You are now watching: Episode 04: Challenge of the Samurai

Ash & Misty continue through Viridian Forest & they run into a trainer named Samurai. He then battles Ash 1 on 1. Ash uses Metapod while Samurai uses Metapod. Both trainers tell their Pokemon to use Harden, which isn’t even an attack! So Misty & Pikachu wait, and wait, and nothing happens.

The battle lasts for what it seems like ages. The battle ends but then Ash’s Metapod is taken by Beedrill, mistaking it for a Kakuna. Ash is forced to wait & until the next day, he sets out to get it. Team Rocket are attacked by the Beedrill & when Ash tries to get Metapod, it is cut by Beedrill but then Butterfree emerges from it & it defeats the Beedrill. Ash departs from Samurai & he & Misty continue towards Pewter City.
