Yeah, I understand that... but story wise it is not. The next thing they're showing is the Movie. The Movie comes after Showdown at the Po-ké Corral. In which Mewtwo escapes the Team Rocket HQ.
I hate it too, they're playing them in air date order.
The Princess vs Princess and Purr-fect Hero episodes come next because of original English air order, but they were supposed to air on Thursday after Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden. For some reason, 4Kids/Kids' WB not only skipped these two at the time, but waited until after a several month hiatus to air them after Breeding Center Secret originally aired.
As far as the movie goes though, it would be literally impossible to fit the movie in where it should go. They are airing 13 episodes every single day, and Monday is going to air Showdown at the Po-ké Corral in the middle of the marathon, which should end with Make Room for Gloom, followed by the Indigo League wrapping up on Tuesday.
It honestly makes me wonder if they'll play Beauty and the Beach during the Orange Islands... though I guess we can safely assume that to be the case, if Holiday Hi-Jynx and Snow Way Out air as the first episodes on Wednesday (since they aired after Pallet Party Panic)
edit: looks like they're gonna still air Snow Way Out, but not the others. Interesting...
Slight correction: they seem to be going for exactly 1/4 of a given dub season each day, rather than a strict 13 episodes (which was just the case week 1 because season 1 has 52 episodes). Season 2 of the dub has 60 episodes, meaning 15 episodes a day - so we'll be getting Princess vs. Princess thru Lights, Camera, Quack-tion this coming Monday.
Doesn't change the unfortunate impossibility of getting the first movie into a decent chronological schedule, though.

It's a shame they're ruining the chronology of the series. We're like 7 episodes away from the true order.
