air asia x return to the gold coast for the first time since the pandemic. trump has arrived in new york to face criminal charggs hopefully if hes guilty he is arrested. littleproud is not the best person to lead the nats even though he is better than barnaby as he seems to be bringing more division to the coalition and hurting them policy wise. greg mirabella should not be liberal president in victoria he has done nothing for the party at all. a school principal who had commited sex abuse has finally been charged guilty of the crimes after the school and israel did everything to stop the person getting arrested in australia where the cries took place. a terroist attack in russia indicates how dangerous the conflict in ukraine has been on people and why russia should stop the war or there own citizens will be hurt. malcolm turnbull is right the liberals are self destructing and going too far to the right if only he did something about it as leader. the liberals have to find a way of negotiating on issues like climate change and the voice to parliament or housing or else they will become irrelevant and poliices will be more extreme because of the greens. indigeinous advocate yumpingu (sorry can’t spell it) passed away yesterday. it is crazy that the libs already want to change leader in victoria (at least in the consertaive wing) over trying to punish a right wing extreme member.

ash and friends are having a break when they spot a woubbofect which has them worried that team rocket are near by until they spot a lot of them. and they find a town full of them team rocket are in town and are treated well by the towns people. they even show team rocket the festival symbol a giant wobbofect. but the town is attacked by bad guys (not team rocket) which are some people out for revenge. and pokemon battles aren’t allowed which isn’t helpful to the town the bad guys beat almost all of the pokemon except jessies woubbofect but team rocket steal the food after rescuing the town that plan fails as usual.

next time duplica returns.

ash and friends are in the mountains when they encounter a ledian flying and run into its trainer who is part of a mountain patrol who patrol the mountains for trouble. and the two explain how they train the pokemon to help with rescues. but team rocket turn up and steal pikachu and togepi but get stuck in the mountains. ash and friends and the mountain patrol need to resuce them and its not easy as team rocket are on a rock that could fall but it all ends well.

next time a woubbofect festival.

ash and friends are in the mountians when they spot gary battle a trainer named alex who is using an alkazam against garys umbreon (an evolved eevee) with umbreon with the type advantage which leads to umbreon winning. ash wants a match against gary but he refuses. ash and friends go to a pokemon center when the power goes off due to team rocket ash and friends go and investigate as does gary nnd find men tied up and team rocket are responsible for it and can’t get too far as a result of the cable but there plan fails. getting the power back isn’t easy either but it works in the end.

next time mountain patrol rescue ash and friends.

ash is feeling sick in the stomach and runs into a guy who has a weird medicine which heals him despite the bad taste. the man explains that he uses shuckle juice to make medicine that he uses his bellsprout to help with and he is looking for a shiny one to help with the situation. but team rocket want it as well and accidently drink it wrong so all the pokemon fall for them which gets annoying but they fail at their plan as a result.

next time gary returns with an evolved pokemon.

on day 13 pagong end up sleeping late and the tribe is a bit on edge and more vunerable. while on tagi they are using the parachute from the rward to help with the shade. kelly is getting iritated with dirk and sean who are not working hard and are fishing at the wrong time of day sue agrees with kelly. the reward challenge is for food and is a target hitting challenge which is in 3 rounds after some practice the girlls are doing well with the blowgun for pagong. the first round is dart throwing sean v jenna which isn’t clear who won the 2nd round is slingshot gretchen v richard which is quite close but again not clear who won. sue v joel decides who wins reward joel wins it for pagong wining some chickens they call (breakfast lunch and dinner) as well as fruit. pagong are quite happy with their reward and getting momentum back. sue isn’t happy about losing though while dirk and sean try and pull their weight more around camp. there are rumors about greg and colleen having a relationship but thats not true. treemail indicates a challenge which involves rowing on the water while the rest swim obviously kelly (who is a professional rower) and gervase (who can’t swim) are going to be the rowers. but gervase easily leads pagong to victory. there are a few people on the chopping block but dirk is voted out 4-1-1 (over sue (dirks vote) and rudy (seans vote).

next time one of the most misagonistic things said on tv and a night challenge.

an lockheed electra departs cold bay alaska for seattle with 10 passengers 2 flight attendnats and 3 pilots on board. when a propeller seperates from the mount and strikes a hole in the floor the crew struggle to find a suitable airport to divert to and even consider ditching before diverting to anchorage but landing is very difficult due to the throttles being stuck at high power so they have to shut down extra engines but land safely why the propeller came off remains a mystery.

next time a dc-9 is on fire can they make it back to the airport.

brock hears from suzy who says she needs vulpix for a breeding contest which brocks helps her enter but a guy named zane whose her rival also enters with his ninetails (the evolved form of vulpix) and team rocket try and steal the pokemon. brock gives vulpix back to suzy before the contest. team rocket cheat their way to the front of the queque due to being 259 originally but there plan fails we don’t know who won the contest.

next time weird affection.

ash and friends are taking a break when they see a poliwrath attacking mistys poliwhirl which annoys her and the poliwraths trainer doesn’t want to battle because of a fishing contest taking place to catch seaking. so ash and misty both enter as well and enters with pikachu and poliwhirl respectfully. the guy proves to be tough and catches a seaking quickly team rocket also enter but doesn’t do well and end up tangled with ash and friends at what point. both ash and misty do get a seaking eventually. misty and the guy tie at the end so they have to battle to decide who wins which despite poliwhirls nerves ends up wining the prize of choclates.

next time suzy returns for a breeding contest.

ash and friends continue their journey and decide to have a break in a hot spring with their pokemon but the johto starters fight when the ball they use goes missing and end up going after it but the aipom make it tricky and team rocket try and interfere as well although meowth gets seperated from jessie and james it doesn’t help a snorlax keeps intefering than the pokemon head towards a waterfall which won’t help but ash saves the pokemon.

next time a seaking catching contest.

ash is able to use bulbasaur to stop a stampeding tauros for an old man who runs a dojo and he wants ash to take over the dojo instead of his granddaughter who has a weird strategy of training using rhythm this leads to an argument about this and someone else wants to take it over as well who battles the mans hitomunchun with hitmonlee and than the granddaughter uses hitmontop and the match doesn’t finish due to team rocket. before the rematch ash helps her train her hitmontop and that helps her win the rematch and will take over the dojo.

next time ash’s starters fight.

ash and friends encounter a storm so they hide in a castle to get out of the storm and find its a clinic that uses zubats supersonic to help heal pains but team rocket steal brock and the doctors zubat and is tough to get out of trouble from traps under the castle but it does end well and brocks zubat evolves into golbat which means she won’t need brocks help i the future.

next time a odd battling style at a dojo.

ash and friends encounter a pidgey being chased by a fearow so ash uses noctowl to help which it works and they run into the grandson of the pidgey express man who is worried about the pidgey is granddad doesn’t want him to continue the family bussiness which is not that good but after a resuce from team rocket it all ends well and the boy will succeed his granddad in the family bussiness.

on childrens day at united 1989 a dc-10 on its way from denver to chicago has an engine explode destroying the hydrollics and even a passenger who is already a senior pilot ends up helping and they almost like sioux city they crash onto the airfield killing 112 of 289 people the cause was a crack in the engine which caused it to explode and destroy the hydrolics how they nearly landed was amazing and until the dhl misile hit was the closest a plane had come to landing without hydrolics.

next time season 12 an electra crew have to make desperate decisions

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.

next time the pidgey express.

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.

next time fossil pokemon.

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.

next time what type is a soddowoddo.

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.

next time a bizzare radio show.

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.

next time a rematch in a dairy.

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.

next time a dc-10 engine explodes.

collingwood confirm their credentionals with a 14 point win over richmond. penrith smash canberra 53-12 while storm beat rabitohs 18-10. aegean resume flights to biringham from athens while bonza launches flights from newcastle to prosperpine. the aston by election is today with duttons job as liberal leader sort of on the line. how mark latham is still in a political job is beyond me due to his constant flipping and bad behaviour. no one can afford stadium upgrades the nrl and afl should know how hard it is to find money for things that matter much less for them. donald trump has been arrested sort of which if he did things illegal should happen no matter who you are. russia wants to give north korea food in exchange for weapons which is interesting.

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.

next time my favourite pokemon movie of all time.

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.

next time a big ghost machine.;

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.

a 737 flight is thrown off guard by a bad thunderstorm and than loses both engines and struggle to make a landing at new orleans and eventually have to land in a flood covered levy luckily no one is killed the cause was the crew pusihng the throttles forward too early when restarting the engines in a storm causing them to overheat but the landing was amazing.

next time a foggy colision in milan.

just a note i am going back to the begining of my survivor write ups. 16 players are marrooned in borneo split into two tribes.

tagi – sonya, stacy, dirk, sean, susan (sue), rudy, kelly and richard

pagong – bb, ramona, joel, gretchen, greg, jenna, gervase and colleen

the 16 players start by walking through a malaysian fishing village before heading to borneo where they will spend 39 days. on a boat the 16 players start salvaging supplies which takes a while and leads to a lot of team work. jeff probst the host explains the rules saying they must vote someone out every 3 days. tagi reach theior beach two hours after the start and are quite excited. rudy who is 72 is already worried about his age being a factor. pagong take longer to get to shore but do get there with ramona exhuasted and is quite exhausted. tagi decides to discuss how to set up shelter but disagree on strategy while richard watches and tries to bring the team together. richard is a bit arroagant in confession though but still tries to bring the team together. on pagong bb and ramona go looking for the water hole and try and figure out the map which bb wants to use as a bargining tool. rudy realises that he has to fit in with the younger crowd. sean reveals he is a doctor and helps sonja with her injury to her leg. sonja entertains the tribe with bye bye blues on a ukelle which impresses richard. bb is getting annoyed at the tribes work ethic and is especially annoyed at joel and gets into an argument with gretchen over it. both tribes work on fire which is not easy without flint. jeff (the host) explains treemail and the first challenge is for reward (water proof matches) and immunity. the challenge is quest for fire which is an obstacle course race lighting torches as you go. its a close race but sonja falls costing tagi the challenge sending them to tribal. facing tribal the vote is between sonja and rudy the oldest members of the tribe stacy tries to get the girls to allign but sues against the idea richard wants to vote stacy. at tribal they start the ritual of lighting torches. the conversation starts on the trek to tribal and sonja says the competition is harder than she thought. in the end sonja is voted out 4-3-1 (sue, dirk, rudy and sean vote for her) (stacy, kelly and sonja vote for rudy) (richard votes for stacy).

next time bb wants out already and they eat disgusting food.
