15x27 - A Restoration Confrontation! Part 1

[bunniefuu]

- 'Tirtouga?' - 'Correct.'


The Prototurtle Pokémon Tirtouga, of course.


'You'll be using either Tirtouga or Carracosta'


'its evolved form, for your next mission.'


But isn't it necessary for us to acquire a cover fossil first?


Hmm, yes.


However, our survey team has reported evidence


that a cover fossil exists in Twist Mountain.


Makes sense.


Twist Mountain is well known in the Unova Region


as a rich source for mining.


So our mission is to go to Twist Mountain


and get a cover fossil, after that--


We meet up again with Dr. ZaGer and deliver the goods.


I expect success.


Dr. ZAGER The space time warp


located below Twist Mountain


has entered its enlargement phase.


Our best chance to succeed will occur


when the warp reaches maximum size.


And if we're successful, Team Rocket's power


will increase by leaps and bounds.

ASH "A Restoration Confrontation!


Part ."


NARRATOR Continuing toward


the Icirrus City Gym


our heroes find themselves making their way


through the darkened caves of Twist Mountain.


That's weird. It feels like we came this way before.


[CONFUSED]


You don't think we're lost, do you?


[CONFUSED]


Perhaps our taste in choosing paths


leaves a little to be desired.


- Well, let's retrace our steps. - Sounds like a good idea to me.


- Wait just a sec. - Huh?


- What's going on? - Shh.


Huh?


[tapping]


ASH Hear that?


[gasps]


FERRIS 'Yes, I found it.'


Wow, what a discovery. Right, Drilbur?


[EXCITED]


I suggest we use Slash and get our treasure out of there.


Alright, let's go.


[SLASH MOVE]


Oh, great. You did it.


Drilbur, thanks so much. Huh?


[EXCITED]/[CURIOUS]


[FRIENDLY]


Yeah, there's somebody. Alright.


Uh, who are you?


My name's Ash. Hi there. [EXCITED]


And my name's Iris. This is my partner Axew.


[FRIENDLY]


I'm Cilan.


We were trying to get to Icirrus City and we got lost.


Huh?


Cilan? Is something wrong?


Incredible. Did you just find this?


This discovery is about as big as it gets.


Yeah? What is it? [CURIOUS]


Look at that shell-like protrusion.


'That's none other than a Pokémon fossil.'


[gasps]


You know your stuff.


This is your lucky day.


You have just witnessed a historic find


in the exciting field of Pokémon archeology.


Pokémon arche, what?


Pokémon archeology studies the ancient world of Pokémon


through fossils and remains.


SIERRA 'That's enough for today..'


...Mr. Amateur Archeologist.


I thought it was you, my workers told me


someone was smashing things up around here.


Look at this, Sierra.


I told you I was going to find this and I finally did.


You should know better, Ferris.


This place is off limits to outsiders.


And who are they? You got helpers now?


We're not his helpers. We just got lost.


We ran into Ferris looking for help.


Whatever, you need to leave.


Come on, I'll show you the way out.


Excuse me, would you mind telling us about that fossil?


I'd be happy to. Why don't you come back to my house?



[SLASH MOVE]


[FOCUSED]


Hey. If it isn't Ferris, the Pokémon Archeologist.


WORKER B How are ya?


Find a fossil today?


- Sure did. - Look at that.


Oh, that looks like a real, honest-to-goodness fossil.


- Wow. - Wow.


They said there weren't any fossils in Twist Mountain


but there's no doubt that's a fossil for sure.


So you were telling us the truth after all.


Guess I owe you an apology.


So what kind of fossil is it?


I'm not sure yet. I'll take my time finding out.


Well, good luck, Ferris.


I wanna hear all about it when you do.


FERRIS 'No doubt about it.


It's a cover fossil.'


- Cover fossil? - Uh-huh.


Of course, all you're able to see right now is its shell.


But that's what it really looked like.


ASH 'Awesome. So that's a Tirtouga.'


It's so cool that Tirtouga once lived in Twist Mountain.


I'm so totally psyched I can hardly stand it.


Anybody who gets totally psyched like that's such a little kid.


Oh no, fossils are exciting.


They're the missing links


between the ancient past and the present.


And for someone like me who loves to solve puzzles


finding this cover fossil is the icing on the puzzle cake.


I'm glad I kept searching and believing.


SIERRA All of us did play a lot


in Twist Mountain back then.


Although we got yelled at for playing


where we weren't supposed to.


True, but thanks to our playing


I got to meet a real-life Tirtouga.


Wait, how did you do that?


Yes, what do you mean?


I only met one of them.


A living Tirtouga.


[gasping]


[panting]


Hold it. Now make a line.


Attention, Twist Mountain Explorers


our first mission is to investigate this tunnel.


Now make sure you do your work carefully


and remember your pendants.


- Right. - Right.


SIERRA 'Okay then, let's go.'


'Ferris, hurry up.'


Okay, I'm coming.


KID A Ferris, I'm going ahead.


[panting]


KID B 'We'll wait for you inside.'


[panting]


FERRIS Hey, where'd everybody go?


'Guys?' [panting]


[gasps]


What's that? Oh, wow.


[gasps]


Whoa, it moved.


Alright then.


[screams]


Huh? Where am I?


Oh, no. How'd I get here?


ARCHEOPS [EAGER]


I've never seen Pokémon like that before.


TIRTOUGA [PAINED]


TIRTOUGA [PANICKED] [gasps]


ARCHEN/TIRTOUGA [EAGER]/[UPSET]


Hey. Stop it now.


You should be ashamed, ganging up on a Pokémon like that.


[SHOCKED]/[ANGRY]


[ATTACK]


Stop it. Stop it.


[screams]


[coughing]


That's awful and disgusting. [SHOCKED]


Huh?


FERRIS Who's that?


[ANGRY]


[SCARED]


[CONCERNED]/[GRATEFUL]


I see, they're friends of yours. What a relief.


[HAPPY]


FERRIS And that's how I met Tirtouga.


[laughs]


[HAPPY]


[laughing]


[sighs]


[chomping]


[ENCOURAGING]


[laughing]


[HAPPY]


FERRIS We forgot all about the time


as we played and laughed together.


Excuse me, you didn't say your name.


Huh? What was I thinking?


You have no idea what I'm asking you.



Huh?


Take this. Here.


It looks good on you.


From now on, you and I are best friends.


[HAPPY]


SIERRA 'Ferris, where are you?'


[SURPRISED]


Sierra, the guys.


I've got to go. Bye.


Hey, don't worry. I'll be back, promise. See you later.


So I ran and I kept on running


through a strange land that never seemed to end.


SIERRA 'Ferris...wake up.'


[groaning]


We were worried about you. It's alright now.


But how.. How did I end up here?


Hmm? Ferris, what's wrong with you?


You got us so worried.


We've been looking for you the whole time.


Uh, you have? Sorry.


- Huh? - What happened to your pendant?


I guess he must have dropped it somewhere.


Uh, yeah, I guess.


FERRIS One thing's for sure,


that was no dream.


After that, I studied to become a Pokémon researcher.


And I've learned a lot.


'My new friend was Tirtouga, the Prototurtle Pokémon.'


'It lived long ago, but now it's extinct.'


So then that's gotta mean


Tirtouga are still living somewhere.


Somehow Ferris stumbled onto a lost ancient world.


That's how he met Tirtouga, no doubt.


Your theory certainly has the aroma of mystery and intrigue


but I find it a bit hard to swallow.


Me too. It doesn't sound like reality to me.


You've been saying the same old thing forever


but as you can see, I found the fossil.


And that tells me it's an undeniable fact


that a Tirtouga did live in this area.


Okay, I think there's a place in Twist Mountain


where time's not normal.


And when I was a kid, I somehow stumbled upon it


by accident when I met Tirtouga.


Huh?


- What is it? - Huh? Uh, nothing.


I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't come


into the mines anymore.


It just creates a lot of confusion for us


while we're working and..


[shatters]


[gasping] [SHOCKED]


ASH/CILAN/IRIS Who's that Pokémon?


ASH/CILAN/IRIS It's Tirtouga.


TIRTOUGA [CURIOUS]


Alright, who stole that fossil?


[ANGRY] It can't be.


- Huh? - 'Who are you people?'


Two people and a Pokémon, pay heed.


We'll answer your question when we feel the need.


Indeed.


Bringing the blinding white light of evil into the future.


Thrusting the hammer of justice


down onto the black darkness of the universe.


And carving our names in the rock of eternity.


The fiery destroyer, Jessie.


And with thunderous emotion, I am James.


Wisest of the wise, Meowth.


JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Now gather under the name


of Team Rocket.


Who's Team Rocket?


They're a nasty bunch of criminals who use the power


of Pokémon for evil and leave an awful taste in my mouth.


I have no idea what you want to do with that fossil


but give it back.


Sorry, not today, Twerp.


Confiscating a cover fossil is key to the success


of our magnificent mission.


And it was easy, thanks to that rank amateur of a scientist.


Your mediocrity overwhelms me.


- You make me so-- - Huh?


[gasps]


Our ride's here, Twerpies, so toodles.


Come back. That's my fossil.


Let's go get them.


[DETERMINED]


[grunting]


- No, Ferris. - Ash and Pikachu, watch out.


AXEW [WORRIED]


[whimpering]


I don't think that was smart


but we've got to go after that helicopter.


- Right. - Right.


[helicopter whirring]


Give the fossil back, Team Rocket. You're through.


[grunting]


Are you alright? What's going on?


Ferris, get back.


Now, Pikachu, Thunderbolt.


[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]



What?


[laughs]


[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]


You can waste electricity


until you blow a fuse


but you still won't break through our energy field.


Everything's right on schedule.


I see we have guests.


DR. ZAGER I believe you caused us quite


- a bit of trouble last we met. - So who are you?


The man who's the brains behind Team Rocket.


- The brilliant Dr. Zager. - Dr. Zager?


- Doctor. - Thank you.


What are you going to do with that fossil?


[laughs]


My fossil restoration machine.


Restoration machine?


I utilized every bit of Team Rocket technology


to create this.


So then that means you're restoring Tirtouga.


Two points. We're restoring Tirtouga into the here and now.


- Huh? - Impressed, eh?


This technology uses electric stones


obtained from Chargestone Cave


and the same system data that restored the Archen


from the Plu fossil.


So you creeps stole the computer system data


from Professor Juniper and Dr. Fennel back then.


You Twerps are slow, but eventually stuff soaks in.


Tell me what possible reason


you have for restoring Tirtouga now.


Alright, I'll explain our mission to you out of respect


for your discovery of the cover fossil in the first place.


'The base of Twist Mountain is the site'


'of a very special phenomenon.'


'A space time warp exists there'


'which has created a pathway to the past.'


- Pathway to the past? - Correct.


Call it the TimeGate if you will.


A portal where the ancient world of the past can be accessed.


Huh.


Of course.


FERRIS That's how I met Tirtouga


through the TimeGate.


But my research shows the space time warp is changing.


The warp is getting larger and the TimeGate is opening wide


'but soon it will shrink and close.'


But we discovered by using the life force of a certain Pokémon


'we're able to stabilize the warp'


'and preserve the TimeGate.'


- Ah! - Tirtouga.


By making use of the life force of either Tirtouga


or its evolved form, Carracosta


'we can maintain the Time Gate at its widest point.'


And then the past will be ours for the taking.


We'll have complete control


over the ancient world and that means..


Unimaginably massive numbers


of yet unknown extinct Pokémon will be at our command.


Allowing Team Rocket to gain new power by carefully studying


their moves and special abilities.


And then we'll rule the Unova Region.


That's not gonna happen. Pikachu, use Thunderbolt.


[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]


You're wasting your time as Twerps will do.


Now watch and learn for a change.


Witness our restoration.


Applying electrical energy. Charging.


[whirring]


[grunts] [gasps]


They're going through with it.


In that case, I've got to see it too.


Huh? Ferris?


I know, Ash. I've got to stop those criminals.


I will not allow them to use my Pokémon fossil for evil.


Right.


Detecting life form readings.


We're on our way and now we watch as the fun begins.


Team Rocket's finest moment in history is finally here.


[whirring]


[gasps]


Behold, the restoration


of the ancient Prototurtle Pokémon, Tirtouga!


[gasping]


Is that..


It is Tirtouga.


[gasps]


[SHOCKED]/[STARTLED]


DR. ZAGER Huh?


[ANGRY]


- Come back. - Out. Woobat.


And Yamask, you too.


[APPEARING]


[SHOCKED]


Team Rocket, you leave Tirtouga alone right now.


[ANGRY] [DETERMINED]/[SCARED]


[ATTACK]


- What's that? - Look out.


That's ancient power.


[ANCIENT POWER MOVE]/[PANICKED]



[expl*si*n]


- Down. - Ah!


[expl*si*n]


What's going on?


That's where Team Rocket's helicopter landed.


We're on our way.


Oh, no. Are you alright, Ash?


- I think so. - Huh?


[gasps]


[DETERMINED] [grunts]


Tirtouga, wait.


PIKACHU [CALLING]


[BRINE MOVE] Brine. Look out.


[PANICKED]


[DETERMINED]


Tirtouga's really frightened.


It's been thrown into an unfamiliar world.


- We've got to help. - Right.


That testy Tirtouga blew our ride to smithereens.


Tirtouga mustn't get away, so catch it.


JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Yes, doctor.


[panting]


Oshawott, bring Tirtouga to shore.


[APPEARING]/[DETERMINED]


[DETERMINED]/[PAINED]


[STRUGGLING]/[EXERTION]


That was great, Oshawott.


[EXCITED]


[PROUD]/[ANGRY]


Sorry, Tirtouga.


Try to understand.


[CONCERNED] We're friends, not enemies.


We only want to help you out.


[ANCIENT POWER MOVE]


NARRATOR Thanks to a dastardly


mission devised by Team Rocket's Dr. Zager


to control the Unova Region


Tirtouga has been restored from an ancient fossil.


Will our heroes be able to convince Tirtouga


of their good intentions and stop Team Rocket's evil plans?
