Vastly victorious in excellent episode

Warning: Spoilers
This is another and one of most popular episodes in the first series of Pokémon.

Finding the Cinnabar Island gym hidden within a volcano, Ash battles Blaine for the Volcano Badge. Squirtle was overpowered and Charizard goofed off now Pikachu is facing the creepy spitfire pokémon Magmar. So Pikachu is left with edge of inferno death with lava or facing Fire Blast attack and last episode ended with a cliffhanger - literally, it's the result for Pikachu here.

It's a likeable and memorable moments when Charizard eventually helps Magmar stop the volcanic eruption, caused by Team Rocket shenanigans, then the two go face-to-face in a rematch Ash has. Charizard gets to use impressive Seismic Toss only after falling into the volcano.

Bit of gag when Meowth burns his paws on the scorching hot iron doors which is similar to Ash in last episode. As for errors, I don't see why Brock's Onix and Geodude need to hose down when creating lava rock dam as rock-type pokémon don't like water.
