Look there’s an incredibly strict definition of Game Show that you must check every presumed game show against that is as follows:
- It must require a competition
- The winner must obtain some kind of prize.
- It cannot be a sport.
Part 31: Knot, a Lot of Islands
Hotaru goes to an island…
… oh sorry, got distracted when I said “island.” Hotaru goes to the Sevii Islands to meet Bill’s friend, Celio. And while Celio might have a request to give a meteor to a guy, we’ve got more important things to do. Most of which involve exploring the rest of the island we’ve set foot on.
Okay, that’s all the time I’ve got. I gotta get back to playing Animal Crossing New Horizons on my Nintendo Switch.

Part 32: Berry Scary
Last time, we ignored the task we were given. But this time, we’re heading straight for the guy we’re supposed to talk to… only to have yet another detour. A young girl named Lostelle, through a cruel twist of fate that no one could have seen coming, is lost on Three Island. Worse yet, there are bikers on Three Island. And they’re menacing. How’s Hotaru going to get out of this mess?

Lostelle’s parents need to recognize their powerful naming magic and name their next kid Successean.
Hopefully they name their third child Billy Bob Enderofcapitalism.
I feel like, based on spelling or phonetics, Successean’s life could go down very different routes.
Part 33: A Draining Energy
Hotaru decides to take one last detour in her trip around Kanto by going back to… checks notes route 10, where there’s an abandoned power plant that’s so far gone unexplored. But there’s a whole lot of electric types camped out there, and boy are they fast.

Part 35: Secret of the Hidden Gym Leader
Alright, time to face off against the eighth gym leader, whose identity is-
… still a mystery please ignore the episode banner it doesn’t have to do with anything. Anyway, it’s the Viridian leader. Who is he? Who knows. But he’s got a lot of trainers willing to stand around fighting for a man they don’t even know, so he’s gotta be charismatic.

Bonus Part 1: Vacation at the Sevii Islands
Hotaru has conquered the Indigo League challenge, but there’s still one more challenge left for her: having a normal vacation. And given her track record, a trip to the Sevii Islands is going to be a lot more trouble than she’s looking for. Still though, Team Rocket and a few new Pokemon shouldn’t be trouble for Kanto’s newest Champion, right?

Bonus Part 2: What Lorelei-s Within
One gem has been obtained, but where could the second one be? We’ve exhausted places to check on islands one through three, so today Hotaru moves on to Four Island as the first stop in her search. Is the blue gem in the blue cave? The only way to find out is, sadly, leaving Azalea Town’s theme and heading into a cave. A cave with a waterfall. Woo.

Bonus Part 3: Brick Break the Rich
On today’s episode:
R E S O R T G O R G E O U S.
That’s right, Hotaru’s heading to Five Island. Will she find anything useful there, or is she just heading off to save some rich girl from a cave for the hell of it? I mean we didn’t find the gem with Lorelei so chances are it’s not going to be here, but I gotta keep up the mystery.

Bonus Part 4: Six Hours, Six Pokemon, Six Island
Not gonna lie, I have no idea what happened in this one. I just passed out one day and woke up with, “Cursed be Six Island” etched into my arm and a finished video on my computer, so I thought, “Guess that’s my work done today!” I’m sure it’ll be a fine day for Hotaru.

Bonus Part 5: Sapphire Braille of Pure Love
Hotaru has explored half of Six Island. Now, the southern half is up for exploration. Perhaps, this time, she can find that elusive other gem. After all, there are some ruins nearby. Where better to find a treasure?

Bonus Part 6: Admin-ing Your Mistakes
The Sapphire was stolen right under Hotaru’s nose, but the thief was kind enough to give her the second of two passwords to Team Rocket’s final stronghold. Now, she can move in and take her gem back, and make sure to actually take down Team Rocket this time. But just who’s in charge here if it’s not Giovanni?
