A girl approaches Brock and picks up {{TP|Brock|Bonsly|Sudowoodo}}, calling it cute. She introduces herself as [[Yuma]], a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}. Brock reveals to her that he is also a breeder, but Yuma already noticed based on how he [[Pokémon training|raises]] his Pokémon and the food he feeds them. Brock sends out his other Pokémon and shows the [[Pokéblock]] that he feeds to his {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}}. Yuma seems impressed at Brock’s talent and asks if he enters contests, which he has not. Yuma reveals that she was also a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}, even winning the [[Grand Festival]]. She wants to pass her techniques on to others, mainly beginning coordinators. May asks Yuma to teach her some techniques, but Yuma mentions that May is already good enough. Brock immediately runs into the contest hall and returns with a [[Contest Pass]], entering into the Gardenia Contest.  

The contest begins with [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]] presenting the Gardenia Ribbon prize. Backstage, Brock feels nervous and excited at an official battle. The first round begins with Mollie sending out Raticate. It uses {{m|Hyper Fang}} to quickly grind a log into dust, shining its fangs and getting appeal. May opens with {{TP|May|Squirtle|Wartortle}}, using {{m|Rapid Spin}} to pulse dust waves. It follows up with {{m|Bubble}}, forming a pyramid before using {{m|Ice Beam}} to {{status|Freeze|freeze}} it, ending with a strong appeal.  

With one minute remaining, May orders Eevee to jump on top of the mound. Marshtomp fires Water Gun, but Eevee jumps and runs on the water to tackle Marshtomp, dropping Brock's points. Marshtomp hits the mounds with Water Gun as Eevee dodges and fires another Shadow Ball, hitting and lowering Brock’s points. Eevee rushes to Tackle, dodging Mud Shot attacks and landing a hit. Eevee uses Shadow Ball again, but Marshtomp’s Water Gun stops the attack. Time runs out, and May has more points than Brock, declaring her the winner. Brock praises Marshtomp as Lilian presents May with the Gardenia Ribbon.
