Editorial Review:
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
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?!

Rating:  - Shocking
Before Pokemon Advanced this was my favorite episode. It takes place when Ash and friends (Misty and Brock) finally reach a city. Misty wants to go to a bubblebath and Brock wants to see a navigator. But Ash zips off to the gym! Finally though his friends convivnce him that the pokemon center would be a better place to crash. Pikachu is all healed, eating an apple, seeming fine, but suddenly a pidgey and ratata are rushed into the emergency room. They had been seriously hurt by the gym leader's ... Read More
Rating:  - The perfect combination of Funny and cool!
I've never seen the movie it's self,but I saw it on Kids WB once and really liked it! Although Ash lost to Lt. surge at first later he figured out Lt. Surges Raichu never learned the evasive attacks(Agility and Double team)when it was still a Pikachu so Ash's Pikachu kept Dodging Raichu so Raichu eventually ran out of attacks and Ash's Pikachu quicky knocked it out!!! One of the funniest things about this episode was Team Rocket was constantly cheering Ash's Pikachu on because they knew if it could ... Read More
Rating: - Another Poke triumph!
The episode "Battle Aboard the St. Anne" has really made me wonder about James ... I think he needs therapy. Then again, he wouldn't be half as funny as he is if he were well-adjusted.
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 ... Read More
Rating: - Coolest Episode Ever
I think the episode Mystery at the Lighthouse on the Thunder Shock video is my favorite because Ash catches a Krabby. Also in that episode they meet a Pokemaniac named Bill and he's looking for a Pokemon called Dragonite.It has amazing powers.It's very good and people will feel a little sad after they watch it.I hope you'll watch it. .
Rating:  - Do not get this!
If you are getting this for a child,think about it. Kids will probably watch it 1-5 times. Save your money and buy someone Monty Python,Quest for the Holy Grail. It is a show that you can watch 100 times. It will get there minds off of Pokemon. You have probably all ready spent a lot money on pokemon stuff. And they barely play with it.
