Before I get to my segment of this post, I'll do some responses first:
The old lady was hillarious. She totally flipped out on them when she found the seal was broken.
Hehe, she was practically ready to murder them!! lol!!
I loved it when Ash, Brock, and Dawn imitated TR's motto. Jessie's reaction was priceless. And Dawn's response was great: "We don't care about you, we're only worried about Spiritomb." She just absolutely burned Jessie.
What makes it funnier, is the fact that a certain someone actually came up with the plan (as in, in
their group)
And then Ash, Dawn, and Brock doing the motto was the win. Just loved Jessie's reaction.
That scene just owns. I'll probably go ahead and upload just that section.
man i need satelight i cant stand waiting for somebody to upload it takes forever
Give me some time, I still have to chop up the episode for upload...
Anyways, I took some notes of things I'd say for this episode, and well I got many of them. First of all, training at night is a first, which surprised me. How the hell down "unsealing" the keystone cause a storm? Oh, and Spiritomb flies? Okay... that was a bit of a shocker... "how else is it supposed to move?" True, but lets not forget that the pokedex info in the game leads me to believe it was
immobile.
And then we meet up with "the creepy old lady", whom we haven't seen for at least 8 years (the episode waayy back in Johto with the Hoothoot is probably the last time I've seen an old lady). Tells the group about Spiritomb. I'm not really sure what's more coincidental: the fact that the
Aura Guardian has a Pikachu, or that, like Ash, his Pikachu is armed with Volt Tackle...
Then when Team Rocket arrives, I didn't know Jessie could imitate a Russian? I wonder if Michelle Knotz is just good a using a Russian accent. And of course, converting Meowth into a Sneasel... c'mon, can't they think of any other disguise by now? And I thought it hilarious that James says that "this Sneasel is a
Psychic Sneasel". Okay, Ash and co. should have at least clued in that Sneasel is
not Psychic to begin with.
Best line of this episode "They're as dumb as they look. They really
are as dumb as they look".
Now, the biggest kicker I have ever seen: Dawn can actually create a plan. A MAIN CHARACTER CAN CONJURE UP A PLAN! When was the last time we say that? But the reactions that ensued were just perfect. Right after Spiritomb appears:
Jessie: I don't want to be treated like garbage...
Meowth: You're a little late...
First Dawn, then Meowth. Boy, Jessie is sure getting a beating!
Best Team Rocket line thus far: "Cheaps seats for Cheap Skates". I wonder if that could potentially become an episode title?
Anyways great episode, I'm really enjoying this season so far (sure taking it's time though...).
