[[Harley]] starts his {{pkmn|battle}} with {{an|May}} by having his {{p|Banette}} use {{m|Screech}}, while his {{TP|Harley|Cacturne}} uses {{m|Bullet Seed}}. Both hit their marks and lower May's points. May has {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} attack with {{m|Vine Whip}}; Harley's Pokémon try to dodge it, but Bulbasaur grabs onto their legs. Beautifly then uses {{m|Silver Wind}} that lowers Harley's points. Bulbasaur releases its grip on Cacturne and Banette, which sends them both spinning. Beautifly whips up another Silver Wind, accelerating the spinning and leaving both of Harley's Pokémon dizzy. The dazzling combination earns high praise from the judges as Harley's points fall below half. May calls for Bulbasaur to use Vine Whip again, but Banette counters with {{m|Torment}}, halting the attack cold. {{Ash}} is confused why Bulbasaur stopped, leaving [[Max]] to explain that Torment blocks your opponent from using the same move twice in a row, leaving {{an|Brock}} to comment that May must now mix things up.

Cacturne fires {{m|Pin Missile}} at Bulbasaur, but Beautifly carries Bulbasaur high into the air, leaving Harley's attack a miss. Banette then fires {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, which manages to score a hit on both of May's Pokémon, but Bulbasaur uses {{m|Petal Dance}}, which combines with Will-O-Wisp to create sparkling dust all over the field, costing Harley more points. Cacturne retaliates with another Pin Missile which begins shredding the petals, but Bulbasaur and Beautifly are unharmed, and they retaliate with a Silver Wind and Razor Leaf combination that knocks out both Cacturne and Banette. Harley's points drop to zero as a result, and May moves on to the next stage. As he storms off in defeat, Harley tells [[Drew]] that he's probably happy to see him lose to May. Drew responds that May was just better than him, and Harley declares that he will be happy once he sees both of them lose.

Meanwhile, [[Jessie]] is still set on becoming [[Top Coordinator]] even without any [[Ribbon]]s. [[James]] suggests that {{ho|Robert}} is their best chance, and they watch as he steps outside before ambushing him with a rope cannon. Ash arrives and has {{AP|Pikachu}} use {{m|Thunderbolt}} to free Robert from the rope. {{TRT}} recites their {{motto}} before calling out {{TP|James|Cacnea}} and {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} to attack. {{AP|Snorunt}} tries to use {{m|Ice Beam}}. but it fails while everyone laughs at it. Robert gives Snorunt some encouragement and advises it to focus its energy in its head to be able to aim Ice Beam properly. Cacnea uses Pin Missile and Dustox uses {{m|Psybeam}} towards Pikachu, but Snorunt jumps in front to take the hit and evolves into {{p|Glalie}}. Ash scans Glalie with the [[Pokédex]]. James and Meowth are unsettled by Glalie's fierce glare, but Jessie oddly finds Glalie beautiful. Robert suggests to Ash to test out Glalie's Ice Beam. Glalie follows suit, using Ice Beam to freeze Team Rocket and send them blasting off. Jessie is angered that her dreams of becoming Top Coordinator have been shattered yet again, to which Meowth sarcastically replies that if she ''really'' wants something to be shattered to wait until they land.
