04x27 - All That Glitters!

[bunniefuu]

male narrator: Our friends
are still on the road

to the Johto League.

Their new destination:
Olivine City,

where Ash hopes to earn
his next badge.

Right now, Brock and Misty are
ready to polish off some lunch,

But Ash has a different kind
of polishing on his mind.

- [chirps]

- One Zephyr Badge,
one Hive Badge,

one Plain Badge,

and one brand new Fog Badge.

[laughs]

Four down and four to go.

- He's been shining that thing
all morning, Brock.

- Better be careful, Ash.

If you keep this up,

you're gonna shine
a hole through it.

Maybe you should give them
to me and Misty.

We'll hold them.

- [laughs]

Don't you worry.

These badges are safe with me.

- Pika, pika!

- [trills]

[ominous music]

- [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

- Well, this is the moment
you've been waiting for.

Brock's incredible, edible
mystery stew is finally ready.

- Come on, Ash,
let's see if we can guess

what's in it this time.

- Go ahead and start.

I'm just polishing up
this last badge.

- Pika?
- [chirps]

- What's the matter, Pikachu?

You hear something?

[bushes rustle]

- What do you think
those things are?

- Beats me.

- Pika.

- They sort of look like
three feather dusters.

- [trills]

- Pi, pi, pi!

- Be careful, Togepi.

it might be dangerous.

- [chirps]

- Murkrow!

Murkrow!
- Murkrow!

- Murkrow!

- [chirps]

- Pika?

- Hey, Murkrow.

- Murkrow: the Darkness Pokémon.

Murkrow confuse
would-be attackers

by luring them
onto dark mountain trails

where they are sure to get lost.

- Murkrow.
- Murkrow.

- Murkrow.

all:
Murkrow.

[all babbling]

- Pika, pika.

- [trills]

- They seem like pretty nice
Pokémon to me.

- Yeah, it doesn't seem like
they'd be the types

that'd get you lost
on some mountain.

- And they really know
how to put on a show too.

[all chanting]
Murkrow, murkrow,

murkrow,
murkrow, murkrow,

murkrow, murkrow.

- Murkrow!

- Murkrow!
- Murkrow!

- [giggles]
Murkrow.

- Murkrow.
Murkrow.

- Murkrow.

both:
Oh, no.

- They took your badges.

- Pika!

all:
Krow, murkrow.

- Hey, you can't take those!

They're mine.

- Bring them back right now!

- Pika, pika!

all:
Krow, murkrow.

Krow!

- I changed my mind
about Murkrow.

They're not so nice.

- [chirps]

- Well, if that's the way
they want to play.

Noctowl, I choose you.

- [chirps]

- Noctowl, Tackle attack
that tree!

all:
Mur!

- Great job!

Ahh!

- What is that?

- The Murkrow are using
their Mud-Slap attack.

- Murkrow!

both:
Murkrow!

- Go follow those Murkrow!

- [hoots]

[hoots]

all:
Murkrow.

- [hoots]

- Now what are they doing?

- The Murkrow
seem to be using Double Team,

but I've never seen Pokémon do
a Double Team that fast before.

- Murkrow!

- Murkrow!
- Murkrow!

- [hoots]

- Noctowl, return.

This isn't over!

all:
Murkrow!

[laughter]

- Those Murkrow are obnoxious.

They put on that song and dance
just to trick us.

- Yeah, they must've planned on
stealing Ash's badges all along.

- I don't care
if they're nice or not.

Nobody gets away with stealing
badges from me.

- Pikachu.

[all cawing]

both:
Krow.

- Krow.

all:
Krow, krow,

krow, krow, krow.

- Those Murkrow have to be
around here somewhere.

- I'm pretty sure I saw them
fly off in this direction.

- Pika.

- Well, it's time
to put Golbat on the case.

Go, Golbat!

- [chirps]

- Okay, Golbat,
find those Murkrow.

- Golbat.

- Great idea, Brock.

Golbat's Supersonic should track
them track down in no time.

- You go get them, Golbat.

- Pika, pika!

- [trills]

- [chirping]

- We're in luck, guys.

I think Golbat
may have found them already.

- Let's find out.

- Mur!

all:
Murkrow.

- Hey, what are you doing?

all:
Krow?

- I get it.

The Murkrow
brought your badges here

so they could play with them
in the sun.

- They must like them
because they're so shiny.

- Okay, guys, I let you
play with them for a while.

Could I have them
back now please?

all:
Mur.

Mur.
Mur.

- Thanks, Murkrow.

I guess you can see
how important

those badges are to me.

all:
Murkrow.

- Careful.
This could be another trick.

- Don't trust them, Ash.

They might be planning
something.

- They are--they're planning
to give my badges back.

Don't be so suspicious.

Don't mind them.
I trust you.

- Krow.

- Ahh!

- Pika, pi!
- You see?

- Fooled again!

- I guess we can't trust
those Murkrow no matter what.

- Yeah. you were right.

That's the last time
they fool me.

[laughter]

- Follow them, Golbat.

Don't let them get away.

- [chirps]

all:
Murkrow.

Murkrow.

- Return.

Ash, use Pikachu.

- Pikachu, Thundershock Attack!

- Pikachu!

[all groaning]

- Come on,
let's go get my badges back.

- Pika!

- Pika?

- Ahh!
Pikachu!

- Today's just
not your day, Ash.

- But today is our day,
so prepare for trouble.

- And in honor of that,
you can 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.

- Hey, I got a bite.

all: Hurray, hurray,
Pikachu's the catch of the day.

- Give me Pikachu!

- I'm sorry,
that selection is unavailable.

- Pikachu's the Poké-du-jour,
and it's tres populaire.

- Oui, oui.

- Wobbuffet.

- Hey, I don't
remember seeing you

on the list of daily specials.

- Hate to steal and run,
but we got other French to fry.

- Get back here!

[laughter]

- We cooked up a great plan,
and he's got egg on his face.

all:
Murkrow.

- Hmm?

- Hey, look.
- Three Murkrow.

- Well, what do you want?

- Murkrow!

both:
Murkrow.

[all yelping]

[grunting and yelling]

- My earrings are irreplaceable.

- My charm's in my charm.

- My belt buckle
completes my outfit.

- Krow.

[plastic groans and snaps]

[all yell]

[all scream]

- [panting]

- Pikachu!

- Pika, pi.

- Don't worry, I'm gonna
get you out of this thing.

- I've always hated Murkrow.

They have no respect
for other thieves.

- They didn't
get nothing from me.

- [whimpers]

- What's the matter, Jim?

Did they swipe your belt buckle?

- Look.
Look right over there.

both:
Huh?

all:
Murkrow.

Murkrow.

- Ah, my collection!

My bottle cap collection.

[all sigh]

- Those Murkrow!

- Don't put my caps
in your dirty beaks!

Those caps are all
in mint condition!

I've drunk enough soda pop
to float an aircraft carrier

to get that bottle cap
collection.

Right now!
Ready or not!

Those caps belong to me!

[whimpers]

Ahh!

all:
Murkrow.

- Okay, Pikachu, you're free.
- Pika!

all:
Krow! Murkrow!

- Pi!

[all tauntingly murkrow]

- Pika.

Pika!

- They still have my Fog Badge.

Come back here!

- You won't get away with this!

I'll get my bottle caps
from you Murkrow

if it's the last thing I do!

- Forget about getting
those bottle caps!

- Yeah, let's get Pikachu.

[exciting music]

- Give it back!

Give back that Fog Badge!

- Pika pika!

- Stand aside!

- You good-for-nothing,

bottle cap snatching
pile of feathers!

You're going to pay!

- He's lost
what little mind he has.

- Okay, locked on target...

and fire!

all:
Murkrow!

[all grumbling]

- You can't steal from me!

Help me bring in
these cap-nappers.

both:
All right.

- Heave h*!

[screams]

- What's that?

- It ain't Murkrow.

[all screaming]

- That didn't work very well.

- It doesn't take much
to outsmart Team Rocket,

but it's gonna take
some thinking to outsmart them.

- Pika.

[laughter]

- Who's that Pokémon?

It's Bellossom!

[all cawing]

- Looks like you and James
aren't the only ones

those Murkrow have been
stealing shiny stuff from.

- Yeah, they got tons.

- Getting your Fog Badge back
isn't gonna be easy.

Those Murkrow are pretty smart,

and they really know
how to work as a team.

- I know about teamwork too.

If it wasn't for me and my
Pokémon working as a team,

we never would have
won all those badges.

- Pikachu.

- I wouldn't have won anything
without Charizard.

And Pidgeotto!

And Scyther.

And Cyndaquil!

Pikachu's been through it all
with me right from the start.

And Noctowl and I
went head-to-head

with Gengar and Morty
for that Fog Badge.

Every badge I won
belongs to all of us,

and that's why, when anybody
steals a badge from me,

they're stealing it
from all of us!

- Pikachu!

- Let's get it back, Bulbasaur!

- Bulbasaur!

- Okay, Bulbasaur,
use your Vine Whip.

- Saur!

[defiant electric guitar riff]

- Let's get that badge.

- Pika.

- Just yell if you run into
any problems, Ash.

- Be careful of those Murkrow.

- [chirps]

[distant bird caws]

- Pika, pi.

- There it is--
my Fog Badge.

- Bulbasaur, you wait here
while we get closer.

- [whispers]
Bulba.

- Be as quiet as you can,
okay, Pikachu?

- Pika.

- Murkrow.

- Almost there.

- Aha, I got it.

all:
Murkrow!

- Here they come!

- Pika?
- Bulba!

- Cut it out.

Hey, that hurts!
Knock it off!

- Pika pi!
Pika pi!

- It doesn't belong to you.

It belongs to me.

Ahh!

- Look out below!

- Pika!

crash!

[sad trombone slide]

[groans]

- Ash!

- Does anything feel broken?

- Only everything.

- Pikachu.

- Bulbasaur.

[laughter]

[all cawing]

all:
Murkrow?

- Murkrow.

- I think this plan
might work, Misty.

They're looking this way.

- At least we know
we're doing our part.

- [trills]

- All right Brock,
the rest is up to you.

- It looks like Ash and Misty

got the Murkrow's
attention, Pineco.

It's time to move in.

- Pineco.

- Mur.

- Here they come.

Hide.
- Pika.

- We can't let them
see us, Togepi.

- [chirps]

- Murkrow.

Mur.

- Mur.

- [chirps]

- Mur?

- Togepi!
- Oh, no.

- Krow!
Murkrow!

both:
Murkrow!

- Pineco!

- Pineco,
get out of there right now!

- Pineco.

both:
Murkrow!

[all cawing]

- Pineco.

boom!

[laughter]

- Pineco.

- I think we've finally
met our match.

- They sure are tougher
than Team Rocket.

- Well, I don't care.

I'm gonna try to get them
to battle me one more time.

- I don't know, Ash.

They're pretty tricky.

- What's your strategy gonna be?

- Pika.

- I'm gonna
have to use flying Pokémon

to beat flying Pokémon.

Noctowl, I choose you.

- [hoots]

- Noctowl, we got to get
that Fog Badge back.

Do whatever you have to do.

- [hoots]

all:
Krow murkrow.

- Murkrow.

- Murkrow!

all:
Murkrow.

Murkrow.

- Krow.

Murkrow.

both:
Krow murkrow?

- Why is Noctowl
just standing there?

- If it went in flapping
and fighting,

it'd be outnumbered,
but this way,

the Murkrow may let down
their guard.

- Noctowl knows
what it's doing.

I only hope the Murkrow
don't figure out what it is.

both:
Krow!

Krow, murkrow.

Murkrow!

- Murkrow.

Krow?

Krow!

- [hoots]

- All right, it worked.

- Pika!

all:
Murkrow!

[all cawing]

all:
Krow.

- [hoots]

[laughter]

- A giant Murkrow.

- Prepare for trouble.

This is one of our traps.

- Make it double.
I still want my caps.

- Yeah, yeah,
they know the rest.

all:
Why are you back?

- Pi pikachu.

- I'd like
to take this opportunity

to introduce the new
Mega Murkrow Mark Five.

- The extra special options
are gonna blow you away.

Get a load of this one.

[wind hisses]

[all yelling]

- [laughs]

- They got my badge!

- Now, did we get Pikachu?

- My bottle caps!

My super rare bottle caps!

Where are they?

- We didn't come here
to collect your bottle caps!

We came the collect
their Pikachu!

- Bottle caps, bottle caps,
bottle caps, bottle caps.

bottle caps,
bottle caps, bottle caps...

[both groan]

all:
Murkrow!

Krow!

- I'll catch you!

all:
Murkrow!

- Don't worry, I got you.

- Pika, pika.

all:
Murkrow.

- Well, let's demonstrate
some other options.

- Murkrow, fly away.

- This is what we call
the Unbeatable Beak Attack.

[all screaming]

- Murkrow?
- Krow?

all:
Krow?

- You've caused us
quite a bit of trouble.

- You're in
a peck of trouble now.

all:
Murkrow!

- [hoots]

- [screams]

all:
Murkrow!

- [hoots]

- Another feathered foe.

- Don't worry, Meowth.

We'll just use our other option.

- The extrapolating
Clamp Attack.

- Pika!

- They got Pikachu!

- Pika!

[laughter]

both:
We got Pikachu.

There's nothing you can do.

- Hurray, I got
my rarest bottle cap back!

- All right, Meowth,
James is obviously out of it.

- It's just you and me.

Let's finish this up
with a Murkrow Mega Blow.

[all yelling]

- [hoots]

all:
Murkrow.

- [hoots]

- Murkrow!

both:
Krow murkrow.

all:
Murkrow!

- Guys, look, for some reason,

the Murkrow
are following Noctowl.

- Why are they doing that?

- I don't know.
Maybe--

Maybe the Murkrow
are gonna help us after all.

- [hoots]

all:
Murkrow!

- Look--
they think they can win.

- Go ahead and bring
a whole swarm of Murkrow.

You still can't touch us.

- Prepare to deliver
the final blow.

- Aye, aye, captain.

- [hoots]

all:
Murkrow.

- Hey, look, the Murkrow
are following Noctowl's lead.

They're all working together
like a team.

- Maybe they can beat
the Mega Murkrow now.

- Yeah, way to go!

- Hey, buzz off,
you crummy crows.

You're getting in our way.

- Wobbuffet.

- Yeah, and so are you.

- Ahh.

can any joy approach the rapture

of a super rare
bottle cap capture?

- Will you please
get a grip, James?

Help us out here.

- This ain't the time
to be playing with that junk.

- This isn't junk!

- Ahh!

- Why ain't we moving anymore?

- [hoots]

- Murkrow!

- Pika!

- [hoots]

- Pikachu!

- All right, Pikachu.

Hit them with a Thunderbolt!

- Pikachu!

[all screaming]

boom!

- Team Rocket's
blasting off again!

- Wobbu!

[trinkets tinkle]

- [hoots]

- Pi.

Pika, pi!

- All right!

They got the Fog Badge back!

- See how much you can do
when you work together?

- Amazing.

- Pika pika!

- [hoots]

- Murkrow!

all:
Murkrow!

- Back where it belongs.

Well, I guess it's time
for us to be moving on.

- Pika.

- Murkrow!
- Huh?

all:
Krow murkrow.

Krow murkrow.

- Thanks a lot for helping us
out back there, Murkrow.

- Maybe you guys should try
a little less tricking

and a little more helping
once in a while.

- Who knows?
You might even get to like it.

all:
Murkrow, murkrow.

- Thanks again, Murkrow.

Take care of yourselves.

both:
Bye, Murkrow.

See you later.

- Pika, pika!

- [trills]

narrator:
With help from his friends

and an unlikely trio of Murkrow,

Ash was able to get
his badges back safely.

Now he's off once more,

determined to collect the four
remaining badges he needs

to qualify for the Johto League.

- Let's do it.
