Pokemon Battle Dimension – 01 Jul 2009

We’re into July 2009, and I’m afraid this is a month comprised solely of Pokemon, and it will continue beyond for a little while.

The friends have reached the Wallace Cup, and this episode is basically just them competing, although it’s not pokemon battles, it’s them showing off their pokemon’s skill. Jessie has entered (as Jessalina).

Zoey competes with her Finneon.

Ash performs with Buizel.

Dawn is nervous about her performance.

She performs with Ambipom.

All four of the friends (including May) have gone through to the next round.

Jessie was not as lucky.

Pokemon Battle Dimension – Staging a Hero’s Welcome

Media Centre Description: Ash continues his quest to become the greatest Pokemon trainer ever. The Wallace Cup is about to begin and Dawn is nervous because of her previous failures, leaving her short of confidence.

Pokemon Battle Dimension – 29 Jun 2009

Today’s recording is Pokemon Battle Dimension – Our Cup Runneth Over.

Most of the first half is missing but we join the action as Ash and friends meet Wallace, who’s so beautiful he seems to have transparent hair.

He’s obviously famous because he talks about appearing on talk shows and public appearances.

Wallace asks Dawn if she’ll show him some of her contest moves, so she and Ash have a bit of a battle. Piplup! Use bubble beam.

Wallace gives some advice.

He suggests Dawn plays with Piplup rather than just practices.

Team Rocket turn up, in an impenetrable disguise as usual.

Wallace gives a demonstration with his Milotic.

The end of the episode is clearly a reveal, and Ash is asked to call someone in Snow Point City, and the person who receives the call turns to face that camera and says “Great! Thanks! I’ll go take it right now!” I’ve asked my Pokemon expert (my oldest daughter) and she tells me this is May.

Media Centre Description: Ash continues his quest to become the greatest Pokemon trainer ever. On their way to Pastoria City, the gang learn of an event called the Wallace Cup. Dawn wants to enter, but thinking about Zoey’s advice leaves her doubting whether she can win.

Today’s reording is Pokemon Battle Dimension – Pika and Goliath.

Oh no! Pikachu is hurt after a fight with a Raichu.

Later they find Pikachu has gone missing, along with the Thunderstone.

Ash is worried and they search for him. But when Ash finds him, he sees he’s been practicing. He doesn’t want to evolve.

Next day, there’s another battle between Pikachu and Raichu.

Pikachu defeats the Raichu.

Media Centre Description: Ash continues his quest to become the greatest Pokemon trainer ever. Pikachu meets a trainer who owns both a Pichu and a Raichu – and is forced to think very hard about an issue concerning his future.

Pokemon Battle Dimension – 25 Jun 2009

Today we have Pokemon Battle Dimension – Crossing Paths.

We’re getting some of Jesse’s tragic back story, where her promising theatre career was derailed when she failed one audition, after deciding not to give up and leave with her boyfriend. So missed opportunities are on her mind.

Brock is being his usual weird self when another woman is around.

Good thing Croagunk is there to tase him and drag him away, which happens twice in this scene.

Because of her tragic back story, Jesse wants the Dustox she’s found to be able to find love, but there’s a flood that’s preventing it getting to the crossing.

For once, Team Rocket are doing a good thing, trying to block the flooding that was caused by a lightning strike.

Together they’re able to dam the breach. But now the lake water is very low.

They have to melt some snow to refill.

And the Dustox use their powers to siphon the water that was lost from the breach.

The lake looks good for the Dustox Crossing.

Jesse says goodbye to her Dustox, as she won’t let it miss out of the chance of love like she did.

The Dustox make their Golden Arch.

Media Centre Description: Ash continues his quest to become the greatest Pokemon trainer ever. Team Rocket find themselves at a lake, where a shiny Dustox catches their eye. Can they capture it, or will they lose a pokemon of their own?

Pokemon Battle Dimension – 24 Jun 2009

Merry Christmas!

Today it’s Pokemon Battle Dimension – The Bells Are Singing.

Ash and friends are enjoying a magic show, and some singing by some Chinglings.

Team Rocket want to steal the Chinglings and give them to their boss, who would then be very grateful to them.

Brock is sending his heart out to you all.

Team Rocket are singing too.

They infiltrate the Chinglings with a robot duplicate.

They steal the three Chinglings, and James gets very attached to one of them.

When it refuses to join Team Rocket, he uses Mime Jr. so there’s dancing as well as singing.

Media Centre Description: Ash continues his quest to become the greatest Pokemon trainer ever. The gang come to the aid of a trainer named Francesca who has a spoiled Chingling. Will they be able to adjust the Pokemon’s attitude, or is it beyond help?

Pokemon Battle Dimension – 23 Jun 2009

Today’s saunter through Sinnoh region brings us to Pokemon Battle Dimension – Enter Galactic.

I’ve no real clue what’s happening here, as once again we’re missing most of the first half of the episode. But I believe that some people called Team Galactic, and they’re interested in the ancient meteorites that apparently guard the city.

They have some kind of magic key.

All of a sudden it’s all helicopters. This suddenly seems like a completely different show,

Team Galactic start stealing the meteorites.

“We don’t care about your landmarks. But these meteorites must take the necessary forms.”

Officer Jenny arrives.

Team Galactic use a Toxicroak to fight them off.

Brock is almost hit but Croagunk protects him.

Team Galactic use some Golbat to distract them.

Reggie brings Electabuzz to help in the fight.

Pikachu and Electabuzz team up to defeat the Golbats.

Along with Piplup they manage to stop Team Galactic getting away with the meteorites.

Media Centre Description: Ash continues his quest to become the greatest Pokemon trainer ever. Seeing a beautiful meteor shower, Ash and the gang decide to go and investigate. But they are not alone – and the fearsome Team Galactic is about to make itself known!

Pokemon Battle Dimension – 19 Jun 2009

Today it’s Pokemon Battle Dimension – Crossing the Battle Line. Missing the start once again.

This story is basically one gym battle between Maylene and Dawn, helping them both recover confidence. Maylene starts with Meditite.

Dawn starts with Buneary.

She switches to Ambipom.

Maylene switches to Lucario.

Dawn switches to Piplup.

Maylene wins, but they both enjoyed the battle, and both regained confidence.
