[Ash, Iris and Cilan's Pokémon are on the roof of the runaway subway car when Pansage and Pikachu start attacking the Team Rocket chopper's hooks]
PPansage
Pansage! [Uses Bullet Seed on one of the chopper's hooks]
Pikachu! [Uses Thunderbolt on the other hook]
[Inside the cab of the first subway car, Team Rocket are watching what is happening]
They just don't know when to quit, do they?
[Meowth checks the monitor and sees a dot on the left catching up with the one on the right]
Huh? What's that? [Sees Ash, Iris, Cilan, Ingo and Emmet on the crew car which is being powered by Emmet's Eelektross] The twerps!
[outraged] Ugh! Oh, great. [The camera cuts to the chopper's hooks which are about to capture our heroes' Pokémon as Pikachu and Pansage try to destroy them] Dr Zager, twerps!
[off camera] Secure that car, quickly!
ZDr Zager
Quiet! This delicate operation requires finesse.
[On the roof of the second car, Snivy has begun attacking one of the chopper's hooks using Vine Whip. Then, she, Excadrill, Axew and Roggenrola see Ash and his friends with Ingo and Emmet aboard the crew car]
Hang on, guys, we're here!
[Dwebble, Pansage, Snivy, Roggenrola, Excadrill, Pikachu, Tepig and Axew are delighted to see their Trainers again, but the chopper's hooks are grabbing hold of the car. The camera then cuts to Cilan, Ash, Iris, Ingo and Emmet on the crew car]
We've got to do something fast!
[to Ingo and Emmet] I'm going to get on that train.
IIngo
But, Ash, that's too dangerous.
EEmmet
You could be hurt.
They've tried so hard, I've got to try and do something!
All of our Pokémon are depending on us!
EEmmet
Ingo, I completely understand what these kids are feeling. We're dedicated to protect the subway system, they're dedicated to protect their Pokémon, it's the same thing.
IIngo
I know exactly what you mean. And I think my partner will be able to help as well. Chandelure, all aboard! [Sends out Chandelure]
ISIngo's Chandelure
Chandelure.
Ingo, the lustre your Chandelure produces is simply beautiful!
[Ash scans Chandelure with his Pokédex]
ASAsh's Pokédex
Chandelure - the Luring Pokémon and the evolved form of Lampent. Chandelure uses its dancing flames to hypnotise opponents.
IIngo
Chandelure, use Psychic! Get everyone on the other subway car!
CChandelure
Chandelure! [Uses Psychic on Cilan, Ash and Iris]
CACilan, Ash & Iris
Whoa!
And with such a warm, gentle glow!
IIngo
Full speed ahead! [Points to the car on the other side of the railway tracks]]
[Chandelure uses Psychic to transfer Cilan, Ash and Iris to the car that their Pokémon are standing on]
Pika-pi! [Jumps into Ash's arms]
I'm sorry we took so long.
[Iris picks up Axew and hugs him]
[Ash and his friends have happily reunited with their Pokémon]
Everyone's all right. Great!
[Both Snivy and Emolga's Attract cancel each other out as they are both females!]
[surprised] You're right! By any chance, does your Snivy happen to be a female?
[looking completely embarrassed] Argh, of course! I totally forgot!!
[Cut to Iris, Cilan, Pikachu and Axew with disbelieving expressions and face-fault.]
Iris [eyebrow twitching]: How many times will it take for Ash to learn that Attract doesn't work between girls!?
Good question, although this is Ash after all!
[Pikachu and Axew sitting with their backs against each other, sweatdropping]
Pika-Pikachu... [My trainer is an idiot!]
[It gets worse...]
So who cares? Electric-type moves aren't very effective on Grass type Pokemon anyway.
Elesa [smiling indulgently]: I think you've forgotten something, Ash.
Emolga may be an Electric-type, but remember it's a Flying-type as well.
That's right! Flying-type moves are super effective against Grass-types...[freaks out immediately] OH MAN, SNIVY'S A GRASS-TYPE POKÉMON!! [Really Ash? How can you screw up this BAD?!]
[One day, some Pidove are flying in the sky as the camera pans down on a Pokémon Centre]
En route to Ash's next gym battle challenge in Driftveil City, our heroes have stopped at a Pokémon Centre for a bit of rest.
[Inside the Pokémon Centre, Ash is petting Pikachu]
Pika! [Squeals contentedly] Pikachuuu.
True. It's a pleasure to witness a perfect match between Trainer and Pokémon.
Okay. [Touches the zip on his backpack]
Huh? You want more? Okay, buddy. You asked for it. [He laughs as he tickles Pikachu on the head]
How's that? Gotcha! Gotcha! Gotcha!
RRobert
[pointing to Pikachu] Check that out.
[A photographer named Robert has arrived]
RRobert
Tell me, is that your Pokémon?
RRobert
Can I take a picture?
RRobert
Great, thanks. [Takes some photographs of Pikachu with his camera] Perfect. Amazing. It's a real Pikachu.
RRobert
Priceless. [The camera cuts to Ash and then pans down to Pikachu] Uh... Awesome.
RRobert
There. The perfect shot. [Takes another photo of Pikachu]
[The title card comes up]
[voiceover] The Lonely Deino!
[Ash scans the Deino that has just appeared]
ASAsh's Pokédex
Deino, the Irate Pokémon. Because Deino never stops biting anything it can, it is dangerous to approach without taking precautions.
D1Deino 1
Deino! [Runs off and crashes through some rocks]
Deino's a Dragon-Type, so leave it to me. [Approaches Deino] Deino, hi!
D1Deino 1
Deino! [Uses Headbutt on Iris who then lands on Axew]
Huh? [Sees two more Deinos eating the group's lunch] Not another Deino.
Oh, they're gobbling up all our food!
[crossly] Nothing ticks me off more than stealing my food!
[Pikachu lunges at the two Deinos but the Deinos run away. Then, one of them bounces on him]
Use String Shot, Swadloon, and catch those Deino quick!
SSwadloon
Swadloon! [Uses String Shot, but it misses the two Deinos, one of which uses Headbutt on Ash]
You just calm down! [Tries to catch the other Deino but fails]
[Meanwhile, the other Deino that Cilan tried to stop jumps on Stunfisk, making it blubber. Then, the two Deino hide in a bush and giggle]
Interesting! You want me to catch you, right? Okay.
[Ash and Pikachu get in Iris' way]
I want to catch one, too. Don't be selfish.
Come on! This was my idea. What a kid.
[With Roxie's Scolipede out of the match...]
Only one Pokémon left, Roxie. Three against one.
BJBilly Jo
I wouldn't be so cocky, if I were you. Look. [Pignite is still poisoned and is taking damage.] You're Pignite is not exactly having a party.
Here, a present. [tosses a Pecha Berry for Pignite to eat.] Everything's cool. It's a Pecha Berry.
Why would Roxie give Pignite a Pecha Berry when she knows it cures poisoned Pokémon?
[Luckily, Pignite is now cured from its poisoned state.]
PPignite
Pignite. [Much better.]
It wouldn't be any fun battling against a poisoned opponent when my third Pokémon energy level is at 120%. This is rock and roll and you gotta pay hard to play hard! [Remember, Roxie is also a punk rock star and has to put on a good show especially during Gym Battles, hence why she gave Pignite a Pecha Berry. Wonder if she does this stunt with other challengers?]
[Iris, Cilan and Axew are revealed to be wearing face-paint and colorful panchos]
Don't give up! You can't give up! Let's go! You're just getting started!
AAxew
Axew-ew! [Get moving, Ash!]
She's right! It's time for you to stir the stockpot! Win this with some of Ash spirit! [Both Iris and Cilan hit the drums as loud as they could]
Cilan, Iris, Axew. Okay, we're gonna battle til the very end!
That's your choice. Use Venoshock!
[Garbodor complies only to get paralyzed by the electrocution! You know what that means...]
BJBilly Jo
It's paralyzed?!
NNicky
Yo, what's going on?!
What's going on is Static!
Pikachu's Special Ability is Static. Garbodor became paralyzed when it hit Pikachu with Double Slap.
Arrggh! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! Get a grip, Garbodor! [Like that's going to help Garbodor out of his paralysis, Roxie.]
[The episode begins with the ship leaving Honey Island as Ash and his friends watch from behind the fence which has a green railing]
Continuing their cruise to the Kanto region, our heroes now leave Honey Island behind them, and head for their next adventure.
I wonder what Pokémon we'll see on the next island. I'm so psyched.
The ocean breeze is so nice. It's wonderful.
It's going to be a long ride until the next port, so we've got lots of time to enjoy.
PPorter
How about this? There is the Marine Cup Tournament you could enter.
When did you get here? I thought the ship we saw you on yesterday had left the port already.
PPorter
That's right, I'm this ship's porter. You saw my cousin Porter on yesterday's ship.
I see. It's just like Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy.
So, tell us more about that Marine Cup Tournament.
[Porter shows them Ash and his friends to the battlefield aboard the ship]
PPorter
Sure. It's where passengers engage in Pokémon battles all vying to be the top prize winner.
That sounds great. I'd like to enter!
There is no better way to evaluate a battle than while sampling the delicious breeze the ocean will serve up.
PPorter
All right, then I'll make all the arrangements. And don't miss the Ripple Collection. Mrs. Ripple's exhibit will be displayed in the ballroom for everyone to see, as soon as the tournament ends.
PPorter
Yes. Ah, that's her right over there. [Points with his hand to Mrs. Ripple, a lady who is dressed smartly in pink]
Her face looks awfully familiar to me.
PPorter
I'm sure you've seen her on TV before. Mrs. Ripple is one of the most famous gem collectors in the Unova region.
RMrs Ripple
Something wrong? Come here, Purrloin.
Purrloin? [Mrs Ripple's Purrloin walks into the scene, surprising Cilan] That's right! She's the gem collector who has a Purrloin. I knew there was a reason I remembered her.
RSMrs Ripple's Purrloin
Purrloin, Purr.
[A Dunsparce has just flown away, leaving Ash dismayed]
I would guess the chances of finding that Dunsparce again are slim to none.
I guess you're right. [Turns to look at Iris crossly] If Axew hadn't gotten in the way, I would've been able to catch that Dunsparce!
WHAT? You're blaming Axew?! For your information, it was all your fault for starting a battle without making a plan FIRST!
That's because it wouldn've gotten away by then. Oh! [Sees the broken flowers on the path] Oh! [Remembers when the flowers fell out of Iris' hair and Ash landed on them, squashing them] Uh oh.
[Iris picks up Axew and walks away from Ash and Cilan]
A petty disagreement can gradually grow to the point where it turns into a huge argument which becomes difficult to reverse. And I'm afraid that's exactly where those two are headed.
[Soon, Ash and Cilan are following Iris]
Look, Ash, it's too bad about Dunsparce, but what happened was simply an accident.
[The camera cuts to Pikachu walking alongside Ash]
It's better to make up quickly after a fight rather than drag it out. The longer you wait, the harder it'll be for either of you to apologise.
[Then, Pikachu sees something nearby]
Pika, pika! [Points up to a tree full of fruit]
Berries, I know. [Grabs one fruit from the tree] I can't believe how good these berries look. Let's eat.
Taste great, right, Pikachu? Hey, Cilan, want one?
Sure, that sounds great, thanks.
Catch. [Throws a fruit to Cilan who then eats it]
Mmm, it's truly delectable.
Hey, Iris and Axew, catch. [Throws fruits to Iris and Axew]
[Iris catches the fruits with her own two hands]
Oh, well. Guess if he insists. This one's for you. [She and Axew start eating their fruits, making Ash and Cilan happy, but then....]
[...Iris finds the taste rather bitter]
There's no way that berry's bitter. But that look on your face is the funniest thing I've ever seen.
I mean it. It's really bitter. I can't believe you. [Turns angry] You gave me a bad tasting berry just to get back at me.
No, I wouldn't do that, I swear.
You're not just a little kid, ASH KETCHUM, you're a BIG BABY!!! [Throws her berry at Ash, but Cilan catches it]
What did you throw that at me for?
You're a little kid. No, wait, you're a HUGE BABY!!!!
I wouldn't talk if I were you. YOU LOSE YOUR GRIT FOR NO REASON AT ALL!
BAD BERRIES ARE A GOOD REASON!
Now, let's all just calm down.
AIAsh & Iris
WHY DON'T YOU KEEP OUT OF THIS?!
[Chuckles] Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
I've had just about all I can take travelling with you! I'M OUTTA HERE!
Let's go, Axew. [Picks up Axew]
And just like that, their petty disagreement grew and grew and got way out of hand.
