The Contest is particularly special because it is being held in conjunction with a festival that is taking place in the town.

In order to participate in the Contest, Dawn has to select the appropriate Pokemon to compete with. After much consideration, she chooses her Piplup.

After the Contest, Ash and his friends receive a surprise invitation to attend the after-party. At the party, they meet a famous Coordinator named Johanna and her daughter, who happens to be Dawn's childhood friend.
