Ep 20. All Fired Up!

Ash, Misty, and Brock are travelling through Johto on their way to the next gym when they come across a town full of firefighters. They soon discover that the town is having a massive problem with fires, and all of the local firefighters are working around the clock to put them out. The trio decides to lend a hand, eager to help out wherever they can.

While helping to clear debris from a burned-out building, Ash discovers a new Pokemon - a Chikorita that has been injured in the flames. Ash brings the Pokemon to a local Pokemon Center, where it is treated and given a clean bill of health. The Chikorita, grateful to Ash for rescuing it, decides to join his team.

As they continue to help out with the fires, the trio discovers that the blazes are more than just accidents - they're being set intentionally by a group of Pokemon poachers. The poachers are using the fires to drive out rare Pokemon from the nearby forest, then capturing them and selling them on the black market. Ash and his friends are determined to put a stop to the poachers' destructive plan.

With the help of their own Pokemon, as well as some of the town's firefighters, the trio sets out to catch the poachers in the act. They manage to track down the group to the heart of the forest, where they've set up a trap to catch the rare Pokemon that have been driven out by the fires.

In a thrilling showdown, Ash and his friends manage to free the captured Pokemon and defeat the poachers. However, in the chaos of the battle, the forest catches fire once again. This time, the trio must work even harder to put out the flames and save the remaining Pokemon in the area.

Despite the challenges, Ash and his friends are able to save the day once again. With the poachers apprehended and the fires put out, the town is able to rest easy knowing that their beloved forest and its Pokemon are safe once again. And as a bonus, Ash gains a new friend in his Chikorita, who proves to be a powerful and loyal addition to his team.
