21x19 - The Evil Nyarth is an Alolan Nyarth!?

[bunniefuu]

-[growling]
-Pika! Pika!

Here you go, guys!

Now, these are what I call snacks!

-Really? You're giving them all of that?
-[gibber happily]

[gasps] Stop! There's a lot,
so you don't have to go crazy!

I bought that much food with the hope
that it would last.

-Hope dashed by hunger.
-Pika!

Okay, dig in, g*ng!

[all munch happily]

[narrator] Doesn't everything taste better
when you're eating with your friends?

On the other hand, it's been said
food can also lead to disagreements.

[Meowth] Oh, man. It's not here!
I can't believe it!

It's not here! I can't find it.

Something wrong, Meowth?

I can't find
the limited-time-only triple berry

and cheesecake rainbow ice cream sundae
I was saving to eat later, which is now!

It might be a case of eat and forget.

-Marean.
-Wobbuffet.

I'm not that spaced out! I've been
wanting to eat that thing since forever!

-Ah! Mm.
-Huh?

You look sick.

You just scoffed my limited-time-only
triple berry and cheesecake rainbow

ice cream sundae!

Yes, so I did. It was scrumpti!

[grunts and yells]

-How could you do that? Give it back!
-Here's the cup. Knock yourself out.

I got that sundae by standing in line long
before the shop even opened,

so I could get that one-per-customer
tummy-tempting treat!

And you... and you... you ate it! [sobs]

Look, bub, you're gonna be sorry!

Wow. What a grouch.

[sobs] My yummy limited-time-only

Triple berry and cheesecake rainbow
ice cream sundae!

[sobs] Huh?

[gibbers in fright]

-Oh, Meowth?
-Wobbu...

-[Meowth gasps for breath]
-[both] Huh?

[gasps and pants] Kick me when I'm up,
kick me when I'm down. Oy vey.

What's your problem?

[gasps] Want to help me out?
Thanks, pally! Ah!

[Jessie] Meowth?

Look! Over there!
Come on, old chum.

Don't hold a grudge!
Jessie knows she was wrong.

I've never heard
of a limited-time rare sundae before.

We can get you a replacement,
easy as pie.

-James will buy.
-Huh? Who, me?

Now, let's go home
and get that mud washed off of you!

Come on, chin up! I'll give you
the pudding I was stashing away.

Mareanie.

-[James] Num, num.
-[Jessie] Num, num. Num-nums.

Wo! Wo! Wo!

[grunts]

Oh, man. No one's here!

-I'm thirsty. Liquid, please!
-Meowth.

Yummy! Just what I wanted!
[slurps and chuckles]

That's so thoughtful of you
to have polished them all up!

Meowth.

I never knew you had an eye
for arrangement. Wow!

It's as if my prized Poké Ball collection
has just gotten an upgrade!

-Thanks so much, old chum!
-Don't be chumps!

-You're Meowth?
-What? Then who is this?

Wobbu! Wobbu!

Nothing but a two-bit fraud!
[growls and grunts]

[growls]

-Meowth. Meowth.
-Huh?

You know, this Meowth has a lot more class
than the Meowth we've been dealing with.

Come again with that!

Look, I'm as polished and refined
as you're gonna find!

Now I understand!

That's Meowth's Alola Form!

-Really? You don't say.
-Meowth, Meow, Meow, Meow.

Hey. Translate that talk!

Yeah? Why should I? Okay.

"Howdy-do.
I'm an Alolan Meowth, so dig it."

I thought it was too well behaved
for the Meowth we know.

And it knew what I wanted, too.

Meow. Meow. Meow. Meow. Meow.

"Of course I knew. I'm the biggest
helpful pain in the neck of all time."

You said it.

Say, maybe it would like to be part
of our merry band!

Meowth. Meowth.
Meowth. Meowth. Meowth.

"I was fortunate enough
to be living off the kindness

of a certain group
of residents at a certain location,

but I wanted to find even more kindness."

Meowth. Meowth.
Meowth. Meowth. Meowth.

"At which point I came across you,
the most wonderful Trainers I've seen!

So, let's be friends
and make my dreams come true."

That's the ticket. Of all the nerve!
There's no room for a smart Meowth

and a dopey Meowth in Team Rocket!

It says right here
that the Alolan Meowth is a Dark type!

[gasps] Doesn't that mean we can use
the Dark-type Z-Crystal

we've been sadly letting go to waste?

-Indeed!
-Wobbu. Wobb.

-Meow. Meow. Meow. Meow!
-Huh?

-Wow! A full-powered pose!
-That means you can use Z-Moves!

-Meow! Meow! Meow!
-[growls]

-Let's see what this baby can do!
-Marean.

Meowth. Meowth. Meowth. Meow.

"So show us your Z-Ring," it said.

-Your Z-Ring? What's a Z-Ring?
-[James] Oh!

-Meow. Meow. Meow.
-It says you're not able to use a Z-Move

until you attach your Z-Crystal
to a Z-Ring.

-No.
-It's all making sense to me now.

When we tried using it before,
we were using a homemade ring.

Wobbu! Wobbu!

That was then.
We'll get a Z-Ring soon enough.

First off,
we need to be catching you, right?

Put a sock in it!
Do you really want this bozo to join us?

Figure it out. Because someone here
can't use Dark-type Z-Moves!

[screams] You get ahold of a Z-Ring

and I'll come up with Z-Moves
no one's heard of!

You'll see what a phony baloney
this dope is. [grunts]

-My tail!
-What do you think you're doing?

It gave me a tail cramp!

All right, catching time!

-Meowth. Meowth. Meowth.
-All right, what's it saying now?

Meowth. Meow. Meow. Meow.

That smug smarty-pants
doesn't want to be jumping

into anything it might come
to regret at a point in the future.

So, it needs a little time
to think it over. What a dork!

Well, as long as it promises
it'll say yes, I'm good.

Meowth. Meowth.

All you know how to do is lie!

Oh, no!
Meowth, what do you think you're doing?

I like heat?

[bleeping]

-[gasps]
-Uh-oh. The Boss!

Meow?

Excuse me. You didn't forget to make
your scheduled report, did you?

-Of course not!
-We were just about to establish contact!

-You seem to have an unusual Meowth.
-Yes!

Yes, sir! This is an Alola Form Meowth!

Oh. So, that's what they look like
in the Alola region.

Right! And we're researching
what powers this Meowth possesses!

When you've acquired your data,
report back and don't forget.

-Understood!
-Right away!

[Meowth] I don't like this dummy
and I don't like that dummy either.

I'm looking forward to great things
from you.

[Jessie and James] Sir!

The Boss is looking forward
to great things!

From us! And he seems quite impressed
with you, too!

-Meowth.
-Oy!

You'll need to pull
your weight around here, understand?

Then we give the Boss what he wants
and he gives us what we want!

Right! That works!

-Mareanie.
-Meowth. Meowth.

That dope's up to no good, no doubt!

[gasps]

Ah. A special,
limited-time-only triple berry

and cheesecake rainbow ice cream sundae.

Nothing better!
I've reached the mountaintop!

My life is now complete.

Happiness! [gasps]

-Wobbuffet!
-[gibbers]

Where's that dumb dope? Huh? Huh?

That's the problem! When we try
to swipe that pesky Pikachu,

a Twerp always gets in the way!

-Operation Pilfer Pikachu is a must!
-Meowth.

I know we can count on you!

-Keep your nose out of our business!
-No. You be quiet.

We've got an amazing mission planned here!

[screams]

[slurps]

How could they say things like that?

Innkeep! Keep that Pinap Juice flowing!

Oranguru.

I love Pinap Juice.
And I'm thirsty, so fill her up!

[sobs] Oh, man. Here I've gone through
good and bad times with those lugs,

but they get all worked up
over that dopey dum-dum!

Gu. Guru.

You get it? It's just too cruel for words!

This stinks! [sobs]

And it's all because I can't use
a stupid Dark-type Z-Move.

-[sobs]
-Oranguru.

[Meowth sobs hysterically]

Oranguru?

Of course. All I got to do
is show them relying

on that dumb dope
makes them dumb dopes!

[Team Rocket] Who's that Pokémon?

[Team Rocket] It's Meowth!

[Meowth] Meowth. Meowth. Meowth.
Meowth. Meowth!

Meow. Meow.

Hey! We need to talk! I'll be waiting
for you at the Pokémon School gate

in exactly one hour.

-Be there or be square!
-Meow.

-You don't want to be square.
-Hm.

Pika! Pika!

Lycanroc! Use Bite!

-Turtonator! Use Flamethrower!
-Nator!

-Now, Marowak, use Iron Head!
-Marowak.

-Litten, Fire Fang!
-[grunting]

-Litten!
-Maro!

-[grunts] Maro! Maro! Maro!
-Turto.

-Litten, that was great!
-[gibbers]

Time for a friendship photo!

-Litten, what a nice assist!
-And such lovely teamwork!

Toge.

I wonder how those other two are doing.

-Only good friends fight like that.
-Popplio.

-Pika! Pika. Pikachu!
-[hoots]

Yeah! Let's keep on going!

Lycanroc! Litten!

Pika!

-What's wrong with Pikachu?
-[all gasps]

I just caught me a Rowlet and you didn't!

-Not you.
-Pika!

-Busted by a Twerp! [laughs]
-Pika!

-This is bad!
-Give Rowlet back!

-Let's go with them!
-Marowak.

-He-he-he-he-he-heh!
-[Ash] Come back!

Sorry for the holdup.

There! Knock yourself out!

-Stop it!
-Pika!

Meowth! You give Rowlet back!
Huh? Meowth?

-[Lillie] Ash, that's not the same Meowth!
-[Lana] It's an Alola Form Meowth.

Meowth, Alola Form.
The Scratch Cat Pokémon. A Dark type.

Meowth are not native to Alola,
but people brought them here.

Eventually, their appearance changed
to what we now see.

They are prideful and cunning.

Now, don't tell me
you're one of Team Rocket, too, Meowth.

I'll let the Twerps wrap
this baby up once and for all.

-Meow. Meow.
-Pika?

[Mallow] What?

-[Ash] Hey, wait!
-Meow. Meow.

-I think it wants to battle you for it.
-Yeah? No problem.

-Pikachu, use Quick att*ck!
-Pika.

Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi! Pi! Pika!

-Pikachu, no!
-It was a distraction!

Meow.

-[growls]
-Is that a Thunderbolt?

-Here it comes!
-Look out!

[Mallow] If it hits you, you'll go numb!

-Ah!
-[Rotom] Out of the way!

All right, Togedemaru!

Maru!

Yes! Great job Togedemaru.

-Is everybody all right?
-[Kiawe] Yeah, we're fine!

Meow.

[all scream]

[all groan]

-What was that all about?
-[Sophocles] You're heavy.

-Pika!
-Huh?

-Hey, buddy!
-Pikachu.

-I'll be right there!
-Pika!

Pika! Pika! Pika? Pi?

-[Jessie laughs]
-Eh?

Pikachu!

-That went well, didn't it?
-Pikachu's finally ours!

Wobbuffet!

I should've known it was you,
Team Rocket!

Not quite. Because we're not
the Team Rocket of days gone by!

What does that mean?

This was a clever trap culled by none
other than the Alola Form Meowth.

You played your part as bait perfectly.

Huh? I can't believe that dope used me
as the dummy!

-All right, homeward bound!
-[Ash] Stop!

-Pika!
-[hoots]

I've got to go after them, quick!

I've got an idea! Turtonator, come on out!

Turto!

-Now what did you do that for?
-I'm squished!

-I can't breathe!
-Hang tough!

You can climb up on Turtonator's shell!
Be careful of the spikes!

I get it! I'll do it! All right!

-But, Ash, be careful!
-Hey, I've got this!

[all gasp]

[all scream]

-Turto!
-Just as I thought.

So what happened?

-Of all the crazy...
-[coughs]

But at least we're out of that big hole.

We've got to go after
Team Rocket right now!

-Yeah, but where'd they go?
-I don't know.

-[all chat]
-What do we do?

Split up and search for them!

-[hoots]
-Rowlet?

-[hoots]
-They went that way?

-What are we waiting for?
-Let's go!

I never dreamed that things
would go so smoothly.

-You know, you're not so bad.
-Meow, Meow.

Now we can catch piles of Pokémon
and gift them all to our beloved Boss!

Pikachu!

That was pretty clever,
using me the way that dope did.

Dopey, but clever!

Meow.

Huh? You want to know
if that's all we've got?

-[hoots]
-Lycanroc.

-There you are!
-Twerps, aren't we prompt!

-Give Pikachu back!
-Prompt, but still annoying.

-Now, Mimikyu!
-Mareanie!

-Mareanie!
-[groans]

[gibbers]

I'll take this. Mimikyu! Sic them!
No! Them, not it!

[all grunt]

-Pika!
-[both groan]

-Pikachu!
-Pikachu!

A successful rescue!

Why don't you think these things through?
[grunts]

[grunts] Mareanie, use Sludge b*mb!

-Mareanie-nie-nie-nie.
-Rock Throw now!

[howls]

-You two sad sacks get in there and fight!
-[gasps]

I'll take care of this by myself,
then I'll show Jessie and James

that I'm the only Meowth
they're ever gonna need!

-I think it's time for a Z-Move. Okay?
-Pika.

All right!

Perhaps it would be good for
our Alolan Meowth to step up to the plate.

I think it stepped up and left!

-Wobbu! Wobb.
-Are you serious?

What did I tell you? That jerk
would steal the shirt off your back.

[grunts]

Okay. Pikachu!

Pikachu! [grunts]

Here we go with full power now!

Use Gigavolt Havoc!

-Pika!
-[all screaming]

[all yelling]

-What was that?
-What's this?

[groaning]

[James and Jessie]
We're off with a new blast!

You did it, Pikachu!

Pikachu!

Thank goodness you're all safe!

[James]
Not a sign of that Alolan Meowth.

You'd think after several days,
we would've seen something.

[grunts] This is perfect.

Now how are we supposed
to impress the Boss?

Just forget that dope ever existed.

You're in good paws with this Meowth!

[bleeping]

[both] Oh no! The Boss!

-You did well. I'm very pleased.
-[all] Huh?

[all] Huh!

[Matori] We are now receiving the able
assistance of this Alolan Meowth.

Its cunning has been quite helpful to us.

Able assistance?

We trust you'll be able to catch
even more excellent Pokémon

to send to headquarters.

[Giovanni] Keep doing great things.

Meow.

-Do great things? What did we do?
-Wo?

[all gasp]

Now, you tell us
what just happened or else!

Meow. Meow. Meow.

That dope's saying
it really should thank us

for tipping it off to a place
to do some serious business.

[Jessie] Huh.

Meow. Meow. Meow. Meow.

And the perfect place
for that is the Boss's lap?

Hey, that's not fair! I call foul!

-That lap's got my name on it!
-Meow.

We were but mere stepping-stones
up the ladder of success!

[grunts angrily]

So that bob-cut, glasses-wearing goon gal
is better than me?

She should've listened to me.
Yeah, would've, should've, could've.

I'll sue! I'm not going to take this.
No way!

[narrator] Although that cunning Alolan
Meowth outsmarted our favorite villains,

our favorite Meowth is probably
breathing a big sigh of relief,

as the journey continues!
