Drew and Sonny's battle is first. Sonny sends out his {{p|Girafarig}} while Drew chooses his {{p|Masquerain}} that he showed May the previous evening. A brief exchange (Girafarig's {{m|Iron Tail}} versus Masquerain's {{m|Bubble}}), Masquerain uses {{m|Ice Beam}} to freeze its own Bubbles, and then {{m|Hidden Power}} to launch the guide at Sonny's Girafarig, which is then knocked out. Drew thus gains a quick victory over Sonny and advances to the finals. That leaves May versus Savannah, and May determined to win. May's Bulbasaur and Savannah's Lairon take the stage but each Trainer has an immediate problem—Savannah continues to suffer from stage fright and nerves and May's Bulbasaur is unfamiliar with the big city, and is dazzled by the Contest stage and roaring crowd. Bulbasaur quickly retreats to behind May for cover. In the audience, Brock speculate that's May's angry outbursts backstage upset Bulbasaur. Unfortunately, May is also none too kind in telling Bulbasaur to take the stage, and Bulbasaur reluctantly steps forward to face Lairon. | Drew and Sonny's battle is first.

With the battle joined in earnest, Savannah orders Lairon to use {{m|Take Down}}. May calls for Bulbasaur to dodge, but the bright lights and unfamiliar stage fill her with fear, which is compounded by May's anger. Bulbasaur therefore takes the attack head on. May orders a counterattack with {{m|Vine Whip}}, which Bulbasaur supplies, but Lairon counters with a surprise and Electric-type {{m|Shock Wave}}, which traces the Vine Whip and shocks Bulbasaur. Sandra reveals, at this point, that she was also the architect of the Shock Wave combo and that because of Vine Whip's direct contact, Lairon paralyzed Bulbasaur.

May declares that she's not done, but the judges rebuke her harshly, declaring that she has disregarded the well-being of her Bulbasaur. May has lost the battle, and Savannah continues to the finals. | ||
In the next scene, May is outside tending to her Bulbasaur. She apologizes to her Pokémon for letting her desire for a Ribbon cause her to lose sight of what was important, and Bulbasaur easily forgives her. She is soon joined by Ash and Pikachu, who invite her inside to watch the final round. Ash tells May that everyone gets carried away with wanting to win sometimes, and that the most important fact of battling, Contest or [[Gym]], is that {{pkmn|Trainer}} and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} must be in sync to succeed. Meanwhile, Drew and Savannah are fighting fiercely. In the final seconds of the match, Drew scores an unavenged hit with Hidden Power, and time expires before Savannah can counter with a Shock Wave. The victory goes to Drew (who courteously shakes hands with his opponent after the battle), and he gains the Rubello Town Contest Ribbon, bringing his total to four and leaving him with only one more needed to enter the [[Grand Festival]]). | In the next scene, May is outside tending to her Bulbasaur.
