Scenes with Brock 175
[Jessie and James taste May's Pokéblock]
It has a hint of, how you say... jet fuel. With the aftertaste of burning truck tires. And for some strange reason, I cannot quite swallow it!
BBrock
What your conclusion, then, sir?
It is my conclusion that this Pokéblock should be destroyed before anyone eats any of it by mistake.
BBrock
Hmm, I'm sure you're right about that.
Pikachu and the ship our ours!
RRobin
But we work together on that!
Prepare for trouble we like to work alone! Make it double cause we're bad to the bone! To protect the world from devastation! To unite all peoples within our nation! To denounce the evils of truth and love! To extend our reach to the stars above! Jessie! And James! Team Rocket sails the 7 seas at the speed of light! Surrender now or prepare for a waterlogged fight, fight, fight! Meowth, that's right! Wobbu! Chime! Chime!
So, what's Extreme Speed, Brock?
BBrock
It's an attack that increases a Pokémon's speed.
[This is in error, as Extreme Speed in the games is a damage dealing move, not a status-affecting move. Brock is confusing this move for Agility. However, he can arguably be considered partially right if it's taken into account that it's a move that lets the Pokémon use it first, unless the opponent has a higher speed stat when also using the move or others like it, such as Aqua Jet and Quick Attack.]
[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.
[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.
BBrock
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.
Wha? Hey, what's up, Pikachu?
Pika, Pika. [Goes running off]
Wait! Pikachu, come back here! Where are you goin'?
[The title card comes up]
[voiceover] Fear Factor Phony!
[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.
BBrock
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.
[Team Rocket are looking inside the entrance to a mine shaft]
Zip zero, not a ghost in sight.
It would help if there were such things as ghosts in the first place.
[Then, two eerie pink eyes appear from inside the tunnel]
[The pink eyes are revealed to be coming from a Haunter which appears]
What a pretty purple colour.
GHGhostly Haunter
Ghostly, ghostly!
[The ghost sticks its tongue out and roars, making Team Rocket scream]
[Inside one of the ghost town's buildings, Ash and his friends have just overheard the scream]
[Max and May shudder]
You think it's the ghost?
[reacting] Uh? Uh, right! [He looks out of a window, but nothing is happening] I guess I'm just hearing things. [Then, it starts to rain] Huh? Hey, it's startin' to rain, guys. Now what?
BBrock
Well, we can't leave here right now. I guess we'll just have to spend the night.
You wanna spend the night in this place?
[determined] Sure, we'll all be fine. We're here together.
[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?
BBrock
Right, along with Crobat and Geodude.
And we get to see a Ludicolo too.
Your mom must be a really good cook just like you, huh, Brock?
BBrock
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?
BBrock
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?
[The title card comes up]
[voiceover] When Pokémon Worlds Collide!
[An electric-type attack frightens some Starly out of the forest. It is revealed to be coming from an Elekid who is standing next to its trainer, Paul, who will eventually become Ash's main rival in the Diamond & Pearl series]
Now go! Poké Ball! [Throws a Poké Ball which hits one of the Starly which manages to get away from being captured. The ball lands back in Paul's hand]
[Ash arrives]
Starly, over here. [Stops when he sees Paul]
ASAsh's Starly
Starly. [Right.] [Sits on Ash's left shoulder]
[Paul turns to him]
I'll thank you and your Starly to stay out of my way.
I didn't know anyone was out here but us. Really.
[Brock and Aipom join Ash and Starly]
BBrock
It must have been his Elekid that launched that electric attack.
Anyway, I've got a question for you. You haven't seen a girl with a Pikachu around here, have you?
No. You really think that Starly's good enough?
SStarly
Starly? [Say what?]
I watched you catch it. Don't you think you'd be a lot better off catching the best one you can?
You can tell which one's the strongest?
Of course. Look. [Throws three Poké Balls, each one containing a Starly]
PSPaul's Three Starly
Starly! [There's your proof!]
[Paul's three Starly land on the ground]
You must know you can scan Pokémon you catch with your Pokédex to check out what moves they can use, and that's just what I do. [Scans his three Starly with a black Pokédex] I figure if you do that from the beginning, it saves you a whole bunch of grief in the long run. OK, let's check out Aerial Ace. And the big winner is... [Returns all of his Starly, puts one away and speaks to the other two] Take a hike. I don't need you. [Releases the two Starly that he does not need anymore, thus making them wild Pokémon once again]
TPTwo of Paul's Starly
Starly! [Fine by us] [They fly away]
[Aipom, Ash, Starly and Brock approach Paul]
That's sure a weird way to treat Pokémon.
Hey, the only attacks those two knew were Tackle and Sand Attack, so they wouldn't be much use anyway.
Know what I think? Any Pokémon can be strong if you train them.
What are you laughing at?
You'll find out. So, want a battle?
Three on three is the best way to see what type of Pokémon a trainer is good at working with and what kind of balance they've got.
I know, but I've only got two.
SStarly
Starly. [You'll have to wait.]
You've got to be kidding. Talk about pathetic. [to Elekid] Elekid, let's get going.
EElekid
Beep-beep. [Let's.] [Walks off with Paul]
Uh. [crossly] Man, I wish Pikachu was here.
[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.
BBrock
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?
BBrock
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]
BBrock
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.
Brock, what do you think?
BBrock
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.
[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]
[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.
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!
Pika? [What's with Croagunk?]
[The camera pans left for Brock who is cooking some breakfast with Croagunk beside him]
BBrock
See, you're witnessing a typical morning for this crazy family, but you'll get used to it!
Croag. Croag. Croag. [I suppose so.]
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?!]
BBrock
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]
[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?!
BBrock
[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!
[The title card comes up]
[voiceover] Mutiny in the Bounty!
[The episode opens with Ash, Dawn and Brock walking up a hill]
Continuing their journey to Floaroma Town, and Dawn's next Pokémon contest, our heroes are about to be treated to a most amazing sight.
[The sight turns out to be a house with a cone on top and a field full of flowers]
Whoa! What a beautiful field of flowers!
Yeah, and in the bright sunlight, they look like they're on fire!
[Then, a Salamence flies above them]
[Dawn scans the Salamence with her Pokédex]
DSDawn's Pokédex
Salamence, the Dragon Pokémon. As a result of a powerful desire to fly, Salamence were able to trigger the cells in their body and cause them to grow wings.
[We see someone on the Salamence's back]
[Then we see a girl named Melodi and her Gardevoir tending to some flowers]
Wow. Someday these little flowers will bloom like crazy!
GGardevoir
[admiring] Gardevoir.
[Then the Salamence and its rider landed down in front of them]
[The rider jumps off the Salamence to reveal to be a woman]
HJHunter J
Target identified.
HJHunter J
Ariados! [takes her Pokeball] String shot! [tosses her Pokeball]
[Her Ariados pops out and fired its String Shot and Melodi screamed as she got tied to a tree]
[Ash, Dawn and Brock run to Melodi's house]
HJHunter J
I'll take Gardevoir. [she aims her wrist gun to Gardevoir]
[It uses Teleport to vanish]
HJHunter J
Using Teleport, eh? [she activates her goggles and looks around] Sensing Teleport location. [she got nothing till she spotted her target appearing] There we go. You should be grateful Gardevoir. Your beauty will be preserved for eternity! [she aims her gun as Gardevoir appears and then she fires]
[Gardevoir got hit]
[Gardevoir turned to stone]
HJHunter J
Mission accomplish. Transporting target now!
[Then a truck with six wheels came out of nowhere and drove to her location as a device platform came out of it and it went under the petrified Gardevoir and sealed in in a container and it was floated inside of the truck as it drives away]
[Ash, Dawn and Brock Arrived]
[Hunter J got on her Salamence with her Ariados and flew away]
I'm alright, but please help me get Gardevoir back!
[Hunter J's ship flies off]
[Then Officer Jenny arrives on her motorcycle along with her Arcanine]
[looking up] She got away!
BBrock
So, you were following her, too?
Yes. When I heard she was here, I came as soon as I could, but too late. She didn't get any of YOUR Pokémon...?
BBrock
Hold on. Who is she?
[presents a WANTED poster of the woman] Her name is J and she's got a fearsome reputation as a Pokémon Hunter!
The worst you can get! [A flashback begins] They catch Pokémon just so they can turn around and sell them.
[voiceover] You mean for money?
[voiceover] Yes. They can be hired ahead of time to capture a certain Pokémon, or if they think they found a Pokémon of exceptional value, they'll catch it anyway.
HJHunter J
[to a Teddiursa] I won't hurt you. You're much too valuable for that. [The Teddiursa she has spoken to starts banging on the jar it is standing in]
[voiceover] And she has her own special method for stealing Pokémon as well. Ruthless.
[The flashback ends as the Teddiursa turns to brown]
It sure is. She's the worst.
I can't stand it! And I'm not going to take it. She won't steal another Pokémon. [to the camera] And I'm going to get my Pikachu back - or else!
