Today’s recording doesn’t actually start in the middle of the episode. In actual fact, we get a minute or so of the previous programme. Which is whatever this is.
(An image search tells me it’s a show called SamSam which I have never heard of.)
Then we immediately go into Pokemon Battle Dimension – A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine.
The first crime is that these broadcasts don’t seem to play the titles, so we’re robbed of the chance to listen to the banger of a theme tune for these episodes. What’s strange is that this theme is so familiar to me, so I’m surprised none of these recordings have included it. My kids must have watched enough episodes which included the theme song, so I can only assume those were on streaming.
Piplup is training with dawn when he unexpectedly collapses.
They take him to Nurse Joy who suggests Piplup is just exhausted, after overdoing things.
Team Rocket go for a succulent Chinese meal, and immediately put on a huge amount of weight.
So they resolve to get fit again.
They start exercising.
Must be a great exercise plan, because pretty soon they’re back to their normal weights.
They break into the Pokemon centre where Piplup is being treated, and start stealing Pokeballs.
Piplup wakes up when he hears them, and raises the alarm.
Ash and friends discover the theft of Pokeballs, and rush out to stop Team Rocket.
Team Rocket transform their car into a robot.
Piplup uses Bubblebeam (of course) to blind Team Rocket while Pikachu uses Iron tail to get back the Pokeballs.
Then Pikachu attacks and blows up the robot, sending Team Rocket flying.
Media Centre Description: Ash continues his quest to become the greatest Pokemon trainer ever.
