Pokemon Episodes 51 to 60
#51 BULBASAUR'S MYSTERIOUS GARDEN

This story starts off with a bang as Ash's Bulbasaur defeats another trainer's Rhyhorn in a close contest. Initially, Ash is pleased, but then realizes that Bulbasaur is acting strangely. Taking the injured creature to the nearest Pokémon Center, Ash learns that Bulbasaur is not hurt, but is actually preparing to evolve into an Ivysaur.

All the plants growing around the Pokémon Center are filled with new blossoms and sparkling pollen floats through the air. Nurse Joy says that this occurs once a year when the Bulbasaurs gather together in their secret garden to evolve. Ash is understandably relieved when he hears the good news about his Bulbasaur and is even a little excited about the transformation.

On the other hand, the little half-toad/half-plant is not at all happy about evolving. When Ash is asleep, he sneaks out of the Pokémon Center and runs off into the woods. Pikachu follows Bulbasaur. But, before he convince the runaway Pokémon to return, a group of evolving Bulbasaurs capture Ash's Bulbasaur and take him to their secret garden.

#54 THE CASE OF THE K-9 CAPER!

Hiking through the forest, Ash is determined to reach the Cinnabar Island Gym where he'll try to win his seventh Pokémon Badge. A thief appears out of nowhere. (You can tell its a thief because he has a bag of swag thrown over his shoulder.) Ash sends Pikachu after the villain, but soon a large Growlithe comes forward to fight the crook. In fact, a lot of Growlithes suddenly surround Ash, Misty, and Brock. The travelers have inadvertently stumbled on the Police Pokémon Training Center.

Officer Jenny offers the travelers some food and a place to rest. Ash is fascinated by the training center and asks if any type of Pokémon can be trained there. Officer Jenny explains that canine-Pokémon like Growlithe are ideal for policework. Since Ash wants to be the World's Best Pokémon Trainer and he wants Pikachu to be the best Pokémon possible, he asks Jenny if Pikachu can join the police training program. She invites the pair to attend the next morning's training session. Ash and Pikachu will soon discover if they are made of the 'right stuff.'

#55 POKÉMON PAPARAZZI

The wonderful weather allows the travelers some time to rest and the opportunity for Brock to demonstrate his culinary talents. As Ash, Misty, and Pikachu satisfy their hunger on some tasty rice balls, a mysterious figure lurks nearby. Between bites, Ash spies the glint of glass in the tall grass. Thinking it's the sight of a rifle, he leaps up, pushes Misty and Pikachu to the ground, and knocks Brock's rice pot into the river.

The hidden assassin turns out to be Todd, the self-proclaimed #1 Pokémon Photo Master. All he was really trying to do was photograph Pikachu in his natural environment. Though less than thrilled by Todd's efforts, Ash invites the young paparazzi to take Pikachu's picture. The sound of the camera shutter terrifies the little Pokémon and Todd receives an electric hotfoot. Despite this momentary setback, he vows to photograph Pikachu.

Unbeknownst to our heroes, Jesse and James have hired Todd to capture Pikachu. Can the young shutterbug help it if he thought he was only agreeing to capture Pikachu on film?

#56 THE ULTIMATE TEST

Still intent on photographing Pikachu in his natural environment, Todd has joined Ash, Misty, and Brock on their travels. The story begins as the quartet stops for a picnic lunch. Misty mentions that Ash hasn't earned a Pokémon Badge in a while and wonders if the young trainer will ever get all eight of the badges needed to qualify for the Pokémon League. Ash starts yelling and bragging about what a great Pokémon fighter his is. At this point, Misty reminds Ash that most of his victories have been against Team Rocket, who are about the worst fighters in the world.

To calm things down, Todd suggests that Ash take the Pokémon League Emissions Exam. If he passes the test, Ash will receive a special badge that immediately qualifies him for the League without having to get all eight of the Gym Leader Badges.

Full of enthusiasm, Ash joins the other hopeful applicants at the Pokémon League Emissions Center. His fellow exam takers include the Fuchsia City Nurse Joy as well as Jesse and James in disguise. Surrendering all of Pokémon to the head tester, Ash prepares to demonstrate his fighting skills and general Pokémon knowledge in the hopes of becoming a Pokémon Master.

#57 THE BREEDING CENTER SECRET

Ash, Misty, Brock, and Todd are enjoying themselves in a new city. While Todd takes pictures of Misty’s Togepi, Ash and Brock watch the Pokémon Weather Report in a TV shop window. Suddenly, a commercial comes on advertising the town’s newest Pokémon Breeding Center. According to Misty, a breeding center is like a spa for Pokémon. Ash is especially impressed by the commercial’s boast that visiting Pokémon receive so much love and care that they can evolve in just a few short days.

The young travelers make their way across town and discover the sidewalk in front of the new breeding center is packed with trainers and their Pokémon. Eventually, they all get inside and Misty opts to check Psyduck in for some rest and relaxation. She secretly hopes that the mini-vacation will improve the big bird’s depressing demeanor. Back on the streets, Ash and his friends decide to get some lunch. A nearby restaurant is offering a free meal to anyone who can produce the cook’s favorite type of Pokémon. Quickly, Ash, Misty, and Brock empty their Pokéballs, but none of their Pokémon is the right one. The cook finally shows them a photo of his favorite Pokémon. It’s Psyduck!

Misty is so hungry -- especially for dessert -- that she forces her friends to return to the breeding center to retrieve Psyduck. Finding a ‘Closed’ sign on the front door, they sneak in the back and make a terrible discovery about what the breeding center is really doing with all of the Pokémon it has collected.

#58 PRINCESS VS. PRINCESS

It's Princess Day in the land of Pokémon. That's the day when all the girls and women get to do whatever they want and all the males have to do whatever the females tell them to do. (James of Team Rocket wonders how this is different from the rest of the year, but nobody gives him an answer.)

Misty loves the holiday. She gets to buy all of the toys and clothing she wants because of the Princess Day sales. Ash and Brock hate the holiday because they have to pay for everything, including all of the ice cream and cake that Misty orders for lunch. In keeping with the festive occasion, Brock offers to be the Prince for the restaurant's pretty waitress. Sadly, she declines and he consoles himself by devouring all of Misty's desserts.

Jesse is also enjoying the holiday. Using the Team Rocket credit card, she buys a completely new wardrobe as well as gifts for her boss. A tasty selection of smoked sausages should placate the mysterious leader of Team Rocket. That is, until a wild Lickitung snares them with his prehensile tongue. After slobbering all over Jessie's new clothes, the weird Pokémon fends off an attack from Jessie's Arbok. Enraged, Jessie tosses a Pokéball at the Lickitung and captures it.

Later, our three heroes and Team Rocket head to the same department store to take advantage of a big holiday sale. In the middle of the clothing section, Misty and Jessie grab for the same item. After a short argument, they agree to battle for the garment. They are interrupted by an announcement blaring from the store's loudspeaker. There is going to be a Queen of the Princess Festival Contest with the winner receiving a set of Pokémon Princess Dolls.

Both Misty and Jessie secretly wish to win the dolls. As the youngest of four sisters, Misty never got a Pokémon doll of her own to play with. Similarly, when Jessie was a little girl, she was the only child she knew of who didn't own a Pokémon doll. Eagerly, the two females agree to settle their argument by entering the contest and winning the dolls.

#59 THE PURR-FECT HERO

When Ash, Misty, and Brock see a string of multi-colored Pokémon banners flying above a house, they instantly know that it's time for another holiday. Kids Day is the only time of the year when children can skip school, eat all the sweets they want, and, of course, play with their Pokémon all day long. Ash is determined to press on to Cinnabar Island so that he can earn his seventh badge, but Misty convinces him to have some fun and enjoy the holiday.

Nearing a new town, the travelers are accosted by a pre-school teacher who thinks that they are the three trainers who are supposed to share their Pokémon with her class. Brock wants to impress the pretty woman, so he volunteers to entertain the children. Ash and Misty gladly help out.

In a matter of minutes, the trio is overrun with admiring tots who love to poke and prod Pikachu. Ash rescues the yellow mouse before it gets hurt, but not before Pikachu gives him a little electric shock. Brock, Misty, and Ash soon release all of their Pokémon and the schoolyard is filled with happy children. That is, except for a little boy named Timmy. He isn't having any fun because he doesn't see his favorite Pokémon: Meowth. He then tells the young trainers about how he was once rescued from a dangerous Beedrill by a Meowth.

Ash admits that the only Meowth he knows of is a member of Team Rocket and he's certain that that Meowth wouldn't save anyone. Brock agrees and guesses that the Meowth that saved Timmy must be a wild one.

Suddenly, a van pulls up. It's a traveling magic show! Actually, it's Jessie, James, and Meowth in disguise. Their plan to capture Pikachu backfires and they end up kidnapping Timmy instead.
