Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
Professor Sycamore's summer camp is about to conclude, and Team Rocket decides this is the perfect time to spring into action. But, shortly after the villains throw off their camp cook disguises and try to steal everyone's Pokémon, they get sent blasting off once again
The scheduled events resume with Team Froakie (Ash, Serena, and Clemont) and Team Squirtle (Tierno, Shauna, and Trevor) facing off in the finals of the Team Battle competition, where the three members of each team have to work together and combine their Pokémon's moves. As before, Tierno's rhythmic battling style poses quite a challenge! Team Froakie manages to come out on top, but Ash is so impressed that he asks Tierno for some special training.
The next morning, it's time for the friends to go their separate ways, but they make plans to meet up again soon. Now, our heroes are off once more to Shalour City!
Plot
This plot summary is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this plot summary to add missing sections and complete it.
The point rating system used during the Pokémon Summer Camp continues to be inconsistent with the points seen being given on screen. Before the Team Battle tournament, Professor Sycamore states the highest ranked teams are Team Froakie, consisting of Ash and his friends, and Team Squirtle, consisting of Tierno, Trevor and Shauna, with both teams having 13 points. However, in the previous episodes of this arc Team Chikorita was shown to have obtained at least 24 points (which would mean that, even though Team Froakie won the last activity, winning 10 points and as such the whole Pokémon Summer Camp, they would still have one point less than Team Chikorita). Also before the Team Battle tournament, Team Charmander was shown to have obtained at least 13 points, the same amount as Team Froakie and Team Squirtle, yet they weren't said to be tied with them.
Dub edits
In the dub, after Bulbasaur was knocked out by Pikachu's Electro Ball, Professor Sycamore didn't state that Bulbasaur was unable to battle. However, his lines were left in the closed captioning.
