Description:

The kids and their pet monsters have forsaken the city for the countryside in this trio of episodes from the animated TV series. First they stumble into a booby-trapped Ninja mansion in "The Ninja Poké-Showdown." The head Ninja challenges Ash to a "two-on-two" Pokémon battle, which introduces two forms of the insect monster Veronat. For a little dash of culture, evildoers Team Rocket appear in kabuki garb. Then it's on to the Pokémon preserve in "The Flame Pokémon-Athon!" in which cowgirl Lara (complete with Southernish accent) trains her protected Pokémon for the big annual race. Finally, in "The Kangaskhan Kid," Ash, Misty, and Brock help reunite a little Tarzan twin who lives in the wild with a pack of kangaroo-like Pokémon with his father, who accidentally dropped him from an airplane when he was three, and his mother, who, curiously, appears not to resent her husband's carelessness. This 75-minute tape will appeal to Pokémon fans of all ages; however, parents concerned about the fighting may want to wait until their tots are preschool-age to introduce them to the phenom that is Pokémon. --Kimberly Heinrichs
