06x24 - A Corphish Out of Water

[bunniefuu]

ASH Ah, almost done.

There's a big battle coming up.

So, I'm gonna have your Poké ba*ls sparkling like brand new.

CORPHISH/TREECKO/TAILLOW/PIKACHU [EXCITED]

This must be really serious.

He's usually the first one to breakfast.

Yeah, but he's got the right idea.

Poké ba*ls are an important tool for Pokémon Trainers.

Maybe you should be following Ash's example.

It couldn't hurt.

You're right, but I could think of something that will.

Brawly's gonna be real hard to beat

but if we continue to work as a team, I think we can do it.

So we just need to keep training until we're the best.

CORPHISH/TREECKO/TAILLOW/PIKACHU [CHEERING]

Yeah. That's the spirit.

CORPHISH [BUSY]

[GOBBLING]

Ah.

[EXERTION]

[SLURPING]

Oh. Wow. And you guys thought my Wurmple was bad.

Can't be too much nutritional benefit to eating rope and wood.

Stop, Corphish.

That's not food, you're gonna get sick.

[PLEADING]

[EXERTION]

ASH Whoa.

MAY/MAX/BROCK Ash?

CORPHISH [MISCHIEVOUS]

- Uh, it's got character. - Yeah.

Character's another word for troublemaker.

ASH "A Corphish Out of Water."

NARRATOR Having set up camp on Dewford Island, Ash and friends begin

yet another day of training in preparation for a rematch

against the Dewford Gym Leader, Brawly.

Guys, I want you to meet your new teammate, Corphish.

Let's all say hi.

PIKACHU [AGREEMENT]

FORRETRESS/LOTAD/WURMPLE/TORCHIC [GREETING]

[ENTHUSIASTIC]

[PUNCHING]

TORCHIC/WURMPLE/LOTAD/FORRETRESS [PAINED]

Hey. What do you think you're doing?

You're never gonna make new friends like that.

I think you've got it wrong.

That's how Corphish say hello. Yeah.

Is it really?

[FRIENDLY]

PIKACHU/TORCHIC/FORRETRESS [MUNCHING]

Mmm. Breakfast is awesome Brock, just like it always is.

Yeah, really good.

BROCK Thanks, guys.

Hmm.

Hey. How come you're not eating, May? Not hungry?

Yeah, I've never known you to pass up

one of Brock's breakfasts.

It's just that I'm worried 'cause Wurmple isn't eating.

Huh?

[GLOOMY]

TORCHIC [CONCERNED]

What's the matter, Wurmple?

Is your tummy hurting you?

WURMPLE [DENYING]

You should try to eat something.

You've got to keep up your strength.

WURMPLE [REFUSING]

TORCHIC [CONCERNED]

[MUNCHING]

Hey, knock it off Corphish.

That food belongs to Torchic and Wurmple.

No, Corphish, it's not right to steal things.

[PLEADING]

[UNSURE]

[STARTLED]

Pikachu!

TEAM ROCKET Ha-ha-ha-ha.

MEOWTH The right to steal belongs to us.

[ANGRY]

Prepare for trouble 'cause this is my Corphish disguise.

Make it double. Can you tell we've run low on supplies?

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 blasts off at the speed of light.

Surrender now or prepare to fight-fight-fight.

That's right.

[ENTHUSIASTIC]

ASH/BROCK/MAY/MAX Team Rocket!

Give back Pikachu.

[ANGRY]

Your request is denied.

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[DISAPPOINTED]

Your electric attacks won't work in there.

We've taken the usual anti-electric precautions.

Better to be safe than sorry.

WOBBUFFET [AGREEMENT]

Now it's safe to say so long.

JESSIE/JAMES Bye.

Hey, get back here.

Wurmple. Think you can battle Team Rocket?

[AFFIRMATIVE]

Go. Wurmple, String Shot now.

[STRING SHOT MOVE]

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Aah.

ASH/BROCK/MAY Pull.

Hey, what's the big idea?

Yeah, this time we stole Pikachu away from you fair and square.

And now we'd like to leave with no strings attached.

[AGREEMENT]

MEOWTH 'We gotta try getting higher.'

Corphish, help us pull this balloon.

[AGREEMENT]

Wait, don't do it.

Yikes, bad idea.

ASH/BROCK/MAY/MAX Aah!

TEAM ROCKET Looks like another blast off!

Thanks, Corphish. Whose side are you on?

Just when we'd finally captured Team Rocket

you had to go and cut them free.

Don't give Corphish a hard time.

It just grabbed the rope when it was told to

and those claws sliced clean through it.

That means it was Ash's fault, then.

He's the one who told Corphish to pull the rope.

Well, I just, uh..

Anyway, let's go rescue Pikachu.

Come on, everyone.

TREECKO/TAILLOW [AGREEMENT][CAWING]

[HESITANT]

TEAM ROCKET [groaning]

Do our plans always have to end in disaster?

Usually. But, this time we captured Pikachu.

This is gonna be a day that goes down in Team Rocket history

[ENTHUSIASTIC]

ASH 'There they are. Let's get them.'

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Huh? Eh. The twerps.

[CALLING]

Corphish, use Bubble Beam.

[BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

TEAM ROCKET [screaming]

[FRIGHTENED]

There goes history.

Pikachu.

No you don't. Go, Cacnea.

[EMERGING]

No, don't get me. Get them.

[EXERTION]

Seviper, bring Pikachu back.

[EMERGING]

[ALARMED]

Oh, no.

Wurmple, use String Shot to help Pikachu.

[STRING SHOT MOVE]

[SURPRISED]

MAY/BROCK/ASH Aah.

[SURPRISED]

TEAM ROCKET Whoa!

PIKACHU [WORRIED]

Pikachu. You're not hurt are you, little buddy?

[REASSURING]

Thank you, Wurmple. You're the best.

[PLEASED]

My Wurmple's best.

It's gotta be cuter

than your little runt by at least a hundred times.

No, make it a million times cuter than your Wurmple.

What? A million times?

See for yourself. Have a look at my cute little Wurmpley-poo.

We'll see who's best. Come out, Wurmple.

[EMERGING]

Yep. See those beautiful eyes and those plump lips?

The tail spikes are perfectly in line.

It's the ultimate, it's a superstar.

Appropriate that a star Pokémon should belong

to a star actress like me.

You're a star?

Every Wurmple I've ever seen looks the same to me.

I disagree.

You'd have a hard job finding a Wurmple

that's cuter than mine.

You obviously don't know what

you're talking about because your Wurmple is a nobody

and mine happens to be a big celebrity.

Look at it. Shining like a superstar.

Huh? Aah.

JAMES/MEOWTH Huh? Wow.

She's right. It is shining.

MAY/MAX/BROCK Huh.

And so is mine.

May, that shining must mean..

That Wurmple is about to evolve right here.

Evolve?

[SHOCKED]

Hey, look at that.

Let's see what it is.

POKEDEX 'Silcoon, the Cocoon Pokémon.'

'Silcoon is the evolved form of Wurmple.'

Using its thread to attach itself to a tree branch

it waits to evolve to its next stage.

When it grows thirsty it drinks the dew

that collects on its string.

JESSIE/MAY This is awesome.

JESSIE/MAY My Wurmple evolved into a Silcoon.

Tell me what could be more appropriate. Huh?

A beautiful Silcoon for a beautiful trainer.

[CONFUSED]

JAMES/MEOWTH Huh? Hmm.

That's really cool, May.

Congrats.

Thanks a lot, guys.

JAMES/MEOWTH Huh? Hmm, fine.

Enough of this burbling, let's get Pikachu.

I agree. Go Cacnea.

[READY]

Oh, no, you don't.

Corphish, Crabhammer attack.

[CRABHAMMER MOVE]

[PAINED]

Now, Pikachu. Thunderbolt. Go.

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

TEAM ROCKET Aah.

TEAM ROCKET We're blasting off again.

WOBBUFFET [EXASPERATED]

Yeah, we did it.

Corphish and Pikachu totally rock.

[CHEERING][EXHAUSTED]

ASH/BROCK/MAX/MAY Huh?

What's the matter, Corphish?

[WORRIED]

It's got a terrible fever, Ash.

We've gotta get it to the Pokémon Center right away.

Right, I'll just put it back in its Poké Ball.

Hmm?

Wait a sec. Augh. On no.

'We left all the Poké ba*ls behind.'

[WEAK]

Corphish, hang in there, buddy.

Poor Corphish. What are we gonna do now?

There isn't enough time for us to go back for the Poké ba*ls.

I know what to do.

What's your idea, Ash?

I'll carry it to the Pokémon Center.

- Huh? - Are you crazy?

Do you know how far it is

to the nearest Pokémon Center?

I can make it.

[ENCOURAGING]

Treecko, Taillow, I want you to go with the others

back to the camp and wait for me there.

[AFFIRMATIVE]

You ready, Pikachu?

[AGREEMENT]

Just be careful, Ash.

The Pokémon Center in Dewford Town

is just over this mountain, Corphish.

Hold on tight until we get there.

[GROANING]

Its fever's getting worse. It's serious.

I gotta try and cool Corphish down.

[NOTICING]

Corphish, drink some of this cold water. Here.

PIKACHU [WORRIED]

CORPHISH [SIPPING]

That's great. It already seems like you're getting better, huh?

PIKACHU/CORPHISH [HAPPY][WEAK]

Oh, no, and now I'm starving 'cause thanks to Team Rocket

we didn't even get to eat our breakfast.

PIKACHU [DISCOURAGED]

PIKACHU [EXCITED]

What is it, Pikachu?

Ah.

A Pecha Berry tree.

Thanks, Pikachu, just what we needed.

Here you go, buddy.

[PLEASED]

Let's dig in. Huh?

[GRUMPY]

Whoa, Shroomish.

Sorry, that was an accident.

[STUNS PORE MOVE]

Run. Stun Spore.

Do you think Ash has made it

to the Pokémon Center yet?

He ought to be there by now.

I hope Corphish is gonna be okay.

Me too, Corphish can be a bit wild

but I think that it means well.

Are we talking about the same Corphish?

I don't know about that.

Hey, I see it. That's Dewford Town.

[EAGER]

Almost there. Hang in there, Corphish.

[AGGRESSIVE]

Ahh, Aah.

[Ash screaming]

What is that Pokémon?

POKEDEX Carvanha, the Savage Pokémon.

Carvanha have powerful jaws and razor-sharp teeth

able to chew through solid steel.

Carvanha will form packs

and attack any invaders in its territory

[AGGRESSIVE]

That's just great

and there isn't even a bridge around here.

[NOTICING]

ASH 'Huh? A boat.'

[AGGRESSIVE]

[UNEASY]

Pikachu, use Thunderbolt now.

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[PAINED]

Good job. Now's our chance.

[READY]

Wow.

PIKACHU/CORPHISH [STARTLED]

[FURIOUS]

[GNAWING]

Hey, knock it off.

PIKACHU [PANICKED]

[AGGRESSIVE]

We just have to get across that river.

CORPHISH [WEAK]

Corphish, you gotta hang on.

PIKACHU [WORRIED]

We have to find a bridge, Pikachu.

Come on, let's go now.

PIKACHU [AGREEMENT]

Where is it?

A bridge. Where's a bridge? Yeah.

PIKACHU [EXCITED]

Oh, no, it's broken.

PIKACHU [SAD]

Well, there's only one way to get to Dewford Town.

PIKACHU [DISAPPOINTED]

We're gonna have to wade through the river.

[DETERMINED]

CARVANHA [ANGRY]

Pikachu, go ahead and jump to shore.

PIKACHU [AFFIRMATIVE]

[ANGRY]

Okay, use Thunderbolt to stop the Carvanha

from getting closer.

[AGREEMENT]

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[PAINED]

Good job, Pikachu.

Just keep them shocked a little longer.

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[ANGRY]

Pikachu, they're coming from the other side now.

[NOTICING]

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[PAINED]

[FURIOUS]

[ATTACKING]

[ALARMED]

[WORRIED]

I won't let anything happen to you, Corphish. I promise.

You just try and stay strong.

[TOUCHED]

[ATTACKING]

[HURT]

Pikachu.

[ANGRY]

[BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

[PAINED]

Good job.

PIKACHU/CORPHISH [EXHAUSTED]

Hey, Pikachu. You were great.

PIKACHU [RELIEVED]

You too, Corphish.

That was a close one huh?

[PLEASED]

JOY 'Everything's okay now.'

After a good night's sleep

Corphish will be fighting fit, Ash.

Well, that's a relief. Thank you.

[HAPPY]

But anyway, why would it eat something like that?

ASH Uh..

Uh, ah, it's just that

I, uh.. Well I, I don't know.

[AWKWARD]

ARON [GROWLING]

What was that? Did anyone hear that?

I did, it sounded kind of like an Aron to me.

Whatever it is, it's over there.

Brock, I thought Aron were supposed

to stay inside of caves.

You're right, they're supposed to.

So why'd we hear one on the beach?

Ah. What is that?

Huh?

- A tape recorder. Look. - That's weird.

Why would a tape recorder--

BROCK/MAY/MAX Aah!

[STARTLED]

TEAM ROCKET Ah. Ha-ha-ha.

Pikachu is now the property of Team Rocket.

Now we should go prepare for our big promotion.

MAY/MAX/BROCK What do you want?

Hold on. We got a problem. There's no Pikachu.

Too bad for you. Ash and Pikachu went out on their own.

What? Since when?

- I get it. - Huh?

That's why only two of our traps were activated.

TEAM ROCKET Oh. Now it's three.

[ATTACKING]

Won't work. You're wasting your time with those attacks.

That's right.

These cages are specially designed

to be impossible to open from the inside.

Maybe you shouldn't be so proud of that feature.

JESSIE 'Please. Do you have any idea

'how much this trap design costs?'

MAY 'You should've spent it on designing a way out.'

Yeah. Go Corphish. Crabhammer now.

[EXERTION]

Great. Good job, Corphish.

That was super effective.

Oh, no! The tide's starting to come in.

MAY/MAX Aah.

What are we gonna do now?

We'll drown in these cages.

There's gotta be a way out.

Ah-ha.

'That's it.'

[CAWING]

[HAPPY]

Corphish. You look so much better.

[PLEASED]

TAILLOW [WORRIED]

Hey, Taillow, what is it?

PIKACHU [CONFUSED]

[EXERTION]

A tape recorder?

BROCK 'Ash, you gotta help us.'

'Team Rocket's got us trapped in cages on the beach'

'and the tide's coming in.'

MAX 'Hurry, before we're under water.'

MAY 'Come help us.'

JESSIE 'Oh, quit sniveling.'

JAMES/MEOWTH 'Help us.'

- Oh. That's terrible. - Let's go.

PIKACHU/CORPHISH [DETERMINED]

BROCK/MAY/MAX/JESSIE/JAMES Aah.

I can't hang on anymore.

Don't give up yet, May.

[DETERMINED]

Corphish.

[DETERMINED]

Is everyone okay?

Corphish, Crabhammer, now.

[CRABHAMMER MOVE]

MAY/MAX Yeah.

[EXCITED]

TEAM ROCKET Ahh, ha-ha.

Thank you so much.

We offer you our most humble and heartfelt gratitude.

We will be indebted to you all for the rest of our lives.

Okay, that's enough of that.

We are Team Rocket after all.

So we'll thank you with an attack.

[BAFFLED]

No way. Pikachu, Thunder.

[THUNDER MOVE]

Go Corphish, Bubble Beam.

[BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

TEAM ROCKET Team Rocket's blasting off again.

We did it.

PIKACHU [EXCITED]

CORPHISH [JOYOUS]

Nurse Joy, how can I ever thank you for saving my life?

A romantic candlelit dinner, just the two of us?

Heh, well..

Thank you, Corphish.

You really saved us.

I always knew you were nice way deep down.

[EXCITED]

[AGGRESSIVE]

MAY/BROCK/MAX Ah. Ouch.

I think you need to work on how to show affection.

Yeah, Corphish, Max is right.

Sometimes less is more.

[HAPPY]

NARRATOR After just meeting his newest friend, Corphish

Ash found himself fighting desperately to save it.

As his training continues for the Dewford Gym rematch

his friendship with all of his Pokémon teammates

is sure to grow as well.
