[After sending all Gligar back to the forest]
Now we can finally relax.
[One of the Gligar flies on-screen]
Gli. [winks and licks its lips affectionately] Gligar!
[Gligar lands on Ash and starts struggling]
Hey! Where'd you learn how to fly?!
[drags Gligar off of Ash] Why didn't you go with your friends?
[winks and licks its lips affectionately] Gli.
BBrock
I'll tell you what I think: Gligar likes Ash.
DADawn and Ash
[confused] Huh?!
[Ash gasps in amazement, then looks at his Gligar friend]
[when Butch and Cassidy arrive, with Dawn meeting them for the first time...]
AJAsh and Jessie
Cassidy...
BJBrock and James
...and Biff!
[annoyed and irritated] I told you, it's not "Biff", it's "Butch"! James, you're as bad as those twerps!
I thought one Team Rocket was bad enough.
So, what are you doing here messing up the landscape, Jessica?
Now, stop stealing all of my lines! What are you doing here?!
Ask Professor Bamba. [phone rings] Huh? [answers it] Hello there!
NDr. Namba
[on phone] It's "Namba"!
Uh... We're here on orders from Professor Namba. He wants to study the sand that Hippowdon sprayed out, so he sent us to capture one.
You tell Professor fan-boy...! [phone rings] Huh?
Huh? [answers it, but throws it to Jessie] It's for you.
Oh? [talks into it] Hello?
NDr. Namba
[on phone] It's still "Namba"!
[groans] Alright, why didn't that loud mouth give us the orders instead of you? Let us not forget that the Sinnoh region is our turf! [throws the phone back to Cassidy, and Cassidy catches it]
Well, that's not what I hear. Giovanni told me personally that we're his two and only Sinnoh region reps.
[Jessie, James, and Meowth gasp in shock]
But we've been hitting the dusty Sinnoh trail since way back!
Perhaps you've all forgotten just how forgetable you fools can be.
True. Tee-hee. [she and Butch laugh evilly]
[groans] Where'd you get that bucket of bolts?!
It's actually a present from Professor Kimba.
[phone rings and Butch answers it]
NDr. Namba
[on phone] It's "Namba"!
Now, Turtwig, use Razor Leaf, let's go! Help out Hippowdon!
It's one of Professor Namba's inventions.
[groans] We finance and build our own machines. It's not even fair that a brat named Bilge gets all the perks!
[enraged] I just told you, it's not "Bilge", it's "Butch"!
Now, Turtwig, use Razor Leaf, let's go! Help out Hippowdon! [sends Turtwig out]
Turtwig! Tur! [uses Razor Leaf to cut through the net]
We don't need twerp interference!
[A helicopter lands on the grass and several grunts from Team Galactic jump out. Saturn climbs out as the grunts prepare to do their job, unaware that Team Rocket is watching them from behind a bush]
They're here. And that wardrobe.
[Cut to Saturn]
SSaturn
Start meteorite collection.
[A second helicopter lowers its claw to pick up one of the meteorites. Meanwhile, Team Rocket are still watching from behind the bush]
Yowza! Too rich for our bank account!
[yells at James and Meowth] Will you yahoos stop nickel-and-diming?! Those are our meteors they're making off with!
[Meanwhile, Ash, Maylene, Lucario, Dawn and Brock are running to the meteorite field]
Lucario says it has something to do with the meteorites in the park.
BBrock
Did you call Officer Jenny?
The phones are dead, so I sent Connally out as messenger.
Check out the helicopters! They've been hovering above the park all day long.
[Back in the meteorite field, a helicopter lowers its claw to pick up one of the meteorites, with Team Rocket still watching from behind the bush]
[angrily] I will not witness my meteorites being manhandled by a bunch of bowl-headed fashion freaks!
But the place is crawling with bowl-heads!
[yells at James and Meowth] Have you two ninnies that Team Rocket's middle name is Pride?!
[Then, they are spotted by a Galactic Grunt]
TGTeam Galactic Grunt
What are you doing here?
SSaturn
Hm. Not you losers again.
[Jessie jumps out from behind the bush]
Your stupid team has much more to lose.
[James joins her]
Look in the mirror at the haircut you choose.
Dashing hope, putting fear in its place.
A rose by any other name is just as sweet. [As she says this line, Saturn's Toxicroak appears]
When everything's worse, our work is complete.
SSaturn
Sludge Bomb, Toxicroak.
Putting the fashion police in their place....
SSSaturn's Toxicroak
TOXICROA-OA-OAK! [Uses Sludge Bomb on Team Rocket who end up on another patch of grass just as Ash, Maylene, Lucario, Dawn and Brock arrive]
But where are the meteorites?
Team Rocket - those guys friends of yours?
[Team Rocket quickly get up as Jessie answers to Ash, Maylene, Lucario, Dawn and Brock]
[agitated madly;sarcastic] SURE! BEST FRIENDS LIKE YOU!
What about that Pokémon? [Gets out his Pokédex and scans Toxicroak]
ASAsh's Pokédex
Toxicroak, the Toxic Mouth Pokémon, and the evolved form of Croagunk. The poison produced in its sacs is carried through tubes in its arms to its knuckle claws.
Fashion freaks or not, they stole our meteorites and they're no friends of ours!
Chill out, yo. Check it, my Mareep for your Pikachu, switch.
Then try this on. A Magneton and a Magnemite. We good?
Hey, I told you, no deal!
BBrock
So why do you want Pikachu so much?
Easy. I'm already down with a cool Pichu and Raichu, but I also wanna be makin' friends with a cool Pikachu, dig? Lemme break it down. I want a full power evolution set, yo!
BBrock
Don't forget, you can dine all over the world, but you won't get my cooking!
Oh, now, Brock! It was awesome having your cooking again after so long!
Hey, May. Good luck with the rest of your Johto contests.
Thanks. And, Ash, lots of luck to you getting into the Sinnoh League!
Thanks! [Ash and May shake hands. The ship, with May onboard, then leaves the dock and heads into the sunset]
[Gligar is standing on a rock and looking at Paul nervously]
You stopped our training. Get out!
[Ash arrives]
Gli? Gligar! [Runs to Ash, crying]
Are you all right? We were worried.
[Dawn, Brock and the other Pokémon arrive, but then Chimchar sees Paul]
[Chimchar hides while Turtwig and Pikachu greet Electabuzz]
Pika, Pika. [Hello, Electabuzz]
EElectabuzz
Electa. [Hello, you lot]
Did you have your Pastoria Gym Battle Challenge yet?
I can't imagine why a losing coordinator like you would have any concern about gym battles.
I entered the Wallace Cup cos Wallace, the contest master, asked me to. He thought it would help Buizel's battle skills.
Remember the reason I entered the tag battle at Hearthome City?
Well, YOU gave ME a hard time, just because I did it to get my Pokémon in better shape for a real battle. BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU PULLED AT THE WALLACE CUP! GET IT?!
Brock, I smell a fight coming on. [The camera pans right to Brock]
When I was in that tag battle, the only thing I was thinking about was trying to win it. The only thing YOU were thinking about was how you could power up your own Pokémon.
Well, the fact is, I did win it, but you weren't able to win the Wallace Cup now, were you? Another perfect example of just how strong you aren't.
[Ash's Pokémon whimper while Dawn and Brock just glare at Paul]
[Dawn sets a pot of stew on the table]
[Ash and Brock have placed bowls of Pokémon food]
[All of their Pokémon storm out of the water, go to their bowls and start eating]
BBrock
That is some of my special Pokémon food. And I made plenty, so eat up.
[laughs] That’s Turtwig for you.
Yeah! [notices Gligar isn't there] Huh? Hey, where’d Gligar go? I’ll find out.
[eating] Croa... croa... croa...
[calling out] Hey, Gligar, come here!
Huh? [notices Gligar just as he lands on him] Ugh! [Gligar gets off of Ash] Why’d you do that?
[uses X-Scissor on the ground] Gli! Gli!
Oh, that’s X-Scissor. Does that mean you wanna do some battle training?
BBrock
That makes sense to me... [flashback of Gligar’s battle with Paul’s Gliscor] ...especially after Gligar had that frustrating battle with Paul’s Gliscor.
[As soon as the flashback ends, once hearing this, Gligar starts crying and groaning out of depression]
Careful, you’re going to get Gligar really depressed.
BBrock
Uh, sorry, Gligar.
Training, huh? So you wanna get stronger, right?
Awesome! We’ll get down to it right after lunch.
[Gligar and Buizel are having a stare-down]
As our heroes continue the Sinnoh region trek toward Hearthome City and Ash’s next Gym battle, we find a very motivated Gligar prompting a round of special training.
Gligar, you’re in the thick of it. Use your eyes and show that winning glare!
[steps forward] Gli! [gasps once noticing Buizel’s evil smirk and growl]
[tears up and starts begging] Gli, Gli, Gli...
Well, that’s not gonna work. Gligar, you can’t give up before you start.
[embarrassed] Pika, Pika.
Gligar, now! Use X-Scissor and keep it going!
[powers up] Gligar! [uses several X-Scissors on Buizel, who dodges them easily]
Now, Buizel, use Aqua Jet!
[Buizel starts using Aqua Jet, intimidating Gligar so much that it clings onto Ash’s face, just before the Aqua Jet hits them both]
Gligar, what’s wrong with you?!
[Gligar starts looking at the ground, tearing up and squeaking]
Ash, wait. Getting mad like that will just depress Gligar even more.
[slightly annoyed] Well, yeah, but still...
Cheer up, Gligar. No need to worry. You’ll just try a little harder next time and you’ll be wonderful.
Man, I don’t want Gligar to get spoiled.
BBrock
On the other hand, treating Gligar harshly isn’t going to get you very far either, right?
...Yeah. Okay, Turtwig, come out and gimme a hand! [sends in Turtwig]
Now, Turtwig. Energy Ball!
[starts forming the Energy Ball] Tur...
Gligar, if you don’t pay attention, you won’t be able to dodge.
[fires the Energy Ball at Gligar] Turtwig!
Now use Steel Wing right from where you are!
[hesitates] Uh? [uses Steel Wing] Gli! [pauses mid-dive once meeting Turtwig’s determined glare and defensive stance] Uh! [suddenly powers down and starts babbling and spinning around]
[turns and heads for Ash] Gligar.
Look out! [runs away with Pikachu in tow] Come on, Gligar, not over here!
Of course, NOW Gligar can fly straight as an arrow.
[pointing towards Turtwig] Your opponent’s back over there! [Gligar closes in and lands on Ash’s face] Ah! [removes Gligar from his face] What're you thinking?! [Gligar whimpers] You’re gonna have to stop crying and start toughening up. Let’s try it once more.
[From behind a bush, Team Rocket is eavesdropping the heroes]
Best wear a helmet when Gligar calls.
[laughs] I just thought of the perfect way to utilize that head-hugger.
I’m sensing a scene change.
[Begin boss fantasy]
[The three Psyduck use Water Gun on Chimchar, sending it back]
[about the three Psyduck] They're just too strong!
Okay, Chimchar, return! [Returns Chimchar to its Poké Ball]
Huh? [Looks up to Team Rocket who are standing at the top of the cliff, laughing at Ash's pathetic attempt] Team Rocket!
We've been monitoring your twerpish mayhem.
That trio of troublemakers seems to have you sad sacks stymied.
You're more yellow than they are!
So I guess you can do better than us?
As a matter of fact, our knowledgeable know-how could get you past them lickety-split.
Come on, you can't do that!
Since we're grown-ups, the word "can't" is not part of our vocabulary.
Really? Bet loser's part of it!
[Team Rocket falls to the ground and stands up again]
Cut stealing the punch line and watch this!
[They jump down into the valley and stand in front of the three Psyduck]
All righty, then, Meowth. Your move.
It's time to find your negotiation groove!
Hey, my pump is primed. Watch me sweet talk those three wacky worry warts! [Walks up to the Psyduck] Yo-yo! Look, it's been a long day for us non-twerps. Okay, so I don't exactly know what your deal is, but I really think making nice is the way to proceed. [The Psyduck get angry] I mean, there's no doubt you can hold your own in any brawl. Which leads me to ask you dudes a favour, if I may.
Are they negotiating, too?
BBrock
Your guess is as good as mine.
BBrock
Same with your guess as well.
With that power of yours, you could help us in our continuing quest to poach the twerp's Pikachu with the greatest of ease and without so much as breaking one drop of Psyduck sweat. Here's the payoff. Do that and there's some serious grub in it for you. A great deal if I ever heard one!
TPThe Three Psyduck
Psy! [They use Hidden Power on Team Rocket and send them blasting off into the sky]
What kind of negotiation was that?
We're blasting off again!
Ping!
They need to get a hobby or somethin'...
[after Gliscor lands on Brock with his whole body]
BBrock
[painfully] "Wow, you’re heavy."
[gets up and licks its face; chuckles] "Scor."
BBrock
"You’re Ash’s Gliscor. So, what’s up?"
[impersonating Pachirisu] "Gliscor, Gli." [pretends to have a fever] "Gliscor, Gli!" [curls up] "Gliscor, Gli..."
[make a puppy-pout face] "Gli!"
BBrock
"Huh?! There’s some sort of trouble, right?"
I don't believe it! [long pause] I love this hole! [In response, everyone else facefaults]
Give it a good look! Look how perfectly shaped it is! How it slopes gently downwards! Whoever dug this hole has the skill and the craftsmanship of a fearsome hole-digger! [everyone else facefaults] I must find the artisan who did this! Think of what it would do for my excavations!
Dad, you better have a look over there!
It can't be! [points to the other hole] Closer examination reveals this hole was dug by a machine.
BBrock
[as everyone else facefaults] Not that!
Can't you see that all your fossils have been STOLEN?!
Stolen? Nooo! My precious fossil collection is gone!
