* BreakTheHaughty: The episode seems like it'll be one for Ash, as he's a beginner who chooses to use a Pokemon that's never battled before against an opponent more experienced that he is. But it turns out to be one for his opponent Mandi, who's cocky and self important attitude is shattered when Ash's Pokemon evolves and sweeps his entire team.

* EpicFail: Not for Ash, but for Mandi. He came in the battlefield with a team of experienced Pokémon with significant advantages over a Krabby with zero battle experience. What follows can only be described as a HumiliationConga for Mandi. First, his Exeggutor gets defeated by Krabby's Stomp despite having a type-advantage. Then Krabby evolves into Kingler and proceeds to sweep the rest of Mandi's team, with Seadra being smacked by Crabhammer and Golbat being blasted out of the sky by Hyper Beam. And keep in mind, Ash has Squirtle and Pikachu, experienced Pokémon battlers, as his reserves in case Kingler loses.

* UnsportsmanlikeGloating: After Ash wins his first battle, Brock notes that the trainer's guide says winners should be graceful and reserved in victory. Ash isn't listening because he's dancing around in front of some reporters claiming he's going to win ''all'' his battles just like he did with this one.

* [[KarmaHoudini Break The Haughty Houdini]]: Ash gets ''a lot'' cockier and more aggressively competitive in this episode, making it seem like he's set for a BreakTheHaughty in his first League battle. Instead he delivers a CurbStompBattle to Mandi, turning the battle into Mandi's BreakTheHaughty and a validation for Ash, who ends the episode gloating and celebrating in front of the cameras.

!!Japanese Title: ''Pokémon League Opens! Water Field!''
!!!Original Airdate: December 17th, 1998
!!!US Airdate: October 30th, 1999
It's day one of the Pokémon League Tournament and the trainers learn where they will be competing in their first round battle and who their first opponent will be. We find Ash as he's checking into the Pokémon Village where he's told his first battle will be held on the Water Field. Since Misty's specialty is water Pokémon she offers to let him use some of hers, but Ash declines. Professor Oak suggests that he not go into battle with Squirtle as his only water Pokémon and sends over Krabby as a back up. Against the advice of his coaches, Brock and Misty, Ash begins the battle by using his Krabby who's never fought before.
