Nando: Difference between revisions

Nando reappeared in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'', where he met up with Ash, {{an|Brock}}, and Dawn at the front door of [[Hearthome Gym]]. He informed them that Hearthome City's [[Gym Leader]] was absent and would be away for some time, then suggested that Ash enter the famous [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]. Nando, however, declined to enter the competition himself. Later, he walked with Dawn towards the [[Contest Hall]], where he met [[Zoey]] for the first time. When Nando introduced himself as both a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}, Zoey said he needed to make up his mind, to which he replied that {{cat|Nando's Pokémon|his Pokémon}} guide him. He later entered the {{ci|Hearthome}} Contest, which was held under the [[Double Performance]] format. During the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]], Nando used his {{TP|Nando|Kricketune}} and {{p|Sunflora}} to deliver a music-themed performance, which impressed the [[Contest Judge]]s enough for them to secure him a place among the Coordinators proceeding to the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]]. There, he managed to defeat [[Jessilina]] to advance to the final round, where he faced off against Zoey and won. This victory gave Nando his second Contest Ribbon.
