12x30 - Promoting Healthy Tangrowth!

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: As our heroes continue their trek to Lilypad Town

and Dawn's next Pokémon Contest, a tasty sample of

Brock's cooking offers the perfect reason to take a break.

DAWN: Mamoswine! Spotlight!

MAMOSWINE: [APPEARING]

ASH: Wow! Is Mamoswine finally going to compete in a contest?

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

DAWN: Yup! But first the trick is to come up with a fancy move

that'll allow Mamoswine to strut its stuff and charm the judges.

PIPLUP: [AGREEMENT]

DAWN: Mamoswine, you ready to go?

MAMOSWINE: [DISMISSIVE]

ASH: Mamoswine's always Mamoswine...

PIKACHU: [SHEEPISH]

DAWN: See, in a contest, we have to win battles,

but we're also judged on how beautiful our moves are!

So let's work hard

and learn the flashiest contest moves that we can.

MAMOSWINE: [CONFIDENT]

DAWN: Okay, but that's not quite what I meant...

MAMOSWINE: [EXERTION]

ASH: Uh... you guys good?

DAWN: Uh... maybe not...

BROCK: Maybe if you tried demonstrating

a beautiful contest move, that would inspire Mamoswine,

you know?

DAWN: Great idea! Hey, Piplup, help us out, okay?

PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

MAMOSWINE: [EXERTION]

DAWN: Mamoswine, turn around and watch us for a second, please?

DAWN: Now, Piplup, use Bubble Beam...

PIPLUP: [BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

MAMOSWINE: [CURIOUS]

Sometimes it's hard to know,

Which way you're supposed to go.

But deep inside, you know you're strong.

If you follow your heart, you can't be wrong.

Stand up! [Stand up!]

For what is right.

Be brave!

Get ready to fight.

Hold on! [Hold on!]

We're friends for life.

And if we come,

together as one,

Complete the quest, that we've begun,

We will win the battle!

Galactic Battles! Pokémon!

DAWN: See?

Don't you think contest moves are pretty, Mamoswine?

PIPLUP: [PROUD]

MAMOSWINE: [DISMISSIVE]

PIPLUP: [OFFENDED]

DAWN: Hey, Mamoswine, why don't you try using a move, too?

And don't worry! Your moves are really pretty,

so you have every reason to be confident, okay?

MAMOSWINE: [UNSURE]

DAWN: Good!

Let's start things off by using Ice Shard towards the sky.

MAMOSWINE: [ICE SHARD MOVE]

DAWN: And now, Mamoswine,

shatter the falling ice with your tusk.

MAMOSWINE: [EXERTION]

ASH: Whoa...

PIKACHU: [IMPRESSED]

DAWN: Wow That was so beautiful!

MAMOSWINE: [CURIOUS]

BROCK: I have to say, that was a really good first attempt!

ASH: Yeah! A keeper for sure!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

DAWN: Now! Let's do it again, Mamoswine, but this time,

try a little twirl before you shatter that ice!

That'll break the ice into smaller pieces

and look prettier!

MAMOSWINE: [DETERMINED]

DAWN: Ice Shard, go!

MAMOSWINE: [ICE SHARD MOVE]

DAWN: All right, now twirl!

MAMOSWINE: [EXERTION] / [PAINED]

DAWN, PIPLUP: [SHOCKED]

DAWN: Mamoswine! You okay?

MAMOSWINE: [COMPLAINING]

PIPLUP: [LAUGHING]

DAWN: It's not funny, Piplup!

PIKACHU: [LAUGHING]

MAMOSWINE: [ANGRY]/[PAINED]

PIPLUP: [LAUGHING]

PIKACHU: [LAUGHING]

MAMOSWINE: [ANGRY]

PIPLUP, PIKACHU: [SCARED]

DAWN: Stop it! That's enough, Mamoswine!

MAMOSWINE: [DISMISSIVE]

DAWN: Wait! Come back, Mamoswine!

ASH: Piplup and Pikachu!

You shouldn't have laughed like that

when Mamoswine was trying to do its best!

PIPLUP: [APOLOGETIC]

PIKACHU: [APOLOGETIC]

DAWN: Mamoswine! Where are you?

DAWN: I think we're a little too big to hide there...

DAWN: I was looking for you!

MAMOSWINE: [DISMISSIVE]

DAWN: Come on, let's go back! I've got a Poffin for you...

MAMOSWINE: [SURPRISED]

MAMOSWINE: [ALERT]

DAWN: Hey, what's wrong?

MAMOSWINE: [SUSPICIOUS]

DAWN: Something there?

MAMOSWINE: [GROWL]

ASH: They're taking forever.

PIPLUP: [WORRIED]

PIKACHU: [WORRIED]

ASH: Brock, I'll go and see if they're all right!

BROCK: Yeah, good idea!

ASH: Okay, let's hit it, you two!

PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [AFFIRMATIVE]

VERONA: Stop right there!

BROCK: Right here? Great!

The problem is, my heart can't be stopped!

And nothing can stop the love that dwells in it!

CROAGUNK: [CROAKING]

BROCK: Except maybe for that...

CROAGUNK: [CROAKING]

VERONA: The name is Verona,

and I'm the local forest ranger in charge!

And no one is allowed to enter into this forest with a Pokémon!

ASH: But why not?

MAMOSWINE: [GROWL]

DAWN: Mamoswine...careful...

TANGROWTH: [GREETING]

DAWN: What's that?

POKEDEX: Tangrowth. The Vine Pokémon.

Tangrowth captures its prey by extending its arms,

which are made of vines.

DAWN: That's a Tangrowth?

TANGROWTH: [ABSORB MOVE]

DAWN: What was that for?

MAMOSWINE: [ICE SHARD MOVE]

TANGROWTH: [EXERTION]

MAMOSWINE: [ANGRY]

DAWN: Come on, Mamoswine,

no fighting! You, too, Tangrowth!

TANGROWTH: [THREATENING]

MAMOSWINE: [ICE SHARD MOVE]

TANGROWTH: [b*llet SEED MOVE]

MAMOSWINE: [TAKE DOWN MOVE]

TANGROWTH: [EXERTION]

DAWN: Looks like we have no choice but to defend ourselves.

Mamoswine, use Ancient Power now!

MAMOSWINE: [ANCIENT POWER MOVE]

TANGROWTH: [POWER WHIP MOVE]

MAMOSWINE: [IMPACT]

DAWN: Oh no! Mamoswine!

MAMOSWINE: [ANGRY]

TANGROWTH: [EXERTION]

DAWN: Mamoswine! Quick, Ice Shard!

MAMOSWINE: [ICE SHARD MOVE]

TANGROWTH: [STRUGGLING] / [IMPACT]

MAMOSWINE: [EXERTION]

TANGROWTH: [ABSORB MOVE]

MAMOSWINE: [SURPRISED]

MAMOSWINE: [DAZED]

DAWN: Mamoswine! What happened?

TANGROWTH: [FRIENDLY]

TANGROWTH: [EXERTION]

DAWN: I think this is a Sitrus Berry! Why leave this?

MAMOSWINE: [SNIFFING]

MAMOSWINE: [CONFIDENT]

ASH: Whaa?

So there's a Tangrowth living in this forest

that'll drain out all my Pokémon's power?

VERONA: It's true!

And apparently, the larger the Pokémon,

the more determined it is!

BROCK: I don't get why.

VERONA: Well,

that's exactly what I'm trying to figure out right now!

ASH: The thing is, we've gotta get into the forest, quick!

BROCK: We've got a good friend

of ours who wandered into the forest with her Mamoswine!

MAMOSWINE: [SNIFFING]

DAWN: Mamoswine? We really should head back!

I'm sure everyone's worried...

MAMOSWINE: [DISMISSIVE]

DAWN: Remember, it's a wild Pokémon!

I'm sure it's out of the forest by now...

MAMOSWINE: [DEFIANT]

DAWN: Stop being such a brat!

I told you, give it up this instant!

MAMOSWINE: [DISMISSIVE]

DAWN: Fine! Then just do what you want!

But as for me, I'm going back!

DAWN: Wait, Mamoswine, don't leave!

JESSIE: I'm tired, and I'm hungry,

which is the worst thing for a budding young actress

like myself to be experiencing.

JAMES: Well, you sure acted like you knew what you were doing

when you told us to come in here looking for food.

MEOWTH: Since you won't win an award for best fiction,

tell us what we're going to do.

JESSIE: Well, if I had my wish,

the king of the forest would magically appear

and treat us all to a feast fit for royalty!

ONIX: [ROAR]

MEOWTH: Fresh out of kings, but you've got an Onix!

ONIX: [ROAR]/ [DAZED]

TANGROWTH: [GREETING]

MEOWTH: What's that?

JAMES: Time for some card research...

Bingo! It's a Tangrowth!

TANGROWTH: [FRIENDLY]

MEOWTH: Wow! My lucky day! A Sitrus Berry!

TANGROWTH: [EXERTION] / [CURIOUS]

MEOWTH: It's snackie time!

JESSIE, JAMES: Maybe not...

MEOWTH: Hey, that's Absorb...

what a power drain...

never had issues with Sitrus Berries before...

ONIX: [WEAK]

ONIX: [ROAR]

TANGROWTH: [FRIENDLY]

JAMES: What's that?

JESSIE: Meowth, I think it left something for you, too...

MEOWTH: Hey, it's an Oran Berry, and it'smine!

JESSIE: Hey, hey! Watch the manicure!

MEOWTH: I'm feeling in the pink.

JAMES: Interesting!

That Tangrowth rendered Onix useless with one shot!

JESSIE: That Tangrowth is no lout! No doubt!

MEOWTH: And that means,

if we catch party boy and give it to the Boss,

we won't be slouches either!

MEOWTH: Picture another day at headquarters...

MEOWTH: The Boss is working hard as usual,

barking out orders with the fury of a thousand wild Primeape!

But there's a problem.

The poor guy can't sleep because he's wired for action!

He's got enough nervous energy to powera small city!

That's when the Tangrowth we're gonna give him

will come in handy like you wouldn't believe!

MEOWTH: "Now I can get finally some rest,

and since it's all because of Meowth and friends,

I've got to make sure they rest in the lap of luxury

from now on! And that will be some lap..."

MEOWTH: Time for a wrap!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Sinnoh rules, and losers drool!

Too cool!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

DAWN: Mamoswine? Where are you? Uh-oh

DAWN: Oh dear. It's kind of hard to hide that caboose!

Mamoswine!

Never guess who's here...

URSARING: [ANGRY]

URSARING: [HYPER BEAM MOVE]

URSARING: [ROAR]

MAMOSWINE: [ANGRY]

URSARING: [FRANTIC]

DAWN: Wow, thanks so much, Mamoswine!

MAMOSWINE: [DISMISSIVE]

DAWN: Hey, wait up!

Mamoswine, are you still looking for that Tangrowth?

MAMOSWINE: [AFFIRMATIVE]

DAWN: I know you really hate to lose, Mamoswine,

and that must've made you really upset as well.

I really hate losing, too, so that means we're alot alike!

MAMOSWINE: [SURPRISED]

DAWN: All right! I'll help you look for Tangrowth, okay?

MAMOSWINE: [AGREEMENT]

ASH: Dawn?

BROCK: Mamoswine!

VERONA: Hello, Dawn?

PIPLUP: [CALLING]

PIKACHU: [CALLING]

BROCK: Now where could they have gotten off to?

ASH: I think we need a little help right about now!

A Grass type'll do the trick!

Now, Grotle! I choose you!

GROTLE: [APPEARING] / [STARTLED]

ASH: Tangrowth!

PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

BROCK: All right, Verona,

is that the Tangrowth you were telling us about?

VERONA: Right!

Careful not to let it drain your Pokémon's power!

ASH: Got it!

GROTLE: [EXERTION]

BROCK: Tangrowth just used Absorb!

ASH: Wait, Grotle! Razor Leaf, go!

GROTLE: [RAZOR LEAF MOVE]

TANGROWTH: [EXERTION]

BROCK: Fast...

ASH: So where is it now?

TANGROWTH: [EXERTION]

ASH: To the left! Energy Ball!

GROTLE: [ENERGY BALL MOVE]

TANGROWTH: [ABSORB MOVE]

GROTLE: [DAZED]

ASH: Grotle, no!

TANGROWTH: [FRIENDLY]

BROCK: A Sitrus Berry!

VERONA: That's right!

The report said, for some reason,

after draining a Pokémon of its power,

Tangrowth always leaves a berry!

TANGROWTH: [EXERTION]

VERONA: Tangrowth! Don't go!

TANGROWTH: [EXERTION]

BROCK: So, Ash, how do you think Grotle is doing?

ASH: Grotle will be fine! Here, Grotle, eat this.

It's good!

GROTLE: [WEAK]

ASH: Of course! You can always use Synthesis! Do it!

GROTLE: [SYNTHESIS MOVE]

GROTLE: [HAPPY]

ASH: Awesome! And feeling better than ever!

VERONA: Wow, I'd really like to know the reason

why that Tangrowth insists on draining so many Pokémon

of their power.

ASH: Hey, Brock,

I'm wondering if maybe Tangrowth's

only trying to heal itself.

BROCK: I doubt it, since if that was the case,

it could just eat a Sitrus Berry.

GROTLE: [SNIFFING] /[EXCITED]

ASH: Hey Grotle, did you pick up on Tangrowth's trail?

GROTLE: [AFFIRMATIVE]

VERONA: Okay! Let's go!

ASH, BROCK: Right!

DAWN: It's gotten really dark, hasn't it?

MAMOSWINE: [AGREEMENT]/[SNIFFING]

DAWN: What's wrong?

MAMOSWINE: [EXERTION]

DAWN: You think Tangrowth's close by?

MAMOSWINE: [AGREEMENT] / [SURPRISED]

SHROOMISH, SEEDOT, CHERRIM, BELLSPROUT: [WARNING]

DAWN: Look at the forest Pokémon!

CHERRIM: [WARNING]

BELLSPROUT: [WARNING]

DAWN: Oh no, Mamoswine,

they're not going to let us through!

MAMOSWINE: [CONFIDENT]

CHERRIM: [MAGICAL LEAF MOVE]

SEEDOT: [b*llet SEED MOVE]

MAMOSWINE: [IMPACT]

SHROOMISH: [ABSORB MOVE]

BELLSPROUT: [ABSORB MOVE]

MAMOSWINE: [DAZED]

DAWN: Hey, that's the move Tangrowth used!

DAWN: Mamoswine!

BELLSPROUT: [FRIENDLY]

DAWN: It's a Sitrus Berry?

MAMOSWINE: [EXERTION]

SHROOMISH, SEEDOT, CHERRIM, BELLSPROUT: [SCARED]

MAMOSWINE: [SURPRISED]

DAWN: Wow, what a gigantic tree!

DAWN, MAMOSWINE: [SURPRISED]

TANGROWTH: [GREETING]

DAWN: Tangrowth!

SHROOMISH, SEEDOT, CHERRIM, BELLSPROUT: [SHY]

DAWN: So these Pokémon are your friends...

MAMOSWINE: [ANGRY]

TANGROWTH: [CALM]

MAMOSWINE: [ANGRY]

DAWN: Mamoswine,

can't you see Tangrowth doesn't want to battle with you?

TANGROWTH: [PROTECTIVE]

SHROOMISH, SEEDOT, CHERRIM, BELLSPROUT: [SCARED]

MAMOSWINE: [ANGRY]

DAWN: Mamoswine, stop it!

TANGROWTH: [CALM]

MAMOSWINE: [CONSIDERING]

DAWN: All right! I'm so glad that's over with...

ASH: Dawn!

DAWN: Ash!

PIPLUP: [HAPPY]

DAWN: Piplup!

VERONA: It's Tangrowth!

DAWN: Who's she?

BROCK: See, her name's Verona, and she's a forest ranger!

ASH: She's been awesome! She helped us find you!

DAWN: Thank you! Sorry for causing any trouble...

VERONA: Don't worry! I'm glad you're all right!

ASH: So what's with the huge tree?

PIKACHU: [AMAZED]

VERONA: This tree actually watches over

and protects the forest!

It's over a thousand years old,

and its roots are spread out deeply for miles and miles!

TANGROWTH: [DETERMINED]

MAMOSWINE: [CURIOUS]

PIPLUP: [SURPRISED]

ASH, BROCK, DAWN, PIPLUP, PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

VERONA: Oh no...

DAWN: The tree's been split into two!

VERONA: It must've been struck by lightning the other day!

This is terrible!

That poor tree won't make it at this rate.

BROCK: What?

But if this tree dies,

won't the entire forest go with it?

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

ASH: Hey! Look at Tangrowth!

DAWN, BROCK, VERONA, PIPLUP: [SURPRISED]

TANGROWTH: [GROWTH MOVE]

BROCK: That's a move. It's Growth!

VERONA: Of course!

It's obvious that the reason Tangrowth was going around

draining all the other Pokémon of their power

was so it could use that power to save this tree!

DAWN: Right! And then it left the Sitrus Berries.

ASH: So all the Pokémon would recover

after their power was drained!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

SHROOMISH, SEEDOT, CHERRIM, BELLSPROUT: [GROWTH MOVE]

DAWN: Wow,

they want to save this tree just like Tangrowth does!

MAMOSWINE: [IMPRESSED]

SHROOMISH, SEEDOT, CHERRIM,

BELLSPROUT, TANGROWTH: [EXHAUSTED]

ASH: Man, they're wiped! That's a lot of work.

DAWN: Isn't there something we could do?

PIPLUP: [CONCERNED]

VERONA: Tangrowth! Please, I'd like to help you!

TANGROWTH: [SURPRISED]

VERONA: You see, I want to save this tree

and protect the forest just like you do!

TANGROWTH: [HAPPY]

VERONA: Tangrowth, thank you!

TANGROWTH: [SHOCKED]

SHROOMISH, SEEDOT, CHERRIM, BELLSPROUT: [SHOCKED]

VERONA: What's that?

JESSIE: Don't you know great when you see it?

JAMES: Of course, to know great, you must be it

MEOWTH: And great you dopes ain't!

ASH: Team Rocket! Should have known it was you...

DAWN: You let those Pokémon go now!

JESSIE, JAMES: Sticky fingers

MEOWTH: Yeah! And we're holding tight to these Pokémon,

because we've got our brand-new

Mega-Serious Suction Vacuum Mark Two!

DAWN: Mamoswine! Take Down!

MAMOSWINE: [TAKE DOWN MOVE]

JESSIE: Ooh! That kind of tickled!

MEOWTH: The skin on this baby's three times as absorbent, dig?

JAMES: That's three times the power

to clean up a mess like you!

ASH: Dawn! We'll help them out, too!

PIKACHU: [DETERMINED]

DAWN: Thanks! But you just leave this to Mamoswine and me!

Mamoswine, use Take Down one more time!

MAMOSWINE: [TAKE DOWN MOVE]

JESSIE: Give it a rest...

JAMES: After all,

our armor is presently ten times thicker than before.

MEOWTH: I'd like to know where you get your stats.

DAWN: Mamoswine, you can do it!

Now focus all of your power on one point!

MAMOSWINE: [FOCUSED]

ASH: Check that!

BROCK: That's Hidden Power!

DAWN: Wow, Mamoswine learned Hidden Power! Now, go get them!

MAMOSWINE: [HIDDEN POWER MOVE]

JESSIE: Silly Twerps...

JAMES: I could've sworn

the armor's a hundred times thicker than before...

MEOWTH: Three times. Dial it down.

TANGROWTH: [EXCITED]

DAWN: Okay... Mamoswine, use Hidden Power again!

MAMOSWINE: [HIDDEN POWER MOVE]

JESSIE: Are we blasting off faster, or is it me?

JAMES: Yes! By a thousand!

MEOWTH: Will you stop cooking the speed record books?

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: We're blasting off again!

ASH: Grotle, we're counting on you...

GROTLE: [CONFIDENT]

TANGROWTH: [ABSORB MOVE]

GROTLE: [WEAK]

ASH: Okay, use Synthesis now!

GROTLE: [SYNTHESIS MOVE]

DAWN: Hey, that's a great idea!

BROCK: Yeah... But still,

Grotle can only use Synthesis so many times.

MAMOSWINE: [DETERMINED]

TANGROWTH: [SURPRISED]

DAWN: Wow, Mamoswine,

so you're offering your power to help out, too...

MAMOSWINE: [AGREEMENT]

TANGROWTH: [ABSORB MOVE]

MAMOSWINE: [WEAK]

TANGROWTH: [FRIENDLY]

MAMOSWINE: [EXCITED]

TANGROWTH: [EXCITED]

DAWN: Looks like those two are good friends now.

PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

VERONA: I found it!

DAWN, PIPLUP: [CURIOUS]

VERONA: Here's the spot on the tree

that contains all of its nutrients!

So quick, everyone, use Growth right here.

TANGROWTH: [GROWTH MOVE]

ASH: Wow...

DAWN: It's growing back to its original shape.

PIKACHU: [AMAZED]

PIPLUP: [AMAZED]

VERONA: The tree should be fine now.

ASH: Thanks to Tangrowth and the others.

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

DAWN: And not only did they save this tree,

they protected the whole forest.

PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

VERONA: So, from now on, Tangrowth,

let's protect the forest together.

TANGROWTH: [PLEASED]

DAWN: Mamoswine?

Let's you and I figure out a way to use that awesome Hidden Power

of yours in our next contest, okay?

MAMOSWINE: [HAPPY]

NARRATOR: Working alongside a resourceful Tangrowth

and a group of dedicated Pokémon,

our heroes have helped an entire forest back to perfect health...

Now it's off to Lilypad Town and Dawn's next Contest!
