FJ049

==Synopsis==
The Grass Tournament continues and Hoppip does everything she can to help Justin win the tournamrnt.
==Summary==
On the final day of the Grass Festival and second day of the Grass Tournament the semifinals and finals are held. Justin and Hoppip face Devon and Servine in the semifinals. Servine uses Attract to daze Hoppip when the former's Fairy Wind keeps Servine repelled. Servine hammers heavy attacks until Hoppip breaks free of Attract's spell to resume attacking. Hoppip becomes more determined and faster. She learns Acrobatics and edge a victory over Servine to send Justin to the finals.
Cynthia joins Justin in the finals after her Roselia defeats Liz's Weepinbell. In the finals, Justin and Hoppip struggle all over again. Roselia's Extrasensory renders Hoppip's Acrobatics mute, and her Petal Dance repels Fairy Wind. Hoppip capitalizes on a small opening when Roselia's Petal Dance renders her confused and exposed to attack. Roselia recovers and strikes back with Poison Jab. 
Poisoned but determined, Hoppip pushes herself one more time and evolves into Skiploom. Her attacks are more faster and heavier. Skiploom takes complete control until she flinches for a moment from poison. Cynthia orders Roselia to capitalize on the opening. Roselia restricts Skiploom with Extrasensory and defeats her with Poison Jab to win the event for her trainer.
In the closing ceremonies, Justin is awarded a Runner-Up plate, a check, and the second prize of a Miracle Seed for his Skiploom. Cynthia is awarded the grand prizes. She then takes her newly earned Shiny Stone and evolves her Roselia into Roserade. Roserade ends the festivities by releasing a newly learned Leaf Storm into the skies
The next day, Cynthia bids farewell to Justin and his friends. She leaves for Goldenrod City to return to Sinnoh. Devon departs as well, happy to have formally met Justin. Andrew and Justin discuss their next steps. Justin intends to press forward to Ecruteak City while Andrew intends to return to the National Park to compete in the Bug Catching Contest again.
