I love how his theme is just Pokemon that holds thing, that’s so funny.

Another enjoyable volume which showcases Henry's second gym challenge followed by a battle with Bede, although while time is focused upon Henry, there isn't as much focus on Casey. It makes sense that her time is focused on recovering his missing Pokémon, but they glossed over her gym challenge again and an important event which occurred during that. It's a shame considering Casey is a co-lead in this series.

Felt like it was too quick to read, which could have to do with the amount of action as well as the smaller scale of this volume.
Other than that complaint, however, it was a nice read and left on a cliffhanger.
