This is the sixty-third episode of Total Pokémon Action, the finale of the season. The finalists compete in mini versions of all of the 52 challenges from the season. Each of the girls get 26 challenges, odds or evens. Then, they have to make their way back to the start, climb the stairs, and be the first to find Cresselia.

After reminiscing about the season and discussing their goals, Ninetales and Zoroark meet Jellicent to find out their final challenge. Jellicent explains to them that the final movie of the day is Back to the Future. As such, their challenge is to complete mini versions of the 52 challenges this season. They start to freak out, but they are reassured that it will be split between them 26 each. For winning the last challenge, Ninetales gets to choose whether she wants to do the odd challenges or the even challenges. She chose the odds, so she gets to start where she is. But, Zoroark has to follow Bouffalant to get her first task. First to finish all of their 26 challenges and reach Cresselia wins the game.

For Ninetales, her first task is to avoid Mightyena long enough to find Mawile or face a penalty. She takes off as Jellicent leaves to get a drink. Zoroark, at the beach set, runs into the water to get Audino and bring her back to shore. As she reaches Audino and starts carrying her, Ninetales finds Mawile. She is informed that her next task is to rescue Skarmory from Oranguru and Passimian. Zoroark returns Audino to Bouffalant and heads to Queendra to find the black pearl for her. Ninetales knocks out Oranguru and Passimian, but then realizes she has to climb up the tower where Skarmory is in order to finish the challenge. Meanwhile, Zoroark finds the black pearl. Now that Skarmory is back on the ground, Ninetales is free to go sing a duet with Furret. As she heads out, Zoroark gives Queendra the black pearl and heads out to dig up Arcanine who was buried alive on the desert set. Ninetales sings her duet with Furret as Zoroark digs up Arcanine. He tells her that she needs to go to the jungle set and make sure the dragon captures Tropius. As she leaves to do this, Ninetales returns Leavanny parts to Leavanny. Next, she has to beat Simisear in a boxing match.

Zoroark looks away as the Garchomp takes Tropius and Ninetales knocks Simisear down. Zoroark finds herself in the high school set tasked with insulting Altaria to Sylveon's liking. Problem is, she had never met Altaria so she had to make stuff up. Ninetales helps Pachirisu find Bibarel and Pachirisu jumps off her back, then falls through the ice. When Zoroark finally finishes her task, Ninetales is destroying robot pokémon with Metagross. Zoroark rushes to catch up and demolishes Hitmonlee in a lightsaber fight. Then, Ninetales has to convince Manaphy and Smeargle to kiss. Manaphy is into it because he finds Smeargle cute, but Smeargle doesn't want to cheat on Arcanine. But, Ninetales convinces them to do it to Smeargle's dismay. Zoroark searches the pyramid for Claydol who is hidden in a coffin, but she quickly finds him because of his yelling. Ninetales shoots Minun and Plusle with a laser gun as Snorlax tries to block. Zoroark takes the mystic water from Gothitelle by force and swims up the sinking ship. She expresses how good it felt to do that. Ninetales helps Vanilluxe work out their differences as Zoroark plays 20 questions with Togekiss to find the combo and get out of the locked safe. Ninetales looks for the real Jynx in a room of Jynx statues, but she sneezes and gives herself away. Zoroark gets the combo and leaves the safe as Ninetales finds Masquerain on the farm set to take her back to the main lot. It cuts to the peanut gallery as Blissey and Reuniclus update them saying Ninetales has a 2 or 3 challenge lead. Espeon is not happy about it, so she tells Umbreon to get Hitmonchan, Ninetales's boyfriend, and meet her outside. They try to convince Hitmonchan to go with them and cheer Ninetales on. He doesn't agree to it, so Espeon forces him to come by grabbing him psychically. Ambipom is shocked by Zoroark who is climbing the building faster than him. Ninetales is faced with the impossible task of flipping Wailord over in the dojo. Azumarill, Castform, Cherrim, Chimecho, Dragonite, Gallade, Luvdisc, Luxray, Parasect, Staraptor, and Unown are unable to find Zoroark who reveals she transformed into Shaymin to hide better. Ninetales finally finishes flipping Wailord over and hurries to catch up as Zoroark works on making an ice sculpture of Ampharos for Ampharos. Ninetales is stopped by Umbreon who worries her by saying Hitmonchan is in trouble. She follows him and walks in on Espeon kissing Hitmonchan. As this goes down, Zoroark finishes the sculpture and moves on. Hitmonchan tries to calm down the enraged Ninetales and explain that he was tricked. Then, Ninetales tells him to move out of the way and she blows fire on the twins. Zoroark brings Farfetch'd to Lopunny then takes off as Lopunny kicks Farfetch'd away from her. Ninetales explains that she would never believe the twins over Hitmonchan and leaves to get back in the challenge. Zoroark answers a riddle from Glaceon.

Ninetales helps Froslass find Glalie. Back at the peanut gallery, Espeon and Umbreon get scolded. Zoroark takes Bisharp down in a duel as Ninetales races Mega Absol. Zoroark goes back into the arena and knocks Banette out as Ninetales puts on a clown wig to give Gorebyss a laugh. Zoroark fails to detonate Bellossom's bomb in time, so it blows up in her face. Literally. Ninetales throws her ninja star further than Mismagius at Swoobat's request. Girafarig lets Zoroark push her into the Sharpedo-infested water so she can advance. Ninetales gives Arbok a taste of his own medicine and sacrifices him to the "vampires". Zoroark finds a soul as Ninetales outlasts Porygon-Z on the Ekans-infested plane. Zoroark returns the soul to Sudowoodo and moves onto enduring Gastrodon's panicking and Drifblim's chastising. Ninetales and the 12 children help Shaymin find a gracidea flower so she can become Skymin. As the timer runs out, Zoroark gets away from Gastrodon and Drifblim as soon as she can. Ninetales runs from the traps in the maze as Delcatty sets them off. Zoroark has to correctly answer trivia questions about Leafeon. Leafeon comments on how Ninetales would've had an easier time with it since they were close. Ninetales hangs onto the plane wing as Gliscor flies off. Then, she walks into the chocolate factory to find Purugly and finds out that she will be pelted with 20 candies while Purugly ridicules her. Zoroark and Vespiquen blow up one of the trailers. Ninetales, in the chocolate river, realizes Purugly still gets to throw the remaining candies at her. Zoroark ignores Carnivine's unhelpful advice and finds the Goldeen. Ninetales convinces Dewgong that she believes in the joy of Christmas. Pachirisu helps lead Zoroark who is blindfolded and Ninetales finds 2/3 Misdreavuses with the help of Milotic. Persian tells Zoroark that she has to complete 3 dares from him. However, he admits that Ninetales would've been easier to torture. Houndoom decides to help Ninetales take down her former enemy Deoxys and Zoroark chases Floatzel down to reduce his HP to 0 with spells.

Both finalists are neck and neck as they meet back where they started the challenge and race up the stairs. They give each other a look and a nod before it goes down. In the end, Zoroark reaches Cresselia first and wins it all. It is emotional, but Ninetales hugs her and tells her good job. Jellicent takes the place of aftermath host and interviews the finalists. Zoroark reveals that she is going to use some of her winnings to help Ninetales achieve her dreams that they talked about. And to close the show out, Jellicent expresses that she hopes to see the viewers again soon which makes Mismagius immediately say nope. But, Jellicent winks at the camera knowing they were already signed for another season.
