Serena is walking towards the stage, remembering what she experienced to get there.
She gets flashbacks of Delia, Misty, Miette, Iris, Sawyer, Drew and Cilan.
Serena smiles.
Then, flashbacks of Dawn and May start to show up on Serena's mind.
"They are cheering for me... They helped me to get here... I will win it for them..." said Serena, keeping her smile.
A flashback of Ash's smile appeared on Serena's mind.
"I'll show you that I kept the promise I made to you..." said Serena, smiling and blushing lightly.
Serena enters the stage running.
Serena's pokémon enter the stage just after Serena.
"Ta-da!" said Serena with glittering eyes and smiling.
Serena spots her friends on the stands.
Serena smiles happily.
Serena looks to her pokémon and nod.
"Let's start this!" shouted Serena, starting to dance on stage.
Her pokémon smile happily.
"Syl!" said Sylveon while starting to dance with Serena.
Pancham and Braixen look to each other.
Both nod.
Pancham and Braixen started flipping on stage.
"Milotic, Dragon Rush!" said Serena, still dancing.
Milotic nods.
Milotic jumps and starts using Dragon Rush to fly in circles and create a beautiful purple glow falling on top of Serena and Sylveon.
The crowd is in awe.
"Braixen, Flamethrower! Pancham, Dark Pulse!" said Serena, still dancing with Sylveon.
"Braixen Brai!" said Braixen while using Flamethrower towards Pancham's Dark Pulse.
"Pancham Pan!" said Pancham while using Dark Pulse towards Braixen's Flamethrower.
They create a powerful, but very beautiful beam on stage.
Braixen and Pancham keep the beam going.
"Sylveon, Double Team!" said Serena.
"Syl!" said Sylveon while using Double Team to create a lot of Sylveon dancing graciously on stage.
"Now!" said Serena.
Sylveon, Braixen and Pancham nod.
Sylveon jumps high.
Braixen and Pancham aim the beam to the air, in the middle of Milotic's circle.
"Sylveon, Fairy Wind!" said Serena.
"Syl!" said Sylveon while using Fairy Wind in the air.
Sylveon's Fairy Wind create a beautiful pink glow falling with Milotic's purple glow.
Braixen and Pancham's moves create beautiful orange and dark purple glow falling with Sylveon's pink glow and Milotic's purple glow.
Milotic catches Sylveon mid-air.
The crowd is amazed by the sight.
The crowd started applauding.
Serena is with glittering eyes.
"We're not done yet!" said Serena.
"We want to give you all a taste of how it feels to be on stage!" said Serena, smiling.
The crowd look puzzled.
"Let's show them!" said Serena, smiling.
Serena's pokémon nod.
"Milotic, Hydro Pump! Braixen, Flamethrower!" said Serena.
"Braixen!" said Braixen while using Flamethrower.
Milotic nods and uses Hydro Pump.
Both moves collide.
They create a smokescreen on stage, covering the whole stage.
The crowd look puzzled.
They start applauding.
When suddenly they hear something.
"Milotic, Dragon Rush!" said Serena.
Milotic starts to fly over the audience with Serena and Pancham on its back.
The crowd is speechless.
A purple glow starts falling on top of the audience.
"Pancham, Dark Pulse!" said Serena.
"Pancham Pan!" said Pancham while using Dark Pulse to create a dark sky on top of the audience.
"Now it's with you guys on stage!" said Serena.
The crowd turned to the stage.
"Brai!" said Braixen, throwing Sylveon into the air.
"Brai, Braixen Xen Brai!" shouted Braixen.
"Syl!" said Sylveon while using Swift to create falling stars on top of the audience.
The crowd is speechless while looking to the sky, seeing the falling stars.
Everyone start applauding.
A spotlight is pointed to the stands.
The crowd looks to the spot on the spotlight.
It was Serena, sat on the stands, applauding.
Everyone looked amazed.
"Let's finish this!" said Serena, getting up.
"Milotic, Attract! Pancham, Dark Pulse!" said Serena.
"Pancham Pan!" said Pancham while using Dark Pulse on top of the stands, creating a gorgeous dark purple glow falling on the crowd.
Milotic uses Attract to create cute hearts falling on top of the audience.
Everyone is trying to catch a heart on their hand.
May and Drew catch one each.
This causes both May and Drew to blush.
"Dragon Rush!" said Serena.
Milotic smiles and uses Dragon Rush to fly over to Serena and grab her, bringing her back to the stage.
Serena is grouped with her pokémon again.
Serena and her pokémon bow to the audience.
The crowd started applauding happily, some with tears on their faces.
Serena looks to everyone's smiles and tears of joy, causing her to smile happily.
"I did it..." thought Serena.
"Ash... Thank you..." thought Serena, putting her hand over her heart.
Serena and her pokémon leave the stage.
Serena meets Miette on her way back to the lounge.
Miette smiles to Serena.
"You really got better for Ash..." said Miette.
Serena blushes.
"I guess so..." said Serena, looking to the floor.
"That means I'll have a hard time to be better than you..." said Miette.
Serena smiles.
"Good luck!" said Serena, smiling.
Miette smiles.
Serena headed to the lounge.
Miette headed to the stage.
Serena sits on a sofa on the lounge.
"Thanks everyone! You guys did better than I expected! You really gave your all today!" said Serena, smiling.
Sylveon, Braixen and Pancham's eyes started glittering.
Milotic smiles.
"Give me a hug everyone!" said Serena, extending her arms.
"Pancham!" said Pancham while hugging Serena.
"Sylveon!" said Sylveon while joining the hug.
"Braixen!" said Braixen while joining the hug.
Milotic also joins the hug.
"Thanks guys... You really are the best partners I could ever ask for!" said Serena, not letting go of the hug and smiling happily.
"You are also the best trainer we could have asked for..." said Milotic, still hugging Serena.
The door of the lounge opens, causing Serena and her Pokémon to let go of the hug.
A person enters the room.
The person starts applauding.
Serena turned to see the person.
Serena is shocked.
"Palermo!?" shouted Serena, shocked.
"Hi Serena... Congratulations for your performance today... You really have grown up a lot... Just like your mother told me..." said Palermo.
"My mother?" asked Serena, puzzled.
Another person enters the room.
"She's right..." said the person.
"Mom!?" shouted Serena, surprised.
Serena blushes lightly.
"Hi Serena!" said Grace, smiling.
"Hi mom..." said Serena, blushing lightly.
"I contacted Grace just after Kalos' Master Class... Offering my services for you..." said Palermo.
"You did?" asked Serena, looking to the floor.
Grace nodded.
"She also told me that you rejected her offer to be your tutor..." said Grace.
"Oh..." said Serena, looking to the floor.
"But I told her that I would keep a close eye on your journey on the Hoenn region..." said Palermo.
"You watched me in the Hoenn region!?" asked Serena, embarassed.
"Yes... But I stopped after you kept losing too many tournaments in a row... You wasn't looking as confident or as motivated as you were in Kalos... So I decided to not keep an eye on you..." said Palermo.
"I'm sorry..." said Serena, looking to the ground.
"But when I heard that you were bringing joy and happiness on the Johto region I thought it would be fair to give you a second chance... So I contacted Grace to see your progress..." said Palermo.
"She's right... I've been keeping a close eye on you on the Johto region for quite a while now..." said Grace.
"Really?" asked Serena.
Grace nodded.
"So I was never really alone, was I?" asked Serena.
"No! I was there with you!" said Grace, smiling.
"But what if I wanted to be alone for sometime!?" asked Serena, frustrated.
"I... I..." Grace stuttered.
"You didn't give me privacy on my weakest nights! Even worse... you saw every bit of it and didn't help me with it!" said Serena.
"I'm sorry, Serena... I didn't know you felt like that..." said Grace, looking to the floor.
Serena storms out of the room, followed by her pokémon.
"Serena..." said Grace, worried.
Grace started to follow Serena.
Palermo pulled Grace.
"I think it's better for you to leave her alone for a bit..." said Palermo.
Grace looks worried but agrees with Palermo.
Grace did not follow Serena.
