On their way to Goldenrod City, we saw the party stumble upon a school for Wooper, where they met Olesia. Brock falls in love, Misty kept him in check, and Ash is still hungry to get to Goldenrod City for his next Gym battle. 

We begin this episode’s journey with the party arriving at the Onix Tunnel, which you guessed it, is filled with Onix. Ash is confident that the Onix would be no match for his Squirtle, and Misty has a bag full of Water Pokémon as well. They decide to camp out for the night before taking on the tunnel, and we get two all back characters come back to the show… Jigglypuff and Madam Muchmoney’s Snubbull.

The next morning we see Team Rocket at the entrance of the tunnel, which turns into some great battles with the Onix.They learn fast that these Onix are not to be taken lightly, as Jesse even resorts to throwing Meowth at one of them! We cut to Ash and crew who are beginning their morning with some warm ups for their journey through the tunnel, when they encounter Snubbull and Jigglypuff. Of course we get to see and hear Jigglypuff put everyone to sleep, including Team Rocket, who surrendered back from the tunnel nearby.

This episode’s Team Rocket battle is fantastic. We see Misty’s Poliwag in action, who puts on a show with its Double Slaps. Chikorita and Wobbuffet get into it, but Pikachu was there for the finish to send Team Rocket blasting off. To celebrate, Jigglypuff puts on one more show, putting everyone back to sleep!

Maybe next episode we will get to Goldenrod City?
