With the battle joined in earnest, Savannah orders Lairon to use {{m|Take Down}}. May calls for Bulbasaur to dodge, but it freezes before the bright lights and unfamiliar stage -- possibly compounded by May's anger. Bulbasaur takes the attack head on. May orders a counter-attack with {{m|Vine Whip}}, which Bulbasaur supplies, but Lairon counters with a surprise and electric-type {{m|Shock Wave}}, which traces the Vine Whip and shocks Bulbasaur. Sandra reveals, at this point, that she was also the architect of the Shock Wave combo and that because of Vine Whip's direct contact, Lairon paralyzed Bulbasaur. Savannah orders a coup de grace with {{m|Metal Claw}}, which makes contact and causes the judges to call the battle against Bulbasaur. May declares that she's not done, but the judges rebuke her harshly, declaring that she has disregarded the well-being of her Bulbasaur. May has lost the battle (thus receiving her tragic downfall, as episode's title might have implied), and Savannah continues to the finals. | With the battle joined in earnest, Savannah orders Lairon to use {{m|Take Down}}.

In the next scene, May is outside tending to her Bulbasaur. She is soon joined by Ash and Pikachu, who invite her inside to watch the final round. Ash tells May that everyone gets carried away with wanting to win sometimes, and that the most important fact of battling, Contest or Gym, is that Trainer and Pokémon must be in sync to succeed. Meanwhile, Drew and Savannah are fighting fiercely. In the final seconds of the match, Drew scores an unavenged hit with Hidden Power -- and time expires before Savannah can counter with a Shock Wave.

Elsewhere, Team Rocket is having trouble selling their carefully crafted Ribbons, and in the greatest irony, the stranger who purchase one earlier asks if she can return hers. | Elsewhere, Team Rocket is having trouble selling their carefully crafted Ribbons, and in the greatest irony, the stranger who purchase one earlier asks if she can return hers. | ||

The episode ends with Ash and company, Savannah, and Sandra sitting around a table. Savannah declares that though she wanted the Contest Ribbon today, she didn't want it so badly that she took her existing Ribbon for granted. May realizes that she did exactly that -- take her other Ribbons for granted in her pursuit of yet another, and vows she never will do so again. In the end, May learned something from Savannah (rather than the reverse) and the narrator concludes that for May this defeat was a learning experience. | The episode ends with Ash and company, Savannah, and Sandra sitting around a table.
