Ep 19. Show Me the Metal!
The episode titled "Show Me the Metal!" follows Ash and his friends as they enter the Iron City, a place known for its high-tech advancements. While there, they attend a special competition called the "Iron Runner" race, where trainers and their Pokemon compete to see who can navigate the city's obstacle-filled course the fastest.
The team splits up to explore the city, with Ash and Pikachu stumbling upon a group of trainers who are practicing their racing skills. The team is impressed by their speed and skill, but they soon discover that the trainers have a secret weapon: a rare metal called Ironite that boosts their Pokemon's performance.
Meanwhile, Misty and Brock meet a young scientist named Aurora, who tells them that Ironite is a new invention that she and her team have been developing. The metal's unique properties make it highly sought after, but Aurora is determined to make sure that it is only used for ethical purposes.
As the race begins, Ash and his friends notice that several of the competing trainers are using Ironite to cheat and gain an unfair advantage.

In the end, the team emerges victorious, with Ash and Pikachu leading the pack to victory in the Iron Runner race. The episode ends with Ash and his friends saying goodbye to Aurora and promising to visit Iron City again soon.
