This book made me laugh a lot. I love Ash's Lapras! It's very cute. This story is about Ash competing in different gym challenges, which are different from normal ones. The gyms in Kanto are basically all gym battles which require trainers to battle the gym leaders. In order to get the badges, they must win the battle. In the other hand, gyms in Orange Island requires trainers to work with their Pokemon in a team, which interested me a lot.
I love reading through these books. Still makes me think of watching the show everytime i read with my kids. Helps fill the void of not watching the shows currently.
Much better than the other books I have read in the series. The plot actually moved forward and it wasn't as dull or annoying with personalities, plot, or setting.
