Squirtle withdraws but starmie grabs onto squirtle with all of it's sides, trapping it in the thunderbolt! Ash doesn't know what to do and just stands there amazed, suddenly, Misty yells at him from above (she was watching the match from a hot air balloon) she tells him he has to think fast and she cheers him on, Rudy is shocked that she doesn't cheer for hi instead, but he realizes why....Suddenly squirtle uses hydropump and spins out of the starmie's grasp, finishing it off with skull bash!

Bound for Trouble-Ash, Misty, and Tracey are sitting looking at a map. Tracey explains how the island they're on is known for it's large sized pokemon. The map tells them that big pidgeot and rhydon are near where they are. Ash is excited and hopes to capture one so they head off. Suddenly Team Rocket shows up and they have their usual battle. Except, this time they throw a strange harness at pikachu. It locks around him and meowth is locked to the other end of the rope attached to the harness so that pikachu wouldn't escape. Pikachu tries to shock Team Rocket, but they pull out some protection shields and avoid injury. Team Rocket makes off with pikachu and they're quite pleased with themselves, suddenly a huge pidgeot swoops out of the sky and grabs hold of the rope holding pikachu and meowth together. It carries off the two pokemon and flies toward it's nest hoping for a quick poke-snack. Meowth tells pikachu to do something, pikachu responds by shocking meowth. Meowth says that he meant for pikachu to do something that would help their situation. Pikachu responds by shocking pidgeot along with meowth. Pidgeot lets loose of the rope and the two plummet to the ground. Meowth is underneath of pikachu and the two wrestle in mid-air to keep one or the other on top or bottom so the other can break their fall. Meowth ends up on bottom and breaks pikachu's fall. Pikachu obviously has the upper hand with its thundershock, which meowth is terrified of. pikachu starts to walk one way and meowth starts to walk the other, stretching the cord. Meowth gets shocked and agrees to go the way pikachu wants to go. There’s a fork in the road and they both want to go opposite ways again, meowth agrees with pikachu once he sees the sparks beginning to fly. The two are still walking around; pikachu tells meowth he smells pokemon that might be able to help them. Meowth is excited, but it turns out the pokemon was a huge rhydon. The rhydon starts to chase them and they run and run, finally they run into a dead end. Pikachu tries to ward off the enemy with thundershock but it doesn't work against the rock pokemon! Pikachu insists that meowth and he work together to try and beat it, meowth doesn't understand how he could help. Pikachu tells meowth to get the rhydon's mouth open and then he would do the rest. meowth jumps on to rhydon's back and tries a "tickle attack" the rhydon starts to laugh and pikachu thunderbolts right into its mouth. The poor rhydon passes out and the two continue to look for their friends. Soon it starts to get dark, both pokemon are very hungry, meowth sees an apple in a tree and runs to it. Pikachu pulls the cord back and meowth flies behind, pikachu then runs ahead to the apple. This time meowth pulls the cord, but pikachu thundershocks the apple and it falls into his little paws. Meowth is very upset, it looks like another night he'll have to go hungry, Pikachu splits the apple in half though, and they share it. Meowth sees pikachu isn't such a bad little guy after all, and tells pikachu if he wasn't with Ash, and himself wasn't a part of Team Rocket, they might have become friends. Pikachu had already fallen asleep in meowth's lap and didn't hear his moving speech. Meowth lies down and takes his rest too. In the morning, the two pokemon are confronted by the giant pidgeot again, they try to run, but the giant rhydon catches them on the other side. They're trapped and there's no where to run, suddenly they're saved by one of Ash's pokemon. Pikachu runs to Ash dragging meowth behind him. Jessie and James come down from the sky and meowth runs to them, dragging pikachu behind him. The two sides have their usual battle with the usual victory of Ash, he unlocks the harness with Team Rocket's key pikachu is free! Meowth is free also but he goes blasting off again with Team Rocket. Ash, Misty, and Tracey go along their way looking for the last gym.


Charizard Chills!-The trio sails along on the beautiful seas of the orange archipelago. Suddenly a boat speeds by almost knocking them off lapras. The boat comes back around and stops, a boy who looks a lot like Tracey gets out and tells Ash he heard of him from Rudy the Trouvita gym leader. The boy wanted to test Ash's strength himself and they go to shore for a battle. Ash chooses charizard to fight the buy's poliwrath, the poliwrath is impressive, it has a championship belt it won in a tournament. Charizard agrees to battle the poliwrath, but instead of listening to Ash it does what it wants in battle, trying useless strategies even though Ash told him not to. The poliwrath's trainer is disappointed at it's incompetence, and decides to finish it off with icebeam. The ice beam freezes charizard solid and he clunks to the ground. Ash rushes to his frozen, disobedient friend and begins beating the ice with a rock. The boy laughs and walks off telling him he needs to train better. Ash keeps trying to un freeze charizard. Misty and Tracey help him starts fires all around him to melt the ice and they drape a blanket over him. The kids give charizard massages to warm him up and keep a midnight vigil all around him. At one point, charizard wakes up and almost attacks Ash but passes out quickly. During the night Ash keep massaging even though his hands are chafed and bleeding. Charizard sees this and remembers all the times they had been together and how good they used to get along back when he was a charmander. He has a new respect for Ash now. Ash had fallen asleep massaging, when he woke up in the morning he saw charizard, standing strong on a boulder with his flame bigger than ever. Team Rocket shows up to get pikachu, Ash and charizard join forces for the first time to finish them. They blast off and pikachu is safe. Ash has another battle with the boy and his poliwrath and vanquishes him this time. Ash is overjoyed he and charizard have finally become friends.


The Pokemon Water War- The trio are on another island just hanging out and notice a burning warehouse. They want to help put out the blaze with staryu and squirtle but it’s not doing any good. Suddenly a wall collapses and it’s about to crush Misty and Ash. Some pokemon rush in and wisk them out of the way just in time. It turns out the pokemon were wartortle who are all on a team of firefighters. The fire chief who handles them, Capt. Aiden, tells the kids all about the pokemon firefighters and how they do their job. Squirtle feels terribly put down at how ash marvles at the wartortle. Squirtle puts on his old glasses from his days in the squirtle squad. Ash begs Aiden to let squirtle train with the wartortle squad and he agrees. Squirlte just can’t compete with a faster and stronger pokemon like wartortle, but manages to do ok. Team Rocket comes and tries to steal the team, pikachu, and squirte and actually succeeds in taking them into a cabin out in the boondocks. Meanwhile officer jenny has just alerted captain aiden about a fire at the apartment complex. The other firefighting teams of blastoise can’t make it because of an overturned truck and squirtle team can’t shoot enough water on the fire. The wartortle were captured though and the situation seems hopeless until tracey uses venonat to find the water pokemon and rescue them. They defeat team rocket and run to the apartments to help. Squirtle is helping right alongside the team. Suddenly they hear a boy calling from inside the burning building. Squirtle and the lead wartortle go in after him and leap out of the building just as the wall collapses. The wartortle now respect squirtle and his pride in himself is renewed.


Pokemon Food Fight- The kids have landed on an island and they’re plumb out of food. Tracey informs them that many flowers are edible and they spot some nearby they decide to test out. It turns out that the flowers were part of a kid’s hat and he is very angry. He challenges Tracey to a match but decides he’d rather battle ash instead. Ash accepts and they begin the battle with the kid losing to Ash’s hungry snorlax who tried to eat the kid’s gloom! Snorlaz’s pokeball falls and gets broken so Ash cannot return him. Snorlax eats the poor kid’s hat and the lunch his mom made for him! The kid starts to cry and is about to leave when ash asks where a pokemon center is to fix the pokeball. The kid tells him it’s on the other side of the mountain and runs off. Ash is totally bewildered at how to snorlax up the mountain, especially since it has now fallen asleep. First they come up with the bright idea of dragging him up the mountain using logs to roll him along, but it is very tiring work. Tracey digs in his bag and uses an apple as bait to try and get snorlax to follow them but it just eats the apple and falls asleep again. Misty suggests they use a “lure” of sorts since they don’t have any bait. Ash dresses up in a big apple costume and runs for his life as snorlax chases after him. Snorlax catches ash and takes a bit out of the apple costume, realizes it’s fake and falls asleep. It turns out Ash had lured Snorlax all the way to the top and all they needed to do now is get it down. They build a raft and ffloat down a river to the pokemon center. The kid from earlier is there along with tons of other people. The kid explains that the island is having a food shortage and a plane is going to drop a care package of food any time now. They see the plane and the crate with food is dropped and drifts down but Team Rocket steals it in midair. They say that they’ll give the islanders their food back in exchange for pikachu. Ash shields pikachu from the others who are eager to hand him over. Suddenly the kid with the flower hat steps in and tells them off for trying to do such a thing to a fellow trainer. Team roxket decides to just steal piakchu and keep the food as well and almost succeed, but snorlax bursts onto the scene hungrier than ever. He fights life and limb for the food and defeats the baddies, eats some of the food, and falls asleep again. Ash’s pokeball is fixed and he recalls the chubby lil fighter. The kid respects Ash now for saving his island from hunger and the trio moves on.
