This book is so wonderful! It is indeed one of my favorite books!
It is about Ash and his friends in the Grandpa Canyon. Team Rocket exploded the canyon suddenly, which sent some of them into the cave below the earth's crust. In this book, a Pokemon, Charmeleon evolved into a Charizard! And, an extinct Pokemon, Aerodactyl came back to life! It has an amazing story plot. At the end, they received an egg which looks so special. If you read books after this one, you will realize that a Togepi hatched out.

Being attacked by a supposedly extinct Pokemon, and acquiring a rare egg Pokemon? All in a day's work for Ash Ketchum, who strives to be the World's Best Pokemon Master.

I kinda feel sorry for poor Jigglypuff, who feels like no-one listens to her song, because she doesn't understand that her beautiful song puts everyone to sleep.

I bought this at a book fair 20ish years ago and just read it to my daughter. Much nostalgia.

Action-packed and surprisingly entertaining given my complete lack of interest in Pokémon (coupled with my 6-year-old son’s immense interest who read most of it with me).

This, along with a few others from the series, were very important to me as a kid. I utterly adored Pokémon. It made reading more interesting, too. I even chose particular words in these books as spelling lessons. I'll always remember you, early 2000s Scholastic Pokémon books.

Charmeleon evolving was peak.

Reading dates are very general and vague, but chosen specifically just for my organisation.

Archaelogical Pokemon Adventure

Loved this Chapter book on Pokemon!!! Ash & Friends go on an Archaelogical Dig to win a contest on Fossil Digs. They end up having a blast and towards the end an extremely rare Pokemon that we don't have much info on at the beginning of the Pokemon series in general ^_^

This Book was filled with Action & Adventure, Fun & Comical Read ^_^

Read with my son when he was in first grade.* He loved Pokemon (was there a kid who didn't?) and we read together.

*He had to keep a reading log and I just found this when going through storage tubs.

Definitely better than book 2. I love the terrible quality pictures lifted from the cartoon, reminds me of printing stuff out in black and white in 1997

This is the chapter book version, of Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu's adventure in Grandpa Canyon. The basic story is the same as the picture book version, but there is far more detail, including more Pokémon battles and what happened with the egg.
