05x34 - Same Old Song and Dance

Post by bunniefuu »

male narrator: As our heroes
continue their journey

in search of
the Blackthorn City Gym,

Ash is just in search
of something to eat.

[stomach rumbles]

- Man, I'm so hungry.

- Well, once we make it through
this forest, there's a town--

- A town?
Come on, then, guys. Let's run.

- Ash, if you think I'm running
all the way through this forest,

you're crazy.

- Jiggly?

Puff!

- [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!

- We've gotta hurry
and find a restaurant.

- Togepi.
- Huh?

Togepi.

- That's it.
You've got it.

One, two, one, two, one, two,
one, two. Good.

Bounce, bounce, bounce,
bounce, bounce, bounce.

One, two, one, two. Huh?

- Hey, there. Who are you?

- Togepi, that's not polite.
- Hmm?

- We're sorry to interrupt you.
My Togepi decided to join you.

- Ah! I've fallen in love!

You and I were meant
to be together.

Tell me your name,

most beautiful girl
in the whole world.

- Uh, I'm Brittany.

- A name just as beautiful
as your face.

The girl of my dreams.

Yes! Come with me.

- Sorry, you need
to come with me.

- My darling!

- Aw, they're so cute.

- Yeah. I named them Gigglybiff
and Gigglybuff.

Igglybuff twins.
- Twin Igglybuff, huh?

- Igglybuff,
the Balloon Pokémon.

Igglybuff's resilient body
allows it to bounce endlessly

once it's been put
in motion.

- [chirps]

[giggles]

- Come on, Togepi.
Sorry about that.

- Oh, we don't mind.
Right?

- What were you practicing,
Brittany?

- That's our song and dance
routine.

- You're in showbiz?
- I guess you could say that.

I'm a singer and the host
of my own TV program.

- You're the star of that show
"Brittany"?

- Yeah. It's no big deal.

- Besides, no one watched
until I put the twins on.

Then the show became
a huge hit.

- I can see why.
They're really cute.

- And today
a big crowd's coming

for our first concert
on the show.

- You're doing a concert?

What a coincidence.

I've been looking for someone
to sing a duet with me,

and you could be
that lucky someone.

- Sorry, Brittany, we'll let you
get back to your practice.

- Ah! I'll miss you!

- Aw, look at them.
They're so cute.

- Okay, here we go.

[fanfare music plays]

- Ooh, yeah!

- [cheeping]

- [singing]
It's a perfect sunny day

And a perfect time
to get away, yeah

Let's take our bouncing
beach ba*ls

Down to the beach
and play

We can play and swim

While we sing
and bounce along

- I've spotted a Pikachu.

- You didn't notice
anything else?

Like perhaps a pair
of twin Igglybuff?

- I noticed that.

- They can sing and dance.

And their big, beautiful eyes.

- They remind me of myself,
so adorable and talented.

- Jessie's gone over the edge
of reality again.

- Mm-hmm.
- What?

both: You're right!
They're just like you!

- Those little twins
are gonna hit it big.

- Now that you mention it,

I did see posters
all over town

for a Brittany and
the Loony Balloons concert.

- You're right.
That must be them.

- Capturing twins requires
a plan twice as evil.

[all laugh]

- [singing]
And get away

- Excellent.
- Yeah!

- That was really great.

- Togepi.

- [laughs]

- Thanks so much, you guys.

- You and I would make

such beautiful music together,
Brittany.

- Give the girl a break.

- Jiggly-puff-puff.

- You're really good.

Your concert's gonna
be a smash hit.

- Jigglypuff.
Jiggly, Jiggly, Jiggly.

- Puff. Jiggly.

- No!
- Jigglypuff.

- [squawks]
- I'm sorry.

But no singing, okay?

- Here's some delicious Pokémon
food for you.

How about that?

- Hmm!

Jiggly.

- Oh, that sure was
a close one.

I think we'd better stash
this microphone away

until after the concert's over.

- I've never seen a pair
of Pokémon

as cute as you two
Igglybuff.

- Toge, Toge.

- Jigglypuff.

- You guys are gonna be
superstars someday, Brittany.

- Do you think so?

- Puff!

- Well, guys, it's almost time
for our lunch break.

I'd love it
if you'd all join us.

- Wow, do you mean it?

- Yes, of course.

- That sounds great,
and we're all starving.

- Pika.

both: Iggly!

- Jigglypuff.

[shouting]

both: Iggly?

- Jigglypuff.

both: Iggly.

- Gigglybiff!

Gigglybuff!

[both sobbing]

- What's the matter?

- Huh?

- Oh, you lost your headbands.

Bring them here, Jigglypuff.

What happened?
- Jiggly, Jiggly.

- A strong wind came
and blew their headbands off.

Is that right?
- Jiggly. Jigglypuff.

Jiggly, Jiggly.
Jigglypuff.

- That's sweet of you,
Jigglypuff.

- Jiggly, Jiggly,
Jigglypuff.

- Misty, Brittany said if we
want to go the concert today,

she can get us
some tickets.

- Really? That's awesome.
Let's go.

- You can come with us too,
Jigglypuff.

- Jigglypuff?

people: We love Brittany!
We love Brittany!

- Wow, you two have even cuter
headbands for onstage.

- They look great,
don't they, Pikachu?

- Pika.

- Puff!

- Your costume is gorgeous too,
Brittany.

- Thank you, Misty.

- It's not the costume.

- Igglybuff.

- Jigglypuff!

- Iggly!
- Iggly!

- [humming innocently]

- Huh?
- Huh?

- [singing]
One friend is all you need

But I prefer a pair

'Cause another makes
the good times twice as fun

When you're
looking for some speed

On the double
gets you there

Keep the bad times
on the run

Yeah, two's always better
than one

- Brittany

Brittany and Loony Balloons

Brittany

Brittany and Loony Balloons

- Let's pretend
that a friend of a friend

Is a friend in the end
for all of us

That will make the world
a much smaller place

We'll depend on this trend
of the lend-a-friend

To mend the whole
universe

And put a smile
on everybody's face

One friend is all you need

But I prefer a pair

- Oh, that sure was a close one.

I think we'd better stash
this microphone away

until after the concert's over.

- You guys can leave all
your stuff in my dressing room.

all: Okay.

- Jigglypuff.

Huh? Jiggly.

Jiggly. Jiggly. Jiggly.

Jiggly. Jiggly.
Jiggly. Jiggly.

Jiggly. Jiggly.

Ah!

- [singing]
Na na na na na

Na na na na na

Na na na na na na

Na na na na na
na na na na na

Na na na na na na

Na na na na na
na na na na na

Na na na na na na

[cheers and applause]

- Pika, Pika!

- Where did Jigglypuff
disappear to?

- Huh? Ah!
- Pika.

- Jiggly, Jiggly, Jiggly.
Jigglypuff.

- It's got a microphone.
- Oh, no!

- [singing]
Jiggly--

[crashing]
- Ah!

- Time for the real show
to begin.

Team Rocket: Ta-da!

[singing]
You know us as Team Rocket

And we fight
for what is wrong

We're tired of our motto,
so we thought we'd try a song

- James

- Jessie

both: The speed of light,
prepare to fight

- Meowth, that's right

- [grumbles]

- I'm the handsome one

- I am the gorgeous one

all: We may get
some things wrong

But we keep rolling along

- [laughs]

- Yeah.

- Ha!

both: We want to capture Pikachu

We hope to do it soon

- And when we do

- We'll be the new

all: Stars of this

Cartoon

- Yeah!

[crowd booing]

- Thank you. Thank you.

- Team Rocket.

- You three aren't
on the program, you know.

- But what's really important
is that we showed up.

- We couldn't deprive
our adoring fans. Right?

- Who are you losers anyway?

- Glad you asked.

Folks, prepare for trouble.

- And while you're at it,
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, fight, fight.

- Meowth, that's right.

[booing and shouting]

- Thank you. Thank you.
You're too kind.

We love you too.

- They want you
off the stage.

- Oh, we'll split, all right,

as soon as those
Igglybuff are all ours.

- Victreebel, go!

- [shrieks]
- Ah! No, not me!

- Phanpy, I choose you.

- Phanpy! Phanpy! Phanpy!
Phanpy!

- Razor Leaf, Victreebel.
Go.

- Phanpy! Phanpy! Phanpy!
Phanpy! Phanpy!

- Phanpy, Take Down.

- Phanpy. Phan.

Phanpy!

- Okay, now, Poliwhirl.
Go.

- Whirl.

- It's your turn,
Wobbuffet.

- Wobbuffet.

- Jiggly!

- Jigglypuff's Double Slap.

- Wobbuffet,
counterattack now.

- Wobbuffet!

- Poliwhirl, Water g*n.

- Poliwhirl.

- Counter again.

- Wobbuffet!

- Phanpy, Tackle.

- Phanpy!

- Counter.
- Wobbuffet.

- Phan!

- I choose you, Weezing.

- [groans]

- Smoke Screen.

[all cough]

- Gigglybiff, Gigglybuff!

- No time for autographs.

- Sorry.

all: Huh?

- They took Gigglybiff
and Gigglybuff.

[all gasp]

They're my friends!

What will I do
without them?

- Don't cry, Brittany.

We can get your Igglybuff
back for you.

I'm sure of it.
- Pika, Pika.

- Ladies and gentlemen,

we'll be back with more of
Brittany and the Loony Balloons

after a short intermission.

[booing and shouting]

- Well, what now?

- One of us must have something
we can do.

- Hmm.

- I know who
that someone is.

Brock.

- Me? Are you kidding?

- Please just cover
while we look for the Igglybuff.

- You can do it, Brock.
You know you can.

- No. I absolutely will not.

- Please, Brock, won't you just
do this for me?

- Well, now that you put it
that way,

of course!

- Who's that Pokémon?

It's Yanma.

- [chirps]

- Go find Brittany's
Igglybuff.

Let's go.

- [singing]
So la la la

Look at my smiling face

There are lots of girls,
I'm in my happy place

So la la la,
this is my paradise

So live on

- Olé, yeah, yo, hmm

Oh!

[crowd cheering]

- It worked.

- These twin Igglybuff
are gonna be huge.

- The boss'll flip
when he sees them.

- But first there's something
we have to do.

- That's right.

We have to create a whole line
of Twin Igglybuff games and toys

to go with the D Twin Igglybuff
action-adventure series,

shown on TV
all over the world.

- Wrong. You've got it all
backwards.

- What you mean, Jess?

- I'm the star,
not the twins.

- Huh?
- Huh?

- The show will have to center
around me, of course.

And the twin Igglybuff,

they'll just be my supporting
actors, won't they?

The Goddess
and her Igglybuff.

My beauty and their cute, round
appeal will be our ticket.

[laughs]

And we'll make a Goddess
and Twin Igglybuff video game,

and a cartoon and a toy line
with poseable action figures.

Batteries not included.

I'll star in a feature film,

a non-stop thrill-packed
romance-action-adventure

written just for me.

And the Twin Igglybuff show up
for a minute at the end too.

We'll release our "It's a Very
Iggly Christmas" video

in time for the holidays.

There's no stopping
a concept like this.

It's like a snowball
rolling down a hill,

getting bigger and bigger.

I might end up the most famous
entertainer of all time.

- Do you two have any idea
what this could all mean?

- Something about snowballs?

- This requires
artistic vision.

Let's have a look at our twin
tickets to fame and fortune.

Huh? Uh-oh.

- [singing]
La la la, this is my paradise

So live on

Olé, yeah, yo, hmm

Oh!

- Is this the only song
that he knows?

- [squawks]

- Noctowl, did you find
something?

- Maybe it found
my Igglybuff.

- Let's hurry, guys.
- Right.

- Jigglypuff.

- Team Rocket did this.

- And took my Igglybuff
with them.

- Jigglypuff, can you help us
figure out

which way Team Rocket went?

- Jiggly.

- I'll become such a huge star
that I'll need assistants

and you'll have speak
with my people

just to speak with me, and...

- Huh?

- [chirps]

[all scream]

- [singing weakly]
La la la, this is my paradise

So live on

Olé, yeah, yo, hmm

Uh.

- Enough already!
- Get off the stage!

- How dare you do this
to a superstar like myself?

My fans will never
forgive you.

- Team Rocket.
- Huh?

- Give me back my Gigglybiff
and Gigglybuff, Rocket girl.

- You're not gonna
sh**t down my career

just when it's going sky-high.

Oh, that's a great idea.

I'll get a blimp
with my name on it.

- Then you'll really be
full of hot air.

- Totodile, I choose you.

- Go, Corsola.

- Go, Arbok.

- Your turn, Victreebel.

- Corsola.

- Not me! Get them, I say!

- Totodile,
Scratch attack.

- Totodile.

- Vine Whip, Victreebel.

- [shrieks]

- Arbok, Headbutt.

- Corsola, Tackle.

- Corsola.

- Gigglybiff, Gigglybuff.
Now's your chance.

- Nice try, Balloonies.

- Corsola, tackle Meowth now.

- Corsola.

- Huh? Ah!

- I'm so happy
you're okay.

Now it's time for us
to join this battle.

- What do you mean?
- Just wait and see.

- Gigglybiff, Gigglybuff.

Go!

All right, you two.
Charm attack.

[all shriek]

Hit them both
with Sweet Kiss.

both: Iggly...buff!

- Our fate's been sealed
with a kiss!

- How cool.

- [squeaks]

- Ah!

- Pikachu.
- Pika!

- Thunderbolt attack.

- Pika...chuuuu!

- Totodile, Water g*n.

- Totodile.

- minutes of fame
goes by so quickly.

all: We're blasting off again!

[all laughing]

- Brittany, your audience
is waiting for you.

- Right.

- Olé. Yeah.

Hmm. Oh.

[groans]

[crowd booing]

- Brock, we're back.

- Huh? Brittany!

Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm pleased to announce

that Brittany and the
Loony Balloons are back!

[crowd cheering]

And here they are!
