CLEMONT: Move it, everyone! Let's really step on the gas!
BONNIE: He sure is acting weird...
ASH: Yeah, normally he'd complain.
SERENA: I guess he's really excited!
CLEMONT: We're going to an Electric-type celebration!
It's Zapdos Festival!
CLEMONT: As an Electric-type Pokémon Trainer,
I've always wanted to witness this great event!
CLEMONT: You see, long ago a tree in the center of Joule Town
was split by a bolt of lightning sent by Zapdos.
CLEMONT: But amazingly, the tree got larger and stronger
and became thick with berries. The townspeople were overjoyed,
and that's when they created the Zapdos Festival!
They did it with the hope that Zapdos would appear again
and bring the town good luck, and that's the story.
BONNIE: Uh what's a Zapdos?
CLEMONT: It's a powerful Pokémon who can control lightning.
MOLTRES: [FLAMETHROWER MOVE]
CLEMONT: There's Moltres,the Flame Pokemon we saw with Trevor
ARTICUNO: [BLIZZARD MOVE]
CLEMONT: And Articuno, the Freeze Pokémon.
ZAPDOS: [EXERTION]
CLEMONT: And finally, there's Zapdos.
CLEMONT: Together, they form a trio of Legendary Pokémon!
BONNIE: Wow... Three Legendary Pokémon.
I'd just love to see them!
DEDENNE: [AFFIRMATIVE]
ZAPDOS: [ROAR]
CLEMONT: Zapdos?
BONNIE: Wowee
SERENA: I've never seen it before!
CLEMONT: That means Zapdos really has come back!
SERENA: I got to see Zapdos!!
ASH: Isn't it cool?!
CLEMONT: Hey! We can't just stand here!
We've got to get moving!
ASH: Hold on! What's the rush?
CLEMONT: If we don't make it town by the time Zapdos arrives,
I'm afraid we're going to miss the festival's main event!
ASH: Hey Clemont, are you all right?
CLEMONT: I'm okay, but that was close!
ZAPDOS: [ROAR]
BONNIE: It sounds like Zapdos is angry...
CLEMONT: Yeah. I wonder what's wrong.
SERENA: It's too dangerous to try to get to town now.
SERENA: We need to find shelter somewhere.
I think I found a cave!
ASH: Great! I think we should go quickly!
I stand tall 'Cause I know I'm a winner
Knock me down I'll just get up again
You've met your match Yeah, I'm no beginner

NARRATOR: While traveling to the Zapdos Festival,
our heroes have actually encountered Zapdos.
For their safety, they're now forced to seek shelter
in a nearby cave.
BONNIE: That was scary!
SERENA: I think we should be safe here for the time being.
CLEMONT: I still hope we can make it into Joule Town before
the festival begins...
STAN: You said Joule Town? Tell me!
STAN: Wait! I didn't mean to scare you!
STAN: I'm truly sorry about that. My name is Stan,
and I'm a paramedic.
CLEMONT: What happened to your leg?
STAN: Strange. It's ironic that a paramedic needs rescuing.
I was driving in that crazy storm, when I had to make
a sudden turn and crashed my ambulance.
SERENA: Oh no! Are you badly hurt?
STAN: No, I was able to patch myself up.
But more importantly,
there's something I really need to ask you guys.
ASH: What can we do?
STAN: Here. I need you to take this over to the hospital
in town.
STAN: There's a child who's waiting for this medicine.
It needs to get there as soon as possible,
but I'm in this condition
STAN: I'm sorry for having to ask in the first place,
but if you could please do this for me...
ASH: So, we just need to get it to the hospital.
STAN: Will you do it, guys?
ASH: Of course we will!
PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]
CLEMONT: But how can we get there with all that
lightning going on?
STAN: This cave used to have a direct connection straight into
Joule Town, but now the only open route is outside.
STAN: A long time ago, the cave was sealed off by a rockslide
STAN: The route's been blocked off ever since.
ASH: No problem. I'm glad you gave us a heads up!
STAN: You are?
ASH: Hawlucha! I choose you!
HAWLUCHA: [APPEARING]
ASH: Hawlucha, quick! Use Karate Chop and smash that rock!
HAWLUCHA: [KARATE CHOP MOVE]
ASH: Way to go, Hawlucha!
PIKACHU: [CHEERING]
HAWLUCHA: [GRATEFUL]
ASH: Now for the next step.

We've gotta find the shortest route!
NOIBAT: [AFFIRMATIVE]
SERENA: Braixen, let's go!

PIKACHU: [CONFUSED]
JESSIE: Us! We're preparing for trouble, too
JAMES: And we're making it double, exactly like you!
JESSIE: Still, we're protecting the world from devastation.
JAMES: Still, we're uniting all people within our nation!
JESSIE: To denounce the evils of bullying and fear!
JAMES: To extend that fear, because the Twerp is here!
JESSIE: Jessie!
JAMES: And James.
JESSIE: Team Rocket blasts off with newfound courage
at the speed of light!
JAMES: Surrender now or prepare for a windswept, furious fight!
MEOWTH: It's Meowth! 'Kay, I'll bite!
ASH: Team Rocket!
JESSIE: Zapdos! Give it a rest!
JAMES: Team Rocket time OUT!
MEOWTH: Enough
JESSIE: Meowth, NO!
MEOWTH: Oy vey...
ASH: All right, you guys, what's going on here?!
ASH: You're up to no good again, aren't you?!
MEOWTH: Honestly? Not this time.
MEOWTH: Here's the deal: We were planning on grabbing a Pokémon,
as per usual...
MEOWTH: But we hadn't planned on lugging a large load
like that big Zapdos.
HAWLUCHA: [ANGRY]
ASH: So that's what this is all about.
Now I understand why Zapdos is so angry.
JESSIE: So we got a bit carried away...
ASH: Let's ask Zapdos to let us through.
PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]
MEOWTH: Ask?!
ASH: We have to deliver medicine.
MEOWTH: Are you out of your Twerpish mind?!
ASH: Zapdos will listen to us!
PIKACHU: [ADAMANT]
ASH: This is all your fault.
We had nothing to do with any of this!
ASH: Let's go, everyone!
PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]
JESSIE: Cooperation is good in this case. Right?
JAMES: Right! Besides, if we split up, we're toast!
MEOWTH: Wait up! I don't wanna be a dumb piece of toast!
ASH: Stay back. You'll wreck this!
HAWLUCHA: [EXERTION]

We'll go with you to the Zapdos Festival!
ZAPDOS: [ANGRY]

then sneak up on Zapdos from behind and let 'em have it
with Boomburst!

ZAPDOS: [ROAR]
MEOWTH: Yeah, that worked like a charm!
JESSIE: Game! Set! MATCH!
ASH: No, not Team Rocket
JESSIE: Who else could pull off such a jumbo feat?
JAMES: Snatching victory from the hands of a Twerp is sweet!
MEOWTH: Now you can go deliver that medicine using your
Twerpish little feet!
ASH: They make me so mad
NOIVERN: [ANGRY]
ASH: Noivern! You've gotta help Zapdos!
NOIVERN: [AFFIRMATIVE]
