Summary
In this episode of Pokémon Sunday, building upon the success of the recently released Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver games, the crew conducts their own 'PokéSunthlon' (ポケサンスロン).

Fist off, Professor Red and Golgo 'transformed' into wrestling stars to take on Robert in a match on Professor Red's latest invention, the Big RED051 PokéSunthlon Ring-Out Fight mat. [RED051 ポケサンスロン リングアウトファイト(大)]. Robert were easily defeated but complained that Red and Golgo didn't look the same and wanted a rematch.

For the PokéSunthlon proper, Robert competed in a series of events loosely inspired by actual Pokéthlon events. The first event, the Technique Course, was similar to the Catch Saucer Pokéthlon event. Robert threw rice crackers as far as they could while a referee measured the overall distance. Next, the Speed Course had them push a floorcloth down a hallway, and the Stamina course had them eat as many bowls of noodles as possible. In each event, they competed against a junior champion, who managed to beat them all every time around.

The rerun serial "Pokémon Selection" continued the theme "Journeys and Meetings in the Jouto Region", with today's episode featuring Satoshi battling for a gym badge at the Kikyō Gym against gym leader Hayato.

The Pokethlon was a great episode for the show. It was funny to see Red and Golgo 'transform' into wrestling guys for the match against Robert. At least they realized they were duped. The other events verses the members of Robert and the champion kid were also fun to watch.
