Blurb

On the third day of Professor Sycamore's Pokémon summer camp, all the teams get to make their own Pokévision video! Pokévision fans Serena and Shauna are extra excited, and Shauna tells Serena all about the famous Aria's latest Pokévision video and her performance at the Pokémon Showcase, where Pokémon performers show off their partnership in style!

While scouting for a good shooting location, Serena and Ash tumble into a ravine! Ash twists his ankle, and while Professor Sycamore organizes a rescue party, Ash and Serena have time to talk about finding their dreams…even if Serena isn't quite sure what hers is yet.

Errors

• During Shauna's explanation of what is a Pokémon Performer, there were multiple mistakes with the Furfrou that appeared.
  • The Star Trim Furfrou had its cyan star colored yellow and its bare ears colored white like its fur.
  • The Heart Trim Furfrou had its pink heart colored red and its bare ears colored white like its fur.
  • The Debutante Trim Furfrou had its yellow bow and collar colored cyan and the bow was on the right side of its head instead of its left.
  • The Dandy Trim Furfrou had the tips of its ears, its tie, its hair, the stripe on its hat, and its tail colored purple instead of green.
  • The Pharaoh Trim Furfrou had the tips of its ears, its stripes, and collar colored green instead of blue, the tip of its ear was left colored white, the black bare stripes on its ear were missing, it was portrayed much larger than the other four Furfrou, and the part of its body that would appear between the Heart and Debutante Trims Furfrou was not there.
• When Team Rocket slide down the cliff Ash and Serena fell into, Jessie is shown to have lipstick while still in disguise.
• At the end of the episode, the narrator states that Team Froakie, consisting of Ash and his friends, and Team Squirtle, consisting of Tierno, Trevor and Shauna, have the same amount of points. However, this is incorrect. On Professor Sycamore's points screen early in the episode and after the first activity with points, Team Squirtle has 10 points, and Team Froakie has 3 points. For the second activity Team Froakie gains 10 points and Team Squirtle gains 0 points. This would bring the total for the end of the episode to 13 points for Team Froakie and 10 points for Team Squirtle.
