879: Tērunā to Yanchamu!! Misero Honoo no Pafōmansu!!
872: Performing with Fiery Charm!
The sun rises on yet another day as Serena watches on, and she claims that this time they're going to win for sure. And the way they'll win is by...
The morning of the Dendemille Town Pokémon Showcase has arrived, before I even knew it.
Anyway, Serena is talking it over with her mother, Grace and shows off a dress she got from Valerie that she plans to wear in the competition.
Later on, the Twerps are at the arena and having a look at the large amount of people waiting in line until a familiar voice beckons for Serena.
It's...
It's...
Who the hell is it?
Oh, according to Serena it's "Miette", and if like me, you can't remember who she is, that's because she hasn't appeared in over 50 episodes.
Well, anyway, she's here now, along with her Pokémon, a Meowstic and... COTTON CANDY PUPPY!
She's here to enter the Pokémon showcase, and immediately bugs Serena about cutting her hair, then declares that she wants to settle things once and for all and tells Serena secretly that she totally wants to fuck Ash, causing Serena to blush as Ash and Clemont both fail to pick up the huge hints that Miette and Serena are just dropping all over the floor.
Inside the arena, the inexplicably French Frenchman Pierre opens the show by reminding everyone that if one of these performers wants to have a chance to be queen they must win three keys, as we see it's apparently being broadcast live, and we see that Shauna for whatever reason isn't herself participating. And also that Trevor has returned from that ditch his friends left him in.
The first event, the Theme Performance, is... a cooking competition. More specifically a Poképuff competition, which is apparently right up Miette's alley, I guess.
Pierre introduces the judges, Antonio Banderas, Cooking Mama, and Betty White. Did the last one have judges? I feel like I should know that.
The, ahem, competition starts, and it's no Iron Chef. In her mind, Miette brags about her Poképuffs being yummy, before making Slurpuff grab a glass of milk. Despite the ACTION MUSIC... it's not that remarkable, and Clemont tries to cover how unremarkable that was by saying that Slurpuff can apparently smell which milk is the freshest, despite them all coming from the exact same place at the exact same time.
She then has her Meowstic use Psychic to stir the mix, which again, is not very amazing.
And... TIME UP!
We only see the judges try Miette's puffs, before they make the decision to announce her as the winner, as her opponents go back into the shame pit.
Next up it's Jesse's turn, and apparently they have a strategy. Meowth somehow found out what kind of food the judge's Pokémon like, and make their food accordingly. More held cells prepare food as Jesse and Meowth prepare to decorate their food.
Being dumb idiots, the Pokémon love Jesse's food, as the "judges" uselessly comment on watching their Pokémon eat, which kind of reveals the critical flaw in making a contest where food is judged by creatures who can't speak and being judged by people who aren't actually eating it themselves.
Anyway, Jesselia wins easily and the exciting competition anemically sputters on.
Next up, it's Serena's turn toWHO'S THAT POKEMON?
IT'S PLUSLE AND MINUN, BOTH AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE THEY'RE USELESS CLONES OF PIKACHU AND INDIVIDUALLY BARELY EQUAL A SINGLE POKEMON.
*ahem* Sorry, I don't know what came over me.
Oh, it's Serena's turn to "perform" and she says she'll make the greatest PokéPuffs ever for everyone who ever supported her, even though only three Pokémon in the world will get to eat them.
After Serena finishes the judges mull over her PokéPuffs with Betty White claiming that it's clear hers were made with love, as opposed to the piss and shit the other girls made theirs with.
It's time for Pierre to announce the winner and... drumroll please

HOLY SHIT! IT'S SERENA! Who would've thunk that the only person we saw the judges judge would be the winner?
Welp, next up it's time for the Freestyle performance. 5 performers from the previous round made it through, and first up is Jesselia.
They start with Meowth on the far side of the stage jumping into Jesselia's arms, and she throws him into Wobbuffet who bounces him into the air, and continues to bounce him, the girls in the audience don't get it, but they love it all the same.
They wrap it up by having Jesselia throw a bunch of berries in the air at Meowth who uses Fury Swipes to slice and dice them into a large heart shape statue behind them. There's way more Berry pieces then there were Berries, but it's at least something exciting happening.
The next performer just happens to be Miette, but before we see her performance, Serena happens to be walking around backstage and gets bodied by Jesselia, Braixen and Pancham get tough on Jesse, but Serena just apologizes for being a shit and running into Jesselia.
However she happens to look down and notices that her skirt ripped.
OH NO, she's fucked! It's all over now.
Meanwhile, Miette has Meowstic float Slurpuff in the air, and has it shit Cotton Spore all on the audience, who couldn't be happier with their golden shower.
Serena is getting depressed backstage, which is starting to become her default setting. It's just like last time, as we see the flashback on Fennekin tripping on it's ribbon.
She then decides to think like Ash - a dangerous proposition - and remembers that like John Cena, he never gives up.
And Miette's performance is done.
Held cells of the last two never-willl-be's flash on screen as we see Serena furiously work on her skirt.
And now it's her turn, she makes it to the platform in time with her now shorter skirt. She starts by throwing Pancham in the air, who can apparently make glitter now, while dancing with Braixen, who by the way - looks AH-MA-ZING!
Braizen runs around shooting fire out of the ground until Serena has Pancham use Stone Edge that Braixen breaks while jumping on, before her and Pancham shoot attacks at each other, that explode into a glittery explosion of fiery embers killing everyone.
At least I wish. Instead Serena just gets a round of applause.
Well, it's time for the final judging, which as last time will be done by the audience. I hope they feel good about wasting all that money on Antonio Banderas' appearance fee, though he's been in 4 Spy Kids movies, so he'll show up anywhere.
The votes fly in and Serena seems to be getting the least amount of votes, as she remembers the last time she lost, and she cut her hair. She can't really afford another haircut at this point, but then a sudden rush of votes rushes in and Serena (and her short skirt) wins in a landslide.
Serena lets the twerps in on why her skirt was suddenly shorter and says she'll apologize to Valerie, though I'm sure Valerie couldn't care less at this point.
Ash tells her she looked great which sets off Serena's "SENPAI NOTICED ME" alarm, and Miette sneaks up from behind to tell her to remember their other competition before running off.
Well, as I'm pretty sure we won't be seeing Miette for another 50 episodes, looks like this competition is...
