03x04 - Roll On, Pokémon!

[bunniefuu]

When we last left our heroes,

Ash, Misty and Brock were still
bound for Violet City....

but the road ahead is bound
to have some ups and downs!

Oh wow!

Look a' that!

What a great view!

It's gonna be a nice
hike through this valley!

C'mon..the sooner
we get started

the sooner we get
t' Violet City!

Great, more adventure.

I guess we're gettin'
off to a rocky start huh.

Let's get goin' before
it happens again.

The rolling
stones missed us!

I hate rocks that roll!

I wouldn't mind if
it was soft rock!

It's nice hangin'
out t'gether.

Maybe Meowth's plan isn't
such a good idea after all.

A LITTLE FALLING
ROCK CAN'T STOP US!

Looks like...

Roll On, Pokémon!

I heard somethin'!

Guys it's a Pokémon!

Let's see what kind.

Donphan,
the Armor Pokémon.

With its strong
tusks and tough skin,

Donphan is known for its
powerful Tackle Attack.

The length of a Donphan's
tusks indicate its level.

Sounds good t' me!..

now..I just
gotta catch it!

-Just a second Ash.
-Yeah...?

I think it's best
if I capture this one.

What makes y' say that?

Just look at those tusks.

See how short they are compared
t' the ones in the Pokédex?

Yeah.. so?

It's young and needs a good
breeder t' help it grow...

and that should
obviously be me!

I'll help it grow!

Don't be selfish Ash

think of what's best
for that Donphan!

I'm what's best
for that Donphan!

-Well I say I am!
-Now...

C'mon guys..there's really
nothing for you t' fight over..

the Donphan's leaving!

WAIT!

Where are ya goin'?!

We can't let that
Donphan get away..

Onix.....

GOOOOO!

Onix, use your
Tackle Attack!

ONIX!

That was fast!

You tried your best Onix.

Better take your best shot.

OK..I'll try
somethin' new.

I choose you.. Heracross!

Heracross..try a
Tackle Attack NOW!

QUICK.. stop that Donphan
with a Horn Attack!

Great job..it's gettin'
tired Heracross..

one more attack an'
that should do it!

That's enough!

Donphan..are
you all right!?

So..you thought you
could steal my Donphan!

I should turn you
in to Officer Jenny.

Please..don't do that Miss

we didn't know that Donphan
belonged t' you honest.

.. my friend an' I
thought it was wild..

isn't that right Brock?!..

hey Brock..
where'd he go...

I tried...I tried to
tell him your Donphan

must belong to someone
with rare talent!

And I can see I was right...

Uh?.. What did you
say your name was?

I didn't but..
it's Rochelle.

I won't keep you in
suspense my name's Brock.

My what a
beautiful necklace!

Thank you ..it's amberite.

Ahh...Amberite eh?...

Very appropriate!

Brock what's amberite?

A gemstone!

Amberite's so precious

that it used t' be
worn by royalty,

just like gold
or diamonds.

Cool!

I should go

but please don't try to
catch any more Donphan here

'cause they belong to me.

OK I won't.. but since
you're a trainer

how 'bout if you an'
I have a battle instead?

Thanks Ash but I think
this little one's

had enough battling
for today..

c'mon let's go home now!

Hey Rochelle how
about tomorrow!

Oh well it was..
worth a try.

You were great
Heracross..return!

Don't you worry Heracross..

we'll win a real
battle soon!

What a gem..so
absolutely priceless ..

I never imagined

there'd be such a treasure
hidden in this valley..

never imagined anything so
precious and beautiful...

It's just a rock!

I think he means Rochelle.

I've got things covered
down here Jessie!

I'm on patrol up here!

A-OK!

PIPE DOWN WILL Y' OR
YOU'LL WRECK EV'RYTHING!

What's wrong Meowth?

Whoever said humans is the
most intelligent creatures

never met these two!

The reason we're wearin'
these forest ranger get ups

is so we can dig
around in the valley here

and not attract attention!

We can look for
that amberite

an' nobody'll
get suspicious..

An' if we find enough
of it we'll all be zillionaires!

It's so valuable!

And it's so beautiful!

A gemstone so dazzlingly
exquisite it's fit for a queen!

Sounds good t' me!

That is if we get
enough o' the stuff!

All right let's find the
amberite and get rich quick!

Where d' we start
digging Meowth?!

We're in luck
'cuz I found out

that there's one guaranteed
way t' find amberite..

I overheard two guys
talkin' about the secret.

It was back at that rest
stop on the mountain

when the two o' youse
was takin' a snooze.

He-e-e-y..that
looks like amberite!

That's what it is!

I got all o' these samples
from a Donphan trainer

who lives down
in the valley..

the only way t' find
top quality amberite

is t' have a Donphan
sniff it out!

Mmmm... I wish I had one!

Havin' a Donphan's
like havin' a goldmine!

All we gotta do now is
snoop around this valley

'til we find us one
o' them Donphan!

And then what?

Then it leads us
t' the amberite

and we land on easy street!

Easy Street here we come!

Ready t' try Donphan?

Okay..this is amberite..

Give it a good sniff!

We just found
ourselves a Donphan!..

I think this is a
cause for celebration!

Let's celebrate
with some fireworks!

Let's see if this fire works!

Donphan!

We'll take real
good care of it!

Donphan!

It feels good t'
finally do somethin'

totally one- hundred percent
perfect doesn't it guys!

And we owe our success
to the brilliant plan

of our favorite
Pokémon Meowth..

you're a genius Meowth.

What's with the fan?

It's for all this hot air!

Hello there little Donphan..

let's get this
show on the road..

start diggin'
for that amberite!

You find those
stones right now

or I'll pack you up in
that trunk you punk!

Easy Jess..it's not going t'
help us if you scream at it..

maybe if we coddle
it with kindness

it'll lead us
to the amberite!

A smart little Pokémon like
you deserves a little snack..

enjoy it Donphannie!

Hello! can you hear me?!...

Sweety! Please come back.

-Rochelle?
-Misty!

What's the matter
Rochelle what's wrong?!

It's obvious that she can't
bear t' be separated from me,

I heard you calling
but I'm here now..

but don't worry Rochelle

I'll never leave
your side ever again!

Get real, Romeo.

Gotcha...ow..oh..easy..easy

I'm real..I'm real...ahhh!

Tell me.. did you
happen to see anybody

dressed in an
orange jumpsuit?!

No we haven't.

Please tell me if you do
because they took my Donphan.

Did ya get a good
look at 'em?!..

how many of
'em were there?!

There was one guy one girl
and one talking Meowth.

It's Team Rocket!

Isn't that cute Jessie..

Donphan's really
enjoying its shrub grub!

Maybe you'd like a little
amberite for dessert!

QUIT PIGGING OUT AND
FIND THAT AMBERITE!

Now now... Donphan's
almost finished Jess..

then I'm sure our little
friend here will be full

and ready find some
won't you Donphan!

Get ready you guys..
wherever it stops..we dig!

We may get a little dirty
digging Jessie....

...but we'll all
be filthy rich!

It's here!

This must be the spot!

The faster we dig in
the sooner we clean up!

It won't be long now..

..'til we hit paydirt!

No use guys..
it's not working.

Zubat's Supersonic
isn't working out here..

there're too many trees

and the sound gets
all deflected.

There's gotta be some way for
the Pokémon t' find Donphan.

What's that?

Her herd heard!

Good job..you
got here fast!

Rochelle, these Donphan don't
all belong t' you do they?!

They do..and I train all of
them answer to this whistle!

Rochelle.. that's
really impressive..

but why didn't
the lost one come?

Well unfortunately Team Rocket
took my youngest Donphan!..

I haven't had time
to train it yet..

Okay now..go out there
and find our friend!

I think we may've dug
ourselves into another hole..

and there's no
amberite in it!

Maybe somethin's wrong
with Donphan's sniffer!

Please find us
some amberite..

I know your nose
knows where it is!

Hey look..kit's got
a whiff of something!

Hey..! More Donphan!

Oh no..They must be
this one's buddies!

Well what're we
gonna do now?!

There they are!

Why is it ev'ry time
somethin' rotten happens

you three are
always behind it!

When Team Rocket's around
be prepared for trouble!

Multiply by two
and 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.

Jessie

James

Team Rocket blast off
at the speed of light.

Surrender now or prepare
to fight for amberite!

Me-e-owth that's right!

Great now why don't y'
just make things easy

and give us back the Donphan
and we can all be on our way.

Hand it over you guys!

Aaaaa we ain't handin'
Donphan over t' nobody...

not 'till it finds
us some amberite!

How come?

They must've
taken my Donphan

because they heard Donphan
can be trained t' find amberite.

I say we get rid o' these
pests and find that amberite!

Right! Let's do it Victreebel!

Get in there and battle Arbok!

How many times do I have to
tell you-you're on MY side!

Don't worry Rochelle I'll
protect you from these three!

Go Onix!

Victreebel, Wrap Attack!

Quick Onix..Bind Attack!

Victreebel use your
Sleep Powder Attack!

Onix no!

Now it's our turn Misty!

We'll stop 'em!

I choose you Heracross!

Poliwag.. I choose you!!

They don't stand a
chance against us!

We're gonna squash that
squirt and mug that bug!

We'll just see about that..

Poliwag use Doubleslap attack!

Now switch t' Bubble attack!

Hey, let go..you're
squishing me..

go squash the
squirt will ya??!?!

You're crushin' Me-owth!!

Quick Heracross..
use tackle attack!

Not again.

Great job Heracross.

Now use Horn Attack!

OK Pikachu Thunderbolt
Attack now!

I can't believe
this is happening!

I dunno why!

Just like every other day..
we're getting blown away!

Looks like Team Rocket's
blasting off again!

I was worried about you!

I'm glad we're
back together too!

I guess y' must be
pretty impressed by us.

Oh I am Brock,
you were all amazing

but the one I
fell in love with..

was Pikachu naturally!

I wonder why Team Rocket
couldn't make your Donphan

find any amberite?

I know why..Donphan have
t' be trained t' find it..

I just started
teaching this one

but it hasn't had
enough practice

t' find amberite
on its own yet!

Well as usual
Team Rocket wound up

with exactly what
they deserved!

Absolutely nothing!

Maybe you'd like t'
see a demonstration

of how the Donphan
find amberite!

Yeah that'd be cool!

I'll use the Donphan
I've had the longest

because it has the
most experience..

OK Donphan.. time t'
find some amberite for us..

That's right..you
remember this, dontcha!..

OK go find it!

It looks like it's sniffing!

I guess that's how
they find the amberite.

It musta picked
up the scent!

That rockslide we were in

musta come from
a Donphan looking for amberite!

Well here's what
amberite looks like!

Wow..it's so shiny
and beautiful!

Whaddya do with all the amberite
after ya find it Rochelle?

Lots of artists and
craftspeople live nearby..

they make their living
carving statues and jewelry

from amberite..

so they count on
me to supply it

and luckily my Donphan
are strong enough t' find it!

They sure are.

Ash isn't there anything
I could do t' thank you

for helping me get my
little Donphan back?!

I know!...

it'd really help me get
ready for the Johto League

if you'd battle me with
your Donphan..whaddya say?!

I'd love to!

Yeah!..

would it be OK if y' use that
one there with the big tusks?!

You got it!

C'mon Ash..you
can win this one!

Yeah.

I choose you Heracross!

Go Donphan..Tackle Attack!

Heracross use your Endure!

Okay..now give it a toss!

Nice recovery Donphan..

now show 'em your
Roll Out Attack!

Heracross look out behind ya!

Heracross!

Let's go..this is no
time to stop for a snack!

He's never said
that before.

Donphan.. finish it off
with your Tackle Attack!

Heracross use your head!

Heracross..throw
it wih your Horn!

Perfect!

Quick Donphan..turn
it into a Roll Out!

Now use Tackle Attack!

Heracross no!

You sure put up
a great battle!

Especially against an
experienced Donphan like mine!

That's true...

we just need..a
little more training.

But even so we almost beat
'em didn't we Heracross!

You did!
You're a great team!

And Heracross is strong!

It's only gonna keep
gettin' stronger

just you wait an' see!

Brock's right!

It takes time for a Pokémon
t' get to know its trainer

and become the
best that it can be!

Don't you worry Heracross,

pretty soon you'll
be unbeatable!

Bye guys..and thanks
again for your help.

G' bye Rochelle
an' thank you too.

Hope we see y' again!

A grateful Rochelle bids
our friends a fond farewell

as they head once
again for Violet City.

And though Ash and Heracross
may have lost this time,

they've both gained
valuable experience.

That experience
will help prepare them

for the challenges
that lie ahead

in their journey to
the Johto League.
