In this episode, Ash and other finally reached Cinnabar Island ... and Gary was there too. As usual, he was trying to annoy Ash by saying that there's no gym in Cinnabar Island, but he was wrong about that.
Blaine's Riddles were random and tricky, but I liked how Misty figured them out and they found out Blaine's Secret Gym. The Gym arena itself was pretty good, it was suspended over the Cinnabar Island Volcano. The battle between Ash and Blaine was okay, but didn't make sense to me. Squirtle got knocked out too fast! Squirtle a Water-Type Pokémon, so I expected it to put up a good battle. Pikachu defeating Rhydon by hitting its horn with Thunderbolt......was just meh! How in the world Blaine's highly experienced Rhydon got knocked out by just one Thunderbolt on the horn? It dosen't make any sense. Anyway, I thought Blaine's Magmar was cool and it's Fire Blast at the end was epic! It ended the episode with a good cillfhanger.
Overall, this was a good episode and a good way to introduce Blaine in the anime, but the battles were somewhat lackluster.
