Another day and another adventure begins | Another day and another adventure begins as {{an|May}} sends out {{cat|May's Pokémon|her three Pokémon}} and begins her speech about the [[Kanto]] [[Pokémon Contest]] circuit, but {{TP|May|Munchlax}} and {{TP|May|Squirtle}} seem to not be that much interested. The group notices that there are already people in the [[Saffron City]] [[Contest Hall]] and a boy with his {{p|Mankey}} tells them that it is open so that people can check out the stage. Inside the Contest Hall, preparations are being made just as May steps in. She is very exuberant and ecstatic about starting her Kanto campaign. The group notices the [[Contest announcer|announcer]] in the middle of the stage and are unsure whether she is [[Vivian Meridian]] or not. | ||
At the nearby [[Pokémon Center]], everyone is enjoying cold drinks as May wonders about using Squirtle in the Contest, but ultimately decides to do so. [[Nurse Joy]] announces that the Pokémon belonging to contestant #45 are fully recovered and are being brought out mentions. May rushes over, but is completely shocked to see [[Harley]] pushing the cart containing | As part of a rehearsal, the announcer steps up to the middle of the stadium and calls out her {{p|Espeon}}, whose magnificent coat shimmers under the stadium lights. She tells Espeon to use {{m|Swift}}, followed by a {{m|Psychic}} which causes the stars to form several rings. Espeon leaps and somersaults several times through the rings and gracefully lands on the stage. [[May's Squirtle]] becomes excited and rushes down to the center of the ring, whereupon it begins releasing {{m|bubble}}s. The announcer picks Squirtle up and hands it back to May, who apologizes. While in May's arms, Squirtle begins to cry. The announcer thinks that Squirtle wants to be on stage, which is confirmed by its sudden joy. May greets her familiarly, but the announcer says that they have not met before. Mistaking the woman for Vivian, May reminds her that they have already met in [[Hoenn]], but the woman says that her name is [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]], Vivian's younger sister and the master of ceremonies for [[Kanto]] Pokémon Contests. | ||
At the nearby [[Pokémon Center]], everyone is enjoying cold drinks as May wonders about using Squirtle in the Saffron Contest, but ultimately decides to do so. [[Nurse Joy]] announces that the Pokémon belonging to contestant #45 are fully recovered and are being brought out mentions. May rushes over, but is completely shocked to see [[Harley]] pushing the cart containing her Pokémon. May asks fearfully why he is here, but Harley appears pleasantly surprised to see her. | |||
Dressed in a gown-like costume and going under the pseudonym "Jessabella," [[Jessie]] steps into the Contest registration room and presents her [[Contest Pass]] to a lady at the counter. The lady tells her that her Contest Pass is invalid because it is for [[Hoenn]] Contests, whereas [[Kanto]] Contests require a Kanto Pass. Jessie explains how famous she is and demands a Kanto Pass as {{MTR}} and [[James]] appear as Jessabella's assistants Meowthison and Jamison. | Dressed in a gown-like costume and going under the pseudonym "Jessabella," [[Jessie]] steps into the Contest registration room and presents her [[Contest Pass]] to a lady at the counter.

Jessie plants her foot in Meowth's face and then asks James to lend her {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. Meowth says that the plan is crazy enough to work and convinces James to go with it. When he calls Cacnea out, though, it greets him with the usual prickly hug, which Jessie is not enthused about. | ||
When May asks Harley why he is here, he explains that he became Nurse Joy's orderly as thanks after she nursed his {{TP|Harley|Cacturne}} back to health. He says that he came here for the Contest, of course, and that the rules in Kanto are a little different: {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s may switch their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} between the [[Appeal|first]] and [[Contest Battle|second]] rounds. Max accuses him of playing more dirty tricks, and Harley begs them to believe that he's a different person now, but their doubt remains. Joy then appears in the doorway to Brock's delight. Harley rushes over to and begs her to tell the group that the rules are indeed different, which she confirms. May and her friends are surprised to hear that Harley is telling the truth and has been a big help in the Pokémon Center. May decides to use Squirtle and {{TP|May|Combusken}} in the Contest, and the two respond by athletically jumping off of the gurney and landing with a pose. As Nurse Joy leaves, Harley tells May that her Hoenn Pass will also work in Kanto and that registration is until 11 AM the next day. They agree to go eat lunch, but Harley grows a smirk on his face and chuckles. | When May asks Harley why he is here, he explains that he became Nurse Joy's orderly as thanks after she nursed his {{TP|Harley|Cacturne}} back to health.
