ASH: Hey, Dawn, where are you going in such a hurry, anyway?

DAWN: To get a new application!

ASH: What's she talking about?

BROCK: Well, an application is a new feature

that Dawn can add to her Pokétch, see?

ASH: Oh!

DAWN: It makes my Pokétch lots more useful!

I've just got to have it!

DAWN: Excuse me! On my way into town,

I got this ticket for a new Pokétch application,

so can you help me, Nurse Joy?

NURSE JOY: I'm sorry, that isn't for here!

They're giving them away at the Pokémon Center

on the other side of the woods!

ASH: All that running for nothing!

NURSE JOY: And, that giveaway is over at this afternoon, too.

BROCK: Tough break, although there's no end to the giveaways

when it comes down to my love for you, Nurse Joy!

CROAGUNK: [SURPRISED]

DAWN: Thanks, Nurse Joy! See you later!

ASH: Bye, Nurse Joy! Thanks!

CROAGUNK: [CROAKING]

NARRATOR: There's nothing like brand-new technology

to get people rushing off to upgrade to the latest

in cutting-edge advancements, and our heroes are no different!

It looks like Hearthome City will have to wait a bit longer!

JAMES: You three sure look in a huge hurry!

ASH: What makes you think that?

DAWN: You're right, which means we've got no time to talk!

JESSIE: Well, if you stopped talking, you'd realize

you could take a shortcut right through this cave here!

DAWN: Really?

JAMES: True, though at cave's end

there is a bit of a maze to deal with.

JAMES: Although, with the aid of this map,

said maze may be most conveniently managed!

BROCK: Wow! What a convenient map!

DAWN: We'll take it, thanks!

JAMES: Voila! And because you're our ,st customer,

it's all yours as our free gift to you!

DAWN: This is my lucky day! Thanks!

JESSIE: Wait just a minute. Being our ,st customer

carries great responsibility, and we'll need to take a

photograph of you and all your Pokémon for posterity!

DAWN: Remember, we're really in a rush.

JESSIE: Oh, but we'll have everything we need in no time!

DAWN: Excuse me, can we get this over quickly?

It's almost :, you know!

MEOWTH: I'm trying to figure out how to frame you Twerps.

I mean guys!

I think we should go with putting all the Pokémon

smack in the middle, with the two boys

- and the girl on the ends! - DAWN: Hurry, please!

MEOWTH: Hey, Pikachu!

MEOWTH: Why don't you jump down

and be part of your batch of Pokémon buddies?

PIKACHU: [RESIGNED]

MEOWTH: Yeah, that's getting groovy!

But it's going to be all that much better if you Pokémon

in the middle all scrunch in even closer like!

POKEMON: [ANNOYED]

MEOWTH: Perfecto!

Now you all just give me a big cheesy smile for the camera!

JESSIE: Once this cage has corralled those

clueless chumpsters, we'll be good to go!

JAMES: And they without a clue!

MEOWTH: Lots of teeth. What's this, rush hour?

DAWN: What's that?

ASH: I don't know, but look out!

MEOWTH: Yipes!

MEOWTH: This always happens in a photo sh**t.

JAMES: The whole community of Rock types

certainly has expanded!

JESSIE: Great, which means our community of Twerp Pokémon

is expanding as well!

Which includes a certain Pikachu.

JAMES: Ooh, listen to you!

DAWN: Man, I sure wish I could read this map better.

DAWN: Where am I, anyway?

DAWN: Ash? That you?

DAWN: Hello? Come on.

ASH: Great. Dawn's got the map. okay, now which way do I go?

ASH: Right, that way, Pikachu!

ASH: Wow, we found the exit already!

PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

ASH: Is that Paul?! Paul!

ASH, PIKACHU: [SCARED]

ASH: When they said "maze," they weren't kidding!

FEAROW: [CALLING]

ASH: Hey, Paul!

Have you seen Brock and Dawn around here?

- PAUL: No. Should I? - ASH: So where is everybody?

Maybe they all got stuck in the maze!

DAWN: No need to worry!

ASH: That's when I worry the most!

ASH: Quick, Pikachu, we've got to find everyone!

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

FEAROW: [CALLING]

ASH: Don't worry, Dawn and Brock, I'm coming to save you!

PIKACHU: [CALLING]

JAMES: And the Twerps come rolling in!

MEOWTH: Hope it's fun futzing with that fake map!

Here's the real deal!

JAMES: We'll breeze through that maze just like the wind!

JESSIE: And catch Pikachu 'round the bend!

MEOWTH: Ah yes, a Twerp and his Pokémon are soon separated!

JESSIE: Up!

ASH: Dawn! Brock! Hey, guys! Where are you?

JAMES: And down!

PIKACHU: [CONFUSED]

MEOWTH: Now they'll get separation anxiety!

JESSIE: Good! Better them than us!

PIKACHU: [URGENT]

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Earthquake?

MEOWTH: Quick! Time to save face!

MEOWTH: Look, suckers,

Team Rocket never makes the same mistake twice!

JAMES: Why do that when you can make it a million times?

JESSIE: Those Golem weren't out rocking

and rolling just for nothing.

JAMES: True! I'll wager I know why.

JAMES: You see?

ONIX: [ANGRY]

MEOWTH: They were just trying to save

their stony skins from that Onix!

JESSIE: May I suggest we try and do the same?

ONIX: [ATTACK]

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

JESSIE: But this is only Act One!

FEAROW: [CALLING]

DAWN: We finally found the exit, Croagunk.

CROAGUNK: [CROAKING]

DAWN: Now, we'd better get to the Pokémon Center!

FEAROW: [CALLING]

DAWN: Paul!

DAWN: Have you seen Ash or Brock anywhere?

PAUL: Not you, too!

DAWN: Pardon me for living. Bye! Let's go.

CROAGUNK: [CROAKING]

BROCK: Hey, Paul!

BROCK: Have you seen Ash or Dawn?

PAUL: No! I haven't!

BROCK: That's weird. Wonder what's eating him?

BROCK: Being all split up like this. I'm getting worried!

BROCK: How am I going to find them all in a maze?

STARAVIA: [CALLING]

BROCK: Staravia, what's up?

CROAGUNK: [SHOCKED] DAWN: Something wrong?

DAWN, CROAGUNK: [PANICKED]

SUDOWOODO: [PANICKED]

BUIZEL: [ARGUING]

PACHIRISU: [WORRIED]

ASH: I think they're all gonna have a brawl!

ASH: Stop! Knock it off! Everything will be fine!

PACHIRISU: [DISCHARGE MOVE]

ASH: Now that you got that out of your system,

can we all be nice?

PACHIRISU: [ENCOURAGING]

ASH: What's that?

ONIX: [ANGRY]

ONIX: [ANGRY]

- DAWN: Brock! - BROCK: Dawn!

DAWN: But Brock, where's Ash?

BROCK: We haven't found him just yet. Staravia!

Go up and check it out one more time!

STARAVIA: [SHOCKED] BROCK: What?

STARAVIA: [SCARED] BROCK: Staravia!

JESSIE: Is that a Twerp calling out to implore?

JAMES: I think we should catch who we came for!

- JESSIE: Pikachu? - JAMES: It's true!

MEOWTH: Time to score!

JESSIE: We've had such a rough day!

JAMES: But now it's time to play!

JESSIE: We've paid all our dues by blasting off early!

JAMES: But we're back here again and feeling quite surly!

- JESSIE: With Jessie. - JAMES: And James, too!

MEOWTH: Meowth, yahoo!

JESSIE: Putting the maze losers in their place!

- JAMES: We're Team Rocket! - JESSIE: In your face!

MIME JR.: [MIMICKING]

STARAVIA: [SCARED]

DAWN: Staravia, no!

JAMES: It's amazing how lame you are!

MEOWTH: Since you're stuck, I'm sure you ain't going far!

JESSIE: What do you say we get to padding

our Pokémon portfolio?

MEOWTH, JAMES: Let's go!

BROCK: Watch out, guys! Here it comes!

JAMES: We missed!

JESSIE: Don't get your hair in a heap!

We'll simply circle around and then bam! Whammo!

MEOWTH: Away we go!

BROCK: Great work, Pikachu!

BROCK: It's hard to see because of all these high walls,

but I have a feeling Ash is much closer to us than we think!

DAWN: Hello, Ash! Where are you?

DAWN: If you can hear me, say something!

BROCK: Let us know where you are!

ASH: Whoa, it's the guys! They sound real close!

- Hey! I'm over here! - DAWN: Ash! Is that you?

ASH: Yeah! And Piplup, Buizel, Pachirisu, and Sudowoodo!

DAWN: Finally!

BROCK: The trick is to get over this wall!

MEOWTH: It looks like those Twerps are all bunched up

like a bag full of bananas!

JESSIE: I do suggest we crush the rock for the block,

so they can't be going-going-gone!

MEOWTH: Right on!

STARAVIA: [CALLING]

ASH: Staravia! Hey, give back my Staravia!

JESSIE: Not today-via!

ASH: Oh no! Now how do we get through?

ASH: It's not funny! All right, I need your help!

ASH: We've got to aim for Team Rocket's balloon!

ASH: But don't hit Staravia, got it? Just the balloon!

SUDOWOODO: [DETERMINED]

ASH: Now, Piplup, Bubble Beam, and Buizel,

Sonic Boom, let's go!

PIPLUP: [BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

BUIZEL: [SONIC BOOM MOVE]

ASH: Yeah! Now, Pachirisu!

PACHIRISU: [DETERMINED]

SUDOWOODO: [PLEADING]

ASH: Right! Sudowoodo, you use Mimic

and help me cheer them on, okay?

ASH: Now, Pachirisu, Discharge!

SUDOWOODO: [MIMIC MOVE]

PACHIRISU: [DISCHARGE MOVE]

JAMES: Aimed like a Twerp!

JESSIE: Good shot! With enemies like you, who needs friends?

JESSIE: Buh-bye!

DAWN: Ash! What's wrong? Are you all okay? What happened?

DAWN: They're just a few inches away,

and we can't do a thing!

BROCK: Wait, Dawn. The walls in this maze are surprisingly thin!

Maybe we could use a move of some kind

- and break right through them! - DAWN: That's it!

DAWN: Hey, Ash, did you hear that?

ASH: Yeah! We're gonna give it a shot from this side, too!

BROCK: Great!

DAWN: We'll need everybody's help!

BROCK: Pikachu, you take care of Team Rocket!

BUNEARY: [ADMIRING]

BROCK: Ash, aim right here! Focus on this one spot!

- ASH: Right! Got it! - DAWN: All right, Ash,

I'm going to freeze the wall with Buneary's Ice Beam.

That should help!

BROCK: Then we'll pound on the wall,

using Croagunk's Brick Break,

along with Aipom's Swift and Turtwig's Razor Leaf, too!

ASH: All right, let's give this one more try!

ASH: Pachirisu, maybe you should sit this one out.

DAWN: All right, Buneary, Ice Beam, let's go!

BUNEARY: [ICE BEAM MOVE]

ASH: Do it!

SUDOWOODO: [MIMICKING]

PIPLUP: [BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

BUIZEL: [WATER g*n MOVE]

BROCK: Now, our turn!

AIPOM: [SWIFT MOVE]

TURTWIG: [RAZOR LEAF MOVE]

CROAGUNK: [BRICK BREAK MOVE]

HAPPINY: [EXCITED]

BROCK: Happiny!

DAWN: Your super strength sure comes in handy

when your friends are in trouble!

HAPPINY: [PLEASED]

JESSIE: Don't forget your friends from the dark side!

JESSIE: We turn our backs for one second, and now this!

JAMES: I think they're attempting to

break a hole in the wall!

MEOWTH: I wouldn't bet the ranch!

Even their Twerpy heads aren't as hard as those walls!

PIPLUP: [BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

BUIZEL: [WATER g*n MOVE]

AIPOM: [SWIFT MOVE]

TURTWIG: [RAZOR LEAF MOVE]

CROAGUNK: [BRICK BREAK MOVE]

ASH: Keep it up!

BUIZEL: [WATER g*n MOVE]

BROCK: All right, almost there.

DAWN: Keep going!

AIPOM: [SWIFT MOVE]

TURTWIG: [RAZOR LEAF MOVE]

CROAGUNK: [BRICK BREAK MOVE]

- ASH: Hey, we're through! - BROCK: There you are!

DAWN: Come on! Hurry!

ASH: Thanks, guys! You saved us!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: What?!

JAMES: Didn't your parents teach you

not to break other people's property?

JESSIE: Get it in gear, Meowth, or I'll have to break you!

MEOWTH: Rightie-ooh!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: What a welcome!

ASH: Iron Tail!

PIKACHU: [IRON TAIL MOVE]

STARAVIA: [EXCITED]

ASH: Now, Pikachu, Thunderbolt!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Looks like the maze craze

has seen its last days!

ASH: With this team, we can do anything we need to!

POKEMON: [TRIUMPHANT]

DAWN: All right! Yeah! What an application!

DAWN: I got Coin Toss!

ASH: Sounds cool! Wow!

BROCK: Coin Toss may be cool,

but I have other cool things in mind.

BROCK: Like falling down!

CROAGUNK: [CROAKING]

DAWN, ASH, BROCK: Hmm.

ASH: Dawn, let's use Coin Toss

to decide which way we should go!

DAWN: Good idea, Ash! Heads we go right, tails we go left.

Let 'er rip!

ASH: It's tails!

BROCK: You sure that's such a good idea?

DAWN, ASH: No need to worry, Brock!

NARRATOR: And so, a slight detour to upgrade Dawn's Pokétch

has shown our heroes just what a great team they've all become!

Then, with a quick Coin Toss for good luck,

it's off once again on the road to Hearthome City!
