Charmander-The Stray

Ash and his friends find a weak Charmander waiting on a rock by the road. At the next Pokémon Center a boy named Damien boasts about how he got rid of his Charmander by leaving it on a rock. A horrible storm sends the four rushing out in concern. After they nurse the Pokémon back to health and it defeats Team Rocket, Damien demands his now tough Charmander back. But it's had enough of the snotty trainer and decides to go with Ash instead. Yeah!

The Squirtle Squad plays tricks and makes general trouble, and they help Team Rocket to capture Pikachu. But their attack leaves Ash's Pokémon badly injured. They let him go to town to buy a potion and he overhears Jessie and James planning to attack the Squad. Hurrying back to warn them, he saves the leader. It wants to come along with Ash now too-he now has all three starter Pokémon-and the Squad becomes firefighters.

After Ash captures a Krabby on the beach, our foursome spots a lighthouse. Bill, the lighthouse keeper, studies Pokémon and is especially interested in undiscovered ones. He's been talking to a giant Pokémon that lives out to sea. Just as the behemoth approaches, Team Rocket blasts in with bazookas, scaring it off. Not discouraged in the least, Bill awaits his next encounter with the tremendous creature.

They've finally made it to Vermilion City. After a bite to eat Ash and Pikachu challenge the city's Gym leader-and his Raichu! Raichu beats poor Pikachu badly, but it refuses to evolve to even the odds. Instead, it uses Pikachu attacks Raichu didn't learn when it evolved so quickly. Pikachu fights so bravely even Raichu has to applaud when the unevolved Pokémon wins! Now Ash has a Thunder Badge.

Given four cruise tickets by two suspicious girl-scouts, Ash and his friends are riding aboard the St. Anne. It's a regular Pokémon convention! When hoards of Team Rocket members (including the "girl-scouts" Jessie and James) attack and demand the passengers' Pokémon, Ash rallies them all to unite and attack. Unfortunately, this causes the great ship to sink. Abandoning ship, everyone makes it out okay-except for Ash, Brock, Misty, Pikachu and Team Rocket, trapped inside!

Our heroes, and our villains, find themselves under the ocean in a sunken ship. They decide on an uneasy truce to escape their watery grave. Using the help of Misty's water Pokémon, they make it to a raft on the surface. But James has angered a Gyarados, and it calls on more of its kind to perform their deadly attack: Dragon Rage. It's said no one has ever survived this legendary assault before. . . .

Ash, Brock and Misty wake to find themselves on a deserted island, and Ash's Pokémon are gone! Meanwhile, Pikachu, Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Ekans, Koffing and Meowth have joined up to look for their missing masters. After all the little groups are chased by huge versions of different Pokémon, they finally meet up on a roller coaster. The whole island turns out to be nothing but a Pokémon amusement park!

Ash and his friends have made it to the beautiful city of Porta Vista, where a tiny Horsea tries to warn them of terrible things coming. The terrible thing is a pack of Tentacool, led by a giant Tentacruel. They plan on demolishing Porta Vista because the people have destroyed their home, an offshore reef being made into resort. Only Misty can convince the angry jellyfish that they've caused enough damage, and they agree to leave.

In the next town Brock and James are bewitched by a beautiful girl, a ghost who died 2,000 years ago and still waits for her love to return. An old woman seems to hold the only solution, but she turns out to be Gastly, a ghost Pokémon, in disguise-along with the enchanting girl! With the rising of the sun the ghost leaves and our heroes go to enjoy the festival. No one is near when the real maiden's ghost thanks Gastly for keeping the spirit of her memory alive. (Yes, I'm well aware they're terrible puns.;)

It's Butterfree's mating season! Wanting his Pokémon to be happy, Ash releases his Butterfree so it can go find its mate. Spotting a cute pink one, the poor guy's quickly shot down. When Team Rocket show up to steal the flock, only Ash's escapes and chases after, saving the one it loves. Moved by so much courage, the little pink changes its mind. After a tearful goodbye, the two Pokémon disappear into the sunset to start their new life.
