Pokémon Card Game BW Battle Theme Deck: Victini (ポケモンカードゲームBW バトルテーマデッキ 「ビクティニ」) was reintroduced by the announcer and Team Zekrom consisting of Robert used the Coin Toss Deck (コイントスデッキ) while Team Reshiram consisting of the International Division girls used the Formation Deck (フォーメーションデッキ). Teacher Takashima returned once again to help out with the battle.

Teacher Takashima started off by talking about the two Victini cards that are featured in the theme deck. The first one from the Coin Toss Deck: Victini (009/021 BTV), knows the move V-Blast (Vブラスト) which deals 120 damage but two coins must be tossed and both must be heads for the attack to work. The second Victini card from the Formation Deck: Victini (001/021 BTV) has V-Generate (Ｖジェネレート) which does 100 damage but it requires that there are 5 Pokémon on the players bench.
Victini Akiyama used wore the Coin Toss Deck: Victini (009/021 BTV) to start the match while Misaki started the match on her side by wearing Formation Deck: Ligray (012/021 BTV). Yamamoto was on the bench with Deathmas (010/021 BTV). Hana would be the player for her team while Baba was the player for Robert's team. Hana's team won Janken and got to draw first. She drew Emonga (006/021 BTV) and put it in her hand. She then gave Misaki Ligray a Psychic energy to use Contact (コンタクト) which allows the player to search their deck to find 2 Pokémon to on their bench. She got Shibishirasu (007/021 BTV) and Victini.
Baba picked up a Psychic energy card and then applied it to Victini and then used the Trainer card Crush Hammer (クラッシュハンマー) (015/021 BTV) which requires the player to flip a coin. If the coin toss is heads, the player can choose 1 Energy card attached to 1 of their opponent's Pokémon and discard it. Baba flipped heads and removed the Psychic energy card from Misaki Ligray. Baba then played the Supporter card Bel (021/021 BTV) while allowed him to draw cards from the deck until they had 6 cards in their hand. Baba picked up 3 cards: Psychic energy, Baoppu (バオップ 002/021 BTV) and Pokémon Substitution (ポケモンいれかえ 018/021 BTV). Baba then flipped two coins and got heads both times allowing them to use V-Blast. To emulate the V-Blast move, styrofoam walls were created with a trolley track. Misaki as Ligray sat on a board and was propelled through the walls to emulate the attack.

With Misaki Ligray knocked out as it dealt double the damage (240HP) due to Psychic weakness, Baba picked up the prize card Deathkarn. Maria wearing Shibishirasu was sent into play as Hana picked up another Ligray card. Hana then used Super Ball (スーパーボール 017/021 BTV) which allows the player to search their deck for a Pokémon and put it on their bench. The girls selected Tabunne. Hana then applied a Fire energy card to Victini on their bench.

Baba picked up the card Pokémon Catcher (ポケモンキャッチャー) and then evolved Yamamoto Deathmas(010/021 BTV) into Deathkarn (011/021 BTV) and added a psychic energy to it. Baba decided to use V-Blast again but only got heads on the first toss. Hana's team picked up Cheren and they immediately used it to pickup 3 cards: a Psychic energy, another Emonga (006/021 BTV), and Merarva (メラルバ 004/021 BTV). They now had 5 Pokémon on their bench so they switched out Maria wearing Shibishirasu and Misaki came out wearing Formation Deck: Victini (001/021 BTV). They then applied a Psychic energy card to Misaki Victini and used V-Generate (Ｖジェネレート) which required 2 energy and 5 Pokémon on the bench. To emulate the attack, 5 guys got into a V formation and pushed a large ball at Akiyama Victini into a hot pool. Akiyama quickly went to a nearby bucket of ice. The move was enough to knock out Akiyama Victini. Hana picked up a Fire Energy card as their prize.

Yamamoto Deathkarn was sent out to battle and Baba picked up Muggyo (マッギョ 008/021 BTV) and put it on the bench. Baba then attached a Fire energy to Yamamoto Deathkarn and used the move Ambush (おそいかかる) which deals upto 60 damage if they get a heads to raise the base attack damage from 40. Formation Deck: Victini (001/021 BTV) has 70HP though. Baba decided to use the Pokémon Catcher (ポケモンキャッチャー 019/021) Trainer's card which allows the player to choose 1 of their opponent's benched Pokémon and switch it their active Pokémon. Baba switched Victini (001/021 BTV) with their second Ligray (012/021 BTV). Baba did a coin toss and got heads which gave Ambush (おそいかかる) enough damage to knock out Ligray. Maria got slimed by Ambush (おそいかかる) 'Sticky Version' which was emulated with two big hands. Baba picked up a Fire energy card as a prize and Misaki Victini was sent out as the active battle Pokémon again.

Hana applied an Lightning Energy to Emonga and since they had 5 Pokémon on the bench again they used V-Generate (Ｖジェネレート). To emulate the attack on Yamamato, the 5 guys got into a V formation again and pushed a large ball at Yamamoto Deathkarn into a hot pool. It was enough damage to knock Deathkarn out it as the Ability "Body that doesn't decay"(くちないからだ) which allows the player to flip a coin and if its heads, the Pokémon is not knocked out but only has 10 HP remaining. Baba got heads and Yamamoto was kept in play. Baba then picked up Revive (げんきのかけら 016/021 BTV) and used it to revive Akiyama Victini.
If this Pokémon would be Knocked Out by damage from an opponent's attack, you may flip a coin. If heads, this Pokémon is not Knocked Out, and has 10 HP remaining. Akiyama gets up off the floor where he had been lying down since he was knocked out. He's more than happy to be back in the battle and gives a very funny but evil laugh. Akiyama Victini goes into battle and Baba tosses 2 heads and once again Misaki is subjected to the V-Blast move. Team Zekrom won the battle and 100 points were added to the running total. As of the airing of this episode, Team Zekrom had 67,509 points while Team Reshiram was in the lead with 67,954 points.

The whole cast sang the popular catch song Gari Gari-kun(ガリガリ君 ガリガリ君 ガリガリ君). Realizing that Team Zekrom might have the advantage going on, Misaki used her idol skills on Gari-kun to see if he would be willing to support Team Reshiram and Victini and the Light Hero - Reshiram (ビクティニと白き英雄レシラム). Hana and Maria all tried to help out but then Yamamoto and Baba objected and tried to tell Gari-kun not to listen to them and that he was their 'Special Supporter'.

The Adventure Division and the International Division arrived at Akagi Ice Factory 5S, Saitama Prefecture, Honjo City (埼玉県本庄市 赤城乳業本庄千本くら「５ｓ」工場) where they met Gari-kun and Yuka Minowa, a representative for the company. Suddenly, Bobby Ologun appears and since Maria wasn't around the last time he was on the show, she wondered who he was and why he was there.
Everyone entered the factory and got dressed in clean suits and began their tour of the plant. They noticed that the sofa backs were shaped as flavored bars and that the floors were very clean an shiny. Then then checked out a machine that crushed large blocks of ice and mixed them. a 135kg block of ice is able to make 5000 flavored ice bars.

Baba and Yamamoto then are standing around in a field awaiting Akiyama who comes dressed up as a Yanappu. The narrator indicates that Dent in the anime Best Wishes also has a Yanappu. Akiyama also joked that the sound Yanappu make sounds like a napsack. Baba then pointed out that Akiyama had tap over his nipples and wonder why he did that. He explained that he covered them up because Yanappu don't seem to have them but Baba said it just brought more attention to that fact with the tape. Akiyama then read the dex entry for Yanappu which states: "It shares the leaf on its head with weary-looking Pokémon. These leaves are known to relieve stress." Akiyama then asks Yamamoto to get the mirror behind his back so he can find a good leaf from his head to give to Baba to eat which would hopefully reduce his stress but he couldn't eat it all because it tasted so bad. He then gave him a different leaf which he thought would taste better but Baba just ended up spitting it out too. Giving up on Yanappu, Akiyama leaves to change into a different outfit.

The narrator then read the dex entry which states: "Arid regions are their habitat. They move rhythmically, making a sound similar to maracas." Yamamoto then turned on a stereo and played the current Best Wishes ending song Can You Say the Pokémon? BW (ポケモン言えるかな？ＢＷ) to see if Akiyama Maracacchi could dance. Baba who had a box to emulate a Koaruhie, squirted water at Akiyama to see if he could be distracted from his dancing. Akiyama quickly scratched off Maracacchi.

Switching locations Akiyama dressed up as Dotekkotsu (ドテッコツ) this time. The narrator read the dex entry which states: "They strengthen their bodies by carrying steel beams. They show off their big muscles to their friends." A wrestler showed up and began flexing his muscles. A bit intimidated, Akiyama began pole dancing with the steel I-bar but Baba quickly stopped him and read the dex entry from Pocket Monsters White for Dotekkotsu which states: dex entry which states: "This Pokémon is so muscular and strongly built that even a group of wrestlers could not make it budge an inch." Another wrestler showed up and they both tried to move Akiyama Dotekkotsu by using a lot of wrestling moves on him. It wasn't long until they proved the dex entry didn't apply to Akiyama Dotekkotsu.

Akiyama changed one last time and this time he dressed up as a Muggyo. The last Pokémon to be revealed in the current Best Wishes ending song Can You Say the Pokémon? BW (ポケモン言えるかな？ＢＷ) is Muggyo. Baba and Yamamoto were both surprised that Akiyama picked such a lame and boring Pokémon like Muggyo. Baba read the dex entry which states: "Its skin is very hard, so it is unhurt even if stepped on by sumo wrestlers. It smiles when transmitting electricity." After hearing the dex entry Akiyama was quite afraid but when the sumo wrestler got on his back he realized that it didn't hurt. They then gave Akiyama a lightbulb to see if he could fullfil the last part of the dex entry which he did and he lit up the lightbulb while smiling. Will Akiyama's new character be Muggyo?!

Some of the Smash crew members decided to recommend various sporting attractions in Pokémon Black and White. Akiyama was the first person and he recommended walking across the Skyarrow Bridge. Hana went next and recommended the Rollercoster at the Raimon City gym. Baba then suggested the Ferris wheel at Raimon City and finally Shoko-tan recommended a boat ride from Hiun City.

The VTR card battle was then revealed. For this battle, Teacher Takashima returned to help them out. The teams were split with Robert on Team Zekrom and the International girls on Team Reshiram. 100 points would be awarded to the team that won the battle and would be updated on the running score on the movie website. With Maria away, the International division needed another team player so Bobby Ologun was a guest on the show and he joined Team Reshiram with the girls. Robert were quite afraid of him as he came in kicking and punching.

For this card battle, the teams would be using cards from the Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion Battle Decks (バトル強化デッキ ビリジオン・テラキオン・コバルオン). Hana would be the leader for Team Reshiram and Baba for Team Zekrom. Team Zekrom picked Voltolos (BW1 019/053R) as their first card while Team Reshiram chose Chillaccino (BW1 045/053U) as their first card.

On the bench Bobby was Virizion (BK 013/14) while Yamamoto was Terrakion (BK 013/14). Hana's Team Reshiram started first and she picked up the trainer card Switch and a Fire energy. She applied the Fire energy to Misaki who was Darumakka (BW1 009/053C). The energy card was enough to use Singe (こがす) on Akiyama Voltolos. To emulate the Singe attack, they brought out a microwave with a hot towel and placed it on Akiyama's face. Black dirt was also on the towel to make it look like Akiyama's face got singed. The attack burned Voltolos and dealt 20 damage lowering his HP to 90.
Baba picked up the Trainer card Cheren, the Trainer card Switch, a Lightning energy and a Trainer card PlusPower. Baba applied a Lightning energy card to Akiyama Voltolos. To emulate the Charge (じゅうでん) attack, Akiyama gave Bobby a shock pen which he got shocked from but Akiyama also ended up shocking himself with it but the move gave Voltolos an extra Lightning energy. Akiyama Voltolos then took 20 burn damage lowering his HP to 70.
Hana picked up Chillarmy (BW1 044/053C) and changed Bobby to it. She then applied a Fire energy to Chillarmy Bobby. Akiyama Voltolos then took 20 burn damage lowering his HP to 50. Baba picked up the Trainer card Energy Search, he also got a Lightning energy which he applied to Akiyama Voltolos. That gave it enough energy to use Disaster Bolt which does 80 damage. The move was used against Misaki and a man with a Thunderbolt fan hit her on the head. That was enough to knock out Misaki Darumakka (BW1 009/053C).
Team Reshiram sent out Chillarmy Bobby (BW1 044/053C) and Hana picked up Kumasyun, Cheren Trainer, Monmen (BK 003/014) and a Water energy. She put Monmen and Kumasyun on the bench. She then evolved Chillarmy into Chillaccino and added a Water energy to it. Bobby then used Do the Wave (ともだちのわ) which does 20 damage times the number of Pokémon on your Bench. Team Reshiram had 3 Pokémon on their bench so the attack could deal 60 damage. To emulate the attack, Akiyama put his head through a board and Bobby hit him by slapping two foam hands together on Akiyama's head. It was enough damage to knock out Akiyama Voltolos.
Team Zekrom sent out Yamamoto Terrakion. Baba attached a Fighting energy and they ended their turn. Hana then used Cheren to get 3 cards: A new Darumakka (BW1 009/053C), Kurumiru (BK 001/014) and a Grass Energy. Hana then applied a Grass energy to Virizion on their bench. She then put Darumakka and Kurumiru on the bench. Bobby then used Do the Wave (ともだちのわ) again and since there was 5 Pokémon on the bench this time, the attack did 100 damage. Bobby smacked Yamamoto with the foam hands this time lowering Yamamoto Terrakion from 120HP to 20. Team Reshiram's turn was over.

Baba applied a fighting energy to Yamamoto Terrakion which gave it enough energy to use Rock Smash. Baba also combined it with PlusPower to upgrade the attack from 40 damage to 100 damage which would be enough to knock out Chillarmy Bobby (40+10)x2 = 100 Damage. To emulate the Rock Smash attack, Yamamoto was given a large wooden pole with a rock at the end of it. He then smashed it against Bobby's head. It knocked him out. Baba then picked up Mogurew.
Team Reshiram sent out Virizion which Misaki would play as. Hana picked up another Grass energy and applied it. That was enough energy to use Giga Drain. Giga Drain was emulated as two guys dressed up as grass things that would come and kiss the Yamamoto. The announcer states: "Oh my gosh!" as Yamamoto obviously wasn't enjoying the experience and probably would have preferred it if Misaki did it instead but then it obviously wouldn't have been much of an 'attack'. Giga Drain was enough to knock Yamamoto Terrakion (BK 013/14) out.

Team Reshiram was declared the winner by Teacher Takashima and received 100 points.

She then emulated the sound that Koaruhie makes in the anime and then Akiyama tried to do it as well. She battled against Misaki but didn't prove to be that much of a challenge as Misaki handly beat her with the 'Surprise Attack' from Zoroark.

Pokémon Smash 28
Pokémon Smash Episode 28, Beware of the Cute Face! Paralyzed by Emonga!! / Quiz Festival! Pokémon Quiz Caravan! / Important Information on the Victini Received at the Movie!! (かわいい顔に要注意！エモンガでシビレビレ！！ / クイズの祭典！ポケモンクイズキャラバン！ / 映画でもらえるビクティニの重要情報！！), aired on Sunday in Japan.
Golgo introduced this weeks Special Edition of the Pokémon Library (ポケモンライブラリー特別編) right after the narrator introduced the show. Pokémon Smash! rebroadcasted Pocket Monsters Best Wishes 27 - Beware of the Cute Face! Paralyzed by Emonga!! (かわいい顔に要注意！エモンガでシビレビレ！！) due to the Sendai Earthquake and tsunami that disrupted many people's schedules and as a result they were unable to see the original airing of the episode. The episode originally aired on March 24th, 2011 only a few days after the Sendai Earthquake and tsunami. There was no episode theme this week and Professor Red did his usual "OK! Pokémon Library" go-to line.
After the Pokémon Library episode, the International Division girls showed up and noticed the large device Professor Red was finishing. Professor Red stated that it was the RED 062 - Victini V Dynamic Vision Quiz (ビクティニのＶ字動体視力クイズ). The device is loosely based off of the move V-create (Ｖジェネレート) but basically only uses the letter V as a window for people playing the quiz to see what was flying by. Professor Red would pull the switch and an object would quickly fly by in the V window and the quiz players would have to figure out what the object was. The first object was a stuffed Chillarmy (チラーミィ) which Maria was able to quickly identify.

The second object proved to be a lot harder for them to identify. Baba though it was raw meat (生のお肉), Shoko-tan thought it was a monster ball (モンスターボール) and Maria thought it was Darumakka (ダルマッカ). Baba guess again as he got a second look at it flying by and correctly identified it as a tomato. Maria was close though when she said it looked like Darumakka (ダルマッカ) because the tomato was disguised to make them guess that it was a Darumakka (ダルマッカ) instead of a tomato with a band of pickled daikon radish (たくあん) around it.

The third object was even harder. Hana thought it was a frisbee as did most of the crew. Professor Red flipped the switch again so they could see the object fly by again. This time Hana correctly identified it as Group Member Yamamoto's Mom's face on the frisbee (山本隊員のお母さんの顔がかいておるフリスビー). The picture was drawn by Akiyama and has been a running gag for a few episodes.

The show then switched to the VTR of the Pokémon Caravan Quiz. For this episode, the crew visited Hoshigaoka Elementary School, Kanagawa Prefecture (神奈川県 相模原市立 星が丘小学校). There was 141 students participating in this caravan quiz from the school.

After 9 rounds, Black team ended up getting 10 points. The next section of the Caravan Quiz was the Dotekkotsu's Focus Blast Relay Quiz (ドテッコツのきあいだまリレークイズ). Players were split into teams of three and each of them had a steel I-bar that they had to hold up like Dotekkotsu. A ball would roll down through the I-bar and would be passed on to the next person. The person that passed it would then move to the end of the line until they reached the finish line. Before setting off, the players would have to count the number of specific Pokémon on a board which were mixed up with a lot of other Pokémon to make it harder. The first team to correctly tell the number of Pokémon on the board after successfully completing the ball relay without dropping the ball was declared the winner. Black team ended up winning the event gaining another 10 points.
The next portion of the quiz was the Victini's V-Generate Find the Mistake 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). 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 of the obstacle course was a balance beam they had to walk across, the second part was finding a candy ball in a flour pan, the third part was playing Hopscotch and the final part going under a bar while doing the limbo. For each ball that they had left at the end of the obstacle course, the team would get 1 second on the clock.
