Robert then head off to the Tokyo Pokémon Center (ポケモンセンタートウキョートウキョー) where they spend the day as employees of the store packing goods for customers. They meet Kozue Kondō (近藤梢恵さん) who helps them learn how to help with the service. Their first customers didn't go well as Akiyama forgot to give them the bag with their stuff before they left the store.

Upon returning to the PokéSun Headquarters, Robert find out that Jun'ichi Masuda (増田順一) had sent them a box with more information about Pokémon Black and White. Shoko-tan opens the box to reveal a disc and the video is played. The video reveals a building in the Isshu Region (イッシュ地方) designed like a honeycomb (ハチの巣のような建物). The video then switches to desert area where a sandstorm is blowing (砂嵐が吹き荒れる砂漠のよな場所). The third clip shows a drawbridge in the Isshu Region lowering (イッシュ地方のとある「はね橋」).

Robert battled TIM and Shoko-tan in Pokémon Battle Revolution (ポケモンバトルレボリューション) in a 3 on 3 'Dream Battle' featuring Entei, Raikou and Suicune. First up was Baba using Raikou vs Shoko using Weavile. Baba was able to Shoko. Next up was Golgo who used his Octillery to battle an already injured Raikou. Robert decide to switch and Akiyama with Suicune battles Golgo and Octillery. Suicune uses Sheer Cold (ぜったいれいど) and almost knocks out Octillery. It was wearing a Focus Band (きあいのハチマキ) which protected it from fainting. Golgo then quickly uses Hyper Beam (はかいこうせん) to knock out Akiyama's Suicune. Robert cannot believe what has just happened as Golgo and Shoko-tan celebrate their lucky victory.

Yamamoto sends out his Entei and it quickly finishes off Golgo's Octillery. With only one Pokémon remaining, Professor Red sends out his Metagross. Metagross starts off with a Comet Punch but Entei follows up with a Flare Blitz that takes out half of its hit points. Yamamoto follows up with another Flare Blitz to finish off Professor Red's Metagross and to win the battle for Robert.

Shoko-tan shows a treasure chest that is locked and can only be opened if they play PokéSun Curling and get one of the rocks close enough to the target on the floor. Akiyama Rock goes first but goes well past the target and hits a barrier that had black ink on it that covered his face. Baba went next but this time his rock was short and he got whipped cream pies in the face. The crew then uses Akiyama Rock again to hit the stationary Baba into the target which unlocks the chest. The 7 new Pokémon silhouettes that were revealed in this months Corocoro were revealed on the show.
