After all of the hard {{pkmn|training}} and earning [[Ribbon]]s, {{an|May}}'s long awaited moment has come. She's arrived at [[Slateport City]] for the Pokémon Contest Grand Festival, and is just taking a step into the [[Contest Hall]] to register. At the front desk, she signs her Pokémon and all five of her Ribbons in, and the receptionist gives her a ticket, and a guidebook for the Festival rules as they are a bit different. The receptionist explains that the guidebook has all of the rules, maps of the stadium, and restaurant locations. | After all of the hard {{pkmn|training}} and earning [[Ribbon]]s, {{an|May}}'s long-awaited moment has come.

Everyone goes to their dorm rooms and notices how big they are and that they look like a hotel instead. May is greeted by a surprise guest - [[Caroline|her mom]]. May asks her mom if [[Norman|her dad]] was going to be there but he couldn't make it simply because he's too busy the [[Petalburg Gym|Gym]], which is getting quite a lot of challengers. But, she says he'll be watching her on TV and not missing a single moment. {{an|Brock}} tells Caroline that he has been making sure they eat healthy meals just as she suggested. {{Ash}} points out to May that her room has a cool view of the ocean. | Everyone goes to their dorm rooms and notices how big they are and that they look like a hotel instead.

As Caroline delivers May her mail, she receives a surprise. A letter from [[Kelly]] of [[Lilycove City]]! Then, Brock finds one from [[Savannah]] and her daughter [[Sandra]] from [[Rubello Town]]... as well as everyone else. They all couldn't make it in time for the festival this year, but they do remember May and are all supporting her. May starts shaking out of nervousness about the Grand Festival, but she remembers that everyone is supporting her and because of that she shouldn't be afraid. May asks Brock about the rules that are in the guidebook. Just like in Rubello Town, which instituted "Grand Festival rules", different Pokémon are to be used in various rounds, and just like any normal Contest it has preliminary matches, followed by the main Contest matches. 247 {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s compete in the preliminary matches but only 64 Coordinators move on to the main Contest matches. Brock suggests to May that she should practice to prepare for the preliminary rounds and she agrees. | As Caroline delivers May her mail, she receives a surprise.

Meanwhile, where the other Coordinators are practicing, everyone observes a Coordinator working with his {{p|Zigzagoon}} and another working with their {{p|Houndoom}}. May suggests to her mom that she show her all of her Pokémon that she caught. She shows all her captured Pokémon to Caroline, who comments on how good they are, showing particular fondness to {{p|Beautifly}} because of its elegance. Not wanting to be left out, Ash decides to continue training with his {{AP|Snorunt}} to perfect its {{m|Ice Beam}}, unfortunately freezing Ash in the process. Snorunt finds this very funny. {{TP|May|Munchlax}}, who was hiding behind May because of the wild Ice Beam, then spots another Trainer feeding Pokéblock to his {{p|Zigzagoon}} and swiftly moves over and intercepts the next block before the Zigzagoon could catch it. May apologizes, but the Trainer does not get angry, saying he has plenty of Pokéblock. [[Max]] then gives Munchlax some of May's Pink Surprise which promptly fills Munchlax up before it falls asleep. Caroline is not surprised, saying that the rumors of Munchlax's appetite must be true. May tells her that Munchlax also likes to run off so they have to keep a close eye on it all of the time. | Meanwhile, where the other Coordinators are practicing, everyone observes a Coordinator working with his {{p|Zigzagoon}} and another working with their {{p|Houndoom}}.

Meanwhile another figure makes an appearance with a {{p|Roselia}}, and May looks over and sees that it is [[Drew]]. May runs over and begins boasting about her skill as a Trainer. Drew, confident as ever, says that just saying something doesn't make it so. May gets annoyed and begins to yell at Drew, but she shuts up when Drew presents her with a rose. Drew then congratulates her on reaching the Grand Festival, but on her enthusiasm, he then goes on to say that enthusiasm cannot replace pure talent. May gets annoyed and looks about to yell at Drew before stopping herself, saying that Drew will change his tone when he sees her in the Grand Festival. | Meanwhile, another figure makes an appearance with a {{p|Roselia}}, and May looks over and sees that it is [[Drew]].

Just then [[Harley]] makes an appearance, and runs over to May. None of the group are happy to see him, especially not May. Caroline suggests that he is another one of May's friends that she met but Max explains to her that he was the one that cheated before and is not their friend. However Harley appears to have turned over a new leaf, and is very apologetic about his behavior in their last encounter. May is speechless, and Harley begs for forgiveness. May, a little confused, agrees to forgive Harley, who is overjoyed and May looks a little frightened at his intense manner. Max calls Harley a "weirdo" and Ash doesn't trust him, however Caroline seems to believe he is sincere. Harley then spots the red rose in May's hands and asks if it is from this young man, but when Drew is introduced Harley seems to recognize the name and begins giving him a lot of compliments, saying that Trainers are all gunning for him and saying he is the one to beat. Brock comments about Harley's behavior, saying that he is "laying it on a little thick". Harley is surprised that May has such powerful friends, but May says that they aren't really friends and that Drew mostly makes fun of her, however Harley doesn't believe it, saying that he wouldn't have given her a rose if that were the case. He then begins to suspect a love interest between May and Drew, and May gets very embarrassed. Harley laughs and appears satisfied that he was right, then taking a picture of Drew, who appears confused about the whole thing. Harley then says goodbye and May looks dumbstruck. Drew also leaves, having a disgusted look on his face and leaving May on her own in the road. May begins to protest to Drew but he gets too far away. May says that Harley speaks so much she isn't sure whether to believe him. Max supports her, saying that Harley is "as big a phoney as they come" and May agrees with him. As Harley is walking away from them, he says to himself that he will soon get his revenge on May. | Just then [[Harley]] makes an appearance, and runs over to May.
