Wait!

NARRATOR Today we find all of our heroes training together

for their rematch at the Dewford Gym.

Hmm? Okay, guys, hold up!

Hold up? What's the deal, Brock?

- Someone's up there! - Huh?

Hey, you're right.

That seems kind of weird.

Wonder why he's up there like that.

ASH "A Three Team Scheme!"

[instrumental music]

My very first peek inside a Wingull's nest!

[ANGRY]/[PECK ATTACK]

No, no, no! Stop that! Ouch!

[screaming]

[SHOCKED]

[groans]

Well, that hurt.

LOUDRED [ANGRY]

Huh!

[FURIOUS]/[DIG ATTACK]

Wow! Wild Pokémon are a lively lot.

ASH 'Professor Birch?'

Huh? Well, look who it is!

It has been a long time, hasn't it?

I'm glad to see that Brock managed

to join up with you as well.

Yeah, thanks for all your help, professor.

So, how come you're here on Dewford Island anyway?

Well, I just had to see the wonderful Pokémon here

for myself. Now, look up there.

ASH/MAY/BROCK/MAX Huh?

BIRCH The Wingull here like to build

'their nests on cliffs like these.'

But don't you think climbing up there is a teeny bit dangerous?

Come on, May! What are you talking about?

This is exactly the kind of extreme Pokémon fieldwork

that Professor Birch is totally famous for.

You know, moving forward

and never backing off from any danger

the way a great Pokémon researcher's supposed to.

[chuckles] Oh! Got it.

Thanks, Max, your praise is most appreciated.

So, tell me, Ash, what are you all doing here?

I would've thought you'd already be at least

somewhere near Slateport City by this time.

Oh, yeah, well, you see what happened was..

[BASHFUL]

Hey, who's that?

I believe he's a Pokémon researcher by the name of Birch.

Hey, I know, him being a researcher

I bet you he could lead us to all kinds of choice Pokémon.

- Sweet! - Sweet!

I understand.

So, Ash, you're busy training

for a rematch at the Dewford Gym

while May has decided to focus on Pokémon Contests.

- Is that right? - Right!

So, professor, what are you doing next?

I think I'll be staying in this area and study a bit more.

Hey, do you mind if we hang around with you?

- Not at all! - Awesome!

So today's training, we'll be going

with the professor out in the field.

- Alright! - I'm ready!

[whistle blowing]

Are you forgetting the rigorous training schedule

we already have planned out for today?

[chuckles] We'll do it tomorrow, Brock.

That's the way, it's good to change

your training around from time to time.

I worked hard on that schedule.

[engine revving]

[dramatic music]

BIRCH 'You know, this cave just may provide us'

with some wild Golbat.

Wow! Let's hurry then.

This cave's a little different than the others.

I hope those Golbat come out soon.

We may have to go deeper to find some though.

Huh! That's weird. Look at that!

We're already at a dead end.

[CONCERN]

'And what's a door doing inside of a cave?'

Hello?

Huh! It's unlocked!

[CURIOUS]

[gasps]

Anybody here?

[CONFUSED]

I wonder what this room is for?

Look at those computers!

And books about Pokémon!

"Great Pokémon Battle Strategies."

No way! I've never even heard of that one!

- 'Hands off!' - Huh?

[ANGRY]

Who said you could enter my secret base?

That's a Nincada!

Secret base?

Sorry, I guess we didn't realize where we were.

Get out! Get out!

Okay, we said, we're sorry.

We didn't mean to trespass.

Right! We were just--

Nincada! Use Fury Swipes!

[FURY SWIPES MOVE]

KEANU Get out of here!

Don't come back!

[screaming]

- Well, well, hear that? - Sure did!

We stumbled upon the Twerps stumblin' upon somethin' good.

So, let's take a look.

ASH 'Uh! What's with that kid?'

Talk about a temper.

You can't blame him. Guess we shouldn't have gone in.

You know, he just might be a Pokémon Trainer as well.

So, shall we head to the next cave?

- Yeah! - Okay!

That's that.

[knock at door]

I told you guys..

That's weird. Nobody's here.

Oh, yeah, Nincada!

- Hi! - Who are you?

JESSIE/JAMES We have a surprise! You've got company!

[screaming]

Help me!

Well, that was rude.

I now declare this room

the secret base of Team Rocket.

Declare this too.

[UPSET]

[instrumental music]

[inhales]

[UPSET]

[laughing] Alright, Nincada.

From now on you're going to build us

lots and lots of cute little secret bases, okay?

As for you, Silcoon, great work.

[HAPPY]

You're such a great Pokémon.

[Jessie laughing]

[HAPPY]

I don't wanna spoil the party

but ain't it a Cascoon not a Silcoon?

I guess we'll find out, when it evolves.

- It did seem different to me. - What's different?

[screaming]

JESSIE Giovanni, sir.

JAMES/MEOWTH Lovely to see you again.

Yes, well, you'd better have a good reason

for disturbing me this time.

- Good? - It's great, superb!

Stupendeoso!

Oh, is it possible you finally

gathered some useful information for me?

Uh, not exactly.

We've built ourselves a secret base.

And custom-designed it specifically

so we can gather info on the Hoenn Region.

It looks to me like some kid's room.

Yeah, okay.

We'll remodel it immediately.

And make it not only the first Team Rocket branch

in the Hoenn Region but the best branch in the world.

That's fine. Report back to me when the base is complete.

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Aah!

I need a hug.

But if we can make this happen..

Huh, think of it.

♪ We'll be promoted We'll be the big wigs ♪

♪ You bet ♪♪

I've never seen that many Golbat in one place before.

Yeah, pretty cool. Guess what?

During the daylight hours they sit still like that forever.

- Hey! - What's up?

MAY Isn't that the kid from the cave?

- Hey! - Hm?

Remember us? Sorry we let ourselves in your room.

Hi! I'm Ash, from Pallet Town. Who're you?

My name's Keanu.

Hey, so where's your Nincada?

It's, well, you see..

[sobbing]

[DIG ATTACK]/[TIRED]

Oh, no, no, no! No resting!

Dig, I want this place to look like a palace

so there's no time for breaks.

Huh?

- This is it? - Yes.

Well, then our prime target is located just up ahead.

- Don't I know them? - I think so.

MEOWTH Hey! It's that g*ng of th*gs that we met before.

Get this! You are not welcome here!

And who might you be?

Prepare for trouble, you'll know soon enough!

And make it double, it's going to get tough!

JESSIE 'To protect the world from devastation.'

[ANGRY]

[screaming]

TEAM ROCKET We'll let ourselves out!

- Now, let us begin. - Yes!

[dramatic music]

- Proceed. - 'Yes!'

You see I haven't been able

to win a single Pokémon Battle so far.

- Huh? - Really? Not one?

- Uh! - Uh!

ASH Sorry.

I love Pokémon, but I hate battling.

- Because you lose? - Mm-hmm.

'I agree, it's not fun when you lose.'

Yeah, I know. Losing battles can be a really big bummer.

[AGREEMENT]

And now it's gotten to the point

where I'm a real let down to my Nincada, you know?

'So I built that secret base, so we could train.'

Really? You built that base?

Uh-huh. I had Nincada dig it out for me.

'It was our special place where no one else'

'would be able to bother us.'

That's enough!

Huh?

Look! How are you supposed to battle without an opponent?

Once you catch a Pokémon you make friends

and battle with them!

You'd better snap yourself out of this little world of yours.

- Get it? - Oh, come on now, May.

Yeah, May, I mean you're not really in any position

to lecture on battling.

[sighs] But, guys, it's true.

Hey, Keanu, if you like

I'll help you with your training.

Yeah?

But the first thing to do is

to get back your Nincada.

[AFFIRMATIVE]

You'd do that for me?

Gee, thanks, Ash.

[intense music]

[firing]

Huh, and so I find it at last. The Cave of Origin.

All hands, check to see that

preparations for entrance are in order.

TEAM MAGMA 'Yes.'

That old buildin' is really creepin' me out.

I'm registering a on my creep meter as well.

- Let's go, please? - Get a hold of yourself.

Don't you know, the scarier the scene, the richer the reward?

And the reward is what those g*ons are here to grab.

We stay one step ahead of those crooks, get whatever

they're going for first, and give it to Giovanni.

Uh-huh! The One Step Ahead Plan!

[AFFIRMATIVE]

[music continues]

I see.

All hands, deploy in groups of two

'and report back to me when you detect a response from G.'

TEAM MAGMA 'Yes, sir.'

Dear Silcoon, that's the way. Keep that thread coming.

[EXERTION]

And now, we'll use Silcoon's thread

to glide to the bottom.

- Eh! - Hmm!

You think we should just let her keep yapping?

I do.

[gasps]

KEANU My beautiful secret base!

This is terrible!

Who could've done all this?

Oh, no! Nincada! Where's Nincada?

Look at that giant hole in the wall!

Huh?

I'm certain that will lead us to some answers.

Yeah! Let's get going.

[DETERMINED]

[dramatic music]

This is Flame Two from inside level four.

- G detection negative. - 'Right.'

WOMAN 'This is Flame Four from inside level two.'

'G detection negative.'

'Will continue search.'

MAN 'This is Flame Three from sub-level two.'

'G detection negative.'

'But our sonar has detected several moving objects'

'underwater and approaching from the outside.'

-.

JAMES/JESSIE/MEOWTH Whoa!

The closer we get the more impressive it is.

Now you're going to assist us with our treasure hunt, Nincada.

Yeah, so give it the works.

[TIRED]

ASH/MAY/BROCK/MAX/BIRCH/KEANU Wow!

Check out that building!

[CURIOUS]

I don't know. That looks like more than just a building, Ash.

[grunting]

Mightyena! Shadow Ball!

[SHADOW BALL MOVE]

Hydropump!

[HYDROPUMP MOVE]

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Huh?

[intense music]

Well, if it isn't Team Magma. What a surprise!

That's right. Nice to see you too, Team Aqua.

We'll be handling this from here

so you and your team can move on to other matters.

We'd prefer to avoid unnecessary fighting

and just complete our assignment. Now, go team.

TEAM AQUA Right.

Field Commander Harlan, I would judge by your presence here

that Team Magma is more than just

a little curious about these ruins.

Well, Tactical Commander Isabel

I'm not sure what you're talking about.

We were just here exploring this old cave.

Really? In that case perhaps I could show you

an easy shortcut out?

That won't be necessary.

Team Aqua and Team Magma.

It sounds like they might know each other.

I've heard of them before.

They use their Pokémon to create all kinds of trouble.

But why are they interested in these old ruins?

Are they the ones who took your Nincada?

No. The other guys had a Meowth.

ASH/MAY/BROCK/MAX Meowth?

Flame One here, Team Aqua has infiltrated

but carry out orders.

TEAM MAGMA 'Yes.'

Look, the power we seek is here

and the power that you seek is not.

Power they seek?

Is he talking about the treasure?

Maybe it's a riddle.

ISABEL And I could say the same thing to you.

Regardless of which of our searches is successful

we'll be able to control the power when we find it.

Okay. Are you trying to tell me you've brought the Rose Orb?

Well, now what if I have?

We'll see.

[ANGRY]

- Hmph! - Huh!

It's all wrong.

A simple Tactical Commander should never have gotten of

of such a thing. You are not fit to handle it.

- The Indigo Orb? - Hmm?

- Indigo Orb? - And the Rose Orb?

What in the world are they talkin' about?

What in the world are they talkin' about?

Hmm.

You seek the power of land, but don't you know

that the power of the sea controls all things?

You'll never be able to win that way.

You simply don't understand the power of land.

MAN 'This is Flame Two. Search of all levels complete.'

'G was not detected anywhere.'

Roger that. All units..

- ...pull out immediately. - 'Yes.'

- Power of the sea? - Power of the land?

Forget about that, I'd say they're both just power hungry.

Well, Harlan, it looks like your team was mistaken this time.

MAN 'Stream A here. No K signals detected within the ruins.'

'It appears this is not the Cave of Origin'

'but a shrine of worship built by ancient people.'

- Understood. Now disperse. - 'Roger.'

So, this wasn't the Cave of Origin after all.

Yes, it would appear that way.

Leave it to those ancient people to ruin all of our plans.

Cave of what?

[CONFUSED]

[dramatic music]

[SHOCKED]

I think I smell a battle.

- Carvanha, return! - Return, Mightyena!

- Pull out now! - Roger!

Troops! Let's get out.

TEAM MAGMA Right.

[music continues]

Wow, I wonder what all those guys are looking for anyway.

Me too.

TEAM ROCKET Hip hip hooray!

Now that they're gone, let's get busy.

He who laughs last sticks around for the prize.

Let's grab the treasure and say our goodbyes.

[AFFIRMATIVE]

And that means you too, Nincada. You got that?

[UPSET]

- Nincada! - Huh?

Team Rocket! I knew it would be you three.

Give back that Nincada.

Go, Silcoon, String Shot!

[STRING SHOT MOVE]

Hey! Watch where you sh**t!

Stay away, we're in the middle of something here.

Let's go, Keanu.

But, Ash, I'm afraid.

Look, Nincada's your friend, so you can't just

leave it with them.

You know, Ash is right.

Keanu, go help Nincada.

It'll be alright. I know you can do it for the friendship.

Mm-hmm.

Uh.

Now, give it back.

[ANGRY]

That's no way to speak to your elders, young man.

- Now, say you're sorry. - And then hand over Pikachu.

[screaming]

[SHOCKED]

- Nincada! - Pikachu!

Use Iron Tail now to cut Nincada's thread.

[EXERTION]

[IRON TAIL MOVE]

Alright!

[FOCUSED]

Are you okay, Nincada?

[AFFIRMATIVE]

Keanu, now it's your turn.

Okay, Nincada! Hidden Power Attack!

[HIDDEN POWER MOVE]

Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!

ASH You did it, Keanu!

You got Nincada back, and you did it all by yourself.

And you handled that battle beautifully.

See, you can do it.

And Nincada's Hidden Power Attack was great.

Thank you. That's the attack Nincada and I kept using

so we could build our secret base.

[HAPPY]

Oh, let's see now.

POKEDEX Nincada, the Trainee Pokémon.

Nincada lives most of its life inside the earth

and uses it's sharp claws to tap into tree roots

extracting nutrients and moisture.

That's cool.

But all that work you did on your secret base

and now it's destroyed.

- Yeah, that's right. - Who cares!

Nincada and I will build another one.

[AGREEMENT]

Hmph! That's the spirit.

And then after we train and we get a lot stronger

will you battle me, Ash, huh? Please?

Sure! That'd be great.

[HAPPY]

Gee! Thanks, Ash.

Ah! The charming innocence of a new Trainer.

NARRATOR Although we're left wondering

what those mysterious organizations

Team Aqua and Team Magma were looking for

our heroes know full well they must continue their training

and train they will.
