06x31 - Just One of the Geysers

[bunniefuu]

- We'll battle over there! - On that island?

But we don't have a boat, so how we supposed to get there?

Watch and learn, guys.

ASH/BROCK/MAY/MAX [gasping]

[SHOCKED]

Well, that certainly beats swimming.

Holy Moley!

My Gym has a really great practice field over there.

It's a perfect spot for our rematch!

Okay! And this time I'm gonna win it.

ASH "Just One of the Geysers."

NARRATOR Ash is finally going to get the rematch he's been hoping for.

After his disastrous wipe-out earlier at the Dewford Gym

our heroes anxiously head toward the battle

which will take place at Brawly's

secret practice field.

But will Ash be able to defeat Brawly this time around

and earn his second badge in the Hoenn Region?

Wait and see!

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH [gasping]

Did I die and go to refrigerated heaven?

I can cook all my favorite recipes.

It gets better. We have canned goods too.

That's it, I declare this as our secret base.

Finally, we've found the first

Team Rocket branch in the Hoenn Region.

You know, with digs like this we could even invite

the Boss over for dinner.

Of all the places that we could have wandered into today

there's nothing that could have made me happier.

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Are we dreaming?

But wait, hold on.

Maybe this is a dream?

Good thing we dreamt up these safety devices. No?

Then I must be in a different dream.

Yeah? Well, get out of mine!

[screaming]

[screaming]

Ouch!

Look out below!

- Huh? Where are we? - Don't know.

Look at that! We wasn't just dreamin'.

JESSIE/JAMES Whoa!

Our refrigerator!

And still fully stocked?

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Huh!

- Hello! - Hi!

Remember us?

[EXCITED]

Well, since we have all this food, leave it to me.

Chef Meowth. To cook us all a Cordon Bleu meal.

That ain't on the menu!

You've never cooked one decent meal in your life, Meowth.

I agree!

I guess if you put it that way

gee, how could I not join you both?

Ah! Second thought

I bet you I could do better than this anyway.

Huh!

- What's that? - It's my food.

[indistinct laughing]

Prepare for trouble from up on a ridge.

And make it double, 'cause we've raided the fridge!

To protect the world from devastation.

To unite all peoples within our nation.

To denounce the evils of a yummy pear.

To extend our reach to a chocolate eclair.

- Jessie! - James!

Team Rocket blasts off with all the four food groups.

And believe it or not that includes matzah ball soup!

Oy, Gavalt!

[AGREEMENT]

ASH/MAY/BROCK/MAX Team Rocket!

You have no right to be eating that food!

Hey, how'd you get into my sparring area, dudes?

No, no, no, this is Team Rocket's secret base.

We like to think of it as home. And you're not invited in!

Not by the hair of my chiny, chin, chin.

Go, Seviper!

[APPEARING]

Cacnea, I choose you!

[APPEARING]

And you choose me.

Seviper, Haze Attack!

[HAZE MOVE]

[screaming]

Cacnea, Pin m*ssile!

[PIN m*ssile MOVE]

Ah!

You're not going to get away with this, Team Rocket!

Ready, Pikachu?

[AGREEMENT]

BRAWLY 'Don't do it.'

That'd be like charging headfirst into a damper.

A damper?

That's a wave that breaks

all the way across at the same time.

It's pretty painful if you get caught in one.

Listen up, dudes, time to climb back on your boards

and catch a wave on outta here.

Our boards are in the shop!

So we'll be staying right here in our secret base.

And by the by, if you're trying to clear us outta here

you'll need something more powerful

than your silly expressions.

Alright then, here comes something more powerful.

I hear it now.

What is that?

Does a subway line run through here?

James, does this look like a subway platform to you?

So what else could that be?

BRAWLY 'Because of the shape of this island'

some waves can cause a jet of water to sh**t up into the air.

Like a geyser or a fountain.

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Huh!

- Where does it sh**t up? - 'Right there.'

- Huh? - You mean..

- Here, there? - Yep!

Exactly where you're standing.

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Ah!

[screaming]

Was a little warning too much to ask for?

He could've at least put up some caution signs.

This is what you call throwin' caution to the wind.

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!

BRAWLY 'Now that our uninvited guests are gone'

let me show you my sparring area.

So these machines are all for training, huh?

There're enough machines to train

just about every kind of Pokémon there is.

Cool.

You think that's cool, just wait.

'Take a look at the b*ttlefield we'll be using today.'

ASH/MAY/BROCK/MAX Huh!

Brawly, this is awesome.

[AGREEMENT]

MAY 'It's so different looking.'

MAX 'I've never seen anything like it.'

ASH Why is there a circle in the middle?

The ebb and flow of the tide, dude.

It creates a powerful jet of water

like the geyser we saw earlier.

So that means you've gotta use the whole b*ttlefield well

and avoid the water jets as well

as attacks from the other Pokémon!

Then I guess you'd have to use both the stone area

and the water area while you battle, huh?

Awesome, I can't wait to get started!

Pikachu, I'll need you to sit this one out today.

I'm gonna try my new strategy.

[AFFIRMATIVE]

I didn't know Ash had a strategy.

I guess all that training he's been doing.

Let's just sit back and enjoy the show.

I wonder which Pokémon Ash is gonna use first?

A Flying-type would be a good one to use on this b*ttlefield.

So, maybe Taillow?

[AGREEMENT]

[thinking] I wonder how much Ash has grown since last time.

Good, Treecko! Pound again!

[POUND MOVE]

[PAINED]

[EXERTION]

That's it! Just like riding a surfboard!

Let it roll off your back.

No way! Just keep using Pound, go!

[POUND MOVE]

Back then Ash's strategy was to just keep charging forward

not balancing his attacks well.

But the best place to see if he's learned how

is right here on this b*ttlefield.

We will now begin the battle between the Gym Leader Brawly

and Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town.

SHANA 'Each Trainer will use two Pokémon.'

Only the Challenger will be allowed to make substitutions.

Ready, Brawly? Ready, Ash?

I know from experience both of you are great Pokémon Trainers.

So make this a match that all of us

will remember here for a long time to come.

Now, begin!

Oh, you won't forget this!

Machop, I choose you!

[APPEARING]

I knew he'd use Machop.

So then I'll use..

Treecko, I choose you!

[APPEARING]

[DETERMINED]

Looks like Treecko's ready for a good battle.

[AGREEMENT]

Yeah, but is Treecko the right Pokémon

to put in this battle?

Right.

He did lose this way once before.

Machop, Karate Chop!

[KARATE CHOP MOVE]

Dodge, Treecko!

[FOCUSED]

[EXERTION]

[ANGRY]

Treecko dodged it!

That's a good start.

Well, so far it's going better than the last time.

Well, dude, looks like you improved with age.

Yeah, but that was nothing.

You're about to see how much my training's paid off.

Okay, Treecko, imagine this is the forest

where you used to live.

[CURIOUS]

Now just pretend you're jumping from tree to tree

when you're moving around the b*ttlefield.

That's good. But not good enough to beat me.

Machop, use Karate Chop!

[KARATE CHOP MOVE]

[EXERTION]

[ANNOYED]

Machop, Karate Chop again!

[KARATE CHOP MOVE]

[KARATE CHOP MOVE]

Good job, Treecko. Keep it going!

Why do I get the feeling I've seen this battle before?

Because it's just like their last battle together

but they've swapped strategies.

Yeah, but if Ash is using Brawly's old strategy

then how is it possible Brawly is falling for it?

[EXERTION]

[TIRED]

Yes! Machop already looks really tired.

Machop, use Cross Chop!

[CROSS CHOP MOVE]

Now, Treecko, Quick Attack, go!

[QUICK ATTACK MOVE]

[PAINED]

- Machop has nothing left! - Yes, this looks good.

- No, this looks bad. - Huh?

[FOCUSED]

[EXERTION]

Machop?

Ash, remember what I told you

about the ebb and the flow of the tide?

- Huh? - The geyser!

You got to work with nature, dude.

Work with nature?

If you're not gonna move, then I will.

Machop, Cross Chop now!

[CROSS CHOP MOVE]

Get ready.

- What's going on? - This is bad.

Look out, Ash!

Brock 'The geyser's coming!'

Return, Treecko!

[FOCUSED]

Ah! Oh!

[PROUD]

Machop's so strong.

Yeah, that was a big rock!

Well that would've been Treecko if Ash hadn't returned it

to its Poké Ball in time.

[CONCERNED]

A lucky escape this time, little dude

but you'll never beat me by runnin' away.

You wait, I'll attack when it's right!

Corphish! I choose you!

[APPEARING]

Corphish, use Bubble Beam!

[BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

[PAINED]

Now use Crabhammer!

[CRABHAMMER MOVE]

Machop, block it with Karate Chop!

[KARATE CHOP MOVE]

Use Crabhammer again!

[CRABHAMMER MOVE]

[PAINED]

Whoa! Machop!

[PAINED]

Machop is unable to battle, Corphish wins.

Corphish, great job, buddy!

[EXCITED]

BRAWLY 'Return, Machop!'

Well, dude, I got to hand it to you.

You are gettin' better.

Yeah, I am, aren't I?

Alright, Ash still has a chance.

[EXCITED]

Yeah, as long as he doesn't get too full of himself.

Right, and Brawly hasn't even used his Hariyama yet.

Now fresh from the surf, Hariyama!

Ride it, dude!

[APPEARING]

Hariyama, use Arm Thrust!

[ARM THRUST MOVE]

Corphish, Harden now!

[HARDEN MOVE]

[ARM THRUST MOVE]

Hang on, Corphish.

Hariyama's too heavy to keep this up for much longer.

It'll slow down as it loses energy.

You're one optimistic dude.

Hariyama, keep up Arm Thrust!

[AFFIRMATIVE]

[ARM THRUST MOVE]

[FOCUSED]

Hey, what's up?

Why isn't Hariyama slowing down yet?

Ash, don't assume you're the only one

who's been training since our last battle.

You see, surfing has taught Hariyama

to build up its stamina.

Even with Harden, those attacks are gonna do

some real damage if they don't stop pretty soon.

[CONCERNED]

Corphish, jump in the water!

[EXERTION]

Hariyama, don't let it get away!

[FOCUSED]

Hariyama might be a good surfer

but it's too big to move around in the water

as easy as Corphish can.

Ash is pretty good.

Yeah, and using this b*ttlefield the right way

is the best strategy!

BROCK 'That's true.'

[FOCUSED]

[EXERTION]

Crabhammer!

[PAINED]

Wow, that was right on target.

Yeah, and it looks like it hit a weak spot.

[PROUD]

[PAINED]

Let's try something special, Hariyama.

Arm Thrust on the water.

[AFFIRMATIVE]

[ARM THRUST MOVE]

[SHOCKED]

- Corphish? - Now use Seismic Toss!

[SEISMIC TOSS MOVE]

MAY/BROCK/MAX Huh!

Corphish!

[DAZED]

Corphish is unable to battle, Hariyama wins!

Bonus! Good work, Hariyama!

You're one awesome fightin' dude!

[PROUD]

Good job, Corphish. You deserve a good rest.

- I can't believe Corphish lost. - Yeah.

I guess it's up to Treecko to try and turn things around.

Treecko, last time we lost after just one attack.

[POUND MOVE]

[EXERTION]

Huh!

Hariyama, Knock Off Attack, let's go!

[KNOCK OFF MOVE]

[PAINED]

[PAINED]

But this time, we won't lose.

Treecko, I choose you!

[APPEARING]

[FOCUSED]

Hariyama, Arm Thrust!

[ARM THRUST MOVE]

Dodge that, Treecko!

[FOCUSED]

[EXERTION]

Treecko, get ready

we're gonna keep using Pound Attack on its legs!

[EXERTION]

[POUND MOVE]

[PAINED]

[EXERTION]

Hariyama, Arm Thrust!

[ARM THRUST MOVE]

[EXERTION]

[POUND MOVE]

[PAINED]

How come Treecko keeps aiming attacks at its legs?

Because as strong as Hariyama is

that strength comes from its legs.

If Ash can weaken its legs

Hariyama will be left without much power.

I get it now!

So I guess Ash uses his head

more than you think.

[AGREEMENT]

[ARM THRUST MOVE]

[MOCKING]

Vital Throw now!

[AFFIRMATIVE]

[PAINED]

[VITAL THROW MOVE]

- Oh, no! - Good job, Treecko!

Hariyama's Vital Throw didn't work!

After all those attacks on its legs

it didn't have enough power.

[PAINED]

[TIRED]

[TIRED]

But Treecko seems to be getting pretty tired now.

Do you think it'll be able to keep that same strategy going?

Seems to me like they're both pretty exhausted.

Anything could happen.

[CONCERNED]

MAX/BROCK/MAY Huh!

There it is.

Fine with me. Now, we're going to need

some serious power to beat this Hariyama.

Treecko, this is the chance we've been waiting for right?

[AFFIRMATIVE]

Okay, little dude, the time's come to decide the match.

Ready, Hariyama!

[AFFIRMATIVE]

[FOCUSED]

Something's up.

I know, but I can't figure out what they're doing?

[WORRIED]

I have a pretty good idea.

Since this is the final battle, they're both planning to use

that geyser to boost what's left of their power.

[DETERMINED]

Hariyama, Knock Off Attack!

[KNOCK OFF MOVE]

Treecko, Pound Attack!

[POUND MOVE]

[KNOCK OFF MOVE]

[POUND MOVE]

MAY/MAX/BROCK/SHANA Huh!

[FOCUSED]

[FOCUSED]

[FOCUSED]

[DAZED]

[STUNNED]

Hariyama is unable to battle. Treecko wins.

'The winner is Ash from Pallet Town!'

Alright! Good job, Treecko! You're the best!

[PROUD]

BRAWLY 'Here's proof that you won at the Dewford Gym.'

'Take your Knuckle Badge, dude!'

Thanks a lot, Brawly.

You fought a great battle right to the end

without ever losing your focus!

Huh?

In trying to fix their faults

many Trainers end up losing their strengths too.

But, Ash, you managed to keep a cool head

even when surprises were thrown your way.

'Cause you're a cool dude!

I don't know, I guess I was probably

just caught up in the battle.

[AGREEMENT]

Ash was awesome, and what a great strategy.

I'm not sure how much of that was actually a strategy.

That's what makes Ash's battles so interesting.

I'm real proud of you, little dude.

If you keep on battling like that, believe me

you're gonna be a force to reckon with in the Hoenn League.

Keep on training, and be the best you can!

Yeah.

[AGREEMENT]

I will.

I earned a Knuckle Badge!

[PROUD]

NARRATOR After a challenging rematch against Brawly

Ash has earned his Knuckle Badge from the Dewford Gym.

So now he is one step closer

towards entering into the Hoenn League.
