This episode we see Manga Pika take on his own Adventures in Babysitting just like his counterpart in the anime. Only this one is with Caterpie. Here we also have Blue not only teach Yellow how to battle but how to actually catch a pokemon. There's also discussion on where the evolution stones come from and we take ourselves back to the March of the Exeggutor Squad episode of the anime.
Then, in the anime, we find another episode with Jynx and a lot more talking pokemon. We say goodbye to one of our favorite pokemon characters (Psyduck), we meet a buff Joy and her giant Magikarp, Ash takes on another Orange Island gym, and then he catches himself a new pokemon again....finally.
Shea Locke also finished out his Pokedex (excluding that elusive mythical) and so we wrap up the Red and Bkue Pokedex entries.
Finally, at the end of the episode, we catch up with Violet in her battle against the youngster she met in Mt. Moon.
