(Next Morning)
"Oh no." Dawn and May say in a disappointed tone unison as they see the match ups for today. Dawn has been matched up with Serena and May has been paired with Ash.
"Looks like you guys are going to get eliminated this round." Brock says in a sad tone.
"I know. But we will give it our all." Dawn says while smiling to May's agreement.
"Best of luck Dawn." Paul says before giving her a kiss on the cheeks. This surprises everyone since Paul has never displayed any signs of affection in public since he had started dating Dawn.
"Why thanks Paul. I'll do my best." Dawn says while beaming and blushing a little.
"I'll be cheering you on. Remember don't make the same mistake Misty did. Stay focused for the most unpredictable move possible." Paul says.
"That's right." May says as she gives her friend an encouraging nod.
"All right. I'll see you guys later." Dawn says as she leaves for her battle.
(In the Battle Field)
"Well Dawn. How are you?" Serena asks.
"Good. What about you?" Dawn asks back.
"I am good as well. Thank you for asking. Now shall we get this battle started?" Serena asks.
"You bet. I won't go easy on you." Dawn says.
"Both trainers ready?" Referee asks to which both Serena and Dawn nod.
"Alright then. Release your first Pokemon." Referee says.
"I'll choose first. Rhyhorn let's go." Serena says as she releases Rhyhorn.
"In that case I'll go with Piplup." Dawn says as Piplup goes onto the battlefield.
"Battle begin." Referee says.
"First move takes the win. Piplup Bubble Beam." Dawn commands as Piplup fires Bubble beam.
Serena doesn't say anything as Rhyhorn gets pelted by bubble beam. After the attack is over Rhyhorn simply shakes the water of by ferociously shaking it's head.
"Misty's bath of an attack didn't do a thing yesterday so you thought a bubble bath would do better instead?" Serena says in a taunting tone. Dawn however ignores it and gives the next command.
"Piplup Hydro Pump." Dawn commands.
"I see staying focused on the task at hand. Not bad. Rhyhorn use Flash Cannon." Serena says as she sees Piplup powering up Hydro Pump.
Both Attacks meet midway but Flash Cannon comes out of the explosion towards Piplup.
"Dodge and use Whirlpool." Dawn says as Piplup creates a Whirlpool.
"Focus Blast, aim it at the bottom vortex. Follow it up with another Flash Cannon." Serena commands.
Focus Blast hits the bottom vortex of the Whirlpool causing the whirlpool to collapse on itself and sweep Piplup in a swirling current of water.
"Piplup." Dawn says in a worried tone. She breathes a sigh of relief to see Piplup alright but then she sees Rhyhorn releasing a Flash Cannon.
"Quick use Bide." Dawn commands just before Flash Cannon makes contact with Piplup.
