** Flash and Twilight step outside to talk together, and Flash tells her how he saw her while he was unconcious earlier. Twilight admits to him there was a moment she was praying for him to wake up, and she blacked out for a moment before he and Springer got up. They assume this means that either Twilight connected to Springer herself at one point which connected her to Flash, or more likely, the two of them just found a way to connect themselves.

Though Hopper is sadly absent from this due to needing to return to the Dragon Kingdom, he and Flash at least get a heartfelt goodbye together.

** Shining Armor briefly trains for the battle himself with Cadance. They both agree that even if Shining loses to Flash, [[WorthyOpponent Flash will be a worthy successor]]. When they discuss what Shining could do afterwards if he loses, Cadance suggests maybe helping her with her research or opening his own Gym in the Crystal Empire. Shining however thinks he should take a break from battling for a few years, let his Pokémon relax and enjoy themselves, and maybe raise a family with Cadance. The married couple share a kiss together after this.

* At the every end of Flash and Lightning's battle in the finals there is a genuine moment from Gorillamp of all people! Previously he had just been shown to be just as big of a {{jerkass}} as his trainer, constantly mocking Riptide at every turn. But once he realizes that he has lost the battle, he gives Riptide a friendly smirk and whispers "NotBad" just loud enough for Riptide to hear before falling face first to the ground.
* The aftermath of the battle and Flash's victory:
** Flash's friends nearly cry TearsOfJoy for him when he wins, ''except'' for Twilight, who openly sobs happily.
** Flash can hardly believe it at first when he is declared the winner, with realization slowly dawning on him that he has not only won the battle, but finally beat his rival Lightning and won the Equestria League. His reaction is a lot like Ash's when he finally defeated his very first rival Gary. but perhaps even better since it included winning the whole tournament.
--->'''Flash:''' I did it... I did it... I won. And I beat... Lightning. (''begins to shake with joy before jumping in the air'') I WON THE EQUESTRIA LEAGUE!
** Springer happily jumping into Flash's arms and the two hugging, before they both go onto the field and thank Riptide for his hard work and catching him as he has a PostVictoryCollapse. After Flash returns him to rest up, he thanks all of his Pokémon while they are inside their Pokeballs and tell them they are the best team he could asks for, with all the Pokeballs shaking in agreement, knowing Flash is the best trainer they could ask for.
** Even while Lightning Blitz is completely shocked from his defeat, having his entire worldview shattered, Gorillamp slowly drags himself over to his trainer expecting to be punished, only for Lighting in his broken state to thank Gorillamp for his hard work and return him.
** Grand silently apologizes to Flash for doubting him.
** The award ceremony afterwards, with Flash standing on the victory podium like he always dreamed of. He and all seven of his Pokémon are given medals by Celestia, Luna, and Cadance, and Flash is given the trophy for the League by Shining Armor, with Flash letting all of his team get a good look at it.
** Lightning meets with Grand again after his defeat. The first thing Grand says is he is [[SoProudOfYou proud of Lightning for making it so far in just one year of training all on his own]], even if he didn't agree with his methods or his attitude. Lightning finally acknowledges that he still has a lot to learn and that maybe there is something to what Flash has been saying after all, asking if Grand would be willing to train him. Grand agrees, with the two of them heading out together; Lightning finally beginning his path to redemption like Grand hoped he would.

** Lightning meets with Grand again after his defeat. The first thing Grand says is he is [[SoProudOfYou proud of Lightning for making it so far in just one year of training all on his own]], even if he didn't agree with his methods or his attitude. Lightning finally acknowledges that he still has a lot to learn and that maybe there is something to what Flash has been saying after all, asking if Grand would be willing to train him. Grand agrees, with the two of them heading out together; Lightning finally beginning his path to redemption like Grand hoped he would.

* Though Rainbow ultimately loses to Lightning we get to see everyone cheering for her and supporting her through the match, including Fluttershy being the first one in the crowd to yell her cheers, quickly followed by everyone else, and we see Rainbow's parents and Soarin cheering for her as they watch the match elsewhere.

* Cloud Clipper arrives after the second round of the League and greets Flash and his friends, saying how much more mature Flash looks now.
* When Cloud Clipper meets with Spitfire later, Spitfire confirms what she previously implied, that she is planning to make Rainbow Dash her apprentice. She also states that she still believes Rainbow has what it takes to be champion, saying if she wins the League and beats Shining Armor then she won't need her, but will be there to offer the position to her if she falls short. Cloud Clipper for her part, despite not knowing Rainbow as well as Spitfire, thinks she is a good pick, since [[YouRemindMeOfX Rainbow reminds her of herself when she was her age]], which was the same thing she thought about Spitfire when she was Rainbow's age.
* When Cloud and Spitfire are talking about how much Flash has grown since his journey began, Spitfire acknowledges that if Flash wins and becomes the new champion, Equestria will be in good hands.
* Tank comforting Rainbow when she gets nervous before her battle with Lightning.

* One moment easy to miss at first is during Flash and Trixie's battle, between Astro and Hatterene. During the battle, Hatterene has Astro BoundAndGagged in her hair, and defeats him with a [[LifeDrain Draining]] [[KissOfDeath Kiss]] to the head. Once Astro is knocked out and goes limp though, it is noted that Hatterene gently lowers Astro to the ground before unwrapping him. This might not seem like much, but the average Pokémon probably would have just let their defeated opponent go instantly, and let them crash into the ground. This is like a non-lethal version of CradlingYourKill, and showing her defeated opponent respect.

* When the group and Sunburst begin to suspect that Starlight Glimmer might be the one responsible for draining the Pokémon at the Pokémon Center of their energy, they track her down to the stadium where the tournament is being held. When they find her, she has an energy gun with her, but it turns out she is there to use it to ''restore'' the energy of the various Pokémon that were drained previously, because she felt guilty over what happened to them after due to the system being hacked. She demonstrates this by healing the Lilligant that Lightning Blitz defeated in an earlier battle.
