May is on the deck {{pkmn|training|practicing}} with her {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}}, trying to get its [[Move|attacks]] perfected before the Pokémon Contest. Bulbasaur uses {{m|Razor Leaf}}, and then follows it up with a {{m|Vine Whip}}. After the attack's finished, May seems pleased with Bulbasaur's performance. | ||

[[Jessie]] plans to use the Berries to make [[Pokéblock]]s, enabling them to make lots of money at the upcoming Contest. However, {{MTR}} has them stop the cart and says that they can't make Pokéblocks out of those particular Berries, and that Jessie had been fooled by the berry salesman. Jessie gets angry and tries to carry the cart up the hill by herself, but without the other two helping her, she's dragged downhill as James and Meowth watch. | ||
Back on the boat, May is approached by a purple-haired guy in a {{p|Cacturne}}-themed outfit. He introduces himself as [[Harley]] and May goes to look up his {{TP|Harley|Cacturne}} on her [[Pokédex]]. Harley seems offended that she had to look such a magnificent Pokémon up. After hearing what the Pokédex has to say about Cacturne, May comments that the Cactus Pokémon looks scary, which upsets Harley even further. However, Harley turns the other cheek and simply smiles as he offers May some cookies that he had made. May eats them and says that they're "not half bad", and Harley seems upset. May looks up to request one for her Bulbasaur, but Harley is nowhere to be seen! | Back on the boat, May is approached by a purple-haired guy in a {{p|Cacturne}}-themed outfit.

He secretly uses an {{wp|instant camera}} to [[Photography|take a picture]] of May and post it in some sort of scrapbook. Then, he draws a skull and crossbones over her picture! Harley can't believe the nerve of May, calling his precious Cacturne "scary" and whatnot. He decides to teach her a lesson. | ||
On the land, Team Rocket is trying to make some Pokéblocks. James has a {{p|Wobbuffet}}-shaped Berry Crusher, but the Pokéblocks aren't coming out well at all (instead of being little cubes, they look more like misshapen lumps). Meowth and James give up, saying that what they're doing is impossible, but Jessie yells at them and tells them that they don't have much time before the Contest starts. | On the land, Team Rocket is trying to make some Pokéblocks.

[[Vivian Meridian|Vivian]] makes the usual salutations and introduces the [[Contest Judge|panel of judges]], formed by [[Raoul Contesta]] from the [[Pokémon Activities Committee]], [[Mr. Sukizo]] from the [[Pokémon Fan Club]], and the [[Nurse Joy]] from the local [[Pokémon Center]]. Backstage, {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, and May are wondering where [[Max]] is. As the group worries, Max and Harley come running down the hall. May gets ready to berate her little brother, but Harley tells her not to be angry—he had just wanted to hear some stories from the little kid. May decides not to yell at Max just as her turn on the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]] comes up. | ||

As the leaves fly through the air, the Pokémon slaps them with its Vine Whip attack, impressing the Contest Judges. We don't get to see her actual score, but we assume that she gets high marks. The Contest continues, and we get to see different {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s (we see one with an {{p|Azurill}}, one with a {{p|Camerupt}}, one with a {{p|Tentacruel}}, and one with a {{p|Surskit}}) take the stage. | ||
The final Coordinator is contestant #30, Harley. Harley calls on his {{TP|Harley|Cacturne}}, which surprises the audience. Max repeats May's sentiments that the Pokémon is scary, and it seems that the rest of the audience agrees as well. Harley ignores their stunned gasps and decides to show them how great his Cacturne is. He orders it to use {{m|Bullet Seed}} on the ground, and as the Pokémon runs around the judges comment on its speed. After running around for a while, spitting seeds on the ground, Cacturne comes to a stop. From above, the audience can see that the Pokémon was using its Bullet Seed attack to draw a giant skull and crossbones on the stage! The judges are impressed, but Ash and his friends worry about May's competitor. | The final Coordinator is contestant #30, Harley.

The next battle in the semi-finals has begun! Surskit uses {{m|Double Team}} and follows it up with a {{m|Quick Attack}}, hitting May's Bulbasaur. It then uses {{m|Water Pulse}} followed by a Quick Attack, hitting Bulbasaur again. The {{t|Bug}} Pokémon moves in for a third attack, but Bulbasaur is able to counter with a Razor Leaf.

The time for this battle has run out, and May is declared the winner. Harley, who's been watching this match, is upset at her win. | ||
Without wasting any time, May and Harley take the stage for the final round. May asks Harley why he gave her that bad advice, and Harley admits how much he doesn't like her. He then tells her that Contests are serious, and May responds that she'll show him how serious she can be. May calls Bulbasaur while Harley calls Cacturne as the battle is under way. Cacturne starts off with a Poison Sting attack, but Bulbasaur is able to deflect them with its Vine Whip. Bulbasaur takes the offensive now as it uses Razor Leaf, but Cacturne is able to deflect those attacks with its Bullet Seed. May's Pokémon then uses Vine Whip, followed by a {{m|Tackle}} attack, to land a hit on Cacturne. The Cactus Pokémon is knocked down, and Harley screams out for his dear Pokémon. | Without wasting any time, May and Harley take the stage for the final round.

So the battle continues! After Bulbasaur recovers, it uses Razor Leaf, so Cacturne responds with the Poison Sting. It hits the [[starter Pokémon]], but Bulbasaur quickly retaliates with a Vine Whip attack, followed by Petal Dance. Cacturne is able to dodge all of it. | So the battle continues!

As Ash and the others cheer, May proudly holds up her new Ribbon. Harley quietly recalls his Cacturne and leaves the stage with only a "hmmpf." He ends by saying that he wants to face "Miss Tent" again someday. | ||
Later that night, Max apologizes for telling Harley that embarrassing story. May decides that she isn't angry, and she wonders what they should do next. The others say that Izabe Island is a big place, so everyone agrees that they should do some sightseeing for a bit. So, Ash and the others make their way through a forest to their next destination. | Later that night, Max apologizes for telling Harley that embarrassing story.
