[Later, the sun is setting and outside the Hearthome City Stadium, Paul releases Chimchar]
Chimchar! Char... [Wait! Please...]
Paul? So, that's the end of all that special training?
Yeah, that's right. What's the point?
[Walking past Ash, Dawn and Brock] Obviously I need to get a new fire-type. [This is an obvious a foreshadow to his Magmar/Magmortar]
You're giving up Chimchar?
DDawn
What happened to the two of you getting stronger together?
All of that progress, and you're throwing it away? [He, Ash and Dawn turn to Chimchar] Hm?
Oh...? [Walks sadly away from Ash and the others]
Pika, Pika... [He and Ash watch as Chimchar walks sadly away]
Hmm... [cheerfully] Hey, Chimchar, come with us!
Chim? [What do you want?]
[Ash, Pikachu and Turtwig go up to Chimchar]
Of course. We'll have a blast and work hard!
Pika, Pika! [Come join the crew!]
Turtwig, Turtwig! [There's room for you here!]
[Chimchar turns to Ash while Dawn and Brock watch]
The old saying goes - when one door closes, another door opens. Friends reach out to friends and a brand new opportunity is born. So, now with an invitation from our heroes to share their journey, just what lies in store for Chimchar?
[The title card comes up]
[voiceover] Smells Like Team Spirit!
[Ash is inviting Chimchar to join his team as Dawn, Piplup, Brock and Paul watch]
[The camera zooms in on Ash and cuts to Paul who is watching crossly]
[The camera cuts to Chimchar and then fades to Ash. It then cuts to Dawn and Brock]
You see, the way you give it all you got is awesome. I'd love working with a tough Pokémon like you.
[To Ash and Chimchar] You deserve each other.
DDawn
Why, that's an awful thing to say, Paul!
Chimchar and I are going to show Paul just how wrong he can be.
Chim? [The camera cuts to Ash and then, back to Chimchar] Char...
[The title card comes up]
[voiceover] Tears for Fears!
[One day, Brock is cooking up lunch and Pikachu and Piplup are already smelling it. The camera cuts to a high cliff by a river where at the top, Ash and his friends are having lunch]
With the Eterna City Pokémon Contest and tag battle behind them, our heroes set their sights on Veilstone City and Ash's next gym battle.
Come on, Brock. Lunch ready yet?
[yells at Ash] IT'D BE DONE A LOT SOONER IF YOU'D HELP OUT A LITTLE!
DDawn
Brock's right, you know. Do something. [Lays out the towel]
Fine. [Sends out his Pokémon] Hey, guys? Let's help them out!
ASAsh's Pokémon
Yeah!
DDawn
Cool. Great idea. Let's go, everyone! [Sends out her Pokémon]
It's lunch for 12. [Sends out his Pokémon]
[The camera cuts to Dawn laying out a pink blanket with Turtwig and Staravia while Chimchar watches)
DDawn
Now, spread it out nice and flat.
[Chimchar turns to Brock cooking the lunch and giving a bowl of soup to Sudowoodo. Meanwhile, Ash is handing out the tins of Pokémon food like he has done for Pachirisu and Buizel while Happiny and Buneary place the bowls on the blanket. Pikachu and Piplup are helping organise the table but then, Chimchar starts remembering the times when Paul used to feed him]
Hurry up. [Chimchar starts eating his food] We're way behind on training.
Chimchar? Hey, what's wrong? '[The camera cuts to him eating his soup at the table] You must be hungry. Go ahead and eat. [Pets Chimchar] Oh, man. No one makes a great lunch the way Brock does. [Eats some soup] Man, is this good!
[Team Rocket are in their Meowth balloon]
Scary, but not too smart.
Spiritomb's as feisty as an Aura Guardian.
Every time we're close to plucking Pikachu, our eyes get too big.
Huh? [Sees Pikachu resting on the meadow below] Well, widen your eyes now.
[off camera] Pikachu! Taking a snooze in the meadow, are we?
With nary a twerp in sight to cause trouble!
Excuse me, 'twas because of my brilliant strategy, not luck.
JMJames & Meowth
Please...
[The Meowth balloon lands on the meadow and Team Rocket get out to try and grab Pikachu, but they fall into a pitfall trap]
What's with the pit trap?
[Ash, Dawn, and Brock begin their own version of Team Rocket's motto.]
Listen, is that bad guy talk I hear?
DDawn
It speaks to me loud and clear.
[yells at Ash, Dawn, Brock and the Old Woman] IT'S THAT KIND OF IMITATION THEY INVENTED LAWSUITS FOR!
DDawn
Chill out. We couldn't care less about you.
We're looking for Spiritomb!
[Spiritomb appears behind Team Rocket]
Huh? [They turn back to see Spiritomb]
DDawn
Who are the twerps now?
I won't be treated like a piece of garbage.
I think it's time for those twerps to reap what they sow.
[Team Rocket get out of the pit and turn to Spiritomb]
Your Highness, if it's total unmerciful revenge you want, have I got the perfect sap for you.
[about Ash] That twerp with the perched Pikachu is a descendant of the Aura Guardian who sealed you in that crazy Keystone.
[Spiritomb groans and uses Hyper Beam on Dawn, Brock, Ash and the woman who dodge it]
All right, Spiritomb, sure, I'll battle you.
OWOld Woman
You must lure it to the broken Stone Tower!
[to Spiritomb] Okay, come get me. [Runs off]
DDawn
What's up, Leona? Something wrong?
I know our hot spring water like the back of my hand. The way it smells and looks, and this water's the same!
[Leona dips her hand in the water to check it out]
I knew it! It feels the same, too!
DDawn
Obviously your Swinub agree.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I THINK, I THINK YOU TAPPED INTO OUR PIPE WITHOUT PERMISSION!
[Turtwig’s attacks miss the Gliscor and Gligar]
Okay, return! [returns his Pokémon]
DDawn
Everybody! [returns her Pokémon]
[returns his Pokémon, except Turtwig] Brock, Dawn, you okay?
DDawn
But who are those Pokémon?
DDawn
Wow, I gotta see this.
[Ash and Dawn open their Pokédexes]
DPDawn’s Pokédex
Gligar, the FlyScorpion Pokémon. It glides using the membrane attached to its arms and legs, and attacks the face of its prey with its claws.
APAsh’s Pokédex
Gliscor, the Fang Scorp Pokémon, and the evolved form of Gligar. It watches its prey as it hangs from trees by its tail and attacks from above when it sees the chance.
[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?!
DDawn
[drags Gligar off of Ash] Why didn't you go with your friends?
[winks and licks its lips affectionately] Gli.
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!
DDawn
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.
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!
DDawn
Fashion? Since when?
