And now, join Pokémon Trainer Jed for a non-stop,
action-packed, laugh filled perilous journey.
Turn your hat around, grab your pokeballs, and get ready for the
fantastic Pika Pals podcast, where the excitement never ends.
Welcome to the Pika Pals podcast.
I'm your host, Pokémon Trainer Jed and I thank you for tuning
(00:42):
in. Today on the show we are looking
at Pokémon episode 24, Haunter versus Cadabra.
It's that crazy episode where Sabrina turns Misty and Brock
into living dolls. Lots to talk about on this
episode and I have an interesting Pokémon news story
(01:05):
from the early 2000s, so stay tuned for that.
It's been a few weeks since the last Pica Pals episode, and I
want to start by saying thank you for sticking with me.
You know, life doesn't always goto plan, and even if you try to
plan it perfectly, things can still take a turn.
And that's what happened for me recently.
I've missed a few weeks, not because the Pika Pals podcast
(01:27):
stopped mattering, but just because life got a little heavy
and I needed to take a pause. But instead of beating myself up
for it, thinking I have to startagain and that I've failed, I'm
going to try something new. I'm going to let go of the guilt
and just pick things up back from here.
So today I'm back and I'm excited to dive back into
(01:47):
Pokémon with you. So whether this is your first
listen or you've been with me since episode one, I'm very
grateful for your support. If you didn't notice I was gone,
forget any of that and let's getto it.
(02:09):
OK guys, we're back. It's good to be back.
It's good to be back on the peekof powers podcast.
I am still on my Pokémon Indigo League re watch along revisiting
the early years of Pokémon animeand this week's episode was
Haunter versus Cadabra. The Japanese title for this was
(02:31):
Ghost versus Espa. That's Espa, not Casper Espa the
friendly ghost in some territories.
This was the 24th episode of thePokémon animated series, and it
first aired in Japan on September the 9th, 1997.
(02:52):
It would go on to air in the United States on October the
8th, 1998. So what went down in this
episode? Well, Ash and his friends
returned from Saffron City, Haunter by their side, ready to
battle Cadabra. And just when that was about to
happen, Haunter disappeared, which meant that Ash had to
(03:17):
forfeit and he lost again. The most memorable part of this
episode might be Sabrina turningAsh's friends Brock and Misty
into dolls. You know that those dolls that
you put pins in, what are they called?
They're not torture dolls. They're not pin cushions.
(03:41):
Well, they are pin cushions in away, but you don't really have
them in a sewing kit. Or I suppose you could have that
in a sewing kit. I could definitely see someone
on Etsy selling that doll of Misty as a pincushion.
Voodoo dolls? That's what I'm trying to think
of. Sabrina turned Brock and Misty
into voodoo dolls and she actually threatened to turn Ash
(04:05):
into a voodoo doll as well. She said if she turned them all
into dolls then she could play with them all forever.
Possibly one of the creepiest scenes in the early Pokémon
episodes, but definitely one of the most memorable.
I'm surprised that Pokémon didn't capitalize on the
merchandise of those dolls. I've never seen them for sale
(04:28):
anywhere. I mean, I know you can get the
action figures from the early Pokémon years.
Well, they're kind of action figures, but they're not action
figures because you can't do anything with them.
None of their body parts move, not even their neck moves to
turn their head. They have 0 points of
articulation. So I guess they're not really an
(04:50):
action figure, they're just a figure.
And in a sense, they're kind of like the dolls that Sabrina
threatened to turn Ash into alongside Brock and Misty.
But I, I really think that Pokémon should have capitalized
on those felt dolls. Someone should make them.
If anyone's listening on Etsy, if you know how to do stuff with
(05:10):
felt, get on it. Sell them.
Tell them the Peak Pals podcast sent you.
Anyway, what else happened in this episode?
Oh, yeah? Well, because Haunter had, you
know, left. He disappeared.
Went off to try and make Team Rocket laugh.
Haunter's like a a stand up comedian.
(05:33):
He's just like a stand up comedian of ghosts.
Yet he doesn't stand. He floats a float up comedian.
Not sure now. Eventually Ash found Haunter and
he went back to battle Sabrina once more, but Haunter disappear
again. Haunter is not very consistent.
He is a deadbeat ghost, which isgood actually, because he is
(05:55):
dead. But fool Ash once, shame on Ash,
fool Ash twice, shame on Ash again.
Haunt her up and left, leaving Pikachu to step up to battle
Sabrina's Cadabra. Pikachu trying to protect Ash.
But it wouldn't go to plan. It looked like Sabrina was going
(06:20):
to end up with a full set of Pokémon dolls that would have
been worth some money if she'd kept hold of them.
However, in the end, Haunter would make Sabrina and Cadabra
laugh, making them laugh so muchthat they were actually unable
(06:41):
to battle Cadabra. He didn't get knocked out, he
didn't get poisoned, He didn't even go to sleep.
He literally laughed himself into defeat.
But it was nice. It was a nice nice scene.
Sabrina's dad was there, she wassmiling, she was smiling like
(07:01):
she means it, she was smiling like she Sabrinas it.
And it was a nice family scene to see Sabrina find some
happiness, find some peace and actually haunt her.
Would stay around with Sabrina and family but I just want to
give you a warning. Don't be surprised if Haunter
(07:22):
ups and leaves. That seems to be what he likes
doing. Due to Cadabra's inability to
compete, Ash would actually win the battle.
Again, another kind of way of Ash winning here in questionable
circumstances, but nonetheless, Ash wins the Marsh badge.
(07:44):
The episode wraps up and we findout that Ash is on his way to
the next gym, hoping to gain another badge.
Stick around for some behind thescenes episode Trivia Rock.
(08:05):
Misty. Oh, they're dolls now.
I'm going to take all of you to dance, right?
Take it easy, please. Wait.
Hey, where'd you come from? Sometimes you've got a retreat
(08:26):
to win teleportation. OK, let's look at some episode
trivia courtesy of Bulbapedia. This episode was partially
adapted into the book Night in the Haunted Tower.
Also, it says here, for unspecified reasons, both
(08:47):
Sabrina and Ash state that Ash caught haunt her in this
episode, but Haunter had not been seen in a poker ball in
either episode. So Haunter was kind of an
unofficial Pokémon capture. He was just going along for the
ride. He was doing Ash a favor,
although he ended up doing him no favors because he bailed on
(09:10):
him. The Marsh Badge that Ash earns
in this episode is his fourth batch.
However, it's a rare deviation from the traditional sequence of
Pokémon Gyms, as the Marsh Badgeis actually the 6th badge that a
player earns in the Pokémon games.
(09:31):
So, slight difference between the Pokémon games and the
animated series when it comes tothe Marsh Badge.
Another fact here it says when James introduces his net tramp,
which I've got a clip of later in this episode.
The music is similar to the music during the battle atop the
(09:54):
AL True Tower in Pokémon Ranger Shadows of Almia.
When Haunter tries to make Jesselaugh, it pulls the same pose
and says the same phrase. Gachon as the famous Japanese
(10:14):
comedian Kai Tenni. I'm not sure if that was
pronounced correctly, but he didsay gachon, which is a reference
to that particular Japanese comedian.
He could have said gotcha. Could have been a reference to
Noel Edmonds, the famous BritishTV personality, but I don't know
(10:36):
if anyone really understood the the reference.
I would have appreciated it. A Noel Edmonds Ghost Shout out
to Noel Edmonds. Did you know that Pikachu's line
when he sees Team Rocket in the ground is also heard in, you
guessed it, Super Smash Bros when Pikachu uses Thunderjolt?
(11:00):
We're starting to see a pattern here of a lot of the anime sound
effects being used in that SuperSmash Bros game now.
Also, did you know despite what the title suggests, Haunter
never battles Cadabra in any capacity in this entire episode?
(11:23):
Straight up lies from the episode title.
It's called Haunter versus Cadabra, but that battle does
not take place. An alternate title could have
been Haunter scheduled to face Cadabra, but instead runs away
to make Team Rocket laugh. So then he's scheduled to face
(11:43):
Cadabra again and he runs away asecond time.
But then Haunter returns and makes Sabrina laugh, which makes
Cadabra laugh so much he's unable to compete.
But I'm thinking maybe that would have been too long of an
episode title. Definitely wouldn't have been
able to fit that in the TV Timesback in the day.
(12:04):
Speaking of the TV Times, I actually just picked up an
original TV Times from the year 2000 with Meowth on the front
cover. I was really excited to get hold
of that. I'm going to do a future episode
with some of my Pokémon merchandise, but that just came
to mind as I was talking about the TV Times.
(12:26):
Another episode Fact, the battleagainst Sabrina is the first
battle that Ashe has won from the trainer being unable to give
orders due to outside interference.
So what that means is because Haunter showed up on the scene
and pulled a funny face and pretended that a bomb went off
(12:48):
and for some reason that made Sabrina laugh.
She's got a very dark sense of humor.
But in doing so, Sabrina was unable to give commands to her
Pokémon and therefore they lost the match.
And so this is another instance of a Pokémon being considered
unable to battle, which is it's not disobedience and it's not
(13:10):
necessarily that Cadabra fell asleep or he had to be recalled.
He didn't faint. We didn't get, he went on
flashing levels of health. He was just laughing because
Sabrina was laughing. And due to that reason, Cadabra
was unable to to battle. But this would actually be the
(13:32):
first time that Ash has won a battle in this particular way.
It might be the only time that Ash has ever won a battle due to
someone laughing too much. But you know, that's Pokémon for
you. Continuing with episode trivia,
we've got some errors, some goofs and slip UPS that you
(13:56):
might have missed. See if you can spot these when
rewatching this episode. In one particular scene, it says
Charmander's belly is orange instead of yellow.
Maybe he'd sat something to eat that day that had made it go
orange. An orange, perhaps?
What? What do you?
What's that? Maybe he had scurvy?
Does? Has that something to do with
(14:16):
oranges? That you rub an orange on
scurvy. Maybe he rubbed an orange on it.
Maybe he had scurvy. Well, actually it doesn't say
here that Charmander had scurvy,so please do not take that as
fact. With the flick of this fishing
head, we'll round a Pikachu. You mean that's your secret
weapon? It takes a genius to realize a
(14:37):
fishing net is the. Perfect weapon.
Oh, James, it's the greatest discovery since Einstein
invented the light bulb. Even greater than the chicken
who invented the egg. All of us true geniuses know, of
course, that it was actually theegg that preceded the chicken.
Of course I knew that I had justforgotten.
(15:00):
Thank you James for that fact about the chicken and the egg
providing his own Pokémon facts.OK, it's time for Dragonite's
Mailbag where I look at your listener questions, comments and
poker theories. Firstly, I received an e-mail
from Erica Wilson that said hi, I'm a big fan of your podcast
(15:20):
and I just wanted to reach out and let you know to keep up the
amazing work and that I look forward to new episodes every
week. Thank you so much, Erica.
What a nice message to receive and I'm really glad that you
enjoyed the Peeker Pals podcast.I'm still blown away by the fact
that anyone actually listens to this and it was nice to receive
a message like that. It was really validating and
(15:42):
gave me the motivation to carry on, so thank you so much.
Next, I received a letter in Dragonite's mailbag, a physical
letter with a stamp on in the post, and it says that it's from
Jinx. No last name given, just Jinx.
Hello Jed, I've been listening to your podcast and while it's
very entertaining, I must register a formal complaint
(16:05):
every week. It's Pikachu this, Pikachu that.
But where's the Jinx love? Do you know how many episodes
I've been in? Not many, but still I demand
equal representation. Also, your jokes.
Not nearly enough ice cold puns for a Pokémon who thrives in the
(16:28):
spotlight, I feel rather frozen out.
Yours dramatically, Jinx. And she's kissed the page there
with her lipstick. Thanks, Jinx.
And again, sorry that you feel left out and misrepresented in
the Pica Pals podcast. Maybe I will rebrand the Jinx
(16:50):
Pals podcast, Jinx Pals podcast.But yeah, thanks for your
letter, Jinx, and I'll see if I can maybe include some more Jinx
jokes in future episodes. Next, I received a voice note
from someone who I consider Pokémon royalty.
(17:12):
If you remember the Pokémon novel books, you used to be able
to get them at school. You used to be able to get them
in. My cat has just jumped onto the
microphone. Hello, Mole man, have you got a
question? Yeah, proper professional here
at the Pika Power Studio. Just have cats and and all
sorts. But I love you too.
(17:38):
And I received a voice note fromTracy W.
She is the author of all of the original Pokémon books, any of
those Pokémon novels that you can remember.
Oh man, Oh dear. Right.
I might need to pause this and and re record it as he's just
(18:02):
walked across my keyboard and and I don't even know what
settings you've opened here. Mole man, you're saying hello,
are you? You're a good boy.
OK, I'll be right back and I'll tell you all about that voice
note that I received from Tracy West.
(18:23):
OK, I'm back. Mole man is now sleeping next to
me, not trying to get on the microphone.
He's a regular old Meowth is Mole man.
Well, I was talking about Tracy W.
She's the author of many of the original Pokémon books, pretty
much all the Pokémon books that you will be able to remember
(18:44):
from your childhood. I reached out to Tracy W,
explained how much her books meant to me as a young Pokémon
fan growing up with the golden era of Pokémon and I explained
about my Pika Pals podcast and she very kindly sent me this
shout out. Hi, this is Tracy W.
(19:10):
If you grew up reading Pokémon books, then you might know some
of my work. And yes, I did start with the
Squirtle. Now you're listening to the Pika
Pals podcast. How awesome is that?
I can't believe within a few months of starting this podcast
I've been able to make a connection with Tracy W, the
author of the Pokémon books, as well as Roger Parsons, the
(19:33):
original Pokémon narrator. I feel very blessed and I thank
them both for their support of the show.
Stay tuned to the Peeker Pounds podcast as we are going to be
playing Who's That Pokémon as well as telling some Pokémon
jokes and you know you don't want to miss them.
But first we've got to take a pause for the calls.
(19:54):
Keep the lights on in the PeekerPounds studio with a quick
message from our sponsor. Today's show is sponsored by
Jigglypuff's Power Naps. Dozed off in class, nodded off
on the bus, or maybe, just maybe, took a few weeks off from
(20:17):
podcasting. Don't worry, Jigglypuff
understands. Her lullabies guarantee you'll
drift into dreamland without a care in the world and wake up
completely guilt free. Each power nap comes with a
complementary sharpie marker, sowhen you rise and shine with
(20:38):
doodles on your face, you'll remember.
Missing deadlines doesn't make you a failure, it makes you a
masterpiece. Apparent pokey crastination
method has been tested across trainers worldwide, and results
may include one hour naps that somehow last three weeks, a
(20:58):
sudden urge to sing your own theme song in public, and waking
up with the confidence of a Jigglypuff holding a microphone.
And the best part? Unlike your To Do List,
Jigglypuff never judges. She'll sing you to sleep,
forgive your mistakes, and then aggressively draw on you until
(21:20):
you've learned your lesson. That's customer service you
won't get from a Clefairy. So the next time life gets heavy
and you need a break, don't callit procrastination.
Call it Pokiecrastination, with Jigglypuff's Power Naps
available now at your nearest Pokémon.
(21:41):
Just look for the aisle labeled Unfinished Projects and
Forgotten Resolutions. Jigglypuff's Power Naps because
sometimes the best way to catch them all is to catch some ZS.
(22:25):
You are listening to the Pika Pals podcast, or at least I hope
you're still listening. You might have switched it off
by now. I just wanted to say if anyone
would like to be a guest on the Pika Pals podcast.
I am planning a very special subseries of the Pika Pals podcast
to debut very soon and I'm sure we can figure out even if we
(22:46):
need to do it remotely over one of those remote things, Zoom or
something. 2 paper cups and a long piece of string, we can
figure it out. If Professor Oak can track down
and call Ash at every Pokémon centre he visits, I'm sure we
can do it. But do let me know.
Reach out to me on social media or send me an e-mail if you
(23:08):
would like to chat Pokémon with me on the Pika Powers podcast.
Who wants to play a Game of Who's That Pokémon?
I've even got a new Pokedex sound effect.
Check this out. I'm Dexter, a Pokedex program by
Professor Oak for Pokémon traderAsh Ketchum.
Oh, that was it. That was the sound effect.
(23:29):
Slightly underwhelming there. Not sure if I'll use that again.
Yeah, anyway, it's time for a Game of Who's That Pokémon
Podcast Edition. So let's crack open the Pokedex.
And here is your clue. It bends a spoon with just it's
mind. It's psychic powers,
one-of-a-kind. But stare too long.
(23:52):
You may just see your memory fade.
Who could it be? Well, that leaves me with just
one question. Who's that Pokémon?
(24:13):
It's Cadabra, the Japanese name is Yongura, it's National
Pokedex number is 64, and it's classified as a Psychic type
Pokémon. Cadabra evolves from Abra
starting at level 16 and evolvesinto Alakazam when traded in
(24:34):
Pokémon Legends. Cadabra can also evolve into
Alakazam when exposed to a Lincoln Cord from Generation 3
onwards. Holding an Everstone will not
prevent Cadabra from evolving when traded.
Cadabra is a primarily yellow, slightly humanoid Pokémon with
mammalian features. It has 2 long pointed ears on
(24:57):
top of his head, a Red Star on its forehead, narrow deep set
eyes and wide cheeks leading down to a thin snout.
Extending from each side of its snout are two mustache like
Tufts. A male will have a longer
mustache than a female. Well, I should hope.
Cadabra is always seen carrying a silver spoon which amplifies
(25:20):
its telekinetic powers. Did you know a gold spoon does
not work as an amplifier and Cadabra is only half as strong
without a spoon? Cadabra emits alpha waves strong
enough to induce headaches and can even cause clocks to run
backwards, machines to malfunction, and delicate
(25:41):
devices to cease functioning altogether.
I better pray the Pigabats podcast don't go offline then.
The waves increase further in strength the more danger Cadabra
faces. By closing its eyes, it can
double the number of alpha particles it emits.
When it has a headache, the alpha waves become unusual.
It sleeps while levitating, using its springy tail like a
(26:04):
pillow. It can store up psychic energy
inside its star in preparation for its evolution.
There is a theory that Cadabra was born from a transformed
human child who could not control his powers.
And did you know Cadabra and itsevolved form Alakazam are the
only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Kinesis?
(26:28):
Here's some extra Pokémon facts about Cadabra.
In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Cadabra was originally
known as Pocus, and in Pokémon Crystal, a bug causes the
capture formula for the Heavy Ball to incorrectly retrieve
this Pokémon's weight, giving ita + 40 catch rate.
This also effects Taurus and Sunflock.
(26:50):
If Cadabra holds an Everstone from Generation 3 onwards while
traded, the Everstone will not take effect and Cadabra will
still have into Alakazam. While it shares this trait with
Machoke, Graveler and Haunter inGeneration 3, due to a glitch,
Cadabra actually keeps this trait in Generation 4 onwards.
(27:10):
Did you know that Cadabra appears to be based on magicians
and spoon benders? It also has similarities with
foxes, animals mythologically tied to magic, and it's
moustache Tufts of fur may be anexaggeration of a Fox's
whiskers. The symbol on Cadabra's forehead
and abdomen appear to be referenced to xenocards, a small
(27:33):
deck of symbols used in experiments to test for
extrasensory perception in the 1930s.
It may also be based on the practice of alchemy, an early
science that sought to synthesize medals with magic.
Oh, oh, oh, it's magic, you know, And that's all you need to
(27:55):
know about Kadam. Oh no, not again.
That's. Cool, why don't you forfeit
that? Way I'll have New Times to play
with. Oh order order.
You promised me where you go. Please stop fighting.
Order, order. Pick that.
(28:18):
This time you won't escape because I'm.
Flying you down. All righty then, you are
listening to the Pika Pals podcast.
Who wants to hear some Pokémon jokes?
This is the part of the show where I tell jokes.
It's everyone's favorite segment.
(28:40):
Joke him on. The magician asked Cadabra to do
a new trick. Guess what happened?
Yep, another spoon. That's trick 8462.
That's a lot of spoons. Angus Khan's baby just started
(29:02):
college. She still packs his lunch.
Well that's heart warming. Kindle is a chef now.
Speciality. Claustrophobic crab cakes.
Claustrophobic crab cakes? Well, they make you
claustrophobic, OK Shelder once applied for a home loan.
(29:27):
Bank said we don't approve someone who bites everything.
OK? I think that might be in the
terms and conditions of most home loans.
Did you know that Dodreo won a Sprint once?
Yet he's still arguing which legdid the most work?
Does he have three legs? Dodreo's third leg.
(29:49):
I don't remember watching that episode.
Pollywirl moonlights as a washing machine at pool parties.
What? Why?
OK Pollywirl? If it's what you want to do,
it's a living. OK, this is a good one.
What do you call a Pikachu that can fix computers?
(30:10):
A geek. A true also would be very
talented of Pikachu to be able to fix computers.
OK, the last joke this week Why did Professor Oak get in trouble
at the library? This could take a turn.
Why did Professor Oak get in trouble at the library?
Because every time someone askedhim a question he said now hold
(30:33):
on, are you a boy or a girl? Yes, I'll leave that one there.
And that was joke him on. She smiled.
(31:18):
Ever. Since she started her
telekinetic training as a littlegirl, I've never seen Sabrina
laugh like this. I've never seen her so happy in
her entire life. There you go.
Even Sabrina found this week's Joke Him on jokes funny.
I don't know, A bit of digging into some old Pokémon news
stories, finding some funny, bizarre, and wholesome Pokémon
(31:41):
news, and I have one here calledPikachu Takes to the Skies.
In the late 90s, while most of us were busy battling Gym
Leaders on our Game Boys or trading cards at recess, Japan
was busy taking Pokémon to a whole new altitude.
All Nippon Airways, better knownas Ana, rolled out a jumbo jet
(32:07):
unlike anything the skies have ever seen.
From nose to tail, this aircraftwas covered in giant, brightly
painted Pokémon, with Pikachu taking center stage.
We're talking a life-size Jigglypuff floating across the
fuselage, Squirtle mid splash bythe wing, and of course, Pikachu
(32:28):
plastered all over every available surface.
But the fun didn't stop with thepaint job.
Inside the cabin, passengers were greeted with Pokémon
headset covers, themed cutlery, and even in flight, meals styled
with Pikachu's face. The crew joined in two donning
cheerful Pikachu aprons while serving snacks.
(32:51):
Imagine being offered a drink bya flight attendant with Pikachu
smiling back at you. It was equal parts adorable and
surreal. The plane wasn't just a gimmick
either. It made regular commercial
flights meaning ordinary passengers could suddenly find
themselves boarding a flying poker ball.
For kids and fans lucky enough to step on board, it was like
(33:12):
walking into a real life Pokémonepisode.
So if you ever thought your tripto the airport was boring, just
remember, in the world of Pokémon, even boarding a plane
could feel like an adventure. And with that, it's the end of
the show. And you know what that means?
Time has come. It's for the best, I know it.
(33:38):
Who could have guessed that? You and I.
Somehow, someway, we have to saygoodbye.
Thanks so much for joining me for this episode of the Pika
Pals Podcast. It feels good to be back and I
(33:59):

I've been Jared, this has been the Peeker Pals podcast, and
you've been a real Peeker pal. The show may be over, but the
(35:13):
journey continues.
And now, join Pokémon Trainer Jed for a non-stop,
action-packed, laugh filled perilous journey.
Turn your hat around, grab your pokeballs, and get ready for the
fantastic Pika Pals podcast, where the excitement never ends.
Welcome to the Pika Pals podcast.
I'm your host, Pokémon Trainer Jed and I thank you for tuning
(00:42):
in. Today on the show we are looking
at Pokémon episode 24, Haunter versus Cadabra.
It's that crazy episode where Sabrina turns Misty and Brock
into living dolls. Lots to talk about on this
episode and I have an interesting Pokémon news story
(01:05):
from the early 2000s, so stay tuned for that.
It's been a few weeks since the last Pica Pals episode, and I
want to start by saying thank you for sticking with me.
You know, life doesn't always goto plan, and even if you try to
plan it perfectly, things can still take a turn.
And that's what happened for me recently.
I've missed a few weeks, not because the Pika Pals podcast
(01:27):
stopped mattering, but just because life got a little heavy
and I needed to take a pause. But instead of beating myself up
for it, thinking I have to startagain and that I've failed, I'm
going to try something new. I'm going to let go of the guilt
and just pick things up back from here.
So today I'm back and I'm excited to dive back into
(01:47):
Pokémon with you. So whether this is your first
listen or you've been with me since episode one, I'm very
grateful for your support. If you didn't notice I was gone,
forget any of that and let's getto it.
(02:09):
OK guys, we're back. It's good to be back.
It's good to be back on the peekof powers podcast.
I am still on my Pokémon Indigo League re watch along revisiting
the early years of Pokémon animeand this week's episode was
Haunter versus Cadabra. The Japanese title for this was
(02:31):
Ghost versus Espa. That's Espa, not Casper Espa the
friendly ghost in some territories.
This was the 24th episode of thePokémon animated series, and it
first aired in Japan on September the 9th, 1997.
(02:52):
It would go on to air in the United States on October the
8th, 1998. So what went down in this
episode? Well, Ash and his friends
returned from Saffron City, Haunter by their side, ready to
battle Cadabra. And just when that was about to
happen, Haunter disappeared, which meant that Ash had to
(03:17):
forfeit and he lost again. The most memorable part of this
episode might be Sabrina turningAsh's friends Brock and Misty
into dolls. You know that those dolls that
you put pins in, what are they called?
They're not torture dolls. They're not pin cushions.
(03:41):
Well, they are pin cushions in away, but you don't really have
them in a sewing kit. Or I suppose you could have that
in a sewing kit. I could definitely see someone
on Etsy selling that doll of Misty as a pincushion.
Voodoo dolls? That's what I'm trying to think
of. Sabrina turned Brock and Misty
into voodoo dolls and she actually threatened to turn Ash
(04:05):
into a voodoo doll as well. She said if she turned them all
into dolls then she could play with them all forever.
Possibly one of the creepiest scenes in the early Pokémon
episodes, but definitely one of the most memorable.
I'm surprised that Pokémon didn't capitalize on the
merchandise of those dolls. I've never seen them for sale
(04:28):
anywhere. I mean, I know you can get the
action figures from the early Pokémon years.
Well, they're kind of action figures, but they're not action
figures because you can't do anything with them.
None of their body parts move, not even their neck moves to
turn their head. They have 0 points of
articulation. So I guess they're not really an
(04:50):
action figure, they're just a figure.
And in a sense, they're kind of like the dolls that Sabrina
threatened to turn Ash into alongside Brock and Misty.
But I, I really think that Pokémon should have capitalized
on those felt dolls. Someone should make them.
If anyone's listening on Etsy, if you know how to do stuff with
(05:10):
felt, get on it. Sell them.
Tell them the Peak Pals podcast sent you.
Anyway, what else happened in this episode?
Oh, yeah? Well, because Haunter had, you
know, left. He disappeared.
Went off to try and make Team Rocket laugh.
Haunter's like a a stand up comedian.
(05:33):
He's just like a stand up comedian of ghosts.
Yet he doesn't stand. He floats a float up comedian.
Not sure now. Eventually Ash found Haunter and
he went back to battle Sabrina once more, but Haunter disappear
again. Haunter is not very consistent.
He is a deadbeat ghost, which isgood actually, because he is
(05:55):
dead. But fool Ash once, shame on Ash,
fool Ash twice, shame on Ash again.
Haunt her up and left, leaving Pikachu to step up to battle
Sabrina's Cadabra. Pikachu trying to protect Ash.
But it wouldn't go to plan. It looked like Sabrina was going
(06:20):
to end up with a full set of Pokémon dolls that would have
been worth some money if she'd kept hold of them.
However, in the end, Haunter would make Sabrina and Cadabra
laugh, making them laugh so muchthat they were actually unable
(06:41):
to battle Cadabra. He didn't get knocked out, he
didn't get poisoned, He didn't even go to sleep.
He literally laughed himself into defeat.
But it was nice. It was a nice nice scene.
Sabrina's dad was there, she wassmiling, she was smiling like
(07:01):
she means it, she was smiling like she Sabrinas it.
And it was a nice family scene to see Sabrina find some
happiness, find some peace and actually haunt her.
Would stay around with Sabrina and family but I just want to
give you a warning. Don't be surprised if Haunter
(07:22):
ups and leaves. That seems to be what he likes
doing. Due to Cadabra's inability to
compete, Ash would actually win the battle.
Again, another kind of way of Ash winning here in questionable
circumstances, but nonetheless, Ash wins the Marsh badge.
(07:44):
The episode wraps up and we findout that Ash is on his way to
the next gym, hoping to gain another badge.
Stick around for some behind thescenes episode Trivia Rock.
(08:05):
Misty. Oh, they're dolls now.
I'm going to take all of you to dance, right?
Take it easy, please. Wait.
Hey, where'd you come from? Sometimes you've got a retreat
(08:26):
to win teleportation. OK, let's look at some episode
trivia courtesy of Bulbapedia. This episode was partially
adapted into the book Night in the Haunted Tower.
Also, it says here, for unspecified reasons, both
(08:47):
Sabrina and Ash state that Ash caught haunt her in this
episode, but Haunter had not been seen in a poker ball in
either episode. So Haunter was kind of an
unofficial Pokémon capture. He was just going along for the
ride. He was doing Ash a favor,
although he ended up doing him no favors because he bailed on
(09:10):
him. The Marsh Badge that Ash earns
in this episode is his fourth batch.
However, it's a rare deviation from the traditional sequence of
Pokémon Gyms, as the Marsh Badgeis actually the 6th badge that a
player earns in the Pokémon games.
(09:31):
So, slight difference between the Pokémon games and the
animated series when it comes tothe Marsh Badge.
Another fact here it says when James introduces his net tramp,
which I've got a clip of later in this episode.
The music is similar to the music during the battle atop the
(09:54):
AL True Tower in Pokémon Ranger Shadows of Almia.
When Haunter tries to make Jesselaugh, it pulls the same pose
and says the same phrase. Gachon as the famous Japanese
(10:14):
comedian Kai Tenni. I'm not sure if that was
pronounced correctly, but he didsay gachon, which is a reference
to that particular Japanese comedian.
He could have said gotcha. Could have been a reference to
Noel Edmonds, the famous BritishTV personality, but I don't know
(10:36):
if anyone really understood the the reference.
I would have appreciated it. A Noel Edmonds Ghost Shout out
to Noel Edmonds. Did you know that Pikachu's line
when he sees Team Rocket in the ground is also heard in, you
guessed it, Super Smash Bros when Pikachu uses Thunderjolt?
(11:00):
We're starting to see a pattern here of a lot of the anime sound
effects being used in that SuperSmash Bros game now.
Also, did you know despite what the title suggests, Haunter
never battles Cadabra in any capacity in this entire episode?
(11:23):
Straight up lies from the episode title.
It's called Haunter versus Cadabra, but that battle does
not take place. An alternate title could have
been Haunter scheduled to face Cadabra, but instead runs away
to make Team Rocket laugh. So then he's scheduled to face
(11:43):
Cadabra again and he runs away asecond time.
But then Haunter returns and makes Sabrina laugh, which makes
Cadabra laugh so much he's unable to compete.
But I'm thinking maybe that would have been too long of an
episode title. Definitely wouldn't have been
able to fit that in the TV Timesback in the day.
(12:04):
Speaking of the TV Times, I actually just picked up an
original TV Times from the year 2000 with Meowth on the front
cover. I was really excited to get hold
of that. I'm going to do a future episode
with some of my Pokémon merchandise, but that just came
to mind as I was talking about the TV Times.
(12:26):
Another episode Fact, the battleagainst Sabrina is the first
battle that Ashe has won from the trainer being unable to give
orders due to outside interference.
So what that means is because Haunter showed up on the scene
and pulled a funny face and pretended that a bomb went off
(12:48):
and for some reason that made Sabrina laugh.
She's got a very dark sense of humor.
But in doing so, Sabrina was unable to give commands to her
Pokémon and therefore they lost the match.
And so this is another instance of a Pokémon being considered
unable to battle, which is it's not disobedience and it's not
(13:10):
necessarily that Cadabra fell asleep or he had to be recalled.
He didn't faint. We didn't get, he went on
flashing levels of health. He was just laughing because
Sabrina was laughing. And due to that reason, Cadabra
was unable to to battle. But this would actually be the
(13:32):
first time that Ash has won a battle in this particular way.
It might be the only time that Ash has ever won a battle due to
someone laughing too much. But you know, that's Pokémon for
you. Continuing with episode trivia,
we've got some errors, some goofs and slip UPS that you
(13:56):
might have missed. See if you can spot these when
rewatching this episode. In one particular scene, it says
Charmander's belly is orange instead of yellow.
Maybe he'd sat something to eat that day that had made it go
orange. An orange, perhaps?
What? What do you?
What's that? Maybe he had scurvy?
Does? Has that something to do with
(14:16):
oranges? That you rub an orange on
scurvy. Maybe he rubbed an orange on it.
Maybe he had scurvy. Well, actually it doesn't say
here that Charmander had scurvy,so please do not take that as
fact. With the flick of this fishing
head, we'll round a Pikachu. You mean that's your secret
weapon? It takes a genius to realize a
(14:37):
fishing net is the. Perfect weapon.
Oh, James, it's the greatest discovery since Einstein
invented the light bulb. Even greater than the chicken
who invented the egg. All of us true geniuses know, of
course, that it was actually theegg that preceded the chicken.
Of course I knew that I had justforgotten.
(15:00):
Thank you James for that fact about the chicken and the egg
providing his own Pokémon facts.OK, it's time for Dragonite's
Mailbag where I look at your listener questions, comments and
poker theories. Firstly, I received an e-mail
from Erica Wilson that said hi, I'm a big fan of your podcast
(15:20):
and I just wanted to reach out and let you know to keep up the
amazing work and that I look forward to new episodes every
week. Thank you so much, Erica.
What a nice message to receive and I'm really glad that you
enjoyed the Peeker Pals podcast.I'm still blown away by the fact
that anyone actually listens to this and it was nice to receive
a message like that. It was really validating and
(15:42):
gave me the motivation to carry on, so thank you so much.
Next, I received a letter in Dragonite's mailbag, a physical
letter with a stamp on in the post, and it says that it's from
Jinx. No last name given, just Jinx.
Hello Jed, I've been listening to your podcast and while it's
very entertaining, I must register a formal complaint
(16:05):
every week. It's Pikachu this, Pikachu that.
But where's the Jinx love? Do you know how many episodes
I've been in? Not many, but still I demand
equal representation. Also, your jokes.
Not nearly enough ice cold puns for a Pokémon who thrives in the
(16:28):
spotlight, I feel rather frozen out.
Yours dramatically, Jinx. And she's kissed the page there
with her lipstick. Thanks, Jinx.
And again, sorry that you feel left out and misrepresented in
the Pica Pals podcast. Maybe I will rebrand the Jinx
(16:50):
Pals podcast, Jinx Pals podcast.But yeah, thanks for your
letter, Jinx, and I'll see if I can maybe include some more Jinx
jokes in future episodes. Next, I received a voice note
from someone who I consider Pokémon royalty.
(17:12):
If you remember the Pokémon novel books, you used to be able
to get them at school. You used to be able to get them
in. My cat has just jumped onto the
microphone. Hello, Mole man, have you got a
question? Yeah, proper professional here
at the Pika Power Studio. Just have cats and and all
sorts. But I love you too.
(17:38):
And I received a voice note fromTracy W.
She is the author of all of the original Pokémon books, any of
those Pokémon novels that you can remember.
Oh man, Oh dear. Right.
I might need to pause this and and re record it as he's just
(18:02):
walked across my keyboard and and I don't even know what
settings you've opened here. Mole man, you're saying hello,
are you? You're a good boy.
OK, I'll be right back and I'll tell you all about that voice
note that I received from Tracy West.
(18:23):
OK, I'm back. Mole man is now sleeping next to
me, not trying to get on the microphone.
He's a regular old Meowth is Mole man.
Well, I was talking about Tracy W.
She's the author of many of the original Pokémon books, pretty
much all the Pokémon books that you will be able to remember
(18:44):
from your childhood. I reached out to Tracy W,
explained how much her books meant to me as a young Pokémon
fan growing up with the golden era of Pokémon and I explained
about my Pika Pals podcast and she very kindly sent me this
shout out. Hi, this is Tracy W.
(19:10):
If you grew up reading Pokémon books, then you might know some
of my work. And yes, I did start with the
Squirtle. Now you're listening to the Pika
Pals podcast. How awesome is that?
I can't believe within a few months of starting this podcast
I've been able to make a connection with Tracy W, the
author of the Pokémon books, as well as Roger Parsons, the
(19:33):
original Pokémon narrator. I feel very blessed and I thank
them both for their support of the show.
Stay tuned to the Peeker Pounds podcast as we are going to be
playing Who's That Pokémon as well as telling some Pokémon
jokes and you know you don't want to miss them.
But first we've got to take a pause for the calls.
(19:54):
Keep the lights on in the PeekerPounds studio with a quick
message from our sponsor. Today's show is sponsored by
Jigglypuff's Power Naps. Dozed off in class, nodded off
on the bus, or maybe, just maybe, took a few weeks off from
(20:17):
podcasting. Don't worry, Jigglypuff
understands. Her lullabies guarantee you'll
drift into dreamland without a care in the world and wake up
completely guilt free. Each power nap comes with a
complementary sharpie marker, sowhen you rise and shine with
(20:38):
doodles on your face, you'll remember.
Missing deadlines doesn't make you a failure, it makes you a
masterpiece. Apparent pokey crastination
method has been tested across trainers worldwide, and results
may include one hour naps that somehow last three weeks, a
(20:58):
sudden urge to sing your own theme song in public, and waking
up with the confidence of a Jigglypuff holding a microphone.
And the best part? Unlike your To Do List,
Jigglypuff never judges. She'll sing you to sleep,
forgive your mistakes, and then aggressively draw on you until
(21:20):
you've learned your lesson. That's customer service you
won't get from a Clefairy. So the next time life gets heavy
and you need a break, don't callit procrastination.
Call it Pokiecrastination, with Jigglypuff's Power Naps
available now at your nearest Pokémon.
(21:41):
Just look for the aisle labeled Unfinished Projects and
Forgotten Resolutions. Jigglypuff's Power Naps because
sometimes the best way to catch them all is to catch some ZS.
(22:25):
You are listening to the Pika Pals podcast, or at least I hope
you're still listening. You might have switched it off
by now. I just wanted to say if anyone
would like to be a guest on the Pika Pals podcast.
I am planning a very special subseries of the Pika Pals podcast
to debut very soon and I'm sure we can figure out even if we
(22:46):
need to do it remotely over one of those remote things, Zoom or
something. 2 paper cups and a long piece of string, we can
figure it out. If Professor Oak can track down
and call Ash at every Pokémon centre he visits, I'm sure we
can do it. But do let me know.
Reach out to me on social media or send me an e-mail if you
(23:08):
would like to chat Pokémon with me on the Pika Powers podcast.
Who wants to play a Game of Who's That Pokémon?
I've even got a new Pokedex sound effect.
Check this out. I'm Dexter, a Pokedex program by
Professor Oak for Pokémon traderAsh Ketchum.
Oh, that was it. That was the sound effect.
(23:29):
Slightly underwhelming there. Not sure if I'll use that again.
Yeah, anyway, it's time for a Game of Who's That Pokémon
Podcast Edition. So let's crack open the Pokedex.
And here is your clue. It bends a spoon with just it's
mind. It's psychic powers,
one-of-a-kind. But stare too long.
(23:52):
You may just see your memory fade.
Who could it be? Well, that leaves me with just
one question. Who's that Pokémon?
(24:13):
It's Cadabra, the Japanese name is Yongura, it's National
Pokedex number is 64, and it's classified as a Psychic type
Pokémon. Cadabra evolves from Abra
starting at level 16 and evolvesinto Alakazam when traded in
(24:34):
Pokémon Legends. Cadabra can also evolve into
Alakazam when exposed to a Lincoln Cord from Generation 3
onwards. Holding an Everstone will not
prevent Cadabra from evolving when traded.
Cadabra is a primarily yellow, slightly humanoid Pokémon with
mammalian features. It has 2 long pointed ears on
(24:57):
top of his head, a Red Star on its forehead, narrow deep set
eyes and wide cheeks leading down to a thin snout.
Extending from each side of its snout are two mustache like
Tufts. A male will have a longer
mustache than a female. Well, I should hope.
Cadabra is always seen carrying a silver spoon which amplifies
(25:20):
its telekinetic powers. Did you know a gold spoon does
not work as an amplifier and Cadabra is only half as strong
without a spoon? Cadabra emits alpha waves strong
enough to induce headaches and can even cause clocks to run
backwards, machines to malfunction, and delicate
(25:41):
devices to cease functioning altogether.
I better pray the Pigabats podcast don't go offline then.
The waves increase further in strength the more danger Cadabra
faces. By closing its eyes, it can
double the number of alpha particles it emits.
When it has a headache, the alpha waves become unusual.
It sleeps while levitating, using its springy tail like a
(26:04):
pillow. It can store up psychic energy
inside its star in preparation for its evolution.
There is a theory that Cadabra was born from a transformed
human child who could not control his powers.
And did you know Cadabra and itsevolved form Alakazam are the
only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Kinesis?
(26:28):
Here's some extra Pokémon facts about Cadabra.
In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Cadabra was originally
known as Pocus, and in Pokémon Crystal, a bug causes the
capture formula for the Heavy Ball to incorrectly retrieve
this Pokémon's weight, giving ita + 40 catch rate.
This also effects Taurus and Sunflock.
(26:50):
If Cadabra holds an Everstone from Generation 3 onwards while
traded, the Everstone will not take effect and Cadabra will
still have into Alakazam. While it shares this trait with
Machoke, Graveler and Haunter inGeneration 3, due to a glitch,
Cadabra actually keeps this trait in Generation 4 onwards.
(27:10):
Did you know that Cadabra appears to be based on magicians
and spoon benders? It also has similarities with
foxes, animals mythologically tied to magic, and it's
moustache Tufts of fur may be anexaggeration of a Fox's
whiskers. The symbol on Cadabra's forehead
and abdomen appear to be referenced to xenocards, a small
(27:33):
deck of symbols used in experiments to test for
extrasensory perception in the 1930s.
It may also be based on the practice of alchemy, an early
science that sought to synthesize medals with magic.
Oh, oh, oh, it's magic, you know, And that's all you need to
(27:55):
know about Kadam. Oh no, not again.
That's. Cool, why don't you forfeit
that? Way I'll have New Times to play
with. Oh order order.
You promised me where you go. Please stop fighting.
Order, order. Pick that.
(28:18):
This time you won't escape because I'm.
Flying you down. All righty then, you are
listening to the Pika Pals podcast.
Who wants to hear some Pokémon jokes?
This is the part of the show where I tell jokes.
It's everyone's favorite segment.
(28:40):
Joke him on. The magician asked Cadabra to do
a new trick. Guess what happened?
Yep, another spoon. That's trick 8462.
That's a lot of spoons. Angus Khan's baby just started
(29:02):
college. She still packs his lunch.
Well that's heart warming. Kindle is a chef now.
Speciality. Claustrophobic crab cakes.
Claustrophobic crab cakes? Well, they make you
claustrophobic, OK Shelder once applied for a home loan.
(29:27):
Bank said we don't approve someone who bites everything.
OK? I think that might be in the
terms and conditions of most home loans.
Did you know that Dodreo won a Sprint once?
Yet he's still arguing which legdid the most work?
Does he have three legs? Dodreo's third leg.
(29:49):
I don't remember watching that episode.
Pollywirl moonlights as a washing machine at pool parties.
What? Why?
OK Pollywirl? If it's what you want to do,
it's a living. OK, this is a good one.
What do you call a Pikachu that can fix computers?
(30:10):
A geek. A true also would be very
talented of Pikachu to be able to fix computers.
OK, the last joke this week Why did Professor Oak get in trouble
at the library? This could take a turn.
Why did Professor Oak get in trouble at the library?
Because every time someone askedhim a question he said now hold
(30:33):
on, are you a boy or a girl? Yes, I'll leave that one there.
And that was joke him on. She smiled.
(31:18):
Ever. Since she started her
telekinetic training as a littlegirl, I've never seen Sabrina
laugh like this. I've never seen her so happy in
her entire life. There you go.
Even Sabrina found this week's Joke Him on jokes funny.
I don't know, A bit of digging into some old Pokémon news
stories, finding some funny, bizarre, and wholesome Pokémon
(31:41):
news, and I have one here calledPikachu Takes to the Skies.
In the late 90s, while most of us were busy battling Gym
Leaders on our Game Boys or trading cards at recess, Japan
was busy taking Pokémon to a whole new altitude.
All Nippon Airways, better knownas Ana, rolled out a jumbo jet
(32:07):
unlike anything the skies have ever seen.
From nose to tail, this aircraftwas covered in giant, brightly
painted Pokémon, with Pikachu taking center stage.
We're talking a life-size Jigglypuff floating across the
fuselage, Squirtle mid splash bythe wing, and of course, Pikachu
(32:28):
plastered all over every available surface.
But the fun didn't stop with thepaint job.
Inside the cabin, passengers were greeted with Pokémon
headset covers, themed cutlery, and even in flight, meals styled
with Pikachu's face. The crew joined in two donning
cheerful Pikachu aprons while serving snacks.
(32:51):
Imagine being offered a drink bya flight attendant with Pikachu
smiling back at you. It was equal parts adorable and
surreal. The plane wasn't just a gimmick
either. It made regular commercial
flights meaning ordinary passengers could suddenly find
themselves boarding a flying poker ball.
For kids and fans lucky enough to step on board, it was like
(33:12):
walking into a real life Pokémonepisode.
So if you ever thought your tripto the airport was boring, just
remember, in the world of Pokémon, even boarding a plane
could feel like an adventure. And with that, it's the end of
the show. And you know what that means?
Time has come. It's for the best, I know it.
(33:38):
Who could have guessed that? You and I.
Somehow, someway, we have to saygoodbye.
Thanks so much for joining me for this episode of the Pika
