Episode Reviews: Showdown at Pewter city!

Last shown on British Television: Not sure...

By Ben C

Who's that Pokémon? Not sure
Pikachu's Jukebox? Pokérap! Friday (5th) one
Brock or Tracey? Brock!

This episode starts with Misty, Ash, and Pikachu finally exiting Viridian Forest. They then see a bearded man wearing a hat sitting on the ground, who's selling rocks, as Pewter City souveniers. I forget stuff after this.

Anyway, Ash goes to the Pewter City gym, where he finds Brock, the gym leader. He seems pretty mean. Ash sends out Pikachu, and Brock sends out the GIGANTIC serpent, Onix! Pikachu freaks out, of course. Onix grabs him and uses Bind. Ash is forced to surrender.

He goes outside, carrying his injured Pikachu. The man they saw before, Flint, is waiting outside. He tells them to follow him.

He does, to Flint's house. There, Flint says how Brock's skills could take him much farther than just a gym leader. When Ash asks why he Brock has never been in a Pokemon League Tournament, Flint says he has his reason.

He shows Ash that Brock has to take care of his ten brothers and sisters. He said that his good-for-nothing father left to become a Pokemon trainer, and his mother passed away. Ash says that he might not be able to beat Brock next time, knowing this. Flint says he knows a way to power up Pikachu.

They go to a small hydro-electric plant. But the river that runs it is dry. Flint hooks up Pikachu to the machine, and starts turning the wheel manually. The process apparently causes Pikachu a lot of pain. Misty shows up and offers to help. But Ash refuses, of course. She says that beating Brock would be easier if he used some of her Pokemon.

Inside the building, the mahcine reads ful power. A bright light comes from Pikachu, which fills the room, then shoots out through all the openings in the building.

The next day, Ash and Pikachu are ready to face Brock again. Misty and Brock's brothers and sisters are watching.

Brock sends out Geodude. Ash sends Pidgeotto. Bad choice. Flying Pokemon are weak against Rock. Pidgeotto is beaten, and Ash sends Pikachu, who fries Geodude. Brock then sends out Onix. Piakchu freaks out, and sends lightning bolts everywhere, destroying some sprinklers on the ceiling. Onix grabs Pikachu and uses Bind. But Pikachu uses a Thunder Bolt. Unfrotunutly, he can't keep it up for long, and becomes exausted. Onix continues squeezing him, until Brock tells it to stop. He tells Ash he should surrender.

Suddenly, the flames from the electricity start the sprinklers. Onix roars in pain. Misty shouts that water weakens Rock Pokemon. Ash uses this to his advantage and has Pikachu shock Onix. It falls to the ground.

Just as Ash is about to tell Pikachu to finish it off, all of Brock's siblings grab onto him, stopping him. They say they don't want him to hurt Brock's Pokemon. Ash calls off Pikachu. Brock says the match isn't finished, but Ash says the sprinklers going off was just a fluke. He leaves. Misty says that just as he got a lucky break, he has to be a nice guy.

Ash is walking away from Pewter City. Brock runs to catch up. He hands Ash a Boulder Badge. Ash says he can't except, but Brock insists. He says how he doesn't realy like battling Pokemon, that he prefers raising him. He says that he wants to become the world's best Pokemon breeder, and he wants Ash to fulfill his dream for him. Ash accepts, but then Flint appears. He takes off the hat and beard, and its actually Brock's father! He tells Brock to fulfill his own dream, and that he should be the one taking care of his family. He says he failed in becoming a Pokemon trainer, and was too ashamed to return home. Brock says there's something they need to talk about, and hands his fathr a needle and thread. He then tell starts rapidly telling his father about what the kids like, dont like, etc. (Tommy only eats cold spagetti for breakfast, and Suzie is always ripping her dress, so you better learn to sew, etc. =)
