Golgo started off the show with a little dance routine 'Up Up Side Side
Sha-wing PokéMorning! (Lit. Up Up Side Side Make a Circle PokéMorning! 縦 縦 横 横 マル描いて ポケモーニング!) which the rest of the crew did as well. Golgo then told everyone that it was May 5th (5 8だろ go hachi daro) which sort of sounds like
Gōya(ゴーヤ). Golgo was stretching a bit to get the crew to make the connection but he then gave everyone some fried Goya which Misaki quickly pretended to like. Golgo then decided to feed her some more and then crowned her the champion.

Baba and Yamamoto then are standing around in a field awaiting Akiyama who comes dressed up as a Yanappu. The narrator indicates that Dent in the anime Best Wishes also has a
Yanappu. Akiyama also joked that the sound Yanappu make sounds like a napsack. Baba then pointed out that Akiyama had tap over his nipples and wonder why he did that. He explained that he covered them up because Yanappu don't seem to have them but Baba said it just brought more attention to that fact with the tape. Akiyama then read the dex entry for
Yanappu which states: "It shares the leaf on its head with weary-looking Pokémon. These leaves are known to relieve stress." Akiyama then asks Yamamoto to get the mirror behind his back so he can find a good leaf from his head to give to Baba to eat which would hopefully reduce his stress but he couldn't eat it all because it tasted so bad. He then gave him a different leaf which he thought would taste better but Baba just ended up spitting it out too. Giving up on Yanappu, Akiyama leaves to change into a different outfit.

Switching locations Akiyama dressed up as
Dotekkotsu (ドテッコツ) this time. The narrator read the
dex entry which states: "They strengthen their bodies by carrying steel beams. They show off their big muscles to their friends." A wrestler showed up and began flexing his muscles. A bit intimidated, Akiyama began pole dancing with the steel I-bar but Baba quickly stopped him and read the dex entry from Pocket Monsters White for Dotekkotsu which states:
dex entry which states: "This Pokémon is so muscular and strongly built that even a group of wrestlers could not make it budge an inch." Another wrestler showed up and they both tried to move Akiyama Dotekkotsu by using a lot of wrestling moves on him. It wasn't long until they proved the dex entry didn't apply to Akiyama Dotekkotsu.

Akiyama changed one last time and this time he dressed up as a
Muggyo. The last Pokémon to be revealed in the current Best Wishes ending song
Can You Say the Pokémon? BW (ポケモン言えるかな?BW) is
Muggyo. Baba and Yamamoto were both surprised that Akiyama picked such a lame and boring Pokémon like
Muggyo. Baba read the
dex entry which states: "Its skin is very hard, so it is unhurt even if stepped on by sumo wrestlers. It smiles when transmitting electricity." After hearing the dex entry Akiyama was quite afraid but when the sumo wrestler got on his back he realized that it didn't hurt. They then gave Akiyama a lightbulb to see if he could fullfil the last part of the dex entry which he did and he lit up the lightbulb while smiling. Will Akiyama's new character be Muggyo?!
