Ep 23. Houndoom's Special Delivery

Ash and his friends are on the road to Mahogany Town, but they're running low on supplies. When a storm hits, they find shelter in a nearby cabin where they meet a Houndour and its trainer. The trainer tells them that he's been training Houndour to deliver medicine to a nearby town that has been hit by an epidemic. However, Houndour has been injured and can't make the delivery, so Ash and his friends offer to take the medicine for him.

The group sets out on a perilous journey through the stormy night, and they encounter many obstacles along the way. They must cross a raging river, fend off a pack of wild Houndour, and navigate through a dense forest. Just when they think they're in the clear, they stumble upon a Team Rocket scheme to capture not only Pikachu, but the medicine as well.

With Team Rocket hot on their tails, the group must use all their skills to fend them off and deliver the medicine in time. Houndour proves to be an invaluable ally, using its powerful fire attacks to keep the villains at bay. In the end, they successfully make the delivery and the townspeople are saved from the epidemic.

As Ash and his friends say goodbye to the Houndour and its trainer, they realize that their journey is about more than just winning battles and catching Pokemon. It's about helping others and making a difference in the world.
