This week Dawn gets to bond with her Gardevoir Satomi, while Tarina is intrigued by Contests.

This episode was very heavily rewritten from the original episode now that Team Rocket and Piloswine/Mamoswine were cut. I felt it didn't make sense for Satomi to be rebellious, just like it never made sense (at least to me) for Blaze, Ash's Charizard, to be rebellious. Since the existing plot now no longer made sense, I decide to reframe it as worldbuilding and set up for an episode down the line, when Brock and Dawn try out each other's competition.

I finally decided to show what Brock was doing in the offscreen portions of Fantasy Stage (which we will actually see when Dawn attempts a Fantasy Stage down the line.) Likewise, Satomi's description of a Contest follows my game based remix rules.

Next time, Ash reunites with Roark, and see his bond with Byron as father and son (why they both share the same Heart Song).
