Synopsis

Template:Incomplete synopsis Dawn is feeling more ready than ever for the Chocovine Town Contest, and so are Buneary and Pachirisu. However things get a lot more intense when Dawn also develops a rivalry with its trainer, Ursula. However this rivalry is a very unfriendly one, as Ursula makes no secret of the fact that believes Dawn's win at the Wallace Cup (which Ursula also entered, yet failed to get past the Appeal rounds) was a complete fluke. As a result, Dawn is determined to show the arrogant coordinator what she is capable of, with the help of Pachirisu's new move...

Major events

• Dawn's Pachirisu learns Super Fang.
• Jessie's Yanmega is revealed to have Speed Boost as its ability.
• Dawn wins her fourth Contest Ribbon.

• Professor Oak's Pokémon lecture: Paras.
• This is the first Contest since her trade in Throwing the Track Switch that Dawn did not use Ambipom in.
• The dub's title is based on Queen's song, Another One Bites the Dust.

Errors

Gabite approaches Pachirisu as it steps on its Poffin with its right foot...

...when the Poffin appears on its left foot

• Even though Gabite stepped on the Poffin with its right foot, the Poffin was seen under its left foot when Ursula looked at it.
