Episode Reviews: The flame Pokémon-athon

Last shown on British Television: Not sure...

By Ben C

Who's that Pokémon? Not sure
Pikachu's Jukebox? Pokérap
Brock or Tracey? Brock!

Ash and his friends have arrived in what they think is Safari Zone. Then the ground starts shaking. A herd of Tauros stampedes by. Ash send Pikachu to battle, but Pikachu is taking a nap, of course. He sends Charmander, and tells it to use Ember. Before it can does, something falls out of the sky and lands on Charmander! A Growlithe! He has Charmander use Flamethrower, but so does the Growlithe. He brings back Charmander, and is about to send Squirtle, when someone yells for him to stop.

Its a girl riding a Ponyta. She says this is a Pokémon Reserve, and its illegal to catch Pokémon there. Brock sees her and goes into the usual trance. Its the Big P Ranch, owned by the Laremie Family. The girl is Lara Laramie. And the Growlithe makes sure no one catches the Pokémon.

They go to another part of the ranch, where people tend to small groups of different Pokémon. Ash's Pokédex says Ponyta's mane is made of fire. Laura explains that Ponyta won't burn people it trusts. Ash tries touching it, only to get his hand fried. He has Squirtle put it out. Brock says how Pokémon breeders love to get Pokémon from the Big P Ranch. They're raised in the wild, and are stronger than others. Laura says there is going to be a party, and invites them to come. And if they stay the night, they can see the big Pokémon race tommorow. If you win, you become an honorary member of the Laramie Clan.

Another stampede! Of Dodrio this time. They run by very quickly. A guy on a Dodrio, Dario, walks over to them. He says he's going to win the race. He leaves, and Misty comments on him being a jerk.

They're at the party. Everyone is encouraging Laura, and saying she'll win. Ash is eating a chocolate Magikarp. =) Suddenly, Dario runs over and says the Tauros are going crazy. They run off, and Dario smiles. Laura whistles, and Ponyta comes, and she jumps onto its back. They all run toward the ranch. They get there, to see all the Tauros going crazy. Laura has Growlithe calm them down. There's a rustling in the bushes, and a shadow jumps in front of Ponyta, and something flashes on it. Ponyta panics, and throws Lara off. Ash manages to calm down Ponyta.

We see Team Rocket watching them. Meowth was the shadow that scared Ponyta. And Dario had hired them to make sure he'd win the race. James says if they become part of the Laramie Clan, they can make lots of money!

Laura's arm is broken, so she can't race. She says that Ash could ride! Ash says he'll only get burned, but Laura says he should try. Misty and Brock say they'll help. Ash tries to touch Ponyta, but gets burned again. Laura tells Ponyta that if it wins with another rider, that will prove its the best of all.

Later, Ash gets on Ponyta, and he isn't burned! But, he accidently kicks it on the back leg, and it runs, with Ash hanging on by its tail. =)

The big race! There are lots of people and their Pokémon. Brock is on an Onix, Misty is on a Starmie, Ash is on Ponyta, and Pikachu is riding Squirtle! =)

And they're off! With Pikachu and Squirtle in last. Dario gets the lead! Something hits the heads of a Tauros someone is riding, and it hits a Nidorina, and they both start fighting. That was Team Rocket, of course.

The first obstacle is the 45 degree uphill climb. And Dario is in the lead. With Pikachu and Squirtle in last. Then they go down the other side. The Electrode is rolling down really fast, and is catching up to Dario! But it falls into a hole, put there by Team rocket. then it explodes, knocking out everyone around it, including Ash and Ponyta! Squirtle and Pikachu come, and Pikachu shocks Ash and Ponyta, waking them.

The next one is where the Pokémon have to jump from rock to rock to get across a river. Brock's Onix and a Rhyhorn stop at the edge. The Rhyhorn jumps on a rock, but it sinks. Onix can't continue on, because the water would hurt it. But Starmie and Squirtle are doing great it the water. And Ponyta easliy jumps from rock to rock.

In the next one, the Pokémon have to eat an entire bowl of food before continueing. But all three of Dodrio's heads start fighting over the food. Squirtle, Pikachu, Misty, Starmie, Ash and Ponyta catch up. Dario tells Team Rocket to go.

Smoke covers everything. Jessie and James say their lines. Pikachu and Squirtle are stuffing their faces. =) Ash finds ou that they were the ones that broke Laura's arm. Ash sends Pikachu and Squirtle, but Arbok uses Glare, paralyzing them. Misty sends Starmie, but Weezing uses Sludge, and Starmie can't get it off it. Ponyta reers up, and seems to be panicing. Dario and Dodrio run ahead. Misty tells Ash he has to win, they take care of Team Rocket. Arbok is about to use Poison Sting, but suddenly, Ponyta is completely covered in flames! Arbok stops, but then Weezing uses its Poison Gas, and it catches fire, and there's a big explosion. Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!

Dario is in the lead! But something is cacthing up. Its a ball of flame, which is actually Ponyta! And its just a run to the finish line now. Ponyta closes in, and its neck on neck! Dodrio pecks Ponyta on the face, and it starts to fall behind!

Ponyta starts to glow. Its evolving! It evolves into Rapidash, the fastest sprinter in the world, with a top speed of 100 mph! It catches up again. They're almost at the finish. And its a photo finish, with Rapidash as the winner! Dario says Ash cheated, but Ash says he attacked first. Dario tells Dodrio to attack, but Rapidash kicks them, sending them flying.

Rapidash is the new champion, along with its trainer, Lara Laramie, and Ash Ketchum! Rapidash licks Ash on the face. They all laugh.

Lara says Safari Zone is just ahead. Laura says she's sure Ash will become a Pokémon master. They leave.

Dario is mad at Team Rocket, and has them tied up. Dodrio starts pecking them. Meowth: "James, stop this crazy thing!" =)
