At last, Ash has earned his Marsh Badge! After overcoming a few Primape Problems, he also has a new Pokemon under his belt. But he's still falling behind the other trainer hopefuls. So Ash, Misty, and Brock hit the road once again on their quest to defeat and capture more Pokemon. This time, their journey leads to the Fighting Spirit Gym, where our gang pits their fighters against such nasties as Machop, Hitmonlee, and Hitmonchan. The kids even manage to enlighten an overworked trainer who's been neglecting his family. Next they travel to Gringy City, a dank, smelly town on the verge of disaster. Thanks to Pikachu's magnetism, the town is restored and Ash collects a rather stinky reward. Finally, lost somewhere in the mountains, the trio solves a mystery involving a band of molelike Diglett and the dam project the little diggers keep thwarting. This standard sampling of Pokemon fare includes all the split-screen action, vibrant--sometimes psychedelic--animation, and nicely paced story lines of its other TV episode collections. A little slapstick humor provided by Team Rocket amuses the 5-year-old crowd, and we hope the "morals" of each 25-minute story (such as, "When you do a little digging you can always find something good") are not lost on the equally enraptured 10-year-olds. --Liane Thomas
Description
When Team Rocket steals a Hitmonlee and enters the Fighting Pokemon Tournament, it will be up to Ash, Primeape, and Pikachu to fight for justice against their sticky tricks! Later, a Magemite thinks that love is the best medicine for Pikachu's electric flu. Will Pikachu agree? Finally, Pokemon trainers are recruited to capture the Digletts that keep wrecking a dam, including Ash's rival Gary! Will we see a showdown between trainers, or will the Digletts win in the end?

This is another great video! If you "Gotta Catch 'Em All" Catch this! Ash takes his Primeape to the Pokemon Fighting Tournament. As usual, Brock falls in love with a pretty girl at first sight. Later, the team enter Gringy City, where Pikachu gets a cold and an admirer, Magnamite. But the Grimers clog the electricity! If Ash can't get the power back on, the Pokemon at the Pokemon center will die! Next they journey to the mountains, where some Diglett are ruining the constrution of a dam! Many Pokemon trainers, encluding that old goat Gary, try to stop them, but for some reason, thier Pokemon won't battle the Diglett! Ash, Misty, and Brock end up learning a valuble lesson about destroying the forests. And, of course, Team Rocket gets "Blasted off agaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin! "
 Not a great first choice, but a great DVD nonetheless... December 27, 2000

Pokemon fans new to the DVD side of things should probably start off with Poke Friends or Thundershock, but for what its worth, this is still a great trio of episodes from Pokemon's 'golden' era.The first episode on the DVD features Pokemon like Primeape and Hitmonchan in a fighting tournament - very cool episode and virtually the only episode in the series to feature some of these Pokemon. The Grimer/Magnemite episode is just kinda there...nothing too major aside from Ash catching a Muk. The third episode is better than it sounds, featuring the Diglett and Dugtrio, as well as Team Rocket's Pokemon meeting their evolution. I have most of the released Pokemon DVDs...like I said, I wouldn't reccomend this as the first choice, but you won't be dissapointed in it either way.
It was Great! Hitmonchan was cool! October 22, 1999
