Down on the beach, Ash is helping Litten to master Fire Fang with Kiawe and Turtonator. Litten launches its attack but comes up short and ends up biting Turtonator's tail and nothing more before getting swotted away. Litten is down but Ash is supportive and Kiawe promises to help teach it. Later, Pikachu and Rockruff are playing when Pikachu spots something in the sand and investigates but it keeps moving away from Pikachu and Rockruff. Turtonator demonstrates absorbing air to help increase the power of the fire inside its body so Ash has Litten try that which it does before going to attack with Fire Fang only to trip on a can. As Ash compliments Litten on trying, Pikachu and Rockruff get his attention. They notice a shovel in the sand and Kiawe recognises it as being a Sandygast and Rotom Pokédex provides Ash with information, Kiawe warns they have to be careful of it.
Rockruff's paw is shown to be the same shade of brown as the rest of its leg whilst bracing from the sand.
When Litten charges at Turtonator with Fire Fang, it trips over a soda can that suddenly appeared on the ground and disappears afterwards.
When Ash fell after trying to escape the frozen Palossand, he had his hand on a big bump on his forehead. When Litten was shown charging to use Fire Fang, Ash's arm was down by his side. When the camera went back to Ash, his hand was back on his head and his cap was facing forward.
When Sandygast's shovel was placed on Palossand's head, it inexplicably grows large after Palossand flips it upside-down.
