Pokémon Smash Episode 22, Lots of Patcheel! Searching for Happiness on the Other Side of the Mountain!? / A Signature Campaign to Release the Complete Version of Group Member Akiyama's 'Immersed in Pokémon Life' on DVD / SKE48 Participates in a Pokémon Battle! / The Latest Clips from the Movie!(パッチールがいっぱい！　幸せさがして山の彼方に！？ / 秋山隊員が「ポケモン漬け生活BW」完全版をDVD化するため署名運動 / SKE48がポケモンバトルに登場！ / 映画最新映像！), aired on Sunday in Japan.

Since Game Freak Game Designer Shigeki Morimoto was on the show last week to help them with their Pokémon battling, Golgo, Professor Red, Shoko-tan, Baba and Yamamoto were all playing Pokémon Black and White to increase their Pokémon's strength. Akiyama shows up in his Pikachu outfit and is a bit sad as he worked hard to win his battle. The crew tries to cheer him up.

Yamamoto introduces this weeks rerun episode as part of the Pokémon Library and he also announces this weeks theme, Happiness cannot be taken by Force! (幸せはむりやりうばえない！). This weeks Pokémon Library rerun episode was Lots of Patcheel! Searching for Happiness on the Other Side of the Mountain!? (パッチールがいっぱい！　幸せさがして山の彼方に！？) from the Advanced Generation series. A full summary of that episode is available in the episode guide. Shoko-tan starts laughing and Akiyama starts crying which cuts off Yamamoto so Red just decides to quickly do his "OK! Pokémon Library!" go-to line.

After the repeat episode, the International division girls show up and are suprised to see Akiyama in his Pikachu outfit again. The narrator then reviews the events that took place in Pokémon Smash! #18 when Akiyama Immersed himself in Pokémon Life to learn about the new 5th generation Pokémon in the new games Pokémon Black and White.

Akiyama explains that there was a lot of footage that they didn't see in the original broadcast as there was only 15 minutes in his segment and he wants everyone to be able to see all of it. The announcer then explains that Akiyama is planning to do a 'Signature Campaign to Release the Complete Version of Group Member Akiyama's 'Immersed in Pokémon Life' on DVD' so that everyone will be able to watch it.

Segment 1 of the unreleased footage showcases: 'Study the compatibility of the Elite Four with Attacks' (未公開映像①　支店王との相性を体当たりでお勉強！). As Akiyama was reaching the Elite Four in the games, Yamamoto and Baba decided to help Akiyama learn about their type strengths and disadvantages. 11 year old　Itō Saya （伊藤紗弥）, Thai boxing (ムエタイ Muay Thai） girl from Pokémon Smash! #10 returned and is a Fighting type (かくとうタイプ). Akiyama was dressed up as a personification of the Dark type Pokémon to see how it would affect Master Geema (ギーマ) of the Isshu Elite Four. To test how well a fighting type attack would work against a dark type, Itō Saya kicked Akiyama in the butt. Obviously he felt the attack as fighting type moves have advantages against dark type.

Next Baba who was a Bug type (むしタイプ) used X-Scissor on Akiyama's face. Akiyama quickly realized that it was an effective attack against dark types. He also quickly found out that Psychic type attacks are very ineffective against dark types.

Yamamoto was up next to help Akiyama as he was a Ghost type (ゴーストタイプ) which matched Shikimi (シキミ) of the Isshu Elite Four. Baba who was a Bug type (むしタイプ) used X-Scissor on Yamamoto but it didn't seem to effect him too much. Itō Saya kicked Yamamoto but he quickly got up and acted like it didn't do anything to him as fighting moves are ineffective against Ghost type Pokémon. Yamamoto actually did have to go to the side to recover from the kick though. A girl who was dressed up as a ghost was next and used Shadow Ball against him which was simulated with the girl putting a ball of squid ink　(イカスミ) and popping it in his mouth. Akiyama obviously could tell that was effective.

Next up was a guy dressed up like Caitlin (カトレア) who is the Psychic type Isshu Elite Four member and he faced Baba and his X-Scissor. It proved to be super effective against Pyschic Pokémon. He then faced multiple kicks from Itō Saya and it didn't seem to do much. He then was told to face a Psychic type which ended up just being a mirror. He started using the hadōken move against the mirror but that didn't seem to effective. Instead of saying the normal 'hadōken' when doing the move he kept saying 'Esper' (エスパー). Akiyama wanted to double check if Ghost was really effective against Ghost as that didn't seem right to him. Yamamoto was then subjected to the squid ink　(イカスミ) Shadow Ball again.

Robert then went off to the Musashi Koyama Palm Mall (武蔵小山商店街パルム) in Tokyo. They were all wearing banners around them that said 'Make DVD Team' (DVD作り隊). Akiyama wanted to get as many people as he could to sign his petition to make his DVD. He was able to get quite a few signatures from various people. One particular young boy knew English and they were asking him what a few things like a pen and a shoe were called in English. Up until that point, the boys answers were all in English but Akiyama pointed to Hiroshi Yamamoto and asked 'This is a...' to which the boy answered 'Hiroshi (ヒーロシ)'. That got a big laugh from all the members of Robert.

Segment 2 of the unreleased footage showcases: 'Pokémon Room Case File' (未公開映像② ポケモンルーム事件簿). Akiyama just sits around in the room and listens to the music for quite awhile. He then begins humming the music in bed.

Robert then head off to the Yokohama Pokémon Center(ポケモンセンターヨコハマ) to continue pitching Akiyama's DVD. THey meet one of the staff members and then Akiyama explains what he is going to put on the DVD.

The Tokiko sticker is a picture of Group Member Yamamoto's mother (山本隊員の母) which was drawn by Akiyama. They were able to get the staff member to sign the petition.

Segment 3 of the unreleased footage showcases: 'Famous Music' (未公開映像③　名曲集). Akiyama decided that he needed to make some original music based on the background music from the games. When the show returns to the set, Golgo adds another item to the list that must be on Akiyama's DVD before it can be released. He needs to put 10 successful battles on the DVD. (バトルで１０連勝したらDVDを出そうじゃないか！) Akiyama currently only has 1 and just as Akiyama tried to negotiate the number, Golgo insisted it must be 10.

The very annoying SKE48 Idol Group was on the show today to promote their aweful new track. They lipsync'd the song "Banzai Venus" (バンザイ　Venus) which got 300,000 pre-orders CD orders for their new single. Seriously, do they really need any more promoting?! Thankfully they only sang the chorus on the show and we weren't subjected to too much torture.

SKE48 was also on the show to battle the PokéSmash members in a 6 on 6 Full Battle with Level 50 Pokémon. Thankfully the PokéSmash members came out victorious and their training and lesson from Game Freak Game Designer Shigeki Morimoto was helpful. Misaki was instrumental in the PokéSmash teams victory.

He then said "Let's kick off!" as the main portion of the show began. The episode began with the Pokémon Enterprise staff welcoming everyone with their 'PokéMorning!' slogan and Shoko-tan and Baba both sporting new hairdos. Shoko-tan then quickly reminded people of the Pokémon Library vote that took place earlier in the month. The episode that won the vote would be aired on today's episode of Pokémon Smash.

Since Professor Red won the first two votes, he got to try to defend his winning streak. He chose Already in a Daze with Muchul!! Do you like Superstar Pokémon? (ムチュールにもうむちゅう！！スーパースターはポケモンがおすき？). Up against Professor Red this time was Akiyama and he chose Pull Yourself Together, Lisyan! (シャンとしてリーシャン！) from the Diamond and Pearl series.

Akiyama won with 24,310 votes while Professor Red's winning streak came to an end as he received 17,720 votes.

Since Akiyama won the third Pokémon Library vote, Pull Yourself Together, Lisyan! (シャンとしてリーシャン！) from the Diamond and Pearl series was this weeks repeat episode. The theme for the episode this week was 'Everyone grows up when the time comes! '(時がくればだれでも成長できる！). A full summary for that episode is available in the episode guide.　After Shoko-tan's disasterous attempt to fill in for Red last week, he did his 'OK! Pokémon Library!' go-to line.

Akiyama and Golgo are the only two staff members with victories. They are currently sporting a 2-4 (Wins/Losses) record and Golgo isn't impressed.

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.
