This week we battle the Dewford Gym in the Manga and AGAIN in the Anime!

First, in the Manga, the wrong person runs into Steven and Ruby's Pokemon evolve while Sapphire prepares for her gym battle with Brawly.

Then, in the Anime, the final starter Pokemon of Hoenn is met...times a hundred. Corphish causes problems, Birch shows back up, and Jessie is in denial. Through more evolutions and a convergence of the three teams (Aqua, Magma, and Rocket) eventually leads the story back to Brawly and a secret arena where Ash tries again to earn that second badge.

Stay tuned after the show for...Sapphire adventures.
