Fire & Ice! (078)

**Blue Snover** · 8th October 2008, 12:37 PM

I think Ash did quite well in this match, but a fire type on an ice field wasn't really a big surprise, because the other trainer thought they would get the advantage.

She did?! Dang I've been looking for examples of when someone in Team Rocket used Ash's name... though she wasn't talking to him directly so it's not quite what I'm looking for...

Eh, a decent episode I guess. Glad to see Ash won all his rounds ^^

I like this episode. It was a neat battle. I really love Kingler too. We should see more of him. "Just keep hammering away" lulz.

Part two of the Pokemon League!
Well not really as the battle was short though. I did really find humorous of Team Rocket posing as double nurse Joy. But I didn't like the way that Team Rocket just revealed themselves whenever they kept on hearing the word "trouble".

The first battle was very short, i think they little hurry there. the second was better.

**Ciccone** · 10th January 2010, 1:33 PM

Kinda mad that we didn't see a full battle in the Rock field. It started out in the last match-up...

Great episode, I loved that Kingler took out Cloyster with a few hits. It was really the superstar of this tournament.

As for Pikachu versus Arcanine, it was epic with Pikachu skiing past using it's speed. 10/10

I remember this episode just because of the scene of Pika vs Arcanine. All in all this league was great because of entirety.. Don't take battles like Nidorino vs Squirtle for granted! it's part of the whole league. Parts like Ash strugling to get back at the league in time to beat richie that stuff, that made this league awesome.. Hoenn just had the fighting.. which became boring.. really.. though I'm not saying the battles were crap.

This episode also had Brock taking care of Ash in one way or another, first his balls, then his pikachu.. because if Brock didn't scream 'dive'.. Pikachu would've had a Fire Blast to it's face.. Though I find it funny that when Pikachu resurfaced.. that small Arcanine had no battling spirit left.. It looked like a puppy xD

It'd be really nice if America did something like Japan's pokemon sunday where they show an hour of old episodes. Just an hour of old pokemon episodes every sunday starting with the first season.

One of pikachu's best old school wins! It was pretty intimidated by arcanine at first.

Not a bad episode, it's just it would been better to see a full battle in each field (Rock and Ice). Having them wandering around looking for a pokemon center was fun though, like when Jessie and James show themselves Brock and Ash get scolded by Misty for fooling around instead of getting Pikachu back.

**saar** · 27th June 2010, 5:52 PM

There were many breaks in this episode .. But I especially loved the battles. Kingler was pretty strong on its own, and his loss to Arcanine was pretty surprised due to its type advantage.
Finally Ash used a smart strategy with the Water-Electric attack. From now on he became smarter.

**RWB** · 21st January 2011, 8:38 PM

Found the entire ZOMG WATER USE ELECTRIC idiotic. It's on ICE. Which is very bad at leading electricity. Wouldn't have annoyed me so much if it wasn't the big reason Ash won, and it was shouted out.

Also, the earlier match(with the nidorino).

There is a big miss in it.

Both trainers are down two- but Ash's lamp shows that Ash had two mons left and one fainted- if this was the case, Nidorino should already have been out and have floored a mon. Instead Ash's second Pokémon seems to have fainted completely on it's own whim, since the opponents pokemon was already considered beaten.

This was a great episode. I didn't however like the fact that not all of the 2 battles was shown... I hate when they do that, battles should always be shown fully! The battle between Arcanine and Pikachu was the best battle yet!

59/100

**Aquarelle** · 19th March 2011, 6:50 AM

This was an okay episode. It was a little lame how they didn't show Ash's two battles in full. With the battle against the Nidorino guy, I was confused and thought they had skipped part of the battle or something (guess I wasn't paying attention at the beginning). I wish they would have at least given the Nidorino trainer a name. :/

I did like the parts where Togepi pulled on the table cloth in that restaraunt and how they portrayed Brock falling in love with Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny in this episode. Those were quite funny. xD

**Vern** · 8th October 2011, 12:26 AM

Yeah, the battles in this episode weren't that great since they were both pretty short. The whole middle prtion of the episode felt more like a huge filler than anything else to be honest. Out of the two battles, the best was clearly the Arcanine match. I did like Jessie and James struggling to not say their motto though.

**AquaMilotic** · 15th October 2011, 12:52 AM

This is an awesome episode. Ash crying and saying "Ik heb geen geld!" (Dutch for "I don't have any money!") in the resteaurant was awesome, and he thought the waitress was a fan of him. Also, James dressed as a doctor was great in this episode. However, I would have liked to see more of the two league battles Ash had.

**Calamity™** · 8th November 2011, 10:06 AM

It's Koffing!
Team Rocket in bins, haha. I think Jessie made a very good Nurse Joy.
How would battling make the Trainer hungry anyway? It's the Pokémon that does all the work.
Anyway this episode was quite boring seeing as the two battles were so short. They mention hit points though. o: The Arcanine battle was fun, although that wasn't a Dragon Rage, it was a Twister. ¬¬

**silent_control** · 14th February 2012, 11:04 AM

It was a really nice episode, but I really can't understand how Pikachu managed to zap the Arcanine; he was on ice, not on water.
