>>57622640May 3rd ever contest!
During the performance phase, Skitty fails to perform a full power blizzard, so our girl improvises a ball juggling performance to make up for the initial blunder. May doubts she'll make it past the 1st round, but despite the unflashy performance, our girl manages to advance to the battle phase. After beating the npc and advancing to the finals, she gets to finally battle Phantom!
Okay so this was quite underwhelming. Despite Phantom beating Drew and almost beating Ash with little to no difficulty, here he's of course nerfed and the battle plays out in a dumb way. Basically, they go move by move. First Skitty uses blizzard and fails to use it at full power again, so our girl commands Skitty to use normal type moves, which of course don't work againt ghost type Dusklops. Dusklops lands multiple fighting type moves and an hyper beam, and despite all that Skitty keeps going without much trouble. Now, logically, you would think May knows she can use assist / cat-paw to start attacking, but the narrative here was that she didn't think of it (and neither did the gang, who were narrating/spectating the match), so when she finally realizes she should use assist, it's played-off as an enlightening moment that turns the tide of the battle in her favor. And despite Dusklops clearly being a bigger powerhouse than Skitty, after tying the score, our girl decides to use blizzard and this time it works, so it collides with Dusklops hyper-beam and it overpowers it, resulting in Phantom defeat.
So yeah there it is. 2nd ribbon getto kamo!
