07x36 - Me, Myself and Time

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR As our heroes continue their journey

toward Fortree City and Ash's next Gym battle

they decide to take a shortcut

over the mysterious Kirikiri Mountain

well known for its thick fogs.

Ash, hurry up!

Don't get too far behind or we'll lose ya!

I'm not sure this shortcut was such a great idea.

It's getting so foggy, we would have made better

time going around the mountain.

Hmm.

MEOWTH What a mess!

JESSIE How'd we manage to get ourselves stuck out here anyway?

JAMES I don't know, I'm a little foggy on that.

It's 'cause of you Twerps, we're out here!

Shh! Keep that up, we'll never find them.

- Oh. - They're that way!

Yeah? And how do you know that?

Women's intuition. It's a psychic thing.

- What? - What?

Mm? Hey, Pikachu, did you hear that?

[UNSURE]

Where'd everybody go?

Man, I can't see anything, not even my feet!

Ah!

Hey, finally the fog's letting up a bit!

Good, it's about time.

Ash, are you hungry for lunch?

- Huh? - Huh?

I don't see Ash and Pikachu anywhere!

MAX/BROCK 'Oh, no!'

We must have lost 'em in the fog!

We have to go back and find them!

- 'Ash! Pikachu!' - 'Can you guys hear us?''

[SHOCKED]

[exhales]

Wow. That was close!

I don't get it! Where could they all be?

[WORRIED]

BALTOY [CONTENT]

What's that?

[CONFUSED]

A Pokémon, right?

POKEDEX Baltoy, the Clay Doll Pokémon.

Baltoy moves about while spinning like a top.

It has been said that Baltoy

coexisted with humans in ancient times.

Oh, no! It's headed right for the cliff!

Pikachu! Try using Thunderbolt to stop it from going off!

[AFFIRMATIVE]/[DETERMINED]

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[CONTENT]

Didn't work!

[CONCERNED]

It says that Baltoy are part Psychic Pokémon

and part Ground Pokémon.

Which means electric attacks aren't going to work!

[CONTENT]

Use Quick Attack and aim right for its feet!

[AFFIRMATIVE]

[QUICK ATTACK MOVE]

[SURPRISED]

[PAINED]

Perfect! Great Pikachu!

[PLEASED]

There you are, Baltoy!

Oh! Are you, okay?

BALTOY [AFFIRMATIVE]

Thank goodness.

So what do you think you were doing to my Baltoy, huh?

Uh, well, if it kept going like that

it would have fallen right off of that cliff!

Huh? What cliff?

- Uh! - But now it's okay!

[COMPASSIONATE]

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gotten angry with you.

Oh, well! I'm just glad you understand now!

[PLEASED]

My name's Calista. And this is my Baltoy.

[FRIENDLY]

My name's Ash and this is Pikachu!

[EXCITED]/[FRIENDLY]

[screaming]

I'm lucky, I got nine lives.

Next time you have a psychic moment, keep it to yourself!

Now where, Madam Jessie?

Um. That way! I saw a flash from an electric attack.

- Huh? - Huh?

And it had the familiar earmarks of a Pikachu's Thunderbolt.

CALISTA 'We were searching for ancient artifacts.'

Then, when the fog got so thick, I couldn't see a thing

so I asked Baltoy to help find us a way out of here!

Wow! So there are ancient artifacts around here?

Yeah!

- This says so! - Oh.

See? It shows that there are a ton of old ruins around here

which hold the most valuable artifacts in the whole universe!

In the whole universe? That's pretty cool.

And then, once we get our hands on these artifacts

they'll tell us all about an ancient civilization!

Mm. Finding those artifacts is my dream.

Hmm-mm. That's really exciting!

I'm hoping to someday become an archaeologist.

Sadly, that probably won't happen.

Uh, but why not?

Cause my parents don't want me to be an archaeologist.

They want me to be a doctor like them.

So when they found the box of samples I'd been collecting

they got all mad at me!

I guess they were so angry that they threw 'em all away!

But they have no idea I still have this wonderful book!

And then one day, there was a phone call.

WOMAN # 'Please! You must come and help me!'

'You have to come to the Kirikiri Mountain ruins'

'with your Baltoy!'

But why, ma'am?

'The articles in that beloved book of yours are true!'

But it will take the combined abilities of both you

and your Baltoy to find that which you seek so earnestly!

I beg you, Calista, please come help me!

So I snuck out of the house

without telling my parents, of course.

I can understand.

So, Calista, you have any idea where those ruins might be?

Yes. See, there's a song from my book.

♪ Listen listen to what I sing ♪

♪ Pass pass on through as you travel Baltoy's path ♪

♪ Go on ahead will you ever make it back? ♪♪

Uh! But how do you know the song, Ash?

Uh..

A lady sitting by a tree was singing it.

I think that song holds the secret to entering

the Kirikiri Mountain ruins!

Do you remember exactly where you heard her singing?

Sure I do! The tree is just up ahead.

So if you want, I'll take you there right now!

Oh! You mean you'll come along with me?

Yeah, of course!

Thank you, that's so sweet!

Did you both hear that?

They're on their way to go find

the most valuable treasure in the whole universe.

Imagine what treasure that could be?

The kind which we give as a present for the Bossman!

Brilliant!

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH That's big time promotions

with a big corner office!

[AGREEMENT]

Now! The sneaky part, we let the Twerps lead us

most of the way there, then..

We swoop in out of nowhere and

swipe the valuable treasure, right?

Right! The old swoop-and-swipe plan!

Swoop!

♪ Listen listen to what I sing ♪

♪ Pass pass on through as you travel Baltoy's-- ♪♪

JESSIE Alright, lady, you can give it a rest.

Where's the treasure?

I don't believe my song is for you.

Then prepare for trouble, let us sing you our song.

Make it a double, if you care to sing along!

♪ To protect the world from devastation ♪

♪ To unite all peoples within our nation ♪

♪ To denounce the evils of truth and love ♪

[ENTHUSIASTIC]

What is it you want from me?

Prepare for trouble, we know what we want.

- Hey, we did that already! - Oh, right.

We demand to be told the whereabouts

of the most valuable treasure in all the universe!

No.

Then we'll just have to force it out of you!

Cacnea! Let's go!

[APPEARING]/[AFFECTIONATE]

Would you mind getting your pins out of me?

Seviper! Let's go!

[APPEARING]/[CONFIDENT]

Xatu, help me out!

[APPEARING]/[CALM]

Cacnea, Pin m*ssile, now!

[PIN m*ssile MOVE]

Xatu, Reflect!

[AFFIRMATIVE]/[REFLECT MOVE]

- Hmm? - Hmm?

- What was that? - Let's go see.

Xatu! Teleport!

[TELEPORT MOVE]

Now use, Peck!

XATU/CACNEA [PECK MOVE]/[PAINED]

- Ah! - Check it out!

'Those bad guys are Team Rocket!'

Stop that! Stop it right now!

- It's the Twerps! - It's the Twerps!

Hey! Don't bark at us!

We're the ones getting pecked!

Cacnea! Use your Pin m*ssile on them, go!

[PIN m*ssile MOVE]

Baltoy, Rapid Spin, now!

[RAPID SPIN MOVE]

[screaming]

Seviper, use Wrap Attack on Baltoy!

[WRAP MOVE]

Use Thunderbolt, Pikachu!

[AFFIRMATIVE]/[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[PAINED]

Xatu! Shadow Ball!

[SHADOW BALL MOVE]

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH We'll be back!

WOBBUFFET [EXASPERATED]

- Are you okay? - Fine!

Please! I beg of you to tell me the meaning of the song

you were singing before!

Why, it's just a song.

What are you talking about?

Oh, I'm talking about the part in the song

when you sing about traveling Baltoy's path!

See, I think that path could lead me to the ancient ruins

that has the most valuable treasure in the universe!

I knew it as soon as we talked on the phone.

- Huh? - Follow me.

♪ Though you may be afraid to pass on through ♪

♪ Pass pass you must.. ♪♪

Ah!

[PANICKING]

I didn't think we were ever gonna stop.

Huh?

- Hey, look! - Huh?

CALISTA Amazing! They're drawings from the Baltoy civilization!

ASH Drawings from where?

CALISTA 'From the ancient times when Baltoy co-existed with humans.'

'And it looks like their civilization'

'was super advanced!'

[PLEASED]

Excuse me, but do you know where we can find the

most valuable treasure in the universe?

Over there.

Oh, really?

It's just a pile of rocks.

[CONFUSED]

WOMAN # There was a major earthquake

which caused part of the wall to collapse.

'But underneath that rubble'

'is the Baltoy civilization's greatest invention.'

Sadly, my Baltoy is buried under there as well.

- Oh, no! - That's awful!

Well, let's help get it out!

[grunting]

I can't even get it to budge!

Uh! There's got to be something we can do to help.

[EAGER]

Calista, your Baltoy could do it.

Huh?

Providing you use the right attack.

Of course!

Alright, Ash, you'd better get out of the way.

Okay!

Xatu, Reflect!

[ALERT]

[DETERMINED]/[REFLECT MOVE]

Baltoy, use Confusion to move those rocks!

[ALERT]

[DETERMINED]/[CONFUSION MOVE]

[PLEASED]

Baltoy!

Baltoy, speak to me!

[WEAK]

I know how hard this has been.

Take a long rest!

[RELIEVED]

CALISTA This is the Baltoy civilization's

greatest invention?

WOMAN # That's right.

This marvel allows you to harness

the most valuable treasure in the whole universe!

Yeah? Really?

So how did you know about all of this stuff?

Wait!

But, it says here in my book that

nobody has even discovered the treasure yet!

That's true. I've got one too.

- Hey, that's my book! - Yes.

It was this book that first convinced me

to research the Baltoy civilization.

Unbelievable.

[AWED]

My mother and father stubbornly refused to allow me

the pursuit of archeology, my passion!

Hey, that's just what happened to Calista!

I'm afraid I wasted a lot of time and energy in my life

trying to convince them they were wrong.

But still, you did discover this treasure, right?

WOMAN # 'Perhaps, but when it comes to the Baltoy civilization'

'I've only scratched the surface!'

Calista, we only get one life

and sometimes only one chance to follow our dream!

I know exactly what you mean.

Hold on! This book only came out just a couple of months ago

so I know that it's totally brand new!

It is? But how come your book is super old looking?

[chuckles] Actually, I've had this book for years.

And I've been using it just as long for all my research!

[groaning]

[BAFFLED]

But how is that possible?

Don't you worry, Calista.

Now, do me a favor and please have your Baltoy do Rapid Spin

in the middle of the magic wheel.

It is then you shall learn what the most

valuable treasure in the universe truly is!

Okay.

[STARTLED]

Hey! What's that?

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH [laughs]

JESSE 'See, James? I told you we'd find them here.'

Yes, but it looks like they could use some company!

Present company accepted?

ASH Team Rocket!

PIKACHU [ANGER]

Let's start small, shall we?

One Baltoy..

...comin' up!

[SCARED]

Oh, no! Not Baltoy!

[SCARED]

- Success! - Success!

A very good start!

And now, on to bigger and better things!

Which means, dig up all that treasure!

Stop that!

If you damage this magic wheel

you could destroy its power forever!

MEOWTH 'Here we come!'

Xatu, Teleport!

[TELEPORT MOVE]

Now, Peck Attack!

[PECK MOVE]

Hey! That pecking's going to ruin

the opulent steel finish!

[PAINED]

Xatu!

So, it's made out of steel, huh?

That's right, even harder than your head, Twerpy.

Well, that won't be a problem for us, right?

What do you say we give them a nice Thunderbolt Attack?

[AFFIRMATIVE]

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[RELIEVED]

How'd he know?

Oh, I don't know, Meowth, you told him, perhaps?

[EXERTION]

Baltoy! Rapid Spin Attack!

[RAPID SPIN MOVE]

[PLEASED]

That was awesome!

JESSIE 'We crumbled!'

JAMES But it was made of steel!

What we need now are nerves of steel

'cause I'm feeling something bad coming!

Now, Xatu, Shadow Ball!

[SHADOW BALL MOVE]

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Ah!

You were right, Meowth, how'd you know?

I guess I'm just psychic too!

Well, you need to work on your timing!

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

WOBBUFFET [EXASPERATED]

We did it!

PIKACHU [JUBILANT]

Now, wasn't Baltoy about to do Rapid Spin on the magic wheel?

Right! You ready, Baltoy?

[AFFIRMATIVE]

[RAPID SPIN MOVE]

What kind of treasure is it?

[INTRIGUED]

Calista.

I'm feeling a little bit afraid right now.

- Huh? - Huh?

- 'Excuse me!' - 'Where are you going?'

- Huh! - Uh!

Who are you?

I can tell you now.

My name is Calista.

I'm you, but from the future!

- Huh? - Huh!

The future?

This is what the Baltoy civilization gave us

a time machine!

I've learned in my life

that the most valuable treasure in the universe is time.

A time machine!

They invented it that long ago?

Yes.

But sadly, my time grows short

in which to learn all of its many secrets.

And that is why I'm leaving you to finish up my research!

My reason for coming was to encourage

you to stick with your dream!

Our time together wasn't long

but it was magical.

Don't go!

You see, I've never done anything like this before!

Please, you need to teach me!

The same person cannot exist in the same physical space

for any longer time than this.

Which means you'll have to continue this work on your own.

But if you're me in the future, then you already exist

and I can't change any of that!

Oh, but you've already changed the future.

How?

When I called and asked for your help

you came to me with great courage and without question!

It is that kind of courage that can change the future.

Please remember that!

And remember the song the Baltoy civilization sang.

Hmm.

Future me! Thank you so!

I guess time is the most

valuable treasure in the universe.

[INSPIRED]

How can I ever thank you, Ash?

[chuckles] Don't forget, I learned a lot today too!

From now on, I'm working as hard as I can for what I really want!

Yeah, me too! My dream is to become a Pokémon Master!

- And you'll become one, I know! - Thanks!

Sure! Bye-bye!

[WARM]/[INTENT]

BROCK 'Ash, there you are!'

Huh?

- We were worried about you! - Are you okay?

- Glad we found you. - Yeah, I'm glad too!

So, hey! Come on, time to go!

- Ah! - Ah!

We've got to get to my next Gym battle!

Don't you even want to have lunch first?

Nope. Don't want to waste time! Right, Pikachu?

[AGREEMENT]

- Huh? - Huh?

- Hey! - Wait up, Ash!
