* Pikachu in a jester's outfit. He is just so cute.
** The looks Ash and company give Pikachu before dressing him up. Special mention goes to Max's.
** And when Pikachu fights his first battle, his Thunderbolt attack destroys the outfit -- which, BTW, is a rental. Does the palace tailor stick Ash with the bill for that?
* During the opening credits, Mew transforms into the queen's Mime Jr. and watches the tournament alongside them. The maid does a {{Wild|Take}} DoubleTake when she realizes she's seeing two Mime Jr.
* When Kidd's Weavile strike a pose, Meowth replies, "You gonna attack or do a ballet?"
* [[StalkerWithACrush Brock]] gushing over Kidd, with the queen's Mime Jr. imitating his every move.
* There's something entertaining about watching Ash and Lucario wrestle in a river.
* Max trying to get Lucario to enjoy chocolate. When Max turns his back (or pretends to), Lucario [[NotSoStoic smiles]] only to frown again when Max looks back.
* Team Rocket seeing the Tree of Beginning being restored.
-->'''James:''' Seems everything's back to normal.\\
'''Jessie:''' [[StatusQuoIsGod Which means we're back to being losers.]]
* The "white blood cell" metaphor.
-->'''Kidd:''' So it thinks we're some kind of disease?
-->'''[[DeadpanSnarker Max]]:''' Speak for yourself.
* During the scene where Ash reunites with Pikachu in a large crevice, he laughs with joy as he catches his best friend mid-air, [[OhCrap then yells as he notices]] [[BlackComedy they're both falling down the crevice]]. Good thing Kidd was there.
This whole scene:
--> '''James:''' Now's the perfect time to waltz off with some Pokémon.
--> '''Jessie:''' Oh, don't be such a drag. I wanna boogie the night away!
--> (Jessie and James accidentally switch with May and her dance partner)
--> '''Jessie:''' (stunned) H-hi.
--> '''Man:''' You sure dance beautifully.
--> '''Jessie:''' (blushing) Why, thank you. (squeals with joy) If I'm dreaming, ''please don't wake me!'' (spins him around harshly)
--> '''May:''' (now dancing with a disguised James) [[YouLookFamiliar Have we met someplace before?]]
--> '''James:''' (whimpers nervously, and avoids her gaze) Oh, I get that sort of thing all the time.
