BONNIE: Wow!
ASH: Awesome!
ASH: The Poké Ball Factory!
BONNIE: It's huge!
SERENA: It's amazing to think that place is where
they make Poké Balls!
CLEMONT: I've dreamed of seeing it and now it's
Happening! I'm so happy
BONNIE: Try to get a hold of yourself.
JESSIE: We've been waiting for you.
JESSIE: We welcome you to our dream factory!
JESSIE: I'm the plant manager, and I'm in charge
of this facility.
JAMES: As assistant plant manager, I'm second in charge.
MEOWTH: And as secretary, I'm the third wheel!
CLEMONT: You're the plant manager
ASH: You're the assistant
SERENA: Third wheel?!
JESSIE: Oh, you're so smart!
We'd like to reward you with our premium grand tour.
And we'll be your tour guides...
JAMES: Lucky you
ASH: Wow, thanks a lot!
You're just a kid on a quest
To be the best of the best
Someday you're destined for power and glory
You know you're up to the test
There's only one way to tell this story
Be a hero!
Be a hero!
All the power is at your command
Face your fears and show you're a hero
The future of the world is in your hand
Pokémon!
NARRATOR: Our heroes are on their way to Anistar City,
where Ash's next Gym battle awaits, but first, who can
resist the opportunity for a personally guided tour
of the Poké Ball Factory?
ASH: Whoa, what an operation!
PIKACHU!
CLEMONT: Look at that! Everything in this Factory
is fully automated!
MEOWTH: Of course. We use only the latest in cutting-edge
production technology.
CLEMONT: Fascinating! I wish I could see it up close!
JESSIE: All good things come to those who wait! Be patient.
You'll soon see everything up close and personal.
CLEMONT: Are you serious?!
JESSIE: Of course. But first, first things first.
JAMES: We'll need to inspect all of your Poké Balls.
BONNIE: But why do you want them?
DEDENNE?
SERENA: I don't understand.
JESSIE: Here at our Factory, we offer a unique
and practical service.
ASH: Wow
CLEMONT: That's just what I'd expect! I'll get mine. Hold on.
ASH: Yeah. Me too.
SERENA: Might as well, don't you think?
DEDENNE!
MEOWTH: Now please place them in this custom-made
padded Poké Ball case.
CLEMONT: There.
SERENA: Thank you!
ASH: Mine, too.
MEOWTH: Make sure that's all of them
Wouldn't wanna leave one all alone, would we now?
ASH: One thing. You see, my Pikachu really doesn't like
going inside its Poké Ball.
PIKACHU
JESSIE: Of course not. We know that.
JAMES: Fret NOT! No problemp!
Fortunately, we've got just the perfect thing
Kindly place Pikachu right in here.
JESSIE: With a smile
PIKACHU
ASH: Hey, it'll only be for a little while, buddy.
MEOWTH: And if you don't mind,
we'll take Pikachu's Poké Ball as well.
ASH: Oh. Right!
CLEMONT: And now it's time for our personally guided
tour of the Factory!
JESSIE: Not yet
JESSIE: We have all the time in the world.
JAMES: We'd first like you to experience a special booth that
simulates what it's like for a Pokémon to be inside
of a Poké Ball.
CLEMONT: Like the inside of a Poké Ball?!
SERENA: That sounds like fun!
BONNIE: Yeah! Wow! Yay!
SERENA: This's quite a walk, isn't it?
JAMES: We're taking you to a place with unconventional,
cutting-edge science, so, naturally, it's located in
an unconventional location!
CLEMONT: Yeah?! I can hardly wait!
SERENA
JESSIE: Please step inside!
ASH: So this is the place?
CLEMONT: It looks like an ordinary storage room to me
BONNIE: This is what it's like to be inside a Poké Ball?
ASH: What's going on?!
JESSIE: Ha! HA!!
JESSIE: Prepare for trouble, we've done it again!
JAMES: And make it double, you're gullible times ten!
JESSIE: To protect the world from devastation!
JAMES: To unite all people within our nation!
JESSIE: To denounce the evils of truth and love!
JAMES: Fooling you Twerps fits us like a glove!
JESSIE: Jessie!
JAMES: And James.
JESSIE: Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!
JAMES: Surrender now or prepare for a Pokémonless fight!
MEOWTH: Meowth, that's right!
WOBBUFFET!
ASH: Team Rocket, it's you!
JESSIE: And being completely clueless proves
it can only be you!
JAMES: We were busy confiscating all these new factory-fresh
Poké Balls and minding our own business when you had
the nerve to show up.
ASH: You won't get away with this! Pikachu!
PIKACHU?!
MEOWTH: You dopes! Electricity flows in,
but it doesn't flow out
PIKACHU
PIKACHU!
MEOWTH: That case keeps the zaps from zapping, but I didn't
realize the glass is weak against physical att*cks.
JESSIE: So now you tell us!!

JESSIE: Wobbuffet, go!
