Pokemon 4: Advanced - Stairway to Devon

Rating:
Summary: Two gym matches and two exciting encounters with Team Aqua
Review: This DVD contains five great episodes. Like the other Pokemon Advanced DVDs, the last two will not be included on VHS, so buy the DVD.

Winner by a Nosepass! - Roxanne is finally ready to receive Ash's challenge, and the two prepare for battle. Unfortunately, Ash knows that Pikachu's Iron Tail attack is still unpredictable, and they'll need it to win. Can Pikachu master the attack in time?

Stairway to Devon - With the gym battle finished, Ash and co have time relax in Rustboro a little. The ferry to the next town, Dewford Town, won't leave for a while, so the four of them have some time to relax and do a little sightseeing - and in May's case, shopping! But Max does anything but relax. He accidentally broke the Pokenav, and is worried about what May would say if she found out. That's when he meets Mr. Stone, president of Devon Corporation. Mr. Stone gives Max a little tour of the company and fixes the Pokenav. However, the two soon find out that a member of the mysterious Team Aqua is about to steal some capsules containing ancient Pokemon DNA. Can Mr. Stone and Max stop the thief?

On a Wingull and a Prayer - Due to a mistake of May's, using a ten-year-old map, Ash and co end up on the wrong side of town and are late for the ferry. May sets off to find someone who can take them to Dewford Island, and meets Mr. Briney and his Wingull, Peeko. Then, they find out that he and Peeko are in danger: Team Aqua wants his boat as well, and holds Peeko hostage! Can Ash and his friends stop Team Aqua and save Peeko?

Sharpedo Attack!! - Ash, Brock, May, and Max are being ferried to Dewford Island by Mr. Briney, and they stop at an island to take a swim. Unfortunately, a school of Sharpedo has taken up residence there, and the group is trapped! Can they outwit the Sharpedo?

Brave the Wave - Ash finally meets the gym leader of Dewford Town, Brawly. He's enraged when he finds that Brawly is taking the day off from the gym to do nothing more important than surf. Finally, Ash convinces him to battle. But is Brawly a stronger gym leader than Ash thinks he is?

This is a great DVD, containing two gym battles and a couple of encounters with Team Aqua. It also kicks off a small series of episodes set in Dewford Island. It definately deserves five stars.
