24x33 - Mad About Blue!

[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]

We're in Vermilion City

where Chloe and Eevee are returning home from school.

-[Goh] Chloe? -Huh?

Stop that Pokémon, please?

Me? Stop that thing?

-What do I do? What do I do? -Eevee!

-Voltorb! -[screams]

Vol…

-Yeah, now's your chance, Goh! -Quick!

-Poké Ball, go! -Now's your chance!

Voltorb.

-[warbles] -Pika.

[chimes]

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

-Pika! -[both] All right!

You two really frightened me!

Sorry!

I've wanted a Shiny Pokémon for, like, forever!

[Ash] And blue Voltorb are really rare, right?

Wow, it's such a pretty blue!

Be careful!

Don't mess around with them, or they'll explode!

[man] Blue gets a big like from me!

I'm so very happy!

-I cannot contain my admiration! -[Dewott exclaims]

-Don't do it! -Oh, no.

[laughs]

[expl*si*n]

[man] Ah, I beg your pardon…

That Voltorb is just so beautiful that I felt like it was calling my name!

Oh. And who are you?

Me? My name's Gorman.

I'm from the Kalos region.

You see…

I'm a blue Pokémon fanatic who travels from here to there!

I've come to Kanto for that reason.

Blue Pokémon fanatic?

So that means you really like blue Pokémon?

That's right! So calm and so cool,

and some can produce the hottest of flames!

Really!

And when confronted by their limitless charms,

I find my heart enthralled and filled to the brim!

[Rotom Phone] Dewott. The Discipline Pokémon.

A Water type.

With its swordsmanship that flows like water,

Dewott's skill at using two scalchops results

from long and difficult training.

So that's why your partner is blue.

To tell you the truth, Dewott is the spice of my life!

A life that is seasoned to perfection!

-[laughs] -[gibbers]

So, my young friends…

I feel our meeting here is fate.

Would you care to be blue Pokémon fanatics too?

You mean us?

Fanatics relating to all things blue.

I call it, "do blue"!

Ah…

Sounds like it could be fun!

Let's do it.

-You know, I think I'll pass. -Eevee, vee!

Eevee?

And so, do blue-ers, what do you say?

-[Ash and Goh] Let's go! -[Pokémon chitter]

[theme music]

-[Goh] "Mad…" -[Ash] "…About Blue!"

[Jessie yawns]

[Jessie] Don't you think being down on our luck is getting old?

[James] It's true. If we made a plan with some zoom,

we'd reap rewards without sadness or gloom!

But without some coin to keep us afloat, we're all doomed.

[James] Well, if it isn't the Twerps…

[Meowth] Oy, vey.

Since I've come all the way to Kanto.

I've planned ahead to make sure I don't miss out on a single thing!

Wow, your schedule is packed!

Naturally, we'll start with the blue Pokémon show

at the photo gallery!

Pictures of blue Pokémon the world over!

A must-see for blue Pokémon fanatics!

-[Ash] Oh. -[Team Rocket gasp]

[James] A blue Pokémon fanatic…

[Meowth] There's a hobby for everything, huh?

-Oh. This might just be our big chance! -[grunts]

Don't superfans love to spend every last cent

on the superfan-ish things they like?

So, if we think along those lines…

We can rake in all the dough we need!

Wobbuffet.

[Gorman] I like! I like! A storm of likes!

This show just might use up my entire supply of likes!

There's nothing but photos of blue Pokémon.

It's kind of overwhelming.

Vol…

-Voltorb. -Pika?

-What's up, Pikachu? -[Goh] Mm?

Grookey.

Vol…

-Grookey. -Pika.

-Let's go see! -Okay.

No, no, mes amis!

Viewing these is a once-in-a-lifetime event!

You must take your time facing each!

So this is how to "do blue"?

What's he mean by facing?

Look at them long and hard, with imagination!

Look here at this Brionne.

It's a beautiful placid blue, isn't it?

It dances a lot since that's its specialty.

But I'm drawn to the look in its eyes.

A brooding, thoughtful look.

[Gorman] Could it be that though it was searching,

it could not find a reason to dance?

Then, one day, such worries caused it to stumble.

Brionne.

[grunts]

[Gorman] Fear not, young one!

Brionne?

[Gorman] It is wild, so naturally, it will not trust me initially.

But I am not a fool who preys on the weakness of others!

And it will eventually realize that I'm here to help.

You now have the strength to carry on alone.

Farewell.

Brionne.

[gasps]

Bri… Brionne.

[Gorman] Brionne!

From then on, Brionne has showed me its wonderful dance every single day,

as I look on with appreciation.

And that's how a life-long friendship begins with a wonderful encounter!

[Chloe] What are you doing?

Wow, he got all of that from one picture?

That's some superfan imagination.

[Bluto] Not nearly good enough!

Your expression of imagination isn't even close to enough!

You're imposing your own desires, refusing to see the true Brionne!

[Gorman] Bluto, how dare you say something like that?

[both grunt]

Wait. You think they know each other?

That guy brought a blue Pokémon too.

[Rotom Phone] Meowstic.

The Constraint Pokémon. A Psychic type.

The male Meowstic has defensive talents,

and when protecting itself or its partner,

can produce power of the highest level.

Stop making false accusations!

[Bluto] No, I can tell!

Those are the eyes of a Brionne that is wishing to become stronger!

It's possible that's a Pokémon who had its home, its way of life,

unjustly taken away!

Bri… Brionne.

[grunting]

[Bluto] Weep not!

Is that all your ambitions mean to you?

Brionne?

Come with me!

Your frustration will be the springboard that makes you stronger!

Brionne!

[Bluto] Reach your limit and step beyond it!

Brionne.

-Brionne! -[Bluto] Concentrate! Become Primarina!

And at the end of your intense training…

Bri…

Magnifique, you've done it.

Wait, just a minute!

Its blue is way too dark!

Primarina would be way better in Brionne blue!

But it's much better this way.

Primarina's blue is a blue of fervor!

Don't you agree, young blue Pokémon fanatic?

-[Chloe] Huh? You're asking me? -[Goh] Hm?

Because there's blue on your clothes?

No way!

This is a standard school uniform!

-[Jessie] Your attention, please! -[all] Huh?

Might there be any guests here

who still haven't had enough of blue Pokémon?

[both] Enough blue?

-Ta-da! -Wobbuffet.

[both] Oh, my!

A flat, yet glossy hue!

I've never seen such a Wobbuffet!

Could this be true?

One in a hundred?

No, one in a thousand?

What would you say to a keepsake photo of you with this Wobbuffet?

-Huh! -Huh! I'll print it life-size!

Just the data!

I'll put it under my pillow and dream!

I'll talk to it when I'm lonely!

I want it printed on my T-shirts!

-Good as done! -[both] All right!

Wo… bbuffet!

-Where are you going? -Will you slow down?

-Oh… -That's too bad.

It ran away, and it's totally your fault!

You're the reason that one-in-a-thousand Wobbu…

[Pokémon chittering]

Such beauty…

[all] Huh!

[expl*si*n]

[grunting] Oh, why does he always have to appear?

I've crossed paths with him before, but whenever I say right, he says left!

If I point up, he points down!

He criticizes every single thing I do!

I guess fans have their own problems too.

When they like something, they get very particular.

But my blue nervousness ends right now!

-Huh? -And that means…

I want this trip to be lots of fun!

I'll throw my time with him down the toilet and flush it away!

-[Ash] Down the toilet? -Now let's go!

More blue thrills await as we speak!

Have fun and do blue!

[Ash and Goh] Do blue!

[chuckles awkwardly]

[Jessie] You didn't have to run away, for pity's sake!

[James] Precisely!

After all, your blue is all the rage!

[Wobbuffet whimpers]

It sounds like it got scared worse than anything

it ever got scared of before.

I agree they did come on very strong.

But, they're gone! It's not like they turned you green.

-Wob… Wobbuffet. -[Jessie] Excuse me?

It was really that bad?

What can we do?

Guess we're gonna have to repair this all by our lonesomes.

[all groan]

[Ash] Who's that Pokémon?

Pika?

Dewott!

Pika, pika!

[Gorman] This is our next goal!

[all gasp]

[Ash] Everything's blue!

Every inch of the place!

The owner is also a blue Pokémon fanatic, so he combined them!

[Pokémon chitter]

[all laugh]

Wow. They didn't miss a thing!

[chuckles] I could get used to this theme!

You do know how I feel…

Barista! The usual!

Coming up.

[both gibbering]

[all chuckle]

It's blue juice from the special menu!

In this special place,

you can watch blue Pokémon as you taste blue!

It's the very essence of do blue!

[gulping]

Oh, yeah!

[Bluto laughs]

Not nearly enough!

You don't put in the effort!

[Goh] I know that voice!

Ah, it's you!

So we meet again.

[Dewott grunts]

[meows]

You pretend to be a blue fan, but your prep isn't nearly enough!

Wow! Do you see what he's eating?

[Bluto] They're Crazy Blue Pancakes, sold only for a limited time!

Pancakes made with Yache Berries kneaded

into the batter, topped with Oran Berry cream!

Made for blue Pokémon fanatics by fanatics!

They can only be ordered in advance by reservation.

So forget about today.

What a bold choice!

For run-of-the-mill blue Pokémon fanatics.

-[Bluto] What? -Thanks for waiting, sir.

What's that?

[Gorman] A dish from a secret menu known only by the wait staff!

A sweet-and-sour open-faced sandwich made from bread soaked

in raw Kelpsy Berry juice!

The Raw Kelpsywich!

[munching]

Wow!

Its simplicity means you never get tired of it,

so those in the know have been ordering this delicacy forever!

De… Dewott.

Ha! I'd rather eat this tasty dish than rely on a barista's taste in food!

Meowstic.

[all grunting]

[munching]

There they go again.

They could just relax and enjoy it.

This is a tasty dish!

[grunting] What have I done?

I was so happy to be here, now I don't remember how it tastes!

Things sure heated up fast, huh?

I wonder why Bluto keeps on coming to the same places…

I actually understand how he feels.

-Hm? -Hm?

When you love something like he does, you tend to get quite particular about it.

I think that I'd want to be able to enjoy it with someone.

Me too.

[Gorman] Now for candy everyone wants!

Candy?

I mean the next do blue point!

This is the balm that will soothe any person

whose frayed nerves are on edge!

-Take a look at this! -[all gasp]

Vani…

[female narrator] After coming such a long way,

the cool Vanillite fell in love at first sight with a suave Frogadier.

And their tale became the basis for a delicious candy!

Marine House's super-blue flavored Marble Candy!

There isn't a blue Pokémon fanatic who doesn't know this commercial!

And this is where they filmed it!

You're now standing on this infamous spot!

[Chloe] Wow. I never knew.

They had the good sense to choose two blue Pokémon

to represent their marbled candy!

We're past blue likes and at the beginning of the blue-tiful like!

-[Bluto] Not enough! -[Gorman grunts]

I really didn't want to get involved,

but you just don't understand it.

Again?

How could we expect more?

[Gorman] You dare mock such a wonderful commercial?

Not that.

But there's only one blue Pokémon appearing in that commercial.

Frogadier! Why, you may ask? Because Vanillite is a white Pokémon!

White Pokémon?

True! Vanillite is a white Pokémon, and the shadowy parts only look blue!

Mistaking it for a blue Pokémon is a shame!

Objection!

My question is to ask whether there are other Pokémon

with a similar transparent color counted as blue Pokémon!

[all grunting]

[Ash] Hmm.

Is Vanillite blue or white?

Tough question. That's for sure.

[groans]

[Jessie] There you are!

-We've been searching for you! -[all] Huh?

[all laugh]

[both] That cute Wobbuffet from before!

[both laugh]

[Meowth] Wobbuffet on the outside, Meowth on the inside!

[both] Hmm.

Something doesn't look quite right.

This Wobbuffet seems different.

[James and Jessie] Are they onto us?

[Meowth] Then prepare to be charmed without using my Charm!

Wobbuffet!

[Meowth grunts]

[both] Hmm.

No! Are you feeling poorly, my dearest, my darling Wobbuffet?

-[laughs] -Uh…

[Jessie] Excuse us!

[all gasp]

[grunting]

Cut it out!

Why are you always getting in my do blue way?

Your way? I wish you'd stop hanging around me so much!

I wonder why those two keep on running into each other…

[gasps] Could it be that

they have the same itinerary?

What are you talking about?

Remember what Gorman said?

Since I've come all the way to Kanto,

I've planned ahead to make sure I don't miss out on a single thing!

That makes a lot of sense,

since both of them are obviously blue Pokémon fanatics.

It's no surprise their plans wind up being the same.

[both] No way!

[beeping]

-[both] Huh? -[Ash] What's that?

[both] "Marine House's super-blue flavored Marble Candy

is putting a fifth-anniversary plush on sale and supplies are limited.

Catch it now!"

Not you too?

On this infamous spot?

You're already going to buy it?

[both grunt]

[both yelling]

[Ash] Where are they going?

[Goh] It looks like Chloe was right on target.

Let's go!

[Pokémon chitter]

[clerk] Please don't do that!

Sirs!

[Ash] Is this it?

[Bluto and Gorman] Let go of it!

You see, this is the only one we have left in stock!

Just like real shoppers.

I'm taking them home!

They want to come with me!

Stop it! If you keep tugging that way…

[Bluto and Gorman grunt]

That is not good.

You tore these two beauties apart.

How could you be so atrocious?

Those two really can't seem to get along, can they?

But if they take that extra step, I think they can become friends.

I don't get any of this.

Then again, they've come this far.

I've made my choice.

I challenge you, fool!

I challenge you!

[crackles]

I guess we're just going to have to watch.

[Chloe and Ash] Hm.

[Gorman] Do you understand the rules?

[Bluto] The loser gives up do blue forever and returns to Kalos.

-That's not necessary. -Pika…

But I kind of want to see how this one ends.

-A battle between two stubborn superfans. -[Pokémon chittering]

Hm?

[both grunt]

A blue Pokémon Competition…

[Bluto] Let's go!

[both grunt]

It's a double battle!

[all gasp]

-Dewott. -Meowstic.

[light suspenseful music]

[all] Hmm.

[both] Hmm.

-What do you think they're doing? -[gasps]

They could be guessing which Pokémon it is.

What do you mean?

Like when you see blindfolded judges guess what food they're eating.

You're kidding!

No one could tell what--

Sky blue Nidorina, and a horizon blue Phanpy!

-[gasps] -Wow!

An aquamarine Seismitoad.

Ultramarine Croagunk too.

-They both got them right! -Yeah.

Talk about superfans!

Hey, not too bad!

You could've done worse.

But the next time…

-[Pokémon grunting] -[both] Huh?

[Pokémon continue grunting]

-Eevee! -No! Grookey!

What's going on?

Prepare for trouble, and bathe in the deep blue.

And make it double while we stage a blue coup!

To protect the world from devastation!

To unite all people within our nation!

To denounce the evils of truth and love!

To extend our reach to the stars above!

-Jessie! -And James!

Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!

Surrender now or prepare for an indigo fight!

Meowth!

That's right!

[Team Rocket] Mm?

[all] Wobbuffet! Wobbuffet!

Oh.

Without Wobbuffet's tagline…

It's just not the same!

This is all your fault!

Who, us?

Who are you guys anyway?

[Ash] They're bad guys who steal other people's Pokémon!

[both] That's awful!

See, we decided to keep it real and go back to the basics, dig?

If we offered up the Twerp's Pikachu along with the superfans'

beautiful blue Pokémon to the Boss as a net set…

We'll certainly get a credit card without limits!

James, use that mojo you know!

But of course!

All with one net!

Quick, Meowstic, Disarming Voice!

[vocalizing]

[all yell]

Dewott! Help those Pokémon!

Dewott!

[grunting]

[Pokémon screaming]

[all grunting]

[groans]

Hey, thanks a lot, Dewott!

Meowstic, use your psychic power to reel those crooks in!

Meowstic…

[screaming]

[all grunting]

[Team Rocket screaming]

[Team Rocket yelping]

To threaten to even lay a finger on our blue Pokémon…

Your actions will weigh heavy on your hearts!

[both chuckle]

Before, they couldn't stand each other.

This could be a step forward!

No more Mister Nice Crook now…

[Jessie and James] All right, come on down!

[Pelipper singing]

[both] Look, it's a "like blue!"

[Pelipper whimpers]

Come over here, cute little Pelipper!

-Come over here! -Yes, come to me!

Down here!

[Pelipper whimpers]

[Pelipper singing]

[Team Rocket] Where's your loyalty?

[Pikachu grunts]

Go, Pikachu!

Use Thunderbolt!

[grunting]

[all scream]

[Team Rocket] We're blasting off again!

Wobbuffet!

-All right! -Pika.

-[Goh] Hm? -[Bluto gasps]

-[phones beeping] -What? Again?

-Oh, no! -It's that time!

Time for what?

There's an event for that famous Marble Candy

in the next town over!

If we don't hurry, the best spots will be taken!

Right, so I have to go too, which means we must part! Bye!

[Gorman] Be sure to live a great blue Pokémon life!

Wait for me!

-There they go. -Pika.

Do you think those two will wind up being friends in the end?

Good question.

-[all laugh] -Pika?

[narrator] There are as many kinds of fascinations

as there are people and Pokémon.

And so, after meeting the blue Pokémon superfans,

our heroes' world has grown just a little bit bigger,

as the journey continues!

[closing theme music]
