Challenge of the Samurai
In Viridian Forest, Ash and Misty meet Samurai, a self-proclaimed expert trainer who has been waiting to challenge anyone from Pallet Town to a Pokémon match. Their battle stretches into a long Metapod versus Metapod standoff until a Beedrill swarm, summoned by a Weedle Ash failed to catch, drives everyone to flee. Ash leaves Metapod behind in the panic, then returns to apologise, and Metapod evolves into Butterfree just in time to put the Beedrill to sleep. The episode closes with Samurai pointing the way to Pewter City and a Poké Rap montage of collectible Pokémon names.
