Indigo Plateau Conference

The Indigo Plateau Conference (Japanese: セキエイ大会 Sekiei Conference) is the Indigo League annual Pokémon League championship competition, held at the Indigo Plateau. The competition in which Yazmyne participated in occurred from the episode Dawn of the Tournament until Championship Battle Cry of the Battles Ablaze series.
==Events==
During the competition, the Pokémon League Village on Indigo Plateau becomes a mecca for all things Pokémon. Trainers receive free food and lodging in the village. While most League activity occurs in the Pokémon League Pavilion and on the battlefields, parades, movie theaters, and other such activities within the village keep the spectators happy when there is no battling. Additionally, there are some important ceremonial events unique to the conference.
===Opening ceremony===
The Pokémon League opening ceremony calls upon the spirit and flame of Moltres to ignite the fire that burns atop Indigo Stadium throughout the competition. Moltres's virtues symbolize Pokémon League competitions. The flame changes many hands, through competitors that are approved to be torch bearers. Without the flame, the competition could not begin. All competing Pokémon Trainers gather in Indigo Stadium and the central torch is finally lit. The League President addresses the Trainers, and then the games begin.
===Closing ceremony===
During the closing ceremony, all Trainers that competed at the conference march into Indigo Stadium one last time, and the Top 4 winning competitors are honored. The League President awards each Trainer with a Pokémon League Badge that signifies participation in the competition. Afterwards, the stadium lights dim for a fireworks show. Moltres's flame is extinguished until the next year's competition, and all battlers and spectators return home.
===Competition===
Only certified Pokémon Trainers who have acquired at least eight Indigo League Gym Badges may enter the competition. 128 trainers register for competition, with each sudden death Pokémon battle eventually eliminating all but one. Each losing Trainer is placed accordingly. The winning trainer earns the title of Indigo Conference and a chance to battle the Indigo Elite Four.
==Rounds==
The Indigo Plateau Conference consists of eight rounds. Four preliminary rounds span for six days, followed by two days of rest, and then the final rounds begin. There is a ten-minute intermission between each battle.
===Preliminary rounds===
In the preliminary rounds, 128 Trainers must compete on four different battlefields: Rock, Grass, Water and Ice. All matches are of three Pokémon each. The competitors are chosen randomly by computer. The eight trainers who win on all four battlefields will progress to the final rounds.
===Final rounds===
Final round battles take place in Indigo Stadium. All battles are Full Battles, with the exception of the fifth round, which is the last round that uses three Pokémon each. All three rounds are held on a standard battlefield. Competitors are chosen by fishing for Magikarp labelled with a letter and number that match that of another competitor. This fishing is only done once and it determines the tourney tree for the rest tournament. The trainer who wins three battles in the final rounds, wins the competition.
==Rules and Regulations==
The Indigo League is very strict on what defines a battle and what defines a match. A battle is one Pokémon against another one, and a match is made up of the individual Pokémon battles. Thus, the number of battles within a match is defined by how many Pokémon are used. The following conditions cause the Pokémon to lose the battle:
*The Trainer recalls the Pokémon
**Restriction: Moves that automatically swap out Pokemon are forbidden (U-Turn, Volt Switch).
**Restriction: Moves that forcibly recall a Pokemon are forbidden (Roar, Whirlwind, Dragon Tail, Circle Throw).
*The Pokémon is unable to continue battling
*The Pokémon refuses to battle

===BA091===
[Yazmyne]] and Eevee arrive at the Indigo Plateau Conference from their night in the hotel after the night's opening ceremony. Yazmyne, however, is immediately swarmed by fans, those who whatched her win the Kanto Grand Festival. She is asked for autographs and to be in an interview. After enduring the interview and signing some autographs, Yazmyne and Eevee rush to the Pokemon Center to heal her Pokemon, so they are ready for the upcoming tournament. As her Pokemon heal, Yazmyne calls home, asking if Clefairy and Munchlax are alright. Yazmyne's mom states they are fine and jokingly offers Yazmyne to use some of Justin's Pokemon. Yazmyne declines and asks about Dad, who happens to be battling a challenger with Yazmyne's Munchlax, much to her chagrin. Yazmyne phones off and the Nurse Joy gives Yazmyne back her Pokemon. She also gives Yazmyne a pamphlet on the rules and regulation of the Indigo Plateau Conference, which have been highly edited in recent years.
She learns that she must first pass through four preliminary battles on four unique battlefields (Grass, Water, Ice, and Rock) to qualify for battling inside Indigo Stadium. After reading this Yazmyne, Yazmyne goes to the stadium to register and learns that she is scheduled as the fifth match of the tournament on the ice battlefield. Yazmyne understands she can't use Munchlax due to her Dad, and Ivysaur and Clefairy would not fair well, running on the surface. After a couple more minutes of thinking, Yazmyne decides to have Elekid, Eevee, and Aerodactyl battle in the first round.
The first round beings, and Yazmyne is battling a trainer named, Jordan. Yazmyne sends Elekid to the front lines, and Jordan battles with a Graveler for the type-advantage. Graveler starts the battle with Rollout, using the slippery ice to gain speed. Elekid stands and uses Discharge on himself,charging and gaining power. Jordan notes that electric attacks will not affect the Ground-Type Graveler. Before the collision, Yazmyne orders a Focus Punch. Elekid collects the energy in his hand and unpummels the rolling Graveler before its Rollout could connect. Graveler has been stopped, and after a few seconds of suspense, Graveler unravels to show that it has been defeated. Jordan questions how Graveler could have been defeated so easily, and Yazmyne states that she took her Munchlax's Yellow Star Mega Punch and applied the concept of the attack to Elekid. The Baby Pokemon cheers at his easy victory and Jordan recalls Graveler. He then sends out an Exeggutor. The seconds commences. Exeggutor starts with Seed Bomb; Elekid hops atop the ice rocks and jumps off each one to dodge the seeds. Elekid then uses Dicharge, striking Exeggutor. Elekid jumps off one of the blocks of ice and closes in on Exeggutor. The Grass-Type attempts Psywave, but Elekid trips it with Low Kick. Exeggutor falls on his back and sustains more damage due weight. Elekid then pounds Exeggutor with Focus Punch, the force of the attack creating a small crater underneath Exeggutor's body. The Grass-Type is declared unable to battle, and the MC wonders if Yazmyne will clear the first round with Elekid alone.
Yazmyne notices Elekid loving the limelight and considers using him the next time she enters contests. Meanwhile, Jordan calls his final Pokemon, an Azumarill. The MC notes that Azumarill has the disadvantage, but Yazmyne thinks nothing of it, as her Elekid defeated Jordan's Graveler. Jordan has the first attack, issuing Hydro Pump. Elekid dodges the same way it dodged Exeggutor's Seed Bomb, jumping from iceberg to iceberg, but Azumarill's Hydro Pumps being to destroy the icebergs, leaving Elekid, unable to dodge in the same way. Yazmyne becomes more suspicious of Azmumarill's abilities and commands Discharge. Azumarill lifts its tail with Iron Tail, which absorbs the attack. Azumarill goes to attack with Iron Tail. Elekid easily dodges and charges Focus Punch, but Azumarill acts faster and blasts Elekid with Hydro Pump. Elekid crashes into the stadium wall and is declared unable to battle.
The MC declares Elekid's clear victories have ended. Yazmyne considers her options and instead of battling with Aerodactyl or Eevee, Yazmyne decided to battle with Dratini, wanting her first Pokemon to be in her first match. Jordan states he expected Yazmyne's Ivysaur, but does not fret. The battle begins and Azumarill strikes with Iron Tail. Yazmyne orders Dratini to dodge, but the Dragon Pokemon is distracted by the audience and is subsequently struck by the Steel-Type attack. Yazmyne commands Thunder Wave. Dratini rises, but she covers her eyes with her tail as everyone is staring at her. Jordan chides Yazmyne for her untrained Pokemon and has Azumarill pummel Dratini with Hydro Pump. Yazmyne does not understand what's wrong until she recalls Dratini's stage fright, and this is the first time that she's battled in a public setting, as she never entered contests. Yazmyne implores Dratini to battle and commands Thunder Wave to paralyze Azumarill. Dratini is still frazzled. Jordan asks for a real challenge and has Azumarill launch an Ice Beam. Yazmyne tells Dratini to block the attack with Dragon Rage. Dratini closes her eyes and launches the attack but completely misses. The Ice Beam meets and Dratini is taken out of the match.
Yazmyne recalls Dratini, telling herself that she and the Dragon will have a POW-WOW later. Yazmyne is now down to her last Pokemon and she chooses Butterfree. The referee begins the battle. Butterfree launches Psybeam, which Azumarill meets with Ice Beam, causing a bright light to shine, mimicking a Contest battle. Butterfree then cuts low with Aerial Ace. Azumarill times the attack perfectly and jumps before the attack could connect. Azumarill then slams with Iron Tail. Yazmyne calls Butterfree's name, and the Butterfly Pokemon immediately uses Quiver Dance without a direct command, gaining the speed to dodge Azumarill's Iron Tail. The MC wonders if Butterfree became a little disobedient, but Yazmyne just thinks to herself that in tight situations, Pokemon are best when using their instincts. The battle continues and Jordan plans to wet Butterfree's wins with Azumarill's Hydro Pump. Butterfree uses his speed to dodge the attack and lands and Aerial Ace, which the Water-Type could not dodge this time. Butterfree swoops down for another Aerial Ace, but Azumarill catches Butterfree this time. Azmumarill then charges Ice Beam, but Butterfree acts faster, blasting Azumarill with Psybeam. Yazmyne thinks to herself that luring in the opponent is a great strategy, but it puts one's Pokemon at risk too if the opponent quick and well trained, remebering what the explosion between her Ivysaur and Savannah's Slowbro during the Grand Festival. Flowing into the air, Azumarill first its charge Ice Beam into the sky, clearly missing Butterfree. Azumarill then crashes into rubbles of ice, unable to battle. Yazmyne is declared the winner of the fifth battle and moves onto the second round with her first Indigo League victory!
===BA092===
The first round of battles of the Indigo Plateau Conference have concluded and Yazmyne in the midst of her second battle on the Grass battlefield. Yazmyne and her opponent are already down one Pokemon with Yazmyne having used Dratini, her opponent also using a Likitung. Yazmyne, now, has Clefiary on the field against a Girafarig. Clefairy is seen dodging a Zen Headbutt. Girafarig is exhausted, but Clefairy is ready to keep battling strong. The Long Neck Pokemon then unleashes Psybeam, and Clefairy meets the attack with Ice Beam. Clefairy then overwhelms Girafarig, striking it with Ice Beam and sending it crashing into the stadium wall, unable to battle. The young trainer recalls Girafarig and sends out a Meditite. 
Meditite uses Drain Punch; Clefairy, however, repels Meditite with Ice Beam. Yazmyne recalls Clefairy, which is considered a "defeat" in the conference rules. Yazmyne is shocked by these rules, not having fully read the pamphlet Nurse Joy gave her at the beginning of the conference. She understands that the conference rules clearly differ between regions, as she had based her knowledge of the conference from waiting Justin in the Ever Grande Conference when she was much younger. Meanwhile, the referee demands Yazmyne to call her next Pokemon or she forfeits. Panicked, Yazmyne calls out Ivysaur, who has a type-disadvantage, and the girl regrets she didn't call Butterfree to battle. Still, Yazmyne is confident her first Pokemon will battle well.
The match begins and Meditite uses Fire Punch, Ivysaur dodge, but Meditite switches to Confusion, levitating Ivysaur and throwing him across the battlefield. Yazmyne takes advantage of the distance and commands Solarbeam. Yazmyne's opponent understands his mistake, now knowing Ivysaur could use Solarbeam. Meditite charges in with Fire Punch, as Ivysaur charges the attack. With sun bright and the distance between the Pokemon great, Ivysaur quickly releases the attack before Meditite can even get close. Meditite is blasted by the Solarbeam and is knocked out upon contact, giving Yazmyne the win.
Yazmyne hugs her Ivysaur and heads back to read the rest of the pamphlet, learning that substitutions equates to a Pokemon losing a battle, participants cannot use two of the same Pokemon, and if a Pokemon disobeys their trainer or refuses to battle, that also counts as a Pokemon losing a battle. All other basic rules of battling are also applied. After reading the pamphlet, Yazmyne goes to heal her Pokemon.
First, however, she has a discussion with Dratini, which ends with the Dragon-Type upset, as Yazmyne does not believe she is doing her best. Yazmyne explains to Dratini that winning and losing do not matter if all of her Pokemon are not fully participating in the competion. She explains to Dratini that she will battle in every match until she overcomes that stage fright. A crestfallen Dratini is recalled, but Yazmyne thinks to herself that it is her duty as Dratini's trainer to help her with things like this and should have done so months ago.
Later, the third round commences, Yazmyne on the Rock battlefield against an elderly woman, Jane. Jane selects Jolteon to be her first Pokemon while Yazmyne picks Dratini, as per her promise. Jolteon begins by unleashing Pin Missile. Dratini is ordered to eliminate the attacks with Dragon Rage, but she is too afraid of the crowd to act thus taking the attacks. Yazmyne gets enraged at Dratini, who snaps and attacks Yazmyne with Dragon Rage, which shocks the MC and the audience. Yazmyne dodges Dratini's attack, but the Dragon-Type soon turns its fury on Jolteon, attacking with Dragon Rage. Jolteon is struck by the attack, but survives. Dratini, however, follows his attack with ExtremeSpeed, sending Jolteon crashing into one of the field's rocks, and the Lightning Pokemon is defeated. Jane recalls her Jolteon. Upon winning, Dratini notices Yazmyne rush onto the field and hug her. Yazmyne is proud of the Dragon-Type for finally battling, unafraid of the crowd. Dratini, now more confident than ever, jumps out of Yazmyne's arms and dares Jane to continue battling. Yazmyne gets back to her side and challenges Jane herself.
The elderly woman sends out a Tyranitar, who intimidates Dratini and her trainer. Tyranitar immediately covers the field in a sandstorm with its Sand Stream ability. The sand shrouds Tyranitar from view, and Dratini is soon struck by a Stone Edge. Tyranitar follows with a Dark Pulse. Dratini dodges the attack and manages to catch Tyranitar in a Dragon Rage. Dratini goes back with Thunder Wave, but a shield of Stone Edge negates the attack. Tyranitar then releases a Hyper Beam. Dratini is struck by the attack and is declared unable to battle. 
Yazmyne recalls Dratini, and considers her options. She goes for the strategic advantage and calls Elekid. Jane calls Elekid a peculiar choice, but she begins the battle, ordering Stone Edge. Elekid destroys the Stone Edge with Discharge, causing a dazzling effect, which distracts Tyranitar. Elekid jumps and pounds Tyranitar with Focus Punch. Tyranitar quickly recovers and strikes back with Dragon Claw. Tyranitar then unleashes Hyper Beam, which defeats Elekid.
Yazmyne assesses the situation after recalling Elekid. Her final choice is Munchlax. Munchlax moves first with Blizzard. Tyranitar dodges the attack, but the Blizzard freezes part of the battlefield. Tyranitar uses Stone Edge, but Munchlax uses Screech, repelling the rocks. Munchlax then uses another Blizzard, which strikes Tyranitar and freezes another portion of the field. Tyranitar then uses Hyper Beam. Munchlax hides behind one of the ice pillars for protection. The ice pillar begins to shatter, and Munchlax comes out of hiding and rushes in with Mega Punch. Tyranitar is immobile due to the side effect of Hyper Beam and is pummeled by the Mega Punch. Munchlax follows with Thunderbolt, defeating the pseudo-legendary Pokemon. 
Jane has Skarmory act as her final Pokemon. Skarmory closes in with Steel Wing. Munchlax gets on his stomach and slides away, taking advantage of the now icy battlefield. Munchlax successfully dodges and follows with Thunderbolt. Skarmory shrugs off the damage and goes for Fury Attack. Munchlax is struck several times. Skarmory retreats and comes back, speeding with Aerial Ace. Munchlax, however, catches Skarmory, and uses another Thunderbolt with the attack dealing more damage as Skarmory is connected to Munchlax. The Big Eater Pokemon releases Skarmory, and the Steel-Type Pokemon is delcared unable to battle.
Jane collects Skarmory and thanks Yazmyne for a fine battle. Yazmyne, however, is slightly shaken, as she nearly lost the battle. She recalls Munchlax, thanking him for being so strong, and the MC declares Yazmyne as the eighteenth person advancing to the fourth round Top 32.
===BA093===
The fourth round of the Indigo Plateau Conference has begun, and Yazmyne is in the second battle against a male trainer with a Dewgong on the water battlefield, battling with her Starmie. The MC has noted that Yazmyne's Starmie has defeated the two opponent's Pokemon, a Gloom and Lapras, using powerful contest tactics. Yazmyne hears cheers from her roaring fans and slightly blushes. Dewgong uses Aurora Beam, and Yazymne regroups, having Starmie duck under the water to dodge. Starmie then jumps out of the water and skims the surface of the water with a Rapid Spin-Bubblebeam combination. Dewgong jumps out the water and charge in with Horn Drill. The two collide and bounce off each other falling into the water. Both soon resurface, revealing Starmie knocked out by the One-hit KO attack, and Dewgong also defeated. Though both Pokemon draw, Yazmyne's opponent is out of Pokemon while Yazmyne can still battle. Thus, Yazmyne is declared the victor and advances to the final rounds of the conference.
Yazmyne collects Starmie and goes to have her Pokemon healed. Along the way, she encounters Nick, who has come to cheer her in the conference. As the pair catch up, they look on the television, showing that another trainer, Garrett in a separate stadium has won his battle and is advancing to the final rounds. The pair spend their time together, Yazmyne having time to kill until the Top 16 are gathered in the main stadium. Outside, more fans come to as the Legendary Coordinator for her autograph as well as Nick's. Yazmyne then has an idea, stating that the pair should do an appeal together for fun and to entertain their fans. While Nick is a little uneasy, the audience is excited. At this, Yazmyne calls Munchlax, and pressured by the audience, Nick chooses Scizor.
Nick questions Yazmyne what appeal they should do, never having done this. Yazmyne tells Nick she has a combination she's wanted to try with Munchlax and Butterfree, but she never partnered them in battle. Yazmyne thus tells Nick to command Silver Wind. Nick makes the command, and Scizor fills the area with glistening dust. Munchlax then follows with Blizzard; the icy attack crystallizes the dust of silver wind, creating beautiful Snowflakes that descend to the ground that make a beautiful appeal. The kids go to catch the Snowflakes, as Nick and Yazmyne receive roaring applause from the onlookers, some even asking for pictures.
From the main stadium's outside projector, Yazmyne hears the last battles of the fourth round have ended, and the Top 16 are to head to the main stadium to be recognized. Yazmyne collects Munchlax and begins to leave. She first teases Nick, giving him a kiss on the cheek, which someone takes a picture of and leaves. Nick's face goes red.
Yazmyne arrives last in the stadium after retrieving her Starmie and is chastised by the many of the other remaining participants. One even remarks that a Coordinator needn't even be here. Yazmyne moves to respond, but Garrett defends her, stating that she like everyone else made it this far due to her abilities, regardless if they were derived from Coordinator skills, natural talent, or long hours of training. With every present, the MC directs the stadium to the Top 16 participants. The participants back off Garrett and Yazmyne as all eyes are on them. Nick is shown to have found his seat, and the MC begins explaining the rules of the final rounds. The final rounds will begin immediately, and will be a randomized order of battles, and whom the challengers face will be constantly randomized until the semifinals. All battles will be in the main stadium on a randomized battlefield of plain, ice, rock, grass, or water, which will not change for the entirety of the battle. They will all no-break Full Battles except for the first round, which will be three on three, and it will be the only round of the finals to happen today. All of the other basic tournament rules of the conference still apply.
After the rules are stated, the scoreboard randomizes the faces on the board; Yazmyne is set to battle in the first round against the guy who just scoffed at her for begin a Coordinator. The guy identifies himself as Pierce, and he immediately stares down Yazmyne.
===BA094===
The episode returns to where Yazmyne and the fifteen remaining participants are randomly organized to battle each other in the first of the final rounds of the Indigo Plateau Conference. Yazmyne is set to battle Pierce in the first match. Pierce goes to Yazmyne to intimidate her, stating that she shouldn't be there being a Coordinator. Pierce adds that she saw her battles and that she luckily faced weak opponents. Pierce continues to scoff Yazmyne title as a Kanto Top Coordinator and Legendary Coordinator, but the Yazmyne just smiles and states that they will settle their differences with their Pokemon. The MC tells the participants other than Pierce and Yazmyne to leave the field as the fifth round, the first round of the finals, is about to begin. The fourteen participants clear the field as Yazmyne and Pierce walk to their respective sides. The MC begins the battle.
Yazmyne calms herself and sends Butterfree battle while Pierce chooses Lickitung. Pierce is granted the first move, and he commands Belly Drum. Lickitung glows red and pounds his belly. Knowing that Lickitung's attack is maximizing, Yazmyne commands Psybeam. Lickitung takes the attack, but survives. The drawback of Belly Drum is that is leaves the user weaker, endurance wise depite the massive strength boost. Yazmyne takes advantage of this drawback and has Butterfree follow his Psybeam with Aerial Ace. Butterfree performs an aerial back-flip and skims the ground, charging low with Aerial Ace. Pierce smirks and commands Power Whip. Lickitung immediately extends his tongue at an alarming rate and strikes Butterfree from his side, having him slam into the stadium wall. Butterfree is declared unable to battle, and Yazmyne is astonished, having never seen the Butterfly Pokemon beaten so easily.
Pierce states that Coordinators only rely on flashy attacks for points and that takes away the Pokemon's ability to deal damage. Pierce then adds that Coordinators actually weaken their Pokemon. Yazmyne states that he's wrong as she calls Starmie to battle. Pierce mocks Yazmyne's choice, and Pierce calls for Power Whip. Starmie, however, acts fast and creates a wall with Bubblebeam. Lickitung strikes the wall, and destroys it. Bright dew covers the field as the bubbles disperse, and Starmie shines. Pierce yells that this is not a contest, ordering another Power Whip. Lickitung drills its tongue into the ground. The tongue emerges from the ground to strike, but Starmie dodges. The Water-Type then fires an orb of Water Pulse. Lickitung quickly retracts its tongue and narrowly dodges the attack, but Starmie pummels him with Rapid Spin. Starmie then defeats the Licking Pokemon with a close range Water Pulse.
Yazmyne's fans cheer for her small comeback, but Pierce is far from defeated, and he sends Honchkrow into battle. Honchkrow opens with a barrage of Shadow Ball, which Starmie matches with Bubblebeam. Honckrow witches to Dark Pulse. Yazmyne tells Pierce that participating in contests has helped her learn that there is more than one way to showcase an attack. At this, Yazmyne commands Water Pulse. Observing the situation, Starmie surrounds itself in a vortex of water, which blocks the Dark Pulse. Pierce is surprised to see Starmie's Water Pulse switch from an orb to a defensive water barrier. Honchkrow swoops down for Sky Attack to destroy the Water Pulse and defeat Starmie, but the Mysterious Pokemon uses Bubblebeam. From watery vortex, bubbles emerge from all directions and strike Honchkrow, disrupting its Sky Attack and knocking it back. Honchkrow falls to ground with Pierce yelling at it to get up. Pierce then commands Heat Wave, which effectively dissipates the water Water Pulse. Starmie is now exposed, and Honchkrow lands a devastating Sky Attack due to his Super Luck ability. Starmie is sent flying across the field and crashes on the ground. Before the referee can declare the Water-Type unable to battle, Yazmyne orders Recover. Starmie glows while, healing all of its damage. Honchkrow moves to stop Starmie with Dark Pulse. Starmie healed, Yazmyne commands Water Pulse. Starmie generates the orb and slams it on the ground, creating a giant wave of water. The water absorbs the Dark Pulse and crashes down on Honchkrow. Starmie then finishes with Rapid Spin, defeating Honchkrow.
An angry Pierce recalls Honchkrow and sends out Shelgon. Then, to the audience's shock, Yazmyne recalls Starmie and sends out Eevee. As Starmie was recalled, it was "defeated," leaving both trainers with their last Pokemon. Pierce questions the swap and Yazmyne states she wants to give Pierce a final chance to win. The infuriates the young trainer, who commands Dragonbreath. Eevee, however, dodges the attack with Double Team and follows with Iron Tail. Shelgon responds with Iron Defense, increasing its defenses. Shelgon takes minimal damage and hits Eevee with Dragon Claw. Eevee recovers and uses Swift, but Shelgon uses Iron Defense to reflect the attack back to Eevee. Eevee hits one of the reflected stars with Iron Tail, causing it to hit the other stars, which now bounce off each other and display a sparkling effect much to the audience's enjoyment. At this, Yazmyne develops a new idea. Meanwhile, Shelgon uses Dragonbreath. Eevee again dodges with Double Team, but Shelgon witches to Fire Blast, which destroys Eevee's clones and hits Eevee. Shelgon then closes in with Dragon Claw. Eevee bounces back and uses Swift. Shelgon stops and defends with Iron Defense, but the stras to not attack Shelgon but surround. Eevee strikes one of the stars with Iron Tail, causing the stars to energize the attack and pummel Shelgon from all directions as Yazmyne's newest contest combination. Shelgon's Iron Defense eventually gives from the assault. Pierce commands Fire Blast to destroy the stars. Yazmyne commands Trump Card, and Eevee jumps overhead, releasing six red plates of energy and striking Shelgon for a large explosion. Eevee lands and poses, victorious. The smoke clears, showing that Shelgon is unable to battle, giving Yazmyne the win and the first to advance to the quarterfinals.
Yazmyne cradles Eevee, happy they won, while Pierce is shocked over his defeat, refusing to accept the results. Yazmyne walks over to Pierce and admits she doesn't know why he hates Coordinators but does not care. However, she states that she loves being a Coordinator and a trainer. not only can she put on a show for any audience, she can use contest combinations and tactics to invent several different ways to execute any attack. Certainly contests are meant to use flashy attacks and and bright lights and combinations to show off one's Pokemon, but its because of contests that she's won many battles due to her inventive ways of showcasing all of her pokemon's abilities despite most of them being unevolved. Yazmyne states that she could rant and explain herself more, but she leaves a wallowing Pierce alone so the next battles can commence and walks off the battlefield.
The other battles begin. Yazmyne does not watch the second and third battle as she has her Pokemon healed, but is aware two young male trainers have advanced to the Top 8. Toward the end of the fourth battle, Yazmyne sees Garrett battling with a Raichu against an older man's Marshtomp on a Grass battlefield with both Pokemon tired. Marshtomp rushes in with Focus Punch. Raichu, however, uses Grass Knot, tripping the charging Marshtomp. Raichu then unleashes a merciless Hyper Beam, which defeats Garrett's opponent. Garrett advances to the Top 8, and Yazmyne notices that, he has a Tangela and Steelix from observing the scoreboard. The remaining battles proceed with the remaining members of the Top 8 eventually being decided. 
That night, Yazmyne is outside with Ivysaur, thinking about tomorrow's battles, which will encompass the quarterfinals and semifinals. As she thinks, a Solrock appears in fron of her, glimmering with Rock Polish. Nick then appears, showing that its his Solrock, and recommends that Yazmyne gets some sleep for the quarterfinal match. They, however, get to talking, and Yazmyne states that she has not decided where her next journey will be. She admits that she may want to challenge the Hoenn League, following her brother's footsteps in a way. Nick states that she should follow her own path, and adds that he along with Savannah and Megumi have decided to travel to the Riau Region.
===BA095===
Yazmyne is shown leaving the Indigo Plateau's hotel for the stadium site. She calls out Elekid, stating that he's going to battle this time to the Electric-Type's excitement. As she enters the stadium, she thinks about what Nick told her about going to Riau. She, however, is interrupted by Garrett, who hopes to get breakfast with her but Yazmyne calmly rejects stating that the battles will start soon. They do, and the MC calls to the roaring audience. He lists the names of the Top 8, who will be battling in the fourth day of the competition to compete im the finals held tomorrow. In order of yesterday's victories, the Top 8 are Yazmyne, Jean, Ehab, Garrett, Marcus, Chloe, Baker, and Kiana. The names are randomized, and in the first battle, Baker is set to battle Chloe. In the second battle, Yazmyne is set to battle Kiana. Marcus is to battle Ehab, and Garrett is to battle Jean in the last battle.
Everyone except Baker and Kianna clear the field, and they are set to battle on an Ice battlefield. The battle begins with Baker sending out a Croconaw while Chloe sends out her Jynx. As the battle gets underway, Yazmyne leaves the stadium with Dratini to call out the five other Pokemon she plans to battle with: Clefairy, Munchlax, Ivysaur, Butterfree, and Aerodactyl. As she begins to give them a pep talk, the screen blackens and spans to the beginning Yazmyne's battle with Kiana. The MC notes that the heated battle between Baker and Chloe ending Baker's favor, meaning only one female will enter the Top 4.
The girls begin their match with Aerodactyl and Nidorino. Nidorino starts the battle with Poison Sting. Aerodactyl deflects the attack with Steel Wing, the needles bouncing off Aerodactyl's wing. The Fossil Pokemon then pounds Nidorino with Ancientpower. Nidorino dashes with Drill Run.Aerodactyl flies up, effortlessly dodging the attack. Nidorino crashes into a boulder and Aerodactyl fires a Hyper Beam on the dazed Pokemon, knocking him out. 
Kiana recalls Nidorino for Marowak. Marowak starts the battle with Bonemarang, tossing its bone. Aerodactyl dodges the attack, but the bones comes back striking Aerodactyl's back anad forcing him on to the ground. Kiana has Marowak take adavantage with Ice Beam, but Aeroactyl moves quickly and cancels the attack with Ancientpower. Marowak comes rushing in with Bone Rush, but Aerodactyl blocks the attack with his wings as Marowak strikes. Aerodactyl then goes on the offesive, striking Marowake several times with Steel Wing. Aerodactyl then grabs Marowake by its skull with its hind legs. Aerodactyl takes light and throws the Ground-Type into the air. Airborne, Marowak attack with Ice Beam, Aerodactyl overpowers the attack with Hyper Beam, which then strikes Marowak. The Bone Keeper Pokemon falls to the ground, unable to battle.
Kianna recalls the Bone Keeper Pokemon. Her third choice is Magmar.  Aerodactyl starts with battle with Ancientpower. Magmar blocks the attack with Fire Blast, which continues to strike Aerodactyl for a weak hit but a hit no less. Magmar then attacks with Fire Punch and aerodactyl blocks with Steel Wing. However, the Steel-Type attack is weak to the Fire-Type attack; Aerodactyl is overpowered and pushed back. Aerodactyl quickly recovers and hits MAgmar with Ancientpower Mamgar survives the attack and fil;s the field with Smokescreen. Aerodactyl is trapped in a fog, unable to see Magmar and too tired to flap its wings to fan the smoke. The Spitfire Pokemon then strikes Aerodactyl repeatedly with Flame Burst. The MC stays that Fire-Type attacks are weak to Rock-Types but any attack no matter how weak or strong will certainly whittle down any opponent. Yazmyne is unable to see Aerodactyl and thus unable to give effective commands, but she thinks about the destructive nature of Hyper Beam. Aerodactyl is struck thrice with Magmar's attack and her hears Yazmyne commands Hyper Beamto its maximum. Elekid understands the commands and fires the Hyper Beam in the direction of the incoming Flame Burst. The intense attack dissipates the smoke and strikes Magmar with a powerful attack. Aerodactyl finishes iwth Ancientpower, which knocks out Magmar for Aerodactyl's third victory.
Kianna recalls Magmar, ans Yazmyne alerts the referee that she is recalling Aerodactyl, as he took too much damage from the Flame Bursts. Thus, Elekid is also "defeated" as per tournament rules. Yazmyne sends out her second Pokemon, Ivysaur, and Kiana sends out her fourth, Walrein. Walrein uses Ice Beam, which Ivsaur dodges, and he attacks with Razor Leaf. The leaves, however, are absorbed by Walrein's belly. Walrein jumps slams the ground with Earthquake, causing the ground to shake. Ivysaur falls on his side, unable to get back up. Panicked, Yazmyne commands Solarbeam. Though fallen, Ivysaur gathers the sunlight. Kiana, however commands Ice Beam. The icy attack steadily freezes Ivysaur, but the Grass-Type continues absorb the sunlight. Ivysaur is soon completely frozen, but the Seed Pokemon, destroys its icy prison with a blast of Solarbeam. The attack goes to attack Walrein, but the Ice-Type merely uses Protect, blocking the attack, much to Yazmyne's shock. Walrein then uses a powerful Blizzard, defeating Ivysaur. 
Yazmyne recalls Ivysaur and sends out her third pick, Munchlax. Walrein opens with Ice Beam. Munchlax jumps to dodge. Walrein then directs its Ice Beam to the aerial Munchlax, but the Big Eater Pokemon blocks the attack with Thunderbolt, which erupts for a bright dazzle. Munchlax then pounces with Mega Punch, which Walrein blocks with Protect. Munchlax jumps back, and Walrein uses Blizzard. Munchlax dissipates the attack with Screech for a sparkling effect, and the attack continues to pain Walrein, lowering its defenses. Munchlax then strikes the distracted Pokemon with Mega Punch. Walrein recovers and attacks with Ice Beam. Munchlax charges in but spin around the attack, effectively dodging  the Ice Beam. Munchlax then shocks  Walrein with Thunderbolt, defeating the Iceberg Pokemon.
Kiana recalls Walrein and sends Jumpluff. Yazmyne goes for the type-advantage and commands Blizzard. Jumluff uses her light body and speed to dodge the attack, but follows quickly with Acrobatics, striking Munchlax at high speeds Jumpluff goes to repeat its Acrobatics, but Munchlax pinpoints its location and pummels it with Mega Punch. Kiana then commands Sleep Power, which puts Munchlax to sleep. As per tournament rules, if a Pokemon is put to sleep, it is defeated. Thus Munchlax is defeated, and Munchlax recalls him. Yazmyne recognizes the threat of Sleep Powder, and plans to turn it her her advantage with Butterfree. Butterfree flies on the battlefield, and immediately starts the battle with Aerial Ace, striking Jumpluff with a clean hit. Jumpluff responds with Bullet Seed. Butterfree matches the attack with Psybeam. An small explosion occurs from the collision of the attacks, pushing back the two Pokemon. Kiana then wastes no time commanding Sleep Powder. Jumpluff begins to sprinkle the dust toward Butterfree, but Yazmyne grins and commands Silver Wind. Butterfree releases a beautiful white wind, which strikes Jumpluff, but also carries the Sleep Powder with it, causing Jumpluff to be struck with its own attack. The Sleep Powder puts Jumpluff to sleep, defeating it, as per tournament rules. This leaves Kiana with her last Pokemon, a Rhydon. 
Wanting to test Rhydon's defenses, Yazmyne commands Psybeam, but Rhydon deflects the attack with Horn Drill. Rhydon follows with Rock Blast. Knowing the danger of the attack if it hit the Bug/Fling Butterfree, Yazmyne commands Quiver Dance. Butterfree glows white, increasing his speed and power, making him fast enough to dodge the rocks except for the last. Though Butterfree is hit by the super-effective attack, he survives. Yazmyne then commands Psybeam. Rhydon uses Horn Drill to deflect the attack again, but Rhydon is now pushed back. Yazmyne remember Quiver Dance not only increases speed by offense of special attacks. This true, Yazmyne tells Butterfree to use Quiver Dance repeatedly. Butterfree concedes, but Rhydon uses the opportunity to land a powerful Megahorn. Butterfree is knocked back, but keeps dancing. Rhydon then uses Rock Blast. Butterfree with its increased speed dodges all of the attacks, but is struck by Rhydon's follow up Megahorn. Butterfree bounces back and uses Psybeam. Kiana scoffs and commands Horn Drill. The Horn Drill initially deflects the attack, but Butterfree increases the power of his attack, now overwhelming Rhydon. Rhydon falls back, and Butterfree uses Silver Wind. The powerful white wind increases the acceleration of Rhydon's falling for more damage as the Rock-Type crashes into a boulder. At Kiana's urging, Rydon gets back up, only to fall over again, this time completely unable to battle. Butterfree wins the battle, and Yazmyne advances to the semifinals. 
Yazmyne hugs Butterfree thanking him for a great match. Though disappointed at her loss, Kiana thanks Rhydon for his efforts and recalls him. She and Yazmyne cordially shake hands with Kiana wishing Yazmyne luck in the semifinals. With Yazmyne's victory official, she walks off the battlefield for the battle between Marcus and Ehab.
===BA096===
After Yazmyne wins her bout against Kiana with only four Pokemon in their full battle, she sits with Nick in the audience. As Nick congratulates Yazmyne on her victory, the young girl clenches her Eevee in happiness, but remembers that she will battle again in the afternoon if she wants to go to the finals. The screen then pans to the bout between Marcus and Ehab, in which the two trainers battle brilliantly. Eventually, Marcus with Beedrill and Ehab with Slowking are down to their last Pokemon. Slowking uses Psyshock, but Beedrill blocks the attack with a barrage of Fury Attack. Beedrill then strikes with Pin Missile, firing a barrage of arrows that explodes on and arround Slowking. The smoke clears to show that Slowking has been knocked out be the super-effective attack, giving Marcus the win, as he advances to the semifinals. 
Garrett's battle with Jean begins. Jean sends out Fearow while Garrett chooses Forretress. Fearow opens with Fury Attack, harping at Forretress several times, but the Steel-Type does not budge. Forrestress uses Lock-On, aiming at Fearow. The Flying-Type switches to Aerial Ace, striking Forretress, but it doesn't show any signs of damage. Forretress then uses Zap Cannon. Fearow tries to dodge, but the Zap Cannon tails Fearow due to the effects of Lock-On and striking him. Fearow falls to the ground, paralyzed, and Forretress defeats it with Rapid Spin. Garrett claims the initial advantage. Jean, however,sends out the Fire-Type Ninetales for a severe type-advantage. Ninetales attacks with Flamethrower, but Forretress cuts through the attack with Rapid Spin and strikes Ninetales for direct hit. Forretress backs a way, showing signs of burn from the fire attack. Ninetales quickly recovers from its hit and unleashes Fire Spin. The Bug-Type, however, gets close to Ninetales before it can release its attack and ignites with Explosion. Forretress glows white and violently explodes. As the smoke clears, Forretress is shown knocked out, naturally, and Ninetales has also been defeated. in the stands Nick deduces that Forrestress' explosion was greater as it ignited the attack near Ninetales' charging Fire Spin. Yazmyne further comments that Garrett is a true strategist. 
Both trainers recall their unconscious Pokemon. Jeans sends Machoke to battle, and Garrett chooses Vaporeon.  Vaporeon moves first with Aurora Beam, which Machoke blocks with his hands. Machoke then strikes the ground with Brick Break, causing a fissure in the ground. Vaporeon jumps up and attacks with Hydro Pump from above. Machoke uses Bulk Up, enduring the attack while getting stronger. Machoke attacks with Karate Chop, attacking Vaporeon repeatedly. Vaporeon dodges the attacks, but is struck by Machoke's Brick Break. Vaporeon, hurt, falls but crawls back to its feet and attack with Shadow Ball. Machoke punches the attack with Brick Break, but a black veil emerges. From the veil, Vaporeon attacks with Hydro Pump, pushing back Machoke. Vaporeon follows with Aurora Beam, blasting and defeating Machoke. 
Jean recalls Machoke and sends out a Luxio. Luxio attacks with Shock Wave, striking Vaporeon with a super-effective hit. Vaporeon responds with Acid Armor, becoming invisible. Luxio searches for Vaporeon with Odor Sleuth. By the time, Luxio finds Vaporeon, the Water-Type pummels it with a Shadow Ball-Aurora Beam combination. The beautiful combination fascinates Yazmyne and Nick with Yazmyne commenting that Eevee may become a Vaporeon. Luxio survives the attack and goes for an Iron Tail, jumping up to pounce on Vaporeon. Garrett simply commands Hydro Pump, and Vaporeon blasts the painfully open Luxio with the highly powered water attack, defeating it. At this victory, Yazmyne holds up Eevee, telling her that she's definitely going to become a Vaporeon. 
Jean recalls Luxio and sends out a Tauros. Tauros starts with Scary Face, paralyzing Vaporeon with hear. With Garrett's words, however, Vaporeon overcomes the fear and uses Aurora Beam. Tauros dodges the attack and pummels Vaporeon with Horn Attack. Yazmyne wonders why Vaporeon, with the speed it's been showing, was not able to dodge the attack. Nick informs Yazmyne that Scary Face sharply reduces a Pokemon's speed with fear. Even if the fear is overcome, the seed reduction is not. Meanwhile, Vaporeon attacks with Hydro Pump. To Garrett's surprise, Tauros charges into the attack with Giga Impact. Tauros keeps charging and strikes Vaporeon with the powerful attack, knocking it out. Garrett recalls Vaporeon, thanking it for its hard work.
Garrett's third Pokemon is Milotic. At the sight of the Tender Pokemon, the udience erupts with excitement and applause, and Yazmyne, along, with some other girls are beyond jealous, wanting the beautiful Pokemon. Jean comments the typing as "perfect" Taurous charges with Wild Charge. Milotic, however, uses Attract, stopping the Will Bull Pokemon from attacking, now infatuated with Milotic. Tauros is rendered immobile and Garrett commands Dragon Tail at Tauros' feet tripping him. Jean tells Tauros to get back up, but he does not respond. Milotic then defeats Tauros with Dragon Pulse. Jean recalls Tauros and sends out his last Pokemon, a Empoleon. Milotic grips Empoleon with Wrap, squeezing him. Milotic follows with a barrage of Dragon Pulse, while still trapping the Emperor Pokemon. Empoleon retaliates with a direct Hydro Cannon, blasting Milotic and freeing himself. Milotic uses Attract, sending pink hearts toward Empoleon. Empoleon responds with Drill Peck, shredding the hearts and striking  Milotic. Milotic recovers quickly and strikes with Dragon Tail. Empoleon gets back up and deflects an incoming Dragon Pulse with Metal Claw. He then follows with Flash Cannon. Milotic matches the energy beam with Dragon Pulse, which causes a large explosion. The smoke clears, and Empoleon survives the force of the attack while Milotic is defeated. Garrett recalls Milotic, thanking her for her courage. Before Garrett can call out his next Pokemon, Jean forfeits, stating that no matter how powerful his Empoleon is, he's not confident it can defeat Garrett's three remaining Pokemon especially after the damage it took from Milotic. With this, Garrett is declared the winner. Jean goes to his Empleon patting his head before recalling him. Garrett goes to Jean, thanking him for a fun battle, but Jean states that the battle was one-sided, which Garrett does not deny. Jean and Garrett shake hands with Jean stating the battle was still fun and wishing him luck in the next round. 
The last battle ends, the field is clear, and the Top 4 names are re-randomized. In the first battle, after a short intermission to heal all Pokemon, Yazmyne is set to battle Garrett while Baker is to battle Marcus in the second battle. With the results, Yazmyne and Garrett stare at each other, and Yazmyne excuses herself from Nick to prepare for combat.
The screen then pans to mid-afternoon, where Yazmyne walks onto a Water battlefield from her corner on the main stadium, ready to battle for the chance to win the Indigo Plateau Conference trophy.
===BA097===
Yazmyne walks out onto the main battlefield, thinking about herself and Garrett. Both of them won their full battles in the quarterfinals without using six Pokemon, so she deduces that this will be a difficult battle. Yazmyne then thinks about all of her victories thus far, gym matches, contests, and league battles along with the Pokemon that got her this far. After Yazmyne is set, she is formerly introduced, and Garrett walks out to be formerly introduced too. The field is set to be a water battlefield, and the match begins. Garrett chooses Milotic as his first Pokemon, while Yazmyne chooses Elekid. the referee grants Garrett the first move, and he commands Dragon Tail. Milotic's tail glows blue and slams it on the water, sending a torrent of water to Elekid. the torrent strikes the plate of water Elekid is standing on and knocks him into the water. Milotic dives and uses Twister. The dragon-storm blends with a water for large tempest that engulfs Elekid, striking him from all directions. Elekid, however, destros the vortex with a powerful discharge. Elekid descends and Milotic prepares to attack with Dragon Tail. Elekid, however, catches Milotic and flips her into the water. Milotic resurfaces and launches a Dragon Pulse, but Elekid bats the attacks away with Focus Punch. He follows by inserting his arms into the water and fires a Discharge, with the water acting as a massive conductor. Milotic is horribly shocked, and she falls over unable to battle. Yazmyne saddens from taking out one of her favorite Pokemon, but she takes the lead as Milotic is recalled. Garrett calls his second Pokemon, a Shedinja, a Pokemon Yazmyne admits she's never seen and she cannot scan it on her Pokedex at the moment. Nevertheless, Yazmyne commands Discharge, but the attack goes right through Shedinja. Elekid attempts Focus Punch, but the attack does nothing. Garrett smirks and commands Shadow Ball, striking Elekid. Shedinja fires another Shadow Ball, but Elekid dstroys this one with Discharge, causing a beautiful fireworks display. Shedinja follows with Shahow. Elekid jumps in the water to dodge, but Shedinja strikes the water to create a veil. Shedinja then appears behind Elekid and attacks with Shadow Sneak, which defeats the baby Pokemon.
Yazmyne recalls Elekid. She deduces that Shedinja must he a Ghost-Type, as Focus Punch failed. Discharge also failed, so Shedinja should be part Ground too, but Shedinja shows no Ground-Type attributes, but Bug-Type attributes. Yazmyne sighs and tests the waters with Starmie. Starmie fires a Water Pulse, but Shedinja dodges and strikes with a fast Shadow Sneak. Yazmyne, however, has gotten Shedinja close and commands Bubblebeam. The mysterious Pokemon fires the bubbles but none affect Shedinja. The Ghost-Type then follows with Swords Dance for a large attack boost. Yazmyne deduces that Shedinja must have an ability that makes it immune to certain attacks, perhaps special attacks, for Discharge and Bubblebeam were rendered useless. As she thinks this, Shedinja goes for Shadow Claw; Starmie uses its quick reflexes to dodge, and Yazmyne informs Starmie that it cannot win, only knowing special water attacks and two normal attacks with only one being offensive. At this, Yazmyne recalls Starmie, which marks her defeated and Yazmyne left with four Pokemon. 
Yazmyne decides to fight fire with fire and sends Butterfree to battle. This causes an uneasy look on Garrett's face's whose been confident since Shedinja was sent to battle. Based on her theory that only physical attacks will work, Yazmyne decides to had Butterfree attack quickly, but first decides to power him with Quiver Dance. Butterfree glows green and white, gaining speed and power. Shdinja powers up again with Swords Dance. It then unleashes a Shadow Ball, which Butterfree gracefully dodges. Garrett commands Shadow Claw and Yazmyne responds by commanding Aerial Ace. The two Pokemon charge their attacks and go to strike for a direct collision, skimming the water in the process. The end up on the other side of the field with both Pokemon fainting. Garrett and Yazmyne recall their Pokemon with Garrett explaining that Shedinja's ability is Wonder Guard, which only allows super-effective attacks to strike, but when they do, Shedinja are immediately defeated. Butterfree, however was defeated due to Shedinja's double Swords Dance attack boost. Yazmyne thus thinks that her Pokemon would not have fallen if she were more informed about Pokemon. 
She then sends Wigglytuff into battle while Garrett chooses Tangela. Tangela attempts to grab Wigglytuff with Power Whip. Wigglytuff dodges and performs Sing, putting Tangela to sleep. Wigglytuff then torches Tangela with Flamethrower. A following Hyper Voice defeats the Grass-Type. 
===BA098===
The episode begins with a recap of the conference events, all of Yazmyne's battles and her current one, her in the semifinals against Garrett. Yazmyne is under a severe disadvantage; with Clefairy having just been defeated, Yazmyne is left with two Pokemon to combat Garrett's reamining four. 
As her fifth Pokemon, Yazmyne call Aerodactyl to battle, a Pokemon none of the competitors have seen Yazmyne use. Garrett, however, is undaunted and commands AncientPower from Tangrowth, but Aerodactyl matches the attack with his own AncientPower, causing a large explosion. Aerodactyl then takes flight. At Garrett's command, Garrett goes to catch Aerodactyl with Power Whip. Aerodactyl, however, catches the vine with his mouth and bites Tangrowth with Thunder Fang. Aerodactyl releases a surge of electricity from his teeth and shocks Tangrowth, also paralyzing him. Aerodactyl follows with Hyper Beam, defeating the Grass-Type.
Garrett recalls Tangrowth and sends Raichu into battle. Raichu opens with Thunderbolt, but Aerodactyl swerves around the attack and fires a Hyper Beam. Raichu blocks the attack with Light Screen. Aerodactyl lands on the ice to recharge, and Raichu takes the opportunity to strike with Iron Tail. Aerodactyl takes the attack, but bites the Mouse Pokemon's tail. Garrett uses the connection between the two Pokemon and commands Thunderbolt; Yazmyne commands Steel Wing. Raichu releases the electric attack, but it has no effect. The MC directs the audience to Aerodactyl's wing, glowing with Steel Wing. He's redirecting the electricity into the ice, so it will have no effect. Yazmyne then tells Aerodactyl to return the favor with Thunder Fang. Aerodactyl releases electricity from his teeth, shocking Raichu. The Electric-Type, however, breaks away with Iron Tail. At Garrett's command, Raichu attacks with Iron Tail again striking, Aerodactyl. Raichu bounces back and dashes with Volt Tackle. Garrett thinks that if Raichu can for Aerodactyl off the ice, he will be vulnerable to a direct Thunderbolt and will be too close to dodge. Raichu closes in on Aerodactyl. The Fossil Pokemon leans back on the ice and catches Raichu with his feet. Aerodactyl then bats Raichu with his Steel Wing. Raichu is knocks across the ice and slides. Aerodactyl re-positions himself and attacks with Hyper Beam. Garrett tells Raichu to dodge, but Raichu merely falls on the ice and is blasted by Aerodactyl intense attack. The referee pbserves Raichu's condition and declares him unable to battle.
Garrett recalls Raichu, and the two trainers are left with two Pokemon, contrasting he trainers' quarterfinal victories, where they each had three or more Pokemon to spare. Garrett commends Yazmyne on her comeback, and decides to send his ace into battle, his Vaporeon. Vaporeon attacks first with a Shadow Ball-Auora Beam combination, but Aerodactyl bats away the attack with Steel Wing. Vaporeon fires another Shadow Ball, which Aerodactyl also dodges. He then lauches an AncientPower. Vaporeon jumps to evade the attack, and goes for Aurora Beam midair. Aerodactyl dodges and goes to bite Vaporeon with Thunder Fang. However, Vaporeon has successfully lured Aerodactyl and strikes with Aqua Tail for a direct hit, and Aerodactyl crashes into the ice. He crawls to his feet, but its damaged from the attacks from Tangrwoth and Raichu. Vaporeon lands and uses Hydro Pump; Aerodactyl launches Hyper Beam. The attacks collide for a large explosion hits both Pokemon. 
The smoke from the explosion clears, and Aerodactyl is shown, unable to battle. Yazmyne recalls the Fossi Pokemon and sends out her last Pokemon, Eevee to combat Garrett's Vaporeon. Garrett wants to defeat the pre-evolution with a single attack and Vaporeon launches a Hydro Pump. Eevee strikes the ice with Iron Tail, causing ice rocks to bust from the ground. The ice sharde blocks the attacks and Eevee surrounds Vapreon with Hidden Power. Eevee then uses its contest combination, striking one of the crystal orbs with Iron Tail, causing the Hidden Power to strike Vaporeon repeatedly from all directions. Garrett commands Aqua Tail, flinging its tail in a circular motion with the water destroying the crystal orbs for a dazzling effect. Eevee and Vaporeon stare each other down and begin a clash of Hidden Power and Aurora Beam. The screen pans to Savannah, Mom, Megumi, Andrew, and a dark silhouette figure who are watching the intense battle between Garrett and Yazmyne. Thy all watch Eevee avoid a Shadow Ball with Double Team and Vaporeon dodge and Iron Tail. Eevee is then hit with a Hydro Pump, but Vaporeon is hit with a Hidden Power. The screen turns back to the battle, and the battling Pokemon collide with Aqua Tail and Iron Tail, both attacks causing sparks as they clash. Both Pokemon land, and are clearly exhausted. Vapreon goes for a final Hydro Pump, but Eevee dodges with Double Team. At Yazmyne's command, Eevee then releases six plates of red energy with Trump Card. Vapreon is struck by the poweful attack and collapses,unable to battle. Eevee pants heavily from the tiring batle as Garrett is forced to recall Vaporeon for his sixth Pokemon a Ditto. The Ditto immediately uses Transform, turning into Yazmyne's Eevee. Ditto uses Hidden Power. Eevee strikes the orbs with Iron Tail, causing them to strike one another and destroy each other for a sparkling effect. Yazmyne then commands Trump Card, but Eevee cannot move. The Evolution Pokemon tries to attack, but she collapses from the exhaustion and the damage she sustained from battling Vaporeon. Bitto then attacks the fallen Eevee with Iron Tail for a powerful strike, much to Yazmyne's disappointment. Yazmyne, understanding the situation, lowers her head as the referee declared Eevee unable to battle. Thus, Garrett is the winner and is the first to advance to the finals. Yazmyne walks onto the ice field and recalls Eevee. Garrett recalls Ditto, who transforms back into its original form. Garrett and Yazmyne shake hands with rushing off the field, teary-eyed. As she head to the back, she cries over her defeat, understanding how Megumi felt when she lost to savannah in the semifinals of the Kanto Grand Festival. It hurts to work so hard, come so close, and fail. Nick, however appears and consoles her, but first states that she won her very first Grand Festival, becming a Legendary Coordinator, and came in the Top 4 of her first league conference. In addition she beat him in the festival. She has to right to cry, but Nick lets her keep crying, so she can properly oversome future defeats. 
The screen spans to the last day of the tournament, the finals with Marcus battling Garrett, showing that Marcus defeated Baker in the semifinals. Marcus is down to his last Pokemon, a Lapras, while Garrett is at his fifth, Shedinja. Lapras know no moves to combat Shedinja's Wonder Guard ability, and the Trasport Pokemon is defeated by a barrage of Shedinja's Ghost-type attacks and a Solarbeam, giving Garrett the victory and making him the winner of the Indigo Plateau Conference. The stadium cheers at his victory, and he is later awarded the Indigo League Trophy with Vaporeon at his side. That night is the reception, filled with the bright stars, fireworks, and Garrett as the guest of honor.
The next morning, Yazmyne is shown at the Pokemon Center getting a phone from Andrew, who tells Yazmyne that she is sorry for her defeat, but she should be proud. She won the Kanto Grand Festival and came Top 4 in the Indigo Conference, with Pokemon who normally would not make it pass the first round. Yazmyne chuckles at this comment, and Andrew informs her that he'll be waiting for their rematch with Yazmyne stating that she'll emerge victorious this time.
Yazmyne walks out of the Center with Eevee on her shoulder and Ivysaur at her side. As begins to walk to Viridian City, Nick appears, running to Yazmyne. She asks why he was running, and Nick exclaims that she can't leave without him and that she owes him a response, whether or not Yazmyne is coming with him, Megumi, and Savannah to the Riau Region. Yazmyne states she forgot about that, much to Nick's chagrin, but Yazmyne tells Nick that she spoke to Garrett before he left the conference site. She asked him where his net stop was and Garrett said it was natural for him to train to compete against the Kanto Elite Four, but he is deciding to continue travelling, pick a new region and travel there with a new team and train for the net tournament.he then left, deciding to challenge the Unova League. With this said, Yazmyne states she may be a Top Coordinator, but her days of contests are not over, and she'd love to keep competing with her firends and rivals. At his, Yazmyne informs Nick that she'll go to Riau. Nick is happy to hear this until Yazmyne states that she can't wait to win more ribbons and beat them in the Riau Grand Festival just like in the Kanto Festival. Nick rebuffs her statement, telling her he's going to wi. The two share a laught and head to Viridian City for yazmyne's rematch with Andrew.
