| 158 | 156 | "The Psychic Sidekicks!" (Kirinriki! The Village of Esper Pokémon!) "Kirinriki! Esupā Pokemon no Mura!" (キリンリキ！エスパーポケモンのむら!) | July 13, 2000 | August 11, 2001 |
| Team Rocket attacks a town that is protected by Psychic Pokémon with a machine that is impervious to Psychic attacks, and begins to steal all the Pokémon in town. (Or) Ash and co. are wandering through a forest, as they slowly make their way to Goldenrod City. They’d prefer to be quickly making their way to Goldenrod City, as, according to rumor, this forest is full of Ghosts. As a precaution, Misty sends out Psyduck to protect them, since it’s the only one who knows any Psychic attacks. The kids are pushing their way through the underbrush, when a dark, grinning face pops out of the bushes, terrifying them all! Misty shoves Psyduck in front of her, but it runs back behind her, and retreats into its Pokéball. Ash approaches the supposed Ghost, who Bites him hard on the hand… but then it raises its other head from the bushes - it’s not a Ghost Pokémon at all, it’s a Girafarig! | ||||
