Season chronology |
This is a list of episodes in Pokémon: Adventures on the Orange Islands, the second season of the Pokémon animated series (ポケットモンスター Poketto Monsutā?, Pocket Monsters), continuing the adventures of series protagonist Ash Ketchum as he travels to the Orange Islands with Misty, Pikachu, and Tracey.
The second season of Pokémon overall aired in Japan from January 1999 to October 1999 on TV Tokyo and in the United States from December 1999 to October 2000 on The WB Television Network. Around the time the September 11th attacks have occurred, an episode titled "A Scare in the Air" was temporarily removed out of rotation on U.S. television.
The Japanese opening song is "The Rivals" by Rica Matsumoto. The ending songs are "Type: Wild" by Rica Matsumoto, "Pokemon Ondo" by Sachiko Kobayashi, Koffing, and Ekans for one episode, and "Riding on Lapras" by Mayumi lizuka. The English opening song is "Pokemon World" by Russell Velazquez.
The division between series of Pokémon is based on the English version openings of each episode, and may not reflect the actual production season. The English episode numbers are based on their first airing in the United States either in syndication, Kids WB, or on Cartoon Network. (Other English-speaking nations largely followed either this order or the Japanese order). Subsequent airings of the English version follow the original Japanese order, except in the case of episodes which are no longer shown in English. The episodes that make up this portion of the series in Japan were subtitled Orange Islands Chapter (オレンジ諸島編 Orenji Shotō Hen?). This series aired first-run episodes in Japan from February 4, 1999, to October 7, 1999. In the United States, it aired from December 4, 1999, to October 14, 2000. In 2007, starting from the episode The Pokémon Water War, Pokémon started airing on Toonami Jetstream (incorrectly counted as Pokémon: The Johto Journeys episodes; however, they are technically part of season 3). In this season, Ash captures a Lapras and a Snorlax. The Lapras is then released. "Pikachu's Special toy" made its return for this season.
