Well I was surprised too, since he doesn't have experience taking care of android-like Pokemon. They're hard to understand.
Why did you like Jolteon? I liked it because it was like the Pokemon version of a sheepdog, rounding up the Magnemite and such.

EP103: Get Along, Little Pokemon!
American Air Date: April 29th, 2000
Important Events: none
Synopsis
On their way to Trovita Island, our heroes are trekking through the barren wasteland on Mandarin Island. Suddenly, a storm looms overhead and the heroes run for cover. They find shelter under a cliff and watch in awe as group of Magnemite absorb the lightning of the storm. A man rolls up in a wagon, pulled by two Tauros, and offers them safety in the wagon.
After the storm, the man reveals his name to be Ethan. Clothed in full cowboy gear, Ethan tells the gang that he is a Magnemite rancher, collecting electricity from the storms with his Magnemite and bringing the power from town to town. He uses his Jolteon to herd the Magnemite up like sheep, using its electricity to attract and gather them together. With too many Magnemite to name, Ethan calls them by numbers. There is one Magnemite, Number 6, which continuously strays away from the group. The Magnemite seem to love the electricity as well as other Electric-type Pokemon, including Pikachu.
A little later, Ethan receives a phone call from Officer Jenny, who informs him that their town is out of power. They must get the electricity over there to power the town as soon as possible. But, as always, Team Rocket shows up using a giant magnet to try to steal all the Magnemite. After a bit of a scuffle and Team Rocket being blasted off (don’t worry, they’ll be back), Ethan and his Jolteon are seriously injured. Due to Ethan’s injuries, Ash courageously volunteers to take his place and bring the power to the town. He rides on one of the Tauros and takes nine of the Magnemite (and, of course, Pikachu) with him.
On their way to town, all of the Magnemite begin to stray away from Ash. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to attract and bring all the Magnemite back together again…Except for Number 6, who has wondered off. After tracking it down, Ash keeps a tight grip on Number 6 as Team Rocket shows up again, with another magnetic mechanism, as they manage to swipe all the Magnemite (except for Number 6). Pikachu, though still pretty worn out from gathering the Magnemite before, manages to put up an equal fight against Rocket trio as they fire electricity at one another. Number 6, watching Pikachu struggle, decides to save the day and enters the crossfire of electricity. With this great surge of power, Number 6 rescues his fellow Magnemite and in the process evolves into a Magneton. After the other Magnemite charge Pikachu back up, all of the Electric Pokemon attack at once and send Team Rocket blasting off for the second time in the same episode. Ash then continues on and reaches the town, restoring their power.
Misty, Tracey, and Ethan arrive at town the next day and see that the town has gotten its electricity back. They meet up with Ash as Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy thank him for saving the day. Ethan, taking a liking to that so-called “tough little hombre”, offers Ash to join up and work with him. Ash thanks him for the offer, but obviously declines, saying that he has to compete in the Orange League, and that maybe someday he will learn as much about Pokemon as Ethan does. The episode then draws to a close as Ash and friends wave goodbye to Jenny, Joy, and Ethan and walk on to the next town.
My Thoughts
This was an above-average filler episode by the show’s standards. Solid animation, solid voice-acting, and a likeable character-of-the-day all come to together to form a good episode. There were also four (Magnemite, Jolteon, Tauros, and Magneton) featured Pokemon, which is way more than we usually get. If fillers were to be more like this, there would be less Pokemon to feature per episode and therefore less episodes to fill up, making more room for the action and story progression. I’m all for filler, but sometimes the writers overdo it (we’ll really begin to see it in Johto). I also like how this episode and the next two truly lead into one another, instead of the usual Lapras is surfing along and spots a random island. The characters all reference or point out the next destination, and the writers allow the viewers to see the setting of the next episode. This is one of the few times that the show actually does this.
Also, imagine if Ash had accepted Ethan’s offer at the end of the episode? As stupid as that would be, imagine if the writers just completely blew our minds with that. Ash ditches his dream of becoming a Pokemon Master and instead becomes a Magnemite rancher. Just a random thought.

Did they misspell the title grammatically?
It said "Get Along Little, Pokemon!"
Shouldn't it have been "Get Along, Little Pokemon!"?

It's long ago since I saw this episode for the last time, but I remember it. And I remember that I really like it. It's a good filler. 7/10.
This was an okay episode. There were some funny parts, like when Pikachu was stuck in a whole pile of Magnemite. I also thought that the Jolteon was pretty cool with how it was herding the Magnemite like sheep. But other than that, I thought it was kind of a dull episode, plus I had totally forgot about it. :/

Ahhh a Jolteon. It made this episode a whole lot better to me. Ash seemed quite good at controlling the Magnemite and it was cool to see Number 6 evolve into a cooky Mangeton.

This was an okay episode, I liked it when Misty fell on the ground and Ash helped her in the beginning. Nice to see a Jolteon herding the crowd of Magnamite, who were absorving the lightning. Ethan was an interesting COTD.
I liked Ash's determination to save the town, he was quite good at controling those Magnamite. Pikachu also helped him by using Thunderbolt.
I'm glad that Number 6 evolved into a Magnaton.

It was neat to see a Jolteon in the anime again. You don't see those everyday (in the show).

It was a good filler. Seeing Jolteon was nice as always and Magnemite's VA was excellent. Seeing 6 evolve was awesome as well.
Well Pikachu lured the Magnemites using his electricity at least. I thought it was funny how he got swarmed by them near the beginning. :3
