'''Purika City''' (Japanese: '''プリカシティ''' ''Purika City'') is an {{pkmn|anime}}-exclusive location in [[Hoenn]]. It is located in between [[Mossdeep City]] and [[Sootopolis City]], and on [[Izabe Island]]. Like many other {{cat|cities}} in the [[region]], it is home to a [[Contest Hall]]. It was featured in ''[[AG103|A Cacturne for the Worse]]''.


The most famous part of Purika City is its [[Pokémon contest]]s. Purika is where {{an|May}} and [[Harley]] {{pkmn|battle}}d each other for the first time, and where she first learned of his double-crossing ways. In fact, he tricked [[Max]] into telling him an embarrassing story about May. He secretly recorded it and played it back during the competition. However, May was able to bounce back and defeat Harley, winning her fourth [[ribbon]].
On board the boat to Purika City, {{an|May}} was {{pkmn|training|practicing}} with {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} for her next [[Pokémon Contest]] when she was approached by a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} named [[Harley]] and his {{TP|Harley|Cacturne}}. As Harley introduced himself, May scanned the {{pkmn|category|Cactus Pokémon}} with her [[Pokédex]] and said it was scary. Harley then offered her some cookies, and May said they weren't half bad. Later, Harley was seen [[Photography|taking a picture]] of May and sticking it in his scrapbook, drawing skulls and crossbones over the picture as he took offense at May for her thoughtless remarks.


Determined to get revenge, Harley tricked [[Max]] into telling him an embarrassing story about May and secretly recorded it. Later, both May and Harley entered the Purika Contest. During the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]], May had Bulbasaur using {{m|Razor Leaf}} before telling her to use {{m|Vine Whip}} to hit the leaves, while Harley commanded Cacturne to use {{m|Bullet Seed}} to draw skull and crossbones on the field. The two of them managed to impress [[Raoul Contesta|the]] [[Mr. Sukizo|three]] [[Nurse Joy|judges]] enough to proceed to the [[Contest Battle]]s.


{{Stub|Location}}
When the match-ups for the Battle Stage were announced, May discovered that she would be battling [[Kent]]. In an attempt to sabotage May, Harley told her that the Pokémon used by Kent, a {{p|Surskit}}, is slow in battle. Despite the bad advice, May was able to win the battle and advance to the final round, where she found herself up against Harley.
 
During their battle, Harley played the tape he had recorded earlier, leaving May mortified and making her lose focus. However, May was able to bounce back and concentrate on the match, commanding Bulbasaur to use a [[Contest combination|combination]] of {{m|Petal Dance}} and Razor Leaf to secure her victory. As a result, she was declared the winner of the competition and presented with the Purika [[Ribbon]], her fourth Contest Ribbon overall.
