Synopsis

Template:Incomplete synopsis Dawn and the others wander through the woods when Zoey's Glameow and Misdreavus find them while searching for help for their trainer. Zoey sprained her ankle while training, and is forced off her feet while she recovers. Brock gives her some first aid, but she needs to get to a Pokémon Center for full healing. Until then, they head to her camp and Zoey decides to demonstrate to Dawn the theme of the upcoming Hearthome Contest... appeals involving two of the trainer's Pokémon instead of one. Zoey also shows off her new Shellos, caught shortly after Dawn caught her Buizel.

Dawn decides to practice a bit for this new theme, pairing Piplup with Pachirisu and Buizel with Buneary. However, her combos don't work out quite as she imagined them. Even Ash's combos, which he uses to help Dawn train, work better than her attempts.

Jessilina comes along, hoping to challenge Dawn while she's still faltering. However, Zoey decides to accept instead, despite her foot not fully healing. Her Glameow and Shellos are able to knock back Jessie's Dustox and Seviper, even knocking Jessie out. Team Rocket decides to beat a retreat after that.

Zoey is taken to the nearest Pokémon Center, and they all agree to meet up at the Hearthome Contest.

Major events

Zoey is revealed to have captured a Shellos in the same lake Dawn caught Buizel.
