There are three fun and good episodes in this movie(duh!).
"The Superhero Secret" is the first episode. This episode is about a superhero called Gligarman and the store manager of the Gligarman store shows Ash, Misty and Brock the history of Gligarman. Then the store manager tells Ash, Misty and Brock that he is Gligarman! He has a pokemon called Gligar the Scorpio pokemon! Then Team Rocket comes and has a Machine built Spinarak!
Will the pokemon defeat Team Rocket this time?
"Mild and Wooly" is about a valley girl and a mom who has a lot of Mareep. There is a baby Mareep in this story. Then Team Rocket comes and wants to steal the Mareep but Ash and Friends use a mainframe to power up the baby Mareep and the Mareep uses Thundershock and blasts Team Rocket!
And "Wired For Battle" is the last episode which is about a boy named Shingo who has a Scizor which is the evolved form of Scyther but cooler looking. Shingo is so hooked into his laptop and cares about the pokemon's stats instead of their feelings. Shingo's teacher at the dojo tells Ash and co. about Shingo. Ash desides to battle Shingo in a match. Ash beats Shingo with Heracross and that shows Shingo that laptops aren't perfect in battle and that he should consider his pokemon's feelings.
I hope you enjoy this video when it comes out. And I hope you find my review helpful(o^_^o).

There are three episodes on this DVD; they are:

"The Superhero Secret" Ash and his friends fall into a trap set by Team Rocket, causing Togepi to be in danger. Luckily for them, Togepi is saved by a superhero who called himself Gligar and his pokemon, a gligar. Later Ash and co. find out who he is and settles an argument between father and daughter.

"Mild 'n Wooly" Ash and friends meet a young girl with a mareep called Fluffy. Along with her mother, who happened to own a raichu, they foil another one of Team Rocket's plans to capture all the mareep that they own.

"Wired for Battle" Ash and friends meet Mr. Morramasa, who owns a Scizor, and runs a training school for pokemon trainers and their pokemon. Ash challenges Shingo, Mr. Morramasa's top student, who thinks that his computer is more important than pokemon. Ash beats him with his heracross, and Shingo realizes that his computer isn't everything.
This is my favorite episode on this DVD, probably because Ash and Shingo has a very long pokemon battle.

Even though Nintendo Power is no longer selling the Pokemon comics anymore, I'm goin' to love this volume just like you told me. They contain the following:

"The Superhero Secret", featuring Gligar, a scorpion pokemon that knows how to glide like Superman. Way cool! But that's not all, Team Rocket also creates the hilariously bizzare mechanical Spinarak. That's even better than ever!

"Mild 'n Wooly" featuring Mareep, the sweetest electric-type sheep pokemon that must have a bunch of other Mareep join up to power this baby up, and blast the silver mainframe wide open! Kaboom! The type of electricity he uses is amps, not volts, to get the job done.

And "Wired For Battle" featuring Scizor, the evloved form of Scyther, but looks even better! This episode is much like the Digimon Movie where Tai hooks up to the Internet, just like us.

The reason why I'm goin' to love this ultimate volume is because of the following:

1. The episode "The Superhero Secret" reminds of the television series, "Superman".

2. The episode "Mild 'n Wooly" reminds me of having a barnyard full of that type of pokemon, is it?

3. The episode "Wired For Battle" is much like the Digimon Movie, but much better!

Once again, thank you for your cooperation on what to rank. Good luck to all pokemon trainers out there. Enjoy the Internet if you can. For volume numbers 9 and 10, I'll see ya in November 2001.

This review does not reflect the product itself. Rather, it reflects the people who sell the product.

Now, the Johto Journeys is a great season of Pokemon. But because Viz Media won't take a hint, they ignore fan requests to re-release box sets of this season or any season after the Orange islands and prior to Battle Frontier. That means all of Johto and all of Hoenn are left without current box sets. The last Johto season and the first Hoenn season both have box sets, but they're out of print. Their excuse? "Fans aren't interested in box sets." Wrong. Fans are always reporting that they want box sets and that they send Viz fan mail all the time about it. Not to mention Viz is always releasing Diamond and Pearl seasons in the form of box sets. I've contacted the companies behind Pokemon several times about this and they refused to even try to help me. This just proves that customer service no longer exists.

So, we're forced to hunt down these individual volumes for the third season episodes. The funny thing is, these volumes don't even cover the whole third season. Pokemon went into a brief hiatus sometime in summer 2001, so the final two episodes of this season were delayed. And even after they were broadcast, Viz didn't release them on VHS or DVD because the standard number of episodes per volume is three, which had worked perfectly until now. I guess they didn't want a volume with just two episodes. So "The Psychic Sidekicks" and "The Fortune Hunters" were never released on VHS or DVD in the USA.

Now, to the most important part of my review: the sellers are kidding themselves. I understand these disks are out of print. But selling a used copy for a minimum of 99 dollars? That's the craziest, not to mention dumbest, idea I've ever heard. Do they honestly think they're going to sell anything? One disk containing three episodes of a children's show is not worth $100, or anything close to it. Especially when you consider that the original price of these DVDs back in 2001-2002 was $15. I've even seen sites that say "List Price: $14.99. Our Price: $250.00." I think I chuckled out loud when I read that! I also feel forced to add that the exact same volumes on VHS are being sold online for as low as $1.99 in some places. Your best bet to get these volumes on DVD for a good price is to find them at garage sales, which is all up to chance.

Do yourself a favor: don't buy from these sellers. Considering how expensive these DVDs can be and how many volumes there are, it'd be cheaper to pirate copies and pay a fine for it. But please, don't do that either.
