Fire and Ice (Japanese: こおりのフィールド!ほのおのたたかい! Ice Field! Blazing Battle!) is the 76th episode of the Pokémon anime. It was first broadcast in Japan on December 24, 1998 and in the United States on November 6, 1999.
Blurb
Ash's second battle takes place on the Rock Field where he relies on his Squirtle to hopefully take down a Nidorino. In between matches, Ash needs to drop off his Pokémon at the Pokémon Center to have them taken care of. Team Rocket takes this opportunity to make one more attempt at stealing Pikachu. They set up a Pokémon Center of their own and when Ash drops off his Pokéballs, they grab them and run! When he finally gets his Pokémon back, Ash must race to make it to his third match of competition, which will be held on the Ice Field.
Plot
Ash is in his second preliminary battle, on the Rock field. Both he and his opponent are down to their last Pokémon. Ash sends out Squirtle, while the opponent sends out Nidorino. Both put up a fierce fight, with Nidorina charging forward with a Tackle attack which sends Squirtle into a spin. Squirtle continues rolling while its opponent chases after it. The Water Pokémon makes its way up a curved rock and launches a powerful Water Gun which propels Nidorino into a rock. Squirtle follows up with a Skull Bash and knocks out its opponent, allowing Ash to advance to the third round.
It is revealed that Gary was watching Ash's battle with his cheerleaders. He scoffs at Ash's confidence for winning what he calls two easy matches. Gary walks off while his entourage cheers his name, seemingly jealous and a bit spiteful toward Ash.
Misty arrives at the group's accommodation, only to notice Ash's absence while Brock takes care of Ash's Pokémon. She criticises his selfishness, and the two soon reunite with Ash and Pikachu who are in midst of searching for a place to eat. Ash soon locates an all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant, where he and Misty indulge. During the meal Pikachu saves Togepi's life from falling cutlery, though Misty only sees Pikachu performing a seemingly dangerous stunt, warns her Pokémon not to follow suit and goes on to criticise Ash's training method.
Ash and his friends search for a Pokémon Center so Ash can heal his Pokémon before the third round. The Centers are crowded and many Nurse Joys and Jennies are running everywhere in the streets to cater to all the Trainers needs. Brock's love meter skyrockets at this rate. Team Rocket relishes this opportunity to swipe Ash's Pokémon and they do so by opening a fake Pokémon Center. They beckon Ash and his friends over as they wait in line and James, disguised in a nurses outfit with facemask, lures them into the auspicious building. Ash submits his Pokémon for healing as Brock's suspicions grow as he isn't attracted to the Center's Nurse Joy, which is soon revealed to be Jessie. While Ash and friends are talking they mention a few key words which trigger Team Rocket to recite their motto and reveal themselves. Meowth clicks a button and the Pokémon Center façade falls apart as Team Rocket begin their balloon escape with Ash's Pokémon. Brock's Onix stops them and gives Ash his Pokémon back. After biting a hole into their balloon, Onix sends Team Rocket blasting off again. After fending off Team Rocket, the group then hears that new Pokémon will be admitted into the Pokémon Center. Ash takes this opportunity to heal his Pokémon.
Now Ash is now in the middle of the third round match with Pete Pebbleman on the Ice Field. Both Trainers are each down one Pokémon. Ash uses Kingler for the battle, while Pete uses Cloyster for the battle. Pete orders Cloyster to Withdraw into its spiked shell, helping it to defend itself from Kingler's barrage of Crabhammers. While Ash fears that Kingler will be exhausted, Misty and Brock encourage him to keep going, because Cloyster is still losing health despite the defense boost. Kingler keeps hitting Cloyster with its Crabhammer until Cloyster's shell finally cracks, knocking it out. Pete recalls Cloyster and sends out Arcanine. Kingler tries a Bubble attack, but Pete's Arcanine dodges it and uses Dragon Rage. Kingler is caught in the icy twister, but with Ash's plea it manages to stand up. Ash still recalls Kingler and sends Pikachu onto the battlefield. Hoping to confuse his opponent, Ash has Pikachu use Agility and it narrowly evades Arcanine's Fire Blast attacks. Pete soon reveals his strategy, the Fire Blast attacks are to melt the field. The technique takes Ash by surprise, but with Brock's suggestion, Ash has Pikachu dive into the water. Misty reminds him that water conducts electricity, so Ash tells Pikachu to use Thunderbolt. Pete's Arcanine is defeated, and Ash is heading for the fourth round.

Trivia
- Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture: Indigo Plateau Conference tournament format
- Pokémon senryū summary: On the field, choosing the Pokémon, is difficult.
- Ash's challenger on the Rock Field is left unnamed in both versions.
- Brock's ability to identify fake Nurse Joys is first seen in this episode.
- As Ash is looking for a place to eat, he passes a movie theater with a poster for Pokémon in Love, the movie of which he helped produce.
- This is one of the very few times in the anime that Team Rocket refers to Ash by his first name instead of as "twerp" or "brat".
- After James suggests to Jessie and Meowth that he has a plan to steal Pikachu, Team Rocket break the fourth wall by saying "So let's all get to work and get on with the show!"
- Viridian City can be heard during the parade.
- This episode's title is formatted as Fire And Ice on the DVD menu of Australian DVDs.
Errors
- In the Brazilian Portuguese dub version, when Misty refers to Hit Points her words are mistranslated as Attack Points (Pontos de Ataque).
- On the posters in the village, the é in Pokémon lacks its accent.
- While Team Rocket is reciting their motto the white piece of paper behind them covering part of the "R" is missing the blue design and text.
- As the Officer Jennys run past Ash and Misty, Ash comments on the large amount of them. However, when a group of Nurse Joys run past, Misty calls them Officer Jennys instead.
- Misty says that Brock and Ash need to get all of their Pokémon back, but only Ash's Pikachu was stolen.
- The scoreboard prior to Ash's battle on the Ice Field erroneously shows him as the Red Competitor on the right side when he's the Green Competitor on the right side.
- Nidorino only attacked without his Trainer's commands.
- When Brock tells Misty that Ash was "starving", Brock's shirt collar is discolored, making it look like his head is disconnected to the rest of his body.
Dub edits
- Pikachu's Jukebox: 2.B.A. Master
- North American DVD releases and Pokémon TV cut roughly 13 seconds from this episode. Immediately after Ash and Pikachu pass by the movie theater showing Pokémon in Love, there are several shots showing Pokémon-related merchandise, including Clefairy figures, Gengar cotton candy, and Cubone bobbleheads. Pikachu taps the head on one of the bobbleheads, causing it to bob and say its name. Ash and Pikachu laugh and move on. This segment is still present in the broadcast and streaming versions, as well as Australian DVDs.
- Ash's "collection plate" joke is dub-only; in the original he just states he doesn't have any money.
- Ash asks Pikachu if he's practicing to be in the circus while spinning a plate but in the original he warns him the people in the restaurant will get angry.
- In the original, Team Rocket references getting expensive makeup from Hollywood and having to patch together their older balloons; in the dub, they talk about taking a vacation and leaving with Pikachu as a souvenir.
- Misty mentions Hit Points in the dub, the only time it is referenced in the anime. She just talks about "taking damage" in the original, however.
- The "take a dive" misunderstanding was originally referring to a Japanese proverb equivalent to "fortune favors the bold", but with the Japanese word for float (浮かぶ).
