05x64 - Gotta Catch Ya Later!

[bunniefuu]

male narrator: After
a short visit to Pallet Town,

Ash and Pikachu boarded a ferry
headed to the Hoenn Region

in search of new challenges
and adventure.

- Ready?
- Pika!

- All right!

- Feels great, right, Pikachu?

- Pikapika! Pika!

- Oh, yeah?

[laughter]

[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

- The Hoenn Region.

Won't be long now!

I'll bet you,
as soon as we get there,

we're gonna meet tons
of new Pokémon

and lots of trainers, too,
Pikachu.

- Pikachu!

- The first thing we'll do
is visit Professor Birch

in Littleroot Town like we
promised Harrison we would!

- Pikapika!

- 'Scuse me, Captain?

- Ma!
- Young man?

- Could you tell me
when this ship

will get to Littleroot Town,
please?

- Pika!

- Let's see.

If we're able
to stay on schedule,

we should arrive there
by tomorrow night!

- Great.

Hey, thanks a lot, Captain.

- Pikapika!

- Is this your first visit
to the Hoenn region, son?

- Yeah!

- I would imagine
it must get kind of lonely

traveling all by yourself
like that.

- Machoke!

- Nah, I'm not lonely at all

as long as I got my buddy
Pikachu with me.

Right, Pikachu?

- Pikachu!
- I see.

You and your Pikachu must be
very close friends indeed!

- Mamachoke!

- Like two sitting Psyducks.

- With you-know-who
just ripe for the plucking.

- Yeah, gettin' hold of that
Pikachu should be super easy now

that there's only one twerp
instead of the three of them!

- Wobbuffet!

- But it's not only that.

Today we open
a fresh, new chapter

in "Team Rocket Transgressions"
remember?

- Oh, yeah!

- It's the new and improved us!

- And the first step
to further enhancement

is to put Pikachu permanently in
our possession.

Do you read me?

together:
- !

- Wobbuffet!

- It hasn't been
just you and I since...

since we first started
our journey.

And now here we are,

starting a whole 'nother
journey together.

Well, good night.

[yawns]

- Pika!

- [mumbles]

What is it?

Pikachu?

- Pika!

- Huh?

Pikachu!

Hey!

Pikachu!

[yelps]

- Easy, son.

I'm sorry if I scared you.

Is there something wrong?

- Captain, somebody just broke
into my room,

and they stole my Pikachu!

- You're kidding!
- Ma?

- Did you happen to see
which way they ran?

- No.
I didn't see anything.

- Well, we're gonna find 'em!

- What's that?

- It scans the entire ship

and helps me to find
the potential hiding places

of any stowaways
that might be on board.

Ah!

- The food storage area
on the lower deck!

[all smacking]

- We did it with enough time
for a midnight snack!

- Does anybody have any idea
where this tub might be headed?

- Anywhere will do!

We'll just hop off at some port

and cleverly disappear
into a touristy crowd frenzy.

- Great.
Sounds like a piece of cake.

- Speakin' of cake,

we might as well take all
of this chow while we're at it!

- Wobbuffet!

- Pi!

Pika.

- Poor Pikachu.

You're just wasting your volts
with those Thunderbolts!

- That little glass case
will suck up every single watt

you can dish out!

- So why don't you be
a good little Pokémon

and sit back and enjoy
this peaceful sea cruise?

- There's nothin' peaceful
about it!

together:
Huh?

- Pikapi!

- You've got some nerve,

stealing Ash's Pikachu
away from him.

Who do you think you are?

- Prepare for trouble
on land, air, and sea...

- And make it double;
the trouble's on me...

- 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 rides the waves
at the speed of light!

- sh**t the curl, hanging ten,
and preparing to fight!

- Meowth!
That's right!

- Wobbuffet!

- Who's Team Rocket?
- Ma?

- I should have known it was you
who'd do something like this!

- Yes, you should have.

- Only a nifty organization such
as ours could have pulled off

this kind of feat
with zero mistakes!

- And that zero mistakes part
is our new ting!

- You're wrong about that.

Stealing Pikachu
was a big mistake!

Go, Machoke!

- Ma!

- Arbok, I choose you!

- Come on out, Weezing!

- Arbok!

- Weezing!

- All right,
I choose Bayleef then.

Oh, yeah.

I left Bayleef
at Professor Oak's!

- Arbok, Use Poison Sting!

- Arbok!

- Dodge, Machoke!

- Choke!

- Weezing,
Smokescreen!

- Weezing!

- Machoke!

- Oh, no!
We can't see!

- All right, Weezing!

Tackle it.
Tackle Machoke!

- Weezing!

- [grunts]

Choke!

- Arbok, finish it up with Acid!

- Arbok!

- Machoke, look out!

- Ma!

[all yelp]

- Oh, no!
- The water storage t*nk!

[grunting]

- Ma!

[all yelling]

- Machoke!
Ma!

- Thanks, Machoke!

Now we gotta save the ship!

[alarm wailing]

- Mayday, mayday!

Come in please!

- The water storage t*nk
has ruptured!

Requesting repair!

[yelling]

- Come back here, Team Rocket!

Gimme back Pikachu!

- I'm exhausted!

Doesn't that twerp ever give up?

- Apparently he doesn't,
so let's think of something!

- Any ideas?

- Hey, what about
my brand-new Ropester?

Locked on target.

Go!

- Wow!

That's impressive!

- Thank you.
So shall we?

- Wobba!

all: Whee!

- Oh, yeah?

- Wobba!

- Got you!

Team Rocket,
give me back my Pikachu!

- Wobbuffet,
please be a loyal Pokémon.

You've got to let go
of my leg now.

[yelling]

- This seems so much safer
in the movies!

Can I get a stunt double?

- Someone yell, "Cut!"

[yelling]

- [grunts]

[yelling]

- Wait there, Pikachu!

I'm comin' for you!

[trucks rumbling]

Pikachu!

- Pikapi!
Pikapi!

[laughter]

- I've certainly had
softer landings than this,

but I won't complain!

- Nothin' like the feel
of an -wheeler.

Keep on truckin'!

- I copy that.

Now let's put the pedal
to the metal.

Ha!
- Pikapi!

- Pikachu!

Pikachu!

both: Let them truckers roll!

Huh?

- Wait, Meowth!

Where do you think you're going?

- You bring that truck
over here this instant!

- Wobbuffet!

- I can't!

In case you haven't noticed,

I'm the passenger on this rig!

- [grunts]

- Pikachu!

- What is it?
Tell me.

what happened to you?

- Officer Jenny!

It's Team Rocket again.

They stole my Pikachu
and took off

before I could catch 'em!

- They did what?

- [yelling]

- Pika!

- Oh, man, did that hurt.

Now where am I,
what happened,

and what're you doin'
out of that glass?

- Pikapika!

- Just great.

Here I am completely lost
and all alone!

I don't have 'the foggiest idea
where Jess and James are.

I'm totally unprepared
to deal with life's realities.

This is all of your fault,
you little yellow pesticide,

and I'm holdin' you responsible
for everything, you hear?

- Pikapika?

- Haunter!

- Huh?
- Pika?

- Haunter!

- This don't concern you!

If you got a problem,

then spit it out
and be on your way!

- Pika!

- Haunter!

- Hey, lookout!
Duck!

- You got some nerve usin'
Night Shade att*ck for nothing!

You want to fight?
You got it!

[grunting]

- Haunter, Haunter, Haunter,
Haunter, Haunter!

- Eh?
What gives?

My Fury Swipes
ain't doin' anything!

- Pika!
- Haunt!

- Pikapika!

Pikachu!

- Haunter!

Haunter!

- Pika!

- Haunter!

Haunter.

- Pika!

- I guess we showed 'em
who the boss really is,

didn't we, Pikachu?

- Pika?
- Huh?

- Pidgey!

- Oddish!

- Ratta!

- Pika?
- Gah!

Maybe you should show them too?

- All right,
are you ready to go, Ash?

- You bet I am!

- Pidgeot, look for Team Rocket
from the sky.

Let's go!

- Pidgeot!

- Hey, Ash, the water tanks
should all be repaired

by nightfall.

If you haven't gotten back
to the ship by then,

We'll have to leave without you,
all right?

- Don't worry, Captain!

I'm sure I'll be back by then.

Thanks!
- Let's go, Ash!

- Right!

[all yelling]

- Mm-hmm.
Lemme see now.

So a bunch of these Haunter
moved into the neighborhood,

and they're busy scarin'
everyone, bein' unruly,

and causin' general
chaotic-ness.

That about right?

- Pikapika!

- Rattata! Ratrat! Rattata!

- And now you can't even
go outside

to run around and play anymore?

That's terrible!

- Rattata!

- You know, all of you could
fight back at those bullies!

If they're troublin' you den you
should stand up to them

'cause that's when tough guys
like that back down.

- Pikachu!

- Rattata! Ratrat! Rattata!

- Huh?

I didn't realize
there were so many.

Then you're completely
outnumbered.

I can see how that would make
things a lot more difficult.

- Rattata!

- Well, that's a Horsea
of a different color.

I don't know what to do!

- Pika!

- Oddish! Oddish! Oddish!
Odd!

- What'd you just say?

Did I hear correctly that
Haunter is gonna get his buddies

and come back to get us?

- Pika!

- Who's that Pokémon?

- It's Foretress!

- Foretress!

- That's odd.

There's neither hide nor hair
of that Meowth anywhere!

- Excuse me,
but searching for Pikachu

is the point of this flight
and not Meowth.

Remember we're on
a tight schedule,

and the boss is waiting.

- Aren't you just a teensy bit
worried?

- Oh, please,
soon as that stomach's on empty,

Meowth will be back in no time.

- Well, you have a point!

- Wobbuffet!

- Pidgeot!

- So, Ash, this Pikachu
of yours must mean

a whole lot more to you

than just another one
of your Pokémon, am I right?

- Yeah, Pikachu and I
have been a team

since the very beginning
of my journey

when we left Palette Town
way back.

For this journey, I wanted
to start all over again!

So instead of bringin' all
of my Pokémon,

I decided to come here
only me and Pikachu.

- We've been through
everything together,

and Pikachu is more
than my best friend--

a whole lot more.

So I've just gotta keep lookin'
tlil we're back together again.

- Pidgeot!

- [gasps]

- Pidgeot!

- Looks like Pidgeot's
speedin' up!

- Maybe it's spotted something.

And if it has, then we'd
better speed up ourselves!

- Pika!

- [moans]

- Haunter! Haunter! Haunter!

Haunter!

- What?

You're tellin' us
this is your turf

and that we'd better scram
out of here fast?

- Pikachu!

- Hey, pal,

we just showed up
here by accident.

We're not plannin'
on stayin' or nothin'!

- Pika!
- Huh?

Excuse me there, Pikachu?

What's with the fisticuffs?

- Haunter!

- Pika! Pikachu!

- So you're tellin' Haunter

that this place
don't belong to only them,

that it's for everyone?

- Pika! Pikapika!

- Haunter!

- They don't seem interested

in hearin' about gettin' along.

- Pikachu!

- I'm not so sure you should be
sayin' those things.

It's not gonna do us
one bit of good

by tryin' to fight with 'em!

- Pikapika!
Pikachu!

- Whaddaya talkin' about?

Someone's gotta stand up
for all of these Rattata?

- Pikachu! Pikachu!
Pika!

- Ash would do it
'cause it's the right thing?

Listen, I don't need
to be lectured about some twerp!

- Haunter!

- Ka?
- Huh?

- Haunter!

[yelping]

- Pikachu!

- Haunter!

- [moaning]
- Pika!

- Haunter!

- Haunter!

- This is gonna get a whole lot
worse before it gets better!

- Haunter!
- Haunter!

- Pika! Pika!

- Haunter!
- Haunter!

- Pikachu!

[zapping]

- Haunter!
- Haunter!

- We did it again, Pikachu!

[all cheering]

- Pikachu!

- What, that wasn't enough
for you?

- Rattata! Ratrat! Rattata!

- Really?

You want us to stay here
and live with you guys

forever and ever?

- Rattata! Ratrat! Rattata! Rat!

- And you want Pikachu
to be supreme leader

and take care of all of you?

- Pika!

[all cheering]

- Pika.

- Not a chance!

I happen to know someone else

who needs this Pikachu
a lot more!

- Pika?
Pika!

- Sorry, but Team Rocket
has already laid a claim

to this cuddly yellow prize!

- Pikapika!

- Correctamundo!

- Huh?

- Pika!

- Could it be?

My buddies,
Jessie and James!

- We do stumble into the right
place from time to time!

- Hold it right there!

- Ah!

It's about TIME!

- Don't say I never did
anything for you.

Now pull up Pikachu
and pull out!

- Aye aye!

Activating our super
electromagnet!

[humming]

- Pipika!

[yelling]

- Pika!

[laughter]

- It's working!
- Hope ya like heavy metal!

- When it comes
to sheer unstoppable,

grabbing grunt power,

this amazing electromagnetic
mechanized marvel

is simply unmatched!

- Wobba!

- Pidgeot!

- Huh?

- [shrieks]

all: Not NOW!

[yelling]

- Pikachu!

Pikachu!

- Pikapi!

- Oh, Pikachu!

- Pikapi!
- You okay?

I was worried about you!

- Pikachu!

- Hey, twerp!

Why'd you go and do that?

- Everything was going
just swimmingly

before you came along.

- Wobba!

- Yeah, and just when we thought
we was takin' off,

we came crashin' down.

- It's against the law
to steal another's Pokémon,

and I won't stand for it!

- You know how much I care
what you stand for?

About this much, Officer.

- And that Pikachu goes with us!

- Enough!

Our electromagnetic machine
will do the talking.

[humming]

- Pika!
- I'll save you!

- Don't you worry!

- Pika!

- Ash, look out!

- Now I'm beginning

to enjoy this!

- I think it's time
to really give it the gas!

- Roger!

- Pika!

- I'm not gonna let go!

- Haunt?

- Ash!
Oh, no! Watch out!

- Huh?
- Pika!

Pika!

- Pikachu!

- A bullseye!

both: Yes!
They sh**t, and they score!

- Wobba!

- Pika!

- Pikachu!

Pikachu!

- Pikachu!

- Haunt?
Haunter!

- Rattata!

- All right!

Rattata's using Hyper Fang
att*ck!

- No way!
- No fair!

- That clamp cost a fortune!

- Wobba!

- Rat!

- Pikachu, are you okay?

- I see!

So ya wanna play
a little hard ball do you?

Fine!

- Huh?

- Haunter!

[expl*si*n]

- Looks like Team Rocket's
blasting off again!

- Wobbuffet!

- We did it!

- Oddish!

- Pidgey!

[all cheering]

- Rattata!

Rat?

- Pika!
Pikapika.

- Rat?
- Haunt?

- Rattata, Rattata!
- Haunter, Haunter!

- Well at least something good
has come out of all this.

- Looks like those two
have become fast friends.

- Pi. Pika.

- Too bad.

I guess Ash couldn't make it
back in time.

- Machoke!

- Pidgeot!
- Huh?

- Hey, guys!

- Ash!

- Sorry I'm a little late,
Captain!

You had a big day Pikachu.

You must be exhausted.

You deserve a good rest, buddy.

- Is it my magnetic personality?

- It's not so bad.

- I'm positive
this is a negative.

- We're floating off again.

- Wobbuffet!

- Finally, the Hoenn Region!

Lots of new Pokémon
for me to catch,

and lots of new rivals
for me to battle against!

narrator: Still on his quest
to become a Pokémon Master,

Ash has finally arrived
in the Hoenn Region

where a brand new journey

and many exciting
new adventures await!

- [singing]
I'm on a Master Quest

- Pokémon!

- Pokémon!

- Pelippa!
- Wingull!

- Shar!

- Pedo!

- Whawha!

- Wow!
Awesome!

I can't wait for Pikachu
to wake up

and check out all of these cool
new Pokémon with me too!

Pikachu!

Pikachu, wake up!

You got to see this!

We're in the Hoenn region and--

[zapping]

- [whimpering]

- Pikachu, what's wrong?

Are you okay?

Ow!

You're burning up!

You must have a bad FEVER!

- [moans]

- Pikachu!

Hey, can you hear me, buddy?

Pikachu!

[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

All I've got to do is believe

And I believe

I'm on a Master Quest

'Cause all I've got to do

Is believe in me
