Translation edits

In the VIZ Media translation, Clefairy Tale is published as chapter two and Play Misty For Me is published as chapter three. This creates a continuity error, as Ash uses his Butterfree in Clefairy Tale, which supposedly hasn't evolved yet as it evolves in Play Misty For Me. The reason for this is because before the graphic novel was released, each chapter was published as an American-style comic book issue. After controversy from the first issue/chapter being released relatively uncut, the second chapter was pushed back to the third issue so that more editing could be done.
