Pokémon Smash 105 - Year 3 Starts!
Episode 105 marked the start of the 3rd year of Pokémon Smash. The announcer introduced the show by saying: "This week we'll proudly present to you the renewal special! Meet our new members on Pokémon Smash!". Yamamoto noticed that there was two big red curtains on the set and wondered what was behind them. Golgo informed that that were was going to be changes at Pokémon Enterprises in October but he'd inform everyone a bit later as to what they were.

The International Division girls introduced this weeks rerun episode as part of the Pokémon Library. The theme for the episode was: Even if you're separated, as long as your hearts are connected, everything will be all right (はなれていても心が通じていれば大丈夫！). This weeks Pokémon Library rerun episode was Fly Shaymin! Beyond the Sky!!(飛べシェイミ！ 空の彼方へ！！) 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, Golgo finally revealed what was being the curtains. Figures of Black Kyurem and White Kyurem were revealed. The arch was also changed to include Kimori, Pochama, Lucario, Emonga and Eievui.

Shoko-tan then noticed a switch on her table. She pressed it and a light shone on her. A new chair was behind Golgo's desk which was a nice an comfortable executive chair with a massage function. Yamamoto went over to where his desk was only to see that it was replaced with a cardboard box. Robert was then sent out to meet the new members of Pokémon Enterprises.
Robert went out to a field and waited until Lucario appeared with a bunch of dancers. Lucario rejoined the crew after having spent some time in Brazil. Lucario then helped introduce the newest member of the International Division, Niccolo Marangon (ニコロ・マランゴン). Niccolo Marangon is from Brazil and he joined the Pokémon Enterprises International Division at age 10. He was chosen by Director Lucario who was in Brazil for a few years. Niccolo is very good at soccer and is fluent in the Portuguese language. To show off his soccer skills, he had a soccer shootout against Robert. He scored on Akiyama, Baba saved his leaving the deciding shot to be against Yamamoto. He scored on Yamamoto. He then did a shootout against Lucario who was unable to save the shot.

Lucario then said the next new member of the International Division was from France. Noemi Trijasson joined the Pokémon Enterprises International Division at age 9. She is a small girl but she is very tomboyish. She skated by Robert and she looks up to Maria Israel Cialdini another member of the International Division. She then sang and danced to Can You Say the Pokémon? BW (ポケモン言えるかな？ＢＷ)
After Noemi's introduction, Lucario took the group to meet the next new member. The boy came out dancing and then Akiyama told Yamamoto to go out there and dance so the two of them had a dance battle. The guy introduced himself as ニース （マクヴィカーニース） of Canadian decent but it is unclear how his name is spelt. He then showed off his drumming skills.

The final new member was finally introduced as Maru Kiuchi (木内 舞留) and she is a mysterious girl from Russia. She was 10 years old when she joined the International Division. The first thing they noticed about her was she was very cute and Akiyama teased Niccolo about her. Not too much else is known about her as she doesn't talk much.

The new International Division members were then introduced to the rest of the Smash crew. Zoroark got promoted to "Chief of Pokémon Enterprise's Moscow Department", which is just a way of writing it out of the show. Hana, Maria and Misaki were "transferred", and their new job is to report on kids all around the world who love Pokémon (世界のポケモンずきのこどもたちの調査へ！). The four of them all departed the show.

Junchi Masuda then showed up in studio for a 'Pokémon B2W2' Battle Lecture. First off though he showed off GameFreak's new Nintendo 3DS game 'Harmo Knight'. The game features a few Pokémon cameos including a Pikachu hot air balloon. He then briefly discussed battle strategy with everyone. There was no ending in this episode.

Wired Magazine - The Pokémon Plot: How One Cartoon Inspired the Army to Dream Up a Seizure Gun
The popular magazine Wired posted an article in September of 2012 that in 1998, a secret United States Army intelligence analysis suggested a new way to take out enemies by using electromagnetic energy until their brains overload and they start to convulse. The idea for the weapon actually came from the Pocket Monsters episode Computer Soldier Porygon (でんのうせんしポリゴン) which only aired once in Japan as a scene where Pikachu uses its Thunderbolt caused approximately 700 children to have seizures. Excerpts from the Wired article are posted below. The full article is available at Wired.
Perhaps the most disturbing item on the Army’s nonlethal wish list: a weapon that would disrupt the chemical pathways in the central nervous system to induce a seizure. The idea appears to have come from an episode of Pokemon.
“The photic-induced seizure phenomenon was borne out demonstrably on December 16, 1997 on Japanese television when hundreds of viewers of a popular cartoon were treated, inadvertently, to photic seizure induction,” the analysis noted. That cartoon was Pokemon, and the incident received worldwide attention. About 700 viewers showed symptoms of epilepsy — mostly vomiting — an occasional, if strange, occurrence with TV shows and videogames due to rapid, flashing lights.

The Pokémon Plot: How One Cartoon Inspired the Army to Dream Up a Seizure Gun
Application of “electromagnetic pulses” could force neurons to all fire at once, causing a “disruption of voluntary muscle control,” reads a description of a proposed seizure weapon, contained in a declassified document from the Army’s National Ground Intelligence Center. “It is thought by using a method that would actually trigger nerve synapses directly with an electrical field, essentially 100% of individuals would be susceptible to seizure induction.”Perhaps the most disturbing item on the Army’s nonlethal wish list: a weapon that would disrupt the chemical pathways in the central nervous system to induce a seizure.

Pokémon the Movie: Kyurem vs. The Sword of Justice - Teaser Trailer
Source: http://www.youtube.com/user/pokemon
The 100th episode of Pokémon Smash aired on Sunday, September 2nd, 2012 after almost 2 years since it premiered on October 3rd, 2010. The 100th episode featured: The Promise with Lugia! / A Detailed Summary of the Pokémon Movie 15th Anniversary Event 'Pikachu the Live 2012' and the Roleplaying Winners from the ongoing cosplay contest appeared on stage at the Anniversary Event.

The regular opening sequence and ending did not air in this episode. The episode started off with Robert informing viewers that it was the 100th episode of the series. Baba then said the 100th episode would include Pikachu the Live 2012 and the remaining part of that would be shown on next weeks episode. Baba then did the regular Professor Red go to line but slightly modified: "100th Anniversary Special! Go!" (100回記念スペシャル!).
After the Pokémon Library episode, scenes from the Pikachu the Live 2012 concert were shown. The event took place on August 16th, 2012 at Pacifico Yokohama National Convention Hall. The rest of the Smash cast joined Robert on the Smash set just as Nyarth from Rocket Gang took over the television feed and greeted the Smash audience with a "Rockenyarning (Rocket+nya/Nyarth+morning)" (ロケニャーニング！), a variation of "Pokémorning" that's used on the show. Nyarth then informs them that the Rocket Gang has kidnapped the children and taken them to the Pokemon Movie World. Obviously, the entire Smash crew gets angry and heads off to save them thus starting the coverage of the actual stage show.

The stage show starts off with Golgo greeting the audience with a "Pokémorning". The Smash girls show up and then Robert showed up wearing noh masks. Baba and Yamamoto take their masks off but Golgo has to yell at Akiyama to take his off. He finally does only to show that he was wearing similar makeup underneath that matched the mask. Professor Red then showed up and pushed in his latest invention, the RED 076 Time Travelling into the Movies (ときわたりでエイガハイレール). Shoko-tan talks to the car but when Robert tried to talk to it, it didn't respond to them until Akiyama yelled at it. The entire cast got into the vehicle and it turned to show that Robert were peddling to get it to work. They then peddle off the stage.

The vehicle returned in a smaller form with all the cast members in it. Shinji Miyazaki was on hand as the live orchestra's conductor as they played the tracks from the first, second and third movies. The Smash crew returned on stage to see the kids that had been kidnapped were in a cage. The only way to get to them was up stairs that were blocked by ice crystals. Akiyama then noticed a couple of Unknown. Golgo wonder what Akiyama is doing and he explains there are Unknown but they disappear just as Golgo goes to look. Then suddenly a bunch of them show up. Then then spell out: Akiyama's Stupid (あきやまアホ).

The Smash crew finally manage to move one of the crystals only to see that Rocket Gang thugs are at the top with some big 'boulders'. Baba and Yamamoto each tried to get up but were hit by the boulders. Akiyama then tried to get up but decided to go back down. The international girls then all decided to go up at the same time and they managed to get up and free the cosplay winner kids from the cage. The winners were then revealed.

Rica Matsumoto (松本梨香) then sang Becoming an Arrow! (やじるしになって!), the first opening theme for Pocket Monsters Best Wishes Season 2 live for the audience.

The crew then fast forwarded to the 4th Pocket Monsters movie and a short clip of Shinji Miyazaki conducting tracks from the 4th, 5th and 6th movies was shown. Nyarth then returns and introduces the Rocket Gang Magic Show. A couple of Rocket Gang magicians show up and Maria tries to stop one but she is quickly subdued and put in a box. Maria is then compressed to just her head and feet. Red and Hana come to Maria's rescule and they uncompress her. The Rocket Gang Magicians then move Baba and Yamamoto's heads to their chest. Akiyama then starts crying and then manages to fix Baba and Yamamoto. Golgo sneezes and Baba and Yamamoto's heads once again go to their chest and Golgo farts to return Yamamoto's head back to its normal position.

Golgo was then put in a Sword box and it was put on fire but he managed to escape from being injured. Then more of the cosplay contest kids came out on stage to show off their costumes. Asuca Hayashi (林明日香) then came out on stage and sang the 6th ending theme song Chiisaki Mono (小さきもの).
