Episode #39 - Showdown at Dark City
Hello.
Here's the review of today's episode, "Showdown at Dark City."
The episode begins with Ash & crew arriving at Dark City,
which appears to be a ghost town. The trio are greeted by three children who
promptly throw rocks at them, because they are Pokemon Trainers, and
therefore bad. A local restaurant owner informs the group as to what's going
on in the town. There are two local Pokemon gyms that are both fighting for
control (anyone see Last Man Standing?). The gym that wins will be an
Official Pokemon Gym. The Kaz Gym and the Yaz Gym, apparently, train their
Pokemon for fighting and violence. The Yaz Gym leader used Scyther, who is
extremely cool, and the Kaz Gym leader used Electabuzz. The others used
various Pokemon in the battle, which more or less ended as a tie.
Ash & crew get "recruited" by the Yaz Gym when Brock falls
for the beautiful "recruiter." The Yaz leader decided to see how tough they
were by unleashing Scyther on them. Well, Scyther accidentally sliced
Pikachu's ketchup bottle (which Pikachu took from the restaurant), and got
ketchup splattered in his eyes. Scyther went berzerk, and the Yaz leader
captured him back into the Pokeball. The leader, amazed at the group's
"power," immediately welcomes them in, but Ash will have none of it. He
tries to leave, and is beaten up by the rest of the Yaz Gym.
Well, Team Rocket (YES) has teamed up with the Kaz Gym, and
are ready for battle against the Yaz Gym once again. Ash & crew learns that
both Scyther and Electabuzz become enraged once they see the color red, so
they set up a trap for the next "Gang War."
I won't spoil it for you, but I will say that the ending is
great. The battle scenes are really great. I was pleased with the amount of
Pokemon that made an appearance in this episode, and what happens to Team
Rocket at the end is absolutely fantastic. Scott's grade : A.
I hope you like it. Let me know if you want more, as I tape
every episode (I'm NOT getting up at 7:30 am to watch it). Thanks!
