Synopsis

Template:Incomplete synopsis While Ash and co. are on their way to the Donamite with Stephan, Ash asks Stephan what kind of trainers enter the Donamite. Stephan replies by saying only trainers who take pride and have heated battles participate in the Donamite. Ash states that would be great training for his 7th gym match so he decides to enter. Iris and Cilan say they want to enter as well. Suddenly, Bianca crashes into the group but bumps into Stephan like a brick wall. Bianca then realizes she ran so fast, the crash sent Ash and Pikachu into a canal. Cilan dries Pikachu while Ash dries himself which the two aren't so happy about. Bianca apologizes and says she was in a hurry to sign up for the Donamite. Ash tells Bianca they were just on their way to the Donamite as well. So, everyone heads to the registration counter when Ash just so happens to see his rival, Trip! Ash greets Trip and Bianca asks Trip what Pokémon Trip is entering. Trip shows off his newly evolved Conkeldurr.

One of the errors

• While Bianca is fawning over Masaomi's Throh, the shading on her hair flashes to gray multiple times.
• During the final shot of all the Donamite competitors, the side of Throh's nose is colored red instead of black and Scraggy's arms are orange.
