01x49 - So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd

[bunniefuu]

[upbeat rock music]

[singing]
-I want to be the very best

Like no one ever was

To catch them is my real test

To train them is my cause

I will travel across the land

Searching far and wide

Each Pokémon to understand

The power that's inside

Pokémon, gotta catch 'em all

It's you and me

[crash!]

I know it's my destiny

Pokémon

Oh, you're my best friend

In a world we must defend

Pokémon, gotta catch 'em all

A heart so true

Our courage will pull us through

You teach me and I'll teach you

Pokémon

Gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all

Pokémon

Gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all

Pokémon

Narrator: Ash and his friends
have been on the road

for quite a while now,

so they've decided
to take a little break

in a beautiful meadow.

[groans]

Psy-ay-ay.

Uh, is this the one, Brock?

- Yeah.
It's called Farfetch'd.

-Wow.
-Pika?

Hey, what are you looking at?

A new kind of Pokémon?

Uh, there was a rumor

that one's been spotted
right near here.

It looks like
it's holding a leek in its wing.

Yeah.

- [electronic voice] Farfetch'd.
A wild duck Pokémon.

Farfetch'd
makes a delicious meal,

especially when cooked
with leek.

Because of this,
Farfetch'd is nearly extinct

[all gasp]

Hey, if it's that valuable,
I'll capture it.

There's supposed
to be a spring nearby,

and we need to get some water.

You want to come?

Yeah, I'll go with you.

Great.

Will you get some for me?

Pretty please, Brock?

Sure, Misty.

Let's go, Pikachu.

Pika.

Thanks, you guys.

My legs are tired from walking.

-Psy?
-Huh?

Psy-ay-ay.

Hey, I don't have the energy
to deal with you.

If I have to look at that face,
I'm gonna get a headache.

Psy.

[sighs]

Time for you
to go back in your ball.

- F-farfe-e-e-etch'd
- Huh?

Psyduck, was that you?

Psy?

F-farfe-e-e-etch'd

Huh?

Who is that?
Who's there?

Huh?

- Farfetch'd, farfetch'd.
Farfetch'd, farfetch'd.

[gasps]

Farfetch'd, farfetch'd.

- Farfetch'd.
Farfetch'd, farfetch'd.

Wow, I don't believe it.

That's Farfetch'd,
the rare Pokémon.

Farfetch'd, farfetch'd.

Look at that.

Farfetch'd!

Ha, that's
the coolest Pokémon ever!

While Ash and Brock are gone,
I'm gonna capture it myself.

Farfetch'd, farfetch'd...

Huh?

Hey, wait!

Psy.

- Wait.
Come back, Farfetch'd!

Little Farfetch'd!

[panting]

Where are you hiding?

Come out, Farfetch'd!

Come out, come out,
wherever you are.

Fetch'd!

There it is.

Farfetch'd.

Hey, wait!

Come back, little Farfetch'd!

Hold on!

Please wait for me!

I won't hurt you, Farfetch'd.

Farfetch'd,
farfetch'd, farfetch'd,

farfetch'd, farfetch'd...

I'm in no mood
for a marathon, Farfetch'd.

[groans]

You won't get away from me!

Ohh!

Ow, that hurt.

I'm sorry.
Are you okay?

-Yeah.
-It's my fault.

I wasn't looking
where I was going.

Well, I wasn't
paying attention either.

I was chasing a Pokémon.

- Ohh.
Here you go.

-Thanks.
-See you.

Bye.

Oh, now I've lost track
of Farfetch'd.

[groans]

Both:
Huh?

Hey, there she is.

Oh, how could I let it get away?

-Misty!
-Huh?

Where'd you run off to?

Oh, I found a Farfetch'd
and tried to capture it,

but it got away.

Both: You tried to capture it?
-Pika!

Have you been sneaking around
behind our backs?

- Huh?
Of course not.

If I caught it,
it would have been all of ours.

Yeah, right.

Anyway, Farfetch'd
is an incredible Pokémon.

Oh, it's so cute, and it twirls
it's sleek like a baton.

Huh?

No lie?

I'm telling the truth this time.

This time?

Oops.

Here, I brought you your water.

Thanks, Brock.

[humming]

[gasps]

- Huh?
What's wrong?

Pikachu pi?

I must have picked up
the wrong backpack.

-Huh?
-Pika?

Look.

-[all gasp]
-Pi!

[laughing]

Just like taking candy
from a baby, eh, Farfetch'd?

Fetch'd, far-farfetch'd

Now, let's see what's inside.

Five Pokéballs?

This must be all of her Pokémon.

[laughs]

And now they're mine.

[both laugh]

You bumped into him?

That must have been when
the backpacks were switched.

How could this happen?

I had all the Pokémon
I ever caught in that backpack!

[sobbing]

Pikachu.

[chuckles]

That was too easy.

Huh?

- Farfetch'd.
Far-far-far-farfetch'd!

What is it, Farfetch'd?

Farfetch'd.

Hmm?

Ahh.

Are you sure
there are Farfetch'd

out here in the middle
of nowhere?

Trust me, we'll find some.

I hear people
are spotting Farfetch'd

in this forest all the time.

Farfetch'd,
farfetch'd, far-far-farfetch'd.

Both:
Huh?

What's that?

- Farfetch'd, farfetch'd.
Far-far-farfetch'd.

[humming]

What amazing luck.

We come to look for it,
and it comes to us.

It tastes good
and has good taste.

And it looks so happy to see us.

This Farfetch'd is mine.

Hi.

Sounds like you guys
like my Farfetch'd,

It's your Farfetch'd?

It already has a master.

[all groan]

But this is just perfect.

All:
Huh?

I was just planning

on getting rid
of my Farfetch'd anyway.

You guys want to make
a deal with me?

-For that Farfetch'd?
-Yeah.

I have a Starmie
and a Staryu in here too.

I guess I'm sort of getting
tired of raising Pokémon.

I'd be happy to find somebody
who'd take them off my hands.

Far, far-a-a-arfetch'd.

All:
Huh?

[laughter]

Aw, I'm sorry.

I forgot something
back in the forest.

Would you mind watching
my Pokéballs and my Farfetch'd

while I run and get it?

All:
Huh?

Sure, we'd be glad to.

Leave it to us.

We'll take care of 'em.

Thank you so much.

And I'll be right back.

Be careful.

Take your time.

Thanks!

No problem

[all sigh]

[laughter]

That sucker just lost
one Farfetch'd.

This is easier than taking
candy from a baby.

Letting Team Rocket
guard your Pokémon

is like letting your cat
guard your canary.

[laughs]

I can't believe
how stupid he is.

And look, he even left a boat

for us to make our getaway.

He's done all the work for us.

Too bad he didn't leave his
recipe for Farfetch'd flambe.

[laughter]

-Let's get going.
-Right.

And he left a Starmie
and Staryu.

Now they belong to us.

[laughs]

[laughs]

This was the simplest Pokémon capture
in Team Rocket history. Ha ha ha!

Maybe that's the key to success.

Maybe we should just let
good things happen

to bad people.

And Pokémon.

We've found our winning formula.

[laughter]

-Huh?
-[gasps]

[screams]

Quick, plug that hole
before we sink.

That kid rigged the boat.

Both:
Huh?

[laughs]

[both groaning]

Plug it up tighter!

The water's getting in.
We're gonna-

[gurgling]

My Weezing!

Arbok and Lickitung
are floating away.

We can use his Starmie
and Staryu to bring them back.

- Right.
Good idea.

Huh?
What's this?

What's what?

Oh, no.

That little twerp tricked us!

But why would he do it?

Farfetch'd, Farfetch'd.

Both:
Huh?

Farfetch'd, Farfetch'd.

Back off, birdbrain.

Those are my Pokémon.

And that's my Weezing.

-Ahh!
-Come back here.

Both:
Give us back our Pokémon.

[growls]

[grunting]

Ahh!

[screaming]

Far, far, far, far, far!

[all screaming]

Farfetch'd.

Hey, that's nice work,
Farfetch'd.

[laughs]

Now they're mine.
All mine.

All: Who's that Pokémon?

It's Farfetch'd!

Farfetch'd!

And then he ran off.

I think he might have taken
my backpack by accident.

The Farfetch'd came
and then did a trick.

Yeah.

I'm sorry,
but that was no accident.

What do you mean by that?

This has happened before?

You're the fifth victim

of the backpack-switching thief
this week.

[all gasp]

You were tricked by that boy
and his Farfetch'd.

Jenny, you have to help me.

That thief and Farfetch'd
stole every Pokémon I had.

I've been trying
to track him down for a while,

but he never stays in one place.

He's a slippery one, that kid.

[sighs]

We've been together
for a long time, Farfetch'd.

Right after I found you
injured on the road

and nursed you back to health,
we started stealing.

Farfetch'd.

I wish there was some
other way for us to get by,

but how else
are we ever gonna survive?

We're just too weak to battle

Farfetch'd.

Psy?

Duck, psy?

Duck duck.
Psy-ay-ay-ay...

Psy?

Well, I think our stew is ready.

We're gonna find that
no-good, rotten crook

and show him what
good rotten crooks are like.

I can't wait.

And I can't believe
he tricked us so easily.

It's because you were so stupid.

But Meowth was the one
who fell for his trick

in the first place.

Lets not fight.

Let's save all our nastiness
for that lousy kid.

This is it.

This is the place
I ran into him.

Maybe he lives somewhere nearby.

Hmm.

Oh, I can't believe
he stole all my Pokémon.

Staryu, Starmie,
Goldeen, and Horsea.

Misty, you forgot Psyduck.

Oh, I wish I could
forget Psyduck

- Psy.
Psyduck.

Look, it's Psyduck.

Oh, I'm so happy to see you.

I missed you so much.

But how did you get back here?

Psyduck.

Where's my backpack now?

Psyduck.

What about the other Pokémon?

Psyduck.

Where did he take you?

Psyduck.

Well, then how did you get away?

Psyduck.

Where's the guy who stole you?

Psyduck.

And where's that Farfetch'd?

Psyduck.

Come on, you dumb duck!

Start thinking straight!

Now you're giving me a headache!

Psyduck.

Okay, Psyduck,
tell us which way to go.

Left or right?

Psyduck.

[growls]

What's wrong with you?

Can't you remember anything?

Hey, Misty, chill out.

Yeah, Misty,

you've got to relax.

Psyduck's trying
as hard as he can

to remember
where the others are.

Psy-ay.

Huh?

To the left?

Are you sure about this?

Psy-ay.

You better be!

Following directions
from a Psyduck

doesn't sound like a good idea.

Pikachu.

We keep getting more Pokémon.

Farfetch'd.

Well, if we meet
someone on the road,

we'll just have to take
their Pokémon too.

Farfetch'd far.

There he is!

Huh?

Hold it, buster.

You won't get away now.

-What are you doing here?
-Fetch'd far.

You thought you were going
to get away with it, didn't you?

Sinking that boat
and grabbing our Pokémon.

Now we're gonna make you pay
for making fools of us.

Hey, come on,
can't you guys take a joke?

I meant what I said.

I really am sick
of raising Pokémon.

I've got so many.

Look, I'll give you Arbok
and Weezing and Lickitung,

and we'll call it even.

Nice try.

You can't make it up
by just giving them back.

No, you're right

All:
Huh?

So I'll give you all of these

and my apologies.

- Wha?
You mean all of these?

Don't worry about it.

Go ahead and take them.

Well, since he's
being so generous...

We'll have to forgive him.

I'm glad I ran into you guys.

I was planning on moving anyway,

but I just had
too much stuff to carry.

Oh, lucky you.

Yeah, so please forgive me,
and good luck.

All:
What a haul.

There's so many of them.

Well, it looks like the kid
wasn't so bad after all.

Both:
Mm-hmm.

Psy.

That's the kid.

All:
Huh?

Good work, Psyduck.

You found him.

You act like a quack
most of the time,

but you're pretty smart,
Psyduck.

Psy?

Well, I guess
we better get going.

Fetch'd far far.

Stop right there.

Give me back my Pokémon
right now, you thief.

Pika pika.

Oh, no.

You're under arrest
for grand theft Pokémon.

You're crime spree is over.

Farfetch'd far.

What makes you think it was okay

to lie and cheat people so you
could steal their Pokémon?

It takes a lot of love and care
to raise Pokémon.

We worked real hard
to train them all

to win their Pokémon battles.

That's right.

Maybe we should start off
by showing this kid

just how difficult
a Pokémon match is.

Good idea.

Huh?

That's right, a battle.

Wait a minute.

Farfetch'd is too weak.

We had no other choice.

That's not true at all.

Pokémon will become stronger

with trainers
who work with them.

But Farfetch'd isn't-

- Fetch'd far far.

Huh?

You mean you want to battle?

Far Farfetch'd.

But Farfetch'd-

- Good.

Let's start our Pokémon battle.

Bulbasaur!

Fetch'd far far.

Wait, Farfetch'd.

Go for it, Bulbasaur!

Tackle attack!

Bulbasaur!

Farfetch'd!

-Bulbasaur!
-Farfetch'd!

Farfetch'd, stop.

Bulbasaur, Vine Whip attack.

-Bulbasaur!
-Farfetch'd!

Farfetch'd, no!

At least now
you can see the right way

to capture Pokémon in the wild.

[screams]

Please stop, Farfetch'd!

You can't win this!

- Farfetch'd!
Farfetch'd!

Farfetch'd.

Bulbasaur!

Huh?

What's that?

-It's Farfetch'd's agility.
-Pika!

I didn't know Farfetch'd
could do that.

Bulba, bulba, bulba, bulba, bulbasaur!

-Far!
-Bulbasaur...

-[laughs]
-Bulbasaur...

Bulbasaur!

Bulba.

Farfetch'd!

[singing]
Farfetch'd, farfetch'd.

Bulbasaur, are you okay?

Pika?

Bulba.

I never thought Farfetch'd
had att*cks like that.

Huh?

You really didn't know
about its powers?

No.

If I had known
it was this strong,

I wouldn't have
used it to steal.

[sighs]

You can't judge a Pokémon
by the way it looks.

Bulba.

All right, Pikachu, your turn.

Pika.

Pika pika.

Hold it.

He robbed me,
so it's my job to battle him.

I choose you, Staryu!

Oh, I forgot.

I didn't get
my Pokéballs back yet.

-Wha!
-Pikachu!

Psyduck psy.

Far.

Psyduck?

Psy?

Farfetch'd.

Fa-a-ar!

Fetch'd fetch'd fetch'd.

[thinking] Here's my chance.

Come on, Farfetch'd,
give Psyduck your best shot.

Fetch'd fetch'd fetch'd.

Psy.

It's working.

Psyduck's headache
is getting worse.

Just a little more.

Pikachu.

Fetch'd fetch'd fetch'd

Psy.

[squawks]

-Farfetch'd, no!
-That's it!

Psyduck's absolute migraine
attack, disable.

[both groaning]

Psy!

Duck!

[both screaming]

[grunts]

You did it, Psyduck!

Psyduck!

I'm embarrassed
for ever doubting that kid.

Let's open up these Pokéballs

and find out what kind
of great Pokémon he gave us.

[electricity crackles] Voltorb!

[both gasp]

Voltorb!

All of them are Voltorb!

That two timer.

He tricked us two times
in one episode.

All:
We'll get him for this.

Voltorb.

[all screaming]

I'm sorry!

I won't do anything bad anymore!

Farfetch'd!

Forgive me.

I'll give back
all the Pokémon I stole.

None the victims
are going to press charges

since they all
got their Pokémon back.

That's good

it's great to have
my old backpack back.

It was wrong to steal,

and it was wrong
not to believe in Farfetch'd.

Fetch'd far far.

Now I'm gonna train Farfetch'd

to become even stronger.

Great.

That's the way it should be.

Now you see that Pokémon
can be anything

a good trainer wants it to be.

- Yeah.
Thanks a lot.

Far Farfetch'd.

See you.

Let's go, Farfetch'd.

Farfetch'd.

Good luck, you two.

Take care.

Far Farfetch'd.

Narrator: Misty might have
lost her Pokémon for good,

but thanks to a little
help from Psyduck...

Psy-ay?

Narrator: Or rather, thanks
to a lot of help from Psyduck,

her Pokémon were returned
safely,

and everyone learned
an important lesson

about honesty,
bravery, and trust.

Are you sure you want to tell
the boss about this?

Team Rocket can't allow
anyone to steal Pokémon.

That's our job.

Right, James.

Wrong.

If we tell the boss
how the kid outsmarted us,

he'll want to make him
part of Team Rocket.

And then...

he'll be in and we'll be out.

Exactly

Both:
Oh, no!

Then we'll just
have to tell him...

Absolutely nothing
about that kid or Farfetch'd.

Both:
Okay?

Precisely.

That's what we'll do.

Voltorb.

Oh, no, there's one left.

All: Looks like Team Rocket's
blasting off again.

Don't go away.

The Pokérap is next.

[singing]
-Pokémon

Attention, all Pokémon trainers.

Do you got
what it takes to be the best?

Today, we'll do Pokémon.

It's the ultimate test.

[singing]
-Gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all,
gotta catch 'em all

Pokémon

At least or more to see

to be a Pokémon master
is my destiny

Not bad, not bad.

Hey, don't get cocky.

Tomorrow's the hardest part.

We're on our way
up to Pokémon.

There's no stopping us.

[singing]
-Catch 'em, catch 'em

Gotta catch 'em all,
gotta catch 'em all

Pokémon, catch 'em, catch 'em

Gotta catch 'em all,
gotta catch 'em all

Pokémon, catch 'em, catch 'em

Gotta catch 'em all

Pokémon

[upbeat rock music]

[singing]
