[Later, the sun is setting and outside the Hearthome City Stadium, Paul releases Chimchar]
CChimchar
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?
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?
CChimchar
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!
CChimchar
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.
Why, that's an awful thing to say, Paul!
Chimchar and I are going to show Paul just how wrong he can be.
CChimchar
Chim? [The camera cuts to Ash and then, back to Chimchar] Char...
[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?
We're blasting off again!
Ping!
They need to get a hobby or somethin'...
[The next morning, Ash, his friends and their Pokémon are having breakfast]
Wow, what a beautiful day it's going to be today.
A nice day for travelling.
[Snover points to something in the distance, causing Chimchar to look at it, and then it steal Chimchar's bit of Pokémon food. Chimchar discovers this and points to Snover]
CChimchar
Chimchar, Chimchar!
SSnover
Snover, Sno! [Picks up its bowl of Pokémon food]
[Everyone laughs]
Boy, I'll tell you, Snover loves pulling practical jokes.
So what do you say we start getting ready to move on out?
ADAsh & Dawn
Right, Brock.
[to the Pokémon] Hey, guys, as soon as you're done eating, we're getting out of here.
[Soon, everyone has had their breakfast and they are now packing up as Ash returns Staraptor to its Poké ball]
Okay, now for Grotle. [He stares at something] Huh?
[We see Grotle with some small Pokémon perching on its shell]
Look at all those wild Pokémon.
They're perched on Grotle's back.
[The camera zooms in on the Pokémon who are eating nuts on Grotle's shell]
There are nuts growing on its back.
I guess this kind of thing happens once Grotle's adjusted to evolution.
[happily] That's awesome. [Takes a nut from one of Grotle's bush-like trees]
Okay, so Snover grows berries on its body and Grotle grows nuts. Pokémon are so full of mysteries.
Of course, that's part of what makes them so intriguing.
Wow, Grotle, that's so cool.
