Pokémon Smash Episode 31, The Maid Cafe Miltank! / The New Character to Succeed Yadon Akiyama Makes His Entrance!? / A Pokémon Battle for the Original King of Pokémon Battles, Group Member Baba! (メイドカフェのミルタンク！ / ヤドン秋山をこえる新ゆるキャラ登場！？ / ポケモンバトルには初代王者・馬場隊員が登場！), aired on Sunday in Japan.

Golgo started off the show with a little dance routine 'Up Up Side Side Sha-wing PokéMorning! (Lit. Up Up Side Side Make a Circle PokéMorning! 縦　縦　横　横 マル描いて　ポケモーニング！) which the rest of the crew did as well. Golgo then told everyone that it was May 5th (５　８だろ go hachi daro) which sort of sounds like Gōya(ゴーヤ). Golgo was stretching a bit to get the crew to make the connection but he then gave everyone some fried Goya which Misaki quickly pretended to like. Golgo then decided to feed her some more and then crowned her the champion.

Yamamoto introduced this weeks rerun episode as part of the Pokémon Library and he also announces this weeks theme, Pokémon are precious partners (ポケモンは大事なパートナー). This weeks Pokémon Library rerun episode was The Maid Cafe Miltank! (メイドカフェのミルタンク！) from the Diamond and Pearl series. A full summary of that episode is available in the episode guide. Red said the go-to line 'OK! Pokémon Library!' to start the repeat episode.

After the Pokémon Library episode, Misaki and Hana showed up with Akiyama Yadon's tail and face mask and were wondering what they were for. The narrator explained that during Pokémon Sunday, Akiyama often did segments dressed up as Yadon. Then they but the outfit on Misaki. Akiyama then made the announcement that a new character to succeed Yadon Akiyama would be making its entrance.

Baba and Yamamoto then are standing around in a field awaiting Akiyama who comes dressed up as a Yanappu. The narrator indicates that Dent in the anime Best Wishes also has a Yanappu. Akiyama also joked that the sound Yanappu make sounds like a napsack. Baba then pointed out that Akiyama had tap over his nipples and wonder why he did that. He explained that he covered them up because Yanappu don't seem to have them but Baba said it just brought more attention to that fact with the tape. Akiyama then read the dex entry for Yanappu which states: "It shares the leaf on its head with weary-looking Pokémon. These leaves are known to relieve stress." Akiyama then asks Yamamoto to get the mirror behind his back so he can find a good leaf from his head to give to Baba to eat which would hopefully reduce his stress but he couldn't eat it all because it tasted so bad. He then gave him a different leaf which he thought would taste better but Baba just ended up spitting it out too. Giving up on Yanappu, Akiyama leaves to change into a different outfit.

Akiyama returns but this time he's dressed up as a Victini. The narrator then reads the dex entry for Victini which states: "It creates an unlimited supply of energy inside its body, which it shares with those who touch it." Akiyama Victini had already touched Yamamoto and to show the power that Victini has Yamamoto was forced to play hat-hammer janken with a person that was stronger and had a bigger hammer. Yamamoto won the first two rounds bun ended up loosing round 3 and the hit ended up breaking his helmet. After seeing Yamamoto lose, Akiyama had second thoughts about being Victini.

Black/White Pokémon Cosplay (黒白なりきりポケモン)

A new Black/White Pokémon Cosplay (黒白なりきりポケモン) event was announced a few weeks ago and the narrator reminded viewers of the upcoming event. The event will be put on to promote the new movies Victini and the Light Hero - Reshiram / Victini and the Dark Hero - Zekrom (ビクティニと白き英雄レシラム / ビクティニと黒き英雄ゼクロム) and it will be split up by the Zekrom/Black Team and Reshiram/White Team. Each team has specific Pokémon that people can cosplay and they can be found on the different sides of the movie poster.

People wishing to cosplay as the following Pokémon would be on Team Zekrom/Black Team (Robert): Kibago, Pokabu, Victini, Zekrom, Tsutarja, Sazandora, Lanculus, Nageki, Bivanilla, Landlos.
People wishing to cosplay as the following Pokémon would be on Reshiram/White Team (International Division Girls): Yanappu, Pikachu, Reshiram, Mijumaru, Golugh, Gothiruselle, Dageki, Shikijika, Kumasyun.

Akiyama returned and this time he was dressed up as Maracacchi (マラカッチ). Yamamoto and Akiyama looked over the costume to realize it had some spikes on it. The narrator then read the dex entry which states: "Arid regions are their habitat. They move rhythmically, making a sound similar to maracas." Yamamoto then turned on a stereo and played the current Best Wishes ending song Can You Say the Pokémon? BW (ポケモン言えるかな？ＢＷ) to see if Akiyama Maracacchi could dance. Baba who had a box to emulate a Koaruhie, squirted water at Akiyama to see if he could be distracted from his dancing. Akiyama quickly scratched off Maracacchi.

Switching locations Akiyama dressed up as Dotekkotsu (ドテッコツ) this time. The narrator read the dex entry which states: "They strengthen their bodies by carrying steel beams. They show off their big muscles to their friends." A wrestler showed up and began flexing his muscles. A bit intimidated, Akiyama began pole dancing with the steel I-bar but Baba quickly stopped him and read the dex entry from Pocket Monsters White for Dotekkotsu which states: dex entry which states: "This Pokémon is so muscular and strongly built that even a group of wrestlers could not make it budge an inch." Another wrestler showed up and they both tried to move Akiyama Dotekkotsu by using a lot of wrestling moves on him. It wasn't long until they proved the dex entry didn't apply to Akiyama Dotekkotsu.

Akiyama changed one last time and this time he dressed up as a Muggyo. The last Pokémon to be revealed in the current Best Wishes ending song Can You Say the Pokémon? BW (ポケモン言えるかな？ＢＷ) is Muggyo. Baba and Yamamoto were both surprised that Akiyama picked such a lame and boring Pokémon like Muggyo. Baba read the dex entry which states: "Its skin is very hard, so it is unhurt even if stepped on by sumo wrestlers. It smiles when transmitting electricity." After hearing the dex entry Akiyama was quite afraid but when the sumo wrestler got on his back he realized that it didn't hurt. They then gave Akiyama a lightbulb to see if he could fullfil the last part of the dex entry which he did and he lit up the lightbulb while smiling. Will Akiyama's new character be Muggyo?!

(こどものひだよぜんいんしゅうごう / ボビー・オロゴン乱入でポケスマカードバトル大混乱！？ / ポケモンバトル初登場のミサキが奇襲をしかける！), aired on Sunday in Japan.

The announcer started the show by saying "Okay, it's time again! Let's kick off Pokémon Entertainment show, Pokémon Smash! Here we go!". The show starts with the crew playing with a remote controlled Pikachu and Mijumaru on the floor. They are new toys from Takara Tomy Pokécon Here and There Pikachu and Mijumaru (ポケコン あっちこっちピカチュウ・ミジュマル). The remove looks like a monster ball and Shoko-tan passed it to Golgo who wanted to try it. Yamamoto suggested they have a race which Yamamoto ended up winning with Mijumaru. A commercial for the toys also aired during one of the breaks in the live action segment.

Baba introduced this weeks rerun episode as part of the Pokémon Library and he also announces this weeks theme, Everyone has a chance to become a hero!(だれにでもヒーローになるチャンスがある！). This weeks Pokémon Library rerun episode was It's Children's Day, Everyone Gathers (こどものひだよぜんいんしゅうごう) from the original series. A full summary of that episode is available in the episode guide. Red said the go-to line 'OK! Pokémon Library!' to start the repeat episode.

After the Pokémon Library episode aired, the Internation Division girls showed up minus Maria who was still absent. Some of the Smash crew members decided to recommend various sporting attractions in Pokémon Black and White. Akiyama was the first person and he recommended walking across the Skyarrow Bridge. Hana went next and recommended the Rollercoster at the Raimon City gym. Baba then suggested the Ferris wheel at Raimon City and finally Shoko-tan recommended a boat ride from Hiun City.

The VTR card battle was then revealed. For this battle, Teacher Takashima returned to help them out. The teams were split with Robert on Team Zekrom and the International girls on Team Reshiram. 100 points would be awarded to the team that won the battle and would be updated on the running score on the movie website. With Maria away, the International division needed another team player so Bobby Ologun was a guest on the show and he joined Team Reshiram with the girls. Robert were quite afraid of him as he came in kicking and punching.

For this card battle, the teams would be using cards from the Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion Battle Decks (バトル強化デッキ ビリジオン・テラキオン・コバルオン). Hana would be the leader for Team Reshiram and Baba for Team Zekrom. Team Zekrom picked Voltolos (BW1 019/053R) as their first card while Team Reshiram chose Chillaccino (BW1 045/053U) as their first card.


Click on images for higher resolution
On the bench Bobby was Virizion (BK 013/14) while Yamamoto was Terrakion (BK 013/14). Hana's Team Reshiram started first and she picked up the trainer card Switch and a Fire energy. She applied the Fire energy to Misaki who was Darumakka (BW1 009/053C). The energy card was enough to use Singe (こがす) on Akiyama Voltolos. To emulate the Singe attack, they brought out a microwave with a hot towel and placed it on Akiyama's face. Black dirt was also on the towel to make it look like Akiyama's face got singed. The attack burned Voltolos and dealt 20 damage lowering his HP to 90.

Baba picked up the Trainer card Cheren, the Trainer card Switch, a Lightning energy and a Trainer card PlusPower. Baba applied a Lightning energy card to Akiyama Voltolos. To emulate the Charge (じゅうでん) attack, Akiyama gave Bobby a shock pen which he got shocked from but Akiyama also ended up shocking himself with it but the move gave Voltolos an extra Lightning energy. Akiyama Voltolos then took 20 burn damage lowering his HP to 70.

Hana picked up Chillarmy (BW1 044/053C) and changed Bobby to it. She then applied a Fire energy to Chillarmy Bobby. Akiyama Voltolos then took 20 burn damage lowering his HP to 50. Baba picked up the Trainer card Energy Search, he also got a Lightning energy which he applied to Akiyama Voltolos. That gave it enough energy to use Disaster Bolt which does 80 damage. The move was used against Misaki and a man with a Thunderbolt fan hit her on the head. That was enough to knock out Misaki Darumakka (BW1 009/053C).

Team Reshiram sent out Chillarmy Bobby (BW1 044/053C) and Hana picked up Kumasyun, Cheren Trainer, Monmen (BK 003/014) and a Water energy. She put Monmen and Kumasyun on the bench. She then evolved Chillarmy into Chillaccino and added a Water energy to it. Bobby then used Do the Wave (ともだちのわ) which does 20 damage times the number of Pokémon on your Bench. Team Reshiram had 3 Pokémon on their bench so the attack could deal 60 damage. To emulate the attack, Akiyama put his head through a board and Bobby hit him by slapping two foam hands together on Akiyama's head. It was enough damage to knock out Akiyama Voltolos.

Team Zekrom sent out Yamamoto Terrakion. Baba attached a Fighting energy and they ended their turn. Hana then used Cheren to get 3 cards: A new Darumakka (BW1 009/053C), Kurumiru (BK 001/014) and a Grass Energy. Hana then applied a Grass energy to Virizion on their bench. She then put Darumakka and Kurumiru on the bench. Bobby then used Do the Wave (ともだちのわ) again and since there was 5 Pokémon on the bench this time, the attack did 100 damage. Bobby smacked Yamamoto with the foam hands this time lowering Yamamoto Terrakion from 120HP to 20. Team Reshiram's turn was over.


Click on images for higher resolution
Baba applied a fighting energy to Yamamoto Terrakion which gave it enough energy to use Rock Smash. Baba also combined it with PlusPower to upgrade the attack from 40 damage to 100 damage which would be enough to knock out Chillarmy Bobby (40+10)x2 = 100 Damage. To emulate the Rock Smash attack, Yamamoto was given a large wooden pole with a rock at the end of it. He then smashed it against Bobby's head. It knocked him out. Baba then picked up Mogurew.

Team Reshiram sent out Virizion which Misaki would play as. Hana picked up another Grass energy and applied it. That was enough energy to use Giga Drain. Giga Drain was emulated as two guys dressed up as grass things that would come and kiss the Yamamoto. The announcer states: "Oh my gosh!" as Yamamoto obviously wasn't enjoying the experience and probably would have preferred it if Misaki did it instead but then it obviously wouldn't have been much of an 'attack'. Giga Drain was enough to knock Yamamoto Terrakion (BK 013/14) out.

Team Reshiram was declared the winner by Teacher Takashima and received 100 points.

She then emulated the sound that Koaruhie makes in the anime and then Akiyama tried to do it as well. She battled against Misaki but didn't prove to be that much of a challenge as Misaki handly beat her with the 'Surprise Attack' from Zoroark.

Pokémon Smash Episode 28, Beware of the Cute Face! Paralyzed by Emonga!! / Quiz Festival! Pokémon Quiz Caravan! / Important Information on the Victini Received at the Movie!! (かわいい顔に要注意！エモンガでシビレビレ！！ / クイズの祭典！ポケモンクイズキャラバン！ / 映画でもらえるビクティニの重要情報！！), aired on Sunday in Japan.

Golgo introduced this weeks Special Edition of the Pokémon Library (ポケモンライブラリー特別編) right after the narrator introduced the show. Pokémon Smash! rebroadcasted Pocket Monsters Best Wishes 27 - Beware of the Cute Face! Paralyzed by Emonga!! (かわいい顔に要注意！エモンガでシビレビレ！！) due to the Sendai Earthquake and tsunami that disrupted many people's schedules and as a result they were unable to see the original airing of the episode. The episode originally aired on March 24th, 2011 only a few days after the Sendai Earthquake and tsunami. There was no episode theme this week and Professor Red did his usual "OK! Pokémon Library" go-to line.

After the Pokémon Library episode, the International Division girls showed up and noticed the large device Professor Red was finishing. Professor Red stated that it was the RED 062 - Victini V Dynamic Vision Quiz (ビクティニのＶ字動体視力クイズ). The device is loosely based off of the move V-create (Ｖジェネレート) but basically only uses the letter V as a window for people playing the quiz to see what was flying by. Professor Red would pull the switch and an object would quickly fly by in the V window and the quiz players would have to figure out what the object was. The first object was a stuffed Chillarmy (チラーミィ) which Maria was able to quickly identify.


Click on images for higher resolution
The second object proved to be a lot harder for them to identify. Baba though it was raw meat (生のお肉), Shoko-tan thought it was a monster ball (モンスターボール) and Maria thought it was Darumakka (ダルマッカ). Baba guess again as he got a second look at it flying by and correctly identified it as a tomato. Maria was close though when she said it looked like Darumakka (ダルマッカ) because the tomato was disguised to make them guess that it was a Darumakka (ダルマッカ) instead of a tomato with a band of pickled daikon radish (たくあん) around it.


Click on images for higher resolution
The third object was even harder. Hana thought it was a frisbee as did most of the crew. Professor Red flipped the switch again so they could see the object fly by again. This time Hana correctly identified it as Group Member Yamamoto's Mom's face on the frisbee (山本隊員のお母さんの顔がかいておるフリスビー). The picture was drawn by Akiyama and has been a running gag for a few episodes.

The show then switched to the VTR of the Pokémon Caravan Quiz. For this episode, the crew visited Hoshigaoka Elementary School, Kanagawa Prefecture (神奈川県 相模原市立 星が丘小学校). There was 141 students participating in this caravan quiz from the school.

The first segment of the quiz was the 'Black/White Quiz' (ブラックホワイトクイズ). The kids were separated into two teams and each person was given a paddle with black on one side and white on the other. When questions were asked, they would raise the paddle they thought was the answer. The team that won would receive 10 points.

After 9 rounds, Black team ended up getting 10 points. The next section of the Caravan Quiz was the Dotekkotsu's Focus Blast Relay Quiz (ドテッコツのきあいだまリレークイズ). Players were split into teams of three and each of them had a steel I-bar that they had to hold up like Dotekkotsu. A ball would roll down through the I-bar and would be passed on to the next person. The person that passed it would then move to the end of the line until they reached the finish line. Before setting off, the players would have to count the number of specific Pokémon on a board which were mixed up with a lot of other Pokémon to make it harder. The first team to correctly tell the number of Pokémon on the board after successfully completing the ball relay without dropping the ball was declared the winner. Black team ended up winning the event gaining another 10 points.

The next portion of the quiz was the Victini's V-Generate Find the Mistake Obstacle Course Quiz (ビクティニのＶジェネレート障害物まちがいさがしクイズ). Participants would wear a helmet with a V shaped container that had balls in them. They would have to go through the obstacle course while trying not to drop the balls. The first part of the obstacle course was a balance beam they had to walk across, the second part was finding a candy ball in a flour pan, the third part was playing Hopscotch and the final part going under a bar while doing the limbo. For each ball that they had left at the end of the obstacle course, the team would get 1 second on the clock.
