The Big Match! Fire Pokémon Battle!!

(Japanese: けっせん! ほのおのポケモンバトル!! The Big Match! Fire Pokémon Battle!!) is the second episode in a series of three clip shows released as OVAs in 2000 called Pocket Monsters TV Special: Masara Town Arc Recap, available on rental-only VHS. They chronicled the events of the anime throughout Ash's Indigo League journey. This episode gives a brief recap of Ash's first four Gym battles, and shows select events from Pokémon Scent-sation! to Bad to the Bone. Unlike the previous episode, it contains no footage previously exclusive to TV clipshows and doesn't have any Dare Da? eyecatches, instead using brief humorous clips from the episodes to break up segments.
