| Charmander The Stray Pokemon |
Still unable to find the way to Vermillion City, Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu encounter a Charmander sitting on a rock in the forest. Charmander looks tired and hurt, but refuses to accompany Ash to the nearby Pokemon Center because he is waiting for his trainer to come back. Reluctantly, they leave him there and continue to the Pokemon Center. There they discover that Charmander's trainer, Damian, abandoned Charmander and has no intention of coming back. Ash and his friends return to rescue Charmander just as he is becoming weak. They bring him back to the Pokemon Center to recover, but Charmander escapes into the morning, intending to return to the rock to wait for Damian. Meanwhile, Team Rocket builds another trap intended to catch Pikachu; instead, Ash and the others fall in, leaving Pikachu alone. Jessie and James are wearing suits to protect them from Pikachu's electrical attacks, and capture him. However, Charmander appears and defeats Team Rocket, saving Pikachu. Damian tries to get Charmander back, but he chooses to go with Ash instead, and Ash accepts him. | MPEGs: |
| Here Comes the Squirtle Squad |
Ash and the others are the victims of another pit-trap... but this one was set by a gang of Squirtles which has been terrorizing a nearby town. Team Rocket also encounters the Squirtle Squad, but Meowth convinces them to help Team Rocket capture Pikachu. Ash, Pikachu, and their friends are captured by the Squirtles and Meowth. Pikachu is hurt, though, and the Squirtles let Ash go to town to get a healing potion for him. With a little help from Jenny the cop, he manages to get back just in time to see Team Rocket betray the Squirtles. Ash helps the Squirtles defeat Team Rocket and win back the trust of the town. The strongest Squirtle, impressed by Ash's trust and assistance, decides to join him. | MPEGs:

| Mystery at the Lighthouse |
Still horribly lost, Ash and his friends find a lighthouse inhabited by Bill, a Pokemon researcher whose expertise rivals even Professor Oak's. They find out that beyond the oceans lives an enourmous Pokemon that no one has ever seen. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is trying to get to the lighthouse by climbing the cliff that it's on, and they have face-to-face with the legendary Pokemon Bill was talking about. Wanting to capture it, they try to weaken it by shooting at them, but they end up chasing it away. Bill hopes that one day the Pokemon will return, and Ash and his friends continue on to Vermillion City (or try to). | MPEGs:

| Electric Shock Showdown |
Ash and his friends finally make it to Vermillion City! (About time, eh?) While Pikachu recovers at the Pokemon Center, they notice that there are many injured Pokemon there, and they find out that it's because the local Gym Leader, Lt. Surge, keep on defeating all his challengers with his Pokemon, Raichu. Pikachu and Ash go to the Gym to challenge Lt. Surge, but Pikachu gets completely defeated by Raichu, and he ends up in the Pokemon Center's recovery room. Nurse Joy suggests that Pikachu evolve into Raichu to be stronger, but Pikachu refuses.
Meanwhile, Team Rocket is spying on Ash and his friends, and they're touched by Pikachu's determination. Ash and Pikachu challenge Lt. Surge again, and Pikachu uses his agility to counter Raichu's attacks and manages to defeat her. Lt. Surge and Raichu award Ash with the Thunder badge and congratulate them for their work. "Drat, we wasted this whole episode cheering for the good guys!" |

| Battle Aboard the St. Anne |
This was originally the American preview episode shown on September 7th, 1998, so those who couldn't show Pokemon on the premiere date could still be in sync with the other stations.
While travelling, Ash and his friends are approached by two schoolgirls who offer them tickets for the St. Anne, where a huge Pokemon convention will take place. They gladly accept the tickets, but little do they know that the ones who offered them are Jessie and James of Team Rocket! Their plan was to invite many Pokemon trainers and steal their Pokemon while they're at sea. On board, Ash has Butterfree fight a Pokemon trainer who has Raticate, a Fight-element Pokemon, and the trainer ends up goading him into trading the two Pokemon. Ash hesitates because he's been with Butterfree since the start, but he trades anyway. Meanwhile, after James gets suckered into spending both his and Jessie's paycheck on Magikarp, a bunch of Team Rocket members attack the ship's passengers, stealing their Pokemon, but the trainers unite their Pokemon and manage to defeat them. Ash manages to get his Butterfree back. However, a storm hits the ship, and it sinks while Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket are still inside! |
