[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR It's another beautiful day for our traveling heroes

as they continue their journey toward Fortree City.

And Ash's next Gym battle.

I can't believe how awesome the weather is.

[HAPPY]

- Hm? - Hm?

That felt like a raindrop.

ASH "Unfair-Weather Friends."

- There's a tree. - Let's get under it.

[thunder rumbling]

- Ah! - Huh!

Now, it's lightning too.

- What? - Now, how could it be snowing?

ASH/MAX/BROCK/MAY Oh!

This is nuts. What's goin' on?

CASTFORM [EXERTION]

ASH/MAX/MAY/BROCK Huh?

[EXERTION]

What?

Who's that Pokémon?

POKEDEX Castform, the Weather Pokémon.

Castform is able to transform it's appearance

depending on the weather.

It uses the power of nature to transform

in order to protect it's small body.

[EXERTION]

I think it wants us to follow it.

PIKACHU [AGREEMENT]

Wait, who knows where Castform's going.

We could get lost.

Anywhere is better than stayin' out here.

You're right, we'll freeze.

Yeah, okay. Lead the way, Castform.

[AGREEMENT]

ASH/MAX/BROCK/MAY Ah!

Hey, Where did all the bad weather go?

- This doesn't make any sense. - Ah, look.

[SURPRISED]

[EXERTION]

Wow, Castform just transformed.

That's so cool, just like Dextette said it would.

[EXCITED]

BART Hello, there.

ASH/MAY/MAX/BROCK/ Huh!

We're sorry.

The crazy weather changes

were caused by our research, sorry.

- What? - Your research?

You're saying that you can actually change the weather?

Wow, your genius is equaled only by your incredible beauty.

- What? - Sorry about that.

- Max, this is your cue. - Okay. Here we go again.

MAY/MAX/ASH Huh?

[Brock groans]

- What's this? - Hey, Brock, are you okay?

Is he sick or something?

Hm, I'm not sure what's happening.

Something seems to have thrown my charisma out of wack.

Hi, uh, my name is Bart and I'm the manager

of the Weather Institute in this town.

- And this is Milli. - Hi, my name's Ash.

And you've met Brock. And this is May and Max.

And of course, my buddy, Pikachu.

If you'd like to come to the institute

for a little rest you're more than welcome.

ASH/MAY/MAX That's great, thank you.

[gasping]

Leave it to the Twerps to drag us

through three seasons in one day.

Had I known I would have dressed more appropriately.

I don't know, this snow feels like a warm, cozy blankie.

Wake up! Are you nuts?

JAMES One snore in this snowstorm and that'll be all you get.

JAMES 'No, all you get.'

JAMES 'All you get.'

Well, here we are kids.

'Feast your eyes on the Weather Institute.'

MILLI 'That giant dish up on the roof is what we use'

for our weather controlling.

MAY I can't believe you have a machine

that can actually change the weather.

MILLI We sure do.

Milli, if you don't mind

I'd like for you show them around the institute, okay?

Yes, I'd love to. So, follow me, everyone.

ASH/MAY/MAX/BROCK Okay.

I know she hasn't been employed here for very long

but I'm impressed with her work.

I'm certain she'll make a great researcher some day.

Me too.

MILLI The computers here contain weather data

that's collected from every corner of our planet.

At the moment, we're concentrating

on natural disasters around the world.

That sounds really cool.

JESSIE 'So, that satellite dish messes around'

'with the weather, huh?'

That's what we can thank

for our summertime blast of winter.

That blizzard was pretty brutal but it gives me an idea.

Let me guess, Meowth, steal it?

The Boss would love a weather-making gizmo.

TEAM ROCKET The forecast is calling for a big promotion.

And lots of money in the bank.

[AFFIRMATIVE]

Wait a sec, how're we gonna lug that load from here to there?

The same way we always do in situations like this. Improvise!

Only this time, we'll make sure it actually works.

This will finally be our day in the sun.

- Hopefully, without the snow. - Hm-hm.

TEAM ROCKET Huh.

MILLI 'And this is the central computer room.'

MAY 'It's huge!'

MAX I've never seen such cool equipment

in my whole life.

This place is state-of-the-art.

No doubt about that.

- Sure is. - Hey, look.

MAY/MAX/BROCK/MILLI Huh!

ASH 'It's a helicopter.'

AQUA A 'We have reached the targeted area.'

If everyone's ready, we'll begin the first stage

of this mission, now.

WORKER A/WORKER B/WORKER C Huh?

- Hm. - Hm.

Hold on! Who are you?

[groans]

Okay, Crawdaunt, let's go.

[APPEARING]

[EXERTION]

I suggest you remain very still.

It would be a shame to have to hurt you.

- If it isn't Team Aqua.. - What are they doing here?

At this point we should probably do

somethin' we know we're good at.

TEAM ROCKET Let's hide.

TEAM ROCKET Hm? Aah!

AQUA D Alright, so who are you?

Prepare for trouble, you're in for a treat.

Make it double, it's high time that we meet.

There's a time for self promotion

but this ain't it.

Oh, come on, Meowth, where's your sense of drama?

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, fight, and fight.

Meowth, that's right.

[AFFIRMATIVE]

You wanted drama, you got it.

JESSIE As members of Team Rocket we have our rights.

JAMES Your injustices will not go unpunished.

JESSIE 'You're going to regret this'

'just as soon as we break free.'

So, Jessie, do you got a plan for us?

I do. Push all the air out of your body.

Okay, well.

Here goes.

[exhales]

It worked.

Okay, now our turn.

[exhaling]

JESSIE/MEOWTH Yeah!

Alright, prepare yourselves

for some serious regretting.

JAMES 'And you can forget about that weather machine'

'it's been spoken for.'

MEOWTH 'Yeah, it's speakin' Team Rocket.'

All of their incessant babbling

is starting to give me a headache.

Maybe, a little change in the weather will help

quiet them down once and for all.

- Switch on the machine. - Right.

[thunder rumbling]

[gasps] Oh, no.

Look out, everyone.

- Hit the dirt. - Right.

- Huh? - Strange time for a nap.

[rumbling]

[screams]

TEAM ROCKET Aah, good night.

MAY 'It's Team Rocket.'

And Team Aqua's there too.

Team who? Who are they all?

They're a bunch of crooks that use Pokémon to do evil things.

But why would they all come to the institute?

Must be something here they both want.

I bet you they both wanna try and get that

'weather control machine.'

Have you managed to locate the data yet?

Not quite, I'm in the main computer and searching now.

Hurry it up, we need to locate that information

on ancient Pokémon and there's not much time.

But why ancient Pokémon?

We don't have data on ancient Pokémon, except for..

You're trying to extract our data

on Groudon and Kyogre, right?

We're getting a little nosey, aren't we?

- 'Shelly..' - Hm?

Apparently, we need a special access card

to get the information out of the main computer.

So, you're the manager, are you not?

Give me the access card.

Quick.

Take this card to Milli.

Ah, go.

[AGREEMENT]

Alright, Crawdaunt. Catch that Castform.

[EXERTION]

Castform, use Weather Ball, now.

[WEATHER BALL MOVE]

[PAINED]

[PAINED]

Use Weather Ball again, go.

[WEATHER BALL MOVE]

[EXERTION]

You call yourself a manager?

Of course, you can't inflict any damage on Crawdaunt

with your feeble barrage of those Water and Fire attacks.

Castform, get to Milli, quick.

[AGREEMENT]

It went into the air duct.

Split into two groups and find that Castform.

And bring me that card.

We just can't let Team Aqua get a hold

of that ancient Pokémon data.

We won't, we'll save Castform and get the card back.

Yes.

Now, let's get going then.

[AGREEMENT]

Ash, where are you gonna go?

[screams]

All of the air ducts are connected

to the room we're in now.

That means Castform will probably come right to us.

Huh?

[EXERTION]

It's Team Aqua.

They must be looking for Castform.

It doesn't appear to be in this room.

You're right. Let's go look in the next room.

Hold it, did you hear that?

- Castform. - Go on, Crawdaunt.

[EXERTION]

CASTFORM [PANIC]

- Hey, Castform. - Quick, come this way.

[EXERTION]

[SURPRISED]

[HAPPY]

The access card, safe and sound.

- No, you don't. - Come on.

You guys should go now.

Pikachu and I can take care of those two creeps.

- Okay, be careful. - Let's go.

Now, give them your best Thunderbolt, Pikachu.

[AGREEMENT]

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[PAINED]

[screams]

Great job, Pikachu.

[HAPPY]

Okay, now we gotta go deal with the rest of 'em.

[DETERMINED]

- Are they gone? - I don't know.

But I don't wanna go down and find out.

Well, I know one thing we should try and do.

Yes, I think I should take the data

off the computer and hide it.

Huh! Oh!

Max, what's wrong?

Team Aqua's right around the corner.

MAY/BROCK/MILLI Huh!

Captain, there's no sign of Castform here

in the main computer room.

Well, our sensors show that Castform is still inside

so continue on with your search

and proceed to the next block right away.

AQUA E Yes, Captain.

Whatever Ash did, helped.

They don't have a clue that Castform is with us.

Even so, we still aren't able

to get into the main computer room.

Hey, I've got an idea.

- Huh! - Ditto?

[AFFIRMATIVE]

- It's Castform. - Stop.

Come on.

- Okay. - Right.

[EXERTION]

- Wait! - Wait!

Castform, over here.

[EXERTION]

Gotcha.

[HAPPY]

AQUA E Stop.

There's the data.

Now, I'll transfer it onto this floppy.

BROCK 'So, that contains information'

about ancient Pokémon?

MILLI Yes.

MAX Which of the ancient Pok mon

is it all about?

It's all about Groudon and Kyogre.

So, what about Groudon and Kyogre?

Well, May, both of them are mythological Pokémon.

Supposedly, while Groudon lifted the ground

and expanded the land

Kyogre covered the land with torrential rains

and tidal waves, expanding the sea.

That's amazing.

But I don't understand why Team Aqua wants to get

that data so badly.

The transfer is complete.

Now, I just need to delete the original data

from the hard drive.

All clear, I don't see anyone out here.

[panting]

[SCARED]

[SURPRISED]

- Hey, it's Ash. - Hey.

Hold on, you guys didn't say anything about two Castform.

[CONFUSED]

One Castform is actually my Ditto.

Huh.

[EXCITED]

Okay, I thought I was seeing double.

[RELIEVED]

But, Ash, we were using Ditto

to be a decoy for Team Aqua.

Not anymore.

Why did you have to bring it back?

Hey, how'd I know Castform was a fake?

AQUA E 'There they are.'

- Give us Castform right now. - No way that's gonna to happen.

Torkoal, let's go.

[APPEARING]

[groans]

- Great, Torkoal. - Now that's smoking 'em out.

I think we should get out of here, quick.

[gasping]

Alright, let Bart go right now.

Bart's not going anywhere

unless you let us have that access card first.

It seems you don't have much of a choice.

- No deal. - What a shame. Hm.

I guess you don't care what happens to your friends, do you?

Milli, don't worry about us. We'll be okay.

Oh, I wouldn't be too sure of that if I were you.

- Whoa, look at that. - Those are some dark clouds.

So, where's the silver lining?

[screams]

TEAM ROCKET Not again.

Hey, I thought you couldn't get struck by lightning twice.

Yes, well, aren't we just the lucky ones?

Twice is nice but isn't it the third time

that's really the charm?

[AFFIRMATIVE]

TEAM ROCKET Here's to leading a charmed life.

[AFFIRMATIVE]

Usually, I know when Team Rocket's around

but not this time.

[SURPRISED]

You should believe me

when I tell you that was nothing.

Nothing like what you're going to experience the next time.

'Maybe, I should freeze you all with a blizzard.'

'Or, perhaps a few hundred tornados will change your mind?'

No, don't even listen to her phony threats, Milli.

You've got to hold on to that access card.

- Hm. - Time's up.

So what have you decided?

[grunts]

Milli, you've got to get out of here right now.

Bart, I can't just leave.

SHELLY I'm assuming you've decided not to give me the card.

Now, you must live with your decision.

- You know what to do. - Yes, Ma'am.

- 'Wait!' - Hm.

You can have this blasted card.

No, you can't give it to 'em.

I can't just abandon Bart and the others like this.

Ah, but, Milli..

Excellent. A sensible choice.

Milli, I can't believe you'd do that for us.

Hm? Captain.

The ancient Pokémon data is not here.

Are you sure about that?

AQUA A 'I can see the ancient Pokémon folder'

'but when I open it, it's empty.'

Do you think this is all a game?

Yeah, it looks like we won.

No, it looks like I did.

- Huh? - Milli?

Huh?

Wh-What on Earth are you doing, Milli.

Change of plans, I've decided I'd like to keep

the ancient Pokémon data myself.

BART 'You're not making any sense, Milli.'

'Come down before you get hurt!'

Well, this whole "Milli" disguise

worked out even better than I thought it would.

But you know what they say, "Looks can be deceiving," hah.

[gasping]

I had heard of a certain member of Team Magma named Brody

who's also known as "The Man With A Thousand Faces."

- So, that member must be you. - That's Milli?

Brody was only pretending to be Milli the whole time.

Then that explains why you didn't go ga-ga over her.

Team Aqua, I've got to admit I owe you one.

You made my job much easier this time around.

- Thanks a bunch. - Not so fast.

Quick, grab that disk from Brody, Crawdaunt.

[AGREEMENT]

Time to transform into Crawdaunt, Ditto.

[EXERTION]

[APPEARING]

Bubble Beam.

[BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

Use your Bubble Beam as well, go.

[BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

Combusken, go get that disk back from Brody.

[APPEARING]

Now, Combusken, Sky Uppercut.

[SKY UPPERCUT MOVE]

Crabhammer, go.

[CRABHAMMER MOVE]

[PAINED]

Combusken, no.

[EXERTION]

Ditto, excellent job.

[PLEASED]

It seems my work here is done.

[laughs]

I hope Team Magma appreciates my letting them win.

But I'll look forward to beating them the next time.

Alright, pull out, now.

I can't believe I thought

Milli was not only a great employee

but even a good friend as well.

- 'Excuse me.' - Huh?

I'm looking for the Weather Institute?

My name is Milli, and I'm here to start my new job today.

- Aah! - Milli?

Hey, Brody, what do you want?

- Ash, hold on. - Huh?

Milli, in just one instant you have changed my forecast

from cloudy gray and lonely to sunny, bright and happy.

And now, filled with love for you.

- Huh? - Storm cloud approaching.

- Let's go. - Ah, Milli.

Looks like Brock's back to being his old self again.

- So, she's the real Milli. - You're right.

[AGREEMENT]

Welcome to the institute, Milli.

Thank you. Nice to be here.

Now, you just tell me what you want done, and I'm on it.

I hope you're good with computers.

MILLI 'Let's see now, you want me to transfer'

some ancient Pokémon data onto the main computer.

- Do I have that correct? - Yes.

But I'm afraid you might get a little overwhelmed.

Alright, and here we are.

[gasping]

ASH 'All that?'

MAY There's so much stuff in there.

- Is it too much? - Not at all.

I really love doing this sort of work.

- Wow, do you mean it? - It's my pleasure.

Alright, and I'm happy to give you some help.

I have a really good feeling about those two.

Looks like there's gonna be sunny days ahead for Bart.

But this poor Pokémon breeder needs an umbrella.

Come on, cheer up.

I'm sensing clear skies ahead for you too.

- And all of us. - That's right.

I know there's a badge out there that's waitin' to be won.

And I'm the Trainer who's gonna win it.

[EXCITED]

NARRATOR Now, the real Milli is happily employed

at the Weather Institute, and our heroes are on their way

to the Fortree City Gym.

So, it appears that everyone is finally enjoying

happy times and sunny skies.

Almost everyone.

- Oh, whoopsie. - Oh, I'm so c-cold.

If this is Mother Nature, she's not being very motherly.

And if it's Old Man Winter, he's not being very fatherly.

Hey, youse guys.

I'll tell you what is apparent.

We're gonna freeze.
