==Synopsis==
{{synopsis cleanup}}
This episode starts with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}} returning to [[Hearthome City]] for Ash's gym battle against [[Fantina]].  Much to Ash's disappointment, Fantina is yet again absent.  [[Brock]] begins to flirt with the girl at the gym but {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} intervenes.  {{an|Dawn}} immediately recognizes an Idol [[Pokémon stylist]] named [[Paris]] and her {{p|Lopunny}}. Upon seeing [[Dawn's Buneary]], the woman suggests her to enter the so-called "[[Hearthome Collection|Pokémon Collection]]", a famous fashion show for Pokémon Stylists. She also tells Ash that he should enter with {{AP|Pikachu}}.  They decide to enter as it would be good experience for the both of them.  While waiting in line, a group of girls nearby begin to squeal in excitement.  A tall, blonde woman walks in and begins to talk about wanting to win a piece of Paris's Collection.  A girl behind Dawn tells her that the blonde girl is [[Cocoa]].  Buneary runs over to Cocoa who shouts at her.  Dawn runs over to grab Buneary, apologizing to Cocoa.  Cocoa laughs cruelly about Buneary and the thought of a Pokémon like that ever beating her.  Dawn feels hurt and confused by the ladies coldness. 


Brock designs the outfit for Ash. Dawn is determined to make her own costume with her design but cannot seem to draw an outfit that fits with what Dawn wants to portray in the competition. Dawn then remembers the advice [[Zoey]] gave to her after the Solaceon Contest in [[Team Shocker!]], "Pokémon Contests are not about the trainer, its the Pokémon that everybody is going to be looking at". Dawn then gets inspiration and begins to design an outfit.

<!--https://www.pokemon.com/us/animation/seasons/11/episode-34-arriving-in-style/-->
<i>Ash and his friends have returned to Hearthome City for Ash's Gym Battle, but Gym Leader Fantina is still out of town. Instead, Pokémon Stylist Paris invites Dawn and Ash to enter the Hearthome Collection fashion show, where people and Pokémon show off their best looks. The winner will be part of a Pokémon Chic Campaign photo shoot! Jessie decides to enter with James as her personal designer. Whoever enters, they'll be up against Lady Cocoa, a famous celebrity and fashion muse!
 
Brock has no trouble whipping up outfits for Ash and Pikachu, but Dawn can't figure out what to make for herself and Buneary. Then she remembers Hermione, a strange woman she met earlier, and realizes that Hermione's comments are the key. Inspired, Dawn gets back to work...
 
The next day, Mayor Enta introduces the Hearthome Collection and its judges, Paris and Hermione. As it turns out, Hermione is Pokémon Chic's editor-in-chief and a formidable judge; she's not entirely pleased by Ash and Pikachu's funny fashion idea. Jessie and Wobbuffet are no better; Jessie decided to add extra color to James' fine designs, and Brock ends up consoling a brokenhearted James. Then it's Cocoa and her Mismagius, showing off a dazzling dress that stuns the crowd, followed by Dawn and Buneary in simple snow-themed outfits. The finalists are Ash, Cocoa, and Dawn!
 
Jessie is outraged at the results so she crashes the finals with the rest of Team Rocket in tow. Paris's Lopunny teams up with Dawn's Buneary to put Jessie's fashion dreams on ice for good, and the Collection can continue. Ash wins an award for being unique, Cocoa wins the Accessory Award, and Dawn is the grand winner because she remembered to show off her Buneary, not her dress.
 
However, she turns down the Pokémon Chic campaign in order to focus on her Coordinator training--the Celestic Town Contest is her next destination!</i>
 
==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} return to [[Hearthome City]] for Ash's [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}, only to learn that the [[Fantina|Hearthome Gym Leader]] is [[DP049|still away]]. A limousine pulls up, and a woman and her {{p|Lopunny}} step out after recognizing Ash as the winner of the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]. {{an|Dawn}} immediately recognizes her as [[Paris]], a famous [[Pokémon Stylist]]. Brock begins to flirt with Paris telling her that he was at the Tag Battle Contest too, but she doesn't appear to know it, much to his disappointment. Upon seeing [[Dawn's Buneary]] and [[Ash's Pikachu]], Paris suggests they enter the [[Hearthome Collection]], a famous fashion show for Pokémon Stylists, for the experience. [[Jessie]] is also excited by the prospect, and [[James]]'s designer eye she hopes to win the competition.
 
While, Ash and Dawn register at the local [[Pokémon Center]], a tall, blonde woman causes quite a stir. Another Hearthome Collection hopeful informs Dawn that the woman is [[Cocoa]], a famous celebrity who adores boutique fashion. Buneary approaches Cocoa, only to be scolded at for coming near her. Dawn feels hurt and confused by the ladies coldness. A fellow designer, [[Hermione]], remarks that PokéStylists and [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s are all the same before walking off.  


The next day, the show begins. Dawn enters the competition with Buneary, Ash enters with Pikachu, [[Jessie]] enters with {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and a top Pokémon Stylist named Cocoa enters with her {{p|Mismagius}}.  Many people enter the Contest.  First is a female trainer with her {{p|Bellossom}}, a male trainer with a {{p|Magikarp}}, a male trainer with a {{p|Toxicroak}} and a female trainer and her {{p|Roselia}}.  Hermoine is disappointed with the lack of talent but Paris tells her not to be so harsh.  Next comes Ash and Pikachu.  Pikachu runs out onto the stage and taps the small container on its back with its tail.  It then fires off several electric attacks.  The judges praises Ash's originality and creativity.  At the same time, [[James]] enters the stands and sits next to Brock, much to his horror at being discovered.  After Ash is Jessie.  Jessie had watched the previous competitors and decides to redo Wobbuffet's look.  James is horrified at the look as Jessie comes out onto the stage with Wobbuffet. Both are covered in make-up and do not have the subtle look James had been aiming for.  Jessie is marked low for the look.  Brock praises James for his designs, much to James's joy.  Cocoa goes with her Mismagius next.  Mismagius flies out onto the stage, its dress unraveling around it, creating a beautiful sight.  While she is praised on her outfit, she is marked low for the presentation.  Last of all is Dawn. Dawn and Buneary are both dressed in beautiful but simple pearl dresses.  Buneary performs tricks with {{m|Ice Beam}} and is given much praise.
That night, Brock finishes making Ash's outfit while Dawn struggles to settle on an idea for the competition. Dawn remembers [[Hermione]]’s earlier criticism followed by the advice [[Zoey]] gave to her [[DP061|after]] the {{to|Solaceon}} {{pkmn|Contest}}; that Pokémon Contests are not about the Trainer, it's the Pokémon that everybody is going to be looking at. Dawn gets inspiration and begins to design an outfit.


The final three are announced and they are Ash, Dawn and Cocoa!  They are told there are going to be three awards, one for overall winner, one for best costume and one for most originality. Just then, [[Team Rocket]] attacks since Jessie has lost, hoping to steal the Pokémon. Hermoine's Lopunny and Dawn's Buneary go to rescue Pikachu and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and succeed. Ash and Pikachu are presented the most originality award much to Buneary's excitement, running over to hug Pikachu before Piplup can. There are just two prizes left and both girls want to win!  Dawn is very worried while Cocoa is confident in her abilities to win.  Dawn is announced the winner for the simple but elegant presentation and the fun that went into it. Dawn and Buneary win a tiara and pose with Piplup.  Cocoa is very upset and begins to cry. Dawn is asked whether she will design clothes and enter more Stylist's competitions by Hermoine. Dawn says no, she is a Pokémon coordinator at heart. Ash, Dawn and Brock then head out for their next adventure.
The next day, Haerthome City Mayor {{an|Enta}} welcomes the crowd and PokéStylists to the Hearthome Collection event. Judging the show will be Paris and Hermione, {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Poké Chic}}'s editor-in-chief and Paris's teacher. As the competition gets underway, Hermione is displeased and blames Paris for popularising Pokémon Fashion for the bedazzled and garish entries so far. Entry 18, Ash and Pikachu enter the stage wearing matching colored wigs and striped loincloths. Pikachu springs onto stage to play a drum with his {{m|Iron Tail}} and amazing the crowd with a shower of {{m|Thunderbolt}}. The judges praise Ash's originality and creativity. Jessie, disguised as Jessilina, and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} are next. However Jessie's bright and makeup heavy additions to James’s carefully crafted look for Wobbuffet don’t go over well with the judges. Brock praises James for his [[accessory]] designs, much to James's joy. Cocoa goes with her {{p|Mismagius}} next. Mismagius floats out onto the stage, its dress unraveling around it while its {{m|Psywave}} adds a technicolor effect, creating a beautiful sight. Number 21 and last of all is Dawn. Dawn and Buneary are both dressed in beautiful but simple white dresses and matching necklaces. Buneary performs tricks with {{m|Ice Beam}} for a delightful performance and is given much praise.
 
The final three are announced as Ash, Dawn and Cocoa. They are told there are going to be three awards, one for the overall winner, one for best costume and one for most originality. Just then, {{TRT}} attacks since Jessie has lost, hoping to steal the Pokémon. Paris's Lopunny uses {{m|Hidden Power}} to cause Team Rocket's mecha to malfunction. Then Lopunny and Buneary launch a combined {{m|Bounce}} attack which destroys the mecha and send Team Rocket blasting off. Enta resumes the awards ceremony, presenting Ash and Pikachu with the most originality prize. Dawn is announced as the winner of the Hearthome Collection for her performance. Cocoa protests and demands that she should have won, but Hermione explains she will only receive the accessory award as it was the feature that stood out most. Paris and Hermione commend Dawn for her simple performance that helped show off Buneary’s personality. After Dawn and Buneary pose with their tiaras, Hermione asks if they can begin their Poké Chic collection immediately. Dawn replies that she is a Coordinator at heart and still has plenty of work ahead of her. At that, Hermione wishes her all the best.

Blurb

Ash and his friends have returned to Hearthome City for Ash's Gym Battle, but Gym Leader Fantina is still out of town. Instead, Pokémon Stylist Paris invites Dawn and Ash to enter the Hearthome Collection fashion show, where people and Pokémon show off their best looks. The winner will be part of a Pokémon Chic Campaign photo shoot! Jessie decides to enter with James as her personal designer. Whoever enters, they'll be up against Lady Cocoa, a famous celebrity and fashion muse!

Brock has no trouble whipping up outfits for Ash and Pikachu, but Dawn can't figure out what to make for herself and Buneary. Then she remembers Hermione, a strange woman she met earlier, and realizes that Hermione's comments are the key. Inspired, Dawn gets back to work...

The next day, Mayor Enta introduces the Hearthome Collection and its judges, Paris and Hermione. As it turns out, Hermione is Pokémon Chic's editor-in-chief and a formidable judge; she's not entirely pleased by Ash and Pikachu's funny fashion idea. Jessie and Wobbuffet are no better; Jessie decided to add extra color to James' fine designs, and Brock ends up consoling a brokenhearted James. Then it's Cocoa and her Mismagius, showing off a dazzling dress that stuns the crowd, followed by Dawn and Buneary in simple snow-themed outfits. The finalists are Ash, Cocoa, and Dawn!

Jessie is outraged at the results so she crashes the finals with the rest of Team Rocket in tow. Paris's Lopunny teams up with Dawn's Buneary to put Jessie's fashion dreams on ice for good, and the Collection can continue. Ash wins an award for being unique, Cocoa wins the Accessory Award, and Dawn is the grand winner because she remembered to show off her Buneary, not her dress.

However, she turns down the Pokémon Chic campaign in order to focus on her Coordinator training--the Celestic Town Contest is her next destination!

Plot

Ash and his friends return to Hearthome City for Ash's Gym battle, only to learn that the Hearthome Gym Leader is still away. A limousine pulls up, and a woman and her Lopunny step out after recognizing Ash as the winner of the Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition. Dawn immediately recognizes her as Paris, a famous Pokémon Stylist. Brock begins to flirt with Paris telling her that he was at the Tag Battle Contest too, but she doesn't appear to know it, much to his disappointment. Upon seeing Dawn's Buneary and Ash's Pikachu, Paris suggests they enter the Hearthome Collection, a famous fashion show for Pokémon Stylists, for the experience. Jessie is also excited by the prospect, and James's designer eye she hopes to win the competition.

While, Ash and Dawn register at the local Pokémon Center, a tall, blonde woman causes quite a stir. Another Hearthome Collection hopeful informs Dawn that the woman is Cocoa, a famous celebrity who adores boutique fashion. Buneary approaches Cocoa, only to be scolded at for coming near her. Dawn feels hurt and confused by the ladies coldness. A fellow designer, Hermione, remarks that PokéStylists and Pokémon Coordinators are all the same before walking off.

That night, Brock finishes making Ash's outfit while Dawn struggles to settle on an idea for the competition. Dawn remembers Hermione’s earlier criticism followed by the advice Zoey gave to her after the Solaceon Contest; that Pokémon Contests are not about the Trainer, it's the Pokémon that everybody is going to be looking at. Dawn gets inspiration and begins to design an outfit.

The next day, Haerthome City Mayor Enta welcomes the crowd and PokéStylists to the Hearthome Collection event. Judging the show will be Paris and Hermione, Poké Chic's editor-in-chief and Paris's teacher. As the competition gets underway, Hermione is displeased and blames Paris for popularising Pokémon Fashion for the bedazzled and garish entries so far. Entry 18, Ash and Pikachu enter the stage wearing matching colored wigs and striped loincloths. Pikachu springs onto stage to play a drum with his Iron Tail and amazing the crowd with a shower of Thunderbolt. The judges praise Ash's originality and creativity. Jessie, disguised as Jessilina, and Wobbuffet are next. However Jessie's bright and makeup heavy additions to James’s carefully crafted look for Wobbuffet don’t go over well with the judges. Brock praises James for his accessory designs, much to James's joy. Cocoa goes with her Mismagius next. Mismagius floats out onto the stage, its dress unraveling around it while its Psywave adds a technicolor effect, creating a beautiful sight. Number 21 and last of all is Dawn. Dawn and Buneary are both dressed in beautiful but simple white dresses and matching necklaces. Buneary performs tricks with Ice Beam for a delightful performance and is given much praise.

The final three are announced as Ash, Dawn and Cocoa. They are told there are going to be three awards, one for the overall winner, one for best costume and one for most originality. Just then, Team Rocket attacks since Jessie has lost, hoping to steal the Pokémon. Paris's Lopunny uses Hidden Power to cause Team Rocket's mecha to malfunction. Then Lopunny and Buneary launch a combined Bounce attack which destroys the mecha and send Team Rocket blasting off. Enta resumes the awards ceremony, presenting Ash and Pikachu with the most originality prize. Dawn is announced as the winner of the Hearthome Collection for her performance. Cocoa protests and demands that she should have won, but Hermione explains she will only receive the accessory award as it was the feature that stood out most. Paris and Hermione commend Dawn for her simple performance that helped show off Buneary’s personality. After Dawn and Buneary pose with their tiaras, Hermione asks if they can begin their Poké Chic collection immediately. Dawn replies that she is a Coordinator at heart and still has plenty of work ahead of her. At that, Hermione wishes her all the best.
