Episode 19 - "The Ghost of Maiden's Peak"

Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu are riding on the ferry while Team Rocket are riding in a

barrel tied to the ferry. Brock is heart-broken because the summer is almost over and he

hasn't found a girl yet. The gang manage to get to Maiden's Peak just in time for the

festival. Our heroes get off the ferry and Brock sees a beautiful girl in the distance. Team

Rocket get off from the barrel and James sees the beautiful girl also. Suddenly, Brock

comes across an old woman who prophesizes that a beautiful girl will be the cause of

something bad happening to Brock.

Later on, Team Rocket and Ash's gang head into the festival. All day, Brock can't stop

thinking about the girl, while Jesse and James search the ground for any loose change.

James find a penny as and old woman appears out of nowhere and tells James the same thing

she told Brock. Later the day at the festival, lots of people attend to the unveiling of a

painting that the shrine had kept for so long. The pictures shows the girl that Brock and

James had saw earlier. The host says that the painting shows the picture of a girl who had

once lived over 2000 years ago as she waited for her warrior who had never come back. The

story goes that the girl waited so long that she turned into stone. Brock and James

immediately fall in love with the girl. Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu head over to Maiden's

Peak to get a closer look at it. Ash, Misty and Pikachu turn to head to the Pokémon Centre

since it was near curfew time. Brock decides to stay a little longer and says he'll be back

but he doesn't.

Ash and Misty go back to the shrine to find Brock, but instead find Jesse and Meowth who

are looking for James at the same time. As they met, Jesse starts her Team Rocket motto

but is interrupted when James and Brock fall out through the shrine's doors, gibbering

madly about being in love with the girl. The old woman appears again, saying it's girl's ghost

who lures lonely men away and drains them of their life. Pikachu electrifies James and Brock

to get them thinking normally. James starts getting freaked out, but Brock doesn't seem to

change much. The old woman told them that the only way to keep the girl's ghost from getting

anywhere near them is to cover Brock, James and the shrine with anti-ghost stickers, which

she happens to sell. Ash and the other start sticking the stickers everywhere. They wait

inside the sticker-covered shrine to see what happens.

At night, a strong wind blows the stickers off the shrine, opens the doors and blows the

stickers off Brock. The ghostly girl appears and takes Brock and James out of the shrine.

James manages to hang on to a bar to keep himself from flying away but he loses his grip.

The ghost begins to take Brock and James off the cliff.

Ash and Misty pull Brock behind the handrail, even though Brock tried to protest, while Jesse

blasts the girl with a bazooka. This causes James to fall into the ocean. He climbs back up

the cliff and the girl's ghost summons a

swarm of ghostly skulls. The skulls don't register on the Pokédex, but a chance flinch causes

the Pokédex to identify the ghostly girl as Ghastly, an orb-shaped ghost Pokémon with

hypnotic powers.

Ghastly's cover is blown. Ghastly reveals that he not only disguise himself as the maiden,

but also as the old woman as well. Ash sends in Pikachu to attack Ghastly, but ghost's hypnotic

powers make him think he's being chased by a giant mouse trap! Meowth goes for it, but is

hypnotized into believing he's playing with a kitty-ball. Jesse binds Ghastly with Ekans, but

the snake is scared off by a giant mongoose. James shakily calls upon Koffing's poison gas

attack, but is instead stomped by a mongoose wearing a gas mask. Ash tries his luck with

Bulbasaur and Squirtle, teamed-up, but the ghost frightens them with a Venustoise (the

combination of a Venusaur and a Blastoise...yikes!) Misty thinks she has the answer of getting

rid of Ghastly, as she holds out a holy cross, garlic, and wooden stakes. She's obviously

confused Ghastly with a vampire. As dawn nears, the sun comes up and Ghastly disappears,

screeching from the light. That night, everyone puts on Japanese robes and dances to the

beat of huge drums playing by Team Rocket, who looks like they're enjoying themselves. Ash

and Misty start dancing as Pikachu sang. Also, the REAL maiden's ghost thanks Ghastly for

his help, and Ghastly was glad to help out ('cause he got paid for selling the stickers)

Episode 20 - "Bye, Bye Butterfree"

Along the way to Saffron City, Ash and friends come to a cliff at the ocean. There they

find flocks of Butterfree during their love season. This is the time of year when the

Butterfree find mates and leave across the ocean to lay eggs. Ash and pals rent a hot-air

balloon to see the Butterfree up close and release Ash's Butterfree so it too can find a

mate. Butterfree is pretty much rejected by every female he meets (poor Butterfree).

Other Butterfree trainers also hope into their hot air balloons to release their Butterfrees

and Brock sees a pretty female trainer in another balloon. He tries to hook up Butterfree

with the girl's Butterfree (so he could meet the trainer, of course), but Misty whacks him

upside the head, saying that he shouldn't tell which Pokémon Butterfree should go for.

It was not long after when Butterfree then falls for a pretty pink Butterfree.

Butterfree tries his courtship dance to get her interested, but the pink Butterfree just

rejects him. Heartbroken, Butterfree heads down into the forest with Ash and the gang

following him down. They find Butterfree behind a tree and tell him

to not give up. Misty suggests showing off his attack moves. Brock thinks a new look might

help, so he ties a bandana around Butterfree's neck (it looked really cute). Butterfree and

his friends go back up to the sky once more. Butterfree shows the pink Butterfree his flying

tackle, his stun spore shower, and his whirlwind attack, but she still ignores him anyway. Like

always, Team Rocket shows up in a

black helicopter and starts stealing all the Butterfrees in the sky with a giant butterfly net.

All of the Butterfrees, except Ash's, are caught in the net. Butterfree's attacks against the

helicopter are useless, so Butterfree follows the chopper and leads Ash and the bunch in the

balloon to Team Rocket's secret bunker down in some valley.

Team Rocket is pretty proud and relieved that their plan had actually worked but then Ash

and his friends show up with their own version of the Team Rocket motto. While Misty's

Starmie keeps Team Rocket busy, Butterfree manages releases his fluttery friends. Jesse

bashes Starmie with a sledgehammer and

Team Rocket chases the Butterfrees down in the helicopter again. Butterfree takes Pikachu

to Team Rocket's chopper and Pikachu blasts them out of the sky. In the end, Ash and

Butterfree say goodbye with an emotion moment, thinking of all the wonderful times they've

had together. Butterfree and the pink Butterfree flutter into the sunset as Ash and his

friends look from far behind....

POKEMON EPISODE GUIDE

EPISODES 21-30

Episode 21 - "Abra and the Psychic Showdown"

Ash and friends get lost on the way to Saffron City, as usual. Along their way find a girl in

the woods who runs off when asked they for directions. Ash decides to run after her, but

nearly falls off a cliff instead, when Bulbasaur uses his vine-whip. The cliff over-looks

Saffron City, which looks more like a city than the other cities in the previous episodes. As

Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu enter the city entrance, they're greeted by some Hawaiian

girls (who are actually Team Rocket) and are told that they're the one-millionth visitor to the

city. Their prize isn't't so glamorous, Pikachu gets snatched away from them and while being

shoved onto a warp tile that takes them to a windowless and doorless room. Team Rocket

mocks Ash and company through TV when the signal suddenly cuts out. In the control room,

the girl from the forest appears, and paralyzes James and Jesse. The girl then teleports

with Pikachu to the windowless room and then teleports everyone back outside.

Ash and his friends manage to find their way to the gum. Out of nowhere, a jogger warns

Ash to forget about challenging Sabrina, the Gym Leader because it is too dangerous. Still

determined to beat the Gym leader, Ash enters the temple-looking gym where they find

many people praticing some of their psychic powers. A man in a surgical mask tells them that

psychokinetic powers are necessary to control psychic Pokémon, and starts to bend a spoon

with the powers of his mind. After, he tells Ash he is not worthy of challenging Sabrina since

Ash lacked any psychic powers. Ash bends the spoon with his hands and demands to see

Sabrina immediately. When Ash and the gang reach the arena, they see through a

see-through curtain to see the girl from the forest. She will only accept Ash's challenge

under one condition: If Ash loses, he and his friends must be her friends and play with her.

Thinking this is just a mere little girl's request, Ash accepts and discovers the girl is actually

a doll controlled by the psychic powers of Sabrina, the teenaged gym leader.

And so, Ash calls upon Pikachu to battle. Sabrina summons Abra (a psychic pokémon that

sleeps a lot), which just snoozes while Pikachu hops around, taunting it. Pikachu attempts to

open with the Thundershock attack, but

Abra's psychic powers cause the electricity to go back on Pikachu, shocking Pikachu. Pikachu

attempts a quick attack, but Abra teleports behind him and Sabrina evolves it into the

spoon-wielding Kadabra. Ash commands Pikachu to fill the arena with lightning, but Kadabra

manages to make the lightning turn at Pikachu. Pikachu takes the hit pretty badly, but it gets

worse as Kadabra's psychokinetic powers kept slamming Pikachu against the ceiling and floor.

Not long after, Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu are shrunk down to doll size and teleported

into a town made of dollhouses.

It takes Ash a while to figure out that he's actually a doll and Ash's gang find themselves

chased down the street by Sabrina's dolly. The street is block by a picture in a frames and

the doll rolls a gigantic ball to them that would surely crush them if something doesn't save

them. Something in the form of the mysterious

jogger saves them, as he teleports into the doll town, teleports everyone out and back to

normal size outside the gym. The jogger tells Ash not to challenge Sabrina again because he

won't be able to save them next time and no one without psychic powers could beat her. Ash

says that all they need to do is attack faster and the jogger uses his psychic powers to cause

Ash's pants to fall down and make him do a little dance. Seeing the jogger's point, Ash asks

him to teach him psychic powers. The jogger says that usually only people born with the

powers can learn them. I forget why, but for some reason Ash tries to get near the jogger,

but he's blasted back with psychokinetic force. It'll take more than guts to defeat Sabrina

explains Jogger, but Ash crawls his way to Jogger's foot. Jogger thinks he just might have

what it takes "to save Sabrina" (whatever that meant...) and tells Ash the only Pokémon

capable of beating a psychic is a ghost Pokémon that can be found in Lavender Town. Ash and

friends then head straight for Lavender Town, while Jesse and James are still paralyzed

and Meowth drags them along

Episode 22 - "Tower of Terror"

Taking the advice of the mysterious jogger, Ash and friends head for Lavender Town.

Along the fog-shrouded way, Ash scares Brock and Misty with a mask. Ash thinks that they

need to overcome fear if they're to catch a ghost Pokémon and beat Sabrina, but Brock and

Misty are less than appreciative. They eventually get to Lavender Town and the haunted

Pokémon Tower, but no one is willing to go inside. Meanwhile, inside the tower, Team Rocket

awaits with a plan to catch Pikachu. James falls through the floor and is followed by Meowth

when he slashes Jesse's face trying to defend himself from a Ghastly surrounding her head.

Jesse doesn't see it until she looks in a mirror, panics, and falls through the hole in floor.

Team Rocket then falls through a few more floors into the basement.

Ash and company finally muster up enough courage to enter the tower. The door closes

behind them, sending them into complete darkness. Charmander lights a candle (and Brock,

who was holding it) and the five of them eventually find themselves in the dining room. Ash

pulls a rope labeled "Pull me" and they get showered with confetti and big sign that reads

"Welcome". Dinnerware and chairs fly all over the place and Team Ash beats a hasty retreat

outside. Ash bravely (or stupidly) marches back inside while Brock and Misty wait outside.

Hearing sounds coming through a hole in the floor, Ash has Pikachu send down a lightning blast

and Charmander let loose with a fire blast. He tosses down a Pokéball which hits a toasted

Jesse in the face. Jesse swears revenge and Meowth points out that her

hair is on fire.

As Ash just stared down at what seemed like a twirling fireball, Haunter (Ghastly's

second stage of evolution) sneaks up behind Ash and startles him. Ash has Charmander leer

at Haunter and the two get into a staring match. Charmander makes a face, Haunter bursts

out laughing and licks Charmander, which really freaks him out. Ash puts the lizard back into

its ball and Gengar (third-stage Ghastly) appears, whaps Ash with a huge paper fan, and

procedes to whap Haunter vigorously. After a while, Ash realizes that they're trying to be

funny. He tells the ghosts they aren't and they sink into the floor. Then a chandalier falls on

Ash and Pikachu, knocking them out cold. Ghastly, Haunter and Gengar check to see if they're

OK, then Haunter separates Ash and Pikachu's spirits from there bodies. Ash and Pikachu

panic, then the three ghost Pokémon take them on a trip through the sky.

Ash sees Misty and Brock and decides to have some fun with them. Misty thinks she heard

something, then Ash lifts her up into the air and drops her. Brock catches her then the two of

them go inside to check on Ash. The ghostly trio take Ash and Pikachu into an enormous play

room and Ash figures out that the ghosts just want to have fun, not scare people. Ash

explains he has to now and, after a good cry, the ghosts put Ash and Pikachu back into their

bodies. Misty and Brock are glad to

see their friends are OK, and the four of them leave the tower. Ash explains he could never

catch the ghost Pokémon, then Haunter appears and scares off Brock and Misty, and Ash

finds himself with a new friend with Haunter.

Episode 23 - "Haunter vs. Kadabra"

With Haunter at his side, Ash, Brock and Misty return to Saffron City. Before entering the

gym, Ash releases Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charmander and entire group storms their way

into the arena. Sabrina calls out her Kadabra but when Ash calls for Haunter, he's gone

missing. Panicing like crazy, Ash calls it quits and everyone makes a break for it. The exits

are sealed, but the mysterious jogger rescues everyone except Brock and Misty who got

turned into dolls.

Outside the gym, the jogger tells Ash about Sabrina's past. As a little girl all Sabrina

wanted to do was practice her pyschic powers. She didn't even want to make friends. Her

parents tried to curb her powers, but Sabrina used her psychic powers to turn them away.

Eventually, her powers split her into two people: the emotionless pokémon trainer who'll stop

at nothing to win, and the doll who tries

her hardest to make friends. Seeing that the jogger has the same picture as the one blocking

the street in episode 20, Ash makes a connection. Most people would make the connection

that the jogger was Sabrina's dad, but Ash thinks he's a photographer (he's wrong, of

course). But that doesn't matter, as Ash must find Haunter again if he's ever to defeat

Sabrina.

Not known to Ash as he walks about town, Team Rocket is waiting on a window-cleaning

platform above him. Their apparently most ingenious plan ever: to catch Pikachu in a fish net!

(hehe) Haunter appears and starts freaking them out, as they topple off the platform. Jesse

hangs to the platform on for dear life (while James hangs on her and Meowth hangs on him)

as Haunter goofs off in front of her. Finally, she can't hold her laughter in much longer. She

bursts out laughing and

they leave Team Rocket-shaped holes in the sidewalk. Ash realizes Haunter just saved

Pikachu then makes him promise not to dissapear like that again until he defeats Sabrina's

Kadabra.

Ash, Pikachu, and Haunter head back to the Gym to challenge Sabrina. The stakes: If Ash

wins, Sabrina turns Brock and Misty back into humans. If he loses, Ash and all his Pokémon

get turned into dolls! Sabrina sends in Kadabra, but Haunter has disappeared again! Pikachu

bravely dives into the fray with several thundershock
