A Special Guest

One day, Scottie decided to go see one of Lisia's live performances.

When [EN:Gen Ref="255" M="he" F="she" ] arrived, [EN:Gen Ref="255" M="he" F="she" ] saw that Elesa had been invited to perform as a special guest.

I've got the perfect name for our show today... Ready to hear it?!

"Zap into Action! Electric Beauty!" Pretty great, right?

Thanks for inviting me to be part of the show today, Lisia.

This is a totally different rush than what I get when I'm walking the catwalk as a model.

I should be thanking YOU for agreeing to join me on stage, Elesa!

Having you here is gonna bring a dazzling new spin to my show!

A dazzling new spin... Hey, I just got an idea!

Why don't we battle with the fans?

The air's practically crackling with energy right now, it's the perfect fuel to really light this event on fire!

I don't know how much of a chance I have against a full-on Gym Leader like you, Elesa...

But that sounds WAY too fun to pass up!

Plus, battling with the fans is the perfect way to show them how much we appreciate all of their love and support!

A way to give back to the fans...

You're so right! Our fans are so dedicated and we are so eternally grateful to them...

When we come together, nothing in the universe can shine brighter than us!

Yeah! Let's do it!

Between us and our beloved Pokémon...

we're gonna make this one dazzling, dizzying, doldrums-defying show!

Scottie! Thanks for coming to see the show.

Seeing you rooting for me gave me so much energy today.

Hehe... Feels a little awkward saying that out loud.

Since coming to Pasio, we've battled together as teammates and against each other as opponents.

One minute I'm totally counting on you and your skills, and the next, all I want to do is beat you!

I feel really grateful to have the support of friends like you, y'know?

That's why I've gotta keep shining with everything I've got. I wouldn't want to let you down!

As a matter of fact, after watching Lisia work up the crowd today, I could probably take a page out of her book.

It's a little hard to describe...but the way she interacts with the fans is so open and friendly.

I know, right? I think it's because of how open and friendly she is with them.

Fan support is everything to entertainers like Lisia and me.

I've always thought the best way to reciprocate that was to make myself sparkle for them up on the stage...

But connecting with the fans directly like Lisia does is just as fantastic.

I'll have to give my fans even more dazzling, dizzying performances if I don't want to get shown up by her!

And you'll keep shining right there with me, won't you, sweetie!

Oh! Hi, Scottie! Thank you sooo much for coming to see the show today!

I could hear how hard you were cheering for me! It made me so happy!

With you rooting for me, I feel like I can do absolutely anything!

I wish I could go around and say that to every single one of my fans individually...

But since I don't know how to clone myself yet, you'll just have to accept aaall my thank-yous on their behalf, 'kay?

You've already helped me out so much since I came to Pasio, Scottie.

You're a treasure, seriously!

I hope you stick around for a long time so we can keep sparkling together!

*giggle* Oh, gosh! I'm talking your ear off, aren't I!

It's just been nonstop excitement all day since those battles with Elesa, y'know? My heart's beating a thousand miles an hour!

I know, right?! I was just as dazzled by Elesa as the crowd was! Isn't she amazing?

Oh, totally! I was just as stunned by Elesa as the crowd was! Isn't she amazing?

Performing on stage with her today made me realize something.

I want that cool factor that she has. I want my fans to feel strong and confident when they see me!

Since coming to Pasio, I've gotten a lot better at Pokémon battling...

But I want to keep working harder so that one day, I can shine on the battlefield as brightly as Elesa!

And you'll be right there to fight with me! Right, Scottie?
