TIme to review episode 667!!!
Well, as usual, we join our....heroes(?)....in the forest preparing to eat, when there is a town not even a mile from them filled with better places to eat. Anyway, Iris is eating a bunch of berries, and Dento refuses to let Ash eat them, because he need someone to eat the rest of the rice he is cooking. Then, a new face appears! (And what an odd face it is.) Darumaka appears, and Iris goes "Kawaii Desu" over it. Obviously, she was invading his personal space, so he breathes fire on her. That's one way to handle fangirls I guess. Anyway, a "mysterious" hand grabs Kibago's bowl of food while he and Pikachu are looking at the Doll, wondering why he took sleep. Kibago notices, and starts blaming Pikachu. Pikachu insists that he didn't do it. Then the hand appears again, and this time Pikachu sees it, but Kibago doesn't. "So now you're a liar eh?" said Kibago, before he started a fight. The humans are obviously too dumb to see what Pikachu sees. However, finally, they hear a bush and now there are 2 Darumakas! D8 It has the Pokemon food! so it runs off, and then the other Darumaka takes the berries. Ash does the smart thing and brings out Mijumaru to deal with their asses, however their fire was just too hot for him, so he fainted, causing them to escape, and Ash and company to leave their rice and take Miju to the Pokemon Center.
While at the Pokemon Center, Team Rocket is also in town, of course being their new "badass" selves. Jessie orders something, and in their coffe is.... the letter E! D8 EGADS! NOT E! Something tells me that E is not for Everyone, in this case.
Back at the Pokemon center (and a very familiar tune, to those who recognize it
) Mijumaru is healed, and Ash bring it back to its ball. Nurse Joy then hears them say Darumaka, and then starts on a bunch of stuff I can't quite understand, but apparently Darumaka and Hihidaruma used to live with people in this town, helping them pick berries. However, when the trees shriveled up, they resorted to stealing. Anyway, Iris looks out the window at a clock tower, which looks beautiful in the twilight sky, when Ash's tummy growls. Then they wait til night to finally eat. Ash and Iris have big appetites, but Dento is not that hungry, and wants them to slow down. Naysayer! They yell at him for not eating like they do. Ah, but Dento realizes the burden of being a fictional male character, and thanks to Rule 34 he must keep his body in shape. Nurse Joy then makes an announcement, not sure what, but its apparently good.
When Ash and the others go back to the kitchen, the 2 Darumakas have some more stuff! THey escape out the window, but Ash sends out his trusty bloodhound, Mamapato (get it?) to follow them. Ash then leeps out the window, and Iris cleary states how wrong that was for not using a door. Now they are all chasing them, while the Darumakas are nocking stuff over to slow them down. Sudddenly they split up! Dento goes left, and Iris and Ash go right. Both of the groups lose them. However.... Mamapato is the one wjo tracks them down, right at the clocktower door!
Meanwhile, the Rocket Posse are waitng on a bridge....and their wearing sunglasses at night -.- Seriously, how can they even see? Anyway, Giovani's assitant drops by and leaves them a breifcase. She leaves, and while the wind is blowing almost as if it were cued to do so, they plot!
Back to the kids. Ash, Iris, and Dento enter the clock tower and chase the Darumaka up some stairs, which seriously freaks them out. They arrive on the floor, while some, er, crickets(!?!) are chirping outside. Ash looks around, but can't seem to notice the two Pokemon shaped objects hanging on the wall behind him. Surprise! They use Flamethrower, which Ash dodges. The isiots set their own crib on fire! So, Dento makes Ash get Mijumaru out to douse the fire. After he does that, the two idiots then let out another flamethrower. THis time, Ash lets Pikachu fight the fire, which works! Then Mijumaru blasts them against the wall. Then....they fall asleep? It sure seems so...but not really. They jump up and land behind the kids. Ash then tries to "talk things through". Like thats going to work XD.....and it works 0-0 Anyway, they seem to be trying to get to the next floor, however they set their own ladder on fire!
So, Dento lets Ash climb on his delicate shoulders, and Ash climbs to the next floor. He then sends out Shetaja to let them up with Vine Whip. Seriously, I admire how strong these vines are, and that's with any of Ash's Pokemon that know it. Pikachu's up first, then the Darumakas, then the other two. While they are up there, they climb one more floor to see a giant Hihidaruma in Daruma mode! Wow, these things are fricken huge! Anyway, it seems to be in some kind of coma or something, as the Darumaka feed them the food they stole. Afterwards, they hand Ash something. I'm not sure what it is, but it apparently has to do with the bell that Hihidaruma is underneath. Dento explains, and apparently it was the hook holding the bell up. It apparenly had to enter Daruma mode so it could hold the thing up with Psychic energy. So, Ash and the others promise them that they will help them with the bell, which apparently upsets Hihidaruma.
Ash releases Pokabu to heat the hook up, while Dento releases Yanapuu to throw it up...in the air. But seriously, are they that lazy? It would seem to me that they could have easily done that part. Anyway, Hihidaruma doesn't approve, and spouts fire. THey throw it up again, and this time with the Darumaka's help, they weld it back on there. Now, Yannapu spits some seeds at it to make a perfect S. Ash sends Mijumaru out to cool it off. Pikachu checks to make sure its safe, and it is 8D
Afterwards, Hihidaruma levitates Ash and Pikachu to hang the hook up, however, Ash can't reach the bell. Hihidaruma drops them and enters his Monkey mode to thow the bell up, acrobat himself to the top, grab the bell, and hangs it himself! He pats his little pals on the head, then thanks Ash and friends for their help. Ash makes the 3 promise to stay out of trouble, which they do. And everybody laughs it off.
As they prepare to leave town, Nurse Joy stops them, and starts blabbering some Japanese which i can't understand. However, she seems happy, so I assume she's congradulating them and thanking them. Ash and company look up at the tower and see Hihidaruma and the 2 Darumakas waving them goodbye, and then the kids wave goodbye.
A nice way to end an episode, eh?
Now, my opinion. I really liked this episode. It had many elements which made it nostalgic and action packed, and I really like Hihidaruma now, seeing as he is an epic acrobatic juggernaut. His attitude really makes me happy too, as he seems like one of those people who like to see smiles and is really happy.

WARNING! THIS IS STILL RAW! NO SUBS! Thank you
Still though, Miju's face
but then Porky falls in love. Damn, that girl is good >:I So then Mamopato comes to the rescue and launches a gust at it. Smart move, but Shetaja dodges it. She then uses attract on him, but it doesn't work! So, Mamepato is a girl! D8 Ash is finding out the genders of all of his pokemon in one fricken episode! Anyway, Mamepato then slams her with a tornado of awesomeness, which knocks her out.
They're having Ash capture a lot of pokemon again, very similar to Kanto. Very different than the last few gens.
