Ep 31. Fit to Be Tide!
Ash, Misty, and Tracey are still making their way through the beautiful Orange Islands. In this episode, they arrive at a picturesque island that is home to a unique and popular gym. The gym leader, Danny, is known for his intense water-themed training sessions. However, there is a problem – Danny is missing!
As they explore the island, they meet a group of local kids who are obsessed with surfing and water sports. The kids explain that they have been getting their training from a new gym leader, who they call "Nurse Joy 2." This strikes Ash and his friends as odd, as they know that Nurse Joy is a nurse, not a gym leader.
The group finds the gym and meets Nurse Joy, who is indeed a nurse and not a gym leader. She explains that Danny had a serious accident and is now recovering in the hospital. She has taken over the gym temporarily but knows very little about training water-type Pokémon.
Ash and his friends volunteer to help Nurse Joy with the gym, especially since they are all experienced trainers with water-type Pokémon. The group takes charge of training the kids and helping them master their water skills. There are lots of fun and entertaining training exercises, some of which involve riding high-speed rapids and attempting huge jumps over the water.
During all the training, Ash and his friends begin to suspect something is amiss with Nurse Joy's Pokémon. There is something off about their behavior, and they seem to be extra competitive and aggressive. Furthermore, Ash can't shake the feeling that he has met Nurse Joy somewhere before, but he can't place her.
As the group continues to test their water skills through high-intensity training, they discover that Danny's accident was not an accident after all. Someone had sabotaged Danny's equipment, causing him to tumble over a dangerous waterfall. Could "Nurse Joy 2" be the culprit?
In the end, Ash and his friends must confront the truth behind Nurse Joy's strange behavior and discover what she is really up to. Are they in danger, or can they solve the mystery before it's too late?
Overall, this episode is filled with fun, fast-paced water action, and exciting plot twists. Viewers will be on the edge of their seats as Ash and his friends work to uncover the truth behind Nurse Joy and her Pokémon, all while training and mastering their own water skills. If you're a Pokémon fan or just love a good adventure story, Fit to Be Tide is an episode you won't want to miss!
