==Synopsis==
Rachel and Evyr enter the Slateport City Contest, and they are dominated by a very experienced opponent.
==Summary==
The Slateport Contest is at hand, and Lisia opens the competition with a masterful performance by her Altaria, which only supports her fame as a two-time Grand Festival Champion. Lisia then takes her place as a judge.
When the Contest officially begins, Rachel performs in her new contest consume. She executes her rehearsed performance with Mudkip but takes a risk and ends it with a glistening Water Gun fountain. Evyr performs with her signature Baltoy.
The final performer is Lisia's rival Chazz, who lost to Lisia in the finals of the last two Hoenn Grand Festivals. Chazz performs with Machoke who uses Bulk Up and Strength to showcase its amazing muscles and lift a very heavy weight with one arm.
At the end of the appeal stage, Chazz and Evyr secure the first two spots, and Rachel is thrilled to claim the fourth and final spot, advancing her to the battle rounds.
During the battle rounds, Chazz quickly showcases his superiority by swiftly defeating Evyr and Baltoy with Machoke in the opening battle round. Rachel and Mudkip share the same fate in the finals. Chazz and Machoke's dominance easily wins them the Slateport City Contest for his third Hoenn Ribbon.
Rachel and Evyr loom over the difference in raw power and talent between them and Chazz. Rachel is not too upset as her goal was to clear the appeal stage for the first time, and she succeeded. Her next goal is to win her first ribbon. Rachel and Evyr strive to improve and overcome Chazz's talent with her their own.
