  • Lake Rage and the Red Gyarados!

    It's about time Team Rocket action is involved in this story! This episode really reminds me of the similar plots followed in the GSC Games, where Team Rocket sends out a strange signal that allows Magikarp to forcefully evolve into Gyarados. Not only it's affected to Gyarados, but all Pokemon as well! That's what I call sheer brilliance from true Team Rocket members. Since the Red Gyarados is held captive, I'm too eager to see what'll happen!moreless
