* SpotTheImpostor: Brock's ability to detect a fake Nurse Joy is seen here, when Ash and the gang are at Team Rocket's fake Pokémon Center setup. He notices he's not falling in love with Jessie's impersonation of Nurse Joy (while she is standing completely still in her Nurse Joy costume and mask, and not saying or doing anything) and then suspects the "Joy" of being an impostor.

* TheUnreveal: We never learn which Pokémon either Ash or his Rock field opponent were taken out before Squirtle and Nidorino were sent out, or both Ash and Pete's initial choices taken out before Kingler and Cloyster face off. We also never learn the name of Ash's Rock field opponent.
* TheWorfEffect: After seeing Kingler annihilating all three of its opponents in the last episode and keeping Cloyster on the defensive before defeating it, we watch it go down in one shot by Pete's powerful Arcanine despite having the type advantage.

Ash's second Pokémon League battle takes place on the Rock Field where he relies on his Squirtle to hopefully take down a Nidorino. In between matches, Ash needs to drop off his Pokémon at the Pokémon Center to have them taken care of. Team Rocket takes this opportunity to make one more attempt at stealing Pikachu. They set up a Pokémon Center of their own and when Ash drops off his Pokeballs, they grab them and run! When he finally gets his Pokémon back, Ash must race to make it to his third match of competition, which will be held on the Ice Field.

* DisguisedInDrag: James (of course) dresses up as a generic female nurse when luring Ash and his friends to their fake Pokémon Center. Not surprisingly, they fell for it and didn't even [[PaperThinDisguise recognize the "nurse"'s distinct short purple hair]].



* NoNameGiven: Ash's Rock field opponent is left unnamed in both the original and dub.

to:

* LatexPerfection: Subverted with Jessie's Nurse Joy mask; even though it's visually an accurate likeness, the face remains frozen in the same closed-eyes smile (this is probably why Jessie spent most of her time impersonating Nurse Joy by standing completely still and not saying or doing anything). Not surprisingly, Brock wasn't fooled by Jessie's Nurse Joy disguise.
