Description:
One of the developmental factors of Jessie's evil nature is revealed in "Holiday Hi-Jynx," the first of three television episodes compiled in this volume. Long before her involvement with Team Rocket, Jessie was a little girl waiting for Santa Claus, when a red-garbed impostor Jynx showed up instead and stole her doll. Flash-forward a decade to when Jessie and company have tied up Santa, leaving Misty, Brock and Ash to rescue St. Nick and return his good Jynx pocket monster--the equivalent of an elf in the Pokémon world. The winter theme continues with "Snow Way Out," in which the gang gets stranded on a mountainside in a blizzard. When Pikachu gets swept away by a fierce wind, Ash is separated from his buddies for the night, saved only by his ingenuity and the fire from Charmander's flaming tail. Finally, in "Showdown at the Po-Ke Corral," Ash and friends return to his hometown for a trainer competition. There Ash is reunited with hometown rival Gary, a boy whose skill is matched only by his attitude. Ages 3 and older. --Kimberly Heinrichs
