This episode was so good that I think it warrants a longer review than what I usually do for these.
The episode starts off like many a previous filler with Ash and co escaping the rain into a conviniently placed pokemon center. Can we ever get an episode where they don't find shelter while getting attacked by a bloodthirsty feraligatr instead? Moving right along Clemont takes out the power inside said pokemon center. But not before pikachu has a chance to get healed. Can't have an entire episode of the mascot lying around now can we? I wonder if Nurse joy or anyone else whose pokemon weren't lucky enough to be treated can press charges, after all Clemont owns prism tower, he must be loaded. It turns out that the backup generator is also an ancient piece of garbage and must be fueled by the slave labor of our resident electric types minus the lazy as hell denden. After some tinkering by our resident nerd, he finds that everything could be solved by switching in a single screw and like an Angel descending from above, our hero Chespin steps forward and volunteers to buy the magical fixit screw.
Following the power scene of declaration we see Chespin being entrusted with the sacred money pouch and being assigned a servant to do all the hard labor that is below someone of Chespin's stature. The music montage here is so happy and brings a sense of joy to the series I haven't felt since the last episode chespin had a major role in. We see our hero frolicking around enjoying the weather and everything random no name town #4568 has to offer. Except the ice cream. Because somehow the millionare who owns the largest structure in the region is too cheap to give our hero any extra money for a bit of ice cream. For shame. No wonder all his stuff malfunctions. Probably cut corners on parts there too.
With all great quests, there must be some obstacle on for our Hero to face before claming his reward, and it occurs in the form of a completely random fearow. In the following incident, the servant finally proved his use as more than just an unecessary load by serving as a living cannonball, dislodging the precious moneybag and allowing the true hero of this quest to proceed. Due to some distractions and the failure of sidekick bunnelby to do his job properly, the hero had gotten lost and was waylaid by team rocket, who had really sunk to a whole new low trying to steal a small bag of money. Because of all these delays from events outside of our hero's control, Ash stepped in to interefere with his wholly unecessary fliers as ourhero chespin devised an incredible plan to blast off the intruders and save the day. As a side note, Chespin looks oh so right standing by Ash. The two of them were destined to be together always. Back home our hero is welcomed back with all the fanfare that a legendary hero deserves completele with a show of affection from his hopefully temporary caretaker and as massive a banquet as his scroogey owner would spare.
So yeah overall a good episode.
Chespin! Its First Errand!
). At least we got to see more of Bunnelby's personality.
