Great battle, Ash! Your Pokémon absorbed that Thunder with no fear of damage to themselves. [Yet it's a bizarre method]
My sister and I have both learned a lot just from watching you battle.
I guess we still need to work on our combinations more, huh? [Tate nods his head in agreement]
Come on, you guys almost had me with all those combination attacks right from the beginning.
Yeah, your coordination was pretty good once you two got in sync. [This is one of Tate and Liza's flaws in their battlestyle]
I can see how you two became the Gym Leaders here.
BTBoth Tate and Liza
Oh, wow, thanks.
[to Tate] Well, do you have something for Ash, Tate?
Yep. [He opens up the small box in his hand to deliver Ash his 7th Hoenn Gym badge.]
This is a Mind Badge, proving that you were victorious at the Mossdeep Gym.
I'm assuming this Lombre belongs to one of you all.
How perceptive of you my dear! The Lombre is mine! My name! It's Brock! Tell me. What's yours?
Oh, well my name is Samantha.
Sanantha! A name that stands for a thousand Pokémon! The "S" stands for the sweetness of a Swablu, "A" for the evolved abilities of the awesome Altaria!
MMax
OK, at least we all know you can spell.
It looks to me like my Mawile's got a crush on your Lombre.
What do you think me guy? Huh? Huh?
Samantha, scuse me, a sensitive appears that our Pokémon are so deeply in love. Perhaps you and I should set an example of what true love is really love!
MMax
You mean what true weird is really love?
EElisa
You must leave here at once. This is dangerous place and you are trespassing.
My name's Brock, beautiful. You must have a name, too, right?
EElisa
If you must know, the name's Elisa, and I'm a safety ranger.
Then, save me! Can't you see I'm falling? Like a rock off a cliff falling hopelessly in love with you!
MMax
Not quite. You hit bottom a long, long time ago.
Ah, you're so predictable.
Hear at least we switch up the motto sometime.
Fine! Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!
[cackling] Our Diglett supreme's a giant ground type, and besides the Thunderbolt didn't unique.
I'll show them. Let's go, Ludicolo!
MMax
Could you save the dancing for later, please?
[cackling again] Since our big Diglett supreme is a ground type, it's weak against water attack!
Meowth, wrong answer! Aah!
[thudding]
Welcome to another episode of May's expeditions, with Mystery May, who today along with her trusty friends, finds herself on an unexpected detour, far away from Pacifidlog Town and May's very next Pokémon contest. Instead, they wander remote down till island, where Donphan roll and humans pay the toll. Our heroes seem to have landed upon the island during the breeding season of the Donphan.
MMax
Surprised you're not freaking out.
That's why I'm doing this, so I don't freak out!
For the last time, no! I’m not going in there!
TTerry
Please Kyle, at least talk to him.
AMAsh and Max
Who's that?
[Terri enters with Kyle, who she is dragging by the wrist.]
[At the noodle restaurant, Master Hamm has made some bowls of noodles for his son Kyle, and Ash and his friends]
AMAsh, Max, May & Brock
Thank you, Master Hamm. [They taste their noodles]
This is just the flavour I remember.
Of course it is, son, I'm not about to let a whippersnapper beat me at my own noodle game. [Chuckles]
[Soon, Ash and his friends have left the restaurant with Kyle and his father waving goodbye]
So, Ash and friends, having finally gotten their fill of delicious noodles, head out of Saffron City, and make their way toward their next goal, the Battle Arena.
Pikachu, are you ready to go win our next Frontier Symbol? Ha.
[One moonlit night, Ash and his friends have gotten lost in a forest]
Oh, man. We're stuck now.
And now that the sun's gone down, it's getting pretty cold, too.
MMax
Yeah, and I don't see the Pokémon Centre on the PokéNav.
Those clouds are looking mean. We'd better find some shelter and fast before the storm's on top of us.
Huh? [Sees the clouds which are covering up the moon]
As Ash continues his quest to become master of the Battle Frontier, it seems our heroes have come across a proverbial bump in the road.
Wha? Hey, what's up, Pikachu?
Pika, Pika. [Goes running off]
Wait! Pikachu, come back here! Where are you goin'?
[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.
Well, whoever put it here must agree with you 'cause they all got up and left.
Wow, look! It's a ghost town.
[gasps] You're saying ghosts live here?
MMax
Not quite. It's called a ghost town 'cause no one's living in it anymore. Get it, May?
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]
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.
MMax
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.]
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!]
Yay! My precious egg's back where it belongs!
MMax
That's a relief! Great, May!
PPhanpy
Phanpy! [Agreed!]
[Lucy throws a pinwheel dart to the ground to silence her rude assistant, Barbara]
LLucy
Barbara, stop acting like a child.
Barbara: [surprised] Lucy... or say Queen Lucy...
[everyone is shock to see the Pike Queen]
MMax
Whoa, that's the Frontier Brain?
LLucy
The way you treat my guests is starting to get very old. I'm sorry. I hope you'll please to forgive my sister.
