ASH "Come What May!"

VIVIAN Next up, we present contestant number .

Please welcome Jessica.

Jessica? Are you okay? The crowd is waiting.

- 'Ready or not!' - Huh?

[laughs]

[all gasp]

Wow! Is that even allowed?

That was remarkable.

MEOWTH Jessie should get an Academy Award for this performance.

JAMES If anyone's deserving of an award, it's us.

Ladies and gentlemen of the Pokémon Contest audience.

It's show time.

[APPEARING]

VIVIAN Now, there's an entrance for the Pokémon Contest history books.

Dear Dustox, use Tackle, now.

[TACKLE MOVE]

A Rainbow, please.

That's my cue.

[INTENT]

[gasps]

So that's a Rainbow.

Awesome! I've never seen that!

MAY It's beautiful.

Dustox, Poison Sting.

[POISON STING MOVE]

'And a Rainbow.'

MEOWTH Okay!

Yes! Ha!

VIVIAN 'Jessica and Dustox have actually painted a picture'

'with seven different colors of Poison Sting.'

'Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a perfect example'

'of true Pokémon Art.'

Follow up with Whirlwind.

[WHIRLWIND MOVE]

Rainbow!

Here's the big finish.

[INTENT]

Ha! Ha!

VIVIAN 'Oh, my!'

'Now, Jessica is being gently lifted'

'on a multi-colored Whirlwind.'

That's right, "Gently lifted" by my breaking back.

[STRUGGLING]

Wow.

GRACE I'm not sure how I feel

about a Pokémon being upstaged by its coordinator.

You ask me, she's got no class at all.

We turn to our judges.

Let's hear what they thought of that performance.

Take it away!

As close to perfect as I've ever seen.

Remarkable!

It was quite a unique performance.

VIVIAN '".."'

'WHY, that's the highest score in this contest yet.'

And why didn't I get a perfect score?

Only four contestants can go on to the second round, right, May?

Mm-hm.

Folks, we're down to the final contestant.

How many points did he score?

You've got . points I think.

Hopefully he didn't beat that.

VIVIAN 'A total of ..'

'And that means that these four contestants'

'will be competing in the second round.'

- May, you did it. - You're moving on to round two.

[HAPPY]

Cool! I made it! Yeah!

So we're finally going to have our names up in lights.

Just personal appearance fees alone will make us millionaires.

We'll build tons of secret bases.

JAMES/MEOWTH/JESSIE Promotions!

Huge expense accounts!

A Fan Club!

[ECSTATIC]

For round two, contestants will begin battling.

They will only have five minutes

to execute their attacks gracefully

and to take as many points from their opponent as possible.

Ladies and Gentlemen, direct your eyes

'towards stage one for match one.'

Showtime. Ha!

[PROUD]

Beautifly, you're...on!

[CONFIDENT]

Wow, this is gonna be a great match-up.

A battle between two Bug Pokémon.

Dustox, Tackle, now.

[TACKLE MOVE]

Rainbow!

VIVIAN 'Dustox shows off that seven-colored trail'

'with a beautiful Tackle.'

Beautifly! Dodge it!

BEAUTIFLY/DUSTOX [EXERTION]/[INTENSE]

VIVIAN 'Beautifly comes back with a narrow dodge.'

Beautifly, use String Shot!

[STRING SHOT MOVE]

- Whirlwind. - 'Yep.'

[WHIRLWIND MOVE]

[PAINED]

Beautifly!

That colorful Whirlwind hit its mark.

That's not good. May's losin' all her points.

Yeah, quickly too.

[CONCERNED]

Now, Dustox, Poison Sting with Rainbow.

One Rainbow comin' up.

[POISON STING MOVE]

Dustox tries to finish it up

with a seven-colored Poison Sting.

Quick, Gust Beautifly!

[GUST MOVE]

[WORRIED]

[PAINED]

Yeah, how'd you like that one?

Yeah, way to go!

She's doing great.

[EXCITED]

Dustox, Rainbow Tackle, let's go.

[RAINBOW TACKLE MOVE]

VIVIAN 'Will Dustox actually pull off'

'a seven-colored Tackle this time?'

Beautifly, Silver Wind!

[SILVER WIND MOVE]

[PAINED]

VIVIAN 'And the "Wind"'

'gets knocked out of Dustox.'

Beautifly, good job.

[PLEASED]

[groans] How dare you?

Dustox, use your strongest Psybeam!

Yep, your wish is my command.

Use Rainbow.

[PSYBEAM MOVE]

Meowth? Is something wrong?

It's got a glitch.

Beautifly, finish with Tackle, go.

[TACKLE MOVE]

[PAINED]

[Jessie screams]

VIVIAN 'Jessica and Dustox lost all their points.'

'Will May, please proceed to the final stage.'

You bet! Beautifly, we did it!

[JUBILANT]

Listen, Twerp, our battle has just begun.

[AGGRESSIVE]

Huh?

[gasps]

That's where the seven colors came from.

She cheated.

[crowd booing]

Can it! In the end you got a good show, didn't you?

You are disqualified and I insist you leave immediately.

- Ha! - 'What happened?'

JESSIE 'Prepare for trouble'

'what's happened is us.'

Making it double with all the fuss.

That's right! Of course.

Team Rocket!

[OUTRAGED]

- And my prize, please? - All your Pokémon.

We're taking 'em, now.

No you're not. Pikachu, Thunderbolt, now.

[DETERMINED]

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[screaming]

[screaming]

So much for being huge celebrities.

And so much for those personal appearances too.

At least, I'm ready for my close-up. Ha-ha!

- 'We're blasting off again!' - 'We're blasting off again!'

Uh, we're sorry about the little incident.

Now, back to May and Beautifly

'as they head over to the final stage.'

[crowd cheering]

Way to go, May.

[IMPRESSED]

VIVIAN Second match on stage one

'between Grace and Drew will now begin.'

Roselia, let's go.

[CONFIDENT]

Medicham, I choose you.

[DETERMINED]

Drew against Grace, that should be good.

Yeah, they're both pretty tough.

That's for sure. Good match-up.

[DETERMINED]

Hm..

[DETERMINED]

Hm..

[instrumental music]

Okay, so I'll battle the winner.

Let's go. Magical Leaf.

[MAGICAL LEAF MOVE]

Roselia's Magical Leaf is true elegance.

Medicham, Meditate.

[MEDITATE MOVE]

VIVIAN 'Medicham uses Meditate to dodge Roselia's Magical Leaf.'

Ice Punch, Medicham.

[ICE PUNCH MOVE]

VIVIAN 'And now comes back hard with an Ice Punch.'

Dodge it, Roselia.

[EXERTION]

VIVIAN 'Beautiful.'

'Roselia dodged that Ice Punch'

'without missing an elegant step.'

And now, Petal Dance, Roselia.

[PETAL DANCE MOVE]

A beautiful attack. It's Roselia's amazing Petal Dance.

Now, use Confusion.

[CONFUSION MOVE]

[ALARMED]

VIVIAN 'As though stopping time itself'

'Medicham puts an abrupt end to Roselia's Petal Dance.'

Now, send that Petal Dance right back.

[EXERTION]

[SHOCKED]/[PAINED]

VIVIAN 'Wow, Medicham used Petal Dance against Roselia.'

Roselia, Solar Beam.

[SOLAR BEAM MOVE]

Solar Beam now?

It's gonna take too much time to pull off that attack.

BROCK 'Guess he wants to turn this around with one attack.'

Medicham, Ice Punch at the ground.

[ICE PUNCH MOVE]

Wonder, why she'd launch an attack that way?

VIVIAN 'Would you look at that!'

'Medicham is pummeling the ground with an Ice Punch.'

[SOLAR BEAM MOVE]

[INTENT]

[ICE PUNCH MOVE]

[music continues]

[PAINED]

[all gasp]

Wonderful!

I've never seen a comeback like that.

Wow, remarkable!

Medicham, Meditate, then High Jump Kick.

[MEDITATE MOVE]

[HIGH JUMP KICK MOVE]

Whoa, Medicham's Combination Attack

flows as smooth as silk.

Combination Attack?

Roselia, quick. Try and dodge it.

Roselia's too worn out from that Solar Beam.

[HIGH JUMP KICK MOVE]

Watch out!

[SURPRISED]

[INTENT]

[HIGH JUMP KICK MOVE]

VIVIAN 'That High Jump Kick scored a direct hit.'

[WEAK]

DREW Roselia!

VIVIAN Is it able to continue battlin'?

[STUNNED]

VIVIAN 'Roselia cannot continue.'

It just didn't have anything left, huh?

[SYMPATHETIC]

Uh..

VIVIAN 'This match is over.'

'Will Grace and her Medicham'

'please proceed to the final stage.'

[cheering]

Medicham, you were great.

[PLEASED]

DREW 'Roselia, return.'

You were awesome, what a great show.

If she can beat Drew like that

then how will I beat her?

VIVIAN 'The Fallarbor chapter of the Pokémon Contest'

'is drawing to a close.'

VIVIAN Get ready for the Final Victory Battle.

[crowd cheering]

[thinking] Don't think for a second that I'll be holding back, May.

A battle is a battle.

[thinking] I've worked so hard to get to this point.

I will not lose.

It all comes down to this.

'Begin!'

Beautifly, let's go!

[EAGER]

Medicham, come on out.

[CONFIDENT]

Beautifly, Tackle, now!

[TACKLE MOVE]

VIVIAN 'Beautifly starts out with Tackle.'

Medicham, Meditate.

[MEDITATE MOVE]

BEAUTIFLY [SURPRISED]

Was that a dodge?

VIVIAN 'Amazing.'

'Medicham dodged that Tackle'

'without breaking Meditate.'

Medicham, use Ice Punch.

[ICE PUNCH MOVE]

Beautifly, Gust Attack.

[GUST MOVE]

[DISTRESSED]

VIVIAN 'Beautifly's Gust is right on target.'

Awesome, May.

Keep that up, they'll keep losing more points.

ASH 'Finish it, May.'

It's not over yet. No way.

Medicham, Confusion.

[CONFUSION MOVE]

Medicham is limiting

the number of points it can lose

by using Confusion on itself.

Not bad. What do you think, May?

Oh, man, we were so close.

Beautifly, use String Shot, now.

[STRING SHOT MOVE]

VIVIAN 'And Beautifly counters with String Shot.'

Medicham, Confusion!

[CONFUSION MOVE]

VIVIAN 'Medicham has stopped the String Shot just before it hit.'

And now, send it right back to Beautifly.

[CONFUSION MOVE]

[DISTRESSED]

VIVIAN 'Medicham's Confusion worked.'

'Beautifly's all tangled up in those threads.'

May, let me know what you think of that defense?

Beautifly, hang in there.

[AGITATED]

VIVIAN 'Beautifly can't break free'

'of those strings.'

Alright, Ice Punch, go!

[ICE PUNCH MOVE]

[PAINED]

Beautifly!

VIVIAN 'It's another direct hit with that Ice Punch.'

That Ice Punch Attack was as sparkly as the ice.

Wonderful!

Truly remarkable!

Break free, come on!

[STRUGGLING]

[TRIUMPHANT]

That's the way. Good job!

[DETERMINED]

Time to finish up. Medicham, use Meditate.

[MEDITATE MOVE]

And then High Jump Kick.

[MEDITATE MOVE]

BEAUTIFLY [ALERT]

[HIGH JUMP KICK MOVE]

If that hits, it's over.

Okay, now, dodge it!

[EXERTION]

Silver Wind. Let's go, Beautifly.

[SILVER WIND MOVE]

[PAINED]

[EXERTION]

Oh, no.

A Silver Wind bull's-eye.

Since Medicham's High Jump Kick was dodged

'Medicham has just lost some serious points.'

It's interesting how Medicham took even more damage

when its High Jump Kick was dodged.

Here's our chance! Beautifly, use Tackle.

[TACKLE MOVE]

Then use String Shot.

[STRING SHOT MOVE]

VIVIAN 'Beautifly launches into a Tackle'

'and String Shot combination.'

Awesome, May must have learned that watching Grace's strategy.

Medicham, Confusion.

[CONFUSION MOVE]

VIVIAN Once again Medicham's Confusion is stopping the String.

Beautifly, Silver Wind.

[SILVER WIND MOVE]

VIVIAN 'That little spin Beautifly took'

'has turned into a Silver tornado.'

MAY 'Tackle Attack now, Beautifly.'

[TACKLE MOVE]

[DISTRESSED]

VIVIAN 'Beautifly is pulling off yet another'

'perfect attack combination.'

MEDICHAM [EXHAUSTED]

Darn it, Medicham hasn't recovered

from when they dodged the High Jump Kick.

Now, we can finish this up. Beautifly, Tackle.

[TACKLE MOVE]

Don't think you'll get away with that twice.

Medicham, dodge.

[DETERMINED]

Silver Wind!

[SILVER WIND MOVE]

[SURPRISED]

VIVIAN 'Ladies and Gentlemen, it looks like Beautifly's attack'

'combination has completely immobilized Medicham.'

[SILVER WIND MOVE]

VIVIAN 'That combination of Tackle and Silver Wind'

'creates one intense attack.'

Gorgeous technique.

That combination was impeccable.

Yes,and remarkable too.

VIVIAN 'There's less than a minute left on the clock.'

Oh, man, May's going to win. Come on, clock, run out.

Oh, this battle's just begun.

Medicham, turn it around with High Jump Kick.

[HIGH JUMP KICK MOVE]

Best defense is a good offense.

Beautifly, Tackle, go.

VIVIAN 'Beautifly is coming head-on with a Tackle Attack.'

[DETERMINED]

[HIGH JUMP KICK MOVE]

[TACKLE MOVE]

VIVIAN 'Unbelievable! A head to head collision!

[PAINED]

Our time is up. So, who is our winner?

- May won! - May won!

Way to go!

[ECSTATIC]

And that's that!

The winner of this year's Fallarbor Pokémon Contest

May, you did it!

[crowd cheering]

Wow! We won. We beat Grace.

[AMAZED]

[gasps]

Beautifly. It's because of you.

I love you. You're just the best.

[PLEASED]

VIVIAN We now present our champions

Alright, this Fallarbor Ribbon is mine.

[JUBILANT]

Thank you, Grace.

It's true. I'm impressed.

That's so nice. Thanks.

But, I owe my victory all to you.

Huh?

[laughs]

To me? What are you talkin' about?

You fought. You won.

Try to have a little bit more confidence, okay?

Okay.

[instrumental music]

ASH You got your first ribbon, May.

MAX We're really proud of you.

BROCK Congratulations.

MAY That's so nice, thank you.

- 'Well, you did it, May.' - Huh?

Of course, if you had been competing against me

in the first round

things might have ended up a whole lot different.

Hm.

I suppose this rose is for Beautifly, right?

Hmph. Yeah. Something like that.

Hm, that guy's still as stuck up as ever.

I'll tell you one thing, I am totally psyched.

And ready for my next badge!

[EXCITED]

I hear you, Ash. I'm psyched too for my next contest.

NARRATOR Now that May and Beautifly have emerged victorious
