-Any episode that starts off with Jun can only be a good episode.
-Why the hell is Jun's Heracross out of his Pokeb...ooooooohhhh, I KNOW! Everyone's going to have Pokemon out of their Pokeballs so that they can subtley advertise the "one of your Pokemon FOLLOWS YOU EVERYWHERE!" feature in HGSS!
-Jun apparently loves the circus. I'd comment on that further, but the ADHD Blonde Boys' Anti-Defemation League would sue me for it.
-OH GOD A CLOWN KILL IT. it refuses to walk like a normal human
-No, you fools! Don't go into the tent!
-Ash is tiny now. This is why you never trust a clown.
-I spy with my little eye...a coloring error on that Nidoqueen's chin!
-Where the hell are all these wild Pokemon when the gang's just wandering around the woods normally?
-A Natu. Hm.
-Dawn's tiny too! NEVER. TRUST. CLOWNS.
-Hey there's a Natu here too.
-Dawn's Pokeballs aren't working? Oh dear.
-Jun is too ADHD to care that he's tiny. And yes, there's a Natu near him too.
-Altaria-themed cotton candy? That...makes sense, actually.
-Hey, remember those random Twinleaf people we've all been not-caring about for the past few episodes? Yep, they're in this episode too!
-Note that Brock was not with Ash/Dawn/ADHD Lad earlier, and therefore Brock is not tiny.
-Brock's jacket with the Croagunk face on the back needs to become part of his regular outfit.
-TR's scheme of the day appears to involve a game where people are supposed to fish out Goldeen with a net...but the nets are really really flimsy. That fits right in with regular carnival games!
-Jun stands in front of a tree, and recalls that he got Heracross by slathering a tree with honey(while wearing a dapper straw hat!), and...there's a tub of honey right next to him! How incredibly convenient! Jun once again slathers a tree with honey, but let's be honest, without that straw hat, it's just not the same.
-Heracross flies to the tree, and...Jun finally notices that he's small! (not in that way, you pervert!)
-Natu wanders by again. HRM.
-Back in Ash's neck of the woods...GIANT SPEAROW! Luckly, Pikachu's there to zap it out of the sky before it catches Ash and devours him whole.
-Cue reinactment of When Ash Started Getting Along With Pikachu!
-Back to Dawn, which means...
-Cue reinactment of When Piplup Was Still A Pokemon Everyone Liked!
-Blah blah TR blah oh look James flashback to something blah
-Ash and Pikachu are doing stuff. Yawn.
-Dawn and Piplup are busy following a Natu. I'm sure everyone's Natu obsession will make perfect sense by the end of this episode, and clearly has nothing to do with the Xatu on top of the circus tent, which I failed to mention earlier.
-Ash and Pikachu are also chasing a Natu! I wonder what Jun and Heracross are doing?!
-Crashing into Ash and Dawn, that's what! Jun's first reaction is yelling at the things he just crashed into, before realizing that he crashed into Dawn and Ash.
-Oh yes, Natu's still there, jumping up and down, trying to get everyone's attention.
-Hey, it's the circus tent! How nice of Natu to give the gang a way ba...
-Natu(and the tent) vanish, only to be replaced by an angry Camerupt! Remember kids, don't trust clowns. Even if the clowns look like Natu!
-Brine and Generic Electric attack don't work, so Jun decides to...run!
-Now he's insisting that they all attack Camerupt from the side...Heracross hits Camerupt on the side, and one of its humps erupts.
-Piplup hits a different circle on Camerupt's side, and the other hump erupts...Ah, now I see where this is going.
-Pikachu hits the last ring, both humps erupt, and Natu wanders onto the scene and starts glowing very brightly...
-And everyone's back to normal size!
-A Xatu flies off. Definitely not connected to that glowing Natu in any way, nope nope.
-Jun runs after it, and bumps into a green jacket with blonde hair.
-It's PALMER! Ohgod if he's anything like he is in the games it's like having two Juns in one place this'll be so awesome.
-DADDY?! (yes, Jun says it in English, but with a Japanese accent)
-People say Cyrus is creepy, but I think Palmer's just as bad. Those eyes. The trenchcoat. That hair. Those eyes.
-I don't think I'll ever get over Jun calling Palmer DADDY. It was weird enough in the games, but hearing it in the anime makes it even weirder.
-Palmer gives a longass explanation of what the hell happened this episode. Blah blah who cares.
A funky episode. Not really one of my favorites(surprising, since it has JUN in it, for god's sake! The only way to screw that up is to not use him enough in the episode!), but it's not really bad. It's just...weird.
