The announcer introduced the show by saying: "And today our Pokémon Quiz Caravan will feature upcoming Pokémon movie. Yes! It's going to be a big bash! Stay with us! Pokémon Smash!". The Smash crew started off watching Akiyama walk in with a microphone pretending to be an idol. He then explained that July 1st is Children's Song Day (童謡の日 童謡=こどものために作られた歌). Akiyama then sang his original song (やまいも) in honor of the day.

Professor Red introduced this weeks rerun episode as part of the Pokémon Library. The theme for the episode was: Be prepared (ゆだんには注意). This weeks Pokémon Library rerun episode was Rocket Gang Disbands!? (ロケット団解散!?) from the Diamond and Pearl series. A full summary of that episode is available in the episode guide. Professor Red said his go-to line 'OK! Pokémon Library!' to start the repeat episode.

After the Pokémon Library episode, the International Division girls showed up and Baba introduced a Pokémon Smash version of a Caravan event 'Pokémon Puzzle Looking for differences quiz! (ポケモンパズルまちがい探しクイズ!)' that Robert worked on. The rest of the Smash crew tried to quickly put the puzzle together. Golgo wasn't happy with the picture and quickly moved on to the real quiz caravan.

Akiyama's potato song is just bizarre but typical Akiyama antics. It was funny to see Robert all join in though. Added the summary for this episode with all the quiz questions.
