04x47 - Right On, Rhydon!

[bunniefuu]

[all snoring]

- To-to-to-to-to!

Togi-togi-togi-togi!

- Pika?

male narrator:
It's early morning,

just past sunup,
and our heroes have spent

a restful night camped by
a quiet, peaceful lakeshore.

- Togi-togi-togi-togi!

- Pika!

Pi?

- Togi-togi?

- Pika-pi!

- Togi-togi!

- [yawns]

- Pika-pika!

- What's the matter, Pikachu?

- Pika!
- Huh?

There's nothing there
but water.

Huh?

- Pika!
- Agh!

- [roaring]

[singing]
- Pokémon, Pokémon, Pokémon

- Let's do it.

I wanna be the very best

Like no one ever was

Ever was, ever was

To catch them is my real test

To train them is my cause

My whole life has led to this

Time to test my skills

I know I just can't miss

Gonna show the world

Born to be a winner

- Johto

- Born to be a champion

Born to be a winner

Born to be the very best

Pokémon

- It couldn't have been
a Rhydon.

- Well, maybe it couldn't
have been, but it was.

- You were half-asleep
when you saw it.

It must have been a Feraligatr
or a Magikarp.

- What I saw was a Rhydon!

- Then tell me how
a Rock Pokémon like Rhydon

could live underwater.

- I'll tell you how.

- Huh?

- Marill!
Mar!

- Very easily.

- Ah!
My name's Brock!

Never mind telling us
about Rhydon, miss.

Tell us about you!

- Well, my name is Pietra,

and this is my Marill.

- Marill!

- Pietra,
what an enchanting name.

If you haven't had
a morning beverage yet,

perhaps you'd permit me
to prepare a cup of tea

that's as delicate
and stimulating as yourself.

Ah!
Not the ear!

- We're talking about
the Rhydon,

so hold the tea
and cut the baloney.

- I know I saw one,

but why would a Rhydon
be swimming out in a lake?

- It is unusual,
but a Rhydon who lives nearby

learned to use
the Surf attack.

- That's funny.

Rock Types like Rhydon

usually don't like the water.

- That is funny.

I thought you knew everything
about Rock Types, Brocko.

- Uh, which way did it go?

- Well, it shot up
out of the water,

and then it turned around
and started swimmin' off

toward the far side of the lake
before it disappeared.

- [sighs]

- Marill!

- It sounds to me

like you're looking
for that Rhydon too.

- Wow.

Must be hard to dig a tunnel
like this.

- It is.

But it's going to make things
a whole lot easier.

You see, my grandma
has to cross this mountain

to get into town.

It's a long trip,

and the other day,
she sprained her ankle.

If she could cut
straight through,

it'd make her life
a whole lot easier.

- Trio-trio-trio!
Trio-trio-trio!

- Hey!
Dugtrio!

- Pika!

- They're little,
but they're strong.

- Togepi!

- Does the tunnel
have anything to do

with why you're looking
for that Rhydon?

- Well, you see,
we're almost at the point

of breaking through
to the other side.

[both growling]

- You even have a Graveler
and a Sandslash.

- Pika.

- Well, yeah,
but they're having a hard time

breaking through this rock,

and some water's
started leaking through.

- Sandslash!
- Graveler!

- The problem is,
Sandslash and Graveler

are Ground Types,
and they hate the water.

- That must be
why you want a Rhydon

who's not afraid of water.

- Marill!

- Yes, if I can catch it,

I can use it to finish digging
the tunnel.

- You don't need a Rhydon.

Just leave everything to me,
Pietra!

- But...

- I've got the Pokémon
who can handle this job!

- [growls]

- Onix?

- I know what you're thinking,

but I'm an experienced
Pokémon Breeder.

It may be a Ground Type,

but I've raised it to be tougher
than the average Onix.

- Mar!

- Go, Onix!

Don't let a little water
scare you!

- [growling]

[roars]

- Onix!
Where are you going?

Come back!
I mean--return!

- I guess Onix
isn't quite as tough

as Brock thought it was.

- Pika...

- Togepi!

- Well, it was worth a try.

- Since Onix couldn't help you,

maybe we could go back
to the lake

and try to find that
surfin' Rhydon for you.

- That'd be great.

- Marill!

- Did you hear what I heard?

- I certainly did!

- The Boss would flip

over a Rhydon
that likes the water!

We got to catch it
before they do!

- Wobbuffet!

- It's too bad we couldn't
simply make a trade.

- Wobb!

- I've only seen it a few times,

but from what
I can figure out,

the Rhydon lives
somewhere in these woods,

and every so often,
it comes out for a swim.

- Marill!

- Then our best bet

is to look around for it
in the woods.

- Well, let's go.

- There's a place close by

where I found
some Rhydon tracks.

Maybe we should start there.

Here they are.
- Marill!

- These hoof prints should make
finding that Rhydon a cinch.

- How come you didn't just
follow 'em on your own, Pietra?

- I've tried that,

but it isn't as simple
as it seems.

- But the tracks should lead us
right to Rhydon.

- Instead of talking about it,

why don't we give it a try?

- Pika!

- Good idea.

- They disappear at the shore.

- It must have gone
straight into the lake.

- Yes, that's exactly
the problem.

Every Rhydon trail I follow

leads me directly
to the lakeshore.

- It really must love swimming.

- Hey, look.
An apple.

- I find those
all over the woods.

The Rhydon loves apples

and leaves the cores
everywhere.

- Then that means the Rhydon

might have eaten
this one too.

- That core looks pretty fresh.

Maybe Rhydon got it
from an apple tree nearby.

- Yeah, and maybe
we'll find Rhydon too.

- Pika!

- Well, now that we know
what that Rhydon likes to eat...

- We'll just find where it feeds
and lie in wait.

- Heh!

Lyin' and waitin' happens to be
my specialty!

- Ah!
- Hey, look there.

- Footprints!

- Do you think
they're Rhydon tracks?

- Well, of course
they're Rhydon tracks.

What else could they be?

- Beats me.

- Let's go!
- [laughs]

- [chomping]

- Ah!
- Hey, you hear that?

- It's right behind that bush.

[laughter]

- Ah!

- Wobb-wobb!

- Hey, what's the big idea,
blobbo?

- Yes, we're starving too.
What about us?

- Wobbuffet!

- Pika?

- Come on, guys!

[all mumbling and chomping]

Team Rocket?

What are you losers
doin' here?

- Prepare for trouble--

[mumbling]

- [mumbling]

- [chomps]

[mumbling]

- [mumbling]

[both mumbling]

- [muffled]
To extend our reach

to the stars above.

- [muffled shouting]

- [choking]

- Team Rocket blasts off--
[coughs]

At the speed of light!

- [gasping]

- Meowth!
That's right!

- Wobbuffet!

- I didn't understand a word
they said.

- [growling]
- Togi?

- Rhy!

- The Rhydon!

- This is where Rhydon's
feeding ground must be.

- [growls]

Don!

- It sounds a bit angry.

- It sounds
a little hungry too.

- Wobbuffet!

- Take these.

I hardly touched 'em!

- Don!

[all screaming]

- Wah!

[together]
We're blasting off again!

- Wobbu-wobb!

- Don!

- Rhydon, you're strong,
and I need your help.

So let me battle you
and try to capture you!

- Marill!
Mar!

thud!

[all shouting]

thud!

[all shouting]

- [growls]

- That's just the kind
of powerful Pokémon I need!

- Marill!

- Rhydon's gonna get away!

- Pika!

- We need you, Totodile!

- Totodile!

[babbling]

- We can't lose it this time,
Marill!

- Mar!

- My Water Pokémon
will really be able

to help out on this one.

- Yah!

- Goldeen!

- Poliwhirl!

- Everybody go
and find that Rhydon!

- And hurry!
- Move out!

[all shout]

- Come on.

We'll follow along in my boat.
- Great!

- Well, we didn't get
that Rhydon.

- Yeah, but it got us.
- Oh, well.

[motor rumbling]

- Huh?
- What's that?

- It's the twerps
and that girl.

- What are they doin' now?

- Rhydon's got to be down there
someplace.

- Did you find anything,
Marill?

- Marill!

- Totodile!

[babbling]

- Hey!

Totodile, cut it out!

This isn't a vacation!

- Totodile!

[growls]

- Don!

- Oh!
- It's the Rhydon!

- And Totodile!

- Rhy!

- Toto-toto-toto-toto!

[yelping]

Ack!

- Are you okay?
- Toto!

- Rhydon, let's battle!

- Mar!

- Staryu! Goldeen! Poliwhirl!

Surround it
so it can't get away!

- Yah!

- Goldeen!

- Poliwhirl!

- Don!

- Totodile, follow it!

- Toto!

- You go too, Marill!

- All of you, follow it!

- Don!

[whirring]

- Marill!

[all yelping]

- What's that?

- Rhydon must be using
its Horn Drill

to create a whirlpool!

- Get out of the water!

- Pika!

[all groaning]

- Oh, that Rhydon's
gonna be tough to catch.

- Boy, you said it.

- Quick, guys,
look over there!

It's going ashore
on that little island!

- Marill!

- Apple trees!

That island must be
its feeding ground!

- Rhydon must like apples
so much

that it got over its fear
of water to swim there.

- All we have to do now
is get to that island.

- Rhydon won't get away
this time.

- Marill!

- They figured out
the whole thing for us!

- We'll just beat them
to the island.

- Watch out, Rhydon.

We'll be ready.

- Who's that Pokémon?

It's Sunflora!

- Sunflora! Sun!

- Whew!
- The trap's finally ready.

- Say,
what happened to Jessie?

- [snoring]

- Hey, why do we
have to sl*ve

while she gets to snooze?

- Why ask why?

Let's just be happy
our trap's set

and wait for that Rhydon.

- Ahh, what bliss.

I hope Rhydon
doesn't show up right away.

- Yeah, diggin' all day
makes you want to drift away.

[crashing]

- Huh?

What are you sleeping for?
Wake up!

It's in the trap!
It's in the trap!

- Wobbuffet!

[all groan]

- I hope Rhydon's
getting hungry.

- Togi!

- We'll be ready for it,
right, Marill?

- Marill!

- Pika!
- Huh?

- Rhydon, battle us!

- Don!

- You're not gettin' off
that easy.

Pikachu, Thunderbolt!
Go!

- Pika!

Pika...chu!

- Rhy!

- Rhydon, don't run away!

I challenge you to a battle!

- Marill!

- [growls]

- Hey, what's going on here?

- Prepare for trouble.
Don't you get it?

- When we want something,
we simply net it!

- We recited our motto
to you before.

- But our mouths
aren't stuffed anymore!

- No need to repeat ourselves

so we'll cut it short.

both: That's right!

- Our friend needs that Rhydon,
you losers!

- Yeah, bring it back here!

- No can do!

- This Rhydon is a special
present for our Boss!

- Yeah, but thanks a lot
for helpin' us pick it up here!

both: Bye-bye!

- Wait!
Come back!

- Marill!

- Don't worry.

I know how to bring 'em
right back down to earth!

Go, Crobat!

- Cro!

- Crobat, use your Wing Attack
before they get away!

- Cro!

[whooshing]

[all screaming]

- [laughs]

Luckily, we brought our
Wobbuffet rubber life raft.

- Those twerps must think
we're as stupid as we look.

- Put some elbow grease into it,
Jimmy,

and let's slip away.

[laughter]

- There they are!

- Faster, Pietra!

- We forgot about
the motorboat!

- They're headed this way!

- Let that Rhydon go!

- [growls]

- James, row faster,
full speed ahead!

- This is full speed.

- Bulbasaur, I choose you!

- Bulbasaur!

- Cut Rhydon loose
with your Razor Leaf attack!

- Saur!

[all shouting]

- Now shock it to 'em
with your Thunderbolt, Pikachu.

Go!

- Pika...chu!

[all shrieking]

[together]
Team Rocket's

blasting off again!

- Rhydon, wait!

You owe me a battle!

- Pietra!

- Rhydon!

- You're not getting away
this time,

no matter what!

- Marill!

[all gasp]

- [roars]

- Battle me,

or I'm not letting you go!

- Pietra!

- Marill!
Mar!

- Pietra!
Pietra, are you okay?

- Wait, Rhydon, please!

Please!

I'm begging.

- Marill!

- [growls]

- Thank you, Rhydon.

I knew you'd come through!

- Marill!

- All right, Marill,
this is it.

- Marill!

[growls]

- Don!

- Dodge it, Marill!

- Marill!

- Use your Water g*n attack
and hurry!

- Marill!

- Don!

- It's not afraid of water.

Try something else, Pietra!

- Pika!

- Marill,
try a Tackle attack!

- Marill!

[groaning]

Marill!

- Don!

- Hurry, Pietra!

- Marill, use your BubbleBeam!

- Marill!

- Guys, I think it's working!

- Pika!

- [growling]

- [whimpering]

- Hurry, Marill, try another
Water g*n attack!

- [spluttering]

- Rhydon!

- Even though Rhydon may not
be afraid of Water Attacks,

they still work against it
really well.

- Throw that, Pokéball!

- All right.

Go, Pokéball, go!

- [roars]

- [groans]

- It's strong!

- Marill, try another
BubbleBeam attack!

- [spluttering]

- [growls]

- Use another Water g*n!
Hurry!

- Marill!

- Oh!
- Pika!

- It's no use.

If Rhydon can dodge Water g*n
and BubbleBeam,

Pietra's got no way
to beat it!

- Rhydon!

- Quick, Marill, dodge it!

- Marill!
- Don!

- Marill!

- Marill,
use Iron Tail attack!

- Marill!

Marill!

- Don!

- [chirping]

- Don!

- Marill!

- Don!

- Pietra, hurry!

- Well, it's now or never.

All right, Pokéball, go!

- Togi!

ding!

[all cheering]

- We finally caught
the swimming Rhydon!

- Marill!

- Thank you, Marill!

- I have to admit,
for a minute there,

I thought Rhydon
had you beat,

but using Iron Tail
was a stroke of genius!

- I may have thought of it,
Brock,

but you did it.

You were perfect, Marill.

- Marill!
Mar!

[singing]
- Pokémon, Johto

Pokémon, Johto

- Rhydon, I choose you!

- Don!

- A trickle like that's
not gonna stop your Rhydon!

- Pika!

- Well, let's see
if your Horn Drill

can cut through that rock,
Rhydon!

- Don!

[rock crunching]

- Great!

Now use your Take Down
to break down that wall!

- Rhydon!

[crashing]

[rocks crumbling]

[all coughing]

- Pi!

- Yay!
- Pika!

- You did it, Rhydon.

- Marill!

- Rhy!

narrator: Once again,
our heroes lend a helping hand

to a Trainer in trouble.

And once again,
they return to the road

as their Johto journey
continues.
