[Team Rocket have crash landed next to a tree after their Meowth balloon deflated]
To get Pikachu, we need that key. The key's with Wobbuffet and Wobbuffet's gone.
All of a sudden, Wobbuffet's our key player.
[impersonating Wobbuffet] Wobbuffet!
I never thought I'd be saying this but I kind of miss the little blob...
Wobbuffet added that certain nothin'.
[impersonating Wobbuffet] Wobbuffet!
[The camera cuts to a knocked out Wobbuffet who is now in a speedboat. Ash, Misty and Brock are giving chase on the pavement beside the waterway]
Look! The twerps are here!
[The camera cuts to Ash, Misty and Brock]
[Ash, Misty and Brock look to see Team Rocket running along the other side of the waterway]
Listen to me, Wobbuffet! Hit the brakes! Just hit the brakes!
[However, Wobbuffet is still knocked out]
It's no use, Wobbuffet's out like a light!
I'm gonna have to get into that boat!
[Ash and Jessie jump into the speedboat. Jessie tries to kick Ash off, but Ash luckily ducks in time and starts to lose balance. Meanwhile, Wobbuffet regains consciousness]
Wobbu! [Turns to Ash and Jessie, but he accidentally breaks off the steering wheel] Wobbuffet!
Yes, but shouldn't that steering wheel be steering?
[Ash and Jessie start panicking]
Wobbuffet, pull the throttle back! It'll stop!
Wobbu! [Puts the throttle up, but the lever breaks, causing the speedboat to go faster as Ash and Jessie hang on for dear life. Meanwhile, Goneff is riding a motorcycle with three police cars in pursuit]
GGoneff
Hee hee hee hee hee. Next time, don't leave motorcycle running, flatfeet!
[Back on the waterway, Ash and Jessie see a Lapras paddle boat ahead of them]
We're gonna crash into it!
[The speedboat runs right up and over the Lapras paddle boat and goes flying, but Wobbuffet falls out of it]
WAAAAAA! [Lands on Goneff's motorcycle]
GGoneff
Oh, it's you, you double criss-crosser!
[Meanwhile, Ash and Jessie are heading straight for a bridge]
Wobbuffet's gone! Where did it go?!
Never mind that, look! I choose you, Totodile! [Sends out Totodile]
Hurry, Totodile, shoot your Water Gun against that bridge!
Totodile! [Uses Water Gun on the bridge support with a ladder, which brings the speedboat to a complete stop]
You were great, Totodile.
[The group have just viewed a movie trailer with Brad Van Darn, a man they met earlier]
BBrad
[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!
MMisty
Hey! Where's Togepi?
Yeah, Smoochum's gone, too.
And Pikachu's not here, either!
RSRobo Skiploom
Skiploom.
Smoochum! Smoochum! Smoochum! Smoochum! Smoochum!
RSRobo Skiploom
Skiploom.
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!
RSRobo Skiploom
Skiploom.
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?
[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?
MMisty
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.
MMisty
Hey, look over there.
[They look and see Janina scrubbing her Onix in a grey sand pit]
JJanina
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?
JJanina
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.
MMisty
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.
JJanina
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.
JJanina
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!
JJanina
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.
JJanina
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?
JJanina
Yeah, I'm pretty sure she's at the Shining Lighthouse down on the wharf.
[Misty and Brock race off to catch up with Ash]
JJanina
[to Onix] So, I guess I'll have to try listening to you a little bit better.
JSJanina's Onix
[responds]
[The Referee for the Whirl Cup tournament is announcing the rules]
Here are the rules of the match. Each trainer is allowed two Pokémon, and the first trainer to knock out both opposing Pokémon the winner.
MMisty
Well, I know who I'm starting with. Let the games begin! [Throws her Poké ball and out comes Poliwhirl]
MSMisty's Poliwhirl
Poli.
Poliwhirl, not bad. Then I'll use... [Throws his Poké ball and out pops Totodile]
AAnnouncer
Ash will be battling with Totodile while Misty puts Poliwhirl to the test!
[Totodile uses Water Gun]
MMisty
Okay, Poliwhirl, Bubble attack now!
[Poliwhirl jumps up to avoid Totodile's Water Gun attack]
MSMisty's Poliwhirl
Poli!
[Poliwhirl jumps into the water]
AAnnouncer
Poliwhirl has jumped into the water and is headed straight toward Totodile.
Alright, Totodile, here it comes. You have to get in the water, now!
[But Poliwhirl jumps out of the water]
MSMisty's Poliwhirl
Whirl! [Uses Bubble on Totodile]
[getting hit by Poliwhirl's bubbles] Dile, Dile, Dile!
[Totodile unleashes a big white circle]
MSMisty's Poliwhirl
Poliwhirl!
[The Bubble attack stops and Totodile has come out with dizzy eyes]
[Brock, Pikachu and Togepi are watching the battle as spectators]
[The crowd cheers]
AAnnouncer
Totodile is in trouble after that close range Bubble attack!
MMisty
Alright, Poliwhirl, use Double Slap!
[Poliwhirl starts to come down]
Dile. [Recovers from his dilemma]
MSMisty's Poliwhirl
Poliwhirl! [Uses Double Slap, but Totodile dodges it]
[Totodile uses Skull Bash on Poliwhirl]
AAnnouncer
Totodile's Skull Bash hits its mark!
MSMisty's Poliwhirl
Whirl! [Goes into one of the pillars and jumps back down, hence the saying "What goes up, must come down"]
[Landing on the platform] Toto!
AAnnouncer
But Poliwhirl comes back strong!
MMisty
Use Double Slap again!
Toto toto... [Uses Water Gun, but Poliwhirl dodges it and then lands on the platform] Dile!
MSMisty's Poliwhirl
Poliwhirl! [Double Slaps Totodile and sends him flying]
AAnnouncer
Poliwhirl's Double Slap sends Totodile flying!
[As the announcer talks, Totodile hits a pillar and falls back down onto the battlefield]
[Totodile gets up, but he is all out of sorts]
Dile, dile, dile, dile. [Collapses]
Totodile is unable to battle! Poliwhirl wins!
[The camera pulls out of the arena as Ash recalls Totodile]
AAnnouncer
Look like Double Slap did the trick! Misty and Poliwhirl win the first battle!
MMisty
We did it! We did it! I love you, Poliwhirl!
[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.
MMisty
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?
Yeah, along with four beautiful older sisters. But, that's not important.
MMisty
I wonder where she is. [Stands up] Huh? [Sees an Espeon running towards them] Look at that!
[Everyone else looks]
[The Espeon stops in front of Ash and his friends as a familiar voice is heard]
SSakura
[off camera] Misty!
[Espeon's Trainer, Sakura, approaches them]
SSakura
It's been, way too long.
MMisty
I was getting worried.
SSakura
Oh, sorry. I was just taking care of Espeon and it got late.
MMisty
That's okay, I didn't realise you had an Espeon.
SSakura
Yeah. My Eevee evolved into an Espeon.
[gets out his Pokédex] Wow, let me see.
ASAsh's Pokédex
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.
MMisty
So, it's a psychic type, 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.
MMisty
Sakura, that's so cool.
SSakura
Yeah, you're right. Now that Eevee evolved, we do. [to Espeon] Right, Espeon?
EEspeon
[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.
MMisty
Look! There it is!
What do you say we go check it out? Huh?
DDelaney
Keep it up, Poliwrath!
MMason
Hitmontop, hang in there!
[crowd shouting]
MMisty
Sounds like lots of fun!
MMason
Hitmontop, Triple Kick, now!
DDelaney
Dodge it, Poliwrath! [...] Now, Poliwrath, Double Slap!
Poliwrath and Hitmontop, huh?
MMisty
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.
DDelaney
Poliwrath, Submission, go!
MMason
Hang in there, Hitmontop! [...] Oh, no!
Wow! That was an amazing move!
But I thought only Fighting Pokémon use Submission.
MMisty
True, but Poliwrath acquired Submission Attack when it evolved from a Poliwhirl.
