| The crowd grows louder as [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]] introduces the tournament bracket depicting the eight [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s who advanced to the [[Contest Battle]]s. Jessie is located at the far left of the bracket while May is located at the far right leaving an opportunity for May and Jessie to meet in the final round.
| | [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]] unveils the [[Mulberry City]] [[Contest Battle]] match ups, including {{an|May}} and [[Jessie]]. Backstage, "Jessibella" confronts May, almost revealing that [[Harley]] Is helping her to win. [[Drew]] walks down a corresponding corridor and happens to overhear May's conversation. {{Ash}}, [[Max]] and {{an|Brock}} wish May luck and exit the room as Drew moves backwards out of sight. The boys are approaches by [[James]] and {{MTR}} disguised as Contest attendants, who reveals that Ash received a call from home. They lead Ash and the others into a room, locking the door behind them to stop them from interfering with Jessie's Contest-winning scheme. {{MTR}} presses a button on his remote, causing the corresponding walls to collapse and reveal a steel box and balloon attached to the top. The balloon begins to inflate with air lifting the boys high into the atmosphere. James radios in to Harley, declaring the ploy a success. |

| Meanwhile, May examines the screen viewing the bracket as Jessie arrives onto the scene. When May asks her about her Pokémon, Jessie accidentally releases [[Harley]]'s name but is quick to correct her problem and walks off into the distance. [[Drew]] walks down a corresponding corridor and happens to overhear May's conversation. {{Ash}}, [[Max]] and {{an|Brock}} wish May luck and exit the room as Drew moves backwards out of sight.
| | Jessie's round is already underway as {{TP|Harley|Banette}} shocks the competition with a devastating {{m|Thunder}} to its opponent {{p|Noctowl}}. After a few moments, Noctowl is defeated and Jessie moves into the next round. Meanwhile, Ash orders {{AP|Pikachu}} use a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but the attack only reflects off the surface, narrowly missing the boys. The metallic prison begins experience turbulence as an airborne {{p|Flygon}} directs the steel box to the ground with a {{m|Sandstorm}}. After a few moments, the box finally crashes onto the ground creating a giant plume of smoke and dust. The doors of the steel box begin to melt and finally collapse as Drew returns Flygon to its Poké Ball. Ash, Max, and Brock are stunned with the sight of Drew. |

| Two personnel, including a man and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, arrive and direct Ash and everyone towards the {{pkmn|Contest}}. Contest preparations are finalized as Lilian begins the Contest. Jessie rotates a solitary {{i|Poké Ball}} into the atmosphere, sending out {{p|Banette}}. [[James]], who is disguised, opens a door and directs our heroes inside. As Ash, Max, and Brock disperse into the darkness, James closes the door and locks them inside.
| | With a quick rotation of her hand, May releases {{TP|May|Squirtle}} with a flash of light. May's opponent doesn't hesitate to begin the battle with his {{p|Skarmory}} and its {{m|Steel Wing}} attack. As its wings glow a majestic color and begins its descent, Squirtle {{m|Withdraw}}s and begins {{m|Rapid Spin|rotating at a high speed}} clashing with Skarmory. Squirtle continues to attack with an {{m|Ice Beam}}, but Skarmory manages to evade the attack. Squirtle follows up with a {{m|Bubble}} attack as Skarmory attempts to counter with {{m|Swift}}. The countdown timer expires, and with the most points remaining, May advances to the next round. |
