Dawn tells Piplup to help Togekiss and Zoey tells Gallade to block it. Gallade uses Vacuum Wave but Piplup dodges it with its spin move and jumps on Gallade's head into the air.

The Psycho Cut, gaining speed, follows and Piplup jumps off Togekiss's back to dodge. Dawn gets anxious and has Piplup initiate Whirlpool while Togekiss charges towards Gallade and Glameow. Piplup fires the Whirlpool but Glameow catches it with Iron Tail and Gallade disperses it with Vacuum Wave creating a beautiful sparkling effect. Dawn tells Piplup to use Peck and Togekiss use Sky Attack. Togekiss glows and charges then Piplup hops on Togekiss's head and its beak glows and grows. Piplup's beak shines a white light that turns red and surrounds both Piplup and Togekiss with Piplup's beak the only thing not in the red light; the two looking like a rocket or missile being launched with the beak being the rocket/missile and the red light being the fire. Fantina comments on the combination and Zoey loses points now being a little bit behind Dawn. Zoey tells Gallade to use Psycho Cut and Glameow to use Thunderbolt. Gallade jumps and initiates Psycho Cut while Glameow lifts its tail up. As Gallade lands on Glameow's tail, Glameow uses Thunderbolt and gives Psycho Cut an electric charge. Gallade jumps up and Dawn becomes excited and cheers Togekiss and Piplup on. Gallade fires the electrified Psycho Cut and still shots of Piplup on Togekiss, Gallade, Glameow, Zoey, then Dawn flash. Togekiss and Piplup collide with the Psycho Cut and a major explosion erupts along with a bright flash. Togekiss and Piplup are stumbling backwards and Gallade is falling backwards. Zoey and Dawn try to stand on their feet as the explosion is blowing them. Togekiss and Piplup land on their feet while Gallade lands and gets in a battle pose. Dawn and Zoey lose points, the smoke clears, and time runs out. Dawn and Zoey quickly look to the board and its revealed that Zoey is the winner, with Dawn having half as many points as Zoey. Dawn looks disappointed and everyone cheers for Zoey. Ash, Brock, Johanna, and [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] are sad that Dawn lost. Gallade and Glameow hug Zoey and Dawn picks up Piplup.
