Plot

In the Pasio arena, Dana is accepting challenges from a variety of passionate sync pairs. She soundly defeats Tina, but she is defeated by Palmer. She tells Palmer that she wouldn't have lost in her specialty, Triple Battles, and Palmer says that they should have a Triple Battle the next time they meet. Wally and Sidney are impressed by her strength, but Geeta notices that she is putting on some sort of act. She thinks it's a shame that Dana is wasting her talent by hiding it under a facade, so she challenges Dana to a battle. She warns Dana that Dana won't be able to beat her unless Dana shows her true face, but Dana assures her that there's no need for it. The pair then begin to battle.

After Geeta defeats Dana, she confronts Dana about the act. She asks Dana why she's hiding her fighting spirit and passion for battles, pretending to be someone she's not. Dana starts laughing and drops the act. She explains that she has to play the part of a beautiful and elegant Battle Chatelaine for the sake of the Battle Maison's guests. She's always raring to go all out in battle, but she has to shut those feelings away to help the Maison be successful, and she's frustrated that Geeta came along and got her fired up for a good battle. After thinking about it for a moment, though, she decides that her big sister is going to hear about this regardless, so they may as well have some fun while they're at it. She sends out Regice, Regirock, and Registeel and tells Geeta that she's going to show her what she's really capable of. Geeta apologizes for saying so much, recognizing that Dana is just a little stressed because of her job. She decides to make amends by going all out herself, and the crowd cheers as Geeta and Dana begin to have another battle, holding nothing back.

Script

  • Geeta's Concerns
Name Text
(Pasio arena; Dana and Magcargo battle and defeat Tina and Flareon)
One day, Dana elegantly accepted challenge after challenge from several sync pairs.
Dana My, my, my... What a pity. Is that the end of things for you?
Tina Nggh... This is so frustrating!
Dana Heh heh! If it's difficult for you to accept, come back and dare to challenge me again.
Tina Yeah! I'll be back!
(Cut to Wally, Geeta, Sidney, and Barry watching the battle)
Wally This Battle Chatelaine really lives up to her reputation!
Sidney Yeah. That doesn't look easy.
Geeta ... ... ...
Barry My dad's up next!
(Palmer arrives on the battlefield and sends out Regigigas; Regigigas is able to knock out Magcargo)
Dana Ugh... You're not bad, that's for certain...
Palmer Hahaha! As the Tower Tycoon, I can't go down so easily!
Dana Yes, well... My real stage is the Triple Battle!
If we were using the battle format I specialize in, I'd never lose to someone like you!
Palmer Oho!
In that case, why don't we battle in your preferred format the next time we meet?
(Dana smiles)
Geeta ... ... ...
(She's holding back... No, wait... Is she putting on an act?)
(Just like Champion Nemona did...but why?)
(She has such talent. It would be a shame to let her waste it like this...)
Dana Now then! Who shall be my next challenger?!
(Geeta arrives on the battlefield)
Geeta I am Geeta, Top Champion of the Paldea region.
But before we battle, I must apologize in advance.
You see, I am completely incapable of holding back in a Pokémon battle.
Therefore...it may be difficult for you to win, unless you show your true self.
(Dana is silent for a moment)
Dana My, my, my... How kind of you to warn me!
However, there is no need for such thoughtful gestures!
(Geeta is silent for a moment)
Geeta I see. Well, then...
I want to see the true measure of your talent!
(Geeta sends out her Glimmora)


  • Dana's True Face
Name Text
(Geeta's Glimmora knocks out Dana's Magcargo)
Dana ... ... ...
(Geeta returns her Glimmora)
Geeta You are putting on an act.
I felt it during our battle just now, which confirmed my suspicions.
You have amazing skill, and more importantly, you hide within you a fighting spirit and passion for Pokémon battles...
Please tell me—
Why are you pretending to be someone you're not?
(A clamor rises from the crowd; Dana is silent for a moment)
Dana ... Hee hee!
Hee hee...hee hee hee...hee hee!
Cheeky l'il... Now ye've gone 'n' done it...
Geeta Hm?
Dana That battle just now! You've lit a fire in me heart, you have...
Now, why put on a show, ye ask?
Well, I'm ACTIN' the Battle Chatelaine fer our guests, o' course!
Strength alone won't draw guests to the Battle Maison, now, will it? We need beauty and elegance and the like!
Geeta Umm... Excuse me?
Dana Ye think I don't long to go all out in battle meself? Sure, I'm always rarin' to!
But I shut all that away fer the good o' the Maison!
Then you come along, and ye go an'—! Ye go an'—!
(Dana calms down a little)
Dana Hee hee...hee hee hee!
That big sister o' mine'll hear 'bout this soon enough anyway...
Now that we've come this far, there's nothin' fer it but to have us some great fun!
(Dana gets fired up)
Dana Just like ye wanted!
I'll show ye what I'm really capable of!
(Dana sends out Regirock, Regice, and Registeel)
Palmer Ohh! Are we going to see one of those Triple Battles we've heard so much about?
This oughta be good, right, Barry?
Geeta ...I'm sorry. It seems I've said more than I should have.
You appear to be under some stress, but if it's for your job, I suppose you don't have a choice.
In any case, allow me to make amends...
(Geeta gets fired up)
Geeta I will show you what it means to face the Top Champion! Let's see if you can make it past me!
(Fade to white as Geeta sends out more Pokémon; the crowd cheers)

Trivia

  • Dana's individual +0.2× reward bonus in this event is completely redundant, as she would automatically have a +0.2× reward bonus due to having the Passionate Spirit theme skill.
  • This event marked Dana's first appearance in a story area outside of her sync pair story since her addition to the game.
