The announcer introduced the show by saying: "And now, we'll get you the lastest Pokémon information right here on Pokémon Smash! Here we go!". The crew walked in and went over to see Golgo, Mijumaru and Zoroark. Golgo was holding a map of
Saitama Prefecture (埼玉県) with an arrow pointing to Golgo's home town (ゴルゴ所長のふるさと). Robert then says since they are talking about Saitama, Robert then associate the area with
Maiko but Golgo quickly corrects them by saying that
Kyoto Prefecture. The rest of the crew then starts off by saying 'Speaking of Saitama Prefecture...'(埼玉県といえば...?) for their questions. Yamamoto then says the area is know for Deer (シカ) but quickly tells him that he's thinking of
Nara Prefecture(奈良県). Red then says he thinks the area is know for a large body of water (に本ー大きな湖) which Golgo corrects as
Shiga Prefecture(滋賀県). Baba then says its known for the Great Barrier Reef(グレートバリアリーフ) but Golgo says that Australia. Golgo ends up calling them all idiots and get's Shoko-tan to introduce the Pokémon Library episode.
