Ash challenges Gary, and Gary finally accepts the challenge know that he
knows Ash was the champion of the Orange League. Ash calls out his
Pikachu
and Gary calls out his Eevee. Pikachu starts off with quick attack,
but
Eevee uses reflect to block it. Pikachu uses thunderbolt but Eevee
manages
to dodge it. Ash tells Pikachu to use it's most powerful attack...
Thunder,
however it fails because Eevee uses Headbutt and hits Pikachu before it can
use Thunder. Pikachu falls defeated giving victory to Gary and Eevee.
Ash's friends are surprised becuse Ash won the Orange league and lost to
Gary. Gary shows off like always and tells Ash he will be entering the
Jolt
League, so he'll be leaving Pallet Town for a while. Ash who does not
want
Gary to become ahead of him (more than he already is) quicly decides to go
to Johto to try to win the Jolt league. Brock decides to join the
group and
Professor Oak who can't manage to scan the GS ball, asks Ash to give the GS
ball to another Pokémon professor in Johto, because he may be able to
figure
out how the GS ball works. Meanwhile, Team Rocket shows up and
challenges
Gary, but he simply ignores them (in the previous episode Gary battled
Jessie and won easily). Professor Oak gives Ash the improved version
of the
pokédex and tells him to head for the Jolt league. Tracy decides to
remain
working with his idol, Professor Oak. On the way Team Rocket, shows up
as
reporters and steal Pikachu but they are blasted off by a Scyther.
Finally
Ash, Misty and Brock set out into the adventures in Johto.
Great episode 5/5 - We got to see more of Gary's pokémon and also Brock
joined the group. Although Ash returned from the Orange League he
didn't
pick up his Pidgeot as he promised.
