Added DiffLines:

* BreatherEpisode: There is no really ill intent that happens in this episode. Even Ash, Dawn, and Brock work together with Jessie and Meowth to help train James and his Cacnea and a lot of heartwarming moments happens in this episode making it one of very few episodes in the series to have zero conflict.


Added DiffLines:

* ADayInTheLimelight: This episode focuses heavily on James and his Cacnea.


Added DiffLines:

* EnemyMine: Both Ash and friends and Team Rocket put aside their differences in this episode to help James train his Cacena to learn Drain Punch.


Added DiffLines:

* SincerityMode: Everyone (Ash, Dawn, Brock, Jessie, and Meowth) are all sympathetic with James and Cacena trying to train hard to learn Drain Punch even helping them to train. Jessie and Meowth also try their best to console James after he gives Cacnea to Gardenia.
