We get a lot of filming in the middle of the episode, and these scenes are actually pretty good. The first few scenes are perfect, and they come to the final battle. The scene goes perfectly and Ash defeats Cilan, but Team Rocket appears in a hovercraft and kidnaps Zorua. I love how Team Rocket is completely surprised when their hovercraft is destroyed by a shadow ball. They have absolutely no precautions for if someone attacks them as they commit blatantly illegal actions.

Cilan decides this is perfect for ad libbing, and throws off his pirate costume, saying that Team Rocket mind controlled him into being a villain. Iris and Cilan (but oddly enough, not Ash) combine their powers to fight Team Rocket in a scene that makes it clear that Jessie and James had absolutely no chance of success and thus, from a movie’s perspective, nothing is actually at stake. Team Rocket escapes, but during the battle, it’s revealed that the princess is a Zorua, so, knowing that the "Zorua is the princess" bit is ruined, it's “revealed” that Iris is the princess, and she disguised Zorua as herself. Um… not to be weird about things, but, uh… Iris looks like this,

And Zorua’s character looks like this.


Well, whatever, we see that Luke's movie was a huge success, and the theater owner mentions a battle tournament in Nimbasa City that would be good to enter for Luke so he can learn more about shooting battle scenes - this is a convenient excuse for a filler arc, I guess, so the heroes all decide to enter as well.

Honestly, this is a pretty good episode. Nothing more to say about it.
