-The Review-

0:00

We start off the episode with everybody looking at a very pretty view!

0:05

Max: I bet that the contest building will be the one right there!

Where the fuck did the city go?

0:16

May You're being weirder then you should be.

0:24

Ash: uh... May? are you alright?

We were all just thinking that Ash.

But what she is doing the same thing you usually do so you're not allowed to judge her.

0:33

May: :Talks about her winning the contest:

Max: I think we've lost her for good.

Max seriously??? She just wants to win! Ash does this every episode and you don't judge him!!!

0:37

May: Well, why shouldn't I aim for the top??? If I'm not going to believe in me then who will!

Ya I agree with you May, Max is being a jerk.

1:18

NEW THEME SONG

IT IS STILL NOSTALGIC TO ME

Skip to 2:03 if you don't want to hear it.

2:24

Again with the disappearing people!

here, a screen shot from just a few moments before

And now:

I blame her mettecham.

2:47

I BLAME HER METTECHAM!!!

also May in this frame:

2:49

METTECHAM YOU FUCKER

2:54

AND NOW YOU'RE STEALING POKEMON.

2:27

Redhead: Mettecham.

And now it's letting everything all to the ground possible breaking many things.

Fuck mettecham.

3:08

Redhead: :grunts: My most sincere apologies. My Pokemon Unconsciously released a burst of physick energy. Obviously it needs more training.

Totally an accident.

If you knew it might do this why did you let it out?

Fuck the mettecham and the Redhead.

3:20

Brock stop flirting with her she is evil.

3:30

May: So sorry about that, he has a habit of doing that whenever he sees a beautiful girl!

Redhead: Me? Beautiful?

May: Of course!

:long moment of silence:

Redhead: Suddenly makes THIS face and giggles:

AND THEN LAUGHS MANIACALLY

Readhead: ME BEAUTIFUL??? OH PLEASE HAHAHAHA

3:49

SHE FUCKING PUNCHED MAY ACROSS THE ROOM.

FUCK HER.

3:50

ASH YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO CATCH HER NOT FALL DOWN WITH HER!

YOU'RE A TERRIBLE FRIEND!

3:53

Don't just stand there do something about it motherfuckers!!!!

3:56

Redhead: :Continues laughing maniacally:

She suddenly stopped???

She looks like she is shocked!

Did she not mean to punch her???

4:00

Redhead: Oh Darn, Looks like I've done it again!

Again?

Fuck you.

4:03

Redhead: Sorry

She said this.

With no remorse.

Also Ash looks hurt and May shouldn't even accept her help to get up.

No wonder I hated this character so much.

Also her voice is annoying.

4:06

Redhead: Also my name is Grace, and this is Mettecham!

She is none of these things.

4:10

May: Hi Grace I'm May! Nice to meet you!

Grace...

must've completely wiped her memory...

and Everybody else's

That is why Brock and Max looked so confused!!!

also, FUCK GRACE.

4:15

Grace: Isn't this great!

They are all no confused as to what is going on.

We didn't even get to see!!!

I fucking hate Grace.

4:20

Brock: Ah, such a healthy apatite! With my cooking abilities and her love of food to inspire me we'd make the perfect couple!

More evidence she erased there memories: Brock would not be flirting with somebody if that somebody punched May in the face. In fact, he would leave immediately with May.

4:42

Ash: Uh, Hey Grace?

Grace: Hm?

Ash: So I'm sure you're a good trainer! Have you won any ribbons yet?

-Earlier-

Grace: I need to get better at training, I'm not too good at it.

I'm not kidding at this point.

I said it as a joke but it REALLY seems like she wiped their memories.

That bitch.

4:49

Grace: Yup, sure have.

May: Three of them already??

Grace: I'm planning to add a fourth one of I can win the Fall Arbor Contest! Don't win.

4:58

Max: :talking to May: Guess you're not the only one who's confident she's gonna win

May: Huh??? Whoever said I was sure about winning anything?!?

Max: You did just 5 minuets ago

Just 5 minuets ago?

5 minuets ago the sun was just barley starting to set and now it is dark outside. Therefor, it has not been five minuets.

So not only did she erase their memories a bunch she erased May's the most to make sure she doesn't remember her punching her.

I was telling a joke Pokeane.

I was telling a fucking joke.

5:06

May: Max why do you always have to embarrass me! Grace the truth is this is only my first Contest ever.

Grace: May! That doesn't have anything to do with it! It's not just the coordinator with the most experience who wins in a pokemon contest, who your opponent is has a lot to do with it, and sometimes it's just luck. But May the secret is you can't win anything untill you can use your Pokemon's potential to the fullest.

So you're going to try to pretend you're nice again huh bitch?

She punched May I can't forgive her.

5:44

May: There's so much I don't know... I can't believe I have thought I was going to win...

:long silence:

:Blank face:

Oh no...

:Odd face while she giggles:

OH NO

Grace: Aww great! Me and my big mouth once again!

She calmed down...

She didn't hurt anybody...

That was a close one...

5:50

May: No no grace it's that you that's making me feel this way... I was exited to come to fall Arbor Town, but now that I'm here, with all of the other contestants, I'm feeling nervous...

AW CRAP WHEN SHE FINISHED THAT SENTENCE HER FACE CRACKED AGAIN

6:00

Grace: HAHAHHA

Grace: Oh boy!

And then she relaxed...

oh good god that was close...

6:04

Grace: May just don't let the pressure get to you down tell you what I'm show you some of Mettechams attacks YA! :jabs spoon into table then holds spoon into air: YA WATCH AND LEARN FROM AN EXPERT!

May: Ya I'd love to!

what the fuck

that poor spoon.

Also why does Grace thing that May watching her Pokemon use the attcks they will use make her less upset? It will probably make her more worried that she will loose becuase you're way better.

6:49

Mettecham did a combination of Phicick and Icepunch (becuase that'll work...) and May learnt was a combination is.

becuase she didn't know.

7:00

May: Beautifly! Use Silver wind!

:uses:

May: Combine tackle!

What?

Beautifly: :moves forward where the Silver wind was:

May: I mean gust!

Beautifly: :Gives her this look like "wtf do you even want me to do" then uses gust:

May: No! Change it to string shot!

Beautifly: :Uses gust and strongshot:

May think before you talk.

7:30

May: Poor beautifly...

Drew: Nice work.

I like this picture so much.

I just do.

7:29

May: Drew?

Drew: Isn't that sweet. You even remember my name after all this time. :turns around to face May: Hi May. :tosses rose:

7:40

Drew: Don't get your hopes up May. The only reason I came here was to see Beautifly again~.

May: The now you can go.

Drew: Flicks hair for the 1st time this episode: Anyhow. I don't suppose you've won any ribbons have you?

7:51

May: Looks around nervously then turns away:

Drew: Didn't think so. After that last display.

7:59

May: So how many ribbons do you have Mr.Perfect???

3rd nickname she's given him.

May, this is going to turn out like Ash asking him to show him his great Pokemon. He has great Pokemon. He has a bunch of ribbons.

Drew: Thought you'd never ask. At the rate I'm going, I'll need a new case soon. :had three out of five ribbons:

Well he has been training more like... 7 more months then you and entering contests way more then you becuase he has been doing them longer and doesn't have to travel with somebody who wants to do gym battles...

8:17

Drew: A trainer with no ribbons at all doesn't really stand a chance in this competition. :walks off:

Drew - Gives May a rose and then decides to say he has 3 ribbons and she needs to step up her game.

Drew you are a great character just becuase you trick everybody into thinking you're a douchbag.

8:32

If you want to skip the part with team rocket skip to 11:13

Basically their plot of the episode is that they are selling Pokeblock but they are trying to make it look more special so that more people buy it.

Also Wabbafet

11:16

Ash: Hey Max? Have you seen May?

Max: She's probably off training somewhere.

Ash: Come to think of it I haven't seen Brock either.

Max: Oh, he's around

:shows clip of Brock in the room next to them flirting with 20 different girls:

Ash: ha, looks like he's practicing to!

11:45

Ash: Drew?

Drew: hm. You're May's little friend right?

Ash: Ya! We've met before! Should'a know you'd be here!

Drew: I just came to get a few more ribbons so that I can enter into the Grand Festival.

Ash: Aw that's awesome!

Drew: Are you all entered into the contest too?

Ash: Nah we're just here to sheer for May and watch her compete!

Drew interacting with Ash is so adorable I can't believe I've never noticed.

12:05

Drew: I get it. You're afraid right? :flicks hair for the 3rd time:

Ash: Huh??? No!!! I'm not afraid of anything!!! And.. I'd never back down from you or anybody else!!!

Ash he really didn't mean to offend you that much but okay.

12:14

Drew: So is that a fact? :flicks hair the 4th fucking time: Then why don't you and me have a battle?

Ash: Huh? You want to battle with me? A real battle?

Drew: Just becuase I'm a Pokemon Coordinator doesn't mean my battling skills aren't top notch.

Ash: Great! Ready when you are!

These interactions are so beautiful.

I'm starting to ship Drew with more people now lol. @itstimetodrew was right multi-shipping is fun.

12:45

So the battle is Tailow Verses Rosellia. Ash has the type advantage so that is okay.

Battle goes at accordingly:

It opens up on Ash using quick attack on Rosellia. Rosellia gets flung into the air then uses magical leaf on Tailow, who then dodges it and then almost gets hit by petal dance.

Then it goes to this:

13:19

@itstimetodrew also tuaght me something else. In Japan, crossing your legs/arms was considered a rude gesture used to offend the other person.

pfft they hate each other I guess.

okay to the actual scene.

Drew: So let's go over this one more time.

Ash: Why? Tailow already has a clear advantage over Rosellia so the same thing is going to happen.

Drew: answer this question: What is the challenge if I just go up against a Pokemon I know I can beat easily?

Ash: haha, ya. I can understand that!

13:38

and now we are back to the battle.

Then Tailow uses peck attack, but then Rosellia uses stun spore and Tailow flies away before he is able to attack or Rosellia is.

13:57

May from a long distance away watching the battle from afar: What's this? Rosellia verses tailow? But why is Ash battling with Drew?

Then Tailow is hit and:

May: Ah!

Drew: Just in time for the best part, May.

Drew: Rosellia finish up with solar beam!

And then Rosellia hits Tailow with solar beam and the battle ends.

14:40

May: wow... I can't believe Ash lost.

Drew: Believe it. I'll explain why.

May: huh?

Drew: In any Pokemon Contest you have to be on the same wavelength as your pokemon if you want to win. But... that can be the trickiest part about it. Because when a trainer get confused, so does their pokemon. But that's the true essence of teamwork.

Damn Drew. Very good lesson that May has been trying to learn for a while now...

15:10

May: Hi there beautifly...

:sighs:

May better prepare yourself. You should've known that this won't be easy. it really won't, and no matter how many people try to get it to you it doesn't work. When the realization hits you, you have to accept it.

15:54

Team Rocket scene again, skip to 16:18 if you don't want to hear it. Basically there set up a stand and have earned way more business for the Pokeblock.

Also this screenshot:

16:18

Just kidding you have to hear it.

May: Wow. What gong on?

Guy in Green Shirt: Their going to tell out soon at this rate.

May: Sell out of what quick?

Guy: Mirical Pokeblock Silver and Gold. It can make your Pokemon look stunning!

May: :walks up to counter: If this Pokemon really does work... and improves how they look in contests then... Maybe it would help me and Beautifly win... I could win the contest...

May:

All I would need to do is give this cube to Beautifly and... I wouldn't have to worry about a thing...

This is the literally definition of wishful thinking. May knows in her head she won't win, and she thinks she can't becuase of her training ability. The competition for the ribbon is all to great, and she feels like she can't do it. She knows deep down the Pokeblock won't work.

But it would at least give her confidence.

I'm honestly not mad at Team Rocket fore pretending their Pokeblock will do such things, they sell it as the price as normal Pokeblock (becuase that is what it is) and all they are doing is giving people a huge confidence boost, which is keen for contests and battling in general.

16:56

Fucking Grace:

Hold up May!

Grace: Well just what exactly is your magical Pokeblock made out if huh??? Well a smart team rocket would say that if they told then other people would start selling ti and they would go out of business and that we refuse to tell you for that reason, but they are dumb so let's see what happens.

May: What do you mean grace???

Grace: What berries did you use???

Team Rocket: uhhhh... Good question...

Jessie: Oh just tell her!

Meowth: uhhh berries were involved?

Grace: Just as I suspected! Listen everybody why would you give something to your pokemon without knowing what is it!

Well humans all of the time eat stuff they have no idea what is it. Name every ingredient of a simple fruit snack and what it is without looking it up. Also, didn't Team Rocket make the original Pokeblock and then just recolor it? It actually showed clips of them doing that, so shouldn't they at least know what it inside the original Pokeblock?

Grace: :turns over to May: If you really were a real coordinator you would be making your own Pokeblock and not relying on short cuts and magic would you?

May: :under her breath: She's right... but I... just thought...

May: I should've realized... This isn't how I want to win...

May: I'm so sorry beautifly!

:continues crying:

The wishful thinking rant i talked about earlier. Grace was honestly so harsh about it, and didn't even have much of a point. She was able to point out that they were fake... but honestly the way she did it, she didn't have any good points and in the end I'm sure most of the people don't believe her.

May lost that confidence she would have falsely had, she knew it wasn't real... she just wanted it to be becuase she was afraid to have to lose. Sh needs to learn how to take loss... and how to get more confidence. Not from "Magic Pokeblock" but confidence in herself and her Pokemon. I just wish that the show put more attention into that a lot of the time.

Bitch: :fucking smiles at May:

Grace: :looks over at Team Rocket: Now Mettecham physick!

Mettecham: :Takes off their fake outfits reveling them being team rocket:

Grace: :MAKES THE FACE:

Grace: HAHAHA WHAT A SCAM! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ALL FELL FOR IT HAHAHAHA

I can't believe you let them get away.

18:03

Well uh...

We can't do a Contestshipping Review if May is dead...

18:06

May: Team Rocket!

Grace: You know those clowns?

Yes.

Yes she does know them.

18:10

If you want to skip this part I'll just sum it up and you can skip to Basically they took beautifly and a bunch of other Pokemon and then mettecham used phsickic on the balloon and they were all free. Beautifly used string shot on the balloon to keep in place but then Cacnia cut the rope. Mettacham knocked out Suviper and Beautifly knocked out Cacnia and they all blasted off.

again.

20:25

Grace: You give yourself way less credit then you should May! Be more confident!

May: Heh, thanks. I'll try to remember that!

Episode ends with this fabulous scene.

They all are at the contest before it starts. All of the people battling stand up stage.

Max: Hey look I see Grace!

Ash: And I see Drew! And look who is standing next to him!

May notices she is standing next to Drew and looks over at him. Then Drew smirks and the episode ends.

Beautiful.

-Conclusion-

Well, if I were to be perfectly serious I don't have too much against Grace really. She's just an annoying girl who is used as a one-time-only plot device. Drew didn't do too much in the episode but we did get some pretty awesome scenes with Ash and Drew in their battle. As for May and Drew's relationship? In this episode, I don't think anything really furthered it. Like last episode we saw that both it, it is just on the tip of becoming romance. Overall I think this episode was pretty good but it could use some improvements.
