Given Hikari's previous loss at the Yosuga Contest, I now wish that this fashion show had simply been a Pokemon Contest to serve as Hikari's redemption and signify her coming full circle since the last time she was in this city.
I didn't think it made sense for Dawn to get her swagger back just because she did well in this fashion show?? I mean how did that help her achieve a new level of self confidence when it came to contests?
