With the business of the Red Gyarados over, Ash decides to challenge the Gym Leader Pryce but he isn’t in town. They find him meditating under a waterfall.

• In this episode, Team Rocket uses a variation of their motto.

Errors

• During the Who's That Pokémon?, the text says "This Pokémon is composed of three Magnemites" with the incorrect plural for Magnemite. The correct plural form for Magnemite would simply be Magnemite.
