09x26 - Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis! Part 1

[bunniefuu]

[instrumental music]

All I have to do is win my next contest

and I'll get my fifth ribbon.

Then it's on to the Grand Festival

and everything will be great.

Boy, I wish it were happening now.

If it were happenin' today after all you just said

I think you'd be too tired to compete.

I can't believe I'm finally going back

to my old stomping grounds, Pewter City.

And right after we go there, it's the Battle Pyramid.

We're gonna raise the roof on that place, aren't we?

[EXCITED]

[gasping]

NARRATOR On their way to Brock's hometown

our heroes prepare to cross a beautiful mountain range

while all sorts of different things are on their minds.

That's awesome.

[AMAZED]

MAX Check out the flock of Swablu and Altaria.

SWABLUS/ALTARIAS [EXERTION]

BROCK 'Wonder where they're going.'

Hey! You guys be careful.

Look, it's a gorgeous Aurora. Wow!

But what's an Aurora doin' here?

[SURPRISED]

[STRUGGLING]

What's wrong, Pikachu?

[WORRIED]

[STRUGGLING]

What's up with them?

Something must've happened.

Whatever just happened is messing 'em all up.

BROCK And if they keep flying around like that

they'll never get anywhere.

- No, We can't let them do that. - Wait.

Maybe Swellow can lead them in the right direction.

Swellow, I choose you! Come on.

What?

ASH 'It's not workin'.'

Mine isn't either.

Same for me.

But why would our Poké ba*ls be on the blink?

Beats me.

- Wait. Hold on! - Huh?

Poké Nav doesn't work either.

Something's making everything short-out.

- Huh? - Who's that?

BROCK 'It's Solana, that gorgeous Pokémon Ranger.'

- Huh? - And Plusle.

Oh, boy! I'm Brock, don't you remember?

- I've missed you so much. - Not now, Brock, please.

Right now we've got to help all those Pokémon.

ASH "Pokémon Ranger-Deoxys' Crisis! Part ."

PIKACHU [HAPPY]

SWABLUS/ALTARIAS [STRUGGLING]

SOLANA 'That one should work.'

Capture on!

Hah!

[grunts]

[SHOCKED]

[yelling]

[PANICKED]

[grunting]

[SURPRISED]/[RELIEVED]

Capture complete.

Altaria, Refresh!

[REFRESH MOVE]

Now, fly back to your other friends and youtake the lead.

[FOCUSED]

Good.

Wow, it's workin'! Look at them go!

That's great!

[HAPPY]

Solana, what are you doing here?

Work, we've been detecting

unusual geomagnetic activity.

"Geomagnetic activity?"

SOLANA It's similar to the magnetic forces given off by the Earth

but it's extremely chaotic.

[static]

Do you think that explains what was wrong with the Altaria?

I do, since Altaria use geomagnetic fields

as they move from place to place

any disturbance could throw them way off.

Also, my Pikachu was acting kind of strange, too.

Electric Pokémon are affected by it as well.

That would also explain the Aurora that appeared in the sky.

And our Poké ba*ls and my Poké Nav weren't working at all.

I see. As a Pokémon Ranger, I'm here to help.

But how come your Capture Styler

seems to be working just fine, anyway?

Pokémon Rangers have to be able to perform their duties

even in the most extreme environments, right?

So we hermetically seal them.

That way we're sure they'll always work.

- No matter what. - Wow!

You Pokémon Rangers get all the coolest stuff.

[CURIOUS]

Pikachu, is something wrong?

[SHOCKED]

[dramatic music]

[INTENT]

[gasping]

It's a Deoxys.

- I wonder.. - Huh?

[FOCUSED]

Uh..

Huh?

[EXERTION]

It's gone.

We've got to hurry.

There's a Pokémon Center very close to here.

Uh?

[birds chirping]

BROCK 'Nurse Joy!'

Words do not express how wonderful it is to see you.

- Uh, how nice. - Okay.

Words do not express

what an amazingly big mouth you have.

So, Nurse Joy, how is your computer system working?

Not good.

'It won't even boot up.'

'It has to be the geomagnetic disturbance.'

You should know, we saw a Deoxys.

Mm, that would explain all of the electrical problems.

Right, Deoxys' appearance here

just might be the cause of all this.

When did it start happening?

Last week, I got a call from Nurse Joy

at the Ranger Union about strange geomagnetic readings.

We hadn't even thought of Deoxys.

Of course, this was all before

everything we have just seen.

- So this is serious. - Mm-hm.

But, what would Deoxys be doin' here?

- 'This isn't the first time.' - Huh?

Once, Deoxys made an appearance in LaRousse City.

According to a report submitted by Professor Lund

who was researching Deoxys at the time.

Deoxys came here on a meteorite.

Ten years ago a meteorite crash landed

somewhere in the mountains.

[gasping]

[dramatic music]

[rumbling]

[gasping]

NURSE JOY 'The resulting expl*si*n'

was said to be deafening.

SOLANA And now that a Deoxys has appeared again

we need to find out where the meteorite actually landed.

Do you have the location?

Yes! I've got the map. Hold on.

- Can I go with you, please? - What are you talking about?

May, I've gotta see Deoxys again.

- But that could be dangerous. - I know, but I have to go.

To tell the truth, I'm not sure why myself.

Oh, Max.

I know, you're feelings are strong

but we need to do a thorough investigation now.

'And that kind of work should be left to the Pokémon Rangers.'

But, please?

Since this kind of work can become extremely dangerous

I'm asking you to wait here.

- Sure. - Of course.

Mm-mm.

Here, this shows you where the meteorite landed.

SOLANA Thanks, Nurse Joy.

We're talking Deoxys here.

Pokémon from prime space.

With an out-of-this-world resale value.

Hold on, this brain of mine's on fire.

It'd be an awesome investment to donate Deoxys to the Boss.

Imagine him wakin' up one mornin'..

[imitating Boss] "Ah, this is the kind of glorious day

"that turns my head to the wild blue yonders of space.

What I wouldn't give to be out there as well."

Then Deoxys shows up and offers him a lift.

"You mean you can really help me make my dream come true?"

"Then tally-h* and away we go."

"This blasting off stuff's amazin'.

"Thank you, dear Deoxys.

"But the biggest thanks goes to Meowth and his friends

"who I'm now gonna make very wealthy."

See? Meowth can think. So, can you?

- With a thumbs up! - And a two-fisted yay!

JAMES/MEOWTH/JESSIE 'Cause it's Deoxys Day.

[EXCITED]

MEOWTH Where she goes, we go.

- Righteo. - Righteo.

[instrumental music]

Huh? Plusle, what is it?

[WORRIED]

You're feeling the geomagnetic waves

aren't you?

SOLANA It all seems to be coming from this cave.

Alright, you come out of there, Max.

Okay, okay.

I know you said stay put.

But, I've just gotta see Deoxys.

Kids with commitment.

ASH 'Hey, there they are.'

Huh?

MAY Max, What're you doing?

Solana told you not to come here.

Yeah? Then what're you guys doing here?

Good question.

I guess we wanted to come too.

Huh? Uh-oh.

If I let you all come along

will you stay out of trouble?

ASH/MAX/BROCK/MAY Right!

Then we'll use this

to measure geomagnetic waves.

Keep an eye on this for me.

- I'd love to! - Huh?

[intense music]

JESSIE So, our intergalactic meal ticket is in there.

That unexpected frosty gust tells me

something hazardous is in there as well.

[FREEZING]

Hey, makin' off with a Deoxys is a once in a lifetime opportunity

and I don't need any scared drama queens!

So tough it up, bub!

MAX Wow, this is so cool!

SOLANA Watch where you're going, Max.

Getting Deoxys may be a once in a lifetime opportunity

but I've only got one life.

Look, if you can't take the heat

then get out of the kitchen

and leave the cookin' to a real chef.

Nice twist on the "Meal ticket" motif.

Since when did you become so brave?

Well somebody's gotta be man of the house.

BROCK Huh?

Brock, what's up?

The geomagnetic disturbance has disappeared

and I've got a normal read.

Wow! Pikachu, how do ya feel?

Plusle looks a lot better too!

[HAPPY]

I'm fairly sure that this condition is only temporary

and the geomagnetic disturbance is intermittent.

For now, we'll just have to keep watching for it.

Hurry up! You're so slow!

Max! If I had half of his energy, I'd burst.

MAX Look, a Miltank.

[SURPRISED]

SOLANA 'Perfect timing.'

Huh, how come?

Just you watch.

Capture on!

[SHOCKED]

[grunting]

[STRUGGLING]

[SHOCKED]

Capture complete, Miltank, please follow me.

But what are you going to do?

I think Miltank just might be able to help us out.

SOLANA 'This has to be the meteorite we're looking for.'

It-it's huge!

I wonder if that means Deoxys is nearby.

- Hey, Deoxys. It's Max! - Huh?

I doubt Deoxys knows your name.

I guess you're right.

- Hey, Solana? - Hmm?

Are you sure it's Deoxys that's causing

all that geomagnetic weirdness?

Max, why do you ask? Don't you think so?

No way, I couldn't tell you why

but I really think somethin' else is goin' on.

- That's strange. - Hmm.

MAX Sorry.

I-I c-can't explain it.

[STRUGGLING]

- Huh. - Huh, what's going on?

I'm picking up a reading again.

Ah, looks like our guest of honor is in the house.

Something's cookin' in there and I'm goin'!

I'm going too, but the other way.

[grunts] We're called a team for a reason!

This is a group effort, be it good times or bad.

That's news to me!

Then I suppose I can adjust to circumstances

with the proper coaxing.

[rumbling]

[gasping]

Deoxys.

[FOCUSED]

[PAINED]

Pikachu, you feel that?

[WORRIED]

PLUSLE [PAINED]

You too?

It's Psycho Boost!

[PSYCHO BOOST MOVE]

[screaming]

[groaning]

Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[EXERTION]

Maybe if I can capture Deoxys, it'll calm down!

Huh?

I've read the Ranger Union data.

Deoxys can change its form to match conditions.

'There are four forms'

'Normal, Defense, Attack and Speed.'

But Deoxys is impossible to capture

except in Normal form.

ASH So we keep watching till it's Normal

and then, wham!

Like now!

Capture on!

[EXERTION]

That must be Speed form the way Deoxys dodged!

[DETERMINED]

It's talking.

Huh, ah.

DEOXYS [DETERMINED]

MAX 'Deoxys is trying to say something.'

Now it's back to Normal form.

Capture on!

[yelling]

[CONFUSED]

[EXERTION]

Now it's changed into Defense form.

[DETERMINED]

Huh?

Wish I knew what it's saying.

[PSYCHIC MOVE]

[gasping]

ASH Pikachu!

[screaming]

[groaning]

Nice touch!

If that's your thing, which it is.

Hey, something's wrong.

- Hm? - Huh?

Deoxys is in some kind of

pain or somethin'.

Really?

[groaning] Is everybody okay?

Think so.

Well, Solana looks fine.

If something like that could put me out

then I wouldn't be a Pokémon Ranger, right?

So strong! And a babe!

[EXERTION]

ASH What's going on?

I don't know what

but there's something really wrong with that Deoxys.

[EXERTION]

[PAINED]

Let's check it out.

- Oh, no. - What? What is it?

- Not good. You were right, Max. - Ah.

SOLANA 'Deoxys is in an excruciating amount of pain.'

'But I can't pinpoint the cause of it.'

[PAINED]

Oh, come on, quick.

We've gotta do something to help Deoxys!

Max, of course we will. That's why I captured Miltank.

- Huh? - Huh?

Quick, Miltank, use Heal Bell, now!

[FOCUSED]

[HEAL TANK MOVE]

DEOXYS [STARTLED]

Wow! I think Heal Bell's working!

SOLANA Miltank, thanks a lot.

BROCK The geomagnetic levels are down.

Okay. Capture on!

Hah!

[yelling]

But why?

[DETERMINED]

Deoxys's still trying to talk.

[PSYCHIC MOVE]

[screaming]

[PANICKED]/[PAINED]

[groaning]

SOLANA Everyone here?

Yeah, just barely.

[PANICKED]/[EXERTION]

What was that about?

JESSIE 'Prepare for trouble, it's all about us!'

JAMES 'And make it double, no muss no fuss.'

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's my name.

Wherever there's peace in the universe..

JAMES Team Rocket..

MEOWTH Will be there..

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH To make everything worse!

[AFFIRMATIVE]

Team Rocket!

And Deoxys' new family.

[screaming]

MEOWTH Yipes.

So say something already.

[SURPRISED]

I know you're feeling bad, but why?

[STRUGGLING]

- Max, no! - Come back here!

'Max, you're gonna get yourself hurt badly!'

Sorry guys, but I just gotta get up there

and try and figure out why Deoxys is in so much pain.

Hey, Twerp. So what do you want?

Do you know what Deoxys is trying to say?

Sorry, but I really don't understand space lingo.

[SAFEGUARD MOVE]

[SHOCKED]

- What's this? - Whoa, it's a Safeguard.

[PANICKED]

- Let go! - Stop this!

Sure I want fame and fortune

but although it's close, it's not everything!

Come on, Deoxys.

Tell us what you're thinking, please?

Yeah, you're a sharp guy.

There's gotta be a way to get inside that shiny head of yours.

[DETERMINED]

[groaning]

What's wrong?

JAMES You're acting strange, even for you.

ASH What's happening up there?

[groans]

- I'm scared. - Huh.

I'm scared.

Whose voice is that?

- Excuse me! Flying? - Without a plane?

I think Deoxys is using Meowth to communicate with us.

I wanna hear everything you have to say, Deoxys!

If you're scared, what are you scared of?

You'll listen to me?

Listen? You bet! My name's Max!

And I wanna know about you.

[instrumental music]

Max, what's going on?

It's cold. Can't believe how cold.

So when you were flying through space

is that how cold it was?

Yes, I was...very cold..

...and scared.

Of course you were.

That's too much for anyone.

Huh.

Yes, so cold.

Max, no!

Cold.

Max, no!

- Meowth, no! - Meowth, no!

So cold..

...so scared...and so alone.

[dramatic music]

NARRATOR Our heroes can only watch helplessly

as Deoxys takes Meowth and Max away.

But will they be able to discover

the meaning behind Deoxys' mysterious actions?

So that the two of them are able to return safely?
