My hopes for a hypothetical yet desired unofficial contest:

Doubles all the way. No restrictions on certain Pokémon being in the battle rounds. This will give all of Hikari's Pokémon time to shine,

Appeals: Manmoo and Togekiss. They haven't done an appeal under Hikari and they look as if they could be an interesting pair.

1st battle: Pachirisu and Hinoarashi against COTD. I've always wanted to see this pairing similar to Manmoo and Togekiss.

2nd battle: Pochama and Mimirol against Nozomi. Hikari would win. Pairing for the symbolism that Hestia mentioned. I'd want to see Erlade again as I liked how they animated its general movements in the GF final.

3rd battle/final: Togekiss and anyone against Urara. Urara would win and have a Gen V Pokémon on her (Chandelier Turtle) as well as using Gabite or Showers.

We'd also have Musashi lingering around pretending as if she doesn't have any interest.

Well, I like your idea Iteru, but wouldn't it be a bit long for one episode?
I do want to see a Togekiss/Mamoswine appeal though.
Oh, and I love the idea of Jessie watching in the background.

Yeah it would probably end up being rushed...
Though maybe one and a half episodes? I dunno. I wouldn't want to skip Nozomi's or Urara's appeals but it would probably be necessary for my idea to work.

I'm voting less for unofficial contest and more for a double battle tournament were Ash and Dawn enter together and at the end, they fight a double battle against Johanna/Fantina paired up with Palmer/Flint. (Sort of like the last Twinleaf festival episode but with a double battle instead where each trainer would use two pokémon.

If they do a two episode mini-arc, it could have interesting combos like Zoey/Nando, Johanna/Palmer, Flint/Volkner for Ash/Dawn to fight against.

Add some Barry and how fun would those eps be!

I kind of like the idea of having double reformance contests with two people using one each. I'm actually suprised they haven't don that yet.

BarryxUrsula??? They'd probaly argue every single secondXD
Now, I don't see why Dawn can't have another contest arc.
I mean May got two Grand Festivals, even one after the league.
Dawn kind of gets horrible treatment here =/
Sure she got more screen time and extra treament that the other girls didn't. But she didn't get to beat her rival even, just kind of disapointing yah know?

If Brock is truly gone, I wonder when he'll leave. They mention this dream of his, so I wonder if they're gonna dedicate part of an episode to it.

It's kinda crap, I agree here but you know what is might happen now because of that? Damn unofficial contest with Dawn beating Zoey, to "solve" things, if this happens that will be even more disappointing.

You're right. But Dawn has had much more character development than May did. May had no backstory, no childhood friends mentioned, or an ongoing personal issue like Dawn has (Pikari/DeeDee).

I'd love for May and her rivals to enter an ultimate contest with Dawn and her rivals.

We can get a Dawn vs May rematch, Drew vs Zoey, Solidad vs Ursula, Harley vs Ursula or Dawn. There are so many possibilites.

Double battles of course.

If Ash is involved, Misty should be there, and so should Harrison, and Barry, as well as Gary, and maybe Paul if he is nicer.

Paul is getting old and tired, IMO. I'm ready for him to pack up his epicness after the League and disappear.

Also, I think Ash should still win the League, and postpone the E4 challenge.

Hilariousness ensues :D

I disagree with that. Actually I see Zoey more as Dawn's mentor than Dawn's rival. May never beat her mentor, Ash, (she tied to Ash though) and left the show to get better. I could see Dawn leaving the show/staying whichever without beating Zoey.

I always thought of Zoey as a rival of Dawn and mentor to her as well.
If we don't see Zoey as a rival, who does she have left, Kenny :O

Do people think Ursula will get a last appearance? I want her to but sadly I see no place for her to appear. :(

Well you know me well enough to know what I'd like but I fear that she will appear for a minute and then be done with.

I never really liked Ursala. She's all right, and she puts on a good show in contests, but I just don't like her personality. I know that some people you just love to hate them, but she's just not one of them. I guess I'm just apathetic towards her.

The animators dont have time to waste on Ursula, or Zoey. The only reason Kenny is being brought up again is because his connection to both Ash and Dawn, to further develop their story.

12 precious episodes, they shouldn't spent it on retreads.
