(Japanese: イザベ島ポケモンコンテスト！ライバルに気をつけろ!! ) is episode 103 of Advanced Generation. It was first broadcast in Japan on November 18, 2004.
Synopsis
The episode starts with the gang on the boat to Izabe Island. May is on the deck practicing with her Bulbasaur, trying to get its attacks finalized before the big Contest. Bulbasaur uses Razor Leaf, and then follows it up with a Vine Whip. After the attack's finished, May seems pleased with Bulbasaur's performance.
Elsewhere, on Izabe Island, we see Team Rocket pulling a large cart full of Berries up a steep hill. Jessie plans to use the Berries to make Pokeblocks, enabling them to make lots of money at the upcoming Contest. However, Meowth has them stop the cart and says that they can't make Pokeblocks out of those particular Berries (they look like green Tamato Berries; possibly Durin Berries?). Jessie gets angry and tries to carry the cart up the hill by herself, but without the other two helping her, she's dragged downhill as James and Meowth watch.
Back on the boat, May is approached by a guy in a Cacturne-themed outfit. The purple-haired man, who introduces himself as Harley, is a Cacturne trainer who also competes in Pokémon Contests. May goes to look up the Cacturne on her Pokémon Zukan, and Harley seems offended that she had to look such a magnificent Pokémon up. After hearing what the Zukan has to say about Cacturne, May comments that the cactus Pokémon looks scary, which upsets Harley even further. However, Harley turns the other cheek and simply smiles as he offers May some cookies that he had made. May eats them and says that they're "sorta tasty", and Harley seems upset at the word "sorta". May looks up to thank Harley, but Harley seems to have vanished from sight!
The camera then pans over to a nearby wall, where Harley is seen hiding. He secretly takes a Polaroid picture of May and posts it in some sort of scrapbook. Then, he draws a skull and crossbones over her picture! Harley can't believe the nerve of May, calling his precious Cacturne "scary" and whatnot. He decides to teach her a lesson.
On the land, Team Rocket is trying to make some Pokéblocks. James has a Wobbuffet-shaped Berry Crusher, but the Pokéblocks aren't coming out good at all (instead of being little cubes, they look more like misshapen lumps). Meowth and James give up, saying that what they're doing is impossible, but Jessie yells at them and tells them that they don't have much time before the Contest starts.
Speaking of the Contest, the Izabe Island Pokémon Contest's opening ceremony has begun! As Vivian makes the usual salutations, Ash, Brock, and May are backstage, wondering where Max is. As the group worries, Max and Harley come running down the hall. May gets ready to berate her little brother, but Harley tells her not to be angry—he had just wanted to hear some stories from the little kid. May decides not to yell at Max just as her turn comes up.
Entry #17, May! May calls on her Bulbasaur, who starts things off by using Razor Leaf. As the leaves fly through the air, the Pokémon slaps them with its Vine Whip attack, impressing the judges. We don't get to see her actual score, but we assume that she gets high marks. The Contest continues, and we get to see different Coordinators (we see one with a Azurill, one with a Camerupt, one with a Tentacruel, and one with an Masquerain) take the stage.
The final Coordinator is contestant #30, Harley. Harley calls on his Cacturne, which surprises the audience. Max repeats May's sentiments that the Pokémon is scary, and it seems that the rest of the audience agrees as well. Harley ignores their stunned gasps and decides to show them how great his Cacturne is. He orders it to use Bullet Seed on the ground, and as the pokemon runs around the judges comment on its speed. After running around for a while, spitting seeds on the ground, Cacturne comes to a stop. From above, the audience can see that the Pokémon was using its Bullet Seed attack to draw a giant skull and crossbones on the stage! The judges are impressed, but Ash and his friends worry about May's competitor.
Backstage, May nervously awaits the announcement of the Top Four. She doesn't have to wait too long, as the Top Four are announced as being May, Harley, Kent (the Masquerain trainer), and the trainer with a Azurill. In the auditorium, Brock seems worried, as he believes that Harley will be a difficult person to beat. Backstage (again), Harley seems upset that May could make it to the Top Four.
The semi-finals are now underway! Harley and Cacturne are up against a trainer and his Azurill. The Azurill spits out a ballet of bubbles and then bounces from bubble to bubble, causing May to comment on how cute it is. Cacturne responds with a Pin Missile attack that pops all the bubbles. Cacturne then hits the water Pokémon with its Bullet Seed attack, causing it to faint. It's a Battle Off! for the Azurill trainer, meaning that Harley can proceed to the next round!
Backstage, May congratulates Harley on his win. Harley thanks her and tells her to be careful of her opponent, Kent. He says that his Masquerain is very fast, but I wasn't able to catch what advice he gave her to counter it. In any case, May thanks him as she steps on the stage.
The next battle in the semi-finals has begun! Masquerain uses Double Team and follows it up with a Quick Attack, hitting May's Bulbasaur. It then uses Water Pulse followed by a Quick Attack, hitting Bulbasaur again. The water pokemon moves in for a third attack, but Bulbasaur is able to counter with a Razor Leaf. However, Masquerain uses Double Team to dodge the attack, so Bulbasaur tries a Vine Whip attack this time.
Masquerain thrusts forward with another Water Pulse/Quick Attack combination, but Bulbasaur is able to slap it away with a Vine Whip attack this time. The grass pokemon follows it with a Petal Dance attack, hitting Masquerain while dazzling the judges. Masquerain gets up from the attack and is about to counter, but the buzzer goes off! The time for this battle has run out, and May is declared the winner. Harley, who's been watching this match, is upset at her win.
Without wasting any time, May and Harley take the stage for the final round. May asks Harley why he gave her that bad advice, and Harley admits how much he doesn't like her. He then tells her that Contests are serious, and May responds that she'll show him how serious she can be. May calls Bulbasaur while Harley calls Cacturne as the battle is under way. Cacturne starts off with a Pin Missile attack, but Bulbasaur is able to deflect them with its Vine Whip. Bulbasaur takes the offensive now as it uses Razor Leaf, but Cacturne is able to deflect those attacks with its Bullet Seed. May's pokemon then uses Vine Whip, followed by a Tackle attack, to land a hit on Cacturne. The cactus pokemon is knocked down, and Harley screams out for his dear pokemon.
The purple-haired Coordinator then reaches into his pocket and presses a button on what appears to be a small tape recorder. Suddenly, Max's voice can be heard over the loudspeakers of the auditorium! As Max sits in the audience, wondering what's going on, the voice over the loudspeakers tells an embarrassing story about May. Ash and the others ask what's going on, and Max told them that Harley had asked him to tell him a story before the Contest. It seems that he was recording it with a hidden tape recorder!
As May blushes from embarrassment, the story continues as Max tells (through a flashback) how May was playing in the water one day when she was little. She's approached by two Tentacool, so she swims over to pet them. Suddenly, she notices that she's being surrounded by a whole sea full of Tentacool! She yells for her mom and dad to help, and the flashback ends with Norman and Caroline getting ready to help. Everyone in the audience starts to laugh at May as the girl from Touka City angrily screams out her brother's name. Harley then starts to laugh and calls her "Tentacool-chan", causing the audience to laugh even more. As May boils in her own embarrassment, Harley's Cacturne sneaks up behind Bulbasaur and hits it from behind!
So the battle continues! After Bulbasaur recovers, it uses Razor Leaf, so Cacturne responds with the Pin Missile. It hits the starter Pokémon, but Bulbasaur quickly retaliates with a Vine Whip attack, followed by Petal Dance. Cacturne is able to dodge all of it.
Bulbasaur is visibly worn out as it struggles to keep up. Harley simply laughs, calling May "Tenta-chan." Ash shouts at May not to give up as Cacturne begins to charge toward May's Pokémon. Fushgidane responds by using Vine Whip to wrap around Cacturne' leg! Bulbasaur tosses Cacturne into the air, and as it falls Bulbasaur uses a Razor Leaf/Petal Dance combination to knock Cacturne out. May wins the Contest! As Ash and the others cheer, May proudly holds up her new Ribbon. Harley quietly recalls his Cacturne and leaves the stage with only a "hmmpf."
