AG051: Difference between revisions

The last episode ended just as the {{to|Fallarbor}} {{g|Contest}} was about to start. It has started, and the coordinators are doing their display attacks. Drew is up, and he has Roselia use {{m|Petal Dance}}, which gets him a 9.9, a 9.8, and another 9.9, totaling 29.6. Next, Grace and her Medicham are up, and she displays a dramatic {{m|Hi Jump Kick}} with an intro pose, and totals a 29.5. Now, May is up, and her Beautifly brightens up the field with a {{m|Silver Wind}}, earning a total of 25.9. Ash, Brock, and Max cheer. Next, some strange familiar looking woman (to May at least) named Musashino is up. The ref calls her, but it takes a while, and then she comes dangling from the ceiling, descending… in the back, she’s being held by a rope held by a struggling James, Meowth, and Wobbuffet, so she is clearly Jessie…

Back on the stage, as expected, “Musashino” uses Dustox, and starts by having it zoom around with a {{m|Tackle}}. However, no one notices that it has a remote receiver on its back, and is really being controlled by Meowth backstage as he hears Jessie’s commands. Next, Jessie does a special trick: She holds out a piece of prism glass, has Dustox use {{m|Poison Sting}}, which hits the glass, causing a rainbow! Another {{m|Psybeam}} gets the whole field reflected by colors here and there.

This combination gets the crowd going, even May is a little impressed, but Drew looks rather suspicious. The three raters all give “Musashino” a 9.9, having her total 29.7! However, the ref then realizes that this is an illegal move, and Psybeam was never even used. It was just the rainbow reflecting on the glass that looked like a Psybeam. Disappointed, the judges lower their votes to 8.7, 8.6, and 8.5, lowering the total to 25.8. Later, after everyone finishes, it displays on the screen that “Musashino”, Drew, Grace, and May are the top 4 (Wow, who would have expected that!), and they’re gonna participate in the finals to battle! James and Meowth cheer for Jessie, as the rounds start.

First battle is May VS “Musashino”, Beautifly VS Dustox, timed for 5 minutes. Dustox begins with a Tackle, and Jessie commands a Rainbow with it, so Meowth pushes a button. Beautifly flies upward, dodging the Tackle, and sending out a {{m|String Shot}}. However, Dustox counters that with a Rainbow-{{m|Whirlwind}}, sending the string back at Beautifly, taking about 20% of its health! Now, Dustox does a Poison Sting, but Beautifly blows the spikes back at Dustox with a {{m|Gust}}, not only taking 20% of its health… but also causing some sparks to fly, revealing a hint of Meowth’s attached remote receiver! Next, Dustox tries another Rainbow Tackle, which Beautifly counters easily with Silver Wind, knocking Dustox back, and taking away another 30% of health, so Dustox is halfway down! Jessie then demands a Psybeam, but as Meowth hears this, when he tries activating the remote from backstage, nothing happens. Apparently the receiver was a bit damaged in the battle, so Jessie will have to battle on her own! While Jessie is busy worrying, Beautifly Tackles Dustox, fainting it and winning the battle.
