Pokémon: Gathering the Gang—Ash's Johto Squad!

In a forest that's being destroyed by rampaging Pinsir, Ash has to enlist the help of the local Heracross to protect their home! But it turns out these Pokémon look tougher than they act…

Still on the road to Violet City, Ash encounters a wild Chikorita and tries to catch it. Chikorita proves to be a tougher opponent than he originally thought, and things only get worse when Team Rocket arrives…

When Ash finds a Cyndaquil in the wild, he is eager to catch it...but you can bet he’s not the only one!

Ash and Misty’s rivalry is reignited when they both try to capture a Totodile at the same time. Unable to see whose Poké Ball actually caught it, they decide a battle is the best way to decide Totodile’s new Trainer.

Ash has his sights set on a rare Noctowl with unusual coloring, but this clever Pokémon repeatedly uses Hypnosis to get the better of him! Will Ash be able to catch this Noctowl napping?

The moment has finally come: a Phanpy has hatched from Ash's Pokémon Egg! The little Pokémon is full of energy and soon charging off...with our heroes and Team Rocket in tow!
