[once she opens the door] Got it! Now let's go in and find your friend.
Oh thank you, miss! Now perhaps you can open your heart and let my love enter in.
[confused] Huh?
[pulls Brock's ear] It's time for you to exit.
Well, I don't care when it evolved. It shouldn't be tackling me like that.
I'm sure Bayleef isn't trying to hurt you, Ash. That's probably the way it shows affection, and it just doesn't know its own strength yet.
Tackling you must be Bayleef's way of saying 'I love you'!
Huh...?
Love can be painful, Ash! Bayleef wants you to fall for it and fall hard! That's probably why it's using its Tackle attack!
Brock, I think you're having a Goofy attack...
[The group have just viewed a movie trailer with Brad Van Darn, a man they met earlier]
[in the trailer] I'll take you to the Ultra Maximum.
He doesn't act like a movie star in person...
He doesn't act like a person in the movies!
Hey! Where's Togepi?
Yeah, Smoochum's gone, too.
And Pikachu's not here, either!
Skiploom.
Smoochum! Smoochum! Smoochum! Smoochum! Smoochum!
Pi, Pika. Pi.
Smoochum!
Skiploom.
Excellent.
Our Robo Skiploom is working like a charm.
Yeah, but I wonder who that Smoochum belongs to.
In about five seconds, it's going to belong to us!
Skiploom.
Smoochum!
Pika! Pi! Pika! Pi. Pi.
Having a little problem getting through, Pikachu? I suppose we should've made a bigger hole, cause you're a whole lot bigger, aren't you, Pikachu?
If you like those Pokémon, wait till you see Onix!
USE YOUR HEAD, BROCK! THIS IS NO PLACE FOR AN ONIX!
Maybe you're right...
[Ash and his friends walking through a park in Olivine City]
I hope she'll be alright.
I wonder who Sparkle is. Hey, maybe it's her cousin. Do you think she's as pretty as Jasmine?
When do you think she'll be ready to battle with you?
Oh! That's right! I gotta find out! [Runs back the other way]
But she's not at the gym anymore, Ash!
[stops] Oh, that's right.
Hey, look over there.
Huh?
Ka?
[They look and see Janina scrubbing her Onix in a grey sand pit]
Hey, Janina!
Huh? [Turns to Ash, Brock and Misty] I shouldn't have played that trick on you, I'm sorry.
Don't worry, it's not that big a deal. But can I ask you what you're doing?
Well, you see, I rubbed water-repellent wax all over my Onix, and now I'm trying to clean it off by scrubbing it with sand.
Water-repellent wax?
So that's why it wasn't affected by Totodile's Water Gun attack.
That's not a very kind way to treat your Onix, you know.
Oh, I know that now. But all I ever wanted was to be an apprentice at Jasmine's gym, and I was just hoping to make her proud of me, that's all. So I decided to do whatever I could to overcome Onix's weakness.
So that was it.
Pika.
And no one ever told me it was against the rules.
Instead of trying to erase a Pokémon's weaknesses, you have to encourage its natural strengths!
But how am I supposed to do that?
If you listen to your Onix with both your heart and your ears, you'll learn everything you need to.
Hey! That's exactly what Jasmine used to tell me to do!
Oh! Do you have any idea where I can find Jasmine right now?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure she's at the Shining Lighthouse down on the wharf.
Thanks! [Runs off]
Wait up, Ash!
[Misty and Brock race off to catch up with Ash]
[to Onix] So, I guess I'll have to try listening to you a little bit better.
[responds]
[The title card comes up]
[voiceover] Espeon, Not Included.
[Ash, Misty, Brock, Pikachu and Togepi are sampling some kebabs]
You know, these are the best kebabs I've ever eaten.
I forgot to tell you, Ash. I got an email from Sakura, and she's going to meet up with us here.
[with his mouth full] That's the girl who's got an Eevee, right?
Pika pika!
Yeah, along with four beautiful older sisters. But, that's not important.
I wonder where she is. [Stands up] Huh? [Sees an Espeon running towards them] Look at that!
[Everyone else looks]
Huh?
Ka?
It's an Espeon!
[The Espeon stops in front of Ash and his friends as a familiar voice is heard]
[off camera] Misty!
Huh?
[Espeon's Trainer, Sakura, approaches them]
Sakura!
Hi!
Hi!
It's been, way too long.
I was getting worried.
Oh, sorry. I was just taking care of Espeon and it got late.
That's okay, I didn't realise you had an Espeon.
Yeah. My Eevee evolved into an Espeon.
[gets out his Pokédex] Wow, let me see.
Espeon, the Sun Pokemon. Espeon are able to read air currents, allowing it to predict the future as well as its opponent's next moves.
Cool.
So, it's a psychic type, huh?
Uh huh.
Your family almost has all the evolutions of Eevee. Ahhhh! Satsuki has a Jolteon, Sumomo has a Vaporeon, Tamao has an Umbreon, and Koume has a Flareon. And, presenting, your Espeon!
Awesome, you really do have all of them.
Sakura, that's so cool.
Yeah, you're right. Now that Eevee evolved, we do. [to Espeon] Right, Espeon?
[Nuzzles in agreement]
It's a perfect day as our heroes head toward Blackthorn City, where Ash hopes to win his eighth and final badge to qualify for the Johto League.
Let me see. It looks like we're close.
Hey!
Look! There it is!
The Pokémon Center.
What do you say we go check it out? Huh?
Keep it up, Poliwrath!
Hitmontop, hang in there!
[crowd shouting]
Hey, look at that!
Sounds like lots of fun!
You're right. Come on!
Hitmontop, Triple Kick, now!
Dodge it, Poliwrath! [...] Now, Poliwrath, Double Slap!
Poliwrath and Hitmontop, huh?
Well, I'm certain that Poliwrath will win, hands down!
Well, that's no surprise.
We know you'll always take the side of Water Pokémon, Misty.
Poliwrath, Submission, go!
Hang in there, Hitmontop! [...] Oh, no!
Sorry, Mason.
Wow! That was an amazing move!
But I thought only Fighting Pokémon use Submission.
True, but Poliwrath acquired Submission Attack when it evolved from a Poliwhirl.
[Ash and friends are inside the Marine Pokémon Laboratory to receive an Egg that they must deliver to Professor Elm. A woman is heard panting, obviously in a rush for something.]
Woman: Outta my way, please!
[They all yell.]
Sorry!
What's the big rush?!
I'll tell you: it's a rush to excellence, to beauty, and to romance! [The romantic runs off towards the woman as always...]
Uh, Brock, where are you going?!
Pikachu!
We better follow him!
[They hurry after Brock and the woman, who is seen in front of a bay with a radar and a Lanturn.
Baa?
Alright, Lanturn, they're coming! Let's get ready!
Baa! Baaaa..... [It jumps into the water and uses Supersonic, acting as a doppler.]
Supersonic level optimized and fully operational!
[as Ash and Misty and their Pokémon catch up with him] Excuse me, I know you must be real busy... with your equipment and all, but, I can't wait to express my feelings for one as beautiful as you!
Please, be quiet! Or I won't be able to hear them when they speak!
When who speaks?
[As the radar keeps pinging, a group of some kind of Pokémon can be heard singing.]
It sounds... more like they're crying.
Toge.
It's the song of travel.
That's a song?
Pika?
[The song and the radar grow louder.]
Huh?
[The radar shows ten figures, marked by stars, traveling toward the dock.]
Yes, they'll be here soon! Lanturn, look! Here they come!
Baaa!
[The Pokémon's heads surface one by one, and they are revealed to be a herd of Lapras. One of them makes a rather large splash.]
Lapras!
Just look at 'em all!
Togepi!
[The Lapras all sing in greeting.]
It's great to see them looking so well!
So it was the Lapras who were doing all that singing!
[One of them cries and swims toward Ash and company, showing affection to Ash and Pikachu.]
Hey there, Lapras, you sure are a friendly one!
It's trying to tell you something.
Huh?
[The rest of the Lapras cry at Ash, trying to communicate the same thing this Lapras is.]
Yeah, seems like all of them are! Hey, wait a minute, I know you!
Pika!
[A flashback of this Lapras, who Ash remembers to be his very own, who helped him through the Orange League and especially through beating the Supreme Gym Leader, Drake, having to leave Ash to join this very herd plays out.]
[in the flashback] They're waiting for ya... it's time to go.
[His Lapras cries emotionally.]
Get outta here!
[His Lapras joins the others and shows affection to the herd leader as the flashback ends.]
[In the present, his Lapras cries to him as he realizes it grew up from the time he owned it.]
Aha! Lapras, you're my old buddy, aren't you?
[Ash hugs Lapras and Pikachu jumps onto its head as it cries out.]
I didn't even recognize you! You really grew up, Lapras!
Pika-pika!
Since their arrival in Silver Town, our heroes have been spending time at the Pokémon Center, finishing up final details before Ash can begin competing in the Silver Conference.
[exiting the Pokémon Center] Glad that's out of the way. Are you ready for some battling, Pikachu?
Pika, Pika!
Not so fast, Ash...
Huh?
Have you even looked at the Guide Book yet?
Pi?
Uh, not really...
Huh? [They notice a rather familiar person in front of Ash, and who else would it be than his rival, Gary Oak?]
Old habits die hard, eh, Ashy Boy?
Gary!
Yeah, long time no see, huh?
I know! So are you gonna battle in the Silver Conference too?
Yep! I dotted every I and crossed every T and figured out which Pokémon I'm using, so now I'm just chilling out!
Wow! You not only finished all your paperwork, but you picked out all your Pokémon as well?
That's great, Gary!
Thanks, guys. This conference means a lot to me. It's Numero Uno or bust!
Then you better prepare for a bust, because I'm gonna battle you and I'm gonna beat you!
Pika!
Heheheheh! Still got that naïve enthusiasm, I see! [obviously, this riles up Ash and Pikachu]
Oh, really?!
Just because you got lucky at the Indigo Plateau doesn't mean a hill of beans! [He starts to walk toward the Pokémon Center.]
I'm setting you straight this go-round, no doubt about it!
Wow. He's sure feeling pretty confident...
Toge...
I don't care! I'm putting him in his place once and for all!
[agitated] Pika, Pika!
[As Ash and friends look for the Athlete's Village, they reunite with President Charles Goodshow, who also oversaw the Indigo League and is giving out balloons to children.]
Mr. Goodshow!
Hm? It's Ash, Brock, and Misty!
Hey, how've you been?
Why are you here giving out balloons, Mr. Goodshow?
You see, as president of the Pokémon League Torch Committee, one of my jobs is to greet the fans! And what better way than with balloons, huh?!
[He scratches his beard.]
[laughing] Yes, very clever!
Everyone loves balloons!
Say, Ash, it's been a long time since I've seen you! So, I'll bet you came here to compete in the Silver Conference, that right?
Right!
Great, great! Promise me you'll get out there and show 'em what a real battle is all about, 'kay, Ash?
You got it, Mr. Goodshow!
[cheerfully] Pika, Pika!
[After Ash handily defeated all three opponents in the preliminary Trainer Screening, he, Brock, and Misty are watching the monitor to see the 48 Trainers who advanced.]
[amidst the overlapping chatter] I look pretty good! Hahaha!
Wow!
So these are the Trainers who can move on to the semifinals, huh?
[noticing their good friend Harrison's picture] Oh! There's Harrison! He got through the screening!
[chuckles]
I'm so happy for him!
Togeprrri! Toge?
[noticing Gary's picture] Ohh!
There's Gary, too!
Yeah, and what about me? [he sees himself on the screen.] Ah!
Pika!
Alright!
Pika!
Misty You're right in there with Gary! That's great!
Yeah, for now, 'til I blow past him to the victory!
Pika, Pika!
Maybe...
Huh?
Toge?
I wonder, will it all go that easily?
Mr. Goodshow?
What exactly do you mean by that?
I mean, just getting through the semifinals is a tall order in itself! The Silver Conference semifinals are fought between three members of each block, and the trainer who comes out with the most Victory Points from those battles can participate in the Victory Tournament in the finals! Only sixteen participants who make their way through the semifinals will be able to compete in that Victory Tournament!
Wow, I guess it is a pretty long road before you get to that final tournament, isn't it?
Yeah, and a pretty rough road, too.
That's what I'm telling ya! So! Good luck!!
Pika!
But all that stuff you're sayin' just makes me wanna win it that much more! Wanna hear my plan? We win, and then we win... and then we win some more!
Pika, Pika!
Ladies and gentlemen, I've just been informed that there seems to be a bit of confusion as to the exact whereabouts of our torch runner. [He gasps.] This just in: it appears that an unfortunate accident has left our torch runner unable to continue! [This, of course, was courtesy of Team Rocket, who, in another failed attempt to capture Pikachu, caused the runner to sprain his ankle.]
[The crowd can quietly be heard chattering in confusion.]
Now what?!
Toge!
They've got to use the Sacred Flame!
Toge! Toge, Toge!
Togepi?
Pika!
Huh?!
Pika!
[A silhouette of a boy and his Pikachu bearing the torch is revealed to be none other than Ash Ketchum, who was privileged with the role after he and Gary negotiated, seemingly with Mr. Goodshow or another official.]
Look!
Hey, it's Ash!
Toge!
Delia [who is watching from home with Mimey] Oh!
Mime!
Carrying the torch is Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town!
Ohh!
My stars! Now, how did Ash get that torch?!
The Sacred Ho-Oh Flame, from the same Legendary Pokémon that was said to have quelled the battle...
Ah...!
...restoring life to the plains and forests, is now being carried onto the Silver Stadium platform!
[Mr. Goodshow chuckles to himself and stands up as Ash is positioned to light the Sacred Flame.]
[With Mr. Goodshow, Gary and the injured runner, the rest of the semifinals competitors watching, and the crowd watching, Ash turns to the cauldron and lights it with the torch, causing the Sacred Flame to burn brightly in the night sky. The crowd erupts.]
Toge, Toge, Togeprrri!
Yayyy! Hahaha!
[Mr. Goodshow walks up to the podium and clears his throat as he prepares to address the Trainers.]
Mr. Goodshow: Skillful and excited participants! Now that the Ho-Oh Sacred Flame is watching over all of you, battle with honesty, integrity, and honor, so that you will never regret a single moment of your time here!
[The crowd cheers as the camera shows Gary and Harrison standing beside each other, and Ash and Pikachu looking at each other.]
With Ash and Gary's help, the Sacred Ho-Oh Flame burns proudly into the sky, marking the opening of the Johto League Silver Conference! Could this turn of events be a hint of great things to come? Stay tuned!
[The "TO BE CONTINUED" text appears in the bottom right corner.]
[Explaining the semifinals format, a format that can be compared to the group stage of the FIFA World Cup]
The semifinals will be a round robin tournament between all three trainers.
[The screen changes to show a visual of a scoreboard with Mr. Goodshow, Brock, and Misty. With Mr. Goodshow having won against Misty, he has 3 Victory Points while Misty has none.]
A win is three points, a loss is zero points, and a draw is one point for each.
[The completed scoreboard shows Mr. Goodshow having drawn against Brock to finish four points, Misty with three points with a win against Brock, and Brock with one in a draw against Mr. Goodshow and a loss against Misty. Thus, Mr. Goodshow advances.]
Whoever ends up with the most points moves on to the Victory Tournament!
Okay, so a win is three points... ah, who cares?! I'll just win 'em all and go to the Victory Tournament!
Pikachu!
[Ash's Kingler, who he had great faith in to perform well against his Fire-type-using opponent, Macey, has just been knocked out by the Thunder Shock of three Voltorb that a man dropped down a hill, which might have caused injuries or deaths if Kingler wasn't there. It now sits a healing table in the Pokémon Center with Ash & friends and Nurse Joy.]
[panicked] Nurse Joy, my Kingler is--
Your Kingler will be just fine, but I'm afraid there'll be no battling today.
Ohh... that's just great. [He sits down on a bench outside and sulks.] Now what am I gonna do...?
I guess you're gonna have to make do with Totodile, Ash. It's your only Water Pokémon.
[The sound of a motorcycle revving is heard, which catches the attention of the gang, especially when it's revealed that the motorcycle is Officer Jenny's!]
Hello, Ash! Hello Misty and Brock!
Officer Jenny?!
[Jenny's motorcycle screeches to a stop, a Pokémon jumps out, and how convenient is it that it's Ash's Squirtle, wearing his trademark glasses from the Squirtle Squad?]
Squirtle! Squirtle, Squirtle!
Is that Squirtle...? It is! I can't believe it!
Pika, Pika!
Hey there, buddy! How've you been?
Squirtle, Squirtle!
Pikachu!
But how on Earth did Ash's Squirtle get HERE?
When Squirtle saw Ash running at the opening ceremonies, there was no stopping it!
[Brock, as usual, falls for Jenny, being the hopeless romantic he is...]
Every time I see your face, there's just no stopping me!
What?
[Dragging Brock off by his ear] Enough! Love is blind, but you're annoying.
This is great, but what about all it's firefighting work with the Squirtle Squad?
The Squirtle Squad has grown so much, they said that your Squirtle could take a little time off, Ash!
The perfect time, too!
Hey Ash, you could hurry and change your entry!
Yeah! Squirtle, that okay?
[Giving a thumbs-up] Squirt! Squirtle-squirt!
[Ash, Brock and Misty are in the Silver Town Pokémon Center awaiting Ash's pairing for his first match in the Johto League Silver Conference Victory Tournament after tying with Jackson to advance.]
Hey, guys! The pairings for the Finals Tournament just went up!
Harrison made it!
Well, that doesn't surprise me!
[The giant monitor shows Harrison being paired up against an unknown boy for his first match.]
Yeah, he's really good.
Let's see, where am I...?
[The camera pans over to the right, where Ash is shown versus... his biggest rival, Gary?!]
[The camera zooms in on their top halves.]
Oh...! It's Gary!
[Brock and Misty both gasp.]
Pika...
Lucky you!
[turning toward Gary] Huh?
Toge?
Your Silver Conference experience is going to be a short one! I hope you had fun.
Hey! Grr...!
Pika!
[with more enthusiasm and urgency than usual] So, the day has finally come when these two rivals must clash head-to-head, with the championship on the line! [although Ash would have a long way to go to get there if he wins]
Will Ash emerge victorious, or will Gary's prediction come true?!
[A blazing fire appears in the background of the rivals in a standoff before the "TO BE CONTINUED" text appears in the bottom left corner.]
