Synopsis

Template:Incomplete synopsis Brock convinces Ash and Misty to go out of their way to meet Suzy, who is taking part in a Pokémon Contest. There they meet her close friend and rival, Zane, who has differing opinions on what makes a Pokémon beautiful.

Major events

  • Brock and Suzy enter the Breeder convention, but it is not revealed whether they win or lose.
  • Brock returns Vulpix to Suzy.
  • Suzy and Zane agree to open a Pokémon breeding center together.
For a list of all major events in the anime, please see the history page.

Debuts

Characters

Humans

Pokémon

Who's That Pokémon?: Quagsire

Pokémon entered in the contest:

Note: The camera scrolling of the camera shows that more were entered and only parts of the Pokémon are shown in some cases. Multiple members of the same species were also seen to be entered in some cases. (As Team Rocket were entry 259 and there were only 251 known Pokémon at this time, there had to be duplicates.)

Trivia

  • Brock states that he always knew Vulpix wasn't his and that he would have to return it one day, this episode being the moment.
  • This episode features a Contest for Pokémon Breeders. It is very different from those for Pokémon Coordinators introduced in later on.
    • Jessie's contest costume in that episode is reminiscent of the one seen in this episode.
  • The Exeggutor's appearance may be a reference to Takeshi's Paradise, where two identical-looking Exeggutor dance with Brock.
  • The white tuxedo Brock wears in this episode makes another appearance in The Heartbreak of Brock.
  • This episode's English title is the second to reference the movie, Beauty and the Beast. The first was Beauty and the Beach.
  • In this episode, Team Rocket uses a variation of their motto.

Errors

  • The Pokémon Team Rocket steal are not dressed up, despite all the Pokémon entered (besides Vulpix and Ninetales) being stylised for the contest.
  • Near the end of the episode, one contestant's Charizard has a orange belly.
