08x02 - The Relicanth Really Can

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR While exploring the many different islands

on their way to Mossdeep Island.

Ash and friends find themselves at the famous

Grand Wazoo Resort on Wazoo Island.

Just look at how incredibly blue the sky and the ocean are here.

This place is supposed to be famous

for beautiful beaches too.

GIRL A Let's go and lay out by the pool for a while.

[chuckles]

That's not all that's beautiful!

MAX Okay, simmer down.

This place isreally nice.

[HAPPY]

Wha..

'What is that?'

[gasping]

[laughing]

- A sea monster. - Is it a Pokémon?

I've never seen a Pokémon like that.

It's some kind of crazy primitive creature

from the bottom of the ocean.

The day has finally come.

Adam, Man of The Sea

has finally found his buried treasure.

MAY/MAX/ASH/BROCK A treasure?

ASH "The Relicanth Really Can."

I've been looking forward to this for a long time.

The day I finally find my treasure.

Is it jewels or money or what, Adam?

Probably silver and diamonds right?

No, better. Rare emeralds.

ADAM Feast your eyes.

They're beautiful, Adam.

They look like they're pretty old too.

They could be really valuable.

Oh, I'm quite sure about that.

These babies will be the prize item in my shop.

You have a shop?

It's just a little store called

"Bounty of the Sea."

Why don't you all come with me

and I'll show you my collection of ocean souvenirs.

'Guys, I'd like you to meet my wife, Evelyn.'

Okay, so what do you think? They're emeralds, aren't they?

- My greatest find yet. - Hm, no doubt.

Best find ever.

But these aren't emeralds, dear.

- They're green shards. - So what's a green shard?

[CURIOUS]

EVELYN Long ago, green shards were used

in making valuable jewelry.

Now, how much are they worth?

Well, uh, lots more than plain old sea shells.

And more than those Barboach whiskers

'or Feebas scales, or Crawdaunt claws'

you usually bring home.

What are you saying? Are they valuable, or not?

Green shards are nice

but we're not gonna get rich with them, I'm afraid.

Hey, don't be upset, you'll find a real treasure someday, Adam.

That's right, you can't expect everything you find

to be worth, millions of dollars.

Besides, I like 'em whether they're rare or not.

Well, this kind of quality workmanship

is very hard to find these days.

So, how do you suppose

they ended up on the bottom of the ocean, Adam?

I'm hoping they're from the wreck of the King Neptune.

It's a famous sunken ship.

A sunken ship?

[CURIOUS]

That's right, the King Neptune was a cargo ship

but legend has it that it was caught in a terrible typhoon

right off the coast of this island.

The water was so rough

that rocks tore holes in the ship's hull.

Fortunately, the crew was able to make it to the lifeboats

and everyone came out of it alive.

But the ship sunk to the bottom of the sea

and for a hundred years now

no one has been able to find it.

According to the legend, the King Neptune carried

the greatest treasure ever to set sail.

- Oh! - Really?

[AMAZED]

Do you think you can remember where you found this?

Mm-hm. In fact, it was my very last dive of the day.

I hadn't found anything at all

and I was just about to give up

when I happened to catch sight of a Relicanth.

[EXERTION]

Something was caught on its fin

and as it swam off, it fell off right into my hands.

ASH/MAY/MAX A Relicanth?

POKEDEX Relicanth.

The Longevity Pokémon.

Relicanth is covered in stone-like scales

which allow it to withstand the pressure of the deep ocean.

But isn't Relicanth like an Ancient Pokémon

that you wouldn't normally just run into?

Yeah, you're right, I wonder if it could have something to do

with this sunken ship and the missing treasure.

Oh, this is all so exciting and romantic.

You know what, dear?

That Relicanth might just lead us to the Neptune

if you can find it again.

Oh, yeah, I can find it again

or my name's not Adam, Man of The Sea.

And I won't quit until that lost treasure's ours at last.

Hey, Adam? Would ya mind if we all came along and helped you?

[EXCITED]

That sounds good, Ash!

Evelyn, let's not waste a second.

- Is the ship ready? - Aye aye, sir.

I'll just refuel the submarine

and then we can push off.

Sunken treasure, eh?

And the best kind too.

The kind they go and find for us.

Just think what we can do when all that treasure is ours.

I'll have such a fleet of mechanical contraptions

that I'll never have to leave the house.

And I will be traveling to the world's most exotic destinations

in such first-class luxury and style

that I'll never want to stay at home.

Uh, hello, Earth to Jessie and James.

The treasure goes to the Boss, and don't you forget it.

JESSIE/JAMES All of it?

All of it.

We'll use it to make a solid gold bed for him

and all-silver furniture.

Imagine him waking up in that room

with jewels on the blankets and even on his nightcap.

Naturally he'd say..

[Meowth imitates Boss] "Hm..

"What a bright shiny new day

"in my bright shiny room.

"I might have to start wearing my sunglasses to bed.

"And for brightenin' my day with these treasures

"I'll make sure that Meowth and friends

futures gleam just as brightly."

[hysterical laughter]

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Wow! We'll be rich.

We'll be famous. We'll wear silk pajamas.

So, let's put this plan into action.

MEOWTH/JAMES Aye aye!

[AGREEMENT]

EVELYN 'This is Evelyn. All systems go.'

'You're clear to submerge.'

Good hunting, you guys.

Be careful. Releasing cable.

All pressure indicators are a go. Let's do this.

- Is everybody ready back there? - Yeah.

Now flooding forward ballast tanks.

Prepare to submerge.

Good luck, don't forget to keep radio contact.

[dramatic music]

ADAM 'Submarine to Evelyn. Come in.'

Passing three hundred feet, all systems read normal.

Roger that. Have anything on your screen yet?

Your sonar should be operational.

ADAM 'Nothing on sonar yet. Over.'

It's really getting dark out there.

[SHOCKED]

It's like another world, huh?

Now, you'll see some things you've never seen.

Just watch when I turn on the lights.

[dramatic music]

Oh, look at all the different Pokémon.

Hey, look. There's a school of Chinchou over there.

[FOCUSED]

I didn't know there were Pokémon this deep in the ocean.

And we haven't even reached the bottom yet

which means there may be some still undiscovered.

[EXCITED]

Sonar detection ahead.

Let's have a look.

[instrumental music]

There's my friendly Relicanth. We've spotted it.

Now, all we have to do is..

[screaming]

Come in, submarine. Adam, what was that sound?

I don't know. I'll check the rear view.

- 'There's the culprit.' - A Magikarp?

And a really big one.

Hey, isn't that Team Rocket's submarine.

Team Rocket?

BROCK 'They're troublemakers'

'who use Pokémon for evil purposes.'

ASH 'They must've heard about the treasure.'

This sounds bad.

JESSIE 'I'm over this submarine.'

After all these years, don't you think we could save up

enough money to at least put a motor in this contraption.

At least, you got a better view then me.

Hey, hang on a minute.

I know what we need in this situation.

Huh!

- What do we need? - Chimecho, come on out!

[HAPPY]

You know what they say.

"Music soothes the savage beast," right?

[SINGING]

Yeah, well, I'm still feelin' savage

so I'm firing off the m*ssile.

[dramatic music]

[screaming]

[siren blaring]

JESSIE 'Get that big lemon off the road.'

- 'Ha ha!' - 'Eat bubbles, losers.'

That Team Rocket is trouble.

Is everybody still okay?

- Yeah. - We're fine, Adam.

[ANGRY]

Those guys really make me mad.

No way are they gettin' that treasure.

EVELYN 'Evelyn to submarine, what's your condition?'

'Please respond.'

All hands are A-okay, Evelyn.

We came under attack but power's been restored

and we're under way.

'All seals holding, pressure normal.'

'Resuming pursuit of the Relicanth.'

Understood, keep in contact.

[FOCUSED]

MEOWTH 'We've been goin' like this forever.'

'How deep are we?'

I'd check the gauge but we don't have one.

I want that treasure even if it means

following this Relicanth all the way down to China.

[gasps]

[NOTICING]

Is creaking and leaking a good thing?

Sure, if you don't mind being flattened inside of submarine.

Well, we aren't going back now.

We're here and we'll keep going

'cause it's the Team Rocket way.

[PANICKED]

[screaming]

Perhaps the Team Rocket way has taken a wrong turn?

[screaming]

Team Rocket just got swept away.

Good, it serves them right.

ADAM Where is Relicanth going?

I'll zoom in.

It's an undersea cave.

Are there a lot of 'em down here?

[NERVOUS]/[STARTLED]

[screaming]

Adam, what's goin' on?

It's just underwater turbulence created by the same current

that got Team Rocket, but don't worry

we have enough power to stay out of it.

[STRUGGLING]

Relicanth dove right in to the current.

You think it did that on purpose?

I don't know, but it looks like it's getting away.

Follow it in. That's our only choice now, Adam.

Alright, but hold on tight, everyone.

As Adam, Great Man of The Sea

now enters into uncharted waters.

'Charge!'

What're you doing diving into the current.

You don't know where it's going.

[groans] He never listens.

[dramatic music]

Wow, this is the strongest current

I've ever felt.

[screaming]

I can't control i-it!

'Hang on!'

- Hmm? - 'Are you alright, Ash?'

Where are we?

Is everybody okay?

It's time for exploring.

Wow, that current was really rough.

I don't know how we got through.

Hey, pal!

I'm glad you're alright.

[RELIEVED]

Looks like everyone's okay

and the submarine is still intact.

Yeah, but where exactly did we end up?

- Ah, Adam. - What's out there?

[gasps]

[dramatic music]

MAY How could a sailboat get in here?

Adam, could this be the wreck you told us about?

That's it! I'm sure that's King Neptune from the legend!

I'm going in and getting that treasure.

You guys stay here and guard the submarine.

- Ha-ha! - Okay, don't worry about us.

I wonder how there can be so much light in here

if we're in an underwater cavern?

Yeah, the moss on the rocks is glowing.

And somehow there's fresh air coming in here too.

- Hm. Hey, look. - Hm?

'Maybe the air comes in through that big opening over there?'

Hm, that's the only one I see

so I guess that's how we got in.

Which means in order for us to leave

we'll have to go back through there again.

RELICANTH [CALM]

ASH/BROCK/MAX/MAY Huh?

[HAPPY]

I don't know about treasure

but that ship sure has a lot of Relicanths.

They look pretty happy in there too.

Of course, this is the perfect Relicanth hideout.

[PLEASED]

And most likely, they've been in here

since the ship originally sank

and I'll bet you they'll still be here

for a hundred years to come.

- 'Ahoy!' - Huh?

Adam, Great Man of The Sea

has at last found King Neptune's treasure.

Looks like you were right, Adam.

[EXCITED]

C'mon, let's take a look at it.

- Alright, I'm opening it up. - 'No, you're not.'

- Huh! - Who said that?

JESSIE 'Prepare for trouble and cough up that treasure.'

JAMES Make it double, your plunder's our pleasure.

JESSIE 'To protect the world from devastation.'

JAMES 'To unite all peoples within our nation.'

JESSIE To denounce the evils of truth and love.

To extend our reach to the stars above.

- Jessie. - James.

Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light.

Surrender now or prepare to fight.

Meowth, that's right.

[AGREEMENT]

[SINGING]

Team Rocket.

[ANGRY]

JESSIE 'We do appreciate you going to the trouble'

of finding the treasure forus.

Yes, we don't like to get our uniforms dirty.

Of course, it don't mean we don't like playin' dirty. Ha!

[gasping]

Take that, Twerpeys.

Our biggest rip-off to date.

The most fun too.

Oh, yeah? I'll show you fun.

How about I show you?

[screaming]

[PANICKED]

[groans] They blew up the ship.

And they destroyed where all of the Relicanths were living.

Consider that our encore.

The real meat of the production

was stealing all of your treasure.

Hope you enjoyed the show!

Stick around. You might get an autograph!

JAMES/JESSIE Bravo! Hm?

[ANGRY]

What's all this grumbling about?

They're just a little cranky now

'cause I blew up their sunken ship.

You want us, come and get us!

I'm not afraid of a bunch of prehistoric Pokémon.

I can't even tell if you're awake or asleep.

[AGREEMENT]

[ANGRY]

If they weren't before, they're sure awake now.

Hey, about what I said before.

Don't apologize to these things.

Here's how you do it.

You show them who's in control.

[dramatic music]

[EXERTION]

[gasping]

They're hurting the Relicanth.

Alright, Corphish, go.

[READY]

Bubble Beam, now.

[BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

[RELIEVED]

Now, might be a good time to leave.

JAMES/MEOWTH/JESSIE Bye!

Team Rocket! Get back here!

JESSIE 'Gotta run!'

Meowth, it's always polite to close the door behind you.

I heard that.

MEOWTH 'Sorry, didn't mean to slam it!'

PIKACHU [PANICKED]

That's not good. They've blocked off our exit.

So, how're we supposed to get out of this place now?

[gasps] Are we're trapped?

RELICANTH [FRANTIC]

ASH/MAX/MAY/BROCK/ADAM Huh?

Where are all the Relicanth heading off to?

Maybe they know another exit somewhere.

[CURIOUS]

[URGING]

It's tryin' to tell us somethin'.

Maybe to follow it?

- That's it! - Ah!

They do know another opening

and they wanna show us the way.

Alright!

Back into the sub, everybody.

We're following the Relicanth.

[EXERTION]/[FOCUSED]

[gasping]

MAY 'Hey, look guys, there's another exit.'

Underwater. No wonder we couldn't see it.

But, in order to get to it

'we're gonna have to go through a pretty strong current.'

Don't worry, you can leave it to me.

Because I, Adam, Great Man of The Sea

will make sure I get all of you home safe.

[CONFIDENT]/[FOCUSED]

ADAM 'Hold on!'

[Adam grunts]

Kind of fun, uh, once you get the hang of it.

We'll be out of here in no time.

[Adam chuckles] 'Whoo!'

EVELYN Evelyn to submarine. Come in, please, Adam.

It's been over an hour without response from the sub.

Oh, please be okay.

ADAM 'Submarine to Evelyn.'

Oh, Adam!

ADAM 'Evelyn, we've had a close call'

'but we're returning to surface.'

'All hands present and accounted for.'

'Thanks to our Relicanth escort'

'we're on our way back home. Over.'

Oh! Roger.

[RELIEVED]

Well, that was an adventure.

We'd be trapped if it wasn't for the Relicanth.

It was lookin' a little shaky for a minute there.

Thank you, you were awesome!

[GRATEFUL]

[HAPPY]

So, I, Adam, Great Man of The Sea

today has conquered an uncharted, underwater world.

Why did you break off radio contact?

And where's the treasure?

Well, I was going to tell you about that, my dear.

Unfortunately, the Team Rocket people who attacked us

managed to get away with the treasure.

Lucky for you, Mr. Great Man of The Sea

'I've been tracking them the whole time.'

[device beeping]

JESSIE Ah, sweet success.

I can't believe one of our plans actually worked for a change.

All we have to do now is get this treasure chest

off to the Boss and then we'll let the good times roll.

And then after that rolls, the money is gonna roll.

- 'Not so fast.' - Huh?

'Give the treasure chest back to Adam'

or you're gonna be sorry!

[ADAMANT]

Oh, great, it's the Twerp.

But we sealed them in the cave.

- How'd they get out? - Impossible.

I don't know which is worse, that you stole my treasure

or that you blew up the ship that the Relicanth called home.

Bulbasaur, let's go.

[APPEARING]

[VINE WHIP MOVE]

Get your vines off my treasure.

This treasure chest belongs to us.

You can't just take things from people.

What are you? Crooks?

That is not yours.

Don't you dare call us crooks.

Fine then. Go, Seviper.

[APPEARING]

Now, lay out that Bulbasaur with your Poison Tail.

[POISON TAIL MOVE]

[PAINED]

Oh, no, Bulbasaur!

Cover Bulbasaur with your Water g*n, Mudkip.

[WATER g*n MOVE]

[HYDRO PUMP MOVE]

[screaming]

The Relicanth are using Hydro Pump.

[grunting]

Bulbasaur, grab the chest.

[VINE WHIP MOVE]

I got ya.

Pikachu, finish it up with Thunder.

[THUNDER MOVE]

[screaming]

Fame and fortune was just right within our grasp.

From now on, let's leave buried treasure buried.

'Cause now, we're the one's who're sunk.

[FRUSTRATED]/[SHOCKED]

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

WOBBUFFET [EXASPERATED]

[CALM]

Well, should we have a look at this treasure?

Yes!

I wonder what it's gonna be.

Maybe it's emeralds this time.

Huh!

[gasping]

PIKACHU [SHOCKED]

It's all green shards.

Just lots and lots of green shards.

Why was the ship carrying so many of 'em?

[CURIOUS]

Well, probably since they were used

so much for making jewelry back then

they were worth a lot more than they are now.

I was so certain I'd found treasure.

Don't be sad, Adam.

All those green shards will make

a lot of beautiful jewelry we can sell.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Well, I think shards are beautiful.

May, I'll make sure to give you

the very first necklace we finish.

Do you mean it? Thanks.

- You know what? - Huh?

The sea is still full of mysteries

and lots of uncharted territories

and there is still treasure out there for those who seek it.

Now I, Adam, Man of The Sea

intend to continue on that quest.

As for you, my Relicanth friends

I wish you well on your quest, for a new home.

Let's do what we can to protect the sea

for all the creatures who live there.

[AGREEMENT]

Now, that sounds more like the Adam we know.

With a positive attitude like his

I bet he's gonna find a real treasure in no time.

- That's for sure. - Yeah!

He's Adam, Man of The Sea!

[PROUD]

[Adam chuckles]

NARRATOR And so, their encounter

with the Ancient Pokémon, Relicanth

and a thrilling treasure hunt now behind them
