Pokemon - Thunder Shock (Vol. 5)
Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Pokémon 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 Pokémon comes to a lonely lighthouse seeking companionship, but the villains of Team Rocket drive off the unique creature before "Pokémon 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 Pokémon 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 Pokémon. 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 Pokémon beyond the known 151. --Charles Solomon
Description
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?!

Shocking.......2005-06-26
The perfect combination of Funny and cool!.......2001-10-04
Another Poke triumph!.......2001-03-05
And of course, for you Pikachu fans, he and Raichu mix it up in "Electric Shock Showdown", the best episode on this DVD. Lt. Surge isn't letting our little yellow guy win easily, but as usual Pika's brains (not Ash's) save the day. (In this one, James and Jesse get weird again with their "Pika cheer". Disturbing yet funny. Maybe these two just didn't get enough love when they were children.)
The third episode, "Mystery At the Lighthouse", is eery and delightfully chilling.
This DVD belongs in every Poke fan's collection!
