• Mark questioned Mewtwo about why he had attacked Dr. Philin and challenged him to explain why he had not ended his life if he hated being alive.

• Mi Yang explained that the Royal Family’s Judgment Legion was built from powerful Pokémon whose Trainers had lived during Emperor Arthur’s era.

As Mark prepared to compete in the Academy Cup final, he discussed pursuing the World Youth Championship and training for the dangers ahead.

• Jirachi used Small Wish to conjure freshly baked donuts and found that Victini's Infinite Energy had strengthened both Small Wish and Medium Wish.
