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.
ash and friends continue to travel through the orange islands heading back to pallettown when lapras spots its old school who are being attacked by pirates lead by captain crook so they hide. team rocket where also attacked by him and his crew. ash’s lapras helps protect its school but its not easy even with mistys water types help. ash and friends beat the pirates and it all ends well so ash releases lapras to return to its school of lapras.
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.

ash is excited abuot the orange league that he and tracy crash into a viloplume which stun spore paralises them which knocks them out so misty looks for savelo weed which is the only healing thing they can find. but james and meowth are also after it due to jessie also being effected. they also know that a poliwag would help them find it and the poliwag battles team rocket before it finds misty who beats team rocket easily with the help of her pokemon. misty catches poliwag but james and meowth try and take the salveo weed but it doesn’t work but misty gives them some anyway so when they all recover james and meowth don’t want to help jessie get pikachu and they are sent blasting off.

ash and friends are stranded on an island with limtied food when ash is challenged to a match by a trainer but when snorlax tries to eat the flowers on his hair the match is called off and snorlaxs pokeball is destroyed so ash and friends have to get snorlax to a pokemon center to fix the pokeball which is quite hard and they try everything with no luck and when they get there team rocket intercept the food delivery and force them to choose between pikachu and the food but the boy from earlier fixes the situation and team rocket fail.
ash and friends are exploring a big city when they notice a fire which is put out by a team of wartortle despite ash and mistys pokemon best attempts before that.the man who trains them captain aidan explains how they put out fires squirtle is upset at being beaten as it used to be a firefighting pokemon. team rocket try and steal the firefighting pokemon and do so but they are able to get away when team rocket argue. a fire eurpts before they get back and despite mistys pokemon efforts can’t put out but squritle and wartortle get there and work together to put it out.

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
“pokemon world (season 2) theme” early on during the boat scene

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.
next time pokemon the movie 2000 than a firefighting squad.
ash and friends are on an island known for large pokemon when they get trapped by team rocket who lock pikachu and meowth together as part of their plan but get taken away by a pidgeot. team rocket try and get pikachu before ash and friends its a race to find them. while pikachu and meowth try and get to safety with meowth trying to get pikachu to team rocket nothing works but it all ends well despite giant rhydon and pidgeot. pikachu and meowth are reunited with their trainers and after a battle team rocket are sent off.
ash and friends arrive on trovita island for ash’s 3rd gym badge when they rescue a girl and her seal. it is revealed that she was the gym leaders little sister the gym leader rudy has a crush on misty. ash has to knock out targets to get the right to challenge rudy but despite accidently using charizard while destracted succeeds with team rocket failing their plan as usual. rudy impresses misty with dinner and showing dance moves and his sister wants her to live with them as well. the first match is pikachu v electrabuzz which is tough for ash because electric type moves won’t work but using speed doesn’t help either so ash loses the first match. executor v bulbasaur is a much more interesting match as bulbasaur attacks don’t work initally but sleeppowder gets ash the win. squirtle v starmie is the deciding match another tough match as it knows electric type moves but mistys cheer helps ash win.
ash and friends are heading for the trovitia gym and ash is quite hungry and find a town where a secret lurks. team rocket accidently put ash and friends in the sewers with a contraption. when ash and friends encounter a weird vine which traps ash’s bulbasaur but misty and tracy won’t let ash rescue it and find from officer jenny and the mayor who wants to keep the incident secret due to an upcoming election. we find out from nurse joy that the plan to lock up the sewers which would trap ash’s bulbasaur. so ash has to go and get bulbasaur back before it gets trapped by the creature. team rocket also get stuck in the sewers. ash uses muk to help with the sewers. ash finds bulbasuar and another bulbasaur who we find out was the mayors but the mayor abandoned it and refuses to help it but he gets arrested. and ash and friends head to trovita.

the nbl title will be decided tonight in game 5 of the grand final. passengers travelling in the us need to show each other more respect after a bunch of ridicilious incidents lately of bullying and over the top incidents. the price tag and the safety of neculear submarines should still be a worry but we do need to invest in defence. the nrl won’t do a pride round which i think they should this year. russia sohuld only have taken out a us drone if it put the fighter jet in danger that it collided with. finally someone on the conservative side says that trans people should have their own sports which i think for a while they should. the aukus deal shouldn’t result in spending cuts to poor people or job losses there are other ways of raising the money.

a sea plane takes off from miami beach for the bahamas for the worlds oldest airline in 2005 chalks ocean airways operated by a seaplane that was built in the 1940s a gruman millard which climbs out normally but soon after takeoff the wing explodes into flames causing the plane to nosedive into the sea killing everyone onboard. the cause was a massive fatigue crack that had been there and should have been discovered beacuse of chronic fuel leaks in the plane and the airline got away with poor maitence because of there small fleet and the fact that they hadn’t crash before.
next itme season 10 a landing in zurich after a runway change.
it is a good idea for families to sit together at no cost and the us goverenment is right to do it. a passenger tried to get his seatmate kicked off a flight due to him being unwell which is understandable but not the right thing. a direct flight from barbados to nigeria would be quite interesting. it is a good idea to block deals by right wing crazies and its good that other cross benchers are takig a lead against one nation. the afl should focus on making their comp more family friendly and stop making too many night games during the school term (saturday being the exception) than there other so called priorities. the racism at the nrl during the week was not racialy motviated according to the person who did it which is not believeable. the coalition have disendoursed two candidates for the state election too late to disappear on the ballet. i think the coalition are over advertising aukus as a solution to the region tension as england doesn’t have much to do with our community compared to france who we neglected and damaged our relationship with over the submarines.

dragons smash titans 32-18 while newcastle beat west tigers 14-12 in the nrl yesterday. arsenal beat fulham 3-0 to secure their lead in the epl in a two team title race. a man on a delta flight in the us harrased another passenger over wearing a mask and even bribed her to take it off which is not right and dreadful. how is a mcdonalds a tourist place even in rottterdam. mike pence says his former boss donald trump dangered his family which is true. france has raised the retiremnet age despite protests. eight people at least died in capsizing boats off the califronia coast. the idea of giving anyone from certain bussiness to self funded retirees exemption from helping with budget repair is just wrong everyone needs to help and the fact that if anyone can’t contribute it is the poorest people in society who are homeless and unemployed.
