05x17 - Espeon, Not Included

[bunniefuu]

[all gasp]

- It's Ecruteak City.

male narrator:
As they continue their journey

to Mahogany Town,

our heroes are happy
to make a brief stop

in Ecruteak City.

[singing]
- Pokémon!

- No time to question
my moves

I stick to the path
that I choose

Me and my friends
are gonna do it right

You'll never see us
run away from a fight

To be a Master
is my dream

All I've got to do
is believe

- I believe

- I've got a chance
to win

I'm on my way
to victory

- Pokémon!
- I can be a champion

If I just believe

I'm on a Master Quest

- Master Quest

- I want the whole world
to see

- I believe

- I'm gonna be
the very best

'Cause all I've got to do
is believe in me

- Pokémon!

- You know, these are the best
kabobs I've ever eaten.

- I forgot to tell you, Ash,

I got an email from Sakura,

and she's going to meet up
with us here.

- That's the girl who's got
an Eevee, right?

- Yeah, along with four
beautiful older sisters.

But that's not important.

[slurps]

- Wonder where she is.

Huh?

Look at that.

- It's an Espeon.

- Misty.

- Huh?

- Sakura.
- Hi.

- Hi.

- It's been way too long.

- I was getting worried.

- Oh, sorry, I was just taking
care of Espeon and it got late.

- That's okay.

I didn't realize
you had an Espeon.

- Yeah, my Eevee evolved
into Espeon.

- Wow. Let me see.

- Espeon: the Sun Pokémon.

Espeon are able to read
air currents,

allowing it to predict
the future,

as well as its opponents'
next moves.

- Cool.

- So it's a Psychic type, huh?

- Uh-huh.

- Your family now has
all the evolutions of Eevee.

Satsuki has a Jolteon.

Sumomo has a Vaporeon.

Tamao has an Umbreon.

And Koume has a Flareon.

And presenting your Espeon.

- Awesome.
You really do have all of them.

- Sakura, that's so cool.

- Yeah, you're right.
Now that Eevee evolved, we do.

Right, Espeon?

- [squeals]

- Anybody home?

- I know you.

- Hi.

- It's nice to see
all of you again.

- Such radiance...

And such beauty...

Leaves me breathless
and woozy.

Oh! Oh!

Aah! Aah!

Be still, my heart!

You are the four most beautiful
girls in the world!

- Then would you mind
sharing with us

which one is the most
beautiful, huh?

- I can't do that.

Tell them, Ash.

- [laughs]

- That's okay, Brock.
You can come out from hiding.

We were just about
to leave anyway.

- Huh? Oh, that's right.

Their favorite
dance instructor's in town.

- For one day only,
so we have to go.

- If you'd like, you can stay
here and freshen up a bit.

- Great.
It's been a really long trip.

- Down the road
of broken hearts!

- You know, Misty,
I was wondering,

would you let me battle
one of your Pokémon?

- Of course you can.
But how come?

- It's really great
to be able to practice

with my sisters' Pokémon
and all,

but I think
a well-trained Pokémon

needs all kinds
of battling experiences.

- You're right.

Pikachu and I have done
lots of battling.

Right, Pikachu?

- Pika, Pika!

- Okay, I would love that.

Now we'll be able to see

just how strong
your Espeon really is.

- That'll be great.

- I'll be the referee.

Are both Trainers
ready to go?

- Yeah.
Corsola, I choose you.

- Corsola. Corsola.
Corsola.

- Misty, that's so cool.
When did you get a Corsola?

- I caught it not that long ago,
but I've trained it well.

- Let's go, Espeon.

- [mewls]

- Welcome, class.

- We're honored
to meet you.

- We understand that you are all
looking for dance instructions?

- Yes.

- We are from
the Pokémon Dance Academy.

- Where those who dance
with Pokémon dance with nature.

- We are the only authorized
teachers of this art form.

- The only ones in the world?

- If you're serious
about cutting a rug,

you've come
to the right place.

all: We're honored
to be your students.

- My dear Jessie,
shall we show them?

- Right away.

Come, come.

Oh, yoo-hoo, Arbok.

- Mm-hmm.
Come out, Victreebel.

Not me,
you potted pea-brain!

- Let go!

Your wig. Your wig.

[laughs]

The real charm of Pokémon
dancing is its unpredictability.

- Indeed.

- Huh.

- Ahem, where were we?

Ha!

- Huh?

- Great job, Espeon.

- Corsola, hang on.

- Corsola!

- Man, that Espeon's
doing really well.

- Pikachu.

- Corsola, Spike Cannon.

- Corsola!

Corsola!

- Espeon, dodge it.

Espeon, Quick Attack.

- Corsola!

- Corsola!

- Yeah. That was great.
Guess that's that.

- Not so fast.

Check out
Corsola's strongest move.

- Huh?
- Corsola, Recover.

- Corsola.

- Wow, that Recovery
was so incredible, Misty.

- And now it's your turn
to twirl.

- You did bring your Pokémon,
didn't you?

- Yes.

Come on out, Jolteon.

- Okay, Vaporeon.

- Let's go, Umbreon.

- Umbreon.
- Your turn, Flareon.

- Now, let's see if any
of your moves can move me.

- [purrs]

- Vapor! Vapor! Va!

- Flare. Flare. Flare.

- [exclaiming]

- Hmm.

Well, your dancing
is just fine.

But your Pokémon just don't seem
to have the moves down.

- Our Pokémon have never had
a dancing lesson in their lives.

- Perhaps they might benefit
from a bit of private tutoring,

eh, Jessie?

- Brilliant, James.

- Don't be shy.
Right this way.

- It's okay.

- You just relax and we'll
take care of everything.

- Everything.

[both chuckling]

- Right this way, Jolteon.

- Jolt!

- Just beyond these doors

is our private Pokémon disco.

You'll learn all the latest and
greatest Poké-moves in there.

- That's right,
one leg in front of the other.

Splendid.

- Are you ready?
Here goes.

- Now, let's dance.

[all scream]

[chattering]

- [singing]
And here we go

- Huh?

- Wait.

Umbreon's gone.

They're all gone.

[gasps]

[Pokémon chattering]

- Where are they going?
- Umbreon.

- Flareon.
- Hey, who are you guys?

- Prepare for trouble,
you'll soon hear our name.

- And then make it double
so you'll know who to blame.

- To protect the world
from devastation.

- To unite all peoples
within our nation.

- Ha! To denounce the evils
of truth and love.

- Ooh! To extend our reach
to the stars above.

- Ha-ha! Jessie.

- Hmm, James.

- Team Rocket blasts off
at the speed of light.

- Surrender now
or prepare to fight.

- Meowth, that's right.

- Team Rocket.

- We have all of Eevee's
evolved form.

- And now you know
who took them.

- They're--they're gone.

- Corsola!

- You okay?

- [whimpers]
- [gasps]

- This match is over.

Corsola wins.

- Espeon, you were great.

- [squeaks]

- Misty, where did you find
such a powerful Corsola?

- I caught it
on the Whirl Islands.

- I've heard
of those islands.

- Yeah, they're great.

We went to every single
one of them.

- One of the islands
is called Yellow Rock Isle,

and that's where I met
this energetic little Corsola,

who was staying with
another family at the time.

I caught this little cutie
with my Poliwhirl.

- Corsola! Corsola! Corsola!
- Awesome.

- And then
while we were there,

we entered the Whirl Cup
competition.

We met all sorts of great people
and Pokémon Trainers,

and saw a humongous Gyarados

and a bunch of different kinds
of Water Pokémon, like Chinchou.

- Wow, cool.

- I did pretty well.
The best eight.

Ash got best .

- [chuckles]

- Boy, I sure wish
I could travel like that.

- Why can't you, Sakura?
Because of your sisters?

- Mm-hmm.

- Sakura.
- Pika?

- Sakura, it's awful.

- Here they come now.

- What?
Team Rocket took your Pokémon?

- They got all four of them?

- That's just terrible.

- Well then, Espeon and I
will just have to go

and get all your Pokémon back.

all: Huh?
- Sakura.

- For Satusuki
and her sisters,

I will do everything in my power
to right this wrong.

- Mm-hmm.

- Cro.

- Crobat, take a look around

and come back as soon
as you find something.

- We should all split up.
It'll be quicker that way.

- Right.

- Who's that Pokémon?

It's Drowzee.

- Hip-hip hooray!

- All of those late nights
we were up dancing

with Arbok and Victreebel
really paid off, eh, Jessie?

- Hmm.

There's an Umbreon,

a Jolteon, a Vaporeon,

and Flareon.

We now have every possible
Eevee evolu...

- Yeah, yeah?
Go on, go on.

[groans]

- Umbreon, Jolteon,
Vaporeon, Flareon.

No Espeon!

- Four out of five
ain't bad.

- You know they're not worth
a hill of beans

unless we have the full set.

All right, you.

You told me the youngest
of those sister twerps

had an Espeon, right?

Didn't you? Huh?
- She did. She does.

The only teensy weensy problem
is she didn't show up

for our dance class,
so, well, I...

- Man, oh, man.

There comes a point
when enough is enough.

- You're right.
I've had enough!

Either I get my Espeon
or you get my fist.

- You see anything?

- Nothing.
- What about you, Misty?

- I'm sorry.

- Even using Supersonic
from the air,

Crobat still couldn't
find a thing.

- They have to be somewhere.

- If we just had a clue.

- You know, I remember
as they were flying away

they said something
about having caught

all the evolved forms
of Eevee.

- But they don't have Espeon.

- [whimpers]

- Hmm?

- What's it saying?

- We could use
my Espeon as bait.

- Sakura, are you sure?

- Yeah. Team Rocket must be mad

because they have
all of your Pokémon,

but they don't have my Espeon,
so they're missing one.

- You know, I think she's got
a point there.

- If they think they can capture
Espeon with no trouble,

we should be able
to capture them.

- But...
- Hold it a sec.

If something goes wrong,
you could lose Espeon.

- We'll be fine.
Right, Espeon?

But we really should do
something quick,

or you guys may never see
your Pokémon again.

- Misty, will you help me plan
this out?

- Sure.

- Come on.

- I am but your humble servant,
my sweet.

- You'll serve her better
from afar.

- I don't remember ever seeing
Sakura act like this before.

- You're right.

- Here, Espee, Espee, Espeon.

- Should be here somewhere.

- Where's the littlest brat?

- I think you're obsessing
over nothing.

- Who asked you?

- Ooh! Espeon sighted.
- Hmm?

- Ah! Show me.

Look at that sleeping beauty.

It's more like a sitting duck.

- And no witnesses.

- James, it's practically
asking us to take it.

It'd be a shame to leave
the poor thing down there alone.

- Yeah!

- Here they come.

- How do you know?

- Espeon have the ability
to read into the air patterns,

so it can tell
when something's coming.

- Huh?

- [grunting]

Bingo.

Well, that wouldn't
have been easier

if Espeon had just jumped
into the net.

- They got him.

- Go, Crobat.

Follow them.

- I sure hope your Espeon's
all right, Sakura.

- I think it'll be
just fine.

- And I'm sure my Crobat
will keep an eye on them.

- Don't worry, really.
Espeon can see into the future.

And if there's
any danger at all,

it'll be able to avoid it
before it ever happens.

- Here, little Espeon,
it's chow time.

- Yummy, yummy, yummy.

- In your tummy, tummy, tummy.

- Huh? Do you think
it's a vegetarian?

- All right, then.
Let's use this chain instead.

Espeon, I've got a little
surprise for you.

A pretty necklace.

Come here.
Let's try it on, hmm?

Why you ungrateful
little beast!

Get back here!

- [squeaks]

- Umbreon.

- Would you look at that.

It just wanted to be
with its friends.

- Wobbuffet!

- Mm-hmm.

That's the end
of our conversation.

- Wobbu...

- Careful.
Don't mess this up.

- Uh, okay.

Just one more step.

- [shouts]

- Espeon, look out!

- [squeals]

- Good job, Espeon.

- [squeals]

- You've sure got some nerve

trying to steal
all their Pokémon like that.

- The twerps.

- In the flesh.

- If you think you can
steal back what we stole,

just think again.

- We knew if we used
Espeon as bait

that your greed would lead us
right to you

and the other Pokémon.

And it sure worked.

- It was a trap!
That's just despicable!

Ooh, that's the last wool
that gets pulled

over these gorgeous eyes.

Go, Arbok.
- Go, Victreebel.

Not again.

This is getting old.

- Go steal back our Espeon!
- Go steal back our Espeon!

- Corsola, let's go!

- Corsola. Corsola. Corsola.

- [squeaks]

- Count me in, too.
- Great.

- Ready to go, Espeon?

- [squeaks]

- Arbok, let's go.

- Corsola, Spike Cannon.

- Corsola, Corsola!

- Victreebel,
Razor Leaf.

- Espeon, Quick Attack now.

- [squeaks]

- Okay, now Swift Attack.

- Espeon's gotten
a lot stronger.

- Yeah, and so has our Sakura.

- Arbok, Wrap Attack.

- Corsola!

- Go, Arbok.
Poison Sting Attack.

- Corsola. Corsola.
Corsola. Corsola.

- That's it, Corsola.

- Espeon, give them
a Psybeam.

- [shrieks]

[both scream]

- At least their dancing's
improved.

- Pika.

[all shouting]

- All right, Corsola,
Tackle Attack.

- Corsola!

Corsola. Corsola.
Corsola. Corsola.

Corsola.

- Ready, Pikachu?
Thunderbolt them.

- Pikachu!

- Told you that fifth Pokémon
was bad news.

- Here's some bad news.

- Team Rocket's
blasting off again!

- [squeals]

[all chattering]

[all laughing and chattering]

- Sakura, you really did it.

- It was thanks to you,
Espeon.

- [squeaks]

- Thank you so much,
you guys.

- Don't thank us.

Sakura and Espeon
did everything.

- Pika, Pika.

- You and Espeon
were amazing, Sakura.

- I wanted to ask you.

- You want to get out
and see the world, right?

- Huh? Can I?

- Mm-hmm.
You're really a big girl now.

You all agree, don't you?

- Mm-hmm.

- Will you be traveling
with Misty and her friends?

- Yeah, that would be
so awesome.

Do you want to?
- Mm-mm.

I just need to go alone.

I think it'd be best if I go
on my own a little bit first.

You know, make sure I know
how to care of myself.

You understand?

- Of course.

- Mm-hmm.

- Right now I'm headed off
for Violet City.

- We're on our way
to Mahogany Town.

- Well, take care, Sakura.

I'll email you.
- I will too.

Don't you worry.

- Be careful.

- Call us if you need anything.

- I will.

- This is just like
when I first went out on my own

and my sisters were there
to say good-bye to me.

I can remember, I was
a little bit nervous at first,

but then I met Ash and Brock.

- I'm sure Sakura's going
to make a lot of friends too.

- That's right,
just like you have, Misty.

- Pikachu.

- Sakura, you've got
to promise me

that the next time
we see each other,

you'll tell me all about the
wonderful places you've visited

and all the great people
you've met, okay?

- I promise, Misty.

male narrator: It's never easy
to say good-bye to friends,

whether they be
old friends or new.

But just as a brand-new life
awaits Sakura,

so do brand-new adventures
await our heroes.

- No time to question
my moves

I stick to the path
that I choose

Me and my friends
are gonna do it right

To be a Master
is my dream

All I've got to do
is believe

- I believe

- I'm on a Master Quest

- Master Quest

- I want the whole world
to see

- I believe

- I'm gonna be
the very best

'Cause all I've got to do
is believe in me

- Pokémon!
