This week we have to meetups with members of the Elite Four. In the Manga we are finally introduced to Lance and his Dragonair and in the anime we meet the Ice Trainer Lorel---wait checks notes Prima? That's weird. Anyway, we in the Manga, where the Elite Four are villains, we learn their plan is to erase humans (except themselves) because most humans do not live in harmony with Pokemon and harm the environment. They even launch an attack against the cities of the Gym Trainers of Justice. But while they're busy doing that, it's time to launch an attack on their home base on Cerise Island. Can Blaine and Yellow be successful?
Then, in the anime we learn of an awesome Ship Captain ghost trainer, we see Meowth worshipped, Tracey catches a pokemon, and Ash finds he needs to relearn a lesson about connecting with his Pokemon. All the while, Ruby and Shea Locke spar a bit on the pronunciation of "Anime" and "Manga" which Shea should really not even attempt since he isn't even consistent in how to say "Route." Plus we update our Yellow Pokedex!
Then stay tuned to the end to hear the next part of Violet and Midori's adventure through Mt. Moon.
