[instrumental music]

[chuckles]

- 'Hello!' - Uh! What?

We'll take that Light Stone now.

- Thank you! - So.

Hand it over without a fight, please.

- Ah! You're thieves! - We said please and thank you.

[groaning]

We did it! The Light Stone is ours!

Now we just have to bring it to the Boss.

It pays to give the gift that keeps on glowing, right, guys?

[AFFIRMATIVE]

JAMES/JESSIE 'Tally-h*!'

Thatcher, your shift's up!

[gasps] Thatcher! Oh, no! What happened?

[groans] These three robbers just broke in here

and stole the Light Stone!

No! It can't be true!

ASH A Different Kind of Misty

NARRATOR Continuing their journey toward entry into the Hoenn League

our heroes are faced with a foggy mountain trail

as they head toward Mauville City.

I can hardly see the path.

Yeah, this fog is terrible!

[AGREEMENT]

- Better watch your step. - Mm-hmm.

Hey, don't worry about me, Brocko!

Come on, guys!

BROCK/MAX/MAY Huh!

MAY 'You're right, why should we worry?'

BROCK 'This fog is way too dangerous!'

We better wait until it clears up.

Yeah.

- This is weird. - What, Max?

According to the PokéNav

the Mountain Lighthouse should be right around here.

Yeah, but where? I can't see a thing.

JESSIE 'When will this fog finally break?'

Don't ask me. I'm not a weatherman. Huh?

So you know it's gonna take an attack

from some Electric Pokémon

to get this Light Stone to light up.

PIKACHU [EXERTION]

[gasping]

Don't tell me I just heard Pikachu.

Okay, I won't.

MEOWTH Besides, why would the Twerps be out

in this muck anyways?

- Ah! - Team Rocket!

[ANGRY]

Your Twerpy timing is perfect!

Because now we'll whisk away Pikachu!

Pin m*ssile, Cacnea!

[APPEARING]/[PIN m*ssile MOVE]

Pikachu, use Iron Tail now!

[IRON TAIL MOVE]

[screaming]

[ANGRY]

Alright, now Thunderbolt 'em!

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[screaming]

TEAM ROCKET Party poopers!

Good job! Way to go!

[EXCITED]

[gasping]

- 'Look at that rock!' - 'Why is it glowing?'

[CURIOUS]

- It went out. - Hm.

[grunting]

Oh, this is a really weird stone.

- 'Hey! There you are!' - Huh?

So you're the thieves, huh?

- Who, us? - You've got it all wrong.

Spare me all your lies! Magnemite, Thunderbolt!

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[screaming]

That's the way you want it? Pikachu, use Quick Attack!

[QUICK MOVE]

[PAINED]

Huh? Oh, Magnemite.

Thatcher, you got to help me battle 'em!

But, sis, I've never battled before in my life!

Oh! Well, then I'll just take some moral support.

Hm. Go, Plusle! Go, Minun!

[APPEARING]

- What are those Pokémon? - I have no clue.

Plusle, the Cheering Pokémon.

Plusle always supports its teammates

'giving off celebratory sparks when a teammate does well.'

'Minun, the Cheering Pokémon.'

Minun cares more for its teammates than for itself

sending off showers of sparks while cheering them on.

- Cheering Pokémon, huh? - They're just adorable!

Okay, Plusle and Minun, cheer for Alyssa's Magnemite!

[HAPPY]

[CHEERING]

That's their big cheer?

[CURIOUS]

[CHEERING]

Now helping hand!

[HELPING HAND MOVE]

[EXERTION]

- It recovered! - Yes!

Now fight back, Magnemite!

[ATTACK]

- Ah! - Come on, knock it off!

I told you we didn't steal anything!

Look at our innocent faces!

Do we look like criminals to you?

- Yes! - Ah.

Now give us back our Light Stone!

This is yours? Oh, I'm sorry.

You can have it back. Here.

- Well, that was easy enough. - 'Hold it!'

[gasping]

Get your Twerpy paws off of that stone!

- It's ours! - We stole it and want it back!

TEAM ROCKET That rock means promotions and fancy titles!

Team Rocket? Why don't you give it up?

Alyssa, those are the real crooks.

Now I see.

TEAM ROCKET Ah!

We asked you nicely!

- Uh, oh, no! Huh? - Uh..

Pikachu, Thunderbolt, let's go!

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[screaming]

Huh?

[screaming]

- We're.. - Blasting..

Off again!

- There they go! - That's so cool!

Pikachu's Thunderbolt works every time!

BROCK 'You'd think they'd figure that one out eventually!'

Alright! Good job once again, Pikachu.

[EXCITED]

[chuckles]

- Could it be? - Here you go.

Thank you so much!

Sorry. I really misjudged all of you, huh?

Ah, don't worry about that.

It was all just a mistake, that's all.

And if there's anyone who knows

about making mistakes, it's my sister.

[chuckles]

So what's the big deal about that stone, anyway?

ALYSSA 'This Light Stone is the treasure of our village.'

'Without it we wouldn't be able'

'to operate our Mountain Lighthouse.'

MAX 'Ah-ha! So there is a lighthouse around here!'

ALYSSA Yes, the air tends to get very foggy here

so the lighthouse is always there to lend a hand

and keep people from losing their way.

Well, I'm glad you got it back.

Me, too. Let me show you how the stone works.

Plusle and Minun, you're ready?

[AGREEMENT]

[EXERTION]

BROCK/MAX/MAY/ASH Wow!

See? We use Pokémon electricity to light up the stone.

[AMAZED]

I can't thank you all enough

for bringing our precious stone back to the lighthouse.

[chuckles] It was nothing, really!

Of course not, 'cause you didn't do anything.

Right!

Wow, if the lighthouse had been working

then we wouldn't have gotten lost!

You're right.

[sneezing]

Hm, excuse me. I should put my jacket back on.

- Yeah, all nice and dry again. - Hey! I knew it!

- Huh? - That outfit!

Hey, you're the hero! That's the outfit!

- You're the hero, Ash! - What hero?

Hey, Alyssa, he's the legendary hero!

Yeah, maybe.

[CONFUSED]

BROCK 'Legendary hero?'

MAY 'What's he mean by that?'

He's talking about the legend that tells of a great hero

who brought the Light Stone to our village a long time ago.

- It must have been a big deal. - Yeah. Look at this!

THATCHER '"Long ago great calamities came to Misty Village.'

'"Then a blue-robed hero'

"accompanied by a Lightning Pokémon

'"bestowed upon us the Light Stone.'

'"When our village is again endangered'

the hero will return!"

See what I mean? The hero's gotta be you!

Well, that is how the legend goes.

Of course, Ash is dressed in blue just like the hero

and he even has his Pikachu with him.

- Right, hero? - Hm..

You came here 'cause the Light Stone was in danger.

- Didn't you? - Not really.

[CONFUSED]

- Ash is a hero? - Legendary?

Great hero, please allow me to guide you to the village.

Right this way!

I'm afraid I'm going to have to apologize for my brother

since it looks like he's convinced himself

that you're the hero, Ash!

- Ha, it's okay. - Thatcher. What an imagination!

ALYSSA And always one to jump to conclusions.

Well, when it comes to nutty little brothers

I know how you feel.

I wouldn't talk if I were you, sister dear.

So I'm the hero. Sounds good to me!

[AGREEMENT]

Grandpa! I've got the legendary hero here with me!

[gasping]

What? What's this about the legendary hero?

Uh..

I'll go explain to my grandfather.

- The thing is.. - Hm?

[indistinct whispering]

Mm-hmm, we must show our hero

the proper respect, right?

Right! Hero, feel free to enter our home!

Your followers are welcome, too.

MAY/MAX Followers?

- I'm sorry. - No!

I am a follower and I'll follow my heart

right down the road of love that leads me to you!

How nice.

I'd sure like to become like you someday.

Well, what do you mean?

[CURIOUS]

The thing is

I've never really been able to battle before.

'I got my Plusle and Minun from my grandpa'

but I'm only allowed to use their Helping Hand Attack

when it helps other people out.

What I'd really like to do

is be able to battle like you, great hero!

I hear ya. Uh, uh..

Hm. I'll teach you, Thatcher.

Really? You will? Yay!

[EXCITED]

Great! Plusle and Minun, let's find out what we can do!

PLUSLE/MINUN [EXCITED]

First off, I need to tell you

the requirements for becomin' a hero, okay?

Yes, sir!

It's super important for you

to understand your Pokémon

and for you to trust each other. Got it?

Aye, aye, hero. Plusle and Minun, you hear that?

[AGREEMENT]

How to be a hero, rule one!

- Rule one, sir! - Smile!

[HAPPY]

You've got to keep smiling

no matter how tough things are getting.

Now let me try! Big smile!

[HAPPY]

How to be a hero, rule two!

Rule two, sir!

- Be quick on your feet! - Quick on my feet. Got it!

[AGREEMENT]

And now the final rule

which is to build up your strength for battle

and run to build up stamina!

You just watch me!

- Ah! Ah! - Ah! Ah!

Do you think Ash can really pull off all this hero stuff?

- I don't know. - Well, I think it's great.

- Really? Why's that? - I'll tell you why, Brock.

[WORRIED]

Alyssa, what if I'm just not good enough

to raise Plusle and Minun after all? What'll I do then?

Don't worry. You'll do fine.

Wish I felt that way. I just don't know.

Wow, I feel bad for him.

Yes, but just look at him now.

Thanks to Ash, he's so much more confident!

- Uh-oh. - Hm?

The fog's rolling in again.

I'd better get going now to the lighthouse.

But, Alyssa, wait!

Thatcher, I think we should go, too!

Okay.

[EXCITED]

Magnemite, I need electricity.

[AGREEMENT]

[EXERTION]

[panting] Hey, look at that!

Yeah, looks like my sister lit up the lighthouse.

[gasping]

- You hear that? - 'What is it?'

[Jessie and James laughing]

JESSIE 'Prepare for trouble as we swoop down from the fog!'

JAMES 'Making it double is easy as falling off a log!'

JESSIE 'To protect the world from devastation.'

JAMES 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 blasts off at the speed of light.

Surrender now or prepare to fight.

Meowth! That's right!

[AFFIRMATIVE]

Team Rocket!

[ANGRY]

Second time's a charm when stealing a stone.

- Nicely put. - Here it goes!

TEAM ROCKET 'Hey, got a light?'

[gasps]

[EXERTION]

Uh, huh!

[EXERTION]

[Ash and Thatcher groaning]

- Our lighthouse! - Don't worry!

- Come on! - Okay!

JESSIE 'We can do this the easy way or the hard way.'

How about no way? Magnemite, Thunderbolt!

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

It didn't work!

JESSIE 'You're wasting your wattage.'

JAMES 'We've shielded ourselves from all electrical hi-jinx!'

MEOWTH 'Now let's have a show of hands.'

[WORRIED]

TEAM ROCKET 'While we stay at arm's length!'

Magnemite!

- Uh! - Oh, no!

JESSIE 'Looks like we have the stone and a lighter!'

JAMES 'Guess we'll get glowing!'

MEOWTH 'We won hands down!'

Alright, Pikachu, Thunderbolt!

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

- Ugh! - Thatcher.

It looks like Pikachu could use your help.

Uh, okay.

Plusle, Minun, time to cheer for Pikachu now!

[AGREEMENT]

Not that! Cheering won't be enough.

- Time for you to battle! - Huh?

But I, I don't know how.

[SAD]

MEOWTH 'Us again!'

[WORRIED]

- No, Pikachu! - Uh..

[EXERTION]

How many times do I have to tell them?

Well, looks like we won't need Magnemite.

- I don't like it, anyway. - 'Oh, that's harsh.'

[EXERTION]

Magnemite!

MEOWTH 'This has been an enlightening experience!'

TEAM ROCKET 'Time to fly!'

Hey, you get back here!

JESSIE 'Sorry, we can't hear you!'

JAMES 'But you haven't heard the last of us!'

They're getting away!

And this fog is covering their escape!

It'll be impossible to follow 'em.

It's all my fault. Huh.

If I would have just trained harder

we wouldn't have lost Pikachu.

[EXERTION]

And then the Light Stone

wouldn't have gotten stolen either.

Even the hero couldn't help.

I thought the hero could do anything.

[sobbing]

Hm, Thatcher.

- I'm really no hero. - Huh?

But I still say, trust your Pokémon! Hm.

[panting]

Pikachu, listen!

I want you to fire a Thunderbolt at the Light Stone!

But, Ash, Pikachu can't hear you!

- 'Don't be so sure.' - Huh?

You see, we may not know which direction they went

or how far that they've gone

but with the friendship and trust those two have

I'll bet you Pikachu hears him.

Wow! Friendship and trust?

Pikachu, fire your Thunderbolt at the Light Stone!

'Fire your Thunderbolt at the Light Stone!'

[SURPRISED]

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

- 'Look, Pikachu heard me!' - Ah, no way!

- 'Thatcher!' - Hm?

See, that's what I mean.

It's all a matter of putting trust in your Pokémon.

Huh! I see.

'We just need to work on trusting each other more.'

JESSIE 'Now, let's raise our glasses for a toast!'

- While we toast to our raises! - I'll drink to that!

TEAM ROCKET 'Bottoms up!'

[Team Rocket laughing]

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[FRUSTRATED]

Zap all you want, they're never going to find you.

That's right, we're hidden deep in the forest.

And underneath fog thicker then pea soup.

[ANGRY]

The translation?

Pikachu's saying it ain't over until it's over.

ASH 'That's right!'

[gasping]

You didn't think we'd give up, did ya?

[whimpering]

The Twerps!

[EXCITED]

Sorry, but we know this mountain like the back of our hand.

And it sure helped to have our Light Stone guide the way.

Hey, Ash, I'm ready now and I trust my Pokémon.

Alright! Show me!

Plusle, Minun, go get the Light Stone and get Pikachu, too!

[CONFIDENT]

JESSIE 'Oh, please! Plusle and Minun?'

Use Helping Hand!

[HELPING HAND MOVE]

That attack was a minus, not a plus!

Add the two of them together, you get zero!

[EXERTION]

- Hey, look at that! - What's going on with Pikachu?

BROCK 'Pikachu's getting recharged'

'from Plusle and Minun's Helping Hand Attack!'

[EXCITED]

Pikachu's all charged up again!

That's awesome! Now, Pikachu, use Thunder!

[THUNDER MOVE]

TEAM ROCKET Ah! But how?

[WORRIED]

Pikachu!

[HAPPY]

Gotcha!

[Team Rocket screaming]

This thing is supposed to be electricity proof!

Luckily, the guy said I could bring it back

if there was a problem!

Oh, goody.

Okay! Now use Helping Hand on each other, guys!

[HELPING HAND MOVE]

Awesome! They're able to charge each other up!

Wow! That's pretty handy.

Plusle, Minun, use Spark Attacks!

[SPARK MOVE]

- Incoming! - Meowth, what should we do?

Get our money back?

[AFFIRMATIVE]

[SPARK MOVE]

TEAM ROCKET Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!

WOBBUFFET [AFFIRMATIVE]

[CONFIDENT]

- You did it, Thatcher. - You were great!

Thanks, but you know, while all that was going on

I hardly knew what I was doing!

You still did it!

You and your Pokémon were all right in sync!

Yeah. Plusle and Minun really make a great combination, huh?

[AGREEMENT]

Hey, thanks, you guys. Cool!

As for you, we'll just keep workin' at this, okay?

[HAPPY]

THATCHER 'Ash, since my Pokémon and I are gonna'

keep on training and getting stronger

will you battle us someday, please?

Sure! You bet I will!

[EXCITED]

That'll be great, Master. Thanks!

Uh, Master? Isn't that a bit much?

Yeah. Modeling yourself after Ash isn't the best idea.

No way! Ash, I consider you my hero and Master!

[AGREEMENT]

- Huh? - And you, Alyssa.

I declare you the master of my heart!

- Huh? Well-- - Come on!

Maybe try mastering your mouth.

Aw, Alyssa!

[laughing]

Well, guess it's time for us to hit the road.

Yeah. Goodbye!

- Thank you for everything! - We'll see you later!

[HAPPY]
