[Ash summons his Palpitoad into battle against Burgundy's Stoutland]
Oh, did you do a Pokemon exchange? Whatever, your Pokemon has an unpleasant and muddy aroma.
I didn't exchange a thing! I caught a Palpitoad, get it? This is our first battle together. I thought it as a good chance to see if we work together as a team.
Georgia! Pawniard was amazing! You were too!
Listen up, the only reason you won was because the field was bad. So thank the field, not me.
[Ash, Iris and Cilan's Pokémon are on the roof of the runaway subway car when Pansage and Pikachu start attacking the Team Rocket chopper's hooks]
Pansage! [Uses Bullet Seed on one of the chopper's hooks]
Pikachu! [Uses Thunderbolt on the other hook]
[Inside the cab of the first subway car, Team Rocket are watching what is happening]
What a waste of energy.
They just don't know when to quit, do they?
[Meowth checks the monitor and sees a dot on the left catching up with the one on the right]
Huh? What's that? [Sees Ash, Iris, Cilan, Ingo and Emmet on the crew car which is being powered by Emmet's Eelektross] The twerps!
[outraged] Ugh! Oh, great. [The camera cuts to the chopper's hooks which are about to capture our heroes' Pokémon as Pikachu and Pansage try to destroy them] Dr Zager, twerps!
[off camera] Secure that car, quickly!
Quiet! This delicate operation requires finesse.
[On the roof of the second car, Snivy has begun attacking one of the chopper's hooks using Vine Whip. Then, she, Excadrill, Axew and Roggenrola see Ash and his friends with Ingo and Emmet aboard the crew car]
Hang on, guys, we're here!
[Dwebble, Pansage, Snivy, Roggenrola, Excadrill, Pikachu, Tepig and Axew are delighted to see their Trainers again, but the chopper's hooks are grabbing hold of the car. The camera then cuts to Cilan, Ash, Iris, Ingo and Emmet on the crew car]
They'll be captured!
We've got to do something fast!
[to Ingo and Emmet] I'm going to get on that train.
But, Ash, that's too dangerous.
You could be hurt.
They've tried so hard, I've got to try and do something!
All of our Pokémon are depending on us!
And I'm going too!
But, wait...!
Ingo, I completely understand what these kids are feeling. We're dedicated to protect the subway system, they're dedicated to protect their Pokémon, it's the same thing.
I know exactly what you mean. And I think my partner will be able to help as well. Chandelure, all aboard! [Sends out Chandelure]
Chandelure.
Ingo, the lustre your Chandelure produces is simply beautiful!
[Ash scans Chandelure with his Pokédex]
Chandelure - the Luring Pokémon and the evolved form of Lampent. Chandelure uses its dancing flames to hypnotise opponents.
Chandelure, use Psychic! Get everyone on the other subway car!
Chandelure! [Uses Psychic on Cilan, Ash and Iris]
Whoa!
And with such a warm, gentle glow!
Full speed ahead! [Points to the car on the other side of the railway tracks]]
[Chandelure uses Psychic to transfer Cilan, Ash and Iris to the car that their Pokémon are standing on]
Everybody all right?
Pika-pi! [Jumps into Ash's arms]
I'm sorry we took so long.
Pikachu!
[Iris picks up Axew and hugs him]
Wow, you're okay!
Axew!
[Ash and his friends have happily reunited with their Pokémon]
Everyone's all right. Great!
[reading note near the Gym entrance] I regret I'll be away for the fashion show.
I was just reading something about that. [flips through her magazine] Here it is, it's close by! Awww...let's go! It's a chance to see Elesa in her very own fashion show! Wow! [dashes off to the fashion show]
Well, what about you?
Well, without a Gym Leader, I guess I'm stuck.
I know! Why don't we go too? Learning about a Gym Leader before you battle might be good thing.
Yeah, you're right!
[As Elesa is showing off her new outfits on the runway...]
Awesome...
Yeah...
Pikachu! [Indeed]
[At this point, Elesa turns her attention to Ash and pals.]
Huh? I'm tingling all over! [She leaps off the runway and meets the heroes face to face.]
Whoa!
A Pikachu! Never seen one up close! Wow, you shine like the sun! Is this your Pikachu?
Since Ash lost, does that mean he has to go back to Pallet Town?
IRIS, STOP!!
[Ash's Palpitoad loses against Elesa's Emolga]
[horrified] You can't be serious! I was going to win every battle with you! [sadly recalls Palpitoad]
[baffled] Ash's strategy was just Palpitoad?
Well, if I have to guess, yes.
Attract, won't you? [Her Emolga complies]
Snivy, counter with Attract! [His Snivy also does so...wait a second...]
An Attract Battle?!
Isn't Snivy a girl?!
[Both Snivy and Emolga's Attract cancel each other out as they are both females!]
Attract didn't work!
[surprised] You're right! By any chance, does your Snivy happen to be a female?
[looking completely embarrassed] Argh, of course! I totally forgot!!
[Cut to Iris, Cilan, Pikachu and Axew with disbelieving expressions and face-fault.]
Iris [eyebrow twitching]: How many times will it take for Ash to learn that Attract doesn't work between girls!?
Good question, although this is Ash after all!
[Pikachu and Axew sitting with their backs against each other, sweatdropping]
Pika-Pikachu... [My trainer is an idiot!]
Axew...[Agreed...]
[It gets worse...]
So who cares? Electric-type moves aren't very effective on Grass type Pokemon anyway.
Elesa [smiling indulgently]: I think you've forgotten something, Ash.
Huh?
Emolga may be an Electric-type, but remember it's a Flying-type as well.
That's right! Flying-type moves are super effective against Grass-types...[freaks out immediately] OH MAN, SNIVY'S A GRASS-TYPE POKÉMON!! [Really Ash? How can you screw up this BAD?!]
Hi! I'm Ash Ketchum. Will you have a battle with me?
HEY, COOL YOUR JETS! ALDER'S BATTLING ME FIRST!
IT'S FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED!
WHAT?!
[Ash and Trip struggle on who will battle Alder first]
The price of things. Now, just relax. I'll battle both of you!
[One day, some Pidove are flying in the sky as the camera pans down on a Pokémon Centre]
En route to Ash's next gym battle challenge in Driftveil City, our heroes have stopped at a Pokémon Centre for a bit of rest.
[Inside the Pokémon Centre, Ash is petting Pikachu]
Pika! [Squeals contentedly] Pikachuuu.
Pikachu loves that.
Axew!
True. It's a pleasure to witness a perfect match between Trainer and Pokémon.
Okay. [Touches the zip on his backpack]
Pika! Pika-ee, pika-oo.
Huh? You want more? Okay, buddy. You asked for it. [He laughs as he tickles Pikachu on the head]
Pika!
How's that? Gotcha! Gotcha! Gotcha!
[pointing to Pikachu] Check that out.
Uh. [Sees Robert] Huh?
[A photographer named Robert has arrived]
Tell me, is that your Pokémon?
Yeah.
Can I take a picture?
Yeah, sure.
Great, thanks. [Takes some photographs of Pikachu with his camera] Perfect. Amazing. It's a real Pikachu.
Huh?
Priceless. [The camera cuts to Ash and then pans down to Pikachu] Uh... Awesome.
Pika?
There. The perfect shot. [Takes another photo of Pikachu]
My name is Ash.
And I'm Iris.
And my name's Cilan.
My name's Katharine. Gothita and I are travelling together on a Gym Battle journey.
Goth? Goth! [Really? Oh, right!] [runs around behind Katharine and pulls out her Unova Gym Badge case from her bag.] Gothita! [Behold our progress!] [The two badges shown are the Basic Badge and the Insect Badge. Katharine must have defeated Lenora and Burgh off-camera.]
You've got two Gym Badges! Cool!
That's great!
Thanks alot. Are you on a journey for Gym Badges too?
I sure am!
So, how many do you have?
[whips out his badge case and shows off his four Gym Badges] See, I've got four of them.
Awesome! That's two more than I have.
Hey Katharine, are you on your way to Nimbasa City?
Yeah, Gothita is a huge fan of Elesa.
She's incredible.
You've met her? [Are you serious?! Did you not see Ash's Bolt Badge?!]
I challenged Elesa at the Nimbasa Gym and won the Bolt Badge from her.
I'm jealous.
[Gothita uses her Psychic to summon Katharine]
What is it, Gothita?
Goth-Gothita! [I want Scraggy on our team!] [Katharine is still confused, so Gothita impersonates Scraggy]
Do you like Scraggy?
Gothita! [That's right!]
What do you want?
Goth-goth! [We should trade one of our members for Scraggy.]
Do you mean you want to trade one of my other Pokémon?
Gothita! [You got it!]
[Both Katharine and Gothita go to Ash]
Excuse me, Ash? It looks like Gothita has taken a real liking to your Scraggy. [Ash gets confused] It's true. So, would you be willing to trade Scraggy for one of my Pokémon? [Here, we go again...]
Gothita! [Please say yes!]
A trade? [Everyone else is shocked minus Scraggy who is busy eating.]
Come out, gang! [summons her Mandibuzz, Darumaka, and Deerling.] You can have your pick from any one of these wonderful Pokémon.
Gothita! [Choose wisely!]
So, who will it be?
I'm not making any trade. I wanna raise the Pokémon I already have and help them get stronger.
Course he does!
Now what do we do? We've been turned down.
Goth! Goth! Gothita! [We fight for Scraggy and it will be ours should we win!]
Oh, you mean you want to have a Pokémon battle with them and if we win, they'll trade. [to Ash] Come on, Ash, please? Gothita can be so stubborn once it makes its mind up, so if we battle and I win, will you trade with me, please?
I told you, no! Besides, Scraggy doesn't have that much battle experience. [And you wonder why he failed to become a Scrafty.]
You don't have to use Scraggy. As far as I'm concerned, you can choose any Pokémon you want.
Uhhh...no thanks, I'll pass on that. [Gothita gets annoyed. One glare is enough to have Katharine act rude towards Ash]
I see. I guess that means you don't think you can beat me.
WHAT?! That's not it!
Say what you want, you're just afraid of losing.
Yeah, you're wrong!
And you call yourself a Pokémon trainer, do you? Turning down an innocent Pokémon battle challenge. Pathetic, isn't it, Gothita? [Gothita agrees. Don't try to imitate Paul, Katharine.] You know what? I bet your badges are all fakes and you made them yourself, didn't you, Ash? It's okay, you can admit it.
I did not! I earned each and every one of them with my Pokémon battling hard!
In that case, why don't you relax and accept my battle challenge? After all, you've got four whole badges! [And yet, you have two!]
Alright then! I'll battle with you!
[With Mandibuzz defeated...]
Mandibuzz is unable to battle! Tepig wins and the match goes to Ash!
Tepig, you did it!
Tep. [No big deal.]
Oh no, we lost!
Goth Goth Gothita Goth! [This is your fault for making Mandibuzz lose!]
