After their victory, Ash released Pidgeot to guard the wild Pidgey so that Fearow would not return for a sneak attack. Ash promised to return for it after he was finished in the Orange Islands, but never did 😢
hella disappointed with how they wrapped up their return trip from the otherside, even if it was uneventful, the way they just tossed in a time skip really brought me back from the edge of my seat
