04x39 - Control Freak!

[bunniefuu]

male narrator: Another day,
another picturesque location

and another delicious,
nutritious meal

being prepared
for people and Pokémon alike

under the strict supervision
of our man Brock.

- Everything's ready.

Come and get it, Golbat!

How is it buddy?

- [crunching]

- Boy, Brock, your Golbat
sure has a good appetite, huh?

- That's no big surprise.

Brock makes delicious
Pokémon food.

All the Pokémon gobble it up.

- Pika, pika.

- [trills]

- [chirps]

- Hey!

Golbat, where you going?

Come back here!

- What's up with Golbat?

- I don't know,
but we better go find out.

- [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

- Golbat!

Slow down a little, will you?

Huh?

[gasps]

Miss.
Miss!

- Huh?

- Hello.

I think you must've passed out.

- [gasps]

Where is it?

Where's my detector?

Oh.

Just look at it.

My detector's destroyed!

- Is it a supersonic detector?

- Yes.

- Huh.
Let me see.

- [chirps]

- Okay.

Miss, would you have
a laptop computer with you?

- Uh, yeah, I have one.

- Then I just may have a way
to solve your problem.

- Oh, that would be wonderful.

- Don't you worry.

We'll have this working
in no time.

- I can't
thank you enough, Brock.

I've already spent all the funds
on this research.

I don't have any money left
to buy new equipment.

- Exactly what kind of research
are you doing here, Tierra?

- I'm here an on archeological
study Brock.

I've been trying to find
a secret temple

that's supposed to be buried
somewhere under these ruins.

- So that's why you have
that supersonic thing!

- Your detector must've been
what attracted Golbat.

- Look,
this is what brought me here.

This tablet says
that thousands of years ago,

there was a queen who was able
to control Pokémon

without catching them

by using a mysterious
golden mask and staff.

The tablet also says that
the queen had a secret temple

where she kept
the mask and staff hidden

so her enemies
couldn't steal it.

- If I discover that temple,

I might be able to find
the queen's mask and staff

and uncover their secrets.

- Wow, imagine if that stuff
really worked.

- You could make Pokémon
do anything you wanted them to.

- If I had
that mask and that staff,

I'd be the greatest Pokémon
trainer in the whole world.

- Pi?

- The twerp's getting excited.

- And who wouldn't be excited
about a way to control Pokémon?

- With that mask and staff,

we could finally
get their Pikachu!

- Pikachu would
just be the beginning.

If we could control Pokémon,

we could catch as many of them
as we wanted.

- We could give half
to the boss

and sell the other half
on the side.

[laughter]

- Well, that's it, Tierra.

No problem.

You're all set.

- Uh, but what about
the supersonic detector?

- Oh, sorry, that detector's
totally unfixable.

- But without that--

- I've got something
just as good.

Golbat, Supersonic!

- [high-pitched shriek]

- What do you think?

- Incredible!

How did you do it, Brock?

- I rejiggered
some of the software

so your laptop could download
and display ultrasound data

from Golbat's Supersonic waves.

- That's just amazing!

- Brock did
almost the same thing

when we got lost inside
Dr. Anna's Pokémon Clinic.

- Brock's great with Pokémon
and with computers!

- Hey, look!

That must be
the queen's hidden temple!

- Looks like
it's pretty far down, Tierra.

- Do you have any
kind of digging equipment?

- I did, but it got destroyed

when a giant column
I was lifting

fell right on top of it
and crushed it.

- Don't worry
about digging, Tierra.

I think I can solve
that problem too.

- Geodude.

- Geodude,
there's a temple underground,

and we need to get there.

- Geodude!

Dude, dude, dude.

- This is just great, Brock!

Now thanks to you, I'll be able
to explore that temple

and maybe even find
the mask and staff.

- Yeah.

I guess we're both pretty lucky

that Golbat brought us together,
aren't we?

- We've got to get into
that temple before they do.

What's your plan, Meowth?

- This one better be
a good one, Meowth!

- Don't worry about that.

Just take a look
at my new secret weapon.

both:
Wha?

- I call it
the Dugtrio Digatron!

Come on, let's get inside.

- This is quite an impressive
piece of equipment.

- The Dugtrio Digatron's
specially designed

to drill through anything.

- I wish the seats
were specially designed

for comfortable sitting.

- Quit your complaining.

We'll be down in that temple
in no time!

- Trio, trio, trio.

Trio, trio, trio.
Trio, trio, trio.

Trio, trio, trio.

- You're doing great, Geodude.

Just keep it up!
- Geodude!

- According to this,
it's straight ahead.

Huh?

What's that?

- I don't know.

- Oh no!

Those boulders are blocking
the tunnel we just dug.

- Now we'll have to punch
our way back out.

- What a disaster.

- Hey, what's this?

We're near a room.

Maybe it's the temple.

- Maybe it's best
if head for it, Brock.

When we get there,
we can figure out a way

to get back to the surface.

What do you say?

both:
Let's do it.

- Trio, trio, trio.

Trio, trio, trio.

[all yelling]

[all whimpering]

- Next time,
I'm gonna put in seat belts.

- I guess this must be
the hidden temple.

- Yeah, but where's
that mask and that staff?

- Hey, guys, get a load
of at that giant statue!

both:
Huh?

- It's wearing a mask,

and it's got a staff
in its hand.

[all gasp]

- You're absolutely right
for once, Meowth.

Those must be the mask and staff

we heard the twerps
talking about.

- Uh-huh.
We've got it made.

Now we'll be able
to control Pokémon

without even catching them!

- Now that we got them,

how do we use them
to control Pokémon?

- Maybe we wave
this thing around.

- Here, give me that, Meowth.

A mask with this kind
of regal beauty

was obviously made
to be worn by someone

with my kind of regal beauty.

[grunts]

[both gasp]

- What's wrong?
Is it too tight?

- Maybe your head's too fat.

- [whimpering]

[laughs]

I feel a strange power
surging through me!

- You certainly do seem strange.

- With this mask and this staff,
I'm not the old Jessie.

From this moment on,

I am the queen of all Pokémon!

- That thing's cutting off
your circulation.

- You are my lowly subjects.

Kneel before me!

- With my bad knees?

- Come out, Victreebel.

- [whimpers]

- [screeches]

[both grunt]

- Hey, I didn't tell you
to come out of your Pokéball.

You take orders from me.

- [screeches]
- Go, Victreebel.

Go and attack your master.

- [screeches]

- What're you doing?
Stop!

- See?

I controlled Victreebel.

- That don't prove nothing.

Victreebel always
attacks James that way.

- Wrong!

I have the power to control
any Pokémon I want to!

- Are you sure, Jessie?

- Of course I'm sure.

In fact, I'll prove it to you.

Meowth,

do a little dance
for your queen.

- Ahh!

[groans]

- Huh?

- I wish I could stop

making a dope
out of myself here.

- Then stop
that dreadful dancing!

- Believe me, Jimmy,
I want to stop,

but my body got a mind
of its own.

- Well, now what do you think
of your queen?

both:
Hail Jessie!

- I beg your pardon, oh, Queen.

- [laughs]

Pardon granted this time.

- Geodude!

- Guess this must be the place.

- The twerps!

[all gasp]

- The mask!

And the staff!

Just like it said on the tablet!

Those are priceless artifacts!

- Who's that Pokémon?

- It's Miltank!

- [blabbers]

- Prepare for the worst trouble
you've ever seen!

- With the staff and the mask,
Jessie's the Queen.

- I'll rule the world
with power and might.

- She'll capture Pokémon
without a fight.

- A Queen whose subjects
must all kneel down before me.

- But I'll just kneel
on one knee.

- Jessie, her royal highness!

- James, her lowly--

Hey, wait a second!

- Queen Jessie,
ruling all with power and might!

- You better surrender,

or she'll go on
like this all night.

- Yeah.
Why fight?

all:
Team Rocket!

- Those are priceless pieces
of ancient history,

and they belong in a museum!

- Silence!

They now belong to Queen Jessie!

- But they're artifacts!

- Don't even try
to reason with them.

- Team Rocket doesn't care
about history or archaeology.

- All those three care about

is causing trouble
and stealing Pokémon!

- Pikachu!

- [laughs]

You're so right, twerps!

And today, we're going
to be doing both.

- Pika!

- You're pretty tough,

but Jessie's in control now,
Pikachu!

- Yeah, wait till you see.

She'll have you dancing around,

doing the most embarrassing
stuff you ever seen.

- Do you have to show
just how embarrassing?

- Pikachu,

I rule you!

- Pika!

- It's working.

- Now your precious Pikachu
will do whatever we say!

- Pi--pik--
pikachu!

- Oh, no.

Pikachu!

Don't let them
get to you, Pikachu.

- Pikachu, I command you

to unleash an electric attack
on that twerp!

- Yeah, right.

Pikachu's never gonna attack me

'cause you say so, Jessie.

- Pika.
- Huh?

- Pika...

- Ahh!
Pikachu.

- Chu!

- Ahh!

I guess I was wrong.

- It worked.

- The legend on the tablet
must be true.

- Then Jessie
really can control Pokémon

without having to catch them.

- [laughs]

I told you so, twerps.

Come, Pikachu.

Time for us to go.

- Pika.

- No!

Pikachu!

- That's it.

Obey your queen.

- Pikachu, come back.

- Keep coming.

Right this way.

How do we get this thing
back to ground level?

- Don't ask me, Jessie.

I suppose we just
throw it into reverse.

- I forgot!

There's no reverse.

We got to flip
the rocket upside down

to get back out of here!

- I'll have your head for this!

- Please let me keep my head,
your majesty!

I'll do anything
you want me to, see?

- Please, Meowth,
not the dance again.

- We can't let
Team Rocket get away!

Geodude!
Golbat!

Go rescue Pikachu!

- Geodude!

- Go, Onix!
You too!

- [roars]

- Fool!

The queen has power
over all Pokémon!

- Geodude.

- [roars]

- [gasps]

- She's controlling
Brock's Pokémon too!

- Onix, Golbat, Geodude!

- [roars]

[all gasp]

- Golbat's free.

- You will obey me!

Stop it!

Do what I tell you.
Stay out of my hair.

- What's wrong?

Why ain't Jessie's magic wand
working on Golbat?

- Maybe that staff works

by sending out some kind
of supersonic sound waves.

- Huh?

Hey, maybe Golbat's
using its own Supersonic waves

to counteract the sound waves
that staff gives off.

That must be why Golbat's the
only one Jessie can't control.

Golbat,
do whatever you have to do

to get that staff away from her!

- Geodude, I command you
to stop that Golbat.

- Geodude!

Dude!

- Onix, I command you

to carry our Digatron
back to the surface immediately!

- [roars]

- Onix, no!

- The ceiling!

crash!

- Hey, guys, is everybody okay?

- Yeah.

- I think so.

- How about you?

- I'm fine too, Brock.

- Good.

- Geo.

- Huh?

I knew you'd make it, Geodude,

but where's Golbat?

- I think Geodude
might have knocked it

to the floor someplace.

- It must be buried
under that huge pile of stones.

- You use the escape tunnel Onix
made to get to of this place.

I have to find Golbat.

- Brock, you can't!

- It's dangerous down here!

- There's got to be a way
to find it under--

Huh?

Gol...

- Hey, what's he doing
over there?

- I'm not sure, but I think
he's trying to listen

for Golbat's Supersonic waves!

- That's impossible, isn't it?

- I think the range
for normal human hearing

is between hertz
and about , hertz or so.

A normal person couldn't hear
Golbat's Supersonic waves.

- Maybe a normal person
couldn't,

but I bet Brock could.

- Yeah.

- Where are you Golbat?

Where are you?

[all gasp]

[faint chirping]

[all groan]

- I hear you.

I can hear Golbat!

- Hey, that's great!

I knew you could do it
if anybody could!

- [chirps]

- There's my buddy Golbat!

- Come on, hurry!

[rumbling]

- Thank you, Onix.

Pikachu, this way.

- What are you doing, Jess?

- Now's our chance
to make our getaway.

- This is also our chance
to get revenge on those twerps

for all the times
they've shocked us!

We'll wait here, and when
those kids come crawling up,

Pikachu will hit them
with a giant Thunderbolt!

- Pika.

- Not yet.

I said wait for the--

- Chu!

- What are you doing?

I command you to--

- Pika...

- [screams]

Help!
Pikachu's attacking me!

- Pika!

Pika.

- [gasping]

Huh?

- Pika.

- Pikachu, I command you
to wait for the twerps!

- Pika.

- Hmm.

Whatever.

All right, Pikachu,

shock them when they--

- Chu!

- Jessie?

- [screams]

- Pikachu?

- Pika--

- Let's try again.

Now stay here and wait for--

- Chu!

- I wonder what's going on here?

- I know!

- Do what I tell you!

Why don't you obey me?

- They won't work here!

- Pi?
- Huh?

What won't work?

- It says on the tablet

that the Queen was only able
to use her mask and staff

to control Pokémon
within her home village.

You see those
half-buried stones behind you?

That's the boundary line,

and you're outside it,

so if you want to control
any Pokémon,

you have to stay back in there.

- Oh.

- What do you mean?

- The only way Jessie
can continue her reign

as the Pokémon Control Queen

is if she reigns
in this sandbox!

- It's certainly good
to be the Pokémon Queen.

Oh, but it would be
a royal pain to live here

for the rest of my life.

Oh, what should I do?

What should I--
- Pika!

- Pika...

- [screams]

Let's get out of here!

- Pikachu!

- Pika, pi!

- It's good
to have you back, buddy!

- Prepare for liftoff!

- Meowth, what's going on?

- I neglected to mention
that the Digatron can fly.

Up, up, and away!

- We can't let them get away!

- We've got to save
those artifacts!

- Go, Golbat!

- Go, Noctowl.

Help Golbat!

- [trills]

- Well, I guess this thing's
no good to me now.

- But it's solid gold,
isn't it, Jessie?

- We could sell it
and make a ton of money!

- That's right.

all:
Huh?

- We're being followed!

- Leave this to me!

- [trills]

- Oh, no,
Team Rocket's getting away!

- I guess we can't stop them.

- [chirps]

- Golbat!

You can do it, Golbat!

- What's going on with Golbat?

- Cro.

- Whoa.

- Guys, Golbat just evolved.

- Into what?

- Crobat:
the evolved form of Golbat.

With its two additional wings,

Crobat is able to fly
much faster than Golbat.

- Hey, you can
catch them now, Crobat!

- Cro.

- It's like a rocket.

- Go get them, Crobat!

- Cro!

- Golbat just evolved,
and it's getting closer!

- Make this thing go faster!

- This is as fast as it can go.

- Wobbuffet!

- Crobat, use your wings
to slice up that rocket!

- Cro!

[slashing bursts]

[all screaming]

- Quick, let's grab those.

- Cro.

- If you want a battle,
let's battle!

- We're ready!
- Let's rumble, bat boy!

- No way!
- Huh?

- We'll battle you this time!

Pikachu, use
your Thunderbolt on them!

- Pikachu!

all:
We're blasting off again!

- Wobbu!

- My expedition was a success.

Unfortunately,
the temple was destroyed,

but luckily, the Queen's mask
and staff are safe and sound.

- Yeah, and it's all because
of Brock and Crobat!

- Wasn't that exciting
when Golbat evolved into Crobat

right up in the sky?

I guess Golbat
must've liked Brock enough

to do exactly
what he wanted it to do.

- I guess so.

- Tierra?

- Yes, Brock?

- As much as Golbat liked me,

I like you ten times more,

and I'd like that like to evolve
into something deeper,

so I've decided to stay here

and go on your next dig
with you!

- That idea's batty, Brock.

Let's go.

You're coming with us.

- [giggles]

- Take care everybody!

- Good-bye Tierra!

- Hope we see you later, Tierra!

- I guess controlling Pokémon
would have been cool,

but I like
the old-fashioned way better.

- Yeah, and besides,

it's a lot more fun
to catch a Pokémon

and raise it and train it
and be friends with it,

don't you think so, Brock?

- Huh?

Oh, yeah!

And when you're aiming to be
the world's best breeder,

there's nothing more important
than your Pokémon!

- Yeah, except maybe
a girlfriend, right, Brock?

- Very funny.

narrator:
The sun may be setting,

but our heroes' future
looks brighter than ever.

With a powerful new Crobat
on their side,

they continue their journey
on the road to Johto.

- Let's do it.
