Summary

English Official Summary

Ash, Dawn, and Ash’s rival Barry are all competitors in Sandalstraw Town’s Pokémon ping-pong tournament, where Trainers form doubles teams with their Pokémon. Ash and Dawn warm up with a practice match, but Dawn’s partner Ambipom smashes the ball so hard, it nearly hits a passing ping-pong player. As Barry later explains, that player is none other than O, the defending tournament champion! When practice is over and the tournament begins, Jessie and Meowth are among the competitors. But when Meowth gets carried away and uses a Pokémon move to slice the ball into bits, they’re disqualified! Ash and Pikachu are taken out by an experienced player and his Farfetch’d, but Dawn and Ambipom beat a Trainer and Alakazam to advance to the second round. Agile Ambipom can use its tails to return just about any shot, and as O watches from the sidelines, he can hardly believe Ambipom is new to the sport! Dawn and Ambipom defeat their next opponent, and now it’s Barry’s turn to take on O. O and Shiftry make short work of Barry and Empoleon—that means O is Dawn’s next opponent. Though O quickly takes the lead against Dawn and Ambipom, Dawn is determined to fight back. But when she tries to return Shiftry’s shot, it smashes her paddle into pieces! As Dawn helplessly watches, Ambipom takes over, using its tails to play O and Shiftry at the same time. Ambipom wins the second of their three matches and Dawn gets a replacement paddle for the third match, but O still wins and moves on to win the entire tournament. However, he’s so impressed by Ambipom that he offers to take it on as a student. Dawn doesn’t know what to do, but she sees how much Ambipom enjoys ping-pong. So she leaves the decision to Ambipom: pursue Pokémon ping-pong, or stay with Dawn and her Contests? Ambipom wants to play ping-pong, so it joins O and heads to O’s training center in Kanto. Our heroes say a fond farewell to their old friend, who surely has a bright future in Pokémon sports!

Finnish Official Summary

Kun Pokémon-pingisottelu on alkamaisillaan, Ash ja Pikachu ovat jo varmistaneet osallistuvansa (samoin kuin Jessie, naamioituneena Jessilynlyniksi ja Meowth parinaan), mutta sitten myös Dawn ja Ambipom päättävät osallistua, mikä ilahduttaa Barryä. Turnausmuotoinen kilpailu alkaa, ja vaikka Jessilynlynin ja Ashin joukkueet karsiutuvat alkuvaiheessa, Dawn ja Ambipom pärjäävät hienosti ja voittavat parin toisensa jälkeen. Barry ja Empoleon haastavat hallitsevan mestarin, vähän varttuneemman kouluttajan nimeltä O. O osoittautuu kuitenkin ylivoimaiseksi ja Barry ja Empoleon häviävät. Ambipomin taidot vievät Dawnin ja Ambipomin finaaliotteluun asti ja hekin kohtaavat O:n ja hänen Shiftrynsä. Kilpailun voittoon vaaditaan kolme otteluvoittoa, ja vaikka Dawnin ja Ambipomin joukkue voittaakin ensimmäisen ottelun, O ja Shiftry päihittävät heidät lopulta. O on kuitenkin vaikuttunut Ambipomin häikäisevistä pingistaidoista ja kysyy Dawnilta, voisiko hän saada lahjakkaan Pokémonin koulutettavakseen. Dawn on aluksi kahden vaiheilla, mutta ymmärtää sitten, että sitä Ambipom haluaa: tulla Pokémon-pingismestariksi. Kun Dawn tajuaa, mitä hänen on tehtävä, hän antaa Ambipomin mennä O:n mukaan ja jättää hyvästinsä rakkaalle ja innostuneelle Pokémonilleen – tietäen että teki oikean ratkaisun.

Russian Official Summary

Перед самым началом состязаний по пинг-понгу принять в них участие решают не только Эш с Пикачу и Джесси с Мяутом, но и Доун с Амбипомом. Барри остаётся очень доволен этим фактом. Впрочем, Эш и Джесси выбивают с турнира довольно быстро, а вот Доун с Амбипомом оказываются потрясающе сильной командой, преодолевая одного соперника за другим. Барри с Эмполеоном  приходится сразиться с действующим чемпионом, более старшим тренером по имени О. Разумеется, О одерживает верх, и Барри приходится распрощаться с турниром. Невероятные способности Амбипома, тем временем, выводят Доун с финал, где ей придётся сразиться всё с тем же О и его Шифти. Матч состоит из трёх раундов. Доун удаётся взять первый раунд, но О и Шифти оказываются слишком сильны, и Доун с Амбипомом оказываются лишь вторыми. Впрочем, О остаётся под впечатлением от игры Амбипома и просит Доун оставить его с ним ради серии тренировок. Сначала Доун не знает, что ответить, но потом понимает, что Амбипом мечтает о том, чтобы стать мастером пинг-понга. В итоге она отпускает своего полюбившегося покемона и прощается с ним, зная, что поступает правильно.

Norwegian Official Summary

I det Pokémon Ping Pong konkurransen skal til å begynne, har Ash og Pikachu allerede blitt enige om å delta (men også Jessie, forkledd som Jessilynlyn og på lag med Meowth), men så bestemmer Dawn og Ambipom seg også for å delta, til Barrys store tilfredsstillelse. Kampene i turneringen er nå i gang, og selv om både Jessilynlyn og Ash sitt lag blir slått ut tidlig, viser Dawn og Ambipom seg å være formidable, og de slår det ene laget etter det andre. Barry og Empoleon skal ut mot den regjerende mesteren, en eldre trener kalt O, men O viser seg å være overlegen og Barry/Empoleon laget blir slått ut. Men Ambipoms evner fører Dawn/Ambipom laget helt til den siste kampen, hvor de skal ut mot O og hans Shiftry. De må vinne tre runder for å vinne kampen. Dawn/Ambipom vinner første runde, men O og Shiftry viser seg å være for sterke, og Dawn og Ambipom blir beseiret. Men O er veldig imponert av Ambipoms fantastiske Ping Pong ferdigheter, og spør Dawn om han kan ta med seg den begavede Pokémon for å trene. Dawn er nølende med en gang, men innser etter hver at dette er Ambipoms ønske: å bli en stor Pokémon Ping Pong spiller. Så, når hun vet hva hun må gjøre, lar hun Ambipom dra av sted med O, og sier farvel til sin høyt elskede og entusiastiske Pokémon – vel vitende om at hun gjorde det rette.

Swedish Official Summary

Medan man förbereder sig för att dra igång Pokémon Pingis-tävling, har Ash och Pikachu redan gått med på att delta (liksom Jessie, förklädd till Jessilynlyn, i par med Meowth), vilket senare även Dawn och Ambipom gör – till Barrys förtjusning. Matcherna börjar, upplagda som en Turnering, och även om såväl Jessilynlyns och Ashs lag blir utslagna tidigt, visar sig Dawns och Ambipoms lag vara verkligt formidabelt, och de slår ut lag efter lag. Barry och Empoleon möter den nuvarande mästaren, en äldre tränare vid namn O, men O visar sig vara överväldigande och laget med Barry/Empoleon blir utslagna. Men Ambipoms förmåga leder Dawn/Ambipom-laget vidare ända till sista matchen, där man möter O och hans Shiftry. Det krävs tre set-vinster för att vinna matchen, och Dawn/Ambipom-laget vinner första set, men O och Shiftry visar sig för starka och Dawn och Ambipom besegras. Men O är väldigt imponerad av Ambipoms fantastiska skicklighet i Pingis, och frågar Dawn om han kan ta med sig och träna denna begåvade Pokémon. Obeslutsam till en början, inser Dawn att vad Ambipom önskar, är att bli en stor Pokémon Pingis-spelare. Så medveten om vad hon måste göra, låter hon Ambipom följa med O, och tar farväl av sin älskade och entusiastiska Pokémon – i vetskap om att hon har gjort det rätta.

Danish Official Summary

Mens forberedelserne til Pokémon Ping Pong konkurrencen er i fuld gang, har Ash og Pikachu allerede besluttet sig for at deltage (lige som Jessie forklædt som Jessilynlyn og Meowth), og så vil Dawn og Ambipom til Barrys store fryd også være med. Den stor turnering går i gang, og kampen kan begynde. Og mens både Jessilynlyns og Ash’ hold hurtigt bliver slået ud, er Dawn og Ambipoms hold ikke mindre end formidabelt, idet de slår det ene hold efter det andet. Barry og Empoleon spiller mod den nuværende mester, en ældre træner ved navn O, men O er for stor en mundfuld, og Team Barry/Empoleon taber. Men Ambipoms store talent fører Team Dawn/Ambipom helt til finalen, hvor de står over for O og hans Shiftry. Team Dawn/Ambipom, der skal bruge tre sejre for at vinde kampen, vinder den første omgang, men O og Shiftry er for stærke, og Dawn og Ambipom taber kampen. Men O er yderst imponeret over Ambipoms fantastiske talent for Ping Pong og spørger Dawn, om han må tage den talentfulde Pokémon med sig og træne den. Til at starte med tøver Dawn, men så indser hun, at det er Ambipoms ønske: at blive en stor Ping Pong-spiller. Da hun nu har besluttet sig, lader hun Ambipom tage med O og tager afsked med sin elskede og spændte Pokémon i bevidstheden om, at hun har gjort det rigtige.

Well you know when the instrumental Chiisaki Mono music plays, someone is leaving the show. It seems to be their favorite music now for main characters parting the series. An interesting twist for the character of Aipom, but it seemed to fit its overall personality well. It was nice to see some good flashback scenes.

This episode was mad awsome! However, I was sad that Ambipom had left. That's what I did to my Infernape too.
