AG035: Difference between revisions

The episode starts off with {{an|May}} running towards the [[Contest Hall]] with {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, [[Max]] and {{an|Brock}} following her. May runs into the Contest Hall relieved to find out that she has just made the cutoff time to sign up. They then find out that they have three hours until the Contest and Brock asks what they should do. Ash says that they should eat because he is hungry after the run. After they leave [[Jessie]] and [[James]] walk in and perform their motto. The lady then informs them that they have just missed the sign up time, much to Jessie's disappointment. Jessie, James and {{MTR}} walk outside and wonder what to do. As they are sitting there they see a male Trainer and his {{p|Poochyena}} training. The male Trainer then gives his Poochyena some [[Pokéblocks]] giving {{TRT}} the idea to sell Pokéblocks.

The Contest is about to start as [[Vivian Meridian|Vivian]] walks out onto stage. She presents the Slateport Ribbon and gets the Contest under way. May is in the back, and her nerves are beginning to get to her. Ash, Max and Brock comfort her as [[Drew]] smiles from around the corner.

The coordinators begin to compete and then it is Drew's turn. He tells his {{TP|Drew|Roselia|Roserade}} to use {{m|Petal Dance}} and then {{m|Stun Spore}} as Vivian comments on how beautiful it is. Drew earns a 29.4, the highest score so far that day.

Back at the arena, Drew walks over and begins to talk to May. They are interrupted by {{ho|Robert}} as he and his {{p|Milotic}} begin to perform. Max comments that many say that Milotic is the most beautiful Pokémon and Brock agrees. Milotic uses {{m|Safeguard}} and glows a beautiful green. May is now next. She walks out onto the stage nervously. Vivian announces that this is her first Contest. May gets ready to release {{TP|May|Beautifly}} but falls. Vivian asks if she is alright and May replies yes, getting to her feet and releasing Beautifly. May throws the frisbee and Beautifly uses {{m|String Shot}} and hits it back. They go really well until the last one where May almost drops it after Beautifly uses {{m|Gust}}. May then tells Beautifly to spin and use {{m|Silver Wind}} creating a Silver Wind tornado. Drew is impressed and May earns a 24.9 much to her disappointment. May walks backstage and Drew hands her a rose, causing her to blush, until he explains that it is for Beautifly and not her, saying that she still has a lot of training to do.

She and Drew watch as the eight coordinators moving on to the second round are revealed, including May, Drew and Robert. Brock worries that May has not had enough experience battling. May and Drew are facing each other as the second round matchups begin. May sends out Beautifly and Drew sends out Roselia as the battle begins. Drew has Roselia use Magical Leaf and Beautifly counters with Gust. The attack hits Beautifly, injuring it. Roselia uses Stun Spore but it doesn't affect Beautifly. Beautifly sends out String Shot but it is reflected by Roselia's Magical Leaf. May orders Silver Wind but it is reflected by Petal Dance. Drew then orders {{m|SolarBeam}} and May desperately tries to reflect it with String Shot, but it hits Beautifly, severely injuring it. With only half the time up, the judges call the battle off. Drew is the winner and moves on to the next stage, much to the disappointment for May and her friends. May is backstage crying as Ash and friends try to comfort her.
