<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-8/episode-11-08_11-a-cacturne-for-the-worse/-->
<i>The kids are still headed for Izabe Island, where May will compete in her next Pokémon Contest with Bulbasaur. Meanwhile, Team Rocket has just bought a cartload of berries to make PokéBlocks out of. Unfortunately, they aren't a type that PokéBlocks can be made out of.
 
On board the boat, May meets a Trainer named Harley and his Cacturne. He is quickly annoyed by her though, because she doesn't recognize what a Cacturne is, nor does she bestow highest compliments on his cookies!
 
Just prior to the Purika City contest, Max is nowhere to be found, until he runs up alongside Harley. May goes out and impresses the crowd with her Bulbasaur's Razor Leaf and Vine Whip, while Harley's Cacturne stuns the crowd with its lightning-fast Bullet Seed. Both of them progress to the next round.
 
In the next round, Cacturne quickly takes out an Azurill. Harley tells May that her opponent, a Surskit, is slow in battle, so her Bulbasaur moves in close to the Surskit. She is surprised when Surskit's Quick Attack deals a beating to her Bulbasaur—in fact, that Surskit is known for its impressive speed! May eventually recovers enough to claim victory.
 
In the next round, May faces off against Harley, and she's doing well with a strong combo of Vine Whip and Tackle. Just then, a recording plays over the loudspeakers—it's Max, telling an embarrassing story about May to Harley. She is mortified and angry, allowing Cacturne to hit Bulbasaur hard. Ash calls out to May, giving her focus. She combines Petal Dance and Razor Leaf for a beautiful knock-out blow. May wins the ribbon, and the kids head off. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is dreaming of being highly-successful PokéBlock vendors...</i>

The episode starts with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} on the boat to [[Izabe Island]]. {{an|May}} is on the deck practicing with her {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}}, trying to get its [[Move|attacks]] finalized before the big {{pkmn|Contest}}. Bulbasaur uses {{m|Razor Leaf}}, and then follows it up with a {{m|Vine Whip}}. After the attack's finished, May seems pleased with Bulbasaur's performance.

Elsewhere, on Izabe Island, {{TRT}} is pulling a large cart full of [[Berry|Berries]] up a steep hill. [[Jessie]] plans to use the Berries to make [[Pokéblock]]s, enabling them to make lots of money at the upcoming Contest. However, {{MTR}} has them stop the cart and says that they can't make Pokéblocks out of those particular Berries. Jessie gets angry and tries to carry the cart up the hill by herself, but without the other two helping her, she's dragged downhill as James and Meowth watch.

Jessie gets angry and tries to carry the cart up the hill by herself, but without the other two helping her, she's dragged downhill as James and Meowth watch.


Back on the boat, May is approached by a guy in a {{p|Cacturne}}-themed outfit. The purple-haired man, who introduces himself as [[Harley]], is a Cacturne {{pkmn|Trainer}} who also competes in Pokémon Contests. May goes to look up the Cacturne on her [[Pokédex]], and Harley seems offended that she had to look such a magnificent Pokémon up. After hearing what the Pokédex has to say about Cacturne, May comments that the Cactus Pokémon looks scary, which upsets Harley even further. However, Harley turns the other cheek and simply smiles as he offers May some cookies that he had made. May eats them and says that they're "not half bad", and Harley seems upset. May looks up to request one for her Bulbasaur, but Harley is nowhere to be seen!

* In the Latin American Spanish dub, in this first appearance of Harley, he is referred as a woman by Max when explaining why he told "her" about May's Tentacool experience. Furthermore, he's dubbed in a very straight way that contrasts with future episodes, where Harley's voice actor adds many extravagant elements to his personality and way of talking.

* When Harley begins mimicking May after putting her photo on the scrapbook he changes into her hace twice, the first in the beginning of a sentence and the other in the middle for brief seconds. In the original the second time he had changed into his face was to put emphasis on his annoyance of May overuse of ''kamo'', a Japanese word for unsureness.
