Ash and the gang are finally at Blackthorn! It's part one of the Clair arc, where Ash assuredly attempts to earn his eighth Johto badge! Ep. 253 “Beauty is Skin Deep” reminds us that lizards shed their skin, and makes us think what the world would be like if other things shed their skin. We also meet Clair, Dratini and the mystical dragon fang. Ep. 254 “Fangs for Nothin'” continues the plot with the start of the gym battle, a dastardly Team Rocket plot into the Dragon's Holy Land and a cliffhanger tease you aren't going to want to miss! This is the start of a really cool arc and you are going to want to join in on the action!Subscribe to get every new episode of To Kill a Delibird in your subscription feed.
