Pokemon the Series Season 8 Episode 34 From Brags to Riches

Ash and his friends have arrived in a bustling town where the Pokemon Contest Grand Festival is being held. May, who has been competing in contests throughout their journey, is thrilled to finally have the chance to participate in the Grand Festival and show off her skills as a Pokemon coordinator.

As the gang explores the town, they come across a group of wealthy individuals who are betting on the outcome of the Pokemon contests. May is confident in her abilities and enters the competition, but quickly realizes that these wealthy individuals have a lot of influence on the judges and the outcome of the contest.

Determined to compete fairly, May tries her best to showcase her Pokemon's talents, but it seems that the wealthy bettors have already decided who will win. To make matters worse, May's main rival, Harley, is also competing in the contest, using his underhanded tactics to sway the judges in his favor.

Meanwhile, Ash and his friends meet a young girl named Fantina, who happens to be a former Grand Festival winner and May's idol. Impressed by May's determination, Fantina takes her under her wing and helps her prepare for the final round of the competition.

In the final round, May gives it her all and impresses the audience with her performance. However, Harley's cheating ways and the influence of the wealthy bettors make it seem like May doesn't stand a chance. Despite this, May refuses to give up and with the help of her Pokemon and her friends, she delivers a stunning performance that leaves the judges and the audience in awe.

In the end, May is declared the winner of the Grand Festival, proving that hard work and determination can overcome any obstacle. With her victory, May gains a newfound confidence in her abilities as a coordinator and is eager to continue her journey with Ash and her friends.
