The second round starts with May battling Jessica. Jessica sends out Dustox and tells it to use {{m|Tackle}} and add rainbow, a move that {{MTR}} is operating backstage. May tells Beautifly to dodge it and use {{m|String Shot}}. Dustox then uses {{m|Whirlwind}} to send the attack back and hit Beautifly, making May lose points. Dustox then uses a {{m|Poison Sting}}, which May knocks back with {{m|Gust}}, making it lose points and damaging the rainbow device. Dustox then uses Tackle and May counters it with {{m|Silver Wind}}. Dustox loses even more points and damages the device even further. May congratulates Beautifly while Jessica furiously demands a rainbow {{m|Psybeam}}, which fails when Meowth discovers the remote is broken. Beautifly uses Tackle, which sends Dustox flying back into Jessica, losing all of their points at the 1:58 minute mark.  

May is declared the winner, though Jessica is set on getting her revenge. As Dustox returns to the air, the rainbow device hits the ground and the whole audience sees that Jessica cheated. [[Raoul Contesta]] stands up and attempts to disqualify her, at which point Jessica screams and throws a yellow Poké Ball prop which releases yellow dust. When the dust clears, Jessica is revealed to be Jessie, with the rest of {{TRT}} standing right there. They tell the audience that they want their Pokémon, and are about to battle with their own. Ash jumps up and tells {{AP|Pikachu}} to quickly use {{m|Thunderbolt}} to blast Team Rocket off. [[Vivian Meridian]] apologizes for the interruption before the second round continues with Grace versus Drew. Grace sends out Medicham and Drew sends out Roselia. Drew starts off with {{m|Magical Leaf}}, which Grace uses {{m|Meditate}} to dodge. Then Medicham uses {{m|Ice Punch}}, which Roselia gracefully dodges. It then uses {{m|Petal Dance}}, which Medicham stops in midair with {{m|Confusion}} and sends back, causing Roselia to lose points. Drew then commands Roselia to use {{m|Solar Beam}}. Grace tells Medicham to use Ice Punch on the ground, which builds a shield around Roselia, causing it to hit itself. Grace wins the battle after knocking it out with a powerful {{m|High Jump Kick}}.

The final battle pits May's Beautifly against Grace's Medicham. May starts with Tackle, which Medicham dodges with Meditate. Grace follows up with an Ice Punch, but Beautifly batters Medicham away with a Gust. Just before it falls to the ground, Medicham uses Confusion to levitate, limiting the number of points lost. Beautifly tries a String Shot which Medicham sends back with another Confusion, damaging and tangling up Beautifly. Medicham then uses Ice Punch, encasing Beautifly in ice. As Beautifly breaks free, Medicham rushes in for a High Jump Kick. Beautifly dodges and uses Silver Wind, hitting Medicham and causing it to [[crash damage|hurt its knee]], costing Grace major points. Beautifly uses a Tackle and String Shot [[Contest combination|combo]], though Medicham uses Confusion to stop it. Still spinning, Beautifly overcomes this with a Silver Wind and encases Medicham in silky thread. May uses Tackle as Medicham breaks out of the string and dodges. Beautifly then uses Silver Wind and traps Medicham's hands, immobilizing it. Then Beautifly uses a Tackle and Silver Wind combo to inflict more damage on Medicham. Medicham then tries to turn it around with a High Jump Kick, which May tells Beautifly to counter with Tackle. The two approach each other head-on and collide just as time runs out. May is declared the winner of the Fallarbor Contest, as she was the one with more points. She is astounded by her victory over Grace before hugging Beautifly for its efforts. Raoul hands May the pink Fallarbor [[Ribbon]], which she happily places into her Ribbon case. Drew later approaches the group and declares that things would have been different if he battled May. He throws a rose to May before walking off in a smug manner. May, however, is more confident in her Coordinator ambitions while Ash has his sights set on his [[Lavaridge Gym]] match.

* Jessie was disqualified from the {{to|Fallarbor}} {{pkmn|Contest}}, despite being already eliminated due to losing her [[Contest Battle]] against May.

* When James, Meowth and Wobbuffet are rubbing Jessie's and Dustox's backs, Wobbuffet pops up for agreement for their speech. At the same time the sound that is usually heard when Wobbuffet pops out from its Poké Ball is heard, even though it was outside of its Ball already.
