In ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]'', Mr. Contesta was unimpressed by [[May's Skitty]]'s performance in the main Appeals Round of the Hoenn Grand Festival. He commented that, by repeatedly using {{m|Assist}}, May was displaying the skills of {{cat|May's Pokémon|her other Pokémon}} rather than Skitty's talents. Despite that, the score he and the other judges gave May was enough to place her among the 32 Coordinators moving on to the [[Contest Battle]]s. | In ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]'', Mr. Contesta was unimpressed by [[May's Skitty]]'s performance in the main Appeals Round of the Hoenn Grand Festival.
