{{an|May}}'s performance at {{ci|Lilycove}} [[Pokémon Contest]] gets off to a chaotic start when {{TP|May|Combusken}} {{m|Fire Spin}} goes out of control. Luckily, Combusken blocks the oncoming inferno and uses {{m|Peck}} to a dazzling display of embers. May orders a follow up Fire Spin to gather up the embers into a fireball before smacking it with a {{m|Sky Uppercut}}, bringing another rain of fire down. The crowd goes wild, and [[Contest Judge|the judges]] commend May's unintentional, yet well delivered [[Appeal]] with a cumulative score of 23.6. May heads backstage where {{ho|Kelly}} praises her efforts, though [[Jessie]] sees that the low score is sure to stop May advancing into the next round. | {{an|May}}'s performance at {{ci|Lilycove}} [[Pokémon Contest]] gets off to a chaotic start when {{TP|May|Combusken}} {{m|Fire Spin}} goes out of control.

{{ho|Kelly}}'s takes to the stage, calling on her {{p|Grumpig}} to show the crowd its springy tail. She follow up with a "[[Pokéblock]] party", and has Grumpig uses its {{m|Psychic}} to juggle Pokéblocks. The audience gets really involved with Grumpig's performance and it finishes by eating all of the Pokéblocks. The judges award Grumpig a combined score of 27.7, which will be hard to beat.

Next in the Contest are Jessafina and {{TP|James|Chimecho}}. The two soothe the audience with melodic tones {{m|Heal Bell}}, but their finish is clouded by Jessafina trying to make Chimecho's voice more dynamic. She tugs on its tail, and Chimecho lets out ear-splitting sounds of its {{m|Astonish}} instead. Surprisingly the judges award Jessie and Chimecho a perfect score of 30. [[Raoul Contesta]] explains that Jessafina's daring performance was unexpected, a hallmark attribute of any good Coordinator. {{MTR}} admits that Jessafina and Chimecho may be a perfect pair, but [[James]] scolds him for that remark. | ||
With the conclusion of the Appeals Round, the eight Coordinators moving on to the [[Contest Battle]]s are revealed, including Jessafina, Kelly and May. After defeating their opponents in the first match of the Battle Round, May and Jessafina face each other in the semi-finals, with Combusken versus Chimecho. Combusken lashes Chimecho with a {{m|Quick Attack}}, and Chimecho retaliates by {{m|Wrap}}ping itself around its opponent's neck. James watches in horror as Combusken Pecks at Chimecho to free itself before engulfing it in a Fire Spin. Jessafina orders a {{m|Double-Edge}} attack, though Combusken counters with a Sky Uppercut, and this completely knocks out Jessie and Chimecho. Meanwhile, {{Ash}} and {{AP|Swellow}} continue {{pkmn|training}} to master {{m|Aerial Ace}} outside the [[Contest Hall]]. Under [[Vladimir]]'s watch Swellow manages to finally master the attack's accuracy and timing, performing a textbook perfect version of Aerial Ace on a target. | With the conclusion of the Appeals Round, the eight Coordinators moving on to the [[Contest Battle]]s are revealed, including Jessafina, Kelly and May.

Meanwhile, on one attempt, Swellow misses the target and crashes into Team Rocket, sending the trio blasting off. | |||
It comes down to May versus Kelly in the finals. Grumpig tries an {{m|Iron Tail}}, but Combusken catches it in its claws, costing Kelly some of her points. The {{type|Fire}} issues a Fire Spin counterattack, but is foiled by a Psychic, and Grumpig sends it back as a fire dragon. Combusken smashes it with Sky Uppercut, but then gets caught in a psychokinetic trap and is rendered helpless. Kelly declares that she is going to finish May off, and Grumpig {{m|Bounce}}s towards its opponent. With quick thinking on May's part, Combusken aims a Fire Spin at the ceiling, causing it to rain fire and damage Grumpig. They fall together as the Psychic attack fails, but Combusken saves them both by using Fire Spin to halt their descent. The five minutes are up, and with the most points remaining, May is declares the winner. The Judges also affirm the ruling, adding that May’s efforts to help her opponent make her a noble contestant. May proudly holds her new bubble-patterned Lilycove [[Ribbon]]. Kelly promises that she'll be even stronger the next time they meet. May is up for the challenge, replying that she'll be using her custom Pokéblock. | It comes down to May versus Kelly in the finals.
