[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.
MMay
Well, whoever put it here must agree with you 'cause they all got up and left.
Wow, look! It's a ghost town.
MMay
[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?
MMay
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]
MMay
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.
We are here for Elekid and Pikachu!
Hey, time out! [Meowth and Jessie stare at him in confusion. James carries the egg and exits the Golem mech and meets up with May holding Mime Jr.]
MMay
I'll trade you, okay.
BBoth
Here! [Seconds later, James got his Mime Jr. back and May gets her egg back]
BBoth
See you later! [both run back to their respective sides]
There, all's right with the world!
Mime, mime! [That's why it's worth the wait as well!]
MMay
Yay! My precious egg's back where it belongs!
That's a relief! Great, May!
PPhanpy
Phanpy! [Agreed!]
[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?
Right, along with Crobat and Geodude.
And we get to see a Ludicolo too.
MMay
Your mom must be a really good cook just like you, huh, Brock?
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?
Well, guess everybody's got to eat.
[Soon, they reach the gym in Pewter City which dramatically changed]
MMay
Your Pewter Gym is sure flashy.
It sure wasn't like this last time we were here, right, Brock?
Don't forget, you can dine all over the world, but you won't get my cooking!
MMay
Oh, now, Brock! It was awesome having your cooking again after so long!
Hey, May. Good luck with the rest of your Johto contests.
MMay
Thanks. And, Ash, lots of luck to you getting into the Sinnoh League!
Thanks! [Ash and May shake hands. The ship, with May onboard, then leaves the dock and heads into the sunset]
