Synopsis
Thanks to Archaic for the synopsis.
This episode is the second part of the competition between May and Kelly. It appears as though Combusken was showing off, as it jumps in front of May, knocks its flame wheel into a flame rain, and then jumps up holding a huge ball of flame, which it then smacks with a Sky Upper, bringing another fire rain down. The crowd goes wild. The judges give May scores of 8.5, 8.0, and 7.1, for a cumulative score of 23.6 The judges seem to love the look, but at least one of them realized that it was more luck than planning. Swellow, meanwhile, is continuing to train. It seems to be having trouble concentrating, though, between the coordinators and the huge screen showing them compete.
Grumpig apparently likes to wag its tail and it shows off with some psychic juggling of Pokéblocks. The audience is really involved with Grumpig's performance and it finishes by eating all of the Pokéblocks. The judges award Grumpig a cumulative 27.7 score, which will be hard to beat. Swellow has finally mastered the limbo bar outside but then smacks into a tree because it wasn't paying attention to its direction.
Next in the contest are Jessie and Chimecho. The two basically hypnotize the audience with happy thoughts, but their finish is clouded by Jessie trying to make Chimecho's voice more dynamic but it sounds awful. Pikachu and Swellow hear this outside. However, the judges award Jessie and Chimecho a perfect score of 30. After a random shuffling of contestants, May and Jessie are facing each other in the semifinals. Now, it's Combusken versus Chimecho. Chimecho puts up a good fight, but May isn't going to lose easily. One Peck Attack later, and Chimecho backs off. Then a Fire Spin attack is ordered, followed by a Double Edge attack. Combusken counters with another Sky Upper, and this completely KO's Jessie and Chimecho. Outside, Ash and Swellow are training very hard, and Swellow finally learns Aerial Ace. However, on one attempt Swellow misses the target but hits Team Rocket, who are heading home after Jessie's defeat in the contest.
It comes down to May versus Kelly in the finals. An Iron Tail attack is used, but Combusken catches it in its claws. A fire counterattack is foiled by a psychic attack, sending it back as a fire dragon. Combusken smashes that with Sky Upper, but then gets caught in a psychokinesis trap and is rendered helpless. Grumpig appears to be the default winner, as Combusken can't move but then Combusken fires off a Fire Blast at the room, causing a Fire Rain, which damages Grumpig. They fall together as the psychic attack fails and Combusken saves them both by using flames to halt their descent. May is the winner! Kelly promises that she'll be even stronger the next time they meet.
