Mulberry City: Difference between revisions

It was first mentioned in ''[[AG173|All That Glitters is not Golden!]]'', in which {{an|May}} learned that a [[Pokémon Contest]] was scheduled to take place there after seeing a poster advertising it on a restaurant. In ''[[AG174|New Plot, Odd Lot!]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived in Mulberry City.

The Mulberry Contest was the last one before the start of the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], so many of the contestants were competing for their fifth [[Ribbon]], including May. [[Harley]], due to having five Ribbons already, decided to help {{TRT}} defeat May by lending his {{TP|Harley|Cacturne}} and {{p|Banette}} to [[Jessie]], who was entered as "Jessebella".

In the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]], May used her {{TP|May|Combusken}} while Jessebella used Cacturne. The two managed to deliver performances that impressed the panel of judges, thus advancing to the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]], which took place in [[AG175|the next episode]]. They were able to defeat their opponents to reach the final round, where they battled one another. At the end of the five-minute time limit, the two had the same amount of points, and the battle had to go into {{wp|Sudden death (sport)|sudden-death overtime}}. Eventually, May defeated Jessebella and earned her fifth Ribbon, thus qualifying for the [[Grand Festival]].

During the competition, [[James]] and {{MTR}} trapped {{Ash}}, [[Max]], and {{an|Brock}} in a box, but they were freed by [[Drew]] and his {{p|Flygon}}.
