==Synopsis==
==Blurb==
Finally in [[Pacifidlog Town]], May enthusiastically prepares for the upcoming {{pkmn|Contest}}. Though she already has four [[Ribbon]]s, she needs a fifth to enter the [[Grand Festival]]. Because the [[Pacifidlog Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]] is chronologically the last Contest before the Festival, May must win this Contest Ribbon to be eligible to enter the festival. With that as motivation, May and her Pokémon are soon hard at work on their performance moves -- with one notable exception. When {{TP|May|Skitty}} chases after an Aipom, May runs into fellow Coordinator {{OBP|Joshua|Coordinator}}.  
<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/08_23-mean-with-envy/-->
<i>Pacifidlog at last! May is practicing for her contest, and Ash wants Snorunt to practice Ice Beam. But Snorunt's wild aim hits Team Rocket instead and scares another Coordinator's Aipom. Skitty chases it, and May chases Skitty. She finds Skitty playing with another Coordinator, Joshua, and the two talk about the upcoming contest. Erica, a Coordinator who really likes Joshua, loses her cool when she sees them together and gives May a piece of her mind.
 
Ash and the others show up, but so does Team Rocket! The villains grab Pikachu and Snorunt, so May and Joshua team up to stop them. Erica's so mad that May and Joshua are working together, she has Jynx use Hyper Beam to send Team Rocket flying. Then it's time to register for the contest, where Team Rocket also has a plan to enter the contest—with Meowth!
 
The first competitor in the Pacifidlog Contest is the Jester and her Meowth. Both of them look awfully familiar, as does the Giovanni ice sculpture Meowth carves using Fury Swipes! Joshua, Erica, and May all do well and move onto the second round along with the Jester. To May's shock, she'll be facing Joshua in the second round! Erica wants Joshua to win so they can win the ribbon together, but there's no way May is going to give up!</i>
 
==Plot==
Finally in [[Pacifidlog Town]], May enthusiastically prepares for the upcoming [[Pokémon Contest]]. Though she already has four [[Ribbon]]s, she needs a fifth to enter the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]]. Because the Pacifidlog Contest is chronologically the last Pokémon Contest before the [[Grand Festival]], May must win this Contest Ribbon to be eligible to enter the competition. With that as motivation, May and {{cat|May's Pokémon|her Pokémon}} are soon hard at work on their performance moves -- with one notable exception. When {{TP|May|Skitty}} chases after an Aipom, May runs into fellow {{pkmn|Coordinator}} {{OBP|Joshua|Coordinator}}.


Meanwhile, {{Ash}} is motivated by all of May's hard work to start training for the [[Hoenn League]] [[Pokémon League Conference|Championship]], itself not far off. He calls out {{AP|Snorunt}} to work on {{m|Ice Beam}}, which proves difficult for the playful Pokémon at first. Snorunt has soon mastered the force behind the technique but has no control over it. Nearby, {{TRT}} loses no time in making an attempt on Pikachu (an impromptu spring from nearby bushes), which is cut short as a rogue Ice Bean freezes them solid. Snorunt looses several more unaimed beams, causing chaos with nearby Trainers.

Elsewhere, May and Joshua had become acquainted. Joshua, a Pacifidlog Town native, has entered the Pokémon Contest and is apparently a local favorite. However, as May and Joshua chat, [[Erica]] (Joshua's girlfriend and yet another Coordinator) wrongly concludes that May is after Joshua romantically. As Erica watches and fumes from a distance, May reveals that she has not yet chosen a Pokémon for the Contest. As Joshua comments that she should consider her Skitty, Joshua comments that her Skitty "is so cute," which finally compels Erica to show herself. As Erica puts forth several accusations against May, she explains her master plan to go to the Contest finals with Joshua (which somehow involves them winning the Contest together) and reveals her Contest Pokémon, Jynx. Eventually, Ash, Brock, and Max find May, and the trio of Coordinators go to register at the Contest together.

On the way, Team Rocket has apparently regrouped and launches a balloon-born assault on the party -- however, May's {{TP|May|Combusken}} quickly dismisses the balloon with a {{m|Sky Uppercut}} and Joshua's {{p|Houndoom}} rebukes Team Rocket's ragtag offensive. The addition of Skitty's {{m|Assist}} and Jynx's {{m|Hyper Beam}} send Team Rocket blasting off. May and Erica begin arguing over the battle, but Joshua points out that if they keep fighting, they will miss the Contest registration. May and Erica agree to resolve their argument on the Contest floor. Meanwhile, Team Rocket has landed and Jessie and Meowth enter the Contest in the persona of "The Jester". Ash resolves to keep training with Snorunt outside of the Contest Hall, leaving Brock and Max to root for May.

Jessie ("The Jester") and Meowth use {{m|Fury Swipes}} to carve out ice sculptures in the preliminary rounds, while Joshua uses his Houndoom's {{m|Shadow Ball}} and {{m|Swift}} for sensational effect.

All four Trainers advance to the second round. May is assigned to fight Joshua, and Erica squares off against Jessie.

Blurb

Pacifidlog at last! May is practicing for her contest, and Ash wants Snorunt to practice Ice Beam. But Snorunt's wild aim hits Team Rocket instead and scares another Coordinator's Aipom. Skitty chases it, and May chases Skitty. She finds Skitty playing with another Coordinator, Joshua, and the two talk about the upcoming contest. Erica, a Coordinator who really likes Joshua, loses her cool when she sees them together and gives May a piece of her mind.

Ash and the others show up, but so does Team Rocket! The villains grab Pikachu and Snorunt, so May and Joshua team up to stop them. Erica's so mad that May and Joshua are working together, she has Jynx use Hyper Beam to send Team Rocket flying. Then it's time to register for the contest, where Team Rocket also has a plan to enter the contest—with Meowth!

The first competitor in the Pacifidlog Contest is the Jester and her Meowth. Both of them look awfully familiar, as does the Giovanni ice sculpture Meowth carves using Fury Swipes! Joshua, Erica, and May all do well and move onto the second round along with the Jester. To May's shock, she'll be facing Joshua in the second round! Erica wants Joshua to win so they can win the ribbon together, but there's no way May is going to give up!

Plot

Finally in Pacifidlog Town, May enthusiastically prepares for the upcoming Pokémon Contest. Though she already has four Ribbons, she needs a fifth to enter the Hoenn Grand Festival. Because the Pacifidlog Contest is chronologically the last Pokémon Contest before the Grand Festival, May must win this Contest Ribbon to be eligible to enter the competition. With that as motivation, May and her Pokémon are soon hard at work on their performance moves -- with one notable exception. When Skitty chases after an Aipom, May runs into fellow Coordinator Joshua.

Meanwhile, Ash is motivated by all of May's hard work to start training for the Hoenn League Championship, itself not far off. He calls out Snorunt to work on Ice Beam, which proves difficult for the playful Pokémon at first. Snorunt has soon mastered the force behind the technique but has no control over it. Nearby, Team Rocket loses no time in making an attempt on Pikachu (an impromptu spring from nearby bushes), which is cut short as a rogue Ice Bean freezes them solid. Snorunt looses several more unaimed beams, causing chaos with nearby Trainers.

Elsewhere, May and Joshua had become acquainted. Joshua, a Pacifidlog Town native, has entered the Pokémon Contest and is apparently a local favorite. However, as May and Joshua chat, Erica (Joshua's girlfriend and yet another Coordinator) wrongly concludes that May is after Joshua romantically.
