23x32 - Time After Time!

[bunniefuu]

You know, I wish mom had come along, too.

Well, that's one's on us for making plans

on the very same day as her karaoke competition.

Goh, you seem quiet. Are you feeling carsick?

Goh?

Are you feeling all right?

She asked if you're feeling carsick.

Carsick?

Hey, I've never felt better!

How about you two? You okay?

You were awake all hours of the night finishing your work.

[laughs]

That was to make sure we could leave today!

We feel better than fine!

Now that's just what I wanna hear!

Oh, by the way, why did you choose Azalea Town again?

[Camille] Well, last time we were so busy, we never got a chance to relax!

So, your mom and I talked about it and decided.

This is going to be a vacation to remember!

All right! Can't wait!

[Goh] "Time After Time."

[narrator] Goh and his family are on vacation,

visiting Azalea Town in the Johto region.

All right, Sunflora, it's up to you.

Kima. Kima!

[Walker] Hello again, Mr. Norris!

Thanks for putting us up again.

[Norris] Well, long time no see! Has it been four years or three?

It's been three!

[Norris] Oh, hello, young man! Your name is…

My name's Goh.

[Norris] Wow! You've gotten so big!

He's ten years old already.

And he's a Pokémon Trainer, too.

[Norris] So, are those your partners?

Yeah, these two are Raboot and Sobble.

[Norris] Aww…

Sobble.

It's gone!

It's good to see you, Sunflora!

Kima?

-Kima. -[chuckles]

Guess I've grown a little bit!

Here you go. The key to the cottage.

Remember, when you check out…

[Walker] We'll put it in the mailbox. Got it!

You all have a good time!

[Walker] Whoa! You know, the view from here is the absolute best!

The fresh air, the peace and quiet.

[sighs] Now we can relax!

What's the plan? Mom? Dad?

Uh, asleep just like that.

[chuckles]

Looks like they could use a nap. They were up all night long.

So, whaddaya say? How about catching some Johto Pokémon?

-Sobble. -Raboot.

So which Pokémon live around here?

-[hooting] -Huh?

[gasps]

Man! What's the deal with Mom and Dad falling asleep

the minute we get here?

And how am I supposed to have any fun right here in the middle of a forest?

[hooting]

Huh?

Hoothoot. Hoothoot.

[chuckles] Cool! A Hoothoot!

-Ledyba! Ledyba! Ledyba! -Yanma! Yanma! Yanma!

Wow. Huh?

-Sentret. -Teddriursa.

Dunsparce.

-It's filled with Pokémon! -Sudowoodo.

Mew. Mew

[giggles]

It's possible that Mew's even here!

Yeah! I'm gonna find Mew!

Mew?

If you hear me…

Come on out!

[gasps]

I guess it won't be as easy as I thought.

They don't call it Mythical for nothing, of course!

-[leaves rustling] -Huh?

Hey, Mew?

Wait up, Mew!

[panting]

[both] Wait up!

-Mew! -Celebi!

[both gasp]

[both scream]

[grunting]

-Who are you? -Who are you?

-Misdreavus. -[both gasp]

Misvus.

-Just a Misdreavus. -Aw, man…

[both] Hmm.

I thought I heard you call out "Celebi!"

And I heard you say "Mew!"

What fool would ever mistake Misdreavus for Celebi, huh?

Come on! You mistook Misdreavus for Mew, didn't you?

Uh, I guess you could say I did.

So, shall we call it even?

Well, I suppose we could call it that.

[both chuckle]

I'm Horace, from Cianwood City.

I'm Goh, from Vermilion City.

Nice to meet you.

Likewise!

So, you're searching for Mew, aren't you?

Yeah. Pretty cool, huh?

Uh, I dunno…

This is Mew we're talking about!

Well, I guess, since you're here looking,

I will, too.

Hold on a sec!

Try not to get too excited.

I've actually seen Mew!

[gasps] You're serious?

Uh-huh! You've heard of Professor Oak, haven't you?

Of course! He's that famous Pokémon Professor!

So when I went to one of the professor's Pokémon camps,

I saw it! Mew!

That's so cool!

Everyone said Mew lives deep in the jungle.

It can appear and disappear at will, which means hardly anybody's ever seen it!

It'd be great to find a Pokémon like that!

Ha!

And here's something else.

Did you know that Mew has the DNA of every Pokémon in existence?

Yep! 'Course!

[gasps]

You really do know a lot about Pokémon, Goh!

Horace, if there's anything you wanna know, you just ask me.

Tell me about Celebi!

[gasps]

Why don't we hear what you know first?

To make sure you've got everything straight.

Let me see… Celebi's known as a forest guardian

and it appears only in the most pristine of forests!

Yup. Right, so far.

But the coolest thing about Celebi? Time travel!

Time travel? How's that?

[Horace] Since Celebi's got the power to travel through time,

they say it came from the future!

And also, if Celebi appears before you, you've got a bright future ahead!

That's really cool!

You know, a bright future is right here in the palm of my hand!

Huh?

I'd rather not have to say that again!

Sorry.

But I like that. Having a bright future

in the palm of your hand sounds like you're full of confidence!

Think so?

[Goh] Actually, it's a lyric from a song my dad used to listen to.

When it comes to self-confidence, I'm second to none!

Even if I don't know how that works!

[laughs]

So, have you ever seen Celebi, Horace?

Uh, the truth is I haven't seen it yet.

That so?

Then I'll just have to help you look!

[gasps]

But I thought you were already looking for Mew. Weren't you?

No problem. Now you've made me want to find Celebi, too!

Really?

Then let's both look for it!

-Mm. -Mm.

[both chuckling]

-[both gasp] -Poli.

[both sigh]

[both grunt]

Natu. Natu.

[both panting]

-[Aipom] Aipom. -[both sigh]

[Horace grunting]

-Larv. -[Horace screams]

[both grunting]

[sighs]

Finding Celebi's not as easy as I figured.

It makes sense that it would be called Mythical.

For sure.

But this is no time to be giving up!

Time for this!

Ta-da!

What's that?

It's a device that collects info on Mew from all over the world!

I thought we could also use it to collect info on Celebi!

Did you make that?

Actually, my mom and dad made it.

Wow! Your mom and dad are amazing!

I know. First this was the size of a desktop computer,

but then they made it portable so I could use it outside!

Whoa.

Wow! There have been Celebi sightings!

Really?

Yeah. It says there's a small, ancient shrine in Ilex Forest, and…

Someone says they saw Celebi there!

Ilex Forest?

Let's check it on the map.

[device beeping]

Got it!

All we have to do is make our way through the caves behind that waterfall!

[Horace] Now what?

What do you think? Let's go!

[Horace chuckle]

[both gasp]

[Goh] This is Ilex Forest?

[Horace] How do we find out where the shrine is?

Only one thing to do!

-And what's that? -We forge ahead!

Now look, out of my way!

Right! I can do that! Here I come!

-[Goh screaming] -[Horace grunts]

Aria. Ari.

Oh no, it's an Ariados!

[both screaming]

[both panting]

[Goh] I think it lost interest. Okay, one more time!

Huh?

You won't beat me!

-[Horace gasps] -Pineco.

[both] Oh, no! This time it's a Pineco!

-Pineco! -[Goh and Horace screaming]

[both panting]

[Horace] There must be a bunch more Pokémon out there, too.

I'm pretty sure you're right.

So, what's next?

I know! Wait right here, Horace!

But where are you going?

[Goh] I'll be back in a flash!

[gasps]

[Goh] "Who's that Pokémon?"

Kima. Kima! Kima!

Pika! Pika!

-[Goh] Hey! -Huh?

Sunflora! What's going on?

I borrowed it from the man who owns the place we're staying at.

With Sunflora's Razor Leaf, we'll cut through that tall grass!

Hey, that makes sense.

What a relief.

Horace, what's wrong?

I was really worried about what I was gonna do if you decided not to come back!

I told you I'd be right back!

But it took so long…

I waited here forever.

Sorry!

From now on, remember I keep my promises!

That's just the way I roll!

I keep my promises, too, you know!

Cool! Now, back to the search!

I'm ready to move, Goh!

Sunflora, use Razor Leaf!

Kima!

That's the spirit! Use Razor Leaf again!

Kima! Kima!

[Goh] Do you see the shrine anywhere?

[Horace] Nothing.

Let's go farther in. Do it, Sunflora!

Kima! Kima!

-A Bellossom! -So cute.

[grunts]

[all panting]

-We never give up! -Yeah!

Kima!

Kima.

I don't see anything.

I don't, either.

Whaddaya say we go farther in?

Kima! Kima!

Kima! Kima!

Kima!

-Whoa. -Whoa.

[Goh] It's beautiful.

[Horace] Yeah.

[gasps]

I just remembered what happens to Sunflora when the sun sets!

It's not able to walk anymore.

Let's call it a day.

I'm exhausted.

[sighs]

[Horace] Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight…

I'll bet the sky here is filled with stars.

Yup. And it's at a moment just like this when you remember

how gigantic space really is.

You've got that right.

Hey, don't some people say that Starmie come from space?

[Horace] Yeah, the rumor is they're transmitting signals back and forth

whenever their core glows like a rainbow.

[Goh] And the moon and Clefairy?

[Horace] Right! Clefairy. They do a dance during the full moon…

[Goh] And use a Moon Stone to evolve!

[Horace] Whoa.

A sh**ting star!

sh**ting stars remind me of Cleffa!

[Horace] Since Cleffa are star-shaped, some people say they came here

by riding on sh**ting stars!

Oh, I just remembered. When I think about space, Rayquaza's the coolest!

[Horace] Yeah, it is cool. But I'm more of a Jirachi guy.

Waking with the light and song of a Millennium Comet

so Jirachi's only supposed to wake up for seven days every thousand years!

-[Horace groaning] -Huh?

Hey, what's wrong?

I guess I'm a little cold.

Okay. Then why don't we head on home?

[Horace] Yeah.

[Goh grunting]

Is Sunflora heavy?

No way!

My family's staying over this way.

We're this way.

How about Ilex Forest again tomorrow?

Really? Sounds awesome!

See you then!

Goh?

Hm?

You promise?

Of course, I do!

We're friends, aren't we?

We sure are friends!

See you tomorrow!

[alarm clock ringing]

See you later!

I wonder if he overslept.

Kima.

[somber music]

[Goh] And here I brought some hot cocoa

and stew with carrots cut in the shape of stars.

[gasps]

He made me a promise though, didn't he?

He told me he was my friend.

Horace, you're a liar!

[gasps]

Look at you! You're soaking wet! What happened?

[Goh] After that, I never saw him again.

He's the reason making friends hasn't been easy…

-Raboot. -Sobble.

You're right! You two are both here for me!

Okay. Time to catch a bunch of Johto Pokémon!

-Raboot. -Sobble.

You can help me, too. Come on out!

-Scyther. -Farfetch'd.

First we've gotta cut through this tall grass!

Now, Scyther, use Slash!

And Farfetch'd, use Cut!

-Scyther! -Far!

That's my Pokémon for you!

All right. Now keep pressing forward with Slash!

Scyther!

Ari.

-[gasps] -[screaming]

[grunting]

All right, Poké Ball, let's go!

[Goh's Rotom] Ariados has been registered to your Pokédex!

Farfetch'd!

[both screaming]

Go!

[Goh's Rotom] Pineco has been registered to your Pokédex!

Why do I have to keep remembering him?

Come on. It's not like we were friends!

[gasps]

Huh?

It's the ancient shrine!

So this is where the Celebi sighting reports came from!

Huh?

"Sorry, Goh. I didn't mean to break the promise I made."

[gasps]

Horace?

[Horace] I understand if you don't believe a word of this,

but I really did try to make my way back to Ilex Forest…

But I got really sick, with a fever.

The next day, I went looking for you.

Goh!

I'm so sorry.

I know I made a promise.

And I even said we were friends!

The next year, I went right out and searched for the shrine again.

And this time, I found it!

[gasps]

Celebi!

If I actually saw Celebi, I was gonna ask it for something.

To send me back through time, back to a year before,

so I could keep the promise I made with you.

But…

Anyway, that's why I'm writing you this letter.

This way I can at least let you know…

that Goh, I still consider you my friend.

Horace…

[Horace] Goh?

Horace?

There's so much to talk about. So much to say!

[chuckles]

[narrator] The exciting, wonderful world of Pokémon!

A group of the most unusual creatures, teeming with mystery!

Living everywhere, and helping form bonds of every kind, as the journey continues.

Celebi!
