05x53 - You're a Star, Larvitar!

[bunniefuu]

male narrator:
Ash, Brock, and Misty

continue their journey
to Mount Silver,

where they'll take Larvitar
back to its birthplace.

It's the final stop before
reaching their ultimate goal,

the Johto League
Silver Conference.

- Lar?

Lar!

- Pika!
- Togi!

- What's that?

- The sky!

- That's weird.

- Togepi!

- Huh?

- Oh!
- Pika!

[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

- Oh!

- Togi!

Togi?

Togi! Togi!
Togi! Togi!

Togi?

- Hey, look!

- An Unown!

- Unown,
the Symbol Pokémon.

Unown are said to have existed
since ancient times.

They are many
in form and shape,

but little is known about this
mysterious Pokémon.

- I wonder where they come from.

- Up there?

Hey!

They're gone!

- This Unown feels really hot.

- Maybe it's sick.
- It is.

That Unown's not feeling well,

and now it's upset about being
separated from its friends.

- Hmm...

- Lar...
- Pika?

- Togi!

- Misty, how'd you know

that's what it's feeling?

- Well, when I got hit
on the head,

for that split second,

it was like I could read
Unown's mind.

- Whoa.

- I could feel that Unown
was missing its friends,

and I saw something strange
when I got hit.

- Like what, Misty?

- It's hard to describe,

but it was kind of a fluffy, uh,
hazy, squishy,

uh, mushy, a fuzzy,

wow-wow, kind of...

- She got hit hard.

- Yeah.

- Not true!

What I saw was some kind of
a wonderland.

It was as clear as day.

I'm telling you--

I'm certain I was being shown
the universe

that the Unown
actually come from.

- The world they come from?
Hmm...

- Pika...

- Togi?

- Larvitar.

- I wish we were near
a Pokémon Center.

- A good, long rest for Unown
should help a lot.

- Things should be much better

as soon as that fever breaks.

- Lar!

- Unown!

- Lar!
Larvitar!

- Unown...

- There is a legend

that Unown are able to make

telepathic contact
with humans.

- Tele-what?

- "Telepathic"
means "with the mind."

It could have happened
when Unown hit Misty.

- Wow.

- Pikachu?
- Lar...

- We've just got to help Unown.

- Let's go find
Unown's friends.

- I think that's easier said
than done, Ash.

- How come?

- No one is exactly sure
where Unown come from.

Some scientists think Unown
come from a different dimension!

- No way!

- Can we figure out
how to get there?

- Un?
- Lar?

- [mumbles]

- Pika!

- Unown!
Un!

- Hey, you're awake, Unown!

Now, don't you worry
about anything

'cause we're gonna help you
find out where your friends are,

no matter where you come from.

I promise, okay?

- Pika!

- You shouldn't make promises
you can't keep.

- Don't listen to Misty.

I'll take care of everything!

- Pika-pika!
- [chirps]

- Lar!
Larvitar!

- Unown!
Un!

- Lar!

- Still not feelin' too good,
huh?

You just take it easy.

- Lar...

Lar.
Larvitar.

- Un.

- Lar.

- Larvitar sure cares a lot.

- I know.

Maybe 'cause Larvitar
knows how hard it is

to be separated from family.

- Yeah, you're probably right.

- Aah.
Twerps around the campfire.

- And some unknown Pokémon.

- That's what it's called,
all right.

- What do you mean?

- That unknown Pokémon
down there

is an Unown Pokémon!

- What you're trying
to say is...

- That it's a rare Pokémon!

But if one steals it...

- It becomes...

- A great big bargain!

- And we're bargain hunters.

- Wobbuffet!

[together]
Shh!

- [quietly]
Wobbuffet...

- Lar...Lar!

- What?
What is it?

- [chirps]

- You're better!

- Pika!
- Unown!

[laughter]

- Togepi!

- Unown looks good as new!

- There's nothing like
a good night's sleep!

- Unown!
[chattering]

- Larvitar!

- Pika!

- Unown!

- Lar! Lar!
Lar! Lar!

- Larvitar,
you did a great job

nursing Unown
back to health.

Huh?

- Pikachu.
Pika-pika.

- I guess Larvitar's
still a bit shy.

- Mm, I guess.
Oh, well.

- [chirps]

- Lar...

- Pika...
- Lar!

Lar! Lar!

- Unown!

- Now it looks like Unown

wants to take care
of Larvitar.

- They're really becoming
great buddies.

- Good mornin',
Mount Silver!

- The early bird
catches the worm.

- This is for the birds.

- Snap out of it!

- Gee, it's not that early.

- Rough night, huh?

- Prepare for trouble
in slo-mo.

- Make that a double latte
cup of joe.

- To protect the world
from devastation.

- To unite all peoples
within our nation.

- To denounce the evils
of truth and love.

- To extend our reach
to the stars above.

- Jessie!

- James!

- Team Rocket wakes up

to blast off
at the speed of light!

- Surrender now, face the day,

or prepare to
fight and fight!

- Meowth!
That's right!

- Wobbuffet!

- For breakfast...

- Catch of the day is...

- Aha!

[together]
The rare and wily Unown!

- Larvitar!

Larvitar!

- Pika!

- That's right, Larvitar!

We promised to take Unown
back to its friends,

and we will!

Forget it, Team Rocket!

- Aah, but Team Rocket
never forgets a pretty face!

- So you can forget
about that Unown!

- Ha! No way!

Larvitar, use Hidden Power!

- Lar...

Larvitar!

- No, not that!

- Counter, Wobbuffet!

- Wobbuffet!

[all screaming]

- Pika!

- Unown!

[all gasping]

[together]
Looks like Team Rocket's

blasting off again!

- Wobbuffet!

- Huh?
Uh...

Pikachu?

Larvitar?

Where'd you go?

Hello?

- Hey, Ash!

- Hey, Brock!
Misty!

Pikachu's disappeared!

- Togepi too.

- Where are we?

- I think that
we're in a different dimension.

- Are you sure?
But how?

- Right before Wobbuffet's
Counter attack landed,

Unown's body lit up,

which might have been
a defense mechanism

throwing it
into another universe,

bringing us with it!

- You think this is where
Unown lives?

- Yeah, but it's a lot different
from what I saw before.

[rumbling]

- Whoa!
What's that?

- Hey, look!
Over there!

[both gasping]

- Oh, no!
It can't be!

- No way!

- It is!

[all screaming]

- Pikachu!

- Pikachu...

- You're...humongous!

- This is another dimension,
all right.

- Togi! Togi!

- Huh?

- Togepi!

- Whoa!
Hold on!

Look out, Togepi!

- Pi-pi-pi!

- Togi! Togi! Togi!

- That was close.

- Where's Larvitar?

- I'll bet Larvitar's big
as well.

- Larvitar!
- Larvitar!

- Larvitar!

- Pika!

- Larvitar!

- Pika!

- Where could it have gone?

[all shouting]

- Whoa! Hey!
What's going on?

[cheerful music playing]

Hey, wait.
That song...

- It's the Electabuzz
theme song.

- Is this Elekid's head?

- This keeps getting
more and more weird.

[together]
Huh?

[dramatic music]

- Whoa!
Hot! Hot! Hot!

- Hey!
This fire isn't hot at all.

- Yeah, you're right.

- Huh?

- Magby!

- That's a...

- Magby!

- Magby!

- Is this a Shellder?

- It sure is,
and it's riding

on top
of a Slowking's head.

- Check it out.

We've seen
Elekid and Electabuzz

and Magby and Slowking.

- And all of them are Pokémon

that we've come across
lately.

- What if the Unown
are making contact with us

by tracing our travels

and creating another dimension
from that?

- So this isn't just
any dimension.

- Slowking!

- A Slowking!

- Slow...

[all screaming]

- Togepi!

- Oh...
- Pika?

- Who's that Pokémon?

It's Moltres!

- We're right back
where we started.

- Sure looks that way.

- Togi!
Togi! Togi!

[both gasp]

- Pika...

- An egg.

Whoa!

- What, Ash?
What is it?

- It's me.

I can see myself.

- What?

- Hey, look, guys!

I'm in there too.

- I am too--

but in black-and-white!

- So why am I in color?

- Don't know.

- It's really weird.

- Huh?

The picture froze!

- I know!
This is how Larvitar sees us!

- What's that mean?

- It means we're seeing into
Larvitar's mind.

- Into its mind?

- Think about it.

First Elekid
and the Electabuzz song,

then Magby's flame,

then Slowking
and Shellder,

then us, just as we looked
to Larvitar.

I'm telling you--
I'm sure this dimension

has all come out
of Larvitar's memory.

- Then that means
we must not be

in the Unowns' world
after all,

but instead we seem to be inside
the mind of Larvitar.

- Right.

- Then that's why
we can't find Larvitar.

- Or the Unown.

- Why is that?

- When Wobbuffet
Counter attacked,

Unown's mind must have merged
with Larvitar's,

and now we're witnessing
the result of that merge.

- I guess that makes sense,

but if we're in
Larvitar's mind,

then what's this thing
over here?

Whoa!

- Ash, no!

[all groaning]

- Pika-pi!

[all shouting]

Pika!
- Togi?

- Pika!
- Togepi!

ding!

- Pika!

- Togi-togi!

- Togepi!

You're back to normal.

- Togi!

- Are you okay?

- Pika!

- Togi?
- Huh?

[all shouting]

- Ah!
- Pika!

- Who are you?

- Scared...

[echoing]
So scared!

- You hear that voice?

- Yeah,
and it sounds familiar.

- Pika!

- But who is it?

The voice sounds so afraid!

Now, where did those three
come from?

- This is coming from
Larvitar's mind.

- This must be the moment

when Larvitar was stolen
as an egg,

and they're the th*gs
who stole it!

- Tyranitar!

[howling]

[all gasping]

- What's that?

- Mommy! Mommy!

- Hey, listen!

- [roars]

- Mommy!

- Tyranitar!

- That must be
Larvitar's mother!

- [roaring]

- Oh, no!

- This is awful!

- How could you guys?

- [roaring]

- It looks like
Tyranitar's hurt.

- Now it all makes sense.

[together]
Huh?

- [roaring]

- Mommy!

Mommy!

- It's because of such an awful
separation from its mother

that Larvitar's
been so afraid of us humans

all this time.

- [sighs]
- Pika...

- Mommy?

Mommy!

- Hey, look!
- Huh?

- Larvitar!
- Pika!

- Larvitar!
- Pika!

[all shouting]

- What happened?

- Pika!

- Larvitar!

- That must be
the shape of Larvitar

trapped in a maze
of its painful memories.

- What?

- We're a part
of that thorny maze.

That thorn on the egg

represents Larvitar's
awful memories.

And now we're in
the thick of them.

Larvitar is totally petrified
of the outside world,

with zero trust in humans.

- No wonder,

after the horrible things
it had to go through.

- Larvitar...

- Pikachu...

- [moaning]

- [groans]
Larvitar!

- [moaning]

- Oh!

Oh.
Look at that.

- [moaning]

- All the sadness,

all the hurt...

And you still want
to break free.

And I know you can do it!

- Pika!

- Larvitar, we're gonna help you
get out of there right now!

- Pika!

- Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

- Pikachu!

- Ah!

[shouting]

- Chu!

- [panting]

- Okay?
- Mm-hmm.

- [shouts]

[both yelling]

- Pika!

Chu!

- [whimpering]

- Larvitar!

- Oh!

- Larvitar!

It's so cold.

Larvitar! Larvitar!

[grunting]

Larvitar,
you've got to think about

all the good times
we've had together,

all the happy times
and all the fun!

- And there'll be more fun times
to come.

- Not all humans are bad,
Larvitar!

You've got to give us
a chance!

- Come on!

[grunting]

- Pikachu!

- Huh?

All right,
time to get you out of there.

- Lar!

- Togepi!
- Ah!

- Yeah!
Ha-ha!

- Pika!

- Ah!

- Lar!

- [laughing]

- Lar!

[singing]
- I'm on a Master Quest

- Pokémon

- I'm on a Master Quest

- Pokémon

- We're back.

- Pika...

- It's gone!

- Togepi!

- Because...
Larvitar trusted us?

[all gasping]

[birds chirping]

Hey, check it out,
you guys.

- Back where we started.

- Unown! Unown!

Unown!
[chirping]

- Larvitar!

- You're all right now.

- Larvitar!

- No one's ever gonna hurt you
again.

- Lar!

- And whatever you need,

we'll be right here
for you.

- Oh!

[both gasp]

- Is it gonna Harden again?

- Uh?

Lar!

- So you finally like me.

- Now it seems to understand
our feelings.

- Lar! Lar!
- Togi-togi!

[laughter]

- Unown, without you,

we wouldn't have been able

to understand Larvitar's
feelings or help it out.

Thanks a lot.

- Unown! Unown!

Unown!

- Pika?

- They've come back!

- To take Unown
back to their world.

- Pika!

- Lar!
Lar!

- Unown!

- That was quick.

- Yeah, you know,

I'll bet they're probably
back home already.

- Togepi!

- Pika.

- I hope you can see Unown again
someday.

- Lar!

- [chuckles]

narrator: And so an Unown
with a heart of gold

has helped our heroes
to shake Larvitar free

of its terrifying memories...

- Lar!

narrator:
And the very next stop

will be Larvitar's home!

[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
