03x08 - Snubbull Snobbery

[bunniefuu]

On their journey to Violet
City and Johto League glory,

our heroes find themselves

in the majestic
town of Palm Hills.

Look't all these
humongous houses!

They aren't houses.
They're mansions.

It says here Palm
Hills is famous

for its sprawling estates
and sweeping lawns.

I'll say!

Look at the size o'
that one over there!

It's huge!

Sweeping lawns, huh..

I wouldn't even
want to mow it!

I bet it would be fun t'
play hide n' seek

in a house with
that many rooms!

Hey, Do ya think maybe
they'd let us camp out

in their garden?

Somehow I don't
think so Brock.

Have you searched
everywhere?

All the usual places.

You keep looking and I'll keep
Madam from getting frantic.

Right.

Lookin' for what?

Snubbull Snobbery

Hey..look what Togepi
and I found.

What is it?

It's a map that'll show us
where all o' the stars are!

I know where the
stars are, Misty

No. Movie stars....

it shows where the houses
of the movie stars are!

Who wants t' waste
time lookin' at houses?

Sounds boring t' me.

Oh really, Brock?

Well lots of your
favorite actresses

live in those
boring houses!

So what are we
waiting for!

Wait up!

Hey a Growlithe!

Somethin's makin'
Growlithe awf'lly upset.

Ya gotta settle
down now Growlithe

otherwise we can't
even try t' help ya!

Wonder what's wrong.

I think somethin's
been chasing it, Brock.

Is that a Pokémon?

Wow it's a Snubbull!

I've never seen one
o' these before!

Cool... Let's see
what Dexter says.

Snubbull, the
Fairy Pokémon.

While it may appear
gruff and grumpy,

deep down Snubbull is a
kind and caring Pokémon.

It must be kind and
caring way deep down.

You better let an
expert handle this..

Y' won't snub me
willya Snubbull?

Hey look..

Pink ribbons! . . .

I guess that makes
this Snubbull a girl!

I guess you are huh..

A grumpy girl who's not
afraid t' chase Pokémon..

that reminds me of
Misty in a way!

In a good way!

There you are..

Madam your Snubbull
has been found

and she's perfectly
all right!

Hello Snubbull!

Here I ammm...

Thank goodness..

Are these children
the ones responsible

for saving my
precious Snubbull?

They are.

I simply cannot
thank you all enough.

Snubbull disappeared last
night and ever since

I've been in a terrible
state of panic imagining

the poor thing lost ..

come here precious..

There there isn't
that better now?

Snubbull I know
you've had a scare

but there's no need
to be upset

..after all you're
going home now!

Please join us for lunch.

Ahh.. okay...

I don't know what it
is but all of a sudden

I feel like I'm
at the airport.

And the driveway's
as long as a runway!

Hmmmm...

What's the matter Brock?

I don't know, but
if you ask me

Snubbull doesn't seem too
happy to be going home.

It's like a palace!

Or a castle!

It's filthy outside

so we mustn't forget
to wipe off our feet!

I bet there are fifty
rooms in this house, huh?

Jeeves would know
the answer to that.

How many rooms do
we have Jeeves?

Eighty-six at last count.

Right..We're planning an
addition to the West Wing.

There's no time for
the grand tour

but perhaps you'd like to
see Snubbull's wing..

Uh..sure...

This is Snubbull's
bedroom on Saturdays.

She watches all her favorite
cartoons here every weekend.

This is Snubbull's
walk in closet.

It's so big it oughtta be
called a drive-in closet

not a walk-in closet!

It has to be roomy
because I couldn't bear

for Snubbull to have to
wear the same thing twice.

We all know how
important exercise is

so I had this workout room

built to keep
Snubbull in tip-top shape.

Seems nice but I think
if I was Snubbull

I'd rather be running around in
that gigantic yard down there.

I'm trying to keep
Snubbull healthy

so I hate to send her out
with all that harsh sun

and polluted air!

And this is her private
Snubbull bubble bath.

Well, I don't see
too many bubbles,

but it sure looks like

we're gonna have a tough time
gettin' them outta there!

Snubbull's really very
lucky to have someone

who takes such good
care of it.

Thank you dear.. I've
spared no expense

to make sure my Snubbull
is perfectly happy.

Perfectly happy huh..

I'm not so sure
about that..

Well..it's time for
Snubbull's lunch..

I certainly hope you'd
still like to join us.

Would we ever!

We're starved!

Wow! I've never seen a dining
room this size before!

That's because this isn't
the dining room dear..

it's only our humble
little breakfast nook.

This looks great!

Even the food's rich!

Please everybody.

-Help yourselves.
-Thank you..we will!

Not bad huh Pikachu!

It is delicious
isn't it Togepi!

Don't you like it
Snubbly wubbly? . .

I'm sorry Jacques but you'll
have to clear the table

and bring back something that
Snubbull will actually eat.

But Madame I have tried
everyzhing I know

but still Madamoiselle
Snubbull will eat nozhing!

Perhaps she eez
simply not hungry.

That just can't be...

there must be something
special you can make for her.

I know.. I always carry
a little somethin'

in my bag t' snack on..

they've gotta be in
here somewhere..

here y' go
Snubbull..popcorn ba*ls!

But Brock there's no way
Snubbull's gonna wanna eat them.

Even I think
they taste awful!

Well! . .

If that isn't the most adorable
thing I've ever seen! . .

I'll see to it that
from now on we have an

endless supply of the finest
popcorn ba*ls money can buy.

That was easy.

I have a feeling that
Snubbull's been lookin' forward

to a taste of reality
for a long time.

Maybe the luxury life's not
all it's cracked up to be.

Get a load o' these digs!

Anybody who lives in a
house this swanky

must have more dough
than a pizza parlor!

They prob'ly have the
pizza parlor too..

that's how it is for
the upper crust.

James'd know
'cause he was born

with a silver spoon
in 'is mouth..

Yes it's true..

but we had to get rid
of it right away

to make room
for my foot!

It's not fair.. Why is
it always the rich

who get to have
all the money?

All I know is the only
kinda pool we had

when I was growin' up
was a cesspool.

For your information
growing up with everything

can be terribly
hard on a child..

as a boy I used
to get so bored

that the servants
would have

to take me fishing in
our pool which was

so devastating as you
can probably imagine

because I never
caught a thing.

You've got some nerve
fishin' for sympathy!

We'll smash ya till every
bone in your body

knows what it's
like to be broke!

C'mon you two..this
mansion is full of treasures

that are ours
for the taking

if we can just sneak
in quietly enough!

They're never gonna
hear us Jessie..

they've got money comin'
out of their ears!

What's that?

I don't know...

I think.. that Pokémon
iscalled a Snubbull...

The jig is up!

Hey you hold
it right there!

Whatta you think you're
doin' with that Snubbull!

Getting away from it
as fast as we can!

They're closin' in!

What're you
waitin' for Meowth?

I'm runnin' as
fast as I can

but I got a Snubbull
on my tail!

Fancy meeting you here!

Well, There goes
the neighborhood!

And who let you losers in?

Outta the way twerps!

We just happen to be
very special guests here.

Hey first
things first..

Forget about them
for a second

and get this thing
offa my tail ...

Can't you do
anything yourself!

Let go! Let go I said!

Well hello Precious.

Mummy is happy to have
Snubbull home too.

Wait!

Go Weezing..Smoke
screen attack!

I can see how
terrified you are

but I promise I'll never let
you out of my sight again!

I can't believe Team Rocket
showed up here of all places!

I wouldn't be surprised
if we haven't seen

the last of them

Maybe it's me but I couldn't
help noticing Snubbull

seems a little unhappy..

She's not unhappy dear
she's just nervous

like most brides on
their wedding day.

Wedding day?

She gets so grumpy I
decided she was lonely

and needed a companion.

Let's see!

Here comes th' groom!

His name is Winthrop
Snubbullfeller.

A real dreamboat
don't you think?

They're going to make
such a lovely couple.

Maybe Snubbull isn't
gettin' lost after all..

maybe she's just
plain runnin' away!

Yeah!

Maybe she doesn't wanna
get married to Winthrop

and she's just tryin' t'
escape before the ceremony!

I really don't think
that Snubbull likes

all that smothering
and pampering either.

She doesn't exactly have
a lotta freedom, does she?

Well, we certainly
don't want to be late

to meet Snubbull's
new husband.

We'd both love it if you'd
come to the wedding later..

Uh.. okay.

Oh, that sounds
really great...

Whaddaya think
we should do?

I don' know for sure..

but we gotta try
t' help Snubbull.

Let's go before this "tail"
gets any more pathetic!

Meowth..You're not the
only one who deserves

to have a happy ending.

I agree..and the only way
we're gonna get it is

if we activate our
Snubbull stealing plan.

Good idea James..

and I think I know just
what to use for bait..

Sounds kinda
fishy t' me..

I'm sure you can tell by
Snubbull's behavior..

we're just delighted
to meet you.

I assure you young Winthrop

and I are equally delighted to
meet you and your Snubbull.

I must admit that
I've never seen

such a distinguished
and well-groomed groom!

You've obviously raised
your Snubbull

to be quite the
charming young lady.

They're absolutely
perfect for each other!

I'm sure they're going to
get along just beautifully!

Does your Winthrop have
any interesting hobbies?

Winthrop likes nothing
more than staying inside

and sampling his store
of gourmet bones..

Isn't that right Winthrop?

I'm so pleased to hear that
since my little Snubbull

is so fond of fine food and
indoor activities herself..

aren't you darling?

They're going to be
so happy together.

I couldn't agree more!

Enough is enough!

Hello there..

did you come to bring
Snubbull her wedding gifts?

Maybe you oughta
start thinking about

your Snubbull
once in a while!

I am dear.

That's why I asked
about her presents!

If you were really
thinking about 'er

you'd know that she doesn't
want wedding presents

'specially since she doesn't
even want a wedding!

She just wants room
to be herself

but she doesn't get it

with you smothering
her all the time.

But children..keeping
her close

and giving her everything
is the best way

to show her I care!

No it's not!

Tada!

Just what do you
think you're doing?

Prepare for
Snubbull trouble.

Make it double
trouble Snubbull.

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!

Meowth! That's right!

Is it too late t' worm
my way outta this?

What's the matter Snubbull?

-You caught a Snubbull!
-And a wide mouth Meowth!

If I'da known I
was the bait

I'da tried to get
off the hook!

Snubbull come
back darling!

We finally caught one..

That Snubbull's a real beaut!

We better do
something quick Ash!

Don't worry I'll
handle this..

Oh no, you won't!

We figured you could always use
another pair of cuff links,

Sorry to break up the party!

And the marriage!

I'm in extreme pain here.

Come back!

Snubbull!

I can't believe we're trapped
in this crummy shed! . .

I hope you're happy..
stuck on an estate

surrounded by
servants and enemies!

Actually I am happy 'cause
it reminds me of my youth.

This is no time
for nostalgia..

Meowth where did you park
our getaway balloon?

Mosta these rich people
are so fulla hot air..

I thought this would
be a good place

to have the balloon refilled..

I'll see if it's ready...

The balloon wasn't empty
but your head obviously was!

I've had about enough of
your air-brained schemes!

Not exactly the sharpest tool
in the shed are you Meowth?

Snubbull don't like it
when ya threaten me, see.

I hate to say it but
I think Snubbull might

really like Meowth..

What's not t' like?

Then again actions speak
louder than words..

In that case Snubbull
just said a Meowth-ful.

Even if they're not
best of friends..

They are still inseparable

There's no way they
could've gotten away

'cause we've got the
whole place surrounded..

All we hafta do is
keep lookin'...

They're prob'ly
hiding somewhere...

I can't take it anymore!

-There she isl!
-My Snubbull!

-Meowth!
-Get back in here!

-Ah-hah!
-Huh?

There they are!

Over here!

Lets get outta here!

Come on out Arbok..Go!

Go, Weezing!

Go Heracross!

Heracross stop that..Quit
snacking and start attacking!

Heracross use your
Horn Attack now!

Get this offa me!

Stop behaving that
way Snubbull..

you're going to get hurt!

Stop it right now!

Good job Snubbull..
Keep it up! .

How could you!

You try it..

just tell your Snubbull to
use her Tackle attack....

T-tackle attack...

Now we're gettin'
somewhere!

All riiight!

Okay Arbok!

Show 'em how to tackle
when you tackle it back!

There's her Scary
Face attack!

I'd hate t' hafta
t' face that!

Snubbull's got a
great Bite attack!

I guess that was what
you'd call a "bite"

to the bitter end..

I'll take
over from here..

Go, Victreebel.

Snubbull..I never knew you
had so much extra energy!

That wasn't very
dignified was it?

Stop right there!
Catch 'em..!

Don't let 'em get away!

Don't look now!
They're after us!

Just in time.. run for it.

Heracross stop 'em with
your Horn attack now!

Looks like Team Rocket's
flipping out again!

Great job!

You really showed'em.
Way to go, Snubbull!

I'm so proud of
my brave Snubbull.

I hope Snubbull won't
be lonely now..

I'd certainly hate to see
her turn grumpy again

when she realizes that
Winthrop is gone..

Something tells me

she would've been even
grumpier if he had stayed!

She'll be okay by herself.

I have a feeling
Snubbull

was never all that lonely
in the first place.

You're right..now that
I've seen her battle

I know she can be
very independent

..from now on I'm going
to be less overprotective

and let her lead a
more normal life.

Then I'm sure
she'll be happy.

Take care of
yourself, Snubbull.

The new exercise yard
is ready Madam...

We've brought in the
finest materials

to recreate a look of
nature just for Snubbull.

You see.

Enjoy yourself.

I'll be right here whenever
you're ready to come back.

I've got plenty of popcorn
ba*ls if you get hungry!

I guess it's time
we're outta here.

G'bye now Snubbull!

Good luck on the
rest of your journey!

Thanks.

Thank you so much
for everything

you've taught me
about Snubbull!

G'bye! Bye!

With our heroes' help,
Snubbull's trainer

is learning that her Pokémon's
affection has to be earned..

by paying attention,
not money...

And so our friends are
on their way again..

but they may not be
the only ones..

Maybe we should've
made it bigger..

let's draw up some
plans for an expansion..

we could put in
a waterfall...
