04x31 - Spring Fever

[bunniefuu]

male narrator:
After meeting up with

their old friend Todd,
our heroes have now joined him

on his search for the elusive
legendary Pokémon, Articuno.

- Wow, look at the
size of that mountain!

- Are you thinking the same
thing I'm thinking, Ash?

- I bet that's where
we'll find Articuno.

- You just might be
right about that, guys.

- A picture of an Articuno
would be really valuable, Todd!

- Yeah, it'd be
my most prized picture.

- This looks like
a nice place to stop.

Anybody interested in lunch?

all: I am!

- The air up here makes
the food taste even better!

- Togepi!

- Oh I'm sorry, Togepi,
you must be thirsty.

- Here's a nice cup of water.

- Togepi!

- Swinub!

- [yells]

- [munching]

- Well, looks like
we have a lunch guest.

- What is it, Brock?

- Looks like a Swinub.

- Swinub!
- Swinub!

- Swinub!

- Swinub!
- Swinub!

[munching]

- Swinubs eat fast!

- Pika.

- [singing]
Pokémon, Pokémon, Pokémon

- Let's do it.

I wanna be the very best

Like no one ever was

Ever was, ever was

To catch them is my real test

To train them is my cause

My whole life has led to this

Time to test my skills

I know I just can't miss

Gonna show the world

Born to be a winner

[Swinub munching]

- Swinub, the Pig Pokémon.

The Swinub has an extremely
keen sense of smell,

which it usually
uses to find food.

- Sounds like Swinub like
eating even more than I do.

- Hey!

Quit stealing food
from strangers!

Cut it out right now!

- Swinub!

- That's very rude!

I hope they didn't cause
too much trouble for you.

- I think they're cute!

- Yeah, and we've got
plenty of food.

- These little guys
are hard to control

when they're hungry
and they smell stuff to eat.

Where are your manners
Su, Ine, and Ub?

- Su Ine Ub?

- Yeah those are
the names of the Swinub!

This is Su, that one's Ine,
and this one here's Ub!

Oh, yeah,
and my name's Peggy!

- Hi Peggy.
I'm Misty!

- And my name's Ash.

Do Su, Ine and Ub
belong to you?

- Mm-mm.

They all belong
to my father.

- They all belong
to your father?

- Right!

They all belong to me!

- This is my dad Rory!

- We've been working
in these mountains for a month!

- What kind of work
are you doing, Rory?

- My daddy's a professional
hot spring digger!

- A hot spring digger?

- That sounds cool.

- The big hotel companies
hire me to find the hot springs.

I dig 'em out,
and they build resorts!

- Wow.

- I go all around the world
with Daddy

and Su and Ine and Ub.

- The company that hired me
for this job wants to build

a resort up here.

But first I've got to
find them a hot spring.

- I guess that shouldn't be
too tough for you

with all the experience
you've had.

- Nah, all my experience
hasn't helped us much

for the last few
months I'm afraid.

- We can't seem to find
hot springs anymore.

[together]
Oh!

- Pika.

- Now, don't worry,
little princess.

We'll find ourselves
a hot spring!

- Sure.

- How do you even look for
a spring in the first place?

- With my helpers!

- The Swinubs help?

- They use their noses

to sniff out the hot,
steamy water underground.

[Swinub chattering]

- Look, they smell something.

This could be the spring
we've been looking for!

Go!

- Graveler!

- If there's a spring,
our Graveler'll find it!

- Graveler!

- I see now.

- Graveler does
all the digging!

- I got to sh**t this!

- They got a nice little
excavation operation

goin' there.

- They certainly do!

- Yes!
Yes!

A hot spring!

A hot spring!
Yes!

- Jessie sounds happy.

- I simply adore
hot springs.

In fact, I love hot springs
almost as much as I love money!

- There's nothing more relaxing
than to sit and soak

in a beautiful
bubbling hot spring.

Then I like to switch over
to a sauna room

for even more heavenly heat.

And then it's back
to the hot spring

to sit and soak
the day away.

Hot springs are so delicious
and delectable

and deliriously dreamy.

I can't wait 'til we find one
so I can soak and soak--

- Well if we do find a spring,
maybe all that soakin'

might soften her up a little.

- Keep your comments
to yourself, Meowth!

We're finding
ourselves a hot spring!

From now on
we're going to search

for a hot spring
until we find one!

- Wha?

- But, Jessie, we're here
to take Pokémon, not baths.

- Why is everything
always about Pokémon?

Don't these poor young bones
deserve a little rest

and relaxation for a change?

Let's forget
Pokémon for a while!

Once we find a spring,

we could open
a quaint little inn there.

We can call it
"Jessie's Lodge!"

- Jessie's Lodge?

- All right.

"Jessie and James's Lodge."

- Hey, don't forget me!

- "Jessie and
James and Friend!"

- That has a nice ring to it!

- Now let's pitch in
and help them find a hot spring!

- Help them?

- And every single hot spring
we find belongs to me!

Charge!

- She's really hot for them
hot springs, ain't she?

- It's a good thing we don't
let every silly little thing

make us flip out.

- Wobuffet!

- Ah!

Don't do that!

- Wobuffet!

- Nothing.

Looks like we
were wrong again.

- Guess the Swinub
made a mistake.

- Finding hot springs isn't
easy, even for Swinub.

- They do the best they can,
but they haven't found

any springs in months.

My dad had to give up
on his last two jobs

without finding a thing.

- Hmm.

[Swinub chattering]

- We're starting to run out of
food and other stuff now.

I hope we find
a hot spring pretty soon.

- I hope so too, Peggy.

- [chuckles]

You little rascals.

Don't worry,
we'll find those hot springs.

[chuckles]

- My daddy plays with
the Swinub just as much as I do.

- Now don't those
treats taste yummy?

Here have one, Pikachu!

- Pika!

[Swinub chattering]

- [chuckles]

- There you are!

- Huh?

- We've found you at last!

- Who are you?

- The big boss
at the resort company

heard you haven't had
too much luck finding

a hot spring up here.

- So we came to help you!

- This is wonderful.

Just what we need!

- Well, the sooner
we stop talking,

the sooner we can get to work
digging for those hot springs!

- We're both excellent diggers
although we usually

dig big holes to trap those--

- I'll get my Pokémon team
together,

and we can go to work.

- The two new people should be
a real big help

digging for hot springs.

- Maybe we could
help 'em dig too!

- Great idea!

[Swinub chattering]

- Go!

- Graveler!

[both gasp]

- That sure beats a shovel!

- Yeah, if we had a Graveler,

think how deep we could
dig our traps for those--

- I told you keep your trap
shut about the traps!

[grunting]

[Onix roaring]

[grunting]

- Graveler.
Gravel.

- [sniffing]

[Swinub chattering]

- [sighs]

Looks like this hole's
drier than a Cubone.

- No hot spring.

[Onix roaring]

- Pika.

- Togepi!

- I hate to disappoint you,
Jessie,

but it doesn't look like

there's any
hot springs up here.

- Then we'll go find one
someplace else.

We'll just steal
the Swinub and the Graveler

and make them search and dig
until we hit something.

- Jessie, that Graveler
looks awfully heavy,

and my back's been just--

- You steal the Swinub,
I'll grab the Graveler.

- 'Scuse me!

- Huh?

- My partner and I
may have found a possible

hot springs site.

Could we borrow your Graveler
for a second to do

a little digging for us?

- Oh, sure,
go right ahead.

Graveler, go along
and help our friends, please.

- Graveler!

- Thanks very much.

We'll take good care
of it for you!

[grunts]
Come on!

- Graveler!
- Work with me a little!

[Swinub chattering]

- That's right!

I've got loads of tasty snacks
right inside the bag!

- Gotcha now,
you little gluttons!

- [groans]

- Huh?
Where's the Graveler?

- I left it there.

It was like a ton of bricks.

Let's just swipe
the Swinub and go.

- Hard Hat One to Furball.

Piggy package
ready for pick-up.

- Okay, that's the
secret signal!

Time for me!

- Su, Ine, Ub.
Where'd you all go to?

[gasps]
Oh no!

- Stop it.

Stay inside!

- [gasps]

- Come quick everybody.
Hurry!

all:
Huh?

- Those resort people
just stole our Swinub!

- Who are you two
and what are you doing here?

- [chuckles]
- Try to dig this, daddy-o!

- Prepare for trouble,
'cause we dig Pokémon!

- That's why we're stealing
your three Pig Pokémon!

- 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 blasting off
at the speed of light!

- Surrender now or prepare
to fight fight fight!

- Meowth!
That's right!

[grunting]

- They're getting away!

- After 'em!

all:
[gasps]

all:
[groaning]

- Watch out for that
first step, boys!

- We pretended to be
digging for hot springs,

but we were
really digging traps.

- Off to find
the hot springs!

[laughter]

- We fell for it.

- We're never gonna
catch 'em on foot!

- Huh?

Hey!

- Come on!
We can use those boxes!

- Pika!

all:
[grunting]

- Come on, let's go too!

- Okay!

- The plan's
workin' beautiful, Jess!

- Now we have three
swell little Swinub!

- There they are!

all:
Huh?

[whooshing]

- All right.
Give 'em back!

- Give back those Swinub!

- It's the dope-box derby!

- We've got to get rid
of those twerps!

- Don't you worry,
this'll slip 'em up!

- [gasps]

- Pika!

- They should have the
decency to give up!

- Look, up ahead!

- Huh?

[shrieking]

thud!

[shrieking]

[crashing]

[Meowth gasps]

- I dropped the
Super Slippy Oil!

- What do you have
Super Slippy Oil for?

- For cooking, for cleansing,

and for addin' new luster
to dull furniture.

I buy Slippy Oil
by the gallon!

- I hope you didn't buy it
with our food money.

[Meowth stutters]

[splashes]

[all shouting]

both:
Hooray!

- My Super Slippy Oil
really slipped 'em up!

[laughs]

- [shouting]

[shimmering tones]

- There's Articuno!

- Huh?

[grunts]
- Pika!

- That was a surprise.

[grunting]

- [groaning]

[shimmering tones]

[grunts]

- Huh?

- I just missed
the perfect shot.

- We all saw it.

- It flew right to the top
of that mountain.

[Rory groans]

- We've got to get
Su, Ine and Ub back!

- We will.

- Team Rocket may have
had a head start,

but don't worry.

We'll catch them,
and when we do,

we'll get those Swinub
back for you no matter what!

- Who's that Pokémon?

- It's Farfetch'd.

[Farfetch'd squawks]

- We did it!

We swiped the Swinub!

- Well, now we have to
figure out a way

to get them back
to the Boss, I guess.

- I have a different plan
in mind.

First we'll have the Swinub
find us a hot spring,

and then we can bring them
to the Boss if we want.

Woo-hoo!

All right, Swinub,

time to find Jessie-Wessie
a nice cozy-wozy hot spring.

- These hot springs are
gonna get us into hot water.

- Oh, yeah.

[Swinub chattering]

- Swinub!
- Swinub!

- Look, the Swinub have
found something already.

Let's start digging!

[shovels chomping]

- Them Swinub got it easy;
all they gotta do is sniff.

- I really wish Jessie'd
brought that guy's

Graveler along with us.

- Graveler?

- She tried, but it was
too heavy for her.

- Quit yapping
and keep digging!

both:
All right.

both:
Oh!

- Did you hit a hot spring?

- Well, it does feel
like liquid down there.

[gushing]

[roaring]

- Ah, I knew we'd find one!

- It's a big
beautiful hot spring!

[giggles]

- I guess you and me
is just as good

at findin' hot springs
as them Swinub is!

- I don't know Meowth,
this seems awfully polluted

for a hot spring.

Hmm, just as I thought.

This is oil.

- Just our luck!

- I should've known better
than to get my heart set

on having what I want.

- This proves how
unfair life can be.

- I can't sit and soak in
a pool of dirty, greasy oil.

- Yeah, instead of havin'
a nice spring,

we're stuck
with an oil well.

Stuck.

both:
With an oil well?

- Guys, we're rich.
We're finally rich!

- We're not just rich,
we're filthy rich!

- Filthy rich!

Filthy rich!
Filthy rich!

- Now we can afford to buy
everything we ever wanted!

- I can spend
the rest of my life

in hot springs now that
we've discovered oil!

[squeals and giggles]

- Jess.
- Huh?

- I don't think we actually
discovered any oil.

- Huh?
- Whaddya mean?

- I just checked.

We only punched a hole
in an oil company's pipeline.

- But that means...

- The oil don't technically
belong to us?

- No, and once they
find what we've done,

we'll probably
do some jail time.

both:
Some jail time?

[shouting]

- Let's get out of here!

- [hoots]

- My poor Swinub.

- Don't worry, Rory.
We'll find 'em.

- Hey, here's Noctowl.

Maybe it has some information.

- [hooting]

- Noctowl, did you
see Team Rocket?

- [hooting]

- They went that way.
Come on!

- We could've been rich.

- Yeah, but at least
we got ourselves some Pokémon

for the Boss.

- I knew we'd
find you losers!

all:
[gasps]

- Look.
It's Team Twerp!

- You better give Rory's
Swinub back to him right now!

- We're keeping them, kid.

And as soon as they
find us a hot spring,

we're giving them
to our Boss as a present!

- Ah!
Please, no.

- You just made
a big mistake Jessie.

I choose you, Totodile!

- Totodile!

- I choose Poliwhirl!

- Come on out, Graveler.
We need you too!

- Poliwhirl!

- Graveler!

- Go, Arbok!

- Get in there, Victreebel!

Ah!

Get in there!
Not my hair!

- Arbok, use your
Head Butt Attack!

- Use your
Scratch Attack, Totodile!

[roaring]

- Graveler.
Tackle Attack!

- Graveler!

[thudding]
- Arbok!

- Victreebel, use your
Razor Leaf Attack!

- [shrieking]

- Quick,
use Defense Curl!

- Graveler!

- Poliwhirl, use
your Double Slap!

- Poli, Poli, Poli, Poli, Poli.
- [screeching]

- Now's our chance!
Grab the Swinub, Graveler!

- Graveler!

[Swinub chattering]

- Get lost, rocky!

- Quick.
Tackle Attack!

[Meowth groaning]

[Swinub chattering happily]

- This battle's just beginning!

I choose Weezing!

- Weezing!

- [roars]
- [screeches]

- Weezing!

- We're using our whole line up
for this battle, twerp.

- Wobuffet!

- Oh, I forgot about you.

- Fine.
Then we'll all battle!

[Swinub whining]

- Something's wrong
with the Swinub!

[Swinubs' pitch rising]

- I've never heard
them this way!

- They sure don't
sound too happy!

- Nice shot.

[shutter clicks]

- I understand what's happening!

Listen!

The Swinub are
very angry with you!

all:
Swinub!

- They're the ones
you tried to steal,

so they wanna pay you back!

And so do I!

All right, guys,
let's go get 'em!

all:
Swinub!

- Go Su!

- Arbok, use your
Wrap Attack!

[Arbok roars]
[Swinub shrieks]

- Stay strong, Su!

- Ine, use your
Take Down Attack!

- Swinub!

- Arbok try a Fang Attack!

[Arbok roars]
- Dodge it!

both:
Swinub!

- Now Ub, Tackle Attack it!

- Swine!

- Quick Wobbuffet,
Counter!

- Wobuffet!

[Swinub gasps]

- Wow what a battle.

These shots are gonna be great!

Huh?

- Get a shot of this,
or something more like this!

How 'bout a profile?

Humph.

These kids today
don't know about talent!

Things have certainly
changed a lot

from when I first started
my modeling career.

- Jessie, when were
you ever a model?

- Here's the ad campaign
that featured me

that ran in all
the fashion magazines!

- But where are you?

[beeping]
- I'm right there!

[Victreebel gasps]

together:
We're still battling!

- Weezing,
use Smoke Screen!

- Weezing!

[Swinub coughing]

- Poliwhirl,
blow the Smoke Screen away

with your Bubble!

- Poliwhirl!

[rapid zapping]

- All together now
use your Powder Snow!

[Swinub chattering]

[Pokémon groaning]

- Oh, no.
They're frozen solid!

- Team up for one
big Tackle Attack!

- Arbok!

- Are you ready, Misty?

- Ready!

both:
Double Water g*n!

[roaring]

[shrieking]

all:
At least you could've

made it hot water!

- Wobba!

ding!

- Thanks to you guys, we got
all our Swinub back safe.

- Well, your Swinub are
a lot tougher than I expected!

- Maybe they can't find
hot springs like they used to,

but they sure
put up a great battle!

[Swinub chattering]

- Huh?

[Swinub sniffing]

all:
Swinub!

- It seems like
they smell something!

[Swinub chattering]

- I wonder if they've
sniffed out a hot spring!

Graveler, start diggin'!

- Graveler!

Gravel, Gravel, Gravel!

- I hope Graveler
finds something down there.

- Maybe their losing streak's
over!

- Do you think
it's a hot spring?

- We'll see.

- Pika.

[Swinub shrieking]
- Graveler!

[rumbling]

[whooshing]

- They did it.

Ah.

Ha Ha!

They did it!

Thanks to the Swinub,
we're back, baby!

[Swinub chattering]

[Rory chuckles]

- Isn't it great, guys,

the Swinub finally
sniffed out a hot spring.

- I bet battling
got them all warmed up,

and that made 'em stronger.

It must have gotten
their noses warmed up too!

- Su, Ine, Ub,
you were great!

- Swinub.

- It's at moments like this

that I'm glad
I always carry a camera!

together:
Swinub!

- Thanks, guys!

Good-bye!

- Best of luck
on your journey!

Bye-bye.

- Take care of yourselves
and the Swinub!

- See ya!

- Pika!

- I know saw Articuno
flying towards that mountain.

Now nothing's gonna stop me
from getting its picture.

- C'mon guys,
let's go find it.

- Yeah!

narrator: Will our heroes
come face to face

with the legendary Articuno?

Find out next time!

- Let's do it.
