Customer Review: Another three Johto League fillers
I do not own this video but I have seen all the episodes and, to be honest, they’re not that great.

1. We start off with The Stolen Stones which isn’t a bad filler, probably the best on the video. Ash and co. meet up with a brother and sister who run an Archanine delivery service. Team Rocket steal some evolution stones from them and it’s up to Ash and friends to get them back. This one is quite memorable for Team Rocket’s antics. They get quite a bit of screentime.

2. Next up is Ariados Amigos, the worst on the video in my opinion. Our heroes meet up with Aya from Fushia City gym again and she teaches them about Pok mon jujitsu. Yawn.

3. Finally, a cutesy episode - Apple Corp - ends the video. Ash and friends visit an orchard were Pichu are stealing apples. If you are a Pikachu or Pichu fan you will probably enjoy it. I don’t mind it too much.

Overall, not a great offering. I’d wait for a video with more gym episodes. Filler episodes (which these three are) never affect the storyline so you aren’t missing anything at all.
