Synopsis
Template:Incomplete synopsis
The gang enter Rubello Town, and May is delighted to see that a Pokémon Contest is due to begin the next day. Deciding to enter, May meets up with Drew, who is also entering with his new Masquerain, but Drew is soon surrounded by a lot of female admirers (sounds a bit like Gary) which makes May feel a little jealous. However, the jealously is forgotten when she also gets a group of fans approach her. Savannah, the head of the group, explains that they saw May in the Verdanturf Contest and that she will be entering this contest with her Lairon and Flareon, making May realise she’s got a new rival. Deciding to enter Bulbasaur in the contest, May and Savannah have a practice battle when Team Rocket appear. It seems that Jessie has attempted to enter Dustox in the contest, but she can’t as she doesn’t meet the entry requirement of a Ribbon, so she’s gonna steal one instead…

Pokémon Trainer's Choice: Arbok
Trivia
- In this episode, Team Rocket uses a variation of their motto.
- The dub title is a pun of the phrase "a man with a plan".
Errors
- The most infamous Trainer's Choice incorrectly claims that Arbok evolves into Seviper. Arbok and the other two choices, Sableye and Suicune don't evolve at all, and Seviper is the only Pokémon in its evolution chain.[1]
- In both the original and the dub, May mentioned that she used Skitty in the Fallarbor contest, but she actually used Beautifly in the contest in question.
- When Team Rocket does their motto Jessie states that the contest is tonight, but at the end of the episode May says the contest is tomorrow.
