The kids are at Teracotta Town, where May and Max will catch a boat back home to Hoenn. The town happens to be hosting a festival, complete with its very own Pokemon Contest. Ash figures it's unofficial, so he wants to compete. Both Ash and May sign up, with Ash using Pikachu and Sceptile, and May using her Eevee and Combusken.
 +
May and Max are ready to depart to Hoenn. What remains is to get a boat that should take them there. Brock and Ash have similar ideas to get back to home. As they wander before the boat comes, May sees an advertisement of a Pokémon Contest, which is today. May thinks about participating, since it is unofficial, and unusually, Ash wants to enter as well. Inside the building, Ash and May fill in papers for the Contest. Ash decides to use Pikachu and Sceptile, while May her Eevee and Combusken. Team Rocket sees many Pokémon and will capture them.
  +
  +
The Contest is about to begin. Nurse Joy tells the winner will get Teracotta City Contest ribbon. She wishes luck to the Contestants. First is May, who is known as the Top Four Contestant of Kanto Grand Festival. May sends Eevee, who digs. Next, Eevee uses Shadow Ball, making the balls come out of the hole and make fireworks. After some performances, it is Ash's turn. Pikachu uses Quick Attack and combines with Thunderbolt, making a circle. With the Iron Tail, the circle is moving around and with another Iron Tail, it splits to three circles. The audience, including May, are impressed. Next, the screen displays the two Contestants to battle with each other. They are May and Ash.
  +
  +
Later, Ash and May brag who will get out with the ribbon. Sceptile and Combusken see each other with a rivalry gleam in their eyes. Suddenly, they hear something - a hip comes and the food comes out of it. Team Rocket gives them food to attract them, then fire a net to capture them all. Team Rocket takes their disguises off and fire another net, getting Pikachu as well. Jessie wants all the Pokémon that were left out, even if Meowth and James hesitate. Combusken uses Mega Kick, freeing the Pokémon that were captured. Sceptile uses Pound to get them out of the ship. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, electrocuting them and May orders Combusken to use Fire Spin, but Combusken feels ill. However, it is no sickness - Combusken evolves to a Blaziken!
  +
  +
Team Rocket fires another net, but Blaziken cuts it and uses Blaze Kick. With this, Blaziken blasts them off. May hugs Blaziken for such prowess. Now, it is definitive that Ash has to battle a powerful Pokémon. Inside the building, the battle is about to begin. Ash and May tell each other they need to give their best and wish good luck. They send their Pokémon - Sceptile and Blaziken. Sceptile starts with Pound, though it does not make much damage. Sceptile uses Bullet Seed, but Blaziken dodges. Sceptile uses Leaf Blade, but Blaziken evades. Sceptile chases Blaziken, who gets to an end and gets pounded. Sceptile uses Bullet Seed, though it is countered by Fire Spin and gets hit. Blaziken uses Sky Uppercut, though Sceptile dodges.
  +
  +
Sceptile uses Leaf Blade, hitting Blaziken and pounds it. Sceptile uses Bullet Seed, pushing Blaziken, then pounds it. Sceptile uses Leaf Blade, but misses. Blaziken retaliates with Sky Uppercut, so Sceptile counters it with Leaf Blade. Blaziken uses Blaze Kick, so Sceptile stops it by pounding. Both Pokémon are exhausted, but will continue to battle. Suddenly, Sceptile glows, as its ability Overgrowth kicks in. Blaziken glows as well, but is has the Blaze ability. Sceptile charges with Leaf Blade and gets countered by Sky Uppercut. Sceptile uses Pound and Blaziken Blaze Kick, countering the moves. They use their most powerful moves - Blaziken uses Overheat and Sceptile fires a SolarBeam and an explosion is made, covering the field with smoke. Time is up, but the screen is covered in smoke and everyone anticipates the result of this heated battle.

Between rounds, Team Rocket shows up in a parade float, tossing Pokemon food out, so they can lure the Trainers' Pokemon into a net. Sceptile frees the Pokemon from the net and Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, but Combusken seems to be ill and can't attack. Just then, it evolves into Blaziken and uses Blaze Kick to send Team Rocket packing.

The contest resumes, and Ash and May shake hands and start the battle. When Blaziken dodges all of Sceptile's attacks, Ash starts to lose points. He finally connects with Pound, but Blaziken returns with Fire Spin. The two Pokemon begin to lose points at roughly the same rate. Eventually both Pokemon are weakened and Sceptile's Ability Overgrow kicks in. Blaziken's Ability Blaze also appears and the two commence their battle. Eventually Blaziken fires Overheat and Sceptile responds with SolarBeam, with the two attacks colliding. The results of this attack will determine the outcome of the match, but no one can see the scoreboard, now obscured by a thick cloud of smoke.

Plot

May and Max are ready to depart to Hoenn. What remains is to get a boat that should take them there. Brock and Ash have similar ideas to get back to home. As they wander before the boat comes, May sees an advertisement of a Pokémon Contest, which is today. May thinks about participating, since it is unofficial, and unusually, Ash wants to enter as well. Inside the building, Ash and May fill in papers for the Contest. Ash decides to use Pikachu and Sceptile, while May her Eevee and Combusken. Team Rocket sees many Pokémon and will capture them.

The Contest is about to begin. Nurse Joy tells the winner will get Teracotta City Contest ribbon. She wishes luck to the Contestants. First is May, who is known as the Top Four Contestant of Kanto Grand Festival. May sends Eevee, who digs. Next, Eevee uses Shadow Ball, making the balls come out of the hole and make fireworks. After some performances, it is Ash's turn. Pikachu uses Quick Attack and combines with Thunderbolt, making a circle. With the Iron Tail, the circle is moving around and with another Iron Tail, it splits to three circles. The audience, including May, are impressed. Next, the screen displays the two Contestants to battle with each other. They are May and Ash.

Later, Ash and May brag who will get out with the ribbon. Sceptile and Combusken see each other with a rivalry gleam in their eyes. Suddenly, they hear something - a hip comes and the food comes out of it. Team Rocket gives them food to attract them, then fire a net to capture them all. Team Rocket takes their disguises off and fire another net, getting Pikachu as well. Jessie wants all the Pokémon that were left out, even if Meowth and James hesitate. Combusken uses Mega Kick, freeing the Pokémon that were captured. Sceptile uses Pound to get them out of the ship. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, electrocuting them and May orders Combusken to use Fire Spin, but Combusken feels ill. However, it is no sickness - Combusken evolves to a Blaziken!

Team Rocket fires another net, but Blaziken cuts it and uses Blaze Kick. With this, Blaziken blasts them off. May hugs Blaziken for such prowess. Now, it is definitive that Ash has to battle a powerful Pokémon. Inside the building, the battle is about to begin. Ash and May tell each other they need to give their best and wish good luck.

Blaziken uses Sky Uppercut, though Sceptile dodges.

Sceptile uses Leaf Blade, hitting Blaziken and pounds it. Sceptile uses Bullet Seed, pushing Blaziken, then pounds it. Sceptile uses Leaf Blade, but misses. Blaziken retaliates with Sky Uppercut, so Sceptile counters it with Leaf Blade. Blaziken uses Blaze Kick, so Sceptile stops it by pounding. Both Pokémon are exhausted, but will continue to battle. Suddenly, Sceptile glows, as its ability Overgrowth kicks in. Blaziken glows as well, but is has the Blaze ability. Sceptile charges with Leaf Blade and gets countered by Sky Uppercut.

Time is up, but the screen is covered in smoke and everyone anticipates the result of this heated battle.
