Synopsis

Template:Incomplete synopsis Ash, Brock and Dawn are sitting next to a pond, watching their Pokémon play in it. They see and Template:Type2 move explode in the sky and an Electrike comes running up. Dawn scans it on her Pokédex and Electrike zaps Ash. A man comes running up and apologizes to Ash. He introduces himself as Jaco and says that he trains Electrike. He bends down to look at Staravia as another man walks up and introduces himself as Cal.

Trivia

  • Music from Jirachi: Wish Maker and Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, and an alternate cut of Together, are used as background music.
  • Ash narrates the next episode preview.
  • When James and Meowth blast off, they are wearing their electricity-proof jackets. In theory, the jackets could be used in later episodes for protection from Pikachu's Thunder, but they have not been seen since.
  • The dub name may be a reference to the Sesame Workshop show The Electric Company.
  • This is one of the few episodes where Team Rocket actually wants to be blasted off by Ash and company—James and Meowth requested for Ash to blast them off while trying to hold back Jessie.

Errors

File:Error 6.jpg
Ash without his gloves
  • When Ash, James, and Meowth are running from Electrike, Ash doesn't have his gloves on, but when he tells Pikachu to use Thunderbolt on Jessie's machine, he has his gloves on again. After Electrike evolves, Ash's gloves are gone again.
  • Pachirisu and Pikachu zap the two outer targets. When the camera pans out, it shows the target on the right undamaged and the left and center targets broken.
