<i>May and friends arrive in Saffron City, where May is so excited about the upcoming Pokémon Contest that she heads straight for the Contest Hall. She sees people going in to check out the hall, so she goes inside too. On stage is a woman who looks suspiciously like Vivian from the Hoenn region, practicing with an Espeon. May's Squirtle gets so excited that it runs on stage. It turns out that the woman is actually Lillian, Vivian's younger sister. | |||
May takes her Pokémon to the Pokémon Center for a check-up, and is surprised to meet Nurse Joy's new assistant—Harley! Harley is overwhelmingly nice to May, and even tells her that she can switch Pokémon during the contest, which turns out to be true. Harley also tells her that she can register with her Hoenn Contest Pass until 11 the next day—which isn't true. But May believes him since he was telling the truth before. | |||
Meanwhile, a disguised Jessie registers for the Pokémon Contest, and asks James if she can borrow Cacnea. But when Jessie tries to form a bond with Cacnea, it ends up getting stuck in her hair and James and Meowth rush her to the Pokémon Center. At the PC, they get the idea to steal everyone else's Pokémon so Jessie can win by default. | |||
May and Ash begin to battle outside when James and Meowth fly over in their balloon and start snatching Pokémon. May ends up teaming up with Harley to free the Pokémon, and even more unexpected help comes from Squirtle, who uses a newly-learned Ice Beam to send the thieves blasting off. | |||
When May finally goes to register, she turns out to be too late. Luckily, Lillian happens to be walking by, and after hearing mention of May's heroics, the attendant lets her register for the contest.</i> | |||
==Plot== | |||
Another day and another adventure begins our story as {{an|May}} releases her three {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and begins her speech about the [[Kanto]] [[Pokémon Contest]]. {{TP|May|Munchlax}} and {{TP|May|Squirtle}} seem to not be that much interested in the Contest. They notice that there are already people in [[Saffron City|Saffron Hall]]. A boy with his {{p|Mankey}} tells them that it is open so that people can check out the stage. Inside of the hall, preparations are being made for the Contest just as May steps in. She is very exuberant and ecstatic about the Contest. The group notices the announcer in the middle of the stage and are unsure whether she is [[Vivian Meridian]] or not. As part of a rehearsal, the announcer steps up to the middle of the stadium and calls out her {{p|Espeon}}, whose magnificent coat shimmers under the stadium lights. She tells Espeon to use {{m|Swift}}, followed by a {{m|Psychic}} which causes the stars to form several rings. Espeon leaps and somersaults several times through the rings and gracefully lands on the stage. [[May's Squirtle]] becomes excited and rushes down to the center of the ring, whereupon it begins releasing {{m|bubble|bubbles}}. The announcer picks Squirtle up and hands it back to May, who apologizes. While in May's arms, Squirtle begins to cry. The announcer thinks that Squirtle wants to be on stage, which is confirmed by its sudden joy. May greets her familiarly, but the announcer says that they have not met before. May then reminds her who she thinks is Vivian that they've already met in [[Hoenn]], but the woman says that her name is [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]], Vivian's younger sister and the Contest emcee for [[Kanto]]. | Another day and another adventure begins our story as {{an|May}} releases her three {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and begins her speech about the [[Kanto]] [[Pokémon Contest]]. {{TP|May|Munchlax}} and {{TP|May|Squirtle}} seem to not be that much interested in the Contest.
