EPISODE 96
The Mandarin Island Miss Match
Misty is exclaiming how she can’t believe how many
battles Ash has had since they arrived on another island. Ash is also pretty
smug about winning all his battles on the orange islands. Tracey reads about
Prima (actually Lorelei) and she is having a demonstration where people can
battle her. Ash goes up to another male trainer shows him his two badges and
asks to battle he agrees sending out a highly experienced Persian against
Ash’s Squirtle. Squirtle wins and then the other trainer sends out Tauros and
Ash chooses Charizard. He burns up the Tauros and Ash making Misty say how he
looks like Ash and is out of control and won’t come back into his pokeball. A
woman comes up and sends out her Slowbro to use a powerful disable attack on him
bringing him back down to the ground so Ash can recall him. Ash thought that he
would be able to control Charizard by now with all the experience he has gained.
The woman is Prima and Misty swoons over her because she is a fabulous water
trainer and Tracey offers to sketch her. She invites them to come to her
demonstration after trying to explain to Ash he needs to control his Pokèmon
from his heart, but ends up leaving saying you don’t get it do you. At the
demonstration Prima beats everyone with just one move. Later she invites Ash,
Misty, and Tracey to her house and Ash asks to battle her. She reluctantly agrees
and send out Cloyster against Ash’s Pikachu. Pikachu loses and she tells Ash
that he needs to bond even stronger with his Pokèmon and that when she is in
battle she is as unforgiving as ice, but when not in battle she is as calm as
water. Ash says he will keep her advice in mind and strides forward one more
step to becoming a pokemon master.
