==Synopsis==
==Blurb==
The episode opens showing the Contest hall and [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Jubilife City]]. Inside the Pokémon Center Dawn shows off her new dress to {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}, while her mother is on the video phone. {{an|Dawn}} thanks [[Johanna]], who reveals that she is missing the matching choker. A {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} comes up to the group and Ash scans it with his [[Pokédex]], before Johanna notices that it has Dawn's choker on its tail. The [[Zoey|Glameow's Trainer]] walks up and tell Dawn that she found the choker in the dressing room and that Dawn was the only one wearing anything that would go with it. Dawn thanks Zoey, before turning to tell Johanna not to worry, which,  of course, makes her worry more. Dawn then notices that Zoey is gone.

<i>Dawn's mother Johanna has sent her a special outfit to wear for her first Pokémon Contest, which is just a day away! While Dawn tries on out her new Contest outfit, she meets another Coordinator, Zoey, who has a Glameow. Then Dawn is due for some friendly training with Ash and Pikachu, and Dawn's Piplup looks good until Ash's Aipom interrupts the battle to show off its moves. It seems that Aipom doesn't want to watch a Contest, it wants to be in one! So for Aipom's sake, Ash decides he'll enter the Contest too.


On a practice battle field outside, Dawn and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} square off against Ash and Pikachu. Ash starts the battle with Pikachu using {{m|Quick Attack}}, which Dawn counters with {{m|BubbleBeam}}. Pikachu stops and dodges, before deflecting it with {{m|Iron Tail}}. Dawn then tells Piplup to use {{m|Peck}} and Piplup's beak glows, before extending, which surprises Ash. Dawn tells him that they have been practicing storing energy for Peck. Piplup then charges for Pikachu. Ash calls for an Iron Tail, but before the attacks can connect, {{AP|Aipom}} jumps in front of Pikachu and uses {{m|Focus Punch}}, knocking Piplup back. Everyone is surprised, and when Ash asks Aipom why it jumped in, Aipom uses {{m|Double Team}}, before jumping between them and using {{m|Swift}} to create a large glowing star and then lands on its tail. Brock suggests that Aipom might want to compete in the contest, which Aipom confirms. Dawn suggests that Ash enters the contest, but he is reluctant until Aipom and Pikachu convince him to. Brock then remind them that they need to enter the contest before they start training, and Dawn realizes that she had forgotten to enter as well.
As Ash soon finds out, not only do Coordinators in Sinnoh like to dress up for their Contests, they use some special effects as well. In Sinnoh Pokémon Contests, each Pokémon's Poké Ball is put into a Ball Capsule and decorated with seals that create quite a showy entrance! Ash and Dawn aren't the only ones hoping to make a big entrance in the Jubelife Contest; Team Rocket is around, and Jessie has her sights set on a big victory while James and Meowth have settled on starting a seal-selling scam.


Both run up to the entry desk and are told to put their Pokédexes into the slots in from them. Their details come up on the screen, and their contest passes come out of a slot near their Pokédex slot. They are also given a ribbon case, rule book, [[Ball Capsule]] and [[Seal]]s. When Ash and Brock wonder aloud what the seals are for, Dawn is surprised that they don't know, and then shows them how they work with a heart seal on Piplup's [[Poké Ball|Ball]].
As the Contest begins, Dawn is backstage trying to fix her hair. Zoey shows up to help her out and as the two Coordinators talk, Dawn learns that Zoey already has her first Contest Ribbon. Zoey also has a Misdreavus which she shows off in the first round with some spectacular moves. Jessie borrows James' Carnivine to make her Sinnoh debut as Jessilina, and Ash and Dawn pull off their first round appeals without a hitch. All four Coordinators—well, three Coordinators and one Trainer—will move on to the next round!</i>


Outside the contest hall [[Jessie]] is standing in her "Jessilina" disguise: an orange dress, pigtails, and yellow and red glasses. She is talking about how she will win the contest. However, only {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} is listening. [[James]] is complaining that they are broke, while {{MTR}} and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} stick seals onto {{TP|James|Carnivine}}'s face. Jessie angrily snatches away the seals, explaining that they go on the ball capsules, not the [[Pokémon]]. James then realizes that they could make money from selling fake seals.
==Plot==
Inside the {{ci|Jubilife}} [[Pokémon Center]], {{an|Dawn}} shows off her new dress to {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}}, while [[Johanna|her mother]] is on the video phone. Dawn thanks her mom for the dress, who reveals that she is missing the matching choker. A {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} comes up to the group and Ash scans it with his [[Pokédex]], before Johanna notices that it has Dawn's choker on its tail. Glameow's Trainer, [[Zoey]], soon approaches and tells Dawn that she found the choker in the dressing room. Dawn thanks Zoey, before turning to tell her mother not to worry, which, of course, makes her worry more. Dawn notices that Zoey is gone.


At the Pokémon Center that night Dawn is unable to sleep. She walks out onto the balcony of their room and calls out Piplup and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, who both yawn. Dawn comments how nice the city looks at night, so Piplup and Buneary run over to the edge of the balcony to see for themselves. Dawn then talks to them about the contest the next day. Dawn then shows them the ribbon that Johanna gave her, telling them that it was the first ribbon that Johanna won. She then tells them that she wants to show everyone how special they are.
On a practice battlefield outside, Dawn and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} square off against Ash and Pikachu. Pikachu launches into a {{m|Quick Attack}}, which Dawn counters with {{m|Bubble Beam}}. Pikachu stops and dodges, before deflecting it with {{m|Iron Tail}}. Dawn tells Piplup to use {{m|Peck}} and Piplup's beak glows, before extending, which surprises Ash. Dawn tells him that they have been practicing storing energy for Peck as Piplup charges for Pikachu. Ash calls for an Iron Tail, but before the attacks can connect, {{AP|Aipom}} jumps in front of Pikachu and uses {{m|Focus Punch}}, knocking Piplup back. Everyone is surprised, and when Ash asks Aipom why she jumped in, Aipom performs a {{m|Double Team}} and {{m|Swift}} combination to create a large glowing star and then lands on her tail. Brock suggests that Aipom might want to compete in the Contest, which Aipom confirms. With the support of his friends and Aipom, Ash eventually agrees to compete in the Jubilife Contest. Brock reminds them that they need to register for the Contest before they can continue training, and Dawn realizes that she had forgotten to enter as well.


The next day James and Meowth are selling fake seals outside the contest hall, and then watch on TV as the contest starts, with [[Marian]] talking about the contest. Brock tells Ash that he can't find Dawn anywhere, so Ash runs off to find her. In the changing room, Dawn is struggling with her hair, when Zoey walks up and helps her. Dawn introduces herself, and asks Zoey about her contests. Zoey says that she has entered three and won one. She then gives Dawn her ribbon case and Dawn admires her ribbon. Dawn tells Zoey how she is going to win, so Zoey replies that they will meet in the finals. Dawn is initially surprised that Zoey believes her, but keeps it to herself.
Both run up to the entry desk, frantic to enter the Contest. The concierge orders the pair to place their Pokédexes into the slots in front of them. Their details come up on the screen, and afterwards they receive their [[Contest Pass]]es. They are also given a [[Ribbon]] case, rule book, [[Ball Capsule]], and [[Sticker|Seals]]. Ash and Brock are perplexed by the Seals, so Dawn demonstrates by placing a Heart Seal on Piplup's {{i|Poké Ball}}, making for a spectacular entrance. Outside, [[Jessie]] is standing in her Jessilina disguise: an orange dress, pigtails, and yellow and orange glasses. Though [[James]] is complaining that they are broke, while {{MTR}} and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} stick Seals onto {{TP|James|Carnivine}}'s face. Jessie angrily snatches away the Seals, explaining that they go on the Ball Capsules, not the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. James realizes that they could make money from selling fake Seals.


While Marian shows the ribbon for winning the contest to the crowd, Ash and Dawn meet up in the corridors outside the changing room, and both run off to the contestants' waiting room. Marian introduces the three usual Judges and Dawn is worried as she can't see Zoey anywhere. However, Marian then introduces Zoey as the first contestant. Zoey calls out her {{p|Misdreavus}}, which appears in the middle of a cloud from a smoke seal. Its silhouette can be seen as Zoey tells it to use Double Team, before dispersing the doubles and the smoke with {{m|Confuse Ray}}. Dawn checks Misdreavus on her Pokédex, before Zoey finishes the appeal with Misdreavus using {{m|Shock Wave}} to create large waves of electricity spreading outwards towards the edge of the hall. Some still pictures of the next few contestants' Pokémon are shown.
At the Pokémon Center that night, Dawn is unable to sleep. Eventually, she walks out onto the balcony of their room and calls out Piplup and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}. Dawn comments on the scenic cityscape at night, so Piplup and Buneary run over to the edge of the balcony to see for themselves. Dawn takes out her lucky charm, her mother’s first [[Ribbon]], and shows it to her Pokémon to inspire them to do their best. She admits that she is nervous and just wants to show everyone how special they are. Piplup and Buneary chirp their support, easing some of Dawn’s nerves.


Outside the contest hall James and Meowth are approached by a crowd of angry people with their fake seals, and so they run off into the distance. Inside the contest hall, it is Jessie's turn. She calls out Carnivine, which appears from behind her with a heart seal. Jessie throws her 'lollipop', which splits into many smaller ones, before Carnivine breaks them all with {{m|Bullet Seed}}. Jessie the tells it to use {{m|Bite}}, and it does. . . on her head. Jessie panics at first before playing along with it. Ash and Dawn remark that she is dedicated.
The next day, [[Marian]] welcomes the crowd to the Jubilife Contest. Brock tells Ash that he can't find Dawn anywhere, so Ash runs off to find her. In the changing room, Dawn is struggling with her hair, when Zoey walks up and helps her. Dawn and Zoey officially exchange introductions. Zoey says that she has entered three Contests and won one before showing Dawn her Ribbon to admire. With her hair fixed, Dawn tells Zoey that it was now her turn to win a Contest and that she is confident she will do so. Zoey replies that in that case she will be seeing her in the Jubilife Contest's final round and tells her to break a leg. Dawn realizes she was overconfident in her statement, but keeps it to herself. Soon, Ash and Dawn meet up in the backstage corridors and both run off to the waiting room. Marian introduces the [[Contest Judge|panel of judges]], formed by the Chief of the [[Pokémon Activities Committee]], [[Raoul Contesta]]; the {{pkmn|Fan Club Chairman|President}} of the [[Pokémon Fan Club]], [[Mr. Sukizo]]; and the [[Pokémon Center lady|operator]] of the local [[Pokémon Center]], [[Nurse Joy]]. Marian is ready to kick off the Performance Stage and Dawn is worried as she can't see Zoey anywhere. However, Marian  introduces Zoey as the first contestant. Zoey calls out her {{p|Misdreavus}}, which appears in the middle of a cloud from a Smoke Seal. Its silhouette can be seen as Zoey tells it to use Double Team, before dispersing the doubles and the smoke with {{m|Confuse Ray}}. Dawn checks Misdreavus on her Pokédex, before Zoey finishes the appeal with Misdreavus using {{m|Shock Wave}} to create large waves of electricity spreading outwards towards the edge of the Hall.


Ash is next. He calls out Aipom, which then uses Swift to break the stars from the star seal on its Poké Ball. Then it uses Double Team, before using a spinning Focus Punch to hit all the doubles. It finishes by landing on it's tail.

Jessie tells it to use {{m|Bite}}, and it does, on her head. Jessie shrieks from the pain, making for a truly dedicated and unique performance.  


Dawn is called to do her appeal. Zoey wishes her good luck and Ash and Dawn exchange a high five as they walk past each other in the corridor to behind the stage. When the curtain rises, Dawn is initially nervous but gets her act together and calls out Piplup. Piplup uses BubbleBeam to keep the bubbles from the seal suspended in the air, before storing up energy for a Peck, and then using Peck to pop all the bubbles. Johanna, who is watching on TV, comments that it wasn't bad.

Ash and Brock then congratulate Dawn, who says she is relieved it is over. Zoey reminds Dawn that it is too early to be relieved, as they are going to meet in the finals. Ash, Dawn, Zoey and Jessie all look on expectantly as the results are about to be announced. . .

When the curtain rises, Dawn is initially nervous, but gets her act together and calls out Piplup.

The judges commend Dawn on showcasing Piplup’s talents and speed. Johanna, who is watching on TV, comments that it wasn't bad. Backstage, Ash and Brock congratulate Dawn, who says she is relieved it is over. Zoey reminds Dawn that it is too early to be relieved, as they are going to meet in the finals.

Dawn's mother Johanna has sent her a special outfit to wear for her first Pokémon Contest, which is just a day away! While Dawn tries on out her new Contest outfit, she meets another Coordinator, Zoey, who has a Glameow. Then Dawn is due for some friendly training with Ash and Pikachu, and Dawn's Piplup looks good until Ash's Aipom interrupts the battle to show off its moves. It seems that Aipom doesn't want to watch a Contest, it wants to be in one! So for Aipom's sake, Ash decides he'll enter the Contest too.

As Ash soon finds out, not only do Coordinators in Sinnoh like to dress up for their Contests, they use some special effects as well. In Sinnoh Pokémon Contests, each Pokémon's Poké Ball is put into a Ball Capsule and decorated with seals that create quite a showy entrance! Ash and Dawn aren't the only ones hoping to make a big entrance in the Jubelife Contest; Team Rocket is around, and Jessie has her sights set on a big victory while James and Meowth have settled on starting a seal-selling scam.

As the Contest begins, Dawn is backstage trying to fix her hair. Zoey shows up to help her out and as the two Coordinators talk, Dawn learns that Zoey already has her first Contest Ribbon. Zoey also has a Misdreavus which she shows off in the first round with some spectacular moves. Jessie borrows James' Carnivine to make her Sinnoh debut as Jessilina, and Ash and Dawn pull off their first round appeals without a hitch. All four Coordinators—well, three Coordinators and one Trainer—will move on to the next round!

Plot

Inside the Jubilife Pokémon Center, Dawn shows off her new dress to Ash, Brock, and Pikachu, while her mother is on the video phone. Dawn thanks her mom for the dress, who reveals that she is missing the matching choker. A Glameow comes up to the group and Ash scans it with his Pokédex, before Johanna notices that it has Dawn's choker on its tail. Glameow's Trainer, Zoey, soon approaches and tells Dawn that she found the choker in the dressing room. Dawn thanks Zoey, before turning to tell her mother not to worry, which, of course, makes her worry more. Dawn notices that Zoey is gone.

On a practice battlefield outside, Dawn and Piplup square off against Ash and Pikachu. Pikachu launches into a Quick Attack, which Dawn counters with Bubble Beam. Pikachu stops and dodges, before deflecting it with Iron Tail. Dawn tells Piplup to use Peck and Piplup's beak glows, before extending, which surprises Ash. Dawn tells him that they have been practicing storing energy for Peck as Piplup charges for Pikachu. Ash calls for an Iron Tail, but before the attacks can connect, Aipom jumps in front of Pikachu and uses Focus Punch, knocking Piplup back. Everyone is surprised, and when Ash asks Aipom why she jumped in, Aipom performs a Double Team and Swift combination to create a large glowing star and then lands on her tail. Brock suggests that Aipom might want to compete in the Contest, which Aipom confirms. With the support of his friends and Aipom, Ash eventually agrees to compete in the Jubilife Contest. Brock reminds them that they need to register for the Contest before they can continue training, and Dawn realizes that she had forgotten to enter as well.

Both run up to the entry desk, frantic to enter the Contest. The concierge orders the pair to place their Pokédexes into the slots in front of them. Their details come up on the screen, and afterwards they receive their Contest Passes. They are also given a Ribbon case, rule book, Ball Capsule, and Seals. Ash and Brock are perplexed by the Seals, so Dawn demonstrates by placing a Heart Seal on Piplup's Poké Ball, making for a spectacular entrance. Outside, Jessie is standing in her Jessilina disguise: an orange dress, pigtails, and yellow and orange glasses. Though James is complaining that they are broke, while Meowth and Mime Jr. stick Seals onto Carnivine's face. Jessie angrily snatches away the Seals, explaining that they go on the Ball Capsules, not the Pokémon. James realizes that they could make money from selling fake Seals.

At the Pokémon Center that night, Dawn is unable to sleep. Eventually, she walks out onto the balcony of their room and calls out Piplup and Buneary. Dawn comments on the scenic cityscape at night, so Piplup and Buneary run over to the edge of the balcony to see for themselves. Dawn takes out her lucky charm, her mother’s first Ribbon, and shows it to her Pokémon to inspire them to do their best. She admits that she is nervous and just wants to show everyone how special they are. Piplup and Buneary chirp their support, easing some of Dawn’s nerves.

The next day, Marian welcomes the crowd to the Jubilife Contest. Brock tells Ash that he can't find Dawn anywhere, so Ash runs off to find her. In the changing room, Dawn is struggling with her hair, when Zoey walks up and helps her. Dawn and Zoey officially exchange introductions. Zoey says that she has entered three Contests and won one before showing Dawn her Ribbon to admire. With her hair fixed, Dawn tells Zoey that it was now her turn to win a Contest and that she is confident she will do so. Zoey replies that in that case she will be seeing her in the Jubilife Contest's final round and tells her to break a leg. Dawn realizes she was overconfident in her statement, but keeps it to herself. Soon, Ash and Dawn meet up in the backstage corridors and both run off to the waiting room. Marian introduces the panel of judges, formed by the Chief of the Pokémon Activities Committee, Raoul Contesta; the President of the Pokémon Fan Club, Mr. Sukizo; and the operator of the local Pokémon Center, Nurse Joy. Marian is ready to kick off the Performance Stage and Dawn is worried as she can't see Zoey anywhere. However, Marian introduces Zoey as the first contestant. Zoey calls out her Misdreavus, which appears in the middle of a cloud from a Smoke Seal. Its silhouette can be seen as Zoey tells it to use Double Team, before dispersing the doubles and the smoke with Confuse Ray. Dawn checks Misdreavus on her Pokédex, before Zoey finishes the appeal with Misdreavus using Shock Wave to create large waves of electricity spreading outwards towards the edge of the Hall.

Outside the Contest Hall James and Meowth are approached by a crowd of angry people with their fake Seals, and so they run off into the distance. Inside the Contest Hall, it is Jessie's turn. She calls out Carnivine, which appears from behind her with a Heart Seal. Jessie throws her "lollipop", which splits into many smaller ones, before Carnivine breaks them all with Bullet Seed. Jessie tells it to use Bite, and it does, on her head. Jessie shrieks from the pain, making for a truly dedicated and unique performance.

Ash is up next. He calls out Aipom, which uses Swift to break the stars from the Star Seal on her Poké Ball. Aipom follows up with Double Team, before using a spinning Focus Punch to hit all the doubles. She finishes by landing on her tail.

Dawn is called to do her appeal. Zoey wishes her good luck, and Ash gives Dawn a high five as she makes her way onto the stage. When the curtain rises, Dawn is initially nervous, but gets her act together and calls out Piplup. Piplup uses Bubble Beam to keep the bubbles from the Foamy Seal suspended in the air and stores up energy for a powerful Peck, before proceeding to pop all the bubbles. The judges commend Dawn on showcasing Piplup’s talents and speed. Johanna, who is watching on TV, comments that it wasn't bad. Backstage, Ash and Brock congratulate Dawn, who says she is relieved it is over. Zoey reminds Dawn that it is too early to be relieved, as they are going to meet in the finals. Ash, Dawn, Zoey, and Jessie all look on expectantly as the results are about to be announced.
