Today's lesson consists of "Pokémon Ping-Pong", where Trainer and Pokémon play ping-pong together as partners. Ash and his friends get really interested in Pokémon Ping-Pong after being taught by guest lecturer Ilima (with each game having unusual finishes), and decide to go watch the tournament he's going to participate in. Ilima has signed up for this tournament in order to defeat Ikari "The Dragon", the current Pokémon Ping-Pong champion and the player he lost to last time. Ikari smashes through his competition with Mienshao as his partner. A disguised Team Rocket gets involved when Jessie enters the tournament with Wobbuffet as her partner, but they're barely getting started against Ilima and his partner Smeargle when Bewear arrives and snatches Team Rocket away again. Ilima and Smeargle make it to the finals to face Ikari and Mienshao, but Ikari keeps blaming Mienshao for every point lost even when it's his own fault. Tied at one game each, the final game of the match reaches deuce with Ilima and Smeargle's teamwork against Ikari's ruthless and selfish atittude.
