Flipping the page, it shows a Bulbasaur, and states that a strange seed planted on the back of Bulbasaur grows as it grows. Ash then tells Bulbasaur to use Leech Seed on Geodude to sap its energy.

The next page shows Ivysaur and it says that as the seed grows, Ivysaur loses the ability to stand on its hind legs. Ash then has it attacking several Pokémon: hitting Pidgey with Vine Whip, dusting Omanyte with PoisonPowder, and attacking Hitmonlee with Razor Leaf.

The next page shows Haunter using Confuse Ray on Exeggcute and Night Shade on Starmie. It says since Haunter can go through block walls that people believe it comes from another dimension.

Flipping the page, Caterpie is stated to have suction pads on the tip of its little feet that allow it to climb slopes and walls tirelessly. It is seen using String Shot to slow down an Oddish.

Flipping the page shows Metapod. It says its body is weak when the shell is soft, making it vulnerable to attack. Ash tells it to use Harden and says Weepinbell will get tired out before Metapod can be hurt.

The last page shows Butterfree. It says it flaps its wings fast during battle to release highly toxic dust into the air. It sends Gloom to sleep using Sleep Powder. Butterfree is then seen making a battle end by using Whirlwind on Hypno. Butterfree then uses Psybeam on Tangela to confuse it.

On the next page, Ash tells Kadabra to use Disable so Machop can't use Karate Chop. It is then shown using Confusion on Bulbasaur to make it unaware of what is going on. It then uses Psybeam on a Weepinbell to confuse it. It states that Kadabra emits special alpha waves from its body that can induce headaches by just being near.

On the last page, Alakazam is seen protecting itself from Hitmonchan by using Reflect. Alakazam is then asked to use Recover to heal. Alakazam then proceeds to use Psychic on Mankey to make it weaker. Alakazam's brain is stated that it can outperform a Supercomputer and has an IQ said to be 5,000.
