GolfDude's Review

 

We start off on Lapras and we see everyone enjoying themselves, then Misty

and Tracey start to chat about how misty is trying to teach togepi attacks,

but she thinks togepi doesnt understand yet ( Flashback ). Then Ash says to

himself "Maybe he needs a better trainer" and misty butts in making a

situation. Now how familiar is this site..

What do you get when you have a water pokemon and open seas? Another whirl

pool comes up knocks everyone on Pinkan Island ( the island of the pink

pokemon ). This time everyone is one one place and is ok. Tracey as usual

wants to draw pics of some possibly new pokemon on the island, so they all

climb up the  mountain side to get up. Tracey stops ash and them as they

spot a pink Rhydon eating. Tracey using his pokemon smarts, moves around and

finds the best position to draw. Then Ash comes along and spooks Rhydon from

behind, and pushes him over. Rhydon then does his strongest attack by

chasing our 3 heros to a cliff side. THen out of the blue, Togepi saves the

day by using his secret teleport move, leaving rhydon hanging on by a branch

that is holding him on the cliff, and Ash, Misty and Tracey unharmed. 

Along comes Officer Jenny in her jeep warning the kids that the island is a

pokemon reserve, and then they end up helping jenny save the rhydon on the

cliff, and he went off on his merry way. On the rebound, we see Jigglypuff

floating on what we think is a shell untill we see its Team Rocket's

Magicarp Sub. They get caught in the same whirlpool, also landing on the

island. They have seen the pink rhydon and wanna catch a pink pokemon,

Jigglypuff comes up, and James goes " A Pink Jugglypuff!", then he remembers

that jigglypuffs are always pink, and get wacked by jesse. Meanwhile

Jigglypuff is ready to sing them to sleep, butt they run off ang as usual,

jigglypuff gets angry. thats the last time we see him this episode. 

Our 3 heroes are in Jenny's Pokemon Station as they get a talking to, then Ash

calls prof Oak, and Oak says " Did Jenny Arrest you yet?" acting surprised,

he talked about pinkan island, then tracey pops into the phone explaining on

how he like prof Oak. Now Jenny notices more poachers (team rocket) is on

the island. Our 3 go with jenny to find team rocket. Team Rocket as the go

through the forest find all the pink pokemon and notice 2 pink nidoran

eating, Jesse calls out his weepinbell ( but as usual weepinbell eats James

). Then Jesse calls out Lickitung and chases them into a cave, he runs in

ready to catch him. Pikachu uses his thunder attack, which shocks team

rocket, and wakes up teh nidoking, which blasted team rokcet away again. Now

he was charging at jenny and our 3 heroes. They drive until they get

cornered. In danger, Togepi starts moving his hands again and as he uses his

strongest attack, the attack misses as if they were in a bubble, Togepi

saved them again, Jenny told them to get out and then  threw a rope at

nidoking, it looked like nidoking had the edge but jenny goes around him and

ties nidoking up. They are saved and Jenny takes them on a boat past the

whirlpools, and Misty starts to think togepi saved them and when she tried

to make togepi move his arms, he messed up, and tracey and ash wouldnt

believe her.. TO BE CONTINUED.. THE END ( for this review )

-------------------------

This being one of my favorite episodes I had to

contribute this.

We start seeing Misty complain about Togepi not

knowing any attacks, despite the fact that Togepi used

Metronome in a previous episode.  We see her trying to

teach Togepi headbutt.

Lapras gets stuck in a whirlpool, and the group lands

on Pinkin Island, an unexplored island.  Tracey wants

to see the Pokemon on the island and finds a pink

Rhyhorn.  He sneaks up to it, draws a sketch.  Ash

gets jealous and tries to sneak up too, only to make

the Rhyhorn charge them.  Togepi uses Teleport but no

one knows its him, and the Rhyhorn falls of the cliff

(ow).  Jenny comes out (I dont like her new outfit)

and arrests them.  Seems Pinkin Island is a Pokemon

reserve which special berries that makes Pokemon pink.

The group saves the Rhyhorn and then call Prof. Oak.

Meanwhile Team Rocket crashes on the Island.  They see

all the lovely pink pokemon and then get excited to

see 'a pink jigglypuff'.  Jigglypuff gets ready to

sing and they run.  Then they notice the OTHER pokemon

are pink.  They decide to try to catch the two

Nidorans (the males are pink anyway, but one was a

female).  Jessie sends out Lickitung (James shouts

'its a pink lickitung!' before being hit by that paper

fan jessies always carrying around) and they chase the

Nidorans into a cave.  The two think its pretty simple

to catch them... when... out runs... a NIDOKING!

Lickitung isn't so willing to go mano a mano with the

awesome Nidoking and Weezing and Arbok stop him until

Lickitung licks him, causing him to faint.

Just then the trio and Jenny show up and pikachu

shocks team rocket and their pokemon, AND Nidoking.

Nidoking jumps up and thrashes team rocket, who 'blast

off again'.  Only, Nidoking is PISSED and attacks the

group.  Misty trys to fight him but sends out Psyduck,

Traceys Marril is afraid to fight, and Pikachus

electric attack won't work (Nidorans are poison type,

but Nidoking and Nidoqueen are ground types too, just

ask Giovanni).  When Nidoking uses a hyper beam,

Togepi uses barrier.  Jenny ties up the Nidoking

without hurting him and then escorts the group off of

the island.

This was one of favorite episodes because we see my

personal favorite Pokemon, Nidoran.  The only other

appearance of a Nidoran I know is the episode where

Brock leaves.  Any idea when Ash is actually going to

use his Pokedex on a Nidoran?

Whos that Pokemon: Kabuto

- Nidoran King
