Pokemon Season 1 Episode 8 - The Path to the Pokémon League
After receiving his second badge, Ash sets off triumphantly for
Vermilion City. Along the way, they hear of a trainer named A.J. - a
fierce Pokémon trainer who has never lost a match. Full of
self-confidence from his own record of ten victories in a row, Ash heads
directly for the gym to find his new opponent. When they arrive, a huge
bulletin is in front of the gym with a neon sign declaring “98
Consecutive Victories” appeal to Ash’s over-confidence. A.J. is on the
brink of achieving his goal of 100 straight victories, after which he
will embark on a journey to gather badges. Will victory fall on the side
of Ash and his 10 straight victories or with A.J. and his string of 98?
In the process, will Ash learn some important lessons about the bonds
between Pokémon and trainer?
