05x39 - One Trick Phony!

[bunniefuu]

male narrator:
As our heroes make their way

toward Blackthorn City,

they continue to come up
against challenging battles

that test their skills.

And today is no exception.

- Great.

Since Blackthorn is so close,

I'll use this battle
as a warm-up.

- Pika.

- Ash is psyched up.

- When it comes to meeting that
trainer, I'm psyched-up too.

- Nothing makes my day
like a brand-new chance

to beat another opponent.

Now, let's battle.

[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

- Josephine,
use Sweet Kiss.

- Smooch. Smooch. Smooch.

- Dodge it, Pikachu.

- Pika!

- Josephine, use Sweet Kiss
once more.

- Smooch, Smooch, Smooch,
Smoochum.

- Stay put and make it
come in close to you.

- Pika?
- Smooch, Smooch, Smooch.

Smooch!

- Agility, now!

- Smoochum.
- Pika.

- Now, Pikachu.
Quick Attack. Go.

- Pikachu.

- Smoochum!

- Josephine!

- Okay, Pikachu.
Thunderbolt now.

- Pika...

- Stop it!
- Huh?

- That was really
a beautiful battle,

but I think
we've had enough.

- Talk about beautiful.

- Well, that was
short and sweet.

- Smooch.

- Take a nice, long rest.

- So you mean that's it?

- Such an intense battle
tires me out.

- What?

But I was just getting
warmed up.

Come on, just one more
battle, please?

- I'm sorry.
I'm too exhausted.

Hey, if you still
want to battle someone,

why don't you guys
go on over to the Battle Park?

- What's the Battle Park?

- We've never heard of it.

- Oh, it's great!

It's a park
where lots of trainers

take their Pokémon
and battle.

It's run by a staff
of professional trainers,

and you wouldn't believe
how well those Pokémon

have been taught to follow
their trainers' commands.

And the best part is,

the Battle Park has almost
every Pokémon there is.

- Wow, I'd really love
to see it.

- Pika!

- Hey, do you guys want to go
check it out right now?

- If there are any trainers
half as beautiful as you,

count me in.

- Finally.

This is the last one.

- Pokéballs on the wall,
Pokéballs.

- If one of those Pokéballs
should fall...

- Wobbuffet.

- Hey.

all: Hey!

- Since the park's
closed today,

it'd be a good time for you
to go out and sweep it up.

all: Wha...

- Here's a few more
dirty Pokéballs.

all: Wha...

- [chuckles]
You've got the easy job.

I've got to go to town and shop.
Bye.

all: Have a nice day.

- Oh, does he know
who he's talking to?

- I'd say not.

Hey, there's no one
stopping us

from just taking these things

and scramming out of here,
you know?

- Wait.

We haven't gotten
our first paycheck yet.

- You know that's just
chump change.

- Hello?
both: Huh?

- Hmm, there's nobody around.

- Oh, do you think
they're closed?

- Must be.

I don't even see
any workers or trainers around.

- It's the twerps.

- What do we do?

- I'll tell you what.

Now's our chance
to use these park Pokéballs

to catch that Pikachu.

- I guess we just have
bad timing.

- That's okay.
We'll come back tomorrow.

- Welcome to Battle Park.

- Oh, we thought
you were closed.

- Then you weren't thinking,
were you?

Because we're open / , .

- Okay then.
Admission for three, please.

- Pika.

- At Battle Park,
we're here to serve.

- What are all those
Pokémon pictures behind you?

- Normally those are the Pokémon
that you can choose from

to do your battling with,

but we're so
super busy today

that they've all been
spoken for.

Really big bummer, huh?

[together] Huh?

- But I don't see
anyone else.

It looks like
we're the only ones here.

- They've all been put
on layaway.

- Tough luck,
but if you dare,

try the Pokémon Potluck
Grab Bag Course.

- What's the Potluck
Grab Bag Course?

- Well, it's a thrill a minute
as you battle mysterious Pokémon

guaranteed to be the most
powerful Pokémon

this park can produce.

- Just think of it.

Testing your wits
while thinking on your feet.

- Strongest Pokémon
in the park, huh?

All right, this'll be a great
workout for me.

Let's go to the Potluck
Grab Bag Course.

- Just step through these doors
and I'll be back in a jiff.

- All right. Let's go.
- Pika!

- I wonder where
all the other trainers are

that'll be battling you, Ash.

- Me too.
This is so exciting.

- Toge, Toge.

- Welcome to your
battle site.

- But aren't you...

- Yes, none other than...

- This park's unbeatable...

- Pokémon trainers
extraordinaire.

- You're not involved
in this part of it.

- So keep it down!

- I want to take a shot
at being a Pokémon trainer too.

- Okay, time to get
this battle battling.

- But who's gonna judge?

- We forgot the judge.

- Well, don't look at me.

- I can't be no judge.

- Uh, I could officiate
if you'd like.

- Say, that would be
just swell.

- Then let the first
battle begin.

Challengers,
step forward.

- Yes.
- Super.

I choose you.

- No. Hold on.

- And what will come out?

Pokéball, go.

- Venusaur.

- A Venusaur first, huh?

- Venusaur,
the Seed Pokémon.

Venusaur uses
its large petals

to capture sunlight
and transform it into energy.

- Looks really strong, Ash.

What Pokémon are you gonna
start out with?

- Pika.
- Toge.

- Venusaur. Saur!

- Ah! You're right.
It's strong.

Hey, Venusaur's a Grass type,
so I guess I'll use a Fire type.

Let's go, Cyndaquil.

- Cyndaquil.

- Oh, no.

- He's not using Pikachu.

- I've logged tons of Plant type
hours with Victreebel.

Okay, Venusaur,
Razor Leaf now.

- Venusaur.

Saur, Saur.

- Dodge it, Cyndaquil.

- Cynda! Cynda!

Cynda!

- Ah!
- Quil?

- Whoa, that Razor Leaf.
It's amazing.

- Pika!
- Toge.

- James did that?
- I think so.

- I knew my day would come,
and now it's here.

Now, let's rock and roll!

- Venusaur, Tackle Attack.

- Venusaur.

- Cyndaquil, Dodge.

- Cynda!

- Venusaur.

- Quil!

Quil!

- Cyndaquil!
- Whoo-hoo!

- James is really
in the zone.

- Cynda...

- Excellent, Venusaur.
Now use Vine Whip.

- Venusaur.

Saur, Saur.

- Jump and dodge it.

- Cynda.

- Its attacks
are so powerful.

- Togepi.

- Venusaur,
Vine Whip again.

- Venusaur. Saur, Saur.

- Cyndaquil,
you got to dodge it.

- Cynda. Cynda. Cynda.

Quil!

Quil, Quil.

- Cyndaquil.

- Outstanding.

Let's finish up
with Razor Leaf.

- Venusaur.

Saur, Saur.

- Smoke Screen, Cyndaquil.

- Quil!

- Oh, no.
- Venusaur.

Saur, Saur.

- Wait.
Now where did they go?

- Cyndaquil,
Swift Attack.

- Quil!

- Venusaur!

Vena.
- Venusaur!

- Cynda.
- Great, Cyndaquil.

Now Flamethrower.

- Cyndaquil!

- Now dodge it, Venusaur.

- Venusaur.

Venusaur!

- Ah!

Venusaur,
what have they done?

- James seems to have grown
awful close to that Venusaur.

- Stop your blubbering
and get back out there and win.

- Let's see, I've used Tackle
and Razor Leaf and Vine Whip.

What haven't I used?
Steady, steady.

- Think you can do a Grass type
Pokémon's most powerful attack?

- Saur.

- Then let's give them
a Solar Beam.

- Venusaur.

- Oh, yeah?

Cyndaquil, use Flamethrower.

- Cyndaquil!

- Venusaur!

- Quil!

Quil!

- Cyndaquil.

- Cyndaquil's unable
to battle.

Venusaur's the winner.

- I win!

- Venusaur.

- Cyndaquil,
you were great.

You have a good rest.

- Cyndaquil.

- I sure didn't expect it
to use Solar Beam.

- With a Venusaur
that big and strong,

it seemed like
the only choice left.

- Toge, Toge.

- Hey, this kind of practice
is awesome.

On to the next match.

- Who's that Pokémon?

It's Tauros.

- The second battle
will now begin.

Challengers approach.

- Okay, who'll be next?

- Hey, it's my turn now.

- No, it's still my turn.

- No, it ain't.
- Excuse me.

- Mine.
- Coming through.

- No way! Now look.
- Huh?

- Sorry for the delay.

- And now begin.

- I'm dying to see
what's in store for me.

- [roars]

- Whoa.
A Charizard this time.

- Charizard,
the Flame Pokémon.

Charizard's powerful flame
can melt absolutely anything.

- Oh, another powerful one.

- Pika.
- Toge.

- That's no fair.
I always wanted a Charizard.

- Jessie and a Fire type
should not mix.

- I'll fight a Fire type
with a Water type.

Totodile, go.

[throaty growl]

- [laughs]

I once dreamed of becoming
the most powerful trainer

that this world
has ever seen,

and now my day
has finally come.

- [roars]

- Are you ready, Charizard?

Use Poison Sting.

- Ah!
Charizard can't do that.

- Totodile, Water g*n.

- [roars]

- That's no Arbok, Jessie.

- I told you to read
this battle book, but no.

- I don't have time
for some boring bunch of bunk.

I call the shots around here.
Get it?

All right, Charizard.
Use Dig.

- Jessie, how could it
do that?

- This is just embarrassing.

- [roars]

- Did it?
- Oh, my.

- Oh, yes.
- Whoa.

- You've got to be careful,
Totodile,

'cause Charizard
could pop out anywhere.

- [roars]

- Now, I'd like you to use
Iron Tail.

both: It can't do that!

- [roars]

- Dodge it, Totodile.

- [screams]

- You okay, Totodile?

- Totodile.

- Can Charizard learn
Iron Tail?

- Pika?
- What do I know?

All of the rules that
I've learned are out the window.

- Now use Iron Tail
one more time.

- [roars]

- You're not gonna win
using that.

Totodile, dodge it
and use Headbutt.

- [roars]

- Now Totodile,
use Scary Face.

- Totodile!

- Charizard, you use your
Scary Face.

- [roars]

- You won't beat us.

- Think again.
Scarier Face.

[both growling]

- Totodile, even scarier.

- [roars]

- Charizard, show them
what scary really means.

- Totodile, even scarier
than that.

- Way, way, way scarier
than that one.

[both roaring]

- So who out-scared who?

- I'm not sure
if I'd call that scary

or disturbing.

- Totodile, Water g*n.

- Totodile!

- Let's see. Yes.

Charizard, take flight
and dodge it.

- [roars]

- You know,
she's not half bad.

- Yeah, but it's the other half
I worry about.

I've seen the craziness
that lurks there.

- I'm sure there's an attack
or two I've forgotten about.

Ah-ha!
Yes, yes, of course.

Charizard, Flamethrower.

- [roars]

- Totodile, use Water g*n.

Totodile, get up.
Get up, please.

Yeah. Way to go.

- Now, Charizard,
Flamethrower again.

- [roars]

- Totodile, heads up and sh**t
Water g*n at the ground.

- Watch out.

- Look at that.
- Hey, that's new.

- Pika!

- Totodile, Water g*n now.

- [roars]

- Charizard!

- Ah!

- Charizard's unable to battle.

Totodile wins.

- Yeah! We did it.

- Oh, Totodile can't fly.
That's not fair.

- You've seen the rest.
Now here's the best.

- And that's me.
- I'm next.

- Me!
- No, me!

- Okay, one more. Yup.

- That's not fair!
- All's fair in love and w*r.

And besides that,
I have a reputation to repair.

- It's too late.

- You just leave the battling
to an expert.

Meanwhile you two
make yourselves useful

and grab some goodies
to take when I win this.

- Aww!
- Aww!

- But I didn't even get a chance
to battle once.

- Quit your bellyaching
or you'll battle me!

- Right!
- Right!

- That's one win for each.

- Pika.
- Togepi.

- Well, not for long.

I'm winning no matter
what comes at me this time.

- The last battle
will now begin.

Challengers step forward.

- Whee!

The fun's just beginning,
so Pokéball, go.

- Blastoise.

- Oh, joy.

I got a big, strong,
handsome Blastoise.

- Wow.

A Blastoise
for my final battle.

- Blastoise,
the Shellfish Pokémon.

Blastoise uses the hydro pumps
on its back

to fire out
extremely powerful blasts.

- I wonder if Ash realizes
he's battling the evolved forms

of Charmander,
Bulbasaur, and Squirtle--

all Pokémon he's owned.

- Toge, Toge.

- Great, so I'll be using
my Pikachu this time.

- Pikachu.

- I'm not taking any chances
this time.

I'm gonna battle this one
by the book.

- Pikachu, Quick Attack.

- Pika...

- Wait! I'm not ready.

- Blast!

- Quick, Blastoise,
use Skull Bash now.

- Blastoise.

- Pikachu, dodge it now.

- Pika.

Pika.
- Blastoise.

- Pikachu is really quick.

- When it comes to speed,
no Pokémon comes close.

- How to deal with speed.

Here we go.

- Now Blastoise,
Bubble Attack.

- Blastoise.

- Pikachu, Quick attack.

- Pika.

- Pika!

- Blastoise.

- Let's end this one, Pikachu.
Thunderbolt.

- Pikachu!

- Let's see,
looking for a good defense.

Oh.
Okay, Blastoise, Withdraw.

- Blastoise.

- Hurry, Jessie. Big attacks.
Big attacks. Big attacks.

Eureka.

Blastoise, Hydro Pump.

- Blastoise.

Blastoise.

- Pikachu, quick,
dodge it.

- [screams]

- Perfect. Hydro Pump again.

- Blastoise. Blast.

- Ah! Pikachu!

- Pikachu!
- This could be it.

- Come on.
I got to do something.

That's it!

Pikachu, make the most powerful
Thunderbolt you can.

- Pikachu!

- Blastoise.

Blast.

- Awesome.
- That was so great.

- Pikachu,
give him a Thunder.

- Pikachu!

- Blast.
- What?

How dare you?

Blastoise,
you are through.

Arbok, let's go.

- It's Arbok.

- Arbok, Poison Sting.

- Pikachu, no!

- What are you doing?

- Prepare for trouble
with a capital T.

- Make it double,
we're on a stealing spree,

using park Pokémon potpourri.

- Try saying that twice.

- Team Rocket,
give back Pikachu.

- Pikachu's staying with us,
along with a few other things.

- Like these park Pokéballs.

- You can't take those ba*ls.
They're the park's property!

- But we consider it
a park souvenir,

since we had such a ball.

[laughter]

- No, you don't.

Totodile...

I choose you.

- Okay, Politoed, go.

- Poli. Politoed.
Politoed.

- Use Water g*n!
- Use Water g*n!

- Totodile!

- Pika.

- Pikachu, are you okay?
- Pika.

- Politoed, Politoed, Politoed,
Politoed.

- I told you to use Water g*n,
not cheer them on.

- [screams]

- Politoed, Politoed,
Politoed.

[all groaning]

- Not again.
- Twerps.

- You're done.
- Give back those Pokéballs.

- Dream on.

We have enough a*tillery
for a whole army.

- Perhaps we should begin
the troop invasion.

- Finally I'll get my turn.

- Wobbuffet.

- Go!

- Venusaur.

- [roars]

- Blast.

[all groaning]

- You know, I've never felt
so powerful.

- We're finally a force
to be reckoned with.

- So's I reckon
you start fighting.

- Hey. It's a rebellion.

- About face,
forward march.

- We're the trainers.
You're the Pokémon. Obey.

- Oh, that's right,
how could you have known?

These Pokémon
are amazingly obedient

when you're inside
the park.

all: Wha...

- [roars]

- Blast.
- Venusaur.

all: Looks like Team Rocket's
blasting off again!

- Wobbuffet!

[singing]
- I'm on a Master Quest

- Pokémon

- I'm on a Master Quest

- Pokémon

- So, Ash, two wins,
with one of them by default.

- I know it was just
Team Rocket and all,

but you still got to battle
Venusaur,

Charizard, and Blastoise.

Pretty good training,
don't you think, Ash?

- Yeah, it was a great way
to get psyched

to win that last badge.

- Pikachu.

male narrator:
After intense training

with the most unlikely
of challengers,

Ash and friends turn again
toward Blackthorn City

and Ash's final badge.

[singing]
- There's no time

To question my moves

I stick to the path
that I choose

Me and my friends
are gonna do it right

To be a Master is my dream

All I've got to do is believe

And I 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
