Be for the best! Be for the best! He's gonna be so surprised after all this time! Ha! My name is Ash. Yeah, I know. Serena's my name. Do you remember? Okay, come on. Oh! Hold on. Now I remember, hear the girl with the straw hat. Wow, that was you. But I never guessed you wouldn't remember me at all. Ash, look! Awesome! Looking good. When you want your rhihorn to walk, signal lightly with your feet. Look at it go! So cute! Perfect form. Okay, so how do you run? How do you know what Serena did? She taught me how to ride a rhihorn. Ash, you didn't have to tell her that, did you? Hey, it's the truth. And there's more. She told me to be one with rhihorn. Here, for you. What's this? Whoa, cookies. They look awesome. You got this? It's a gift for all of your hard work. Promise me something. Huh? If I happen to beat you in our battle, you're coming with me, sweetie. Is she serious? Her and Ash? No way! Where are you? What's that? A. A. The battle shadow. Battle shadow? I've never heard of it before. Ash, you're going to love this place. It's nearby. So let's go. Hey, Ash, what did you think? Oh me? I thought it was awesome. Be good! Jesper, Jes! Really? Serena is something wrong. You look worried. Huh? Bonnie's right. You do look worried. Are you nervous? Me nervous? Not at all. That's weird. Ash is the one who's battling not you. Yeah, I know. I didn't understand back at the Santelune Gym. Either you tell Ash how you feel about it, or I'll tell him how I feel. Huh? Don't say I didn't warn you. Hmm. Serena, we're going. Huh? Right. And because you're an awesome teacher, I learned how to ride. Well, it's really because you worked so hard at it. Wow, Ash and I are all alone. It's almost like we're out on their date. Huh? Here, take this. I wanted you to have something from me. But what for? I never would have been able to choose a present for them without your help. So this is just my way of saying thanks a lot. Huh? Oh. Thank you, Ash. I'll always treasure. Time for a change. I think it looks kind of cute. Yeah, I think so too. Oh, thank you, Ash. Huh? Is that ribbon? Yeah, it's the present he gave me. You're wearing it. Looks great. We got you! Battling with my Pokemon? Huh. Sounds like a great idea to me. You think so? Now that you've made up, sure would an awesome team the three of you can be. I think you're right. I'll give it a shot. This is one challenge or he's not going to be. What do you say, buddy? So have you come up with a strategy yet? Yeah! Oh, Helio Lisk! Hey, hey, hey! It's her! All right! Helio Lisk! Hey, Serena, what's the solve about? The actual models weren't able to make it today, and then they saw us. So Valerie asked if we wouldn't mind taking their places. Wow, your Pikachu is a true Pikachu pro. It's obvious that you've raised it peek-a-perfectly. Thanks a lot, Frank. A big hug. Those two sure are embarrassed. You cut your hair. Yeah, so what? So why did you do that? Something big happened in your life? What are you talking about? Huh? Beacock! Now here is this. We are going to settle things once and for all. And then, remember, I told you I might have a chat with Anne. Yeah! Later, bye. Mead sure seems ready to go. Mead! I'm ready to go tell! Right, that's the spirit, Serena. I'm sorry I tore the outfit Valerie gave me. I guess I should tell her how sorry I am. You know, it really looked great on you. Huh? Oh, thank you, Ash. He's telling the truth, you know. Huh? It's me, yet! Huh? And I haven't given up on our other competition, either. Huh? See you later, Ash. Okay, mead. Take care. Huh? Isn't it sweet? See you! How many can write on one? Two maximum. Bonnie, how about I write with you? Okay, Serena. Looks like it's you and me. Right! Spring moss. Yeah, found it! Well, Ash, how do you think I look? It looks comfortable. Yeah, you look great. Like the real nurse joy. Really? Thank! That Ash is always so upbeat. That's why you like him, right? Ah! Like him! It is true that his positive mental attitude is something I admire a bit. Huh? Wait, what was that? It wasn't important! Oh, okay. Or hereby requested to attend my dance party with the date. Whoa, so you need a date? Huh? Whoa! Huh? Huh? Whoa! Huh? So Ash, naturally you'll be cheering me on, won't you? Yeah! I'll be cheering a lot for all of you. Even if Serena and I battle head to head? Huh? Well, in that case, I'll be cheering all I can for Serena. Oh? Are you two on the other side? No, no, no, no, no, no! I'm not going to beat that! And, huh? There's you know who. Me, huh? Me, yes! Now's their chance. Now! Now! What's wrong? I... I... What? I... Oh yeah, good luck, Ash. Thanks, Serena. Huh? What you said made me snap out of it. I'm glad. Welcome back. I'm Ash Ketchum from Palatown. I want to become a Pokemon Master. That means... ...with the Colossalines. Serena is under control. That's that. It's decided. Ash will be moving on to the finals. I still didn't get it. I did! Wait, you got it. Congratulations, Ash. Ash is awesome. But a whim! Everybody wishes I'll play to that battle. Incredible. What are you going to do? Me? I don't know. You can stay with me, you know? Let's have a battle. He got it! Now? Wait! Come on. Hey, Ash! There's just one more thing! Huh? Thank you!
