- September 13, 2003
In Pokemon the Series season 5 episode 54, titled Address Unknown!, Ash, Misty, and Brock continue their journey towards Olivine City when they stumble upon an abandoned mail truck. While exploring the truck, they come across hundreds of undelivered letters. Brock, being the romantic he is, insists on delivering these letters to their rightful owners. Along with Ash and Misty, Brock sets out on a mission to deliver the letters, no matter how long it takes.
Their first stop is a nearby town, where they discover that the letters belong to a mysterious woman named Marion, who used to work as a mail carrier. She disappeared several years ago, leaving behind a trail of undelivered mail. The trio sets out to find Marion and deliver her letters. However, they soon discover that Marion is not an easy person to find. Many people in the town have heard of her, but no one seems to know where she is or what happened to her.
As Ash and his friends continue their search, they encounter several obstacles along the way, from angry townspeople to a raging river. But they remain determined to locate Marion and deliver her letters. They eventually come across an old abandoned building, where they find Marion's long-lost stash of mail. While sorting through the letters, they discover a clue that leads them to a nearby village.
Once in the village, they finally come face to face with Marion. Surprisingly, Marion is not at all the person they expected her to be. She is not an elderly woman as they thought, but a young girl who's been living alone in the village for years. Marion explains that she left her job as a mail carrier because she could no longer handle the overwhelming amount of letters she had to deliver, and she didn't want to let down any more people. Ash, Misty, and Brock are touched by Marion's story, and they hand over the letters. Marion is overjoyed to receive the letters and reads each one with great anticipation.
As the episode draws to a close, Ash and his friends bid farewell to Marion and continue their journey towards Olivine City, feeling happy to have been a part of such a heartwarming experience.
