==Episode plot==
Ash and friends enter an ice cave as it's a shortcut to Blackthorn City. After a watery run-in with Team Rocket, Brock catches a cold and the gang finds a Pokémon Center in the cave. While a Jynx working there is taking care of Brock, Nurse Joy tells Ash and Misty that the cave is cold because of a big building working there as a refrigerator. Team Rocket finds the building and they cause trouble by reversing the structure, heating the cave and cooling the jungle outside. Ash, Misty and Nurse Joy try to stop them, but they fall into a hole. After Team Rocket escapes to catch Ice-type Pokémon, Bayleef gets Ash, Misty and Nurse Joy out of the hole and then uses her vines to restore the pipe to its original place. Team Rocket arrives in front of the Pokémon Center and they manage to capture the ice Pokémon, including Jynx, by using heaters. Despite being in weakened state, Brock tries to stop Team Rocket, but they defeat him. Ash, Misty and Nurse Joy arrive just in time to help. Pikachu rescues the ice Pokémon by destroying the heaters. Jynx and the Piloswine use Blizzard to freeze Wobbuffet, Arbok and Victreebel, and then Pikachu sends Team Rocket blasting off with Thunder. Now that Brock is feeling much better, Ash and friends leave the Ice Cave and arrive near the Blackthorn Lake.
==Trivia==
*Pocket Monster TV: Jynx
*This episode was banned primarily due to Jynx's appearance resembling offensive caricatures of people of African descent. 4Kids Entertainment most likely skipped over dubbing the episode for this reason.
**Subsequently, it was also skipped outside of Asia due to non-Asian dubs generally being re-dubbed versions of the English dub.
*The Nurse Joy from "The Joy of Pokémon" makes a guest appearance in a photo.
