“Riddle Me This” finds Ash on his way to the island of Cinnabar to win his volcano badge, but when he, Misty, and Brock arrive, they discover that tourism has taken over the island, leaving only a dilapidated, deserted gym. When Togepi chances upon a secret entrance to the island’s volcano, the group finds a secret Pokemon gym headed by the riddle-loving Pokemon master Blaine. Do Squirtle, Charizard, and Pikachu stand a chance against Blaine’s arsenal of fire Pokemon? “Volcanic Panic” begins with Ash’s admission of defeat–he just can’t sacrifice Pikachu in the hopes of winning his seventh badge. The evil Team Rocket has followed Ash’s group to the volcano and is plotting to freeze and capture Blaine’s fire Pokemon Magmar. You’ll never guess which of Ash’s Pokemon helps thwart Team Rocket’s attempt, saves the island from a deadly volcanic eruption, and eventually defeats Magmar in a badge-winning battle. Ash’s plans to return to the Viridian City for his eighth badge are interrupted in “Beach Blank-Out Blastoise,” when the group encounters a frantic Wartortle that leads them to the Island of Turtle Pokemon. Upon their arrival, the group encounters a host of sleeping turtles and a snoozing Blastoise. It seems that Jigglypuff has become wedged in the Blastoise’s water cannon and is putting everyone to sleep. Can Squirtle and Pikachu wake up the island and save the Blastoise from Team Rocket? Parents concerned about violence should, of course, be vigilant. (Ages 5-10) –Tami Horiuchi
