This episode didn't have that much relevance in the long run, but it did introduce us to a fairly important character, Prima. Watching this episode, it makes me sad that Brock wasn't present. Why? Because Brock has been shown falling in love with almost every single female character that has ever appeared in the entire show. Prima is the most...well endowed of any female character to appear on the show. It's such a wasted opportunity! Okay, back to the episode. Prima is actually a great character herself. Apart from how she's a great trainer, she has a lot of words of wisdom.
She even manages to beat Pikachu with Cloyster! This episode just seemed so short to me. It might be because it's so easy to remember Prima. As the show itself has run into a problem or two with censorship, it's nice they uh, allowed this character to exist. It's a pretty casual episode that does teach some pretty good morals. It's great to have a member of the Elite Four appear and one who can actually beat Ash. ***1/2
