In "Ultimate Betrayal..." Ash muses about the dark emotions he feels towards those who told him he would never be the very best like no-one ever was, and, when they meet again in a heated confrontation, he doesn't need words to let them know exactly where they stand.

Then, in the Neopets epic "Faerie Wars I: The Six Kingdoms," dark faerie Nereza learns what her light sister Uriele is capable of, and finds it deeply disturbing.

Finally, we read a one-off "possible first chapter" of something called the "Dr. Who Harry Potter Crossover Challenge." Will we be able to rise to the occasion? Will we even be able to decipher the parameters of the "challenge" it puts forward?

Music featured in this episode includes tracks by Christoffer Moe Ditlevsen and Rayo Z.

Previous Episode

Absolute Law

After Ash Ketchum was betrayed by his friends and family, who told him to give up on his dream of ever winning a championship, Ash fled to Mt. Silver. This next chapter starts with a fifteen-year time jump. But, despite more time passing than he had previously been alive for, starting a family, and mastering the use of his "aura" to literally talk to pokemon, that fateful childhood disagreement is still the defining moment of Ash's life... and it's only a matter of time before that wound is reopened.

We also begin a new series this episode: The Neopets epic "Faerie Wars I: The Six Kingdoms," which was published in the Neopian Times. While you can listen to it in the full VODs, the edited version of this one's a podcast-exclusive. The story follows sisters Uriele and Nereza, a Light and Dark faerie, respectively, who are each gifted in different ways and are being trained to one day lead their tribe. The Light faerie Uriele has a habit of disregarding the rules, however, and indeed certain ethical boundaries as well...

Next Episode

A Cat Without a Can Opener

After the death of the faerie sisters' mother, Nereza confronts Morwen about her complicity, and Morwen lets loose a torrent of bullshit to cover her ass. Then, in “Ultimate Betrayal...” the big tournament begins, and Misty loses her shit battling Ash’s daughter Jade. Finally, we close with an auto-generated story about Pepe LePew that turns out darker and more surreal than we expected, prompting comparisons to Lost Highway and planting a creative seed in Michael's mind for a fanfic we'll read later on.
