Appealing with Pikachu and Eevee, Ash and May both get past the Appeals stage and end up having to battle each other in the final. During a break before the final match, Team Rocket appears and steals everyone's Pokémon. Combusken and Sceptile battle Team Rocket and the fight causes Combusken to evolves into Blaziken who blasts Team Rocket away and rescues the Pokémon. The final round of the contest begins, Ash using Sceptile and May using Blaziken. The battle is fierce, however despite the type advantage, Ash gains an upper hand.

Trivia[]

  • The flag on the Team Rocket mecha depicts a variant of the Flag of Japan and Mount Fuji.
  • The Terracotta Contest was promoted using a recolored version of the international Pokémon logo (that shows the word "Pokémon" in red letters bordered in a yellow outline, while the actual logo has yellow letters that are bordered in blue).
