Journey to the Orange Islands (Pokemon Chapter Book #9)

Tracey West

1 Very Good!
When Professor Oak wanted Ash to do him an errand, it was fine to him. They were also told to go to an island and they have to take a blimp. Troubles have started when Team Rocket causes troubles. They also meet her Tracey. There is also a LOST LAPRAS in this story.

2 Journey to the Orange Islands
This book is based on the episodes Pallet Party Panic, A Scare in the Air, Pokeball Peril, and The Lost Lapras.

3 A bit weak
It is a bit weak but great after all. I don't like PKMN but I read widely so I'd say it's quite good. My advice is to read all the reviews before buying the book. But if you are foreign, I'd advice you to buy it at a local store and not from amazon.com but if you can wait a few weeks and want a nice, shiney book order it from amazon.com.

4 I like the Story but...
All pokemon stories I find interesting and cute, especially the pictures. As with all pokemon books, Ash tries to win badges and catch pokemn; that is the basic storyline, which is ok on TV but not in text. The writing is probably for little children from the way it is, so it might be too easy for older readers. Personally, if I didn't watch the TV show I'd have difficulty comprehending what was going on.

My friends, I am here to tell you of the wonderous continent known as
Africa. Well we left New York drunk and early on the morning of February 31.
We were 15 days on the water, and 3 on the boat when we finally arrived in
Africa. Upon our arrival we immediately set up a rigorous schedule: Up at
6:00, breakfast, and back in bed by 7:00. Pretty soon we were back in bed by
6:30. Now Africa is full of big game. The first day I shot two bucks. That
was the biggest game we had. Africa is primerally inhabited by Elks, Moose
and Knights of Pithiests.
The elks live up in the mountains and come down once a year for their
annual conventions. And you should see them gathered around the water hole,
which they leave immediately when they discover it's full of water. They
weren't looking for a water hole. They were looking for an alck hole.
One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas, how he got in my
pajamas, I don't know. Then we tried to remove the tusks. That's a tough
word to say, tusks. As I said we tried to remove the tusks, but they were
imbedded so firmly we couldn't get them out. But in Alabama the Tuscaloosa,
but that is totally irrelephant to what I was saying.
We took some pictures of the native girls, but they weren't developed.
So we're going back in a few years...
