24x24 - Everybody's Doing the Underground Shuffle! (Shuffle Panic in the Underground Labyrinth!?)

[bunniefuu]

[playful music]

[narrator] Ash's goal is to battle one of the world's greatest Trainers, Leon!

Goh's goal is to catch one of every kind of Pokémon,

including Mew!

This is the story of their adventure-filled journey

through the world of Pokémon!

[camera shutter clicks]

This is Driftveil City, a harbor town in the Unova region.

Ash and Goh have come here

after hearing a rumor that a previously undiscovered Pokémon

has appeared.

[both scream]

Just a lie?

[Ash] So where'd the rumor about Klink's final Evolution Klinklangalangalangalang

come from, anyway?

It's this great little joke I came up with in order to help advertise my shop!

And these drawings from witnesses?

That's right. I drew those myself, too.

Look what I've got.

How about a Unova favorite, Klink Cookies?

They're the perfect gift…

[both groan]

So how come no one made sure it was real first?

And to think we came all the way here to Unova!

All I did was tell you what I saw in the news.

It was you who said we had to come!

Will you two stop your bellyaching?

I really wanted to catch a Klinklangalangalangalangalangalang.

Too many “alangs”, dig?

It's Klinklangalangalangalangalang.

[Jessie] Klinklangalangalangalangalangalang!

-[Meowth] Klinklangalangalangalangalang! -[Jessie] Wrong!

It doesn't matter what it is. It's not real in the first place!

Wob… Wobbuffet.

[Chloe] Amazing.

Driftveil City's market!

-Vee! -Ah, oh…

[Chloe] Hey! Did you find what you were looking for?

[both] Hm?

Sort of. You shopped?

I sure did! I got a whole bunch.

So you're the only one who got something done…

What's wrong with you?

-[Meowth and Jessie grumble] -Oh, come on.

Hey! Good news! Over there! A treasure trove of Twerps!

-They'd never come to a place like… -[James] Ooh.

-[Jessie] What do you know? -I smell a great opportunity!

Let's poach Pikachu!

Wobbuffet.

[theme music]

[Chloe] "Everybody's Doing…"

[Ash, Goh, Chloe] "The Underground Shuffle!"

[munching]

These Klink cookies are really good!

-[Pikachu] Pika! -All right.

I came to Unova for these cookies!

-I came to Unova for these cookies! -He's trying to convince himself.

[Goh] I came to Unova for these cookies!

Hey, Grookey, what's going on?

Grookey.

[Chloe] What's that supposed to be?

[Goh] Construction?

No, that doesn't make sense.

[Ash] It looks really deep!

-[Grookey chirps] -Eevee.

-[Chloe] Grookey, stop! -[Ash] This is bad!

Eevee!

-We've gotta go, too. -[grunts]

[Ash] Let's move!

[grunting]

[suspenseful music]

[Pikachu] Pika.

They went down that hole!

They won't get away.

-Come on! -Hold it!

Wouldn't it be better to wait for when they come back out?

-Out here? -Hmm.

I've got it!

[Meowth] Wobbuffet, you stand guard in case Pikachu comes out before us!

-Then… -[Jessie] Just catch it in the net!

Wobbuffet!

-Chasing them is job one! -Right.

-[Jessie and James grunt] -Chill out!

Pika…

-[Chloe] Eevee? -Grookey?

-[Grookey and Eevee shout] -Pika?

-[Ash] This way! -[all pant]

[Goh] There you are!

Thank goodness!

[Grookey] Grookey!

[Ash] What's with these tunnels?

[Goh] They're like something you'd find in a maze…

[scoffs] Their Twerpish guards are down.

Then let's start the stealing!

Hyper-Capture Machine, power on!

Huh?

You stepped on that machine and broke it.

Remember?

Come on!

Didn't you say you fixed that thing?

-We can't steal Pikachu without it! -The whole thing's your fault!

-Why my fault? -Why not?

Can't we all just play nice?

[all gasp]

[grumbles] Morpeko.

[all yell]

Morpeko!

And it wants a jumbo feed bag!

[shushes] If we talk too loud, we're busted!

[Ash] Yeah? By who?

[all gasp]

All right, what are you three doing here?

Probably plotting something again.

You see? We're busted!

Hmm. Since that's the case…

We'll just use force!

[Goh yelps]

-[Ash] Heads up, Pikachu! -Pika!

-[Chloe] Eevee, where are you? -Eevee.

[James] Who can breathe in all this smoke?

[Jessie] Let's find Pikachu and ditch these dorks!

-[Grookey pants] -[Goh] Grookey! Don't get too far away!

[Meowth] I think I just bumped into something!

-[Morpeko grunts] -[Meowth yelps]

[Ash coughs]

What's wrong with them?

Hey, Pikachu!

You all right?

-[Morpeko groans] -[yelps]

-[Ash] Morpeko? -[grunting]

Yippee! Pikachu's well in hand!

I like a working plan!

[Eevee] Eevee.

[both gasp]

[Jessie and James] What?

[Jessie] You're no Pikachu!

I'm worried.

-[Goh] Where could Grookey be? -Pika?

Not to mention we all got separated.

Eevee!

I don't think it's around here.

Meowth?

Grookey. Grookey, key.

[Grookey chirps]

[groaning]

Hello?

Hey, Goh? Chloe? Pikachu?

It really is like a maze.

So where is everybody?

Morpeko, know where we are?

[grumbles]

[gasps] Are you hungry again?

I just gave you a Klink Cookie, didn't I?

Morpeko!

I'll give you another one.

[Ash] But just one!

Morpeko! [munching]

-[sighs] -Morpeko!

I think I'll be in trouble when the cookies run out.

[sighs]

[Goh] Another fork in the road.

Should I go to the left this time?

Pikachu, keep track of where we've been…

Ah… Pikachu?

Pikachu!

[grunts]

-Hold on! Stop, Pikachu! -Pika?

Not alone!

If you do this by yourself, you're going to get lost.

Pika?

Let's see.

How many turns have we made so far…

Left, right, left, left, right, right, left, right…

-Like I said, stop! -Pika.

[groans] Ew! Something smells!

[grunting]

[Chloe] Eevee!

If you hear me, answer!

[Chloe sighs]

Why are you following me?

There's only one path, so what do you think?

[exhales deeply]

Hey, can you tell me something?

Team Rocket steals other people's Pokémon, right?

Why do you do that?

We're an evil outfit.

And we've got orders to steal Pokémon, dig?

[Meowth grunts]

Are… you all right?

[coughing]

Aww… You're covered in dirt!

Stay still for a second.

Wow. Thanks a lot.

[Meowth] She's so nice!

Jessie wouldn't do that sort of thing if you paid her!

Huh?

-Do you smell something? -Yeah, and it stinks.

[both scream]

[Meowth] Look out!

-[thuds] -[gasps]

Trubbish… Trub, Trub.

Uh…

Everything's cool now.

Oh, thank you so much.

[Chloe] Did I just get saved?

Maybe Meowth's not so bad after all.

[Jessie grunts]

The Twerps aren't around. Nor Pikachu.

And we don't know how to get out.

Hey, Eevee.

Do you have any idea where the exit is?

[Eevee] Eevee?

We need a translator.

If only Meowth were here.

Or not!

We'd be in the same pickle with Meowth or without!

Perish the thought, Jess!

-Meowth's one of us! -I've got it!

Why don't we make this Eevee an official member of Team Rocket?

Perhaps.

[James] If Eevee joined our team,

it could spy on the Twerps, and they'd never know.

[Jessie] See? Another great idea!

Now that that's decided, we'll fill your fluffy head

with Team Rocket evil thinking!

You'll be up to the brim with Team Rocket vigor and vim!

Eevee?

Grookey… key. [pants]

-[wind blows] -[gasps]

[Grookey grunts]

I wonder if Grookey has teamed up with anyone.

It was with Team Rocket way back when.

I hope they haven't captured it again!

-Pikachu. -Huh?

Ah… Looks like a sewer.

So this is where that smell was coming from!

A sewer has to be connected to the outside…

-It has to. -Pika!

[grunts] Again? Wait up, Pikachu!

Pika?

We've got to think where we're going, or we'll never get out!

Pika!

Seismitoad!

[screaming]

[Ash] Who's that Pokémon?

Pika?

Seismitoad!

Pika, pika!

-Seismitoad! -[both grunt]

[Goh] That's…

[Rotom Phone] Seismitoad. The Vibration Pokémon.

A Water and Ground type.

Seismitoad vibrates the bumps on its body

to create earthquake-like shaking.

Quick, Pikachu, use Iron… [groans]

Pikachu!

Seismitoad!

[Goh yelps]

-Pika! -Pikachu!

[Seismitoad grunts]

No! Electric-type attacks won't work on Seismitoad…

-Pika? -…but Iron Tail will!

Pikachu…. Pika!

[groans]

This is perfect!

-I'll catch it now! -[Pikachu yells]

[groans]

-[Goh] Aw. Too bad. -Pikachu.

Aw, I didn't want that to happen.

Huh?

That feeling like I'm playing second fiddle.

It reminds me of…

Of course!

-It reminds me of Ash! -Pika?

I guess Pokémon

do end up taking after their Trainers! [chuckles]

[grunting] I'm not gonna let you eat all of it!

I'm pretty hungry myself, you know that?

[both grunting]

If that's what you want…

I'm gonna eat it before you do!

[calm music]

[Chloe] How is it you can talk like a human?

Well, you see…

A long time ago, I really liked someone, so I learned the language.

Oh. Really?

And tell me what it is that makes you like someone.

What makes me like someone…

-I guess you could say I like niceness. -Well, what do you know?

But if you'd like others to treat you nicely,

then you've got to treat them nicely, too.

Yeah? That makes sense.

Look, Meowth.

Why don't you give up doing bad things?

-[Meowth yelps] -Wait.

You were caught by Team Rocket.

That explains it.

[Meowth] Nope! Never been caught.

[gasps] You're kidding.

But aren't they your friends?

Those lugs aren't my friends!

Jessie works 'dis poor ol' Pokémon to the point of exhaustion!

She's just awful!

[Chloe] You shouldn't talk like that!

Bad-mouthing is wrong, even if it's about bad people.

If you two had a fight, you've gotta make up!

Yeah?

[Meowth] This Twerp is a beacon of brilliance!

There's only one thing left for me to do.

I'm gonna quit Team Rocket, and then let her catch me without a fight!

That's right!

-Jessie! -And James!

Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!

Surrender now, or prepare for a rip-roaring fight!

Meowth, that's right!

-[growls] -[Jessie] Hear that?

The "That's right!" part is going to be your part, get it?

Denouncing truth and love is important to our self-introduction!

See, timing is everything!

Eevee!

Now, it's time to practice!

-Jessie! -And James!

Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!

Surrender now or prepare for a furry fight!

Ee… vee. Eevee!

-Not bad. -I'm impressed!

Are you really sure about this?

Using Eevee instead of our old chum.

Sure! It's perfect!

Okay, let's practice once more, Eevee-Weevee!

Eevee.

[panting]

[Grookey chirping]

Grookey, grook!

[grunts] Grookey.

-Wobbuffet. -[Grookey chirps]

Wobbu…

[Grookey yelping]

Grookey?

Key, key, key!

-Grookey. -Wob… Wobbu?

-Wobbuffet! -[Grookey chirping]

-[chirping continues] -[gasps]

-[Grookey chirping] -[groans]

[Wobbuffet grunting]

[suspenseful music]

Huh?

Something's up there!

-Maybe it's Ash and the g*ng! Let's go! -Pika!

[pants]

[both pant]

-Huh? -Durant.

[Rotom Phone] Durant. The Iron Ant Pokémon.

A Bug and Steel type.

Durant possesses tough armor and huge mandibles.

It creates a maze-like nest, which it protects in groups.

Then these tunnels must be part of Durant's nest!

Pika!

[grunting]

Pikachu, use Electroweb!

[Pikachu grunting]

[all grunting]

Uh-oh!

-[Goh] We're getting outta here! -Pika!

[breathes deeply]

[grunts]

-You can't have it, see? -[Morpeko grunting]

-[continues grunting] -[Durants growl]

They're Durants!

Hey, look around you!

This is no time for a fight!

-[Morpeko grunting] -Knock it off…

Ah, I know!

No way you're gonna get this! [laughs]

Morpeko!

[grunting]

[yells]

[Durants groan]

Man, that hurts, but it's also pretty great!

Now's our chance! [Ash pants]

[Meowth] What a lovely stone…

I'll give it to her and tell her I want her to catch me!

-Hm, uh… -Uh, what's up?

Well, it's just that… Would you please…

-Uh… -[Durants grunting]

[both screaming]

What in the world is with those things?

-Whatever! Just run! -[both scream]

[Grookey and Wobbuffet grunting]

[both grunt]

[Wobbuffet grunting]

[Heatmor grumbling]

[both whimper]

[both scream]

[Heatmor grunting]

-[Pikachu] Pika! -[all grunting]

[all scream]

-Hey, it's Ash! -Look, it's Goh and Pikachu!

[Chloe and Meowth pant]

It's Chloe and Meowth?

[both] It's the Twerp troop!

All three!

-Eevee! -Eevee.

Oh! Thank goodness!

Man, oh, man.

[Jessie groans] So you were all right?

Not that I really care at all.

Jess, come on!

Those are my lines.

-Pika. -[both chuckle]

Hold on. Where's Grookey?

[all gasp]

[rumbling]

[all yelling]

[all whimper]

-[Morpeko grunts] -[all yelping]

'Kay. Let's take 'em on.

You ready, buddy?

Pikachu!

So, where did Grookey go off to?

-Grookey… key… -[both] Huh?

-[Grookey chirping] -[Wobbuffet yelling]

There you are!

-But… -With Wobbuffet?

[both screaming]

What are those? [gasps]

[Rotom Phone] Heatmor. The Anteater Pokémon. A Fire type.

It uses its fiery tongue to attack Durant, who is its natural enemy.

Heatmor!

[all grunting]

[continues grunting]

[gasps] Hold on!

Doesn't that mean we can escape now?

-She's right! -Pika!

We should get out, too!

[all screaming]

-Pikachu! -[all screaming]

[thrilling music]

-[calm music] -[all panting]

[Ash] We made it!

Durant.

What are you doing here?

It must've run away, too.

Okay.

Would you like to come with me?

Durant.

All right, Poké Ball, let's go!

[warbles]

[chimes]

[Rotom Phone] Durant has been registered to your Pokédex.

-I just caught a Durant! -Eevee.

-Eevee. Eevee, Eevee. -Pika?

[chuckles] Who are you copying?

[Meowth] If I want to tell her how I feel, I'd better do it now!

Uh… I love you!

Please, please tell me you'll be my friend!

Pretty please?

[blows raspberries] Really?

-After all this time? -[gasps]

Thanks!

But you know we've been friends from the start, haven't we?

Um-hm. That's so true!

Wobb… Wobb…

But wait.

-That wasn't… -I'm glad you made up with your friends!

[mumbling, sobbing]

-Morpe… -[all scream]

Hey, what's going on?

It gets that way when it's really hungry!

Right, Morpeko? Here's a cookie…

Uh-oh.

Guess I dropped 'em.

[all] What?

James, do something, and do something quick!

Right! Morpeko, return, now!

Peko!

[all yelping]

-[expl*si*n] -[Morpeko grunts]

[James and Jessie] We're blasting off again!

[Morpeko] Morpek…

[Ash] We went through a lot, but it was fun, right?

[Goh] Yeah! It's sure was. And I got to catch a Durant!

[Durant] Durant.

[narrator] Ash, Goh, and Chloe found themselves

in an unexpected situation, to say the least!

But their bonds may have deepened a bit more,

as the journey continues!

Morpeko.

[Morpeko munching]

Morpeko.

[Meowth] Man. She was so nice…
