A great ending to a great series!

This is the final installment of Toshihiro Ono's Pokemon manga series, and it's also my personal favorite! I'm a die-hard Rocketshipper, and the epilogue with the scene from Jessie and James's future is quite possibly the best picture in existence! I sincerely hope that the anime has a similar ending to the manga...not just with the Rocketshippy element, but the message of friendship and cooperation as well. Toshihiro Ono's artwork and storytelling are both brilliant and humorous, and this manga series is a class-act all the way! ^_^

A great comic and a wonderful ending

This is the fourth book in the series of Pokemon Graphic Novels, based on the newer episodes of the TV cartoon. Ash is competing in the Orange League, and eventually challenges the Supreme Gym Leader! Can Ash defeat him?I`m pleased to say this comic is just as good as the other three. The artwork is good, and the story and dialogue are amusing with some funny jokes. There are six chapters here instead of four. This is a good ending to the series (though its sad to see it go) and it could hold clues as to how the TV show might be wrapped up. If you believe in Jessie and James` love, you will like one of the pictures near the end... There are also some cute scenes featuring Ash and Misty.At the front of the comic, there are pictures and a mini comic strip drawn by Toshihiro Ono, which are funny.I really enjoyed reading this comic. Its nice to see the story of Pokemon in a different way, and it will appeal to Pokemon and comic book fans!

A Wonderful Read for Humans[and Pokemon] of all ages!

This fourth and final part of the Pokemon Magna is surely the best![Especially for Rocketshippers!] From the cute and enjoyable storyline, to Ono's beautiful illustrations, this is highly recommended for all Pokemon lovers!

a GREAT pkmn manga

In the final ediotio to the manga of Toshihiro Ono...i think this is by far..the best one! Ifyou are a rocketshipper (meaning you belive jessie and james are ment to be ^_~) you will LOVE this! It could be a backdrop for how he pkmn series ends..also there are many cute parts with ash and misty. If you love Toshihiro Ono 's mangas..you MUST buy this!
