05x05 - Mantine Overboard!

Post by bunniefuu »

male narrator:
Ash, Brock and Misty

continue their journeys
in the Whirl Islands.

Today we find them dashing
through the port city of Ogi

as they try to catch the ferry
which will take them

to Red Rock Isle
and the Whirl Cup Competition.

- You know, Ash,
if you didn't have to eat

such a big breakfast,

we would have been able
to get here on time.

- We can make it.

- Pika.

- [boat horn blows]

- Guys, that looked like
our boat.

- Hey, wait for us!
- Pika!

- [singing]
Pokémon!

- No time to question
my moves

I stick to the path
that I choose

Me and my friends
are gonna do it right

You'll never see us
run away from a fight

To be a master
is my dream

All I've got to do
is believe

- I believe

- I've got a chance
to win

I'm on my way
to victory

- Pokémon!
-I can be a champion

If I just believe

I'm on a master quest

- Master quest

- I want the whole world
to see

- I believe

- I'm gonna be
the very best

'Cause all I've got to do
is believe in me

- Pokémon!

- [boat horn blowing]
- Oh, we missed it.

- Guess we'll just have to wait
for the next one.

- Pikachu.

- Oh. Excuse me, sir.

- Could you tell us when
the next ferry will be leaving

for Red Rock Isle?

- That was it.
The ferry only runs once a day.

- [all gasp]

- Once a...

Then we're stuck here
till tomorrow.

- Pika.

- Huh?

- What're we gonna do
till the boat comes?

- We could go see if there's
a Pokémon Center nearby.

- Yeah.
- Pika.

- Hello there.
- Huh?

- It looks like you guys missed
the ferry for Red Rock Isle.

- Yes!

- Yeah, we did.

- And we have to wait a whole
day for the next one to come.

- Hi, I'm Brock
and I'm a Pokémon breeder.

And what is your
lovely name?

- I'm Luka.

That's interesting, Brock,

because I'm studying
the Pokémon

that inhabit
these waters.

- I can help you
with your research, Luka.

Ow! Not the ear.

- Easy, Professor.
You still have a lot to learn.

- Well, if you want to go
to Red Rock Isle today,

I'll be happy to give you a lift
in my boat.

- Wow, could you really?

- Pika.
- [laughs]

- No problem.
It's on the way.

- I knew when I first
set eyes on you

that you would save us all
from this terrible misfortune.

- Hey, look who's here.

- Three twerps,
o'clock.

- Yeah, and with a Pikachu
on top.

Huh?
- What?

Who's that?

I ain't never
seen her before.

- Well, here's the boat.

It may look a little run-down
but don't worry.

It runs well and it'll get us
there safely.

- Oh, no, it's a vision
of loveliness,

very much like yourself,
Luka.

- Well, all aboard.

- All right!

- Oh, wow.

Look at this
diving gear.

It has a device that allows you
to communicate underwater.

- She has a lot
of equipment.

- I wonder what
she's doing with it.

- Pika.

- Luka, what is this?

- Looks to me like
an old sea map.

- Hmm. There's some kind
of mark here.

- I bet I know.
It's a treasure map.

- No way.

- Well, she's not too far off.
- Huh?

- A real treasure?

- You mean gold and silver?

- And pearls and diamonds
and things?

- No, but it's very valuable.

Well, at least to me it is.

- Who's that?

- That's my great-grandfather.

- For three generations my
family has explored these seas,

researching all its
Water Pokémon.

And it all started
with my great-grandfather.

One day, while I was
cleaning out the attic,

I discovered
his secret journal,

and this map
was hidden inside.

In the journal, he wrote
that after long years

of combing the ocean floor,

he had finally acquired
the actual Silver Wing.

- The Silver Wing?

- What's that, Luka?

- You know, it just said
that it's a clue

leading to a mysterious
Pokémon.

- Mysterious.

I wonder if it's the same one
that we saw.

- [roaring]

- Did you see something?

- We're not really sure.

- So what happened
to the Silver Wing, Luka?

- He was returning
from the diving expedition

when his ship,
the I.S.S. Raspberry,

got caught in a whirlpool and
sank to the bottom of the ocean.

- Fortunately,
everyone onboard survived,

but the Silver Wing went down
with the ship.

And when he told people
about it, no one believed him.

- According to his journal,
this was very upsetting to him.

The only way to convince people
was to locate the sunken ship

and recover the Silver Wing.

But all of these missions
ended in failure.

Now it's my job to find
the wreckage

and clear my
great-grandfather's name.

Based on this map
and some calculations

on the morning tide,

I've pinpointed the exact
location of the Silver Wing.

- So now you know
where it is?

- I get it. That's why you put
the X on the map.

- Right. Between my
great-grandfather's map

and my computer,

I was able to solve
an age-old mystery.

- Wow!

Luka, you just have to take us
with you!

- Huh?
- It has been my lifelong dream.

to search
for buried treasure.

- Since when?
- Please, Luka.

I just gotta see the Silver Wing
up close.

- He means "we."
- Pika!

- Uh...

okay then.

- All right!

- Let's set sail.

- Aye aye, captain.

- Full steam ahead.

- I'm liking
the sound of this.

- Right. We just have to find it
before they do.

- James, have I taught you
nothing?

- What? We're not going
to steal it?

- I know, Jess.

We let them
find the treasure,

then we swipe it
along with Pikachu.

- Very good, Meowth.

I can see that you've
been paying attention.

Minimal effort
with maximum profit:

that's the Team Rocket way.

- That's so low-down
and rotten.

I love us!

- Wobbuffet.

- We're getting close.

- So do we just dive in
and swim to the ship?

- Yes, but that'll be
the easy part.

- Huh?

- Are you gonna have trouble
finding it?

- Not really, but I'll need
some extra help.

- Uh...

- Okay, Magikarp.

Let's do it.

- Good luck, you two.

We'll keep an eye
on the boat for you.

- Be careful.
- We will.

Ash, you ready?
- Yeah!

- Pika, Pika!

- You have to wait here,
Pikachu.

- Pika?

- Pikachu.

- Ah! No!

- Pika?

- I'll be right back,
Pikachu.

- All set?
- Yup.

- Let's move.

- Cool.

- Tentacool.

- Horsea.

- Hey, Ash, so how's it looking
down there?

- It's awesome.

- Look at that, Luka.

- It's the ship.
Follow me.

- Right.

- Is something wrong?

- Not sure.
Magikarp, go take a look.

- Magikarp.

- Whoa, a Mantine.

- Did you say Mantine?

- Pika, Pika?

- Mantine, the Kite Pokémon.

Mantine swims about the ocean
majestically

and may fly out of the water
if it builds up enough speed.

- Magikarp.

- You're okay.

- The Mantine seems to be
guarding the sunken ship.

I'm afraid if we get any closer
it's bound to interfere.

- What do we do?

- If you can't
get near the ship,

then how will you recover
the Silver Wing?

- How about this:

we'll have Magikarp
distract the Mantine,

and then we can sneak
inside the ship

and search
for the Silver Wing.

- Smart plan.
- Hey, I know.

Pikachu and I could help
distract the Mantine too.

- Pika!
- Yeah?

- I get it.
Mantine is a Water Pokémon.

- So an Electric Pokémon like
Pikachu has a big advantage.

- Pika.
- That's right.

- It sounds very dangerous.

- Don't worry.

Pikachu's Thunderbolt
can do the job.

- Pikachu.

- Looks like Pikachu's
ready for it.

And we make a great team.
- Pika, Pika!

- Who's that Pokémon?

It's Alakazam.

- Alakazam.

- Pika.

- You're looking good,
Pikachu.

- Pika!
- Don't do anything dangerous.

- Okay.
- Here goes.

- Pika, Pika.

- Yeah, we're rooting for you.

- Pikachu, I know
you'll make us proud.

- Pikachu.

- Pika...

Pika.

- It's great down here,
isn't it, buddy?

- Pika!

- Okay, I'll go this way.

- We'll meet you inside.

- Pikachu.

- Magikarp, follow Ash
and Pikachu.

- All right, Pikachu,
let's move in.

- [groans]

- There it is.

- Okay, now.

- Pika!

- Pikachu.

- Pika...

- Magikarp, Magikarp.

- Huh?

- Oh, no.

- Pikachu, grab on
to Mantine.

- All right, Pikachu.
Thunderbolt.

- Pika...

- Karp, Karp, Karp, Karp.

A Water g*n Attack?

A Remoraid?

- Remoraid.

- Karp, Karp, Karp.

Magikarp.

- What's that Remoraid doing?

- Ash, move away
from the ship.

- All right.

- You were right.
They've stopped chasing us now.

- Yeah. Let's go up
and take a break.

- What's this?
I don't believe it.

They didn't come within
a nautical mile

of that treasure.

- Dose stinking,
good-for-nothing...

- Wobbuffet.

- We didn't mean you.

- I'm impressed.
- Hmm?

- That Mantine
is one tough customer.

- You're right.

Did you see how
it completely

blew those twerps
right out of the water?

- Hold on. It seems we've had
our eyes on the wrong prize.

We don't need Pikachu.

- I got you.

We wanna capture
that Mantine first.

- All right, then.

Now it's out with the "minimum
effort/maximum profit" plan.

And now in with the

"slightly more work than before
but still pretty good" plan.

- Roger.
- Roger.

- Wobbuffet!

- Hey, I told you,

there's only room for three
of us, now shove off.

- Wobbu!

- Mantine and Remoraid?

- We didn't count on them
showing up.

- That's for sure, and now we
have to figure out a way

to get rid of them.

- Or we'll never find
the Silver Wing.

- I know. We can use all
of my Water Pokémon.

They'll be perfect
for this.

- And I'll use
my Water Pokémon.

Totodile.

- Now watch as Misty,
the Water Pokémon trainer,

transforms into
a courageous fighter.

Staryu. Corsola.
Help me out.

- Corsola, Corsola.

- [groans]

- Psy.

- Psyduck, why can't you stay
in your ball?

- Psyduck.

- Huh?

- Hey, what are you doing?

Grab it already.

Don't you know
how to work this thing?

- Team Rocket?

- Great. Now's our chance.

- Huh?

- What's this?

More Remoraid?

- Looks like baby
Remoraid.

- Look at them all.

- So, those other two
are the parents.

That's why they've been
guarding this place.

- I see why the Remoraid
are protecting their family,

but why's the Mantine
protecting them?

- I'm not sure.

- Stop all that relentless
pounding.

I can't open the latch.
- Huh?

- Hey, it must have heard you.

- Well, it's about time.

Now, let's head straight
for the treasure.

- Pika!
- What was that?

- Luka, look.

- A treasure chest.
- We found it, Luka.

- The Silver Wing
has to be inside.

- Huh?
- Magikarp...

- What is that?
- [evil laughter]

- Behold.

- Lights, camera,
and prepare for trouble.

- Like the feature,
we'll 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 blasts off
at the speed of light.

- Surrender now
or prepare to fight.

- Meowth. That's right.

- The end.

- Team Rocket.
- Pikachu!

- Well, look at that.
- The treasure chest.

- [laughs]

We'll take that
off your hands.

- And put it into ours.
- Enough chatting.

- Thank you.

- [laughs]

- And now that's a wrap.

- We've really treasured
our time together.

- Bye-bye.

- Let's go!
- Pika!

- Now for that Mantine.

- Jess, what are your thoughts
on quitting

while we're finally ahead?

- Never.

- Good going, Mantine.

- Oh, yeah?
Take this.

- Finally, an Internet purchase
that actually worked.

- Yeah for us.

- Mantine!
- Pika!

- [groans]

- I see.

The Remoraid
helps the Mantine,

and the Mantine helps protect
their family.

Amazing.

These two Pokémon
seem to exist in symbiosis.

- What?
- Symbi-huh?

- That means they live together
helping each other out.

- Thanks for the biology lesson,
teach,

but now we'd just like
to help ourselves.

- They need help.
Go, Totodile.

- Staryu, Corsola,
help out too.

- Corsola!

- [groaning]

- Corsola!

- At least we have
the treasure.

- Shouldn't we just
slink off now?

- Ready when you are.

- You want to take
the coward's way out?

Okay.

Then I wanna see
some peddling.

- They're getting away.

- Oh, no.
They're moving too fast.

Huh?

What is it, Mantine?

- [groans]

- All right,
let's go then.

- Pika.

- Twerp on a Mantine?

Well, now I've seen it all.

- Think they're still mad
about the treasure chest?

- Forget them and peddle.

- Huh?
- Someone's there.

- We have a visitor?

- I'll get it.
You wait here.

- Pika.

- Pika...

- [whimpering]

- ...chu!

- Team Rocket's
splashing off again!

- The treasure chest.

And the Silver Wing.

- Pikachu!

- [all chatter]

- Thank you,
Mantine and Remoraid.

- We couldn't have done it
without you.

- Yes. Thank you.

- Well...

- What's that?

- It looks like
another box.

- Hopefully it's inside
of that one.

- Is that it?

- The Silver Wing?

- [all gasp]

- Wow!

- Beautiful.

- Your great-grandfather's story
about the shipwreck was true.

- Yes.

And now I can prove it.

It also helps me
with something else important.

I'll study the clues
from this wing

and I'll show that these
mysterious Water Pokémon.

do exist.

- Hey, look!
- An island!

- That's Red Rock Isle.

- That's where the Whirl Cup
Competition's been held.

- Yeah. And here I come.

- Pika, Pikachu.

narrator: Having finally
arrived at Red Rock Isle,

Ash and Misty will now prepare
for the prestigious Whirl Cup.

- No time to question
my moves

I stick to the path
that I choose

Me and my friends
are gonna do it right

To be a master
is my dream

All I've got to do
is believe

- I believe

- I'm on a master quest

- Master quest

- I want the whole world
to see

- I believe

- I'm gonna be
the very best

'Cause all I've got to do
