Synopsis

In this episode May is stuck and confused with what to do, after being tricked by Harley, and barely making it through to the next round. She then gets important advice from Drew, saying to follow your heart and don't listen to anyone but yourself. May then fights Harley in the next round and wins, after seeing Drew get a perfect score. Finally, after the fight, May finds out she has to battle against Drew. It was then that she found out that Drew had another pokemon she had never seen him use, a Flygon. It was a tough battle, but Drew's Flygon and Roselia finally manage to win over May's Skitty and Combusken. At the final round, Drew is beated by a trainer with a Milotic and Claydol, a guy named Robert. Afterwards, there is an after party, and May sees a couple of bright light on the beach. It was Drew, practicing with his Masquerain and Roselia. Going up to him, she asks him why he was practicing, and he simply replies that he wants to get much better, and that even Robert was practicing aswell, even though he had won the competition. He tells May some advice, saying "You always have to keep trying to get better, or someone will pass you by." After telling her his dreams, his goal, and all his plans ahead, he starts off to leave, telling her, "I'm hoping to see you back here next year to, May. You were good," and walked off, leaving May behind, who seemed to be deep in thought.

May was soon distracted by Ash, Brock, Max, and Caroline, who were wondering where she was. They then see Drew in the distance and wonder why they were both here alone on the beach, where may replied that they were saying goodbye. Caroline states, "You two on the beach, how romantic!" That made May blush furiously and explain that they were 'just friends'.
