Friends & Rivals,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pokemon - Friends and Rivals (Vol. 26) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Okay, here's the inside scoop of this video. It's about Ash, Richie, & their Pokemon. In "A Friend In Need", we see how Ash first meets Richie & how he has a Pikachu just like Ash. Jessie makes an announcement that everyone must cash in their Pokeballs. Ash goes but is shocked to see Richie there. Jessie sees Pikachu & takes it. James accidently says Jessie & Ash & Richie find out it's Team Rocket that is causing all this. They chase after Team Rocket & get the Pokemon back. There's even more bad news when Ash's next opponent in the Pokemon League is Richie. In "Friend & Foe Alike", Ash thinks about the next battle when Misty calls him about something on the computer about Richie. She says Richie has won all 4 rounds with only 3 Pokemon: Pikachu, Butterfree, & Charmander.(Didn't Ash use to have a Charmander & a Butterfree?) Brock then says Ash's in trouble & Ash says he's a better trainer than Richie. Team Rocket find out about Ash & Richie's friendship & decide to use a cardboard cutout of Richie to call Ash & tell him something about Pikachu. Ash falls for it, something he shouldn't have done, & the fake Richie is revealed as Jessie, as she, Meowth, & James do their motto. They trap Ash in a net & kidnap him. Meanwhile, Misty & Brock worry about Ash & Brock says the match starts in an hour. Meanwhile, Team Rocket notices the truck is flooding, but it's only Squirtle's Water Gun, which was commanded by, you guessed it, Ash. At the stadium, the people wonder where Ash is. Richie wants to wait for Ash, saying Ash made a promise to him. They agree to wait 10 minutes more. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is still chasing Ash. Ash then sends out Bulbasaur, who uses Vine Whip. Jessie says he'll need more than Bulbasaur, however. That wish comes true as Pikachu uses Thunderbolt. Team Rocket doesn't quit, however, & uses bicycles. James then sends out Weezing, who uses Smog. Team Rocket makes Ash choose whether to give up Pikachu or miss the match against Richie. He then steals their bikes(just like he did with Misty's.) But Team Rocket is in the Meowth Ballon & makes Ash give the bikes back. Ash then sends out Pidgeotto & Pikachu & they send Team Rocket flying &, as usual, they blast off. Ash commands Pidgeotto to fly him & Pikachu to the stadium. Richie still waits for Ash & is about to give up when suddenly, Ash shows up. He & Richie battle, but Ash ends up being the loser thanks to your friend & mine, Charizard. Why did Ash send out Charizard in the first place? Anyway, in "Friends To The End", Ash lies in bed, very upset about his loss to Richie. Misty, Professor Oak, Mrs. Ketchum, & Brock are all sitting in a room talking about Ash when Misty volunteers to cheer Ash up. They end up fighting when Brock & Mrs. Ketchum come in, saying Ash shouldn't snap at Misty because she thinks he should be happy. They fight again when Professor Oak comes in & says he could've won if he'd trained Charizard the right way. Misty calls Ash lazy & they fight again(& I MEAN AGAIN)when Pikachu uses his Thunderbolt. Then, they see Richie on TV & Misty, Brock, & Ash go to Richie's next competition, which Richie loses. Ash & Richie are sitting in a park nearby, talking about the competition. Their Pikachu are playing nicely.(Isn't that sweet?) Just then, Team Rocket notices the Pikachu & trap them in a cage. They also trap Ash & Richie underground. But they escape thanks to Ash's Pidgeotto & Richie's Butterfree. Even though Jessie isn't Weezing's master, she commands him to use Smokescreen, but it fails. Ash then picks up the cage & throws it at Team Rocket. He also commands Squirtle to use Water Gun & it works, causing Team Rocket to, as usual, blast off. Ash & Richie celebrate. Then, all the Pokemon League participants, including Richie & Ash, watch the fireworks because the Pokemon League is over. Richie then says goodbye to Ash & tells him to train hard. Then, Misty, Pikachu, Mrs. Ketchum, Brock, & Professor Oak congrualate Ash for doing a great job. Well, that's it. That's the review.

The end for the Indigo League,
By
This review is from: Pokemon - Friends and Rivals (Vol. 26) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Three five star episodes round out this, the last video for the Indigo League series. First, in "A Friend In Deed", Ash meets Richie, a fellow Pokemon trainer, and they both team up when Team Rocket manages to shanghi all the Pokemon in the competition! Ash and Richie save the Pokemon (of course), and become good friends, only to discover that they will be facing each other in the fifth round! In "Friend and Foe Alike", Ash and Richie promise to make their battle the greatest ever, but Team Rocket has other plans. They capture Ash to prevent him from taking part in the fifth round, but thanks to Ash's Pokemon, he gets away and makes it to the stadium just in time! Ash and Richie battle each other, but in the end, Richie comes out the winner. In "Friends To The End", Ash is depressed about losing to Richie, but Richie also loses in the sixth round. After listening to Richie talk about how he can learn from losing, Ash decides that he's been acting like a baby and as the Pokemon League ceremonies come to a close, he decides that he will train even harder! A perfect end for the Indigo Series!

This review is from: Pokemon - Friends and Rivals (Vol. 26) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is the second half of the Pokémon League, and is sadly lacking when compared to the first. The majority of the volume relates to Ash's new friend Ritchie, with a copious amount of the battle episode devoted to another of Team Rocket's formulaic plots, resulting in a shortened battle. Plus, the following episode's 6 on 6 match is truncated for yet another Team Rocket scheme.
Friends and Rivals contains the following episodes: A Friend in Deed Friend and Foe Alike Friends to the End Sadly this does not live up to the hype set up by the previous volume (Pokemon - Round One (Vol. 25) [VHS]). If you're looking for good battles rather than story, buy that instead. This is worth getting, as it does contain the conclusion to the Pokémon League, but it's far from the best this series has to offer. If you're only looking for the best volumes, you might want to skip this one.
