==Synopsis==
Evyr and Andrew are now rivals.
==Summary==
Justin, Evyr, and Andrew venture to Lilycove City where Andrew and Evyr have registered for the Lilycove Contest. Shortly upon arrival, Justin is recognized by several fans who ask for his autograph, which Justin allows. 
After escaping his fans, Justin allows Evyr and Andrew to borrow Eevee and Swellow, respectively, to practice battle tactics before the contest. Soon, Juan arrives, and his presence quickly stops Andrew and his Pokemon to address Juan. Evyr and Justin quickly see how Juan's mentorship his sharpened Andrew. Juan gives his early critique of Andrew's practice and then gives the a critique to Evyr. Though Evyr is not his mentee, Juan appreciates her battle style and hard work. Juan then leaves the coordinators to resume practicing. 
To the side, Juan congratulates Justin on his victory over Elite Four Sidney. Juan still wishes Justin would train as a Coordinator but he saw from his performance that battles are where Justin finds his greatest passion. Justin asks Juan if he will be a judge, and Juan says he cannot due to conflict of interest. Since Andrew is his mentee, he wants to be present for all of his contests. 
The next day, the Lilycove Contest is set to begin but before the festivities, Andrew sends out a Bulbasaur, his newest Pokémon, and asks Justin to watch her during the Contest. Andrew wants Bulbasaur to see a Contest first-hand, which Justin thinks is an excellent idea. When Andrew hand Squirtle to Justin, Squirtle sprays Justin with Water Gun, revealing herself to be a skittish and untrusting Pokemon. Andrew shares that Squirtle did not hatch too long ago, so she is still cautious of new people. Andrew has Aipom stay with Justin as well, which calms Squirtle as she trusts Aipom. 
Justin takes Eevee, Aipom, and the reluctant Squirtle into the audience as the Lilycove Contest begins. Evyr is the sixth performer, and she competes with Flygon. Flygon opens by shimmering lime-green with Dragon Dance, and it dances across the stage while producing bright green sparkles. Flygon then lands and expands its wings with Steel Wing, which grow wider and glow a mixed shade of silver and lime-green from the effects of Dragon Dance. The crowd applauds, and Justin comments that Evyr this performance is the first time Evyr has shown off Flygon as a Dragon Pokemon.
Andrew is the seventeenth performer, and he calls on Absol. Andrew has Absol fire discs of Psycho Cut across the field. The discs bounce across the stage, and Justin notes how difficult it must be for a non-Psychic Pokemon to produce a Psycho Cut of such quantity and quality. Absol then leaps and destroys all the discs with Shadow Claw that leaves behind purple and pink glitter that fall to the stage and cling to Absol's fur for a fine appeal. 
After the last of the performances, the results are tallied during the intermission. Evyr secures second place, and Andrew secures fourth place, advancing bother coordinators to the battle rounds and opposite sides of the draw. 
Andrew and Evyr rush to win their opening battles via knockout, clearly eager to face each other in the final. When the final begins, Andrew is awarded the first move, and he has Absol charge in with Psycho Cut. Flygon stuns and immobilizes Absol with sonic waves of Bug Buzz. Flygon then blasts Absol, causing Andrew to lose 1/4 of his original score. Flygon and Absol clash with Steel Wing and Shadow Claw, respectively, and Evyr takes a larger lead in the battle by having Flygon trap Absol's feet in a Sand Tomb. Andrew embraces the situation and has Absol perform Perish Song, which immobilizes Flygon and doubles as an eerie appeal. Absol then strikes Flygon with sonic discs of Psycho Cut. Flygon recovers and performs Bug Buzz, and Absol retaliates by echoing another Perish Song, causing a collision of sound waves. 
Flygon transitions into a stunning Dragon Dance, glowing lime-green for a dazzling appeal. Dragon Dance also strengthens Flygon's Steel Wing, which allows it to deflect Absol's discs of Psycho Cut. Andrew loses 1/5 of his original score. Flygon then dives toward Absol who is still restricted from Sand Tomb. Absol reveals to have learned Water Pulse from Juan and summons a watery tornado that Flygon dives through, missing Absol. Absol then performs Shadow Claw, breaking free from the Sand Tomb and pouncing on Flygon from behind. Absol slams and pins Flygon to the ground, taking away Evyr's points. Absol then executes a point-blank Water Pulse that explodes on Flygon. 
Absol and Flygon separate, and they deliver a repeat appeal battle of Perish Song and Bug Buzz, respectively. Their "singing" escalates, disturbing and deafening the audience until the clock expires. Despite Andrew's late battle combination, Evyr has the most points by a confident margin and is declared the winner of the Lilycove Contest. 
During the final ceremony, Andrew stands with Absol and is awarded a runner-up plaque and a small basket of Watmel Berries. Evyr and Flygon are then awarded the Lilcove Ribbon and her third Hoenn Ribbon of the current circuit. Evyr is also awarded a small basket of Yache Berries. A final round of applause ends the competition. 
After the Contest, Juan congratulates Evyr on winning the Lilycove Contest as well as Andrew's fine performance despite his defeat. Juan is disappointed by the way Andrew, and Evyr, competed in their semifinal battles as they focused on pure battle instead of showing off their Pokemon. However, he praises their passion and desire to face each other, respecting the impact rivals have on each other. 
Juan understands that their next stop is Kalos, and Justin confirms that they are going to support Rachel in the Master Class Showcase. Juan advises Andrew and Evyr to learn from the Showcase appeals. He wishes them safe travels and reminds Andrew to return to Sootopolis City immediately when they return to Hoenn where they will work on his and Absol's errors. 
The next day, Justin, Evyr, and Andrew board arrive at the Lilycove Airport and board a plane to Kalos.
