07x31 - A Six Pack Attack!

[bunniefuu]

ASH Only three badges to go.

And once I've got all eight I can enter the Hoenn league.

[AGREEMENT]

So, Brock, which Gym is next?

The Fortree Gym in Fortree City.

Great! Then let's be on our way.

Hey, Ash? Forgetting something?

He's right. We talked about stopping to see Professor Birch.

Right. That's what I meant.

NARRATOR After winning his fifth badge

at the Petalburg Gym

Ash is looking forward

to his next battle in Fortree City.

But before heading in that direction

our heroes decide to visit Professor Birch's laboratory.

There it is, guys.

I wonder what the Professor's been up to.

I'm sure I can guess.

Running around the mountain doing fieldwork.

[engine rumbling]

ASH/MAY/BROCK/MAX Huh?

[gasping]

[all screaming]

Hey. Good to see you.

ASH/MAY/BROCK/MAX Professor Birch?

What brings you to my neck of the woods?

MAY We're on our way to Fortree City

but we wanted to stop by and say hi.

Isn't that nice?

So where were you going in such a big rush, Professor?

I told Professor Oak that I'd meet up with him

down at the port.

ASH Professor Oak's here?

But I got caught up in my fieldwork

and I lost track of time.

So I'm now playing my favorite little game of catch up.

I call it Pedal to the Metal.

[laughing]

ASH/MAY/BROCK/MAX [nervous laughter]

Ah. It's my first time meeting him, so I've got to scoot.

Hey, can we go too, Professor?

BIRCH Sure, climb aboard.

How about we meet you guys back at the laboratory?

MAY No problem.

- See you soon. - See you soon.

Wow. I'm actually going to meet Professor Oak.

ASH "A Six Pack Attack."

- Ah. - Huh?

BIRCH Strange to see a Skarmory perched up there like that.

'Skarmory. What's up?'

Hmm.

[screaming]

Look out, Professor.

Ooh.

BIRCH/ASH/BROCK Ah!

[FEARFUL]

That was close.

Oh, well. Sorry about that.

[Birch laughing]

[Oak snoring]

Aw, they're so cute.

Remember them, May? They're for the new Trainers.

Mudkip and Treecko and Torchic.

Of course I remember.

Way back when I first started my journey.

DUSKULL [FRIENDLY]

[screaming]

Call out one of its attacks.

Okay, which is?

Just say, "Use Water g*n now."

Got it.

Use Water g*n.

[WATER g*n MOVE]

Uh.. That supposed to happen?

Back then, when it came to knowing stuff about Pokémon

I didn't know much about anything at all.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.

Then why don't you get over here

and I'll teach you something.

- Come back. - It's just a joke.

Come on. Breathe.

[groaning]

Ooh, my head.

OAK Here's some advice, Max.

Dodrio says when in a daze, look front and back and sideways.

Huh? It's Professor Oak!

Nice to finally meet you, Max and May.

- Hello, sir. - Professor.

Wow. I can't believe it's really you. It is you, right?

Oh, yeah.

MAY What are those?

Pictures of the Professor

I got from "The Pokémon's Friend" magazine.

MAY 'Cool.'

Can I have your autograph?

Well, of course, young man.

Oh, yes.

So, Max? I'm assuming Ash came along with you?

Both Ash and Brock took off with Professor Birch

to pick you up down at the port quite some time ago.

There you go, son.

I waited so long, I figured he forgot.

Professor, tell me what kind of Pokémon you have

down at the Oak Laboratory?

Eh, now, now, slow down, Max.

I do have a couple of things I can show you.

PROFESSOR OAK 'Come on out, everyone.'

[APPEARING]

BULBASAUR/SQUIRTLE/CHARMANDER [AFFIRMATIVE]

'It's Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charmander.'

Birch has pleaded with me for so long to see them

I couldn't refuse.

JOSHUA 'Oh, he is going to be very pleased.'

[Team Rocket laughing]

- We came at the right time. - I'll say.

Six little Pokémon

for new Trainers to cut their teeth on.

I suggest we round up those bouncing babies

and bounce them to the Boss.

For fun or profit?

MEOWTH Profit, you nincompoop.

Imagine the day to day angst the Boss endures

overseeing the army of worthless bums

that work for him.

Present company excluded, of course.

As he searches the horizon looking for meaning in life

he'll turn to see his six new buddies

standing at the ready.

MEOWTH AS BOSS My good friends.

MEOWTH They'll remind him of happier days

frolicking as a young junior Pokémon Trainer.

His life will have new meaning.

There will be a fire in his eyes

burning with a passion for living.

And you know what he's going to say?

MEOWTH AS BOSS Meowth and those other friends who sent me these Pokémon

are just the type of Team Rocket members

I need working for me.

TEAM ROCKET Bravo, applause.

We're clapping because we'll be rich.

[AFFIRMATIVE]

MAX 'So that's what its bulb looks like up close.'

And then the bulb becomes a flower

when it evolves to its final stage. Right, Professor?

Yes, that's right.

You certainly know your Pokémon facts.

And that's because I learned everything I know

from listening to all your lectures, Professor.

[laughing]

Look. It's so soft.

Max. You must be careful, how you touch it.

Huh?

[ANGRY]

[TACKLE MOVE]

[Max groaning]

Max, are you okay?

Ugh. Yeah, I'm okay.

That Bulbasaur's got one mean Tackle attack.

Hah!

Charmander is cozy and warm.

And this Squirtle is just so cute. Aww.

[EMBER ATTACK]

Charmander's Ember attack.

[WATER g*n ATTACK]

Squirtle's Water g*n sure hits the spot.

[laughing]

Well, there's no better way

to learn about Pokémon attacks

than through firsthand experience.

- Is that how you learned? - Mm-hmm, I sure did.

You wear your scars like a badge of honor.

Yes, sir.

You learn something new everyday.

You're right.

Guess that means experience is the best teacher of all.

Huh?

[FRIENDLY]

Oh, does that mean you wanna shake my hand?

[laughing] Oh..

Aren't you just the cutest little thing?

MAY/MAY/OAK/JOSHUA Huh?

MAY A giant Skiploom?

MAX No, it's Team Rocket.

- That's right, we're back. - That's right, we're back.

Back and better then ever.

[FEARFUL]

[gasping]

JOSHUA What do you think you're doing?

MEOWTH 'What we do best. Stealing.'

Joshua, I need you to stay here

and keep an eye on the laboratory, okay?

- Yes, sir. - I'll take care of this.

- Me, too. - Me, too.

Please, just be careful.

ASH 'This is so weird.'

BROCK Yeah, we should've seen him by now.

I'll call the lab.

Perhaps he left a message with Joshua.

Great. Team Rocket's just gotten away with six starter Pokémon.

The reserved ones.

ASH/BROCK [gasping]

Apparently, Professor Oak just went after them

and May and Max, too.

We've gotta hurry and get back there.

I need you to find something

that belongs to either Professor Oak, May, or Max.

Huh, I thought I saw them headed this way.

Well, they're not here anymore.

You can't just hide a gigantic balloon

that's shaped like a Skiploom all that easily.

Huh?

That's a strange waterfall. Let's have a look.

- Okay. - Okay.

Look. Behind the waterfall. I can see a cave.

Yeah. I see lights in there, too.

JOSHUA I found Max's backpack.

That's exactly what we'll need. Thanks.

Thanks, Joshua.

Watch your driving, please.

Quiet. Don't make a sound, okay?

- Okay. - Okay.

- Ah. - There they are!

[SCARED]

OAK We're coming to help you.

[all screaming]

MAX Another trap.

That's it. I've had it.

Come on out, guys.

Whoa.

JESSIE You're a sucker for punishment.

You humans fall for this hole trap every time.

Aren't you supposed to look front and back and sideways?

Hey, I wrote that.

You've found your way to the greatest secret base

the world has ever known.

So while you're falling into holes

we're climbing the corporate ladder of success.

We'll see youse next fall.

[Team Rocket laughing]

ASH/BROCK [screaming]

A good friend of mine lives just up this road.

It shouldn't be too much longer.

You're actually calling this a road?

'All I see is a bunch of ro...cks.'

Okay, if you guys lift me

I'll bet you I could squeeze right through that grate.

Max could stand on my shoulders. I'll stand on Professor Oak's.

Perfect.

But before we get started

may I borrow those pictures you have of me, Max?

- Pictures? - I guess if you need them.

TEAM ROCKET Bottoms up.

- Ahh. - Ahh.

Well, team, here's to cornering the market

on baby Pokémon and finding an underground spring

in the basement of our base to boot.

I'll drink to that.

But shouldn't we focus our light-headed attention

on guarding our guests?

Way ahead of you. You see?

I set up our brand new security system.

Well, isn't that nice.

And who cares that we threw away every last penny

we own to buy it?

But now that we're gonna be rich and famous

we're going to have tons more dough that we can throw away.

TEAM ROCKET Show me the money!

[all groaning]

[Max grunting]

I made it.

Most importantly, you've got

to set the Pokémon free.

But how do I do that?

A fire attack quickly followed

by a water attack should work.

Then Tackle.

Right.

Hey, guys. Don't worry.

I'm going to get you out of there right now.

[EXCITED]

Now everybody move back a little.

TREECKO/TORCHIC/MUDKIP [AFFIRMATIVE]

SQUIRTLE/BULBASAUR/CHARMANDER [AFFIRMATIVE]

Wow, I'm a little bit nervous.

Go, Charmander, Torchic. Ember.

CHARMANDER/TORCHIC [EMBER MOVE]

Mudkip and Squirtle.

You two guys use Water g*n, now.

MUDKIP/SQUIRTLE [WATER g*n MOVE]

Yeah! Treecko, use Pound.

And Bulbasaur use Tackle.

[POUND MOVE]

[TACKLE MOVE]

Oh, wow. That was fun.

TORCHIC/TREECKO/BULBASAUR [HAPPY]

MUDKIP/CHARMANDER/SQUIRTLE [HAPPY]

ASH I don't think a car can go any further than this.

BROCK Are you sure your friend really lives around here?

Yes. Be patient.

[whistling]

POOCHYENA [CURIOUS]

BROCK 'Poochyena.'

[AFFIRMATIVE]

We see each other so often in these mountains

we've become great friends.

ASH Cool.

PIKACHU [AGREEMENT]

Poochyena, we're hoping that you can help us

find the owner of this backpack.

[FOCUSED]

[AFFIRMATIVE]

[EXERTION]

Awesome.

Let's go!

PIKACHU [AGREEMENT]

You called those attacks like a pro.

Well, it was the Pokémon that did all the hard stuff.

Bulbasaur, you were great.

[HAPPY]

And now, I think it's time

we got May's Poké ba*ls back in the right hands.

JESSIE/JAMES [laughing]

Swimming pools.

Movie stars.

All you can eat.

TEAM ROCKET Party time, living it up. Woo-woo!

Okay.

I'm afraid this isn't going to be easy.

Hmm.

- So who's cool? - Look. A Zubat.

Say. Let's have Zubat and Bulbasaur join forces.

- Huh? - Huh?

TEAM ROCKET Dancing and prancing

toward our dream.

It's all enough to make you scre...am.

[SUPERSONIC ATTACK]

What is that?

A supersonic Zubat screech.

JESSIE Oh, my ears.

JAMES Oh, please. Stop the noise.

- Yeah - Wow. Some pretty fancy roping.

[HAPPY]

Isn't Bulbasaur an amazing Pokémon, May?

Yeah.

Quick. Let's all get out of here.

- Okay. - Okay.

Drat. They've sealed the door.

[siren blaring]

- Huh? - Huh?

TEAM ROCKET Huh?

Who tripped the alarm?

Those party-pooping Twerps.

No. They're with Professor Twerpy.

[screaming]

- A fake Oak. - We've been had.

The Poké ba*ls. They're missing.

- But we were here. - Huh?

Now that's going too far. Take this.

- Huh? - Huh?

Now we're just trapped again.

Yes, but this time Ember and Water g*n won't help us.

Huh?

[CURIOUS]

Uh, Dugtrio.

DUGTRIO [EXERTION]

I think we may have found our way out.

[screaming]

MUDKIP/BULBASAUR/TREECKO [EXCITED]

CHARMANDER/SQUIRTLE [EXCITED]

A lake?

Whoa. Look, guys.

[TIRED]

OAK A Gyarados.

MAY I think I'm glad it's asleep.

OAK Yes, Gyarados can get so aggressive and nasty

that people call it the Atrocious Pokémon.

So I suggest we get out quietly.

- Okay. - Okay.

[screaming]

They don't dig holes, we do.

They're copying us.

Do you think they're down there?

Only one way of finding out.

Yeah, whoa, whee. Three points.

MEOWTH/GYARADOS [FEARFUL]/[TIRED]

JESSIE/JAMES [screaming]

Hey. Why'd you push me?

I didn't push you. You pulled me.

JESSIE 'I'll show you pulling..'

Uh, excuse me. I'd zip it if I were you.

- Says who? Ah! - Says who? Ah!

[ANGRY]

TEAM ROCKET Says Gyarados!

[HYDRO PUMP MOVE]

TEAM ROCKET We'll let ourselves out!

Huh?

A Poliwrath.

Professor. Check out all the Zubat.

BIRCH Hmm. Interesting.

Those Poliwrath usually live in the waterfall

while Zubat usually hang out in the cave behind it

which can only mean one thing.

Do you think someone has disrupted

their natural habitats?

Bingo.

Something's going on behind that waterfall.

[panting]

Huh?

MAY Another dead end.

Hey. I think this hole goes all the way outside.

Great. In that case, we should be able to call for help.

Yeah. Hey! Can anybody hear me?

Well, that makes sense.

We should have known it was Team Rocket.

BROCK We've gotta find a way to get inside.

[CURIOUS]

It appears Poochyena has caught Max's scent.

Come on.

MAX Help! Please!

Can anybody hear me out there?

You hear that?

Hello? Is that you, Max?

- It's Ash. - It's Ash.

Yes, I'm in here with Professor Oak and May.

MAY 'And we got all the Pok mon back, too.'

This is Professor Birch. Is everyone alright?

OAK 'Yes, we're fine.'

Of course, we'd be better on the other side of this door.

BIRCH Hmm? Hmm.

That's it. We just need to use the right attack combination.

That's all.

Hey, Ash, I want you to start

by focusing a water attack on the door

and follow it up quickly by using a Thunderbolt, okay?

You got it.

What do you say, Brock?

Yeah.

Mudkip and Lombre.

Come on out and fire Water g*ns at the door. Go!

[APPEARING]

[AFFIRMATIVE]

[WATER g*n MOVE]

Okay, Ash, you're next.

Go, Pikachu. Thunderbolt now.

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

I think that should do nicely.

Okay. That's perfect.

We'll take it from here with a Tackle attack.

ASH/BROCK/BIRCH 'Okay.'

A little pop quiz, Max. Tell me.

'Which of these Pokémon can utilize a Tackle attack?'

Squirtle and Bulbasaur and Mudkip can.

Right, not only that

but a large dose of Treecko's Pound attack

might come in pretty handy as well.

My Skitty can use Tackle attack, too.

- Be my guest. - Skitty. Come on out. Go!

[APPEARING]

[AFFIRMATIVE]

Now, Mudkip and Squirtle, use Tackle.

MUDKIP/SQUIRTLE [AFFIRMATIVE]

Skitty, Bulbasaur. Tackle now.

SKITTY/BULBASAUR [AFFIRMATIVE]

Treecko. Time for Pound.

[POUND MOVE]

BULBASAUR/SKITTY/MUDKIP [TACKLE MOVE]

BULBASAUR/SKITTY/MUDKIP/SQUIRTLE [EXCITED]

MAY/OAK [cheering]

Hey. What was that?

JESSIE 'Prepare for trouble from our secret base'

JAMES 'And make it double it's a pretty cool place.'

JESSIE 'To protect the world from devastation.'

JAMES To unite all peoples within our nation.

JESSIE To denounce the evils of truth and love.

JAMES To extend our reach to the stars above.

- Jessie. - James as well.

Team Rocket flexes their muscles at the speed of light.

Surrender now or prepare to fight, fight, fight.

That's right.

[AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH Team Rocket.

PIKACHU [ANGRY]

We present our mechanized Skiploom

a necessity for all secret bases.

Give us a hand.

[SCARED]/[EXERTION]

Pikachu, use Thunderbolt.

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

Lombre, Mudkip, now. Water g*n.

LOMBRE/MUDKIP [WATER g*n MOVE]

Won't effect us.

That's right.

It's just like water off a Psyduck's back.

You know they say you only get what you pay for.

So we paid extra for more power.

TEAM ROCKET Enjoy the show.

I don't care how strong they think that thing is.

If we can hit them with water, fire and ice attacks

one after another, we'll break through it for sure.

Yeah. Guys, ready?

- Yes. - Yes.

Torchic, Charmander, use Ember.

TORCHIC/CHARMANDER [EMBER MOVE]

Mudkip, Lombre. Use Water g*n, now.

LOMBRE/MUDKIP [WATER g*n MOVE]

Skitty, Blizzard.

[BLIZZARD MOVE]

TEAM ROCKET Are we cold? Are we hot?

Are we freezing? Are we not?

Okay, your turn, Pikachu.

Thunder, go!

[THUNDER MOVE]

So perhaps we partied a little bit too hearty.

This is no time to be making a rhyme.

Especially when we're blasting off again.

[AFFIRMATIVE]

TEAM ROCKET We're poets and don't even know it.

ASH/BROCK/MAY/MAX Smooth sailing.

Swiftly moving, flying high

a Starmie lights their darkening sky.

Wow, if I could make up cool stuff like that

I'd write a book and sign a copy for you.

[all laughing]

Great seeing you guys again.

MAY/MAX/BROCK Yeah, goodbye.

Goodbye. Hope to see you soon.

Keep up the training.

Take care now.

right around the bend.
