Ash wins his Full Battle against the Orange Crew Supreme Gym Leader Drake, becoming Champion of the Orange League, earning the Winner's Trophy and a spot in the Palace of Victory.
Jessie breaks the fourth wall by acknowledging the existence of a split screen featuring Drake and pushing it away.
In the dub, Charizard's Fire Spin and Squirtle's Bubble Beam are referred to as Ember and Bubble, respectively.
Although Bulbasaur was only paralyzed by Electabuzz's Thunderbolt, it was counted as unable to continue.
Just before the "To Be Continued" shot at the end of the episode, an image of Ash posing with the Winner's Trophy appears in the middle of the screen. In the Japanese version, this image shrinks away when Ash finishes talking and the "To Be Continued" text appears on the screen, but in the dub, it does not. However, the sound effect of the image shrinking away can still be heard in the dub.
