** The entire premise of this episode is someone mistaking a ''Dragon Ball'' character for a Pokémon (namely, Ash mistaking Cell for a Pokémon). This was previously done in this series with Nappa mistaking Chiaotzu for a Pokémon.

Cell is fed up by now with people challenging him non-stop, yet despite his exasperation he's willing to talk to the main trio at least somewhat politely until he finally launches into a rant to get Ash to understand he's not a pokemon and to vent his displeasure about the whole thing. Ash, meanwhile, rushes to battle Cell and launches a surprise attack on him. However, by the end this is almost reversed; Cell's temper is visibly fraying throughout the video, and when it does sink in with Ash that Cell isn't a pokemon, Ash is quick to meekly leave, albeit without any kind of apology about the whole misunderstanding.

Of course, by the time this series was released in 2017, a pretty good chunk of the world had smart phones in their pockets complete with GPS and apps for finding their way.

Ash, Misty, and Brock from ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' are lost and wandering in the wilderness (as they so often are), when they happen to stumble across the arena for the Cell Games.[[note]]Presented by Hetap.[[/note]] They see Cell in the ring, and mistake it for some unknown type of pokemon, so Ash leaps into the ring to try to capture it, to Cell's exasperation.
Neither Squirtle's water attacks or Charizard's flames have any effect on Cell, and Ash is preparing to see if Pikachu will have better luck when Team Rocket interrupts in their hot air balloon. Cell is not inclined to humor them, and so he blasts their balloon off into the distance before they can quite finish their speech.
When Ash tries to restart the battle, Cell finally angrily manages to get it across to Ash that he is not a pokemon, nor is he interested in any more shenanigans and is willing to kill them all if they don't leave. A little dejected, Ash and company depart, leaving Cell muttering to himself about how it's taking forever for the tournament day to arrive.
At that moment Mewtwo goes flying by, and an astonished Cell mistakes him for Freeza.
