The Trainer's Guide

It’s the season of love and it’s time for Butterfree to find a love of its own! We join our trainers as they take to the sky to help Ash’s Butterfree find a mate. Could this be popped in instead? But the path to true love never did run smooth and soon all the Butterfree are caught in Team Rocket’s sinister net. 

In this episode we discuss love in all of its forms and how sometimes you have to let go of the things you love the most. We also talk about Leap Day, Rent the musical, and the best place to hire a hot air balloon in the middle of nowhere!
