Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn! (Japanese: 開幕!ポケモンコンテスト・アサツキ大会!!, HepburnBegin! Pokémon Contest—Daybreak Tournament!!) is the 4th episode of Pokémon: DP Sinnoh League Victors.

Synopsis[]

Our heroes finally make it to Daybreak Town for Dawn's next Pokémon Contest, where they suddenly come across a Plusle and Minun who happen to belong with one of Dawn's rivals, Ursula. The two cute Pokémon scare Dawn half to death, which perplexes the rest of our heroes. Dawn explains that when she was in kindergarten, she was part of a team responsible for taking care of the class Plusle and Minun. Once, they zapped her for chasing them around and then holding them a bit too tight, making her hair stand on end and sparkle, prompting the nickname "Dee Dee Dancer," or "Dee Dee" for short. Ursula overhears this story and taunts Dawn with it, vowing to beat her in the Daybreak Contest.

Since it's a Double Performance, all Coordinators use two Pokémon. Dawn's Piplup and Buneary prove masterful, sending Dawn on to the second round, along with Jessilina (Jessie in disguise) and Ursula. Ursula assures Dawn she'll beat her in the upcoming round. But Dawn, with renewed confidence after her successful performance, has other ideas in mind![1]

Episode plot[]

The heroes made it to Daybreak Town, just a day before the Contest. Ash and Brock advise her to master Flame Ice combo, in addition to other moves. When they come to the spot where some Coordinators practice, Dawn spots a Coordinator with a Plusle and Minun, which makes her upset as she lays down and acts hysterically. The woman turns around and they now see what made her upset; it is Ursula. Ursula greets them and asks if Dawn is competing. Dawn confirms and learns Ursula has also four ribbons. Ursula thinks she will win, as she presents Plusle and Minun that she raised for this Contest.

Ash and Brock try her convince that Plusle and Minun look cute, but Dawn does not want to see them. Ursula tells she is rude, so she apologizes. Ursula's Plusle and Minun attempt to cheer her up and get her hair messy, but sparkles. Feeling this, Dawn falls down. Team Rocket sees this and Jessie thinks this could get her an easy victory. James tells that his Carnivine could be a great help, so they promise to win the Contest with all the help they can offer for Jessie. Dawn wakes up and Ash gives her some hot milk to calm her down. Ash thinks she is upset that she couldn't catch a Plusle or Minun, but Dawn tells him it is not that.

Dawn has decided to tell her the story she should have told before. She was in kindergarten and once in a while caretakers for Plusle and Minun were chosen; to give them food and water. When she, Kenny and Leona were chosen, she was playing with them and got held them while Kenny and Leona gave them food and water. The Plusle and Minun electrocuted her a bit and her hair was shining like diamond, which is why Kenny named her "Diamond Dandruff", or Dee-Dee, shortly. When the teacher told a tale, Kenny called to Dee-Dee and the children laughed, embarrassing her. Dawn finishes her tale and the others laugh, as Plusle and Minun were provoked to attack her.

Ash and Brock reason with her, as it shouldn't make much sense now. They tell her the Contest might be something to get her thoughts calm, to forget this fear she had. Dawn has her confidence back and thanks Ash and Dawn for support, but Ursula heard the story as well. The Contest is about to start, as many viewers watch this double performance. Dawn calls Piplup back and places her Poké Ball in the capsule and places the seal, but suddenly, Plusle and Minun appear, as Ursula calls Dawn Dee-Dee. First is Jessilina, as James' Carnivine follows her. Marian reminds Jessilina it is the double performance, but Jessilina tells her she needs to be patient. She plays a flute and Carnivine opens its mouth, from which the Poké Ball inside its mouth her Seviper comes out. She plays the flute even more, which makes Carnivine and Seviper attuned to the music.

Seviper rolls and Carnivine uses Bullet Seed, which gets reflected and sparkles are sent away. After some performances, Dawn sends Piplup and Buneary to the stage. Piplup uses BubbleBeam and Buneary freezes the bubbles using Ice Beam. Next, Buneary bounces on the bubbles. Buneary spins and crashes the bubbles and Piplup does the same using Peck. This releases many sparkles and gives audience impression. Next Coordinator is Ursula, who sends Gabite and Jigglypuff. Jigglypuff spins on Gabite's wing spike, as it uses Roll Out to be bounced back and forth. Gabite uses Iron Tail to bounce Jigglypuff up, then uses Stone Edge, which causes sparkles to be sent around the stage in collision with Jigglypuff's Hyper Voice. Gabite uses Sand Tomb and Jigglypuff rolls in the sand using Gyro Ball, causing more sparkles to be sent out. Gabite uses Dragon Claw to place Jigglypuff on its spike and makes Jigglypuff not to spin anymore.

Round one is finished; Ash and Brock visit Dawn to tell her performance was amazing, even praising Piplup and Buneary. Ursula also visits Dawn to let her know she was not "energetic". The screen displays the next eight Coordinators, in which among them are Jessilina, Dawn and Ursula. Dawn reminds Ursula that they will battle, as their final ribbon is on the line. Ursula tells Dawn she will use Plusle and Minun and while she does not seem bothered, the duo appears and make her scared.

Trivia[]

  • The title is a reference to the saying "yes indeed" and is also a pun on Dawn's nickname "Dee Dee".

Mistakes[]

  • Ursula's Jigglypuff has green eyes, similar to the Shiny artwork. Dawn's Pokédex also displays a Jigglypuff with green eyes. This variation in Jigglypuff's anime artwork compared to its official Sugimori artwork is not an isolated occurrence.
