ood guys.
Episode 15 - "Battle Aboard The St. Anne"
Now, Ash continues his way with 3 badges pinned to his jacket. The gang sees a huge ship looming on
the dock. They begin to have dreams about going on a cruise on the ship.
Disguised as cheesy teenage girls, Jesse and James of Team Rocket fool every Pokémon trainer,
including Ash and his friends, into accepting free tickets for a cruise aboard the St. Anne. After that,
Jesse and James go to their lighthouse hideout where they communicate via video phone with their boss.
Jesse and James' boss describes his evil plan to get as many Pokémon trainers as possible on to the St.
Anne and steal their Pokémon once they're all on board! On the St. Anne, it seemed like being on a
floating Pokémon convention. Trainers from all over the place are either buying, selling, trading or
battling Pokémon. Later on, Ash comes across a Pokémon trainer who's dressed like a magician. To show
off his skills, Ash challenges the man into a battle. Ash calls upon his Butterfree against the man's
Raticate (a huge rat with a bad hair day) Ash is close to winning when the man decides to call it a draw.
A while after, the man approaches Ash, hoping to trade his Raticate for Ash's Butterfree. After some
convincing, Ash reluctantly agrees to trade. Meanwhile, James uses an advance on his and Jesse's
paycheck (without her permission) to buy a Magikarp (a fish) which the previous owner described as "a
gold mine." Falling for it, James buys the Magikarp.
Finally, it was time for Team Rocket's plan to go into action. The boat suddenly stops and the exits
are all sealed as an army of Team Rocket terrorists armed with vacuum-powered back-packs burst out
of their hiding places and demand for all the Pokémon. Ash rallies the trainers to fight back and Team
Rocket finds themselves being attacked by Pokémons. In the midst of battle, Ash's new Raticate makes
him realize how much he misses Butterfree, which is the first Pokémon he captured and raised, and after
the battle he sets out to find the man that was dressed like a magician.
Suddenly, the St. Anne began to sink in the midst of a wild storm. Jesse and Meowth find James as
he tries to search for the guy who sold him the Magikarp. Brock and Misty find Ash trading the
Raticate for his Butterfree back. The ship suddenly lurches and both James and Ash drop their
Pokéballs and chase after them. The boat overturn, knocking out Team Rocket, Ash and company. All
the passengers manage to get out safely and on board the lifeboats but our heroes and Team Rocket are
still unconscious in the boat as it sinks into the ocean.
Episode 16 - "Pokémon Shipwreck"
Our heroes, including Team Rocket are still stuck under the sea, while Officer Jenny performs a
memorial service on the surface for the main characters (including Team Rocket). The upside-down
cruise ship is balancing on a precipice in a canyon as Jesse and James awaken to find themselves
underneath a blazing stove. Brock and Misty urges Ash to wake up. Ash does, as Misty tells him to look
outside window. There are fish out there. Anyway, back to Jesse and James. They find themselves
under some intense heat from the the stove. Then, suddenly, Jesse has an idea. She has Ekans blast open
a hole in the floor (or ceiling). Of course, it just causes the ship to fill with water. Team Rocket nearly
drown but are saved when Misty's Goldeen, trying to find a way out, finds them and brings them to the
surface and set them near Ash, Brock and Misty. Being harsh enemies, they start to fight, but the extra
weight of all their Pokémons cause the ship to tip. Quickly, they all put their Pokémons back into the
Pokéballs and decide to call it a truce temporarily.
Misty, who's built a model of the St. Anne before, knew exactly how to get out. It included crossing
over an inferno-filled room. To get across the fire, Ash has Bulbasaur to extend his vines across the
room, and allow the gang to walk across the vines like tight-rope walkers. Ash gets Charmander to burn
a hole in the ceiling. The hole is burned through and everyone ties themselves up to a water Pokémon.
Everyone grabs hold of a water Pokémon except for Team Rocket. In desperation, James calls out his
Magikarp, but Magikarp can't swim, and the ship
topples into the enormous abyss.
Back on the surface, Ash and his friends are standing on top of a floating object and have absolutely
no idea where land is. Brock tells Ash about the story of Noah and how Noah used a bird to find land.
After hearing this, Ash sends Pidgeotto to fly out and bring something back. Pidgeotto brings back
Team Rocket and a floundering Magikarp. Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu are about to give them a
funeral when they suddenly wake up. Hours later, they're all hungry and Magikarp is not fit to feed
five people with. James is very angry at Magikarp's uselessness and kicks him into the water. Suddenly,
Magikarp evolves into a Garadoys (a huge Sea serpent) Misty calls upon her water Pokémons to tow the
raft while everyone rows to escape from the chasing serpent. Eventually, the Garadoys stops its pursuit
and everyone thinks they're safe, except for Misty. Misty says that the Garadoys might be using its
most powerful attack, the Dragon Rage. Summoning more of his species, Garadoys and his friends spin
in a circle to create a water-filled tornado. The tornado manages to suck everyone in. Ash, Misty,
Brock and Pikachu are holding hands, but can't hold on for much longer. Will our heroes get away safe
and sound?
Episode 17 - "Island Of The Giant Pokémon"
In the last episode, Team Rocket and Ash and his friends joined forces to protect each other...but
only temporarily, however, they couldn't shield themselves from the ultimate attack from Garadoys
Dragon Rage. With this attack, everyone was washed up in the hurricane and they were all stranded
somewhere. Ash wakes up, wondering how he got there, and he wakes up Misty and Brock. Ash can't
seem to find Pikachu, and finds out that he only has two Pokémons with him. Elsewhere on the beach,
Team Rocket is stuck on the dirt when a Krabby pinches both of them, and they wake up. They begin to
think they're invincible. But soon they don't hear any annoying sounds...Meowth is gone somewhere, so
are Jesse and James' Ekans and Koffing. They find a phone booth, (weird to have it in the middle of
nowhere) but then they find that they have no change. In another area of the beach, Pikachu wakes up,
and finds 3 Pokéballs on the ground. He calls them out, and asks if they're ok. They are, and Squirtle
wonders where they are. Bulbasaur asks if they are lost and Charmander asks where are they. Pikachu
doesn't have the answers. They look around, and see a Slowbro, a Pokémon, resting on a rock. Pikachu
asks him where they are, but he doesn't reply. So they just leave him alone after he puts his tail into the
water. Later that day, the Pokémons are searching for their masters, courtesy of Charmander's fire,
which lights up the place. Somewhere nearby, Meowth is spying on them. He challenges the Pokémons to a
match. He begins the Team Rocket motto, but it doesn't even make Ash's Pokémons scared at all. He asks
for help by Koffing and Ekans, but they refuse because he's not their master. Later on, both groups of
Pokémon--Ash's Pokémons and Team Rocket's Pokémons join forces to try and find their masters. They
have traveled a long way, so they are all obviously hungry. They stop, make a fire and begin munching,
and having a little chat. Very soon, there's a huge thumping sound coming from near them. They all look
up and see that it's a huge Pokémon! Of course they run away, and Pikachu must untie Meowth from the
tree. Somewhere on the island, Ash and his friends are also running away from the huge monsters. Team
Rocket is also somewhere in the island, and they are also running away from the huge monsters (what a
coincidence) Team Rocket hit a sign, and thank it for saving them. The lost Pokémon are now resting with
a pal, Slowbro. Some of them are crying, while others are fighting or calming each other down. The next
morning, Ash and his group are resting in a cave, and decide they should go out and look for their
Pokémons. Team Rocket wakes up and runs for the phone booth, planning to make a call. They call the
boss, and he hangs up after Team Rocket say their motto. So, then they have another plan instead, they
decide to follow the phone cable, planning it would lead them to the phone company. Soon, they see a
huge Pikachu. They think it's a mirage, but its not, and the Pikachu makes an attempt to squish them.
Elsewhere, Ash and his friends make an attempt to escape the fire of a huge Charizard, an evolved
Charmander. The Pokémon see it, and then they see a Blastoise, an evolved Squirtle, and Pikachu tells him
to ask for directions. Squirtle does, but when he asks the huge turtle, it shoots out water at the
Pokémon. So then they see a Venusaur, the evolved form of Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur refuses to talk to it,
and Squirtle calls him a coward. Back with Team Rocket, they are running away from the huge monsters
(again). They find a rail road car, and hop in, but they go backwards instead so they decide to hit the
brakes. Unfortunately for them, it breaks off, and they keep going. Ash and his friends are on a land
bridge, and they see a huge Pikachu. Then they see a rail road car coming closer. It collides with the
bridge, and the bridge collapses. Everyone falls into the cart. Then they look behind them, and their
real Pokémon are running behind the cart. Then Misty points out a loop up ahead. After they go around
the loop, the Pokémon jump onto the cart. Then, Meowth appears, and the rest of the Team Rocket group
celebrates. Suddenly, a huge mechanical bird crashes into the giant Pokémon pile and the rail car
crashes into the water. Just then a tour boat floats by that belongs to a theme park called "Pokémon
Land," where you get to see mechanical reproductions real Pokémon only many times their real size! Then
Team Rocket's boss gets a call that his million-dollar theme park has just been trashed, while Ash and
his friends find their way to the beautiful town of Porta Vista.
Episode 18 - "Tentacool And Tentacruel"
Ash, Brock and Misty are in the town of Porta Vista without enough money to ride the ferry off the
island. They're waiting at the dock for another ferry to pass by when a battered Horsea (a blue
seahorse Pokémon) tries to warn them of some danger, but they don't understand what it's trying to say.
Suddenly, a boat on the ocean explodes which sends some sailors flying into the air. Misty
sends out Starmie, Staryu and Goldeen to help rescue them while Ash and Brock get a boat. Misty's
water Pokémons get the sailors on the boat and find the sailors are paralyzed. The sailors ask to see
their boss. The sailors boss is Nestina, a short, ugly woman with a mean temper. Nestina is trying to
build a resort on the reef off-shore, but the Tentacools (jellyfish-looking Pokémon) keeps
interfering with her plans. She wants Ash and friends to exterminate the Tentacool and offers them lots
fabulous prizes if they're successful. Ash and Brock are all for it, but Misty gets mad and storms off
because she thinks Tentacools are cute. Misty loves water-type Pokémon, she's a lot nicer when she's
with them but she especially loves the Tentacool and thinks they're beautiful (Ash and Brock think
otherwise) Suddenly, Ash then realizes that Horsea was
trying to warn them about the Tentacools and the picture it made by blasting ink on the water looked
like Tentacools. Just
then, Nestina makes a public announcement saying that she's offering a generous reward to anyone who
can exterminate the Tentacools. After the announcement, a riot forms to get rid of the Tentacools.
Nestina arrives in a tank to calm everyone down and a suction-dart rose hits the tank's barrel. It's
Team Rocket (James threw the rose).
Team Rocket accepts the challenge of getting rid of the Tentacools and rides a boat to the construction
site of the resort. Their plan was to dump stun
sauce on the Tentacool, get the reward money and then sell the Tentacool for profit! When they arrive
at the site, Jesse realizes that there's not enough stun sauce to have any affect on all those Tentacools.
All the Tentacools team up and blast the boat to bits, sending Team Rocket flying and the barrel of
stun sauce hits one of the Tentacools, turning it into a gigantic Tentacruel! (Tentacruel are only
supposed to be up to seven feet in length) The Tentacruel grabs Team Rocket, destroys the construction
site, and plans to take down Porta Vista also. Everyone turn to flee as the giant jellyfish's approach
causes a tidal wave. Jesse and James wind up on pole and Meowth finds himself the unwitting victim of
a Tentacruel. Using Meowth as a speaker, the Tentacruel announces that he and all the Tentacool will
destroy the human's home like they've destroyed the Tentacool's home (the ocean). Ash tries to let
down the Tentacruel by sending out Pikachu, Bulbasaur and Squirtle out riding on Pidgeotto, Butterfree
and Brock's Zubat and Misty unleashes the forces of Starmie, Staryu and Goldeen. Misty's Pokémon
and Zubat herd the Tentacool back into the ocean while the flying Pikachu and Bulbasaur attack the
massive Tentacruel. The Tentacruel smacks Butterfree and Bulbasaur. Then, Horsea and Pikachu try to
reason with it. Finally, Misty convinces Tentacruel to stop the damage. She says that the people would
stop doing that they were doing. The Tentacruel believes her, tosses Meowth away, and heads back out
to the ocean. Then Nestina tries to
attack the Tentacruel with machine guns and bazookas, but doesn't seem to do any harm on the
Tentacruel as it smacks her off the island and all the way to her twin cousin's house. In the end, Misty
gets Horsea as her new Pokémon. Team Rocket gets dragged behind a ferry in a barrel.
Episode 19 - "The Ghost Of Maiden's Peak"
Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu are riding on the ferry while Team Rocket are riding in a barrel tied
to the ferry. Brock is heart-broken because the summer is almost over and he hasn't found a girl yet.
The gang manage to get to Maiden's Peak just in time for the festival. Our heroes get off the ferry and
Brock sees a beautiful girl in the distance. Team Rocket get off from the barrel and James sees the
beautiful girl also. Suddenly, Brock comes across an old woman who prophesizes that a beautiful girl
will be the cause of something bad happening to Brock.
Later on, Team Rocket and Ash's gang head into the festival. All day, Brock can't stop thinking
about the girl, while Jesse and James search the ground for any loose change. James find a penny as
and old woman appears out of nowhere and tells James the same thing she told Brock. Later the day at
the festival, lots of people attend to the unveiling of a painting that the shrine had kept for so long.
The pictures shows the girl that Brock and James had saw earlier. The host says that the painting shows
the picture of a girl who had once lived over 2000 years ago as she waited for her warrior who had
never come back. The story goes that the girl waited so long that she turned into stone. Brock and
James immediately fall in love with the girl. Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu head over to Maiden's Peak
to get a closer look at it. Ash, Misty and Pikachu turn to head to the Pokémon Centre since it was near
curfew time. Brock decides to stay a little longer and says he'll be back but he doesn't.
Ash and Misty go back to the shrine to find Brock, but instead find Jesse and Meowth who are
looking for James at the same time. As they met, Jesse starts her Team Rocket motto but is
interrupted when James and Brock fall out through the shrine's doors, gibbering madly about being in
love with the girl. The old woman appears again, saying it's girl's ghost who lures lonely men away and
drains them of their life. Pikachu electrifies James and Brock to get them thinking normally. James
starts getting freaked out, but Brock doesn't seem to change much. The old woman told them that the
only way to keep the girl's ghost from getting anywhere near them is to cover Brock, James and the
shrine with anti-ghost stickers, which she happens to sell. Ash and the other start sticking the stickers
everywhere. They wait inside the sticker-covered shrine to see what happens.
At night, a strong wind blows the stickers off the shrine, opens the doors and blows the stickers off
Brock. The ghostly girl appears and takes Brock and James out of the shrine. James manages to hang on
to a bar to keep himself from flying away but he loses his grip. The ghost begins to take Brock and
James off the cliff.
Ash and Misty pull Brock behind the handrail, even though Brock tried to protest, while Jesse blasts
the girl with a bazooka. This causes James to fall into the ocean. He climbs back up the cliff and the
girl's ghost summons a
swarm of ghostly skulls. The skulls don't register on the Pokédex, but a chance flinch causes the
Pokédex to identify the ghostly girl as Gastly, an orb-shaped ghost Pokémon with hypnotic powers.
Ghastly's cover is blown. Gastly reveals that he not only disguise himself as the maiden, but also as
the old woman as well. Ash sends in Pikachu to attack Gastly, but ghost's hypnotic powers make him
think he's being chased by a giant mouse trap! Meowth goes for it, but is hypnotized into believing he's
playing with a kitty-ball. Jesse binds Gastly with Ekans, but the snake is scared off by a giant
mongoose. James shakily calls upon Koffing's poison gas attack, but is instead stomped by a mongoose
wearing a gas mask. Ash tries his luck with Bulbasaur and Squirtle, teamed-up, but the ghost frightens
them with a Venustoise (the combination of a Venusaur and a Blastoise...yikes!) Misty thinks she has the
answer of getting rid of Gastly, as she holds out a holy cross, garlic, and wooden stakes. She's obviously
confused Gastly with a vampire. As dawn nears, the sun comes up and Gastly disappears, screeching
from the light. That night, everyone puts on Japanese robes and dances to the beat of huge drums
playing by Team Rocket, who looks like they're enjoying themselves. Ash and Misty start dancing as
Pikachu sang. Also, the REAL maiden's ghost thanks Gastly for his help, and Gastly was glad to help out.
Episode 20 - "Bye Bye Butterfree"
Along the way to Saffron City, Ash and friends come to a cliff at the ocean. There they find flocks
of Butterfree during their love season. This is the time of year when the Butterfree find mates and
leave across the ocean to lay eggs. Ash and pals rent a hot-air balloon to see the Butterfree up close and
release Ash's Butterfree so it too can find a mate. Butterfree is pretty much rejected by every female
he meets (poor Butterfree). Other Butterfree trainers also hope into their hot air balloons to release
their Butterfrees and Brock sees a pretty female trainer in another balloon. He tries to hook up
Butterfree with the girl's Butterfree (so he could meet the trainer, of course), but Misty whacks him
upside the head, saying that he shouldn't tell which Pokémon Butterfree should go for.
It was not long after when Butterfree then falls for a pretty pink Butterfree.
Butterfree tries his courtship dance to get her interested, but the pink Butterfree just rejects him.
Heartbroken, Butterfree heads down into the forest with Ash and the gang following him down. They
find Butterfree behind a tree and tell him
to not give up. Misty suggests showing off his attack moves. Brock thinks a new look might help, so he
ties a bandana around Butterfree's neck (it looked really cute). Butterfree and his friends go back up
to the sky once more. Butterfree shows the pink Butterfree his flying tackle, his stun spore shower, and
his whirlwind attack, but she still ignores him any |
