04x10 - A Hot Water Battle

[bunniefuu]

- Our heroes are still
on their way to Ecruteak City.

They're not there yet,
but they're hot on the trail.

[all grunting]

- It's kind of warm here.

- Pi...

Pikachu!

- It's not warm here.

It's hot!

- Hey,
look up in that banana tree!

[Aipom chattering]

- Pika!
Pika?

- Those are Aipom.
[Togepi chirps]

- Aipom: the Long Tail Pokémon.

Aipom is able to climb
and hang from branches

using its powerful tail.

Aipom live atop tall trees.

- Those are cool.

But it's the bananas
that look good right now.

- Pika!

- Let's go get some, Pikachu!

- Pika!

- Whoa!
- Pika!

- Ash is funny.

- Anybody can be funny
slipping on a banana peel.

It's a no-brainer.

- I see what you mean.

[Togepi chirps]

- [singing]
Pokémon, Pokémon, Pokémon

- Let's do it.

I wanna be the very best

Like no one ever was

Ever was, ever was

To catch them is my real test

To train them is my cause

My whole life has led to this

Time to test my skills

I know I just can't miss

Gonna show the world

Born to be a winner

- Johto

- Born to be a champion

Born to be a winner

Born to be the very best

- Pokémon
- Johto

- Born to be a winner

Pokémon

[both moaning]

- Are you guys just gonna
sit in that water all day?

[Togepi chirps]

- Yeah. Come on in!

- Huh?

- This lagoon's fed by
an underground hot spring!

- Pika!

- It's like a warm bath!

- Sounds nice.

[Togepi chirps]

- The hot spring's
what keeps this whole area warm.

- Yeah.
It's just like the tropics!

- This is great.

I say we stay here all day
and relax.

You know: swim, sun, goof off.

- Pika! Pika!

- Sounds like fun, right,
Pikachu?

- Hey, guys, why don't we

let our Pokémon
have some fun too?

- Great idea.
Come on out, everybody!

- Time to hit the beach, guys!

- Your next play date is today!

- Totodile!

- Chikor!

[Noctowl trills]

- Bulba!

- Cyndaquil!

[Pokémon chatter indistinctly]

- Okay, here we go!

- Pika!

- Toto!

- Cynda!

- Chikor!

[Psyduck honks]
- Pi--Pika!

- Chikor!

[Totodile roars]

- Cyndaquil!

- Whoa.

Well, Totodile,

in most stadiums,
that'd be a home run.

- Chikor!

Chikor! Chikor!

- Totodile!

[both grumbling]

[Chikorita snaps hair]

[both grunt]

- Chikorita!

Chikor!

- Cyndaquil!

[Totodile roars]

[Chikorita, Totodile,
and Cyndaquil grumbling]

- The Pokémon sure are having
a blast, aren't they, Misty?

- If you ask me, it looks like
they're having a fight.

- Chikorita!

- Cyndaquil!

- Totodile!

- Hey, guys.
Misty thinks you're fighting.

Let's show her she's wrong.

Go find that ball,
and let's play some more.

See, Misty?
They get along just like we do.

- I sure hope not.

- Chikor?

[Aipom chatters]

- Chikor! Chikor!

- Aipom, pom, pom!

- Chikor!

- Totodile!

[crashes]

[Aipom chatters]

[Totodile grunts]

[Aipom chattering]

- Chikor!
- Cynda!

[Aipom chattering]

[Chikorita and Cyndaquil
whimpering]

[Aipom chattering]

[Cyndaquil squealing]

[Chikorita chirps]

[Aipom chattering]

[Cyndaquil continues squealing]

Cynda!

[Totodile roars]

Toto, toto, toto, toto, toto,
dile!

[Totodile roars]

- We've been walking through
this jungle for hours, James.

How much further is this place?

- According to the guidebook,

the hidden springs should be
just a few minutes away.

- Well, I can't wait
to get out of this uniform

and into those relaxing waters!

First, I'll take
a soothing whirlpool bath,

then a dip in the hot spring

followed by
a refreshing milk bath.

A rosewater rinse will be
a flowery finishing touch.

Then it's off to a simply
scrumptious candlelight banquet

with a fabulous floorshow
featuring footloose folk dance!

[both munching]

- I like this place already.

It may be a bit warm,

but the tropical fruit
is fresh and free!

- And don't forget
the hot spring!

- Those hot springs
leave me kind of cold.

- I know
you don't like to get wet,

but at least
give the hot springs a try.

- Maybe you'll warm up to them.

- Who wouldn't want to take
a break from tedious travelling

to lie back and let those
warm wondrous waters

wash away every ache
and massage every muscle?

Shame on you.

I say hot springs for me,
hot springs for you,

and hot springs for everybody!

- Wobba!

- When I said,
"hot springs for everybody,"

I didn't have you in mind,
Wobbuffet.

- Wobba!

- All right, you can come too!

[Aipom screaming]

all: Hmm?

[all scream]

- Jaywalkers.

Hmm?

[gasps]

Our fruit's gone!

[indistinct chattering]

- Something else is on the way!

[Chikorita, Cyndaquil,
and Totodile scream]

- Chikor! Chikor!

- Cyndaquil!

- Toto!

- You know what?

- Those three looked familiar.

- They looked just like
the twerp's Pokémon!

- Wobba!

- Judging from
the elementary fact

that the twerp's Pokémon
are here,

one can easily deduce
that the twerp himself

is quite likely
somewhere nearby.

And because they appeared
to be chasing a beach ball,

I would surmise that
a beach is also in the vicinity.

- That can't be, Jim.

We're no place near the ocean!

- Your observation is correct,
my dear Meowth.

There is no beach nearby.

Ergo, the hot spring
must be nearby!

Find the spring,
and we shall have our twerp!

- Brilliant deduction.

We've chased that little brat
and his Pokémon for years,

and now we we've got them
just where we want them.

I can't wait
to get to that hot spring!

Come on, let's follow them!

- Right!

- Aipom!

- Toto, toto, toto!

[Chikorita chirping]

- Cynda?

[Cyndaquil whimpers]

- Chikorita!

[Cyndaquil whimpers]
- Chikor! Chikor!

- The Pokémon went in there.

It must be a shortcut
to the hot spring!

- Wobba!

[footsteps thudding]

both: It's Snorlax!

- Wait. Stop!
Put me down.

Oh, Jessie, Meowth, help me!
It's got me.

Save me!
- Come back!

- I think Snorlax
wants to eat him!

- We've got to stop it!

Do something and fast!

- Wobba!

- Huh?

- That's Bide Attack.

- This is no time
to bide your time!

- Jessie, Meowth, hurry!
Do something.

Help me!
[Snorlax roars]

- All you got to do

is slip your arms
out of those straps!

- Okay.

- That was easy!

[Snorlax munches]

- It's still hungry!

[footsteps thudding]
- Lax!

[crashing]

[Snorlax grumbles]

- Look.
Snorlax is blockin' the exit.

Ain't that ill*gal?

- I learned a long time ago

that where there's an exit,
there's an entrance.

Don't look back!

Head for the hot spring!

- Yeah!

[Aipom chattering]

- Toto, Totodile!

- Chikor!
Chikor!

- Cyndaquil!

Cyndaquil!

- Don't worry.

We'll find that hot spring.

Just keep going!

- Okay, Jess, I'm with you.

[Totodile yelps]

- Toto!
[Meowth yelps]

- Jessie.
James?

[screams]

They left me.
They abandoned me!

- Toto!

- Just 'cause
Jessie and James ain't here

don't mean you're gonna
get away with it,

you leathery little--

I can catch Pokémon
as good as humans do!

[rumbling]

[Totodile yelps]

- Uh-oh!

- Who's that Pokémon?

It's Wigglytuff!

[Snorlax snoring]

[Meowth and Totodile scream]

- Hey.
What's that?

[rumbling]

[Snorlax snoring]

[Chikorita and Cyndaquil
whimpering]

- What's happening?

[Snorlax snoring]

[Meowth and Totodile scream]

[rumbling]

[Meowth screams]

Ooh!

[boulder smashes]

[Chikorita and Cyndaquil
screaming]

[all screaming]

[boulders smash]

[all screaming]

[boulders smash]

- [groans]

Where'd it go?

Huh?

Hey, Totodile!

[Totodile roars]

- Thanks for saving me, pal!

- Totodile!

- I was tryin' to catch you.

Why did you save me?

- Totodile!

- Just 'cause I'm a fellow
livin' creature like you?

That's one of most beautiful
things I ever heard!

- Totodile!

- [crying softly]

I hate to say it, but it looks
like we're trapped, buddy.

I guess I'm gonna spend
the rest of my nine lives here.

- Totodile!

- Wha?

- Dile!

- It's no use.

Water g*n can't cut through
these walls.

- Totodile!

- Well, if it makes you
feel better, spray away!

- Toto!

[Cyndaquil squealing]
- Chika!

Chika!

[Cyndaquil squealing]

Chikor.

- Cyndaquil!

- Quil!
Quil!

Cyndaquil!

Quil!

- Chika!

Chika!

Chik--Chika!

- Cynda!

- Chikor!

[Snorlax snores]

[Cyndaquil and Chikorita
screaming]

[both panting]

[both squeaking]

- Chika!

Chika!

- Totodile!

- Huh?

- Cyndaquil!

- Chika!

- Totodile!

[all chattering excitedly]

- Have you two seen my friends
Jessie and James around?

- Chikor.
- Cynda.

- I suppose
I got to face facts.

They left me her to rot.

- Quil!

- Chikor.
- Toto.

- You three guys
don't even know me,

and you're trying
to cheer me up?

- Chiko!
- Quil!

- Totodile!

- You're the best friends
I never had.

[quiet thudding]

[crashing]

[both gasp]

- This is it!

- Eureka!

The hot spring
we've been looking for!

- [giggles]
I can't wait.

The last one in
is a rotten Exeggcute!

- Here I come!

Whee!
[thuds]

[Aipom chattering]

- They don't look very relaxed,
do they?

[Aipom chattering]

[Jessie and James whimpering]

- The nerve of them.

I didn't come all this way
to be pelted with produce!

- Wobbuffet!

- Those little hooligans

have no right
to keep us big hooligans out!

[Aipom chattering]

- [screams]

Let us in there!

- Wobbuffet!

- Chiko.
Chiko, chiko, chiko.

- You're sorry
about fighting back there?

You fight like I do
with Jessie and James?

- Totodile!

- That's big of you to apologize
to your friends like that!

- Quil! Quil!

- You don't even remember

what you was fighting about,
huh?

Maybe when it comes to fighting,

sometimes it's good
to have a bad memory!

- Chiko!

- Dile!

- Quil!

[faint rumbling]

- Chikor!

[all exclaim]
- Hey, what's up Chicky?

- Chiko, chiko!

- Whatever you say!

- Chika.

Chika!

- Chickorita says
there's an exit over that way.

Come on, guys, let's go see!

- Chiko, chika!

- The whole thing's
blocked with rocks!

- Toto!

- Cyndaquil!
- Chika!

- Let me use
a little Meowth muscle!

[both gasp, laugh]

- Hmm.

They're not back yet.
- Pikachu.

- We better go look for 'em.

- Pika!

[boulders crashing]

- Yay!
- Whee!

[all chattering excitedly]

- Snorlax!

- Oh!

[Snorlax snores]

- If Snorlax
won't move its behind,

we're the ones
who are gonna have to move it.

[Totodile chatters]

- Chika!

- Chika, chika, chika, chika!

[Snorlax snores]

[Totodile roars]

[Snorlax grumbles]

- Cyndaquil!

- [Snorlax yelps]

Snor!

[crash echoes]

[all chattering excitedly]

- Well, I'm happy to see
you're all back together again.

'Cause now I can catch
all three of you!

[screams]

[all scream]

- [laughs]

Don't get me wrong, guys.

I'm grateful and everything
for you helpin' me out and all,

but no matter what,
I'm a Team Rocket member

first, last, and always!

- Chika!

- Toto!
- Cynda!

- [laughs]

And now
you're gonna help me again,

'cause you're the bait I'm using
to catch Pikachu!

[footsteps thudding]

- Snorlax!

- Hey, don't blame me, Snorlax.

I didn't do nothin'.
It was them.

They was the ones
what burned you!

- Snor?

[all exclaim]

- Lax!

- If you don't believe me,

at least give me a head start!

[screams]

- Snorlax!

- You got to believe me.

For once in my life,
I ain't lying!

- Snor!

[crashes]

[rumbling]

- What was that?

- Thunder?

[water rushing]

[Aipom chattering]

[all screaming]

- What's going on here?

This isn't a hot spring.
It's a tidal wave!

- Maybe it's not a tidal wave.
Maybe it's spring flooding!

- Wobbuffet!

- I don't know about you,

but I wasn't prepared
for trouble!

- I wish Jessie and James
was here!

Oh!

[rumbling]

[all screaming]

[rumbling]

[Chikorita, Cyndaquil,
and Totodile scream]

[Snorlax snores]

[all chattering]

- Chikorita.

Cyndaquil!

- Totodile!

- Pika!

- I'm gettin' worried, guys.

Where could they all've gone?

- Ash, quick.
Look what's coming!

- Huh?
- Huh?

[water rushing]

[Chikorita, Cyndaquil,
and Totodile chattering]

- Chikorita, Cyndaquil,
Totodile, hang on!

I'm coming to save you!

- Ash, wait!
You can't!

- I have to!

- Ash,
that current's way too strong.

You'll be swept away
along with the Pokémon!

- Chika!

Chika!

Chika!

[Totodile grumbling]

- Chika!

- Toto!
- Quil!

- Chikorita,

Totodile,

Cyndaquil!

- Chika!

- Totodile!
- Cyndaquil!

- The current's too strong.

We can't dive in and save you.

Try to steer Snorlax
closer to the shoreline!

- Ash, look downstream!

[both gasp]

- A waterfall!

- Chika!

[trees crash]

- Toto!

- Chika!

Chika!

- Quil!

[Totodile grumbling]

- Chika!

- Quil!

[Totodile grumbling]

[wood crackling]

- [grunting]

Just hang in there!

[grunting]

[Totodile, Chikorita,
and Cyndaquil chatter excitedly]

- [laughs]

Well, guys, what do you say
we go back to the beach?

- Pika! Pika!

- You promise you won't go away
on your own like that again?

[all exclaim]

- Pi.

Pika! Pi!

- Who wants to hit the old
beach ball around some more?

[Pokémon all chatter excitedly]

- Chikorita, Totodile,
and Cyndaquil

worked out their differences,

pulled together,

and got through
an exciting adventure.

Now they're friends again,

and after they've enjoyed
some rest and relaxation,

they'll set out once more
on the road to Johto.

[Snorlax snoring]

- Maybe this
wouldn't have happened

if you hadn't been dreaming

about relaxing
in that hot spring, Jess.

- Just another one of my dreams
that didn't come true.

- Well, I guess the best thing
to do now

is to swim away.

[Snorlax grumbles]

- Snor! Snor!

- Team Rocket's
drifting off again!

- Wobbuffet!

- Let's do it.
