Kitty: Well, everyone. It's time for the Toucan to be unmasked and be sent flying back to her universe. But before we get to all that, let's take a quick gander at what the panel's first impression guesses were for her, shall we?

*The TUF Troopers head down into the underground vault, and retrieve the first impression guesses for the Toucan. They return to the stage with them, and Kitty begins to read each one.*

Kitty: Well, this is very interesting. Everyone except for Isabelle said that the Toucan is Lola Loud from the Loud House.

Cadence: Well, I wasn't sure, so I took a stab in the dark, so to speak.

Terry: I just copied Cadence's guess.

Stew: Same with me and Chick.

Fred: And what did Isabelle guess?

Kitty: (reading Isabelle's first impression guess) Jane Darling from "Peter Pan: Return to Never Land."

Isabelle: Well, she mentioned hanging out with a guy who refused to grow up, so I figured it would be her.

Kitty: Alright, then. Well, that about does it for the first impression guesses for the Toucan. Time to see if any of them are right, as we...

Everyone: TAKE IT OFF! TAKE IT OFF! TAKE IT OFF! TAKE IT OFF!

Toucan: (removing her mask, revealing herself to be Dawn from the Pokémon franchise)

Kitty: HOLY SMOKES!!! It's Dawn from the Pokémon franchise!

Everyone: WHAT?!?

Chick: DAWN?!? REALLY?!?

Fred: We weren't close!!!

Terry: I can't believe we didn't even THINK about Pokémon!

Dawn: (putting her hairpins and her hat back on after brushing her messy hair) Ha! I got you guys REALLY good, didn't I? I bet my own mom didn't recognize me at first.

Kitty: I'm sure she didn't.

Fred: Oh, boy. If there was anything relating to Pokémon in ANY of your Clue Packages, I would've gotten it instantly.

Dawn: I'm pretty sure I've made a few references to my Pokémon throughout my Clue Packages, especially my partner Pokémon, Piplup.

Fred: Well, then I guess it went over my head.

Isabelle: Like it always does.

Fred: Not helping.

Kitty: Anyway, Dawn here is an aspiring Pokémon coordinator from Twinleaf Town located in the Sinnoh region. She has big dreams of becoming a Pokémon coordinator like her mother Joanna, and set out a journey throughout the Sinnoh region to fulfill her dream. Along the way, she met Ash and Brock, who were also travelling through the Sinnoh region, and she went with them on Ash's journey to conquer the Sinnoh region.

Dawn: It was mostly because Pikachu made my bike extra crispy that I decided to go with Ash and Brock on their journey.

Fred: (getting a sense of Deja vu) Gee, why does THAT sound familiar?

Dawn: Yeah, it was the same MO as May back in the Advanced series. Many fans have complained that I was pretty much a May copycat with all the contests and stuff. However, while May seemed pretty confident in her first couple of contests, I actually stumbled a bit when I first started out. In fact, I lost the very first contest I was in. I kept falling behind so much that I just wanted to quit, but all my friends and even my toughest rivals were able to encourage me to keep going, and eventually I made it to the Grand Festival in the Sinnoh region. ^^

Terry: Good for you, Dawn. ^^

Kitty: And she's even caught some interesting Pokémon along the way, too. Like Buneary, who has a HUGE crush on Ash's Pikachu, her overly hyperactive Pachirisu, a Buizel which she traded for Ash's Aipom which evolved into Amphipom, and even a Swinub, which evolved into a big and burly Mamoswine.

Stew: Oh, so THAT'S where the elephant clue came into play.

Dawn: Yup. I also have a Quilava and a Togekiss, as well.

Cadence: Well, that's quite a collection you got there, Dawn.

Dawn: Thanks, Cadence. ^^

Isabelle: But what was that "I'm not small" clue you mentioned at the end of your first Clue Package all about?

Dawn: It was a reference to all those memes about me being "smol" when the Gen 4 remakes came out, and my sprite in the game looked so small, you need a magnifying glass to see it! Oh, that REALLY burned me up, just like how that jerk Paul kept forgetting who I was. >: (

Isabelle: Oh. Now, I get it!

Kitty: But even though the Sinnoh era was her debut in the series, Dawn did go on to appear in most of Ash's other adventures, such as in the Unova region where she and Piplup helped keep Meloetta safe from Team Rocket, and she recently returned in Pokémon Journeys, where she befriended Chloe, and taught her all about Pokémon contests and the sort.

Dawn: Not to mention, I accompanied Ash and Goh to a Hisuian festival where we participated in an event where we would catch ancient Hisuian Pokémon. I think I may have an ancestor that looked just like me back then.

Chick: Given how Legends Arceus takes place in the past, it would seem most likely.

Isabelle: Maybe your ancestor knew Fred at one time.

Fred: Droll, Isabelle. Very droll. -_-

Terry: However, there's one thing I don't seem to get, Dawn. Why did you mention someone who refuses to grow up?

Dawn: It was about all those claims that Ash remains the same age even though the Pokémon anime has been going on for twenty something years. Don't these people realize that age doesn't matter in animation?

Terry: Yeah, I guess so.

Stew: But what about the ribbons?

Dawn: That's what I win in my contests: ribbons. Sheesh, you really ARE a bird brain.

Kitty: Hey! Leave my rogue's gallery outta this! But, anyway, what made you wanna sign up for the Masked Toon Singer, Dawn?

Dawn: Simply to get back to my performing roots. This show seems like a fun one, and I wanted to try it out.

Cadence: Well, you certainly picked a great show to come onto, Dawn. ^^

Terry: Not to mention, you were great at singing! You definitely showed us that you've still got some talent in you.

Dawn: Thanks so much. And I couldn't have done it without the support of my friends and family. So, everyone back home in Twinleaf Town, as well as Ash, Pikachu, and Brock, wherever you guys are, thanks for the support! I'll keep chasing my dreams, and I'll become an amazing performer one of these days! So, no need to worry!

Everyone: THAT'S WHEN WE WORRY THE MOST!!!!!

Dawn: Oh, brother.

Kitty: Ah, pay no attention to them, Dawn. Now, since nobody guessed that Dawn was the Toucan, the score for the running for the Golden Toon Ear Trophy remains as it is. And that about does it for Group B's Playoff round. Join us back here next time when we see Group C's Playoff Round. But, right now, let's hear it for the artist formerly known as the Toucan, Dawn!
