==Synopsis==
Rachel tries again to earn her first Hoenn ribbon
==Summary==
The Fallarbor Contest is at hand, but before the festivities begin Justin and his friends encounter Evyr who is entering the Contest with her recently evolved Roselia. Rachel plans to use Mudkip, but when practicing Minun uses Encore in a cheer. When Justin explains the effects of Encore, Rachel decides to use Minun for the Contest over Mudkip. Justin almost immediately comes up with an appeal for Rachel and Minun to use
The contest begins. In a request for the lights to be dimmed, Rachel has Minun summon stars with Swift. He then smashes destroys the stars with Discharge, causing small electric, rainbow flowers sparkles across the stage. Minun powers as glittering dust surrounds him. Summer is some time after Rachel and she performs with her Loudred, who beat-boxes with Hyper Voice. Evyr then appeals with Roselia, demonstrating a glistening Synthesis.
Rachel, Summer, and Evyr advance to the battle rounds, and Evyr and Summer are pit against each other. Summer has Loudred use sound to confuse Roselia and knock her out with Flamethrower. Rachel and Minun manage to defeat Lung and his Ninjask to advance to the final stage. Rachel struggles in the battle, avoiding Minun's Encore so Summer will not be prepared for it.
In the final, Rachel and Summer have their battle with Minun and Loudred, sharing early blows, but Loudred's sonic abilities tip the battle into Summer's favor by negating Minun's Discharge. When Loudred uses Stomp, Minun overcomes confusion to dodge and execute his Encore, which renders Loudred prey to Minun's attacks. Loudred breaks the Encore and uses Flamethrower, which Minun meets with Discharge. Minun wins the battle by points and Rachel therefore claims her first Hoenn Ribbon.
