We really didn’t know what we were getting into with this episode. We’ve been on our way to Goldenrod City for what seems like a million years, we’ve met an insane cast of characters, and have encountered tons of new Pokémon. We have to get to Goldenrod this episode… Right?

We start the episode off with one of a bunch of really cool moments that we get throughout this episode. The group lets all of their Pokémon out of their Pokéballs for a little relaxation and fun. While the Pokémon play, Team Rocket is getting set up for an epic heist. With all the Pokémon in one spot, this was a great opportunity for them to strike!

It turns out that they have stumbled upon an Ursaring breeding grounds and hilarity is soon to ensue. We pretty much get a nonstop barrage of Hyper Beams from the Ursaring all episode long, which keeps everyone on the run. There is plenty of humor, action, and some pretty great character development afoot.

Later in the episode we see a really cool dynamic that splits both our party and Team Rocket up into groups, and we get to see a different side of both groups. Team Rocket gets a taste of what companionship and caring looks like, and our party gets to take care of instead of battle with Team Rocket.
