Scenes with Team Rocket 67
OJOfficier Jenny
Officer, this is Officer Jenny. The torch is arriving soon, so I want everyone at your post right away.
That must be the score he was talking about!
Very nice, Jess. The Pokémon lead torch!
Well, what can I say when I'm hot, I'm hot.
You know the torch flame comes from a Moltres. Legendary Pokéfats would go nuts!
Someone will pay a fortune for that thing.
But someone ain't get me. We gonna steal it and give it to the boss. Imagine the boss riding into the office one lovely morning. He'll park his bike, look up, and wham! He'll see the torch lit by Moltres's flame shimmering above headquarters. "Ah, yes burning and bright, the fire from the legendary Pokémon Moltres lighting up my life!" Then, after drinking the cup of fresh torch brew coffee, and cooking up a delicious meal on his torch fire stove, he'll be soaking in his torch cheated personal jacuzzi. And guess what he's gonna say, "Meowth and his friends have given me a freak and I could ask for, so now I shall do the same for them!"
TRTeam Rocket
Everything! Life is cool! Life is cool! Boot your money means we rule! Wobbuffet!
I wouldn't met the force on it.
They're heading for the water!
Lose a motorcycle, gain a torch!
CGCharles Goodshow
You can't take our torch!
TRTeam Rocket
Prepare for trouble your logic is flawed! That's right possession's 9/10ths of the law! 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! James! Team Rocket torches the competition at the speed of light! Surrender now or prepare for a marathon fight! Meowth, that's right! Wobbbuh! Chiiiiime!
[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?
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.
When it comes to slipper fingers, she rules!
Unlike the looks department, where I rule.
Well, that dame and those traitors had the nerve to nab Pikachu, and I'm not going to take it! Let's knock her down a notch!
And once we're through working our magic, she'll beg to work for us!
[Team Rocket are enjoying their dinner]
Yay! Time for a sweet dinner treat that's fun to eat.
[A scream from nearby is heard]
It'd be more fun with a little heat.
Just try it, it's neat. Bon appetit.
MJMeowth & James
Bon appetit!
[They see Spiritomb coming towards them]
SSpiritomb
Spiritoooomb! [Uses Hyper Beam on Team Rocket]
TRTeam Rocket
[Screaming]
SSpiritomb
Spiritoooomb! [Uses Shadow Ball on Team Rocket who fall to the ground and then get up again]
[angrily] If we wanted them burnt, we would have burnt them! [Gets hit by the Keystone] Ow!
[Spiritomb flies off]
[groans] Who was that iron chef?
[checks the card in his left hand] Well, the cards claim it's called Spiritomb, and what conked you on the cranium was a Keystone. Though why it toasted our titbits is beyond me.
[Meowth eats his bit of food]
[Jessie and James laugh nervously, but then Jessie becomes furious]
[angrily] YOU'VE toasted your last roast, and now it's YOUR turn to get on the spit! Nobody messes around with MY meal!
[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?
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!
Chill out. We couldn't care less about you.
We're looking for Spiritomb!
[Spiritomb appears behind Team Rocket]
TRTeam Rocket
Huh? [They turn back to see Spiritomb]
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]
[Turtwig's Energy Ball successfully destroys Team Rocket's balloon]
[to Meowth] I wanted to net Gligar, not YOU!
I guess it's back ta scrounging for our own sandwiches.
And consistently empty stomachs translate into just one thing...
TRTeam Rocket
We're blasting off again!
[Ping!]
[To Turtwig] That was awesome. Now don’t forget how that felt.
[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]
TRTeam Rocket
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!
[after Gliscor slices the Gliscor Bot in half with Steel Wing]
TRTeam Rocket
"No, thank you!"
"Wow, Gliscor sure looks strong."
"Yeah, and in total sync with Ash."
[As the Gliscor Bot crashes down, Gliscor eagerly heads for Ash, who gasps in surprise]
"Gli!" [glomps Ash, muffling him and giggling] "Gliscor, Gliscor, Gli Gliscor."
"Guess old habits die hard."
[The three Psyduck use Water Gun on Chimchar, sending it back]
[about the three Psyduck] They're just too strong!
Okay, Chimchar, return! [Returns Chimchar to its Poké Ball]
Huh? [Looks up to Team Rocket who are standing at the top of the cliff, laughing at Ash's pathetic attempt] Team Rocket!
We've been monitoring your twerpish mayhem.
That trio of troublemakers seems to have you sad sacks stymied.
You're more yellow than they are!
So I guess you can do better than us?
As a matter of fact, our knowledgeable know-how could get you past them lickety-split.
Come on, you can't do that!
Since we're grown-ups, the word "can't" is not part of our vocabulary.
Really? Bet loser's part of it!
[Team Rocket falls to the ground and stands up again]
Cut stealing the punch line and watch this!
[They jump down into the valley and stand in front of the three Psyduck]
All righty, then, Meowth. Your move.
It's time to find your negotiation groove!
Hey, my pump is primed. Watch me sweet talk those three wacky worry warts! [Walks up to the Psyduck] Yo-yo! Look, it's been a long day for us non-twerps. Okay, so I don't exactly know what your deal is, but I really think making nice is the way to proceed. [The Psyduck get angry] I mean, there's no doubt you can hold your own in any brawl. Which leads me to ask you dudes a favour, if I may.
Are they negotiating, too?
Your guess is as good as mine.
Same with your guess as well.
With that power of yours, you could help us in our continuing quest to poach the twerp's Pikachu with the greatest of ease and without so much as breaking one drop of Psyduck sweat. Here's the payoff. Do that and there's some serious grub in it for you. A great deal if I ever heard one!
TPThe Three Psyduck
Psy! [They use Hidden Power on Team Rocket and send them blasting off into the sky]
What kind of negotiation was that?
TRTeam Rocket
We're blasting off again!
Ping!
They need to get a hobby or somethin'...
TRTeam Rocket
Crikey, it's a Kabutops!
It must be doing security for the Gym!
[Team Rocket, disguised as construction workers, are doing some work]
Move a little earth and earn a little money.
With honest work and an empty tummy.
[Meowth pushes a wheelbarrow full of rocks]
And nobody can say we've got rocks in our head.
Hm, we're plumping our pockets.
TRTeam Rocket
Because we're Team Rocket!
[A Whismur appears]
WWhismur
Whis! [Opens a manhole cover] Whismur! Whismur!
[Luxio and a male Nidoran jump down the manhole and so does Whismur who puts the manhole cover back in its place]
It's nice when primo Pokémon run right into our lap.
Especially when they're owned by twerpish saps.
And when it comes to having the right tool for the right job, I ain't no slob! Boo-yah! [Presses a button on the remote and a nearby excavator crane starts transforming into a mecha] Presenting the Earth-Moving Monster-Mashing Mecha 1!
[Team Rocket are now in their new mecha]
[The Earth-Moving Monster-Mashing Mecha 1 uses it left arm to grab Pikachu]
Pikachu! [Grabs Pikachu in the nick of time]
Ah! [Runs away from the mecha]
[Ash and Pikachu fall down the manhole. Meanwhile, Team Rocket laugh evilly]
Yeah, we eat manhole covers for lunch!
[The mecha's arm hits the ground as it grabs the manhole cover]
Wah! Hey, turn it loose! Don't bend it!
We didn't bring a can opener!
Now, Piplup, use Whirlpool!
Piplup! [Uses Whirlpool and launches it at the Earth-Moving Monster-Mashing Mecha 1]
TRTeam Rocket
Brain drain!
[The Earth-Moving Monster-Mashing Mecha 1 starts sinking in the waters of Canalave Harbour and explodes]
JJJessie & James
Those twerps are so mean!
[Team Rocket sees Grotle racing along the edges of the valley cliffs]
Hey, what's with the Sidewinder?
Does it have Velcro on its feet or something?
Grotle, Grotle, Grotle, Grotle.
[They confer with each other]
My sixth sense is telling me this is not cool.
Don't forget, that sticky green stinker can't touch us if we're flying high in our beautiful balloon.
[They take the balloon higher]
Off the throttle. Bye, dear Grotle!
TRTeam Rocket
Enjoy the view.
Grotle! [Jumps onto the grass above the valley and jumps high into the sky] Agh!
[Grotle races through the Meowth balloon, making it explode]
TRTeam Rocket
We're blasting off again! [Ding]
[The title card comes up]
[voiceover] Summer of Discovery!
[Team Rocket, dressed as chefs, are pushing trolleys of food when they see Ash and his friends with Professor Sycamore and his assistant, Sophie]
As we thought, the twerps did make the scene.
We hit that on the head. With the professor as host, their appearance was a must.
Let's take it slow. And at the right time, we'll whisk all their Pokémon away in one fair swoop.
Working to earn everyone's trust is a must.
MCMadame Catherine
YOU! [Team Rocket turn back to her]
Ah, Madame Catherine, you're right on time.
We're just getting our gourmet preparations underway now!
MCMadame Catherine
Good, no skimping, please. Keep in mind, Augustine's Trainers have giant appetites and just love to eat. Prepare a ton of food at least.
TRTeam Rocket
[saluting] Yes, ma'am!
MCMadame Catherine
And if they really like which you all cook, there might just be a little rice in store.
TRTeam Rocket
Ahhh! Yummy! [They bow their heads]
[Meanwhile, Ash and his friends are with Professor Sycamore and Sophie and Ash is concluding his story]
And that's what happened.
Mmmm. Wow! Great! What a marvellous experience. You met Mega Lucario?
Mega Evolution is as cool as it gets.
[A flashback featuring Mega Lucario begins]
[voiceover] Everything powers up, including the strength of their moves. It's awesome how strong they get.
[The flashback ends]
I wish I could've seen it too. So I guess you'll be battling Korrina and that powerful Mega Lucario at the Shalour Gym soon?
You bet! The stronger my opponent is, the more fired up I get. I'm gonna win that Gym badge for sure.
Well, I hope your stay here will be useful and marvellous at the same time.
[Soon, Sophie is showing Ash and his friends to one of the cabins situated at the Pokémon Summer Camp]
SSophie
This is the cabin you'll be staying in.
[with stars in her eyes] Mmmm, it's the cutest!
SSophie
Everyone will be split into teams. As you can see, your team is called "Team Froakie".
[Inside the cabin, Ash puts his backpack down as he, Pikachu, Clemont and Serena, check out the cabin. Bonnie and Dedenne, meanwhile, are sitting on the top bunk of a bed]
[Serena opens a window and checks out the sea]
Speaking of summer camp, does this bring back any memories of when you two first met each other?
Yeah, it does. Let's make it as much fun as when we were kids.
[In the bamboo forest, Team Rocket are harvesting bamboo shoots when Meowth sees a big one]
Bing, ba-da-boom. That baby's big.
[Then, Jessie notices the Ultra Guardians flying past]
[The Ultra Guardians land on the ground outside the bamboo forest]
Hey, look, it's the twerps.
And they're playing dress up today.
[Lana, Lillie and Mallow gather round with their Pokémon]
[Watching the Ultra Guardians] What's with those brats?! Complete with their ridiculous Ride Pokémon. I could just scream.
[The camera cuts to Ash and his classmates who are now surveying Celesteela]
[off camera] It looks like a big bamboo.
[off camera] Or a swollen wall hanging.
All right. Go, Beast ball! [Throws an Ultra Ball which tries to capture Celesteela, but it doesn't work]
RDRotom Dex
It didn't work.
[Pikachu, Poipole and Togedemaru inspect the open the Ultra Ball]
All right, again! [Throws an Ultra Ball which tries to capture Celesteela, but that doesn't work either] Not good.
Hmm. Maybe we can't catch it because it grew roots.
[While the Pokémon play together, Sophocles goes to examine Celesteela]
Let me check this out. [Scans Celesteela with his tablet and sees the results] Argh! Like Professor Burnett said, there's an incredible amount of gas inside.
We've got to do something before its rocket launches!
[The camera cuts to Team Rocket who are still watching from inside the bamboo forest]
You heard that, too, right?
That means we're looking at a rocket Pokémon.
Which no self-respecting Team Rocket member should be without.
That would be us, without a doubt.
TRTeam Rocket
There's nothing like a rocket Pokémon to make us scream and shout!
