Last shown on British Television: Not sure...

By Ben C

Who's that Pokémon? Not sure
Pikachu's Jukebox? Pokérap! Thursday (4th) one
Brock or Tracey? Brock!

Note: I can't remember exactly what happened on the episode, so I am basing this on the comic.

This episode starts with Misty screaming. She has spotted a Weedle! Ash uses Pidgeotto to fight it. Weedle is knocked out, and Ash prepares to throw a Pokeball at it. But then, a sumurai looking person appears behind him, and asks if he is a trainer from Pallet Town. Ash says he is, but he is busy. Samurai says he has been searching the forest for him, and that he challenges him to a fight. Ash realizes he has forgotten about Weedle, but is too late, it has run away.

Ash says it onyl got away because Samurai distracted him. He says for Ash not to blame his failures on him. He again challanges him. Ash sends Pidgeotto, but it is tired from the last battle. Samurai sends Pinsir, a huge Bug Pokemon. Ash has Pidgeotto use Sand-attack, but Pinsir tackles Pidgeotto, knocking it out. Ash brings it back, and sends out Metapod. Samurai says to watch and weep as Pinsir crushes it in half. Ash has Metapod use Harden, and Pinsir grabs it. It tries to crush it, only to crack its own pinsirs!

Samurai brings back Pinsir, and sends out Metapod! Of course, all Metapods can do is Harden their shells, so Ash tells his to go to maximum hardness, and Samurai does the same.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the forest, we see Jessie and James walkingaround carrying a card-board 'tank' to protect themselves from Beedrills.

Back with the others, Ash and Samurai are still trying to beat each other, by having their Metapod use Harden. Pikachu is lying on a beach chair, wearing sunglasses and drinking juice. Suddenly, a loud buzzing is heard. A Beedril swarm! One of them grabs Ash's Metapod. Ash tries to bring it back, but he can't! He, Misty, Samurai and Pikachu run. They come to a tree, covered in Kakunas! Ash sees Metapod, and says that, a little loudly. Misty tells him to be quiet, but it is too late. The Kaunas evolve into Beedrills! They all run again, forcing Ash to leave Metapod. They run into Samurai's cabin.

Samurai said that Ash letting Weedle escape nearly cost them thier lives. He keeps calling him novice, which really makes him mad. Samurai said that none of the other trainers from Pallet would have been that irrisponsible. He said that he had fought three, and had lost them all.

The next moring, Ash goes back to the Kakuna hive. He sees Metapod! Then, Meowth jumps on his head, and Team Rocket appears, and start saying their lines. Ash says to keep it down, so they won't wake the Beedrills. They don't listen, and wake the Beedrills! Ash figures if he makes it past them, maybe they'll dive-bomb Team Rocket. He gets past, and they go after Team Rocket. They figure the tank will come in handy, but its being eaten by Weedles! They had made it out of paper to reduce the weight. so, they run for their lives.

Ash runs to Metapod, and tells it to get into the Poke Ball, but it seems upset. He tells it he didn't mean to, and picks it up. He says it was all Samurai's fault, then he trips and fall's. He admits that it was his fault, and that he should stop making excuses, and Metapod's eyes get watery-looking. Suddenly, a Beedril appears behind Ash, flying towards him! Misty, Samurai and Pikachu come, surrounded by some sort of net. They see the Beedril coming and tell Ash to watch out. Just as it reaches Ash, Metapod jumps up, and the Beedril hits it instead. It flies away with a broken stinger, and Metapod has a large gash on its back. Ash picks it up, and asks if its okay.

A bright light comes from the gash! Its evolving! Metapod evolves into Butterfree. Ash has it use its Sleep Powder to put all the Beedrills to sleep, and it works! Ash cheers, and Samurai compliments him on his Pokemon handling.

So, Misty, Ash, and Pikachu continue on thier way. But, Team Rocket has been captured by Beedrills, and are dressed up like Kakunas. They accidenlty wake the Beedrills, and you can imagine what happened next.
