passed you."Lila remarked with a shrug.

"I knew that I could learn something about myself by battling either Dawn or Denise, the same way I battled against Johanna and I will tell you, we went at it back in the day."Lila stated with a smirk.

"It's obvious some things never change."Johanna said with a smile.

Denise frowned a little hearing that.

Marian appeared on the screen.

"Thank you all for your patience and now for the results! After careful considerations, the judges have made their decisions!"Marian announced. "The following eight coordinators will be moving right along into the next round! Now take a look at the monitors!"

The screen showed Lila first and then a couple of other coordinators.

The eighth coordinator who made it revealed to be Dawn and not Jessilina.

Jessilina dropped on the floor in shame.

Brock, Ash, Denise and their pokemon cheered at Dawn for making to the second round.

"We made it!"Dawn cheered and hugged Buneary. "It's all thanks to you, Buneary!"

"Now using the computer we've randomly decided all our battles for Round 2!"Marian stated. "So have a look at our four pairings!"

The pairings in the screen are shown with Dawn and Lila shown at opposite ends.

"Now Dawn make sure it all comes down to us."Lila reminded.

"Okay."Dawn replied with a smile.

"Dawn, Lila, I am looking forward at watching you two battle."Johanna remarked.

"No need to worry, mum."Dawn assured and looked at Ambipom. "Ambipom, this time is going to be your turn."

"Ambipom!"Ambipom chuckled.


In the Contest Hall...

"Alright then it's time for some contest battles in round two!"Marian announced. "So let's go!"

With Lila using Delcatty and Dawn using Ambipom, they both make it to the final round.

"So after round after round with some fierce battling, we now come to the final round!"Marian announced. "Over here we have Lila and over there it's Dawn!"

Pikachu, Piplup, Pachirisu, Swinub, Hoothoot and Kirlia cheered at Dawn.

"Go for it, Dawn!"Ash encouraged.

"You can do it!"Denise called out.

"Don't forget your mum will be watching too!"Brock reminded.


Back in Twinleaf Town...

Johanna was watching TV with Glameow.


At the Contest Hall...

"If I win I get my third ribbon like Dennie."Dawn thought. "But even my mum lost to Lila, can I really pull this off?"

"It's time Dawn."Lila thought with a smirk. "Let's give everything we got and no regrets."

"Of course, If I lose I can just train some more, relax!"Dawn thought as she slapped her cheeks and said. "No need to worry!"

"They've got five minutes!"Marian admitted. "Let's go!"

5:00

"Ambipom, spotlight!"Dawn remarked.

The capsule ball opened and Ambipom appeared.

"Ambipom!"

"Delcatty, out you come!"Lila instructed.

The capsule ball opened and Delcatty appeared.

"Ambipom use Swift!"Dawn ordered.

Ambipom twirled around and used Swift.

"Substitute!"Lila ordered.

Delcatty got hit by Ambipom's Swift.

"Way da go-"Dawn started.

When the smoke cleared, it showed Delcatty disappeared.

"That was a Delcatty substitute."Brock stated. "Wow."

"Where is the real one?"Ash asked.

"There!"Denise answered.

Delcatty appeared behind Ambipom.

"Now use Shock Wave!"Lila ordered.

Delcatty wrapped himself up in Ambipom's tails and uses Shock Wave, creating a rainbow flower across the stage.

"Well done, Delcatty! Yes and the flowers have bloomed!"Lila stated as she took out a fan and then posed.

"And there it is!"Marian announced. "The famous Tiger Lily Smile!"

Dawn began to lose a few points.


In Twinleaf Town...

Johanna was pumped at the sight of the battle on the television.

"Amazing, just like twenty years ago."Johanna complemented. "Wow even I am pumped up now."


In the Contest Hall...

"Double Team now!"Dawn ordered.

Ambipom breaks free with Double Team.

"Ambipom use Focus Punch!"Dawn ordered.

Ambipom hits Delcatty with Focus Punch.

"After a little circle dance, Ambipom's Focus Punch nails it's target!"Marian reported.

Suddenly Ambipom becomes attracted to her foe.

"Uh oh, it looks like Ambipom's been afflicted with the Attract status!"Marian announced.

Dawn gasped in worry.

"You know guys, I totally forgot that Delcatty's ability is Cute Charm."Ash stated.

"This move really works since Delcatty is a boy."Denise said with a frown.

Brock nodded in agreement.

"Such a pretty flower deserves a lullaby."Lila commented with a smile. "Alright, Delcatty. Sing, please."

Delcatty puts Ambipom to sleep with Sing, which catches Ash's attention.

"Look at that."Ash said. "That means Lila can use sleep skills just like Fantina."

"Dawn's got problems if this keeps up."Brock admitted.

A worried look grew on Denise's face.

"Please, Ambipom!"Dawn protested. "Wake up!"

Ambipom continued sleeping on the floor.

"Now Iron Tail!"Lila ordered.

Ambipom gets hit by Iron Tail and was sent flying across the stage, queuing another 'Tiger Lily Smile'.

"So now the second flower blooms!"Lila remarked and posed.

"And there it is!"Marian announced. "Her famed Tiger Lily Smile! The way that Lila's Delcatty uses that momentum to make its pose is nothing less amazing!"

Dawn began to lose more points.

2:42

Ambipom was still asleep on the battlefield.

"Ambipom, you've got to wake up!"Dawn begged.

"I'm afraid a flower of cruel beauty is about to blossom!"Lila warned. "Shock Wave!"

Delcatty leapt up and attacks Ambipom with Shock Wave.

Dawn lost more points and Ambipom woke up.

"Ambipom is wake, yeah!"Brock chuckled.

"That's good."Denise said gently.

"Get back into it, Dawn!"Ash commented.

"Pika pika!"Pikachu cheered.

"Swift, let's go!"Dawn ordered.

Ambipom attacked with Swift.

"Substitute!"Lila ordered.

Ambipom counters with Swift, which Delcatty dodged the way he did before with Substitute.

The Long Tail Pokemon appeared behind Delcatty.

"Now use Double Hit!"Dawn appeared.

Ambipom managed to strike back with Double Hit, however she gets affected by Cute Charm again.

"Ambipom's gaining momentum now!"Marian announced. "That Double Hit was spot on! But look, once again, Ambipom is back in Attract status!"

"As long as Ambipom attacks Delcatty directly, Attract status is a risk."Brock warned.

"So what can Dawn do?"Ash asked.

Denise didn't say anything as she watched her sister's battle.

"Well, I guess I'll just have to go for broke."Dawn said quietly. "Use Double Team!"

Ambipom surrounded Delcatty with her clones.

"You did it!"Dawn remarked.

Pikachu, Piplup, Pachirisu, Swinub, Hoothoot and Kirlia cheered at Ambipom.

Denise sighed in relief.

"Great."Brock complemented. "Even at Attract status, you can sometimes land a successful attack."

"Alright you two keep it going."Ash stated.

"Sing, Delcatty!"Lila ordered with a frown.

Delcatty started to sing again.

"Double Hit, let's go!"Dawn ordered.

Delcatty tried to put Ambipom asleep again with Sing, but gets knocked away with Double Hit.

Lila began losing more points.

"Ambipom did it."Ash admitted. "Double Hit had knocked Sing right out!"

"Since Ambipom was already in Attract status, so it doesn't matter if she attacks directly or not."Brock commented.

Ambipom snapped out from Delcatty's Cute Charm.

"Awesome!"Denise chuckled. "The charm is off!"

"Alright, use Swift!"Dawn ordered.

"Substitute!"Lila ordered.

Ambipom attacks with a huge Swift that Delcatty is unable to avoid, even with Substitute.

Lila lost more points.

0:46

"Quick use Shock Wave!"Lila ordered.

Delcatty uses Shock Wave and the two massive attacks collide.

"A great ring of flowers has blossomed."Lila stated.

A smirk grew on Dawn's face.

"Alright then flowers will blossom at a grand scale where the world has never seen before!"Lila stated as she held out her fan.

"No need to worry!"Dawn replied. "Ambipom, let's go!"

Delcatty and Ambipom glared at each other as Marian and the judges watched the sight in amazement.

0:12

Ambipom's Swift breaks through and hits Delcatty just as the time runs out.

"Time's up!"Marian announced. "So who will be getting the Celestic Town Contest Ribbon?!"

The smoke cleared and Dawn was revealed to have more points than Lila.

"It's Dawn!"Marian announced.

The crowd cheered at Dawn.

"I did it!"Dawn chuckled and rushed up to Ambipom to hug her. "Thank you, Ambipom! It's all because of you! Your the best!"

Pikachu, Piplup, Pachirisu, Swinub, Hoothoot and Kirlia cheered at Dawn and Ambipom's victory.

"Yes!"Denise laughed in joy. "Go, Dawn!"

"Alright, Dawn!"Ash called out.

"And Lila, you were great too!"Brock assured.


In Twinleaf Town...

"Hope you were watching, mum!"Dawn giggled. "I won it!"

"Dawn."Johanna said proudly.


In the Contest Hall...

Lila walked up to Delcatty to comfort him.

"You were just great."Lila admitted with a smile. "Thank you, Delcatty."

Delcatty purred at his trainer.

Lila walked up to Dawn, who stood up.

"Congratulations Dawn."Lila complemented. "That was a great battle."

Dawn and Lila shook hands.

"It was thanks, Lila."Dawn responded.

"And now the Chief of the Pokemon Activities Committee, Mr Contesta will present the winning coordinator Dawn with the Celestic Town Contest Ribbon!"Marian announced.

Mr Contesta awards Dawn the Celestic Ribbon.

"Congratulations."Mr Contesta said. "That was quite a spectacle."

Dawn takes the Celestic Town Ribbon.

"Thank you so much, sir."Dawn replied and held up her third ribbon. "I just won the Celestic Town Contest and this ribbon is all mine!"

Ambipom and Buneary cheered at their victory.

Denise smiled at the sight before looking at Hoothoot and Kirlia.

"We got to now train even more."Denise stated with a smirk. "This is no time to get lazy."

"Hoothoot."Hoothoot chirped.

"Kirlia."Kirlia agreed with a wink.


Afterwards...

It was now evening.

To celebrate Dawn's victory, Lila let's the gang pick out whatever they like from her shop.

"Dawn, to celebrate your victory, you may pick out whatever you like and that goes for you three too."Lila insisted.

"Lila, thanks so much!"Ash, Brock, Dawn and Denise said in unison.

The four heroes including their pokemon, try out lot of clothes and jewellery.

Denise bought new clothes for herself to wear while Dawn got a lovely orange dress.

"Well?"Lila asked.

"Everything in your shop is as nice as it can be."Dawn replied. "Again, thank you so much."

"Pleasure it is mine."Lila answered kindly. "Thanks to our contest battle, I've been able to re-experience the enthusiasm and excitement that I haven't felt in a long time."

"And I think I just might've learned a thing or two by how I'm gonna deal with Fantina's Hypnosis."Ash admitted.

"That's great."Lila responded.

"This definitely doubles up the good news."Denise commented.

Ash and Denise high five each other.

"Just make sure you three all keep up the good work."Lila reminded.

"Okay!"Ash, Dawn and Denise said in unison.
