Scenes with Misty 126
[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.]
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?!
MMisty
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.
WWoman
Alright, Lanturn, they're coming! Let's get ready!
LLanturn
Baa! Baaaa..... [It jumps into the water and uses Supersonic, acting as a doppler.]
WWoman
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!
WWoman
Please, be quiet! Or I won't be able to hear them when they speak!
[As the radar keeps pinging, a group of some kind of Pokémon can be heard singing.]
MMisty
It sounds... more like they're crying.
WWoman
It's the song of travel.
[The song and the radar grow louder.]
[The radar shows ten figures, marked by stars, traveling toward the dock.]
WWoman
Yes, they'll be here soon! Lanturn, look! Here they come!
[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.]
[The Lapras all sing in greeting.]
WWoman
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!
MMisty
It's trying to tell you something.
[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!
[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.]
[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!
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?
MMisty
Not so fast, Ash...
Have you even looked at the Guide Book yet?
ABAsh, Brock and Misty
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?
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?
MMisty
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!
Heheheheh! Still got that naïve enthusiasm, I see! [obviously, this riles up Ash and Pikachu]
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!
MMisty
Wow. He's sure feeling pretty confident...
I don't care! I'm putting him in his place once and for all!
[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.]
GMr. Goodshow
Hm? It's Ash, Brock, and Misty!
MMisty
Why are you here giving out balloons, Mr. Goodshow?
GMr. 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!
GMr. Goodshow
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?
GMr. Goodshow
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!
[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!
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!
MMisty
I'm so happy for him!
AMAsh and Misty
[noticing Gary's picture] Ohh!
MMisty
There's Gary, too!
Yeah, and what about me? [he sees himself on the screen.] Ah!
Misty You're right in there with Gary! That's great!
Yeah, for now, 'til I blow past him to the victory!
ABAsh, Brock and Misty
Huh?
GMr. Goodshow
I wonder, will it all go that easily?
MMisty
What exactly do you mean by that?
GMr. Goodshow
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!
MMisty
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.
GMr. Goodshow
That's what I'm telling ya! So! Good luck!!
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!
AAnnouncer
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.]
MMisty
They've got to use the Sacred Flame!
[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.]
Delia [who is watching from home with Mimey] Oh!
AAnnouncer
Carrying the torch is Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town!
My stars! Now, how did Ash get that torch?!
AAnnouncer
The Sacred Ho-Oh Flame, from the same Legendary Pokémon that was said to have quelled the battle...
AAnnouncer
...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.]
[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.]
[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...?
MMisty
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!
ABAsh, Brock and Misty
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!
Hey there, buddy! How've you been?
MMisty
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!
MMisty
[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!
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!
MMisty
Well, that doesn't surprise me!
[The giant monitor shows Harrison being paired up against an unknown boy for his first match.]
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.]
[Brock and Misty both gasp.]
ABAsh, Brock and Misty
[turning toward Gary] Huh?
Your Silver Conference experience is going to be a short one! I hope you had fun.
[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.]
[Ash, Brock, Misty, Pikachu, and Togepi are eating breakfast after a sleepless Ash became agitated over which Pokémon to use against Gary.]
MMisty
So, what type of Pokémon does Gary have the most of?
[munching on a sandwich] Toge!
Brock Gary's got all kinds. He doesn't really favor one type!
MMisty
All different types?! He really is a chip off the old Oak block!
Not only that, they're all first class and in tiptop shape, so he must've rotated them a lot!
He did. He's been that way for as long as I've known the guy.
And since he doesn't prefer one particular Pokémon over another, it'll be a different story than battling someone like Misty with all one type, so putting your team together is crucial.
[An anxious Ash looks up towards the sky, where large wings can be seen as a cloud reveals them.]
Huh? [The wings are revealed to belong to Ash's ace, Charizard!] Hey, look guys!
[Charizard roars.]
[dancing for joy] It's Charizard!! [He laughs in triumph, but then groans as he is greeted as usual by Charizard's Flamethrower, being turned into soot and falling over, but because Ash is Ash, he survives anyway.]
Uh-huh. I made a phone call to Liza late last night.
Am I glad to see you! Thanks! You sure came at a great time!
[Charizard roars happily]
Huh? [Gary appears to greet him right before the match, leading them to begin a stare-off.]
[The two just look at each other for a few moments before greeting each other.]
[begrudgingly] Good morning.
[The staring contest intensifies, until a cheerful Professor Oak shows up who previously watched Ash's matches on TV.]
Rivals, now they meet, / Gary, Ash to compete.
Professor, thank you! Thank you!
It is the Victory Tournament! I just had to see it live!
My, my, my! You two will be facing off, eh?
Well, lighten up and relax, you two. If you both keep acting this tense, by tomorrow, you won't even be able to compete!
[smiling] Guess you're right.
[Pikachu, Togepi, Psyduck and Politoed are cheering on Ash as Misty and Brock sit in anticipation for the battle to begin.]
AAnnouncer
The second match in this first round will be a battle between two trainers of the same age and from the same hometown: Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town, and Gary Oak, also from Pallet Town!
GSGary's Cheerleaders
Gary, Gary, he's our man! If he can't do it, no one can! Gary!
MMisty
Oh, good. Gary's cheerleading team is back.
[completely smitten, because why not] And not a moment too soon! What a smorgasbord of beauty!
[Misty reacts unamused to this, of course.]
AAnnouncer
Gary is the grandson of well-known Pokémon expert Professor Oak!
[Oak notices the camera and clearly does not want to be seen. Delia, however, throws up a peace sign with a wide smile on her face.]
And Ash has earned himself quite a reputation as well by achieving the best 16 at the Indigo Plateau! [Who knows how far he would've gone if Charizard didn't have obedience issues...]
Folks, it would not be understatement to say this will be one of the finest matches you'll see anywhere! Fasten your seatbelts; this battle is about to begin! Let's see what battlefield they'll be fighting on!
[The wheel flashes through the four battlefields a few times before stopping on the rock battlefield.]
And it's a rock field!
[The crowd chatters in awe as the plain battlefield covering opens to bring up a very rocky battlefield, which will make for lots of strategic plays.]
AAnnouncer
It's time to decide who takes the first move!
SSpectator
Go, Gary! I went to school with Gary, you know.
[The wheel alternates between green, Ash's side, and red, signifying Gary, who are portrayed to the viewer as the good and evil side, respectively, before stopping on a red wedge, giving Gary the opening move.]
AAnnouncer
And the first move goes to Gary Oak! What Pokémon will he use first?
MMisty
I figured Gary would start out in a big way!
That's just fine with me! Go, Tauros!
AAnnouncer
Gary has chosen to start out with his Nidoqueen, and Ash with Tauros!
[Ash's Heracross has just knocked out Gary's Magmar, leaving both trainers with one Pokémon down.]
I guess it's time to show 'em my best! Deal with this, Ashy Boy! Mwah! [he kisses the Poké Ball, which must mean this Pokémon means quite a lot to him...] Blastoise! I choose you!
AAnnouncer
Gary's choice for third Pokémon is Blastoise!
MMisty
Brock, could that be...
The same Squirtle that Gary originally received from Professor Oak? Yeah, that's the one.
It looks like Gary is anxious to finish this up here and now! Blastoise IS the most powerful Pokémon Gary has.
[Ash and Misty's Pokémon amp up their cheering, knowing of Blastoise's threat to Ash's path to victory over his rival.]
Okay, Heracross! Use Fury Swipes!
HHeracross
[charging] Heracross!
BBlastoise
Blas...toise! [A powerful Hydro Pump is fired from its cannons, and a shot of the two Pokémon and their Trainers clashing is shown as the episode draws to a conclusion.]
There have been plenty of turnovers in this match already, so the ultimate victor is anyone's guess! But to find out the winner, stay tuned!
[The "TO BE CONTINUED" text appears.]
[Gary's Blastoise has knocked out Ash's Bayleef, leaving him with three Pokémon left while his rival still has five.]
Gary is pretty impressive... but so are we!
AAnnouncer
Ladies and gentlemen, we'll take a five-minute intermission here, giving Ash time to regroup after losing three of his Pokémon.
[pleading] Pika-pi! Pikachu, Pikachu!
Hey, Pikachu, what is it?
Ash, I think it's asking if it can battle!
MMisty
Well, it makes sense. Gary IS using a Water Pokémon.
I wish I could, buddy, but I'm only allowed to use the Pokémon I registered before the match.
[in protest] Pika!! [He crosses his arms.]
Those two battling so fiercely has got my stomach in knots!
Gary was always the confident one taking the lead with Ash right behind, struggling to keep up with him!
He may not admit it, but I think that Gary considers Ash his most important friend of all.
I think Ash feels the same way!
[A buzzer sounds, signaling the end of the intermission.]
[The title card comes up]
[voiceover] Alola, Kanto!
[Samson, Professor Kukui and his class have arrived at an airport in the Kanto region)
Hope we get to see a Vileplume.
Oh, no. Something wrong, Snowy?
[weakly] Vul... [Lillie picks it up]
Poor dear... Now what should I do?
FVFamiliar voice
Excuse me. Your Vulpix...
[The camera cuts to Brock who is carrying a black case]
Would you mind if I examine it? See, I'm actually studying to become a Pokémon doctor.
That would be great. We got off the plane, when all of a sudden...
Leave it to me. [Kneels down to attend to Snowy]
[Meanwhile, a disguised Team Rocket arrive carrying their luggage]
Ugh, this is so depressing.
Going through all this to get to headquarters.
[angrily] So why do we have to take orders from that bob-cut-and-glasses gal, anyway?
We'll get more lectures than all of my school years combined.
[to Matori who is inside a hexagonal bubble] Go away. Go away. GO AWAY!
Hey, no sweat. If we give Loser Locks this honey malasada, she's sure to get in a good mood. [disappointedly agrees] Yeah, like that's gonna work.
[Meanwhile, Snowy is being examined by Brock]
Just as I suspected. Just a little air sickness.
[The camera cuts to Professor Kukui, Samson and the rest of the class]
I wonder what's keeping Lillie.
[Then, they see Lillie with Brock]
Huh? Whoa! Is that Brock?!
[runs to Brock with Pikachu] Heyyy! Brock!
[But then, Brock sees a flight attendant lady passing by]
[lovestruck] Whoa! [Runs past Ash and Pikachu causing them to spin]
Ahh... Such a lovely flight attendant in all her radiance. [Takes out a bouquet of flowers] It would be paradise if we flew the lovely skies together! Chasing clouds with you... Soaring... on love's wings. [Gets pulled by the ear by someone's hand] Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-OW!
[We see that the person grabbing Brock's ear is Misty]
MMisty
All right. I come all the way to pick you up at the airport, and this is the thanks I get?!
MMisty
[releases her grip and waves to Ash] Hey Ash! How have you been doing?
Pika-pika! [Jumps into Misty's arms]
MMisty
Long time, no see, Pikachu!
[As the original trio search for Lana's Popplio]
Misty, you sure haven't changed a bit.
Brings back memories. I mean, how the three of us used to travel together [throughout Kanto and Johto]. We did lots of things and had lots of fun.
MMisty
Although, not everything was fun.
I enjoyed every moment of our journey.
MMisty
I'm a little jealous of how carefree you are. [Remember, Misty had to resume duties at her Cerulean Gym at the end of Johto, while Brock stopped travelling with Ash at the end of Sinnoh, as he plans on becoming a Pokemon doctor. It is nice that we get to see Ash's original companions after years of their absence, not counting flashbacks or fantasy sequences.]
MMisty
The Cerulean Gym has the Cascade Badge.
And this badge is proof of victory at the Pewter Gym, the Boulder Badge.
[The class all stares in awe]
[to Ash] You won all the badges from the Kanto region, didn't you, Ash?
Sure did! You can win eight Badges and I won them all.
MMisty
In my case, I gave him my badge out of pity! [Actually, Misty's sisters gave him the badge for stopping Team Rocket from stealing the Cerulean Gym Pokémon]
Say, that story has a familiar ring. [Brock gave Ash the badge despite Ash forfeiting his match due to not wanting to win through cheating]
Hey Ash, what's that supposed to mean?
[nervously laughing before backing off] And after you collected all eight badges, you can compete in the Pokémon League! [This is hinted that Ash did not seem proud of earning these badges out of pity nor what he was like in the past]
Attention, please! I'm happy to say that we have guests today!
RLThe rest of Lana's classmates and Pokemon
Huh?
[As promised by the writers, Misty and Brock enter the classroom]
BMBoth Misty and Brock
Alola!
MMisty
Long time, no see!
