BA077

==Synopsis==
Nick watches T.V. at a local Pokemon Center as Yazmyne won her fourth Kanto Ribbon. He becomes crestfallen as he has yet to have earned another victory in two months. He earned his third ribbon a long time ago but lost three Contests in a row, losing to Allan's Swanna, Savannah's Wigglytuff, and Abigail's Arbok, but he is unaware that they are all also Yazmyne's rivals.
In this slump, Nick loses motivation to continue his training, leading his three Pokemon to try various new tricks and appeals to try to brighten his mood. One of Yazmyne's other rivals Heather encounters Nick in this slump and forces him to battle. Nick wins the battle but it doesn't truly liven him.
When they return to the Pokemon Center, an older gentleman is in distress because his Pokemon has gone missing. Nick helps find the man's Pokemon and as a thank-you, the man gives Nick a Fire Stone, but he doesn't know what to do with it. Growlithe, however, is entranced by the object and touches it, causing him to evolve in Arcanine. The sight of the Legendary Pokemon brightens Nick, who leaves the Pokemon Center to fight for his fourth Ribbon one more time.
