Featured Episode: ELECTRIC SHOCK SHOWDOWN!

'Electric Shock Showdown' was apart of the first series, or Indigo League episodes. It featured Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu coming to Vermillion and Ash was trying to defeat the Vemillion city gym leader, Lt. Surge. As Ash comes to the Pokemon center, people are rushing in with basic Pokemon that are very hurt. Despite the warning sign in all of this, Ash continues to go up against Surge with a not-so-happy Pikachu. During the battle Raichu (Surge's) takes Pikachu down, and Surge tells Ash that Pikachu must evolve to learn the best Electric attacks. Surge evolved his Pikachu as soon as possible to make Raichu the strongest Pokemon that it can be. Pikachu is very hurt by the battle, taking Ash, Misty, and Brock quickly back to the Pokemon Center. Ash is hurt by the battle too, and is also fighting another great battle; should Ash evolve Pikachu? He is presented with a Lightning Stone and Ash is unsure what to do. Should he keep his beloved Pikachu and maybe lose the next battle? Or should he make Pikachu stronger by evolving him? Ash gives the opportunity of decision to Pikachu; does he want to evolve? Pikachu turns the offer down; he wants to beat Raichu the way he is. Ash dismayed, starts to think of a new strategy for Pikachu, but there is nothing except the idea of what Brock has. If Raichu was evolved as soon as he was caught, he couldn't have leveled up far to where it can be quick enough. Pikachu is actually faster than Raichu. Once Pikachu is healed, Ash and friends go to the gym for a rematch. Will Ash and Pikachu defeat Surge once more? Or go back with their tails between their legs? Watch this exciting and heartfelt episode next time you can!
