We're one episode away from episode 250!  And, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Ash Ketchum!  Yay!

This episode not only goes up late, but also has a bunch of rain and thunder in the background.  I tried to edit it out, but that effort ended up being futile.  So, enjoy today's episode with a hefty dose of ambience.  Ash, Brock and Misty meet the sister of an old friend, explore an ice cave, and fall into a lot of hole traps.  Tune in to hear them save the day!

An evolution takes place on one of our main character's teams, but it's not quite what anyone expected.  An old item most of us forgot about gets put in play, and Team Rocket dusts off the ol' fortune teller disguise.  And the final battle is kind of unusual...
