03x02 - The Double Trouble Header

[bunniefuu]

After meeting some new
Pokémon in New Bark Town,

Ash and friends are on
the road to Violet City

to compete for his first
Johto League Badge.

I sure am glad we got t'
see a real live Totodile!

Yeah and that Cyndaquil
was one o' the

cutest Pokémon I've ever seen!

Too bad we didn't get
t' see a Chikorita.

What'sa matter Pikachu? !

We're gonna train
hard, hit hard,

an' knock everybody
outta the box!

We're in the big leagues
and we're playin' hardball!

What's that girl doing?

One... two... three

strikes, they're out!

The side is retired and
Chikorita wins the game!

The Double
Trouble Header

Chikorita...

the Pokémon Champion

pulls out another amazing
ninth inning victory

and the fans
are going wild!

Hey..a Chikorita!

Cool!

Let's check out what
the Pokédex says.

Chikorita, the Leaf Pokémon

Chikorita releases a sweet,

relaxing fragrance from
the leaves on its head.

That little headband
makes Chikorita

look really sporty,
doesn't it? !

I bet ya that girl's
just starting out

as a Pokémon trainer

and she got her
Chikorita in New Bark Town

from Professor Elm.

Let's see what kind
of attacks it uses.

Now taking the field for
the visitors is Rattata . . .

and on the mound
for the home team

is the vegetation
sensation,

the grass type that'll mow
the competition down...

THE ONE! THE ONLY!

CHIKORITA!

It's game time!

Play ball..tackle
attack NOW!

And the first one's
low and in the dirt

but Chikorita's
just warming up.

This next one's coming
straight down the plate!

GO!

Perfect strike!

Chikorita's smokin'
tackle attack knocked

Rattata right outta the box!

This game is over!

Another Team Casey win!

Will the fans please
rise and salute Casey

and Chikorita by singing
their victory song? !

We all love Electabuzz

No other team's the same

The players charge the field
and Electrify the game.

They pitch and catch
and run so quick

Their baseball bats
are thundersticks.

Their power hitters
the trick Electabuzz,

our favorite pick

We love their yellow color

and their black stripes
are the best.

Electabuzz.

They're better
than the rest.

YAY!

Chikorita Return!

Hey, no!

I don't believe it, an
honest t' goodness Pikachu!

Yay! Yay!

I just love those
powerful pin stripes

and that shocking
yellow coat!

Your Pikachu's
a grand slam!

Hey.. easy that's a
high voltage Pikachu!

Ya think it'd
really shock me?

What a blast!

I always wondered
what that's like,

come on Pikachu,
turn on the juice.

Gimme a taste!

No Pikachu, she doesn't
know what she's sayin'!

Come on ya little
rat gimme a jolt!

Don't do it PikAAAAAA
AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Bad idea!

I tried t' tell ya!

Thanks a lot.

Don't mention it.

I think he's grounded.

My name's Casey.

I'm a HUGE baseball fan

an' I just became
a Pokémon Trainer.

We really like
your Chikorita.

Did y' get it from
Professor Elm?

I sure did!

See I told ya!

I come from Pallet Town
and my name's Ash Ketchum!

An' my name's Brock!

Everybody calls me Misty!

Pleased t' make
your acquaintance.

Oh I'm just crazy
about yellow Pokémon,

especially with stripes.

That's why I think your
Pikachu's so adorable,

but the Pokémon I want

more than anything in the
world is Electabuzz!

Someday I might even
have a whole team

of beautiful yellow Pokémon

and all of them
with stripes!

How come y' like yellow an'
striped Pokémon so much Casey?

Cause my family's been
rooting for the Electabuzz

for three generations!

You mean the Electabuzz
baseball team?

That's right!

An Electabuzz fan, huh?

No wonder you're
so full of energy!

But don't the Electabuzz
always finish in last place?

This season's
gonna be different!

This season they're
gonna win the series!

No way!

The Electabuzz'll get
creamed by teams

like the Magikarp
and the Starmie!

You quit saying bad things
about the Electabuzz!

They're gonna
beat everybody!

The Electabuzz
couldn't beat an egg.

Oh yeah.. an' what about
all the great hitters

that're on the Electabuzz?

Those guys aren't
hitters..

I've seen better swings
on a playground!

That's the last straw!

Uh?

We're gonna settle
this argument

with a Pokémon battle!

Uhhhh...

Nobody gets away with
insulting my favorite team!

But you don't stand
a chance against me,

I'm an experienced trainer!

I don't care how
experienced you are

nobody makes fun of the
team my family roots

for especially a little wimp
who knows zero about baseball

and even less
about Pokémon!

All right you're on!

Well it looks like we
finally found somebody

as stubborn an'
hotheaded as Ash.

Let's have a three on
three Pokémon battle!

I won't have t' use
all o' my three!

She's new at this Ash!

Don't be too tough on 'er!

But hurry up, we gotta
get t' Violet City!

Don't worry Misty it won't take
me very long t' win this one.

Choose your first
Pokémon Casey!

My first one's the last
one I'm gonna need!

Casey's ready to
deliver the pitch...

I choose.... YOU!

A Pidgey.. boy
that takes me back.

I remember when I first
started training and catchi...

C'MON QUIT BABBLING AND START
BATTLING WILL YA? !

OK but just remember you're
the one who asked for it!

I choose you, Charizard!

Ash is gonna battle
'er with Charizard!?

I think this game is
gonna be a shutout!

That saggin' dragon o' yours
doesn't scare us Ash Ketchum!

Pidgey, Quick Attack now!

Pidgey Return!

I'll use my pinch hitter.

I choose...

Rattata!

All right Rattata!

Keep your eye on
the Charizard

and tag it out with
a Tackle Attack!

Rattata struck out!

That's two down one t' go!

Oh yeah! ?

Rattata return!

Casey..maybe
y' better quit.

My grandpa says "it ain't
over till it's over"

an' this match is a
long way from over!

An' now stepping
up to the plate...

here's...

CHIKORITA!

C'mon Chikorita it's
the bottom o' the ninth!

It's Vine Whip time!

Don't choke!

Charizard..use your
Flame-thrower

but try t' go easy on it.

Chikorita!

Chikorita is
unable to battle!

Ash wins the match!

I can't believe it
was a total shutout.

Chikorita...return.

Cheer up.. y' gave it
your best shot Casey!

Yeah ya played
a great match,

especially for a rookie!

Misty's right!

An' now that it's over

let's shake and
be friends..

whaddya say Casey? !

Just leave me alone!

Casey wait!

Must be hard for a tough
kid like that t' lose.

It's hard for anybody!

But that is what happens

when y' challenge
a great trainer!

Yeah, you should know
about that right?

After everything my
family told me...

How can I ever
face them again?

Daddy an'...
Grandpa...

Your..girl's a loser.

For generations this family
has had a proud tradition

of cheering only for our
heroes on the Electabuzz

but now Casey we have a
new hero to root for

and that hero is you!

We're mighty proud
of you Casey,

you're the first member
of this family

ever to try to become
a Pokémon Trainer.

So take a lesson from
The Electabuzz:

they never give up,
and neither should you!

Keep trying your best and we'll
never give up on you either!

We'll be rooting for the
Electabuzz and for you too.

I'll make you
all proud of me

and no matter what
happens I'll never quit!

Casey Casey she's our girl
Best Pokémon trainer

in the whole wide world!

Well..win or lose I am
gonna make them proud o' me

..the Electabuzz
don't give up

and I'm not gonna
give up either!

áI'll keep trying ..

I'll try just as hard
as the Electabuzz do

and nothing's
gonna stop me!

I made a promise and
I'm gonna keep it!

Spoken like a true
Electabuzz fan!

With guts like that,

you're bound to beat
that twerp next time!

Electabuzz!

Electabuzz!

They play the game
like nobody does!

Everybody's cheering
and it's because.

Swing it!

Everybody loves..
Electabuzz!

Are you ballplayers?

No we're not players we're
just rabid Electabuzz fans!

Electabuzz fans! ?

I'm the BIGGEST
Electabuzz fan of all!

We saw you battling against

that little league
Pokémon Trainer.

We all thought
you shoulda won!

Yeah...

Cheer up, he's beaten
us a million times

but we're not licked!

Huh?!

My friend means that you never
had a chance against that

no good conniving
sneak of a trainer!

Y' mean Ash is a cheater?!

A big one!

But not as big as we are!

Just between you and me,

that twerp's got a reputation

for violating a
little-known Pokémon rule

that forbids using a Charizard
against new trainers

and then laughing about
it behind their backs!

An' he's probably
tellin' his pals

what a chump that
Electabuzz fan is!

I have to get
even with him!

Why not battle him again

and this time you'll be ready
for all of his dirty tricks!

YES! I'll show Ash he
can't cheat an honest fan!

Do it for the sake of all the
other trainers he's cheated!

Do it for the honor
of the Electabuzz!

Just do it!

Yeah..let's go
beat that cheater!

This time things are
gonna be different Ash!

The only thing that's
gonna be different

is that this time you're
gonna wind up oh for two!

You're not gonna beat ME!

Let me tell you something
Mister All Star Trainer..

don't think you're
a hall of famer

just cuz you beat
me exactly ONE TIME!

Yeah that's the
spirit Casey!

Brock, aren't we supposed
t' be on Ash's side!?

I usually root
for the underdog

'cuz the underdog
is usually Ash!

I didn't think of that.

Destroy 'im Casey!

Go Casey!

Some friends they are.

Now a Pokémon rematch

and this time it's a
whole new ballgame fans

as Casey goes into her
wind-up, the kick,

and she delivers....

Here we go again...

looks like we're gonna sweep
the double header Pikachu..

your turn t' step
up t' the plate!

I still may be a rookie

but you're not gonna fool
me with your dirty tricks

like ya did in
our first match!

Chikorita use your
Sweet Scent attack!

That's so relaxing.

Chikorita Tackle
Attack now!

Welcome sports fans

to today's Pokémon
double trouble header!

This brawl game's
already underway

and Chikorita's in
the lead so James,

tell all the fans
about our nasty plans!

Well Jess after those
two little shortstupes

get through battling and
wearing out their roster,

Team Rocket'll take the
field AND their Pokémon!

This scheme oughta get us
inta the Hall o' Shame!

Yes well just make sure you
don't commit any errors Meowth!

Don't worry about
that coach..

Meowth's on the ball..

an' so's our
rootin' section!

What's that?

Gotta catch 'em all!

Gotta catch 'em all!

Say that's pretty
cool Meowth!

That's cuz they're
electric fans!

THANKS FANS
I'LL DO MY BEST!

An' now I'm gonna
even up the score!

Not if I can help it!

Pikachu Thunderbolt Attack!

Pikachu's attacks
aren't working!

Ash, Chikorita's
a Grass type.

They're strong against
Electric attacks!

Go, Chikorita hit up the middle
with a Tackle Attack now!

That's a line drive!

Nice hit!

Now the next
batter steps up...

and it's the real
hitting machine

o' the Team Rocket line up!

Uh oh..what is
that thing for?!

HA!.. don't act like
you don't know..

they said you were a
cheater and this proves it!

I'm ready for your
tricks this time buddy!

What are you talkin' about?

I don't need t' cheat t' win.

You're the cheater.. I
can win fair and square!

I'm an Electabuzz fan!

I always play by the rules.

That thing's headed
right for the Pokémon!

Look out!

-Pikachu!
-Chikorita!

They're hit deep to
straightaway centerfield...

They could be outta here...

A home run!..

Now we'll run home with
our two new Pokémon!

Pikachu!

Chikorita!

It's them!

Attention twerps, it's
"Prepare for Trouble" Day!

But you're both out,

which makes it
a double play!

To protect our team
from devastation.

To excite our side
with a big ovation!

To strike out the evils
of truth and love!

To extend our reach
with a baseball glove!

Jessie

James

Team Rocket..

throws their fast ba*ls
at the speed of LIGHT!

STRIKE THREE!

WE WON JESSIE!

JAMES!

JESSIE!

That's right!

That's Team Rocket!

It is?!

Your Pokémon'll make
us rich, girlie!

We're tired o'
bein' poor sports!

How could I be fooled by such
no good thieves like you?!

Just lucky.

Sorry to hit and run but
our work here's done.

You're not goin'
anywhere 'til y'

give us back our Pokémon!

That's what you
think twerp!

But I'll throw y' a curve..

some sinkers and sliders too!

I'm gonna have a
ball with this!

AIM AN' FIRE!

OW! I give up! I give up!

We can't just quit an'
let Team Rocket beat us!

A Pokémon match is
just like baseball.

Y' gotta take whatever the
other team throws at ya...

..an' hang in there
'til the last out!

An' maybe you'll
get that big hit!

I forgot t' mention..

there's one big
difference between

a Pokémon match an' Baseball!

What's that?

A Pokéball's not...

a bean ball.

Well this match isn't
over 'til it's over!

It's my turn at bat...

..an' this time I'm
not striking out!

That's it!
Keep swingin'!

Now Casey's
batting a thousand!

She's hitting everything
they throw at 'er!

All of a sudden that little
worm's a big-league slugger!

You said you had
things under control!

Yeah but in the late innings
I always lose control!

Don't look now but even
our automated pep squad's

turning against us!

Gotta hit 'em all Gotta hit
'em all Gotta hit 'em all

Now for some ace relief
from the Poké-bullpen!

Let's put this
ballgame away!

Squirtle, Bulbasaur,
I choose you!

Pidgey, Rattata,
I choose you!

Rattata , Line drive!

Hurry up Pidgey
tag 'im out!

Glad you're back on
the team Pikachu!

Chikorita..

..are ya ready t' send
'em to the showers!?

Well... looks like we're
goin' inta extra innings!

But I have a feeling
this game may be called

on account o' pain!

Chikorita Razor Leaf!

Pikachu Thunderbolt attack!

Now... ...Pikachu...!
...Chikorita...!

Double Tackle Attack!

Looks like Team Rocket's
striking out aga-a-a-a-in!

Good bye!

Wow! Team Rocket's
outta the park!

Who woulda guessed that
those three flops

would become such a big hit!

Thanks again for
accepting my apology Ash.

I never should've let
those three crooks

trick me into thinking
you were a cheater.

That's OK.

They used t' trick me
when I was a rookie too!

Yo-u-u-u-u? !

But that was a long
time ago, right Ash?

Yeah.

If I keep trying just
like the Electabuzz do

maybe someday I'll be a great
trainer just like you are!

Yeah..an' I'll start
training harder

'cause you're gonna
be tough t' beat!

Maybe we'll even battle each
other in the Johto League!

Pikachu.. if I ever get my
own team of yellow Pokémon,

I hope they're all as brave
and beautiful as you are!

Bye guys...

and thanks!

Bye Casey!

Good luck on your journey!

Hmmmm.

That Casey's gonna be a
very interesting young lady.

áWonder if she
has a sister!?

áI can't wait till
we meet again!

Cuz the next
time I see 'er..

she's not gonna be
a rookie anymore.

She's gonna be..
...a real pro.

Though they go their
separate ways,

Ash and his new friend are
headed toward the same goal:

becoming the best Pokémon
Trainers they can be.

With practice, patience
and determination,

they just may get there.
