CORPHISH [EXERTION]

TORCHIC [CRYING]

Uh, what's goin' on, Torchic?

[CRYING]

I'm not sure, but I think maybe

your Corphish has eaten all of Torchic's food, Ash.

Why would you do that, Corphish?

CORPHISH/TORCHIC [EXERTION]/[CRYING]

Alright, I want you to apologize to Torchic right this minute.

[UNHAPPY]

[ANGRY]

MUDKIP/PIKACHU [CONCERNED]

[UNHAPPY]

Hey, Corphish, what's your problem?

[ANGRY]

Come on, Torchic, calm down.

What's everyone gettin' so worked up about?

I think food is one thing that nobody wants to share.

this whole thing by eating Torchic's..

PIKACHU/MUDKIP [SCARED]

[RELAXING]

[stomach growling]

I always thought my last words would be

something more profound than a stomach growl.

It feels like it's been forever since we ate anything.

No, just two days, hours minutes

and six seconds, but who's counting?

How could an evil genius like myself have ended up

lying here dreaming of a juicy cheeseburger?

I hate to admit it but right now I might even

settle for peanut butter and jelly.

Yeah, things just never quite roll our way, do they?

[AGREEMENT]

Hm? Ah.

I think I'm so delirious, I'm seeing imaginary apples.

Huh, hold on. It's a real apple.

Yay! How lovely, James.

Well, as they say, "Ladies first."

Not!

Hey, take care of your Pokémon first.

[EXERTION]

[ANGRY]

Look at all of the fruit.

So, this fruit belongs to the Shroomish.

Goody, so let's take it all away from them.

[AGREEMENT]

[PANIC]

TEAM ROCKET Get back here with those apples.

Uh, about time you settled down, what's goin' on with you?

TORCHIC [SCARED]

[ANNOYED]

Good thinkin', Grovyle, thanks for helpin' us out.

[PLEASED]

PIKACHU/MUDKIP [RELIEVED]

[ANGRY]

JESSIE 'Those Shroomish are annoying.'

'What are they saying, Meowth?'

They're sayin' this is their forest

includin' all of the fruit

and they want us to give it back.

Or else what, they'll charge us with grand theft apple?

Ooh, I'm afraid.

[AGREEMENT]

[ANGRY]

TEAM ROCKET Hm?

Seems they've called for backup.

Why? So theyse can whine louder?

It'll take something more threatening than a Shroomish

to get this apple away from me.

JAMES/MEOWTH Yeah!

[EVOLVING]

MEOWTH Uh-oh, I think they're up to somethin'.

[EXERTION]

- Like, around three feet? - They evolved into Breloom.

JESSIE 'They look a bit stronger now.'

'Do you think they're still upset about the apples?'

[gasps]

[ATTACK]

My guess is, yep, they're still pretty mad.

[ANGRY]

[panting]

Return, Wobbuffet now.

[ANGRY]

I'm gonna make some more food just for Torchic this time.

Thank you, Brock.

[HAPPY]

[screaming]

- Hm? - What's that?

[panting]

- Team Rocket. - What do you want?

Prepare for trouble, we're hungry to fight.

- Make it double, we're-- - Hey.

Forget that, there's food here.

JESSIE/JAMES Wow!

TEAM ROCKET Dinner is served!

Guess they're not too concerned about table manners.

Ah! That hit the spot.

TEAM ROCKET Full tummies, happy hearts.

We are the world.

Yes, peace and love.

Now, back to evil.

How far did I get?

Right around to make it double.

Right. Make it double!

JESSIE 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. - And James.

Team Rocket ate your lunch at the speed of light.

Surrender now or prepare to fight, fight, fight.

That's right.

[AGREEMENT]

Anyway, so who're you guys trying to get away from?

Oh, yeah.

A hoard of angry mushroom caps are running after us.

Let's cut to the chase.

[EXERTION]

They're Breloom.

- How cool. - Wow.

TEAM ROCKET Keep those things away from us.

POKEDEX Breloom, the Mushroom Pokémon.

Breloom is the evolved form of Shroomish.

It's excellent footwork gets it within striking distance

of its opponent, where it unleashes a barrage of punches.

[ANGRY]

Those are some angry Breloom.

You three creeps must have done something to upset them.

We did not.

Now, we might just possibly

have eaten a few apples they claim were theirs.

You stole their food?

Okay, so we stole some of their lousy apples.

Argh, but they had tons of 'em anyway

and we were practically starving to death.

Calm down, Jessie.

You maybe are making 'em more mad?

I don't care how mad they get.

Now, I'll tell you one more thing.

Your precious fruit wasn't even all that good.

How do you like them apples?

[MACH PUNCH MOVE]

That's a Mach Punch attack.

[all screaming]

[WORRIED]

Are you alright?

[AFFIRMATIVE]

Hmm? Where are we?

[screams]

I've got an idea, Mudkip, let's not look down.

[AGREEMENT]

Come on, follow me.

[EXERTION]

CORPHISH [CONFUSED]

TORCHIC [CONTENT]

[SAD]

[EXERTION]

[CRYING]

[EXERTION]

[SURPRISED]

May! Max!

Mudkip, Torchic, where are you?

PIKACHU [CONCERNED]

This could be a big problem with us getting split up.

Yeah, the quicker we all get back together

the more defenses we'll have against those Breloom.

PIKACHU [EXCITED]

ASH/BROCK Huh?

[URGING]

Hey, yeah, you can search by air.

Good idea, you two.

Good, they'll be able to see a lot farther than us.

PIKACHU/SWELLOW [AGREEMENT]/[EXERTION]

How about we start lookin' around other places?

Alright.

[CHALLENGING]

Uh, so you wanna battle with me now, huh?

Probably not the right time for that, Ash.

It's the perfect time.

Besides, they're the ones who wanna fight.

- Hm? - Where did everybody go?

MAX/MEOWTH Hm?

- Uh, Meowth. - Little Twerp?

This whole thing is your fault in the first place

for gettin' the Breloom so angry.

- You, apple thief. - Yeah.

I was hoping we could put the past behind us

and just work together.

- Wait. - Breloom and they sound close.

CORPHISH/TORCHIC [EXERTION]

Huh, it's good to see you guys.

[EXCITED]

- Come on, let's find everyone. - Hmm.

I'm makin' decisions around here and I say

it's best to stay put and wait for someone

to find us, that's the plan.

Okay, okay, wait up. We'll go find them.

I wonder where all of the others ended up?

[WORRIED]

Oh, that's right, the fin on your head

works kind of like radar doesn't it, Mudkip?

Do you think you can find 'em?

[CONFIDENT]

Wait. Someone's coming.

[screaming]

- Oh, no. - Help us.

We're running so fast, we can't stop.

- Team Rocket? - Help us, Twerpette.

Watch out for that last step.

[screams]

Well, that could have been a whole lot worse.

JESSIE/JAMES Hm?

Talk about risking life and limb.

BRELOOM [EXERTION]

We have two choices, climb up the cliff

and get beaten to a pulp by angry Mushroom Pokémon.

Or else jump.

[sobbing]

[EXERTION]

[WORRIED]

[EXERTION]

[SAD]

[EXERTION]

So what's up with those two?

Torchic's afraid it'll never see May again.

Cryin' don't help, I already tried that.

Let's get back to searching.

Hmph, I'm the brains of this operation

and I say we're gonna stay right here

and wait until somebody finds us.

Huh? Hey, wait.

Where do you guys think you're goin' without me?

You need me! Alright, alright, I'm comin'.

[SURPRISE]

Are you picking up something, Mudkip?

[AGREEMENT]

Then we'll head that way.

Brock, I think we need to battle 'em.

No, we don't have any quarrel with the Breloom.

They're just angry and confused.

But we can't keep runnin' away from them forever.

- Let's go, Breloom. - No, Ash.

[ANGRY]

Oh, yeah, take that, and that, and that

and that, and that, and that, and that, and that.

- That's enough, Ash, come on. - Let go of me, Brock.

If these Breloom want a battle, I'll give 'em a battle.

Forget about it and calm down, Ash.

We need to concentrate on finding the others.

[screams]

MAX So much for this trail, it's a dead end.

TORCHIC [WORRIED]

MAX What, Torchic?

MEOWTH 'Look at all that fresh fruit!'

I wonder who stored all this up?

I got a feelin' we're gonna find out pretty quick.

[EXERTION]

[screams]

They think we came to steal all their stash.

[screams]

Forretress, use Rapid Spin. Go.

[RAPID SPIN MOVE]

- Whoa, that was close. - Perfect timing, Forretress.

[PLEASED]

Are you nuts?

We could have been squished.

- Very rude. - What are you talkin' about?

We saved you and this is all your fault anyway.

[EXERTION]

Hey, what's up, Swellow?

[URGING]

[IRON TAIL MOVE]

Is everyone alright?

TORCHIC/MUDKIP/PIKACHU [WORRIED]

CORPHISH [WEAK]

MAY/MAX Corphish.

[STRUGGLING]

[EXERTION]

TORCHIC [PROTECTING]

[EVOLVING]

Whoa, Torchic.

[SURPRISED]

- Check it out. - Yeah, it's starting to evolve.

CORPHISH/PIKACHU [SURPRISE]

[APPEARING]

Torchic evolved into a Combusken.

POKEDEX Combusken, the Young Fowl Pokémon.

Combusken is the evolved form of Torchic.

As a Fighting Pokémon it has the ability to breathe

raging fire from it's beak and to unleash high powered kicks.

A Combusken, cool.

[CONFIDENT]

[SURPRISED]

- We finally found you. - Meowth.

MAX Ash! Brock!

PIKACHU [HAPPY]

MEOWTH Where you been?

BROCK Wait a sec, did your Torchic evolve?

MAY It sure did.

Combusken. It looks strong.

[CHALLENGING]

What's it want?

The head Breloom wants to battle

one on one with Combusken.

[DETERMINED]

[IRON TAIL MOVE]

- Iron Tail. - Wow, well.

Go, Peck, Combusken.

[PECK MOVE]

BRELOOM [PAINED]

Okay, now, Ember.

I bet you, Fire Spin might be an even better attack.

Okay, Fire Spin, Combusken.

[FIRE SPIN MOVE]

[EXERTION]

[ATTACK]

[ATTACK]

Oh, no! What now?

Remember, it's a Fighting type now.

So, you can still beat Breloom if you just keep your cool.

That's right, you can probably use Sky Uppercut.

Right, So, Sky Uppercut.

BRELOOM/COMBUSKEN [STUNNED]

So what were they just saying, Meowth?

"Not a bad punch." "Yours too."

How nice, they've earned each other's respect.

Yes, there's nothing stronger than a friendship

formed in battle, I always say.

[EXERTION]

[EXERTION]

Hm-hm.

I certainly agree with

everything you're trying to say.

What they're sayin' is they're gonna make us pay

for stealing the fruit.

- Hm. - Ah!

[ATTACK]

[ATTACK]

[screams]

- Whoa! - That smarts.

Their apples had weedles anyway.

[AGREEMENT]

TEAM ROCKET Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again.

[FRIENDLY]

Everything's okay.

They went from enemies to friends.

Fighting Pokémon must have a lot in common.

PIKACHU/CORPHISH [HAPPY]

Hey, I just realized

it's been a long time since I ate anything.

Yeah, I'm pretty hungry too

so, why don't we take a lunch break?

ASH/MAY/MAX Good idea.

SWELLOW/PIKACHU/MUDKIP/CORPHISH [HAPPY]

Combusken was awesome in it's first battle.

Yeah, all that close combat with Breloom was amazing.

It gave me all kinds of ideas for my next battle.

CORPHISH/COMBUSKEN [HAPPY]

[ANGRY]

[SCARED]

[LAUGHING]

NARRATOR Having evolved into a Combusken

May's Torchic shows off some powerful fighting abilities.

And now, Ash is more determined than ever

to get to his next Gym battle
