Summary
The announcer introduced the show by saying: "This week again we're going to put the spotlight on Pokémon Quiz Caravan in Tohoku. Stay with us on Pokémon Smash!". Because the entire cast except for Shoko-tan was in Tohoku, all the guys decided to give her Valentines from the area. Golgo handed her Bamboo-leaf-shaped fish cake (sasa-kamaboko 笹かまぼこ) which is a favorite in the Sendai area. Red handed her Authentic Sendai Miso (仙台味噌) and Yamamoto handed her a Kokeshi doll that looked like her. Baba though gave her a model of the Sendai Tower (仙台タワー) but Shoko-tan didn't think it looked like it at all and she took off the label to reveal it was a model of the Tokyo Tower. Akiyama then made her a clay figure and called it Sendai-kun (せんだいくん). Note closely that its face is se (せ). Shoko-tan then asked Baba and Akiyama if they had forgotten to pick up a souvenir while in Sendai.

Before they answered her, Golgo introduced this weeks rerun episode as part of the Pokémon Library. The theme for the episode was: "Friends are always together!" (「仲間はいつでも一緒!」). This weeks Pokémon Library rerun episode was A Farewell... then a Departure! (サヨナラ…そして、たびだち!) from the original 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 episode, part two of the Tohoku Pokémon Quiz Caravan aired. The first part aired during Pokémon Smash #73. Golgo then introduced the VTR for the week which was a special one as both Robert and the International Division participated in the Pokémon Quiz Caravan at Higashimatsushima Elementary School in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture (宮城県東松島市立曲小学校). A year before this episode was the Sendai earthquake and tsunami which devastated the area.

A new quiz segment debuted in this episode, the Pokémon Borrowing Quiz (ポケモン借り物競争クイズ!). Many of the students each had a different Pokémon plushie that they were holding which had an envelope. In each envelope was instructions on what to do to get 10 points for the team. The Pokémon Smash members each pulled out the name of a Pokémon from a box. They then had to find that Pokémon plushie that matched the name and then bring it back for the envelope to be opened. Team 1 went first and Golgo was the first to go. He pulled out Choroneko (チョロネコ). Golgo returned to the main table and Baba then went out in search of Reshiram (レシラム). Misaki then opened Golgo's envelope and he was expecting to do a quiz question but instead he was asked to use a chalkboard brush to do a prop comedy (黒板けしでモノボケ). He then pretended to wash his face with the brush. The narrator then explained that there are three different objections that could be in the envelope: a Quiz Question(クイズ問題), Miss (ハズレ) or a Mission (ミッション). The kids then also had to answer a quiz question so the team could get the points. Baba returned and Maria went in search for Munna. Misaki opened Baba's envelope to find out that it was a miss. Maria returned and Golgo went in search of Minezumi. The group continued through a few tasks quite quickly.

Below are the questions that were asked to Team 1:

As time ran out, team 1 got 40 points for getting 4 done. Team 2 went next and Professor Red was the first to go. He picked Deathmas (デスマス) and went off in search of it. Misaki opened Red's envelope to find out it was a miss. Akiyama went in search of Enbuoh (エンブオー) but his envelope ended up being a miss too. Hana went in search of Daikenki (ダイケンキ) and her mssion was to do 10 pushups. The team then went on to do more missions that were quickly shown. Akiyama was then looking for Mijumaru but he also got a miss. Team two got 50 points for getting 5 done.

In the final quiz caravan segment, the Victini's V-Generate Find the Differences Obstacle Course Quiz (ビクティニのVジェネレート障害物まちがいさがしクイズ) event, participants would wear a helmet with a V-shaped container that had balls in them. They would have to go through the obstacle course while trying not to drop the balls. The first part was finding a candy ball in a flour pan, the second part was looking in a mirror to put balls in the V helmet, the third part was popping a balloon and the final part was group skipping. The two new parts that were introduced in the last quiz: Lifting up to eat flat bread and a four-legged race were also in this quiz caravan. For each ball that they had left at the end of the obstacle course, the team would get 1 second on the clock. Team 1 had 13 seconds too look at the pictures while team 2 only had 3 seconds. Team 1 ended up winning with 150 points and team 2 had 140 points.

In the viewer Smash elite four battle 12 year old Nozomi Hasegawa (長谷川 希) battled against Shoko-tan but she was able to easily beat him without loosing any of her Pokémon.

I missed watching this episode when it initially aired. It has a lot of quiz questions. The quiz questions used to be harder but most the kids weren't getting them so they are making them a bit easier it seems.
