Product Review
Pokemon - Fighting Tournament contains 3 episodes: first in The Punchy Pokemon", Ash enters Primeape in a tournament for fighting pokemon; next in "Sparks Fly For Magnamite" a group of Grimer and Muk cause a power shortage in Gringy City and it up to Ash and his friends to save the sick pokemon at the pokemon center; then in "Dig Those Digglet" Ash and his friends run into his rival Gary, but theres no time for a pokemon battle they have to solve a problem with Digglet and Dugtrio first.
At last, Ash has earned his Marsh Badge! After overcoming a few Primape Problems, he also has a new Pokmon under his belt. But he's still falling behind the other trainer hopefuls. So Ash, Misty, and Brock hit the road once again on their quest to defeat and capture more Pokmon. This time, their journey leads to the Fighting Spirit Gym, where our gang pits their fighters against such nasties as Machop, Hitmonlee, and Hitmonchan. The kids even manage to enlighten an overworked trainer who's been neglecting his family. Next they travel to Gringy City, a dank, smelly town on the verge of disaster. Thanks to Pikachu's magnetism, the town is restored and Ash collects a rather stinky reward. Finally, lost somewhere in the mountains, the trio solves a mystery involving a band of mole-like Diglett and the dam project the little diggers keep thwarting. This standard sampling of Pokmon fare includes all the split-screen action, vibrant--sometimes psychedelic--animation, and nicely paced story lines of its other TV episode collection thats fan will enjoy!
