Episode Plot

Drew, Grace and May have earned a lot of points, so they advance in next round. Jessica (disguised Jessie) arrives by floating to the ground (in truth Team Rocket drops her gently). She brings Dustox to performance. Dustox uses Tackle, but sparkles falls off Dustox (though it is a small item that drops the dust). Dustox uses Poison Sting, though Meowth activates a small machine, seeming that Dustox used a move, painting a picture of itself.. Dustox uses Whirlwind, though it seems that rainbow is produced. Jessica advances with 29.7 points. May, Drew, Grace and Jessica will advance to next round. Team Rocket is happy knowing that Jessie passed the round. May will battle Jessica in 5 minutes.

Jessica brings Dustox and May her Beautifly. Dustox uses Tackle, but Beautifly dodges the attack. Beautifly uses String Shot, but Dustox uses Whirlwind, redirecting the attack on Beautifly. Dustox attacks with Poison Sting, but Beautifly uses Gust, so the attack redirects to Dustox, damaging the machine under the tie. Dustox tackles, however Beautifly uses Silver Wind, knocking Dustox out. Dustox uses Psybeam, but Meowth cannot empower it to be in rainbow colors. Beautifly uses Tackle, knocking Dustox out. Jessica lost all her points, so May is the winner.

Jessie's Dustox has dropped the machine, everybody seeing it. Jessie uses a smoke ball, so James and Meowth appear to her as well. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, blasting them off. The battle of Drew and Grace begins - Drew brings Roselia while Grace her Medicham. Roselia uses Magical Leaf, but it misses due to Medicham's Meditate. Medicham uses Ice Punch, but Roselia evades. Roselia uses Petal Dance, but the attack is stopped by Confusion, so Medicham redirects the attack to Roselia. Roselia uses Solar Beam, though Medicham uses Ice Punch on the ground. Roselia fires, but Medicham has raised icy spikes, redirecting the attack back to Roselia. Medicham uses Meditate and Hi Jump Kick, hurting Roselia badly and defeating it.

So, May is going to battle Grace. May begins to wonder how will she defeat Medicham. So, the battle starts - May sends Beautifly while Grace her Medicham. Beautifly uses Tackle, though Medicham uses Meditate, evading the attack. Medicham uses Ice Punch, but is stopped due to Gust. Medicham uses Confusion on itself to reduce damage. Beautifly uses String Shot, but the attack is redirected to Beautifly due to Confusion. Medicham uses Ice Punch, freezing Beautifly.

Beautifly unfreezes itself. To finish, Medicham uses Meditate and Hi Jump Kick, but Beautifly dodges the attack and uses Silver Wind, so Medicham falls on its knee, hurting itself. Beautifly uses Tackle and String Shot, but Medicham uses Confusion, stopping the attack. Beautifly uses Silver Wind, making Medicham unable to use Confusion, so Beautifly tackles it. Medicham is tied by strings, so Beautifly uses Tackle, but Medicham frees itself, so Beautifly uses Silver Wind, making Medicham's hands immobile.

Grace has few points left and one minute needs to pass for May to win. Medicham uses High Jump, so Beautifly uses Tackle. Both Pokémon got hurt, but in the end, May wins the battle! May hugs Beautifly, thanking it for such battle. May gets the Fallarbor Town ribbon. Grace congratulates May for the victory. Before the night, the gang congratulates May. Drew appears, giving the rose to Beautifly and clarifying that if he'd battle May in first round, she wouldn't won. Ash is anxious too, as he needs to battle the next Gym leader.
