Last week we saw Ash and the party run into another sidewinder of a story arc, on their way to Azalea Town. When the group is feeling parched they stumbled across a water pipe to drink from, where they meet Sonrisa, who fills their canteens and leads them to Bloomingvale. Once in town we learn about the Sunflora Festival and how the town specializes in Training them. The festival shows us many Sunflora which of course attracted Team Rocket, who disguise Meowth and enter him into the contest. This led to us seeing a different side of Meowth, but not before an all out battle and an appearance from the famous Meowth Balloon. We also had an appearance with Madame Muchmoney’s Snubble, who almost seems like a walking easter egg at this point. 

We will have to see if today’s episode actually results in the party making it to Azalea town! Let’s jump in!

After last week’s trek to Charicific Valley, we have another unique episode that focuses on a specific Pokémon. Grin to Win takes us to Bloomingvale where we meet Sonrisa and a town filled with Sunflora Trainers. With the Sunflora Festival bringing everyone together for a Pokémon Contest, Team Rocket creates a plan for Meowth to enter, as a Sunflora! The Shenanagans ensue and we see a side of Meowth like never before! We climax with an epic battle where multiple Team Rocket Pokémon make an appearance, and we see Chikorita competing with Pikachu for MVP!

Gotta Watch’em All Podcast 130 - Charizard’s Burning Ambitions

Recording Date: 1/19/2026

After last episode’s battle with the Arbotank, Team Rocket is going to have to pull something out really bug, I mean, big, if they want to take on the twerps! This time we see the party continuing on their journey when they stumble upon Charicific Valley, which you guessed it, is filled with Charizard. We meet Liza, and her Charizard Charla, who operates a Charizard Sanctuary with a unique approach to training Charizards.

While Brock falls in love, we see Ash put his Charizard to the test in both battle and loyalty. Ash feels a bit too over confident, and we see that his Charizard isn’t as formidable as he thinks. There are many clashes between Charizard, with some that are nearly twice the size of Ash’s. 

Team Rocket shows up not with an Arbotank, but with a giant Big Catcher trojan horse abomination, as they shift their sights from Pikachu to Charizard. We get to see a bit of Jesse and James’ softer sides, as they actually end up cheering for Ash’s Charizard in battle. That is of course, until they get blasted off… again.

Gotta Watch’em All Podcast 128: For Crying Out Loud

Recording Date - 12/15/25

Publish Date - 12/19/25

As we settle back in to releasing the Podcast, we have figured out what our plan is for episodes going forward. Starting next week with Episode 129, audio podcasts will be released on all platforms and the video podcast will be available on Patreon!

In this week’s episode we are watching, “For Crying Out Loud”, which brings our party back out on the adventurous path. With Ash feeling confident after defeating Falkner and earning the Zephyr Badge, this episode gives Misty a shot to show us what she is made of. When a wild Marill crosses paths with the group, it takes them on a fun side quest where they meet Wilhomena, who Brock of course immediately falls for.

Team Rocket makes two appearances this episode and we do get some solid battling, with Misty showing that she has earned Pikachu’s respect by leading it in a battle. This episode gives us a bit of everything, from humor to action. This fun detour will lead us to Ash and crew soon reaching Azalea Town, which is the next Gym on Ash’s radar.

For Crying Out Loud

Japan Air: 1/27/2000

US Air: 1/20/2001
