Summary
The announcer introduced the show by saying: "Today Robert will strugle to challenge genius kids! It's time for Pokémon Smash!" Golgo then greeted the viewers with a "Pokéyou gozaimasu" (ポケようございます), a variation on "Good morning" (ohayou gozaimasu おはようございます). Golgo then stated that the date was February 5th (2月5日) and slurs the pronunciation of 'ni go' to 'niko ニコニコ' to make it a pun on 'Smile Day' (笑顔の日), an annual event that takes place on February 5th.

Golgo then introduced this weeks rerun episode as part of the Pokémon Library. The theme for the episode was: As long as you're with friends, you can make it through tough times as well! (仲間といっしょならつらいことも乗りこえられる!). This weeks Pokémon Library rerun episode was Hikozaru's Tears! (ヒコザルの涙!) from the Diamond and Pearl series. A full summary of that episode is available in the episode guide. Professor Red said his go-to line 'OK! Pokémon Library!' to start the repeat episode.

After the Pokémon Library, scenes from previous episodes of Pokémon Sunday were shown that had the Child Champion' Corner. They decided to resurrect that segment for Pokémon Smash and the Adventure division went out and visited the 2011 International König Fencing Tournament Girls Champions, 12 year old gold medalist Sera Azuma (東莉央), 13 year old silver medalist Rio Azuma (東晟良) as well as 11 year old bronze medalist Tokiho Fukutsuka (福塚世帆).

The girls showed off their fencing skills to Robert and were then introduced to their instructor Sousuke Toda (戸田壮介), an olympic fencer who competed in the 1964 Summer Olympics. He then showed Robert the basic way to hold the sword as well and the different stances. They then practiced for a bit and then the girls fenced against the champion girls. In the first round Baba fenced against Rio Azuma (東晟良) but he lost pretty quickly. In the second round, Akiyama faced Tokiho Fukutsuka (福塚世帆) and he too lost quickly. In the final round, Yamamoto faced Sera Azuma (東莉央) but he too was no match for her but he faired better than Baba and Akiyama did.

In the second part of the episode, Robert was joined by haiku champions: 8 year old Hana Mishiro (三代華), 10 year old Shunta Tada (多田竣汰) and 10 year old Kain Oosugi (大杉魁音). A haiku is a 17 syllable poem formed by 3 phrases in a 5-7-5 structure. The International division girls also showed up for this segment. The kid haiku champions were put on one team, Robert was a team and the International division girls were the other team. The judges for the competition were: Masami Oyama (小山正美), Yuuki Horimoto (堀本裕樹) and Jonathan from the Pokémon Company. Robert ended up with 5 points, the International division had 7 points and the kids champions team had 13 points.

Starting to fall behind on these Smash summaries as they take so long to prepare and get ready. They finally brought the old Pokemon Sunday segment back where Robert goes against the kids champions. As usual, they end up getting wooped big time!
