ash’s gym badges are taken by a bunch of murkrow which annoys ash so they need to get them back even if they are nice but team rocket also try and steal them but it all ends well.
ash and friends are at a cafe and decide to head for olivine or mahgaony and find out about a tea ceremony and than spot an eevee and its trainer sakura who is the sister of the tea ceremony runners. brock immediatley falls for sakuras sisters which annoys them when they realise it. team rocket want to steal the pokemon of the sisters when they find out they are evolved forms of eevee. sakura wants to go on her own journey but her sisters don’t want to and after a battle with teaem rocket she decides to delay going on her journey.
ash is worried about strategy for his gym match against morty until he is reminded by nurse joy about noctowls foresight attack can reveal ghosts. team rocket meanwhile want to use the item finder (well mostly james) to get more treasure. ash uses noctowl against gastly which foresight helps but still can’t land an attack so he switches to pikachu which uses quick attack but its not strong enough and loses the round so he switches to cynadaquil which beats gastly so morty uses haunter which is hard to land a hit but the match is close but cynadaquil loses so he uses noctowl which beats hautner and than learns confusion to beat gengar to win ash the fog badge.
after tribal some of the tribe are shocked that gretchen was voted out and some of pagong think it was a conspiracy. richard says it was because she was a threat sean is not happy with the situation. jenna tries to get a girls alliance which despite no girls going for a while sue doesn’t want an alliance. rudy is upset about less food and sleeping space. richard is doing the fishing a lot more to keep the tribe fed and doesn’t feel appreciated. greg spends more time with richard and literally ends it with colleen. treemail indicates a reward from home and a bow and arrow challenge. the reward is a video from home which jenna wasn’t sent one. greg wins the reward of seeing his whole video and making one of his own. gregs video is quite weird and jenna is upset at what happened and misses home. sue wants gervase gone as he is lazy. tree mail indicates the immunity challenge is a ropes course which is tricky but gervase wins pretty convicingly. sean wants to continue the alphabet voting strategy and since gervase is immune votes for greg but the rest of tagi and jenna join that plan and greg is the first juror 6-3 over jenna.

next time the jury starts a weird loved ones video and a rope course.

ash and friends arrive at the ruins of alph and meet professor oak who is visiting an old friend and shows him and a student about the fosils of pokemon. team rocket meanwhile are taking water from the area and find oymanite which they decide to steal a lot of them but they are spotted and leads to a battle that as usual team rocket loses when they get too much than they can carry.
ash and friends find out a bridge is out and they have to get accross a river another way so they find a man who wants a soddowoodo and they when looking for one find a scientist couple also looking for one as they are aruging over if its a rock or grass type. they try and battle it which leads to more confusion due to the mimic attack. team rocket steal the soddowoodo but there plan as usual fails overall and can’t figure it out either. we figure out its a rock type and the man is the father of the female scientist.
ash and friends are at the national park where a bug type catching contest is so ash enters and is reunited with casey who is also entering and the rivaliry reignites. team rocket aren’t allowed to enter due to the age requiremnet but enter. casey gets several bug pokemon before ash even ones ash saw first while misty tries to hide and team rocket do weird tactics that don’t work. eventually casey tries to get a scyther but pushes chikorita too hard and chikorita gets away from casey and is upset which has casey emotional and admits she has become selfish. meanwhile ash catches a beedril but team rocket steal pikachu but casey stops them and her chikorita evolves into bayleef and finishes team rocket off and ash gives casey the beedril.
ash somehow meets a radio presenator who wants to interview ash for the station based in goldenrod city. team rocket find the radio studio as well. ash is interviewed by dj mary who is the host and ash is quite nervous but it still goes well after she calms him down and we find out that ash will head for eketek city. when they find some of the tapes mising team rocket and ash and friends have to be on a radio drama but team rocket completly change the script in a confusing way and eventually try and steal pikachu but the plan competly fails as usual. ash and friends continue their journey.
next time a bug catching contest mistys not happy.
ash is discouraged after losing his gym battle and almost goes back to pallet but brock convinces him to stay on his journey and whitney takes them to her family dairy where they get to experiencce miltank close up but teeam rocket who somehow get back from safron city quickly (the end of the magnet train) decide to steal the miltank and the things at the dairy but fail as usual. ash works with the miltank before he challenges whitney to a rematch after another team rocket attempt fails. ash uses a good strategy for the rematch and after cyndaquil and todotile change the path pikachu wins the match and ash gets the plain badge his 3rd johto badge even though it wasn’t acctually in a gym.
ash and friends arrive in goldenrod city which is a big metropolis which ash wants to go striaght to the gym despite misty and brock wanting to sight see but the gym is closed so they look for the galeria which brock leads them to but gets lost when pikachu spots a clafairy and its trainer whitney (who brock has a crush on as usual). they get lost but find the galleria eventually (when looking for a hamburger stand). team rocket meanwhile eat more than just free samples which means they have to work it off but try and steal clafairy but end up on the magnet train tracks which pikachu sends them flying down when getting clafairy back. we find out whitney is the gym leader and ash battles her 3 on 3. the first match is nidorina v cynadaquil which cynadaquil wins and than beats clafairy but miltank is last and proves too tough for cyndaquil todotile and pikachu so ash loses the match and is a little discouraged.
on tagi they go fishing and sean doesn’t think there is much fish. stacy tries to get sue to vote for rudy but she wants to vote for stacy (for being weak). on pagong the lack of food is effecting them gretchen colleen and greg are looking for tapoica and find a mud volcano. dirk starts preaching on tagi which annoys some of the tribe with his religious views there also rumors he has a crush on kelly which is not going to work. the reward challenge involves a race underwater to get a treasure chest which has gervase nervous as he can’t swim so tagi win easily the fishing gear reward which has richard excited and even though sean and dirk don’t think he can get fish richard does. while pagong eats rats despite gervase and ramona being reluctant. the immunity challenge involves buidling a stretcher for the smallest member and resucing them from the jungle (Kelly and colleen respectively are the smallest) pagong win the challenge in a close race.the vote is between stacy and rudy for being weak in the end in a controversal 5-2 vote (kelly votes for rudy with stacy) stacy is voted out the reason of controversy is possible producer interference effecting dirk and seans votes.
next time colleen isn’t happy about loisng spice racks.
an md-87 for sas crashes on takeoff from milan linate and they find a cesna citation is also missing and the planes clearly colided killing all on the planes and a few on the ground the cause of the crash was lack of safety for navigating in fog which lead to the controller not knowing where the citation is leading to them not following the taxi route right into the path of the taking off md-87.

a dad reads a book about legendry pokemon to his daughter molly who is very excited about entei when the dad is called to investigate some ruins of unown when he is trapped. molly whose mum is also missing makes a weird wish to the unown that leads to an entei appearing to protect her as a dad figure. ash and friends are nearby when ash is challenged to a 6 on 6 battle by a girl. which todotile beats granbul. chikorita loses to girfarig, noctowl beats aipom, bulbasaur loses to butterfree, cynadquil beats mankey and pikachu and quagsire draw. after the battle the conversation reveals they are now greenfields which is normally a beautfiul place but due to molly has been turned into a cyrstalised landscape. professor oak and ash’s mum decide to head there as well due to knowing mollys family (the hale family). entei kidnaps ash’s mum so molly can have a mum using hypnosis ash goes after it despite professor oaks complaints with misty and brock. while molly enjoys the situation. team rocket are in the area but don’t have much to do with the movie. molly when she sees ash using pokemon decides to battle him even though she’s too young so the unown give her some made up pokemon to battle brock takes her on and loses than misty does lose as well (a rare battle for zubat and vulpix). while ash closes in on molly. ash tries to get his mum and molly to safety but molly refuses and ash has to battle entei which is impossible even charizard that comes to ash’s rescue can’t beat it but molly stops the battle at this point the unown lose control leading to a serious situaiton and molly must get entei to belive in him which works and it all ends well. overall an all time classic and still my favourite many years later.
score 10/10
songs “pokemon johto movie version” battle at the start “to know the unown” closing credits.
ash and friends find out about fortune telling at a pokemon center which tells you what type of pokemon you are from a book they buy a book from some old people who are acctually butch and cassidy as part of a scam to get a lot of pokemon. misty finds out she is gyrados type which she is not happy about that and gets angry when team rocket trap them. james find out he is a moltres type which leads to him getting overconfident and decides to rob the breeding center where ash and friends got the book it is when they reveal that butch and cassidy are running. but team rockets plans are stopped by ash and friends and officer jenny says the books are fake.
ash and friends find a trainer tip about ghost types to be careful and psychic types are recomended. and run into a girl with a girrfarig a psychic type which she explains lives in a village of psychic types which team rocket want to steal. the battle between pikachu and girrafrig shows off the power of future sight. in town they hear about a giant gengar (thats team rockets contraption) that they want to use to steal pokemon but there plan fails as usual due to future sight.
next time butch and cassidy are back and james is delusional.
ash and friends are taking a break when team rocket attack to get the pokemon but a bunch of usuraing attack which leads to ash and friends as well as team rocket getting split up and are forced to get a truce. with ash brock and jessie ending up together while meowth, james and misty are stuck together with meowth leading james and misty to get lost into a cave of usuraing and eventually lead to a lot of arguing while jessie tries to take pikachu but fails. they end up struggling to get away from the usuaring which we find out are in their mating season but it all ends well with team rocket getting their normal fate.
ash and friends are in a dark forrest when they spot a scientist trying to grab the attention of a shiny noctowl which he wants to catch but ash is also interested in catching it but its hypnosis attack keeps confusing them. the man doctor wiseman wants to catch it as its rare and unusual. they disagaree on strategy but team rocket also want it and try and steal it. noctowl helps ash’s pokemon team up to beat team rocket and ash catches the noctowl.
next time angry ursuring leads to a team rocket break up.

ash and friends are on the coast heading for goldenrod city in pampona when they meet a trainer named benny and his wobbofect team rocket are in town when they find out about a trade meet and decide to plan to steal all the pokemon. the first thing ash seees is a tauros battle tornoument so ash sends heracross to professor oak so he can compete which has tauros wins. ash refuses to trade pokemon despite being under preasure to. but team rocket plan to take all the pokemon and james uses the proceeds to buy from the magikarp salesman (from season 1). jessie and benny accidently swap wobbofect for lickutung. it all ends well for everyone except jessie who is confused about getting a wobbofect which can’t attack except using counter and mirror coat (which deflects attacks).
ash and friends are in the ilex forest heading for goldenrod city the next city with a gym when they spot a trainer training his farfetch’d which runs away he is trying to learn to cut for purfying charcoal. they look for it but team rocket are also after it for food. and ash has to battle team rocket to get it back which he does.
ash is ready for the gym battle and says even without charizard he has a good chance to win the badge. they find out it is a bug type gym which scares misty entirely. ash battles bugsy the leader in a 3 on 3 match. bugsy uses spinarak against cyndaquil which can’t get warmed up and ash switches to chikorita (despite a type disadvantage). chikorita knocks spinarak out but loses to metapod in a suprsiing match. team rocket plan to steal the bug types or pikachu. ash uses pikachu against metapod which is able to win that round but scyther is too tough for pikachu forcing ash to use cyndaquil which even when it gets ready for fire type attacks still can’t get around scythers swords dance but still wins the match giving ash his 2nd johto badge. ash and friends than get the pokeballs from macey (Kurt made them).
ash and friends introduce themselves as doing an errand for professor oak and tell kurt and macey (the girl from the last ep whose his grandaughter) and give them the ball but still he can’t figure out what it is. ash rings professor oak to tell him and oak tells ash about apricorns so they decide to get some to get pokeballs made. ash and friends get pokeballs to use from apricorns and decide to get more but team rocket want to steal them. macey shows them around and its tough to get the balls as they spot pineco in the tree (a bug type). team rocket trap ash and friends to get the apricorns and pikachu but ash and friends get out of the hole quickly. but it all ends well and brock catches pineco. ash and friends give the apricorns to kurt and they head for the gym in town.
ash and friends arrive in azaela town which is in drought due to the heat and lakc of water and find the gym is closed. team rocket find a well but very limited water and decide to try and get the water and encounter some slowpoke. ash and friends decide to look for kurt (the pokeball expert mentioned in an earlier ep) but ash steps on some slowpoke tails which annoys them and the town residents but are rescued by a man wearing a slowpoke suit. ash is told by a woman that kurt isn’t home when they find his house. so they go to the well where the guy is and find team rocket trying to steal the slowpoke but they are stopped by ash and friends with help from the slowpoke despite pikachus shocking not helping due to the water and the slowpoke create a rain storm that fixes the drought. we find out the man is kurt who helped them earlier.
