Judgement Day! (Japanese: あの三匹登場！審判学校の島！ Enter Those Three! Referee School Island!) is episode 92 of Advanced Generation. It was first broadcast in Japan on September 2, 2004 and in the United States on September 10, 2005.
Synopsis
Thanks to Archaic for the synopsis.
The episode opens with Ash and company running to catch a boat. Unfortunately, they manage to get aboard the wrong boat, and eventually reach land, where they see Ivysaur, Charmeleon, and Wartortle. May can't identify the Pokémon properly, and Max seems to be having problems with Wartortle. Ash then explains that in his home region of Kanto, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle are the starter Pokémon. Ash and company are then enlisted to help teach some starting trainers. Team Rocket has managed to follow them using their Magikarp submarine. Meowth again has a strange dream or vision about how kind the boss would be to them if they succeed in this mission.
The instruction given to the new trainers has apparently taken the form of a battle between Ash and Brock. Ash orders Swellow to do an Aerial Ace attack, which is an impressive display. However, Brock has a few tricks up his sleeve, and this apparently involves his Pokémon playing dead. The end result is that Ash wins the battle. Brock, realizing that his Pokémon should have been flagged out, does this to test Jimmy's refereeing skills. The trainer they're instructing, named Jimmy, seems to completely underestimate the Pokémon being used, and also appears to be rather indecisive. His teacher, Sarina, scolds him quite forcefully at one point. She went on to say that though he's still studying and will make mistakes sometimes, he can't be so indecisive about his calls. Whether right or wrong, a referee must appear confident.
However, Jimmy does have three advanced Pokémon and he attracts the attention of the group while he's outside after nightfall, apparently brooding. A discussion ensues and, in the distance, a rather obvious Team Rocket mecha drives up on the beach. Jimmy tells the group that he traded a gold Magikarp for his Charmeleon. He has a Cascade Badge, and Ash tells him that he must be a pretty good trainer. Jimmy then explains that this was given to him by Daisy for cleaning the Gym and pool; the Gym Leader, Misty, was away when he visited Cerulean City. Jimmy's had a long streak of bad luck. He states that the only reason he's on this island is because the dinghy he was sleeping in drifted away from shore and landed here.
The mecha that Team Rocket are using is interesting; it seems to be able to hold the captured Pokémon better than previous mechas. They swoop in and capture Jimmy's Pokémon (however, they didn't try for Pikachu), and he runs after them. Somehow, he gets atop the mecha and tries to free his Pokémon with a sharp rock. But he is easily knocked off the mecha.
Jimmy is treated to a moralizing, somewhat preachy speech from his teacher before trying again to free his Pokémon from the mecha. The Pokémon are trying to free themselves from their Pokéballs. Wartortle evolves into Blastoise in anger and is able to break free from the small containment chamber. Team Rocket once again are blasted off.
Jimmy then decides to return to Minamon. Ash and company hire a boat and get back on course to their next city of choice (and gym badge, in Ash's case).
