A Grand Contest Debut!/Transcript

* (Episode begins)
* Narrator: Making their way to Fallarbor Town and May's next contest, our heroes arrive in a place called Apricot Fields, for a quick break. Well, almost everyone.
* (We see Yui practicing her moves with Huggy)
* Yui: Huggy, spin and use Breaking Swipe.
* (Huggy does so, but unfortunately, she got dizzy from the spin, and pants in exhaustion before turning to Yui)
* Huggy: Goo, Goo Goodra... ("Yui, this is hard...")
* (Yui sighed in disappointment)
* Azusa: (V.O.) Yui-senpai?
* (Yui turned and saw Liam, Azusa, Ui, Ben, Mugi and Ashley)
* Yui: Azu-nyan, Li-san, Ben-san, Mugi-chan, Ashley-chan and Ui? What are you all doing here?
* Liam: We came over to check what you and Huggy were doing. Was Aden here watching the whole time?
* Aden: Yes, I was.
* (Ui knew that look on her sister's face)
* Ui: You've been thinking about polishing Huggy's moves for your contest debut, haven't you?
* Yui: Yes, Ui. I've been trying to come up with different ways for Huggy to combine her moves together.
* (Ben was holding his Pokémon egg, which was in an incubator that he got from the Winstrate Family)
* Ben: Yui, you're the one who can make your dream come true. All you got to do is hold on to it.
* Mugi: Ben's right, Yui-chan. Sooner or later, you'll have to enter a Contest.
* Azusa: Speaking of contests, there's one being held here. I recommend that you should enter it, Yui-senpai. This'll be a great opportunity to make your grand debut as a Coordinator like May and Miki did.
* Yui: (unsure) I'm not sure, Azu-nyan. I'm sure I'll get nervous if I do enter.
* Liam: Listen, Yui. There's no need to be nervous. Just be yourself. Remember what Ash said about a Pokémon's feelings a few weeks ago? If the trainer is nervous, then the Pokémon will be too, just like how May felt with her Beautifly during her first Contest in Slateport City.
* Yui: Well...
* Ashley: Well, what?
* (Yui looks at Ashley)
* Ashley: Is something on your mind?
* (Yui tells her everything)
* Ashley: So that's it, huh? Hey, sometimes being nervous about something, getting that feeling way down in your stomach, just means you're ready for whatever you plan to do.
* Yui: Then that means, I'm ready for...?
* (Ashley just nods before Yui's expression turns from worry to confidence)
* Yui: Okay, I'll give it a try.
* Ben: Atta girl, Yui!
* Mugi: Well, now that that's settled, what Pokémon do you think you'll use?
* Yui: I'll be using Huggy. You think you can handle it, Huggy?
* Huggy: Goo Goodra! ("I'll handle it, you just need to stay confident.")
* Azusa: Huggy says can handle it, and you just need to stay confident.
* Mugi: Miki said that she'll help you overcome your nervousness by taking part in the contest.
* Miki: And I always stay true to my word. Let's get down to rehearsing!
* (Soon, a kid comes in and looks at Yui and Huggy, unimpressed)
* ???: Entering the contest, huh? Well, don't even think about entering the second round, I'll freeze you right in place.
* Liam: We've seen that Pokémon before, Pryce has one.
* Azusa: Yeah, that's a Walrein, Sealeo's evolved form.
* Kathy: A Walrein?
* (Kathy got her Pokédex out)
* Dextette (Kathy's): Walrein, the Ice Break Pokémon. Walrein is the evolved form of Sealeo. It uses its thick blubber to protect itself from both the cold and an opponent's attacks. Walrein also uses its large tusks to pierce and crush thick ice.
* Ben: And just who do you think you are?
* ???: If you must know, the name's Axel. Memorize it.
* Yui: (in thought) Is he entering the contest, too?
* Axel: This is only going to be my second contest, but for you, I have a gut feeling it'll be your last.
* (Axel turns and walks away)
* Yui: (quietly) I hope I don't end up facing him.
* (Later, at the stadium, Vivian is greeting the crowd)
* Vivian: Welcome, one and all, to the Apricot Fields Pokémon Contest! I'm your host, Vivian, and these are our judges! First, we have the Chief of the Pokémon Activities Committee, Mr. Contesta! Next to him, the President of the Pokémon Fan Club, Mr. Sukizo! And last but not least, Apricot Fields' very own Nurse Joy! Our coordinators better do their best our there, because we've got some steep competition today. And now, without further ado, let's get this contest started!
* (Moments after the contest gets started, Yui is in the locker room waiting to go on)
* Yui: (in thought) All those amazing Pokémon attacks. I hope mine will be any good.
* (Soon, Miki is in the Appeals round)
* Vivian: Looks like entry number 17, Miki Sunshine of Valencia Island is surprising us all with her Pikachu, named Kanehekili, is showing his intense cuteness with a combination of Electric Terrain, Rising Voltage and Volt Tackle.
* Miki: Now let's crank the charm level up to 11!
* (Sometime later, Yui was still watching and waiting anxiously)
* Yui: (in thought) Even Miki seems better at this than me. Should I just give up and leave?
* (Yui then saw Axel up on the screen)
* Yui: (gulps) I don't want to back out, but going up against Coordinators like that?
* (Yui then remembered when she first joined her school's Light Music Club)
* Yui: (in thought) Now I remember how I felt when I first joined my friends to form our band. Well, may as well try it and see how I do.
* (A bit later)
* Vivian: Well, we've seen a lot of exciting performances from our coordinators today, but now we have a new one making her grand debut. You may have seen her in the papers, so prepare to be surprised, because here's entry number 19, Yui Hirasawa from the famous band, After School Teatime.
* (The rest of the team sees Yui looking super nervous and shaking like a leaf)
* Ui: Uh oh. Big sis looks nervous.
* Luca: Yeah.
* Aden: Definitely.
* (Azusa soon got an idea)
* Azusa: Yui-senpai! Just stay calm! Remember what Liam told you?
* Snowbelle: Meowstic, Meow. ("Do your best out there, Yui.")
* (Yui remembered what Liam said earlier, and closes her eyes for a bit, before taking a deep breath. Her expression changed to serious and composed as she held Huggy's Pokéball in her hand)
* Yui: Huggy, let the show begin!
* (Huggy materializes)
* Vivian: Well, this is quite a surprise! Yui is using a pseudo-legendary Pokémon that's native to the Kalos Region called Goodra.
* (Sayo, who had never seen her Goodra before, got out her Pokédex)
* Sayo: So Huggy must be what Yui named her Goodra.
* Pokédex (Sayo's): Goodra, the Dragon Pokémon, a Dragon type. Goodra is highly affectionate and friendly, but when angry, it can go into an uncontrollable rampage, sending a dump truck flying with its powerful thick tail.
* Ben: Well, she's on stage and her Pokémon's entrance worked.
* Mugi: Let's see what Yui has planned to dazzle the judges.
* Emily: And how.
* (We cut to Yui)
* Yui: Use Sunny Day!
* (Huggy calls out towards the sky, causing the sun to shine brighter to fill the stadium.)
* Vivian: Someone wasn't kidding when they said that the sun is in your eyes! What an intense Sunny Day from Goodra!
* Kaede: Why would Yui call for a move like Sunny Day? Unless she's got something planned for it.
* Ashley: You're right, Kaede. Yui might have a plan.
* Buddy: Pika Pika, Pikachu. ("And hopefully, it'll be a good one")
* Yui: Now shoot a Hydro Pump in an arch near the sun!
* (Huggy then fires a Hydro Pump in an arch to take in the light from the sun, which causes a rainbow to appear and cover the whole room in a rainbow of pretty colors)
* Vivian: Now I get what Goodra's doing; she's using Hydro Pump in combination with the Sunny Day from earlier to form a rainbow of colors that are filling the whole stadium!
* Miki: I did not know that could be done....
* Ace: Neither did I, Miki. What a clever way to show off Huggy's abilities.
* (Yui jumps on to Huggy's back and points to the sky, brimming with confidence)
* Yui: Now, use Draco Meteor!
* (Huggy fires of a Draco Meteor into the rainbow before it explodes into showers of rainbow-colored meteors in a dazzling display)
* Vivian: What a dazzling display! The meteors made by Goodra's Draco Meteor have created a rainbow shower surrounding both Yui and Goodra!
* Nurse Joy: What a magnificent way to show off Goodra's abilities.
* Mr. Sukizo: Those colorful meteors are remarkable too.
* Raoul: Yui really put her best foot forward for her first time as a Coordinator.
* Yui: And now for the finale! Use Attract!
* (Huggy formed a large heart and launched it into the sky which burst into pink sparkling hearts for the finish, Yui soon leaps off of Huggy and lands before she and Huggy both take a bow. The crowd exploded into applause)
* Vivian: What a beautiful way to finish the performance with a lovely Attract. But what do the judges think?
* (The judges each gave Yui a 9.9, which gave her a total of 29.7)
* Vivian: 29.7! That's the highest score we've seen up to this point, that high score leaps Yui right into first place.
* (Yui hugs Huggy with praise)
* Yui: Huggy, you did it.
* Huggy: Goo. Goodra! ("No, YOU did it!")
* Ashley: Huggy said that you did it, Yui-senpai, not her!
* Yui: You're right. I guess I did do it!
* (Later in the locker room, Yui was still elated over her first-round victory)
* Miki: I saw what happened out there, Yui. Nice job.
* Yui: Thanks, Miki. I hope the judges thought it was good enough for me to pass into the second round.
* (Soon, the selection who will make to the second stage is shown on the TV screen with both Yui and Miki among those who passed the appeals round)
* Yui: Alright! I made it through!
* Ashley: I'm not surprised, Yui! You and Huggy were totally in sync and dazzled the judges during the appeals round, so it's no wonder your number 1 on the list, and Miki isn't far from you, too.
* Miki: Yeah.
* (Yui looks at the screen, still beaming with pride before she saw that Axel also made it to round two. Later, Miki was ready for her battle against none other than Axel himself)
* Miki: You ready for this Kanehekili?
* Kanehekili: Pika! ("Yeah!")
* (We cut to later the battle between Miki and Axel as Kanehekili jumps out of the way from Walrein's Body Slam)
* Vivian: Pikachu manages to jump out of the way of that Body Slam with excellent finesse.
* Axel: Use Hail.
* (Large chunks of ice materialize above and fall towards Kanehekili)
* Vivian: Better duck for cover, Walrein's starting the battle by creating a hailstorm!
* (Mugi was observing Walrein's abilities)
* Mugi: Walrein is utilizing its Ice Body ability to protect itself from the hail.
* Ben: I had to deal with that move a few times, and I'd say it's my least favorite ice move because it could put the trainers and spectators in danger.
* Liam: How can Miki deal with a powerful Pokémon like Walrein, even if Kanehekili has the type-advantage from being an Electric type?
* Snowbelle: Meow Meowstic stic, Meowstic! ("She has to think of something, and fast!")
* Azusa: You're right, Snowbelle. (turns to Kathy) She's saying that Miki has to think of something, and fast!
* Kathy: But what can she do? She's running out of options.
* Plucky: Busken. ("And how.")
* Fei Ku: Now I'm even more worried.
* Kaede: She's letting Axel pick up the pace, because she didn't know how powerful his Walrein can be.
* Lingshen: Does that mean that Kanehekili is a sitting duck at this point?
* Kaede: Fraid so.
* (Back on the battlefield...)
* Axel: Now use Surf!
* (A giant wave comes hurdling towards Kanehekili)
* Vivian: Looks like the tide's coming in hard and fast as Walrein rides the waves of its powerful Surf attack.
* (The wave and Walrein closed in)
* Miki: Kanehekili, pull a Matrix move and use Iron Tail!
* (Kanehekili used his tail to launch himself in mid-air away from Walrein's Surf, while the camera rotates around him ala the Matrix, before he divebombs on Walrein tail first)
* Vivian: Holy smacker! With a move that looked like it belonged in a Pokémon adaptation of The Matrix, Miki's Pikachu landed a hard bonk on Walrein's head with a hard Iron Tail!
* (Walrein landed on the ground and recomposed itself)
* Axel: Use Sheer Cold!
* (Walrein launches his Sheer Cold, which Kanehekili couldn't dodge in time as he was still catching his breath after landing the Iron Tail. He quickly got struck by the move and was blown right into the wall behind Miki, knocking him out instantly, and forcing the judges to call a Battle-Off)
* Vivian: Walrein's Sheer Cold has put an end to Miki's performance battle. And Axel moves on to the final stage.
* (Miki ran over to where Kanehekili hit the wall)
* Miki: Kanehekili, speak to me. Are you okay?
* (Kanehekili regains consciousness and looks at Miki weakly)
* Kanehekili: Pika Pi. ("I'm alright. Sorry, Miki...")
* Miki: Don't be sorry. You battled amazingly well, even if you lost a second time to another Walrein. Guess we didn't expect that it would know Sheer Cold.
* (Up in the grandstands, the group was surprised)
* Miya: I can't believe what I just saw.
* Mio: Yeah, Miki lost, and history has repeated itself for Kanehekili.
* Miya: What do you mean by that, Mio?
* Mio: Basically, this is the second time her Pikachu, Kanehekili, has lost to a Walrein.
* Mugi: The first time that happened was a year ago, when Miki battled against Pryce who also had a Walrein, which Kanehekili had also lost to.
* Ben: It's all coming back to me now.
* (Sayo was more focused on the move that knocked out Kanehekili, she turns to Ben)
* Sayo: Say Ben, explain what the effect of Sheer Cold is?
* Ben: It's a move that launches a blast of nearly sub-zero wind, and any opponent hit by Sheer Cold is knocked out instantly. Pokémon in the Spheal, Vanillite and Snorunt families can get this move by levelling up.
* (Yui was shocked at Miki's result of losing to Axel)
* Yui: (worried) How can I beat a strong trainer like Axel?
* (Cut to Pokémon Trainer's choice)
* Yui: (V.O.) Trainers, which one of the three Pokémon is the best choice to battle a Walrein?
* (A picture of a Walrein is shown, and next to it are the pictures of a Blaziken, a Shiftry and a Ludicolo)
* Yui: (V.O.) Okay, trainers, if you chose Ludicolo, you were right!
* (Back to the show)
* Vivian: Ladies and gentlemen, with only less than 2 minutes left, Yui is dominating the round with her powerful Goodra as they both face off against Topa and her Masquerain.
* Topa: Masquerain, try Bug Buzz and then go into Air Slash!
* (Masquerain starts by sending out a vibration that causes Huggy to temporarily cover her ears before launching the Air Slash)
* Vivian: A classic strategy in every sense of the word, Topa's Masquerain has disoriented Huggy with Bug Buzz and now sent an Air Slash its way!
* Yui: Use Flamethrower, Huggy!
* (At first, Huggy's Flamethrower and Masquerain's Air Slash collide, but the attack gets overwhelmed by the Flamethrower and Masquerain is engulfed in flames)
* Vivian: What a super effective hit! Goodra's Flamethrower completely overpowered part of Masquerain's attack combination.
* (Masquerain then lands on the ground, knocked out cold and forcing the judges to declare a Battle-Off)
* Vivian: Topa and Masquerain have been eliminated, as Yui and Goodra move on to the final stage.
* (Yui was beaming with happiness)
* Yui: Way to go, Huggy!
* Huggy: Goodra Goo. ("That wasn't so tough.")
* (But Yui's excitement turned to worry, as she knew just who her final opponent would be, we cut to her in the locker, worried out of her wits until Ui arrived)
* Ui: (V.O.) Big sis?
* (Yui jumped and turns to see Ui, and with her were Aden, Luca, Ashley, Buddy, Liam, Azusa, Snowbelle, Miki, Ace, and Kathy)
* Yui: Ui, don't scare me like that.
* Liam: You seemed scared before we showed up.
* Azusa: I don't blame Yui-senpai for it, she'll be facing Axel in the finals. Remember, he beat Miki using Sheer Cold, and I think Yui's afraid that Huggy may fall to the same move that defeated Kanehekili.
* Snowbelle: Meowstic Meowstic stic. ("I don't blame Yui either for being scared.")
* Yui: That's what I'm afraid of, Azu-nyan. You saw the results when Kanehekili lost. (holds her head) How can I beat someone who has a one-hit KO move in Sheer Cold?!
* Miki: Yui's right, though it was upsetting when Kanehekili lost to a Walrein again, but you shouldn't be scared, Yui. After all, a battle's just a battle.
* Ace: Miki's right. What matters is having fun, right?
* Ashley: Everyone knows that. And there's no one better at having fun than you.
* Buddy: Pikachu Pika, Pika. Pika, Pika Pikachu?! ("You need to chin up right now, Yui. What happened to the Yui who's full of energy?!")
* Ash: (looks to Buddy and nods) So chin up, Yui. What happened to the girl who was full of energy?
* (Yui looked at her, surprised to hear what she said)
* Ui: And what's better, you have support from your whole family. And I mean it. Look!
* (What Yui saw made her look of worry completely vanish and turn into one of shock)
* Yui: (shocked) There's no way!!
* (Yui was in disbelief, the picture showed her parents watching the Contest on TV)
* Yui: Mom?! Dad?! Are they watching what I think they're watching?!
* Ui: (giggles) Of course, big sis! They're watching you perform in the Contest on TV. I told them that you would be entering your very first contest, and they said that they believe in you.
* (A flashback shows both parents on the phone talking to Ui)
* Yui's and Ui's Mother: Yui shouldn't ever lose hope when chasing her dreams. She's growing up as a woman, now that she has Aden, and he can take care of her whenever she feels down. On top of that, her Pokémon will always be there to support her all the way.
* Yui's and Ui's Father: And we support her too. Yui needs to big and go for the gold.
* (End of flashback)
* Yui: (teary-eyed) Mom...Dad...!
* (Yui wiped the tears from her eyes, before starting to beam with confidence)
* Yui: (determined) Okay, no more moping around and being nervous. (stands up) It's time to take the stage!
* Luca: That's the spirit, Yui.
* Miki: If anyone can beat Axel, it's you, Yui. Besides, you have your parents backing you up.
* Yui: Thank you, Miki.
* (Soon, the battle was about to start)
* Vivian: Ladies and gentlemen, this is it! It's time for the final battle that determines who walks away with the Apricot Fields Contest Ribbon! Introducing first, a competitor who's made almost everyone in his path freeze in place, Axel!
* (The crowd cheers)
* Vivian: And his final opponent, a young lady who surprised us all with her entrance and made more fans than she ever could with her music, ladies and gentlemen, the lead guitarist of After School Teatime, Yui Hirasawa!
* (The crowd cheers louder)
* Yui: (in thought) I know I'm in for a tough battle, but I need to be brave, and what my parents said is true. I have my Pokémon backing supporting me. No more lazing around and being scatterbrained. I have to do this for Miki's sake, her loss to Axel won't be in vain. I have to focus and win.
* (Yui's face was full of determination as she gripped Huggy's Pokéball tightly before looking at and nodding at it)
* Vivian: And so, with five minutes on the clock, let the final battle begin!
* (The clock starts ticking, as Yui confidently threw her Pokéball)
* Yui: Huggy, let the show begin!
* (Huggy materializes)
* Axel: Walrein, take to the ice!
* (Walrein materializes)
* Chamo: It's going to be a major problem for Huggy. Being a pure Dragon type means that she's at disadvantage over Walrein, due to it being part Ice type.
* Negi: Right, Chamo. Yui has to strategically think outside the box to defeat Walrein.
* Miya: But what does she have in mind is the question.
* (Down on the battlefield)
* Axel: Walrein, use Blizzard!
* (A large flurry of snow launches at Huggy)
* Vivian: And here comes Walrein's Blizzard to start it off! How will Yui respond?
* Azusa: Yui-senpai, if you're going to do something, do it now!
* Yui: Huggy, use your tail to jump.
* (Huggy slammed her tail on the ground, which gave her the boost she needed to make a huge leap over Walrein's Blizzard)
* Axel: How did she do that?!
* Vivian: What a huge leap! Goodra used its thick tail to jump and dodge Walrein's Blizzard!
* Kathy: Look at her go.
* (The scoreboard shows Axel losing a slight number of points)
* Ben: And she's already ahead because of Walrein's move missing its target. But the question is, how'd she come up with that?
* Mugi: She must've learned that technique by watching Ash's battle with Gary.
* (A flashback shows Gary's Nioqueen using her tail to jump, before attacking Ash's Snorlax with Double Kick)
* Mugi: (V.O.) His Nidoqueen used her tail to jump before attacking Ash's Snorlax with Double Kick, I remember that battle, it was during the first round of the victory tournament.
* (The flashback ends)
* Yui: Use Dragon Pulse!
* (The attack fires)
* Vivian: Incredible, Goodra's retaliating with a midair Dragon Pulse!
* (Walrein was hit by Huggy's mid-air attack, causing Axel to lose more points)
* Ui: Axel's losing more points!
* Ben: I think Yui might actually pull this off!
* Mugi: She's doing great so far!
* Sayo: I'll say. She's playing smart.
* (Huggy landed safely on the ground before Yui already decided what move to use next)
* Yui: Follow it up with Dragon Claw!
* (Huggy charges forward)
* Vivian: And Goodra continues on the offensive as she charges towards Walrein with Dragon Claw at the ready.
* (Up in the stands, the group was surprised)
* Liam: They learned how to use Dragon Claw.
* Azusa: Must've been during practice.
* Ben: By TM, no doubt.
* Axel: Use Ice Beam.
* (The attack fires right at Huggy, which hit and caused Yui to lose a slight number of points)
* Yui: Hurry and use Draco Meteor!
* (Huggy fired the attack, significantly damaging Walrein)
* Vivian: It looks like Goodra's not making it easy for Walrein, especially with a Draco Meter retaliation!
* (As Vivian talked, Axel lost more points)
* Axel: Use Hail.
* (Ice shards formed in the sky and started to come down on Huggy)
* Vivian: Walrein's causing another hailstorm! It looks like Axel is using the same strategy that defeated Miki in the first round.
* Axel: Now, Blizzard.
* (Huggy was quickly pelted by Walrein's Hail while also having to deal with the Blizzard blowing her way, causing Yui to lose some points)
* Yui: This isn't working! Huggy, fire back with Dragon Pulse!
* (Huggy quickly countered Dragon Pulse, which blasted through the Blizzard and hit Walrein)
* Vivian: It looks like Goodra managed to get back on track with that Dragon Pulse!
* (Axel soon lost some points)
* Axel: Fire an Ice Beam and make it a big one!
* (Huggy got hit from the side by the Ice Beam)
* Vivian: It looks like Goodra got sideswiped by a super effective Ice Beam!
* (Yui lost points but it stopped by just a sliver of points, barely indicating she was still in)
* Aden: Guess this is it...
* Ui: No, wait! Look at her points!
* (The camera shows Yui still had a few pixels of points remaining, causing the group to gasp in surprise)
* Miki: She could still win this!
* Yui: (worried) Huggy...
* (Yui then noticed Huggy's antenna like horns began to slow glow green, we also hear "U&I" playing in the background)
* Yui: Now what?
* Vivian: Amazing, Goodra survived the Ice Beam attack, and it appears that its horns are emitting a green glow as it appears to be absorbing a lot of energy, while the clock shows there's only less than a minute remaining.
* Mugi: Why are Huggy's horns glowing green?
* Ben: I'm not sure, but judging by the glow, I think Huggy just learned how to use Power Whip.
* (Yui realized what Huggy was doing)
* Yui: I know this move! Hey, Huggy. Keep gathering that energy and prepare to use Power Whip!
* (Huggy regained herself and charged in with its horns glowing green before grabbing Walrein with them and giving it a toss)
* Axel: What?! No way!
* (Huggy leaps up and smacks Walrein hard with its horns across the face before they both landed)
* Vivian: It looks like Goodra's coming back with a super effective Power Whip, and as a result, Axel's losing more points!
* (As Vivian spoke, Axel lost a huge number of points, before there was only a quarter left. We then cut to Yui, who had a more serious look to her)
* Yui: Huggy, I have a plan. (in thought) And I hope it works. (aloud) Start by doing what you did earlier, send Walrein into the air and hit it with Power Whip!
* (Huggy does so, making Walrein airborne)
* Yui: Now use Flamethrower on your Power Whip!
* (Huggy fired the attack, engulfing her still elongated horns in fire, shocking and exciting the audience)
* Liam & Azusa: Ah!
* Ui: Ah!
* Ashley: Whoa!
* Ben: What kind of crazy plan is this?! She could be damaging Huggy that way!
* Vivian: Look at that! This is the first time I think that ANYONE has seen an attack combination like a Power Whip mixed with a Flamethrower!
* Yui: Now let him have it!
* (Huggy smacks Walrein across the face with this Burning Power Whip)
* Vivan: An amazing combination with a devastating impact!
* (Axel loses even more points to Huggy's attack combination while the audience erupted in cheers)
* Aden: Amazing!
* Azusa: I didn't think Yui-senpai could come up with something like that!
* Liam: I'll say. She must've copied my strategy during my battle with Chuck!
* (Both Pokémon land, though Walrein barely manages to get up)
* Axel: Quick, Walrein. Use Sheer Cold.
* (Walrein prepares to charge up and fire the attack)
* Ben: If Huggy is hit by that Sheer Cold, then it's over.
* Yui: (shouts) GO!!!
* (Huggy darted forward and uppercut Walrein with all her might, causing the Sheer Cold move to disperse and fade away)
* Vivian: Nothing fancy about that, folks, a straight uppercut that hit right on the button!
* Axel: Walrein, no!!!
* (Walrein soon fell)
* Huggy: (confident) Goo Dra!! ("Check mate!!")
* (Walrein tried to get up, but couldn't, causing the judges to declare a Battle Off)
* Vivian: Walrein is unable to battle! In a spectacular upset with just 1 second remaining on the clock, Yui Hirasawa has won with a tremendous comeback!
* (The screen shows Axel lost all his points, and the timer stopped at 0:01 before that graphic is replaced with pictures of Yui and Goodra side by side with the word WINNER along the bottom, causing the crowd to explode in applause. As for Yui's friends and loved ones, they were loudest of all)
* Azusa: Yui-senpai did it! She beat Axel!
* Snowbelle: Meowww!! ("That was......AWESOME!!")
* Miki: I knew she could do it!
* Ace: (hugs Miki) So did I, my sunshine.
* (Mugi was filled with tears of joy and had her hand on her chest)
* Mugi: My heart's pounding like crazy after watching what happened.
* Ben: Shutting down Walrein's Sheer Cold was a risky idea, but Yui must've known that move was coming, so she took a big chance to stop that move from being launched, so she had Walrein's attack interrupted with the simplest move in the book, an uppercut. Still, it was a smart play.
* (Yui stood in silence, still trying to process it all)
* Yui: I.....did it...?
* (Huggy turned to her trainer and gave her a thumb up)
* Yui: (shocked) HOLY CHEESE, I DID IT!!! (runs over to Huggy) HUGGY!!
* (Yui, tearing up with happiness, glomped onto her Pokémon)
* Huggy: Goodra, Goo!! ("Yui, we did it!! We won!!")
* Yui: (beaming with pride) You were so amazing! You learned Power Whip at the perfect time and helped me win. (looks up at her) I love you so much.
* Huggy: Goodra, Goo. ("I love you, too.")
* (Yui soon heard a familiar voice chanting her name)
* Yui: Hm?
* (Yui saw it was Aden, she then had an idea and turned to Vivian)
* Yui: Hey, Vivian. Is it okay if I let (winks at Aden) "someone", join the victory celebration?
* Vivian: Sure.
* (Yui motions for Aden to come to her)
* Yui: Aden, why are you staring at me for? Get over here!
* (Aden, puzzled at first, happily obliges and joins her true love)
* Yui: Aden, I couldn't have done this without you. Your support and the support of my friends and family. And I mean this with all my heart, just like the day we met, I love you.
* Aden: I love you, too, my princess.
* (The two soon share a kiss)
* Vivian: Well, what do you know? That's just sweet and adorable.
* (A few minutes later, the victory presentation is underway)
* Vivian: Ladies and gentlemen, Apricot Fields' own Nurse Joy will now present the winner with her prize.
* (Nurse Joy approaches Yui with the ribbon in hand)
* Nurse Joy: This must be your very first ribbon, is that correct?
* Yui: Yes, why?
* Nurse Joy: I was at the edge of my seat watching your final battle.
* Raulo: As were the both of us.
* Sukizo: It was a really remarkable match.
* Nurse Joy: And so, we proudly present to you the Apricot Fields Pokémon Contest ribbon.
* Yui: Thank you, all of you.
* (Yui takes the ribbon with pride)
* Yui: I can't believe it, but I'm holding my very first Pokémon Contest ribbon!
* (Huggy chimes in to join the cheer with Yui.)
* Huggy: Goodra!! ("Alright!")
* (The crowd erupts in applause)
* Vivian: And with that, ladies and gentlemen, that brings our Contest to a close. Thank you all for joining us and thank you to all those tuning in at home! See ya next time! (winks)
* (Later that evening, the gang was outside the contest hall, with Yui giving Huggy her dinner)
* Emily: Yui, you were fantastico! Muy buena!
* Dora: I was about to say that.
* Yui: Thank you both. Though I have to admit that I still have a long way to go.
* (Ben looks and sees a familiar figure approaching)
* Ben: Oh, dear. Looks who's coming our way.
* (Axel arrives with its eyes hidden in his face, looking like he was mad)
* Miki: Axel...
* Axel: I want to say something to you, Yui.
* (Yui winces in fear)
* Yui: I can't watch!
* (But, when she opened her eyes, she saw that Axel was holding his hand out)
* Yui: Huh?
* Axel: That was a great battle today.
* Yui: Wait, you're.... not mad that you lost?
* Axel: Why would I be? I had a lot of fun out there.
* Kathy: And that's what a Pokémon battle is supposed to be, isn't it?
* Yui: Yeah. You're right. Thank you, Axel.
* (The two shake hands)
* Walrein: Wal Walrein rein, Rein. ("I've never had that much fun in a very long time.")
* Huggy: Goo? ("Really?")
* Liam: What did Walrein say?
* Azusa: Walrein's saying that he's never had that fun in a very long time.
* Axel: How can you tell what my Walrein said?
* Azusa: It's a gift that I have, Axel.
* Axel: I see. Anyway, we're heading off to partake our next contest. Be seeing ya.
* (Axel leaves, as Yui waves goodbye to him)
* Yui: Take care, Axel. We'll have another battle soon, I promise!
* (Miki smiles at Yui's growth, before turning to the others)
* Miki: Well, you know what they say, tomorrow is another day. Come on, let's go and meet up with Ash and the others, shall we?
* Narrator: And so, with the Apricot Fields Pokémon Contest now over, Yui has her very first Ribbon in hand from her first contest, but she also learned a very valuable lesson; if you want to make your family and friends proud, you have to grow up a little. Yui certainly has, as the journey of our heroes continues.
