Meanwhile, [[Jessie]] declares that she will win the Grand Festival, with five Ribbons pinned to her top. She imagines being on [[Magazines in the Pokémon world|magazine]] covers, setting fashion trends, and getting a recording contract. {{MTR}} says he would rather be a simple thief with no pressure, and Jessie shakes him violently to remind him who is in charge. [[James]] informs Jessie that using the stolen Contest Pass will result in Anthony's face being the one on the cover, which Jessie had forgotten. | Meanwhile, [[Jessie]] declares that she will win the Grand Festival, with five Ribbons pinned to her top.

May asks {{TP|May|Munchlax}}, {{TP|May|Skitty}}, {{TP|May|Combusken}}, and {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} which of them wants to team up with {{TP|May|Beautifly}} for their first practice, with the latter three cheering excitedly while Munchlax sleeps. May asks Harley if the others can take it in turns, which he says is fine, and May picks Skitty to go first. Brock questions May’s judgment, though she confidently responds that it was Beautifly’s {{m|Silver Wind}} that got her this far in the first place. Drew and his Pokémon watch the match. Harley invites May to make the first move, and Skitty's {{m|Assist}} becomes Combusken's {{m|Fire Spin}}, pushing {{TP|Harley|Cacturne}} back several paces.

Harley invites May to make the first move, and Skitty's {{m|Assist}} becomes Combusken's {{m|Fire Spin}}, pushing {{TP|Harley|Cacturne}} back several paces. Assist becomes Silver Wind, which causes Harley to run over and seize May's hand, complimenting her on the [[move]]. Harley asserts that Beautifly's Silver Wind and Skitty's Assist could pull off an unbeatable appeal. May is unsure, saying that Assist is too unpredictable to place her faith in. Harley reassures her that the appeal of Assist is its unpredictability, and May agrees with Harley, choosing to use Skitty instead of Beautifly in the first round. Caroline thinks the strategy is risky, and Drew agrees as he walks off. | ||
Ash, Pikachu, and Anthony have had no luck finding the thieves. After [[Max]] alerts [[Officer Jenny]] to the situation, Jenny reassures Anthony that he can still compete if he reports to the main office. However, Anthony is too devastated by the loss of his {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]]s to compete. Max pipes up and realizes that with Anthony's Contest Pass also stolen, the thief must be planning to enter and all they need to do is check for someone whose picture and face do not match. Ash, Anthony, and Jenny agree to the plan, and Jenny tells them all to get to the main stage. | Ash, Pikachu, and Anthony have had no luck finding the thieves.

The main Appeals Round begins with a {{p|Ninetales}}'s {{m|Flamethrower}}, before giving way to Harley and his {{p|Banette}}, who terrifies Vivian and even May side stage with its malicious smile. Banette uses {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} and then strikes itself with {{m|Thunder}}, scoring 89 out of 100. Several other {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s score well, an {{p|Alakazam}}, a {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Sunflora}}, {{p|Ledian}}, {{p|Electrode}}, and {{p|Lickitung}} all scoring in the high seventies and eighties. Drew and May both show their confidence for moving on. | The main Appeals Round begins with a {{p|Ninetales}}'s {{m|Flamethrower}}, before giving way to Harley and his {{p|Banette}}, who terrifies Vivian and even May side stage with its malicious smile.

Vivian calls Anthony, while Ash, Jenny, and the real Anthony watch from the shadows for who comes out. Jessie in her best impression of a male voice, comes jogging down the corridor. As Jessie walks by, Anthony stops her in her tracks and confronts her. Meowth and James, watching from afar, are stunned by the appearance of the real Anthony, as well as Ash and Jenny. Jessie denies being an imposter only for Swalot to use {{m|Swallow}} then {{m|Spit Up}}, spitting out a now costume-less Jessie. Jenny orders her under arrest, only for Jessie to challenge her. However, before she can call out a Pokémon, James and Meowth, afraid of prison, seize her arms and drag her away. Anthony takes his place on stage with an impressive appeal by using Swalot's fluid body for an impressive entry.

It smashes apart its own {{m|Sludge Bomb}} with {{m|Bullet Seed}} and Swallows the whole lot for a clean finish, earning himself 82 points. | ||
May comes out next, and sends out her Skitty to great applause. She orders Assist to successfully produce Silver Wind, then follows up with a range of other attacks which impresses Mr. Sukizo, but Raoul Contesta is not thrilled as Skitty is not showing its own attributes off. However, when Assist becomes {{m|Solar Beam}}, May is thrown off because she did not realize that any of her Pokémon knew Solar Beam. Caroline wonders if Solar Beam belongs to Munchlax, who is sleeping on her lap. May jumps back into action with an Assist that results in Petal Dance, which looks good but leaves Skitty {{status|confusion|confused}}. Much to the group's horror, Skitty begins to run in circles much to the audience's amusement. May has no idea how to get Skitty back on track, as she does not want to risk Assist again. Backstage, Harley is gleeful at May's disastrous performance before he is confronted by Drew. Harley shrugs off his foul play tactic as competition. Back on stage, May is still torn and thinks Harley had her best interests at heart, but decides to ignore his advice and tell Skitty to use {{m|Double Slap}} on itself, breaking it out of confusion. Harley is horrified, but Drew is satisfied. May orders Skitty to finish with {{m|Blizzard}}, creating a towering fortress of ice. May scores 79, which has the group in doubt as to whether she can advance. Backstage, May apologizes to Harley for not following his advice, only for Drew to reveal to her that Harley knew all along that sticking with Assist would end badly for May, and purposely advised her to do so to with the intention of making her lose, with Harley admitting that Drew is correct and telling May that she was a fool for trusting him. Hurt and angry, May questions why Harley would do something so despicable, to which he replies that it was to get revenge on her for [[AG103|defeating him]] in the [[Purika City]] competition. May believes that Harley is unjust in wanting revenge for losing fair and square, but Harley shrugs her off and assures her that she will lose this competition, before shouldering her and walking off.

Drew tells May that Harley was right about it being foolish for her to trust him, and that she should instead trust in her own heart and do what ''she'' knows is right, before also walking off. May visibly takes this advice to heart. | ||

The field is | Back on stage, Vivian Meridian announces the top three finishers from the Appeals Stage - third: Drew and his {{m|Hidden Power}}-using Masquerain. The field is covered in {{m|Bubble}}s, which are diverted with Silver Wind, giving Drew a standing ovation and a perfect 100. Harley snidely says it's not great, but Ash and Caroline are both amazed. First place {{ho|Robert}} and his {{p|Milotic}} also advance with a perfect score. The top thirty-two are announced. Robert and Drew easily make it through with Harley, and May scrapes through as well. The Coordinators who moved on are paired up for the Double Contest Battles and May is matched with Harley. | ||
On the beach that night, Jessie plans to move on to Plan C - no matter what, she is going to be in the Contest. The next day, Harley and May kick off the first lot of Double Contest Battles - Harley's Cacturne and Banette against May's Bulbasaur and Beautifly. May calls for a fair battle, but Harley's only response is that they have different views of fairness. Finally, May says that she is willing to play rough if that's what it takes to beat Harley. | On the beach that night, Jessie plans to move on to Plan C - no matter what, she is going to be in the Contest.
