ASH "Sitting Psyduck!"

NARRATOR Continuing their journey toward

Ash's next battle frontier site

our heroes decide to take a side trip to Saffron City

home to May's next Pokémon contest.

PSYDUCK [EXERTION]

Huh?

[EXERTION]

[CONFUSED]

[SHOCKED]

[CONFUSED]

[PAINED]

Huh?

[FRANTIC]

PIKACHU/PHANPY [CONCERNED]

What Pokémon is that?

'A Psyduck.'

'Not a very happy one.'

'I wonder why?'

PIKACHU/PHANPY [CONFUSED]

PIKACHU/PHANPY [STARTLED]

MACHOP/MACHAMP/MACHOKE [DETERMINED]

MAY/ASH/BROCK Whoa.

MACHAMP/MACHOKE [PROUD]

Whoa, all three stages of Superpower Pokémon!

[TERRIFIED]

MACHOP/MACHAMP/MACHOKE [DETERMINED]

PSYDUCK [FRANTIC]

Why do you think they're chasing

that poor Psyduck like that?

I don't know but we should find out.

Yeah, let's go help.

MAY/BROCK/MAX Okay.

PIKACHU/PHANPY [DETERMINED]

[SCARED]

MACHOP/MACHAMP/MACHOKE [CONFIDENT]

'Stop!'

Three against one's not a fair fight!

PHANPY/PIKACHU [DETERMINED]

[DETERMINED]

[SCARED]

Hey, Machoke, leave it alone!

Can't you tell it's not liking that?

[STRUGGLING]

That's it. Go, Phanpy!

[DETERMINED]

MACHOP/MACHAMP/MACHOKE [SURPRISED]

[KARATE CHOP MOVE]

[PAINED]

[gasps]

That Machop just used Karate Chop!

A powerful one too.

[PROUD]

Don't give up, Phanpy.

Use Rollout Attack!

[DETERMINED]

[ROLLOUT MOVE]

[PAINED]

[ANGRY]

Defense Curl!

[DEFENSE CURL MOVE]

[PAINED]

Good, now, another Rollout Attack!

[FOCUSED]

[ROLLOUT MOVE]

[PAINED]

MAY/MAX Alright!

Good thing Ash remembered you get twice the damage

when you use Rollout right after Defense Curl.

[ANGRY]

[SHOCKED]

[WORRIED]

They've got Phanpy surrounded!

It doesn't have a chance now.

MACHAMP/MACHOKE/MACHOP [DETERMINED]

Pikachu, give 'em a Thunderbolt.

[FOCUSED]

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

MACHAMP/MACHOKE/MACHOP [PAINED]

MACHAMP/MACHOKE/MACHOP [FRANTIC]

[RELIEVED]

[CALM]

[CONCERNED]

[CONFUSED]

Psyduck, are you alright?

It looks a little dazed and confused, that's all.

Well, how do you feel about coming with us for a while?

We'll make sure that you get to a safe place.

[SURPRISED]

PSYDUCK/PHANPY [AFFECTIONATE]

PSYDUCK/PHANPY [PLAYFUL]

Looks like you've made a new friend already, huh, Phanpy?

PSYDUCK/PHANPY [PLAYFUL]

PSYDUCK/PHANPY [HAPPY]

BROCK 'I'll bet you're hungry, right?'

[SURPRISED]

This is made especially for Water Pokémon.

[EXCITED]

[RAVENOUS]

[CONTENT]

It looks like Psyduck was pretty hungry.

I guess being chased by Superpower Pokémon

will do that to ya.

Let's see what Dexter has to say about you.

Psyduck, the Duck Pokémon.

Psyduck suffers frequent headaches

and can exhibit mysterious attacks

when they become especially intense.

Since it's wearing that red scarf

you know what that probably means.

It's gotta have a Trainer somewhere.

Which solves the problem of what to do with it.

Yeah.

I bet you can't wait to get back to your Trainer, huh?

[SURPRISED]

[UNINTERESTED]

EMILY 'I'm confused.'

I see you, but not my precious little Psyduck.

MACHAMP/MACHOKE/MACHOP [EMBARRASSED]

EMILY I thought I told you not to return here without it.

'A trio of Superpower Pokémon'

'unable to follow even the simplest of orders.'

Now, when I open my eyes again

you better be gone and looking for my Psyduck!

MACHAMP/MACHOKE/MACHOP [DETERMINED]

MACHAMP/MACHOKE/MACHOP [EXERTION]

[sighs]

It's true what they say.

It's so hard to find good help.

What's a poor rich girl to do?

PIKACHU/PSYDUCK/PHANPY [CONTENT]

PIKACHU/PSYDUCK/PHANPY [PLAYFUL]

JESSIE 'Do you ever wonder if it's all worth it?'

I mean, we call ourselves the new improved Team Rocket

but we still have nothing to show for it.

You don't enjoy hanging from a tree like a Metapod?

We just need one easy victory to get our confidence back

and grabbing that Psyduck for the Boss is just the ticket.

- 'The Psyduck?' - 'No, Pikachu?'

Yeah, that's right.

Just to get us goin' again.

Picture the Boss in his undershirt

doing chores around the house.

JAMES Do I have to picture that?

MEOWTH When his mind wanders and he misses the nail!

[groaning]

[crying]

MEOWTH But just then, the Psyduck we gave him appears.

And the Boss realizes as he looks

at Psyduck's empty expression how lucky he is

to have a brain and his pain vanishes.

JAMES That doesn't even make sense!

MEOWTH Eh, alright then.

Imagine the Boss at work

and he stubs his toe on the corner of his desk.

JAMES Why isn't he wearing shoes at work?

MEOWTH IMITATES BOSS "Yow! That hurts."

MEOWTH It's casual Friday!

But just then, Psyduck comes in

and when the Boss sees the blank stare on that face

he's so happy to have normal toes

instead of webbed ones

all his pain just disappears.

- I still don't get it. - Okay, then.

Imagine the Boss eating a strawberry sundae

when suddenly he gets an ice cream headache.

JESSIE Yeah, I hate when that happens, that's bad.

MEOWTH IMITATES BOSS "Why do I eat so fast, huh?"

MEOWTH But just then, Psyduck waddles in.

MEOWTH IMITATES BOSS "Huh?"

MEOWTH One look at that goofy face

and the Boss' brain goes

just as calm and empty as Psyduck's

and in a second, the ice cream headache

has melted away.

Then the Boss remembers that it was us

who gave him this wonderful, healing Psyduck.

MEOWTH IMITATES BOSS "I must be sure to reward Meowth and friends"

"for giving me this wonderful empty-headed Pokémon."

JAMES I get it now.

TEAM ROCKET A big promotion and a corner office!

Here we come!

[AFFIRMATIVE]

[HAPPY]

PSYDUCK/PIKACHU [PLAYFUL]

PSYDUCK/PIKACHU/PHANPY [HAPPY]

These three sure have become fast friends, huh?

Sure have.

But I'm sure Psyduck misses its Trainer.

[STARTLED]

[UNINTERESTED]

JESSIE 'You folks are in luck.'

[gasps]

JAMES Ha-ha!

Look, you're just in time for our grand opening!

So, step right up.

The finest grass-sledding slopes you've ever sledded upon.

- Grass sledding? - I've never even heard of that.

'Cause it's new.

And just look at our perfect slope.

JESSIE 'That's right, have you ever seen a better black-diamond'

grass-sledding slope in your life?

JAMES Imagine the wind in your hair as you fly downhill.

Yeah.

Doesn't that seem a little dangerous, you guys?

Nonsense, it's a piece of cake.

In fact, Jamal here will show you how.

I could be badly hurt.

I'm aware of that

but it's a chance I'm willing to take.

Just climb aboard your sled and hang on tight.

Keep all arms and legs inside the vehicle and go!

[whimpering]

[screaming]

Do some turns!

Show 'em how fun it is.

It's so fun, I'm losing it!

There, you see?

That sounded more like panic to me.

- Huh? - Hmm?

'Psyduck's ready to give it a try.'

Come on, we've done more dangerous stuff

than this before.

Yeah, I'm in.

Excellent, then grab a sled.

Wow! Uh-ha.

Awesome.

You havin' a good time, Pikachu?

[HAPPY]

Yeah! I hope you're watching where we're going, Brock!

- But you're the one driving! - Wow.

I was all wrong, this is a blast!

PSYDUCK/PHANPY [EXCITED]

[all laughing]

BROCK 'Yeah!'

Looks like they went for the bait.

Yup, just as I said they would.

Now, to make it interesting.

[gasps]

'Whoa!'

[grunting]

[screaming]

[groaning]

[screaming]

[groaning]

PSYDUCK/PHANPY [PANICKED]

[screaming and groaning]

Wow, you're really good at this game, aren't you, Jessie?

What better way is there to settle a score than with a goal.

[all screaming]

[grunting]

PSYDUCK/PHANPY [WORRIED]

Okay, go net 'em, Meowth.

Gotcha!

PSYDUCK/PHANPY [PANICKED]

Aah. Psyduck is outta luck.

And I also caught me, a Phanpy.

[Meowth laughing]

I want my money back.

[laughing]

Prepare for trouble on the slope.

And make it double, there is no hope!

JESSIE 'An evil as old as the galaxy.'

Sent here to fulfil our destiny.

Meowth, that's me!

To denounce the evils of truth and love.

To extend our reach to the stars above.

Jessie!

And James.

And Meowth.

Anywhere there's peace in the universe..

- Team Rocket.. - Will be there.

TEAM ROCKET To make everything worse.

[AFFIRMATIVE]

[HAPPY]

Team Rocket!

[ANGRY]

PSYDUCK/PHANPY [STRUGGLING]

JESSIE Thanks for your donation of Phanpy and Psyduck.

JAMES And if you want them back..

MEOWTH Ha-ha. Good luck!

Stop!

We're never gonna be able to catch up with them.

MACHAMP/MACHOKE [DETERMINED]

[gasps]

MACHAMP/MACHOKE [DETERMINED]

- Hey, let go! - Huh?

JESSIE 'We're the ones doing the stealing around here.'

MEOWTH If you jokers wanted a ride

then you should have bought a ticket!

It's that same Machoke and Machamp again.

I guess they're still after Psyduck.

MACHAMP/MACHOKE [FOCUSED]

Hey, what's the big idea?

You ruined our getaway.

Take 'em out, Seviper!

Yeah, you too, Cacnea!

SEVIPER/CACNEA [APPEARING]

[AFFECTIONATE]

Why don't you go choke the Machoke!

Now's our chance to get Psyduck.

- Look at the Machop. - Huh?

JESSIE 'James, quit messing around and attack.'

I wonder if they're trying to help Psyduck?

It does kind of look that way.

[CARING]

TEAM ROCKET Hey!

That's pretty bold.

MACHAMP/MACHOKE [DETERMINED]

TEAM ROCKET Huh?

MACHOKE/MACHAMP [CROSS CHOP MOVE]

[screaming]

[groaning]

[expl*si*n]

What's new and improved about this?

Well, what's new is that the Twerps didn't ruin our plan.

And what's improved is how far we're flying!

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

PHANPY [PROTECTIVE]

[CONFUSED]

MACHAMP/MACHOKE/MACHOP [DETERMINED]

Knock it off!

Why do you keep bothering that Psyduck?

Don't even think about trying to hurt it

or you'll answer to all of us!

MACHAMP/MACHOKE [AGGRESSIVE]

EMILY 'There you are.'

BROCK/ASH/MAY/MAX Huh?

[SURPRISED]

[UNINTERESTED]

[laughing] My precious little Psyduck, where have you been?

- I was ever so worried! - Whoa.

I guess she must be Psyduck's Trainer?

EMILY 'I'm Emily and I can't thank you enough'

'for finding my treasured little Psyduck.'

This is the third time it's run away.

The silly thing gets so lost

I have to send my Superpower Pokémon after it.

Yeah, we've met them.

But why does your Psyduck keep running away?

Oh, dear, I was afraid you'd ask.

[sighs] I have no idea.

I've given you everything.

[SAD]

Well..

PIKACHU/PHANPY [CURIOUS]

MAX/MAY/ASH/BROCK Uh..

EMILY 'Here we are.'

Welcome to my humble home.

Please, make yourselves comfortable.

So, I see my adorable Psyduck got all dirty.

I'll just bet you can't wait to get in the bathtub.

[SHOCKED]

[FRANTIC]

My Psyduck just loves to be pampered.

[ANNOYED]

We even take our baths together.

'And we both love to smell nice and pretty.'

'After that, it's time to eat.'

Psyduck and I enjoy only the very best cuisine

prepared by the house's own five-star gourmet chef.

Right, Psyduck?

[SAD]

You're not hungry again?

My sweet little Psyduck

has completely lost its appetite lately.

What? Not from what we've seen.

That's right, it was chowing down

like a Munchlax just a few hours ago.

[CONTENT]

[gasps] Then why won't you eat with me?

[SAD]

There's definitely something different about it

ever since we came back here.

'I wonder what could be the matter?'

Hmm..

Go, Phanpy. Rollout!

[ROLLOUT MOVE]

Go, Squirtle, use Water g*n.

[WATER g*n MOVE]

[DESIROUS]

'Dodge that, Phanpy!'

EMILY 'What in the world are they doing out there?'

- Battling, wanna try it? - Certainly not.

I'd never let my precious little Psyduck

engage in any fighting such as that.

But Pokémon battling isn't the same as fighting.

BROCK Right, it's really a way of communicating with them.

What do you mean by that?

I'll explain.

When Pokémon and their Trainers battle together

they learn a sense of unity.

But Psyduck and I have unity.

In a way, but I think there may be something missing.

'I think Psyduck may feel its life'

'is a little empty and lonely.'

It's lonely?

But I give it every luxury it could possibly desire!

[SAD]

PHANPY/SQUIRTLE [ROLLOUT MOVE]/[WATER g*n MOVE]

[ROLLOUT MOVE]

[SCARED]

[EXCITED]

PHANPY/PSYDUCK [STRUGGLING]

[screaming]

[grunting]

Huh?

Gee.

Thanks, Psyduck, I needed that.

Aah.

[laughing]

So that's how you wanna play, huh?

[laughing]

[PLAYFUL]

[SURPRISED]/[PLAYFUL]

[WATER g*n MOVE]

[laughing]

Cut it out, you guys!

[PLAYFUL]

It's been so long since I've seen Psyduck this happy

that I'd forgotten what it was like.

You know, I think that Pokémon

are usually a lot happier playing around outside

'than they are living a life of luxury indoors.'

[laughing]

Huh?

[gasps]

Oh, what is that smell?

JESSIE Prepare for trouble.

You have a nose for crime.

Let's cut it short.

That's right!

PSYDUCK [PANICKED]

- Ah! - My Psyduck!

[STRUGGLING]

JESSIE It's our Psyduck now

and we're using it to get stinking rich.

Grovyle!

Go! Help, Psyduck!

Hit 'em with your Leaf Blade!

[LEAF BLADE MOVE]

[gasps]

[PANICKED]

Don't worry, Psyduck.

I'm going to catch you! Uh.

PSYDUCK [PAINED]

Now, Grovyle, use b*llet Seed!

[b*llet SEED MOVE]

[screaming]

JESSIE 'Ow!'

- 'Just hold hands, Meowth.' - 'Let go off my hair.'

You'll pay for that, Twerp.

'Cause it hurt!

Now we'll just have to steal it the hard way.

SEVIPER/CACNEA [DETERMINED]

Let's see ya try!

PHANPY/GROVYLE [DETERMINED]

Huh?

Alright, Phanpy.

Smash 'em with Rollout Attack.

[ROLLOUT MOVE]

[PAINED]

[sighs]

Are you going to be okay, Psyduck?

[SURPRISED]/[AMUSED]

Psyduck, look at you!

You're smiling and laughing for a change!

Do you like getting dirty like that?

[AGREEMENT]

[gasps]

[ANGRY]

[DETERMINED]

What? Are you mad at that Pokémon?

Emily, your Psyduck is telling you

it wants to battle.

Huh? To battle?

No, I won't permit it!

[ANNOYED]

Cacnea, use Sandstorm!

[SANDSTORM MOVE]

[groaning]

What attacks can Psyduck use?

I remember something about

Focus Punch, Fury Swipes, Hydro Pump and maybe Confusion.

Okay, let's try Focus Punch!

Mm-hmm, okay.

Go ahead, Psyduck, Focus Punch Attack now!

[FOCUS PUNCH MOVE]

CACNEA/SEVIPER [PAINED]

Uh. I have no idea what to do next.

Fury Swipes is a good follow-up.

Okay, Psyduck!

Let's try a Fury Swipes then!

[FURY SWIPES MOVE]

[PAINED]

Alright! Psyduck's great.

Good job, Emily! Keep it up!

[CHEERING]

I'll show you what Fury Swipes are all about.

PSYDUCK/MEOWTH [FURY SWIPES MOVE]

Now what?

It's okay to just come up with something on your own.

Oh, of course.

That's enough Fury Swipes.

Psyduck, use Hydro Pump Attack!

[HYDRO PUMP MOVE]

[screaming]

[gasps]

Attack Psyduck with Poison Tail, Seviper.

[POISON TAIL MOVE]

- Tell it to dodge! - Dodge that, Psyduck!

[EXERTION]

Yes!

You're really good, Psyduck.

And now finish 'em with Confusion!

[CONFUSION MOVE]

[SHOCKED]

[CONFUSION MOVE]

[screaming]

[groaning]

Now, blast 'em with Thunderbolt, Pikachu.

[DETERMINED]

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[screaming]

We're blasting off twice in one day?

Well, you wanted something new and improved.

Maybe we should improve our plans

now that would be something new!

[AFFIRMATIVE]

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

WOBBUFFET [AFFIRMATIVE]

[EXCITED]

Way to go, Psyduck.

We shared our first battle together

and you were really, really good.

[EXCITED]

Now, you and Psyduck know what it's like to be

in sync with each other.

And that's the best way there is

to really understand your Pokémon.

And have fun.

PIKACHU/PHANPY [HAPPY]

So, what did you think?

Looked to me like you were enjoying your first battle.

At first, I was scared but then I began to understand

what you were talking about!

[EXCITED]/[HUNGRY]

[gasps] Are you just a little bit hungry or a whole lot?

[FAMISHED]

[laughing]

Well, can you blame it?

That battle was enough to work up anyone's appetite.

So, let's all eat.

[laughing]

[AMUSED]

EMILY You guys, it's been so great

meeting you and hearing all your travel stories.

It's made me realize that I'd really like to go

on a journey of my own someday.

That's a great idea, Emily.

You'll be so glad you did.

And maybe we'll run into you out there.

It was nice meeting you.

MAY/ASH/BROCK/MAX Goodbye now.

MAY/MAX Bye.

Bye, everyone.

PSYDUCK/MACHOKE/MACHAMP/MACHOP [FRIENDLY]

NARRATOR Once again, our heroes see the value

of strengthening the ties

that bind Trainer and Pokémon together.

And having made another new friend

they pick up where they left off

on their journey toward Saffron City.
