VHS Movie Reviews of Pokemon - Thunder Shock (Vol. 5)
Movie Review: Shocking
Summary: 4 Stars
Before Pokemon Advanced this was my favorite episode. It takes place when Ash and friends (Misty and Brock) finally reach a city. Misty wants to go to a bubblebath and Brock wants to see a navigator. But Ash zips off to the gym! Finally though his friends convivnce him that the pokemon center would be a better place to crash. Pikachu is all healed, eating an apple, seeming fine, but suddenly a pidgey and ratata are rushed into the emergency room. They had been seriously hurt by the gym leader's amazing pokemon!
Now pikachu is afraid, but they tres out the battle anyway. Ash chooses pikachu to face....raichu?! Afraid, pikachu dashes behind Ash's leg. But it is forced to battle anyway. Raichu merely absorbs pikachu's shocks and creams in it two moves-thundershock and thunder punch, then a totally not-needed body slam. Poor pikachu didn't even need the third attack; it was so hurt.
The only solution was to evolve pikachu into raichu, but the little yellow pokemon refused. It threw down the stone. There went their only hope....or was there another way?
Summary of Pokemon - Thunder Shock (Vol. 5)
When Pokemon evolve, they are almost always stronger than before, and for Ash to win a ThunderBadge, Pikachu must defeat its evolved form, Raichu! It's a clash of lightning and pride! Later, Ash, Misty and Brock embark on a pleasure cruise aboard the St. Anne accompanied by other Pokemon and their trainers, but something seems wrong. Can the Cruise be a Team Rocket plot?!Pok?mon Master-in-training Ash Ketchum experiences further ups and downs, with Misty teasing him and the practical Brock advising him. "Mystery at the Lighthouse" recalls Ray Bradbury's short story "The Fog Horn." The single, forlorn specimen of a huge seagoing Pok?mon comes to a lonely lighthouse seeking companionship, but the villains of Team Rocket drive off the unique creature before "Pok?mon scholar" Bill can study it. Moving on to Vermilion City, Ash wins a Thunder Badge in a match against the local champion, whose no-holds-barred tactics have sent more than a dozen Pok?mon to the hospital. Ash and Pikachu prove that speed, agility, and friendship can overcome brute strength. At their evil boss's bidding, Team Rocket lures a crowd of Trainers onto the St. Anne ocean liner as part of a plot to seize their Pok?mon. Ash leads a counterattack that defeats the bad guys, but the episode ends on an unusually ominous note, with Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu trapped in the sinking ship. Even more ominous for parents is Bill's statement that there may be no limit to the number of Pok?mon beyond the known 151. --Charles Solomon
