Synopsis
Template:Incomplete synopsis
With all his Pokémon badly injured and in pain after the intense battle against Paul, Ash feels horribly guilty for putting them through so much and at the same time, losing to Paul; and he sinks into a depression. As he realizes just how overwhelmed he was by Paul during the battle, Ash begins to question if he really is cut out to be a Pokémon Trainer, even after all his accomplishments in the past. Dawn, having suffered a crisis of confidence herself once, resolves to help her friend and decides to put on a performance with her Pokémon while Brock goes looking for a berry to help treat Ash's Monferno without realizing that he was about to see first-hand the the legend of Lake Acuity...

Monferno's ears (at the back)
