14x02 - Enter Iris and Axew!

[bunniefuu]

(narrator) Soon after arriving in the Unova region

Ash and Pikachu witnessed a foreboding shadow

within a huge thunderstorm.

Later, Ash met and had a Battle with a brand new

Pokemon Trainer named Trip.

However, for some reason, Pikachu was unable to use

any Electric-type moves during their Battle

losing to Trip and his Snivy.

Suddenly, while Pikachu was being examined

at Professor Juniper's lab

another thunderstorm suddenly appeared.

And then..

Pi-ka!

Pikachu. No, Pikachu.

Oshawott.

- Ah! - Ah!

The system. It's on overload.

The lab could be destroyed.

(Professor Oak) 'All because of that lightning?'

'Could a Legendary Pokemon from the Unova region'

'be behind all of this?'

[growling]

Pika-chu.

Pikachu, hang in there!

[screaming]

[grunting]

Ash, no.

Pi..

- Huh? - Huh?

We're back online?

Ash dear, you alright?

Oshawott. Oshawott.

I'm okay. Wait. Pikachu.

Pika.

Pika. Pi.. Pika!

Pikachu. Does that mean you're back to normal?

Pikachu!

Alright. Now, use Thunderbolt on me.

Pika-chu!

Wow. Nice shot. Volt Tackle, go!

Pika-Pika-Pika-Pika!

My goodness.

[groans]

You're really alright.

Pikachu.

[chuckles]

You think it really was Zekrom's doing? The Legendary Pokemon?

I'd say this calls for some additional research.

When it comes to Pokemon in the Unova region

there's so much stuff I don't know.

Know what I mean, buddy?

Pika.

(Ash) "Enter Iris and Axew."

(Ash) 'I've decided my next journey will be right here.'

- Huh! - Huh!

For sure. I want to meet all the Pokemon from Unova.

And I'll make a bunch of new friends, too.

Pika.

- Of course. - Huh!

I knew it, Ash. No one knows you better than me.

I presume you'll be visiting all the Pokemon Gyms?

That's the plan.

I'm gonna go meet and beat the Gym Leaders

get eight badges and then, win the Unova League.

Well, then I'll continue to look after your Pokemon

back at my lab.

Don't worry about a thing.

Pikachu, take good care of Ash.

Pika-Pika.

And call us from time to time.

I'll look forward to hearing about

the new Pokemon you've met.

How does that sound?

You've got it.

Pikachu.

So here's your Pokedex and Poke ba*ls.

Thanks, professor.

The nearest Pokemon Gym from where we are

is in Striaton City.

So, I would think because of that, the best thing to do

would be to challenge the Striaton Gym first.

Thanks. I'll do that.

You know, you might even bump into Trip.

He left here ahead of you.

Oh.

Next time I battle him, I'll win for sure. Right, Pikachu?

Pika-Pika.

Where's your handkerchief? Are your clothes packed?

Do you have clean underwear?

Don't worry, mom. I'm not a little kid.



There's a Pokemon Center on the other side of the forest.

Stop by there if you need help.

Right. See you later.

Take care, Ash.

And be safe.

Ash, good luck. And have fun!

- Off he goes once more. - Yeah.

Hm, I wonder how much he will have grown

the next time I see him. I can't wait.

Osha.

Maybe I'll meet a Bug-type Pokemon first.

Or a Grass-type or Water-type Pokemon.

- Huh? Huh! - Pika.

Pokemon?

(Pokedex) Axew. The Tusk Pokemon.

Axew marks its territory by making scratch marks on trees

with its tusks, which regrow if they fall out.

That doesn't look like this I'll catch it anyway.

Now! Go, Poke Ball!

Ouch! Ouch?

Okay, what was that for?

See, I was only trying to catch a Pokemon.

Oh, so what you're really telling me

is I look like a Pokemon.

Your Pokedex is this cute face in there?

Tell me, is it?!

- No. Uh, sorry. - Fine.

I accept your apology.

But you've got a long way to go as a Trainer

if you think I look like a Pokemon.

Right, Axew?

Axew. Axew.

Wow! That's where it was.

Whoa, no way. Pikachu?

You've got to be the sweetest thing ever.

- Pikachu. - So cute.

And those jiggling cheeks.

You can't find anything this jiggly in Unova.

(Pikachu) 'Pika-Pika.'

Well, I for one am dying to know what a Pikachu's doing here.

Now, come on tell me, tell me, tell me.

We're from Pallet Town in the Kanto region.

Pallet Town?

Yeah. I'm Ash. And I want to enter the Unova League.

Isn't that nice. Nice to meet you. I'm Iris.

Wow-wee! That tingles. Oh!

(Pikachu) 'Pika!'

[chuckles]

Uh, sorry about that.

Tell me, Ash, wasn't there a thunderstorm in Nuvema Town?

- Yesterday? - Sure was.

Professor Juniper said Zekrom caused all that lighting.

No! Zekrom, the Legendary Pokemon caused it?

Please. I want to know everything.

- Pika! - Huh.

- The Pokemon from yesterday. - Pika.

- Pika-Pika. - Hey. Wait up. Ash!

- 'I see you've arrived safely.' - Yes.

We've succeeded in infiltrating the Unova region on schedule.

We will continue your plan to completely take over

the Unova region.

And we will also catch Pikachu as well as

the Legendary Unova region Pokemon, and send them to you.

What? Did you say Legendary Pokemon?

Yes, but in order to do this, we would need all of our Pokemon

to be sent to us right away from headquarters.

(woman) 'I'm afraid that won't happen.'

If you use Pokemon that aren't from Unova

you'll attract too much attention.

'To safeguard our organization's secrets, you'll have to catch'

'and use Pokemon that are native to Unova.'

(all in unison) Right.

(Meowth) Uh-oh.

So where does that leave me?

I have every confidence that you won't let me down.

Wow! Hear that? He believes in us.

With that show of support, there's no way

we're gonna let him down.

Alright, from now on, our goal is to put our names

in Team Rocket history.

- 'Right.' - 'Right.'

You really think those three will be successful?

Who knows?

What I do know is their presence will eventually force

that secret organization in the Unova region

to come out of the shadows.

[chuckles]

(Meowth) 'Time to check out all the equipment'

'the Boss sent us for our mission.'

The Boss went all out with our mission starter kit.

He even supplied us with Poke ba*ls.

Great. Now we can catch new Pokemon.

[all gasping]

[squeaking]

Wow.

(Pokedex) Deerling. The Season Pokemon.

With the change of each season, Deerling's appearance

changes as well.

Wow! So, those are Deerling.

They're awesome!



Let's catch a Pokemon.

You don't get it. You act like a little kid.

If you want to catch it, you've got to battle it.

I knew that! Come on, Pikachu.

- Pika. - Deer?

- Deerling. - Deerling.

- Hey, wait up. - Pika!

[screaming]

Okay, I give.

Who was that Pokemon anyway?

It was a Patrat.

You are a little kid.

Ax-Axew!

(group) Whose that Pokemon?

(group) It's Oshawott!

Wonder if I can eat this.

Pika.

[screams]

Come and get it. Dinner.

Huh? Where'd Ash go?

- 'Down here.' - Huh?

Pika-Pika.

Sorry about that.

I see. So Pikachu had a really rough day because of Zekrom.

Pikachu must've stored up and then let out

all of its electricity, because of all

the intense stuff Zekrom was up to.

That's what the professor said.

Well, Zekrom is a Legendary Pokemon, you know.

I'd love to meet Zekrom someday.

I can't wait to meet Zekrom!

Axew!

Unova's got lots of cool Pokemon. Not just Zekrom.

I'll meet them all.

Hmm? Iris?

- Mm. Uh.. - Pika.

Mm..

That Unova sky's full of stars.

From now on, our journey's gonna be under this sky.

Pikachu!

A sh**ting star.

[chuckles] That's great. Good luck.

Pikachu, don't you feel lucky too?

Pika-Pika.

[chuckles]

Pika! Pika-Pika.

'Pikachu!'

- Oshawott. - 'Pika-Pi!'

(Pikachu) 'Pika!'

Iris left early, you know?

I wonder where she could have gone?

Pika-Pika.

Well, no big deal. It's a brand new day.

[Pidove cooing]

- Huh? - Pika.

[cooing]

Whoa! What's that?

(Pokedex) Pidove. The Tiny Pigeon Pokemon.

A Pidove flock's cooing can get extremely noisy.

'Pidove is not attracted to shiny objects.'

Cool. Pidove. Let's go.

Pika-Pika!

[cooing]

Okay, let's battle that one.

- Pidove! - Pikachu!

Pikachu, use Thunderbolt, now!

Pika-chu!

Pika-chu!

[cooing]

Alright. And now, go Poke..

[screaming]

[cooing]

[screaming]

Dove! Pidove!

[cooing]

[both panting]

Pikachu, you okay?

Pikachu.

Guess it's never easy, is it?

But no way am I giving up.

Pika-Pika.

[cooing]

One more. Let's get it this time.

Pikachu.

Pikachu, use Quick Attack.

Pika!

[cooing]

[cooing]

Alright, now Iron Tail.

Pikachu!

Pika-chu!

Okay. Now is the time. Go, Poke Ball!

[cooing]

Oh, man. And I almost had it, too.

[cooing]

That's Gust. Hold on, Pikachu.

Oh, no. That was Quick Attack.

Pi-dove!

That was Air Cutter.

[cooing]



Dodge, Pikachu!

Alright! Thunderbolt, now!

Pika-chu!

[cooing]

This is it. Let's go Poke Ball!

[gasps]

Mmm.. Yes!

My first Unova region Pokemon. I caught a Pidove!

Pi-Pikachu!

[chuckles]

Pika! Pikachu!

We did it. We did it.

Whoa. You're that excited about catching a little Pidove?

[chuckles] What a kid.

Axew!

Of course I'm excited.

I've got a new friend.

It's also my first Unova region Pokemon.

Well, on second thought, you and that Pidove

'might be the perfect match.'

- Pika, Pika! - Axew!

[both gasps]

(Ash) 'Ugh! You guys again?'

"Again" is the question? So Twerpish indeed.

The answer to come as we feel the need.

Bringing the blinding white light of evil into the future.

Thrusting the hammer of justice down onto the black darkness

of the universe.

And carving our names in the rock of eternity.

The fiery destroyer. Jessie.

And with thunderous emotion, I am James.

Wisest of the wise, Meowth.

(all in unison) Now, gather. Under the name of Team Rocket.

Team Rocket? Who are they?

They're a group of bad guys who steal people's Pokemon.

Right. Evil deeds like stealing Pokemon are our stock in trade.

To rule the world.

'Because that's what we do.'

Axew's not yours, it's mine. Give it back.

- I see. So this is Axew. - Pi..

And we claim Axew as part of our takeover of the Unova region.

Hold on. You must be a Meowth.

What are you doing here? Forget about that, how can you talk?

Simple. I'm a genius.

A Meowth that you only get to hear once in a lifetime.

- Pika. - Axew.

Stop! You're wasting energy.

No way! Pidove, I choose you!

Pidove! Dove!

He's using a region Pokemon, too.

You're up, Meowth.

Show them not to mess with a Pokemon from Kanto.

Fury Swipes!

Pidove, use Gust!

[cooing]

[screaming]

Well, that could've been worse.

Try my Pokemon on for size.

Woobat!

- What's that? - It's a Woobat.

A Woobat. That name's got a nice ring to it.

Nice ring is a good thing.

'Woobat, use Air Slash.'

Woobat!

Dodge it, quick!

[cooing]

Alright! Use Quick Attack!

Dodge and use Gust!

[cooing]

Pidove!

Snap out of it.

This was a worthwhile catch. Of course, I caught it.

Our premiere mission in Unova is complete. Off we go.

- Huh! - Huh!

[laughs]

Nice doing business with you, Twerp.

- Pikachu! - Axew.

I'm coming, Axew.

Pikachu! Axew! We'll save you.

[grunting]

Ahh!

No way.

- Pikachu! - Ah!

[screaming]

[grunting]

You okay, Ash?

Yeah.

- Oshawott. - Huh?

Oshawott!

[screaming]

Pikachu!

Axew!

Oshawott. Oshawott.

Oshawott. Oshawott.

You don't do that to us.

Pikachu and Axew are our friends. You're not taking them!

Right. Listen to Ash, because he tells the truth.

Pikachu, Thunderbolt.

Pika!

Woobat, go!



'Use Air Slash.'

Woobat!

[gasps]

Air Slash again!

[grunting]

Oshawott!

[grunting]

You can do it, Pikachu. Use Volt Tackle!

Pika-Pika-Pika-Pika-Pika!

[panting]

I guess Team Rocket got away.

- Huh! Pikachu. - Huh! Axew.

(Ash) Pikachu, stay strong.

Let's hurry to the Pokemon Center.

Right.

Thanks, Oshawott.

Oshawott.

(Nurse Joy) 'Thank you for waiting.'

I'm happy to say your Pokemon are feeling just fine.

[all chatters]

[chuckles]

Oh, I'm so relieved.

That's great, Nurse Joy. Thank you.

Seeing a Pikachu it's very unusual.

Guess so. See, we're from Pallet Town.

This's the first Pokemon Center we've seen since coming

to the Unova region.

Then welcome.

And just like Kanto, if your Pokemon ever need help

or you need anything at all, feel free to stop by anytime.

Thank you.

(narrator) With their brand new friend

Pidove as part of the family

Ash and Pikachu's journey in

the Unova region has truly begun.

One can imagine the adventures that lie ahead

and you won't want to miss a single one.

I have to say, Ash, not bad.

Huh!

You're still a kid, but, I am impressed.

Thank you. You saved Axew.

- Ax, Axew. - Mm..

Well, we should both thank Oshawott. Right, buddy?

Pika.

I still can't quite figure out why Oshawott

helped us like that.

Oshawott.
