05x27 - Rage of Innocence

[bunniefuu]

male narrator: The tranquility
of Lake Rage was shattered

as our heroes spied
a mysterious red Gyarados.

This Pokémon was forced
to evolve from a Magikarp

by Team Rocket's
Professor Sebastian

using his Evolution
Inducement Wave.

Acting alone,
Lance of the Elite Four

and now a member
of the Pokémon G-Men

managed to infiltrate
Team Rocket's base in disguise.

Although Ash and friends
battled valiantly

against Team Rocket,

they were captured and jailed
by Tyson, the Squadron Leader,

and are now being held c*ptive
at their base.

[singing]
- Pokémon

- No time to question my moves

I stick to the path
that I choose

Me and my friends
are gonna do it right

You'll never see us
run away from a fight

To be a Master is my dream

All I've got to do is believe

And I believe

I've got a chance to win

I'm on my way to victory

- Pokémon

- I can be a Champion

If I just believe

I'm on a Master Quest

Master Quest

I want the whole world to see

And I believe

I'm gonna be the very best

'Cause all I've got to do

Is believe in me

- Pokémon

- Mahogany Town Response Team,
this is Tyson.

The capture of Gyarados
is complete.

We are now en route.

- Roger. Preparing transport
chopper for departure.

- I suggest we begin
our inspection upon arrival.

- Yes, sir.

- Our red Gyarados
should provide us

with everything we need

to complete the Evolution
Inducement Wave.

[tires screech]

- What?
A Team Rocket hideout?

Here in Mahogany Town?

- Yeah, and their plan
is to fly the red Gyarados

to their headquarters
using a couple of helicopters.

- Understood.

I'll prepare to deal with them
immediately.

- Thank you.

And good luck.

- Can anybody hear me?

Hello? Let us out of here.
Let us out!

- Oh, save it.

Your incessant squawking has
given me a full-size headache.

- Besides, we momentous figures
in Team Rocket history

are the ones who are guarding
your exit.

- Pika.

- Togi.

- Pikachu.

- Togepi, you're awake.

- Do you think you could
break down the door

with a ThunderShock?

- [whimpers]

[growls]

Pika.

[both gasp]
- What's wrong?

- Pikachu must still
feel the damage

from that Inducement machine.

- I guess so.

[both laugh]

- But in other words...

- We're here to take Pikachu.

- And once the boss
hears of this heroic heist,

he'll gladly hoist us back up
to the top of the heap.

- And then finish it off with
a tidy tip for our troubles.

- Wobbuffet.

- Arbok.
Poison Sting now.

- That's right.

This will go much smoother
if you stand still.

- Just relax.
I only need a second.

One little click.

- Pika?

- Huh?
- What?

- Togi?

- This is an equal opportunity
opener?

This is all your fault

for not warning me
this would happen.

- I didn't read the manual.

- Go, Cyndaquil.

- Cyndaquil.

- Cyndaquil,
SmokeScreen attack.

- Quil!

- [coughs]

I can't see.

- I'll find our way
out of here.

- Get off my foot!

- Wobb...

- What?

Don't tell me
we're twerpless.

How did this happen, anyway?

- A gadget malfunction.

- Come back here!
- Come back here!

- Wobbuffet.

- Sss-Arbok!

- Hey, wait for me!
Jessie!

- [panting]

- Slow down.

- Arbok, Poison Sting.

Now let's tie them up
into a neat package

with a Wrap attack.

- Pika!

- [squawks]

- Arbok!

[tires screech]

Who are you?

- You've got some nerve
crashing our capture.

- The name's...

Lance of the Pokémon G-Men.

[together]
Pokémon G-what?

- G-Men.
- Oh, Meowth.

I thought you were
still asleep.

- Thanks for your concern!

[together]
Hey, Lance.

- Hmm.

- I don't care
if you're a G-Man,

a tree man, or a He-Man.

You're soon to be an ex-man!

Arbok, use Acid attack.
Let's go.

- Dragonite, Twister.

- [barks]

[all shrieking]

[together] Team Rocket's
blasting off again!

- Wobbuffet!

- I warned you
about going back.

- Sorry, Lance.

We didn't mean
to cause you trouble.

[together]
We're sorry.

- Pika-Pikachu.

- Yeah, I can understand.

I know that you're just
as worried about the Pokémon

as I am.

We have to find some way
of destroying this machine.

Dragonite, give it
a Hyper Beam.

- [growls]

- Those crooks are on their way
to Mahogany Town.

We've got to get there fast.

[together]
Right.

- As soon as we load up
the Gyarados,

we'll be right behind you.

- Make it quick,
all right?

We must begin analysis
immediately.

- Right.

[phone beeps]

Tyson here.

What?
The laboratory?

- Well, you see, sir,

we did everything
humanly possible.

- We're terribly sorry,

but they somehow managed
to escape.

- Yeah, then this
Goody Two-shoes named Lance

came roaring in with his
Dragonite a-blazing--

- You mean Lance the G-Man?
That one?

- Right.
That's the one.

So in order for us
to continue on,

we're requesting backup.

- Uh, Tyson? Could you see to it
that we get five more men?

- Five measly men is but
a drop in the battling bucket.

- Yeah, James,
what are you thinking?

This could determine the fate
of Team Rocket.

- Well, when you put it
that way...

Tyson, me again.

We'll take men, please.

- That's not enough.

- Ha. All right.
!

- Higher, higher.

- All righty, then!
My final offer!

An even hundred
of your best men!

Huh? I think he may have
hung up on me.

- I'll bet you he's probably
calling headquarters now

with your request.

- Do you really think so?

- We might have made
that one tiny goof,

but now we're gonna get
a write-up

in the Team Rocket history books
for sure.

all: Oh, goody.

- How could I have been
so stupid?

- Sir.

Preparations complete
for Gyarados' transport.

- All right. Let's go.

- [snarls and roars]

- It's waking up.

We're losing control.

- The Evolution Inducement Wave
must be wearing off.

- Pika?
- What's wrong?

- What is it, Togepi?

- They must be sensing
something.

- I wonder if it's
the red Gyarados.

- We really got to hurry,
Lance.

- It's time to put the pedal
to the metal.

- [roars]

- It's no good, boss.
I can't hold it any longer.

- Hey, listen to me!

You will maintain control
of this chopper!

[screams]

- [roars]

- Gyarados mustn't escape.
Let's go.

[together]
Right.

- [gasps]
- Pika!

- Gyarados.

- [roars]

- Wait!
- Ash, no!

- I'm really glad you got away
from them, Gyarados.

That's great.

- [snarls]

- Huh?

Ah!

- Ash!
- Pika-pi!

- Are you hurt, Ash?

- I'm okay.

- [roaring]

- No!
Stop, Gyarados!

Calm down!

- It's gone out of control
with anger.

There's nothing we can do.

- But, Lance, we've got to do
something to stop Gyarados.

- If we don't, there'll be more
and more destruction.

- Gotta think of how to stop
something that big.

- I know.
- Huh?

- Go, Dragonite.

Now, stop that Gyarados.

- Hold it!

[tires screech]

Well, well.

So you're the famous Lance
I've heard so much about.

- Hmm.

- You guys follow
that Gyarados.

- Yes, sir.

- Don't worry about Gyarados.

We'll make sure nothing bad
happens to it.

- Pika.
- Let's get going.

- Okay.
- No, Ash. Hold on.

- You!

You destroyed
our laboratory,

and now it's time
for you to pay.

- Anyone who would force
a Pokémon to evolve

must be stopped.

Now, let's see
what you've got.

- Who's that Pokémon?

It's Dunsparce.

- How dare you interfere
with Team Rocket?

Now prepare for your
punishment.

- If you mean you'll defeat me,
that's highly unlikely.

- Go, Fearow.

- [squawks]

- Fury Attack now!

- Let's go, Dragonite.

Dragonite, now use
Wing Attack.

- [roars]

- Fearow, Agility attack now!

- Dragonite, Thunder Wave.
Go.

- [roars]

- Fearow, use Hyper Beam.

- Now.
You too, Dragonite.

- [squawks]

- [roars]

- There's our target.
Launch capture net now.

- [growls]

- Now use an electric shock.

- [shrieks]

- Good, now pull Gyarados
out of the river.

[electricity crackles]

- [snarls]

- Gyarados!
- Oh, no!

- Bayleef, I choose you.

- Bay!

- Use Razor Leaf
to cut that net.

- You're gonna be okay,
Gyarados.

- You got to hold on.

- I'm going to get
those little punks.

- Pika?

- Hey, stop it.

- [snarls]
- Ah!

[all scream]

- Awesome.
Way to go, Gyarados.

- Pika?
- Gyarados!

- This Gyarados
is really weakened.

- With all those
electric shocks

and being dragged out
of the river, who wouldn't be?

- You got to go back
into the river, Gyarados.

- [roars]

- Where'd that net come from?

- Prepare for trouble
or you shall be caught.

- And make it double
with the net we've brought.

- 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 blasts off
at the speed of light.

- Surrender now
or prepare to fight.

- Meowth!
That's right!

[together]
Team Rocket!

- Pikachu!

- What are you gonna do
with that Gyarados?

- Pika, Pika!

- You silly twerp.

We're gonna steal it,
of course.

- Seeing as our reinforcements
are running late,

we're obligated to take matters
into our own hands.

- Gentlemen,
start your engines.

[together]
Ta-ta.

- Oh, no, you don't.

- Ash, no.
- Be careful.

- I'll save you, Gyarados.

- What goes up...

- Must come down like this.

And that and this
and that and this.

- [screams]

- Hold on!
- Pika-pi!

- Bay!

- A stubborn one, huh?

How about a little dip?

- He's ruining
our Gyarados-napping.

- [roars]

- Our Gyarados...

- Isn't napping.

- Pika-pi!
- Bay!

- Hey, Ash.
- Are you all right?

- I think so.

Gyarados!

- [roars]

- Hold on, Gyarados.

- You'd better hold on,
twerp.

- At least we'll catch Pikachu
for a consolation prize.

- Go, Arbok.

- Sss-Arbok!

- Pika-pi?

- You feeling okay
to battle?

- Pikachu.

- Arbok, Poison Sting.

- Pikachu, Agility.

Now, Thunderbolt.

- Pika!

Pika...chu!

- Will we still go down
in history?

- We're going up
in this story.

- And then we're going down.

[together] Ah!
We're blasting off again!

- [yelps]

- Dragonite.

- Good work.

Now stop him
with Drill Peck.

- [squawks]

- Wake up, Dragonite.
Twister.

- [screams]

- Oh, no!
Fearow!

[sirens wailing]

Hmm?

- Team Rocket,

you've violated
your last conservation law.

- Good.

Book him, Officer Jenny.

- [growls]

[Gyarados roaring]

- No, Gyarados!
Stop!

- It's headed straight
for the center of town.

- You don't want to hurt
anybody.

- Pika, Pika!

- Listen to me, Gyarados.

I promise you, we don't want
to battle or hurt you.

We just want to help you out
and be your friends.

- [growls]

- I know we can help you,
Gyarados.

I--I know we can.

But--but please
don't hurt anybody.

- [roars]

[all scream]

- Dewgong, Ice Beam.

- Dewgong!

- That Dewgong was able to stop
Gyarados' Hyper Beam.

- Yeah, and froze up the river
at the same time.

- Awesome.

- Pika.

- Hmm?

- Being friends
with Pokémon?

How naive.
- Huh?

- Humans and Pokémon are not
meant to become friends.

- What?
That's not true.

- Listen to me.

Your foolish notion
is putting you, your friends,

and the whole countryside
in danger.

- But Gyarados needs a friend.

[Gyarados roars]

What's that?

- Gyarados is turning around.

- Ash, we've got to help.

- Okay.

- [roaring]

- Hey, look.
It's Lance.

- Let's go, Dragonite.

- [barks]

- Dragonite, Thunder Wave now.

- Lance, please have Dragonite
stop its attacks.

- Yes, please, Lance.
- That Gyarados is in bad shape.

- I just can't do that.

- But why can't you?

- Battling is the only way
we can save Gyarados.

- Huh?

- Gyarados.

- All right.
Twister, Dragonite.

- All that anger
isn't Gyarados' fault at all.

- Yeah. Put the blame
on Team Rocket

and that machine
that forced it to evolve.

- [thinking]
Soon, my friend.

Soon.

I'll help to rid you
of all your pain, your sorrow,

your anger, your fear.

Dragonite, use Hyper Beam.

- [roars]

- Is it okay?

- Gyarados is going
to be all right.

My work here is through.

- Please take care of it.

- Pika.

[singing]
- I'm on a Master Quest

- Pokémon

- I'm on a Master Quest

- Pokémon

- Thanks to you, we were able
to capture those th*gs

with a minimal amount
of damage.

I'm most grateful.

- And thanks to you
for all your help.

- If you'll excuse me, I must
continue my investigation.

Take care now.

- I guess this is good-bye, Ash.
- Yeah.

- Please don't worry.

I'll take good care of Gyarados,
just as you would.

And just like Dragonite,
Gyarados will be my friend.

- [laughs]

That's great, Lance.
Thank you.

- Pikachu.

- Now take care,
everybody.

[Dragonite howls]

- Bye, Lance.
See you soon.

- Good luck with your new
Gyarados.

- Thanks for all your help.

- Pika, Pika!
- Togepi.

narrator: With a little help
from our heroes,

Lance was able to stop
Team Rocket

and save Mahogany Town.

Now Ash is ready to head
to the Mahogany Gym

and challenge its leader
for a new badge.

- There's no time

To question my moves

I stick to the path

I'm on a Master Quest
