THE SHIP CAPTAIN IS BACK! Drew asks our girl, who was training with Beautifly alone, if she has won any ribbons and she asks him the same, to which he tells her that he has won 3 so far and is winning his 4th this contest. Later on, Drew meets the rest of the gang at the PC and Drew asks Ash if he's participating in the contest, to which Ash tells him that he isn't, and that they're only May cheerleaders. Drew feels the beta energy from Ash and asks him to pokemon battle him.
Drew wins. Ash kwab status confirmedOur girl sees their pokemon battle from afar and is surprised at what happened. Drew gives a monologue about the importance of a trainer having confidence and trust in their Pokemon, otherwise their Pokemon will falter. A monologue that was directed to May, as he knew she was watching hidden in the background.
TR sub-plot has them selling phony gold/silver pokeblocks whilst disguised as merchants. The 'pokeblocks' increase sexyness/bitterness of pokemon, to the point that contest success is guaranteed. They're selling like hotcakes to amateur coordinators, and our girl, who is mentally lost and walking around town alone, happens to see their business. She seriously considers buying their pokeblocks to guarantee her contest success.
