The time has finally come. After what felt like an eternity, Ash and friends finally arrive at Goldenrod City. Ash wastes no time and heads straight to the Gym, only to find a note on the door stating that the Gym was closed. With a Gym battle no longer on the agenda, the crew decides to explore the city where they meet Whitney. Yes, the notorious Whitney from the main series games, and yes, she has her Milltank.
Team Rocket doesn’t have too much screen time in this episode, with an act one blast off with no return to the screen. We do get to see Whitney’s Clefairy use Metronome, which is a ton of fun to see. After blasting off Team Rocket, the truth comes out that Whitney is in fact the Gondenrod City Gym Leader, and before long, the stage is set for an official Johto League Gym Battle.
Ash’s Cyndaquil makes quick work of Whitney’s Nidorina, so she brings out Clefairy and immediately uses Metronome.This episode ends up being filled with action and great visuals, and some pretty aggressive battling. Once Whitney’s Milltank enters the battlefield, things turn sharply in her favor. We all learned how nasty Roll Out is, with Milltank taking out Ash’s team, leaving Ash needing a rematch.
