Remember That Episode?: Pallet Party Panic

• Pallet Party Panic (Japanese: マサラタウン！あらたなるたびだち！ Masara Town! Setting off on a New Journey!) is the 81st episode of the Pokémon anime and the final episode of the Indigo League arc. It was first broadcast in Japan on January 28, 1999 and in the United States on December 4, 1999.
• In this episode, Ash returns to Pallet Town after finishing in the Top 16 in the Indigo Plateau Conference. Professor Oak has put up a party at his lab to celebrate Ash's achievements. While everyone is digging in for the food, Team Rocket have plans of there own as they attempt to steal Pikachu again.
• This episode marks the debut of Ash's Pidgeot.
• This is the last episode to air in the 1990s.
• The fact that the Spearow from Pokémon - I Choose You! evolved into a Fearow might be a reference to the anime's manga counterpart, where it actually was caught by Ash.
• Despite belonging to the Indigo League arc, this episode has only appeared on the Orange Islands DVDs.
