01x17 - Big Brother to the Rescue! (Help Us, Big Bro Wanpachi!)

[bunniefuu]

[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]

[gentle music]

[narrator] Here we are in Cerise Park
where, as usual, we find Ash and Goh

looking after all the many Pokémon
living there.

Yamper.

-Hey there, Chloe!
-Hey, what's going on?

Dad asked me to come here.

He wants me to take pictures
of the Pokémon for him.

-[Goh] He asks every so often.
-[Ash] We do it sometimes, too!

[Chloe] I didn't know that!

Pi-ka!

I wonder who to take pictures of next...

[pants]
Yamper! Yamp! Yamp!

Wait. Do you wanna show me where to go?

Yamper.

Wow, Yamper's a big help!

Yamper.

-Eevee.
-Pi-ka.

Let's check it out, too!

Sure!

Yamper, Yamper.

Pi-ka!

Ee... vee.

-Yamper, Yamper, Yamper.
-[grunts]

-[grunting]
-Yamper!

-[grunts]
-Yamper, Yamper, Yamper.

[chitters in wonder]

-Bunnelby. Bun!
-Yamper.

-Yamper.
-[laughs]

Hey, look at Yamper.

Like everyone's big brother!

-[pants]
-Eevee... vee.

-Grookey... Gro. Grookey!
-Huh?

Grookey, where have you been?

Grookey... key-groo.

Grookey... key. Grookey... key... key.

Hey! I think that Grookey lost its stick!

Grookey.

Yamper.
[sniffing]

-[gasps]
-[all] Huh?

Yamper.
[sniffing]

[all groan]

Grookey... roo.

-Pi-ka?
-Yam!

[Pokémon gasp]

[pants]

[all chuckle softly]

Grookey... key... key.

Thanks so much, Yamper!

Doing what a big brother does!

-Grookey... roo!
-Yamper.

Grookey!

-Yamper, you're so sweet!
-[gibbers]

[distant rattling]

-Huh?
-[rattles in distance]

-Yamper!
-What's the matter?

Yamper, Yamper, Yamper.

[Ash] Right! Everybody follow Yamper!

[theme music]

[Chloe] "Big Brother..."

[Ash and Goh] "To The Rescue!"

[groans]

Yamper.
[pants]

[Chloe] Pinsir...

[Ash] What's it doing?

[Goh] It doesn't seem very happy...

[all] Huh?

Yamper?

[Goh] Lilligant and Gossifleur!

[camera shutter clicks]

Something sure smells super sweet!

[all] Ha? Huh?

[Chloe] Who's that Pokémon?

[all] Huh?

Heracross.

[Ash, Goh, Chloe] Heracross?

Of course...

[all] Huh?

[groans]

It seems like Heracross
can't resist Lilligant

-and Gossifleur's sweet smell...
-[gasps]

Didn't something like that happen before?

-Uh-huh.
-Pi-ka.

[groans]

Please don't worry, Pinsir.

I'm sure Heracross'll be back.

[groans]

Yamp.

-Huh? Hey, Yamper, where are you going?
-[Goh, Chloe] Hm?

Yamp, Yamp, Yamp.

[pants]
Yamper.

Yamper? Yamper.

[panting]
Yamper.

[all gasp]

[Goh] Huh? It's Panpour!

Yamper, Yamp.

Pan... pour!

Hera!

Check it out.

Was that supposed to wake it up?

Hera... Heracross.

-Panpour.
-Yamper.

-Hera...
-[Yamper grunting]

Heracro...

Heracro.

[grunts]

[sighs]

[all] Aww.

All better now!

[camera shutter clicks]

Heracross.

[Alcremie humming]

Hera...

-[Ash] Not again...
-[Goh, Chloe] Uh-oh.

Hera!

Heracro...

Heracross!

I hope they're okay...

I think they'll make up pretty quickly.

Hope so.

-Ratta... Ratta... Ratta...
-Yamper?

It looks like Rattata.

What do you think it is this time?

-Ra-rattata.
-Yamper.

[all] Huh?

Pi-ka.

Golurk.

Roggen... rola.

[grunting]

[all grunting]

It's a big fight!

Yamper, Yamper, Yamper.

Yamp! Yamp! Yamp!

[Pokémon grumbling]

Why would they fight like that?

Please stop, okay?

All of you need to stay friends!

Golurk, what exactly happened here?

Go...

[Goh] Oh, this area
is where Pidgey, Rattata,

and the rest of them play.

[Ash] So the Rock type Pokémon
took their spot?

And it looks like
they don't want to give it up.

-Sounds like trouble.
-Yamper.

-Yamp! Yamp! Yamp!
-[Chloe] Yamper?

-[Goh] Again?
-[Ash] Maybe Yamper thought of something!

Lurk?

Yamp! Yamp!
[pants]

-Huh?
-Isn't this place...

-[Rotom Phone beeps]
-I get it!

This is where the Rock type
Pokémon always play!

But look at the water...

[loud screaming]

Pi-ka!

-My ears!
-That hurts!

Mine hurt, too!

-[Bruxish screaming]
-Yamp! Yamp! Yamp!

-Yamp! Yamp! Yamper!
-[Bruxish gibbering]

Is that...

It's Bruxish!

[camera shutter clicks]

Are you saying that sound we heard
came from Bruxish?

Do you think that it's angry
about the dirty water?

Yamper.

Something like that would definitely
scare away any Rock type Pokémon!

-[Bruxish screaming]
-[all grunt]

Come on, Bruxish!

-Knock it off now!
-We've gotta do something quick!

Yeah, but what'll we do?

It's so noisy, I can't think straight!

-[Bruxish screams]
-Yamper?

-[Pikachu groans]
-What, Yamper?

Yamper!
[panting]

Yamper! Yamp, Yamp!

Yamper, Yamp!
[grunting]

[Bruxish screams]

[Ash] Vibrava?

Brava!

-No way...
-You're kidding!

-What now?
-Supersonic!

[all scream]

[Bruxish screams]

-[all yelping]
-[Ash] It's so loud!

Eevee.

-Hang on, it quieted down.
-But why?

It's possible
that Vibrava's Supersonic waves

are canceling out
Bruxish's teeth grinding.

[Chloe] Is that possible?

If a sound wave encounters
an identical sound wave,

they cancel each other out.

When that happens,
you can't hear the sound anymore.

Ha!

Science is so amazing!

Yamper, you were great!

Yamper.
[pants]

But still, we can't quite
call it a day just yet.

[Goh] We have to do something
about that dirty water.

[both] Hm.

Yamper.
[pants]

[Ash] Who's that Pokémon?

[soft upbeat music]

Pi-ka?

[Vibrava] Vibrava.

Pi-ka. Pi-ka.

[quirky music]

-Yamper.
-[all grunt]

-Pi-ka.
-Huh?

-Are you all right, buddy?
-Pi-ka.

[yells]
It's all slimy!

-Look around you, Ash!
-Huh?

-Pika?
-[Goh] It's all over the place!

Yamper, Yamper. Yamper.

Huh. What's going on, Yamper?

Yamp.

-Pyuku...
-[all scream]

Muku...

[Goh] Pyukumuku?

Yamp.

Could this slime be the reason
that the water is so dirty?

I don't think so.

Pyukumuku's slime protects its own body,

so I don't think
that's what's polluting the water.

[Ash]
I'm sure it doesn't like dirty water,

so it got out of the river.

Muku...

So let's keep on investigating.

[Goh, Chloe] Got it!

[Pokémon grunt]

Rattata...

[all gasp]

Look, there's Golurk!

Golurk.

[Pokémon grunting]

Nido.

[yelping]

Oh, man. They're at it again!

Except it looks like it's worse.

Yamp. Yamper.

Yamp. Yamp. Yamp.

[all groan]

Yamp! Yamp!

Yamper! Yamp! Yamp!

At least they've all calmed down...

But we've gotta find out
what the problem is!

-Let's check upstream!
-[Ash, Goh] Got it!

[screams]

[all yell]

Brava.

[grunts]
Brava.

[Ash] I think
Vibrava's getting really tired!

-Let's hurry!
-[both] Right!

Pyukumuku!

We're almost done, so hang in there!

-Let's finish this!
-[Goh, Chloe] Right!

[all panting]

[camera shutter clicks]

Well, I guess we didn't find anything.

[Goh] There weren't any piles of trash

and it doesn't look like any
Poison type Pokémon caused it, either.

[Ash sighs]

-Yamper.
-[Chloe] Yamper?

Maybe it found something!

[all pant]

[sniffing]
Yamper, Yamp, Yamp.

Huh?

Yamp, Yamp.
[pants]

Yamp, Yamp, Yamp.

[all] Huh? It's Grimer!

Grimer?

Why is it in a place like this?

That's why the river got so dirty...

Hey, why don't you come on out, Grimer?

Grimer.

Uh... That means no.

Yamp, Yamp, Yamp.

[panting]

Yamper. Yamper.

[Chloe grunts]

Yamper.

[all gasp]

[Ash] It's out!

Sorry, Grimer.

If you keep staying in there,
the water will be filthy.

Grimer.

I wonder where Grimer lived
before it came out here...

Maybe in one of the caves!

Hm. We'll just make sure
that it gets back there!

-[Chloe] Is this the cave?
-[Ash] Yeah!

This is it.

Grimer likes trash and sludge,
and I suppose it must have

lived inside this cave
so it wouldn't bother anybody else.

-Froakie.
-[Ash] Froakie?

Grimer! Grim...

Froakie.

Look! Froakie!
I wonder what it's doing here...

Froakie... kie.

-Froakie... kie.
-Grimer.

I think I know...

Grimer's been living here a while now,
so maybe it was welcoming Froakie here

by offering its nest.

-Awesome! That is so cool!
-Grimer is such a nice Pokémon!

-Froakie. Froakie.
-Grim... Grim...

-Pi-ka.
-[camera shutter clicks]

[Chloe] Uh, but...

But, wait, what's Grimer going
to do about its nest?

Yeah.

We can't just let it go back
to that cave behind the waterfall.

I know!

[Ash] Let's work together
to build a new nest for Grimer!

[Goh, Chloe] Great!

Yamper.

All right! Are you ready, guys?

Yamper. Yamper.

[Yamper grunts]

We're counting on all of you!

-[all groan]
-Pi-ka!

Yamper.

[all grunting]

[both grunt]

[all screech]

Yamper.

All we've gotta do now
is fill it with water,

and then we'll be done!

What's that?

Suicune.

[Suicune howls]

[rain pattering]

Is it using Rain Dance?

Huh?

[tranquil music]

[all gasp]

[Goh] Ash, look!

-[Ash grunts]
-[Chloe chuckles]

Pyuku... Muku... Pyuku...

Muku... Muku... Muku...

Brava.

[Bruxish screaming]

Bruxish!

[gentle music]

What a nice, gentle rain!

Yeah.

Yamper.

Huh.

[all laugh]

Pi-ka...

See that, Grimer?

That's your brand-new nest!

Grim... er.

Grim...

-Huh?
-Grim!

[yells]

[both laugh]

Grimer... Grim...

-Froa... kie.
-Mer?

Yamper.

Yamper?

[light music]

[all grunt]

[all groan]

-[groaning]
-Yamper.

[howls]

Look at that!

I guess Suicune knew how hard
Yamper was working all along.

-Mm-hm.
-Pokémon are amazing.

That's for sure.

[Yamper panting]

Even when they're far away,
the stronger the emotions,

the stronger their connections.

You know what, Goh?
They know how you feel, too.

I sure hope so.

[both] Huh?

[all] Whoa.

[gentle music]

[all grunt]

[groaning]

Yamper.

[all grunt]

[Goh] Suicune...

see ya.

[upbeat music]

Pyukumuku. Pyuku... Pyuku...

Bruxish.

It looks so relaxed!

Vibrava...
[wings buzzing]

[grunting]

[Chloe] The Pokémon are all back
to their usual play spots.

[Pokémon chittering]

Go...

[Goh] It looks like
everything's back to normal.

All right!

-Pikachu!
-Eevee!

Great work today, Yamper!

-Yamper.
-[camera shutter clicks]

[narrator]
Yamper worked especially hard today

for all the Pokémon in Cerise Park.

It was also able to see Suicune again
after so long,

making it a wonderful experience!

[Ash] The workday is officially over!

[Pokémon grunting]

So, were you able to get
some good pictures?

Yeah. A whole bunch!

And a lot of them are
of Yamper's hard work!

Yamper.
[pants]

[all grunting]

[chimes]

[Rotom Phone]
An official battle has been scheduled.

-Hm?
-Huh?

[Rotom Phone]
Your entrance battle will be against

Raihan, who is ranked eighth
in the Masters Eight.

[Ash] Raihan, huh...

[Goh] What do you mean, entrance battle?

[Rotom Phone]
If Ash wins, he will exchange

ranks with his opponent
and be officially confirmed

as the eighth-ranked member
of the Masters Eight,

who are the strongest Trainers
in the World Coronation Series.

-Wow...
-Hey, you've got this, Ash!

-It's finally here.
-Uh-huh!

[narrator] Ash can feel the excitement
now that he's scheduled to battle Raihan.

But the outcome is still to be decided,
as the journey continues!
