Episode Summary

EDIT
The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon
AIRED:
Ash is personally invited to the lab of Dr. Yung to test out his new battle system. When arriving there he meets up with Misty and Professor Oak who were also invited. Dr. Yung appears and challenges both Misty and Ash to a battle. He easily defeats Misty, but his match with Ash is interrupted by a cloaked figure named Mirage Master. Mirage Master turns Dr. Yung’s experiments against him and captures him and Professor Oak! As Brock goes for help (and to get a date), Ash and Misty sneak into the castle to rescue the Professor while May and Max wait outside. However, Mirage Master seems strikingly familiar, is he possibly hiding something?moreless

  • everything in this episode was great except for the new voice actors.

    Everything in this episode was great except for the new voice actors. Ash sounded like the weird version of Max and Max sounded weird, may and Brock both sounded like a adult, Prof. Oak sounded like a old man gym leader what Ash was in the Johto region, Jessie and James sounded like Jessie and James imitators, Meowth sounded really raspy and Misty was the only one who sounded almost like she did before. I just hope they are going to get the original actors back for the next season of Pokemon instead of these or other voice actors. Other than the voice actor change the plot was great.moreless

    this episode will rock i mean, mirage pokemon, a new bad guy with a mirage mewtwo, also here comes mew to kick some butts, and finally misty comes back and who knows maybe even more of ash and misty romance.

    to sad that the voices changed, poor people who put their lives in those characters scence season 1.

    still its going to rock, with mew, mewtwo, a new bad guy this is going to be the best episode EVER.

    but still... the voices, well even even if they do sound like the other ones i think it just will no be the same.

    where are max and may?moreless

  • This was the worst thing I have ever seen!

    When I viewed this one fateful Saturday morning I had no idea what I would get. Do you remember the time you got a really crappy gift and just wanted to throw it into the nearest possible mine field and watch it explode? That's what I wanted to do. The voice actors which are the new ones in the ninth season by the way are just horrible! The story is one of the worst ever. I don't think Dr. Yung got up one morning and just said " I feel like inviting some kids over and trapping them in my evil plan to rule the world!" There is an upside to this episode though if you have enough patience to sit through it. The part where Mewtwo grows the heads and when mew saves the day by sacrificing itself were those parts. However I suggest you to not watch this and if you have well... you survived and you didn't do a Dr. Yung and go into a burning building never to come back.moreless

  • This special is really awful.

    The storyline was new and exciting. At first, I was excited to watch this special. When I heard the new voices for the characters, they sounded horrible! The voices gave me a headache and I swear I cringed when I heard the voices. I swear I needed ear plugs for this episode.



    The music was decent, but it needed improvement. The intro song when they showed the title was horrible. Some scenes lacked background music and I didn't like that. The background music helps set the mood and it keeps me interested. For the scenes with no background, I almost fell asleep watching them. This special is one of my least favorite episodes of Pokemon.moreless
