23x06 - Working My Way Back to Mew!

[bunniefuu]

-[Goh] You were great back there! -Scor?

So I want the first Pokémon I catch to be you!

Scorbun!

[narrator] Ash and Goh went to the Galar region,

where Goh caught his first Pokémon, Scorbunny!

[Goh] Professor Cerise!

Look! Why does my phone screen look like this now?

Ah, well, your Pokédex possesses two distinct functions.

Here. The first tells you a Pokémon's type and biological data.

The second function gives you an overview of all the Pokémon you've caught.

-All the Pokémon I've caught? -Correct.

And with each new Pokémon you catch, your Rotom Phone updates the index.

Huh? I didn't know it could do that!

[Goh] Which means I've got my very own state-of-the-art Goh-kédex!

How cool is that?!

See?

[coos]

This makes me wanna go out and catch more Pokémon

until I fill up every spot!

There's no time like right now!

-Let's catch some Pokémon! -Pika, Pika!

-Yeah, let's go! -Mebun!

[Ash] "Working My Way Back to Mew!"

[birds chirping]

This way! This way!

[both gasp]

[Ash] Wow, looks like there are gonna be a ton of Pokémon here!

And I've brought tons of Poké ba*ls along so we can catch 'em all!

Awesome!

Scorbunny, let me know if you see a Pokémon, okay?

-Scor! -Pi?

-Pika? Pika! -What's going on, Pikachu?

-Come on! -Right!

[panting]

-Pi? -[coos]

-Hmm? -Huh?

[Ash] It's a Pidgey!

-All right! I'll catch it! -Huh?

-Poké Ball, go! -Not-- Not right away!

-[gasps] -[trills]

[trilling]

-[all screaming] -Pika!

[all groaning]

-Why'd it have to use Gust? -You gotta be careful, Goh.

If it doesn't wanna be caught, it'll fight back.

Scorbunny, let's go find our next Pokémon!

Scor!

-[grunts] Ah! -[all] Huh?

-[Goh] It's a Pidgeotto! -Bun!

[gasps] Wait up, Scorbunny!

Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor!

Pidgeo!

[screeches]

-Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor! -[panting]

-[Scorbunny whines] -[Goh sighs]

Scorbunny, you've got good ears, don't you?

Scorbun.

But if you make a big scene, the Pokémon will run away, all right?

So, no matter what, we've gotta stay calm.

[coos] Scor!

-Pika, Pika? -Diglett!

It's Diglett!

-This is my chance! -Scordigger!

-Scorbunny, what did I just tell you?! -Dig!

[grunts] There you are!

-Dig! -Scor!

Ah, come on, listen to me!

-Diglett! -[Goh] Scorbunny!

-Scor! -Diglett!

-Scor! -Diglett!

Scorbunny, come back! Come on!

-Diglett! Diglett! Diglett! -Goh's getting messed with, for sure.

Pika, Pika.

[screams]

[Ash] Whoa, this time it's a Dugtrio!

-Trio, trio, trio. -[Goh grunting]

-Mebun! -[panting]

-[grunting continues] -Trio.

Goh, you've gotta jump off!

But this is the best place to catch it! [grunts]

-Scor! -Trio!

-Trio! -[Goh screams]

[Ash panting] Are you okay?

What can I say? I guess this just isn't my day, you know, Ash?

Scorbunny, even if you hear a Pokémon, don't charge in.

Scorbunny.

[gasps] Bun!

[pants] Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor.

Scorbunbun!

-[Ash] Hmm? -[chittering]

-[Goh] It's a Caterpie. -Scorbun!

[Goh grunts]

Calm, cool, and collected.

Make any noise as you get close and it'll run away!

[chittering]

Go, Poké Ball! [grunts]

-All right, I caught it! -Scorbun!

[woman's voice] Caterpie has been registered to your Pokédex!

[Goh laughs]

Awesome, Goh!

Thanks!

-And it's all because of you! -[cooing]

Hey, what other Pokémon can I catch around here?

These species are known to inhabit the area.

[Ash] Looks like mostly Bug types, huh?

[Goh] Then my first job is to catch Caterpie's full evolution chain!

-You mean Metapod and Butterfree? -Uh-huh!

-First, we'll go and catch a Metapod. -Scorbun!

What do you think, buddy? Wanna help Goh and Scorbunny?

Pika, Pika!

Pika.

Bun.

-Ah. -Pikachu.

-Mm. -Bun?

Just when you do some serious searching, nothing!

-Yeah. -Ny?

-Huh? Up in the trees maybe? -Pika?

-[gasps] -[both giggle]

[both] Ready? Go!

-[groaning] -Scorbun?

-Scorbun! -Pika!

-Mebun! -Pikachu!

[grunts] That hurt!

A Metapod!

-[grunts] Pika. -Scor.

And it's all mine!

[woman's voice] Nice!

-Mm. -[Ash grunts]

Metapod has been registered to your Pokédex!

-All right! I just caught a Metapod! -Scorbun!

-[coos] -[both] Huh?

[Ash] It's a Butterfree!

[Goh] No, that's a Venomoth!

-[cooing] -[pants]

In that case, I'll catch you, too!

-[Goh grunts] -[coos]

Venomoth has been registered to your Pokédex!

All right!

-Scor! Scor! Scorbun! -Huh? A Paras!

-Pika! -Right next to a Parasect!

Those Pokémon are controlled by their mushrooms, right?

No time for all that! Now for a double Poké Ball throw!

Go!

Paras and Parasect have been registered to your Pokédex!

-All right! Double catches! [gasps] Ah! -Free!

-There's a Butterfree now! -Pikachu!

-Butterfree, wait up! -Scorbun!

Free!

Free, Free!

Free!

Go, Poké Ball!

-[screams] -Goh!

Right!

[grunting]

[rustling]

Pika?

Something's going on down here, too.

[grunts] Ash, hurry and climb up!

-I think you should go on ahead! -Uh, right!

Free! Free!

Just stay right where you are. [gasps, screams]

-[grunts] Kick it, Scorbunny! -Free!

Mebun!

Scorbun!

Perfect!

Butterfree has been registered to your Pokédex!

I caught a Butterfree, too!

Wow, we've got Caterpie and the whole evolution chain!

Thank you, Scorbunny, yeah!

-Scorbunny! -[laughs]

-[snarls] -[Ash and Pikachu screaming]

Whoa! Hey, what's that?

Pinsir, the Stag Beetle Pokémon. A Bug type.

When Pinsir's horns clamp onto an opponent,

they won't release until it's defeated.

[snarls]

[whimpering]

-Use Quick Attack! -Kachu!

-[grunts] -[grunts]

-Pi. -Good going, Pikachu!

[growls]

Pikachu!

Pika.

Ash, Pikachu! You all right?! [pants]

-Mebun! -Yeah!

-[gasps] -[grunts]

-[grunts] -[yelps]

[screaming]

-[screaming continues] -Huh?

Uh?

Pinsir has been registered to your Pokédex!

-No way! -Nice catch, Goh!

Thanks! No prob.

[Goh] I've gotta say,

-it's really fun catching lots of Pokémon! -Scorbun!

Yeah, I'm starting to wanna catch a Pokémon, too!

So this is what being a Pokémon Trainer's all about!

[Scorbunny coos]

[both coo]

-Pika! -It looks like Scorbunny found something!

Pikachu did, too.

-I'm gonna go check it out. -Me, too!

[woman's voice] Scyther, the Mantis Pokémon.

A Bug and Flying type.

The twin scythes on Scyther's forearms can slice through logs in one stroke.

A Flying-type Pokémon with two sharp scythes.

Let's go!

Scythe!

Ooh! [screams]

Scyther! Scythe!

[both screaming]

[woman's voice] Who's that Pokémon?

-Pika? -[Scyther] Scyther!

Pika, Pika!

Ow, ow, ow.

-Hey, Scorbunny, are you all right? -Scor.

[grunts] Where's Scyther?

Guess it ran away, huh?

Man, it was strong!

Well, the next time we meet, I'm gonna catch it!

Scorbunny.

Let's see. What other Pokémon can I catch?

These species are known to inhabit the area.

Scorbun!

Oh, it's a Weedle! Mine!

Weedle has been registered to your Pokédex!

Yes! We'll catch this whole evolution chain, too!

Scorbun!

[grunts]

Weedle evolves into Kakuna, the Cocoon Pokémon,

and it may be somewhere right around here.

[grunts]

Wow! And there are a whole lot of them, too!

But the only one I'm interested in is... you!

Kakuna has been registered to your Pokédex!

All right. Awesome!

And since Beedrill is Kakuna's evolution, it must be nearby, right?

[both gasp]

-[yelps, screams] -[Scorbun!

Wonder how many Pokémon they've caught.

Ash!

-Hmm? -Scor! Scorbun!

-Hey, I'm over here! -[panting]

-Run away! -Huh?

Pika!

-[screams] -Pikachu!

-[all screaming] -Pika!

They're catching up with us, Ash!

Pikachu, use Electroweb!

Pika, Pika, Pika, Pikachu! [exclaims]

[grunts] That looks like the strongest one, so go!

Beedrill has been registered to your Pokédex!

-All right! -You even caught a Beedrill!

That's awesome!

And that means I've now caught Weedle's full evolution chain!

You already caught them all?

Take a look at all the Pokémon that I've caught!

[Ash chuckles] Aw, yeah!

[Goh] Wait. Two more and I'll have a complete set

-of Bug-type Pokémon from Kanto! -Just Scyther and Venonat!

Scyther managed to get away from me once before,

but I'll get another chance.

Venonat sleeps during the day,

so one might be hiding in a hollowed-out tree.

There!

[grunts]

[screams]

[coos]

Poké Ball, go!

[coos]

-[grumbling] -Battle it to weaken it!

This is a lot quicker!

-Scorbun! -Scorbunny?!

-Ny! -Does that mean you wanna have a battle?

Scorbun!

Okay, use Quick Attack!

Scor!

-Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor, Scorbun! -Good move!

[Venonat screeches]

[Scorbunny grunts]

-[groans] -That was Poison Powder!

That won't slow us down!

-Scorbunny, Double Kick! -[grunts]

Scorbunny!

And go!

[coos]

Venonat has been registered to your Pokédex!

Now we catch Scyther, and that's that!

-Mebun. -Huh? Scorbunny?

It's Venonat's poison,

so we have to hurry and get it to a Pokémon Center!

Let's do it!

Rotom Phone, where's the nearest Pokémon Center?

Right here!

[Pikachu panting]

[Goh panting]

[Nurse Joy] Hello and welcome to the Pokémon Center.

Here, we can heal Pokémon if they're sick or injured,

and we let them rest so they can return to full strength.

Chansey!

My Scorbunny was hit with Poison Powder, so will you please do what you can?

Of course. Just leave it to us.

[jingle plays]

Here! We've restored your Pokémon to complete health.

Wow. Thank you!

Scorbunny, come on out!

-Scorbun! -Thank goodness!

-I'm so sorry. -Mebun?

I was so involved in catching Pokémon, I didn't see you needed help!

-Forgive me. -[coos]

So will you consider helping me to catch some more Pokémon?

-Mebun! Scorbun! -Pikachu!

-All right! Time to catch a Scyther! -I wanna catch a Scyther, too!

Awesome!

Then the first to catch one gets the win!

Okay!

All right, then, let's be sure we come in first!

Mebun!

Scor. Scor!

-Scorbun! -Did you find it?

It's a Scyther!

-Scyther, Scyther. -Good going, Scorbunny!

-Now let it go! -Scorbun!

Scyther!

-Go! -Scythe!

[growls]

This is my last one!

-Scyther. -[grunts]

-Mebun! -Scorbunny, we've got this!

-Scorbun! -Use Quick Attack, go!

Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor!

-Bun! Huh? -Scythe.

Scyther!

-Well, we can dodge, too! -Scor!

-Great! -Bun!

[Ash] Aw! No way!

Sorry, Ash! Always being a step ahead is how I roll!

Big talker, but you still need to catch it, Goh!

-Yeah. Scorbunny, use Double Kick! -[yells]

Scorbunny!

-[both yell] -All you do is go bam!

-Pika! Pika, Pikachu! -Then you finish it off with a wham!

Now if I can just figure out what "bam" and "wham" mean.

Scythe, Scythe!

-Scorbun! -Ah!

[grunts, groans]

Scorbunny, stay calm, 'kay? Scyther's movements are super quick,

but if you just stay cool and calm, you'll be fine!

-Bun! -Use Quick Attack!

Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor!

[grunts]

-[grunts] -Scythe!

Now! Poké Ball, go!

[Ash] Mm?

Scyther has been registered to your Pokédex!

That's awesome!

That means I've caught every kind of Bug-type Pokémon in Kanto!

That's awesome, Goh!

[exhales, sighs]

Thanks to Scorbunny.

Bunny!

-[laughs] -[both] Yeah!

[Chloe] Isn't it strange that the two of them aren't here for breakfast?

Hmm. Perhaps they're still asleep.

-[Goh laughs] Stop it! -[Cerise] Huh?

-[laughing continues] -Yamper?

What are you doing in here? [gasps]

[laughing]

Goh, let us outta here!

That's what I like to see!

By catching Pokémon and playing with them, you deepen your bonds with them!

Just what a research fellow does!

-But isn't this room too small? -No problem!

[both] Huh?

You can let all the Pokémon you catch run free here in Cerise Park!

-[Goh] Yeah?! This is perfect! -[Ash] Everyone's having a blast!

But weren't you planning on catching Mew as your first Pokémon?

Mm! They say Mew has every Pokémon's DNA,

so that means it doesn't matter

if my dream of catching it first didn't come true.

I'll just catch all the other Pokémon first

and work my way back to Mew instead!

Don't forget, the future's in the palm of my hand!

Mm.

Catching one of every Pokémon sounds fun!

-So, Ash, what about you? -About me?

My dream is to become a Pokémon Master!

-Pika, Pika! -What's that mean?

You wanna be the top Pokémon Trainer in the world?

It's much more than that! Way, way beyond that!

-I guess I don't really get it. -It's cool enough!

Go for it, Ash!

Right! And you, too!

Right!

[narrator] And so, as serious rivals and good friends,

both Ash and Goh have vowed to achieve their goals!

A path of excitement and adventure awaits,

so let's go, as the journey continues!
