List of side story episodes
This is a list of side story episodes, a series of special episodes that originally aired as part of the Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station in Japan. When dubbed, these side stories became part of Pokémon Chronicles, alongside The Legend of Thunder! and several Pikachu shorts.
Ash Ketchum is not featured in a central role in the side story episodes, which instead focus on the lives of his friends, such as Brock, Misty, and Tracey, while Ash is off traveling the Hoenn region. The Team Rocket members featured are usually Butch and Cassidy, in place of the usual members Ash faces.
