06x40 - Watt's with Wattson?

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR Working toward entry into the Hoenn League

Ash has earned two badges so far

the Rustboro Gym Stone Badge

and the Dewford Gym Knuckle Badge.

But today, Ash is focused on his third badge

as our Heroes arrive at the Mauville City Gym.

We're finally here, guys

and my third badge is in there waiting for me!

[EXCITED]

Yeah, that's the spirit!

You'll get it, Ash, for sure!

Oh, man, I can't wait for this one!

It's gonna be awesome!

Yeah!

ASH I'm here for a Gym.. Whoa!

- What's this? - How weird.

[gasping]

This is how they welcome you into the Gym?

[laughs] I feel like I'm on a ride

at the amusement park!

ASH/MAY/MAX/BROCK Whoa!

Well, I'm not very amused.

Just...like a...roller coaster!

[screaming]

Welcome, my friends, to a place where fun never ends!

ASH "Watt's with Wattson."

[laughing]

WATT Boss.

Did you turn up the power on that thing again?

Of course, it's my way of welcoming

challengers to the Gym!

If you're gonna do something, do it big!

Watching those youngsters on that ride

makes me feel like I'm playing right along with them!

[laughing]

[screaming]

Yes, but, sir, perhaps you've gone too far?

Nonsense! Just think of this as a little warm up before battle!

- But, sir-- - Shh!

They're getting close to the best part.

[groans]

Well, this is no way

for a Gym Leader to welcome its guests!

You're right. Seems like a strange way to say hello.

Aw, come on, guys, I think it's fun!

[EXERTION]

[gasping]

A Raikou!

[EXERTION]

[ATTACK]

[screaming]

Quick! Use Thunderbolt!

[AGREEMENT]

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

Now, use Iron Tail!

[IRON TAIL MOVE]

[SURPRISE]

Pikachu!

[WORRIED]

[SCARED]

So that Raikou was just a fake?

I think so.

Pikachu, are you okay?

[CONFIDENT]

- That was great, great! - Huh?

WATTSON And I must confess.

I never thought I'd see the day when my Electro-Raikou

was turned into a pile of scrap metal!

[laughing]

Hi, folks! Welcome to the Mauville Gym!

So, you're the Gym Leader?

Guilty! I'm Mr. Wattson

Leader extraordinaire of the Mauville Gym!

And him, that's Watt.

- My assistant. - Hm.

Cool! I'm Ash, from Palette Town!

I've come here for a battle.

And I'm here to win my third badge!

I haven't seen a challenger with that much spunk in a long time.

Yes, this will be good.

Ash, you and I have a battle date!

[laughing]

MEOWTH 'Looks like someone just abandoned'

this fully working Power Plant.

But that don't make no sense.

With a view like this, know what I'm thinking it is?

Only the perfect base.

Done, feast your eyes

on the first Team Rocket secret base in the Hoenn region!

Let's go check out the new digs!

JESSIE/JAMES Hah-ha!

[ANGRY]

[whimpering]

[ANGRY]

[whimpering]

- See that? - I did.

Just great, this place is filled

with a mob of freeloading Pokémon squatters.

With enough electricity to light up the Hoenn Region.

We better hope that none of them got a short fuse.

So then, there's one way to claim this base.

We march back in there, look 'em in the eye

and tell 'em who's boss!

JESSIE/JAMES Hmm.

JESSIE/JAMES Or we walk away!

- Yup! - And that's that!

- Can't win 'em all. - Hold it!

Are you telling me you're a couple of quitters?

The way I sees it

we got a double opportunity here!

A new Team Rocket Base

and we give those Pokémon to the Boss!

MEOWTH A teeny little zap from those Voltorb

will wake the Boss ever so gentle.

And thanks to Magnemite

he'll get all his electricity for free.

I can almost hear him now

saying those words I long to hear.

"These Electric Pokémon Meowth and friends gave me

are great and I'm gonna help 'em all out!"

MEOWTH [laughing]

JESSIE/JAMES Yay!

Big bonuses.

Undeserved respect.

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Executives!

Then we can't let a bunch of electro-bullies

keep us from fame and fortune, right?

JAMES/MEOWTH Right!

[AGREEMENT]

WATT And now, the Mauville Gym battle will begin!

'Each Trainer will use three Pokémon!'

'The battle ends when all three of either Trainer's Pokémon'

'are unable to continue!'

WATTSON 'I'll be battling with this Voltorb'

Magnemite and Magneton!

I've been working with these three

for a great number of years!

So, the Mauville Gym is an Electric Pokémon Gym.

It's kinda surprising he would reveal

what Pokémon he'll be using.

Yeah, that's confidence.

I wonder what Pokémon Ash is gonna use first?

Hey, Treecko's strong against

Electric Pokémon, that would work!

Hmm, but a Water Pokémon like Corphish wouldn't work.

Right, I'll bet Taillow would do okay.

Heh, even though Taillow's a Flying-type Pokémon

I still think it'd be a pretty good match up.

[EXCITED]

You're ready to go, huh?

ASH 'Alright then, I choose you!'

[EXCITED]

He's starting with Pikachu. Wow.

I get it. Ash is gonna jump right into this battle head on!

[laughing]

Great! Super!

Like I said, you've got spunk

starting with an Electric Pokémon!

You asked for this. Here we go!

Use Swift, Magnemite!

[SWIFT MOVE]

Okay! Dodge and use Thunderbolt!

[laughs] Electric Attacks are useless

against my Pokémon, Ash!

[EXERTION]

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[STRUGGLING]/[DAZED]

But, but how?

Oh, what? Uh, Magnemite cannot battle! Pikachu wins!

Yes! Good job, Pikachu!

[CONFIDENT]

Man, it beat Magnemite with one attack.

Unbelievable!

What's unbelievable is how powerful

that Thunderbolt Attack was.

[laughing]

I guess for every rule there's an exception!

Now, Voltorb, use Screech!

[SCREECH MOVE]

Pikachu, Thunderbolt one more time!

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[PAINED]

[DAZED]

Not again!

Winning twice in a row with one attack?

Voltorb's unable to battle. Pikachu wins!

Now, Magneton, a real Electric Attack!

Zap Cannon!

[ZAP CANNON MOVE]

Alright, use Thunder!

[THUNDER MOVE]

[PAINED]

[DAZED]

- Impossible! - There's no way!

Magneton is unable to battle!

WATT 'Pikachu's the winner!'

'This match goes to Ash from Palette Town!'

Great job, Pikachu!

[CONFIDENT]

Ah! A clean sweep for Pikachu!

With only one attack each time!

Wow, I've never seen Pikachu look better!

Uh, uh. Hm.

Ash, powerful stuff. Take this.

- 'The Dynamo Badge' - Thanks, Mr. Wattson.

[chuckling]

Sure! You beat me, Ash, but good!

You know, boss..

- 'Pikachu, what's wrong?' - Huh?

Hey, buddy, you don't look so good.

[WEAK]

Ah! Oh, no! You're burnin' up!

WATTSON 'Here you go.'

Nurse Joy, thanks for caring for them.

You're welcome.

Um, Mr. Wattson?

Does this mean you're not going to wait here

until your Pokémon have recovered?

No, I'm not. I'll send my assistant to pick them up.

Huh.

Something's troubling Mr. Wattson.

That big, wonderful laugh of his is gone.

Nurse Joy! It's my Pikachu!

Quick, come! What's wrong?

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[PAINED]

[PAINED]

[PAINED]

I can't believe it.

One little Pikachu showed me up.

A loss like that could short-circuit

my Electric Gym Leader career.

And then what would I do?

Huh?

[EXERTION]

An Electrike.

[HAPPY]

Well, look at you.

You're sure friendly for a wild Electrike.

[HAPPY]

Hold on. I must have something in my pocket.

WATTSON 'Want some?'

[HAPPY]

You like that?

[HAPPY]

It's pretty good, huh?

[laughing]

Pikachu..

[PAINED]

Pikachu's electricity level is reading much higher

than it normally would.

Has there been any exposure to high voltage recently?

Yeah, there has.

[PAINED]

Then that's when this overcharge occurred.

An overcharge is very dangerous.

It allows incredible energy to be released for a short time

but it also puts a lot of stress on Pikachu.

Of course, that's why Pikachu's Electric Attacks

were so amazingly powerful.

- Huh? - At my Gym battle!

See, Pikachu won all three rounds straight through!

You mean you swept a Gym battle? Ah..

[WEAK]

[EXCITED]

That's great! You'll be just fine!

[EXCITED]

Mm, I'm sorry, pal. I should have realized it.

[HAPPY]

- Nurse Joy! - Huh?

Have you seen my boss anywhere?

Mr. Wattson? He was just here a minute ago.

But it was strange

he wasn't acting like himself at all.

- I know. - Hmm?

I just found out he's abandoning the Gym!

What?

Take a look at this note he left me.

"Many times in life people find themselves

"shorting out at one time or another

"and for me that happened today.

'"Please pick up my Pokémon'

'"being treated at the Pokémon Center.'

'Thanks, Watt. Take care, Wattson."'

Oh, no! We've got to find Mr. Wattson right away!

He needs to know that your Gym battle was a mistake!

Yeah!

What do you mean the battle was a mistake?

Pikachu had gotten overcharged by accident.

So its attacks were more powerful than normal.

Huh!

You know, Mr. Wattson just might be at his favorite spot.

I mean that little island with the abandoned power plant.

I'll bet you're right!

He used to train there all the time!

Quick, we've got to get there

and explain everything to Mr. Wattson!

[AGREEMENT]

[laughing]

There, there.

Hey, stop doing that. It tickles!

Electrike, do you happen to know any Electric Attacks?

[HAPPY]

[THUNDER WAVE MOVE]

Thunder Wave.

My Magnemite had quite a struggle

with it at first too, like you!

Huh?

What's all this?

[laughing] Ready?

Your power plant days are numbered!

Yeah, less than one!

[PANICKED]

Come on in! Plenty of room for everyone!

Which means, plenty of moolah for the three of us!

[ANGRY]

[SURPRISE]

Hey, listen up, this thing is built

just for catching Electric Pokémon.

So you're wasting your energy with all those volts!

Stop this! Just who do you think you are?

Prepare for trouble now here's a shock.

You can make it double around the clock.

To protect the world from devastation.

JAMES 'To unite all peoples within our nation.'

JESSIE 'To denounce the evils of truth and love.'

To extend our reach to the stars above.

- Jessie! - James!

Team Rocket sparks wonderment at the speed of light!

Surrender now or prepare to fight, fight, fight!

MEOWTH That's right!

[AGREEMENT]

MAY/MAX/BROCK Team Rocket!

Not you guys! What do you want?

- I got this! - Please come back to the Gym!

It's too late. Let an old soldier fade away.

Mr. Wattson, you don't understand!

[EXCITED]

Huh?

- Yoo-hoo! - Hey, Pikachu!

We want you!

[STRUGGLING]

Pikachu!

And I'll take one Electrike too!

[EXERTION]

Electrike!

Hey, that's enough!

MEOWTH 'One more thing!'

[screaming]

So while we make our brilliant escape

you all can surf the net!

- Later! - Much later!

[SHOCKED]

[SCARED]

[grunting]

I'm coming, Pikachu!

- Wait just a second, Ash! - Huh?

You just leave this to me. I've got me an idea.

♪ We're so smart ♪

♪ We're number one what a blast ♪♪

Beauty! And we owe it all to my Absorb-a-zap-o-matic Mark Six!

Huh? What's that?

JAMES 'It looks like an overripe Raikou!'

MEOWTH If it's a Raikou, someone super sized it.

We've got you now, Team Rocket!

[EXERTION]

[whimpering]

- Uh, Meowth? - Huh?

If I remember correctly, Raikou are strong.

But not to worry.

This machine is resistible against all Electric Attacks.

Yes, Meowth, b-but is it guaranteed to be Raikou-proof?

Don't count on that.

Foretress, Rapid Spin!

Torchic, Ember!

[APPEARING]/[RAPID SPIN MOVE]

[APPEARING]/[EMBER MOVE]

[RAPID SPIN MOVE]

Go away! You can't come in!

[EXERTION]

[screaming]

Meowth, can this contraption

do any attacks at all?

No, but it was cheap.

Raikou. Keep that stare of yours locked on target!

- Mr. Wattson? - Hm?

I thought you said our Electro-Raikou

was too damaged to use anymore

and you were going to toss it out?

Yes, Watt, that was the plan, but its roar reminds me

of my sixth grade teacher, so I couldn't let go!

[sighs]

Relax, this is just what we need

to stop them in their tracks.

[EXERTION]

[ANGRY]

[IRON TAIL MOVE]

Iron Tail!

[IRON TAIL MOVE]

[EXERTION]

[EXERTION]

Raikou's all bark and apparently no bite.

I think so.

Now's our chance to fight!

Seviper, use Poison Tail now!

Cacnea, Pin m*ssile!

[APPEARING]

[APPEARING]

Wrong direction, Cacnea!

[POISON TAIL MOVE]

[gasping]

That big old Raikou was a rip-off!

[IRON TAIL MOVE]

[EXERTION]

You guys, the Boss's gifts are running away.

You said we were insulated against Electric Attacks.

Didn't you, Meowth?

I don't believe that insulated was the word I used.

Anyways, it was Iron Tail and Bite that got us!

Now, I'm gonna get you!

[EXCITED]

Pikachu! Are you feeling okay?

[HAPPY]

Electrike, and how about you?

[HAPPY]

If nothing else, I'm taking that Pikachu!

Seviper, Poison Tail!

[POISON TAIL MOVE]

[EXERTION]

Cacnea! Pin m*ssile!

[PIN m*ssile MOVE]

[EXERTION]

Pikachu, Thunderbolt them now!

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[PAINED]

Now, use Quick Attack!

[AGREEMENT]/[QUICK ATTACK MOVE]

[PAINED]

[gasping]

Mighty fancy attacking, Ash!

[EXCITED]

[grunting]

Okay, you're my last hope.

Let's show them, Dustox! Ugh!

[APPEARING]

Dustox, dear, blow them away!

[AGREEMENT]

[SHOCKED]

Uh, Pikachu!

Finish them with Psybeam!

[PSYBEAM MOVE]

Electrike! Thunder Wave!

[THUNDER WAVE MOVE]

[CONFUSED]

Yeah! That got Dustox all confused!

Now, Pikachu! Use Thunderbolt!

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[PAINED]

[screaming]

Team Rocket's blasting off again!

Pikachu! Great job!

[EXCITED]

[HAPPY]

Pikachu! You saved all those Magnemite, buddy!

[HAPPY]

[HAPPY]

[HAPPY]

Pikachu's right!

They both worked together

to save the Magnemite!

Mr. Wattson.

- This badge isn't mine. - Huh?

That Gym battle of ours wasn't fair.

Wasn't fair? What?

Well, sir, Pikachu got supercharged with electricity

when it blasted our Raikou.

Yeah, that made Pikachu's attacks

a lot more powerful than normal.

Well, that makes sense.

But still, Ash, I think you should

keep that badge anyway.

Why?

Your Pikachu may have been

more powerful than usual

in our Gym battle, but I watched Pikachu

rescue those Pokémon, and seeing how well

you two worked together won me over!

So there's no doubt you're the most deserving

of this Dynamo Badge.

Are you sure?

He only tells the truth, Ash. It's yours!

Thanks. Mr. Wattson!

Yeah! I got a Dynamo Badge!

[EXCITED]

Way to go, Ash!

Brock/May Great job!

Thanks, Max. Thanks, guys

Say, I'd better be getting back to my Gym!

I've got me an Electrike to start working with!

[HAPPY]

Excuse me, sir, you are going to be the Gym Leader, right?

Of course, Watt!

To tell the truth, lately I think

I've been acting a little too cautiously.

It's time for this Electric Pokémon Trainer

to make a fresh start!

Ha, I have a favor to ask, Ash.

Once this Electrike grows up a bit more

how about a battle?

You bet, I'll be looking forward to that.

[EXCITED]

I'm so happy you're still going to be

the Gym Leader and my boss.

No tears, Watt!

We're only going to have smiles

from here on in.

This is the place where the fun never ends.

[laughing]

NARRATOR Our heroes leave the Electric Gym Leader

Mr. Wattson re-energized

and with a new sense of fun.

Now, with his Dynamo Badge in hand
