Summary: A very good video, a nice story and a lot of cute Pokemon!
Review: When I first saw this video, first thing I noticed was that Misty didn't want to go to Cerulean City. This does make sense in the end when she ends up reunited with her sisters even though she swore never to come back. the animation is cool, and the theme song is NOT boring. I'd say it is my fave video at the moment.

Summary: Still good.
Review: Yep, our "hero" Ash finally reaches Cerulean City, where he'll fight the local master for his badge. And this time, he's all alone. Misty left for no reason, and Brock had some "stuff" *cough* to do. Turns out the local master is 3 girls named Rose, Lily and Violet. And another shock. They're Misty's sisters. Gary has already been here and won a badge, and the pokemon are all exhausted, so they decided to just give Ash the badge. Misty doesn't want any of that, though, and challenges Ash herself. After a while, the battle is interrupted by Jessie and James, who have come to steal all the pokemon in the gym. Pikachu stops them by jumping into their soaked machine and shocking it till it explodes. And, since Ash wuld've easily won if he had used Pikachu, Misty's sisters give him the badge. Misty doesn't really agree, though.
So, following the game, they're on their way to Bill's cabin, eh? Or maybe they just go directly to the next town? Nope, the writers didn't want the show to end taht fast, so we get some feared filler episodes. Don't worry, this is good filler. Enjoy it while it lasts, cause in a few seasons, you'll hate filler with a passion. First off, Ash is informed about an unofficial gym nearby, where the savage pokemon master AJ lives. AJ doesn't want to start his pokemon journey until he's won 100 matches in a row, and is now up to 98. AJ is also one of the best trainers out there, and his Sandshrew easily defeat all of Ash's pokemon. Ash is a bad loser, and claims AJ was cheating. And later, he critizeses his training methods. Look, Ash, this guy's a lot better than you, so just shut up, okay? Jessie and James show up again and try to steal Pikachu, but accidentally steal Sandshrew instead. Sandshrew beat them up, and runs back. So, they go back to get Pikachu. AJ defeat their pokemon without any problem, and get his 100th win. Then he leaves for his journey.
Later, Ash still can't mind his own business, and critizeses Gizelle, the leader of a student program on Pokemon Tech, a school where you can study pokemon. Pass the exam, and you can enter the pokemon league without badges. And training, obviously, so I doubt you'd get very far. Anyway, Gizelle has a pretty special training system, and to prove her greatness, she challenges Ash. And loses. That makes her realize that her system isn't really that good, and that the school doesn't really teach you much useful stuff. J&J show up, and get defeated when the entire school gang up on them, and Ash continues his journey.So, my opinion, eh? 3 pretty solid episodes. As much as I hate filler, I have to say that these were actually good. I didn't expect AJ to defeat Ash, but I'm glad he did. He was better, and whatever stupid plot device the riters would've come up with, I'm sure I wouldnt've liked it. Add in a couple've good battles, a gym leader episode, and some good plot, and you got a pretty decent pack. Not worth a 5 star, but still good.
