While in sight of Vermilion City, Jessie, James and Meowth use a huge balloon to make the Decolore cruise ship float in the air with the passengers aboard. Team Rocket are not the only ones getting in the way of Ash, Iris and Cilan, but apparently, Porter is against them as well. Will our heroes arrive on Vermilion City before Team Rocket steal their Pokémon?

Major events

• Ash, Iris, Cilan and Alexa arrive in Kanto.
• Iris and Cilan decide to head to Johto and separate from Ash and Alexa, who continue on to Pallet Town.

Trivia

• This episode was followed by a trailer for the XY series.
• Cilan and Iris plan to travel to Johto using the Magnet Train, which was still under construction in A Goldenrod Opportunity.
  • It should be also noted that in the aforementioned episode it was said that it would take a year before the train would be finished, indicating that at least a year has passed from that moment.
• The background music used for Team Rocket's motto is the original Unova motto music that previously played from BW002 to BW006, instead of the usual Sinnoh motto music re-arrangement that has played from BW035 onwards.
• This episode features the following flashbacks of Ash, Iris, and Cilan:
  • Ash meeting Iris from Enter Iris and Axew!.
  • Ash meeting Cilan from Triple Leaders, Team Threats! and Dreams by the Yard Full!.
  • Cilan demonstrating his fishing skills from Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!.
  • Iris and Cilan dressing up as Professor Juniper and Elesa, respectively, from Climbing the Tower of Success!.
  • Ash and Cilan battling against Soren and Rocko from A Surface to Air Tag Battle Team!.
  • Iris calming down the enraged Hydreigon from A Village Homecoming!.
  • Ash apologizing to Iris from The Path That Leads to Goodbye!.

Errors

• When Jessie stands on the rope ladder reciting the motto as herself, she is seen wearing her short shirt, while half of it should be identical to James's longer shirt.

Dub edits

• In the dub, James can be heard laughing along Jessie and Meowth after the balloons lift up the cruise ship. However, James was not actually with the other two at the time. In the original version, Jessie was trying to laugh with a gender-neutral voice so she could sound like herself and imitate James at the same time.
• Similarly to What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!, Team Rocket's original Unova motto BGM is removed, but instead of being replaced with the Sinnoh motto music, it is replaced with dub-exclusive music.
