23x17 - Kicking It From Here Into Tomorrow!

[bunniefuu]

[narrator] Ash's goal is to battle one of the world's greatest trainers, Leon.

Goh's goal is to catch one of every kind of Pokémon, including Mew!

This is the story of their adventure-filled journey

through the world of Pokémon!

-Pikachu! -Scorbun!

[Ash] Do it, Pikachu!

[Goh] Scorbunny, go!

[narrator] It sounds like some familiar voices are ringing out with gusto!

[both] All right, use Quick Attack!

Pika, pika!

Pretty good, Goh!

Pikachu!

-Scor! -[Goh] Scorbunny?

-Scorbun! -[chuckles]

[laughing]

Darmanitan...

[Scorbunny] Scorbunny, scor.

-Darma... -Scorbun!

[giggles]

Darma, darma, darma...

What's Darmanitan doing right now?

It's working up to something!

[Darmanitan screams]

Darman-nitan?

Is it telling Scorbunny to use a Fire-type move?

Darmana...

Scor... [groaning]

[sighs]

Scor... scor... scor...

[grunts, yells]

-Huh? -Pika?

[laughs]

[Darmanitan] Darmani...

manitan! [laughing continues]

[Ash] "Kicking It From Here..."

[Goh] "Into Tomorrow!"

-[panting] -[Pikachu] Pika!

-[Scorbunny] Scor! -Hey there, Goh and Ash!

[Chloe] Neither of you has eaten breakfast!

Mr. Mime has been worried about you!

[Ash giggling]

-Whoa... -[Chloe] What are you two doing?

Well, we kind of have a problem.

[grunting]

-[panting] -[giggles]

[snorts] Darmanitan.

Ew. What's with the smug look on that Darmanitan's face?

Darmanitan challenged Scorbunny,

so it's trying to use the move Ember and...

it's not having that much luck.

-You can do it, Scorbunny! -Scor!

Pika. Pikachu!

You've gotta be like... [roars]

...and get the heat inside you out with a "Ba-bam! Bam, bam!"

[Ash] Yeah, that's it!

-What is he talking about? -[chuckles]

I think Ash is just trying to help Scorbunny the way he knows how.

-But still... -[grunting]

Maybe Scorbunny just needs to call it quits.

[gasping]

-[Goh] Why don't we hang it up for now? -Huh?

-You gave it your best shot. -Dar... [giggles]

[singing]

-[Scorbunny groans, yells] -Stop, Scorbunny!

-Eh? -You can use both Quick Attack

and Double Kick. Remember?

It's no big deal if you don't know a Fire-type move.

[groaning]

I don't think Scorbunny feels the same way.

Whether it agrees or not, if you can't do something, give it up, right?

[ranting] Scorbunny!

-Hey... -Huh?

[laughing] Darmanitan!

Scor... Scor!

-Uh... -Hmm.

[Ash, Goh] Time to dig in!

[both munching]

[Ash] I hear you're going into town today

to catch some more Pokémon.

[Goh] Mm-hmm!

Is catching Pokémon that much fun?

It's more fun than you think!

You should come along!

No, thanks.

[Ash] Let's all go!

[gasps]

[Chloe] I'm not interested, okay?

[Ash] But it's so fun.

-Hmm? -[Goh] Scorbunny?

[Scorbunny grunting]

[yelling]

[screams]

[whines]

Scorbun!

[Ash] Hey, the minute Scorbunny gets hungry, it'll be back.

-[Goh sighs] You're right. -[Scorbunny screaming]

-Scorbunny! -Told ya!

Scorbunny, bunnyscor!

That's great! Come on!

-Let's catch some Pokémon! -[inhales deeply]

-[Ash] I wonder what Pokémon we'll find! -[Goh] Yeah! [chuckles]

-[Pikachu] Pikachu! -Huh?

Nybun...?

Scor... Scorbunny, scor!

Hmm?

-Hmm... -[Scorbunny inhales]

-Bun? -[pants]

-Huh? -Pika...

-Hmm... -Pikachu.

[Scorbunny inhales deeply]

-[sighs] -[sniffs] Pika.

[Goh sighs] Not a single Pokémon around.

I thought at least I'd find something like a Pidgey right away.

Bunny... Huh?

[gasps]

Huh? What is it, Scorbunny?

Just hold on. I'm busy right now

checking if there are Pokémon in the area.

[groans]

-Scorbun! -Hmm?

Uh... Hmm?

-[Scorbunny inhales deeply] -A Pelipper?

Bun!

[squawking]

[Goh gasps]

-What'd you do that for? -[groaning]

-I'm going after it! -Huh?

[groans] Scor!

[Goh] I never thought I'd see a wild Pelipper!

-I've gotta catch it! -Sco... Scorbun!

[ominous music]

Hmm.

[whirrs]

[whirring continues]

[tense music]

Hmm!

[Jessie, Meowth] Hmm.

So, were you able to find them?

[James] No worries.

[James] Potato chips sold only in Vermilion City.

With real sea salt!

Yummy! Real sea salt!

Wobbuffet!

Watch out, tummy, here it comes.

-[Jessie, James, Meowth] Look out below! -Wobba! Wobba!

[James] I think I'm going to pop.

[Meowth] Tummy, don't fail me now.

The heartbreak of heartburn.

[Wobbuffet] Wobba. Wobba, wobba.

-You know, that's a good idea! -[Jessie, James] What's good?

It wants to play "The Evil Things Name Game."

Great! I'm not that full.

It's perfect post-potato chips!

This is how you play. Dig? The object of this delightful game

is to only come up with words or phrases that are evil,

and if you come up with something good, you lose.

This is Team Rocket-approved training, since evil is what we do!

[James] Got it! I'll start.

A pit trap.

A shock-proof net.

Wobbuffet!

Catching the Twerp's Pikachu.

Catching them all!

Stealing from every Twerp, ever!

Wobbuffet!

Taking candy from a Twerp!

Not eating it.

Let me see...

Wait. Time out!

Is Wobbuffet legit? We can't understand it.

You can! Spill the beans!

I don't think there's any reason for doubt.

This is our Wobbuffet!

Wobbuffet's cool.

Wobbuffet!

Really? I'll accept that.

Uh, now, where was I?

Let me see...

Fair play!

No, time out! I want a do-over!

Sorry.

What you said is good, and you know it!

Jess is a loser!

-[ranting] -"Fair play?" I wouldn't call that evil.

If you don't have proof, then it simply didn't happen.

I said "bad hair day."

Now, what does that mean?

Everything! Look at me!

There's no such thing as a good hair day or a bad hair day!

There's just hair!

You fool! Hair rules the world!

Of course, it's clearly impossible for me to have a bad hair day.

You're giving me one!

-Wobbuffet! -[Jessie groans]

[Jessie] Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

-[Jessie] You're jealous! -[James] Child!

-Wobbuffet! -[Meowth] Sore loser!

[Goh panting]

It got away!

I've got no Pokémon-catching luck at all today.

Ny...?

Hmm?

What could that be?

Scorbun!

Hmm?

-Hmm? -Nyscorbun.

[both gasping]

-[Goh screams, thuds] -[Jessie] Ugh!

[James] How strange. What's going on?

-[all gasp] -What's the hubbub?

[James] Quit forcing my hand!

I'm being pushed from behind, so move it up ahead!

Wobbuffet!

[all groaning]

[Jessie screams]

[Jessie] And you're the Twerp's tagalong, Twerp .!

[Meowth] What's he doing in our base booth?

Wobbuffet!

[all screaming]

[all panting]

[Goh] What were you doing in that weird glass box?

[Jessie] It isn't a weird glass box! It's a phone booth!

Phone booth? What is that?

Hold the phone. You mean to say

this kid doesn't know what a phone booth is?

We're not that old, are we?

I knew using this booth as a secret base entrance

would stand out like a sore thumb!

Ugh. You're saying there's a secret base under here?

[James] I said nothing of the sort!

[Jessie] I already tried that while we were playing the game.

-Teach him a lesson. -Right!

Gotcha!

[Jessie, James] Come on down!

Hold on.

Where could it be?

[Pelipper mutters]

[Jessie, James] How did you do that?

Hey! I just saw you!

There's only one way our secret base was discovered.

-Hmm! -Hmm!

Hmm!

-[Team Rocket] Pelipper blew it! -[squawks]

Come back! You're guilty!

[all] Hmm?

[Team Rocket wails]

-[Ash] Goh! -[all gasp]

[Jessie] It's the twerp!

-[James] And... -[Meowth] Pikachu!

-Are you all right? -I'm fine!

Now there's a sight. Drawn like a Mothim to a lamp!

Poetic!

-[both] Meowth? -And action!

-[James] Our secret... -[Jessie] Rocket Prize...

[both] Master!

[Meowth] Whoo-hoo!

-It's your turn! -Come on!

-[grunts] -Hmm.

[James] The Tadpole Pokémon, Poliwrath!

Poliwrath!

[Meowth] The Snapping Pokémon, Chewtle!

Chewtle!

I remember it from before!

It'll be strong when it evolves!

Hold it. Does Short Stuff know how to battle at all?

[mews]

It says, "Bring it on, yo!"

Yeah, Shorty?

Big things come in small packages.

Maybe. So you let 'er rip, and we'll see what you know!

h*-h*!

Poliwrath! Use Water g*n!

Poliwrath!

Pikachu, use Quick Attack!

[grunting] Pika!

[Poliwrath groans]

Quick, Chewtle, use Water g*n!

[whines, yells]

[Jessie] You'd put out a forest fire!

Scorbunny! Dodge, then Double Kick!

Scorbunny?

-[gasps] -[inhales deeply] Ah...

What's the Ember for?

[Ash] Who's that Pokémon?

-Pika? -Darmanitan!

Pika, pika!

Scorbunny! Dodge, then Double Kick!

-[groans] -Scorbunny?

-[gasps] -[inhales deeply] Ah...

What's the Ember for?

Scorbunny! [yells]

[gasps] Scorbunny!

[Scorbunny groaning]

Hey, you're good! Look at you!

[Ash] Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

-[all gasp] -[Pikachu] Pika...

-chu-uu! -[all yelling]

Now, it's a bad hair day!

[Team Rocket] We're blasting off again!

[Wobbuffet] Wobbuffet!

Scorbunny!

[Ash] That Chewtle back there was really strong, huh?

-Mm-hmm. -Pika.

-[whimpers] -[both chuckle]

You all right, Scorbunny?

-Nybun... -Hey, Scorbunny?

So why did you use Ember instead of Double Kick

like I told you to?

-Scor... -[both gasp]

Scorbunny!

-[Goh] I already said... -Huh?

There's no reason why you can't just use the moves you already know

and take part in battles that work for you.

Scorbun! [babbles]

[grunting]

You don't have to.

Listen to me!

This just isn't good enough!

-Huh? -Pika.

[groans]

[all yell]

Scorbunny!

-If you can't do it, then you can't do it! -[yelling]

What's wrong with you, anyway?

Okay, fine! Do whatever you want, Scorbunny.

[whimpers]

-Hey, Scorbunny! -Pika!

Aren't you going after it, Goh?

No, I'm not.

I don't get it!

I've been working / to come up with battle strategies!

Whoa, I didn't know you did that!

Huh? It's true.

[Ash] I get it.

But, I've gotta tell you, that last battle felt like...

like you and Scorbunny weren't really working in sync, you know?

Huh? We weren't?

Yeah! When it comes time for a battle,

it's like Pikachu and I are both coming from the exact same place, right?

Then, that's when it all starts to get flamey and boily, and then...

-kablam! -Pika, pika!

-And that's how it goes. -[Goh] That made no sense at all.

-Huh? -Pika?

Then you and Scorbunny have to stick together

until it does make sense!

-Ow! -Pika!

Now, where did Scorbunny go? I wonder.

-[Scorbunny inhales, grunts] -[all gasp]

-Uh... -Pika!

[gasps]

[screaming, grunts]

[sighs]

[screaming]

[sizzles]

[gasps]

Scorbunny's really determined to use a Fire-type move, isn't it?

-Pika. -Hmm.

-[whimpering] -[Goh] Scorbunny?

-Huh? -What you did...

[grunts]

Hey, wait a sec. Scorbunny!

Pika!

[panting]

Scor... Scor... [whines]

[all gasp]

[Jessie] Hey, buster, watch where you're going, got it?

[gasps]

[all] We know you!

-[Ash] Team Rocket! -[all] Huh?

-Pika! -[Jessie, James] Again?

[Meowth] Two sightings in one day!

See, that's a sign that I'm stealing Pikachu today for sure!

-Chewtle, attack using Bite now! -[yells]

[Goh] Dodge it, Scorbunny!

-[groans] -Scorbunny?

-Hmm? -I think there's a Fire-type move

you can use!

-Scor? -And this time, you and I are gonna win!

Scor...!

[both] Hmm!

-Are you ready? -Scorbun!

Then use Quick Attack!

-[grunts] -Chewtle, use Headbutt now!

-[grunts] -[groans]

You all right?

-Scorbun! -Yes!

-Use Double Kick! -Scor!

Scorbunny!

Now, use Bite again!

Look out!

[both grunt]

No! It dodged you again!

-Use Double Kick! -Scorbun!

[grunting]

Oh, no. Chewtle!

[groans]

[Scorbunny exhales]

[Goh] Is this...

that flamey, boily, kablam feeling?

I've never had this feeling before.

-Scorbunny? -[grunts]

What do you say? Wanna try out your Fire-type move?

-Scor... -Then use Quick Attack,

-but run in place! -[grunts]

Run faster!

[all] Whoa.

-Oh... -Scorbun!

[Scorbunny grunting]

While doing that, kick this!

[grunts]

Blow it away with Water g*n!

[yells]

-Huh? -[James] Uh, what just happened?

-Yeah! Nice! -Pika, pika!

Scor...

That was our version of Ember, yeah!

-[screams] -Huh?

-Oh... -Pika...

[suspenseful music]

Scorbunny just evolved! Wow!

Pikachu!

Uh, really? Do tell!

Hmm!

All right.

Hmm... Ember!

[grunts] Raboot!

[all gasping]

Bad hair day, part two!

[Team Rocket] While blasting off again!

[soft chuckle]

You did it, Scorbunny!

I mean...

-Let's see. -[chimes]

[Pokédex] Raboot. The Rabbit Pokémon.

A Fire type.

Raboot has fluffy fur that protects it from the cold

and lets it use stronger Fire-type moves.

Ha! Well, Raboot, that was great!

Uh...

Huh?

[narrator] Battling alongside Goh,

Scorbunny has evolved into Raboot!

But something's wrong.

What could it be?
