AG046: Candid Camerupt!

October 9, 2003

## Plot

On their way to Fallarbor Town, Ash and company pass through a scorchingly hot desert, only to pass out from the heat. When Ash and friends awake, they meet the eccentric Winstrate Family, who saved them from perishing under the sun. In return for their help, they ask for a Pokémon battle, each of their four family members; Victor, Victoria, Vivi and Vicky, are to battle each member of Ash and company.

Off in the desert, Team Rocket passes out too and is rescued by Vito Winstrate, the eldest child of the family. He explains that he left to battle in the Pokémon League, but all he really wants to do is raise Pokémon. He explains that he fears that truth would be a hard blow to his family, who are very proud of his strength. James offers to talk to them for him.

The first match up is Brock against Victor. Brock uses Mudkip against Victor's Zigzagoon, but is quickly defeated by a surprise Thunderbolt. May is up next against Victoria and her Roselia. Using her Beautifly, and her revved up spirit due to Drew owning a Roselia, she defeats Victoria in two attacks.

Max is next and borrows Ash's Corphish to battle Vivi, the youngest, and her Marill. He defeats her in one of Corphish's brash attacks, breaking her heart.

The first battles end in 2:1 in Ash and friends' favor. Ash takes on the eldest member, Grandma Vicky, with his Pikachu versus her Camerupt. The Pokémon seem evenly matched until things turn for the worst when Camerupt goes on a stampede, spewing fire everywhere.

Nearby, Vito is still with Team Rocket, watching the battle from afar. Seeing Camerupt going straight for the house, he uses his Alakazam to cool it down with Rain Dance, albeit secretly. Believing the rain to be pure luck, Vicky concedes the battle, just thankful Camerupt stopped.

Soon Team Rocket appears and snatches Pikachu up in their balloon. Team Rocket thanks Vito for his help in finding Pikachu. Seeing they are not the good Samaritans he thought they were, he use his Alakazam to free Pikachu. They attempt to try again until Vito uses his Swellow to send them blasting off.

Recognizing the Swellow, Vicky talks loud enough for Vito to hear and says she didn't mean to be so pushy in him becoming a Trainer and says for him to follow his own path. Touched by her words, Vito heads out to find his own destiny.

Ash and friends head off for Fallarbor Town, but not before the Winstrates say goodbye in their own way, by having Camerupt use Eruption, causing Ash and friends to run away.

## Debuts

### Pokémon

* Swellow
* Camerupt
A (lowercase)

**a** (*ア A*) is a **Water**-type glitch Pokémon exclusive to *Pokémon Red* and *Blue* games. It bears the internal hex identifier `C0`; its *Yellow* counterpart is 44Hy.

Like other Glitch Pokémon, *a* (italicized hereafter for clarity) shares a Pokédex number with Poliwhirl. Because of this, *a* shares base stats, its type (**Water**), and a moveset with Poliwhirl, though *a* can also learn glitch moves.

## Appearance

*a*'s sprite consists of misread data; this is a trait that many glitch Pokémon share. Its name often consists of a lowercase "a" followed by several screens of glitched tiles that take several button presses to scroll through; because of this, it is often recommended that a player nickname *a* after catching it.

## Effects

*a* is generally stable and rarely causes lasting damage to save files. There are a few potential hazards, however.

If *a* is raised to either level 13 or level 42 and stops leveling up at either of those levels, then the game may freeze or the screen may go blank. Like many glitch Pokémon, *a* may also attempt to learn glitch moves such as "TM25" (which is not TM25 Thunder—the attack is actually named "TM25"); teaching or using these moves can result in a range of unpredictable effects, including crashes.

## Encountering *a*

Like the vast majority of glitch Pokémon, *a* can not be obtained by normal means. It can only be battled with the aid of a cheat device or the third method of the Mew Glitch (using a Special stat of 192).

AG006: A Poached Ego!

Dec-26-2002

**Poached Ego!** is the sixth episode of Pokémon: Advanced Generation. Jessie and James have to release Arbok and Weezing in order to save them. Unlike any other episodes Jessie and James had more screen time than Ash, Brock, May, and Max did.

## Synopsis

Our heroes are headed for Rustboro City, where Ash hopes to have his first real gym battle in Hoenn. Team Rocket is making their way along the same path when they stumble upon a cage full of Ekans. Jessie is delighted that their work has been done for them and orders Arbok to attack. Arbok can't manage to attack the helpless Ekans, however, because it remembers when it used to be an Ekans. Jessie is sympathetic. James soon makes a similar concession when they find a cage of Koffing that Weezing will not hurt. The cages belong to a poacher named Rico who uses his Fearow and Pupitar to chase off Team Rocket. Team Rocket returns to the scene, now hoping to free the Ekans and Koffing. Things turn dangerous when Rico's Pupitar evolves into a Tyranitar, and Team Rocket is forced to make the ultimate sacrifice for the Pokémon that they love.﻿

Action Replay

The **Action Replay** is a cheat device for Pokémon games and other Nintendo DS games. You can use it on Visual Boy Advance as well, adding the cheats to the Gameshark list. Action Replay can also be used for the Nintendo Gamecube. The Action Replay DS and Action Replay Max (For GameCube) work in the same way, requiring a master code for every game, the the Action Replay DS Hardware is much more sensitive physically and through software. Even small impacts are capable of rendering the ARDS cartridge useless. It is not recommended that you use an Action Replay, seeing as it has been known to create glitches in your game, completely delete all save data, as well as messing up your game console. A 3DS AR cartridge has yet to be released nor announced, although anticipated by some.

AG058: All Torkoal, No Play

Jan-8-2004

On their way back to Mauville City, Ash and friends travel through the Valley of Steel, home of many different kinds of Steel Pokémon and a potential shortcut to Mauville City and then Petalburg City. On their way through, they come across a Torkoal being attacked by several Steel Pokémon. After using Pikachu to scare the Pokémon away, the Fire-type hears a noise, also scaring it off.

3TrainerPoké

**3TrainerPoké** is a Glitch Pokémon exclusive to *Pokémon Yellow* that can be obtained by trading an 'M (with hex `00`) from Pokémon Red and Blue. It is relatively unstable.

## Details

3TrainerPoké's sprite, like those of most glitch Pokémon, is composed of scrambled bits of data. Its color palette consists of yellow, red, white,black and some green.

3TrainerPoké's glitch effects are limited and generally do no severe damage. It does retain the oddities common to many glitch Pokémon, including instant corruption of a player's Hall of Fame. It also evolves oddly; at level one, it can evolve into Kangaskhan, and at level 128, it can evolve into a Clefairy. It is hard to actually witness these evolutions, however, due to 3TrainerPoké's stats and level change at random.

## Encountering 3TrainerPoké

Barring the use of cheat devices, 3TrainerPoké can only be obtained by trading an 'M from *Pokémon Red* or *Blue*. This is because its hex identifier is `00`; no unaltered Pokémon can have a Special stat of 0 (rendering the Mew Glitch useless here) and no text character has a character code of 0 (rendering the Old Man trick useless here).

## Trivia

* 3TrainerPoké's Pokédex number is used by Togetic in later generations.

AG082: A Shroomish Skirmish

June 24, 2004

## Summary

The episode begins with Ash and friends having their lunch. Corphish steals Torchic's food, which of course starts a fight. Pikachu tries to stop it and everyone gets shocked by him. That doesn't seem to stop the fighting. Meanwhile, Team Rocket are starving. Wobbuffet "finds" some fruit, which in turn leads to an argument. It does not turn into a fight because Team Rocket then realized Wobbuffet got the fruit from a group of Shroomish. Team Rocket then fight the Pokémon off-screen for the fruit. Finally, the Pokémon belonging to Ash and friends stop their fighting and are summarily told off by their Trainers.

Team Rocket ate the apples they've stolen the Shroomish have gotten angry and evolve into Breloom. While running, Team Rocket run straight into Ash and friends. They launch into their now-familiar motto, stop briefly to steal more food, and then resume the motto from where they left off earlier. However, the angry Breloom have followed them and proceed to use Mach Punch on everyone.

Everyone blasts off! May and Mudkip land together on a tree branch hanging above a large, deep ravine. Torchic, crying, lands with Corphish and follows the Pokémon as it leads them away. Ash and Brock land together somewhere in a forest with Pikachu and Swellow. The two Pokémon are then instructed to search for the others, but only seconds later, Ash and Brock are again attacked by the Breloom. Ash wants to fight but Brock doesn't, and they both flee.

## Quotes

* James: "What did they say?"

Meowth : "(Translating for Breloom)Not a bad punch. (Translating for Combusken) Yours too."

## Lyrics

### English

(I'll get you, Pokémon!)

Even if in fire, in water, in grass, in forests
In ground, in clouds, in that girl's skirt (eek!)

It's very, very,
Very, very difficult but
I'm sure I'll get you!
I'll get you, Pokémon!

Farewell, bye-bye, Pallet Town
I'm leaving on a journey with him (Pikachu!)
Racking up wins with the moves we've trained
Making friends, and then off to the next city

Always and forever doing well
Though there's no guarantee of that... (That's true!)
Forever and always, I'll live true
Because they're here

Even if in fire, in water, in grass, in forests
In ground, in clouds, in that girl's skirt (You're persistent!)

It's very, very,
Very, very difficult but
I'm sure I'll get you!
I'll get you, Pokémon!

Tired from battling, good night, good night
If I close my eyes, it all comes back (Pikachu?)
How flames burned, winds blew
Roars echoed, in that battle

An enemy yesterday is a friend today
Though there is such an old saying... (What do you mean by "old"?!)
A friend today is also a friend tomorrow
Yeah, and for all eternity

Ah! I long to be a Pokémon master
I want to be, I have to be
I know I'll be one!

Dreams will someday become reality
Though someone sang that...
Like a bud that will someday bloom
My dream will come true

Always and forever doing well
Though there's no guarantee of that... (That's true!)
Forever and always, I'll live true
Because they're here

Ah! I long to be a Pokémon master
I want to be, I have to be
I know I'll be one!

Ah! I long to be a Pokémon master
I want to be, I have to be
I know I'll be one!
