Level: 44 (8%) ~ I know that Part 2 is later than usual, but better late than never. Anyway, it's not really much of an announcement that I have to make; it's just that my blog title was limited in space and I wanted to get your attention. First of all, I'm going to be putting an asterisk ( * ) in the title of my anime/manga updates from now on if I have something to mention besides just the usual updates. If it's more than just that, however, I'll try to put it in the title like I did with my previous blog entry.

The other thing I have to mention is that I'm going to host a little game right now. I'm planning on doing something special in my next blog entry (I can't promise it, though), and I'd like you to take a guess at what the occasion is. If you think you know, send me a PM telling me, and if you're right, you get a virtual cookie and a mention in that blog entry. The only rule is that you can't say it in a blog comment. I just thought I should bring a little more flare to my blogs. Good luck. Now then, time to continue this week's updates.

Pokemon Dub Episode Update

DP128 - A Pyramiding Rage!

Just as Ash finishes his victory cheer upon winning the Icicle Badge, Paul arrives out of the blue and challenges Candice to a battle. Candice accepts, but says that she wants her Pokemon to rest up first. The next morning, everyone is surprised when Paul's brother Reggie shows up in town. They then get a surprise double dose as none other than Pyramid King Brandon of the Kanto Battle Frontier arrives in Snowpoint City in his Battle Pyramid. When Ash brings up the fact that he defeated Brandon, Paul gets surprisingly upset.

Brandon comes down to earth to greet the group, and says that he came to the city in order to investigate the nearby Snowpoint Temple. It's soon brought up that Reggie once battled Brandon, but lost. He then gave up as a trainer, which made Paul angry. These memories get Paul's blood boiling, and that combined with the news that Ash defeated Brandon sends him over the top. Without hesitating, Paul challenges Brandon to a battle...

Awesome episode. The battle between Paul and Brandon was definitely an intense one, and this is the first time I've seen Paul lose control of himself like that. It's great to see Brandon again, I can't wait for the scheduled full battle between Ash and Paul, and it's a cliffhanger ending as something's going wrong at the Snowpoint Temple!

Next Time: Pillars of Friendship!

Episode 131 - Honored Sage Mode!

Having finally met of with Pain, Jiraiya engages in battle with him, his plan to use the Honored Sage Mode to gain the upper hand. Unfortunately, gaining enough energy to summon the Elder toads he needs to use Sage Mode isn't easy, so Jiraiya summons Gamaken to bide him some time. Pain goes on the offensive, summoning a giant dog that has the Rinnegan, while hiding in his chameleon summon. The dog attacks viciously, but every time Gamaken annihilates it, the dog multiplies, gaining even more power as a result.

The battle gets even more drawn out, but Jiraiya still hasn't gained enough energy to summon the Elder toads. Meanwhile, he notices that for some reason, Pain never attacks him directly and only uses summons, even though Jiraiya knows that Nagato learned many battle techniques, including an array of jutsus. At long last, Jiraiya gains the energy he needs, and summons the Elder toads, going into Sage Mode as a result. Now being much more powerful, Jiraiya, with the help of Fukasaku and Shima (the Elder toads), fishes out Pain in his chameleon hiding place, forcing him to engage in battle directly. But Jiraiya is in for a surprise, as Pain then summons two humans, both of whom have the Rinnegan themselves...
