16x42 - Team Rocket's Shocking Recruit!

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR Traveling with Pokémon


journalist Alexa our heroes continue their shipboard tour


of the Decolore Islands


as Pallet Town in the Kanto region gets closer and closer.


The next ship arrives this afternoon, right?


Correct! Now, this island's known for..


What kinds of Pokémon live here.


[IMPATIENT] Now, Ash, calm down.


I have to take care of something while were here.


A story?


Um-um.


Equipment trouble.


My camcorders not working so I have to get it repaired.


[SYMPATHETIC]


So, I'll meet you all back here before the ship leaves.


Have a good time!


[WARM]


What do you want to do?


A little rest and relaxation sounds good.


Right!


ASH This sure is tasty!


CILAN I made it so the fresh


herbs really stand out.


IRIS Master Chef Cilan!


CILAN 'I'm proud of the salad, too.'

'And you were supposed to look after Axew too!'


[ADAMANT]


[HUMILIATED] Emolga, apologize right now!


[INDIGNANT]


[EXERTION]


[CONCERNED]


Uh, don't look now. Emolga's gone.


Forget it. Emolga will be back soon enough.

ASH TEAM ROCKET'S SHOCKING RECRUIT!


[INDIGNANT]


[SURPRISED]/[ALARMED]


JESSIE One more time.


To gain maximum success, I say we use Operation X.


I beg to differ.


My Operation Y is chances


for success are far greater.


Nope! Operation Z is the operation for me!


[DISORIENTED]


[whimpering]


[SCARED] Look who we have here.


The Twerpettes Emolga, my dear.


It's like a Bug-type Pokémon



being drawn to the Team Rocket flame.


Except it's not a Bug type, silly.


Huh?


[CONFIDENT]/[CHALLENGING]


You want us to bring it on?


I think someone got up on the wrong side of the bed.


Emolga wants to rumble. Let's rumble!


Woobat, let's go!


[APPEARING]


Yamask, you too!


[APPEARING] Use Air Slash!


[AIR SLASH MOVE] [CONFIDENT]


Shadow Ball!


[SHADOW BALL MOVE]


[CONFIDENT]


[ATTRACT MOVE]


[ENCHANTED]


[gasps]


[DISCHARGE MOVE]


[PAINED] [HIDDEN POWER MOVE]


[PAINED]


[STUNNED]


Woobat and Yamask are unable to battle!


Come on, are you going


to referee night school or something?


Frillish, front and center!


[APPEARING]


Amoonguss as well!


[APPEARING]


Bubble Beam, go!


[BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]


Use Stun Spore!


[STUN SPORE MOVE]


[EXERTION]


[DISCHARGE MOVE]


[PAINED]


[HIDDEN POWER MOVE]


[PAINED]


[STUNNED]


Frillish and Amoonguss are unable to battle


so Emolga wins!


Stop reffing and go fight now!


[SMUG]


Huh?


JAMES/MEOWTH Um, yeah. Um, yeah.


Emolga, you're such a brave and strong Pokémon.


I think you should join Team Rocket.


[SHOCKED]


Your fortitude has pre-qualified you


to become a team member free of charge.


Act now and you'll get three gourmet meals


each and every day


along with all the naps you want to take


anytime you want to take them!


We'll even throw in a Rocket retirement plan.


We have those?


Last time I checked.


JESSIE 'What do you say?'


[UNSURE]


Team Rocket and Emolga blasts off at the speed of light.


Surrender now, or prepare for a quadruple fight.


Meowth, that's right.


[TRIUMPHANT]


[screaming]


IRIS Emolga, how could you?


[MISCHIEVOUS]


[EXCITED]


Emolga says it'd be glad to be part of the team.


That's so great, Emolga.


Since you and I are both really strong


we'll make a great team.


[PLEASED]


Okay. Everything should be just fine.


Thanks, Cilan.


[URGENT]


Wait, what do you want, Axew? [FRUSTRATED]


ASH/IRIS/CILAN Huh?


[CONCERNED]


Is this something about Emolga?


Hey, Emolga's not back yet!


You're right.


ASH 'Return!'


Snivy! What's up?


Huh? Oh. You're worried about Axew?


[AFFIRMATIVE]


IRIS 'Alright all of you return too.'


[AGREEMENT]


[INTENT]


Emolga should have been back a long time ago.


I hope it hasn't gotten into any trouble.


Huh?


What was that?


The sound of trouble, you'd best prepare.


With additional back up, you'd better beware.


[PROUD]


To protect the world from devastation.


To unite all people within our nation.


[PROUD]


To denounce the evils of Emo and love.


To extend our reach to the stars above.



It's Jessie.


And James.


[PROUD]


Team Rocket plus one blasts off at the speed of light.


Prepare for what I can only call a feisty, fusion fight.


Meowth, that's right.


[CONFIDENT]


Look. Emolga.


Emolga?


What are you doing with Team Rocket?


Emolga simply got wise


and decided to ditch you Twerps.


We're talking talent, strength and good taste.


What? You're part of Team Rocket?


That can't be right.


Oh, Emolga, why?


[DESPERATE]


[PROTECTIVE]


Yamask, go.


[APPEARING] Now, Yamask, Haze.


[HAZE MOVE]


[SURPRISED]


[WORRIED]


[ATTACK] [PAINED]


[ANGRY]


No, Axew.


Emolga. Why are you doing this?


[INDIGNANT] [OUTRAGED]


[INDIGNANT]


Oh, man. Oh, man.


What's the problem here?


Trust me. You don't want to know.


[VINE WHIP MOVE]


[PAINED]


[HIDDEN POWER MOVE] Emolga, stop.


[HIDDEN POWER MOVE] [EXERTION]


[SLEEPING]


[SHOCKED]


[DISTRESSED]


[DISCHARGE MOVE]


[PAINED]/[EXERTION]


[ANGRY]


Huh?


[FURIOUS]


Oy vey. [STERN]


You too?


Yipes, something tells me neither of these lugs


are gonna back down.


[LEAF BLADE MOVE]


[PAINED]


Snivy, stop. Emolga's your friend.


[URGENT]


[INDIGNANT]


[FURIOUS]


[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]


An Exploud.


I got to check it out.


Exploud. The Loud Noise Pokémon.


Exploud can produce a wide variety of sounds


'which are so loud they can be heard more than six miles away.'


Huh? [FLAMETHROWER MOVE]


[gasps]


[THUNDER PUNCH MOVE]


[ANGRY]


Let's go while the Twerps are preoccupied.


Hurry, hop inside.


[RESOLVED] [WORRIED]


ASH/IRIS/CILAN Huh?


Axew. Emolga.


[HYPER BEAM MOVE]


- Oh, no. - Let's go now!


But what about..


GROUP Who's that Pokémon?


It's Exploud.


You know? That Exploud was really mad.


[EMPHATIC]


There must be some reason why.


I just want to know why Emolga joined Team Rocket.


Come, come. I don't think Emolga really joined Team Rocket.


What in the world was it thinking?


[OUTRAGED]


I'm so angry, right, Snivy?


[SYMPATHETIC]


So why do you think Emolga would act this way?


Well, all I did was tell Emolga to apologize.


Maybe it has something to do with that.


[CONCERNED]


Hmm. But what?


[INSPIRED]


Huh?


[URGENT]


What is it, Pikachu?


Huh? Wait a minute.


Axew got hurt


and right after we finished treating its bump


then Team Rocket showed up.


Axew was trying to tell me something the whole time.


[EMPHATIC]


[UNSURE]


Hmm.



Perhaps the bump on Axew's head


had nothing to do with Emolga at all.


We could have made a mistake.


- Huh? - Huh?


Unfortunately, Axew's the only one who knows.


So, we have to find Axew and Emolga.


Now, Charizard, I choose you!


[APPEARING]


Alright, Dragonite, let's go!


[APPEARING]


You've got to help us find Team Rocket


because Emolga and Axew should be where they are.


Emolga's good, don't you think?


Yeah, we even grabbed Axew.


Two Pokémon for a song.


Once we get Emolga


to sign on the Team Rocket dotted line


we'll promote that powerhouse


to Head of Team Rocket recruits.


[ADAMANT]


You hear that? Translation.


I live to serve.


[URGENT]


[DISMISSIVE]


[DESPERATE]


[FRUSTRATED]


[CONCERNED]


[INSPIRED]


[CONTENT]


[ALARMED]


[PAINED]


[VALIANT]


[HAPPY]


[THANKFUL]


[MAGNANIMOUS]/[HAPPY]


Ehh.


- Alright. What's up? - Dig it.


Emolga just told Axew


that it's only pretending to join up with Team Rocket.


Pretending?


Next time we go to catch Pikachu


Emolga's gonna mess us up.


After that, Emolga's gonna go back to the Twerpette


with Axew and Pikachu, while we're left


holding the empty bag.


What?


Does that mean Emolga's only siding with us


to grab the Twerpette's attention?


You got it.


The nerve. How selfish. How cheap.


And we know cheap.


I guess we'll just have to teach them


how terrifying Team Rocket can be.


JAMES Hey, here's an item of interest.


Eeh.


It's just a cave. So what?


It's what's inside.


There's that cranky Exploud.


Cranky from being awakened.


I'm not exactly thrilled when that happens to me.


That would explain why it got all wacko.


Huh. Sleeping Beauty could go from hothead to big help.


[URGENT]


[RELIEVED]


[URGENT]


[DETERMINED]


ASH/IRIS/CILAN Huh?


They found them.


- Okay, let's go. - Right.


PIKACHU [URGENT]


[SURPRISED]


[WORRIED]/[ALARMED]


What's going on?


What's going on is us, you dummy.


'Twerps always make things quite crummy.'


MEOWTH 'That's enough motto for today.'


We'll be taking Pikachu now, thank you.


[DISTRESSED]


[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]


You're wasting your electricity. The bolt stops here.


Let's go, Woobat.


And you, Yamask.


[APPEARING]


And don't you Twerps forget


we also have Emolga.


[EMPHATIC]


[URGENT]


Axew!


[URGENT]


No, Axew!


Huh?


So that's what happened.


Emolga was only trying to help Axew.


I thought that zap was from Emolga's Discharge


but it was really from Galvantula's Electro Ball.


Emolga, I'm sorry I misunderstood.


Now, I realize you were only trying to help Axew out.


[SURPRISED]


[MAGNANIMOUS]


[SYMPATHETIC]



[SATISFIED]


Emolga says since the misunderstanding's been resolved


they're going back.


[laughing] I don't think so.


Forgive and forget's not the Team Rocket way.


- Meowth. - Right.


Lower the boom.


[ALARMED]


Axew! Emolga!


What? What is that?


MEOWTH One more pushie-wushie.


[SURPRISED]


[FURIOUS]


Exploud can be one unhappy camper


when its beauty sleep is rudely interrupted.


For betraying us, Emolga and Axew


are heading for what I like to call Paybackville.


And then, you'll watch them become Team Rocketeers


right before your eyes.


No, you can't!


[SCARED] [PROTECTIVE]


[THUNDER PUNCH MOVE]


[PAINED]


[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]


[PROTECTIVE]


Huh? Dragonite. Save Emolga and Axew and please hurry.


Ice Beam, let's go!


[ICE BEAM MOVE]


Now, Dragon Rush!


[DRAGON RUSH MOVE]


[PAINED]


[THUNDERPUNCH MOVE]


[WORRIED]


[PROTECTIVE]/[PAINED]


Huh? Emolga!


Charizard, use Wing Attack on that cage!


[WING ATTACK MOVE]


[PAINED]


[laughing] Underestimate Team Rocket?


- Bad Twerps. - They'll never learn.


[DISTRESSED]


[VINDICTIVE]


IRIS Uh. Axew.


[HIDDEN POWER MOVE]


[SURPRISED]


[DISTRESSED]


[THANKFUL]


Quick. We've got to help out Pikachu.


[DETERMINED]


Now, Woobat, use Air Slash.


[AIR SLASH MOVE] [EXERTION]


Yamask, Shadow Ball!


[SHADOW BALL MOVE]


[CONFIDENT]


Use Vine Whip.


[VINE WHIP MOVE]


[PAINED]


Now, Leaf Storm!


[LEAF STORM MOVE]


[PAINED]


Snivy, Leaf Blade!


[LEAF BLADE MOVE]


[EXCITED]


Yes.


We still got that crappy Exploud, punks.


[HYPER BEAM MOVE]


[TERRIFIED]


[DRAGON RUSH MOVE]


[EXCITED]


[THUNDERPUNCH MOVE]


[ANGRY]


[INTENT]


Charizard, Dragon Tail!


Quick, Dragonite, Dragon Rush!


[DRAGON TAIL MOVE]


[DRAGON RUSH MOVE]


[PAINED]


So you think you're the only one with problems?


JESSIE Being angry is only going


to raise your blood pressure.


It's going to get loud around here.


[THUNDERPUNCH MOVE]


TEAM ROCKET We're blasting off family style.


[laughing] Emolga, are you okay?


Thanks for protecting Axew.


[PLEASED]


I'm really sorry. I had the facts all wrong.


[PLEASED]


[CONTRITE]


[JUBILANT]/[DELIGHTED]


The sounds of happy playing.


Yeah.


But I still have a long way to go


to be able to truly understand my Pokémon.


By living alongside and battling with your Pokémon


- you'll be fine. - Yeah, Cilan's right.


[OPTIMISTIC]


[PLAYFUL]


IRIS 'Yeah.'


Sounds like you had quite an adventure.



We sure did.


It was so amazing to be able to understand


everything Axew was thinking.


[IMPRESSED]


You know what?


Perhaps you're one step closer


to becoming a Dragon Master.


Huh? Wow, you think so? That'd be awesome.


Bet you think that too, right, Axew?


[EMPHATIC]


NARRATOR And so, a misunderstanding


between Iris and Emolga


has ended up strengthening the bond between them.


As they sail off, our heroes are one step closer


on the road to fulfilling their dreams


as the journey continues.
