(Ash) Purrloin, Sweet Or Sneaky?

(narrator) As Ash's fourth Unova Gym Battle challenge

at the Nimbasa City Gym awaits

we join our heroes en route

accompanied by none other than Team Rocket's Meowth!

You know, when the peeps you're traveling around with change

it's like the scenery changes too!

It kind of touches my sentimental heart.

You sure are good with the sweet talk.

Well, I prefer to see the glass half full!

I don't think that's what Cilan meant.

Come on, I consider traveling around with you twerps

to be a privilege and an honor!

- Huh? - Pika-Pika-Pika!

I guess you still don't trust Meowth yet.

- Do you, buddy? - Pikachu!

Hey, I understand why you feel that way

'but why don't you give Meowth the benefit of the doubt'

'and see what happens?'

You lugs are so kind!

After all the junk I've pulled, you still trust me!

How can I ever thank you kind Twerpies?

Say, those seem like the tears of a remorseful

and honest Pokemon!

I think Meowth may have turned over a new leaf!

Axew!

Thanks, you guys, my heart's overflow..

[screams]

But my back hurts. Was that a train?

Huh?

Prr.

Huh!

Oh, oh, no, a Purrloin!

Let's check it out!

(Pokedex) 'Purrloin, the devious Pokemon.'

'Purrloin fools people into letting their guard down'

'so it can steal their possessions.'

'When angered, it uses its claws to fight back.'

- Wow! - Pika!

Hmm, hey, you look weird, Cilan. Is there something wrong?

I once had a run in with a Purrloin and it was just awful!

That sounds horrible! So what happened?

Don't even ask. Living it once is enough!

Excuse me, doll, why were you in such a hurry?

Prr? Prr.

Purr, Purr, Pur.

No! What a nightmare!

Meowth, what is it?

Tell us, we need to understand what Purrloin said, too!

Purrloin's desperately asking for our help!

- Purrloin, loin! - Huh!

You'd better take Purrloin's cuteness with a grain of salt!

Oh, ye of little faith, leave it to good old Meowth!

It's part of a Meowth's code to be of service to sweetie pies!

Purrloin, Purrloin!

- 'Pika-Pika!' - Hm?

It's a flock of Tranquill!

And they don't look very happy!

Huh! What's the big idea?

Talk about an angry gust!

Hey! You could poke somebody's eye out! Ow!

They're mad about something, but who cares?

Oshawott, I choose you!

Oshawott!

Quick, Oshawott, use Water g*n!

[all yelping]

Pikachu, Thunderbolt, let's go!

Pikachu!

What a relief!

I'd sure like to know why those Tranquill were so angry.

Ah, who cares about them?

The main thing is this baby doll's okey-doke.

Purrloin.

You mean it, honey pie?

What can I say? It's all in the line of duty!

[laughs] Now you're making me blush!

Oshawott!



Purr.

Oshawott! Osha, Oshawott!

- Huh? - Pika?

Not you too, Oshawott!

Oshawott, Oshawott.

Stifle it!

I'm going to protect the fair Purrloin.

So you stay out of my way, capiche?

Osha!

- Want to rumble? - Hey, cut it out, you two!

Pika-Pi!

This is going to be a problem, isn't it?

Axew.

Purrloin, Purr, Purr, Purr.

Okay, here's the scoop, the berries Purrloin was about

to eat happened to belong to those Tranquill

and they mistook her for a common thief!

That's a lie, Purrloin never think twice about

stealing all sorts of things and then fibbing about it!

Okay, so did you steal it or not?

- Oshawott! - Ah!

(Ash) 'Argh! Man, that hurt!'

Purr!

Osha, Osha, Oshawott!

Looks like Purrloin's got two advocates.

It's no wonder both of them are really into Purrloin!

'We're talking majorly serious cuteness!'

You too?

(Iris) 'That cute tail..'

Just like a pitchfork!

(Iris) 'And those cute oval-shaped eyes.'

With a look that's up to no good.

I totally understand why Meowth and Oshawott would be

so taken with a cutie like Purrloin!

Cutie's not the word.

Oh stop! I agree with those two!

Well, to each her own, I guess.

But don't tell me I didn't warn you!

Come on, what happened, Cilan?

Please, Ash, it pains me to think about it, no comment!

Now I really want to know!

I've got the solution.

I'll simply catch Purrloin and that'll be that!

- Huh? - Why do you want to catch it?

So I can raise it to be a really sweet and nice Pokemon!

You've really got to trust me on this one, okay?

Well, if you're sure.

Kind of gives a new meaning to bad taste.

Nah, here I go! I'm going to be a Dragon Master.

So I know I can raise you to be good!

It's not going to happen!

Ah!

- Oh, no, Meowth! - Pika!

I'm sorry!

Purrloin?

[panting] That was just a little bit too close

for my uncomfortable comfort, oy vey!

I do wish you'd stop getting in my way!

Deal with it, no one's going to confine my pretty

Purrloin to a puny Poke Ball!

Eh?

My heart needs Purrloin to stay free!

May I have a minute, Purrloin?

Would you, could you go out with me, pretty please?

Oshawott! Oshawott.

Why, you.

'Get your paws off of my Purrloin, you Pokemon poacher!'

- Purr! - Huh?

Purr, Purrloin!

[screaming]

Pika.

They've got it bad and that's not good.

I suddenly feel like rethinking the cute thing.

Purr.

[all gasping]

Purrloin, Purr, Purr, Purr.

- Purrloin's leaving! - Good riddance!

Oh, man, Meowth and Oshawott

aren't going to like this one bit.

(Cilan) 'We'll just tell them exactly what happened!'

(Iris) 'I still feel bad for them.'

Purr.

(James) 'I wonder how Meowth is faring.'

You are? Then you're actually worried about Meowth?

I can't help thinking the things that cross my mind!

It simply occurred to me that we're presently doing

what once used to be what Meowth did.

That was then and this is now, so we move tonight!

Yes, ma'am!

Purr, Purr!

What's up with Purrloin?

(Meowth) You're kiddin'!

What's going on now?

For your information, Purrloin's got a pally who's trapped

inside a deep, dank and dark cave just up ahead!

- That sounds awful! - Hmm.

Purrloin, Purrloin.

You got it, babe, I'll rescue your buddy lickety-split!

Oshawott, osha osha!

You stay out of this, short stuff!



I'm going to go rescue Purrloin's pal!

Oshawott!

- Let's all go and help! - Pika!

- I'm not going! - Why not?

The fact is I can't bring myself to believe Purrloin at all!

I'll just have to wait for you right here.

Cilan, alright, I'm going to believe in Purrloin!

We'll be back soon.

Then it's time for Operation Save Pretty

Purrloin's Trapped Buddy Or Bust!

- Oshawott! - Right, lead the way!

Purr.

- Uh, I'm going, too! - Huh?

Hope it's not a recipe for disaster.

(group) Who's that Pokemon?

(group) It's Purrloin!

Purr, Purr!

Hey, Purrloin, tell us.

How much longer till we reach the cave?

Purr, Purr, Purrloin!

Purrloin said we're almost there and to stay happy and upbeat!

Purrloin, Purr!

Purrloin's also saying your heavy backpack

will probably get in the way

so maybe you should leave it behind.

Now that's one thoughtful cutie babe!

Hey, thanks, but I'll be fine!

Brr.

Ah, this is really starting to remind me of that awful time.

Huh? I sure hope Ash and Iris are alright.

- 'Excuse me?' - Huh?

I'm sorry to bother you, but I need to ask you something.

Okay, what?

'Have you seen this Purrloin?'

- I sure have! - Really? You're certain?

Man, where are we?

Looks like an abandoned mine!

Purrloin, loin, Purrloin!

- Pikachu? - Argh!

Purr.

Purrloin, Purr, Purrloin, Purr.

I hear you, doll!

- Hand me that backpack! - Huh?

Purrloin said it gets really narrow from here on in.

So the best thing I can do is carry

your backpack for you, dig?

Not only is Purrloin the cutest thing on four paws

but really caring, too!

Okay, here you go!

- 'Take care of it!' - Like it was my own!

- We're all ready to roll! - Purrloin, Purr, Purr, Purr.

[all gasping]

(Ash) 'Check it out!'

Purrloin, Purr, Purrloin!

Okay, your buddy's trapped behind that rock

so this is where we help!

Purrloin, Purr, Purr, Purrloin!

Oh, okay, I'll leave the backpack right here!

This scaffolding feels really old!

- And dangerous! - Huh? Where's Purrloin?

Pika?

Purrloin, Purr, Purr!

Bye-bye, see you all later!

What are you talking about, doll face ?

Purrloin, Purr, Purr!

Now that I got your food, I'm done with you chumps.

Osha, Oshawott!

You've been lying to us this whole time, haven't you?

- Pika-Pika! - Purr!

(Meowth) No way! Don't leave us here!

Please! Come back!

[screaming]

Purr?

- Man, that hurts. - Is everybody okay?

- Maybe. - Osha!

- Oh, man, talk about a shock! - Pika!

(Misha) 'Purrloin?'

- There you are! - Ash! Iris!

You okay?

- Cilan! - We're okay!

Purrloin!

It's Misha, remember me?

I've been looking for you for so long!

- But don't you know who I am? - Purrloin, Purrloin!

Purrloin wants to know why it's trainer abandoned it!

- Abandoned? - What's that about?

Please, Purrloin, I never abandoned you and you know it!

Purrloin, Purrloin!

(Misha) Here!

Now you be good and wait for me!

Purrloin, Purr!

Bye-bye! Don't forget, I'll be back soon!

Purrloin! Purrloin, Purr, Purr!

Purr.

Purrloin, Purr!

Purrloin waited for you day after day

and says you don't know how being abandoned feels!

But you've got it all wrong!

It's true I went out to do some errands

but on my way, I got into a horrible accident!



Huh?

By the time I got back home from the hospital, you were gone.

When Misha found me, she said she had heard rumors

there was a Purrloin causing trouble around here

and she's been looking for you ever since!

Purrloin!

Sorry, but Purrloin's not buying a word you say!

You've got to believe me!

Think about it, Misha came all this way

and for no other reason than to look for you, don't you see?

Pika-Pika!

You really should think it over!

Purrloin?

I'm so sorry for leaving you all alone like that.

(Meowth) Oh, no!

The ground's turning into goo!

Hold on, I'll help.

[all screaming]

No good! The more we move around, the more we sink!

- Pika! - Everybody, stay still!

- Oh, no! - What should we do?

Cilan, please do something, quick!

I'm coming!

Guys, grab on to this!

- Meowth, Oshawott, grab it! - We got it!

- Now pull us out of this gunk! - Oshawott!

- Hang on, no matter what! - Cilan, I'll hold on, too!

- Misha, your arm! - And pull!

(Ash) Hang on, everybody!

Just a little more!

[all screaming] Now what do we do?

- Purrloin. - Stay there, Purrloin!

You can't pull us all out by yourself, it's impossible!

Hmm.

Snivy, quick, we need your help!

Snivy!

Okay, Snivy, use Vine Whip and grab onto the rope!

Snivy!

Hang tough, Snivy! You can do it!

Osha, Oshawott.

Don't let go! Show us some of that Snivy strength!

Meowth and Oshawott are going down!

- Oh, Ash! - Pika-Pi!

- Excadrill, let's go! - Pansage, you too!

- Excadrill! - Pansage!

That's it! Work together!

[all grunting]

- Keep it up! - You're doing great!

Ha-ha!

[screaming]

[all gasping]

- A Tranquill flock! - How'd you know?

- Purrloin, Purr, Purr, Purr! - It's Purrloin!

You got the Tranquill flock to come rescue us!

Purrloin!

Thanks, Tranquill! Purrloin, you too!

Pika-Pika!

See? I knew that Purrloin was a pip

of a pretty Pokemon the whole time!

Oshawott!

(Meowth) 'Purrloin may have ticked off

those Tranquill before.'

But thanks to this sweet-talking Pokemon

they still came back and saved our skins!

Purrloin, Purr, Purrloin!

Purrloin! Purrloin!

Thanks, Purrloin, you're so sweet!

Purrloin! Purr, Purr, Purrloin.

Purrloin felt really hurt at the thought of being abandoned

but that was no reason to pull a horrible trick

like leaving us all back there!

Well, I'm sure glad this all got straightened out!

Pikachu.

And I wish nothing but the very best for you two!

Axew!

Thank you all! That means so very much to both of us.

Oh, it was nothing, all in the line of duty!

I only ask one eensy-beensy little favor.

What's that?

Come on, baby, don't say maybe!

Please go out on a date with me

and make me a happy Pokemon!

Oshawott, osha, osha!

Purr?

You see, Purrloin's a guy!

[both gasping]

[chuckles]

There, talk about a menu substitution.

- Nice, Cilan. - Ha-ha-ha!

- Purrloin! - A dude?

(narrator) And so ends a tale of unrequited love

for both Meowth and Oshawott

as our heroes once again set their sights

on Ash's next Gym Battle!

Their search for adventure never ends

as our heroes' journey continues!

- Steady, bring her down. - Clear to land! Clear to land!

Slowly!

- Prep is complete. - And now it gets interesting!
