[Ash has just contacted Professor Oak on the computer at the Pokemon Center and explains his request]
Sorry to keep you waiting, Ash. Charizard just arrived from Charicific Valley and I have Charizard's Poke-ball right here!
Great! Thanks for all your help, Professor.
Which Pokemon are you going to exchange?
I'm going to send Unfezant.
Good! Smart choice! Swellow and Staraptor will be thrilled with a new friend. Another Flying-type Pokemon will allow them to have battle races at super speed!
Awesome! Sounds like a lot of fun!
Let's begin the exchange!
[places Unfezant's Poké-ball into the transporter] Unfezant, you're going to make new friends. [Seconds later, the exchange is made and Charizard's Poké-ball has arrived. As Ash picks it up, Professor Oak also receives Unfezant on his end as well.] I got it safe and sound!
Great and Unfezant is right here!
[takes a deep breath before throwing out Charizard's Poké Ball to call it out] Okay! Charizard, I choose you!
[As soon as Charizard comes out of the Poké Ball, Charizard lets out an incredibly loud roar, startling the others. Oh yeah, he's back everyone!]
Charizard, it's so good to see you!
[Pikachu greets his old friend back and hops onto Charizard's shoulder. Charizard gives the thumbs up signalling he's fine as well]
So that's Charizard. I've never seen one in person.
I can just sense its incredibly rich history.
Okay! N, Iris, and Cilan, I want you to meet Charizard!
[Charizard, for old-time's sake, affectionately fires a Flamethrower at Ash, concerning Pikachu.]
There's a whole lotta love in that Flamethrower, like a family recipe lovingly handed down from generation to generation!
Wow, that Flamethrower of yours is stronger than ever! [How he survives an even stronger Flamethrower is beyond us...]
It is a bit strange. I was sure that Dragon Rush would have done more. After all, Charizard is a Dragon-type Pokemon.
Raw?! [You're joking, right?!]
[N snickers at this comment]
Did I say something funny?
The thing is Charizard isn't a Dragon-type.
But I saw Charizard use Dragon Tail and flying around and everything! It sure looks like a Dragon-type to me!
Look. [brings up his Unova Pokedex]
UPUnova Pokedex
Charizard, the Flame Pokémon. Charizard is a Flying and Fire type. When competing in intense battles, Charizard's flame becomes more intense as well.
NO! And here I was hoping to catch a Charizard and raise it too! [Axew laughs at her for that embarrassment]
[Meowth is admiring Colress' device]
Cool. A device that can control Pokémon, is a real piece of work. Got to hand it to you.
CColress
Amazing. To think that a Pokémon would be praising my work, I am honoured, thank you.
Sure, but it's your talent that really floats my boat. You wouldn't know it, working for Team Plasma.
Let's cut to the chase. This day job doesn't thrill you and you know it. You couldn't care less about Team Plasma's puffed-up plans. You want to do your research. I can see it in your eyes.
CColress
Hm. And if I join Team Rocket, all my wishes will come true?
CColress
It's an interesting proposition. And, speaking of interesting, I find you to be quite interesting, as well.
CColress
You. One doesn't come across a talking Meowth every day, you know. In fact, in very much the same way Team Rocket seems to need me, I need you, too.
CColress
You're an intelligent Pokémon. I could really use your help.
Mm, I'll lay you 2:1 odds that you want to use me as a test subject.
CColress
Yes, there would be no better test subject than a true one-of-a-kind Pokémon.
Me - part of your first experiment, as a Team Rocket member? You've got yourself a deal.
CColress
My heartfelt thanks. [Shakes hands with Meowth]
[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.
[Iris' Emolga uses Attract on the three Rotom]
Yeah. Maybe using Attract can control those three.
[Unfortunately, Attract does not work on the three Rotom! The three Rotom snicker at the fact that Attract did not work on them, much to Iris and Emolga's shock. Rotom is genderless, therefore it cannot be affected by Attract.]
How can that be? Oh perhaps, those Rotom are female, huh?
I'm afraid Rotom are neither male nor female and that's the reason Attract had no effect on them.
[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.
