Episode 22 - "Tower of Terror"
Taking the advice of the mysterious jogger, Ash and friends head for Lavender Town. Along the fog-shrouded way, Ash scares Brock and Misty with a mask. Ash thinks that they need to overcome fear if they're to catch a ghost Pokémon and beat Sabrina, but Brock and Misty are less than appreciative. They eventually get to Lavender Town and the haunted Pokémon Tower, but no one is willing to go inside. Meanwhile, inside the tower, Team Rocket awaits with a plan to catch Pikachu. James falls through the floor and is followed by Meowth when he slashes Jesse's face trying to defend himself from a Ghastly surrounding her head. Jesse doesn't see it until she looks in a mirror, panics, and falls through the hole in floor. Team Rocket then falls through a few more floors into the basement.
Ash and company finally muster up enough courage to enter the tower. The door closes behind them, sending them into complete darkness. Charmander lights a candle (and Brock, who was holding it) and the five of them eventually find themselves in the dining room. Ash pulls a rope labeled "Pull me" and they get showered with confetti and big sign that reads "Welcome". Dinnerware and chairs fly all over the place and Team Ash beats a hasty retreat outside. Ash bravely (or stupidly) marches back inside while Brock and Misty wait outside. Hearing sounds coming through a hole in the floor, Ash has Pikachu send down a lightning blast and Charmander let loose with a fire blast. He tosses down a Pokéball which hits a toasted Jesse in the face. Jesse swears revenge and Meowth points out that her
hair is on fire.
As Ash just stared down at what seemed like a twirling fireball, Haunter (Ghastly's second stage of evolution) sneaks up behind Ash and startles him. Ash has Charmander leer at Haunter and the two get into a staring match. Charmander makes a face, Haunter bursts out laughing and licks Charmander, which really freaks him out. Ash puts the lizard back into its ball and Gengar (third-stage Ghastly) appears, whaps Ash with a huge paper fan, and procedes to whap Haunter vigorously. After a while, Ash realizes that they're trying to be funny. He tells the ghosts they aren't and they sink into the floor. Then a chandalier falls on Ash and Pikachu, knocking them out cold. Ghastly, Haunter and Gengar check to see if they're OK, then Haunter separates Ash and Pikachu's spirits from there bodies. Ash and Pikachu panic, then the three ghost Pokémon take them on a trip through the sky.
Ash sees Misty and Brock and decides to have some fun with them. Misty thinks she heard something, then Ash lifts her up into the air and drops her. Brock catches her then the two of them go inside to check on Ash. The ghostly trio take Ash and Pikachu into an enormous play room and Ash figures out that the ghosts just want to have fun, not scare people. Ash explains he has to now and, after a good cry, the ghosts put Ash and Pikachu back into their bodies. Misty and Brock are glad to
see their friends are OK, and the four of them leave the tower. Ash explains he could never catch the ghost Pokémon, then Haunter appears and scares off Brock and Misty, and Ash finds himself with a new friend with Haunter.

Episode 23 - "Haunter vs. Kadabra"
With Haunter at his side, Ash, Brock and Misty return to Saffron City. Before entering the gym, Ash releases Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charmander and entire group storms their way into the arena. Sabrina calls out her Kadabra but when Ash calls for Haunter, he's gone missing. Panicing like crazy, Ash calls it quits and everyone makes a break for it. The exits are sealed, but the mysterious jogger rescues everyone except Brock and Misty who got turned into dolls.
Outside the gym, the jogger tells Ash about Sabrina's past. As a little girl all Sabrina wanted to do was practice her pyschic powers. She didn't even want to make friends. Her parents tried to curb her powers, but Sabrina used her psychic powers to turn them away. Eventually, her powers split her into two people: the emotionless pokémon trainer who'll stop at nothing to win, and the doll who tries
her hardest to make friends. Seeing that the jogger has the same picture as the one blocking the street in episode 20, Ash makes a connection. Most people would make the connection that the jogger was Sabrina's dad, but Ash thinks he's a photographer (he's wrong, of course). But that doesn't matter, as Ash must find Haunter again if he's ever to defeat Sabrina.
Not known to Ash as he walks about town, Team Rocket is waiting on a window-cleaning platform above him. Their apparently most ingenious plan ever: to catch Pikachu in a fish net! (hehe) Haunter appears and starts freaking them out, as they topple off the platform. Jesse hangs to the platform on for dear life (while James hangs on her and Meowth hangs on him) as Haunter goofs off in front of her. Finally, she can't hold her laughter in much longer. She bursts out laughing and
they leave Team Rocket-shaped holes in the sidewalk. Ash realizes Haunter just saved Pikachu then makes him promise not to dissapear like that again until he defeats Sabrina's Kadabra.
Ash, Pikachu, and Haunter head back to the Gym to challenge Sabrina. The stakes: If Ash wins, Sabrina turns Brock and Misty back into humans. If he loses, Ash and all his Pokémon get turned into dolls! Sabrina sends in Kadabra, but Haunter has disappeared again! Pikachu bravely dives into the fray with several thundershock attacks, each of which is dodged by a timely teleport! Kadabra
lets loose with a psychic assault that sends Pikachu reeling! Pikachu's thunderbolt attack fries Kadabra, but he recovers! Suddenly Haunter appears out of nowhere next to Sabrina and starts to goof off. Sabrina's doll objects, but the jogger points out that Haunter isn't fighting, so he stays.
Haunter does a great many entertaining tricks, ending with a cartoon bomb that covers Sabrina, the doll and the ghost with ash. Finally Sabrina can't hold back anymore and bursts out laughing and doll fades off into the background. Ash doesn't understand, and the jogger points out that Kadabra, whose psychically linked to Sabrina, is rolling around on the arena floor laughing his head off. Since Kadabra can no longer battle, the jogger declares the match over with Ash as the victor! The jogger remarks that it's the happiest he's seen Sabrina in her entire life, then Ash finally makes the connection! He also took her baby pictures! (Geez! How dense can you get, huh?) Not that it matters, because Brock and Misty are back to normal, Sabrina has a new friend, Ash has the Marshbadge, and Team Rocket is covered with cement after they escaped from the hole they made.

Episode 24 - "Primeape Goes Bananas"
Ash decides to show off to Professor Oak about the four badges that he's won so far. Oak tells him that the other trainers from Pallet Town, including Gary, already have five badges and has passed through Celadon City. Also, Gary has over 30 Pokémon now, and Ash hasn't caught any since Krabby was transported to Oak's house. The two of them have been getting along quite well, enjoying tea and
writing poetry. Not good poetry, but poetry none the less. According to Professor Oak, poets and trainers have a lot in common. You can't be a good poet without rhyming and you can't be a good trainer without catching loads of Pokémon. With that, the conversation ends and Ash walks back to where Misty, Brock and Pikachu are eating Brock's homemade doughnuts (with no artificial ingredients, might I add). Brock says it's a day's walk to Celadon City, or less if they hurry. A Mankey (a pig-nosed little monkey thing) appears and Brock gives it a doughnut. Ash tries to catch it by throwing a Pokéball at it, but catches a half-eaten doughnut instead. Mankey is upset and thrashes Ash, steals his official Pokémon League hat (which he won by sending in about a million postcards), and climbs into a tree. Ash shakes his fist at Mankey and demands his hat back, but Mankey shakes his fist right back at him and makes monkey-like hooting sounds. Ash climbs up the tree only to be thrashed again. Since this is a bad time, Team Rocket shows up and demands
Pikachu. Mankey hops out of the tree to inspect Team Rocket and James kicks it over a rock. Brock warns them not to make the Mankey angry, and Team Rocket turns to see Mankey evolve into Primeape (NEVER look a Primeape in the eyes).
Deciding to ignore the pig-monkey-thing, Jesse and James sends in Ekans and Koffing to capture Pikachu and Primeape sends Jesse face-first into a boulder. Enraged, Jesse commands Ekans and Koffing to attack the white, fluffy monkey thing and the entirety of Team Rocket dog piles on Primeape. Ash and friends make a break for it, but wait! Ash forgot his hat! Pikachu goes back for it, but his path is block by the Primeape who just beat up Team Rocket. Despite his best efforts,
Pikachu looks Primeape in the eyes and is forced to Thundershock him. Primeape (whose wearing Ash's hat now) throws fit and Brock thinks he just wants some attention. Brock gets thrown over the horizon like a rag doll and Primeape rampages after Ash, Pikachu and Misty! Team Rocket decides to cut them off at the pass.
Misty, Ash and Pikachu split up to try to lose Primeape, but he's rapidly gaining on Ash! Brock, who just caught up, thinks he and Misty should catch up with them. Meanwhile, further down the road, Team Rocket dig themsleves into a hole. Jesse peers out of the pit just long enough to see Ash fall on her. Koffing belches a cloud of noxious gas, and climbs out of the hole to see the eyes of Primeape. Remembering what Oak said about poetry and Pokémon training (not that it applies to poetry), Ash sends in Squirtle to attack Primeape. The blue squirrel-turtle's clear geyser makes the white pig-monkey see red, so Ash recalls him and sends in Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur's razor-leaf attack is none to effective, so he trades places with Charmander. Charmander seems to be getting pulverized by Primeape, but Dexter the Pokédex reports on Charmander's Rage attack, which gets stronger as
Charmander gets damaged. The rage attack sends Primeape down for the count and Ash catches him in a Pokéball. He then uses Primeape to uppercut Team Rocket, Pokémon and all, into the upper stratasphere. Ash welcomes Primeape to his team, and Primeape welcomes Ash to a black eye.
The chase brought them all the way to Celadon City. In the end, Ash gets his hat back, a new Pokémon, and Team Rocket lands in the middle of Primeape nest. Hee hee hee. Silly monkey-pig things.

Episode 25 - "Pokémon Scent-sation"
In Celadon City, Ash and friends follow there noses to a perfume shop. Ash doesn't like perfume because he thinks it smells bad and turns men into zombies, much like Brock was at this time. He gets thrown out of the shop and goes to the Gym, but they won't let him in because he doesn't like perfume (which just happens to be manufactured in this very gym) and stamps a big, red "X" on his face. While Ash gripes Team Rocket climbs in thru the window to steal the perfume's secret
ingredients and make a bundle selling them. Inside, James finds and awakens a napping Gloom (Oddish's second stage of evolution). James's Koffing poison gases the Gloom, but the plant Pokémon just inhales it and lets off a malodious odor of its own. The stink is excrutiating, even to Meowth (who wasn't drawn with a nose), leaving Team Rocket open to being wacked with mallets, having big, red X's stamped on their faces, and being strung up in a tree. Jesse offers Ash a plan to get in the gym if he
gets them down.
They dress Ash up like a girl and disguise themsleves as "Ashley's" parents and enroll him, uh, her, in the gym. While one of the trainers shows "Ashley" around, Team Rocket removes their disguises as the search the gym and has Meowth plant a bomb. "Ashley" asks to see Erica, the Gym Leader, who turns out to be the manager of the perfume shop! She's reading a story to a group of trainers, including Misty and Brock. He hopes the don't regonize him, which they don't, but Pikachu does!
While "Ashley" tries to do his best to dupe his friends, Pikachu walks up and hugs his leg. He tries to kick him off, but Pikachu shocks him and the wig burns off. Ash admits to dressing up as a girl to challenge Erica, and Erica decides to accept the challenge.
First up is Tangela (a mess of vines with feet), and Ash sends in Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur grabs Tangela with the vine whip, but Tangela reels him in and sprays him with stun spore. Erica offers to give Ash some Paralyz heal potion later, and Ash chooses Primeape, remembers the black eye he got from it, and releases Charmander. Erica's Weepinbell's razor leaf attack is useless against
Charmander's full-force flame thrower, so she sends in Gloom. Erica tells Ash he can't be good trainer unless he has empathy with Pokémon, and Ash can't figure which Pokémon would hold up best against Gloom's rampant reek (which, in the wild, it only uses when threatened). Pikachu is up to the task, but Team Rocket cuts the match short when they leap in, blow themsleves to kingdom come, and escapes with the secret formula! The explosion sets the gym on fire and all the Pokémon and trainers except Gloom escapes safely. Ash runs into the gym to save it.
Ash finds Gloom in the arena, where it's been spewing its evil fumes for while. Ash holds his breath and rushes in. He tells Gloom he's here to save him, but Ash can't hold his breath any longer and falls to the ground. To his surprise, the odor's gone and he remembers that Erica said earlier that it won't produce a stench if it feels safe. Ash runs out with Gloom and, once the fire has been put out, is rewarded with the Rainbow Badge. And what about Team Rocket stealing the secret formula? It turns out they only stole one ingredient without knowing what it was: essence of Gloom!

Episode 26 - "Hypno's Naptime"
Ash and friends leave Celadon city and find themselves in a city apparently called "Hop-hop-hop City". A strange woman mistakes Ash for her son Arnold and hugs him. It turns out that Arnold has been missing for three days and, according to Officer Jenny (Maiden Peak's Jenny's cousin's cousin), so have a lot of other kids. Brock, who beleives this is the most beautiful Officer Jenny he's ever seen
(they all look alike), and Ash, who thinks Arnold's mom looks a little like his own, decide to help out. Jenny, Ash, Brock and Misty head to the Pokémon Center to ask around and discover another mystery. All the Pokémon Center's Pokémon, including a Cubone, an Oddish, a Magikarp, a Charmander, and a Psyduck (a huge duck whose powers come from a mysterious force), have all gone to sleep and haven't woken up in three days! There has to be a connection. Pikachu falls asleep and Jenny's detector starts picking up sleep waves (a psychic wavelength that induces sleep).
Our brave detectives leave to check out the source.
Meanwhile, in an undisclosed location, Team Rocket has figured out that the source of the sleep waves is coming from Hop-hop-hop City. Their dastardly plan: To find the source, steal it, put their boss to sleep and take a much needed vacation. They may be the bad guys, but even they need a little R&R. Jenny, Ash, Brock and Misty trace the source to mansion located on the top of a giant building. Inside the mansion they find the elegantly dressed Pokémon Fan Club celebrating their loss of insomnia due to the fact that one of their Drowzees (a tapir-descended Pokémon with psycho-hypnotic powers) evolved into a Hypno three days ago. Hypno's been trained to put humans to sleep, which Brock pointed out might have a side effect thats affecting the Pokémon in the Center. Ash (I think) suggests that it might also affect children who are sensitive to Hypno's effects.
Misty looks into Hypno's pendulum, falls into a trance, starts clapping her hands and saying "Seel, Seel. Seel, Seel", and runs out the door. (A Seel is a white-colored Pokémon not unlike a seal or walrus)
Ash, Brock and Jenny follow Misty to a lake in the park where other kids are acting like Pokémon. Jenny tries to wake them from their trance but to no avail. The Fan Club's Drowzee or Hypno may be able to bring them back to normal, so they bring Misty back to the mansion where Drowzee awakens Misty and Pikachu. The Fan Club lends them Drowzee and our heroes are about to make their way to the elevator when Team Rocket swoops down in hang-glider packs and challenges
Hypno to hypnotize himself in a mirror. Ash breaks the mirror, so Jesse and James just snags Hypno and Drowzee with bullwhips. (They would've done that first, but they had to fill up half an hour) Misty's Staryu snaps the whips and Ash's Pidgeotto blows away Team Rocket (who were still wearing their hang-glider packs). Ash and friends take Drowzee to the park and cures the afflicted children. Arnold (who kinda looks like Ash) is reunited with his mother and Drowzee is taken to the Pokémon Center. The Pokémon return to normal, but Nurse Joy is worried about Psyduck, who still has his hands on his head. Brock offers to cure him.
They walk down the street, followed by Psyduck, arguing over who gets Psyduck. No one wants it. Brock thinks Misty should get him, since she's fond of water Pokémon, but she objects, especially after Dexter the Pokédex says that Psyducks always have headaches. Walking backwards, Misty trips and one of her Pokéballs rolls toward Psyduck. To Misty's dismay, the cerebrally inflamed duck opens the ball and gets sucked inside. Looks like she's stuck with it now.
