Ah, you're so predictable.
Hear at least we switch up the motto sometime.
Fine! Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!
PikachuPikachu! Pika!
[cackling] Our Diglett supreme's a giant ground type, and besides the Thunderbolt didn't unique.
I'll show them. Let's go, Ludicolo!
Could you save the dancing for later, please?
[cackling again] Since our big Diglett supreme is a ground type, it's weak against water attack!
Meowth, wrong answer! Aah!
[thudding]
[At the noodle restaurant, Master Hamm has made some bowls of noodles for his son Kyle, and Ash and his friends]
AMAsh, Max, May & Brock
Thank you, Master Hamm. [They taste their noodles]
This is just the flavour I remember.
Of course it is, son, I'm not about to let a whippersnapper beat me at my own noodle game. [Chuckles]
[Soon, Ash and his friends have left the restaurant with Kyle and his father waving goodbye]
So, Ash and friends, having finally gotten their fill of delicious noodles, head out of Saffron City, and make their way toward their next goal, the Battle Arena.
Pikachu, are you ready to go win our next Frontier Symbol? Ha.
Pikachu
Pi, Pikachu.
[One moonlit night, Ash and his friends have gotten lost in a forest]
Oh, man. We're stuck now.
And now that the sun's gone down, it's getting pretty cold, too.
Yeah, and I don't see the Pokémon Centre on the PokéNav.
Those clouds are looking mean. We'd better find some shelter and fast before the storm's on top of us.
Huh? [Sees the clouds which are covering up the moon]
As Ash continues his quest to become master of the Battle Frontier, it seems our heroes have come across a proverbial bump in the road.
Pikachu
Pika.
Wha? Hey, what's up, Pikachu?
Pikachu
Pika, Pika. [Goes running off]
Wait! Pikachu, come back here! Where are you goin'?
[The title card comes up]
[voiceover] Fear Factor Phony!
Pikachu
[voiceover] Pika!
[Soon, Ash and his friends have found a ghost town]
Whoa, what a weird place to put a town.
Well, whoever put it here must agree with you 'cause they all got up and left.
Wow, look! It's a ghost town.
[gasps] You're saying ghosts live here?
Not quite. It's called a ghost town 'cause no one's living in it anymore. Get it, May?
Oh, of course I knew that, Max.
[The camera pans down on May, Ash, Max, and Brock as they walk through the Kanto countryside]
Our heroes can barely contain their excitement and happy anticipation as they prepare to enter Brock's beloved hometown of Pewter City.
[to Brock] That Onix you were telling us about that you raised is still here, right?
Right, along with Crobat and Geodude.
And we get to see a Ludicolo too.
Pikachu
Pika, Pika.
Your mom must be a really good cook just like you, huh, Brock?
You know, she's more of a get-out-and-see-the-world type, and not into that domestic thing. I can't remember the last time I had any of her cooking.
So why do you think it turned out to be such a super good chef?
Well, guess everybody's got to eat.
[Soon, they reach the gym in Pewter City which dramatically changed]
Your Pewter Gym is sure flashy.
It sure wasn't like this last time we were here, right, Brock?
[Final lines of the Advanced Generation series. The ferry to the Sinnoh region is travelling across the sea and aboard it are Ash and Pikachu]
The Sinnoh region. Are you ready, buddy?
Pikachu
Pika, Pika.
[Then, a gust of wind blows Ash's hat off of his head]
Pikachu
Pika?
[The hat is grabbed...]
[...by Aipom]
Hey, Aipom. You followed us all of this way?
Huh, Well, what do you know? So welcome aboard.
[As Aipom runs to join Ash and Pikachu, little does she know that Team Rocket are clinging on to the side of the ferry]
That twerp's gonna be toast.
As well as one Pikachu short.
This time, we're really makin'...
[A wave soaks Team Rocket. Meanwhile, Ash holds onto a railing after putting his hat back on]
Awesome! All right, Sinnoh Island, look out! You'd better get ready for us!
Pikachu
Pika, Pika!
And so, true to form, our hero fearlessly sets out on a new Pokémon adventure, but as Gary promised, what kinds of Pokémon await him in the Sinnoh region, and for that matter, what kinds of battles? This new chapter of Ash's journey to become a Pokémon Master is just beginning, so stay tuned.
[As the ship sails into the distance, the text reading NEXT TIME... A NEW BEGINNING! appears]
[At Professor Rowan's laboratory, Ash and Pikachu are admiring Ash's package from his mother, Delia]
Wow. [The camera cuts to him inside the lab and checking out his new clothes] Check out the new clothes.
Pikachu
Pika.
She even put a new backpack in there, too.
[The camera cuts to Ash's house in Pallet Town]
[from inside the house] I'm thrilled! Such a handsome young man.
[We can see that Delia is communicating with Ash, now in his red and black cap is newer, a darker bluish-gray vest with a snazzy looking point collar and a distinct golden yellow horizontal stripe across the chest, via flatscreen phone]
That's really nice of you, Mom.
I wanted to give them to you while you were here, but you flew out of the house in such a rush.
Sorry about that, Mom. But everything's going just great here in the Sinnoh region, and I can't tell you how psyched I am.
I can see that! You did call Professor Oak and tell him Pikachu's safe, right?
[Soon, Professor Oak is communicating with Ash from his lab]
I appreciate you letting me know the good news, young man.
And this is Dawn. She saved Pikachu. [to Dawn] And this is Professor Oak.
It's a real honour to meet you, sir.
Well, it's a pleasure to to meet you, a brand new trainer.
Right. I hope you don't mind... You love Pokémon poetry, don't you?
Awesome! Does that mean you know all the Pokémon poets?
You don't get it. He's a real professor, just like Professor Rowan.
But how come I always see him on TV reading poems?
[walks in] Say, perhaps the good professor and I should have a little discussion
Well, well, professor! Say, Ash, may I speak with him for a moment?
Sure. [He walks away with Dawn and Brock as Professor Rowan starts conferring with Professor Oak]
Perhaps you could spend a little less time reading Pokémon poetry on TV and more time doing your Pokémon research, eh, Samuel?
Those two must go way back.
So, what are you two doing here, anyway?
Well, I came here so I could compete in the Sinnoh League and win.
[Brock takes out a guidebook from inside his orange vest]
Okay, it looks like the closest gym to Sandgem Town is in Oreburgh City. Jubilife City's right on the way.
That's awesome! Can I go too?
I want to be the number one contest coordinator, and the first contest I want to compete in is in Jubilife City.
That's great! Come along. When it comes to travelling, the more the merrier, I say.
Pikachu
Pikachu.
Brock, what do you think?
Of course. It'd be a lot of fun.
[Aipom, Piplup and Starly join Ash, Dawn and Brock]
It looks like everybody agrees.
And I'll get to spend some more time with Pikachu.
Pikachu
Pika, Pika!
[It is the dawn of a new day somewhere in the Sinnoh region and the sun is rising]
It was to be a fateful day for Dawn, and a certain Pokémon named Buneary, as our heroes continue toward Jubilife City.
[Ash is waking up in his sleeping bag]
Pikachu
Pika?
[Some Starly fly past, and Ash runs over to Dawn's tent]
Don't you dare come in here! My hair's a complete mess, and nobody sees it!
Dawn, don't sweat it. C'mon, that's what hats are for.
Pikachu
Pika, Pika.
Well, isn't that a typical male response! Ash, unlike your who-cares-how-I-look world, I take pride in my appearance, get it?
But it's just not worth it to get nuts about hair!
Pikachu
Pika? [What's with Croagunk?]
[The camera pans left for Brock who is cooking some breakfast with Croagunk beside him]
See, you're witnessing a typical morning for this crazy family, but you'll get used to it!
Croag. Croag. Croag. [I suppose so.]
Pikachu
Pika! [Oh, yes!] Pikachu! [Let's do this!]
[starts behaving oddly by blushing and covering her face with her fluff] Buneary...Buneary...Buneary! [Oh, my! Oh, please, why do you want to fight me? Why?!]
Pikachu
Pika? [What's wrong?]
Buneary's acting completely different when battling Piplup before. I wonder...
[stops covering her face and notices Pikachu] Buneary? [Huh?] [covers her face again with her fluff] Bunearyyyyyy! [Noooooo!]
I had a feeling before this was going on. Buneary has got a crush on Pikachu! [Bonsly and Aipom agree with Dawn]
Oh man, how do we battle with this going on?
[walks up to Pikachu still covering her face with her fluff] Buneary...Bun, Buneary. [I can do this. Come on Buneary...] [sees Pikachu and covers her face again!] Bunearyyyyy! [I can't do it!]
[at the beginning of the episode...]
That you want me to watch you lose.
[Dawn and Pikachu break up the fight]
Pikachu
[at the same time] Pika, Pika!
[to Paul] You already battled Ash once. [Different Strokes for Different Blokes]. Why not stay and watch?
[glares at her blankly] Hmph.
'What's wrong'? Who are you?
[the background changes to a volcano erupting with an angry Dawn]
Excuse me, your rudeness, but we've met once before! The name's Dawn!
[the background changes to the sun splitting into quarters with Dawn very angry, turning bright red and having huge glowing red eyes]
YOU THINK YOU'RE FUNNY, DON'T YA?!
[runs in and restrains Dawn, preventing her from attacking Paul] Alright, come on, Dawn! Calm down!
[at the same time] Listen, mister! You nasty, insulting, spoiled brat! Apologize!
