It is the Grand Festival, and Harley is waiting in the waiting room among the other participants, waiting for his turn to perform for the first round, silently thinking of a way to sabotage May again so she wouldn't win, when his Cacturne suddenly nudges him, pointing to the screen on which everyone can watch the performances going on on stage. Curious, Harley looks up from taking care of his Banette and looks at the screen to see you, someone he's never seen before, doing your performance. The moment he started looking at you, the soulmate string attached to his pinky finger tugs slightly towards the screen, and Harley understands what that means: you are his soulmate. That thought makes him turn red, and he can't believe the luck he has that his soulmate is participating at the same contest as him. This makes him smile, and he decides to do everything he can to impress you, completely forgetting about May, who noticed and raised an eyebrow, getting slightly suspicious, and there's no doubt she'd most likely tell you not to trust Harley.
