{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived in Pacifidlog Town in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]'', where they met up with [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s [[Erica]] and {{OBP|Joshua|Coordinator}}.

In the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]], Jessie had {{MTR}} using {{m|Fury Swipes}} to make a sculpture of {{an|Giovanni}} and himself out of a giant block of ice, impressing the crowd. Joshua showcased his {{p|Houndoom}}'s talents with a [[Contest combination|combination]] of {{m|Shadow Ball}} and {{m|Swift}}, whereas Erica displayed her {{p|Jynx}}'s psychic powers by combining {{m|Blizzard}} and {{m|Psychic}}. May also made use of Blizzard, having {{TP|May|Skitty}} using the [[move]] to freeze the {{m|Razor Leaf}} she got from {{m|Assist}} before {{m|DoubleSlap}}ping the leaves to shower the stage in sparkling crystal. With that, they all were able to advance to the [[Contest Battle]]s, which took place in [[AG116|the following episode]]. | In the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]], Jessie had {{MTR}} using {{m|Fury Swipes}} to make a sculpture of {{an|Giovanni}} and himself out of a giant block of ice, impressing the crowd.

The first match of the second round put Jessie against Erica. The battle ended rather quickly as Jessie was disqualified for cheating, giving Erica a free pass to the Contest finals. The battle between May and Joshua, on the other hand, was a hard fought one. It ended with an explosion caused by the clash of May's Skitty's Blizzard and Joshua's Houndoom's {{m|Flamethrower}}. Having won this battle, May advanced to the final round, where she faced Erica. She had a little trouble dealing with Jynx's {{m|Psychic}} attack, but got the win after Skitty's Assist became {{m|Fire Spin}} and knocked Jynx out. This victory gave May her fifth Contest Ribbon, allowing her to enter the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]]. | The first match of the second round put Jessie against Erica.

* There is a possibility that Pacifidlog's concept was inspired by the [[Pokédex]] entry for {{p|Corsola}} in {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver|s}}, which states that, in a south sea nation, the people live in communities that are built on groups of these Pokémon. Despite this, Corsola cannot be encountered here. Instead, an NPC Trainer in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} and {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} will [[trade]] a Corsola for a {{p|Bellossom}}. | |||
