06x32 - Abandon Ship!

[bunniefuu]

[instrumental music]

Oh, ha-ha-ha, look, Pikachu

my Knuckle Badge.

NARRATOR With Ash's second badge safely in hand

our heroes leave Dewford Island

and head toward the next Gym battle.

First stop, Slateport City.

Then Mauville City after that.

And Mauville City's where the next Gym is, right, Brock?

Yep, that's right, and I can't wait for that Gym battle.

- 'First things first.' - Hm?

Remember? My Slateport Pokémon Contest?

Oh, yeah, I forgot there's a Pokémon Contest there.

This will be your very first contest, May

are you all set?

I think so, I've been practicing with my Beautifly.

MAX Oh, come on, you're gonna be great, I know you are.

You right, that ribbon's as good as mine.

[chuckles]

It's almost time.

Good, and everything's in place.

ASH "Abandon Ship!"

[instrumental music]

JESSIE 'Time for a midday refreshment.'

Hey, this is great, thanks!

You two have really done too much for us.

Free sandwichesanddrinks too?

Oh, no, a cruise is only as good as the folks you meet on it.

Hey, how about a little treat for your Pikachu, huh?

[EXCITED]

Oh, such a cute Pikachu deserves the best.

[DELIGHTED]

BROCK/MAY/MAX Huh!

Pikachu!

PIKACHU [STRUGGLING]

JESSIE/JAMES This baby's in the bag.

Hold it, who are you?

Prepare for trouble, you're so naive!

Make it doubleas wedeceive!

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 floats up at the speed of light.

Surrender now or prepare for a fight.

That's right!

[AFFIRMATIVE]

Team Rocket!

I can't believe I thought you were just a nice old couple.

No one's ever accused us of being old.

And certainly not a couple.

Go, Corphish, I choose you!

[APPEARING]/[EXERTION]

[RELIEVED]

- Ha! - Now, Seviper.

Front and center!

[APPEARING]

Poison Tail!

[POISON TAIL MOVE]

CORPHISH [PAINED]

Go, Corphish! Crabhammer!

[CRABHAMMER MOVE]

SEVIPER [PAINED]

- Uh-h! Huh! - Uh-h! Huh!

Beautifly!

Gust, now!

[GUST MOVE]

[screaming]

Pikachu, Thunderbolt!

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[screaming]

[expl*si*n]

We had to take out a loan to pay for that boat.

Not to mention using our last penny

to buy those blasted snacks.

Snacks ain't the only things blastin'.

SEVIPER [STUNNED]

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH We're blasting off again!

WOBBUFFET [EXASPERATED]

[grunts]

Good job, Pikachu!

[PLEASED]

What is it, Brock?

[groans] Well, it looks like we're out of gas.

ASH/MAY/MAX Huh!

Of course, no radio either.

Just great!

[instrumental music]

Brock, where do you think we're headed?

You got me, May.

We're just drifting wherever the tide carries us.

MAX And now it's getting foggy.

- Hm. - Oh.

BROCK/MAX/MAY Huh!

ASH 'It looks like a ship.'

- Ah! - You think so?

Yeah.

'But something's weird.'

You're right. Maybe it's stuck in the sand.

BROCK It looks pretty new.

BROCK Maybe there's a radio on board.

- Let's check it out! - Yeah.

Attention mystery fans

the moment you've been waiting for!

Join us now as May's Detective Team

investigates this mystery ship.

'Who knows what secrets are contained'

'within its steel walls, awaiting our discovery.'

MAX This ship isgigantic!

BROCK It sure is.

Uh. Hey.

BROCK What?

- Oh! - Oh!

'Another boat!'

BROCK Guess we're not the only one's here.

And another mystery boat is found!

Could this be a piece to the mystery ship puzzle?

Huh!

Flash, a new and equally mysterious character

has entered into the scene.

'And who could he be?'

Who am I? My name's Tommy.

What are you guys doin' on this ship?

We were just..

Our boat ran out of gas a while back.

So we drifted our way here.

Well, that's a total bummer.

I came out here to investigate this ship.

'What's its story?'

TOMMY 'It's a shipwreck known as "The Forsaken Ship."'

After it crashed, the passengers all made it out safely

but the Coast Guard just left it sittin' here

so I came to check it out.

To see if it can be moved or not.

That's kind of sad.

You know, I was actually a passenger

the night this ship crashed.

And right in the middle of the whole evacuation

somehow I lost track of my Marshtomp.

So, I'm thinkin' that with a little bit of luck

Marshtomp made it back to the ship.

That's the other reason that I'm here.

Marshtomp? Uh..

[CURIOUS]

POKEDEX Marshtomp, the Mud Fish Pokémon.

Marshtomp is the evolved form of Mudkip.

It is able to move and swim more quickly through mud

than through water.

I was really hopin' to make it back sooner than this.

- Hope you find your Marshtomp. - Thanks.

As soon as I'm done checkin' things out here

I'd be happy to give you guys a ride to the nearest port.

MAY/BROCK/ASH/MAX That would be awesome!

[RELIEVED]

[instrumental music]

PIKACHU/TORCHIC [HAPPY]

Mm, yummy!

That Tommy sure is a nice guy, givin' us drinks and snacks

while we're waitin' for him, right?

[PLEASED]

TORCHIC [SURPRISED]

[SINISTER]

[EXERTION]

[INTENT]

TORCHIC [SCARED]

[ALARMED]

- Ah! - Torchic?

- Uh! - Uh..

Torchic.

Torchic, where did you go?

- What's wrong? - Uh, Tommy's here!

My Torchic just vanished into thin air.

You're kidding!

'Quick! Let's split up and search the whole ship!'

'Your Torchic's around here somewhere!'

ASH/MAY/MAX/BROCK 'Okay!'

[groaning]

Well that was one blast-off I could've done without.

Yeah, since those other ones are always so much fun, right?

Now who cares, where are we?

We could look around for an "Exit" sign?

Good thinkin'.

[SUSPICIOUS]

Hmm, maybe this way.

[Meowth screams]

- Hm? - Hey, where's Meowth?

Behind me, I thought.

- Torchic! - Torchic!

BROCK Where are you?

Hey, Torchic!

Where'd you run off to?

Huh! Ah!

MAY/ASH/BROCK/TOMMY Huh!

MAY Oh, no, where's Max?

Hey, wait! Where am I?

TORCHIC [STRUGGLING]

Huh! Oh, Torchic!

[WORRIED]

Hey, they caught youse too, huh?

Huh? Meowth? What do you mean "Caught?"

Oh! So that's what you mean!

First Torchic and now Max, it's weird.

Hmm.

[rattling]

What's that?

[gasping]

[MERRY]

It's just some Marill and Azurill. Hm.

This must be their home now.

Well there's no better place for Water Pokémon

to live than on a ship.

[groaning]

You might as well just give it up 'cause there's no way

you're going to get out of those threads.

[DEPRESSED]

[sighs] Why'd this happen to me?

You weren't smart enough to not get caught.

Hey, you got caught too, you know!

Well, who asked you, anyways?

Hey, why don't you use your Fury Swipes to cut the threads?

I can't move anything.

You can cut me loose with your foot claws.

What's in it for me?

Cut me loose and I'll cut you loose.

Suppose there's no other choice.

Hi-i-iyah!

Yeah!

Okay! Now it's your turn to get Meowth out.

Torchic! I'm going to get you out of there.

[RELIEVED]

Hey, that wasn't the deal!

Just hold your Horsea.

- Huh? - Huh?

'Spinarak!'

[ATTACK]

[groans]

[laughing]

And that's for not helpin' me out first.

- Ow! - Hey!

- Take that! - Stop it!

[groaning]

So where could Meowth have gone?

Seems like it's always something.

- Huh! - What's that?

[INTENT]

- Huh? - Ah!

Don't ever scare me like that again!

[scoffs] That showed it. Let's go.

[muffled] Uh.. Jessie!

'Wait! Jessie!'

[groans]

Well, hello, there!

Glad you decided to hang outwith us.

I'm not here to hang out!

Forget about that pesky Twerp

and let me cut your threads so you can get loose!

- Now you're talking! - Me, too?

Are you kiddin'? I'm not as stupid as I look, you know.

Hi-i-iyah!

Oh, yes, you are!

[screaming]

- Are you nuts? - But I wanted to go first!

Well, are you happy now?

[DISTRESSED]

[instrumental music]

ASH Hm.

[screams]

- May! - I think she fell in the water!

Mudkip! Go look for May!

[APPEARING]/[EXERTION]

Good thinking using your Mudkip, Brock.

Yeah.

If only I had my Marshtomp

I could help you look.

[DISAPPOINTED]

Nothin'?

Tell you what, it looks like someone or something

doesn't appreciate us coming around here one bit.

And we're getting picked off one at a time!

[groaning]

Well, well, hi, Twerp!

So, looks like you're all tied up.

I'm not the only one!

So what happened, May, how did they catch you?

It was right out of the blue

I got pulled right into the water.

Well, at least we still have three buddies out there

so I know we'll get rescued soon.

I can't say the same about those two with just one left.

But that one being Jessie is all we need.

So, we'll be rescued in no time!

No opponent's too big or bad for Jessie.

She'll make mincemeat out of that boogeyman

and then make him her sl*ve.

[laughing]

JESSIE 'Hmm.'

I'm lonesome.

James and Meowth, where did you go?

It's not polite to leave a helpless woman all alone.

U-uh?

[CONTENT]

So! You think you're pretty funny, huh?

[sighs]

[SINISTER]

H-huh?

[whimpering]

[groans]

I guess the "Mincemeat" part was over the top?

Mm-hmm.

Hi! Glad you dropped by.

Yeah! We're all here just hangin' around.

I'm in no mood for jokes!

[screaming]

[screams]

[groaning]

MAY/MAX/JAMES This...could go...on...forever. Stop!

[EMPHATIC]

And you are totally useless!

[SAD]

- Hey, Max! - May!

Torchic! Where are you guys?

PIKACHU [URGENT]

[ALERT]/[ATTACK]

[PAINED]

TOMMY/BROCK/ASH Ah!

SWAMPERT [HOSTILE]

[ANGRY]

- What's that? - It's a Swampert!

A Swampert? Let me see.

POKEDEX 'Swampert, the Mud Fish Pokémon.'

Swampert is the evolved form of Marshtomp.

It is able to easily drag large stones weighing over one ton.

It is also able to see through cloudy waters

and detect approaching storms with its fin.

Swampert? No, way!

[ANGRY]

Ah! Hold on!

[INTENT]

[panting]

MUDKIP [URGENT]

ASH/BROCK/TOMMY Ah!

MUDKIP [DISAPPOINTED]

We missed it! It must of jumped in the water.

Go follow it, Mudkip!

[DETERMINED]/[EXERTION]

Come on, let's go, too!

- Yeah! - Yeah!

[URGENT]

BROCK 'Must be in there?'

ASH 'Yeah!'

ASH/BROCK/TOMMY Oh!

- They're here! - They're here!

MEOWTH/JAMES/JESSIE It's the Twerps!

Hurry, help us out of here!

Quit your gawking and untie us, right now!

- Pretty, please? - Pretty, please?

Wonder how they got here?

And Team Rocket, too.

SWAMPERT [HOSTILE]

Mudkip, use Water g*n to cut through those threads!

[SCARED]

[MUD SHOT MOVE]

[screaming]

Swampert, used Mud Shot!

Alright, I'll battle you!

Corphish, I choose you!

[APPEARING]

Use Crabhammer!

[CRABHAMMER MOVE]

SWAMPERT [EXERTION]/[IRON TAIL MOVE]

Iron Tail?

[STUNNED]

Wow, that Swampert can actually use Iron Tail!

Corphish, return!

Pikachu, are you ready?

[AFFIRMATIVE]

- Hold on! - Huh!

I'm almost positive that Swampert

evolved from my Marshtomp.

Whoa! How can you tell?

Well, 'cause I raised that Marshtomp since it was a baby.

It's just got to be mine.

[instrumental music]

Swampert! You sure have grown up.

It's me, Tommy!

You were my Marshtomp, don't you remember me?

[MUD SHOT MOVE]

Ah!

You must have thought that I abandoned you, huh?

And now you hate humans, right?

So that's why you've been putting up

such an awful fight here.

You're trying to keep us

from breaking into your home, that it?

[ANGRY]

- Max, what's going on? - I haven't got a clue.

- Enough! - Save us!

Today, please!

You've got to remember, Swampert!

It's me, Tommy!

When the ship ran aground

everyone was in a panic, remember?

And that's when we got separated.

I thought for sure you were safe and sound inside your Poké Ball

so I left with just my bag.

I never meant to abandon you!

[ANGRY]

[CONCERNED]

[SURPRISED]

TOMMY 'Try and remember.'

You and I have been a team since I was a kid

and you were just a baby Mudkip.

Remember all the hard work we did

so you could evolve into a Marshtomp?

[NOSTALGIC]

Yeah, let's go, Mudkip!

Fire your Water g*n at those empty cans!

[WATER g*n MOVE]

That's great, Mudkip!

[PLEASED]

[EVOLVING]

[CONFUSED]

Awesome! Mudkip, you've evolved into a Marshtomp.

[PLEASED]

Don't you remember how excited we were?

Huh, Swampert?

And how about that Iron Tail you just used, remember?

[NOSTALGIC]

[INTENT]

That was so close!

Try Iron Tail one more time.

[IRON TAIL MOVE]

Perfect!

[PLEASED]

You're so good!

You got Iron Tail down, Marshtomp!

[AFFECTIONATE]

I came back to the ship to get you.

[SENTIMENTAL]

[AFFECTIONATE]

Ah, I'm sorry, Swampert.

Please, forgive me.

Can't you and I be a team again?

Just like before?

[AFFIRMATIVE]

- I think they're okay now. - Yeah.

[PLEASED]

[PLEASED]

[PLEASED]

Ah! That feels good!

[EXERTION]

Everything's fine, Torchic.

It's hard to believe that that big old Swampert

used to be your Marshtomp, Tommy.

Yeah, I'm really sorry

for all the trouble we caused you guys, you know?

[CONTRITE]

Nah. No trouble at all.

Ah, we're free at last!

And out of those confining threads!

Anyway, we're not gonna let a Pokémon that big and strong

just have its way with us and not catch it, are we?

- No! - Lets go, team!

Let's go, Seviper!

[APPEARING]

[gasping]

If you think that our team's big now..

Wait till we're Swampert-sized!

Seviper, Poison Tail!

[POISON TAIL MOVE]

Let's go, Swampert!

[ATTACK]

[PAINED]

[STUNNED]

Is that it, Seviper?

[SHOCKED]

Swampert, use Hydro Pump!

[HYDRO PUMP MOVE]

[screaming]

That makes two flights in one day.

I think this is starting to get old.

And we're gettin' too old for this.

Speak for yourselves, I'm not old!

WOBBUFFET [EXASPERATED]

- Awesome! - Your Swampert is great.

Thank you. Yeah, Swampert, you are great.

[PLEASED]

BROCK 'So, Tommy, what are you gonna do'

'about this abandoned ship?'

Well, it seems to me that it's become home

to a whole lot of Water Pokémon.

Also, it seems to be kind of a refuge to Pokémon

that are crossing the ocean.

Kind of like a Pokémon Oasis, if you know what I mean.

So, I've decided I'm going to stick around

and fix this place up a bit, see?

[chuckles] Me and Swampert of course.

[MERRY]

- That's a great thing to do! - Mm-hm.

Hey, good luck to you guys!

[AGREEMENT]

NARRATOR An abandoned ship became an unlikely site

for a reunion between two old friends.

And now, our heroes are off to Slateport City

as they get that promised ride from a new friend.

Hey, Look at that!

[EXCITED]

TOMMY 'Yep, there it is, that's Slateport City!'

That didn't take too long!

It looks like a really big city!

I can't wait for my Pokémon Contest, I'm so excited.

Me too! Slateport City Gym, here I come!
