Pokémon Smash Episode 8, Lots of Subame, Lots of Peril! I got one in the Touka Forest!! / TM Akiyama Teaches About 'Venom Shock' in the BW TV Program 'Live Technically' / A Pokémon Battle between the Third Champion, Group Member Yamamoto, and AAA! (スバメがいっぱい危険がいっぱい！　トウカの森でゲットだぜ！！ / BW内のTV番組「わざとくらす」に合わせてワザマシン秋山が「ベノムショック」を教える / ３代目王者・山本隊員とAAAがポケモンバトル！), aired today in Japan.

The episode starts with Golgo being to do his normal "PokéMorning!" salute but before he does he decides that Akiyama should do a salute this time. Akiyama is surprised that he is given the task but is willing to do so. He makes up his own salute which includes fist pumping and then ramen slurping from a bowl at the end. Everyone thinks the salute is a bit strange but do it with Akiyama nonetheless.

Golgo introduces this weeks rerun episode is part of the Pokémon Library and Red announces this weeks theme 'It's important not to get disappointed!' （くじけない気持ちが大事！）. This weeks rerun episode was Lots of Subame, Lots of Peril! I got one in the Touka Forest!! (スバメがいっぱい危険がいっぱい！　トウカの森でゲットだぜ！！) from the Advanced Generation series. A full summary of the episode is available on the episode guide.　Professor Red starts singing lyrics from Daiji MAN Brothers Band (大事MANブラザーズバンド) song Sorega Daiji (それが大事) but adds his own lyrics at the end for Subame (負けない事 投げ出さない事 逃げ出さない事 信じ抜く事 スバメがんばれ). Unlike last weeks episode when Red had to do the "Let's! Pokémon Library!" salute with Shoko-tan and was a bit embarrassed, Professor Red did the "Let's! Pokémon Library!" call that imitates the Fall in Love (フォーリンラブ) duo salute with Mijumaru.

Professor Red then introduces the Pokémon Library vote that allows viewers to choose between two episodes. Golgo suggests viewers vote for Bivouac by Iwark (イワークでビバーク) while Professor Red suggests The Jungle Trio! Hot Spring Battle!! (ジャングルのさんびき！おんせんバトル！！).
