{{ | The upcoming [[Gardenia Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}} gives {{an|May}} the chance to win her fourth [[ribbon]]. May trains with her {{TP|May|Eevee}} as it prepares for a contest debut. A girl named [[Mollie]] and her {{p|Raticate}} are trying to register for the contest as May looks for her Eevee. They cross paths as Eevee pops out of the ground, knocking Mollie over. May apologizes as Mollie asks for directions to the registration desk. [[Brock]] gives her the directions and Mollie runs off. Eevee goes underground again and comes back up, knocking {{Ash}} down. [[Max]] points out that Eevee has learned {{m|Dig}}. | ||
A girl approaches Brock and picks up [[Brock's Bonsly]], calling it cute. She introduces herself as [[Yuma]], a {{g|Breeder}}. Brock reveals to her that he is also a breeder, but Yuma already noticed based on how he [[Pokémon training|raises]] his Pokémon and the food he feeds them. Brock sends out his other Pokémon and shows the [[Pokéblock]] that he feeds to his {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}}. Yuma seems impressed at Brock’s talent and asks if he enters contests, which he has not. Yuma reveals that she was also a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}, even winning the [[Grand Festival]]. She wants to pass her techniques on to others, mainly beginning coordinators. May asks Yuma to teach her some techniques, but Yuma mentions that May is already good enough. Brock immediately runs into the contest hall and returns with a [[Contest Pass]], entering into the Gardenia Contest. | |||
Meanwhile, [[Jessie]] orders {{MTR}} and [[James]] to help her sell fake ribbons and merchandise to make money in order to get her new costumes since she sold off her ''Jessebella'' wardrobe to cover the cost of their [[Team Rocket's Mechas|mechas]]. James looks at the fake ribbons and notices that Jessie is using his bottle caps on the ribbons. | |||
The contest begins with [[Lilian]] presenting the Gardenia Ribbon prize. Backstage, Brock feels nervous and excited at an official battle. The first round begins with Mollie sending out Raticate. It uses {{m|Hyper Fang}} to quickly grind a log into dust, shining its fangs and getting appeal. May opens with {{TP|May|Squirtle}}, using {{m|Rapid Spin}} to pulse dust waves. It follows up with {{m|Bubble}}, forming a pyramid before using {{m|Ice Beam}} to {{status|Freeze|freeze}} it, ending with a strong appeal. | |||
Brock makes his debut as the last contestant, sending out Bonsly and opening with {{m|Fake Tears}}. Brock deviates from the contest routine with his usual attraction to [[Nurse Joy]], and Lilian pulls him away. He bounces back by tossing a {{wp|baseball}} at Bonsly, the {{g|}} catching it with its head. He throws five baseballs in the air as Bonsly uses {{m|Flail}} to juggle them, gaining a strong appeal. May watches nervously at Brock’s first time performance. The preliminary round ends as Lilian announces the eight coordinators advancing to the battle rounds. May, Brock and Mollie make it. Yuma and the others head to the back and praise Brock and May. Yuma surprises everyone by asking Brock if he would become her study apprentice. | |||
The battle round begins with the first match, Mollie’s {{p|Absol}} against Brock’s Marshtomp. Absol opens with {{m|Razor Wind}} and Marshtomp dodges. Absol attempts a {{m|Quick Attack}}, but Marshtomp fires {{m|Mud Shot}} in its path, causing it to slip. Marshtomp uses {{m|Water Gun}} to [[unable to battle|knock out]] Absol, winning the round. | |||
The scene jumps ahead to the final round, with May’s Eevee against Brock’s Marshtomp. Eevee uses {{m|Shadow Ball}}, but Marshtomp blocks with {{m|Protect}}. Marshtomp counterattacks with Mud Shot, but Eevee uses Dig to avoid it. Brocks orders Marshtomp to sense Eevee's movements. Eevee pops out of the ground, but Marshtomp fires Water Gun the instant it appears, knocking Eevee down. Marshtomp fires Mud Shot as Eevee dodges, but the mud sticks onto Eevee’s leg and causes it to slip, allowing Marshtomp to follow up with {{m|Tackle}}. Eevee fires Shadow Ball, but Marshtomp’s Water Gun negates the attack before it follows up with Tackle. Eevee goes underground, but Marshtomp tackles Eevee as soon as it appears. Eevee attacks with Dig four times, but Marshtomp dodges all of the attacks. Marshtomp uses Mud Shot to cover the field and make it impossible for Eevee to use Dig. Eevee attempts to tackle, but Marshtomp uses Water Gun to knock it back and cause Eevee to slip in the mud. Marshtomp fires another Water Gun to stop Eevee, taking away some of May's points. | |||
With one minute remaining, May orders Eevee to jump on top of the mound. Marshtomp fires Water Gun, but Eevee jumps and runs on the water to tackle Marshtomp, dropping Brock's points. Marshtomp hits the mounds with Water Gun as Eevee dodges and fires another Shadow Ball, hitting and lowering Brock’s points. Eevee rushes to Tackle, dodging Mud Shot attacks and landing a hit. Eevee uses Shadow Ball again, but Marshtomp’s Water Gun stops the attack. Time runs out, and May has more points than Brock, declaring her the winner. Brock praises Marshtomp as Lilian presents May with the Gardenia Ribbon. | |||
As the day ends, Brock is upset that Yuma is taking Mollie as her student instead of Brock, mainly because she has more to learn than Brock. May is now one ribbon away from the Grand Festival. Meanwhile, Team Rocket has made enough money to get Jessie her costumes. | |||
