Movie Reviews of Pokemon - Psychic Surprise (Vol. 7)
Movie Review: Three Creepy Episodes
Summary: 4 Stars
The three episodes on this Pokemon tape are as follows:
"The Ghost of Maiden's Peak"-- Ash, Misty, Brock and of course Team Rocket end up at a seaside town called Maiden's Peak, just in time for the Summer's End Festival.
As it turns out, Brock is feeling rather down because this means he won't get to see any more beach girls for another year (sheesh, what a creep)...
Little does he know what's in store for him. Upon arriving in town, Brock and James both notice a mysterious, beautiful girl standing on the pier. However, just after they see her, they get distracted, and then they notice that the girl has disappeared a few seconds later.
Later on, during the festival, a mysterious old woman informs them that a beautiful woman will lead them to a cruel fate, but she doesn't give any specifics.
Then, as if things weren't strange enough already, our heroes (and Team Rocket) see a painting on display featuring the beautiful girl from the beach. It then turns out that the girl turned to stone thousands of years ago, and that her figure still stands on the pier.
Brock and James go to visit the rock, and are both entranced by it, especially Brock.
In fact, he is so fascinated with the rock that he ends up staying there all evening, and though he tells Ash and Misty he'll come to the Pokemon Center by curfew, he never shows up.
Meanwhile, Jessie and Meowth decide to swipe the painting, but James is still more or less focused on the mystery girl.
During the night, the girl appears as a ghost... and creepy wackiness ensues.
In "Bye Bye Butterfree", it's Butterfree mating season, and Ash decides to let his Butterfree go. However, when Butterfree finds the Butterfree of his dreams, he is rejected, and then as if to make matters worse, Team Rocket steals the entire Butterfree flock. Ultimately, things turn out well, but unfortunately Ash has to release Butterfree into the wild.
I consider this to be the saddest episode in Pokemon history, tying with Pokemon Advanced's "A Poached Ego". Of course it's a good episode, like just about every other, but it's really sad.
In "Abra and the Psychic Showdown", Ash and company are lost in the forest, and after meeting a mysterious little girl, they arrive in Saffron City. They are then promptly caught by yet ANOTHER Team Rocket hoax, but are surprisingly rescued by the little girl, who seems to have supernatural abilities.
Ash then goes to battle the city's Gym Leader, Sabrina, despite the warnings of a mysterious man who says he would do well to stay away.
Upon arriving, Ash finds the mysterious little girl once again, not to mention Sabrina, who is extremely creepy, rather like her Pokemon Abra, who proceeds to evolve during the match and thoroughly defeat Pikachu.
Having been asked by the little girl to "play with her" if they lose the match, our heroes suddenly find themselves in a mysterious house... and upon realising that the house is in fact a dollhouse, they realise that the little girl meant it quite literally. However, they are narrowly rescued by the mysterious man, who also seems to have telekinesis. He tells them to leave Saffron City and never return. However, Ash can't get into the Pokemon League without the Marsh Badge, and seeing how determined he is, the mysterious man advises him to go to Lavender Town and capture a Ghost Pokémon. Later on, he says to himself that perhaps they're the ones who can rescue Sabrina.
In conclusion, this tape is of course good, and I'd recommend it if you're a Pokemon fan.
Summary of Pokemon - Psychic Surprise (Vol. 7)
A ghost appears and lures Brock into her trap! Butterfree falls in love, but Team Rocket is out to steal the entire swarm! Can Butterfree win his mate, and can Ash bear to part with the first Pokemon he ever caught? Psi Pokemon specialize in trickery, but Gym Leader Sabrina and her Pokemon, Abra, are the most devious team ever! Can Ash win the Marsh Badge or will he suffer a worse fate!? Episodes: The Ghost of Maiden's Peak, Bye Bye Butterfree, Abra and the Psychic ShowdownThe adventures of Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu veer toward the supernatural in this set of three episodes of the popular Pokémon series. In "The Ghost of Maiden's Peak," the perennially lonely Brock--and James of the evil but inept Team Rocket--find themselves smitten with the ghost of a beautiful girl who died 2,000 years ago. Ash learns an important lesson about self-sacrifice and concern for others when he gives up the first Pokémon he raised and trained in "Bye Bye Butterfree." Despite the best efforts of Team Rocket, Butterfree finds a mate and departs with her for their nesting grounds, giving this story an uncharacteristically downbeat ending. After being lost in the woods for the umpteenth time, our heroes reach Saffron City only to discover it's a very strange place in "Abra and the Psychic Showdown." They're rescued from their initial run-in with Team Rocket by Sabrina, a pretty little girl with mysterious psychic powers. The quartet learns that Sabrina can be an unreliable ally--and an unpredictable opponent. This cliffhanger ends with Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu setting out for nearby Lavender Village to capture a ghost Pokémon to use against Abra, Sabrina's psychic Pokémon. --Charles Solomon
