Scenes with Pikachu 205
[Ash and the Pokémon are gathered in the sewer together]
Okay, I'm going to explain the plan I came up with, so I want everyone to listen carefully, okay? [The Pokémon respond and a fantasy involving the Spheal using Ice Beam to freeze the sewer's canal] First, the Spheal will use their Ice Beam and the freeze the canal... [We see an ice slide between the high level and low level of the canal] ...all the way up to the top!
PikachuPika! Pikachu!
We're going to make a big slide. [A fantasy of Wailmer riding a sledge appears] Next, we'll make a sledge using the furniture we borrowed from the Teddiursa.
Pikachu
Pika! Pikachu!
[Then, we see wailmer riding on the sledge with Buizel and the Spheal pushing hard]
Then, Buizel and the Spheal will push the sledge with all their might while Wailmer's riding on top!
[The sledge starts sliding on the ice]
And once the sledge really gets moving, it's Pikachu and Luxio's turn!
Pikachu
Pika, Pika!
[Pikachu and Luxio are seen using Iron Tail on the sledge]
You two will unleash a couple of powerful Iron Tails on the sledge so it really starts moving. [We see the sledge going up the ice slide at high speed] And then the sledge will have enough speed to shoot up the ice slide - right along with Wailmer. [We see Wailmer at the top of the high level] And then Wailmer will reach the top! So are we good, everybody? [The scene goes back to the present] Cool! So let's do this!
[Ash's plan goes smoothly as he and Pikachu help the Teddiursa build the sledge. Next, the Spheal use their Ice Beam attacks to freeze the canal, all the way up to the high level]
Nice! Now that's one frozen ice slide!
[The Rattata and Nidoran eat up the ice to make the ice slide smoother for Wailmer to ride on, while the Zubat bring up the sledge and dump it in the water. Soon, the ice slide is ready for Wailmer to ride on]
We're all ready to roll. So, onto the last step!
Pikachu
Pika! [He and two of the Teddiursa go off camera]
[Wailmer gets aboard the sledge and gives Ash the signal. Then Ash turns to Pikachu and Luxio]
All right, Pikachu and Luxio, you two ready?
Pikachu
Pika!
Okay, Buizel and Spheal, push Wailmer as hard as you can! [Buizel and two of the Spheal start pushing the sledge as hard as they can] All right. Now keep it up just like that, but give it more power!
[Buizel and the Spheal speed up the sledge which ten goes onto the ice slide]
Pikachu and Luxio, Iron Tail! [Pikachu and Luxio use Iron Tail on the sledge together] Yes!
Pikachu
Pika!
[But then, the ice slide starts to break]
[Wailmer goes flying off the sledge and panics as it reaches the higher level]
VVenonat
Veno! Veno! Venonat! Veno! Venonat! [Luxio nods and it and Venonat help Wailmer reach the higher level, with Luxio using Iron Tail and Venonat butting its body into Wailmer's rear. Wailmer successfully reaches the high level and waves to Ash and the Pokémon who helped. The Pokémon start cheering]
Yeah! I knew it would work! You did it! Yeah!
[The title card comes up]
[voiceover] Stopped in the Name of Love!
[The camera gives us a panoramic view of Sandalstraw Town as it pans left and then fades to the local Pokémon Centre]
As Dawn excitedly prepares for her newly discovered upcoming Pokémon contest in Sandalstraw Town, our heroes find shelter at a quaint nearby Pokémon Centre...
All right, everybody - come on out! [Her Pokémon, minus Piplup, come out of their Poké Balls] We're closing in on our fifth ribbon so let's train like there's no tomorrow!
[Dawn's Pokémon cheer but then, Piplup tries to fly but falls on the ground]
Hey, are you feeling all right?
Pikachu
Pika?
Pip. [Shakes his head] Pip-lup. [Stands up but goes out of control] Pipee-lupee...ee! Piplup! [Sits on the ground again]
You've been acting strange lately. Are you certain you're all right?
Aargh! Look out, look out, look out, look out! [Runs into Ash whose hat goes flying into the sky]
Oof! [Lands on the ground]
[Ash's hat lands on his head]
What do you think you're doing? I'm gonna make you pay a fine for that. [Sees Ash] Huh - aah! [Points to Ash] It's you, Ash!
Pikachu
Pika?
[Kenny arrives]
Hey, there, Dee-Dee, long time.
Obviously, you're gonna enter the Sandalstraw Contest too, right, Dee-Dee?
Look, you better stop calling me Dee-Dee or else!
Huh? Just a cotton-pickin' minute - are you trying to say you two know each other?
You know Kenny too, Barry?
Of course. Best buddies... [Turns to Kenny] Right?
Yeah, although we just met each other now for the first time.
See, I just found out both Kenny and I are from Twinleaf Town, so that means we're practically like brothers. The deal is, Kenny's going to enter the contest and then I'll enter Pokémon Ping-Pong for a double win. We're going to do some special training.
You don't know what that is? Let me see if I've got it... [Gets out a poster which promotes the Pokémon Ping-Pong tournament] Yeah, here. You see, they're holding ping-pong after the contest, and all the strongest competitors are going to be there.
I remember reading about this at the Pokémon Centre. It's double ping-pong where trainer and Pokémon form a team.
And since I have so much free time on my hands, I'm actually a teacher at this school now.
Wow, a Gym Leader and a teacher. [Like Roxanne from the Hoenn Region]
So, Ash how many badges do you have?
That's great! I'm wondering if I can show you off as an example to my students at the training school?
No. I'd really like you to help me teach a class! I'd think it would be a great experience for all of them. Can we have the Gym Battle later?
I'd be happy to do anything I can. Right Pikachu?
Pikachu
Pika! [You know it!]
[Outside, Ash is lying on the grass, frustrated that he can't answer any questions right]
Relax, you simply show off your true power when you're in battle, see? Desk type work? That's not really your thing.
Pikachu
Pikachu. [He's got a point, you know.]
[immediately bolts up] Jeremiah!
For a trainer with six badges, you don't seem to know much. To be honest, I'm surprised.
Hey, I'll do better next time.
I would hope so. [he leaves]
Don't worry. It doesn't change you're a genius in Gym Battles, really.
Yeah, maybe. Hey, where's Dawn and the gang?
[The episode begins at Lake Acuity the morning after the full battle, where Uxie's silhouette briefly appears from under the lake, then vanishes. At the Pokémon Center, all of Ash's Pokémon are seen hospitalized under the care of Nurse Joy and her Chansey and Blissey.]
Pikachu
[weakly] Pi, Pika...
[v.o.] In the wake of a full Pokémon battle against Paul, Ash and his struggling Pokémon are staying at the Pokémon Center on Lake Acuity to rest, heal and recharge.
[Still feeling guilty, Ash rolls over, only to notice Pikachu standing in front of him]
[astonished] Huh?! Pikachu!
Pikachu
Pika, Pi, Pika.
[Ash gets up and notices all of his Pokémon in front of him]
Gliscor, Gli, Gli, Gliscor.
MMonferno
Monferno, Monferno.
[Suddenly, Ash’s Pokémon start feeling their pain, to Ash’s and Pikachu’s embarrassment]
[concerned] Oh, man. Please don't overdo it. [starts laughing] Okay, you’re all trying to cheer me up now, right?
Pikachu
[regretful] Pika...
Right! [gets up] I’m fine now. I’m not feeling sad one little bit. [stares at the sky] Paul sure is tough. He’s got his own way of getting strong, and I’ve gotta admit he gave it his all. That’s how he got strong in the first place. But, hey, we’re gonna get stronger too. It’s not gonna be easy, though. So there’s only one thing to do. We’re gonna have to work harder than Paul. And when we meet up with him again, we’re gonna beat that guy! What do you say, gang?
[in response, all of his Pokémon cheer and happily glomp him]
Come on. Get off! Hey, guys, get off!
[a while later, Ash and his Pokémon are returning to the Pokémon Center, when suddenly, much to the Pokémon’s confusion, Ash’s stomach starts to growl]
Oops! Guess I forgot to eat something today.
[Pikachu, Staraptor, Grotle, Monferno, Buizel and Gliscor all laugh]
[Ash, Lyra, Dawn and Khoury are still looking for the wild Gible until they give up]
KKhoury
I would say Gible fled over into that cave.
Great, let's go have a look!
[Khoury gets out his PokéNav device]
KKhoury
It's dangerous around here. We need to be careful.
LLyra
Look, Dane and Khoury!
Hey, I wonder if they're onto something. [Races past Dawn and Khoury] See you there!
KKhoury
Ash, better be careful, or else!
Ha-ha! [Falls into a sand trap] Wargh!
Pikachu
Pika!
[It turns out that the sand trap Ash has fallen into contains a Trapinch]
Man, it's a Trapinch sand trap! [Khoury reaches out for his hand] Huh?
[Soon, Ash has been rescued from the Trapinch sand trap]
Look, Ash, sometimes you act so reckless, you make me want to scream out loud!
Knock it off! I don't need any advice from you.
[yells at Ash] When I want to give advice, I'll give it!
KKhoury
Now, now, this is no time to fight.
I told you, I don't need your help!
[While Ash and Dawn are bickering, Lyra turns round and giggles]
LLyra
There's nothing like two people who really care. Hold on...
[off camera] Stop being such a child!
LLyra
Do Khoury and I act like that?
[Ash and Dawn continue arguing while Khoury tries to stop them]
[In Team Galactic's headquarters, Cyrus steps down some steps]
CCyrus
Fighting is by far the most frightful by-product of the human heart. Haven't I been telling you that time and time again?
JJupiter
But since these children pose a very real threat to our plan for a new world order, isn't it only natural to eliminate them? [Cyrus glares at her and Mars] Hm.
CCyrus
Behold! This is just the kind of accomplishment the human heart has the potential to achieve. But when your heart is ruled by emotions, you will but fight. In which case, humanity will never advance! I guess I could let you know what this is about.
CCyrus
I am part of this! Team Galactic is my creation, and you are now in my creation's headquarters.
CCyrus
Correct! We're bringing about the dawn of a new world order, so we're gathered here to discard the old world of discording conflict and make a much better one in place of it.
So, it was you who stole the Lustrous Orb from the Celestic Ruins! You lied to all of us and you lied to Cynthia, too!
CCyrus
Lose your rage. It only destroys.
No way! Not when you treat Pokémon that way! This has gotta stop! Now let them go back to their lake!
CCyrus
That can't be done. They're quite necessary for us to be able to bring forth the new world!
Then that means it's exactly as Cynthia said it was!
[Ash and Dawn growl]
CCyrus
Obviously, these children must mean something important if the Legendary Pokémon saw fit to bring them all here. We will need to keep them around until our task is completed, just in case.
[Ash, Dawn and Brock get surrounded by Team Galactic grunts, and confronted by Mars and Jupiter and their Pokémon. Then, the camera cuts to and zooms in on an the cornered trio and then, Mesprit, Azelf and Uxie who have red eyes indicating anger. It cuts to Ash who is still cross]
You won't get away with it. Who cares if you're Team Galactic? Pikachu! Thunderbolt, let's go!
Pikachu
Pika... [Uses Thunderbolt] ...chuuuuuu!
Pip... [Uses Bubble Beam like Dawn told him] ...lup!
[Piplup's Bubble Beam breaks the stasis cells that each Lake Guardian is trapped in]
Croagunk! [Aims at Toxicroak when the screen freezes]
While a powerful assault begins to take shape against the evil Team Galactic in an attempt to free the three Legendary Pokémon, will our heroes be successful in their mission? Stay tuned to find out!
[During sunset, Gliscor is still crying about its defeat.]
Yeah, that was a tough loss, eh, Gliscor?
[looks at Ash] Gliscor. Gli...
[After sunset, inside the guest house, the gang is having dinner. Gliscor, however, is not hungry, but instead mourning about its defeat]
Gliscor? Not much of an appetite, huh?
You've gotta eat if you wanna get stronger.
Pikachu
Pika, Pika!
[reluctant] Gli... (Fine...)
[reaches for its bowl, much to its reluctance; with a full mouth] Gliscor.
[several minutes later, after dinner]
[holds up Gliscor’s Poké-Ball] 'Kay, Gliscor, time for bed.
[short pause]
But, Gliscor, you’ve gotta get some rest.
I guess Gliscor’s got a lot to think about.
[While the gang falls asleep, Ash loses grasp of Pikachu.]
Pikachu
[wakes up] Pika? [rubs his eye, then goes outside. At the edge of the valley, Gliscor is gazing at the moon, still mourning about its loss; off-screen] Pika, Pika?
Pikachu
Pikachu.
[approaches them] Gliscor.
Hey, what do you say we take a whack at trying to read the wind, just like McCann said?
[heads up] Gli? (Really?) [grinning] Scor. (Yes.)
[thinking] What'd he say about reading the wind? Yeah, got it!
[Cut to Gliscor chasing Staraptor, who has a rope tied to his tail.]
Gliscor, that’s it! Just keep on chasing after the rope!
[holding a paper bag] Here, Ash, try using this.
I took a bit tinfoil and used it to make confetti. Watch this. [throws some confetti in the air, which reveals the wind once caught in it]
Whoa, great! Now you can see the wind. [to Gliscor] Now, Gliscor, follow that trail!
[starts following the confetti] Gli!
[is given the bag] Thanks a lot, Dawn. [to Gliscor] Gliscor, look down! [throws some confetti] Here’s more!
[following the next trail of confetti] Scor!
You’re really riding the wind!
Pikachu
[happy] Pika, Pika!
[Meanwhile, Team Rocket are travelling in their balloon at night while suddenly some tinfoil hits them.]
What’s with the sparkles?
[points at something off-screen] That!
Gliscor! [lands in Team Rocket’s balloon basket]
[to Jessie and James] This Gliscor’s from the twoips. [to Gliscor] What are you doing on a night like this?
[calmly] Gliscor, Gli. Gli, Gliscor, Gli.
Gliscor’s trying to read the wind so it can battle Scizor for the win.
Really? You want an air battle with me again?
Even though Gliscor wasn’t able to land a single hit before?
[as he and Gliscor bow] Yes, we do. We’re asking for another chance, please.
Pikachu
Pika.
Oh, please, sir. Ash and Gliscor worked really hard all night long learning to read the wind.
‘Course, we might not be able to beat Scizor after all of this, but still. We really wanna check how far we’ve come and look at Gliscor’s progress.
Well, there’s always more time to kill, so why not?
[a moment later, Ash’s Gliscor and McCann’s Scizor are prepared for the rematch.]
All right, then. Ready to go?
Do it, Gliscor! Good luck.
Pikachu
Pika, Pika!
[After Gliscor lost a second time.]
But not only did you learn how to read the wind, you learned a brand-new move, too. And that’s really good, you know?
Pikachu
Pika, Pika!
Yeah, that performance really wasn’t bad at all.
Indeed. Tell me, Ash. How would you like to leave Gliscor with me for a little training?
If your Gliscor was able to read the wind that well in just one night, there’s a making of a great pupil here.
[stunned] Whoa, I don’t know what to say.
It’s quite amazing how this reminds me of the very first time I met Scizor. It’s been a long time since I’ve met a Pokémon I wanted to train.
[shocked] Gliscor? [stares at the ground, thinking] Gli...
[Ash is giving Gible some training]
All right, Gible... [Points in Gible's direction] ...Draco Meteor.
[Gible uses Draco Meteor and the attack goes high in the sky, but then it falls]
[Nearby, Piplup is smelling some flowers, even though he has no nose. Then, Gible's Draco Meteor attack hits him]
Piplup! [He faints] Piplup, Piplup!
Sorry, Piplup. [to Gible] Gible, use Draco Meteor.
[Gible unleashes its Draco Meteor attack which goes high in the sky and comes back down again]
[Piplup is looking at his reflection in a nearby river]
Piplup. [Nice water] [But then, Gible's Draco Meteor hits him] Piplup!
[The camera shows that he is now upside-down in the river]
[enraged] Piplup Piplup Piplup Piplup Piplup Piplup...
I'm really sorry, Piplup. [to Gible] Draco Meteor, one more time!
[Gible unleashes its Draco Meteor attack which goes high in the sky and comes back down again]
[But the attack hits Piplup again...]
Piplup! (and again...) Piplup! (and again...) Piplup! [Loses his temper] Piplup, Piplup! [THAT'S IT!] [Runs up to Gible] PIPLUP, PIPLUP, PIPLUP, PIPLUP!!! [I'M GETTING FED UP WITH YOUR CONSTANT DRACO METEOR ATTACK!!!] [Gible bites on his head]
[Piplup becomes extremely angry and uses Bubblebeam on Gible, then Whirlpool. Gible bites on a rock]
Piiiiiiiip! [Starts attacking Gible angrily] Piplup, Piplup, Piplup, Piplup, Piplup, Piplup, Piplup, Piplup, Piplup!
[Ash and Dawn see what is happening]
Ash Hey, cool it!
[in tears] Piplup, Piplup...
[Piplup has a fantasy in which Gible is being chided by Dawn and Ash]
Gible, that's just awful.
Yeah, you keep on hitting Piplup over and over.
Pikachu
Pika!
ASAsh's Gible
Gib, Gible.
You've gotta tell Piplup you're really sorry.
Pikachu
Pikachu!
ASAsh's Gible
Gible. Gib, Gib, Gible.
[A second fantasy begins. It features a happy Dawn]
Oh, Piplup, no need to worry. My sweet Piplup. Dear Piplup.
[In the present, Piplup is crying in tears of joy as he hugs Pikachu]
Piplup, Piplup, Piplup, Piplup. [His cheeks turn red and his eyes turn small] Piplup?
Pikachu
Pika, Pika. [Runs back to Ash] Pikachu.
Gible, there's no reason to get worked up.
Yeah, you'll get it in no time.
Sure. We all know you weren't trying to be mean, Gible.
Piplup?! [What was that?!]
Weren't trying to be mean, Gible... Weren't trying to be mean, Gible... [Piplup turns white in shock] Weren't trying to be mean, Gible... [The background turns purple] Piplup... [The camera cuts to the hills, the forest, the sky and then back to Ash and his friends talking to Gible] Piplup... [Walks away from Ash and his friends]
And Gible gets today’s gallantry award. Eat all you want.
Now that Gible has mastered Draco Meteor, I’m sure Piplup will be able to rest easier. Am I right?
[overseeing his Pokémon] Thanks a lot, Gible, Noctowl and Donphan. I’ll work hard in round 4. And that’s a promise!
Pikachu
Pikachu!
[Paul and his Electivire approach]
Hey, Paul. So, are you fine-tuning your Pokémon?
Pikachu
Pika!
[overseeing the two trainers] It’s Paul vs. Ash. I’m really looking forward to their battle.
[v.o.] And so, Ash advances to round 4: the quarter-finals, where our battle with Paul promises some red-hot excitement, so stay tuned for two longtime rivals going at it head to head.
[Cut after sunset]
Good. Noctowl and the others are all in good hands. So, waiting for your third Pokémon for tomorrow?
Right. It should be here any minute now.
[Dawn enters the Pokémon Center]
Pikachu
Pika!
[Dawn and Ash head outside the Pokémon Center, where Brock is waiting for them]
Ash, [points at something off-screen] look!
[Dawn and Ash look up and notice a familiar shadow heading for them, much to Ash's and Pikachu's delight]
I've been waiting. Gliscor!
[eagerly licks her lips] Gli.
Infernape's gotten a lot stronger.
Yeah, sure has, Paul. Are you going?
I lost, Ash, didn't I? So there's no reason to stay. I'm going to go back to Snowpoint City and request another battle with Brandon.
Paul...and Ash. Someday soon, they'll both be entering the Champion League and how I look forward to that day.
[Just then the boat rings signalling that it is about to leave]
So...I'll see you. [walks away saddened that karma had finally caught up to him]
One more thing, Paul! Let's battle again real soon!
Pikachu
Pika, Pika! (Take care, Paul!)
[Paul is shocked by the proposal but has a warm friendly smile. He waves goodbye to Ash in a friendly matter without looking back, finally acknowledging Ash as a worthy trainer]
