* StrawmanHasAPoint: While their fight evolves into both sides being unreasonable, Ash and May's arguing starts because Ash gets angry at May for not getting ready to go quick enough for his liking, which is played as his usual impatience just turned up. However, he, Brock, and Max were all ready to go while she hadn't even finished packing her stuff up (and she randomly stopped to check herself in a mirror), meaning she ''was'' holding the whole group up. Of course, by the time they fight Oscar and Andi, it's escalated to them just stubbornly yelling at each other regardless.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Even though they're at each other's throats in this episode, Ash and May are hesitant to join Team Rocket for a GirlsVsBoysPlot battle. In addition, May is actively against Jessie cheating during said battle.



* GirlsVsBoysPlot: Ash and James engage in a double battle with May and Jessie after both groups (Ash's friends and Team Rocket) get into arguments over who is more competent. It ends with Jessie deciding to cheat by using an extra pokemon, which Brock says disqualifies the girls' team, but by then Team Rocket are only interested in stealing Pikachu, anyway.

* InsaneTrollLogic: Oscar and Andi see Ash and May arguing and decide that means they're in love. Nothing to do with what the argument was about, or any other indications; just a straight-up "they're yelling at each other, therefore they're in love".



* SickeninglySweethearts: Two pairs of them trainers and Pokémon. A bit noteworthy is that this is probably the ''only'' time we'll ever see a ''Nidoking'' acting lovey-dovey!

Things quickly spiral out of control when the incessant bickering between Ash and May overlaps with the never-ending squabbles between James and Jessie. To make matters worse, both groups had previously been defeated by a couple that was both in love and in battle.
