22x30 - Spying For The Big Guy!

[bunniefuu]

[squeaks]

[Stufful squeaks happily]

[squeaking]

[Bewear squeaks]

Well, then. It's show time.

-Ready for business?

-[all] Yeah!

[alarm whirring]

[all] Hmm?

-[Jessie] What?

-[James] I think it's, uh...

It's Headquarters on the horn!

[all yelping]

[sighs]

What is all of this commotion about?

How unsightly.

-The pot calling the kettle black!

-Now, now, happy place.

I have a message for you from Giovanni.

[all] From the Boss?

It's time for you to send the Bewear

you caught in Alola over to headquarters.

[all gasp]

Please, your panic is not helpful

or desirable.

-[Jessie] But it's appropriate.

-[James] We haven't caught it yet.

[Meowth]

But we told them we caught it, lugheads.

Are we to assume you caught only one?

No, you've got it all wrong.

There! A Bewear! Extra-extra large.

And may I say,

Bewear's incredibly strong as well!

Wobbuffet!

See, there are so many new Pokémon...

[all yelping]

I told you your actions

are quite unsightly.

[meowing]

What do you mean, “Just shut up

and send the Pokémon, or else”?

It's only a matter of time

before we watch your stuck-up self suffer!

We'll knock it out of the park and knock

you off of your prima donna pedestal!

You've got a happy place too.

You know, your plan

is easier said than done.

[Matori] Giovanni also gave you a warning.

If you refuse to carry out

his instructions,

then retrieving Bewear

will have to be carried out with force

by none other than me.

[all] Huh?

[Matori] See you in Alola.

[all groaning]

-[Jessie] “See you in Alola”?

-[James] In case we don't cooperate.

[Meowth] She wants to bag Bewear?

She doesn't know a thing about Bewear.

[Wobbuffet moans]

[all] Right.

[narrator] Well, then,

how will Team Rocket deal with this?

[Ash] Spying for the big guy!

[squeaking and giggling]

[both snoring]

Alola.

[all] Alola!

[Kukui] How nice.

Your Z-Rings are all

glistening brilliantly,

just like a Searing Sunraze Smash.

I've been doing a lot of research

on how to initiate Z-Moves.

That sounds amazing.

Huh? Why, thank you.

Snowy and I are working hard so we can use

Subzero Slammer. I can't wait.

-Mm-hm.

-[Mallow] I can't believe it.

Just the thought that I'm even wearing

a Z-Ring right now.

But using a Z-Move?

I can't imagine that at all.

Oh, I know you'll be able to do it.

So, Mallow, Sophocles, Lillie.

[Kukui] How about practicing

all of your Z-Move poses today?

[all] Great!

-What about us? What'll we do?

-Whoa, settle down.

But the Alola Pokémon League is coming.

And I wanna get a whole lot stronger

before it does.

-Me too.

-Me too.

Let's see. It might just be a good idea

to practice how you want to use Z-Moves

in your battle strategies.

I like it.

Practicing using Z-Moves?

[all] For strategy?

Using a powerful tool like a Z-Move?

It might just be the factor

that determines

whether you end up victorious or not.

And you will need to determine

which Z-Move to use with which Pokémon.

Also, if you own multiple Z-Crystals,

you have to decide

which Z-Move will be the most effective,

among other things.

As a Trainer,

you have countless details to think about

so you can make the right decision.

[all gasp]

That's it. Sounds exciting, right?

[all] Way exciting!

[Kukui] All right, then.

Let's get out to the schoolyard and train.

[all] Yeah!

[Stufful squeaks happily]

-Well, bombs away.

-Boom, boom.

Think it'll go in?

Well, we've all been camping out together

for quite a while now.

Maybe getting caught by us will feel

as natural as falling off a cliff.

Maybe, or not. The fates will decide.

-Don't blow the throw.

-Wobbuffet!

All right. Arm, don't fail me now!

[crunches]

[all scream]

-Looks like the fates are not amused!

-I'd say it's crushing it too!

[all screaming]

What's the use?

Even if we did catch Bewear,

we couldn't just ship it off

to Headquarters.

-[James] Point taken.

-[Jessie] Not just Bewear.

Mimikyu too.

Or Mareanie.

[screeches]

[whimpering]

[squeaks]

Stufful stays put too.

[Wobuffet babbles]

Now tell me where Bewear is immediately.

-[Jessie] That was quick.

-[Meowth] Being mean makes you fast.

[Wobuffet babbles]

-[Mimikyu grunts]

-[Matori] Hmm?

[grunting]

Hmm.

Mm-hm. Hmph. [yells]

[panting]

[whimpers]

[grunting]

-[screaming]

-[all] Hmm?

Huh?

-Hmm.

-[growls]

[all panting]

[rustling]

[screaming]

[gasps]

[all gasp]

[thuds]

[groans]

-[coughs]

-[gasps]

[thudding]

[squeaks]

Quite impressive. Astonishing

physical powers, don't you think?

[meows]

All right, hand it over. Right now!

[whimpers]

-Well, the trouble is...

-What trouble?

-We aren't prepared, you see.

-Prepared?

For trouble on the double.

-[Matori] What trouble?

-[whimpers]

-[all] We can't.

-[Wobbuffet babbles]

[meows angrily]

Complain all you want,

but when we say we can't, we can't.

Why not?

Uh, because...

we're actually in the middle of a plan

to catch a super-primo Pokémon.

An incredible Pokémon that anyone

with wealth and taste would treasure.

One look at this Pokémon,

and the Boss will never stop thanking us.

-[stuttering]

-[Jessie] Right.

In order to catch that primo Pokémon,

we'll need Bewear's help.

Very well.

[both sigh]

[Matori] However...

-A catch?

-A catch?

...I'll be keeping my eye on you

to make absolutely certain

you catch this incredible Pokémon.

If you don't succeed,

I'm going to leave immediately

and take Bewear with me,

so keep that in mind.

That's fine with me. Watch all you want.

You just keep those beady little eyes

of yours peeled on us

as we dispense our unique brand

of Alola region evil wizardry.

[both grunting]

[both] Hmph!

[Meowth] So this is the Pokémon School.

[Matori] Housing all of the incredible

Pokémon you talk about?

[Jessie] Right. One is a tiny thing,

but it eats our robots

with a voracious appetite.

[James] Another accomplished a rare

Evolution that isn't even in the Pokédex.

[Meowth] Not to mention that

power-packed Pokémon, Pikachu.

[all] It'll shock you

like there's no tomorrow!

Wobbuffet!

-[Matori] Oh?

-Meowth.

[both grunting]

Hmm.

[both grunting]

Hmm?

[both grunting]

Hmm.

-[James] What? Z-Moves?

-[Jessie] Since when did those twerps

get their grubby little hands

on those Z-Rings?

[Meowth] A twerpy triple Trainers'

worth of Z-Moves

is not good news!

-[grunts]

-[whimpers]

[whimpering]

[Jessie and James]

We could be off with an unfair blast.

I'm so outta here!

[all screaming]

[all] Who's that Pokémon?

[all] It's Heracross!

Heracross!

-[Jessie] Not one Z-Move!

-[James] But three Twerpish ones!

-[Meowth] I'm history!

-[meows]

-[Meowth] You think it'll be fine?

-[meows]

[Meowth] It's obvious that you don't have

a clue about just how scary a Z-Move is!

[meows]

What do you mean we're the ignoramuses?

Settle down and have a closer look.

-[all] Hmm?

-[Wobbuffet babbles]

[Jessie] I'm not seeing any full-power

glowy stuff that usually happens.

-[James] Comforting.

-[Meowth] I'll take it.

Take a look at that Z-Ring.

[all] Hmm?

[Meowth] Huh? It doesn't have a Z-Crystal!

All right. Excellent, you three.

Your Z-Move poses are looking wonderful.

Thanks. Little by little, we're getting

more and more in sync. Right, Snowy?

[squeaks]

[Sophocles] Remember, the accuracy

of a pose is important too. Right?

[grunts]

I think it would be pretty if we stretched

out and reached for the sky, do you?

Tsarrena!

[all groaning]

[Matori] Oh, good grief.

As a member of Team Rocket,

the least you can do is stay cool, calm,

and collected,

and try to make intelligent decisions.

[Jessie] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Sorry we're not "cool,

calm, collected, or intelligent."

Although if you ask me,

I think we're pretty cool.

[Ash] All right, we're gonna give it

everything we've got!

Pikachu, use Corkscrew Crash!

Pika!

[shouts excitedly]

[all] Huh?

[crashes]

[all] We're blasting off again!

Wobbuffet!

Are you sure there's an incredible

Pokémon up ahead?

[meows]

What do you mean you can't count

on us losers as far as you can throw us?

All right, fellow team members.

Let's catch the mostest amazingest

Pokémon that ever amazed the amazed.

-Right!

-Righty-o!

[James] This is the aforementioned

Pokémon's territory.

[giggles]

A-catching we will go.

-[roaring]

-[all] Huh?

And right on cue.

James, show us our grand prize.

With pleasure.

There. Your favorite.

Haban Berries. Drampa.

[Matori] Drampa?

[James] When Drampa gets angry,

it destroys the surrounding area

with its blast-wave breath.

A super-powered Pokémon

that's very much feared indeed.

[Meowth] We once got a ringside-seat taste

of that power firsthand.

And trust me, it wasn't pretty.

I see. Quite impressive.

-[growling]

-Oh?

[munching]

-Bingo.

-Payback time.

[Meowth] And feeding time

at the just desserts café.

Let's see

how capable they are of catching it.

Meowth.

Come on out, Mimikyu.

[Mimikyu grunts]

[Drampa growls]

[grunts] Hey, Mimikyu, wait.

Same old song. If Pikachu's not on the

battle docket, Mimikyu couldn't care less.

[James] Change of plan.

Mareanie, come on out!

[screeches]

[all screaming]

[James groans]

-[both chuckle]

-Meowth.

Oh, good grief.

[grunts] Here, James.

Just watch this, bob-cut glasses goon gal.

[James] I'm on it.

[clicks]

Mareanie, off we go.

[screeches]

[grunts]

Three linked together in spirit.

Time to show them the works.

[all] Our Z-Move extravaganza!

Mareanie.

Wobbuffet!

-Ta-da!

-Launching a Black Hole Eclipse.

-[Meowth] Yeah!

-Wobbuffet!

[screeches]

-What? Wait, it's...

-[whimpers]

-Stufful. No way.

-Way?

-[Bewear screaming]

-[all] Huh?

[thuds]

[all yelps]

[all] That was fast!

We're off with a new blast!

Wobbuffet!

Uh...

[groans]

[meows]

Meowth.

[squeaks]

Uh, what is it?

[squeaks]

[gasp] What do you want?

-[thuds]

-[grunts]

[thuds]

[both gasp]

[both chuckling happily]

Huh? [grunting]

What was that for?

[Meowth] See, that's the way

Bewear welcomes its guests.

-Mm-hm.

-[Wobbuffet babbles]

You were welcoming us?

[thuds]

[muffled grunting]

[all snoring]

[Stufful snoring]

If we can catch that Stufful...

[meows]

...it will evolve into a Bewear. You see?

That's the way to make a cool, calm,

and collected intelligent decision.

[snoring peacefully]

[both snoring]

[groans]

[grunts]

[groans sleepily]

Huh?

[Wobbuffet babbles]

Big trouble!

[Meowth] Matori just kidnapped Stufful!

-What?

-What?

She probably wants

to bring it back to the Boss!

-So where's Bewear?

-Not here.

[Meowth]

We've gotta get Stufful back, stat!

You know what'll happen.

I can hear her now.

"So you want Stufful back.

You must also want me to report that you

have completely betrayed Giovanni, right?"

She's so predictable.

The only thing she does well

is gum up the works.

-What do we do?

-[Wobbuffet babbles]

[James] There's got to be a way

to get us out of this mess. Think!

[all] Hmm.

-[Jessie] Bob-cut glasses goon gal!

-Huh?

[groans]

[Jessie] Oh, sorry.

I was thinking of a different goon gal.

I meant Matori.

You came all this way to send us off?

How thoughtful of you.

Now come on, please.

How could you leave your fellow teammates

without saying bye-bye?

Headquarters contacted me a bit earlier

and told me that I needed to return

without delay.

You were sleeping so soundly,

I didn't want to wake anybody up.

Meowth.

You should have just woken us

all up anyway.

But I guess if it's an order

from Headquarters,

there's nothing else you could've done.

I do understand.

Bye. Please give the Boss our regards.

Hmm. All right, then.

-See you.

-Meowth.

[Jessie chuckles]

[chuckling]

Hmm.

[whirring]

Well, that's a relief.

But still, I'm sure Giovanni

will be pleased with this.

-[gasps] How in the world?

-Meowth!

[James] Think he'll be all right?

We're talking Meowth.

I'm sure he'll figure something out.

-[Wobbuffet babbles]

-[squeaks]

[imitating Stufful]

-"Stufful. Stufful."

-Meowth.

What did you do with Stufful? Answer me.

"Stufful."

The time for tricks is way past over.

-[whimpering]

-[groans]

[meows angrily]

[Meowth] Yikes!

Hmm?

[grunting]

[Bewear screams]

[gasps]

-It's Bewear!

-Meowth!

[squeaks]

[crew yelps]

-[whimpering]

-Meowth.

[all screaming]

So cool.

[bangs]

[squeaks]

[Stufful squeaks]

[Meowth] Peace and quiet.

I don't think I was ready

for that kind of excitement.

So no more trouble.

Hear, hear. Make that double.

[Wobbuffet babbles]

I wonder, what do you think happened

to Matori?

Yeah.

Yeah.

[sighs]

[Mimikyu grunts]

[Wobbuffet babbles]

[narrator] It appears that Team Rocket,

Bewear, and Stufful

will continue living together.

The question is

whether it'll be happily ever after,

as the journey continues.

[device beeping]

[whirring]

- Scheduled update.

-[yells]

-[screaming]

-Meowth!

[crunches]

[Stufful squeaks]
