23x28 - Sobbing Sobble!

[bunniefuu]

[narrator] Ash and Goh came to the Galar region to watch Leon,

one of the world's greatest Trainers, in a Master Class battle.

After that, they met a Galarian Farfetch'd.

Ash battled it and ended up catching it, too!

Now, who will they meet on the second day of their Galar trip?

[Ash] It's curry, a specialty of the Galar region!

We've got Boiled-Egg Curry and Gigantamax Curry!

[Goh] Plenty of Potato Curry, Tropical Curry, and Leek Curry, too!

-[all gasping] -Pikachu.

[gasps, chuckles]

[Ash, Goh] So, let's eat!

[all laugh, munching]

Mm, this is the best I've ever tasted!

With just the right heat, texture, too.

-[Pikachu] Pikachu… -Sobble.

-Sobble. -Riolu…

[whimpers]

[gurgling]

[both] Far?

[both] Far? Farfetch'd.

-Hey, what's the matter? -Continuing yesterday's battle?

Pika-pi.

-Olu? Rio? -Pika?

[gasps]

Hey, if you wanna battle,

-do it after we're done eating! -Huh?

[groans]

[gasps]

Hm?

-[squeals] -[gasps]

[both scream]

[whimpers]

-Where'd that Pokémon come from? -Never seen that one before!

-Pika, pika. -Riolu…

-[cries] -[all gasp]

[Goh] Crying? Maybe it just recently hatched.

[Ash cries]

-I wonder what its name is? -What's wrong, Ash?

[Goh] What's with the tears?

I just-- I just can't seem to stop crying. Same as you!

I know. But what for?

[all crying]

-[Goh gasps] -[Ash] It's gone!

Guess it ran away.

-We've gotta find it! -Right!

[theme music]

[Ash, Goh] Sobbing Sobble!

[Goh] Where is it?

[Ash] Hey, Goh?

Do you really wanna catch that Pokémon?

Sure do! It knows how to disappear, just like Mew!

So cool, I've just gotta catch it!

[Joy] Oh, it's you. What's wrong?

-[Goh] Nurse Joy! -[Ash] And they're…

[both] Indeedee.

[chimes]

[rotom] Indeedee. The Emotion Pokémon.

A Psychic and Normal type.

Indeedee are highly intelligent,

sensing emotions through the horns on their heads.

Male Indeedee are loyal to their Trainers,

and female Indeedee are skilled babysitters.

Is there anything I can do to assist you?

We found a Pokémon we've never seen before, but it ran away.

It looks like it's able to disappear.

-Able to disappear? -I think it's about this big.

And there's a wobbly fin thing on the top of its head.

I see. That sounds like a Sobble.

-A Sobble? -[Joy] Yes.

Sobble like to live in areas that contain a large amount of greenery.

They tend to be very timid,

so it's extremely rare to actually see one here in town.

It's possible it could've gotten lost.

[Goh] Gotten lost?

If it's timid, then Sobble may be afraid and hiding out.

Could be.

Also, Sobble becomes invisible when it touches water. Check the fountain!

[Joy] You might find it hiding right over there.

[Ash] Makes sense.

Sobble? Are you hiding in there?

My name is Goh, and I like the cool things you can do.

You know what? I think you and I should be a team!

Sobble?

[Goh] We aren't mad at you for eating our breakfast. Really!

Hey, let's all become friends and eat together!

Guess it's not there.

It's probably far away from here by now.

[sighs]

I wanted to catch it so bad!

[blares]

How dumb! I threw one of my Poké ba*ls because I got carried away.

What a goof.

[rotom] Sobble has been registered to your Pokédex!

[all gasp]

So it was in the fountain!

-Pika, pika? -Farfetch'd?

[Jessie] Come on, where are we?

[James] I'm drawing a blank.

[Meowth] If my calculations aren't wack, we're somewhere around the Galar region.

[frustrated sigh]

And to think we had come up with a perfected plot to catch Pikachu.

[Jessie] But the nerve of that sudden wind!

Blowing us from muggy muck to misery.

and then from a blizzard straight to Galar!

What are the odds that Pikachu would be hanging out here?

-Wobbuffet! -Huh?

-Let me look through those! -What is it?

[Meowth] It's true! It's Pikachu! And those dumb Twerps, too!

-You jest! -No joke!

The stars finally give us a break!

[rotom] Sobble. The Water Lizard Pokémon. A Water type.

When Sobble touches watery substances,

its body takes on the color of its surroundings.

Because it's timid, it produces large amounts

of sweat and tears that cause it to become invisible.

So that's why it disappeared when it cried. Good for you, Goh!

-Catching a Sobble is awesome! -Sure is!

Rio?

-Olu. -Sili.

[both scream]

[gasps] What's up with Riolu?

Let's check it out!

[rotom] Silicobra. The Sand Snake Pokémon. A Ground type.

When Silicobra digs a hole, it swallows sand that it stores in a pouch in its neck

so it can spray it out later.

All right! I'm catching this one, too!

Okay, Poké Ball, go!

[grunts]

Or not.

Okay, we'll just have a battle!

Shouldn't Sobble have a big advantage, being a Water type?

Yeah! I wanna see Sobble battle, too!

Sobble, come out!

-Sobble? -There it is!

-Pika, pika! -Riolu!

Rotom, tell me, what moves can Sobble use?

[Rotom] Here they are!

-[phone beeping] -Sobble?

[both scream]

[whimpers]

-Cobra? -It disappeared!

And it stopped Silicobra cold!

Sobble, use Water g*n!

[whimpers]

-Sobble, Sobble, Cobra. -[Sobble screams]

Use Pound the second it comes out!

[Sobble grunting]

Sobble, go for it!

-Rio! -Pika, pika!

Si… Cobra!

-Huh? -Pika?

Ah! The sand made it visible again!

Sobble, make yourself vanish again!

[whimpers]

Hey, what's wrong?

I'm not sure what to do.

Maybe it's not able to become invisible.

[Silicobra grunts]

Sobble!

Pika!

[groans]

[crying]

-[all crying] -Not again!

Rotom, what's going on?

[sobbing]

[rotom] It is said that when Sobble cries,

its tears have the same effect as chopping one hundred onions.

So that's what this is about?

[crying continues]

Wait, Sobble! Return!

It's gone. It ran.

[sobs] I've gotta get Sobble back!

Yeah, let's go!

[all panting]

Where could Sobble be?

Remember, it disappears.

[gasps]

-[Pikachu] Pika? -[Ash] Look!

Lots of people are crying over there!

[Goh] Let's go!

[loud cries]

[Ash] We'll look over here!

-[Pikachu] Pika! -[Goh] Raboot, this way!

[panting]

Hold on. Nothing!

Pika, pika

-[leaves rustle] -Rio! Rio!

[gasps] In there?

-Pikachu… -Oddish!

-[Ash] Aw, that's not Sobble. -[Pikachu] Pikachu!

[Goh] Here you are.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to scare you.

[grunts]

[whimpers]

-[wails] -[Goh screams]

Wait! Don't cry, please!

I won't do anything scary! Come on, Sobble!

-[squeaks] -[Goh groans]

[water sloshing]

We've gotta do something about this.

I've gotta stop feeling like I'm breathing onions all the time!

That's it! There is a way!

[panting]

-Goh! Did you find it? -I did!

But it jumped in the river! It probably swam downstream by now!

Right! Let's search the riverbanks!

[Jessie] So now, where are we?

[James] Someplace where Pikachu isn't.

[Meowth] But it's gotta be somewhere close by.

[Wobbuffet] Wobba, wobba!

But look around! How do we look for Pikachu

when we don't know where we are?

-[plastic rustling] -Huh?

-[Jessie] Huh? -[James] What's that?

Morpe!

-[all gasp] -A Pokémon?

Yes. Though it's new to me.

So what are we talking about?

-[Rotom] A Morpeko. -What? Morpeko?

What Pokémon is that?

Honestly? I'm just not feeling it today.

-Whoa, Jess, stop, stop! -Who do you think you are, you creep?

-[all gasping] -Morpeko.

Horrors! It ate all of our provisions!

You selfish, full-tummied bum!

[Soddle grunts]

Not a thanks?

You know, a tip would've been nice.

Hm?

All right. What's this?

[rotom] It's called a Sobble. Sob-ble.

-[Goh] Sobble! -[Ash] Where are you?

-[Pikachu] Pikachu! -[all gasp]

I know those voices.

It's the Twerps and Pikachu!

Clear as day!

They were calling for something… like a Sobble.

-Still clear as day! -So we've got what they want!

Wo-wobbuffet!

[all laugh evilly]

[Ash] Who's that Pokémon?

[whimpering]

-Pika? -Sobble.

Pika, pika!

[Goh] Sobble! Where are you?

[Ash] Come on out, Sobble!

-Pika! -Rio!

Man, this is weird. Maybe it's farther down.

-[Goh] It's all my fault. -Huh?

I forced Sobble into battle without even checking to see if it even wanted to.

What kind of Pokémon wouldn't wanna run away from a Trainer like that?

Goh?

You'll make sure you do better next time!

Remember, you just caught it, right?

There's no need to be perfect right off the bat.

I guess.

-I hear you. -[both chuckle]

Sobble! Where are you?

Right this way!

-What way? -Who is that?

Prepare for trouble, are you all that surprised?

Just make it a double, and super-sized!

To protect the world from devastation!

To unite all people within our nation!

To denounce the evils of truth and love!

To extend our reach to the stars above!

-Jessie! -And James!

Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!

Surrender now or prepare for a lop-sided fight!

-Meowth! That's right! -Wobbuffet!

[both] Team Rocket?

[Jessie] Could it be this is the Pokémon you're looking for?

Sobble.

-It's Sobble! -Why do you have it?

We're perfectly willing to give it back.

Only, you'd have to trade it for that Pikachu of yours!

[gasps]

[laughs evilly]

[cries]

-[all sobbing] -Huh?

Weren't we just laughing at them?

-Why are we crying? -Like I would know!

[cries louder] We want Pikachu, or we're not gonna play!

So trade it for Sobble, and we'll steal away!

Not funny! You'll never get Pikachu!

But you're still giving Sobble back!

[Jessie] Bad Twerps! That's so not nice!

[James] Leaving us with nothing for our toil and trouble? How cruel!

[Meowth] Where's your Twerpish compassion?

Now there's a switch up.

Like we're the bad guys.

[both] Mm-hmm.

[sobbing continues]

No! Banish the bawling!

Don't you see? Every time you start crying, we cry, too?

[whimpers] Sobble.

-If you won't play fair… -Then no more mister nice team!

Come on down!

[Pelipper singing]

[explodes]

[both] You know the drill! You are the drill!

-[Meowth] Every drill bit helps… -[Jessie and James] Our secret…

-Rocket Prize… -Master!

[Magnezone babbles]

[Jessie] The Magnet Area Pokémon, Magnezone!

Armaldo!

[James] And the Plate Pokémon, Armaldo!

We've gotta save Sobble!

Raboot, use Double Kick!

Raboot!

Pikachu, use Quick Attack!

Riolu, use Double Team!

Olu!

Armaldo, Metal Claw!

Magnezone, Supersonic!

Armaldo!

[Pikachu squeals]

[loud high pitched noise]

[screaming]

[both evil laughing]

[laughing]

Sobble.

[groaning]

[Jessie] Serves you right.

You wouldn't do the deal, so that's what you get.

Honestly, who would get all worked up just to get such a crybaby Pokémon back?

A Twerp, of course!

Stop it! Sobble may cry a lot, but it's anything but a weakling, you hear me?

Sob… Sobble.

You wait, Sobble! I'll save you no matter what it takes!

Sob…

Touching. Cheeky Twerp!

Magnezone? Use Supersonic all you like!

[babbles, rumbles]

[all screaming]

[Goh groaning] Sobble… I'll…

save you!

[gasps]

[indistinct chatter]

[Goh] Sobble? Are you hiding in there?

My name is Goh, and I like the cool things you can do.

You know what? I think you and I should be a team!

[grunts]

[screaming continues]

[both sniggering]

-[grunts] -[groans]

-Hey! -Oh, no! I say! It got away!

Wobbuffet!

I told you not to buy a bargain-bin cage!

Well, what did you expect with the bare-bones budget we've got?

-Huh? -Hm?

[both] Turncoat!

Sobble, run as fast as you can!

-It's getting away! -[James] Stop it!

-Sobble! -[screams]

[Sobble] Sobble!

Nice hold, Armaldo!

[screaming, panting] Sobble!

[whines]

Here we go.

[chuckles] Ash, take these!

[cries]

[all gasp, cry]

Wow! Magnezone's heart of steel is preventing even one tear!

Armaldo's stoic, too!

[cries]

[James] Me and my big emotional mouth!

[crying]

[Jessie] Those are your eyes? Who knew?

[both groan]

Boo-hoo! But the Twerps are going to have the exact same problem

we've been having! [gasps, screams]

Thanks, Goh. Goggles rule!

Totally.

[Goh] I remembered the talk about a hundred onions

and the way Mr. Mime would prepare our meals!

[laughs] Mime, mime!

-Yup. That's Mimey! -You said it!

[both] No fair!

-Goh, last chance! -Time for a counterattack!

-Riolu, Vacuum Wave! -Now, Raboot, use Ember!

Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

Rio!

Raboot!

Pikachu!

-[Jessie screams] -[expl*si*n]

[James, Jessie] We're sadly blasting off again!

[Wobbuffet screams] Wobbuffet!

-[Goh] Sobble? -[whimpers]

I'm sorry. Forcing you to battle was just wrong.

Sobble.

So, from now on, I'll check with you first

to find out if you'd like to have a battle or not, okay?

Sobble…

You know, your timidness showed me something.

So…

It showed me you're always on alert and looking out for yourself.

And that way, you're always making sure that you and your friends don't get hurt.

That's why you may be timid, but you're no weakling!

[Goh] You're really strong!

So…

Wait! No! Don't start crying!

[laughter]

[narrator] Goh and Sobble are now partners,

and they've also grown just a bit closer, as our heroes' journey continues!

[birds chirping]

[Jessie] This is the worst of the worst!

After all this time, we still can't plunder Pikachu.

Practice makes perfect.

Wobbuffet!

-Hey! Pikachu? -Where?

Oh, no, this one again?

Morpeko-peko.

Guess it's ready for a snack break again.

We're fresh out of food! Thanks to you and that big appetite!

So, take it elsewhere!

Morpeko!

That's not a look I've ever seen.

Unless someone's raving mad.

[screams]

[Jessie whimpers]

[Team Rocket] Two blasts in one day?

Wobba!
