Pokemon Season 1 Episode 9 - The School of Hard Knocks

⁣Our three heroes have lost their way in the depths of a dense wood,
shrouded in thick, white mist. Momentarily giving up, they decide to
break for a brief rest. As Ash wanders deeper into the wood, searching
for firewood, he happens across a young boy being bullied by five
classmates gathered around him. Eavesdropping on their conversation, Ash
learns that the boys are attending a preparatory school for Pokémon
trainers. Graduates from the school are automatically qualified to
participate in the Pokémon League without undergoing any actual test of
skill. Ash, Misty, and Brock head to the school and don’t agree with
some of their ideas of training, something their “leader” doesn’t take
well.
