Japanese Episode AG 024: "Hashire Satoshi! Kibania no Kawa o Koete!"
Ookido-Hakase Pokémon Lecture: AG Mini-Movie 01 Preview Pokémon Dare Da? None (Japanese), Shroomish (American) Japanese Air Date: May 8th, 2003 American Air Date: February 28th, 2004 Now that Heigani is a member of Satoshi's team, the young trainer attempts to introduce the new pokemon to the rest of the group. After greeting its new teammates (accidentally ingesting a piece of debris in the process), the group is attacked by the Rocket-Dan. Heigani actually causes more damage when it tries to help, but despite its goof-ups the group is able to hold the Rocket-Dan off. Haruka sends out her Kemusso, which prompts Musashi to bring out her Kemusso, and soon the two begin arguing about which Kemusso is better. Suddenly, both the Kemusso begin to shine, and they both evolve into Karasarisu! The Rocket-Dan is soon defeated, and after the battle everyone notices that Heigani feels sick. Satoshi decides to rush it to the Pokémon Center, but since he doesn't have his Monster Balls with him he'll have to carry the pokemon on his back. The young trainer reaches a river where a bunch of Kibania reside, and every attempt he makes at crossing it results in him being attacked. Finally, with the help of Pikachu and his now-conscious Heigani, Satoshi is able to cross the river. Heigani is brought to the Pokémon Center and is healed, discovering that the debris it ate was the cause of its illness. The next day, Satoshi and Heigani work together to get his friends out of a trap set by the Rocket-Dan the night before, and everyone sees how helpful Heigani can be. Now that it's feeling better and has proven itself to be a powerful competitor, Heigani can now truly call itself part of the team. Thoughts
Now this isn't the first time the show's done this. Shoot, if you really think about it, a good half of the pokemon caught/evolved in the Jouto region occurred in what would otherwise be filler episodes. The reason I'm mentioning it now is because Advanced Generation uses this trick a lot, and after a while it starts to get annoying. I mean, it doesn't make sense for the two Kemusso to evolve in this episode--it would have felt better at the end of "Which Wurmple's Which?". Even though this episode is still enjoyable and has other things going for it (this episode can be seen as Corphish's initiation to the group the way "A Tail with a Twist" was for Treecko), it's largely unimportant to the plot. On the dub side, there are no time edits whatsoever, but 4Kids makes up for it with other cuts throughout the episode. Dialogue
Edit Originally, Musashi, Kojirou, Nyasu, and Sonansu all had some weird pitch thing done to their voices to make them deeper and sound as if they were talking in slow motion. I don't know why they did this, but apparently 4Kids didn't think it was important enough to translate into the dub, so they just performed the motto like always. Side Note
Commercial
Cut--7 seconds
altogether Cut--2
seconds And what's with the noise being made when the Carvanha are attacking Ash? In the part where he says "I...won't let anything happen to you, Corphish! I...promise! You just try and stay strong!", I swear it sounds like the Carvanha are punching him or something. It's the same sound effect used in the Japanese version, so it's there in both versions. And I'll end the
comparison
by expressing my joy at hearing the phrases "fighting fit" and "super
effective"
in the anime.
