www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/anime/pokemon_ag and click the middle pic of May, for those who don't know...
Clip and first thoughts:
Well, we see a trainer with a Dusclops Mask and an actual Dusclops, and this guy is clearly "The Phantom Coordinator". Also, it shows him as a kid, and how he used to have a Duskull... kinda like a repeat of the last ep. But the last one with Skitty/Delcatty was really good, and I'd love to see something about the history of a trainer's Duskull/Dusclops. Also, I believe that attack of a blue fireball is Will-O'-Wisp. Only other time we've ever seen a Dusclops was in movie 6 belonging to Butler, and it used a blue fireball attack which was indeed Will-O'-Wisp. This is the first appearance of Dusclops in the main Anime, though :)

Well, here's a rough translation, put into my own words. But it pretty much summarizes the text:
The day of the Vertanturf pre-Contest-Convention and Contest has come, and May is ready, having done a lot of training with help from a Legendary Coordinator. As they make a visit to the Contest Hall Pokemon Center, they see Shuu and his Roselia, who is injured badly. Then, Shuu explains that he was totally beaten in a battle by some mysterious masked Pokemon Trainer, who happens to be a Coordinator too. Therefore, with Roselia needing time to heal and that mysterious person in the contest, Shuu will not be participating in this contest. Ash then asks Shuu what this guy was like, because being the spirited battler he is, he's eager to find this trainer and challenge him to a battle...
Final thoughts:
So, this contest will be Shuu-less! Heh, that should be interesting, but even though Shuu is a jerk, Roselia is pretty cool. Oh well... Dusclops is cooler anyways =D. Wonder who Ash will use in this battle against Dusclops. Maybe Torkoal and it'll win this time... or maybe Treecko and it'll evolve :o. As for the contest, knowing the writers and what they've been doing as of late, it's unpredictable whether May will win or lose.
Time will tell.
Evidence May will win:
-She won at Fallarbor against a frikkin Medicham!
-The hero/heroine usually beats someone no one can beat.
-Slateport was only her first one.
-She's using Skitty, and it beat Ampharos!
Evidence May will lose:
-The writers like surprising us.
-Sometimes when a trainer is said to be really good, a few times the hero actually DOES lose, believe it or not. Richie.... Harrison... Trinity... and even Shuu at Slateport. Brawly and Wattson, too. Same with Gary in the end of Orange Islands.
-She lost at Slateport, and she's probably gonna lose at least one more contest. If not here, then Lilycove.
-She's using Skitty for the first time, and Beautifly lost the first time and won the second time.
Well, time will tell.
