Journey to the Orange Islands

Pokémon the series follows Ash's adventures in different Pokémon leagues. The Orange Islands are adventures from the second season. Journey to the Orange Islands covers the opening of this season when Ash, Brock and Misty travel to the Orange Islands on an errand to fetch an unusual poké ball.

Tracey West's adaptation covers the first three or four episodes of the second season. Ash, Misty and Brock meet up with an a young artist, also named Tracey, and Brock finds a new home. The second season expands the pokémon world as Ash learns that different environments have different sorts of pokémon.

Tracey's writing style is a little simplistic at times but the story is still interesting enough to keep fans of the series entertained. I haven't seen most of the later seasons so I am looking forward to reading through my son's collection of books from seasons 2 and onward.
