<section begin="Synopsis"/>''After being struck by lightning, Pikachu is having trouble using its Electric-type attacks...but a second strange thunderstorm heals the Pokémon just as quickly! Professors Oak and Juniper attribute the ordeal to the Legendary Pokémon Zekrom and agree that further research is needed.''<section end="Synopsis"/>
In this episode [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] decided to go on a quest in the [[Unova]] Region. He is still at his goal catching every Pokémon in the world. Professor Juniper gave Ash five empty [[Poké balls|Pokéballs]] and a new [[Pokédex]], she also told him where the nearest gym was.
 
   
  +
''Meanwhile, Team Rocket has arrived in the Unova region and prepares to launch an operation designed to steal both Zekrom and Pikachu! Ash is eager to start his new journey, and armed with a new Pokédex and new Poké Balls, our hero sets out to meet as many Unova Pokémon as he can. While trying to catch a Pidove, Ash runs into a girl named Iris and her Pokémon Axew. It doesn't take long for Team Rocket to launch a plot to steal Pikachu, Pidove, and Axew, too! Of course, Ash springs into action, battling his old enemies Jessie, James, and Meowth. He gets some help from an unexpected source: Oshawott, who has been following Ash and Pikachu since they left Professor Juniper's lab. Before long, all the Pokémon are safely returned, while Team Rocket mysteriously vanishes.''
The next morning Ash left on his new quest, however Oshawott followed Ash all the way to [[Isshu Route 1|Route 1]]. When Ash was walking in route 1 he heard something in the bushes, he checked to see if it was a pokémon. The Pokédex said "'''[[Axew]], the Tusk Pokémon. Axew marks its territory by making scratch marks on trees with its tusks, which regrow if they fall out."''' Ash looked at the Pokédex picture then the thing hiding in the bush. He said to himself "That doesn't look like this... I'll catch it anyway!"
 
   
  +
''The group visits the Pokémon Center, where Nurse Joy restores Pikachu, Axew, and Pidove to perfect health. Iris admits that although Ash acts "like a kid," she is impressed with the way he sprang into action when saving their three Pokémon. And Ash wonders out loud why Oshawott helped them out the way it did...''<ref>{{Cite|url = https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/14_02-enter-iris-and-axew/|entry = Enter Iris and Axew! {{!}} Pokémon TV (pokemon.com)|title = The Official Pokémon Website {{!}} Pokemon.com|access-date = {{MDY|11|8|2023}}}}</ref>
Ash threw a Pokéball to the thing in the bush, and it just bounced right off it. A girl popped out of the bushes and yelled "OK, What was that for?!" Ash replied "See, I was only trying to catch a Pokémon." The girl asked "Oh, so what you're really telling me is that I look like a Pokémon. Your Pokédex, is this cute face in there? Tell me, IS IT?!" the girl smiled but suddenly got mad again. Ash said confused "No, uh...Sorry." The girl smiled and said "Fine, I accept your apology. But you've got a long way to go as a trainer if you think I look like a Pokémon. Right , Axew?" A Pokémon popped out of the girl's hair and happily said "Axew Axew!" Ash gasped "Wow, that's where it was." The girl noticed [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] and gasped "Whoa, no way! Pikachu?" she grabbed it and hugged it [[File:IrisStopIt.png|thumb|left]]"You've got to be the sweetest thing ever! It's so cute! And those jiggling cheeks! You can't find anything this jiggly in Unova! Well I, for one, am dying to know what a Pikachu's doing here. Now come on, Tell me! Tell me! Tell [[File:Pokemon Episode 2 Lris hugging Pikachu.png|thumb|334px|Iris hugging Pikachu]]me!" Ash answered "We're from [[Pallet Town]] in the [[Kanto|Kanto Region]]." The girl asked "[[Pallet Town]]?" Ash answered "Yeah. I'm Ash, And I wanna enter the Unova League." the girl contined "Isn't that nice? It's nice to meet you. I'm Iris" but right after she told Ash her name, Pikachu shocked her with a [[Thunderbolt]].
 
   
 
==Episode plot==
Iris apologized to Pikachu. She told Ash about the great thunder that happened the other day. Ash told her "Sure was [[Professor Juniper]] said [[Zekrom]] caused all that lightning." Iris gasped "Zekrom, the legendary Pokémon caused it?! Please, I want to know everything?!" Iris got interrupted, Pikachu pointed at a Pokémon. Ash looked at the Pokémon "The Pokémon from yesterday!" Ash ran with the Pokémon and Iris caught up with him.
 
  +
Prof. Oak and Juniper attempt to do something to stop Pikachu from releasing that much electricity, but fail. Ash hugs Pikachu and gets electrocuted. However, the thunderstorm stops, the systems are back online and Pikachu seems to be cured. Ash allows Pikachu to use Thunderbolt and Volt Tackle on him, causing Ash to be electrocuted, but sees Pikachu is indeed cured. Juniper and Oak agree they should research about Zekrom, while Ash sees Unova should be explored. During the dinner, Ash admits he wants to explore Unova and go for the League and compete in Gym Battles. Oak tells he will take care of Ash's Pokémon, while Delia asks of Pikachu to watch over Ash. Oak also wishes to hear about new Unova Pokémon, so Ash promises to call Oak sometimes.
   
  +
Professor Juniper gives Ash five [[Poké Ball]]s and a new [[Pokédex]], and also tells him where he should go to Striaton City. She also tells Trip went ahead of him, so Ash promises to defeat him next time he sees Trip. The next morning Delia, Oak and Juniper wish Ash luck on the journey, as he leaves on his new quest. Delia cannot wait to see how her son has grown up, while [[Ash's Oshawott|Oshawott]] observes. As Ash was walks on Route 1 he hears something in the bushes. He checks it is an Axew and goes to catch it. [[Iris (anime)|A girl]] comes out of the bushes and yells. The girl asks if Ash was saying she looks like a Pokémon, yelling at him more. Ash is confused, so the girl smiles and says he has a long way to go if he thinks she looks like a Pokémon. [[Iris' Haxorus (anime)|Axew]] pops out of the girl's hair, so Ash where it is.
Meanwhile with [[Team Rocket]], they are discussing with plans on how to get Pikachu with [[Giovanni]] and he tells them "I have every confidence that you won't let me down." But after they are done talking, a school of [[Woobat]] attacked them.
 
   
  +
The girl notices Ash's Pikachu and hugs him. She asks Ash what a Pikachu is doing in Unova. Ash introduces himself and responds they are from Pallet Town in Kanto and wants to compete in the Unova League. Iris admires this goal, but hugs Pikachu too much and gets electrocuted. She tells Ash about the great thunder that happened the other day to which Ash replies it was [[Zekrom]]. Iris gets excited and wants to know everything about it. Ash says that Zekrom caused Pikachu to overload with electricity. However, Pikachu spots a new Pokémon, so Ash goes after it. Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] is talking to [[Giovanni (anime)|the boss]] from a cave. They report they came to Unova and encountered a legendary Pokémon. They request their Pokémon from the HQ be transferred to them, but the secretary comes and reports that Pokémon that aren't from Unova would attract too much attention so they'll have to catch Unova native Pokémon, though Meowth realizes he is from Kanto. Giovanni expects them not to fail him and logs out, so Jessie, James and Meowth promise to get new Pokémon and their goal is put their names in Team Rocket history. Giovanni's secretary asks if he really thinks they'll succeed, he says it is unclear, however, Giovanni says that he expects them to draw attention to get the opposing organization from Unova to appear.
While that was happening Ash followed that Pokémon still trying to catch it. Ash looked up the Pokémon on the Pokédex and it said "'''[[Deerling]] the Season pokémon. With the change of each season, Deerlings appearance changes as well." '''Ash got a Pokéball and threw it at Deerling. The Pokémon used its ear to stop the Pokéball from coming at it. Iris tells Ash "You don't get it. You act like a little kid...If you want to catch it, you've gotta battle it." Ash remembered "I knew that! Come on Pikachu!" Pikachu tagged along with Ash. Once all the Deerling noticed Ash and Pikachu, they ran away. After that a herd of Pokémon ran over Ash and Pikachu. Ash was dizzy and so was Pikachu. Ash said "Ok, I give. Who was that Pokémon anyway?" then he and Pikachu fell. Iris said "It was a [[Patrat]]. You are a little kid." Axew agreed with Iris.
 
   
  +
As Team Rocket checks the supplies given by Giovanni, including pokeballs, a flock of [[Jessie's Woobat|Woobat]] attack them. Ash and Iris watch the Deerling, so Ash goes to catch one. However, the Ball bounces off, so Iris sees he is a little kid, as he needs to weaken the Pokémon first. Pikachu goes to attack, but the Deerling escape. Instead, Ash and Pikachu are being ran over by Patrat. Later Ash picks a fruit for dinner, but Iris harvested too many, as the apples are dropped on Ash, so Iris apologizes to him. During the night, Ash explains what happened to Pikachu. Iris hears he saw Zekrom and wishes she could meet it one day. Iris falls asleep, while Ash and Pikachu gaze upon the stars. They see a shooting star and make a wish, while Oshawott watches. Next day, Ash and Pikachu travel, but see Iris is not with them. They encounter Pidove, so Ash wants to catch it. Pikachu electrocutes one, but this causes the other Pidove to attack. The Pidove recovers and flies away with the others.
Later Ash and Iris were picking apples for dinner. Ash pick an apple and asked "Wonder if I can eat this?" then a pile of apples fell on top of him. Iris said happily "Come and get it! Dinner!...Huh? Where'd Ash go?" Ash answered weakly from under the pile of apples "Down here..." Iris said "Sorry about that." They talked until night. Iris said "I see...So Pikachu had a really rough day because of Zekrom." Ash continued "Pikachu must've stored up and then let out all its electricity, because of all the intense stuff Zekrom was up to, that's what the professor said." Iris said "Well Zekrom is a legendary Pokémon you know. I'd love to meet Zekrom some day. I can't wait to meet Zekrom!" Ash contined "Unova's got lots of cool Pokémon, not just Zekrom, I'll meet them all. Iris?" When Ash checked on Iris she was sleeping in a tree. Ash sighed. Ash looked up in the sky "That Unova sky's full of stars. From now on, our journey's gonna be under this sky." A shooting star flashed in Ash's and Pikachu's eyes, Ash said excitely "A shooting star. That's great. Good luck. Pikachu, don't you feel lucky too?" While they where talking, Oshawatt was still following them!
 
   
  +
Ash knows it is not easy, but sees another Pidove. Pikachu uses Quick Attack and Iron Tail on Pidove, knocking it out. Ash throws his Poké Ball, but Pidove comes out and uses Gust on Pikachu, followed by Quick Attack and Air Cutter. Pidove uses Quick Attack, but Pikachu dodges and uses Thunderbolt. Ash throws the Poké Ball and catches Pidove, making him excited. After celebrating, Iris and Axew return, who are not impressed about Ash catching Pidove. However, Ash thinks it will be his new friend, plus it is his first Unova Pokémon. Suddenly, Axew and Pikachu get captured by Team Rocket, who throws them in a glass box. Iris sees that is a talking Meowth, who tells he is genius to know how to talk. Ash sends [[Ash's Unfezant|Pidove]]. Meowth goes to use Fury Swipes, but gets blown away by Gust.
The Next sunny day Ash continued on his quest to become a Pokémon Master. However Iris vanished. Ash said to himself and Pikachu "Iris left early, you know? I wonder where she could've gone? Well, no big deal. Its a brand new day." Ash stopped talking when he heard something walking. It was a pigeon-like like Pokémon. Ash checked the Pokédex "'''[[Pidove]], The Tiny Pidgeon Pokémon. A Pidove flock's cooing can get extremely noisy. Pidove is not attracted to shiny objects."''' Ash said out loud "Cool, Pidove... Lets go!" Ash followed the Pidove to find a group of Pidove. Ash pointed at one of the Pidove. "OK, Let's battle that one!" Pikachu jumped into battle mode, Ash told Pikachu to use Thunderbolt once, the Pidove fainted. Pikachu's Thunderbolt scared all of the Pidove, they started to attack him. One of the attacks was [[Air Slash]], two of the Pidove used [[Quick Attack]]. While that was happening, the fainted Pidove recovered and flew away with the rest of the group. Ash noticed there was one last Pidove. Ash told Pikachu to use Quick Attack, the Pidove got hit. After that Ash told Pikachu to finish it with [[Iron Tail]], Ash threw a Poké Ball 1...2...3 POP! The Pokémon escaped. Then the Pidove used [[Whirlwind]], then it used Quick Attack after that, Air cutter, then it used Quick Attack again, Pikachu jumped right before it could hit. The Pidove hit a tree and got hurt. "All right, Thunderbolt! Now" Ash yelled Pikachu used Thunderbolt, the Pidove tried to escape but it got hit. Then Ash threw a Pokéball and he had caught it! Iris happened to appear out of nowhere and said "Whoa. You're '''that''' excited about catching a little Pidove? What a kid." While Ash and Iris was talking Iris's Axew found an apple, Pikachu was hungry so Axew cut the apple in half with it's teeth, they both started to eat right when Pikachu took a bite out of it, two hands grabbed Axew and Pikachu. Pikachu yelled "Pika Pika" while Axew yelled "Axew Ax!"
 
   
  +
Jessie sends a Woobat, who uses Air Slash. Pidove avoids it and uses Quick Attack, but gets hit by Gust. Pidove is defeated, so Jessie calls Woobat back. Team Rocket flies off in the balloon, so Ash climbs up on a tree and jumps to rescue Pikachu and Axew. However, he fails and falls down. Suddenly, an Oshawott appears and throws the shell, piercing Team Rocket's balloon and causing the cage to be shattered. Ash and Iris catch Axew and Pikachu, while Oshawott is pleased. Jessie sends Woobat, who uses Air Slash, hitting Pikachu and Axew. It goes to do so once more, but Oshawott uses Water Gun, stopping Woobat. Pikachu uses Volt Tackle, but James throws a smoke bomb, causing Team Rocket to disappear.
[[File:376.jpg|thumb|323px|Pikachu and Axew are trapped in the glass box]]Ash and Iris noticed they saw a 2 people and a [[Team Rocket's Meowth|Meowth]] Ash yelled "You guys again?" It was [[Team Rocket]] [[Jessie]] and [[James]] and of course Meowth. They did their introduction. Iris asked "Team Rocket? Who are they?" Ash answered "They're a group of bad guys who steal peoples pokémon!!" Jessie said "Right, evil deeds like stealing Pokémon are our stock and trade to rule the world, because that's what we do." Iris yelled "Axew's not yours, it's mine! Give it back." James looked at Axew "I see, so this is Axew" Meowth continued "And we claim Axew as part of our takeover of the Unova region!" Iris gasped "Hold on, you must be a Meowth. What're you doing here?...Forget about that, how can you talk?!" Meowth answered "Simple, I'm a genius!! A Meowth that you only get to hear once in a lifetime." They threw Pikachu and Axew in a glass box. Pikachu and Axew tried to break out but it was impossibe. Ash said while throwing a Pokéball "No way. Pidove, I choose you!" [[Ash's Pidove|Pidove]] came out of the Pokéball. James said "He's using a region pokémon too" Jessie told Meowth to fight. Meowth was about to use [[Fury Swipes]] but it failed due to Pidove using [[Gust]].
 
   
  +
However, Pikachu and Axew faint, so Ash and Iris go to the Pokémon Center, though they thank Oshawott for the rescue. At the center, Pidove, Axew and Pikachu are healed, making Ash and Iris grateful. Joy admits it is rare to see Pikachu, so Ash tells her that he is from Kanto. Joy is pleased and lets Ash know the Pokémon Center is always available for healing. Iris admits even if Ash is still a kid, she is impressed by his will to save Pokémon. Ash is glad as well, but wonders why Oshawott helped them, as it watches them from outside the center.
Jessie told Ash that he's doing well. Jessie threw a Poké Ball, she said "Try my Pokémon on for size!" A fluffy bat looking like pokémon appeared out of the Poké Ball. Ash asked "What's that?" Iris answered "It's a Woobat!" Meowth said "A [[Jessie's Woobat|Woobat]]! That name's got a nice ring to it." Jessie continued "Nice ring is a good thing. Woobat, use Air Slash!" Ash yelled "Dodge it quick! All right use Quick Attack" Pidove avoided it. Then it used Quick Attack. Jessie told Woobat to avoid it and then use Gust. Then Pidove fainted. Ash and Iris ran to Pidove. Ash told it "Pidove! Snap out of it!" Then Jessie put Woobat back in it's Pokéball. James said "Our premier mission in Unova is complete. Off we go!" James opened a suit case which turned out to be a hot air balloon. As they left Jessie said "Nice doing business with you twerp." Iris started to climb a tree. Ash started climbing too. He jumped and tried to grab the glass box that Pikachu and Axew was in. Iris thought to herself "No way". Ash couldn't grab the glass box and he fell down. Suddenly Oshawott appeared! It threw the Shell that was on it's chest to Team Rocket's Balloon. Team Rocket's Balloon fell down. When it fell to the ground the glass box broke. Ash and Iris caught Pikachu and Axew while Oshawott caught it's shell. Oshawott started to dance. Team Rocket fell down. Jessie was mad. Jessie took Woobat's Pokéball and threw it. Woobat came out and used Air Slash on Pikachu and Axew. Jessie said "Air Slash again!" Woobat used all of its strength to make this Air Slash. Right Before it could hit Pikachu or Axew, Oshawott used [[Water Gun]]. Then Finally Ash told Pikachu to use [[Volt Tackle]]. Right before it could hit Team Rocket, James threw something that created smoke and they escaped. Ash asked "Did they escape?" After a few seconds Pikachu fainted.

Enter Iris and Axew! (Japanese: アイリスとキバゴ!, HepburnIris to Kibago!trans. Iris and Axew!) is the 2nd episode of Pocket Monsters: Best Wishes! and Pokémon: Black & White.

Synopsis

After being struck by lightning, Pikachu is having trouble using its Electric-type attacks...but a second strange thunderstorm heals the Pokémon just as quickly! Professors Oak and Juniper attribute the ordeal to the Legendary Pokémon Zekrom and agree that further research is needed.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket has arrived in the Unova region and prepares to launch an operation designed to steal both Zekrom and Pikachu! Ash is eager to start his new journey, and armed with a new Pokédex and new Poké Balls, our hero sets out to meet as many Unova Pokémon as he can. While trying to catch a Pidove, Ash runs into a girl named Iris and her Pokémon Axew. It doesn't take long for Team Rocket to launch a plot to steal Pikachu, Pidove, and Axew, too! Of course, Ash springs into action, battling his old enemies Jessie, James, and Meowth. He gets some help from an unexpected source: Oshawott, who has been following Ash and Pikachu since they left Professor Juniper's lab. Before long, all the Pokémon are safely returned, while Team Rocket mysteriously vanishes.

The group visits the Pokémon Center, where Nurse Joy restores Pikachu, Axew, and Pidove to perfect health. Iris admits that although Ash acts "like a kid," she is impressed with the way he sprang into action when saving their three Pokémon. And Ash wonders out loud why Oshawott helped them out the way it did...[1]

Episode plot

Prof. Oak and Juniper attempt to do something to stop Pikachu from releasing that much electricity, but fail. Ash hugs Pikachu and gets electrocuted. However, the thunderstorm stops, the systems are back online and Pikachu seems to be cured. Ash allows Pikachu to use Thunderbolt and Volt Tackle on him, causing Ash to be electrocuted, but sees Pikachu is indeed cured. Juniper and Oak agree they should research about Zekrom, while Ash sees Unova should be explored. During the dinner, Ash admits he wants to explore Unova and go for the League and compete in Gym Battles. Oak tells he will take care of Ash's Pokémon, while Delia asks of Pikachu to watch over Ash. Oak also wishes to hear about new Unova Pokémon, so Ash promises to call Oak sometimes.

Professor Juniper gives Ash five Poké Balls and a new Pokédex, and also tells him where he should go to Striaton City. She also tells Trip went ahead of him, so Ash promises to defeat him next time he sees Trip. The next morning Delia, Oak and Juniper wish Ash luck on the journey, as he leaves on his new quest. Delia cannot wait to see how her son has grown up, while Oshawott observes. As Ash was walks on Route 1 he hears something in the bushes. He checks it is an Axew and goes to catch it. A girl comes out of the bushes and yells. The girl asks if Ash was saying she looks like a Pokémon, yelling at him more. Ash is confused, so the girl smiles and says he has a long way to go if he thinks she looks like a Pokémon. Axew pops out of the girl's hair, so Ash where it is.

The girl notices Ash's Pikachu and hugs him. She asks Ash what a Pikachu is doing in Unova. Ash introduces himself and responds they are from Pallet Town in Kanto and wants to compete in the Unova League. Iris admires this goal, but hugs Pikachu too much and gets electrocuted. She tells Ash about the great thunder that happened the other day to which Ash replies it was Zekrom. Iris gets excited and wants to know everything about it. Ash says that Zekrom caused Pikachu to overload with electricity. However, Pikachu spots a new Pokémon, so Ash goes after it. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is talking to the boss from a cave. They report they came to Unova and encountered a legendary Pokémon. They request their Pokémon from the HQ be transferred to them, but the secretary comes and reports that Pokémon that aren't from Unova would attract too much attention so they'll have to catch Unova native Pokémon, though Meowth realizes he is from Kanto. Giovanni expects them not to fail him and logs out, so Jessie, James and Meowth promise to get new Pokémon and their goal is put their names in Team Rocket history. Giovanni's secretary asks if he really thinks they'll succeed, he says it is unclear, however, Giovanni says that he expects them to draw attention to get the opposing organization from Unova to appear.

As Team Rocket checks the supplies given by Giovanni, including pokeballs, a flock of Woobat attack them. Ash and Iris watch the Deerling, so Ash goes to catch one. However, the Ball bounces off, so Iris sees he is a little kid, as he needs to weaken the Pokémon first. Pikachu goes to attack, but the Deerling escape. Instead, Ash and Pikachu are being ran over by Patrat. Later Ash picks a fruit for dinner, but Iris harvested too many, as the apples are dropped on Ash, so Iris apologizes to him. During the night, Ash explains what happened to Pikachu. Iris hears he saw Zekrom and wishes she could meet it one day. Iris falls asleep, while Ash and Pikachu gaze upon the stars. They see a shooting star and make a wish, while Oshawott watches. Next day, Ash and Pikachu travel, but see Iris is not with them. They encounter Pidove, so Ash wants to catch it. Pikachu electrocutes one, but this causes the other Pidove to attack. The Pidove recovers and flies away with the others.

Ash knows it is not easy, but sees another Pidove. Pikachu uses Quick Attack and Iron Tail on Pidove, knocking it out. Ash throws his Poké Ball, but Pidove comes out and uses Gust on Pikachu, followed by Quick Attack and Air Cutter. Pidove uses Quick Attack, but Pikachu dodges and uses Thunderbolt. Ash throws the Poké Ball and catches Pidove, making him excited. After celebrating, Iris and Axew return, who are not impressed about Ash catching Pidove. However, Ash thinks it will be his new friend, plus it is his first Unova Pokémon. Suddenly, Axew and Pikachu get captured by Team Rocket, who throws them in a glass box. Iris sees that is a talking Meowth, who tells he is genius to know how to talk. Ash sends Pidove. Meowth goes to use Fury Swipes, but gets blown away by Gust.

Jessie sends a Woobat, who uses Air Slash. Pidove avoids it and uses Quick Attack, but gets hit by Gust. Pidove is defeated, so Jessie calls Woobat back. Team Rocket flies off in the balloon, so Ash climbs up on a tree and jumps to rescue Pikachu and Axew. However, he fails and falls down. Suddenly, an Oshawott appears and throws the shell, piercing Team Rocket's balloon and causing the cage to be shattered. Ash and Iris catch Axew and Pikachu, while Oshawott is pleased. Jessie sends Woobat, who uses Air Slash, hitting Pikachu and Axew. It goes to do so once more, but Oshawott uses Water Gun, stopping Woobat. Pikachu uses Volt Tackle, but James throws a smoke bomb, causing Team Rocket to disappear.

However, Pikachu and Axew faint, so Ash and Iris go to the Pokémon Center, though they thank Oshawott for the rescue. At the center, Pidove, Axew and Pikachu are healed, making Ash and Iris grateful. Joy admits it is rare to see Pikachu, so Ash tells her that he is from Kanto. Joy is pleased and lets Ash know the Pokémon Center is always available for healing. Iris admits even if Ash is still a kid, she is impressed by his will to save Pokémon. Ash is glad as well, but wonders why Oshawott helped them, as it watches them from outside the center.

  • The next episode preview shown at the end of the previous episode is narrated by Ash and Iris.
    • This preview was not shown on first airings due to being a one-hour special, where they usually skip the preview at the end of the first episode of the special and play the next episode right away. This preview can be seen however at the end of the previous episode on Amazon Prime, Hulu, DVD, and reruns such as on Kids Station.
  • Pikachu did not destroy a bike, unlike Misty, May, or Dawn, the previous female companions of Ash ending the gag of Pikachu doing so. However, it starts the gag of Pikachu shocking the main female character directly.
  • Alyson Leigh Rosenfeld takes over as the voice of Nurse Joy in the English version.
  • This episode marks the first appearance of the redesigned Nurse Joy.
  • Just like in the first episode when one of the Pokémon Ash thought was a Pidgey, he threw a rock and he was attacked by a flock of Spearow. Ash captures a Pidove, after they all attack Ash.

Mistakes

  • In the English dub, when Iris says, "Wasn't there a thunderstorm in Nuvema Town?", the English closed captions use the romanized Japanese name Kanoko Town.
