==Synopsis==
After all of the hard {{pkmn|training}} and earning ribbons, {{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.

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 the only one there to guard 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. May is greeted by a surprise guest - [[Caroline|her mom]]. Of course they should have expected her to come see this live, this is a pretty important moment. May asks her mom if [[Norman|her dad]] was going to be there but he couldn't make it simply because he's the only one to guard 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.
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 [[coordinators]] 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. A letter from [[Kelly]] of [[Lilycove City]]! You know, the one that taught her to make Pokéblocks. Then, Brock finds one from [[Savannah]] and her daughter [[Sandra]] from [[Rubello Town]]... as well as everyone else. [[Timmy Grimm|Timmy]] of {{to|Verdanturf}}, [[Dr. Abby|Abby]] from the Pokémon clinic, and even [[Janet]] and [[Chaz]] from all the way back in {{ci|Rustboro}} [[Contest Hall]]. They all couldn't make it in time for the festival this year, but they do remember May and are all supporting her.

Outside, {{TRT}} are pulling one of their old tricks again. They're disguised as [[Norman]] and his manager, and making autographs as usual. One kid is interested in an autograph though as he comes up, they start to say their motto, but don't give themselves away since the twerps aren't around yet. He's about to take out his autograph book, but they give a whole stack of posters that say he must attend a Pokémon counseling session just to get an autograph. As she is telling the kid this, {{TP|James|Chimecho}} and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} are going around with a sign to advertise the counseling session. He asks her if she is Norman's mother. Jessie yells at the boy for suggesting that, says she is his manager, and [[James]] has to restrain her. James tells the kids that if they come to the counseling session that he would give them plenty of advice on how to raise their Pokémon. The whole fan crowd is getting excited over Norman himself giving advice. {{TRM}} says that because they are all good Pokémon trainers, that they have a lot of strong Pokémon that Team Rocket can steal from them.

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.

May and the others go to the counseling session where James is assessing an {{p|Illumise}} and he suggests to take it and make it become stronger. Caroline says that Norman would never say anything like that which makes the supposed Norman a fake. Ash confronts them about who they really are. James says to Ash that he should be careful about who he is calling a faker and that he is real while May tells James that he is not her father. May has Beautifly use Silver Wind to reveal their true identities as Team Rocket. Team Rocket makes their get away in a helicopter-like machine. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} to break the machine and free all of the Pokémon. Beautifly uses Silver Wind to bring them back to the ground safely. All of the trainers thank Ash and May while saying that they are heroes for saving their Pokémon. Harley comments to May that Beautifly's Silver Wind is much better and getting stronger while May says that she now has more confidence in it and will rely on Silver Wind to breeze through the preliminary rounds. Drew has a worried expression on his face as he hears about May sticking to her plan to only use Silver Wind.

The Grand Festival begins with a Zigzagoon using {{m|Shadow Ball|}}, {{p|Milotic}} sparkling as it comes out of its {{ball|Poké}}, Drew's Roselia using {{m|Petal Dance}} while spinning, and Harley's {{p|Cacturne}} using {{m|Pin Missile}} for their performances. Harley reminds May to rely on her Beautifly's Silver Wind for the preliminary rounds, and she tells him that she will do it. May brings out Beautifly who sparkles brightly before using Silver Wind towards the sun which creates shiny sparkles falling to the ground. May receives an 88 score which was better than Harley's 84 and less than Drew's 95 score. Harley congratulates Drew and says that he knew that he would make it to the next round while Drew doesn't believe him. May's friends congratulate her on a job well done while Harley comes up to them and congratulates her as well, reminding her to keep using Silver Wind. May says she will continue using Silver Wind. The results are revealed showing that Drew is in third place, May in 48th place, and Harley also made it through.
