One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team! (Japanese: 最後の大勝負!ポケモントライアスロン!!, HepburnThe Final Showdown! Pokémon Triathlon!!) is the 39th episode of Pokémon: DP Battle Dimension.

Synopsis[]

The Pokémon Summer Academy is almost over, but there's one more event left: the Pokémon Triathlon! Each Trainer will use two random Pokémon to race to a nearby lake and cross, then run on foot back to the Academy. Ash's Red Team is currently last in the overall points, but each Red Team member's points in this event will be added to the total score. So the race begins and the campers take off, led by Ash on a Spoink and Dawn on Dodrio. However, Ash's rival Angie has her Ariados sling some webs to swing her into first place. Once they reach the lake, Angie gets a Lapras, Ash gets a Mantyke, and the two remain ahead of the pack.

Jessie is dead last until a speedy Magikarp helps her move up several places. Conway decides to follow her, but Jessie thinks he's so creepy that she runs like the wind to get away from him. She even speeds past Ash and Angie, but Conway won't give up—so she has Seviper use Poison Tail to drive off Conway.

Battling is against the Triathlon rules, but before Ash and Angie can protest, Seviper's Poison Tail knocks Angie and her Shinx into a pit! By the time Ash pulls Angie to safety, Jessie and Conway are long gone.

However, Conway and Jessie are exhausted by the time they reach the Academy. Ash and Angie easily pass them, and Ash just manages to beat Angie to the finish line. Once everyone is done and the points are totaled, the Red Team has come from behind to win the overall award! Everyone celebrates the final night of camp with a bonfire, and Ash promises to visit Angie in Solaceon Town. But first things first: the next morning, he and his friends are off to Celestic Town for a Pokémon Contest![1]

Episode plot[]

The last contest is a Pokemon Triathalon and Ash and Angie are both confident in themselves, going so far as to inspire a rivalry to which Dawn has to separate the two. Ash extends his hand and bids Angie good luck, but she blushes and runs off. Ash, confused by this, proceeds to prep for the triathalon. Meanwhile, Jessie is enjoying herself while Meowth and James continue to work. As the race begins, Jessie takes the lead and reaches the first checkpoint, but her dissatisfaction with her Hippowdon causes her to be passed by the other trainers. Dawn takes the lead, with Ash just behind. But Angie quickly passes them both with her pokemon's String Shot move. A fight between the trainers breaks out, and Conway pushes through taking the lead. After reaching the second checkpoint, the Trainers trade out their pokemon, with Jessie being upset by her position in the race. She then receives a Magikarp which she expects to be slow, but to everyone's surprise, is incredibly fast. As they race on, they reach the third and final leg of the race, where the trainers switch out their pokemon for their partners. Conway seems to focus on Jessie a little much, with Ash and Angie struggling with each other for first place. They enter a cave. The ground begins to cave in though, nearly swallowing Angie and her partner, but Ash catches her, saving her again. They continue the race, and Ash just barely beats out Angie by a nose, with Conway and Jessie barely finishing at all from how tired they were from fighting. After this, Team Red is granted enough points to take the lead, and the team receives a plaque. That night, they have a feast and set a bonfire. Ash meets with Angie who asks why Ash saved her, and he said it was because she was his friend. This was not the answer she wanted from him, but she accepts it and the two part ways as friends. After this, Ash, Dawn and Brock make their way off toward Celestic Town where Dawn will participate in the next Pokemon Contest.
