Pokémon · Season 25
Hey, whatcha got in the box, Ren?
After being out for repairs, it's finally back. A lamp that Francois really loves! [after plugging it in] Come on out! It's lunchtime!
Magnemite! [Alright!] [begins absorbing the electricity from the lamp]
Welcome to the Celadon Gym. Nice to meet you. My name is Erika, the Gym Leader.
Hi there, it's a pleasure to see you.
Thank you. [recognizes Ash] Oh my, don't I know you?
[a bit nervous] That's right, I'm Ash.
I recognize you now. Hi Ash! [cut to flashback where Ash rescued her Gloom from the fire] You helped rescue all the Pokémon after the Gym caught fire. I want to thank you again. You did a really wonderful thing!
Aww...
Ash, you really did that? [It does hint that neither Ash nor Erika were proud of making a bad first impression of each other since they don't mention the issues that caused the Celadon Gym to get caught on fire to Goh or Chloe]
[Goh has decided to decorate flowers on Pinsir to make Heracross and Pinsir a happy couple, only to attract the attention of Erika]
A happy couple?! [starts to get mad. Don't you remember what you did wrong in the original series when you acted like that?!] Could it be you want to use Pokémon flower arranging for romance?!
[getting nervous] Uhhh...well, it's just that... [in his mind] Am I doing this for the wrong reasons?!
[a brief stare down later]
[getting cheerful again...whew] I think that's wonderful! A trainer would want to see their Pokémon be happy! I insist that you two allow me to help you out!
Relax, it's not going anywhere and there's more where that came from.
Raticate! [Please, enjoy!]
This is scrumpty!
It's not everyday that a complete stranger would come and save our lives! [suddenly recognizes Cassidy] Time out! I've seen you before!
Normally, I wouldn't respond to that but I'll be glad to show you who you are dealing with.
[The Team Rocket learn that the cafe owner is none other than Cassidy!]
Cassidy?!
What are you doing in a place like this?!
I venture in a guess that you are on some super secret Team Rocket mission! Am I right?
Missed it by a mile. I quit. [The gang are confused]
My leg's been pulled by a mile quite enough.
Team Rocket was part of my life but it wasn't all.
Things besides Team Rocket?
Just what do you mean?
It's true we were elite members, miles above you, but all those failed mission reports- awful! The grind had simply worn us down.
[A familiar face and voice steps out of the bakery. It's Butch who also quit Team Rocket!]
[excited] We have customers? [shocked to see Jessie, Wobbuffet and Meowth] IT CAN'T BE YOU!
So, who are you?
Normally, I wouldn't answer that but I'm glad to show you...[the gang freak out]
Botch, it's you!
The name's Butch, okay?! The name is BUTCH!
[Later, Jessie, Wobbuffet and Meowth are enjoying bread Butch gave them]
Yum! What is this?
It rocks my world!
Wobbuffet! [So delicious!]
Ehh...to tell the truth...
Don't say another word. All those lousy, loser reports and the grind had simply worn you down, right?
[a bit annoyed] Look, it's my story to tell so let me talk.
Cassidy gave us the lowdown.
Huh? You already met with her?
Butch, we like to pay for that yummy food you gave us by working for it.
THE NAME IS BOTCH! [realizes that Jessie pronounced his name correctly] Hmmm...she's right.
[Ash and Goh arrived in Spikemuth after being tricked by Team Yell that the World Coronation series match is here. The city is dark and empty. Not a good place to have a World Coronation series match...]
We're going to have a battle here? [Even Pikachu is baffled]
Yep, apparently the directions Team Yell gave us lead right to this location.
ROCK AND ROLL! [while practing with his Rillaboom, two Toxtricity and Obstagoon]
[Both Pikachu's Thunderbolt and Toxtricity's Discharge attacks cancel each other out]
Hey, that wasn't nice!
We're in the middle of a rehearsal, so no one is allowed inside.
But hold on, isn't this a gym?
It's our gym, it's our stage. Spikemuth Gym. I'm the Gym Leader here, a real genius with Dark types. Mournful Piers is what the fans call me! Now meet the band! On backing vocals, Obstagoon! [Obstagoon screams like the band members of KISS] On drums, Rillaboom! On guitar, Toxtricity (Amped form)! On bass, Toxtricity (Low-key form)!
I'm here for the World Coronation series! My name is Ash! I'm battling today!
Wait, your name is Ash? Are you in the Ultra Class? And you are from the Kanto region?
Right, so you're saying you've heard of me?
Wow Ash! You're famous!
That's weird. Marnie should be waiting for you over at Wyndon Stadium.
[A weary Piers sighs in annoyance, hinting that Team Yell has a bad habit of sabotaging Marnie's opponents. Good thing Piers is a Team leader that is not a villain.]
They're part of our crew. Sorry if they messed you up.
So, how do you know about Marnie?
She's my little sister.
No, I can't do that! [accept a default win] I want a real battle, you hear me? I'm gonna wait.
[Marnie learns that her fanclub, Team Yell, attempted sabotage from Ash]
[to Team Yell] SHUT YOUR BIG YAPS! [to Ash] Hey, did that lot really lie to you?
Uh-huh. They said the match was somewhere else. Thankfully, Piers drove me here, himself.
My bro did that?
We really wanted you to win, Marnie! You win and it'll help Spikemuth out, don't you see that?
Not if I win that way! [The Team Yell grunts all freak out. You know you did wrong when your idol chews you out for your actions]
[Marnie does the friendly smile pose just like in the games]
Thanks for today. I loved our match. But mark my words, Ash. I won't lose again!
[nods in agreement and shakes Marnie's hand] We'll both do our best!
Pikachu! [Take care, Marnie!]
[two kids are running to watch the show]
We got to hurry, Leon's battle has already started!
Yeah, I know!
Huh, Leon's having a battle! Wait a second! Hang on.
Huh? You beat Marnie yesterday!
We saw it all! You were really strong! [hmmm...Ash is sure becoming more famous...]
