The top eight were shown on the Jumbotron Dawn was in the first slot, followed by Shiranui. Liam was in the fifth slot. The eight were shuffled up. Obsidian, who popped out of his ball on his own after Liam entered the green room had been watching the monitor to see everything. Liam and tied a band around Spoink's arm so people would know it wasn't wild. He was watching the appeals amazed by what was happening.

Dawn and Piplup bested a girl with Tropius
Liam and Pidgeot bested a trainer with Shiftree.

Than there was the battle between Dawn and Liam.
"Piplup! Spotlight!" She tossed Peplum's ball into the air and the tiny penguin emerged and landed puffing out his chest.
"Pidgeot! Let's go!" Liam called.
"Whirlpool!" Dawn commanded. Peplum held his hands up in the air and conjured a whirlpool of water. He than tossed it at Pidgeot.
"Air cutter." Liam called. A sickle of wind shot forth and sliced the water in half, taking out a bit of Dawn's Points with it.
"Spinning Drill Peck!" Piplup jumped into the air and began to spin as he rocketed toward Pidgeot.
"Mirror Move!" Liam called. Pidgeot began to do the same maneuver, but mirrored. They collided and Piplup, being smaller was knocked down and Dawn lost more points.
Dawn had an idea as she ordered peplum to use Ice Beam. Peplum pivoted in place and froze most of the arena, including Pidgeot. Liam lost a few points.
"Now, Pidgeot! Mega Evolve and use Twister!" Liam called. The power of Mega Evolution shattered the ice around the bird. Twister shot shards of ice back at Piplup, who managed to comically evaded all of the shards.
"Hydro Pump!" Dawn ordered. Peplum sprayed the high pressure water.
"Air Slash!" Liam called. Both Pokémon were hit and both sides lost a few points.
"Bide!" Dawn called.
"Quick Attack!" Liam called. Pidgeot got the hit in before Bide started, dropping Dawn's points a bit further. The timer clicked down to :50.
"Do a loop de loop and Roost!" Liam called. Pidgeot did the maneuver and perched on a beam of ice that the Ice beam made before. Midget's health went up, while Dawn's went down a small amount. Peplum stood there gathering energy and Liam ordered a Tailwind. The high winds pushed Piplup back a few inches, and nothing more. Liam lost a few points of his own with this, but it was worth it. Bide launched but fizzled, cutting a huge chunk out of Dawn's points as the timer read :10.
"Corkscrew Brave Bird!" Liam called. Pidgeot did the move, sped up by the Tailwind. Dawn lost as as the timer hit :00, Liam's mauve depleted her points and KO'd Piplup. Liam was named the winner. Once backstage, Liam went over to give Piplup a berry, and Piplup, being the proud Pokémon that he is, refused to take it until Dawn told him to. Obsidian bounced over to Liam was was very excited by what he had seen.
