17x10 - Mega-mega Meowth madness!

[bunniefuu]

[instrumental music]

Okay, Cyllage City, you're up next.

Here we come!

- I have an idea! - Huh?

Since we're already here in Lumiose City

why don't we go and visit

Professor Sycamore before we leave?

- That's a great idea, Serena! - Mm-hm.

PIKACHU [AGREEMENT]

SERENA 'Also, ta-da! I baked macarons last night!'

- Whoa! - Oh!

Yummy and pretty too!

Let's share them with the professor.

Yay! Oh, boy, I can hardly wait!

[intense music]

- Huh? What's that? - Amazing. Fascinating.

'It would seem this is Blaziken's Mega Evolution.'

JESSIE 'Mega Evolution? It looks mega-super-strong!'

To refresh our collective memory, our plan is to make

Meowth Mega Evolve and then capture Pikachu.

[AFFIRMATIVE]

Yeah, but is that even possible?

JAMES I've also discovered that Professor Sycamore

is the leading expert on Mega Evolution.

JESSIE So, all we do is we steal his data.

JAMES And program set data into our detailed database.

Dig, now I understand

why we brought that monstrosity with us.

JAMES 'Mega Evolution makes the Mega Meowth.'

'Mega Meowth makes the Mega Team Rocket.'

'Mega Team Rocket makes the whole Mega world its own!'

- 'Run that by me again?' - 'No need! It's Mega-mania!'

[Ash] "Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!"

NARRATOR While traveling in the Kalos region

as Ash works to enter the Kalos League

our heroes have decided to visit Professor Sycamore.

So, you're all traveling together now, eh?

- Sounds like a great plan. - Thanks.

[HAPPY]

Professor, here.

I baked delicious macarons for everyone.

- Mm. Such a sweet treat. - How nice.

I suggest we have a little tea break with those macarons.

I still have a little work to do.

So, I'll have mine a bit later.

SERENA Will you let us see what you're working on?

Of course. Make yourself at home.

SOPHIE Everyone, tea is ready.

Alright, everybody, let's dig in.

ASH Hey, where are the macarons?

- Huh? - Huh?

- Huh? - Where did they go?

- Huh? - 'They were here a moment ago.'

[EATING]

Ah-ha. I knew it was you, Chespin.

Sneaking around again.

ASH So, that's Chespin, huh?

Yes, it's one of three Pokémon new Trainers can choose from.

The three Pokémon are Froakie, who's a water-type.

Fennekin, a fire-type

and the third one is Chespin, who's a grass-type.

Awesome. Chespin's a grass-type.

POKEDEX Chespin. The Spiny Nut Pokémon.

'Chespin can flex the soft spikes on its head'

'making them so stiff and sharp'

'they can even pierce through stone.'

[EMPHATIC]

[DEFENSIVE]

BONNIE 'It's so cute.'

[chuckles] If you wanted macarons

you should have just said so. 'Why don't you share?'

[screams]

[groans]

[INTENT]/[EXERTION]

- Huh? - Huh?

CHESPIN [EXERTION]

SOPHIE I'm so sorry.

- Huh? - Don't worry.

That Chespin is a bit of a prankster.

I've got an idea.

'Let's see what the professor's doing, Bonnie!'

[Bonnie] 'Yeah! Let's go.'

[instrumental music]

Target confirmed.

How's everyone feeling today? [CHEERING]

Alright, are you ready to go through with this, Meowth?

- I'm ready to rock. - Then let's.

ZIGZAGOON PSYDUCK HELIOPTILE [PANIC]

Whoa!

[gasping]

JESSIE Well, if it isn't the good professor.

What are you doing here?

See, Team Rocket needs to borrow you

for a little bit, if you don't mind.

PROFESSOR SYCAMORE 'You! You're that talking Meowth.'

And you're toast.

[screams]

[groans] What is this all about?

You keep your evil hands off the Pokémon!

[Jessie scoffs] You're the one we want.

And you're the one we've got!

'In you go!'

- The catch of the day. - Let's scram out of here!

- Huh? Isn't that.. - Team Rocket.

- Let's go after them. Hmm. - 'Wait for me!'

[CONFUSED]

[DETERMINED]

- Hmm. - Hmm.

- Professor? - Hmm?

You've got to get out of here! Go back!

We'll save you.

Huh? Hey! Open the door!

Open the door!

[gasping]

[SHOCKED]/[EXERTION]

[DETERMINED]

- Serena, what do we do now? - Uh.

[DISAPPOINTED]

ASH Chespin!

PIKACHU [WORRIED] CHESPIN [URGENT]

Where is everyone?

Uh, Professor Sycamore is missing.

Serena and Bonnie too. [URGENT]

Thanks, Chespin. We'll take it from here.

- Oh, no, poor Bonnie. - I know what to do.

Fletchling, I choose you!

[APPEARING]

I'll let Officer Jenny know what's going on.

- Thank you. - Fletchling, follow that truck.

[AFFIRMATIVE]/[EXERTION]

[EXERTION]

[SURPRISED]

ASH What is it, Chespin?

[URGENT]

[EXERTION]

- They're pieces of macarons. - But why are they out here?

Serena wanted us to find them, so, she must have left a trail.

Yeah, you're right!

And if we follow the macaron trail

we'll know where they were taken!

[EXCITED]

[EXERTION]

CLEMONT You're doing great, Chespin!

- Phase one, complete. - No muss, no fuss.

JAMES Right!

- Huh? - Huh?

- How did they get in? - This isn't your truck.

Prepare for trouble!

I'd say you bad people have finally met your match!

And, make it a double crook catch!

- To protect the world from-- - Thieves!

JAMES Copyright infringement! Get away from him!

You let us go now or you're gonna wish you had!

What a pain! You must be a Twerpette!

- 'Out!' - Or you'll wish you had.

[clamoring]

- Mm. - You're in trouble.

Dedenne, use Thundershock, now!

'Hmm?'

[HAPPY]

Look, pal, all we want is your Mega Evolution secret.

Spill the beans and we'll let the bunch of you out of here.

But if you wanna be a dope and say no..

[laughing]

MEOWTH So, start quackin'!

[grunting]

Stop! Alright! You win!

[grunting]

The Mega Evolution data is in my coat pocket.

MEOWTH In here?

Look what I found. A memory card.

[humming]

[panting]

Clemont? Something wrong?

Something terrible has happened.

Oh. Huh.

[DETERMINED]/[EXERTION]

[panting]

[URGENT]

- Huh.. - 'It's Fletchling!'

[EXERTION]

There they are.

PIKACHU [AGREEMENT]

CLEMONT 'So, Team Rocket was behind this after all.'

BONNIE What are you doing?

Stifle your obnoxious Twerpish whining

until our mission is complete.

[EXCITED]

[EXERTION]

BONNIE Hey, what do you think they're doing?

PROFESSOR SYCAMORE They're probably trying to use

my Mega Evolution data for no good.

Huh? Then why did you give them that memory card?

Well, I would have preferred not to

but...keeping you safe is much more important to me.

[CONFUSED]

[PAINED]

[CURIOUS]/[EXERTION]

JAMES And in.

So, after all that do you think this will work?

JAMES Of course, we simply input the Mega Evolution data

into our secret w*apon program and we'll be good to go.

'Downloading.'

MEOWTH 'Hey, this gig is pumpin' me up big time!'

We've gotta get them all out of there!

Now, hold on.

We can't rush them or we'll get caught too.

[EXCITED]/[EXERTION]

Uh.. Aah!

[PANIC]/[PAINED]

- Huh? - Huh?

- It's Chespin! - It's Chespin!

[FRIENDLY]

- That did it. - Huh..

Now, that I think of it, rushing them is a great idea.

Come on. We're gonna get you out of here!

GROUP Who's that Pokémon?

GROUP It's Chespin!

[HAPPY]

JESSIE Well, well, why go chasing after Pikachu

when Pikachu's chasing us?

Let our friends go free, Team Rocket.

Prepare for trouble, you're half right.

That is our name but your friends are stuck tight.

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.

JESSIE Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light.

JAMES Surrender now or prepare for one Mega Evolved fight.

Meowth, that's right!

[AFFIRMATIVE]

- That's how it's done. - Hmm.

- 'Serena, you okay?' - 'Yeah, I'm fine.'

Bonnie, did Team Rocket hurt you?

I'm fine. Don't worry.

- Could you untie me too? - Argh!

We give you our totally awesome motto

and you Twerps give us the brushoff!

[AFFIRMATIVE]

Okay, let's all get out of here!

- That's not going to happen! - Huh?

The mega software's ready to roll, folks!

Excellent, now, we can catch Pikachu

the modern, Mega Evolution way!

- Ready, Meowth? - Thought you'd never ask.

What's that?

Oh, you'll see soon enough.

With our Mega Evolution data inputted

into our secret w*apon program

it's now Mega Evolution times two!

Or, our magnificent Mega-Mega Meowth Machine.

Activating program.

CLEMONT What kind of machine is it?

Meowth, Meowth, Meowth!

Rock and roll!

[growls]

PROFESSOR SYCAMORE Oh, my. Marvelous.

- It looks powerful! - Wow!

I know they're our enemy but that's a super-cool invention.

Stop, this isn't exactly the time

for the two of you to be impressed!

- Right. - Let's get out of here!

Come on, guys.

[screaming]

[rumbling]

[PANIC]

Chespin, no! Huh? Argh! [FRANTIC]

[Clemont grunts]

Chespin, are you okay? [AFFIRMATIVE]

[groans]

I guess you must really like macarons a lot.

[CONCERNED] Yeah, I'm okay. Thanks.

[FRIENDLY]

[laughs] Thank you.

I feel much better.

[HAPPY]

We've got to figure out a way to stop that machine.

My good friends are precious to me

'just like those macarons are precious to you.'

'I've gotta help them.'

Operation Pikachu-Catch, makin' it real!

Alright, Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[screaming]

[PAINED]

[grunts] Pikachu.

This machine can reflect your Thunderbolt

which gives us the mega-upper hand.

No way. There's gotta be something we can do.

[CONCERNED]

[URGENT]

Huh?

[URGENT]

[panting]

CLEMONT What's that?

PIKACHU [STRUGGLING]

Pikachu..

Now, let's make not catching Pikachu a thing of the past.

Talk about a mega-mega blast.

This one's for the Boss!

'We'll hand him the most powerful'

'Pikachu he's ever seen!'

[grunts]

[Ash grunts]

[Clemont panting]

This thing is plugged in. [STRUGGLING]

CLEMONT I see.

Pikachu. Ah.

[panting]

[grunts]

- Oh, no, Pikachu! - Get out of there, Ash!

[grunting]

Huh?

Now, what's wrong?

- Where's the juice? - Some sort of blackout?

- Sure seems that way. - Ah.

[CONFUSED]

[PROUD]

[chuckles]

[growls]

What do I do to fix this thing?

- Turn on the auxiliary power! - -! Extra juice, you're up!

'Connecting power to main engine, now!'

[growls]

I'll say one thing. They're prepared.

[URGENT] Huh?

Hmm. Chespin, use Pin m*ssile.

[PIN m*ssile MOVE]

CLEMONT No use. It's not working.

[EXERTION]/[WORRIED]

Hmm, right! Use Tackle.

[TACKLE MOVE]

It's too strong. You can't beat it.

[chuckles] Thanks.

That kind of tickled a little. [ATTACK]/[PAINED]

Go for it, Chespin! [ENCOURAGING]

Look at it go.

[DETERMINED]

Good idea! You two together.

Pikachu, Quick Attack!

[CONFIDENT]

[ATTACK]

[PAINED]

Keep it up, Twerp Pokémon!

'But you're no match for Mega-Mega Meowth!'

[INDIGNANT]

MEGA BLAZIKEN [ATTACK]

What was that?

[SATISFIED]

- Huh? - Huh?

ASH Check it out.

I remember them.

- Oh.. - Incredible.

MEOWTH 'Uh-oh! Mega Blaziken!'

[groaning]

Use Flamethrower, now! [FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

It's getting warm in here!

[expl*si*n]

[PAINED]

[screaming]

[groaning]

JESSIE It's charbroiled!

Both sides are Mega Evolved.

But the machine got barbecued in one shot!

Now, Pikachu, Electro Ball.

CLEMONT I'm sure your Pin m*ssile will work now, Chespin.

[READY]

[ELECTRO BALL MOVE]

[PIN m*ssile MOVE]

[groans]

Sounds like it's makin' tea.

Mega-Mega Meowth's power core took a direct hit.

Is that the whistling sound of impending doom?

If so, you know what's next.

[expl*si*n]

[screaming]

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

WOBBUFFET [AFFIRMATIVE]

And don't come back.

- We did it, Clemont. - Yeah!

Mega Blaziken was awesome.

PIKACHU [EXCITED]

Chespin and Pikachu were pretty awesome too.

[CONFUSED]

You know what?

I think you deserve a little reward.

Yummy macarons.

[EXCITED]

[REFLECTIVE]/[WARM]

[EXERTION]

BONNIE Yay!

- For me? - Thank you.

- Thanks, Chespin. - Be careful.

CLEMONT Or there won't be any left for you.

[EXCITED]

[instrumental music]

MEYER It's good that Clemont and Bonnie

are traveling with Ash and company.

Strength isn't the only thing Trainers needs for greatness.

Great Trainers also need to forge an important

and lasting bond with their Pokémon.

PROFESSOR SYCAMORE Thank you so much for your help today.

Because of all of you, I'm free again.

Yeah, but still.

Your research lab's messed up again.

PIKACHU [SAD]

Not to worry.

I'll have it all fixed by the time you come to visit again.

- We will, no doubt! - Guess we'd better get going.

- Great to see you again. - Big brother, excuse me.

Hmm? Bonnie, is there something wrong?

Look over there. It's been watching us.

CLEMONT Chespin?

You were a big help, Chespin.

I'm sure that we'll see you soon.

[URGENT]

Huh?

[SAD]

PROFESSOR SYCAMORE 'You know, Clemont, it looks to me like'

Chespin wants to go with you. Hm.

It's an amazing thing to watch the likes of you and Ash

when you're together.

Huh?

- 'Clemont?' - Huh?

I wanna travel with Chespin too.

Please? Please? Please?

[chuckles] Is that okay?

Would you really let me bring Chespin along with us?

Of course.

After all, that's what Chespin wants.

I happen to have Chespin's Poké Ball right here with me.

- It's yours. - Hmm.

So, Professor Sycamore says

it's okay for you to come along with us.

[OVERJOYED]

That's great. Now..

It's a pleasure to meet you all over again.

Yes! Today is a great day, thanks to science!

- I caught a Chespin! - Chespin's a keeper too!

Now, off to Cyllage City!

[EXCITED]

Take care, Professor Sycamore! Bye.

- Bye bye! - Huh?

- Time for adventure! - Goodbye!

[panting]

NARRATOR Our heroes have a new friend in Chespin.

Now, they're off to Cyllage City

where Ash takes his next step

towards entering the Kalos League

as the journey continues.
