** Complete with at least one [[Disney Death]]! That is, unless they're [[Killed Off for Real]] (see below).
* [[Blinding Bangs]]: The ghost-girl in "''Ghoul Daze!''"
* [[Bottle and Switch Episode]]:
** "Pokémon Shipwreck" takes place mostly in the sunken St. Anne ship. Turns out that Ash and his friends, along with Team Rocket, are still alive! The boat has maintained a pocket of air for them, but it won't last for long. Misty takes charge because she knows the layout of the St. Anne's from building a model, and orders everyone to call truce so she can find a safe way out for them. The third act then takes place on a raft that the kids all made, with Team Rocket tagging along after nearly drowning. After they anger James's new Magikarp by accident, it evolves into a Gyrados that summons other Gyrados, and sets them all swirling in a cyclone. One of the most beautiful and devastating scenes emerges, separating everyone in the storm.
** One episode features Ash, Misty and Brock visiting a haunted place in Lavender Town to catch a ghost Pokémon. It seems at first that the ghosts in question will chase them out, but Ash needs one of them to defeat Sabrina in a fair gym battle. So he goes in alone with Pikachu, only for a chandelier to fall on them. The rest of the episode has the ghosts showing an [[Astral Projection]] Ash and Pikachu their view of the world, from the Lavender Town views to their toy room before Ash and Pikachu decide to return to life.
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: A variation; the calls are commands by a trainer for the Pokémon to execute a specific technique/attack, as the Pokémon can use them without human intervention.
** The Pokemon showboat episode implies that the Pokemon do this, but we can't tell because of Pokemon speak and the dubbing process.
