Once again, we find the four continuing their journey. And once again, the ever vigilant Pikachu keep a careful watch for trouble. Sort of. Right about now, Pikachu was on Ash's backpack taking a little snooze.

Our heroes soon spot an old man on the side of the road. He was short man with long white hair and mustache that hid his eyes. "Groovy! Greetings, children of the universe."

Misty greeted, "Hello. Are you all by yourself?"

The man took out a flute. "I have my music."

And the old hippie starts playing on his flute, to our heroes' delight, and the music also wakes up Pikachu

"Wow!" Ash was even impressed.

Misty agreed, "That was nice!"

Laoise complimented, "You play wonderfully."

"Now that you've heard my music, you have to give me some food." The man said.

The quartet was confused at this.

Misty said, "We thought it was free!"

The old Hippie said, "Isn't my flute playing at least worth a sandwich?"

Ash explained, "We'd like to give you something to eat, but we don't even have anything to eat ourselves."

"Not even a cookie?"

Brock shrugged. "Cookie? We don't even have crumbs."

"I'm so sorry mister, if I had some extra freeze dried snacks, I'd gladly give them to you." Laoise said apologetically.

The old man sighed. "Another free concert. Well, guess you should hit the road, then."

Later, our heroes are starting to feel the effects of not having anything to eat since the previous day.

Ash groaned "I'm so hungry!"

Laoise was scolding herself. "I knew we should have stopped for food supplies before we left Stone Town."

"I'm about to collapse." Brock groaned.

Misty whined. "We haven't had anything to eat since yesterday."

Soon, Pikachu spots something. It's a town. Within minutes they reach it, only to find that the local stores and restaurants have no food to sell, as there are no ingredients to cook with.

Soon, our heroes are in a slump, sitting on a rock. An entire town with absolutely no food anywhere.

Laoise whimpered, "Even the candy store is bone dry... "

Soon a man in his fifties approached the four."My friends, what's the matter?"

Brock explained, "We've been looking all over for food in this town, but, there's nothing to eat."

Misty murmured, "We're so hungry we can hardly move."

….

Less than five minutes later, the four are soon taken to the man's (who was the town's mayor) home, where he gives them food to eat. The food was mostly rice and bread but satisfying.

"So, you and your friend trying to become Pokémon masters. That's very difficult." The man said.

"What's wrong with this town? There's no bread in the bakery." Misty questioned.

Brock added. "And there aren't any vegetables at the market."

"Yes, this had the red flags indicating a famine." Laoise said.

The mayor explained. "The water in the river has completely dried up, killing all our produce. So food in our town has become very, very hard to come by. It's hard enough to keep food for ourselves to eat."

Our heroes just listen on with sweat drops, they suddenly felt very awkward eating this bounty when times were quite hard in this town.

This got the mayor's attention. "Oh, please, don't worry. Our family can live off our food stores for quite a while yet."

Misty then said, "But I don't remember the weather being any drier this year than it usually is."

Brock nodded. "It rained just like it always does."

"It's not the rain." said the Mayor.

The mayor takes them outside and tells them that the village is unable to get any food because the river has dried up, killing all the produce a fortnight ago. As a result, the four friends decide to head upstream to check it out.

The group discovered a large forest of thorns and decides to crawl through it, but Misty gets scratched in the process. With the help of Ash's Bulbasaur and its Razor Leaf, and Laoise's new Leafeon, they get through the thorns, only to find that the flow of the river is being blocked by a sleeping Snorlax, which is very big and weighs close to 1,000 pounds.

The Snorlax was a huge, bipedal, dark blue-green mammalian Pokémon with a cream-colored face, belly, and feet. Its body was composed of mostly its belly, as its limbs are comparatively small. Its head is large with small, pointed ears, and two pointed teeth protruding from its lower jaw. It has round feet, which both have three claws and a circular brown paw pad, and short arms with five claws on each hand.

Ash gets out Dexter and Laoise took out Dixie.

"Snorlax, a Sleeping Pokémon. Snorlax wakes only to eat."

"It doesn't sound too hungry." Ash said.

Misty then noticed, "Guys, look! Snorlax is blocking the water from the spring!"

"That's why the water in the stream stopped flowing!" Brock said.,

Ash declared, "So we just gotta get Snorlax out of the way."

Misty shrugged, "Well, let's wake it up!"

First they tried shaking the Snorlax to no avail, Laoise tried talking into its ears, all it did was stick a claw into its ear to scratch, it slept on. Ash used a megaphone, but that didn't work either.

The four tried to move it, no dice.

Ash grunted, "Why is it so hard to move?"

Laoise held out Dixie,

"Snorlax is one of the heaviest species of all known Pokémon, with some weighing more than one thousand pounds."

Ash gaped, "A thousand pounds?"

So Ash attempted to catch the heavy Pokémon, but the Poké Ball just bounced right off Snorlax's belly.

As our heroes come up with a way to make Snorlax move, Team Rocket watched nearby. Jessie and James then showed up with a camera and microphone with a plan to steal the Snorlax.

James pulls out a radio to communicate with Meowth, who's floating above the area in Team Rocket's balloon. "This is R2 calling R1, over."

"This is R1, all systems are go!" Meowth spoke through the radio, "The Ultra Deluxe Balloon Bang-Bang is about to begin!"

Meowth then deployed come grabbing cables from the bottom of the balloon.

"What are those things?" Ash wondered.

Jessie laughed "Soon you'll be seeing Snorlax from cable!"

"You're gonna try to airlift Snorlax?" Laoise inquired.

Ash said, "I'd hate to let them steal Snorlax, but if they get it out of the way for us..."

"The spring water will flow like before!" Brock finished.

Pikachu used runway lights to guide the cables down.

Meowth watches both the heroes and the villains working as one to have Snorlax lifted.

"Well, I never thought I'd live to see this day, even with nine lives!" Meowth started to tear up. "Team Rocket and Team Twerp working together!"

Pikachu gave the signal to lift away.

The balloon begins to lift Snorlax. Snorlax's arms and legs start moving up. But Suddenly, to the shock and disappointment of our heroes and Team Rocket, the cables snap and send Meowth and the balloon flying away.

"The cables were too weak to lift Snorlax!" Ash moaned.

Misty grumbled "I knew this wouldn't work!"

Ash murmured, "Yeah, we shoulda known Team Rocket would mess things up."

"And fumble and bumble it every time." Laoise said in a sing-song tone.

Jessie snapped, "What did you say?"

Ash gave them the side eye, "Well, it's the truth."

James growled, "Nothing makes me angrier than being told the truth!"

Suddenly, the balloon came crashing down near our heroes. The balloon crashed and Meowth emerged from the basket.

"It looks like we're gonna have to wake up Snorlax after all." He mumbled.

Soon, the group tries everything to wake Snorlax up. They held up an alarm clock to its face, it didn't even stir.

"Stand back, let me try something!" Laoise climbed up the tiny ledge behind Snorlax.

Then before anyone could protest, she leapt and landed onto Snorlax's belly. And she began jumping up and down on it.

"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up, Snorlax!" Laoise emphasized, it felt as though she were jumping on a bounce house.

The sight was comical looking, the others tried hard not to burst out laughing on the spot.

"Are you finished?" Jessie was unimpressed.

Snorlax was even fazed, all it did was half-heartedly scratch the side of its belly. Laoise slid right down, miffed.

James then held a bucket of cold water, "Lets see it sleep through this!"

And he threw the bucket of water onto Snorlax.

"That's sure to do it!" Jessie said.

Meowth stated, "Nothing could sleep through that!"

Unfortunately, Snorlax doesn't wake up, to Team Rocket's teary disappointment.

Jessie mumbled. "It's not waking up."

Meowth whined, "But why not?!"

Then Jessie gets an idea, to try the Sleeping Beauty approach and get a Pokémon to kiss Snorlax.

"But in all the stories, the sleep was the result of a curse that was cast by an evil fairy… witch… whatever she was." Laoise pointed out.

"You got a better idea, Sister Grimm?" Meowth said sarcastically.

James said, "Alright, everyone, pick your noblest and we'll try it!"

Everyone splits up into groups and decided which Pokémon should be the one to wake the Snorlax.

"So, it's supposed to be a noble Pokémon, right?" Misty surmised.

Ash commented, "Yeah, whatever that means."

Laoise shook her head. "Don't look at me, none of my Pokémon could do the job, they're not the 'fairy-tale prince' type."

Brock then suggested. "What about Misty's Horsea?"

Ash piped up, "Yeah, that's right! It's like a prince's horse."

Laoise made a weird face at the absurdity. Misty seemed to think the same, "What? You want Horsea to kiss THAT?!"

"It has to, Horsea's our best bet." Ash said.

Misty pouted. "No fair!" she started searching her backpack for Horsea's Pokéball. "Horsea. Horsea. I think this is…"

Suddenly, Psyduck materialized and does Horsea's intended job, to the shock and embarrassment of our heroes. Laoise did all she could to keep from laughing.

"You dimwit duck! There's nothing noble about you!" Misty smacked Psyduck.

Though the waterfowl didn't seem to mind too much and blushed up with a grin.

Ash looks over to Team Rocket, who are still planning. "Brock, which Pokémon do you think they'll try?"

Brock guessed. "The same ones they always do."

"Arbok and Weezing? Yeech!" Laoise grimaced.

Everyone looked disgusted and mortified all at once.

Misty winced. "Snorlax will have nightmares."

Ash cringed. "Those lips would give me nightmares, too."

Team Rocket stand and unveil their candidate: Meowth wearing a prince costume.

Meowth protested, "Why do I have to be the one to kiss that big lummox?!"

Jessie looked as though she was trying extra hard not to laugh. "So we can bring that Snorlax back to the boss."

James was also trying to keep from laughing, "Hey, you don't look half bad, Meowth."

Jessie and James pick up Meowth, who began to squirm. "Disgusting! I quit! No way! The hygiene!"

Team Rocket forced Meowth to kiss Snorlax, which doesn't work either, even though Snorlax seemed to flinch when this happened (and Laoise trying her hardest not to laugh her head off). Snorlax then rolls over, revealing a card that tells them that only the beautiful music from a Poké Flute will awaken a Snorlax. Ash checked his Pokédex for details, and they remember the hippie had a Pokémon flute. They run over to him and ask him to wake up Snorlax, but the group gets into an argument with Team Rocket. Eventually, Jessie tried to attack with Arbok, but a Gust attack from Pidgeotto, resulting in a cyclone and sent the trio blasting off again. Ash and his friends then take the hippie to Snorlax, which turned out to be his. He woke the Snorlax with his Poké Flute, but the river is still blocked.

For the flow was blocked by more thorns. They'd have to clear out all of these thorns before the river can start flowing into town again!

Surprisingly, one of the thorn vines began moving, and they immediately find the cause was the Snorlax.

"Chow down, Snorlax. Looks like you got a case of the munchies." The Hippie said. "Thorns are Snorlax's favorite snack item."

Ash gets out Dexter.

"Snorlax's hunger isn't satisfied until it consumes nine-hundred pounds of food, then it goes back to sleep."

Our heroes are shocked at that last fact.

The hungry Pokémon ate all of the thorns, successfully unplugging the river and ultimately saving the town. In honor of the group's effort, the town's mayor declares a celebratory banquet.

After eating enough food, Snorlax went back to sleep again. Team Rocket soon realized that they won't be able to steal Snorlax, and then Snorlax rolled over on top of them.

A day later they reached a dingy, foreboding looking ghost town called Dark City. Who knows what kind of chilling challenge our heroes could face?

"This place gives me the creeps. " Brock commented as they walked, "It's the middle of the day and there's nobody around. What's the deal?

Ash agreed. "Yeah."

Laoise blurted. "The place looks like it's been through a war, or an epidemic…"

Storm rode on Laoise's shoulders, for Laoise had let out Storm for a walk.

Soon, a child ran out from one of the buildings, until his mom ushers him in.

"Get back inside this house right now! What if there are Pokémon trainers out?" The mother quickly lead her child inside.

Our heroes are left in confusion at what they saw and heard. Why would she be afraid of Pokémon trainers?

Suddenly, our heroes are attacked from above by stones. Laoise shielded herself and Storm from the rocks.

"Hey, you!" Ash yelled.

Laoise's temper flared. "Hey! Who threw those?!"

Whoever was responsible disappeared before anyone can get a good look.

"Right! Go, Pikachu!" Ash said.

Pikachu climbed on top of Ash's head and shocked the attackers, which are actually three young boys, to the shock of our heroes.

Brock gasped. "They're, little kids!"

Laoise might be good with children, but she didn't take kindly to being pelted with rocks. "What's the big idea throwing rocks at us?!"

Ash approaches the boys. "I'm sorry, but you guys were throwing those rocks at us."

"You could have hurt someone!" Laoise snapped.

Storm nodded, sparks flaring. "Pika!"

Pikachu agreed. "Chu!"

One of the boys glared. "You guys are Pokémon trainers, right?"

Ash confirmed. "Huh? Yeah, we all are. My name's Ash. I wanna become the world's greatest Pokémon master!

Brock introduced himself. "I'm Brock, and I wanna become the world's best Pokémon breeder."

Misty chimed in, "And I'm gonna be the world's best everything! My name's Misty."

"Laoise McGrady, you anna make something out of it?!" Laoise challenged.

However, the boys seem angry at the fact that our heroes are trainers and smacked them all with a stick.

"Hey, kid! Cut it out, will ya?!" Ash yelped.

"We don't care who you are! If you work with Pokémon, you better get out of our town now, if you know what's good for you!" the boy snapped.

The other boys nodded.

"Why? What's wrong with Pokémon?" questioned Ash.

"You stop that! STOP!" Laoise snapped, stamping her foot, "I can hit much harder, and drive you crazy with how long I can scream!"

And she let out a high pitched shriek that made both the boys and the others cover their ears.

"Second, we're not going away if we don't want to, you little buttheads!" And she threw dirt in their eyes.

"Owww! That hurt!"

"Good it should!" Laoise scoffed back.

"Laoise!" Brock and Misty had to pulled her back. "It's not worth it!"

The three boys became angrier. "We're gonna get you..!"

Soon, a man comes out of a nearby restaurant. "Stop it, boys."

"But she threw dirt in our eyes!"

"And you attacked them first. You can't hurt someone physically and not expect them to react." The man said calmly, and he turned to the four, "I apologize. These children don't mean to cause you any trouble. Come to my restaurant, and I'll explain everything."

Ash agreed. "Well, okay."

Soon, our heroes arrive at the restaurant. Misty and Ash had omurice, while Laoise and Brock ate curry with chicken. The owner was kind enough to serve Laoise some hot chocolate.

Restaurant owner: "In Dark City there are two Pokémon gyms, the Yas gym and the Kaz gym. The two gyms are in the middle of a gang war and they'll hire any wandering Pokémon trainers as soldiers to battle for them."

Ash said. "I get it, so that's why there's nobody out on the streets here. Hey, Pikachu. Pour some ketchup for me, will ya?"

They talked, a mysterious patron listened in.

Pikachu took a taste of the ketchup, and loved it immensely. Laoise had gotten distracted by listening to the situation regarding Dark City, that she didn't notice Storm hesitantly try a bit of sugar, and enjoy it.

Brock said, "But I don't see. What's the point in fighting each other like this?"

As Brock was talking Pikachu added a little too much ketchup on Ash's omurice. He soon noticed and tried to stop Pikachu from overdoing it.

"They claim that whichever gym wins will become an official Pokémon gym."

As the restaurant owner finished, Pikachu gets the bottle of ketchup away from Ash, ending up holding the bottle on his trainer's head.

Ash got up, "That makes sense. Becoming an official Pokémon gym's a big honor."

"Ash if he likes ketchup why not get him a bottle?" Laoise giggled.

"I… wouldn't say that." Misty said wryly. "Look at what Storm's doing to your hot chocolate."

Laoise said, "What are you talking about? It's only a bit..."

She's shocked to see Storm had been cheerfully spooning a small mountain of sugar into Laoise's mug.

Alarmed by the sight, Laoise grabbed her Pikachu. "Storm, no! That's overkill, our teeth is gonna be stuck together with that much amount!"

Soon, some noise was heard outside the restaurant.

"It's them!" One of the boys who'd hit the gang with rocks earlier glared.

The Restaurant owner became grim, "The Yas and Kaz gyms are fighting again. If you don't want to get dragged into this, you better go upstairs and hide."

A street fight between the two 'Gyms' broke out outside the restaurant. The Yas Gym's Scyther and the Kaz Gym's Electabuzz in particular were dispatching the men of the opposing Gym with ease, all the while damaging the town and terrorizing the townsfolk.

"Now I can understand why everyone around here hates Pokémon trainers." Brock said soberly.

Misty protested. "That's not even a Pokémon battle! It's more like a street fight!"

"They're gonna kill each other, and possibly innocent denizens while doing it!" Laoise said.

Ash scowled. "Those bullies! They don't understand what it really means to be a Pokémon trainer!"

Suddenly, noise is heard downstairs. The restaurant owner is under attack by three familiar individuals. Team Rocket, hired by the Kaz Gym as elite bodyguards, invaded the building in disguise and demanded food. They sent out Arbok and Weezing to deal with the restaurant owner when he refused due to the Kaz Gym having run up a large tab. Ash sends out Pikachu, Laoise sent out Storm, and Misty her Starmie to intercept Team Rocket, but they are beaten to the punch by Brock, whose Vulpix quickly forces Team Rocket out of the restaurant with a Flamethrower.

Vulpix garnered the attention of a female Yas Gym recruiter, and when she thanked the group for their efforts, Ash tried to take credit for the whole thing before Misty shuts him down and reminded him that it was Vulpix alone who stopped Team Rocket.

The curly haired girl from the Yas gym smiled. "Those were some of the strongest bodyguards from Kaz gym! How did you overpower them so easily? You must be a very gifted, very famous, Pokémon trainer."

Brock soon blushed.

"Please! Please! You must tell me your names!" The girl said.

Misty whispered to the rest, "If we get mixed up in this gang war, it could ruin our reputations as Pokémon trainers. Just make up a name, quick!"

"Uh, I'm, uh." Ash looked at Pikachu licking ketchup from a bottle) "Ketchup."

"Ketchup?"

Ash thought fast, "Uh, no! My name is really Tom Ato."

Misty fell over in disbelief but got up and sourly gave a false name, "Well, my name. My name is Anne Chovy!"

She then nudged Brock.

"Oh, and my name is Caesar Salad." Brock said.

"In that case, then I'm Pepper Oni." Laoise sighed.

"Oh, Tom, Anne, Ceaser, Pepper, would you consider joining our cause at the Yas gym?" the girl asked, "Unlike those animals from the Kaz gym, we at Yas are truly worth of becoming an official Pokémon gym."

Ash shrugged. "Uh, well. You better ask Anne Chovy."

"Well, we can't do it! Isn't that right, Caesar Salad?" Misty said than glanced at Brock.

Brock babbled out. "We'll do anything we can to help."

Everyone fell over in disbelief.

Misty sighed, "Brock just can't say no to a pretty girl."

"One of these days this is gonna bite in the behind." Laoise mumbled.

They are then taken to the Yas Gym. Yas is introduced to the quartet. To judge Ash's strength as a Trainer, the unofficial Gym Leader proceeds to release his Scyther to attack Pikachu. However, Scyther's Cut attack was blocked by Pikachu's ketchup bottle, to Pikachu's pure devastation. This resulted in Scyther getting squirted in the eyes with ketchup, blinding it and causing it to attack its Trainer. Surprised, Yas recalls Scyther and asks Ash to join him. When asked why the Yas Gym wanted to be an official Gym, Yas responds that it is simply a means to earn money quickly, as with official Gym status comes prestige and funding. Because Ash does not see this as a worthy cause, he rightfully declined.

However, Yas, angry at Ash for refusing, orders his underlings to physically beat him up with several Fighting-type Pokémon. While the Pokémon are busy trying to attack Ash, the others rescue him and they flee.

The four had raced back to the restaurant to bandage up Ash.

Ash sighed, "Wow, that was a close one."

"A little too close for comfort, those guys are crazy." Laoise said. "Sheesh, some people just can't handle rejection."

Brock was bandaging Ash's arm. "That Yas gym plays rough."

Misty guessed. "I think the Kaz gym plays the same way."

"They think Pokémon battling's like plain old fighting. Imagine if they became an official Pokémon gym." Ash worried.

"Kaz and Yas keep getting stronger Pokemon, and they wreck our town with their fighting!" one of the three boys said.

Brock was concerned, "If this keeps up, people will think all Pokémon trainers are dangerous. And if they do…then they'll start hunting down Pokémon so they can't be used for battle."

Laoise became upset. "No, that's be horrible! The wild pokèmon shouldn't have to pay the price for humans crimes!"

Storm hopped over to her trainer, allowing Laoise to scoop her up into a comforting hug. They couldn't let that happen.

Ash said. "Yeah, that Scyther is really scary."

Misty was puzzled. "I wonder how we got out so easily."

"I don't know." Ash thought back to when Scyther attacked. "Ketchup!"

Laoise recalled. "Some of it got in Scyther's eyes… and it went berserk!" she fumbled with her pokèdex Dixie and pulled out information.

Dixie's cool voice said. "Scyther and Electabuzz are both rare Pokémon. They are able to distinguish colors and become enraged by the color red."

"Like the ketchup!" Brock said.

Just like when one waves a red blanket or flag in front of a bull to make it charge.

Knowing this, the four trainers devised a plan to stop the fighting once and for all by defeating both the Yas and Kaz Gyms in one fell swoop.

Once again, fighting breaks out on the streets of Dark City between the Yas and Kaz Gyms. Scyther, with a boost from Swords Dance, manages to use Cut to destroy Kaz's forces and claimed buildings with ease. Meanwhile, Electabuzz's Thunder Punch manages to do the same against the Yas Gym's Pokémon. When Ash sees an opening, he tells his four friends, the restaurant owner, and the children from earlier to dump a bunch of ketchup barrels from the rooftops onto all the Trainers below, covering them in the sticky red sauce. This enraged Scyther and Electabuzz as they proceed to attack their own Trainers. Yas and Kaz are running scared by this point, and Ash decided to end the conflict by having his Bulbasaur use Vine Whip to throw a pair of buckets filled with ketchup to soak Scyther and Electabuzz. Both Pokémon try to attack their counterpart, only to run into each other, knocking the two of them out.

When Ash asked whether the two Leaders have learned their lesson and resolved their differences, they finally agree to team up, but only to fight back against the four trainers. In response, Ash ordered Pikachu to unleash Thunder and Laoise tells Storm to thundershock them, shocking both sides. Despite this, the Leaders refuse to give up and prepared to attack the heroes with sticks.

However, the mysterious patron from the restaurant showed up, to everyone's surprise, and her voice sounds familiar.

"Hold it right there!" The mystery person holds up a special Pokéball. "I'm the inspector from the official Pokemon League."

Both gym leaders are shocked at the revelation.

"Pokéball, go!"

From the Pokéball, a Chansey materialized, causing the gym leaders to nearly fall over in disbelief.

Brock stared. "Chansey? That must mean…"

There was only one person, or family of people, who has a Chansey at their side…Nurse Joy!

Brock instantly become smitten at the sight of Nurse Joy.

Nurse Joy put her hands on her hips. "I could never allow people who use Pokemon for nothing but street fighting to open an official Pokémon gym!"

The Yas leader pleaded. "Please, Nurse Joy."

The Kaz leader added. "Won't you give us another chance?"

Nurse Joy replied, "Only if you're willing to start over from the beginning."

However, she allows the Leaders a second chance, and tells the two that both Ash and Laoise would make fine tutors with regards to how to be proper Pokémon Trainers and how to start over as one united Gym.

Ash explained, "Well, you see, Pokémon are really our friends. So, we've gotta be kind to them."

"Pokèmon are living beings too, and they should NOT be used for personal fights, let alone greedy reasons or other vices. It hurts both humans and pokèmon alike."

"But what about Pokémon battles?" questioned the Kaz leader.

Ash replied, "Of course, you fight them as hard as you can with all your strength trying to win."

Although Ash did bobble his words a little while explaining battles, Laoise filled in.

"The thing is, Pokémon battles aren't supposed to be personal fights at all. They're supposed to be honorable competition. And the Pokémon League is a competition that gathers the best trainers from all over the region they're from to show they're that region's best of the best."

Ash nodded. "Right. Now first, you'll have to fix everything you've broke in this town."

"For a true act of goodwill always sparks another."

The Kaz and Yas leaders agreed to do so at once, "At once, Tom Ato and Pepper Oni!"

Ash blinked in embarrassment. "Huh? I should have picked a better name."

Thus both the Yas and Kaz members promptly proceeded to get to work on the restoration. Now Dark City's a lot brighter, thanks to our heroes.

As the four trainers began to leave Dark City, they are met again by the children from earlier. They have quickly become fans of Pikachu ( leaving a cute little autograph of pawprints) and exclaimed that they have decided to become Pokémon Trainers themselves. After saving the town, and making some new Pokémon fans, our heroes are moving on to their next adventure just waiting around the bend.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket, having been covered in ketchup during the battle, are run out of town by the enraged Scyther and Electabuzz.

To be continued…

Author's note: And that's two episodes in one. Hopefully I'll do parts of the next two episodes complete with 'Song of Jigglypuff'. Admittedly my sister and I always thought she was an adorable little diva even if she did misbehave with Pikachu and those Igglybuffs.
