it is a great book and I really enjoyed reading it from cover to cover, again and again. I'm looking forward to getting some more of these books. I think this book is for children who like exciting characters and lots of action, But the Battle with Richie Sadly set the tone for Ash's career as a Pokémon Trainer.

This is the first book I remember reading by myself, so it had to be good if I remember it 20+ years later, right?

This is by far the best book in this series so far and not just because it features arguably the coolest pokemon. The story actually gives us a full story arc, showing how Ash came to own a Charmander...how it evolved into Charmelon, showed Charizard and the volcano badge and concluded with the plot about his difficulties with Charizard..which bring the story back to the beginning in the final round of the pokemon tournament. Lots of action, this is what every pokemon book should be like.
