It's as exciting as a secret base!
We'll advance

GOOD GOOD SMILE!!
Everyone, GOOD GOOD SMILE!!
Pokémon Contest! Sonoo Tournament!!
That was great, Pikachu!
Pachirisu, try storing electricity just like that.
Yeah, storing up electricity like that looks great when it comes out of your cheeks!
The Sonoo Pokémon Contest is tomorrow and Hikari and Pachirisu are doing special training to prepare.
Once you store up enough electricity, let it all out at once!
You're doing it! That looks great, Pachirisu!
Thank you, Pikachu!
We'll get that Ribbon! No need to worry!
Thanks for the lesson.
Those kinds of things can make all the difference in a Pokémon Contest.
Ah, that's right!
You want this?
You deserve this for working so hard.
Pochama, do you want one too?
Here you go.
You made quick work of that!
That's great!
You've made a delicious Poffin recipe.
With Tsubomi-san's help.
You want more?
No! Not until we do some more practicing.
I said no!
No!
Not my hair again.
Oh, it's Pikari!
Pikari?
Only one person calls me Pikari!
Yo! It's been a while, Pikari.
It's Kengo!
What happened to your hair?
No need to worry!
Did he say Pikari?
Yeah.
So you caught a Pikachu.
Pikari's all grown up.
Stop it!
Stop calling me Pikari!
And this isn't my Pikachu!
It's his!
My name's Satoshi.
My name is Takeshi. Nice to meet you.
We've been traveling together for a while.
With them?
I will be Top Coordinator!
She becomes a different person when she puts those glasses on.
But this time she just might win!
I'm pumped up!
So which Pokémon will you be using?
The answer is right in front of you.
Over there!
This place is full of beautiful, wild, gorgeous Pokémon!
So?
Isn't it obvious?
Come out.
Listen, Habunake and Dokucale. Kojiro is my Coordinator consultant.
I want you to bring me whatever Pokémon he recommends.
What will you do, Musashi?
I have no time to do the legwork.
I have appointments to get my face and hair done.
And you can't forget these nails.
She's right.
We can't forget.
Kengo left Futaba Town to start his journey before I did.
We used to play together when we were kids.
Kengo, what was your first Pokémon?
I'll show you.
Come out, my partner!
Pottaishi!
Pottaishi must be the evolved form of Pochama.
Pottaishi: Penguin Pokémon.
The evolved form of Pochama, one blow from it's wings is enough to knock down trees.
What was that for?
Sorry, Pottaishi is very prideful.
I'm the only one it gets along with.
They're acting like rivals.
Why not just get along?
They're both penguin Pokémon, and their tempers can get pretty high.
Pottaishi don't like being around others.
I saw you use Pochama at the Kotobuki City Contest.
Were you copying me?
I would never copy you!
Pochama and I were made for each other, isn't that right?
You were at the Kotobuki Contest?
Were you competing or just watching?
Excuse me.
My match was on TV, why weren't you watching?
Sorry...I guess I was busy.
Wow, I can't see you as a Coordinator!
Really?
Unlike you, I've already made it to the finals.
Amazing! You did?
It was the Contest before Kotobuki City.
I thought I would win my first Ribbon.
I came across an opponent so strong, I didn't stand a chance.
She had a Nyarmar and her name was Nozomi.
She beat you as well, remember?
So Nozomi beat both of us.
Nozomi told me she had earned one Ribbon.
She must have won it from beating you
She's really strong.
And she had great combinations.
Are you guys competing?
No, Satoshi is aiming to win the Sinnoh League.
And Takeshi is a Pokémon Breeder.
But you were in Kotobuki, right?
I had some fun with Contests...
...but it's Gym battles for me!
So you guys met in Kotobuki City?
Before that. We met after I rescued Satoshi's Pikachu.
And then I watched him battle at the Kurogane City Gym.
I watched him win his first Sinnoh badge against Hyouta-san.
What?
I'm sure you've got your stories, but they don't hold a candle to mine.
You wouldn't dare.
I have plenty of stories about Pikari.
Like what?
We're all ears.
Do you have to?
One time, her mother made her get an awful haircut.
So Hikari tried to cut it herself.
You can't believe how it turned out.
She looked like a Hikozaru.
Hikozaru?
Will you grow up!
That happened in nursery school!
Then we were in a play where Pikari had to play a Yadon.
Nice one!
Great, laugh at a little girl!
Then there was the time she went to school in her pajamas.
She was wearing two different shoes, and you'll never guess what she said!
No need to worry?
How did you know?
Hikari says that all time, right?
She's been saying that since day one.
You went too far!
If you think I haven't changed, you've got another thing coming!
I'll show you a real Pokémon battle!
But I want to battle against that Pikachu.
With me?
Didn't you here what I said?
I want to make Pottaishi stronger...
...so I need to battle someone strong.
You may have started your journey first, but what a baby!
Come on Hikari, he challenged me and I accept!
Let's have a simple one on one!
Right!
An Electric type like Pikachu should have an advantage over a Water type like Pottaishi.
We'll see about that.
It will be a real eye opener, and that Pottaishi looks confident.
You can have the first move!
Alright Pikachu, let's win this.
Thunderbolt!
Metal Claw!
What?
It absorbed the attack!
Thunderbolt was deflected!
It didn't take any damage at all!
Metal Claw is a Steel type move.
A really strong one must be able to defend against Electric attacks.
And that was a really strong Thunderbolt.
That Pottaishi is so strong.
No wonder Kengo made it to the finals.
Now it's my turn! Use Drill Peck!
Heads up, Pikachu!
Spin, Pikachu!
What?
Alright, it's the Dodge Spin!
Alright, Iron Tail!
Pottaishi, Bubble Beam!
Nice, Pottaishi.
Nice moves, but were not done yet!
What a way to use Bubble Beam.
Using moves in a unique way is perfect for a Contest Battle.
That new brat is giving Pikachu a run for it's money.
That Pottaishi might work out.
It's Beautiful.
It's wild!
And Gorgeous!
It's perfect.
We need to get it for Musashi. Ready Habunake, Dokucale?
Alright Habunake, use Haze!
What's that?
Fansub by Beatsy Ray
Where did that come from?
Go, Mukubird! Use Gust!
Rocket-dan!
You weren't supposed to blow away that Haze so fast!
Let go of Pottaishi!
Aren't you missing someone?
Musashi's getting her nails done!
Nails?
Pottaishi, break out of that hold!
Sorry, but Dokucale's Poison Sting sucked the energy out of Pottaishi!
What?
Hold on, Pottaishi! I'll save you!
We won't let you!
Sabonea, Pin Missile! Muskippa, Bullet Seed!
Look out!
Are you hurt?
Are you alright?
Yeah.
Who are they?
They're always trying to steal Pokémon from us.
But we're so good at being bad!
Let's just get them!
One step closer, and Pottaishi gets it!
Stop!
Wait, Pikachu.
We have to be careful.
You could hurt Pottaishi.
Yeah, it was able to use Metal Claw to deflect it last time.
Don't move.
It's time for us to leave.
Pottaishi.
Why not go for broke?
Yeah.
Looks like the shoe's on the other foot! Attack!
Pochama!
What's that?
Is that Bide?
No, the flash looks different from Bide!
That's amazing, Pochama.
I hate tricks!
So it was a new move!
Really?
It's Whirlpool.
It traps your opponent and damages them over and over.
Alright, we'll save Pottaishi!
Pochama, attack!
What's happening to Pottaishi?
Pottaishi's okay!
The intense energy from Whirlpool must have added to Pottaishi's power.
Let's sneak out of here.
And avoid a "this feels bad".
Hold it right there!
You won't get off that easy, Rocket-dan!
That's right!
Bubble Beam!
Musashi, I'm sorry!
At least her nails will look great!
That was amazing, Pochama!
It's awesome that you learned a new move right before our Contest!
Thank you Pochama, you were great.
Are you okay?
No need to worry...
I can't wait to watch you in the Contest.
You'll do great, Pochama.
Musashi, we're sorry!
We almost had it.
Almost?
Then I guess I'll just have to wing it with you.
I'll have to train you to be beautiful, wild, and gorgeous.
As soon as my nails dry.
Pottaishi!
Pottaishi is feeling just fine.
You two will be all set for the Contest.
Thank you very much.
Isn't that great... Kengo, Pottaishi?
Well you better watch out!
We're going to win that Contest Ribbon.
Accept it, Pikari!
Wrong!
You better watch out, Kengo!
A new rival, huh?
Tomorrow is going to be exciting.
Miles of beautiful flowers intermingling with miles of Pokémon...
... and their coordinators can mean only one thing!
It's time for the Sonoo Town Pokémon Contest!
The one event that promises to blend nature's wonders...
...with the wonders of the Pokémon world in all it's glory!
Ready to cheer for her, Pikachu?
Mimirol, how about you?
I hope Habunake will be alright.
If Musashi loses this time, she'll burn us at the stake.
We'll be crispy.
Like burnt toast.
As you all know, the Coordinator who wins at five Contests...
...throughout the Sinnoh Region and gathers five Contest Ribbons...
...will be able to stand on the stage of the Grand Festival!
And here is one of those five spectacular Ribbons!
The Sonoo Ribbon!
Thank goodness!
I barely made it!
What's wrong?
You're just speechless after seeing me in a dress, right?
That's crazy.
Then what's the big deal?
Nothing.
Don't you think I'm pretty?
Look, I'm not going easy on you.
Who is that beauty in the mirror?
Now for our judges! First up is our Contest Director, Contesta-san!
Thank you, and I welcome all of you to our Contest in this beautiful City of Flowers.
Next, the head of the Pokémon fan club, Sukizo-san!
I like it.
Finally, Sonoo Town's very own Joy-san!
Do your best, everyone!
Of course you know me, your humble host, Momoan!
Now for the first round!
Where coordinators get to show off their Pokémon on the performance stage!
Let's get started!
Hikari's first!
Let's go, Pachirisu! Charm up!
That was gorgeous!
Pachirisu provides a lovely electrical display!
Pachirisu!
Oh no, Pachirisu slipped!
Hikari!
Pachirisu is having a bit of trouble!
Pachirisu! Calm down, Pachirisu!
I don't think it can even hear Hikari's voice.
Hikari, you can do it!
That's it!
It seems Pachirisu has run into some serious trouble,
But Hikari remembered something important, will she be able to turn things around?
