AG033: Difference between revisions

Suddenly, a man approaches, clapping loudly. He says that was amazing and May thanks him. The man passes her and approaches Ash. He exclaims that Taillow battled so elegantly and he would like to see it in Pokémon contests. May tells that she is the one training for contests! The man laughs and says she did well too. He then exclaims that he is actually a leading expert in Pokémon contests, and he may be able to help her out. The man introduces himself as [[Mr. Big]]. May and Max goes starry eyed. May approaches him telling that she wants to know all the secrets. He pushes her back and says that the secret lies in [[Berry|berries]]. He tells the group that he grows many berries for Pokémon Contests and he'd be happy to help.

Meanwhile, May and Max listen to Mr. Big as he explains more things to them. He tells May that to win contests, she needs to use [[Pokéblock]]s that raise the condition of Pokémon. He then pulls out a Pokéblock case and exclaims that every Pokémon Contest contestant has to have one. The case is used to store Pokéblocks. He tells May that when you mix berries, they form Pokéblocks. She becomes really excited as he hands her the case, telling that she can have it. May is overjoyed and hugs her new contest item. Mr. Big then tells her to follow him to his berry building where she can make some Pokéblocks of her own.

They reach the building to find Torchic just outside the door. While May wonders what it's doing here, it turns around. Its beak is covered in purple goop and it happily looks up at her. Mr. Big goes insane, and tells that the goop is actually berry juice! The group heads inside to find an empty box covered in the purple berry juice. Mr. Big sighs, telling that those were his freshly picked Bluk berries. Brock checks the guide and explains that Bluk berries make the coats of Pokémon extra shiny, but their juices stain. May becomes angry at Torchic but Mr. Big assures her that it's all right. He then sighs and tells that he would really like to find some more before the contest. He adds in that they are pretty rare in this area. May shoves Torchic's face into the ground, but Mr. Big says it isn't Torchic's fault.

Ash wishes they could do something to help. May then cuts in, exclaiming that it was Torchic's fault. She then tells Mr. Big that she will find more {{b|Bluk}} berries for him so she can make Pokéblocks. She becomes determined, and Mr. Big thanks her. Outside, Team Rocket listens to all of this. Jessie says this will be easy, as all they have to do is let the twerps find the berries. Meowth agrees and says they can give some to the boss. He then has a [[Boss fantasy|daydream]] of {{an|Giovanni}} sipping Bluk juice and his hair turning shiny. James agrees but Jessie interrupts telling that all the berries are for Dustox.

It bites onto the branch and hangs there. Ash and the others approach and see Torchic hanging from the Bluk branch. May congratulates it on finding the berry just as the branch breaks. Torchic falls but May calls out Beautifly who catches it with String Shot. May hugs Torchic, happy to have it back. Drew stands on a rock above them holding the berry. May notices him and asks what he wants. Drew laughs and informs her that he would like a match with her Beautifly to determine who gets the berry. May agrees to this.
