AG091: Difference between revisions

This episode is the second half of the {{ci|Lilycove}} {{g|Contest}}. It appears as though {{TP|May|Combusken}} was only showing off during its appeal, as it jumps in front of May, knocks its wheel of flame into a rain of fire, and then jumps up holding a huge ball of fire, which it then smacks with a {{m|Sky Uppercut}}, bringing another rain of fire down. The crowd goes wild, and the judges give May scores of 8.5, 8.0, and 7.1, for a cumulative score of 23.6. The judges seem to love the look, but at least one of them realized that it was more luck than planning. Swellow, meanwhile, continues to train. It seems to be having trouble concentrating, though, between the Coordinators and the huge screen showing them compete.

Kelly's {{p|Grumpig}} apparently likes to wag its tail as it shows off with some psychic juggling of [[Pokéblocks]]. The audience is really involved with Grumpig's performance and it finishes by eating all of the Pokéblocks.  The judges award Grumpig a cumulative 27.7 score, which will be hard to beat. Swellow has finally mastered the limbo bar outside but then smacks into a tree because it wasn't paying attention to its direction.   

Next in the contest are [[Jessie]] and {{TP|James|Chimecho}}.  The two basically hypnotize the audience with {{m|Heal Bell}}, but their finish is clouded by Jessie trying to make Chimecho's voice more dynamic but making it sound awful. Pikachu and Swellow hear this outside. However, the judges award Jessie and Chimecho a perfect score of 30. After a random shuffling of contestants, May and Jessie are facing each other in the semifinals, with Combusken versus Chimecho.  Chimecho puts up a good fight, but May isn't going to lose easily. One {{m|Peck}} attack later, Chimecho backs off, and a {{m|Fire Spin}} attack is ordered. This is followed by Jessie ordering a {{m|Double-Edge}} attack, which Combusken counters with a Sky Uppercut, and this completely knocks out Jessie and Chimecho. Outside, Ash and Swellow are training very hard, and Swellow finally learns {{m|Aerial Ace}}. However, on one attempt Swellow misses the target but hits Team Rocket, who are heading home after Jessie's defeat in the Contest.
