14x34 - Gotta Catch a Roggenrola!

Post by bunniefuu »

Rogg-en. Rogg-en.

Rogg-en-rola.

Roggenrola. Roggenrola.

Roggen. Roggen. Roggen.

Roggen. Roggen.

Roggenrola!

Mm. Cilan, this is the best pie I've ever had.

I simply gathered berries from the forest

and blended them into a paste.

The secret to any good recipe is always super-fresh.

- Rog! Roggen-rola! - Aah!

My beautiful fresh and fruity creation

has been ruined by destruction time!

Roggen. Roggen. Rog-Roggen.

- Roggenrola! Roggen-Roggen. - Huh?

Who's that Pokemon?

Roggen.

(Pokedex) Roggenrola. The Mantle Pokemon.

Roggenrola's body contains an energy core

which is hard as steel

from being compressed underground.

So, that's a Roggenrola.

- Pika? - Roggen. Roggen-Roggen.

(Ash) "Gotta catch a Roggenrola!"

(narrator) Stopping off for lunch on their way

to Nimbasa City

our Heroes have suddenly run into a feisty Roggenrola.

Roggen, Roggen!

The way it wrecked our lunch. Gotta love that spirit.

Alright! I'm gonna catch it.

Oshawott, let's go!

Now, use Water g*n!

Osha!

Oshawott! Get up, quick.

Aqua Jet, let's go.

Roggen.

That Roggenrola's pretty tough.

Axew.

Huh?

(Cilan)'Look at its back. What is that?'

Oshawott, return.

Rog? Roggen! Roggen! Roggen!

Okay, Tepig, I choose you!

Tepig.

Tepig, use Tackle!

Tepig. Tepig, Tepig.

- Rog! - Tepig!

Okay, Flame Charge, let's go!

Tepig, Tepig, Tepig, Tepig!

[screaming]

Rog!

- Rog! - But how?

Roggenrola's ability is sturdy!

Besides, fire-type attacks aren't very effective!

Alright then, Tackle!

Why are you such a kid?

That's not very effective either.

Roggen!

Tepig?

That was Sandstorm! Hang tight, Tepig!

'Stay strong!'

Roggen-rola!

Tepig!

- Tepig, no! - Pika!

Wow, that was some Stone Edge.

Incredibly powerful.

Tepig, come on!

- Please get up! - Pika-Pika!

Te-pig.

- Ah! - Pika!

Tepig.

Oh, man, Tepig!

- Are you alright, Tepig? - Pikachu?

We've gotta get help, quick!

We'd better get to a Pokemon Center.

Let's go!

- Roggen? - Huh?

Ro-Ro-Roggen!

Roggen! Roggen! Roggen!

Rog.

Rog! Rog!

- Huh? - Pika?

Sorry, for the delay.

I'm happy to report your Tepig and Oshawott

are feeling a lot better now.

- Audino! - Wow, thanks, Nurse Joy!

Pika-Pika!

- 'Nurse Joy!' - Hm?



There's nothing wrong with the plumbing that I can find.

The problem could be with the original water source..

That's too bad.

Nurse Joy, what's going on?

We haven't had any running water at all

since early this morning.

So the water company sent Mr. Garrison over here

to see what needed to be done.

If the water source is, in fact, the problem

then something very unusual

must have taken place at the cave.

- "At the cave?" - That's right!

This Pokemon Center gets its water

from an underground spring inside a cave.

And there are lots of wild Roggenrola

living in that cave as well.

"Roggenrola?" We just ran into one before.

You really met a Roggenrola in person?

- 'Yeah!' - That's very strange.

- Don't you think? - Hm?

What's strange about that?

Well, you see, the Roggenrola in that cave almost never go out.

- Something must be wrong.. - Audino?

Now that you mention it.

I had the feeling that Roggenrola was trying

to tell us something.

- Huh? - Huh?

That's not all.

It looked like there was a strange object on its back.

Then I'll just go over to the cave and have a look.

That would be wonderful. Thank you.

- Excuse me. - Huh?

We'd like to come along too, if that's okay.

We're kind of worried about that Roggenrola.

- Pika-Pika! - Uh..

Fine with me.

Long as you promise to stay out of trouble, okay?

- Right! - Pika!

Roggen! Rog! Roggen! Rog!

Gen-Roggen! Rog! Roggen! Roggen! Rog!

'Roggen-Rog! Rog-Roggen! Rog-Roggen.'

[gasping]

[screaming]

Rog?

[thud]

(all) Roggen! Roggen! Roggen! Roggen!

[screaming]

[Meowth chuckles]

We've got all the Roggenrola we need.

And right on schedule, too.

(James) The amazing weapon Doctor Zager designed

can unleash unspeakable power.

All we need are those Roggenrola to power it.

(Jessie) And once our work here is complete.

(Meowth) 'Unova will be ours.'

- 'As will ultimate control.' - 'Let's finish the job!'

(Meowth) And let's do it for the Boss!

(Cilan) This is the water source?

There isn't any water to be seen.

Something must have gone wrong inside the cave.

- 'Roggen!' - Hm?

Roggen! Roggen! Roggen!

- Huh? - Huh?

Roggen. Roggen, Rog.

Roggen! Roggen!

- The Roggenrola from before! - No doubt about it.

So it was trying to tell us something after all.

I think it wants us to follow it into the cave.

- Let's hurry. - Pika-Pika.

[panting]

That's it!

These boulders are why the Pokemon Center

isn't getting any water.

I wonder how they got there.

[gasping]

- What is that? - Axew?

Roggen! Rog-Rog-Roggen!

Rog. Roggen! Roggen!

That thing stuck on Roggenrola's back

was one of those suction cups.

What are you doing to them?

(Jessie) 'Such a heartfelt Twerpish question indeed.'

(James) 'We'll answer you Twerps when we feel the need.'

We bring the white light of evil into the future.

Thrusting the hammer of justice

on the blackness of the universe.

And carving our names in the rock of eternity.

The fiery destroyer! I am Jessie.

And with thunderous emotion, I am James!

Wisest of the wise, I am Meowth!

(all) And now, we gather. Under the name of Team Rocket.

"Team Rocket?" Who are they?

They're a group of really annoying bad people

who go around stealing other peoples' Pokemon.

- Yew! Yew! - "Annoying bad people?"

I think someone needs to go back and learn a few manners.

Excuse me, but these are wild Roggenrola we've been grabbing.

To be used for a brand new weapon

for conquering the entire Unova region.

Just check this out.



[clamoring]

- How cruel can you get? - Oh, no!

So Roggenrola was really trying to tell us about this.

Sorry to run, but we must conduct a test firing.

And honestly, you're boring us to tears.

Have a nice day.

No way! Tepig! I choose you!

Tepig!

Use Ember!

Te-pig!

[grunts]

Roggenrola, you okay?

- Pikachu? - Roggen?

Pikachu.

One for the Twerp?

I doubt that I'll lose any sleep.

We have a lot more.

Talking about this is a huge waste of time.

Okay, then let's book!

- Tepig, save those Roggenrola! - Tepig.

I wouldn't even give you the chance.

(Garrison) 'We've got to get out of here, fast!'

(Ash) 'But the Roggenrola!'

- Ash, look out! - Huh?

[screaming]

(group) Who's That Pokemon?

(group) It's Roggenrola!

Roggenrola!

- Ash, look out! - Aah!

[screaming]

Rog!

That was Roggenrola's Flash Cannon!

You saved us! Thanks, Roggenrola.

- Pika-Pika. - Roggen! Roggen!

No way Team Rocket's getting away with this!

Pika-Pika!

Deep within the body of a Roggenrola

lies a high-powered energy core.

(Meowth) 'Right, and the brand-new weapon designed'

'by Doctor Zager focuses and ramps up that energy.'

Let's begin! Put the Roggenrola cannon to the test, Meowth.

Yeah! Time for us to make history.

(all) Roggen!

(James) 'Core energy amplifying.'

Opening target scope! Focusing aim..

- There they are! - Pika-Pika!

Roggen! Roggen!

[screaming]

What's with that light?

- Roggen! - Wait, Roggenrola!

Energy is maximized!

- Fire Roggenrola cannon! - Firing cannon, now!

[screaming]

Rola! Roggen!

Look out, Roggenrola!

[gasping] Ash, no!

Uh..

- Uh.. - Pika-Pika!

What a display of power! More power than predicted!

A complete test success!

- 'Let's move!' - 'Right!'

That was close!

- Pika. - Ash!

- You two okay? - Yeah, we're fine.

- Axew! - Ha ha!

How dare they use the Roggenrola's core energy

to make such a horrible weapon.

And not only that

how are we ever gonna get out of this cave?

Don't sweat it!

Excadrill, go!

Excadrill!

Dig us out of here!

Ex-Ex-Ex-Ex!

Pansage, you too!

Pansage!

- Ex-Ex-Ex-Ex! - Pansage. Pansage. Pansage.

[grunts]

Made it! Thank you.

Sure, no problem.

Thank you, Excadrill.

You were a big help too, Pansage!

Now, we've gotta figure out where Team Rocket went.

Rog! Roggen! Roggen!

What's up, Roggenrola?

It's about its friends.

I think Roggenrola knows where they are.

Huh?

The fact is, Roggenrola are

incredibly sensitive to sound.

Great! Let's go!

Rog. Roggen! Roggen!

Roggen! Roggen! Rog! Rog!

Roggen!

- Over there! - Roggen! Roggen!

We're all set. This baby's in perfect shape.

And we're right on schedule.

The Roggenrola cannon is primed and ready for action.

Before long, Team Rocket will rule the Unova region

with a smile.



[laughing]

- 'That's not gonna happen.' - Huh?

Oy vey! It's the Twerp!

How did you find us?

With the help of a friend, this guy.

Roggen!

If you think you're getting away with this, you're wrong.

- Stop using the Roggenrola. - Axew!

Stop being annoying! Woobat!

- Woobat! - Use Gust, now!

Woo-bat!

[grunting]

Tepig! Get them with Ember!

Te-pig!

Woo, Woo-bat!

- Bat! - What was that all about?

Bat!

Now this is a job for the Roggenrola cannon.

Good point.

And away we go!

Amplifying core energy.

(all) 'Roggen!'

The Roggenrolas' core energy's building!

- We've got to move! - Rog! Rog!

Rog! Rog! Roggen!

- Roggen-Rog! - Roggenrola!

Roggenrola's going to tell its friends

they must stop the attack.

[screaming]

Rog! Rog!

Energy levels are maxxed!

- Fire Roggenrola cannon! - Firing with flair!

Roggen!

Hold on! What happened?

Blocked by Roggenrola's Flash Cannon!

Then fire one more time!

We'll show them the amazing power of Team Rocket technology.

- Yes, ma'am! - Yes, ma'am!

[screaming]

- Not again! - Pika!

Hey, don't do this!

- Stop, everybody! - Roggen!

Ash, you'd better get out of there!

- You'd better run! - Too late, Twerp!

But not too late to be taught a lesson.

- Huh? - Huh?

(Jessie) 'What?'

(all) Roggen!

Whatever's happening, stop it, pronto!

The Roggenrola now appear to be controlling

their own core energy.

And that energy's reversed polarity.

But that's a bad thing.

[screaming]

(all) Roggenrola!

- Pika! - Rog!

(all) Rog! Rog! Rog!

I'm so glad you guys are okay.

Pika!

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Now, Yamask! Use Night Shade!

Yamask!

Woobat, Use Gust!

Woo! Bat! Bat! Bat!

They won't get away with this! Tepig, Ember!

Te-pig!

- Yamask. - Bat!

Pikachu, finish with Electro Ball!

Pika-Pi-ka-chu-Pi!

(all) Roggen-rola!

Who knew it would end up this way once more?

I guess those Roggenrola had lots more oomph

than we bargained for.

Though it hurts to admit, our mission's a failure.

But the Unova region is still ours for the taking.

And once we do, the crowns of victory will rest

on the heads of Team Rocket.

- We did it! - Axew!

(all) Roggenrola!

Sorry to keep you waiting

but you'll be happy to see

everyone's feeling just fine now!

- Rog. - Pika-Pi.

Tepig! Tepig! Tepig!

Pikachu!

Everybody looks awesome!

You really helped out, Nurse Joy. Thank you!

(all) Roggenrola!

- You're quite welcome, Ash! - Audino!

I just finished writing up a complete report

that I'm sending to the water company.

They'll start the repair work right away.

And that includes the Roggenrola's home, too.

(all) Roggenrola!

- Rog! Roggen! - Huh?

Rog-Rog-Roggen!

Roggenrola!

Where's Roggenrola going?

Axew?

- Roggen. Roggen. - 'Hold on, Roggenrola!'



Roggen.

- Huh? - Huh?

Roggen! Roggen!

- I don't get it. - Pika-Pika?

I think Roggenrola wants to battle!

Huh?

If I remember, you wanted to catch Roggenrola.

And I think it wants to go along with you anyway.

You think? Alright, then!

- 'Tepig, wanna battle?' - Tepig!

Tepig again? Doesn't sound like a good match to me.

I know Tepig lost before, but..

'I also know because of that'

'Tepig wants to give it another shot.'

- Right, Tepig? - Tepig.

Pika-Pika!

That's the spirit! Tepig, Tackle, go!

Tepig! Tepig! Tepig! Tepig!

Roggen!

Tepig, hang in there!

Roggenrola!

- Tepig! - Tepig, no!

That Stone Edge was super-effective.

I knew that Tepig was a bad choice after all.

This battle is starting to become

a bit too bitter for my taste.

Get up, Tepig! You can do it, I know!

- Pika-Pika! - Tepig!

Oh, no, here comes Flash Cannon!

- Axew! - Now, use Flame Charge!

Tepig! Tepig! Tepig!

Rog!

No wonder Roggenrola's ability is sturdy.

Tepig, use Tackle!

- Te.. - Rog!

There's no way you're gonna lose this battle now, Tepig.

[grunting]

It's a delicious battle of wills.

Two distinct flavors struggling to rule the recipe.

What excitement!

Tepig, give it all you've got! Use Tackle again!

- Rog! - Tepig! Tepig! Tepig!

- Tepig! Tepig! - Rog!

[grunting]

Rog! Roggenrola! Roggen!

Great, Tepig! Now go, Poke Ball!

Hm.

Alright! It worked!

I just caught a Roggenrola.

- Pi-Pikachu! - Tepig!

(narrator) Quite a day for our heroes

Team Rocket is defeated and Ash catches a Roggenrola.

And so, accompanied by his newest Pokemon

Ash's journey to become a Pokemon Master continues!
