The first match of the second round put Jessie against Erica. The battle ended rather quickly as Jessie was disqualified for cheating, giving Erica a free pass to the Contest finals. The battle between May and Joshua, on the other hand, was a hard fought one. It ended with an explosion caused by the clash of May's Skitty's Blizzard and Joshua's Houndoom's {{m|Flamethrower}}. Having won this battle, May advanced to the final round, where she faced Erica. She had a little trouble dealing with Jynx's {{m|Psychic}} attack, but got the win after Skitty's Assist became {{m|Fire Spin}} and knocked Jynx out. This victory gave May her fifth Contest Ribbon, allowing her to enter the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]]. | The first match of the second round put Jessie against Erica.

* There is a possibility that Pacifidlog's concept was inspired by the [[Pokédex]] entry for {{p|Corsola}} in {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver|s}}, which states that, in a south sea nation, the people live in communities that are built on groups of these Pokémon. Despite this, Corsola cannot be encountered here. Instead, an NPC Trainer in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} and {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} will [[trade]] a Corsola for a {{p|Bellossom}}. | |||
* In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Sapphire, when played in English, the old man in the southwestern house says "One does not simply walk into a [[Mirage spot]]." This is a reference to the line "One does not simply walk into Mordor." from the film ''{{wp|The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring}}''. | |||
