It’s Contest Day in [[Rubello Town]] -- and the episode opens with Jessie being kicked out the Pokémon Contest for trying to enter with a fake, comically large ribbon -- quashing her dream of entering this Pokémon contest. Inside the contest center, {{an|May}} and [[Savannah]] watch [[Vivian Meridian|Vivian]] kick off the festivities. May is as determined as ever to win, and with her victories in {{to|Fallarbor}} and [[Verdanturf Town]] she is extremely confident and calm, while Savannah is still suffering from a bad case of nerves. Drew is also waiting backstage, and he smirks as May gives advice to Savannah. Meanwhile, outside, a stranger asks if she can purchase Jessie's fake ribbon as a decoration for her {{p|Azurill}}. Jessie gains a steely glint in her eye and what's worse -- an idea.

Back inside the competition center, May and {{TP|May|Beautifly}} take the stage and open with a {{m|Morning Sun}} technique, followed by {{m|Silver Wind}}. The MFP cheer May on, and Savannah later complements May for her good work, remarking that she hopes she can do as well herself (scores at not shown). Savannah starts off to a rocky start, missing her cue, but she makes up for her mistake quickly. Savannah elects to start with her {{p|Flareon}}, which uses a {{m|Fire Spin}} attack to create flaming hoops which it then tackles through. Savannah follows those theatrics with a combination {{m|Swift}} and {{m|Ember}}, turning the Swift stars red. Offstage, Sandra claims that the maneuver was her idea. After Savannah yields the stage, May compliments her but remarks that after winning a few ribbons, winning becomes easy. Drew scoffs at her hubris, and advises her to forget what she's won and concentrate on the future -- a remark that May doesn't understand. Before he can explain, Drew is called to take the stage. He starts with his {{TP|Drew|Roselia}}, which bursts from its Poké Ball with an explosion of flower petals. Drew snaps his fingers and Roselia appears (the MFP go wild), and Savannah remarks backstage that Drew is amazing. May is less impressed.

...Meanwhile, Team Rocket has started manufacturing bows like Jessie's earlier adornment, apparently having developed a temporary taste for legitimate business. However, Jessie is demanding perfection in the workmanship, which neither James nor Meowth (nor Wobbuffet) seem able to give.
