Plot[]
The Twinleaf Festival has begun, and what better way than a lecture from Professor Oak? However, he doesn't seem familiar, being a scheme by Team Rocket to steal Poké Balls. Meanwhile, the real Professor Oak gets captured by a Politoed and some Quagsire, and Ash Ketchum and friends must find where he is.
Trivia[]
- This is the second episode in which James disguised himself as Professor Oak; the first time was in Will the Real Oak Please Stand Up?.
- Coincidentally enough, James shares the same current English voice actor with Professor Oak, James Carter Cathcart.
- This episode's English dub title is a play on "Photo finish" and is also similar to another episode's title. It may also refer to a wood paneling that seems to be oak wood, often called faux oak.
- Only James blasts off in this episode.
- He is also the only one who recites the motto.
