04x22 - The Apple Corp

[bunniefuu]

male narrator: Once again,
we find our heroes on the road

as Ash follows
his dream.

But today he's about to follow
his nose.

- Pi. Pika.

- Huh?
[sniffs]

I smell something too, Pikachu.

Let's go find out what it is.

- Ash, wait up.

- Ah!
- Pika!

- It's an orchard.

- Pika, Pika!

[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

- Wow, that fruit
looks delicious.

- It sure does.

- Togepi!

- Let's go check this out.

- Pika!

- Ash, no.

You can't just help yourself.

That's stealing.

- It's not ill*gal to look.

- Pika, Pika, Pika.

[rattling]

Pi?

[rattling]
Pika?

Pika?

[crunching]

Pika!

- What's that?

- I guess Pikachu
wasn't satisfied

with just looking.

- I'm surprised at you, Pikachu.

I know you're hungry,

but that doesn't
give you permission

to eat whatever you see.

- Pika! Pika!

Pika!
Pika!

all:
Huh?

- I don't see anything up there
but apples.

- Pika.

- Maybe there's some reason...

[all gasp]

- Pi?
Pika!

Pikachu!

Pika!

- Pikachu!

- Pika!

- Well, well, I finally
caught you, you criminal.

So you're the sneaky
little apple poacher

I've been looking for.

- Ah! I've found her.

Where else but in an orchard
could I hope to discover

the sweet and luscious
apple of my eye?

Please accept my apology.

My friend's Pikachu deserves
any and every punishment.

- Pika! Pika!
- Hold it a minute.

My Pikachu says it didn't steal
any fruit, and I believe it.

- How can you believe it
when it's got one of my apples

right in its hands?

What more proof do you need?

- Pi. Pikachu!

- Huh.

- You're not gonna get away
with this.

- Interesting.

Pikachu, open your mouth
as wide as you can.

- Pika.

- Look at those teeth, miss.

Pikachu couldn't have made
these bite marks.

- That's true.

Oh, I'm so sorry
for blaming your Pikachu.

Please forgive me.

- That's okay.

It did look kind of suspicious,
I guess.

- When you work as hard as I do
tending the trees,

it really hurts to know
that somebody's out there

stealing the fruit,

so when I thought
I'd caught the thief,

I suppose I just got
carried away.

- Charmaine, when you said
you tend all the trees here,

did you mean you do it
all by yourself?

- Yes, just me.

- I bet trying to run an orchard
and protect it too

is a lot of work for one person.

- I manage all right,
but now that it's harvest time,

it would be nice
to have some help.

- We have an idea, Charmaine.

Since you've been
so nice to us,

maybe we could
return the favor

and spend the day
helping you pick apples.

- Oh, I couldn't ask you.

- Please, you must allow us
to assist you.

We can work side by side

sweating and toiling
in the broiling sun

or shivering
in the freezing wind and rain

every day
from sunup till sundown.

- Why can't we just buy a bag
of apples from the supermarket?

- I strung these noisemakers
through the trees

so they'll go off
whenever Pidgey come

and try to take the apples.

Isn't that a clever idea?

Clever idea.

- It may be clever,
but unfortunately

my apples
are still disappearing.

- [laughs]

A bunch of dinky little
noisemakers like that

ain't gonna stop me from
grabbing all the apples I want.

This ripe red baby's
all for me.

Down the hatch.

Ah!

What's the idea?

- Why should you have that apple
all to yourself?

- We're a team,
and we're supposed

to share everything equally,
remember?

- James and I haven't eaten
either, you know.

We're starving too.

Hand over that apple, Meowth,

and we'll split it
fair and square.

- Okay, take it easy.

I'm a Cat type,
not a Hog type.

Ah!

- You selfish little glutton.

- Now what do you have to say?

- I didn't eat it, honest.

both:
That's a lie.

[leaves rustling]

all:
Huh?

Huh?

[rattling]

- Those are my noisemakers.

- Pika.

- Pichu.

- Pichu. Pichu.

- Pichu.

- Hurry.

- Pichu!
- Pichu.

- Pi!

- Pi.

- These have the same bite marks

that were on the other apple
you showed me.

- Pika.
- Pikachu!

- Pi.

- Pi, Pi.

all:
Pichu.

- Pika.

all:
Pi!

- Pikachu, chu, chu, chu, chu.

Pika! Pika!

all:
Pichu.

- Pichu!

all:
Pi?

- Pika!

all:
Pichu, Pichu.

Pichu, Pichu.
Pichu, Pichu.

- Pika. Pi?

- [squawking]

- That Fearow has its eye
on something,

and that means trouble.

- And it's heading in the same
direction Pikachu was.

Come on, let's go.

- [squawking]

[all panting]

- Oh, my.

- Let's see.

- Pichu,
the Tiny Mouse Pokémon,

the pre-evolved form of Pikachu.

Despite their size, Pichu
release bursts of electricity

that can shock even humans.

However, Pichu are unskilled
at controlling their electricity

and sometimes release it
by accident,

when surprised,
or when laughing

and shock themselves.

- So these are the Pokémon

that have been stealing
all my apples?

- Cute, aren't they?

- [squawking]

- Pichu!

- Ah! The Fearow!

- [squawking]

[all whimpering]

[squawking]

- Pi.
- Pichu!

- [squawking]

all:
Pichu!

- [squawking]

all:
Pichu.

- [gasps]

- The Pichu stunned Fearow,

but they shocked themselves
with that attack too.

- [squawking]

all:
Pichu.

- [squawking]

- Pichu.

- [squawking]

all:
Pichu!

- Pika!

- [squawking]

- Pikachu!

- [squawking]

- Another great job, Pikachu.

- Pi. Pika.

- Pichu.

all:
Pichu. Pichu. Pichu.

Pichu. Pichu. Pichu.
Pichu. Pichu.

- Pichu.
Pichu.

[stomach growling]

- Pika.

[stomachs growling]

all:
Pichu.

- I don't think they've eaten
for quite a while.

- These Pichu
must have been taking the fruit

so their hungry friends
would have something to eat.

- Come to think of it,
there was a report in the paper

that said that wild fruit growth
in the forests

was a lot lower this year
than usual.

- Pikachu.
Pika. Pika.

- [giggles]

Don't worry.

Okay, go ahead.

all:
Pichu.

- Don't be afraid.
They're all for you.

all:
Pichu!

[crunching]

- Boy, the Pichu
really love those apples.

- I know they're very hungry,
but the problem

is that they love the apples
so much

that they'll never
leave the orchard now.

They'll eat the apples
faster than I can pick them.

I can't let that happen.

- Pika.

- Hmm.

Hey, I know.

- Pika?

- Who's that Pokémon?

It's Snubbull.

- Snubbull.

all:
Hmm!

- Look, them trees
is loaded

with ripe, juicy apples.

- Yes, and they're all ours
for the picking.

Free food.
[laughs]

- We won't have to worry
about having something to eat

for a long, long time.

- Huh?

[Pidgey squawking]

- Okay, sound the alarm,
Pikachu.

- Pika!

Pika, Pika!
Pikachu!

all:
Pichu!

[Pidgey squawking]

all:
Pichu!

[Pidgey squawking]

- Pichu!
Pichu. Pichu!

- Pichu.
- Pichu! Pichu! Pichu!

- Pichu!

all:
Pichu!

- Pichu!

all:
Pichu! Pichu!

- Ash was right.

The Pichu are doing exactly

what he and Pikachu
taught them to do.

- They must be protecting
the orchard

to pay you back for the fruit.

- I think you're right, Misty.

- Is that it?

- That's right, Charmaine.

And that's not all
they can do.

Okay, we're ready
for stage two, Pikachu,

so show the Pichu
what they do next.

- Pika!

Pika.

Pika, Pika.

- Pichu?

- Pika.

Pika. Pika. Pika.

- Pichu!

Pichu. Pichu.

all:
Pichu. Pichu.

- Pichu.

- Pichu.
- Pichu.

- They're not only protecting
the orchard, Misty.

They're helping pick the apples.

- And just for Charmaine.

- With the Pichu pitching in,

I could pick more apples
than I ever picked before.

- Instead of being enemies,
Charmaine, you and the Pichu

could become partners
just like Pikachu and I are.

- Pika! Pika!

all:
Pichu.

- Pichu!

- Time for a break, everybody.

After working so hard,
you all must be hungry,

so I thought
you might like to relax

and snack on some of the apples
you've been picking.

all:
Pichu. Pichu.

[crunching]

- [laughs]

The Pichu really love
those apples, don't they?

[crunching]

all:
Pichu?

all:
Huh?

- Look, something's coming.

- Prepare for trouble.
Don't make us be brutal.

- And make it double.
We want all that fruit-al.

- 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.

- Wobbuffet!
- That's it!

I've had enough
of you stealing my line.

- Wobbuffet!

- You're wasting your time.

You're not getting
any of this fruit.

- That's what you think.

- We're not only going
apple picking,

but we're also going
to pick ourselves a Pikachu.

- We're gonna turn this balloon
into a Pikachu fruit basket.

- This is even worse
than Pokémon poachers.

- Don't worry, Charmaine.

We've had a lot of experience
with these three.

We'll take care of them.

- You may have experience,
twerp,

but I don't think you've ever
experienced anything

like our new improved
Team Rocket Super Sucker.

- Go get them.

- Pi!
Pika!

- Here we go.

[air whooshing]

- Pika!

Pika! Pi!

- Pikachu!

- Pikachu!

- [laughs]

This thing sucks up
Pikachu's electric attacks

and stores all its energy
in our battery.

- Pikachu's free electricity
powers the wonderful appliances

that make life worth living.

- Ah, all the comforts
of home.

- Chu!

Pika!

- We have a problem, James.

Pikachu's run out of steam.

- Forget steam.
We need more electricity.

- Don't worry.
We got all the power we need.

Our battery's all charged up
and ready to go.

- Now we're going to show you
how the Super Sucker

is going to change
Team Rocket's luck.

- That's right, twerps.

Instead of blasting off,
we'll be sucking up.

- [laughs]

[laughs]

We sucked up the power.

Now it's apple time.

[air whooshing]

- Hey, cut it out, Meowth.

- You have no right to do this.

Our friend worked hard
to grow all of those apples.

- Togepi.

- Hey, what about the Pichu?

all:
Pichu! Pichu. Pichu. Pichu!

- The Pichu must want
to defend the orchard.

- This is dangerous.

They may not be strong enough
to do it.

- Pichu!

all:
Pichu!

[all yelling]

all:
Pichu.

- Them Pichu might be
puny Pokémon,

but together they pack
a pretty powerful punch.

- Oh, quit babbling
and do something

to get rid
of those rotten runts.

- Teach them a lesson.

Then let's go before Pikachu
gets its power back.

- Okay, this ought
to blow them away.

all:
Pichu!

- Pichu!

Let them pick on somebody
their own size.

- No!
- Huh?

- Look.

- Pichu.

- Pichu.
- Pichu.

- Amazing.
They just won't give up.

all:
Pichu. Pichu.

- Pichu.

- Togepi.

- Pichu!

- Pichu!
- Pichu!

- Pichu!

- What are those pesky Pichu
up to?

- Pichu!
Pichu!

- Pichu!
Pichu.

- Pichu.
- Pichu.

- Pichu.
- Pichu.

- Pichu.
- Pichu.

- Pichu.
- Pichu.

- Look, they--

- They're trying to revive
ole Pikachu.

- We're in luck.
So's Pikachu.

- Huh?

- Each one of those Pichu
is like a little battery,

and they're all hooked up
to Pikachu.

- All right.

all:
Pichu!

- Pika!

- With all that Pichu juice
flowing,

Pikachu should be powered
back up in no time.

- Togepi!

- We'll see.

- Pika!

[electricity crackling]

- Guys, look at Pikachu.

Pikachu, use your Thunderbolt.

- Pikachu!

all:
Pichu!

- Chu!

- [laughs]

Thanks, Pikachu.

The more you shock us,

the more you charge up
our battery.

all:
Pichu!

- Chu!

- Pichu!

- Chu!

all:
Pichu.

- Chu!

- Pichu!

- Chu!

- James, what's going on?

What's happening?

all:
Pichu!

- Chu!

- Ah! We stored up
way too much electricity.

Our battery pack is destroyed.

- Not only that,
but my DVDs are fried.

- So's my automatic icemaker.

- Wobbuffet!

- Pika! Pika!

all:
Pichu!

[expl*si*n]

[Pichu screaming]

- Pika!

all:
We're blasting off again!

- Wobb!

all:
Pichu! Pichu!

- Pi. Pikachu!

- Pikachu!

- Pi.
Pika, Pi!

- That was great.

Are you all okay?

- Pichu, Pi.

all:
Pichu.

- I don't know
how I could ever thank you.

all:
Pichu! Pichu!

Pichu! Pichu!
Pichu! Pichu!

- Look, guys, the Pichu
really love Charmaine,

and Charmaine really loves
the Pichu too.

- Lucky Pichu.

- I've decided
that the Pichu and I

are going to be partners
from now on.

- Wow, that's a great idea.

- Mm-hmm, they can help me
protect the orchard,

and I'll let them have
all the fruit they want,

and everybody'll be
a lot better off.

all:
Pichu!

- [laughing]

- You and the Pichu are gonna be
best of friends, Charmaine.

- Pika! Pika!

all:
Pichu! Pichu!

- [laughing]

all:
Pichu! Pichu!

- I have a feeling
that from now on,

this is gonna be just about
the sunniest apple orchard

in the whole world.

[singing]
- Pokémon Johto

Pokémon Johto

- Thanks again, Charmaine.

- Pikachu!

all:
Pichu!

narrator:
Though they started out as foes,

the Pichu are now protectors
of the orchard,

where they'll live and work
side by side

with their newfound friend.

Our heroes' peacemaking efforts

have borne the sweetest fruit
of all.

- Let's do it.
