Narrator: Ash is
back home in pallet

to train for the pokémon league.

But, as he's about to discover,

he's not in
for a day at the beach.

OK, if everybody's here,
we'll be on our way.

Hey, Mom, what's going on?
Where's everybody going?

Ash, I thought I told you.

A bunch of us
from the neighborhood

are taking a little trip
to seafoam Island.

You are?

It's got a cool beach. I'll
bring you back a seashell.

Don't goof off while we're gone.

You're going to the beach, too?

Your Mom and her friends invited
us to hit the beach with them.

Misty and I are gonna
try windsurfing.

Great! I'll come
with you!

Uh-uh! You have to start your
pokémon league training at home.

Pikachu?

This way, everybody.
Let's get going.

The waves are waiting for us.

Take care of mimey for
me. Don't train too hard.

I love you! Bye. So long.

[Groans] It's not fair.

Pika.

Mime, mime, mime, mime, mime.

[Keyboard clicking]

Huh?

[Groaning]

What's wrong, Professor?

Do you have a headache?

No, ash. I've been
wracking my brain for days

trying to solve a great
mystery of pokémon evolution.

What mystery?

Take a look at this.

Here we have a slowpoke,
and this is a shellder.

When the shellder clamps onto a
slowpoke's tail, it becomes a slowbro.

So that's how
a slowpoke evolves.

Yes, but I can't figure out
why it happens.

[Groans] I've got
to solve this mystery.

Why don't you just use
a Pokédex to look it up?

The Pokédex doesn't have
the answer, either.

Ash: Hmm...

Wait! Professor Westwood!

If there's anyone who knows
the answer, Westwood does.

Professor Westwood?

He's one of the pokéologists
who programmed the Pokédex.

Ah. Professor Westwood
lives on seafoam Island.

That's the Place where my
Mom, misty, and Brock went,

isn't it, Pikachu?

Pika!

I think visiting him

would really help with
my training, don't you?

Pikachu.

♪ Mime, mime,
mime, mime ♪

♪ mime, mime, mime ♪

It's beach time, mime.

Mr. Mime.

Narrator: Now that he has
an excellent excuse...

Uh, I mean, reason, ash
heads for seafoam Island.

All right!

Pika!

Hey! Hey, you guys!
Over here!

Ash, you're supposed
to be training!

I knew he'd goof off
if we left him.

I came here to do
some special training!

Did he say "training"
or "tanning?"

Aaaaah!

Brock: We're meeting
Professor Westwood. Awesome!

What's so great about him?

Professor Westwood's the
guy who programmed the Pokédex.

See, I told you I was
coming here for training.

Pika.

[Doorbell rings]

Ah, who have we here?

Wow, is this where you work on
the Pokédex, Professor Westwood?

Ah! Professor
is much too formal.

My friends and associates
all call me Westwood the fifth.

The fifth?

Pika?

Yes, the fifth.

Here you see my
great-great grandfather

Westwood the first.

And his son, my great
grandfather Westwood the second.

And that's his son, my
grandfather Westwood the third.

And there's my Father,
Westwood the fourth.

And there's me, the one
and only Westwood the fifth.

All the paintings
kind of look alike...

Except the last one's
a little abstract.

[Clears throat]
Well as you can see

I come from a long line
of pokémon researchers.

Now that's
an interesting pokémon.

You mean togepi?

I've never seen another
pokémon quite like that one.

Togepi sure is cute, isn't it?

Togepi!

Yeah, and I'm updating
all my research materials

about the rarest
legendary pokémon.

I'm into legendary
pokémon, Westwood .

You must have tons
of information on them.

Only what I've created myself

because I'm not convinced
most of them exist.

Right now I'm working on a
fictional account of the subject.

You mean you're making stuff up?

Aah! Well, I guess
you could say

I'm making stuff up, I suppose.

Forgive me Westwood the first, the
second, the third, the fourth, the fifth...

I forgot, that one's me.
[Clears throat]

He's a little eccentric.

I think it's probably
hereditary.

He must have gotten it
from westwoods one through .

At the moment I'm solving
a real-life mystery,

surely but slowly.

Look, a slowpoke!

Westwood: I want to discover why
shellder attaches to slowpoke.

I just don't understand why
they evolve into slowbro.

Huh?

Professor oak hasn't been able

to figure that out, either.

I need to study
slowpoke and shellder

until I come up with a theory
to present at the symposium.

The what?

The pokémon symposium,

the world's most respected
group of pokéologists.

Hey, Westwood , why are
you sitting there fishing?

Shouldn't you be
studying slowpoke?

I am. Fishing is
part of my research

into slowpoke's life cycle.

All: Huh?

You see, slowpoke is one of
the few pokémon that fishes.

Wow. Slowpoke must
be smarter than it looks

if it catches fish.

I'm gonna check to see what
Dexter has to say about slowpoke.

Dexter: [Beep] Slowpoke,
the dopey pokémon.

No one can tell what
a slowpoke is thinking...

If it ever does think. Its
specialty is fishing with its tail.

It's not very nice to
call slowpoke dopey.

Is that what you called
it, Westwood the fifth?

Maybe one of my assistants
wrote that particular entry,

but dopey does sound like an
accurate technical description

of slowpoke's mental capacity.

Ash: I have to admit
it doesn't look too smart.

Aren't you gonna defend
yourself, slowpoke?

Slowpoke.

Pika?

Pika pika!

Ahhhhh.
Pi?

I know I've seen that
expression somewhere before.

Psyduck.

Hey, it's the same clueless
expression Psyduck has!

Why can't you stay
in your Pokéball?

Toge.

Slow.
Pika.

Psy?

Poke.
Pi?

Duck.
Pik pi?

I bet this isn't the most intelligent
conversation in pokémon history.

Psyduck, can't you tell slowpoke

to stop acting as dim as you do?

Psyduck? Psy-yay.

Slow poke.

Psy?
Slow?

Psy?
Poke.

Now what?

I think they're
just saying hello

but we could be here all day

before they think of
anything else to say.

Oh, yeah.

Psy?
Slow.

Psy?

Poke.

[Krabby clicks]

Psy-y-yay!

Pika?

Pika, pika.

I guess it takes quite a while

for that big a pain to
find that small a brain.

[Quacking]

Po-o-o-oke.

Look, it's got a bite.

Well, at least it's
good at something,

unlike Psyduck.

Psy-y-y-duck.

She didn't mean it, Psyduck.

All this fishing's made me
hungry. Let's go have some lunch.

Brock: I want pizza!

Misty: Let's try
that taco stand.

Ash: Those hot dogs
sure looked good.

Pikachu: Pikachu!

Ahh, a nice relaxing
day at the beach

is just what I needed

after the stress of having team
rocket headquarters destroyed.

[Mewing]

You deserve to relax, too.

[Purrs]

[Meow]

[Sobs] Just look at how the
boss fawns over that feline fink.

First the boss has us
swabbing the deck of his yacht

and now he's got us
digging for clams

like a couple of clam diggers.

Keep digging till you hit China

or he'll make us
take another pay cut!

Mess up again and we're fired!

Why don't we bury Meowth
in the sand head first?

[People giggling]

Hmm?

[Sigh] Everybody's
having fun but us!

[Grumbling]

Jess, I think I just
discovered a colossal clam.

Look, it's a shellder.

Shellder!

Oh, you're a wise guy, huh?

Don't stick that tongue out
at me, you crummy crustacean!

I know how to
clam you up but good!

Wheezing, I choose you.

Go!

Wheezing.

You're acting like that twerp.

I just wanted to be
in his goody-two-shoes.

Wheez...

Ing!
Shell!

Poor wheezing.
It got shell shocked!

Shellder!

Look, that's an ice beam.

Wheezing, use your haze attack.

Wheezing. Wheez.

Shell!

Yes!

Pardon me.

Shellder. Nice capture.

[Groans]
That's no fair.

Our leader wants to
see you immediately.

Huh?
Huh?

I'm getting sick and tired

of watching you
blundering fools.

Aaah! Ooh!
[Groans]

Boss: Don't fail
me again or else.

Would you like to find
out what "or else" means?

[Laughs] Uh, no, we can
figure it out, thanks.

I want you simpletons

to break into the laboratory

of the famous
Professor Westwood.

It may prove very useful to me.

Oh! Looting laboratories
is one of our specialties.

We'll crack the joint
right away.

Don't mess this one up.

All: Right.

Who's that...

It's...

So a slowpoke will only
evolve into a slowbro

if a shellder
clamps onto its tail.

So then what's the big mystery

you're trying to solve,
Westwood the fifth?

Take a look at this
computer simulation.

Hmm.
Hmm.

Huh?
Pika?

Westwood: See here.
Before it clamps on,

shellder has a hinged shell.

But after it evolved,
shellder has a spiral shell.

Look at that.
Interesting.

It's one of the most perplexing
mysteries in the pokémon world.

If I could solve
the shellder puzzle,

I'd go down as the most
renowned researcher

in the history of
the pokémon symposium!

They'd replace the
Westwood family portrait

with a statue of me!
[Laughing]

Westwood's a little weird,
isn't he?

Mmm. Yeah.

[Boat engine]

Oh! Look,
it's a parasail!

That's so cool!

I want to try it.

Hmm? It's heading this way.

All: Aaaah!

[Grumbling]

Hey, what in the world
is going on?

Prepare for trouble.

Make it double.

To protect the world
from devastation.

To unite all peoples
within our nation.

To denounce the evils
of truth and love.

To extend our reach
to the stars above.

Jessy.

James.

Team rocket, blast off
at the speed of light.

Surrender now
or prepare to fight.

Meowth, that's flight.

Are you the Professor
who programmed the Pokédex?

Yes, I am.

Well, now you're going to
program the team rocke-Dex.

Here are all the vital
statistics you'll need.

"Jessy, the beautiful
female member of the team.

Her brilliant mind is surpassed
only by her style and personality."

[Laughs]

"James has the looks
of a movie star,

the agility of an athlete and a
head that's too small for his brain?"

That's me.

"And Meowth,
the feline mastermind

whose diabolical plans
never fail.

The only thing sharper
than his mind are his claws."

I'm also humble and housebroken.

Ohh.

It's all lies.

A Meowth that can speak.

What, you'd expect me to bark?

What are you
troublemakers doing here?

Oh, no, they have
some nefarious plot

to kidnap me and
make me their sl*ve!

They want my superior intellect

to help them rule the Planet!

Please, the first, the second,
the third, the fourth, the fifth...

You gotta help me! Save me
for the sake of the westwoods.

Oh, I forgot again,
that's me. [Clears throat]

We don't want a Professor.

We want to steal all the
pokémon we can get our paws on.

Please, not Professor!

Call me Westwood the fifth!

I'll call you Henry the eighth.
Just give us the pokémon!

But that slowpoke is the
only pokémon I've got in my lab.

Slow.

Are you sure you don't have
anything a little smarter?

Poke?

You're right,
it ain't too bright.

But when we get through with it,

the boss will be in
for a big surprise.

[Laughs] We've been
conducting our own research,

and we've got something
to make slowpoke evolve

with just one bite.

Our shellder chomps down
on slowpoke's tail,

we get a slowbro
to bring back to the boss

and I get my saucer of milk!

Slowpoke, quick!
Get out of here!

Poke.

[Grunts]

All: Aaaah!

Come back here!

Whaaah!

OK!

Aaaah!
Aaaah!

Shellder, [laughs] Go!

Shellder!

Slow.

I thought you were a slowpoke!

Let shellder bite you
or you'll never evolve!

Hey, leave slowpoke alone!

Hold it, ash!
We're at the ocean

and water pokémon
are my specialty.

Staryu, I choose...

Shellder.

Psyduck, not you!

Slowpoke.

Psyduck?

This is a case of
no mind leading no mind.

Pika!
Toge.

Fascinating. I can present
this to the symposium.

Shellder!

It's gonna be a psybro.

I never heard of a psybro.

That's because
there's no such thing.

Shellder, you've got
the wrong pokémon!

Get off of Psyduck and
take a bite out of slowpoke!

Psyduck!

Psy-y-y-y-y-duck!

Psyduck-duck-duck-duck!
Psy-y-y-y-duck!

Wow! Psyduck used
its tail wag attack!

I made up that psybro thing.

Wheezing, make sure that Psyduck

is permanently quacked up.

Psy-duck-duck.
Psy!

Good work, wheezing.

Psyduck, run away!

Psy-y-y-y!

Ohh! webbed left feet.

Shellder, clamp onto
slowpoke's tail now!

Shellder!

Psy.

[Sigh] Now that's
what I call dumb luck.

Psy-y-y-y-y-y!

[Grunting]

Psyduck!

Psyduck only uses
its most powerful attacks

when it gets its most
powerful headaches.

Psy!

Pika!
Togepi!

[All gasp]

I can't move!
My whole body's stuck!

That's it, Psyduck!
Nice disable attack!

Psyyyyy...

Who am I? What am I?
Where am I?

All right! It's confusion
attack worked!

Pika!

I've read about these attacks,

but this is the first time
I've seen them.

H-oh?

Psy?

Team rocket: We're
sandblasting off again!

Psy!

You did great, Psyduck!

You're awesome!

Pika!
Duck?

Psyduck just saved you from
those kidnappers, slowpoke.

Why don't you give it
a big thank you?

Ahh. Slowpoke.

Shell!

[All gasp]

Poke.

Yay, shellder!

Now we can steal a new slowbro

instead of an old slowpoke!

Poor Psyduck tried
so hard to stop them.

Slowpoke.

Oh, slowpoke is
beginning to evolve.

Ahh.

Chu!
Toge!

I'm the first researcher
to witness this.

Slowpoke evolved into slowbro

and shellder chaned
into a spiral shape!

Slowbro.

That was so cool!

I'm sure glad we were
here to see it happen.

We're sick of playing
these shell games!

Huh? Huh? Huh?

Slowbro, attack
these kidnappers!

What kind of attack
does slowbro have?

A very powerful one.

Aaaah! Aaaah!
Aaaah!

It's called the mega punch.

That sounds powerful to me.

All:
Here we come, slowbro!

Slowbro.

Slowbro, mega punch attack.

Slowbro?

What's the matter?

It seems that slowbro is
suffering from the effects

of one of its own attacks.

Its own attack?
An attack of what?

Yaaaaah! Ha ha! Aaaaaah!

Of amnesia.

[All groan]

That's supposed to make
its opponents forget.

Slowbro.

Oh, now you remember mega punch.

Ready or not here we come!

Hah! Slow...

Bro.

Meowww!

Owwww!

Aaaaah!

Pikachu!
Gepi!

We really took it on the chin.

I always thought that thing
looked a little punchy.

All: Looks like team rocket
got knocked out again!

I've figured it out!

My report will be
the talk of the symposium!

I'll get a standing ovation!

So why does a shellder
clamp on to a slowpoke's tail?

Because it's
mutually beneficial.

What does that mean?

That means it helps them both.

Such an arrangement benefits
both pokémon, as I will demonstrate.

Shellder clamps
onto slowbro's tail

which helps slowbro balance
when it stands on feet.

Mm-hmm.

This way, slowbro's
front legs are free,

so it can use attacks
like the mega punch.

That makes sense.

And because it's clamped
onto slowbro's tail,

shellder may now travel on land.

I must make sure
to get all this down.

Shellder.

Slowbro.

Wow! That was
really amazing!

But, ash, you missed
a whole day of training.

Learning all about
different pokémon

is part of my training, too.

Especially if you're
at the beach.

Psy, psy.

What's wrong, Psyduck?

Duck!

Psyduck.

Psyduck probably wants
to say good-bye to slowbro

before we leave here.
Don't you, Psyduck?

Psy.

Psyduck.

Slowbro.

Psyduck.

Slowbro.

I've heard of not knowing
how to say good-bye

but this is ridiculous.

Narrator: And so, our heroes have learned
the mystery of slowbro's evolution.

What new mysteries will
ash and his friends uncover?

Tune in next time and find out.

Slowbro.

Psy.

Narrator: Don't worry,
we'll still be here.

Ash: Don't go away,
Pikachu's jukebox is next.
