05x52 - Here's Lookin' at You Elekid!

[bunniefuu]

male narrator: With Mount
Silver's majesty in full view,

we find our heroes closing in

on the Johto League
Silver Conference

and Larvitar's birthplace.

Today, Ash and friends
have stopped at a Pokémon Center

right at the base
of the mountain.

- What a pleasure
to see you again, Ash!

- You, too, Professor Elm.

We finally made it to the base
of Mount Silver!

- Pikapika!

- And how is
that Larvitar doing?

- Doin' great, Professor.

Larvitar's right over there!

- Say.

That's quite a crowd
of people at the Center.

- Yeah, mostly trainers
with their Pokémon

going to the Silver Conference,
as well as a few tourists.

- Ah.

- I guess everybody must stop
here to rest

before heading up the mountain.

- Togetoge!

- We needed to get
a little rest too.

Didn't we, Larvitar?

- Lar.

- Astounding!

Larvitar seems to have gained
quite a lot of self-confidence

with you.

So, Ash, as soon
as you climb the mountain,

please make your way over to
the Pokémon Preservation Center

and ask for a fellow
named Mason,

as I've informed him
that you would be arriving soon.

- Okay, Professor.
You got it.

- Good-bye!
- Excuse me.

I'll bet you guys are on your
way to the Silver Conference,

so let's have a battle.

What do you say?

[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

And 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

And I believe

I'm gonna be the very best

'Cause all I've got to do

Is believe in me

- Pokémon

- Hi, there.

My name's Satchel.

- And my name's Ash!

- The Pokémon battle between
Ash and Satchel will now begin!

- All right!

Magby, I choose YOU!

- Magby! Mag!

- What's that Pokémon?

- Pika!

- Magby, the Live Coal Pokémon.

Magby is the pre-evolved form
of Magmar.

Despite its small size,

it is a tough opponent

and produces
an extremely hot flame.

- So it's a Fire type, huh?

All right then.

Cyndaquil, I choose you!

- Cyndaquil!

- Since Ash is battling
a Fire type Pokémon,

wouldn't he be better off
with a Water type like Totodile?

- Toge!

- Pretty cool, Ash,

battling my Fire type
with your Fire type.

I like your style!

- That's right.

This is the kind of stuff
I'm gonna work on

for the Silver Conference!

- Pikachu!

- Begin the battle!

- Magby, Flamethrower!

- Mag!

- Dodge it, Cyndaquil!

- Quil!

- Cyndaquil, Quick attack!

- Quil! Quil! Quil! Quil!

- Magby!

- That's impressive.

- Quil!

- Magby!
- Magby, get up!

- Now Cyndaquil,
use Swift attack!

- Cyndaquil!

- Magby!

- Way to go!

Now use Flamethrower!

- Quil!

- You use Flamethrower, too,
Magby!

- Magby!

- That Magby's powerful!

- Big things come
in small packages,

just like the Pokedex said.

- Cyndaquil,

Just keep on holdin'
that Magby's flames back!

- Pikapika!

- Quil!

- Magby, that's it!

Now make your flames
even hotter!

- Magby!

- Quil!

Quil!

- Cyndaquil, use Tackle!

- Quil!

- Magby, Double Team!

- Magby!

- Quil!
- Magby!

- Quil!
- Magby!

- Huh?
Wait!

- Oh, no!

Magby can use Double Team!

- Lar.

- Cynda! Cyndaquil!

Quil! Quil!

- We can't beat it
by standing here.

Cyndaquil, get in there now!
Let's go!

- Quil! Quil! Quil!

- Magby! Magby! Magby!

Mag!

- Cyndaquil!

- All right now, Magby,
Dynamic Punch!

- Magby!

Magby!

- Quil!

- Pika!
- Huh?

- Lar!
- Ah!

- Cyndaquil!

- Quil.

- Cyndaquil is unable to battle.

Magby wins,
and the victor is Satchel.

- All right, Magby!

- Magby!

- Cyndaquil.

- Cyndaquil!
- Is it gonna be okay, Ash?

- Yeah, Cyndaquil just needs
a long rest, that's all.

- That was a great battle!
- Huh?

- That Cyndaquil of yours
can really turn on the speed.

I can see that you've trained it
very well, Ash.

- Thanks a lot, Satchel.

It's awesome that your Magby
can do Double Team

and Dynamic Punch too.

- Thanks, but we've got
a long way to go.

Next step is to get Magby here
to evolve into a Magmar!

- Oh, but seems to me that
Magby's pretty powerful already,

don't you think, Satchel?

- Yeah, but it's not nearly
strong enough.

All its opponents
in the Silver Conference

will be super strong Pokémon
in their evolved form.

At this point,
Magby would barely even last

for a half of a round.

Don't get me wrong.

Double Team and Dynamic Punch
are great to know and all.

But there's no escaping the fact
that an evolved Pokémon

is just plain
out-and-out stronger!

- I see.

You're trying to get Magby
to evolve into Magmar

before the Conference
by battling a lot now!

- Good luck.
Hope it evolves for you soon.

- Thanks!

I'm sure that battle we just had

is really gonna help it
out a lot!

It was great.
Thanks, Ash.

- Uh, you bet!

I really learned a lot
from our battle, too, Satchel.

Oh, the Silver Conference.

- Quil!

- Cyndaquil, you know,

when it comes to speed
and defensive power,

you really are awesome!

I just hope it's enough
for the Johto League.

- Go, Quilava!
- Huh?

- Use your Flamethrower to knock
this thing out of the sky!

Go!
- Quilava!

Quilava!

- Who's that Pokémon?

- Pika?

- Quilava, the Volcano Pokémon.

Quilava is the evolved form
of Cyndaquil

and capable
of incredible attacks

using the flame on its back.

- Whoa, that's a Quilava,

the evolved form of Cyndaquil.

- Quilava!
Quilava!

- Great stuff, Quilava!
- Quil!

- That's just the way we'll do
it at the Silver Conference!

- Lava!

- "All its opponents
in the Silver Conference

will be super strong Pokémon
in their evolved form."

- I don't think we're ready yet.

We've got a lot a' work to do.

- Is it good, Togepi?

- Togepi!

- I think Larvitar
was pretty hungry as well.

- All right, break's over!

- Lar?
- Huh?

- Ash, what's up?

- Do you mind if we have
our lunch first?

- It's time
for a little special training.

Come along, troops!

- Pikapika!

both: Special training?

- Lar!

- Well, lookee there!

Looks like the a twerp's
givin' his Pokémon

their marchin' orders.

- I've always loved
watching Pokémon on parade!

- Wait,
before you throw confetti,

take a look out yonder.

- Huh?

- Yonder's which way?

- Right over there.

- Ooh, Poké-pasture!

Tons of really strong-lookin'
evolved Pokémon!

- And they're all preparing
to enter the Silver Conference.

Now just imagine if those
lean, mean fighting machines

were to join our team.

That's what I call a plan!

- I know.

Let's have the plan call
for stealing Pikachu too!

- Yeah, they say that failin'
to plan is plannin' to fail!

- Then we'll plan for success!

- Yes!
- Wobbuffet!

- Now listen up, guys.

You'll need a battling buddy
for the first drill, okay?

Noctowl, you practice dodging
Pikachu's Thunderbolt.

Totodile and Cyndaquil,

you two work on strengthening
your attacks.

And Phanpy, you can practice
dodging Bayleef's Razor Leaf!

All right,
let the training begin!

[all cheering]

- Look at them.

They're really gettin' into it,
huh, Brock?

- I guess it must've
just hit Ash

that the Silver Conference
is right around the corner!

- Toge! Togepi!

- Hey, are you all right,
Togepi?

- Uh oh.
Looks like Larvitar's gone.

- It must've wandered off
somewhere.

- Lar.

- Voltorb!
Voltorb!

- Lar?
Voltorb!

Voltorb!
- Lar.

- Voltorb!

- Lar!

- Voltorb!

- Hmm?
Well, I'll be!

- Hey, look at that!

I think it's a Larvitar!

- Lar?

- So you're a Larvitar!

Never seen one in person.

- It must belong to somebody.

- Suppose so.

- Well, I know for a fact
that wild Larvitar

roam all around Mount Silver.

- Wild Larvitar, eh?

Time for me to do a little
catchin'.

- Larvitar!
- Lar?

- Larvitar, are you all right?

- Lar?

[all yelling]

- What's that?

- Pikachu!

- All right.

Noctowl, way to go!

Keep it up!
Great moves!

[all yelling]

- Magby, hang on!

- Wha?
Larvitar!

Larvitar!

[grunts]

Larvitar, are you okay?

- Lar.
- Whoa!

- Ash, no!
Be careful!

- Bay!

- This can't be just a storm,
can it?

[laughter]

Huh?

- Prepare for trouble,
we're here to inform...

- Make it double;
we're the eye of the storm...

- To protect the world
from devastation...

- To unite all peoples
within our nation...

- To denounce the evil
of leaving well enough alone...

- To extend our reach and make
these Pokémon our own...

- Jessie!
- James!

- Team Rocket blasts off
at the speed of light!

- Surrender now,
or prepare to fight fight fight!

- Meowth!
That's right!

- Wobbuffet!

- Now with these pumped-up
Pokémon in our possession,

we can't lose!

- Stop!

- What will I do
without my Scizor?

- Give back my Magby!

- I could but I won't!

- So face it:

your pitiful loss
is our financial gain!

- But of course:
no pain, no gain!

[laughter]

- It won't work!

Go Cyndaquil!
Flamethrower!

- Cyndaquil!

- Time to put out the flame!

[whirring]

[yelling]

- No, Ash!

- Pikapi!

- Lar!
Lar, lar!

- Sadly, we weren't able
to capture Pikachu.

- But with this bucket load
of brawn, who cares?

- Wobbuffet!

- Enough for one day.

It's up, up, and away!

- What a blast!

- Wobbuffet!

- Pikapi!
- Bayleef!

- Let's follow them!
- Right!

- I'm right behind you guys!

- Steady, Meowth!
Steady!

Easy with our precious cargo.

Slowly...

Gently...

More...

More...

and you are in!

- Team Rocket,

untie these ropes now!

- Do you think any
self-respecting criminal

would untie someone
just because they were asked?

- Jessie, we're done unloading.

- Well, now,
that's my cue to leave,

so bye-bye, twerp.

[laughs]

- Somehow I got to get
out of here!

- Who's that Pokémon?

It's Entei!

- [growls]

- Ah, quite a potent little
package, don't you think?

It's certainly
our most lucrative heist so far.

- Preparing an escape truck

to haul away our
heavyweight hunks was genius.

- Right.

Our balloon wouldn't even gotten
off the ground with this load.

- And no one will suspect
a thing

by us usin' this here truck!

- Okay, enough pats on the back.

- Even geniuses like us
still have work to do.

- Lar.

Lar!

- All right, troops.

Let's roll!
both: Right!

all: Huh?

- Lar!

Huh?
What was that?

- Lar!

- Hey, how'd you get here?

- Misty, did you find anything?

- No sign of anybody!

- Yeah, guys,
I didn't see anything either!

- Let's see.

Then they must not of used that
balloon of theirs to escape.

- I sure hope that Noctowl
will spot them.

- Toge!

- This makes no sense at all!

I kicked these tires
right before buying it!

- Do you think
you might have kicked 'em

a little too hard there, Jimmy?

- Spare me the details
of how it happened.

I want it fixed!

- Lar! Lar! Lar!

- Wow, you did it!
I'm free!

Larvitar, you took a big chance
comin' here.

You wanted to save me?

- Lar!

- You could have been hurt!
- Lar.

- Now promise me

that you'll never do something
like this again.

Do you understand me?

- Lar.

- Oh, but I'm really glad

that you'd do this
for me, Larvitar.

Thank you!
- Lar!

- I'm really lucky
to have a great friend like you,

Larvitar!

- Lar!
Lar! Lar!

- [giggles]

- [grunting]

- Come on.

Changing a tire is easy.

That's how I know
you two can do it, so move!

- Gee, thanks.
- For nothin'!

- Ready?
Here's the plan:

Tell Cyndaquil and Magby
to use Flamethrower

to melt a hole in the glass.

- Lar!
Lar!

Lar!

- Magby!
- Cynda!

- Voltorb!
- Scizor!

- Lar! Larvitar!

Lar! Lar!
Lar!

- Cynda!
- Mag!

- Cyndaquil!
- By!

- Oh!

- That does it!

- A manly job,
but we still did it.

- All right,
enough already.

Get in the truck.

- We're coming.
- Yeah, yeah.

- Oh, no!

Larvitar, you've got to hurry!

- Lar.
Lar!

Lar!

[tire hissing]

- All right, troops.

Let's roll!
- Right!

all: Huh?

- Oh, good grief!

This is really getting old.

Could you put a move on, please.

- Perhaps you could lend
a helping hand?

- If not a whole hand,
then maybe just lift a finger?

- Wobbuffet!

- No!
I'm supervising!

- [trills]

- You know, if Team Rocket's not
using their balloon this time,

what do you think they're using?

- Hm.
- [trills]

all: Huh?

- Noctowl!

- It must've found something!

- Let's check it out!

- Lar!
Lar!

- Voltorb!

- Quagsire!
Quag?

- Quil! Quil! Quil!
- Magby!

Magby!
- Scizor!

crash!

- Hm?

- Did you hear something?

- Sounds like it came
from inside the truck.

- Oh, no!

Larvitar, you've got to hide!

- Lar!

Lar!

- Well--
both: Huh?

- Now where did
this hole come from?

- Magby!
- Quil!

- [groans]

- Okay let's move it!

- The twerp's here?

[yells]
Come back!

- Hey, wait!

our plan was supposed
to work this time!

- Team Rocket!

I'm takin' these Pokémon
back with me!

- Lar!

- Well, for your information,

stealing stolen property
is still called theft!

- We have no patience for
thieves stealing from thieves!

- That's right!

- You're the thieves that stole
'em in the first place!

- Wobbuffet!

- I've heard just about enough!

Arbok, let's go!

- Arbok!

- Weezing, you go too!

- Weezing!

- Arbok, give those twerps
your Bite attack!

- Weezing, use Tackle attack!

- [grunts]

- [trills]

[grunting]

[trills]

- [laughs]
Thanks, Noctowl!

- Pikapi!

- Ash!
- We're comin'!

- All right, this is great!

- Magby!

- Arbok,
Poison Sting attack now!

- Weezing, use Sludge attack!

Let's go!

- Arbok!
- Weezing!

- Magby, Flamethrower, go!

- Magby!

[all yelling]

- It's time now
to use our training!

Phanpy, Tackle, now!

- Phan!

[groaning]

- Go, Totodile!
Water g*n now!

- [sputters]

- I don't like
my fur gettin' wet!

[yelling]

- I see.

You wanna play grown-up?

Let's play grown-up!

Arbok, it's time
to give those twerps

a taste of your Headbutt,

so let's go!

- Magby, Dynamic Punch!

- Magby!

Magby!

- Bok!

- What is that Magby doing?

- That's a big attack.

- It decided to play grown-up!

- Magby!

- Magby, that was awesome!

- Magby!

- Huh?
- Whoa!

- Magby!
- Pika!

- Brock, look at that!

- Uh huh!

Magby is starting to evolve!

- Togepi!

- Magmar!

- All right!

My Magby evolved into a Magmar!

- Mag!

- Hey, I don't think I like
the way you're looking at us.

- For that matter,
I'd appreciate it if

you'd turn around
and look the other way!

- Otherwise we'll be forced
to teach you a lesson!

- Wobbuffet!

- Now, Arbok!
Use your take down!

- Weezing, do anything!

- Arbok!
- Weezing!

- Magmar, Flamethrower, now!

- Magmar!

[yelling]

- Mama!
- Not my Arbok!

- Sweet Weezing!

- Well done, Magmar!

- Magmar!

- That was awesome.

- It was way beyond awesome.

- Talk about great power.

- Togepi!

- Pika!
- Lar!

- Cynda!

- That's right, Cyndaquil.

I know you're awesome too!

Finish them off!

- Cyndaquil!

[yelling]

- Looks like...

all: Team Rocket's
blasting off again!

- Wobbuffet!

- Great, Cyndaquil!

- Cynda!

- That was incredible!

Ash, I think
your Cyndaquil's Flame Attack

has gotten even stronger
than before!

- Me too!

But it's gonna get
even stronger,

isn't that right, Cyndaquil?

- Cyndaquil!

- It all worked out, Satchel.

I'm so happy your Magby evolved.

- Thanks a lot!

You guys were a big help!

- Magmar!

- It was really all thanks
to Larvitar.

After all, Larvitar saved all
of those Pokémon back there.

You were great.
Thank you!

- Lar! Tar!

- Oh, what a relief!

- Oh, Scizor,
you're safe and sound!

- My Machoke!
- Machoke!

- [singing]
I'm on a Master Quest

- Pokémon

- I'm on a Master Quest

- Pokémon

- Ash, aren't you headin' to
the Silver Conference stadium?

- No, not yet.

We've gotta make a stop
first before we go.

- Okay, then I guess
I'll just catch up with you

at the stadium.

- Maybe we'll battle
against each other, Satchel.

- I hope so.
Bye!

all: Bye, Satchel!

- It looks like you might have
a new rival, Ash.

- That'll be one tough battle

if you do come up against him
in the competition.

- Nah!

I'll beat anyone
that comes up against me!

- My Pokémon
may not have evolved yet,

but they've got power
and heart.

Now it's up to me to
make sure that gets used

in all the right ways.

- Hm.
You'll be just fine!

- And we'll be there with you!

- Pika! Pikachu!

- Hey, we'd better get going.

- Okay!

- Pikapika!
- Togetoge!

- We're getting' really close
to Mount Silver,

and that's where you were born,
Larvitar!

- Lar!

narrator: So once again,
Ash is given an opportunity

to learn and grow
along with his Pokémon,

and once again he grabs
that opportunity with gusto.

The Silver Conference awaits!

[singing]
- There's no time

To question my moves

I stick to the path

Me and my friends

To be a Master is my dream

I'm on a Master Quest
