08x45 - Hooked on Onix

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR In a come-from-behind victory at the Battle Factory

Ash defeated Noland to earn his first Frontier Symbol!

Our heroes are now headed toward the Battle Arena.

If they make it there before they drop, that is!

You know, this Knowledge Symbol is so cool

I can hardly believe it's mine!

[AMAZED]

Yeah, yeah, you already said that

now can we please take a break?

Not yet!

Not when the Battle Arena's

just around the corner!

Come on! We've gotta keep moving!

ASH "Hooked on Onix."

[groaning] I'm so tired.

I can't take another step.

I told you we needed to take a break back there.

I just need a swallow of water.

'Sorry.'

[gasps] Now what?

I guess we'd better start looking for water.

Right! Then let's do it quick!

Max, how about you stay here and feed all the Pokémon

while the rest of us go out and see what we can find?

Hm. Okay, Brock.

Pikachu, you help too and keep an eye on everyone.

[CONFIDENT]

[CURIOUS]

[groans]

Good grief! You're the one we should've left behind not Max!

That's for sure.

MUDKIP [EXCITED]/[HAPPY]

BROCK/MAY/ASH Huh?

- Hey, it's a river! - 'Good job, Mudkip!'

MUDKIP [PROUD]

Alright, guys, your food's ready now.

I want you to be nice and nobody take more

than your fair share.

PIKACHU [EXCITED]

Good.

[yawning]

I should be able to take a little nap

before the others get back.

[SURPRISED]/[RELIEVED]

I'm glad to see you guys are still here at least!

What's up, Max?

Some of the Pokémon are gone!

What do you mean gone?

I didn't see everything that happened

but I think a bunch of Geodude attacked us and now it looks

like Pikachu and Corphish and Munchlax have disappeared!

BROCK/MAY/ASH Huh!

We've gotta split up and look for 'em!

Yeah.

I should stay here with these guys in case

they come back on their own.

Why don't you take Mudkip with you?

It's really good at finding things.

Okay. Let's go, Mudkip.

[HAPPY]

[CURIOUS]

GEODUDE [ANGRY]

ONIX [SURPRISED]/[ANGRY]

Holy boulder! I've never seen this many Rock Pokémon.

I bet it's a Rock Pokémon Kingdom

where that Onix is the king

and those Geodude's are its subjects.

So what are they talking about, Meowth?

MEOWTH Sounds like they had some trouble nearby with a Squirtle

a Corphish and some other Pokémon.

'They're also saying there was a Pikachu too.'

'So it must have been the Twerps!'

Well, then, all we have to do is convince them

Pikachu is the enemy and they'll capture it for us!

That's not only a mean and diabolical plan

it's also a lazy one!

And when we finally bring Pikachu to the Boss..

TEAM ROCKET We'll be promoted! He'll be devoted! What a blast!

Now, let Operation Rock 'Em Sock 'Em begin!

[EXCITED]

[SURPRISED]

MEOWTH Greetings to you, o' hard-headed ones!

JESSIE May your stones never fracture

great King Onix of the Rock Pokémon!

'I must say, you are even bigger and stronger'

'than the legends describe!'

We come with news about Pikachu

and the other Pokémon you were talking about.

[SURPRISED]

We happen to know those very Pokémon

belong to a certain dastardly Twerp named Ash

and his evil henchmen.

[SURPRISED]

'These cruel and very unusual'

'misfits are even now hatching a plan'

'to capture every last one of the Pokémon in your kingdom!'

JESSIE Where they go, they leave no stone unturned

no rock un-rolled, no pebble un-poached!

Nothing but heartbreak in their wake!

[ANGRY]

King Onix! You must help us stop them!

The only way to save your kingdom's subjects from capture

is to capture those terrible Twerps and their Pokémon first!

Oh, yes, there's one special one we need most of all

the Twerp leader's most vicious underling, Pikachu!

[FURIOUS]

[ANGRY]

I think that went well.

- Quite. - We're a genius!

[PROUD]

[DISAPPOINTED]

Wow, not a trace of them yet.

It's gonna be all my fault if those Geodude hurt 'em.

I'm sure they just got scared and ran off.

And if they went this direction, there's no way we can miss 'em!

Huh! What is this?

[ANGRY]

The Geodude Max was talking about.

Huh!

Well, now I know why the caged Twerp sings.

[STUNNED]/[PAINED]

Silly Pokémon, it was built to absorb your attacks.

Go! Take them away!

[ANGRY]

[DETERMINED]/[PANICKED]

[chuckles]

Our little stone friends are rocking.

[grunting]

[PANICKED]/[ANGRY]

I've gotta figure out what's going on here.

[WORRIED]

'Mudkip's definitely sensing something up there.'

Is it Pikachu?

[AGREEMENT]

I'll go up and take a look.

Careful, Ash.

Don't worry.

[grunting]

[gasps]

'No way!'

Those Pokémon have 'em all in cages?

- 'Ash!' - 'Help!'

MEOWTH [laughing]

Only their evil leader is left. Go get him!

What? Why would Graveler and Golem help Team Rocket?

Brock! You've all been caught too?

BROCK Uh-huh. For some reason all of these Rock Pokémon

are working with Team Rocket.

JESSIE Now isn't this a lovely sight.

Hey! Let us out of here!

You should be the ones behind bars!

JESSIE Prepare for trouble. You're the cellmates now!

JAMES Make it double, with a really big wow.

An evil as old as the galaxy.

Sent here to fulfill our destiny.

Don't forget me!

To denounce the evils of truth and love.

To extend our reach to the stars above.

Jessie!

Of course, James!

And Meowth are our names!

Anywhere there's peace in the universe..

- Team Rocket.. - Will be there..

TEAM ROCKET To make everything worse!

[AFFIRMATIVE]

I've been waitin' a long time for this Pikachu.

[ANGRY]

Now we'll get Onix to release Pikachu

and the other Pokémon to us.

JAMES 'The Boss is going to be thrilled!'

You'll never get away with this!

JAMES King Onix, do you see how angry and hostile

the biggest Twerp and his friends are?

JESSIE You've done the right thing by capturing them

before they could harm your loyal subjects!

MEOWTH 'Now make sure they never harm anyone again!'

[ANGRY]

'King Onix!'

[STARTLED]

These people have been telling you lies!

They're the dishonest ones, who steal Pokémon!

[SURPRISED]

He's right!

King Onix, this is their evil leader

the brutal Twerp himself, come here to destroy your kingdom

'just like we warned you he would!'

[ANGRY]

You've got your nerve coming right into the king's court

planning to crush its subjects into gravel driveways.

I would never harm any Pokémon!

Same goes for us!

Yeah, we were just passing through, honest!

King Onix, they're trying to twist

the truth and get you confused!

MEOWTH 'Lock him up with the others'

'and we'll take care of their Pokémon!'

How can I convince you, King Onix?

[ANGRY]

Hey! They're the bad guys.

That's why they wanna take the Pokémon!

[AGREEMENT]

[CONFUSED]

MEOWTH It's saying, "I don't know who to believe

"but if you face me in a battle, and if you can beat me

then I'll believe your side of the story."

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Aah!

You sure you wanna battle, Onix?

[DETERMINED]

It says, if you really are who you say you are

you wouldn't hesitate to help your friends and prove that

these others are the ones I should be throwing into cages.

[gasping]

Great, if that's the only way that I can prove

that I'm no threat to you, then I accept this battle!

[FIERCE]

Grovyle, come on out!

[APPEARING]

Ash should have the advantage going up against a Rock-type

by using a Grass-type like Grovyle!

'Yeah, but it'll take more than that to win'

'against an Onix as strong as this one!'

Okay, Grovyle?

[DETERMINED]

Let's go, Quick Attack now!

[QUICK MOVE]

[PAINED]

[DETERMINED]

[PAINED]

I think you'd better be careful, Ash!

This is one high-level Onix you're going up against!

Come right back at it with your b*llet Seed, Grovyle!

[FOCUSED]

[b*llet SEED MOVE]

[ANGRY]

[DETERMINED]

Keep on firing b*llet Seed Grovyle

and try to focus on the top of its head!

[b*llet SEED MOVE]

[PAINED]

That one was super effective!

Awesome. Way to go, Ash!

Now, Grovyle, finish it with Leaf Blade!

[LEAF BLADE MOVE]

[PAINED]

[DAZED]

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH [whimpering]

Uh, King Onix? You okay?

It ain't looking so hot right now.

- Well? - What do we do now?

We still have Pikachu locked in a cage.

I say we just grab it and then run like a Raikou.

Not a bad idea, but it'd be such a waste to leave

all these other Pokémon behind.

Then let's take the Onix. Talk about a souvenir!

Can you imagine how happy the Boss is gonna be

when we show up with that big thing?

- That would be perfect. - How do we do it, Meowth?

Well, I'm glad you asked.

[ANGRY]/[STUNNED]

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH [laughing]

Now what?

JESSIE 'Hey, you behind bars!'

Are you ready for a little jailhouse rock?

Your dear King Onix is all ours' now

and your Pikachu too!

[SHOCKED]

JAMES 'We'll cast the first stone.'

[ANGRY]

Go, Grovyle, help Onix out!

[LEAF BLADE MOVE]

[CONFIDENT]

Are you okay, Onix?

[AGREEMENT]/[DETERMINED]

[DETERMINED]/[EXERTION]

[RELIEVED]

Yeah!

[PROTECTIVE]

They're not attacking us. They're protecting us!

BROCK Onix realized who the bad guys really are.

So, you'll have to go through all of us

to get to Pikachu now, Team Rocket!

'And what was that dumb robot supposed to do for you anyway?'

We wouldn't expect a pebble-brained Twerp

to understand.

Explain it to him, Meowth.

What's a Rock Pokémon's greatest weakness?

Water!

[PAINED]/[STUNNED]

And now the grab!

[PANIC]

Pikachu!

[SHOCKED]

Contact! Now, for the getaway!

MEOWTH 'Chimecho balloon inflated!'

'And now a shoplifting liftoff!'

- Pikachu! - Oh, no!

[PANICKED]/[ANGRY]

[cheering]

Move it, Meowth!

Yeah, our flight's been delayed!

Huh! Those lousy Rock Pokémon have their clamps on the king!

Go Mudkip, Water g*n!

[WATER g*n MOVE]

Corphish, use Bubblebeam!

[BUBBLEBEAM MOVE]

[HAPPY]

Squirtle, Bubble Attack!

[BUBBLE MOVE]

Now, Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[screaming]

[DETERMINED]

TEAM ROCKET [screaming]

I guess next time we battle Rock Pokémon

we need to be a little boulder.

But it seemed like a victory was just a stone's throw away.

Maybe we shouldn't have taken it for granite!

TEAM ROCKET Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!

[laughing] Hey! This kinda travel is great!

[HAPPY]

We'll get to the Battle Arena in style!

All the Rock Pokémon are following us!

They must really love their king!

Well, this Onix is a hard king not to like.

'Yeah, hard as rock!'

PIKACHU [HAPPY]

NARRATOR There were some tense moments but our heroes were able to use

their battling abilities to gain the trust of King Onix

and help the Rock Pokémon restore peace to their kingdom.

It's another adventure and another step closer

to Ash's goal of conquering the Battle Frontier.
