Continuing from the exciting end to episode 3, Red finally arrives at the Pokémon League on the Indigo Plateau, where he beats the Elite Four. Lance recognizes him as the League Champion... if he had come earlier. Blue obtained the title, and has to engage in a battle with him. After a few glimpses, it comes to Red's Charizard and Blue's Blastoise. The latter is no pushover, and endures a Mega Punch to the face with barely any damage! It retaliates with a Hydro Pump, bringing down Zard to critical level. However, Zard manages a Fire Spin, followed by a searing Fire Blast, and wins!
Oak enlists Red in the Hall of Fame, who later manages to catch all 149 known Pokémon. But he finds Blue hospitalized, and finds that he was injured by what he discovers to be is a Mewtwo(!!!) With some important tidbits of info (how Fuji was a PROFESSOR, and the secret of Mew), Red surfs to Cerulean Cave, and encounters the savage Mewtwo, which sweeps his team easily. After a brief brawl, Zard and Red are thrown into the waters, when the stones start acting up. These turn out to be the Mega Stones Fuji researched on, and combining them... Charizard bursts out of the water in a terrifying new form: Meg Charizard X! A short yet epic battle ensues, and Red manages to capture Mewtwo. The episode ends with Red looking to capture Mew (who happens to be flying outside the window!)
The music derived from the games is beautifully used, and brings back memories. The fight scenes, while short, are arguably the best in the special. Humor is used well often. The deviation from the games are more pronounced here, with a few twists. Overall, it's an amazing conclusion to the TV special. The only drawback: Not long enough!
