Description

This week we sort of find out what the man in the mask is doing in Ilex Forest. Though there is still plenty of mystery there. Then, in the Anime we meet another Pokemon that shares a description to a Golduck we met on the Orange Islands. A Pokemon version of Brock. And like Brock, he finds his romantic pursuits to be quite the challenge. We also get to add three more Pokemon to the Ash and Company's roster, we meet a Steel type Pokemon, and...SHINY!!!!

And after the episode we get to catch back up with Violet after having a couple week break thanks to the Ghost Story in Lavender Town. It's time to head down Route 3 to reach Mt. Moon again...but once again, obstacles present themselves.
