Episode PictureThe latest episode of Pokémon Sunday, Nuoh and the GS Ball!? / Yamirami Challenges Director Lucario! / The Latest Information on the 'Pokémon World Championships 2010' (ヌオーとGSボール!? ヤミラミがルカリオ部長に挑戦! 「ポケモンワールドチャンピオンシップス2010」の最新情報), aired today in Japan.

In this weeks episode, the show started with Yamirami playing a practical joke on all the group members by placing a Whoopee cushion under everyone's seats.

TIM then go to a local field to do some athletic activities with Yamirami, seeing whether it matched up to what Director Lucario has proven capable of earlier. The first activity they participated in was a limbo dance. Golgo went first and then Yamirami. Red and Golgo both congratulated Yamirami as they watched it easily beat Golgo's height only to realize it was cheating when they saw the stool with wheels underneath its body.

The next event was conducted by Professor Red which was balancing a soccer ball on his knees. Professor Red started off and did quite well. When it was Yamirami turn, Red and Golgo were both impressed with Yamirami's amazing control of the soccer ball. Upon a closer look, they realized it was cheating again and the ball was connected to its body with a string so it couldn't hit the ground.

The last event they participated in was a shot put. Professor Red went first and managed to get a total distance of 7m50cm. Yamirami went next and got a distance of 13m after it bounced a few metres. Upon inspecting the ball, however, Professor Red saw that Yamirami had been using a much lighter ball.

Giving up on testing Yamirami's skills, Golgo and Red sat down, only to again become victims of Yamirami's Whoopee cushion, as a Pokemon Center employee then showed up and showed them all the new Yamirami goods that will soon be on sale. 100 lucky lottery winners could also get Yamirami Whoopee cushion by sending in a postcard.

The rerun serial "Pokémon Selection" continued the theme "The Happy Pokémon of the Jouto Region", with today's episode focusing on a group of Nuoh who steal round objects and take them to an unknown place. The objects are found floating down the river the next day, but when one of the Nuoh steal the GS Ball from Satoshi, he and the rest of the group decides to follow the Nuoh to avoid the risk of the important monster ball getting lost.
