16x20 - Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!

[bunniefuu]

COLRESS 'Target confirmed.'


I'm locked on.Firing now.


[SURPRISED]/[SINISTER]


[SINISTER]


COLRESS Increasing output level.


[SOLARBEAM MOVE]


[grunts]


[chuckles]


[TERRIFIED]/[SCARED]


COLRESS The numbers are lower


than I hoped they'd be, but they're acceptable.


[SINISTER]


[CONFUSED]


[RELIEVED]


Mr. Ghetsis, I trust you were able to witness that.


Hmm.


Using electromagnetic waves to create stress


in the test subject we increase its power


to maximum potential.


COLRESS 'Previously, the EM waves


emitted by this device'


affected any nearby Pokémon.


Now, we can target specific test subjects


thanks to numerous upgrades.


I have a theory.


Pokémon brain waves are divided into four groups.


They are alpha waves, beta waves


gamma waves and delta waves.


'The key to the success of this device'


'is that it suppresses the alpha waves'


'while amplifying the gamma and delta waves.'


Colress, please skip the details and get to the point.


Huh? Alright.


I've succeeded in targeting a specific Pokémon


and maximizing its power.


And they're under our control at all times.


Then I suggest you let Aldith take a test run.


Yes, sir! As you wish.


♪ It's the next chapter the ultimate goal ♪


♪ Ready for battle brave and bold ♪


♪ I know we're gonna make it


♪ We will find a way


♪ Oh oh we've come so far


♪ We fought so hard to get where we are ♪


♪ Oh oh we belong together


♪ It's always you and me Pokémon ♪♪


ASH "Team Plasmas


Pokémon Manipulation!"


NARRATOR Our heroes continue


their journey to the White Ruins


which may contain important information


linked to Reshiram.


Once we get to the next town


we'll be parting ways, wont we, N?


That's right. I'm on my way to a place located


a little bit beyond Driftveil City.


Wow! Guess that means goodbye.


[SAD]


And you are all heading to the White Ruins, is that right?


You bet! [DETERMINED]


I wish we could all travel together some more.


Don't you think so? [AFFIRMATIVE]


It's not possible.


'N has a lot of things to do too.'


Yeah, you're right.


Then I suggest a farewell dinner party


once we get into town.


I'll prepare us a culinary feast you'll never forget.


That's what I'm talking about.


[EXCITED] Sounds wonderful.


Your cuisine is always as delectable as cooking gets.


And I'm gonna eat till I pop.


[ENTHUSIASTIC]


The various teams are ready to give their reports, sir.


- Hmm. - Lord Ghetsis!


I regret that we haven't as yet been able to locate N.


You must find him.


The sooner were able to get our hands on him, the better.


Sir!


Lord Ghetsis, unfortunately


we haven't been able to locate


our target for Project G.


We are now expanding our search to include Area C- .


GHETSIS 'Very well.'


Our experiments for Project F in Eastern Unova


are now under way.


TEAM PLASMA SQUAD LEADER C 'We are currently


gathering data, Lord Ghetsis.'


I look forward to good news.


Yes, sir! You can count on us!


Reporting from the White Ruins.


TEAM PLASMA SQUAD LEADER D 'The excavation team


has yet to find anything.'


Look! The discovery of the century.


You've done it, Professor Juniper.


Hasn't happened yet.


- Huh! Uh! - Huh! Uh!


Back to work.


My guess is it's going to be a while before anything happens.


Keep an eye on the researchers.



- Don't miss a thing. - Yes, sir.


The minute Professor Juniper finds what were after


you will report back to me right away.


TEAM PLASMA SQUAD LEADER D 'Yes, Lord Ghetsis.'


Hmm.


I'm sorry, but this bridge is closed off.


Why is that Officer Jenny?


I'm afraid a Haxorus on a rampage


is currently terrorizing the city.


A Haxorus?


OFFICER JENNY 'Correct!'


Haxorus is determined to destroy


everything in its path.


The reason for its anger is currently unknown.


Anger?


There's got to be a reason why Haxorus is acting so badly.


There's no such thing as a bad Dragon-type.


I don't think any Pokémon would attack without a reason.


We need to find out why!


Then, I'm sure Haxorus will calm down right away.


So far, we don't have any idea.


Either way, I can't let you cross this bridge.


Hmm.


Happens every time we follow Pikachu.


Stuff gets really interesting.


And out of control Haxorus is curious.


There's something familiar about this.


A plethora of Pokémon


did lose their grip in Floccesy Town, didn't they?


Well, if these two incidents are connected


then it's almost certain they're behind it all.


Shall we investigate?


Great.


OFFICER JENNY I told you, you can't cross.


Now move back.


But I'm worried about that Haxorus.


[WORRIED]


Iris, this way. [panting]


Wait! The entire city is sealed off.


So are the bridges.


- Huh? - Huh?


We've got to find another way to get into the city.


We've got to calm Haxorus down.


Right.


It seems all we can do is swim.


Well, if that's the only way, then let's go!


- Uh? - Huh?


Huh?


Or we use that.


ASH/CILAN/IRIS Right!


Ah! We've sprung a leak!


- Ash, row faster. - Ugh!


- I'm doing my best! - Shh! Quietly!


[grunts]


[panting]


- Huh? - I don't see a thing.


[gasping]


Huh? I can't believe it.


It's Looker!


What are you all doing here?


We heard Haxorus is on a rampage.


We had to do something.


- Huh? - Oh! This is N.


We're traveling with him.


And N, this is Looker


a member of the International Police.


It's a pleasure!


[thinking] So this is the young man


Team Plasma is looking for.


- Anyway, let's hurry. - Huh?


Not a hint of humanity anywhere.


Alright. Where is this rampaging Haxorus?


[gasps] Follow that boom!


HAZORUS [ATTACK]


[SUSPICIOUS]/[HYPER BEAM MOVE]


I think our rampage is just ahead.


[SINISTER]


Uh! Look over there.


JAMES 'It's them.'


They were at the observatory near Floccesy Town.


I think they're Team Plasma.


It's no coincidence.


They're causing Haxorus's rampage.


So, Meowth, please put us down


where we wont be detected.


- !


We conquered this entire city with just one Haxorus.


Very impressive, Dr. Colress.


Let's report this to Lord Ghetsis immediately.


Well, I doubt this will be nearly enough


to satisfy Mr. Ghetsis.


- 'Why not?' - A hunch.


A scientifically educated guess.


I'm quite certain he's after something


much bigger than this city.


What do you mean?


I said, it's merely a hunch and nothing more.


I think that soon I may need to come up


with a device that's capable of controlling


a much more powerful Pokémon than even Haxorus.



[laughs]


I can hardly wait.


[chuckles]


Huh?


[gasping] [HYPER BEAM MOVE]


- Oh, no! - Poor Haxorus.


What could have happened to it?


POKEDEX Haxorus, the Axe Jaw Pokémon


and Axew's final evolved form.


Haxorus is normally considered friendly.


It's body is covered with a tough armor


and its tusks cannot be broken.


[ALERT] [gasping]


[SHADOW CLAW MOVE]


[ALARMED]


We need to stop this now. Okay, Pikachu?


[DETERMINED]


I'll do this! It is a Dragon-type.


Iris, wait.


Haxorus? What's making you act this way?


[CONCERNED]


[SHADOW CLAW MOVE]


- Ah! - Look out!


[grunts]


- Iris! You okay? - I think.


[grunts]


[ANGRY]


I don't get this at all. My friend!


Why don't I understand you?


Of course! It's the presence of EM waves.


IRIS EM waves?


Maybe someone's controlling Haxorus's mind.


You mean, someone like Team Plasma?


[grunts]


Then I'll use this.


[grunts]


[whirring]


No use. The EM waves are too strong.


There's not enough power.


Hold on. Are you saying you can't stop Haxorus?


Hmm.


Hmm.


They must control Pokémon with that thing.


So why don't we grab that thing


and lighten their load a wee bit?


Dig it, then all the Pokémon


in this great big world of ours


will belong to Team Rocket.


True! [HIDDEN POWER MOVE]


[screaming] Haxorus, stop, please.


Cut it out! You're tearing everything apart!


[HYPER BEAM MOVE]


[screams]


[grunts]


- You okay? - Yeah.


- Who are you? - I'm Haxorus's Trainer.


It's never acted any way but calm and friendly before


but now it's going completely out of control.


And it won't listen to anything that I say.


[ANGRY]


What about using its Poké Ball?


It's no use! It doesn't matter what I tell Haxorus.


- It wont listen. - What?


It's true. I tried communicating with Haxorus.


But it wouldn't respond.


He's actually able to hear the inner voices of Pokémon.


Haxorus, what has gotten into you?


[HYPER BEAM MOVE]


ASH/CILAN/IRIS Who's that Pokémon?


ASH/CILAN/IRIS It's Deerling!


DEERLING [FRIENDLY]


[HYPER BEAM MOVE]


Oh, no, if Haxorus continues its attacks repeatedly


it's strength will be gone.


- No way! - Don't worry!


We'll handle this. You ready, Pikachu?


[DETERMINED]


Use Thunderbolt!


[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]


[PAINED]/[EXERTION]


- What? - Alright then.


Dragonite, let's go!


[CONFIDENT]


Use Ice Beam!


[ICE BEAM MOVE]/[PAINED]


- Did it work? - Haxorus, no.


[EXERTION]


[gasping]


It's those meddling kids again.


And N's with them.


Dragonite, eh? Hmm, interesting.


I'm now locked on target. And fire!


[SURPRISED] [CONFUSED]


[SINISTER]


Alright, Dragonite, listen to my voice.


You must use every bit of power you can muster up


and go on a violent rampage.


[AGGRESSIVE]/[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]


[SHOCKED]


[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]/[ALARMED]



[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]


Dragonite, what's wrong with you?


It can't be! That's like Haxorus.


[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]


[ICE BEAM MOVE]


Dragonite, stop!


[URGENT]


[DRAGON RUSH MOVE]


[screams]


That's just what happened to my Haxorus.


It suddenly turned violent.


Dragonite! You've got to return, right now.


[EXERTION]/[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]


[grunts]


Charizard, come out and give me a hand!


[CONFIDENT]


Use Slash!


[SLASH MOVE]/[EXERTION]


[ICE BEAM MOVE]


Dodge it!


[HYPER BEAM MOVE]


You leave Haxorus to me. Crustle, let's go.


[CONFIDENT] Use X-Scissor.


[X-SCISSOR MOVE]/[EXERTION]


[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]


What's gotten into Dragonite?


[CONCERNED]


- We need to secure N. - Right.


Okay, Charizard! Flamethrower, let's go!


[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]/[THUNDER PUNCH MOVE]


Crustle, use Rock Wrecker.


[ROCK WRECKER MOVE]/ [HIDDEN POWER MOVE]


Huh?


ASH What's going on?


It's you guys!


N, Lord Ghetsis is looking for you.


I don't care. Leave me alone.


Hold on. It sounds like they know each other.


But how could that be?


What are you doing here?


You have been ordered to present yourself


to Lord Ghetsis.


I'm through listening to any of you.


Now you tell me what you've done


to these Pokémon.


- Oh! - Why, we're helping them.


We've amplified their power


so they can attack at % capacity.


You what?


Meaning, we've simply drawn out


the untapped power they already had.


Under normal circumstances, this latent power is unused


so bringing it to the forefront has given them a great gift.


COLRESS 'Well, you do see a difference'


'in Haxorus and Dragonite, don't you?'


What have you done to make them act like that?


I'll leave that to your imagination.


You shouldn't artificially manipulate Pokémon.


No! I wont allow it.


But you've seen it for yourself.


Of course, I mean their incredible power.


- None of that power is real. - But it is.


Again, all I've done is bring out the power


that already lies within them.


And all that power is what makes them


what they truly are.


A Pokémon control machine.


Let's control it for ourselves.


You'd better stop it, now!


And then undo what you've done to both of them.


[ADAMANT]


- Hmm! Huh? - Huh?


[machine beeping]


What are they doing? Get them out of there.


- Right! - Right!


[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]/ [HYPER BEAM MOVE]


Dragonite, stop it!


- Get off of there! - You get off my back!


Charizard, Dragon Tail!


[DRAGON TAIL MOVE]/[EXERTION]


Crustle, use Rock Wrecker!


[ROCK WRECKER] [EXERTION]


Ugh! [grunts]


Who are you? Tell me!


Prepare for trouble, you know the drill.


And make it double, you'll get your fill.


To protect the world from devastation.


To unite the people within our nation.


To denounce the evils of truth and love.


To extend our reach to the stars above.


It's Jessie!


And James!


Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light.


Surrender now or prepare to fight.


Meowth, that's right!


Woobat, go get them.


Go, Amoonguss!


[EAGER]


Liepard, stop them!


[CONFIDENT] Amoonguss, use Hidden Power.



Woobat, Air Slash!


[HIDDEN POWER MOVE] /[AIR SLASH MOVE]


Use Shadow Ball! [SHADOW BALL MOVE]


Fury Swipes!


[screaming] Stop!


Huh! It seems to be coming from inside.


[HYPER BEAM MOVE]/[EXERTION]


[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]/[EXERTION]


Both Haxorus and Dragonite


will be severely injured if this keeps up.


- Uh! - What do we do?


Stop it! Stop!


For your own good, stop attacking.


[HYPER BEAM MOVE]/[FLAMETHROWER


- Ugh! - Ah!


- Oh! - Huh?


ASH/CILAN/IRIS N, no!


Use Shadow Ball!


[SHADOW BALL MOVE]/[EXERTION]


[grunts]


[explosions]


[RESTORED]


[EXHAUSTED]


Are they back to normal?


Now what's happening?


Hmm, it appears the impact shut down the system.


Ugh! What? Oh!


Then we have no choice but to retreat.


Liepard, return!


- Dragonite, return! - Haxorus, return!


[whirring]


I've now proven that my device


can be used effectively in the field.


LORD GHETSIS 'And that's good enough for me.'


Lord Ghetsis, sir, we found N!


Good work. Secure him with force if necessary.


- But make sure he's ours. - 'Yes, sir.'


- N! - Is he alright?


- Oh, no! N! - 'N!'


They're gone! Where did they go?


So what's with this fog?


Who cares? We came to catch Pikachu!


True, but the fogs cramping our style.


Man, this sure came out of no where.


- Hmm? - Huh?


Huh!


[gasping]


Hey! Where are all of you going with N?


Let's follow them.


[DETERMINED]


Those voices! I know Twerp tone when I hear it.


- Let's tail them. - Right!


Yeah!


[panting]


[screams]


JESSIE What's going on?


MEOWTH A real cliffhanger!


Ah! Huh?


- Huh? - Huh?


So where are we now?


NARRATOR Following the violent outbursts


of Haxorus and Dragonite under the control


of Team Plasma N has been severely injured


while trying to stop them.


But who are these women


who have appeared out of the fog and taken N?


What are they doing with him?


The answers to come, as the journey continues.
