What about when they said this.

Drew: You think you are so clever
Harley: The cleverest

I'm glad she won. I was getting sick of her getting ready and participating in contests. Hate em hate em hate em.

[Blue Snover]

I'm glad that May won, it just shows that even when he gets someone else to battle for him, Harley can't beat May.

[(s.i.e)]

wait didn't squirtle managed to tackle a bannete in this episode?

[Ash-kid]

Squirtle was brave, it was able to battle vs Banette.
Jessie had to use her pokemon, not Harley's, but she cheated.
And i loved how Ash stopped James in time.

[Ciccone]

It was too strange for my tastes, since Jessie was fighting with Harley's Pokemon. That's a new one but I guess he really wanted vengence against May. I would have liked to see Jessie fighting May with her own team, but all we got was Harley 2.0, which is why I dislike this episode. It wasn't a good last contest as I had expected since Jessie was a character we'd seen a lot of before. Banette versus Squirtle was entertaining though. 4/10.

Ahhh... Memories. Busy with my re-watching of the series. I had to go diggin' for this old gif, I can't believe it still existed!:

[Willow's Tara]

One of the reasons I watch the anime is because I like the battles and how the character throws the pokeballs, I liked how that Skarmory trainer threw his pokeball.

Anyways not a bad episode, it was nice to see Frustration and Banette obviously didn't like Jessie that much (Although Cacturne did).

Of course Ash and Co are so clueless to not know Jessilna is Jessie. She used all of hers and James Pokemon and her hair is still the same yet they are clueless. Nice for May to win, I am glad the contests didn't take too long in this season.

This episode was good. Jessie and May battled a few times in the past, this this one was just fantastic. I don't remember many contest battles that ended in a draw, at least not until this episode. After the original 5 minutes, I think Squirtle's power has been revealed, it was tired but strong enough.

Jesse will try again in the next opportunity.

[Lance The Champ]

Harley is so desperae to beat May he hands his pokemon to Jessie... who has never won a ribbon

[Painkiller2001]

Seems like a prediction I made in the last episode might come true.
It looks like Harley may plan something to sabotage May in the Grand Festival.

I would of thought that when it came to a sudden death overtime in a contest it would be the first effective direct hit against the other that would break the tie.

It's funny how AshnCo. realize that Jessibella is Jessie in this episode, but they still haven't figured out that she's Jessibelle in Diamond & Pearl yet. Maybe they will towards the end of DP.

This episode was cool. Squirtle vs Bannette was a very cool battle. Jessie definitely did terrible trying to command Bannette and that cost her against Squirtle. Boy was Harley furious when Jessie lost to May. It was cool to see a tie and Sudden Death for the 1st time in a contest. It was cool to see Frustration attack used for the 1st time. I'm glad May won the Contest Ribbon.

79/100

[Littlemyuu]

Squirtle is cute...and strong too! Bannete was kinda cool too =D

An enjoyable battle. For some reason, I can't take Squirtle seriously as a battler, at least until May returns in Sinnoh, but suspending that disbelief it was a pretty good episode. Team Rocket and Harley weren't annoying and May and Jessie had a chance to shine in the final battle.

I think the problem is they made it so tiny.

Anyway I think this was a well done battle, certainly better than Squirtle learning icebeam out of nowhere in its first contest fight.

[Vern]

Actually, that might be the reason. Its small size even compared to other small Pokemon doesn't give it the appearance of a battler. It looks like it should be in a Togepi role or something.
