03x35 - The Totodile Duel

[bunniefuu]

Today we find our friends
taking a breather

on the lush bank
of a lazy river.

With time to think,

Ash has come to an
important realization.

This is a boring way
t' catch Pokémon.

Be quiet.

I could o' gone out an'
caught ten of 'em by now.

WILL YOU PLEASE
SHUT YOUR MOUTH!

Don't you think
we should give up?!

Maybe we're using
the wrong bait.

How long are we gonna have
t' sit here like this?

I know it seems boring
but if we're really quiet

maybe it'll only
take another hour.

As long as you're quiet

I don't care if we're
here another two hours!

YOU'RE THE ONE COMPLAINING
ABOUT EVERYTHING

WHY DON'T YOU BE QUIET!?

Hey y' got something!

Reel it in Misty!

It must be
something humungous!

Hang on don't
let it get away!

I can tell it's
gonna be a big one!

Y' almost got it
just a little more!

Y' can do it!

The Totodile Duel

Steady...

I GOT IT!

What is it?

I just caught
a tea kettle!

It put up a pretty
good fight though.

Could y' throw it back an'
try for a coffee maker?!

I came here for
Pokémon not appliances!

But now it's obvious

that I'm gonna have t' use
something drastic t' get one!

What're y' gonna use Misty?!

My secret weapon...

Introducing the
Mini-Misty Lure!!

It looks like her.

Isn't that gonna scare
th' Pokémon away?

Watch closely guys

you're about t' see the
dazzling technique of Misty

the Water Pokémon Master!

Hey since when're you a
Water Pokémon Master?!

Well technically
I'm not yet

but I don't like t' get bogged
down with technicalities.

Ahh...

there's nothing more wonderful
in the whole wide world

than Water Pokémon!

When I was a little girl
back in Cerulean city

I made a solemn
promise to myself

to dedicate my life to learning
all I can about Water Pokémon,

training them to the very
best of my ability

and always being
their friend!

I wanna capture and train as
many Water Pokémon as I can

and that's why I'm
hoping with all my might

t' catch one here t'day!

Misty's kind
o' scarin' me.

She's almost as scary
as that mini- Misty.

Don't mess with me
OR with mini-Misty!

Look! It's right there!

A Totodile!

It's totally adorable!

From the looks o' the
little dance it's doin'

it's a pretty
happy one too!

Yeah!

Totodile,
the Big Jaw Pokémon.

Its highly-developed
jaw is so powerful

it can crush practically
anything.

Trainers beware:

this Pokémon loves
to use its teeth!

I just knew my
patience would pay off

and now I've
finally found

another wonderful
Water Pokémon t' train!

Dream on Misty 'cuz
I'm capturing this one!

Oh no y' don't!

No fair, no way!

Sorry...my Mini-Misty
was just too fast for ya!

What's a' matter,
something wrong Totodile?!

Did y' see that
Totodile winked at me!

An' I also saw it spit out that
lame lookin' lure o' yours...

Pikachu Thundershock!

Pokéball.. GO!

That was a dirty low-down

double-crossing
trick Ash Ketchum

that Totodile wouldn't
be anywhere near here

if it wasn't for
me an' my lure!

Yeah well y' don't catch
a Totodile with a lure

y' catch it with a Pokéball!

Guess y' don't catch this
Totodile with either.

I CAUGHT YOU
I CAUGHT YOU

NOW GET BACK IN THAT
POKEBALL WHERE YOU BELONG!

Y' can make friends later
use your Thundershock...

Sorry Ash but the reason this
Totodile won't stay with you

is 'cause it obviously
wants t' be trained by me

just like all o' my
other Water Pokémon!

Pokéball...!

Where'd that Totodile go!?

I don't know..it
was just here!

It hasn't been
gone long enough

to've gotten very far away..

I bet y' if I hurry up
I can still catch it!

Can I catch it
this time Ash?!

Finders keepers
losers weepers!

Let's go Pikachu!

Brock.. take
care o' Togepi!

Hey I think we
better come too!

They're gonna
need a referee!

Snacktime!

How can y' eat when
we're in such a bad way?!

It's easy!

All y' do is get some
food, open your mouth,

stick it in and chew!

That ain't what I mean,

I'm scared that the Boss
is gonna give us the boot

if we keep messin'
up the way we do.

You have to get
rid of that fear!

Jessie's right,

I'm sure we can find brand
new ways of messing up!

We're Team Rocket messing
up at the speed of light!

We may mess up but
we do it right!

You aren't afraid of a little
failure are you Wobbuffet!

I wish I felt
the way you do.

We have t' cheer
up Mister Misery.

I know just the thing....
have one of these delicious

but non- nutritious
snack treats!

No thanks I ain't hungry.

Hey... Meowth look!

It's a Totodile!

HELP, GET IT OFF ME,
GET IT OFF ME, HURRY UP,

Yeah whenever Jessie's
finished with the spin cycle

we can bring that Totodile
right t' the Boss!

Who told you you could
come out of your Pokéball?

YOU GET BACK HERE!

Come on let's get it!

We're blastin' off already!

There's that little cutie!

OH, It's even cuter than
the last time I saw it!

Well... time for
me t' catch it!

You're not catching
this little Totodile

'cuz I'm using
my secret weapon!

Don't tell me you're gonna use
one o' the special Pokéballs

that Kurt made for us!?!?!?

When he gave us
these Lure ba*ls

he said they're the best
way t' catch Water Pokémon

so I'M gonna give it a try!

That's a good idea!

Y' better keep
your eyes open Ash

'cuz you're about t' see how
a future Water Pokémon Master

captures a Totodile!

That's what you think
I'm catchin' it!

Leave it alone
I saw it first!

Yeah?!

The only one who seems t'
be enjoying this whole thing

is Totodile.

POKEBALL.. GO!

Hey..which...

How d' we tell
which one's which?!

I'm sure you can both
work this out maturely.

Well that one's
definitely mine!

-It's mine!
-Mine!

-Let go!
-You let go!

OK that's it...I'll take
custody of this for now.

It's obvious that neither
o' you is gonna give up

or give in...

so that means there's
only one fair way t' decide

which one o' you gets
t' keep the Totodile.

A Pokémon battle!

I will be the judge and
referee of this Pokémon match

and until a winner
is determined

I will also be in
charge of the Totodile.

You'll each be allowed

to use a total of three
different Pokémon

and whoever wins the best of
three battles wins the match.

Now I'll show y'

who would o' won the
match we never finished

back at the
Cerulean City gym!

Oh there's no reason
for y' t' do that Ash

'cuz we both know the winner
would o' been me!

I bet y' won't think
this is so funny

when I win that Totodile!

The only kind o' Pokémon
you have're Water Pokémon..

so I'm gonna go with
an electric type..

ready Pikachu!?

An' I might as well warn
y' we're both a lot stronger

than the last
time we battled!

OK well I guess we
better get started then!

Y' mean you're not
even a little worried?

Not really..
as a matter o' fact

I have secret weapon
for battling Pikachu.

What kind o' secret weapon're
you talkin' about Misty!?

One that's been right in front
of your face all the time...

...only now you're
gonna see it in action!

GO TOGEPI!

We're ready t' battle
whenever you are!

The first match will be
Pikachu versus Togepi..

begin!

Whattsamatter Pikachu!?

How 'bout startin' out with
your Thundershock Attack?

OK Togepi go give Pikachu
a big gigantic hug!

We'll have t' attack it as soon
as it lets go o' y' Pikachu!

Togepi hit Pikachu with your
best full-strength Charm Attack!

That attack 'd
make ME sweat too!

Pikachu is unwilling to battle..

round one t' Misty!

She.. beat me!

I knew you could
do it Togepi!

Let's see what Pokémon Ash
is gonna use this time!

This time I'm gonna
use a Grass Pokémon

'cuz they're really strong
against Water Pokémon!

CHIKORITA GO!

Even that secret
weapon o' yours

isn't gonna save
y' this time (Misty)!

I wouldn't make any more
predictions about winning

if I were you Ash

don't forget you're
up against somebody

who's practically a
Water Pokémon Master!

I'M UP AGAINST A WATER
POKEMON DISASTER!

We'll see about that!

GO STARYU!

It's Misty's Staryu
versus Ash's Chikorita

in the second round..

begin the battle!

Chikorita use your
Razor Leaf Attack!

Hurry Staryu
use your Jump!

OK now hit it with
your Swift Attack!

Fight it off with your
Tackle Attack Chikorita!

Come on Staryu
stand your ground,

battle back with
your Water g*n!

WE CAN'T LOSE THIS ONE
CHIKORITA DIG IN YOUR HEELS!

That's the
spirit Chikorita!

That was a nice try Ash

but you don't stand
a chance of winning,

my Staryu's at a much higher
level than Chikorita!

Never underestimate the
power of my Chikorita.

Chikorita..use
Vine Whip Attack!

Staryu... jump
as high as y' can

then use your Tackle!

Now whip it Chikorita!

This can't be!

Staryu is unable
to continue..

Chikorita wins the round.

Way t' go Chikorita,

just one more an'
we'll defeat 'er!

I'm sorry if I pushed
y' too hard Staryu

but y' know
I only did it

'cuz I have a lot
o' confidence in y'.

OK.....I'm gonna
win the last battle!

I'm the one
who's gonna win.

Whoever wins this
wins Totodile.

Now my reputation as an
Orange League Champion

an' one o' the top sixteen at
the Indigo Plateau's on line!

So's my reputation as a
Cerulean City Gym Leader!

This time..
I refuse t' lose!

Go!

Go!

Bulbasaur!

Poliwag!

Let the battle begin!

Bulbasaur..Vine
Whip Attack!

Poliwag..use
(your) Double Slap!

I for one hope we never
run into thatTotodile again.

Well if we ever
do it'll be sorry.

Oh yeah well we
should be so lucky

as t' run into that
Totodile again!

What do you mean?!

Totodile's the
kind o' Pokémon

that'd get us back on
the Boss's good side!

Now all we gotta
do is catch it

an it'll be smooth sailin'
for us from here on in!

So much for..

Hang in there Bulbasaur!

You can do it Poliwag..

Don't give in!

C'mon Bulbasaur knock
that squirt on its tail!

Why would the twerps be
battling against each other?

They're probably just
trying to figure out

which one of them is
the bigger loser!

This may be the time for
them to lose Pikachu!

I got a better idea!

All right let's hear it.

If we go bargin' in on 'em

when they're right in
the middle of a battle

they'll just turn on us
instead o' each other!

Good point.

What should we do?

We wait 'til the
battle's over

and when them twerps an' their
Pokémon're all pooped out

we pounce on 'em
grab 'em an' go!

I like pouncing!

We're going to
give those twerps

every ounce of
pounce we've got!

Yes!!!

Bulbasaur..try a
Razor Leaf Attack!

All right Poliwag we're
gonna counterattack

with your Water g*n!

Quick Bulbasaur
get out o' the way!

OK Bulbasaur finish it
off with a Razor Leaf!

Poliwag!

All right..we did it..
we beat 'er... we won..

Well that's it...

winner of the match...
and Totodile...

Wait! Look!

Poliwag must be evolving!

My Poliwag (just)
evolved into a Poliwhirl!

Now I'm gonna have a
totally new Poliwhirl

and a totally new Totodile!

Let's see what
Dexter has t' say.

Poliwhirl, the
Tadpole Pokémon.

Its highly
developed muscles

allow Poliwhirl to move
efficiently on land,

but it is even more
agile in water.

It'll take more than
that t' beat me!

Bulbasaur Tackle
Attack that Poliwhirl!

Poliwhirl Body
Slam Attack!

Y' might as well
give up now Ash!

Bulbasaur we gotta beat 'em,
use your Razor Leaf!

Are y' OK Bulbasaur,
can y' keep battlin'?!

Bulbasaur gets
"A" for effort!

Bulbasaur use
Solar Beam Attack!

A Solar Beam attack
takes a while

so while we're waiting..

Poliwhirl,
Bubble Attack!

Bulbasaur hurry!

Nice work Poliwhirl!

Bulbasaur we need that
Solar Beam right away!

Let that Solar Beam loose..

RIGHT NOW!

Poliwhirl are you OK?!

Thanks Poliwhirl..

I know y' evolved just
to try an' help me win.

We have a winner!

Victories by Chikorita
and Bulbasaur

give Ash the best
two out o' three!

We did it guys..we won!

That was an amazing match..

an' you won this Totodile
fair and square.

Thanks..

I got myself a Toto..

Hip hip hooray
hip hip hooray...

We're from the local Pokémon
Battlers' Ladies Auxiliary

and we're here
to congratulate you!

But after all o' that
fussin' an' fightin' an' such...

I expect all o' these
cute little critters

must be plum tuckered out.

WHAT'RE YOU TRYING T' DO YOU
BLUE BLOB SABOTAGE OUR PLAN?!

GO TAKE A HIKE!

Those aren't
Auxiliary Ladies!

Don't be distressed just
prepare for trouble!

When I get outta this dress
you better make it double!

To protect the world
from devastation.

To unite all peoples
within our nation.

To denounce the evils
of truth and love.

To extend our reach
to the stars above.

Jessie!

James!

Team Rocket blast off
at the speed of light!

Surrender now or prepare
to fight fight fight fight!

Hey get your own line!

That's right!

Not you again!

Well now that
you little twerps

are all worn out
from battlin',

we'll take that
Pikachu off your hands!

Not so fast,
we got a new friend

who's rested an' ready
t' chomp on some chumps!

I CHOOSE.... TOTODILE!

IT'S GONNA BITE US!

We bit off more
than we can chew!

IT BIT ME AGAIN IT'S GOT MY
HAIR GET THIS THING OFF ME!

MY HAIR'S RUINED!

ARBOK GO!

WELL DON'T JUST STAND THERE
LOOKING HELPLESS HELP ME!

Go Weezing!

Arbok forget Pikachu
and get that Totodile!

Totodile Bite Attack now!

Great..now whip
it around it!

Nice shot.

I wonder why that
Totodile's dancing!

I'd dance too if I just
clobbered Meowth an' Arbok!

Weezing retaliate with
a sloppy Sludge Attack!

The jig's up.
For us.

But that Totodile's
still doing it!

Totodile finish it off
with your Scratch Attack!

Weezing don't
stand for that!

Great.. now hit 'em with
your Water g*n..now!

Those twerps made
fools of us again!!

Yes and the pathetic part

is that we didn't even
need their help this time.

Well it's like
I always say...

Team Rocket's
blasting off again.

That was great Totodile!

I've never seen a Pokémon

that's as happy an' energetic
as (this) Totodile!

It's almost as happy
an' energetic as Ash!

Well Ash..I couldn't've
handled that Totodile

any better myself!

Thanks.

We've been friends
for a long time

so I think it's important
for you t' know

that I've decided I'm not
jealous that you won Totodile...

especially since
I've had a chance

to think about the way
things turned out!

That's a very mature
way t' look at it Misty.

Why would I want a Totodile
who does whatever it wants

when I can have
a dreamy Poliwhirl

who evolves just for me?!

You're the best Pokémon a
girl could ever ask for!

I got a Totodile!

Now, with Totodile in tow,

Ash and his Friends are
ready to hit the road

to Goldenrod City

as they Continue on
their Journey to Johto.
