"Goin' For A Spinda!"
This episode starts with Ash deciding to head towards Petalburg City for his next Gym battle. On their way, the Ash and the others runs into a Spinda with a heart-shaped mark on it's head. The Spinda gets scared after seeing the group and runs off. Later they meets a pretty girl named Claire and his butler Royce. Claire tells the group that she's looking for her lucky Spinda which was given to her by a close friend for safekeeping. Brock gets attracted to Claire and quickly grabs her hands, promising to do anything to find the missing Spinda. Then the whole "searching for a Spinda" plot begins.
Overall, I thought this was an OK episode. The COTD girl Claire was very pretty, no wonder why Brock fell in love with her. Too bad Claire was already engaged the Spinda's owner Kain. Because of that, Brock got his heart broken Again!
Team Rocket were really annoying in this episode, this time they tried to steal the Spinda. the Spinda-mecha was one of their most lame mechas in my opinion. Oh well, at least Brock got to blast Team Rocket off in this episode.
