03x37 - Love, Totodile Style

[bunniefuu]

While heading for
Goldenrod City

the next stop on their
journey to Johto

our friends find a pretty
place for a Pokémon pit stop.

Hey guys...why
don't we stop here?

Who wants me t' start cookin' up
some o' my famous beef stew?

I do!

OK Goldeen, Staryu,
Poliwhirl, time t' play!

Don't forget t' always
swim with a buddy!

For you swimming's just as
tough as finding a buddy,

isn't it?

Hey..I forgot Totodile
..come have a swim buddy!

They're havin' a
blast aren't they!

Yeah.

Pokémon need t' have fun just as
much as their trainers do!

Wow.. Totodile's talented!

Yeah.. an' it certainly knows
how t' hog the spotlight.

Well that's because
Totodile's a real ham!

Love, Totodile Style

This is my best yet..

it's almost as good
as the kind in a can!

-Huh?
-Huh!

Look guys it's a Golduck!

A chance like this doesn't
come along very often...

I'm gonna catch it
before it gets away!

Wait a second Misty,
let's find out

what that Golduck's
doing here first.

It looks like it's lookin'
'round for somethin'.

Maybe it's just looking for a
trainer like me t' catch it.

-Hmmm.
-Golduck!

Have y' had any luck yet! ?

Oh dear..where
could it be? !

It's never been
gone this long!

Pardon me Miss.

perhaps I could be
of service to you!

The name's Brock an'
here's how y' spell it:

It's "B" like in big
brave Blastoise..

"R" like in rational Raichu..

"O" like in Oddish..

"C" like in Charizard..

and finally "K" as in
confounding Kadabra

wanna know my last name? !

Not.. really.

Now that y' know my
name what's yours?!

Well..ev'rybody
calls me Trixie.

TRIXIE?!

Oh what a simply
magical name!

My heart soars
like a Spearow!

Just the sound of that
sweet name makes me feel

like there's a flock o'
fluttering Butterfree

in my stomach!

Perhaps we could get
together and discuss

the origins of that name
of yours some time...

ANY time!

I-I..don't know...

OK that's it!

The show's ovah
Casanova, let's go.

Sometimes my friend
Brock goes goofy

when he meets pretty
girls like you.

I see!

Excuse me but did you
an' your Golduck'

lose somethin'?

Yes we're both
looking everywhere

to try and find my Azumarill.

Azumarill?!

There you are!

Azumarill what's wrong?!

I gotta check this out!

Azumarill, the
Aquarabbitá Pokémon.

The evolved form of Marril,
this Pokémon uses its large,

highly-developed ears to
hear great distances,

even underwater.

It's Totodile!

Totodile..

Totodile what's
the matter!?

A Pokémon circus?!

Uh huh!

When I was little I loved the
circus and I loved Pokémon.

So I taught all my Pokémon
tricks that were best

suited to their
special abilites..

an' now they all
perform in our show!

Sounds pretty cool.

Yeah..it must
be a lot of fun!

It is,

but we've been having a
little problem with our star.

Huh?

My Azumarill's acting...
different.. temperamental.

Sometimes it just disappears
right before showtime!

That's why Golduck
was looking for it!

Yeah..before my Golduck
joined the circus

Azumarill was a
happy Pokémon

who wouldn't dream of
causing any trouble

but now we spend
more time

chasing after Azumarill than we
do training for our shows!

Man at work, comin'
through watch your back!

What're y' doin' with
that light Brock?

What does it look
like I'm doing Misty,

I'm helping t' set
up the next show...

don't worry.. I'll make
sure everything's perfect,

perfect just like
you are Trixie!

Uhhh...thank you Brock.

Totodile what're
you doin' up there?!

Maybe your Totodile's
decided t' help out too.

Oh that's wonderful,

thank you!

What's makin'
Totodile act so goofy!?

Maybe you'll understand
these things

when you're a little older
and more mature.

Oh yeah?!

Azumarill's playing
hard t' get..

don't you give up
on 'er Totodile!

On second thought
maybe not!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

feast your eyes on Trixie
and her Fascinating Marril!

One, two, three!

Hey how did she do that?!

Trixie's really amazing!

She sure is and her magic
act's not bad either!

And now, the moment you've
all been waiting for,

get ready for the Amazing
Azumarril splash-tacular

Water Extravaganza.

Hey..

this is gonna
be great!

Azumarill.. rules!

No wonder Azumarill's
the star o' the show!

Is this even
part of the show?

This show's full
of surprises!

C'mon get down here!

Thanks everybody!

Ash saved the show but his
Totodile almost ruined it!

Yeah I think I better
do something about this.

DON'T YOU WORRY TOTODILE
I'M GONNA TEACH YA

HOW T' BE SUCCESSFUL
IN LOVE JUST LIKE ME!

You?!

Pretty impressive!

They put on quite a show.

Yeah well I don't care
how good it is

I don't want that Totodile usin'
my tail as a chew toy again!

We don't need to
take the Totodile,

if we just steal
Pikachu and Azumarill

we can still start our
own travelling circus!

And we'll be
rich in no time!

All right let's get ready
for "Operation Circus Swipe!"

Aye-aye sir.

Trixie I feel really
bad about wrecking

your show this afternoon.

Don't be silly you
didn't wreck it Ash

the crowd really loved it!

I only wish Azumarill
could learn that sometimes

we have t' share
the spotlight.

Ash have you seen Brock
around here anywhere?

Not since the show, why?

I wonder where he
coulda disappeared to..

Maybe he's with Totodile!

OK listen up love is w*r

an' if y' wanna win a w*r
y' gotta use ammunition!

I bet Azumarill'd love a jar o'
my homemade Pokémon treats!

Give her this an' I bet
she'll call a truce

or even an unconditional
surrender!

Be fearless...courage
leads to victory!

This could be a long w*r.

Oh no!

Azumarill, Totodile!

Hey Brock!

We heard you yelling
what's the matter Brock?

Just look there!

Prepare for trouble
and that's not a joke!

Make it double...

we just caught a "Poké!"

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, we're
in the spotlight!

Meowth..that's right!

Team Rocket!

What's the matter twerp?

Is Pikachu saving
electricity!?

Pikachu..let's try a
Thunderbolt Attack!

Now we gotcha!

Pikachu!

I hope y' ain't not too shocked
that we stole your Pikachu!

The cage worked perfectly!

Weezing give 'em
your Smoke Screen!

See ya later!

After while Totodile!

Totodile wait!

This is too dangerous
for Totodile!

TOTODI-I-I-I-LE!

You mean it's gone?

Team Rocket came an
Poké-napped Azumarill

an' Pikachu an' it was
all my fault Trixie.

Save the slobbering,
Team Rocket's probably

headed for the forest on
the other side o' the lake

- I say we head there too!

We better hurry.

There's no time to lose,

if they get away we may
never get the chance

t' see Azumarill
or Pikachu again.

Come on Azumarill ..let's see
one of your showstoppers!

The show's
already stopped.

At least do a bunny
hop or somethin'.

Well maybe this
little prima donna

has to be whipped into shape!

Don't be so
barbaric Jessie!

Ignore her Azumarill..

we want you to be happy
and we know that performing

makes you very happy so how
about a little happiness?

I'm not gonna let this
Aquarabbit mess with my hair!

And I'm not going to let
it mess with my mind!

If you mess with
this Azumarill

we won't have a show an'
we won't have money!

All right!

I still don't see why we have t'
suck up to this circus freak!

You heard Meowth Jess...

we have t' treat
Azumarill like a star!

Well.. it's all
for you star!

Now listen you...

we've tried being nice and
we've tried being nasty!

And if it's all
the same t' you

we'd prefer sticking
with nasty!

I've had it with you!

You leave us no choice,
we're forced t' use force!

HERE WE...

Now that was nasty!

Hey look who's the hero!

Totodile! ?

Well this oughta stop ya!

Now with Totodile we're gonna
put on a really big show...

we got enough for a
three -ring circus!

I guess today must
be our lucky day!

Azumarill!

Pikachu!

I thought for sure we
would've found 'em by now.

Yeah so did I.

We've been
looking all day.

It'll be getting dark
soon..do y' think

we should start searching
again tomorrow morning?

Yeah..fine.

We'll find you!

Please give my
compliments to the chef.

I'll have another
bowl a milk

an' don't be stingy
wit' the cream.

This steak is
too well done.

Take it back and
make it rare!

All right Pidgey try
t' find that balloon!

An' hurry!

I sure wish Charizard
was here right now.

I wish we'd eaten
all that food.

Well that's what we get
for trying t' be nice

to a Pokémon on an
empty stomach!

Hey pipe down Pikachu!

Who cares if our Pokémon
circus scheme didn't pan out,

even if Azumarill
won't perform the Boss

will pay us handsomely
for three rare Pokémon!

Yeah!

Let's.. GO!

There's Team
Rocket's balloon!

Pidgey..you
know what t' do!

Pikachu!

Got ya!

All right give us
back that Azumarill!

NO..why can't you
twerps be satisfied

with two out of
three Pokémon? !

We only got one star
t' hang on to

an' we ain't lettin' go!

Golduck go get her now!

Go Weezing!

Arbok you too!

I choose you Bulbasaur!

Use your Razor
Leaf Bulbasaur!

Use your Water
g*n Totodile!

Our star!

OK hit 'em with your
Thunderbolt Pikachu!

Looks like Team Rocket's
blasting off again.

Hurray!

Bulbasaur get
Azumarill out o' there!

You won the w*r of
love now run to her

an' claim your victory!

I don't get it, why're those
two huggin' each other? !

Azumarill really likes
Golduck not poor Totodile.

Huh! ?

Now I see.

This explains why Azumarill's
been acting so strangely

...she's been lovesick
over with Golduck!

Y' can't expect t' win
every single battle.

But love's worth fighting
for an' if you're brave

an' courageous
an' never quit

you can come out a
winner...just like me!

Well it was really
great t' meet y' Trixie!

Oh it was great
meeting all of you too.

Thanks t' you
Azumarill's secret's out

and we're happy again!

Trixie it's time for us to
part but rest assured

that whenever you need me
I will fly to your side

the moment you call even
if you call collect.

Hang it up Brock.

OK guys let's get goin'!

What's the matter Pikachu?

Totodile..

c'mon Totodile what're y' ...

C'mon, we gotta go!

I think Totodile just
found a new girlfriend!

Oh great..just
what we need..

a Pokémon that acts
just like Brock!

O-K boy...hit her with
everything I taught y'

an' don't give up
'til ya win her!

Ash wait for us!

Today everyone,
especially Totodile,

learned that courage,
persistence and passion

are the only surefire
ways to success.

They'll need plenty
of all three

as they continue their
perilous journey

on to the Johto League.
