I had no clue what any of your riddle meant but I'll bump this cause I'm just that nice. Obligatory riddle of the sphinx Q: what walks on four legs in the morning, two at noon and three in the evening. A:[sp]a human being (hands and feet as a baby, legs as an adult and legs and a cane as an elder)[/sp]

If I am correct it's the episode that Ash challenges for the fire badge or something. Right? :v:
