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.

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.
the food situation at tagi is dire that they are going fishing so they don’t have to eat rat stacy thnks rudy voted for her last time (it was richard who wants to learn about stacy). stacy and rudy are not getting along at all due to the generation gap and work etthic. at pagong bb is still overworking according to jenna thats a good thing but it s a worry to gretchen about over doing it bbs annoyed at ramonas work etthic. bb doesn’t even know greg and jennas name. richard talks about being gay which you think would annoy rudy but the person annoyed is the religious guy dirk. ramona is the most lazy on pagong and is quite weak at this point. greg thinks bb is sstrong willed. colleen and greg start going off to explore a lot on their own and bond a lot. that night pagong do a weird newly stranded survivor game which is like a newly wed game and is quite weird. bb is geetting worried about the shelter and wants to work on it all day and says the tribe is lazy he critiercises joel for his attitude. bb washes his clothes in the drinking water which annoys the tribe and wants to go and get it just before nightfall which is not wise. before the immunity challenge bb says he wants to throw it but the tribe disagree and treemail indicates a food challenge. ramona thinks she can eat anything. eat tribe member fo reh challenge has to eat beattle larvae if everyone eats it than it goes to a tiebreaker anyone who refuses loses the challenge for their tribe gervase has the most trouble but everyone gets it down. so the tie breaker is stacy v gervase and stacy wins for tagi. ramona and bb are mostly on the chopping block for being weakest with bb bossiness and ramonas laziness doesn’t help. the tribal conversation is about leadership and than they say they bonded. in the end greg votes with bb for ramona but the rest of the tribe vote bb sending him home 6-2.
next time a stretcher challenge a controversal wet tribal council.

ash and friends are now in another town where they run into a woman gardening who is getting her sunflora ready for a competition but team rocket want to steal the prize instant noodles but there plan fails partly due to snubble appearing.
ash and friends are getting tired on their journey to azaela town. they have an argument over if using charizard is fair when they run into a woman named liza with her charizard who trains them. ash has to learn how to fly on charizard which he hasn’t yet. ash struggles to get charizard there and he challenges a wild one to a match but loses badly. so ash works on charizards strength to get into the valley but doesn’t work in convincing it and eventually it works in getting it in.
ash and friends continue their journey and are having a break when team rocket attack with a arbotank meanwhile togepi makes friends with a sentret and they get in the tank and when ash and friends find out they have to stop it so they work with team rocket to make a plan to stop the tank. it takes a lot of effort but they stop it and make a path into town for the locals in the process.
ash and friends head for azaela town when they spot a girl looking out over a cliff and a crying marril which misty tries to catch but team rocket attack and than the girl reveals herself as marrils trainer. meanwhile misty maril and pikachu barely get to safety from a waterfall and misty has to keep it under control. while ash and brock help the girl find marrill but it all ends well (well except for brock who wanted the girl to love him)
next time togepi makes a friend that leads to problems.
ash and friends are ready for ash’s gym battle when team rocket try and take pikachu but the gym leader falkner helps beat them with his hoothoot. the match is 3 on 3 ash uses chikorita despite the type disadvantage against hoothoot and loses the first match but pikachu beats hoothoot. so he uses dodrio (a flying type that can’t fly) and pikachu wins but pidgeot is too tough for pikachu so ash uses charizard in an aerial battle ash comes from behind to win his first johto badge.
ash and friends arrive in violet city and run into a teacher from the pokemon accedemy and her students who brocks agrees to help show the class pokemon. ash explains to the class about how many pokemon he has battled and how well he did at the pokemon league. one of the kids wants pikachu and tries to take it from ash or agree to a trade but it doesn’t work and he accidentally catches a bellsprout instead during a team rocket scheme. meanwhile misty and brock go with the class to the sprout tower where team rocket try and destroy it in exchange for pikachu but the plan fails and the kid realises how valuable bellsprout is and gives up on pikachu.

ash and friends arrive in florrando when they find out about a pokemon talent show and meet a trainer with some belossom who is entering but there routine has trouble. team rocket try and steal the show than the pokemon but don’t succeed at either which is most of the ep.
ash and friends are lost in a forrest that is confusing and borrow a hoothoot from a trianer that isn’t good at stopping the illusions (gary has a cameo in this ep as well as does agatha of the elite 4). the hoothoot likes misty who is the only one who has confidence in it and gets scared but helps get ash and friends out of trouble with team rocket.

ash and friends are on the outskirts of newbark town in the johto region and are a bit lost in a fog when they spot a legendry pokemon that they don’t recognise. team rocket find the elm labratory and decide to steal the totodile thats in there while elm is distracted. ash and friends arrive in town and head to the pokemon center to register for the league and find nurse joy is at the elm labratory but is overdue and they find officer jenny at the lab as well. they hear about the stolen pokemon. we are introduced to the other johto starter cynadaquil (chikorita was given to a trainer the day before). and elm introduces himself. jessie and meowth argue over who should get the credit for the robbery. the battle against team rocket goes well as usual for ash and friends sending team rocket blasting off again after a bit of a battle. ash registers for the johto league and is told to head for violet city for the first gym.
ash is ready to battle gary with his pikachu versing gary’s eevee which in a upset eevee wins and ash finds out gary is going to johto next so ash decides to go there next to enter the johto league with brock travelling with them again and tracy staying behind at oaks lab they also are told to find kurt a pokeball creator. team rocket decide to steal the pokemon again but there plan fails with tracys pokemon and ash’s mums mr mime helping. ash and friends leave pallet for johto.
ash and friends are back in pallet town tracy is excited to meet professor oak while ash goes to see his mum and is shocked to see brock is back in town but are excited to see him but he doesn’t reveal why he left professor ivy because it is upsetting. ash’s mum tells them what happened. tracy than gets ash and misty to take him to the lab but team rocket plan to rob the lab. oak shows tracy around the lab but team rocket attack with a tent plan to trap ash and friends and the pokemon but gary rescues everyone with his nidoqueen so ash challenges gary to a match after team rocket are sent blasting off.
next time who will win the first match between ash and gary.
ash and friends are about to try and board a ship back to pallet town at least whats they think but the island they are trying to leave from is dangeorous due to electrode exploding and the boats are cancelled. togepi makes friends with voltorb they meet a diglet rangler who is trying to get the electrode to safety without damaging the town but is having limited luck. but the mayor hires team rocket to finish the job for him and this leads to annoyance from ash and friends but there plan fails as well partly due to poncho (the guys) dugtrio. everything ends well though.

the battle between lapras and gengar ends a double kockout meaning drake is down to 3 ash still has 5 pokemon left.the next match is venasaur vs tauros with the laters attacks not being that effective but venasaur attacks don’t do much either and tauros wins so he uses electrabuzz so ash uses bulbasaur but bulbasaur loses so ash uses charizard which is a better match despite the type disadvantage but wins so drake only has dragonite which despite being 4 on one proves to be quite a challenge beating charizard easily and than squirtle and than tauros team rocket intefere to steal dragonite but fail. ash uses pikachu in the final match which is quite a match but pikachu wins making ash orange island champion.

a man reads an acient profesy about the legendry birds and the beast of the sea and plans to steal the legendry birds starting with moltres with his main goal to get lugia. he succeeds at getting moltres. ash and friends are sailing along in a booat in the mean time and relaxing in the sunshine to have a break and let the pokemon out for a rest when a storm hits forcing them towards to the center of the islands called shomuti (which is also where team rocket end up) the weather is also wild as far as away as kanto. we find out on the island is a big celebration and a girl named melody is following in her mums footsteps as the lead in the celebration and ash earns the right to travel to the three islands to get the gems of the legendries for the celebration. ash and the woman who took him to the island head off to get the gems and go to fire island first in the storm which they are able to get. melody misty and tracy follow behind them as do team rocket. the boat is wrecked on fire island. they head for lightning island next but zapdos beats them there and pikachu tries to communicate with it. at this point the man from earlier the villian comes to steal zapdos but accidentally takes ash friends and team rocket as well who try and free the legendry pokemon after he explains the plan. ash and friends are able to free the legendries with auticuno now involved its an all out fight. ash has the lighning island orb but not the ice one where he has to go at this point lugia appears but is no match for the other legendries on its own and despite getting ash to ice island (with team rocket are able to hold on) they fail at getting back so the song helps with the situation and despite another attack from the villian it all ends well and ash even gets to ride on lugias back.
overall quite an interesting moive a classic but there are better ones.
score 8.5/10
songs

ash and friends are crusiing along on lapras when a trainer hits them in his boat. ash is challenged to a match by the trainer although team rocket are watching. the first match is poliwrath v pikachu which despite a type advantage pikachu loses so he uses charizard which does worse and gets frozen so ash before a rematch decides to help thaw it out and get its respect which acctualy works and charizard saves pikachu from team rocket while listening to ash. ash wins the rematch with the trainer and they continue their journey.
