Ash and friends are heading towards the Battle Factory where Ash hopes to earn his first Frontier Symbol. A Cleffa emerges from the bushes and makes some friends with Ash and May's Pokémon. It also takes a liking to Misty's Azurill. During a Team Rocket attack, Misty, Max, Pikachu, Azurill, and Cleffa are sent over a cliff and into a river below. Ash, May, and Brock head out to look for them as Misty and Max try to find their way back to them. Now they must find each other before Team Rocket finds them so that they can capture Cleffa.moreless

Pretty good episode, it was great to see Misty. But it felt like there was no human emotion. All Ash seemed to care about was pikachu, and didn't show much emotion for his missing friends. The Max/Misty interation was sweet, but it would be more interesting to see how each character dealt with Misty being there. I didn't see the point in bringing her character back, just to take it away again. May perhaps showed the most emotion. It was a good episode, but lacked the deep relationships the characters should have by now. Ash seems in a pikachu focused world, i would have liked to have seen more with them two. It was good to see that Misty was still scared of bugs, and the storyline was pretty but, but sort of normal repetive pokemon style.moreless

At first when I saw the pictures for this episode I wasn't to amazed but after watching it I loved it! This episode is better than the last Mt. Moon episode (most likeyl due to Misty & May in the same episode!). This episode once again shows how much May cares for Max despite how she acts most of the time. The storyline wasn't that bad and the episode seemed rushed at points but otherwise it was a decent episode. One thing I don't like is how Misty holds Azurill! Did she forget Togepi already and wants to replace it after all those years! Anyway good episode but bad part: Misty leaves again!moreless

This episode felt like deja vu cause Misty was in it and we got to see mt. Moon again, also I like the fact that Team Rocket changed thier motto a little bit to make the show fresh again. The show animation has also improved which i love. Pokemon feels brand new again like the first time.
