'''The Mandarin Island Miss Match''' (Japanese: '''してんのうカンナ！こおりのたたかい！！''' ''{{tt|Shitennō|Elite Four}} {{tt|Canna|Lorelei}}! Ice Battle!!'') is the 99th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on June 3, 1999 and in the United States on April 15, 2000.  

Prima continues to watch as Tauros uses {{m|Take Down}}. Charizard then uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, knocking out Tauros in one hit. He then {{m|Fly|flies}} into the air and attempts to burn everything in sight. Ash tries to call it back, but the beam from the [[Poké Ball]] misses. When Ash gets Flamethrowered again, Prima is forced to intervene, sending out her {{p|Slowbro}}, who uses {{m|Disable}}, immobilizing Charizard in midair. It then brings it down to the ground, and Ash succeeds in calling it back. Prima asks Ash if he knows what he's doing, and he defends himself by saying that he was in the top sixteen in the [[Indigo League]]. Prima isn't impressed and starts to leave. She turns and asks them all to come to her demonstration later. They enthusiastically accept.

Later, Ash and {{ashfr}} watch Prima battle from the stands of Mandarin Island Stadium. {{TRT}} has also snuck in dressed as food vendors. James now fully recognizes Prima, and they plan to steal her Pokémon. The demonstration goes on for a while and Prima defeats every Pokémon she goes up against. Ash watches intently, determined to try to pick up some tips. After the demonstration, Prima invites Ash and his friends to her house for some tea. As Misty and Tracey thank her for inviting them and rave about her Pokémon, Ash sits in silence. Suddenly, he speaks up and announces his suspicions that Prima is trying to teach him reverse psychology (or '''''perverse''''' psychology, as he calls it). Prima tells them that every person has a particular way of acting in and out of battle. She explains to them that she is like the water. She usually "goes with the flow", but when she's in battle, she becomes as cold as ice. She walks outside, and tells Ash that the most important thing is knowing where your strength lies. Ash may be strong in some ways, but he needs to develop what comes from the inside.

Prima calls back Cloyster, and looks at Pikachu to see if it is okay. She tells Ash that he has the skills he needs to be a Pokémon Master, but he needs to remember that his Pokémon are the ones who win the [[Badge]]s. She tells him that with his Pokémon and friends at his side, he'll always succeed. She then tells him that if he wins all the Gym Badges in the [[Orange League]], he'll be presented with an "Honorable Trainer" trophy. Ash then thanks Prima.

* {{p|Butterfree}} (unnamed {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s; [[List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime#Orange Archipelago Butterfree|Orange Archipelago Variant]])

* {{p|Persian}} (unnamed {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s)

* {{p|Tauros}} (unnamed {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s)

* {{p|Kadabra}} (unnamed {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s)

* {{p|Machamp}} (unnamed {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s)

* {{p|Marowak}} (unnamed {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s)

* [[Professor Oak's lecture]]: <!--Description here.-->

* Despite the fact that both the preceding and succeeding episodes are included, this episode is missing from the U.S. Netflix, likely because of its [[Pokémon controversy#Racism|depiction of Jynx]].

* When Jynx uses {{m|Ice Punch}}, Prima incorrectly orders it to use {{m|Ice Beam}} in the dub.

* In the dub, Lorelei is incorrectly referred to as '''Prima'''. This was likely due to "Lorelei" having an extra syllable over her Japanese name, "Kanna". It is also possible that the writers did not know that she already had an English name.

* A 25-second scene, after Ash suggests that Prima is only denying him a battle because she will lose, was cut in the international dubs. In the original Japanese version, he challenges her to a battle, but she smiles and does not take him seriously, making him blush in embarrassment and anger. Ash then says something inappropriate about Misty in front of Prima. This really angers Misty, she shouts at Ash, and he walks away to find another Trainer to battle. In the versions with the cut, it is simply implied that he feels sorry for her because she didn't accept his challenge.
