Trivia

• In the VIZ Media mini-volumes of the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc, this round was collected in Volume 1.
• In the Japanese mini-volume Volume 1, this round was titled (Japanese: EPISODE 0 Episode 0).
• In Sapphire's fantasy of her Kirly and Ruby's Rara as a Gardevoir pair, the pose they make is a reference to Kamen Riders Ichigō and Nigō from the original Kamen Rider series. Her referring to the pair as "a duo of strength and skill" also ties into this.
