Oh my...

I'd read every episode in the series, but considering you might not have the time or patience to read your way through 60 stories right now, I'd recommend you begin with Red Fork's Rampage. It's actually the eigth episode of the series, but it's very important in terms of plot arcs, since it's the first one to introduce Dr. Zack, as well as many of his original minions, such as Electra, Blade, Miss Bloomina, Bob the Blob, Johnny McSplat and Payton Piranha. However, even in that story, there's still a few plots that are continuing from The Attack of the Opposite and Ponies vs. Inklings, but yes, I'd say the first important story in the series is Red Fork's Rampage.

After that, you might want to read just about any story in the series that focuses on Dr. Zack or any of his minions.

Check the main page: IaLR: Heroes of Echo Creek. There you'll not only see the entire list of episodes with their respective links, but you'll also be able to see a brief summary of each episode. Use these summaries to decide which stories you should read. Personally, I think that even though there's many characters and plots going on in the series, there's two main plots that have received the most focus in the series, and are therefore, the most important for you to know:

1) Pea's main plot, which is the plot of the elemental ninjas. For this, read any story that focuses on Kyoji, Akasha, Shogo, or anyone else who is an elemental ninja, for that matter.

2) My main plot, which is Blast & Dr. Zack's plot. This plot basically introduces the characters and plots I created a couple of years ago for Blast's original universe. For this, read any story that focuses on Dr. Zack and his minions.

There's several other plots going on in the series, such as the Food Dimension, the Hybrids, the Gemstones, the Sea Creatures, the Ponies. Basically each group of characters has their own plot going on. However, I think the two plots I mentioned to you are the most important ones you'll need to understand in order to be able to understand the series.
