==Synopsis==
After spending over a week in the National Park, Yazmyne is ready to push her journey forward and looks forward to the Ecruteak City Contest. She returns Beautifly, Starmie, and Rhyhorn home. She happens to try to leave the same day as the Bug-Catching Contest, the National Park regularly holds. Yazmyne thinks she already has enough Bug Pokémon but decides to compete even if just for fun.
Uncoincidentally, Dante arrives from the Sinnoh Region to compete in the Contest, hoping to do so with Yazmyne. Dante shares that he heard Yazmyne advertise Nick's book over the Goldenrod Radio. Dante shares that he's earned two badges so far, defeating an Electric Gym and a Water Gym. He also presents the Wurmple twins Yazmyne gave him that have since evolved.
When the contest is had, Yazmyne and Dante choose Hawlucha and Dustox, respectively for the competition. Dante has an easy time with the contest, catching several Bug-Type Pokémon and analyzing their strength with his Pokedex and his own knowledge of Bug Pokémon. Yazmyne, however, struggles because Hawlucha gets into a rivalry with a Heracross and dedicates himself to nothing more than defeating him, which occupies the entire contest time.
Yazmyne captures the Heracross, which proves an impressive capture. Dante captures a Butterfree but neither trainer win the competition. Rather it is a young boy named Guzma, who captures a Pinsir.
After the competition, Yazmyne and Dante share farewells before Dante leaves for Goldenrod City to catch his train back to Sinnoh. Yazmyne refocuses and heads toward Ecruteak City.
