14x03 - A Sandile Gusher of Change

[bunniefuu]

(narrator) Continuing his quest for Unova region Pokemon

and his journey to become a Pokemon Master

Ash now heads for his first Unova region Gym Challenge

in Striaton City

accompanied by a girl named Iris.

So, why are you coming along with me anyway?

Excuse me, but it's not that I'm coming along with you

it's that you're coming along with me, get it?

- Oh, please. - Pika.

- It's true. - Axew.

Hmm.

Man!

Excuse me!

Excuse me!

Ugh!

No you don't!

[both grunting]

Who said you could walk in front of me?

- No one! - Look..

I figured since you don't know the Unova region

I'd help you out.

But what do I get for trying to be a little bit nice?

Obviously not even a thank you.

I don't remember you asking me

if I wanted you to come along.

Sure. Go ahead and act like a tough guy.

- Axew. - You're such a kid.

Oh, yeah? Well, you're such a kid, too.

You've got some nerve saying that to me!

[growling]

- Huh? - Pika.

Oshawott.

(Ash) "A Sandile Gusher Of Change!"

Osha-Osha!

- Oshawott. - It's you.

- Pika. - Oshawott.

Oshawott!

I remember.

[grunts]

- Huh! - Huh!

Osha!

Oshawott. Oshawott.

(Pokedex) Oshawott. The Sea Otter Pokemon.

Oshawott attacks and defends using the scalchop

that can be removed from its stomach.

Thanks for helping us out back there.

Osha.

But, I don't understand

what you're doing here now?

- Osha, Osha! - Pika.

Pika. Pikachu.

- Huh? - Pika, Pi. Pika, Pika, Pikachu.

Wow, so you were following us?

Oshawott. Oshawott.

You're so cute. And you were following me.

If your skin were any softer and your cheeks any squishier

I couldn't stand it.

Oshawott.

Of course, since it's obvious that can't live without me.

I promise I'll keep you as my very own Pokemon.

- Huh? - Oshawott.

- Wott, wott, wott.. - What?

- Osha, Oshawott, Osha. - Uh?

- Pi. - Unh. What's going on?

- Pi! - Unh!

Pikachu!

Pika!

Osha! Oshawott!

Osha-Oshawott! Oshawott!

Are you saying you like Ash?

Osha-Osha-Oshawott.

Pikachu!

[screaming]

[groaning]

[laughing]

What was that for?

Osha-Oshawott.

Hey, Ash, I'm starting to get the feeling

this Oshawott would like to be caught by you.

Yeah?

Oshawott. Osha!

What do you know.

Well, since you really helped us

out with Team Rocket, do you want to come along with us?

Osha-Osha-Oshawott.

Pika-Pika.

[grunts]

Okay, Oshawott! Go, Poke Ball!

Osha!

Oshawott?



What's up with the Poke Ball bouncing off

of Oshawott's head like that?

Oshawott.

Wait a minute! Are you?

Up next, here's Oshawott. A Water-type.

Oshawott.

Are you the Oshawott from Professor Juniper's lab?

- Pika? - Osha, Oshawott, Oshawott..

Then I guess that would mean Oshawott's Poke Ball's

got to be back at the Professor's lab as well.

Mm-hm.

(Juniper) 'That's where Oshawott went.'

I was so worried since Oshawott left without letting me know.

Yeah. Looks like Oshawott's been following us.

Well, Ash, if it would be too much of a bother

maybe you could take care of Oshawott from now on.

[chuckles] Wow, you don't mind?

No, of course not. I'll send you its Poke Ball right away.

Thanks! Got it.

And, Ash, since Oshawott has a tendency

to disappear, keep an eye out.

Thanks! See you soon.

- Huh? - Huh?

- It's gone. - Pika.

[panting]

This is nuts. Where could Oshawott have gone?

Pika.

Well, I guess I'll just have to help you look around.

Hmm. I can do it myself, thank you.

Now, since we're both Pokemon Trainers

you don't have to go around acting

like a little kid, you know.

- Let's go, Pikachu. - Pikachu.

Uh-huh. Hey, wait a minute!

Stop being so stubborn!

[screaming]

[groaning]

That hurts.

What's going on?

- Looks like a trap. - Pika.

Axew.

If it is, who could have done this?

Pika.

- 'Sandile!' - Huh?

Hurry up, we've got to capture Pikachu

and report to the Boss ASAP.

We may have fallen short last time, but this time for sure.

Success is as sure as the day is long.

[screaming]

[grunts]

Looks like someone else has been busy digging pit traps.

- But the question is who? - Sandile.

Sandile!

What have we here?

It's an unfamiliar Pokemon.

Sandile!

Sandile?

(Pokedex) Sandile. The Desert Croc Pokemon.

A dark membrane protects its eyes from the sun

and it buries itself in the sand

with its eyes and nose sticking out.

Wow.

I'm Iris and I can't thank you enough for helping us.

And this is Ash.

Hi! My name's Dan.

And my family and I operate a resort spa and hotel

that's not far from here.

That is so cool, because I happen to adore resort spas.

Me too.

Well, it makes me really happy to hear that

but it makes me really sad to say we're closed right now

because of Sandile.

- Huh? - Huh?

(Dan) Our hot sand spa is our hotel's biggest attraction.

Unfortunately, now it looks like this.

Whoa, that's too bad.

It just happened a short time ago.

Okay, dad, is this about right?

Yup! How is it?

Looks like it feels great.

Now you two have a relaxing time, okay?

Sandile.

Huh. What's that?

It's a wild Sandile.

They show up a lot, since they enjoy

the feel of a hot sand bath as well.

(all) Sandile.

But don't worry. They won't hurt you.

- I guess it's fine. - Sandile.

[screaming]

Sandile!

[screaming]

Oh..

What in the world is going on with them?

So for now, I'm afraid we're going to have to stay closed.

I don't understand how a bunch of friendly Sandile

could have suddenly gotten destructive.

Yeah. We don't have any idea either.

So? Why don't we help him find out.

- Pika! - Come on!



- Pika! - Huh?

Huh?

Hmm.. Man, it doesn't get any better than this.

Pika-Pikachu.

I give.. What're you doing?

Well, before we figure it out, we need research first.

Pika.

All you care about is checking out the hot sand.

Axew.

Not you too?

Ah. This is the best.

- Pika. - Axew.

It appears that the Twerp is having the time of his life.

Which gives us the perfect chance.

- 'Sandile!' - Huh?

Oh, not you again.

Why must you be so persistent?

Stay here and you'll blow our cover.

Sandile!

I think it's time for you to become scarce.

Sandile!

- Hm? - Sandile!

Ash, I thought we were searching for Oshawott, remember?

- Huh! I forgot! - Pika.

- 'Osha.' - Huh?

Uh.

- Oshawott! - Pika.

Hold on, have you been lying here this whole time?

Oshawott. Oshawott.

That's one happy Pokemon.

Sandile!

(group) Who's that Pokemon?

(group) It's Sandile!

- Huh? - Huh?

San-dile.

You see? That's the leader of the Sandile.

Huh?

[growling]

No, Axew!

We'll save you. Don't worry.

Pikachu!

Pikachu, Thunderbolt, let's go!

Pikachu!

Ash, if you use Thunderbolt then Axew will get hurt.

- Huh? - Pika.

[grunting]

Now you let go of my Axew or else.

[grunting]

Open your mouth! Come on!

[grunting]

Let's pull hard, all at once!

[grunting]

[grunts]

[groaning]

- Pi! - Osha!

- Pika. - Oshawott.

Pikachu! Oshawott!

- Sandile. - 'Huh?'

(all) Huh?

- Osha! Osha! - Pikachu!

What's all that?

Open your ears for the answer indeed.

The answer to come as we feel the need.

We bring white light of evil into your future.

Hammering justice onto the black Universe.

Carving our names in the rock of eternity.

The fiery destroyer, Jessie.

With thunderous emotion, I am James.

Wisest of the wise, Meowth.

(all in unison) Now, gather under the name of Team Rocket!

- Pika! - Osha, Osha!

Team Rocket!

Don't you ever give up?

Give us back our Pokemon!

There's a huge flaw in your premise

since they're now our Pokemon.

- Pika, Pika. - Oshawott.

Axew.

[grunts]

[screaming]

The dream of catching Pikachu comes true.

And there's nothing like Oshawott and Sandile

as a bonus prize.

So, let's inform the Boss right away.

[screaming]

What's happening? Huh?

- Pika. - Huh?

- Sandile! Sandile! - Sandile! Sandile!

- Huh? - Huh?

- Ash, up there! - Huh?

[growling]

Stay away from us, all of you!

Sandile!

[growling]

Alright, what are they trying to do?

James, let's get out of here, right away.

- Right. Huh! - Huh!

[groaning]

[screaming]

Sandile.



[groaning]

[growling]

Team, I'm afraid we've no choice but to retreat.

- Right. - Hmm.

[growling]

- Pika. - Osha.

[all chattering]

There they are.

Yeah, and check out all of those wild Pokemon, too.

So, what's going on?

[all chattering]

Sandile! Sandile! Sandile!

Sandile-Sandile! Sandile!

[all chattering]

Sandile-San!

[all chattering]

[all gasps]

What's that?

- A geyser. - Huh?

It's boiling water that shoots up from under the ground.

I've never seen a geyser around here.

Sandile! Sandile!

Looks like the Sandile with the sunglasses

is guiding them all somewhere.

I'll bet you that the Sandile

are trying to protect the other Pokemon.

Huh?

I'm beginning to wonder if that's the reason

they came to the sand bath in the first place

that they were really just trying to warn us

all about the danger from the geysers.

Is that why Sandile grabbed Axew?

It was trying to save Axew. That Sandile's alright.

Hey, Pikachu!

- Pi. Pika. - Oshawott.

San-San!

Sandile-Sandile. Sandile!

Huh? Huh?

That sounds huge!

Huh?

Huh?

[all chattering]

[all chattering]

They're surrounded by boiling water! Now what do we do?

It's going to be trouble if another big one blows.

- Like right now. - Alright!

- Huh? - Pika, Pika.

- Pika. - Oshawott.

Pika!

[groaning]

Ash, you can't wade through that boiling water.

But I've got to do something to save them!

- 'Sandile.' - Huh?

Sandile. Sandile!

(all in unison) Sandile!

What are they trying to do?

I know! The Sandile are making a bridge.

(both) Ah!

- Good luck, Sandile! - You can do it!

Yeah! Awesome!

Everyone, cross over the bridge!

[all chattering]

- What's the matter? - They're all scared!

Hey! You've got to hurry and cross!

[all chattering]

I've got to help them.

Pika! Pi-Pi!

Come on!

Let's all get on the Sandile bridge and cross over together.

Pika-Pika.

Deerling.

Okay, hurry!

- Keep it up! - Not much time!

[grunting]

Pikachu, why you go on ahead.

Pikachu.

Huh!

[grunting]

Oh, no! Ash!

Pika-Pi!

Okay, hang on a little longer.

Sandile!

You can do it, Sandile. Just a little bit more.

Pikachu!

[grunting]

Huh? Huh! Oh!

Oshawott. Osha! Osha!

Osha! Osha?

No, Oshawott!

Oshawott!

Oshawott, return!

Great, Oshawott!

[grunting]

Huh?

That was pretty crazy, Ash.

Nah! That was nothing!

Sandile, give it just one more push, okay?

Sandile.

Awesome!

[screaming]



Sandile.

Well, son, what do you think of our brand new hot spring?

I'm sorry the geysers caused us to lose our sand spa

but this is incredible!

- The hot water feels awesome! - Pikachu.

Yeah! Five stars, without a doubt!

- Axew. - Osha.

Wow! Thanks!

We now have a brand new attraction!

Yeah! There's nothing more relaxing than a hot spring!

Yeah!

(narrator) And so, a perilous adventure

for our Heroes winds down

with a little rest and relaxation

as their Unova region journey continues!
