anyway. Like always, Team Rocket shows up in a
black helicopter and starts stealing all the Butterfrees in the sky with a giant butterfly net. All of the
Butterfrees, except Ash's, are caught in the net. Butterfree's attacks against the helicopter are
useless, so Butterfree follows the chopper and leads Ash and the bunch in the balloon to Team Rocket's
secret bunker down in some valley.

Team Rocket is pretty proud and relieved that their plan had actually worked but then Ash and his
friends show up with their own version of the Team Rocket motto. While Misty's Starmie keeps Team
Rocket busy, Butterfree manages releases his fluttery friends. Jesse bashes Starmie with a
sledgehammer and
Team Rocket chases the Butterfrees down in the helicopter again. Butterfree takes Pikachu to Team
Rocket's chopper and Pikachu blasts them out of the sky. In the end, Ash and Butterfree say goodbye
with an emotion moment, thinking of all the wonderful times they've had together. Butterfree and the
pink Butterfree flutter into the sunset as Ash and his friends look from far behind....

Episode 21 - "Abra And The Psychic Showdown"
Ash and friends get lost on the way to Saffron City, as usual. Along their way find a girl in the woods
who runs off when asked they for directions. Ash decides to run after her, but nearly falls off a cliff
instead, when Bulbasaur uses his vine-whip. The cliff over-looks Saffron City, which looks more like a
city than the other cities in the previous episodes. As Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu enter the city
entrance, they're greeted by some Hawaiian girls (who are actually Team Rocket) and are told that
they're the one-millionth visitor to the city. Their prize isn't't so glamorous, Pikachu gets snatched
away from them and while being shoved onto a warp tile that takes them to a windowless and doorless
room. Team Rocket mocks Ash and company through TV when the signal suddenly cuts out. In the
control room, the girl from the forest appears, and paralyzes James and Jesse. The girl then teleports
with Pikachu to the windowless room and then teleports everyone back outside.
Ash and his friends manage to find their way to the gum. Out of nowhere, a jogger warns Ash to
forget about challenging Sabrina, the Gym Leader because it is too dangerous. Still determined to beat
the Gym leader, Ash enters the temple-looking gym where they find many people praticing some of their
psychic powers. A man in a surgical mask tells them that psychokinetic powers are necessary to control
psychic Pokémon, and starts to bend a spoon with the powers of his mind. After, he tells Ash he is not
worthy of challenging Sabrina since Ash lacked any psychic powers. Ash bends the spoon with his hands
and demands to see Sabrina immediately. When Ash and the gang reach the arena, they see through a
see-through curtain to see the girl from the forest. She will only accept Ash's challenge under one
condition: If Ash loses, he and his friends must be her friends and play with her. Thinking this is just a
mere little girl's request, Ash accepts and discovers the girl is actually a doll controlled by the psychic
powers of Sabrina, the teenaged gym leader.
And so, Ash calls upon Pikachu to battle. Sabrina summons Abra (a psychic pokémon that sleeps a
lot), which just snoozes while Pikachu hops around, taunting it. Pikachu attempts to open with the
Thundershock attack, but Abra's psychic powers cause the electricity to go back on Pikachu, shocking Pikachu. Pikachu attempts aquick attack, but Abra teleports behind him and Sabrina evolves it into the spoon-wielding Kadabra.
Ash commands Pikachu to fill the arena with lightning, but Kadabra manages to make the lightning turn at
Pikachu. Pikachu takes the hit pretty badly, but it gets worse as Kadabra's psychokinetic powers kept
slamming Pikachu against the ceiling and floor. Not long after, Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu are shrunk
down to doll size and teleported into a town made of dollhouses.
It takes Ash a while to figure out that he's actually a doll and Ash's gang find themselves chased
down the street by Sabrina's dolly. The street is block by a picture in a frames and the doll rolls a
gigantic ball to them that would surely crush them if something doesn't save them. Something in the form
of the mysterious jogger saves them, as he teleports into the doll town, teleports everyone out and back to normal size
outside the gym. The jogger tells Ash not to challenge Sabrina again because he won't be able to save
them next time and no one without psychic powers could beat her. Ash says that all they need to do is
attack faster and the jogger uses his psychic powers to cause Ash's pants to fall down and make him do
a little dance. Seeing the jogger's point, Ash asks him to teach him psychic powers. The jogger says that
usually only people born with the powers can learn them. I forget why, but for some reason Ash tries to
get near the jogger, but he's blasted back with psychokinetic force. It'll take more than guts to defeat
Sabrina explains Jogger, but Ash crawls his way to Jogger's foot. Jogger thinks he just might have
what it takes "to save Sabrina" (whatever that meant...) and tells Ash the only Pokémon capable of
beating a psychic is a ghost Pokémon that can be found in Lavender Town. Ash and friends then head
straight for Lavender Town, while Jesse and James are still paralyzed and Meowth drags them along
Episode 22 - "The 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 Versus 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.
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 bee
