Episode PicturePokémon Smash Episode 20, Whose is Togepi!? / The Chief and Professor Head to the Soccer Team's Arena in the 'Pokémon Quiz Caravan' / The Latest News on the Movie 'Victini and the Dark Hero - Zekrom'! (トゲピーはだれのもの!? / 「ポケモンクイズキャラバン」でサッカーチームのところへ所長と博士が出動! / 映画「ビクティニと黒き英雄 ゼクロム」の最新情報!), aired on Sunday in Japan.

The announcer started off the show by teasing the audience with a preview of two movie posters, one revealed, Victini and the Dark Hero - Zekrom and other one had a big question mark covering it. He then said "Let's kick off!" as the main portion of the show began. Shoko-tan, Golgo and Robert hear a lot of loud construction noises and they realize that Professor Red wasn't with them. Akiyama wonders if Professor Red was working on his inventions again. Red then shows up with a hammer in hand and tells off Robert that he his working on inventions that will award him the Nobel Prize. Red walks out of the room mad that Robert was making fun of his inventions.

Shoko-tan introduces this weeks rerun episode as part of the Pokémon Library and he also announces this weeks theme, Let's love and look after the Pokémon! (愛情を込めてポケモンの面倒を見よう!). This weeks Pokémon Library rerun episode was Whose is Togepi!? (トゲピーはだれのもの!?) from the original series. A full summary of that episode is available in the episode guide. Since Professor Red wasn't there to do his normal saying, Shoko said the go-to line 'OK! Pokémon Library!' to start the repeat episode. She couldn't do the popping noise with her finger and it ended up more like a kiss than a pop.

After the repeat episode, the International division girls showed up and moments later, the familiar Back to the Future theme played with Professor Red appearing with his latest invention the RED061 - The Revised PokéSmash Face Rejoined (ポケスマ顔合わせレジュンド改) machine. The original RED052 was showcased on Pokémon Sunday 261. The machine splits each of the cast members faces in half and then joins them together to make a new combined face. The first face was Baba on the top and Golgo on the bottom. The second one was Maria on top and Akiyama on the bottom. The third one featured Hana on the top and Choi Hong-Man on the bottom. The forth one featured Misaki on top and Yamamoto on the bottom. The fifth one featured Baba on the top and Golgo on the bottom.

For this weeks Pokémon Quiz Caravan TIM and the Internation Division girls visited the Tatsunuma Tokyo Kids Soccer Club (東京都 辰沼少年サッカークラブ) where a bunch of Grade 4 soccer students greeted them.

The Hiyappu team ended up winning as the other team got the question right as well but they hit the post when they tired to score. The International Division girls got knocked out in the second round as Hana completely missed the net.

The next segment featured a '4 Legged Quiz' (3人4脚ばらまきクイズ) where teams of 3 had their legs tied up and they were sent out to find a specific Pokémon card based on type or information that was called out. Players would have to know the correct Pokémon information for the cards that were distributed throughout the school grounds and then return back to Red and Golgo.
