While Ash continues working with Snorunt to perfect its Ice Beam attack, he meets a downtrodden Pokémon coordinator who had lost all his ribbons to a suspicious band of three apparent pickpockets the day before. Ash works with Jenny to scout out the thieves, while May makes her debut Festival performance. Relying heavily on Harley’s malicious advice, she attempts to perform using only one of Skitty’s attacks, Assist. Never knowing what attack Assist will become, May gets off to a shaky start.
