NARRATOR Today, our heroes are sailing serenely once again
through the Orange Islands.
But the quiet calm is about to be cracked.
Uh!
[humming]
Wave "Hi!"
[laughing]
- Hey, what's that? - Huh.
What's what?
MISTY 'Looks like a motorboat.'
CHANSEY [EXERTION]
I don't know what it was, but it wasn't a motorboat.
Tracey, did you see what it was?
I sure did! Someone was rowing that boat.
And it looked like Nurse Joy.
ASH/MISTY Wha..
I don't think a Nurse Joy
would be strong enough to row that fast.
You sure it wasn't someone who looked like a Nurse Joy?
Ash, I'm a Pokémon watcher!
I know what I saw and I saw a Nurse Joy!
Well, whoever it was, was sure in a hurry
to get wherever she was going.
Alright, Lapras, let's follow that boat and catch it!
[AGREEMENT]
[screaming]
ASH "The Joy of Pokémon!"
Hmm.
TRACEY 'Just as I suspected.'
'Two sets of footprints.'
'One set belongs to a Chansey.'
The other set belongs to a woman.
She's wearing a sneaker and I'd say
she's about a size seven or so. Hmm.
They left the boat here and headed in this direction.
Hey, Tracey! We better stick together.
Lapras needs to take a rest anyway.
Lapras, return!
Hey! Tracey, wait up!
TRACEY Uh-oh.
Didn't you find them, Tracey?
I followed the footprints out to here
but, then they just stop.
I guess it's easier to follow somebody's footprints
in sand than on stone.
Unless they step in a paint bucket.
[CURIOUS]
MISTY I'm still not sure I believe
the person in that boat was really Nurse Joy.
Now that you mention it, she did seem a lot more muscular
than most of the Nurse Joys I've come across.
- More muscular? - Bigger.
TRACEY I'd say her arms were a good two centimeters
larger in circumference and her shoulders
about a centimeter and a half wider than the average Joy.
- Huh! - Huh!
[EXERTION]
[screaming]
[groaning]
[EXCITED]
Um, that was a close one.
[AGREEMENT]
It's humungous!
[EXERTION]
ASH I've never seen a Magikarp this big before.
MISTY Me neither.
Well, no matter how big it is
all a Magikarp can do is splash, so we're safe.
This thing is totally unbelievable.
Even a really big Magikarp
shouldn't be longer than a meter or so.
'This one's over three meters, that's almost feet long.'
That's giant!
It's gonna run out of air
if it doesn't get back in the water.
Right, Misty, we should help it in.
[AGREEMENT]
Uh..
[STRUGGLING]
But, we can't get near it if it keeps flapping around.
What are we going to do?
JOY 'You better move away from it.'
Huh?
It's not safe to get too close when it's in this condition.
It's upset because it's running low on calcium.
I knew I was right.
It was you who passed us after all!
- Oh! - Oh! Hello, Nurse Joy!
MISTY 'You look a little buffer than the usual Nurse Joys.'
[chuckles]
- Uh! - Huh!
ASH/MISTY/TRACEY Huh?
[EXERTION]
Well, now, how are you feeling today?
Look how she's handling that Magikarp.
But, it was going wild just a second ago.
I think we've got what you need right here.
Chansey, calcium tablets.
[AGREEMENT]
JOY 'Thank you!'
[EXERTION]
That should make things better.
Hmm, alright!
[EXERTION]
- Huh! - Uh!
[splash]
Amazing!
[FOND]
And I feel the same way about you.
Muah.
[FOND]
Bye-bye, now!
[HAPPY]
Nurse Joy must run a Pokémon Center here on this island.
- Maybe, but I bet she doesn't. - Huh?
You and Chansey whizzed by us in a kayak before.
Do you paddle from island to island and treat Pokémon?
We sure do!
Lots of the Orange Islands are way too tiny
to have their own Pokémon Centers.
So, my Chansey and I visit the smallest islands.
And we both do whatever we can to help as many of the sick
and injured Pokémon as we can find.
I knew that was it.
I want to make a quick sketch.
'I'll call this one "Nurse Joy."'
'"The Pokémon's Florence Nightingale."'
That's sweet, thank you.
Nurse Joy, my name's Tracey and I'm a Pokémon watcher.
My name's Misty.
I'm trying to learn
everything I can about Water Pokémon.
And I'm Ash, I'm training to become a Pokémon Master.
[stomach growling] Uh!
Not again!
[HAPPY]
[giggles] Sounds to me like Ash has a healthy appetite.
I have a clinic on this island
so why don't you come along and be my guests for lunch?
You mean for free?
[screaming]
- He means "thank you." - Yeah.
Hmm! Hmm!
Hey, guys, after we finish lunch
why don't we help Nurse Joy check up on the Pokémon?
Good idea, Tracey!
Yeah, I'd love to see how she takes care of the Pokémon.
[HAPPY]
Everything seems to be okay.
Chansey, some vitamins please.
[AGREEMENT]
What a nice Lapras!
[HAPPY]
There's nothing wrong with Lapras, is there, Nurse Joy?
It's still a little tired out
from all the traveling you've been doing
but if you let it rest in it's Poké Ball today
it should be just fine.
Well, that's good news!
[HAPPY]
Nurse Joy, I'd like to thank you
for helping us out by helping you out with the Pokémon.
- So would I. - And me too.
PIKACHU/TOGEPI [AGREEMENT]
That's so nice, why don't we get started then.
ASH/MISTY/TRACEY Great!
Okay, everyone, just follow me.
A nice even pace.
A nice even pace?
Our pace is even but it's only about
a tenth as fast as hers is.
Speed it up or we'll never catch her!
JOY 'Stay right behind me!'
- We're a mile behind! - I can't even see her!
ASH/MISTY/TRACEY Help!
♪ Together forever
♪ No matter how long
♪ From now until the end of time ♪
♪ We'll be together
♪ And you can be sure
♪ That forever and a day
♪ That's how long we'll stay
♪ Together and forever
♪ Oh ♪
Huh!
Well, there's Joy's kayak.
TRACEY 'Wonder where she could be?'
And Chansey's gone, too.
How could they just disappear?
Hey, wait, what if something awful..
TRACEY What if a Gyarados overturned their boat
and they're down below us right now?
What if a Gyarados tries to turn over our boat.
[CONCERNED]
[bubbling]
- Huh! - Huh!
ASH Maybe you're right, Tracey. That looks like Chansey!
It's kind of weird that it isn't moving.
Hmm.
[screaming]
[SURPRISED]
[ANGRY]
- Oh! Oh! - It almost sang!
[HAPPY]
Nurse Joy?
We thought maybe you and Chansey
got att*cked by a Gyarados.
Oh, I'm sorry.
We should've told you
we were going down to treat a sick Cloyster.
ASH Cool!
But the current must've carried us away from our kayak.
If you would, Chansey, please get the kayak.
[AGREEMENT]
When the Pokémon are underwater
how do you treat them down there?
Would you like to come down and see how?
- Yeah! - Yeah!
splash
[WORRIED]
Wow, this is impressive!
Nurse Joy is sure dedicated to helping Pokémon.
Oh!
Huh!
Huh?
Oh, no!
GROUP Who's that Pokémon?
GROUP It's Geodude!
[EXERTION]
That was a close call down there, Ash.
It was my fault, I should have prepared you for it.
That Dewgong was only playing with you.
It loves swimming with humans
and I apologize for not warning you.
- I hope you can forgive me. - Sure!
One person taking care of so many Pokémon is hard enough
but you even have to paddle from island to island.
That's right, your job sure isn't easy.
Wouldn't it be easier to just work in a Pokémon Center
like the other Nurse Joys?
Huh!
I guess it might.
[STRUGGLING]
JOY When I was a little girl
I found a Magikarp that was hurt.
So, I brought it home and took care of it.
[EXERTION]
[HAPPY]
Bye-bye, Magikarp.
I love you!
[gasping]
- Huh! - Oh!
[EXERTION]
JOY The Magikarp that saved me was the same one I'd helped.
That's when I decided to dedicate my life to Pokémon
'especially Pokémon who don't have Trainers'
'to love and care for them.'
Was the Magikarp we saw today the same one that you found?
That's right, and we've been good friends
ever since that day.
Oh!
That's a great story, Nurse Joy.
Huh! You know what?
That proves people and Pokémon can be friends
for their whole lives.
[giggles] You're so right.
Nurse Joy, you're not going back out again, are you?
I've got to make one more stop before I finish my rounds today.
Sorry, Nurse Joy.
I guess I must've thrown you off your schedule.
Oh, it happens all the time.
When you're dealing with Pokémon
you have to expect the unexpected.
But at this time of year you know
what these kind of winds can mean!
You've been in the Orange Islands long enough
to know when it blows like this, a hurricane's on its way!
A hurricane?
It's just too risky to go out there again!
I know how dangerous it can get, Tracey
but there's a group of baby Seel out there
who aren't doing too well
and they're counting on me to help them.
I'll be back in just a little while.
Nurse Joy, please!
Please, just wait until the storm passes!
[EXCITED]
There she goes.
Maybe she'll be, okay.
Tracey, don't you get any ideas about chasing after Nurse Joy!
- It's too dangerous. - Look at that sky.
TRACEY 'And look at that sea!'
If I let Nurse Joy go out there alone
I'd never forgive myself.
- There he goes. - Come on, we're going, too.
I knew you'd say that.
[grunting]
ASH 'Ahoy!'
Huh!
Hey, Nurse Joy!
What're they doing?
[screaming]
PIKACHU [SCARED]
JOY 'Are you all, okay?'
ASH Yeah.
MISTY I think so.
CHANSEY [CONCERNED]
Let out all your Water Pokémon, quick!
There's a little island nearby.
Have them all follow me and I'll paddle there!
Okay!
I choose you, Squirtle!
[APPEARING]
TRACEY 'Go, Marril!'
[APPEARING]
MISTY 'Staryu, go!'
[APPEARING]
[APPEARING]
Thanks, Squirtle.
Marril, I'm counting on you!
[SCARED]
Why did you come out if you can't even swim?
[SCARED]
Well, I guess we caused more trouble than the storm.
[AGREEMENT]
Yeah, and instead of us saving Nurse Joy
she was the one who helped save us.
I apologize, Nurse Joy.
That's alright. You were only trying to help me.
Why don't we all take a little rest
and then we can visit those baby Seel.
- Alright! - Okay!
[Jessie laughing]
There's our Pikachu.
Maybe we should launch a direct as*ault and grab it.
- Ain't that Chansey? - Yes, that's Chansey.
- We'll grab that one too. - Oh!
Well, whatever plan we use, this time I know we're gonna win.
You seem awfully confident today.
Ah, no way we can lose.
Not with the secret w*apon I came up with this time, Jimmy.
- Huh! - What is that?
Let's get out of here!
[screaming]
Oh, no. Are you all okay?
Yeah, but we're totally trapped, and I bet I know who trapped us.
[Team Rocket laughing]
Magikarp?
That's not a real Magikarp
it's Team Rocket's submarine!
Who's Team Rocket?
Prepare for trouble, ahoy!
And make it double, Nurse Joy.
To protect the world from devastation.
To unite all peoples within our nation.
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, light, light.
Surrender now or prepare to fight, fight, fight.
Meowth, that's right!
Well, it looks like we got us a net gain of two Pokémon.
- Lucky us! - Lucky us!
Why can't you leave us alone?
As long as you have Pikachu..
We three to you will stick like glue.
Poesy.
What am I gonna do?
The sick baby Seel are waiting for me.
I may have to get out of here somehow.
If I don't, who knows what'll happen?
[SAD]
Those poor Seel!
Please, please
let something happen to save them.
- Ah! - Huh?
What was that impact?
Did we hit something?
No way. We weren't moving!
[ANGRY]
- Huh! - What's that?
A mammoth Magikarp!
CHANSEY [EXCITED]
Magikarp!
How did it know to come here?
Hah! Let's get rid of it!
We'll whip this Water type weakling!
[ANGRY]/[ATTACK]
[screaming]
[ANGRY]/[ATTACK]
[screaming]
Hey, what am I worried about?
No way our metal Magikarp can lose this match.
[screaming]
It's no good.
That Magikarp's not strong enough
to beat Team Rocket's!
[EXERTION]/[PAINED]
It's no use! Magikarp!
[STRUGGLING]
Huh! What's happening?
[screaming]
It's Gyarados!
It evolved right in front of us.
[ANGRY]/[ATTACK]
[screaming]
Our timing was way, way off.
We got in-volved when it e-volved!
JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Now, we're blasting off again!
- There they go. - Great job, Gyarados.
[ANGRY]
It doesn't look too friendly.
I think maybe we were a lot safer with Team Rocket!
[ANGRY]
[screaming]
It didn't attack us.
It evolved into Gyarados
but it's still got Magikarp's personality.
[PEACEFUL]
Thank you. Thank you so much, my old friend.
That wasn't so bad.
You'll be fine now.
[HAPPY]
Looks like those calcium tablets
and then that tussle with Team Rocket
were just what you needed.
Nurse Joy and Magikarp, I mean, Gyarados
really do get along together, don't they?
They're just picture perfect.
Well, if we all just treated our Pokémon and each other
with the kind of care and love and respect we deserve
'the world would be picture perfect.'
I almost forgot.
You mentioned that you wanted to
become a Pokémon Master, didn't you, Ash?
ASH You bet I do.
Then you should make a stop over at Navel Island.
There's an Orange League Gym there
where you might be able to win a badge.
Navel Island.
Okay. That's where we'll go!
Look out, Orange Island League! Here I come!
[EXCITED]
NARRATOR And so, as our heroes head toward Navel Island
another exciting adventure has come to a close.
But one thing's for sure
a new one is bound to begin.
ASH Don't go away, Pikachu's Jukebox is next.
