Synopsis

On their way to their respective homes, Ash and May enter a contest in Terracotta Town. Appealing with Pikachu and Eevee, Ash and May both get past the appeal stage and end up having to battle each other. Ash uses Sceptile, and May uses her newly evolved Blaziken, and the battle is fierce. However, despite the type advantage, both Pokémon are evenly matched. With 20 seconds left of battling, both Pokémon fire one last SolarBeam and Overheat attacks, respectively. They collide, and a thick cloud of smoke coats the arena. Which Pokémon remains standing...?

Trivia

  • Pokémon Symphonic Medley is used as background music during the battle between Ash and May.
  • May's Combusken and Blaziken are both listed in the credits separately, as they have different voice actors.
  • The flag on the Team Rocket mecha depicts a variant of the Flag of Japan and Mount Fuji.
  • The Japanese version featured a banner promoting the unofficial contest using a recolored version of the American logo for the Pokémon franchise (the shows it being the word "Pokémon" in red letters bordered in a yellow outline, while the actual logo has yellow letters that are bordered in blue).
  • This episode's title is a pun on the saying "once more with feeling".
