==Synopsis==
Justin once again applies his knowledge about Contests.
==Summary==
Justin and Connor have entered Odale Town and they treat their Pokemon at the town's Pokemon Center. They two of them notice a flier for the upcoming Oldale Contest. Connor is eager to train Treecko and Justin offers to help with his new Torchic.
They battle and Justin makes the first move, but Torchic seems nervous and scared to battle. With Eevee's encouragement, Torchic takes an early advantage with Ember, which keeps Treecho bouncing around the field. Torchic then uses Peck, which Treecko dodges and counters with Pound. The attack causes Torchic to cry and become scared when Treecko uses Quick Attack next. Torchic then runs behind Justin, who calls off the battle. Justin notes that Connor's Torchic is very feisty and battle-ready while his Torchic is rather timid.
Justin offers Connor to train with Eevee instead who is much more willing to challenge Treecko. After training for a while, Justin notices a girl practicing an appeal for her Baltoy, which ends in repeated frustration.
Justin approaches the girl and gently advises her to work on simpler appeals before taking on complicated ones. When Evyr and Connor asks how Justin would know, Justin explains that his mother is a Top Coordinator and tried to groom him to be one but he does not believe contests are for him. Evyr asks what kind of appeal Justin would advise. Justin scans Baltoy with his Pokedex and learns that it knows Rapid Spin.
Justin takes a ball that he uses for Eevee to play with. Justin tells Evyr to have Baltoy juggle the ball with Rapid Spin. Justin then throws some berries, which Baltoy juggles as well. Justin tells Evyr that the point of an appeal is to show off their Pokemon. The flash is second. Evyr asks Justin if he will be attending the Odale Contest. Justin looks to Connor who would appreciate going, only attending a few in his life. The boys agree to support Evyr, and Justin offers to help keep Evyr practicing.
The next day, the O;dale Contest is had. Eventually Evyr appeals with Baltoy, and she executes the Rapid Spin juddling appeal she planned with Justin. Baltoy juggles while spinning across the entire stage, the judges seem to enjoy. Baltoy hites the balls back to Evyr, who catches them. Evyr throws one last ball, a special one, which Baltoy knocks into the air. Baltory then explodes it in fireworks with Psybeam. Evyr's appeal is second best and it advances her to the battle rounds. 
Evyr and Baltoy defeat a Pichu and Lairon to ultimately win the Odale Contest, which is Evyr's first ribbon. Afterwards, Evyr thanks Justin for his help, admitting she had failed on the appeal stage in two prior Contests. Evyr informs Justin of the upcoming Contest in Rustboro City and advises he try Contests, considering his insight for the art. Justin agrees to give it some thought.
