The episode "Battle Aboard the St. Anne" has really made me wonder about James ... I think he needs therapy. Then again, he wouldn't be half as funny as he is if he were well-adjusted.

And of course, for you Pikachu fans, he and Raichu mix it up in "Electric Shock Showdown", the best episode on this DVD. Lt. Surge isn't letting our little yellow guy win easily, but as usual Pika's brains (not Ash's) save the day. (In this one, James and Jesse get weird again with their "Pika cheer". Disturbing yet funny. Maybe these two just didn't get enough love when they were children.)

The third episode, "Mystery At the Lighthouse", is eery and delightfully chilling.

This DVD belongs in every Poke fan's collection!

think Pokemon is cool? of course you do. well Electric Shock Showdown and Battle Aboard the St. Anne are some of the best. for true pokemon fans it was very exciting to see Pikachu vs. Raichu. Team Rocket begins to worry after the first match that pikachu lost, that Pikachu wasn't as valuable as they thought and should persue other villainess deeds, but in the end with an ability not known to Raichu, Pikachu, the underdog, comes out on top again. When Team Rocket henchmen try to capture a ship load of pokemon trainers' pokemon, the trainers join forces putting charmander with charmander and geodude with geodude to force Rocket off the ship but then a storm results in the evacuation and capsizing of the ship Ash must find and get back his first captured pokemon, butterfree, and James to get back a Majikarp he squanderd his and Jesse's money on,however the ship sinks with him and his friends trapped in side...

This is a great video.It has episodes Mystery at the lighthouse,Electric Shock Showdown and battle aboard the St.Anne.It is very interesting where Pikachu battles Raichu. (Iv'e got both on my gameboy both on experience level 71.)

I've never seen the movie it's self,but I saw it on Kids WB once and really liked it! Although Ash lost to Lt. surge at first later he figured out Lt. Surges Raichu never learned the evasive attacks(Agility and Double team)when it was still a Pikachu so Ash's Pikachu kept Dodging Raichu so Raichu eventually ran out of attacks and Ash's Pikachu quicky knocked it out!!! One of the funniest things about this episode was Team Rocket was constantly cheering Ash's Pikachu on because they knew if it could beat it's evolved form,Raichu it would be worth stealing(not that they ever could steal it)!

I have seen this movie and thought it was verry cool. Pikachu and Raichu are my favorite pokemon.(along with Mew.) I really enjoied watching pikachu and raichu battle their hardest against eachother.

I don't have a review, I have a question. As a grandparent of a 10 year old blind girl. Is it possible that someone could send me directions for this game? I would like to get it printed in braille for her. Thanks for your help..Judi Reed

Before Pokemon Advanced this was my favorite episode. It takes place when Ash and friends (Misty and Brock) finally reach a city. Misty wants to go to a bubblebath and Brock wants to see a navigator. But Ash zips off to the gym! Finally though his friends convivnce him that the pokemon center would be a better place to crash. Pikachu is all healed, eating an apple, seeming fine, but suddenly a pidgey and ratata are rushed into the emergency room. They had been seriously hurt by the gym leader's amazing pokemon!
Now pikachu is afraid, but they tres out the battle anyway. Ash chooses pikachu to face....raichu?! Afraid, pikachu dashes behind Ash's leg. But it is forced to battle anyway. Raichu merely absorbs pikachu's shocks and creams in it two moves-thundershock and thunder punch, then a totally not-needed body slam. Poor pikachu didn't even need the third attack; it was so hurt.
The only solution was to evolve pikachu into raichu, but the little yellow pokemon refused. It threw down the stone. There went their only hope....or was there another way?

I think the episode Mystery at the Lighthouse on the Thunder Shock video is my favorite because Ash catches a Krabby. Also in that episode they meet a Pokemaniac named Bill and he's looking for a Pokemon called Dragonite.It has amazing powers.It's very good and people will feel a little sad after they watch it.I hope you'll watch it. .

I'm typing for my daughter who loved this video. The cliffhanger ending aboard the St. Anne has us both wondering what's next? Does anyone know which video contains the continuation of this story?

I think this videos cool.I especially liked the part when James from team Rocket dressed up as a girl and kept on saying coooooooool.
