'''VS Medicham''' (Japanese: '''VS チャーレム''' ''VS {{tt|Charem|Medicham}}'' or '''シダケのコンテスト''' ''{{tt|Shidake|Verdanturf}} Contest'') is the 217th round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}.

At the [[Desert Ruins]], [[Team Magma]] lies inside of their base. While [[Tabitha|Mitch]] reveals to [[Maxie]] that he failed to stop the death of [[Mt. Chimney]], [[Mack]] modifies the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Scanner|Detector}}, and [[Magma Admin Courtney|Marge]] goes to look for a certain {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb|treasure}}. Before Marge leaves, Maxie has her use the lighter to show him images about what had happened at the [[Abandoned Ship]]. After she leaves, Maxie decides that it's time for him to go out as well.

At [[Verdanturf Town]], Ruby finally is able to start his first Hoenn Contest. With {{adv|Coco}}, he easily beats the Normal Rank [[Cute Contest]]. Later, a crowd gathers to look at Ruby's victories in the Cool and Cute Contests with [[Nana]] and Coco, respectively. Upstairs, Ruby prepares a sweater for [[Zuzu]], but is still struggling from the injuries in his battle with [[Norman]]. Although injured, Ruby is too happy about his acquisition of a Contest Pass to care, and assigns Contest categories to his team.

 

For Coco, she will be assigned to Cute Contests; for Nana, Cool Contests; for Zuzu, [[Tough Contest]]s; for his two new members, {{adv|Mimi}} and Popo, [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] and [[Smart Contest|Smart]] Contests, respectively. As Ruby takes pictures of his team, [[Gabby & Ty|Maryann & Tyler]] come in to interview him for his recent Contest victories. Although he'd love to be on TV, Ruby refuses as he does not want himself to be shown as a kidnap victim and runs off when the Beauty Contest begins.

 

Tyler feels bad for giving Ruby the {{p|Castform}} belonging to [[Mr. Stone]], along with the fact that they should be reporting on the submarine incident instead of Ruby. Maryann replies that they should keep following Ruby, as she has a good feeling about him.

 

Before the next Contest starts, the announcer explains how the Contest system works. If one wins a Contest in Verdanturf Town, they can challenge a Contest of a higher rank in [[Fallarbor Town]], [[Slateport City]], and [[Lilycove City]], respectively. After explaining the two parts of a Contest, the announcer starts the Normal Rank Beauty Contest.

 

In the Contest, Ruby uses Mimi, which confuses the audience at his choice of Pokémon. In his head, Ruby recalls learning that a beautiful Pokémon can win a Contest on their own, but if Ruby can win the Contest with Mimi, he can surprised everyone. Ruby has Mimi use {{m|Water Pulse}}, which gets applause from the audience. As the audience claps, Ruby notices what appears to be {{adv|Wally}} in the crowd.
