RA064

==Synopsis==
Yazmyne and Dante pass through Banyan Town en route to Corydalis City for the Wild Rose Masquerade. Banyan Town is hosting a contest and Yazmyne decides to pass on entering when she sees that the stage for the competition is an ice stage, and none of her Pokémon, barring Aerodactyl, can compete on the terrain.
Yazmyne and Dante decide to buy tickets and enjoy the contest from the stands. After buying the tickets, the trainers spot a young boy who is too scared to enter the Contest Hall. The boy is Harlem who wishes to enter his first contest, but he is holding back a secret unbeknownst to Yazmyne and Dante.
Harlem recognizes Yazmyne from the Kanto Grand Festival and is starstruck to meet her, a Top Coordinator. Harlem begs Yazmyne for help so he's ready for the contest. Since she isn't competing, Yazmyne agrees to help Harlem especially since his signature Pokémon is a Swinub, reminding Yazmyne of Daniel. Yazmyne helps Harlem prepare his Swinub for the Contest, which occurs the next day.
Yazmyne and Dante meet with Harlem and his parents the day of the contest. His parents do not know Harlem secretly signed up for the contest and are thus outraged when they see their sun on the stage. However, Harlem and Swinub perform very well. During the contest, Yazmyne and Dante are surprised that Emma has also arrived to compete in the Banyan Contest, and she showcases her Masquerain, naturally evolved from Surskit. She and Harlem advance to the battle rounds. 
Emma ultimately defeats Harlem in the semifinals and goes on to win the contest and her third Riau Ribbon.
After the Contest, Harlem's parents say that in addition to Harlem being too young to be a trainer, they were worried he'd be heartbroken if he lost. However, Harlem is in excellent spirits after the contest, having made the semifinals on his first try but agrees not to compete again until he's older and with his parent's permission.
Meanwhile, Yazmyne and Dante catch up with Emma and share their information about the Corydalis Tournament. Emma declines on entering, not remotely ready to train her Pokémon for double battles yet, but she wishes them the best of luck.
Yazmyne and Dante later leave Banyan Town without saying goodbye to Harlem. Dante questions Yazmyne's decision and Yazmyne believes she and Harlem will meet again one day, so there isn't a need for "goodbye."
