MUNCHLAX [HAPPY]

BONSLY [UPSET]

[gasps]

You can't drink that!

Aw, don't cry!

You can always go to the cafeteria.

There's plenty to eat there!

That's great, thank you!

I'll take Munchlax down there myself!

Thanks, Max!

There's still work to do!

We'd better train before we get to the Battle Pike!

[AGREEMENT]

SQUIRTLE [EXCITED]

Squirtle, what's up? Where are you going?

[laughing]

- It's a Twerp track meet! - Ooh!

JAMES 'With Squirtle bringing up the rear!'

'A double Poké-heist, counting Pikachu too!'

MEOWTH 'Of course, that Twoipette ain't got a clue.'

So! What's the Pokémon pilfer plan du jour?

Dig, we bonk the boy Twerp, taking Pikachu

while at the same time swipe Squirtle!

- Throttle down. - Huh?

Has that tack ever worked before?

No, so what?

We're in the stealing biz to actually steal something!

Which we'll never do at this rate.

What do you suggest?

We split into separate Team Rockets!

If one goes down, the others go on!

That way, we'll end up with more than zilch.

Wow.

But, what happens if all three of us

get our clocks cleaned at once?

Thinking isn't good for you!

That's statistically impossible anyway!

Are we up for something new?

Uh, no fair.

I didn't know I was going to have to think.

Well, if it's giving this yo-yo a headache, then I'm in!

[EXERTION]

[CURIOUS]

Please come back.

Come on, Squirtle, where are you?

Look at that. It looks like a train station! Huh?

Squirtle?

Huh?

Whoa, it sure looks like

it was busy around here once, wow!

Squirtle, where are you?

SQUIRTLE [URGING]

There you are, Squirtle!

[HAPPY]

You two know each other then!

This is your Squirtle?

Yes. Squirtle loves to explore.

I'm sorry if we've caused you any trouble!

Not at all, it's wonderful to have

such a healthy Pokémon, right?

[AGREEMENT]

- What's your name dear? - My name's May!

What a lovely name! My name's Edna, dear!

Nice to meet you!

Uh-oh, dear me.

I should get home before the rain picks up!

Sure! Would you mind telling me what you were doing here today?

Not at all. I'm waiting for the steam train from town.

Steam train?

EDNA This is the last stop on the line.

It comes right through that tunnel

in the mountain over there.

MAY It does? But I thought it was..

He's a passenger on that train.

I'm waiting for him to come back!

Who's he?

- 'Grandma!' - Hmm?

I thought I'd find you here again, Grandma!

Hello, Katrina! Dear, this is May.

Why, I only met her a moment ago!

- Nice to meet you! - Uh, hello, May!

May, tell me, did Grandma cause any trouble?

- No! - That's good!

Time to go, Grandma! You might catch a cold out here!

Yes. Too late for the train today.

Oh, Grandma.

It was raining just like this on that day, so long ago.

EDNA If only it had been snowing instead.

Poor Grandma.

- Huh? - Huh?

MAY 'It looks like your grandmother forgot something!'

Alright, Pikachu! You're getting stronger all the time!

[PROUD]

Ah, perfect! The Twerp, Pikachu and me!

This is my kind of one-on-one battle!

Volt Tackle, one more time!

[AFFIRMATIVE]/[VOLT TACKLE ATTACK]

[screams]

Not the face, please!

[PROUD]

That was the best one yet!

[EXCITED]

Really? For who?

Now, if I stay calm, and take a deep breath..

JAMES But all that yummy food!

James, steady, breathe in.

Ah-ah!

[sneezes]

Tell me, Katrina, who's in the picture?

KATRINA That's Grandma, Edna. And the guy..

That's my Grandpa, Jonathan. But I've never met him.

So, is that who your grandmother

was waiting for at the old station today?

- Mm-hmm. - Oh my!

What a beautiful pendant she's wearing.

KATRINA She told me she lost it.

She said that pendant

was really, really important to her.

What a shame.

It all started long before I was born.

KATRINA When Grandma and Grandpa were younger

they were living in town.

Grandpa Jonathan had a job raising Pokémon

and Grandma Edna was his assistant.

But one day, Grandpa made a decision

- What? You're leaving town? - Mm-hmm.

I've wanted to move to the city and now's the time!

But, this is all so sudden!

JONATHAN 'No, I've been thinking about it for a while now.'

What?

Raising Pokémon eggs isn't enough.

I want to study medicine and become a real doctor

so I can help Pokémon all their lives!

JONATHAN I need to be in the city for that.

I see. But I don't want to leave this town.

Come on, it wont be for that long.

As soon as I get my degree, we'll come back!

I cant. Don't you see?

I was born and raised in this little town.

I can't live in the city!

Please try and understand! I need you with me!

KATRINA Poor Grandma loved this town so much

she just couldn't bear the thought of leaving it.

KATRINA And of course, Grandpa left.

Went to the city by himself.

It was raining that day, just like now.

KATRINA Grandpa left a letter for Grandma

saying how much he loved her but that he had to go.

And when she read it..

She took off after him!

[panting]

[whistle blowing]

CONDUCTOR All aboard, the metro-bound steam liner

is ready for departure!

[panting]

[groans]

Are you alright?

[panting]

KATRINA A year later, she got a letter saying that

Grandpa had passed away in an accident.

That's terrible!

But my Grandma didn't believe a single word of that letter.

She still doesn't believe it!

So, she comes back to this station day after day

waiting for Grandpa to return.

Then one day, Grandma told me this..

KATRINA 'I never should have let him go off without me like I did.'

You see, your mother was a little baby

inside my tummy at that time.

The thing is, Grandpa left without knowing that.

I honestly didn't know whether to tell him or not.

If only it had been snowing that day instead of rain.

Then the train might have been late

and I might've caught up to him in time.

MAY That's the saddest thing I've ever heard.

KATRINA Yeah.

SQUIRTLE [SAD]

SQUIRTLE [CONCERNED]

Hi, Squirtle. Don't worry, I'm okay.

May, see that fir tree?

Hmm?

KATRINA It used to be covered with needles

and in the summer, the Volbeat and Illumise

were so thick you wouldn't believe it!

'And when they did their courtship dance'

'the glow would be so beautiful that the townspeople'

'loved to come out and watch!'

'They liked to call it their 'lights of joy.''

But then, the tree withered and the Volbeat stopped coming.

'And that's when Grandma really started to feel sad.'

Man, oh, man, if that story

don't break your heart, then nothing will!

That's awful, how does she survive

with something like that?

- May! Your egg lit up! - Huh?

It's time to hatch! Can I help you with it?

Oh, yes, thank you!

Of course, it would be nice

if we had a real nursery here at the Center.

- A real nursery? - 'Uh-oh!'

Hey, May! Squirtle has disappeared!

Oh, no! Not again!

Squirtle?

MAY 'Huh?'

Meowth! What are you doing here?

Just checking out the moon, Twerpette.

Moon?

'And thinking about what that old lady'

'has gone through's bumming me out.

Aha, so you were eavesdropping, were you?

Don't get your bandana in a bundle.

So, have you seen my Squirtle around here?

SQUIRTLE [HAPPY]

[EXCITED]

There you are!

[chuckles]

Now, what are you doing?

[URGING]

Is it..

It is! Edna's pendant!

What?

She must've dropped it

when she was running after Jonathan!

Probably.

[gasps]

- I'm scared! - Me too!

SQUIRTLE [PANICKED]

[screaming]

[gasps]

- What, what happened? - Beats me!

[CONFUSED]

[train whistle blowing]

[EXERTION]

Don't you know it's dangerous to play on the tracks?

Get out of there at once!

MAY/MEOWTH Yes sir!

Huh?

Hey, I don't remember all of these people

hanging around here.

[AGREEMENT]

MAY Look at that fir tree!

I don't know how

but I think we've traveled back in time!

Traveled back in time?

I think you've been watching too many cartoonies, Twerpette!

But everything looks so completely different.

Ah!

Oh no! That man's Jonathan!

MEOWTH Say what?

- So, you're going? - Yeah.

And Edna?

She doesn't want to leave her hometown.

Yeah, I know how she feels.

Right, what can I do?

See? Its true!

Somehow we've slipped back in time and into the past!

Oh, that's great, so, how're we supposed to slip ourselves

back to the future?

Stop thinking about yourself!

We've got to help Jonathan!

Yeah, right, I hear ya!

But you cant blame a Pokémon

for getting a little homesick.

Huh?

Hey, don't walk away

when I'm getting sensitive, you dig?

Okay, Twerp! What do we do?

We have to tell Jonathan that he's going to be a dad!

Yeah, then, he wont take that train

and he and Grandma can live happily ever after!

- Tickets please. - Huh?

Uh, we're just here to see someone off.

You two?

I guess you couldn't wait

to play in the station again, could you?

Oh, no, sir! That's not true!

If something bad happens on my watch, then its my job!

I've got no time for messing around

with brats like you, so do me a favor

and go bother someone else!

If you want to play games, go to the park!

- But, sir! - Aw, nuts!

How're we gonna tell Jonathan

to slow down if we can't get to the guy?

- Huh? - Huh?

It's raining! Just like Granny Edna said!

What do we do?

MAY 'She said, if only it was snowing..'

- I've got it, Meowth! - Yeah?

What have I done?

MEOWTH Have you popped your Twerp cork?

What's flying in a balloon going to do?

If I'm right, exactly what needs to be done!

Nothing worse then a double talking Twerp.

[panting]

[panting]

It's not as cute as a Meowth balloon, but it'll do!

A little higher and we'll be within sh**ting range!

Okay! Squirtle, are you ready?

[AFFIRMATIVE]

sh**t your Ice Beam now, right at those clouds!

[ICE BEAM ATTACK]

Maybe, we can change that rain into snow!

[whistle blowing]

[ICE BEAM ATTACK]

Come on, let's go! Mother Nature won't mind!

We did it! Its snowing!

The train! Do you see Jonathans train?

MEOWTH 'There she blows! Hot and steamy!'

I didn't hear anything about a snowstorm today, did you?

When is the weatherman ever right?

CONDUCTOR 'Attention passengers! We have an important announcement!'

'Due to the weather, there will be a brief departure delay'

'while we attach the snowplow!'

'We regret any inconvenience'

'and thank you for your patience!'

- Huh? - Jonathan!

Edna! So, have you decided to come with me after all?

No, not quite, it's just..

The truth is we're going to have a baby!

Huh?

Yes! Edna was able to tell him the truth!

Who would have thought telling the truth could be a good thing!

[URGING]

VOLBEAT/ILLUMISE [HAPPY]

Groovy, those Volbeat are doing

their courtship dance for those Illumise!

That must be the Lights of Joy!

[HAPPY]

- Oh. - Oh.

Wow, Edna's dreams must've caused the time warp

that sent us.

Yeah, I'll buy that!

- Huh - Again?

[screaming]

[groaning]

Where's the pendant?

[train whistle blowing]

[screams]

Now, don't you worry, dear!

My husband has been raising Pokémon in this town for ages!

Just leave it all up to him!

Sure! But, don't you remember me at all?

- No, I don't think so. - Guess it was a mistake!

Here we go !

[EXCITED]

Wow! An Eevee!

Hmm.

A beauty!

Oh, doctor, thank you! Hi, Eevee! Welcome!

- Huh? - Huh?

Listen, our life's purpose

Yay!

Hmm.

- Hmm? - Hmm?

Do I have bad breath?

and you're not going to blow it.

- Huh? - Huh?

- Huh? - Huh?

- Meowth's not going soft on us. - No.

EDNA 'I'm sure you'll do wonderfully'

raising that adorable Eevee of yours!

Thank you, Ma'am!

SQUIRTLE [EXCITED]

Now, Squirtle, don't you go running off

on your own again!

[gasping]

[laughing]

VOLBEAT/ILLUMISE [HAPPY]

That's awesome!

The Volbeat are doing

their courtship dance inside that Fir tree!

What a sight!

for as long as I can recall!

Really? There's something familiar about that.
