05x51 - A Crowning Achievement

[bunniefuu]

male narrator: While bringing
Larvitar back to Mount Silver

on their way to the Johto League
Silver Conference,

our heroes are finding
a quiet moment to kick back,

relax, and enjoy a bite to eat.

- Is that good, Larvitar?

It looks great!

- Lar!

- Togetoge?

- Well, guess it still doesn't
like me.

- Don't worry.
It'll warm up eventually.

- Huh?
- Toge?

- Hey, what is that?

- Pika?
- Lar!

- Whoa, is that a Pokémon?

[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

And 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

And I believe

I'm gonna be the very best

'Cause all I've got to do

Is believe in me

- Pokémon

- Elekid!

- Hey, look, it's an Elekid!

- Cool!
Let's see.

- Elekid, the Electric Pokémon.

Elekid is the evolved form
of Electabuzz.

It generates electricity
by spinning its arms.

- [grumbling]

- Lar!
- Pika!

- Wait, you give that back!

It belongs to Larvitar!

- Pika!

- [grumbles]

- Pikachu!

- Hang on you guys!
Stop!

[yells]

- Oh!
- Oh, no, Ash!

- Lar!

- Bad idea.
- Pikachu!

- [grumbles]

- Lar!

- [grumbling]
- Lar!

[all yelp]

- Larvitar!
- Pika!

- We're takin' these two
with us!

- So say good-bye!

- Yes, goodbye
and good riddance!

- Not so fast!

- Bayleef, let's go!

- Bay!

- Razor Leaf attack!

- Bayleef!
Bay! Bay!

- Looks like your Razor Leaf
needs to be sharpened!

- Yeah, this here net's
made outta reinforced steel!

- Weezing use Smokescreen now!

- Weezing!
Weez!

[all coughing]

- Later, losers!

- Not bad for a dishonest day's
work.

- Not only one rare Pokémon,
but two!

- One is fun,
but two'S twice as nice!

- Double your fun!

Ah!

- [grumbles]

- [jabbers]

- Lar!

Vitar!

- You let them get away!

- And that was
a hard-earned catch!

- Lar!

- [grumbles]

- Lar.
- [grumbling]

- Lar?
Lar.

Lar.

- I hope that Larvitar's
not too scared.

- Just when it's starting
to get used to us,

Team Rocket shows up.

- I know.

Now I'll bet it's gonna be
just as shy and afraid

as when it first hatched.

- Pikachu.

- Togepi.

- Huh?
- What's that?

- Bay!

- Mega!

- Bay!

- Mega, mega!

- What Pokémon is this?

- It's a Meganium.

- Meganium?

- Meganium, the Herb Pokémon.

Meganium has the ability to
fully restore dried-up plants

and bring them back to life
with its breath.

- Wow!

I've never seen one before!

- I didn't know
they were so big.

- Pika!

- Meganium, there you are!

- Huh?
- Pika?

- Now where's Elekid?
Ah!

- Casey!

- Well if it isn't Ash, Misty
and Brock!

How are you guys?

- We're doing fine, Casey.

Say, is this your Meganium?

- Uh huh.

After it evolved from a Bayleef,

my Meganium has become
my best batter

and the pride of my whole team.

- That's so cool!
- Togepi!

- So Ash, what's up now
with your Bayleef?

- Uh oh. Hasn't evolved.

Sorry, Ash.

- It's fine!

I'm glad that Bayleef
didn't evolve yet!

- Bay!

- Well, that may be
fine for you,

but Meganium are just the best!

- Talk about speed!

Meganium scores an inside
the park home run lickity-split!

Your Bayleef is really
better suited for the minors.

The triple A league.

- Well, I think Bayleef's
a major leaguer.

- Bay!

- But the really big news is,

I finally found an Elekid
to catch!

- An Elekid?

- I've dreamed
of having this Pokémon

with those stripes,

those great yellow
and black stripes!

- I know that together Elekid
and I can cheer the Electabuzz

all the way to winning
the pennant!

Yahoo!

- Still a die-hard Electabuzz
fan, aren't you?

- You bet your ponytail on it!

They're going all the way
this year!

They've got the best hitting
and pitching!

- That would do it.

- But somewhere along the way,

I lost track of that Elekid.

- We saw an Elekid.

- Get outta town!
Where, Ash?

- A ways back.
It just popped out!

- Yeah, go on.

- Then Team Rocket showed up
and stole it.

- [gasps]
Not them again.

I can't stand Team Rocket!

When I catch up to those crooks,

it's gonna be three strikes,
and you're out!

- Mega!

- Lar!

- [grumbling]

[grumbles]

- Lar! Larvitar!

[zapping]

- [grumbling]

- Lar.

Lar!

- [grumbling]

- Lar!

- [grumbles]

- Well, they couldn't have
gotten too far away.

- We gotta get those sparkplugs
back and present 'em to da Boss!

- I wonder.

Will the Boss like them?

- Of course!

- 'Dat Elekid's gonna be
a regular part

of the Boss's morning routine,

like runnin' his electric razor,
for instance,

And he's gonna say,

"It's the best shave
I ever had!"

Then he'll use his hairdryer
and get a perfect blow dry.

- He couldjust plug them in.

- But this way is cheapaer!

- And Larvitar?

- The boss is always sayin'
that he can't find

any good help these days.

But wit' Larvitar bein' the
help, those days'll be done!

And when he sees the look
of sincere servitude

in Larvitar's honest eyes,
he'll say,

"Larvitar, you are an oasis
in a sea of losers."

- You think so?

- Now stop dreaming about it
and actually do it!

all: Huh?

- See?

Once you put your mind
to something.

- Righ!

Those two are in the bag!

- Lar!

- Ha!
Got you!

- It's even more fun
the second time around!

- [grumbling]

- Don't waste your volts!

Your electronics ain't gonna
help ya none in that net!

- Larvitar.

Lar!

- That screechin' is disgusting!

- What is that?

- Screeching!

- Well, we found Larvitar!

- There's my Elekid!

- Larvitar!

- Lar?

- Right!

Meganium, Razor Leaf, go!

- Mega!

- [yells]!

- James, what is the deal
with Razor Leaf

cutting through this net?

You told me that it was made
with a special kind of steel!

- But that steel was vulnerable
to Elekid's electrical attacks

so I swapped it out
for a substitute!

- Why me?

- So it's one step forwoid and
ten steps back.

- Foretress, Rapid Spin!

- Foretress!

[yelling]

- Team Rocket's
blasting off again!

- Hurry!

It looked like the net
fell right around here!

- Right!

[all gasp]

- The net's here.

- But Larvitar and Elekid
are gone!

- They must have fallen out

when the net got caught
on this cliff!

- Let's go find 'em, quick!

- [grumbling]

- Lar.

Lar!

[all shrieking]

- Eh?

Oh!

[all yelling]

- Magikarp.

- Watch where you're landing!

- Our mistake.

- But at least
you all have great timing!

- Yup, this is your lucky day!

My discerning young threesome,

have you ever seen a more
magnificent Magikarp?

Hmmm?

- Heavens, no!

Looks to me like Water Pokémon
perfection!

- So you want it?

- WAIT.

- I remember
those beady little eyes.

- Just between me and you,

this Magikarp is like
a Pokémon gold mine!

- Gold mine?
- Right.

A Magikarp lays , eggs
at a time.

Each of those lay...
- You!

You're that lame excuse
for a Poké-peddler!

- Uh...

Have a nice day!
Bye!

- Wait!

- I want a REFUND!

- Don't make me laugh.

- What?

- Company policy clearly states
that a full refund

is given only with the return
of the merchandise!

- Say, James, what did you do
with that Magikarp?

- Let me see.

You good for nothing carp!

I don't want to be
your master!

Good riddance!

- Magikarp!
Magikarp!

- Oh, that's right!

You gave that thing
the royal boot!

- No Poké, no money!

- Listen, you scalawag,

I want my money,
and I want it now!

- Perhaps a substitute?

- What's that?

- This is a Weepinbell.

It's not just ANY Weepinbell,

but a wonderfully scented one!

Just one whimsical whiff
of this aromatic beauty,

and every wild Pokémon
from miles around

will be drawn to you in droves!

- Sweet smell of success!

- Hold on!

You don't believe this old coot,
do you?

- I got a feelin'
he's on the level.

- As level as level can be,
my young and handsome friends.

How about trading Pokémon?

both: Yup, you're on!

- So which of of our Pokémon
do you think should we trade

to the old codger?

- How 'bout you?
- You can't trade me!

I'm the brains of
this whole outfit!

- Then how about Weezing?

- What, and simply throw away
all of the clean getaways

that we've managed using
my dear Weezing's Smokescreen?

- I vote Wobbuffet!

- No, Wobbuffet may be
a part-time pain,

but those counter attacks
have been a help.

- Wobbuffet!

- Then perhaps Arbok?

- I'll have you know that
I've been training with Arbok

since it was
an innocent little Ekans!

- That's a no?

- There's just one left.

- The winner is Victreebel!

- Wobbuffet!

- [shrieks]

- Every time you call
on that thing to battle,

Victreebel would rather
make you its lunch!

- But, Jess, I've got a certain
fondness for that maneater.

And while it is true that
during our morning feedings,

it does try to eat me
every time.

Still,

I share some wonderful memories
with poor Victreebel.

- We have no choice but to vote.

All in favor of Victreebel,
say "aye."

both: Aye!
Three to one so you lose!

- Wobbuffet!

- [cries]

- Sweet Victreebel.

- Here's your Victreebel.

- And here's your Weepinbell.

[beeping]

- There!

A done deal.

- All right!

- Of course you realize,
no trade backs.

Bye!

- Wait!

- Victreebel.

- My Victreebel!

- Who's that Pokémon?

It's Hypno!

- Hypno!

- Victreebel,
I miss you so!

- Oh, get a grip!

It's time to put
the ugly past behind you!

- Buck up, Jim!

- Anyway, let's check out
our Weepinbell!

- Come out, Weepinbell.

- Weepinbell!

[cooing]

- Check out 'dose peepers!

- Weepinbell!

- Those eyes are so much like
Victreebel's once were.

Jeepers!

Where did you get those eyes?

- Weepinbell.

- Now, time to make my move!

- Weez!
Weezing!

- Weezing helped me
to catch that Weepinbell,

and then off
to the breeding center!

[yelps]

In three shakes
of a Dewgong's tail,

Weepinbell had evolved
into a Victreebel

and we two were inseparable.

- Night and day,
good times and bad,

feast or famine, we were a team.

- [shrieks]

- Eat your own food!

But now those glorious days
are long gone.

[whimpering]

- Stop your blubbering
and check out the Sweet Scent.

- Yeah, let's see just how sweet
that scent really smells!

- All right, Weepinbell,
use Sweet Scent.

- Bell!

- Sweet!

- Lovely!

But I'm sure this Weepinbell
could eke out a little more?

Excuse me, James!

We could use some
of your help here!

- [whimpering]

- Give it the gas, Gus!

- [sighs]

- Lar?

- [grumbling]

- Mega.

- Meganium, where're you going?

- Pika!

- Pikachu?

- Toge! Toge! Toge! Toge!

- Togepi, what is it?

- Some Pokémon
is giving off Sweet Scent!

- That's what's up
with Meganium!

- If Larvitar and Elekid
are anywhere around here,

I bet they're going to be drawn
to that Sweet Scent too!

- You're right.

Let's go check it out!

- Come out, come out,
wherever you are,

sweet Elekid and Larvitar!

- Ah!

- Right on cue!

- Come to Team Rocket!

Look at that!

Some twerpy stragglers in tow.

- Hey Casey,
there's Larvitar and Elekid!

- Come on, let's hurry up!

- That Sweet Scent was coming
from that Weepinbell!

- Lar!
- Larvitar!

- Elekid!

- Ka?
- Mega!

- Hold on!
- We'll save you!

[yelling]

both: It worked!

- [sobs]

- Up we go!

- Sorry things fell through.

- For you!

- Oh, no, you don't!

- Meganium use Vine Whip now!

- Mega.

Mega!

- Not so fast!

- Huh?

- You're through!

- Give back those Pokémon!

- You've got to be kidding.

- Go, Arbok!

- Arbok!

- Meganium, you're up now!

- Mega!

- James, why ain't ya battlin'!

- Go.
Now.

- Weepinbell!

- Not me, Victreebel!!

- That ain't Victreebel.

- Huh?
You're right.

Old habits die hard.

- Phanpy, I choose you!

- Phanpy! Phan!

- Meganium,
use Razor Leaf attack!

- Mega!

- Dodge it, Arbok,
and use Headbutt!

- Arbok!

Arbok!
- Mega!

- Oh, no, Meganium!

- Now, Phanpy, use Tackle!

- Phanpy!

- Bell!

- You can do it!

Weepinbell, Razor Leaf!

- Weepinbell!

- Phanpy, now send it flying!

- That's the way to do it!

- Pikapika!

- Phanpy, use Rollout attack!

- Phanpy! Phan!

- Bell!

- Don't you take that,
Weepinbell!

Use Vine Whip!

- Weepinbell!

- Phanpy!

- Oh, no, Phanpy!

- Bell!

- Brilliantm Weepinbell!

- That thing's even better
than a Victreebel!

- Huh?

- Don't tell me.

[all gasp]

- It's evolving!

- [shrieks]

- I'll be!
- Look at that!

- We've got a Victreebel again.

- [shrieks]

- Huh?

[yelling]

- Lar.

- Look, Brock, the net!

- Foretress, go!
Rapid Spin!

- Foretress!

- Larvitar, Elekid,
are you two all right?

- Larvitar!
- [grumbles]

[yelling]

- No, open up!
- Release her this instant!

- Well this is somethin'
different.

- Larv!

- Get me out!

That's it!

Either Victreebel goes,
or I go!

- What?

- Arbok, get Victreebel
out of my sight now!

- Arbok!

- [shrieks]

- Oh, no!

- Not you too!

- And now it's time
to turn our attention

back to Larvitar and Elekid.

Arbok, go get them!

- Arbok!

- Meganium, Razor Leaf!

- Mega!

[yelling]

- Finish it up with Solar Beam!

- Mega!

[expl*si*n]

- That plan sure stunk!

- But it started out smellin'
so good with that Sweet Scent!

- Don't remind me!

all: Looks like Team Rocket's
blasting off again!

- What are you doing?

This was a terrible trade.

Stop!

You are out of here now!

- [shrieks]

- [shrieks]

[shrieking]

- [grumbling]
- Lar!

- It looks like
Elekid was protecting Larvitar

the whole time!

- That's great, Elekid.
Thanks!

- Now are you ready
to get caught?

- [grumbles]

- Go, Meganium!

- Mega!

- [grumbles]

- Dodge it and use
Razor Leaf now!

- Mega!

Mega!

- [grumbling]

- Wow, that's a powerful
Thunderpunch!

- Lar!

- You've sure got
some silky smooth moves, Elekid.

- Meganium, use Tackle attack!

- Mega!

- [grumbles]

- Now, Meganium!

Show him your secret
Solar Beam Pitch!

- Mega!

- [grumbling]

- Home run!

- Now, go, Pokéball!

Yes!

It's a grand slam!

I just caught an Elekid!

- Mega!

- Lar!

- What's that?

Don't worry Larvitar,
Elekid's fine!

Now that I have Meganium
and Elekid batting on my team,

we'll for sure be goin'
all the way to the series

and probably win!

- Megamega!

- Lar!

- [singing]
I'm on a Master Quest

- Pokémon

- [singing]
I'm on a Master Quest

- Pokémon

- That's great.
You caught an Elekid!

Way to go!

- Thanks, Misty.

I only have four badges so far,

but I'm sure Elekid
is gonna help me get a lot more!

And won't my home team,
the Electabuzz, be so proud?

- Mega!
- [grumbles]

- With that kinda attitude,

you'll have every badge
you want in no time.

- We're rootin' for you.

- Ash, you're on your way
to enter the Johto League

Silver Conference, aren't you?

- Yeah!

- Then allow me the opportunity
to sing this cheer

to show my support for you
in the Conference.

- Uh, you don't have to!

- Here we go!

- [singing]
We all love Electabuzz

No other team's the same

The players charge the field

And electrify the game

They pitch and catch and run
so quick

Their baseball bats
are thunder sticks

Their power hitters
do the trick

Electabuzz,
our favorite pick

We love their yellow color

And their black stripes
are the best

Elect-a-buzz

They're better than the rest!

narrator:
And so with Casey's catchy tune

as a spirited sendoff,

our heroes continue their
journey towards Mount Silver.

[singing]
- There's 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

And I believe

I'm on a Master Quest

Master Quest

I want the whole world to see

And I believe

I'm gonna be the very best

'Cause all I've got to do

Is believe in me
