[Pikachu and Piplup are sitting on the floor having Pokémon food for breakfast in separate bowls]
[off camera] Boys, the boat to Kanto leaves this afternoon, so be sure you're not late.
[The camera cuts to a better angle with Johanna, Dawn, Ash and Brock sitting at the table]
I want to make sure I buy plenty of Sinnoh gifts for everyone, so let's get an early start.
[The camera cuts to Piplup]
DDawn
[off camera] Well, you don't have to rush out of here too quickly.
I want to thank you two so much for everything you did for Dawn on your journey together. [The camera pans left to Brock and Ash] I can't tell you what a wonderful experience it's been for her as a trainer and coordinator.
There's no need to thank us. Travelling with Dawn has been lots of fun.
DDawn
So, Ash, do you think you're going to battle in another league again?
Hmmm, I don't know yet. First, I definitely want to go back to Pallet Town and thank my Pokémon for all the hard work they've put in for me.
Also, I'm certain your mother is really looking forward to you returning home. [The camera cuts to Piplup's worried eyes] And the same goes for Brock, of course.
DDawn
[off camera] Maybe, I'll go to Kanto, too.
Piplup? [What do you mean?]
[off camera] We could go together.
[off camera] Dawn, I most forgot. Something came for you in the mail.
DDawn
[off camera] For me?
[The camera cuts to Dawn at the table]
[off camera] Here. [Gives Dawn a magazine with Paris and her Lopunny on the front cover]
Remember Hermione, the editor? [Dawn picks up the magazine] You met her at the Hearthome Collection.
DDawn
I do remember. [The camera cuts to a picture of Hermione, Dawn, Buneary, Paris and Lopunny which is hanging on the wall] She's that awesome Pokémon stylist.
[off camera] Right, that's like a fashion designer for Pokémon.
Not only that, you won the Hearthome Collection, along with Buneary. Pikachu and I entered, but...
[A flashback to when Ash and Pikachu wore curly wigs and striped loincloths]
DDawn
You two sure got a lot of laughs!
[starts fantasising about Paris] Though I was much more interested in Paris, the Pokémon stylist idol!
Croagunk! [Quit your fantasizing!] [Poison jabs Brock]
Since when is it against the law to dream?! [Falls back on his chair]
[The camera cuts to Dawn and her mum]
DDawn
So what did Hermione have to say?
She said she wanted to talk to you about your Buneary.
Piplup? [What's happening?]
[Later, back at Dawn's house, everyone is watching a battle on television]
AAnnouncer
Now, battling for the title of Champion Master, it's Flint of the Elite Four's Infernape versus Champion Cynthia's Garchomp! [Flint speaks, but his voice is inaudible] And Flint commands Infernape to use Flare Blitz!
[The camera zooms in on Ash's left eye and Ash starts fantasising as Infernape uses Flare Blitz, but Cynthia's Garchomp flies away from the attack and uses Draco Meteor. Then, the English opening theme, We Will Carry On!, plays as Infernape and Garchomp battle it out]
SISong in Background
It's about you, it's about me. It's about hope, it's about dreams. It's about friends that work together, to claim their destiny. It's about reaching for the sky, (Pokémon) Having the courage and willing to try. It's about never giving up, so hold your head up, and we will carry on... [Ash imagines himself being in place of Flint] It's about reaching for the sky, (Pokémon) Having the courage and willing to try. It's about never giving up, so hold your head up, and we will carry on... [Infernape faints] Sinnoh League Victors.
[Cynthia has just defeated Flint without breaking too much of a sweat]
AAnnouncer
Infernape is down, unable to take out Cynthia's Garchomp after defeating two of her Pokémon. So once again, Cynthia defends her title as Champion Master and remains on her throne. Can anyone beat her?
[standing up] Yeah, I can! [Little did Ash realise, his wish would come true in the future...]
DDawn
That came out of nowhere.
Piplup. [That's a shocker.]
No way, Dawn. It's always on my mind. Someday, somehow, I'm going to win the Champion League and become Champion Master. [Again, little did Ash realise, that his wish becoming a Champion Master will come true but not in the way he expected...]
[Pikachu jumps up on Ash's left shoulder]
Pika. Pika, Pika. [Yep. You'll get your chance!]
[to Pikachu] You're right - and, of course, that means I'll finally be a Pokémon Master.
[The camera cuts to Brock]
[off camera] Pikachu! [Can't wait!]
DDawn
[off camera] Awesome, your big dream.
[Brock stands up]
Hey, guys. There's something that I've wanted to tell you.
The thing is, after watching you and Dawn going for your dreams, I've decided I need to go for a dream of my own. That's why I'm planning to use all of my experience... to become a Pokémon Doctor.
ADAsh & Dawn
A Pokémon Doctor?
But to become a doctor, I'll have to study hard, which means I won't have time to continue on our journey.
I understand. Go for it, Brock!
Pikachu! [Go chase your dream!]
Thanks, you two. Becoming a doctor will let me help out Pokémon from all over the world.
DDawn
So, Ash will be a Pokémon Master and Brock a Pokémon Doctor, and I'll be Top Coordinator. Sounds good to me! And no need to worry.
Whenever you say, "No need to worry," that's when I worry the most.
DDawn
No need, Ash - this time, I'm right!
[Ash, Dawn and Brock laugh]
[An invisible Meloetta is flying through the seaplane that Ash, Pikachu, Iris, Axew and Cilan are on. When she sees them, she hides behind a seat and then smiles]
MMeloetta
Etta. [She vanishes completely]
[The camera cuts to Ash and Pikachu]
Man, I want to win that Junior Cup so we can battle against Alder.
Well, not if I beat you first!
I guess we're rivals now.
Somebody you know is waiting for you in Undella Town.
[The camera cuts to the sea as the seaplane rushes past]
Our heroes and Cynthia are off, via seaplane, to Eastern Unova, where the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup will be held. [The seaplane goes high into the sky] What awaits them there? [The camera cuts to Undella Town, a coastal town which lies on the eastern side of the Unova region] Excitement and adventure await, and the unexpected...
[Dawn runs to the balcony of Cynthia's villa and sees the seaplane]
DDawn
Look, Piplup. I wonder if that's the plane they're on.
...as the journey continues.
[As Ash enters the living room, Dawn and Piplup sneak up behind him. Dawn taps on Ash's shoulder]
[As Ash turns to one side, Dawn steps aside, then Ash turns to the other side, Dawn steps on the opposite side]
Who's that? [turns around and realizes it's his pals from Sinnoh] Ahaha! It's Dawn!
Pi-Pi-chu! [Good to see you again!]
DDawn
Hi! It's been a long time, Ash! [gives Ash a wink]
Pip-Piplup! [Hiya Pikachu!]
[does the same thing] Sure has!
Pika-pika! [Hi again, Piplup!]
Both Ash and Dawn do their Hi-Touch high five]
[Oshawott angrily attacks Piplup with Aqua Jet given that Piplup was interacting with Meloetta, much to their trainer's shock]
Osha! [That'll teach ya!]
Piplup! [What do you think you're doing?!]
DDawn
Piplup, all you alright?
OSHAWOTT! Why did you do that to Piplup? Now say you're sorry!
Osha? ... Oshawott. [Sorry? Ugh... I'm sorry.]
...Lup! [...No, you're not!]
It looks like Oshawott like Meloetta.
DDawn
I'd say Piplup does too. Looks like there's a bit of competition going on.
[Backstage, Ash places his Z-ring, Dynamax band and Mega Gloves on. He then faces his Journeys team.]
Hey guys, you ready? Then let's do this! [The rest of the Journeys team declare themselves ready for the match.] We're gonna win, right?! [The team exclaim in agreement. Just then, a Piplup and Eevee run up to Ash and his team. Could it be...?]
What? [Just then, Dawn and Chloe show up into the backstage area]
We'll both cheer for you and since Goh couldn't make it, I'll cheer on his behalf too. [Nice substitutes, but where are the rest of Ash's other companions, not counting Tracey, Goh, and Iris?]
Besides, I wanted to let Eevee see a live tournament.
EEevee
Eevee! [You know it!]
DDawn
I can understand that. I watched all this time on TV, but I just had to be there for this!
Everyone's cheering for you, back at the lab. Give it you're all, okay?
The finals consists of a six-on-six full battle. There will be no limits on time or switching out Pokémon. The one who leaves all six of their opponents Pokémon unable to battle wins! Also, a contestant is only permitted to use Dynamax, a Z-move or Mega Evolution once per-
Just once is pretty boring. So come at me using them all, okay?
This is the ultimate test of the all out competition! I want to battle with all their power! That's right! And that's why I want all of your Pokémon to hit us with everything we got! Dynamax, Z-moves and Mega Evolution! I want to battle against all of them! I want to challenge them all and beat them all! What about you? Don't you want to see a full power battle?! [The crowd cheers loudly which is cool, but we need approval from the officials first, Leon!]
Go Lee! Yeah, that's my brother with the awesome ideas!
DDawn
That means it'll be an amazing match!! Alright, you can do it, Ash!!
[contacting the officials of Leon's proposition] Yes. Mmm-hmmm. I see. [hangs up] The officials in charge of the World Coronation series have agreed to Leon's suggestion! Ash, do you agree?
You bet! Sounds awesome! [Okay! Now we can start the show with this rule!]
