It was now the day of Serena's first pokemon showcase. She was beyond nervous with the entire group reassuring her that everything would be OK.
Bonnie:I'm sure that you will be OK.
Clement:Yeah, you will do great.
Ash:You are going to do well.
Misty:Don't worry, I am sure you will be fine.
Serena then looks at Y/n for some more support.
Y/n:Remember Serena. Never give up!
Serena smiles cutely at this so Y/n blushes.
Serena:Thanks for your kind words Y/n.
She then has a talk with both Fennekin and pancham and they enter the pokemkn showcase hall. Meanwhile team rocket are here for Jessie's showcase and Shauna has now come here. Palermo is also ignoring comments from reporters.As the three girls are preparing, Y/n, Misty, Ash, Clement, Bonnie, James and Meowthare sitting in the audience, excitedly anticipating the upcoming performances. The Showcase begins Monsieur Pierrec ating as the master of ceremonies and showing the audience the Princess key the help of his Klefki. During his introduction, Palermo comments to herself that there won't be another Kalos queen like Aria. Monsieur Pierre announces that the theme for the first round will be Pokémon Styling, in which Performers are given ten minutes to dress up their Pokémon and lead them down the runway.
Shauna and Jessie, along with a Performer named Alouette are the first three Performers to compete in the styling round. Alouette gives her Furfrou a Pharaoh trim, Shauna arranges a bouquet of flowers on her Bulbasaur's bulb, and Jessie creates an enormous black costume for Pumpkaboo themed "Beautiful and the Beast" that is appreciated by no one in the audience save James and Meowth. The audience votes on their favorite Performer using their Glow Caster. Jessie receives no votes from the crowd except for James and Meowth, while Alouette and Shauna both receive a respectable number of them. Once the scores are tallied, Shauna is determined as the Performer to move on to the next round.
After several more competitions between Performers, it is finally Serena's turn. At first she is nervous, but when she and Fennekin look at each other, she is reassured and remembers that Fennekin is with her the whole time. Getting ready to style Fennekin for the Showcase, Serena remembers how Ash had once told her that nothing he and Pikachu did on their journey ever a waste of time or how Y/n told her to never give up. Thinking about this, Serena takes care to put all of her experiences into her performance with Fennekin. When it is finally time for the two of them to walk down the runway, things go well at first, and the audience has a positive reaction to Fennekin's outfit. However, when styling, Serena had failed to recognize that the long ribbon on Fennekin's neck might hinder its ability to walk, and Fennekin trips on the ribbon just as they are nearing the end of the runway, scattering the rest of its decorations everywhere. Devastated, Serena shares a hug with Fennekin before accepting defeat as she receives the fewest number of votes from the audience and is thus eliminated from the Showcase.
Having changed back into her usual outfit, Serena finishes watching the Showcase as Shauna uses her Bulbasaur and Flabebé o great effect in the Freestyle Performance, winning her the Princess Key. As soon as the Showcase ends, Palermo leaves, having fulfilled her obligation of watching it through to the end, and noting that as she expected, there was no one like Aria. That evening, Serena congratulates Shauna on her victory and promises not to tell Tiernk nd Trevor until Shauna has given them the news herself. Once Shauna leaves, Serena and Bonnie run ahead of Ash and Clemont to get some food. Clemont worries that Serena might not be all right after the disaster during the Showcase, but Ash reassures him, noting Serena's strength.
Afterwards she is walking off with Fennekin in her arms. Her friends ate trying to cheer her up but she just continued to walk off. Y/n decided that now wouldn't be the right time to confess his feeling for her. She also felt that now wasn't the right time.
Early next morning, Serena takes a walk with Fennekin and Pancham to a dock overlooking the ocean, and memories of Fennekin's accident run through her mind. Suddenly overcome by her disappointment, Serena begins to cry uncontrollably despite Fennekin and Pancham both trying to cheer her up. Palermo, whose limousine is driving by at that exact moment, recognizes Serena as the same girl from the Showcase and seems to take special notice of her, refusing to say anything specific about it to her companion. Blaming herself for her loss and at the same time feeling elated that she has finally been able to begin her dream, Serena draws scissors from her backpack, her hair above her shoulders as a reflection of her journey thus far. She also changes her outfit, donning a much more casual dress, hat and jacket with the ribbon Y/n had given her.Shen then come out and shows everyone her new outfit at which Y/n thought was very pretty.
The 6 of them then leave for their next destination, Lumiose city where Ash and Y/n will battle Clemont for their fifth Gym Badge.
