The time has finally come for Ash’s fourth Gym Battle in the Johto League. In the Ecruteak Gym, he must face Morty and his team of powerful ghost Pokémon. But Ash has already been witness to Morty’s Gengar and been stunned by the Pokémon’s power. As Ash muses over battle strategies, Nurse Joy overhears and suggests he uses his Noctowl. Does he have a chance against a whole team of such powerful Pokémon phantoms?

Major events

• Ash's Noctowl learns Confusion.

Trivia

• This episode's dub title is a reference to the phrase From coast to coast.
• Gastly's Lick shouldn't have affected Noctowl because Ghost-type attacks don't affect Normal-types.

Errors

• When Haunter uses Mean Look on Cyndaquil, Misty says that Morty said that challenger is allowed to use substitutes. In reality, the referee said this, not Morty.
