Pokemon Journeys Season 3: Mew's Pokemon Johto Journey

Episode 51: Type Casting

Mew and her friends continue on their journey to Ecruteak gym in Ecruteak City. And soon, they come across a large river, and it looks too wide and deep to win.

"How do we get across this river, Brock?" Tomo asks.

Looking at the guide book, Brock says, "The map says there's a bridge nearby."

Soon, the group hears something and looks to see the bridge is actually under construction as the men work on it.

Mew calls out, and asks, "Uh, excuse me, sir. Is there a bridge near here?

"It was right where you're standing before the typhoon hit last month and the river washed it away," The worker says.

Everyone is shocked to hear the news.

"Washed it away?!" Misty asks

"Yep, we lost every bridge on the river," The worker says. "But I got my construction team here fast and we started to rebuild this one first. We should have this one back up in about six months."

Everyone is even more distressed hearing the estimated time it may take to fix the bridge.

Meanwhile, up in the sky, Team Rocket searches the forest below.

Jessie spots the river, "There it is! I think we should go straight up the river."

"And so do da cops," Meowth says.

Jessie turns her head, "James, what's taking so long? Aren't those potatoes ready yet?"

It's revealed that James is holding some potatoes on a skewer over the fire providing the hot air balloon with hot air.

"Not yet, Jess," James answers.

Jessie asks, "Can't you hurry it up a little?"

"Hey, maybe dey'll cook faster if we toin da fire higher," Meowth says.

And James says, "Great idea."

James does just that, but the entire balloon disintegrates as a result, resulting in the team plummets to the ground with a boom.

"That was a great idea," Jessie says, sarcastically.

"Are the spuds done?" Meowth asks.

"Well done," James says, holding the burnt spuds.

Back at the river, Mew and the others are trying to find a way to get across.

"How are we going to cross the river?" Molly asks.

Misty says, "There must be some way to get across."

Soon, Pikachu spots something, "Pika Pika!" (Look over there!)

Mew and the others look to see a fisherman.

"We're in luck!" Mew says.

Soon, Mew and her friends rush over to get the fisherman's attention.

Mew calls out, "Excuse me! We're Pokémon trainers and we're trying to get across!

"Could you take us over in your boat, please?" Misty calls out.

The fisherman calls out, "Be glad to! But before I do, maybe one of you trainers could catch me a Sudowoodo!"

"A Sudowoodo?" Jen questions.

"Yes. The Sudowoodo is a very rare kind of Pokémon. They say you can find them up on that mountain there, but I have never seen one. A whole group of Pokémon trainers might have a better chance catching a Sudowoodo than me," the fisherman says.

Mew look at her Pokedex.

"Let's see what Dexter says," Misty says.

Mew then looks at the picture to see what Sudowoodo looks like. Sudowoodo is a Pokémon that has a brown, log-shaped body with yellow spots. It has short legs with toeless feet, and thin forelegs with three green spheres at the ends of its fingers. It has a forked "branch" on top of its head, which is shorter on the female than on the male. Despite its appearance, Sudowoodo's composition is closer to a rock than a plant. Originally, it was incorrectly believed to be a Grass-type.
