04x35 - The Wayward Wobbuffet

[bunniefuu]

male narrator: Today we join
Ash and his friends

as they continue their journey
to their next destination:

Olivine City.

They don't know it yet,

but a trio of troublemakers
familiar to all of us

is lying in wait.

- Here they come.

It's time to take our places
and start the show.

- Is everything ready,
Meowth?

- I just double-checked
the PokéPod,

and it's workin' perfect!

- Well, Professor,
it seems fine.

Do you think
we've finally fixed it?

- I just don't know.

- If only we could test it.

- Is there something
we could help you with?

- Hmm?

Well, my associate and I
have just created a new device

that we think will revolutionize
Pokémon training.

- That thing looks interesting.

- Oh, I'm so glad
you think so, young man.

We call it the PokéPod!

It's a Pokémon
transport device

made of a super-tough plastic

that's harder than diamonds.

It's absolutely indestructible.

- We overheard you say
you fixed it.

Was it broken?

- Are you gonna test it out?

- Pika?

- Of course
we're going to test it!

Here, we'll take
your cute little Pikachu

and put it inside

to make sure our PokéPod
works properly.

[laughs]

- The mechanism
is working perfectly.

The PokéPod is locked,

and now it's impossible to open
without the key.

- Pika-pi!

- I'm glad we could help.

Now please let Pikachu
out of there.

We got to go.

- Unfortunately for you,
we can't do that

because there's only one key
for that lock.

- Even more unfortunately,

we don't happen to be the ones
who have the key.

- And we got another little
surprise for you!

[together]
Ta-da!

- It's us, Team Rocket!

all: We know that!

- And we've got you, Pikachu!

We've got Weezing too.

A SmokeScreen, please!

- Weezing!

[all coughing]

[laughter]

- Come on!

- Hurry!

- Hey, come back here!

- Drop that Pikachu!

- Here!
- Wobbu!

- You won't get away with this!

- Give me back Pikachu!

- How can I give you
what I don't have?

Hoo-ah!

- Huh?

- Pikachu disappeared!

- This isn't funny.

What'd you do with Pikachu?

- I can't remember.

- Well, we've got to be
going now!

- Good luck finding
your Pikachu, kid,

'cause you're gonna need it!

- Wobbuffet!

[Team Rocket yelps]

- Togi?

- Pika-pi!

- Isn't Wobbuffet
supposed to be hiding?

- I get it.

You handed Pikachu off
to Wobbuffet!

[grunts]

- Wobbuffet make a run
for it!

- Wobb!

Buffet-wobb!

[splashing]

- Huh?
- Ah?

- Wobbu!

[loud splash]

- That's rather unfortunate,
isn't it?

[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

- Johto

- Born to be a champion

Born to be a winner

Born to be the very best

- Pokémon
- Johto

- Born to be a winner

Pokémon

- Wobbuffet!

- [grunting]

The lock won't even budge!

All right!
Give me the key!

- We don't have it.
- What?

- I'm afraid we gave
the only key to Wobbuffet.

- The one that just
went over the falls?

- I can't bear to think
what fate

may have befallen
that wobbly blue blob!

- Yes,
and it's all our fault!

- We may never see
poor ol' Wobbuffet

ever, ever again!

We're grief-struck,

so give us that Pikachu or else,
you little twerp!

- Not on your life!

- It may be Pikachu's
only hope!

- Huh?

- That cage won't open
without the key.

Pikachu can't get out,

and no food, air, or water
can get in,

so your friend won't last
very long,

but let's say we find Wobbuffet
and get that key back.

We'll give you the key.

You can open the pod
and save your precious Pikachu,

which you then immediately
hand over to us.

- Jessie...
- So do we have a deal?

- Huh?

[gasping]

Why didn't anybody tell me
they were gone?

We've got to find Wobbuffet

and that key
before the twerps do.

Now let's move out!

[together]
Aye-aye!

- Wobbuffet went right over
this waterfall.

- Right!

- I guess we'll have to follow
the river downstream.

- How are we gonna get
down there?

- Pi!

- Remember our deal, children!

[together]
Huh?

- You get the key,
and we get the Pikachu!

- There's no deal!

Just bring us that key!

- You'll change your tune
when we find the key!

[laughter]

- Come on.

We got to get to Wobbuffet
before they do!

- Nothin' yet.

- I wonder if Wobbuffet
is okay.

- Don't worry, James.

I bet the little blob
is bobbing along

down there somewhere.

- Wobbuffet!

Wobb...

Wobbuffet!

Uh?

- Quag!

- Wobb!

- Quagsire!

- Wobbuffet!
Wobbuffet!

- Quagsire!

- Wobbuffet!

- Quag!

- Wobbu...

[all gasp]

[together]
There it is!

all: Wobbuffet!
Wobbuffet!

- Huh?
- Where'd Wobbuffet go now?

- There it is! Up there!

- Wobb!

- I never knew Wobbuffet
was such as swinger.

- It can swing all it wants,
but it won't get away.

- Pikachu!

- Agh!
Hey, be careful, guys.

I almost went over the edge.

- The what?

Wah!

- Pi!

Pika!

Pika...

- Ash!
- Are you okay?

- [grunts]

[Team Rocket yelling]

- Ow, ow, ow.
- Maybe it ran into the woods.

- Oh!
- Huh?

I see you little twerps
haven't found our Wobbuffet yet!

- Yeah, well, it looks like

you haven't found it yet
either!

- But it must be around here
somewhere!

- Pikachu!
Pika!

[together]
Huh?

- Wobb!

- Ahh, there you are!

- Wobbuffet!

- Hang on, Wobbuffet!

Don't let go!

- Wobb!

[shrieking]
Wobb!

[all shouting]

- Where do you think
you're going, you hijacker?

Come back here
with my Wobbuffet!

[police sirens wailing]

- [whimpers]

- Look, it's the police!

- Let's cheese it!

- Step aside!

We have to catch that truck!

- So do we, Officer Jenny.

Please, let us come with you!

- [gasps]

- Wobbu!

- I see.
So you need that key.

- Right.

- Why are you trying
to catch up

with that truck,
Officer Jenny?

- The man driving that truck
is the Master Thief Goneff!

- Master Thief Goneff?

- He's that Golem Trainer
who sneaks into bank vaults

and jewelry stores and steals
everything in sight, right?

- Right, he's slipped away
from me before,

but this time,
I'm gonna get him!

- Well, if he slips away
from you again,

Officer Jenny,
you can always have me!

- Huh?

- Brock, she already has
enough problems.

- Togi!
Togepi!

- This is Officer Jenny.

He's almost there.

Is everything ready?

- We've sealed off
the bridge.

Don't worry.
We'll get him.

- You're gonna stop him
with a roadblock, huh?

- Yes,
he's headed straight for it,

and there's no other route
he can take.

- Wobb-ub!
Wobb-wobb!

[wailing]

Wobbuffet!

- Those copsters are thinking
they catch me so easily,

but I am leading them on
wild goat chase!

- Wobbu! Wobbu!

- Wah!
A blubushka!

- Wobbuffet!

- Get out of windshield!

- Wobbu! Wobbu!
Agh!

- Get ready.

He's just a few seconds away!

- I will grab you
with my own hands!

Agh!

Get out of way!

[all shouting]

[tires screeching]

- Wobb!

[tires squeal]

- I saw what happened.

Is everybody okay?

- All officers
present and accounted for.

- Attention all units!

The suspect is within
the city limits.

Lock down the area
and block all escape routes.

[clanking]

- Wobb!

[tires squealing]

- [groans]

[tires screech]

- Wobbuffet!

- Wobbu! Wobb!

- You can't get away
this time.

Now come out of that truck
with your hands up!

- If you are thinking
you catch Goneff so easy,

police lady, think again!

Ha!

beep!

- Wobbuffet!

[all gasping]

[air hissing]

- [laughing]

The great Goneff
bid you bye-bye!

- Wobbuffet!

- Huh?
What you are doing up here?

- Wobbuffet!

- [yelling]

- Wobb!
Wobbuffet! Wobb!

- Okay, out you are going!

[grunts]

- Wobbuffet!

- [yelling]

- Get him!

[all grunting]

- Hurray!

Wobbuffet
must have used Counter!

- Wobbuffet!

[together]
Huh?

- Wobbu!
Wobbuffet!

- Oh.
There goes that key.

- Pika!

- Wobbuffet!
- Wobb?

- Are you okay?

- Wobbu!
Wobbuffet!

- I know
how to get Wobbuffet back.

Return!

[zapping]

Huh?

James, bring the balloon
a little closer.

- You got it, Jess.

- Steady.
Wobbuffet, return!

Is that what you call
steady?

- We didn't move!
Wobbuffet did!

- All right.

Get as close as you can,
and I'll try it again.

- Wobbuffet!
Wobb!

- Hold still, you blob.

Now return to your Pokéball.

[zapping]

[all wailing]

pop!

[air hissing]

- Meowth, crawl up there
and do something!

- Wobb!
Wobb!

- That could have been
a real disaster.

- Wobbu!
Wobb!

[together]
We're blasting off again!

- Wobbuffet!

ding!

- Pika...

- Okay, Pikachu.

Ready, set...

clang!

- They were right.
It's indestructible.

- Looks like the only way

we can get Pikachu out of there
is with that key.

- Wobbuffet!
- Huh?

- Hey, that's Wobbuffet!

- Wobb!

- It's headed for the river!

- Chikorita, go!

- Chiko!

- Chikorita,
wrap your Vine Whip

around Wobbuffet
and bring it back here!

- Chiko!

- Wobb!

Wobbu!

- Whoa!

Hey, come back here, you!

- Oh!

- Come on, guys!
Follow that Wobbuffet!

- Who's that Pokémon?

- It's Teddiursa.

- Teddiursa!

- To get Pikachu,
we need that key.

The key's with Wobbuffet,
and Wobbuffet's gone.

- All of a sudden, Wobbuffet's
our key player.

- Wobbuffet!

- I never thought
I'd be saying this,

but I kind of miss
the little blob.

- Wobbuffet added
that certain nothing.

- Wobbuffet!

- Jessie?

- What is it now, James?

- Look!
Wobbuffet!

- Hmm?

- Wobbuffet, wait!

- Look, the twerps are here!

- Wobbuffet!

[together]
Huh?

- Listen to me, Wobbuffet.

Hit the brakes!
Just hit the brakes!

- It's no use.

Wobbuffet's out like a light!

- I'm gonna have to get
into that boat.

- Not before I do!

- Whoa!

- Wobbu!

Wobbuffet!

- Wobbuffet's awake again!

- Yes, but shouldn't that
steering wheel be steering?

- Wobbuffet!

- Wobbuffet,
pull the throttle back,

and we'll stop!

- Wobbu!

[motor revving]

[tires screech]

- Next time, don't leave
motorcycle running, flatfeets!

[Ash and Jessie screaming]

- Get out of the way!

- We're gonna crash into it!

Wah!
- Agh!

- Wobb!

Wobb-obb!

- Oh, it's you,
you double crisscrosser!

- Wobbuffet!

- Wah!

- Wobbuffet's gone.
Where did it go?

- Never mind that!
Look!

I choose you, Totodile!

- Totodile!

- Hurry, Totodile!

sh**t your Water g*n
against that bridge!

- Totodile!

- You were great, Totodile.

- [babbling]

- So where did Wobbuffet go?

- You guys must have seen it.

- We saw it, all right.

- We know exactly where it is.

- What?
Well, come on, then!

Let's go there!

- The thief's in that building,

and he's holding Wobbuffet
as his hostage?

- That's right.

He's demanding
we give him a helicopter

so he can escape,
and in exchange,

he'll let the Wobbuffet
go free.

- Great...

Now how are we going
to get Wobbuffet back?

Hey, I've just thought
of a brilliant scheme.

- Let's hear it.

- [whispering]

[together]
Ah!

- That's a great idea, Jessie.

Let's get to work!

- Those polices
is taking a long time

getting our helicopter.

- Wobbuffet!

- It is too quiet out there.

I'm not liking
the sound of this!

- Wobbu...

- Shut up your mouth!

I do talking here!

- Wobbu...

[indistinct murmuring]

- I can't see anything
from here.

Can you?

- Let's check out the other side
of the building, guys.

- Hey, look at that.

- Pika?

- I don't like what I see.

- Wobb?

- What?
What is going down up here?

- Prepare for trouble
and bitter regret...

- If you don't give us back
Wobbuffet!

- 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!

- We're Team Rocket,

blasting off
at the speed of light!

- Surrender now or prepare
to fight, fight, fight!

- Meowth!
That's--

- Wobbuffet!

- Golem!

[all yelp]

- Team Rocket, huh?

Well, climb back in your capsule
and take off!

- We're staying right here.

That Wobbuffet belongs to me,

and we're not leaving
until I get it back!

- I am not giving to anybody

back this Wobblediguck,
lady.

- Don't be so hasty, Goneff.

- We're here to make a deal
with you.

- What kind of deal,
little big mouth?

- We've just dug
this new tunnel

that's simply perfect
for secret escapes.

- You and the Golem
can sneak out of here,

and you'll both be miles away

before the cops know
you're gone.

- We'll allow you
to use our tunnel

if you give us back Wobbuffet

and all the other loot
you must have stashed away.

- You must be outside
your mind!

- You're the one
who's out of his mind

if you don't do it, mister!

- Okeydokey, then.

Let's give it to them
but good, Golem!

- Golem!

[together]
Huh?

- Go! Lem!

[all shriek]

- Why are you attacking us?

- That ain't part of the deal!

- What do you think
you're doing?

- [laughs]

I know what I'm doing.

I'm using that tunnel escape.

- Oh, no, you won't!

- Huh?

- Totodile!

- All right, Goneff!

You let that Wobbuffet
go free!

- Totodile!

- You are the one who's going!

Golem, Tackle attack!

- Golem!

- Totodile, hit Golem
with your Water g*n!

- Totodile!

- [groans]

Golem!

- Golem, use Double Team!

- Golem!

- Uh--what?
- Totodile!

- Now knock them out
with your DynamicPunch!

- Golem!

- Now!

- [squawks]

- Oh!
Totodile, no!

- [squawks]
- Wobb!

- Your little Totodiddle

does not have a chance
against Golem.

- Toto...

- Golem, go.

Finish it with a Tackle!

- Lem!

- Totodile,
get out of the way!

- Totodile!
- Wobbu!

- Golem!

- Wobb!

- Lem!

[Wobbuffet yelling]

- Agh!

- It's Goneff!
Quick!

Don't let him get away
this time!

[all grunting]

- I surrender!

- That was awesome,
Totodile!

- Totodile!

- Come on, Wobbuffet.

We have to get out
of this place!

- Wobbu!

- Oh!

Come on!

Hey, what's that thing?

[together]
Huh?

[laughter]

- Why use a dirty tunnel

when we can escape in style
in our brand-new Wobb-balloon?

- Give us back that key,
Jessie!

- Sorry, twerp.

Wobbuffet's resting comfortably
in its Pokéball,

and I don't see any good reason
to disturb it.

- We're tired of chasing you.

If you want the key,

why don't you chase us
for a change!

- Wobbuffet!

- Noctowl, I choose you!

- [trills]

- Noctowl, fly up there

and peck a hole
in that balloon!

- [trilling]

[air hissing]

[all yelping]

- [in slo-mo]
Wobbuffet!

- I'll take that key!

- No!
[whimpers]

- Wobb!

- Well, I finally got
what we came for.

[all gasp]

- Oh, no!

- Wobbuffet!

[lock clicking]

- Pika-pi!

- How you doing, Pikachu?

Are you okay?

- Pika!

- Oh!
They've got the key!

- They got Pikachu too!

- And we got nothing,
like usual!

- Well, we can fix that.

Give 'em a Thunderbolt!

- Pi!

Pikachu!

[all wailing]

[together]
Team Rocket's

blasting off again!

- Wobb!

- Nice work, Pikachu!

- Pika!

- Ash!

I'm very glad to see
your Pikachu is safe and sound.

- Yeah, thanks a lot,
Officer Jenny.

- Oh, no.
I should be thanking you, Ash.

It's because of you
that we were finally able

to capture Goneff,

so on behalf of the department,
I salute you!

- Aww.
Don't mention it.

- Pika-pika!

Pikachu back safely

and aiding in the capture
of a dangerous criminal,

our heroes now continue
on their way to Olivine City.

- We saved you.
Now save us.

- Wobbuffet!

- You owe us.

You're the one
who messed things up!

- Wobbuffet!

- This is your last chance,
blobbo!

- Wobbu...

[all groaning]

- Wobbuffet!

- Let's do it.
