== Synopsis ==
{{Incomplete synopsis}}
{{an|Dawn}} and {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}} are training for the {{to|Solaceon}} contest. During the training, they use {{m|Focus Punch}} in fast succession to make it look like Aipom has two tails. {{an|Brock}} tells her that is actually {{m|Double Hit}} and Aipom is close to evolving after that move. {{si|Kenny}} appears and tells her it is {{p|Ambipom}}. He was a bit surprised that she didn't know what Aipom's evolved form was and calls her DeeDee. {{Ash}} asks why he calls her that, but Dawn insists him not to go there. Ash decided to finish their battle in [[Floaroma Town]], but Kenny declines, saying he was going to see {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.
Meanwhile, at the Solaceon Ruins, [[Saturn]] and the two {{tc|Galactic Grunt|grunts}} enter the ruins for unknown purposes. [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] notices them and remembers their first encounter with them. Saturn sends out his {{p|Bronzor}} to use {{m|Flash}} to guide them through the ruins. Team Rocket, convinced there is treasure inside, decides to follow them without them seeing them.


Ash and his friends decide to go follow Kenny. Kenny offers to battle right now, right in front of the Dialga and Palkia statues.  Ash, however, thinks about it for a moment, and says that it would be a bit creepy for them to battle with Dialga and Palkia staring at them...but eventually says yes.  Ash and Kenny don't know who should go first, which causes Dawn to bring out her Pokétch App, the Coin Toss.  Kenny is extremely jealous, which causes Dawn to tease him that he doesn't have one.

<i>Deep in training for the Solaceon Contest, Dawn shows off Aipom's latest Contest move and discovers that Aipom has actually learned a new move: Double Hit! Then it's off to the Solaceon Ruins for a friendly battle between Ash and Dawn's friend Kenny, who's also in town for the Solaceon Contest. Our heroes aren't the only ones at the ruins—Team Rocket spots a suspicious trio in the area, including the same man who hired Team Rocket to steal the Adamant Orb from Eterna City's museum!


Once the Coin Toss is done, it is decided that Ash goes first, and Dawn bets Kenny will be more focused on showing off the moves than attacking. Since Ash thinks Kenny is going to use {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup|Empoleon}} again, he sends out {{TP|Ash|Turtwig|Turtwig}}, insisting that {{TP|Ash|Pikachu|Pikachu}} should relax.  Kenny, hearing this prediction, instead sends out {{p|Breloom}}, which surprises everyone, especially Ash.
Inside the ruins, the strangers perform a ritual that unleashes a swarm of Unown, then escape by hitting the Unown with a Confuse Ray. This causes the ruins to emit a red light that swallows up Dawn and her Pokémon! Her friends follow her into the ruins, only to find themselves lost inside a topsy-turvy temple where up is down and angry, confused Unown are everywhere.


Ash starts the battle with a {{m|Tackle}}, which Breloom tries to dodge, but isn't fast enough. Kenny is surprised at Turtwig's speed and orders a {{m|Mach Punch}}, with Ash countering with a {{m|Razor Leaf}} attack.  As Mach Punch always is the first attack, this gets to Turtwig before Turtwig can attack.  Kenny then orders an {{m|Energy Ball}}, which Breloom begins charging up.  Dawn remarks that it's beautiful, and was right in thinking that Kenny would pay more attention to how the move looks. 
With a sheepish Team Rocket in tow, Dawn tries to find her way out. She has no choice but to battle the Unown and snap them out of their confusion, and Aipom evolves into Ambipom just in time to help her out. Once Ash, Brock, and Kenny catch up to Dawn, Piplup explains the situation to the Unown, who finally allow everyone to leave the ruins. Team Rocket runs off before anyone can ask them about what just happened, but Dawn and Kenny quickly put the day's strange events behind them—it's back to preparing for the Solaceon Contest!</i>


The attack is then fired at Turtwig, who, despite its speed, is unable to dodge, and the Energy Ball explodes.  Since Turtwig is a {{type2|Grass}}, it is still standing. Ash is impressed by this move, and asks Kenny to teach it to Turtwig. Kenny thinks about it for a moment, and then says something about the move {{m|Bullet Seed}}, saying that if Turtwig knows it, it'd be easier to teach Energy Ball. After admitting that Turtwig doesn't know Bullet Seed, Kenny says it will be difficult, but says he'll teach it to Turtwig if they defeat him in a battle.
==Plot==
While {{an|Dawn}} and {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}} are {{pkmn|training}} for the {{to|Solaceon}} {{pkmn|Contest}}, they use {{m|Focus Punch}} in fast succession to make it look like Aipom has two tails. {{an|Brock}} tells her that is actually {{m|Double Hit}} and Aipom is close to evolving after that [[move]]. {{si|Kenny}} arrives and mocks Dawn for not knowing that Aipom evolves into {{p|Ambipom}}. He refers to Dawn as Dee Dee, with mysterious nickname puzzling {{Ash}} yet again, but Dawn insists he not to go there. Kenny reveals that he is looking forward to the Solaceon Contest, and Dawn replies that she and Aipom will be hard to beat. Ash is keen to finish his match against Kenny, but Kenny declines, and says he was going to see {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.


We are then taken back to Team Rocket, who is still spying on Team Galactic.  Saturn and his henchmen are in a room full of {{p|Unown}} inscriptions.  The three of them put in the Splash Plate, Iron Plate, and Draco Plate, which causes the center to glow. Suddenly, all of the Unown inscriptions become real Unown. After a while, Saturn says it's nice to see Team Rocket again, which causes James to say they got busted.  Saturn then talks of the new world they are going to create, as a box lifts from the ground. He then takes hold of the box, which angers all of the Unown and causes them to use {{m|Hidden Power}}.  Saturn deflects it with Bronzor's {{m|Confuse Ray}} and him and his grunts go off.
Meanwhile, at the [[Solaceon Ruins]], [[Saturn]] and the two {{tc|Team Galactic Grunt|Grunts}} enter the ruins for unknown purposes. {{TRT}} notices Team Galactic and [[DP036|recalls]] being hired to steal the [[Adamant Orb]] from the [[Eterna Historical Museum]]. Saturn sends out his {{p|Bronzor}} to use {{m|Flash}} to guide them through the ruins. Team Rocket, convinced there is treasure inside, decides to follow them without being seen.


Since the Unown are confused, they start attacking Team Rocket, believing that they stole the box. Team Rocket says that they "didn't do it this time" as they run for their lives.
Ash and {{ashfr}} accompany Kenny to the ruins, where they marvel at the entrance featuring a Dialga and Palkia statue. Kenny offers to battle right now, right in front of the Dialga and Palkia statues, and Ash agrees to it. Ash and Kenny don't know who should go first, which causes Dawn to bring out her [[Pokétch]] App, the Coin Toss. Once the Coin Toss is done, it is decided that Ash goes first. Since Ash thinks Kenny is going to use {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}} again, he sends out {{AP|Turtwig}}, insisting that {{AP|Pikachu}} should relax. Kenny, hearing this prediction, instead sends out {{p|Breloom}}, which surprises everyone, especially Ash. Ash starts the battle with a {{m|Tackle}}, which Breloom tries to dodge, but isn't fast enough. Kenny is surprised at Turtwig's speed. Ash orders Turtwig use a {{m|Razor Leaf}} attack, though Breloom’s {{m|Mach Punch}} hits first. Turtwig rushes forward with {{m|Bite}}, but Breloom counters with an {{m|Energy Ball}}. Ash is impressed by this move, and asks Kenny to teach it to Turtwig. Kenny thinks about it for a moment, and says that knowing the move {{m|Bullet Seed}} makes teaching Energy Ball easier. After Ash admits that Turtwig doesn't know Bullet Seed, Kenny says it will be difficult, but says he'll teach it to Turtwig if they defeat him in a battle.


As Ash and Kenny are still arguing over Turtwig's Energy Ball, the ruins start to glow red and lift, including the stairs, which Dawn was sitting on. Dawn gets confused and nervous as the stairs lift fully, and her Piplup begins to fall off. Aipom tries to hold Piplup up, though her strength isn't enough, and Piplup and Aipom tumble down the steps. Dawn, worried for her Pokémon, jumps off to save them.
Meanwhile, Team Rocket is still spying on Team Galactic. Saturn and his henchmen enter a room full of {{p|Unown}} [[Unown symbols|inscriptions]]. The three of them place the [[Splash Plate]], [[Iron Plate]], and [[Draco Plate]] into a triangular floor plate, which causes the center to glow. Suddenly, all of the Unown inscriptions become real Unown. Having noticed Team Rocket from outside the ruins, Saturn says it's nice to see the trio again. Saturn talks of the new world they are going to create, as a box known as the [[Spear Key]] lifts from the ground. He takes hold of the box, which angers all of the Unown and causes them to attack. Saturn deflects them with Bronzor's {{m|Confuse Ray}} allowing himself and his grunts to escape to their waiting helicopter. Team Rocket proceed to run off as well, with the angry Unown right behind them. Outside, the entry stairs begin to lift up, carrying Dawn, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and Aipom with it. The boys leap inside to rescue Dawn just as the Solaceon Ruins shut behind them.


Ash, Brock, and Kenny get worried for Dawn as the place becomes engulfed with red energy.  Confused, the three of them look around.  Ash and Brock are completely calm.  Kenny, on the other hand, is nervous and sweaty as he sees the red walls moving by themselves. Ash gets confused as to why he's scared, and Kenny returns those confused feelings, wondering how Ash is not scared.  Ash says that if the Trainer is scared, think about how the Pokémon will feel, which brings back Kenny's confidence as the three of them head in to the ruins to look for Dawn.
Inside, Ash and Brock rush off towards Kenny, who is freaking out over the warping walls. Ash reminds Kenny to remain calm and think about how the Pokémon will feel, which brings back Kenny's confidence as the three of them head further into the ruins to look for Dawn. Meanwhile, Dawn manages to find Piplup and Aipom, though they are disorientated by their odd surrounds. The Unown appear and fire a combined attack, leaving Dawn clueless, however her Pokémon help her with {{m|Swift}} and {{m|Bubble Beam}}, respectively. Because of this, the Unown suddenly snap out of their confusion and turn the place back to normal. However, Dawn still doesn't know how to get out, and it still looked really weird up ahead. Elsewhere, the boys are swarmed by another group of Unown. Brock explains they must have been confused. Ash's Pikachu and Turtwig proceed to attack them with {{m|Thunderbolt}} and Razor Leaf while Kenny's Breloom and Prinplup attack them with Energy Ball and Bubble Beam which snaps the Unown out of confusion, turning the place back to normal. Then they continue searching for Dawn.


Dawn manages to find Piplup and Aipom, though they are still confused as to where they are. They go forward, attempting to get out, however the group of Unown, who are zapping them despite them  not taking the special cube. They all attack at once, leaving Dawn clueless, however her Pokémon help her with {{m|Swift}} and {{m|BubbleBeam}}, respectively. Because of this, the Unown suddenly snap out of their confusion and turn the place back to normal. However, Dawn still doesn't know how to get out, and it still looked really weird up ahead...
Meanwhile, Dawn continues running and encounters more Unown. Piplup uses {{m|Whirlpool}} to snap the Unown out of their confusion. Then Team Rocket show up falling down from the nearby stairs. Another group of Unown appear but they are stopped by Aipom's Double Hit, who evolves into Ambipom. Then, she hits the Unown with Swift snapping them out of confusion. Brock and the others show up, and due to Unown's illusions each side sees each other as if they are walking on the ceiling. Another group of Unown appear but they are snapped out of confusion by Piplup's Bubble Beam, breaking the illusion. As the illusion lifts off, it is revealed that Dawn and Team Rocket are actually on the ceiling and subsequently they fall down on the floor. The other group all rush to catch the falling humans and Pokémon, with Brock using {{TP|Brock|Happiny}} to help with her massive strength.  


So Dawn keeps on running, and whenever they encounter Unown they kept on using Swift and BubbleBeam. This effectively got Dawn out of most of the red parts.
Suddenly the door to the outside opens and the group gets out. Brock wonders about the commotion inside the ruins and turns to Team Rocket for answers. However, the trio decide to make a run for it before they can get into any more trouble while promising revenge against Team Galactic. Ash looks up Ambipom on his [[Pokédex]] as the Long Tail Pokémon practices her moves. Dawn is confident that Ambipom can win her the Solaceon Contest, and Ash asks Kenny about their called-off battle. Kenny agrees to teach Turtwig Energy Ball, on the condition that Ash doesn't tell Dawn how scared he was.

Deep in training for the Solaceon Contest, Dawn shows off Aipom's latest Contest move and discovers that Aipom has actually learned a new move: Double Hit! Then it's off to the Solaceon Ruins for a friendly battle between Ash and Dawn's friend Kenny, who's also in town for the Solaceon Contest. Our heroes aren't the only ones at the ruins—Team Rocket spots a suspicious trio in the area, including the same man who hired Team Rocket to steal the Adamant Orb from Eterna City's museum!

Inside the ruins, the strangers perform a ritual that unleashes a swarm of Unown, then escape by hitting the Unown with a Confuse Ray. This causes the ruins to emit a red light that swallows up Dawn and her Pokémon! Her friends follow her into the ruins, only to find themselves lost inside a topsy-turvy temple where up is down and angry, confused Unown are everywhere.

With a sheepish Team Rocket in tow, Dawn tries to find her way out. She has no choice but to battle the Unown and snap them out of their confusion, and Aipom evolves into Ambipom just in time to help her out. Once Ash, Brock, and Kenny catch up to Dawn, Piplup explains the situation to the Unown, who finally allow everyone to leave the ruins. Team Rocket runs off before anyone can ask them about what just happened, but Dawn and Kenny quickly put the day's strange events behind them—it's back to preparing for the Solaceon Contest!

Plot

While Dawn and Aipom are training for the Solaceon Contest, they use Focus Punch in fast succession to make it look like Aipom has two tails. Brock tells her that is actually Double Hit and Aipom is close to evolving after that move. Kenny arrives and mocks Dawn for not knowing that Aipom evolves into Ambipom. He refers to Dawn as Dee Dee, with mysterious nickname puzzling Ash yet again, but Dawn insists he not to go there. Kenny reveals that he is looking forward to the Solaceon Contest, and Dawn replies that she and Aipom will be hard to beat. Ash is keen to finish his match against Kenny, but Kenny declines, and says he was going to see Dialga and Palkia.

Meanwhile, at the Solaceon Ruins, Saturn and the two Grunts enter the ruins for unknown purposes. Team Rocket notices Team Galactic and recalls being hired to steal the Adamant Orb from the Eterna Historical Museum. Saturn sends out his Bronzor to use Flash to guide them through the ruins. Team Rocket, convinced there is treasure inside, decides to follow them without being seen.

Ash and his friends accompany Kenny to the ruins, where they marvel at the entrance featuring a Dialga and Palkia statue. Kenny offers to battle right now, right in front of the Dialga and Palkia statues, and Ash agrees to it. Ash and Kenny don't know who should go first, which causes Dawn to bring out her Pokétch App, the Coin Toss. Once the Coin Toss is done, it is decided that Ash goes first. Since Ash thinks Kenny is going to use Prinplup again, he sends out Turtwig, insisting that Pikachu should relax. Kenny, hearing this prediction, instead sends out Breloom, which surprises everyone, especially Ash. Ash starts the battle with a Tackle, which Breloom tries to dodge, but isn't fast enough. Kenny is surprised at Turtwig's speed. Ash orders Turtwig use a Razor Leaf attack, though Breloom’s Mach Punch hits first. Turtwig rushes forward with Bite, but Breloom counters with an Energy Ball. Ash is impressed by this move, and asks Kenny to teach it to Turtwig. Kenny thinks about it for a moment, and says that knowing the move Bullet Seed makes teaching Energy Ball easier. After Ash admits that Turtwig doesn't know Bullet Seed, Kenny says it will be difficult, but says he'll teach it to Turtwig if they defeat him in a battle.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is still spying on Team Galactic. Saturn and his henchmen enter a room full of Unown inscriptions. The three of them place the Splash Plate, Iron Plate, and Draco Plate into a triangular floor plate, which causes the center to glow. Suddenly, all of the Unown inscriptions become real Unown. Having noticed Team Rocket from outside the ruins, Saturn says it's nice to see the trio again. Saturn talks of the new world they are going to create, as a box known as the Spear Key lifts from the ground. He takes hold of the box, which angers all of the Unown and causes them to attack. Saturn deflects them with Bronzor's Confuse Ray allowing himself and his grunts to escape to their waiting helicopter. Team Rocket proceed to run off as well, with the angry Unown right behind them. Outside, the entry stairs begin to lift up, carrying Dawn, Piplup and Aipom with it. The boys leap inside to rescue Dawn just as the Solaceon Ruins shut behind them.

Inside, Ash and Brock rush off towards Kenny, who is freaking out over the warping walls. Ash reminds Kenny to remain calm and think about how the Pokémon will feel, which brings back Kenny's confidence as the three of them head further into the ruins to look for Dawn. Meanwhile, Dawn manages to find Piplup and Aipom, though they are disorientated by their odd surrounds. The Unown appear and fire a combined attack, leaving Dawn clueless, however her Pokémon help her with Swift and Bubble Beam, respectively. Because of this, the Unown suddenly snap out of their confusion and turn the place back to normal. However, Dawn still doesn't know how to get out, and it still looked really weird up ahead. Elsewhere, the boys are swarmed by another group of Unown. Brock explains they must have been confused. Ash's Pikachu and Turtwig proceed to attack them with Thunderbolt and Razor Leaf while Kenny's Breloom and Prinplup attack them with Energy Ball and Bubble Beam which snaps the Unown out of confusion, turning the place back to normal. Then they continue searching for Dawn.

Meanwhile, Dawn continues running and encounters more Unown. Piplup uses Whirlpool to snap the Unown out of their confusion. Then Team Rocket show up falling down from the nearby stairs. Another group of Unown appear but they are stopped by Aipom's Double Hit, who evolves into Ambipom. Then, she hits the Unown with Swift snapping them out of confusion. Brock and the others show up, and due to Unown's illusions each side sees each other as if they are walking on the ceiling. Another group of Unown appear but they are snapped out of confusion by Piplup's Bubble Beam, breaking the illusion. As the illusion lifts off, it is revealed that Dawn and Team Rocket are actually on the ceiling and subsequently they fall down on the floor. The other group all rush to catch the falling humans and Pokémon, with Brock using Happiny to help with her massive strength.

Suddenly the door to the outside opens and the group gets out. Brock wonders about the commotion inside the ruins and turns to Team Rocket for answers. However, the trio decide to make a run for it before they can get into any more trouble while promising revenge against Team Galactic. Ash looks up Ambipom on his Pokédex as the Long Tail Pokémon practices her moves. Dawn is confident that Ambipom can win her the Solaceon Contest, and Ash asks Kenny about their called-off battle. Kenny agrees to teach Turtwig Energy Ball, on the condition that Ash doesn't tell Dawn how scared he was.
