Quick, Grovyle. Use b*llet Seed.

[b*llet SEED MOVE]

[EXERTION]

NARRATOR The mountains near the Battle Arena

are the perfect setting for our heroes to do a little training

as their Battle Frontier Quest continues.

I've never seen Ash work it so hard.

Yeah.

Amazing. Mudkip's now Marshtomp.

ASH "A Chip Off The Old Brock."

PIKACHU [HAPPY]

[PROUD]

Marshtomp, wow.

[EXCITED]

Marshtomp, the Mudfish Pokémon.

It's the evolved form of Mudkip.

It can move faster through mud

'than it can through water.'

[MUD SHOT MOVE]

- Whoa, its Mud Shot. - Dodge it.

[EXERTION]

Uh...eh!

[PAINED]

Uh, it came from those bushes.

Huh?

[WEAK]

Flaafy! Oh, no. My Flaafy.

I'm so sorry. I didn't know you were here.

Oh, dear. It looks like Flaafy's in bad shape.

That Mud Shot is a Ground-type attack

and since Flaafy's an Electric type

that hit was superstrong.

Hang on. I'll go and get some medicine.

- Wait. - Huh?

We won't need it.

Here we go. We'll be all better in no time.

Huh?

Huh? What's that?

MAY It looks like a drug store.

PIKACHU [CURIOUS]

Here we go.

Now, drink this.

[CONTENT]

[SHUDDERING]

[all gasps]

[PLEASED]

- Whoa! - Flaafy looks as good as new.

Sure, your Flaafy's gonna be just fine.

Grandma, thank you so much.

Isn't that great, Flaafy?

FLAAFY [HAPPY]

We're all really sorry

about what happened back there.

MARSHTOMP [APOLOGETIC]

See, we were right in the middle of trainin'

for the Battle Arena.

Don't give it a second thought. Right, Flaafy?

[HAPPY]

Now, did I hear you say you're training

to compete at the Battle Frontier?

Yeah, I'm Ash Ketchum, from Pallet Town.

[FRIENDLY]

- My name's May. - And I'm Max.

Brock's my name, greatest future Pokémon breeder in the world

and this is Marshtomp.

[FRIENDLY]

I'm Mariah, and that's Katie.

It's nice to meet you.

My, my. What a gorgeous name.

Huh?

[ADORING]

[CONFUSED]

Uh-oh.

That evolving has turned

Marshtomp into Brock Jr.

Perfect. You and me.

Marshtomp and Flaafy.

A double date that will go down in history.

A date that will live in infamy.

'Setting the stage for true love without end.'

MAX 'Show's over.'

MAY/MAX Let's go.

MAX/MAY All big mouths off the stage.

[chuckles]

Wow, that medicine of yours sure works.

When it comes to making Pokémon medicine

Grandma's an expert.

Trainers just love her. She's in big demand.

Wow.

[IMPRESSED]

Katie, I did it!

AMPHAROS [GREETING]

Have a look at my first batch

of energy medicine.

Hmm. Let's see.

Hmm..

ASH/MAY/BROCK/MAX/MARIAH Huh..

Mm-mm, you didn't mix the Cheri Berry very well.

So I can't sell it.

Sorry, guess I've got a lot to learn.

[DISAPPOINTED]

If I can learn.

- 'Stop it.' - Huh?

Hey, you goofed up.

But the next time, you'll do a lot better.

Yeah! You're right.

Huh? New customers?

Oh, this is Ash, and his friends too.

And this is McCauley.

He and I work here with Grandma.

- How are you? - We're fine, thanks.

[GREETING]

JESSIE 'So that's the famous one-stop'

Pokémon medicine shop, huh?

Inside those four walls lies a fortune.

That's medicine I wouldn't mind taking.

Steal enough of that stuff, and we could heal

our sick bank accounts for sure.

Good.

Just what the doctor ordered.

So, you'll mind the store while I'm gone?

- Okay. - Uh, Katie?

While you're making Pokémon medicine, could I watch?

It would really help me as a Pokémon breeder.

- Oh, I'd love to watch too. - Me too.

KATIE Sure. Follow me.

How about some more trainin', Pikachu?

[EAGER]

Great.

KATIE So then, you mix the seven types of tree fruits

with the Magikarp scales into a paste

just like this, then add the dew from a Sunkern leaf.

It must be done this way exactly.

That's just what we want.

'Now we need electricity.'

- Electricity? - That's right.

Mareep, I choose you.

[APPEARING]

Now, use Thunder.

[THUNDER MOVE]

Hmm.

[intense music]

Good, stop.

MAREEP [CONTENT]

It looks just right.

BROCK/MAY/MAX Whoa!

Whoa, that stuff looks potent.

So, after Mareep's Thunder Attack

has completed electrolysis

all you're left with is pure, perfect medicine.

Exactly, Brock.

And that's not all.

Since it only contains natural ingredients

it's easy on the Pokémon.

Great idea, usin' Thunder like that.

Well, I owe it all to Mareep.

MAREEP [HAPPY]

Truth is, my Grandma invented the process.

The tricky part is deciding

how long and strong the lightning should be.

Boy, I'll bet.

And the sooner you learn how to deal with that tricky part

the easier my life will become.

Grandma, I hear you.

- Excuse me, whippersnapper. - Yes, Sir?

I hear the Poké medicine you sell here

is the Beedrill's knees.

You see, our precious little Snorlax Poo

is one puny-feeling Pokémon.

MEOWTH 'Snorlax.'

That sounds awful.

Okay, hold on.

Oh, money's no object

so don't be stingy with the sauce.

Fill her up with your best and be lively with ya.

Bingo!

Jackpot.

Too much is never enough.

That works for me.

But, wait. Stop that.

I can't let you take all that medicine.

It's not much. Have a look.

[groans]

- Huh? - Howdy!

MCCAULEY A Meowth and a Wobbuffet in a Snorlax suit.

JESSIE/JAMES Oops! Jig's up.

JESSIE/JAMES We're feeling much better.

Come back here. Give me that medicine.

- 'Robbers.' - Robbers?

Grovyle, b*llet Seed, let's go.

[b*llet SEED MOVE]

[screams]

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH We're naked!

[EXASPERATED]

MAY/MAX/ASH/BROCK Team Rocket!

I've got you now.

- Give me that back! - Dream on, big boy.

Snorlax swallowed it and that's how it stays.

The purpose of this medicine to help treat

sick and wounded Pokémon.

[ANGRY]

It's purpose is to make us rich.

So how can you be so selfish?

Give it up, turn it loose.

Not in a hundred million years.

Quick, Marshtomp. Mud Shot.

[MUD SHOT MOVE]

[screams]

[groaning]

Caring for the sick.

If we had health insurance

things would be different.

[shudders]

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Even our boat gets lousy treatment.

[screams]

MARIAH Is everything alright?

Sure. The medicine is just fine.

No, not that. Are you alright?

Am I? Of course, yeah.

- I'm just fine. - I'm glad.

Huh? Is something wrong?

MARIAH 'No, nothing.'

[PLEASED]

- Yeah, nothin'. - Ha ha ha!

BROCK 'Think of it, the greatest Pokémon'

'medicine-maker and Pokémon breeder, together forever.'

Mariah and I would be the one couple

dedicated to a lifetime of helping Pokémon and each other.

And it doesn't get better than that, does it?

Hey, Marshtomp, you and Flaafy would make

a pretty nice couple too.

MARSHTOMP [HAPPY]

Now, wouldn't that be nice?

Ha-ha, nicest.

Pikachu, we'll be at the Battle Arena soon. You're ready?

[AGREEMENT]

Uh-oh.

[NOTICING]

That light. What's goin' on?

[intense music]

MAX/MAY/ASH/BROCK Huh?

I think that's good.

Of course, it might be good to use more.

[THUNDER MOVE]

[screams]

Huh. What? You guys?

[chuckles]

Don't you think it's a little late

to be up practicing your medicine making?

Yeah.

But I can't wait to be as good as Doctor Katie.

I've known Mariah since we were little.

And we've always loved to watch

Doctor Katie make her Pokémon medicine.

It's magic seeing Dr. Katie and Mareep work together

and create all sorts of wonderful things.

Mariah and I wanted to grow up and make even better medicines.

We've both been inspired to help Pokémon and Trainers

from all over the world

by following in Doctor Katie's footsteps.

I just don't cut it.

Try and try as I may

I'll never be as good as I need to be.

ASH/MAX/MAY/BROCK Hmm..

- Oh, is that so? - Huh?

Huh? Doctor.

There's only one thing that you really lack..

...and that's confidence.

Ampharos needs you to be sure of your orders.

You just make that one change, and watch what happens.

Ah, you think?

Right, I'll do it.

Everyone, get outside!

Guys, look up there.

[all gasping]

- 'But how?' - 'My shop.'

Huh? What's going on?

- Oh. - Mariah!

- Stay calm. - But, the store's flying.

- 'Brilliant.' - Who's that?

JAMES Us, silly.

Bringing you tomorrow's evil technology today.

ASH/MAY Team Rocket!

I remember those guys.

Now what do you want with my shop?

Prepare for trouble, it's our shop and medicine.

Now watch the fun begin.

An evil as old as the galaxy.

Sent here to fulfill our destiny.

Meowth, that's me.

To denounce the evils of truth and love.

To extend our reach to the stars above.

- Jessie. - James.

Meowth's the name.

Whenever there's peace in the Universe..

- Team Rocket.. - Is there..

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH To make everything worse.

WOBBUFFET/MIME JR. [AGREEMENT]

- What? - They've got Mime Jr.?

[SHOCKED]

JESSIE Think of this as our

version of eminent domain.

- We rule. - I'll tell you, we're on fire.

What strange people.

- 'Mariah.' - Huh?

I'll save you, don't worry.

AMPHAROS [CONFIDENT]

[grunts]

- Guys, be careful. - Hang on.

MCCAULEY We're doing our best.

AMPHAROS [STRUGGLING]

Hey, those two are rocking the boat.

Meowth, rock their socks off.

Right, shake, rattle and roll.

[screaming]

Aah, I'm gonna fall!

- Not if I can help it! - Huh?

- The medicine. - And the Sunkern dew.

Twerp tenacity.

Let's take 'em. Lock, stock, and losers.

- Ignition. - Lift off.

MEOWTH Later.

They're gettin' away, what are we gonna do?

We've no choice, Brock, use Marshtomp's Mud Shot

to sh**t them all down.

Right. Now, Marshtomp, Mud Shot.

[MUD SHOT MOVE]

JESSIE/JAMES Ah! Yipes!

Chill out. Back at ya.

[screaming]

MARSHTOMP/PIKACHU [WORRIED]/[PAINED]

Pikachu!

Mareep!

MAREEP/PIKACHU [PAINED]

- Ah! - Ah, Mareep. Pikachu.

Pikachu, say something.

[WEAK]

Please, Mareep, wake up.

[PAINED]

All these poor Pokémon getting hit with Mud Shot by mistake.

There's no time to waste.

I need Electric Pokémon medicine now!

But there's no medicine left.

Every medicine bottle fell down and got smashed.

[grunts] Why, those nasty..

[laughing]

I think you should know that flattery will get you nowhere.

But we'll be gettin' a raise.

[HAPPY]

Huh?

MIME JR. [PLAYFUL]

[screaming]

FLAAFY/AMPHAROS [SCARED]

Huh?

- That thing is bad news. - A loser.

- A real pain in the paw. - Don't listen.

They're both jealous.

Just two left.

If I mix them together

do you think it would heal Electric Pokémon?

- Maybe. - Right.

We've got no choice.

[DETERMINED]

But how will it work without

the dew from the Sunkern leaf?

Listen, we've got two injured Pokémon out there.

They need help, and right now, we're their only hope!

Oh. Okay.

Fix it! What kind of man are you?

A pressured one.

I'm not even goin' there.

[THUNDER MOVE]

Ampharos, more!

Give that Thunder Attack all you've got.

[THUNDER MOVE]

[STRUGGLING]

FLAAFY [CONCERN]

Yeah, keep it up!

Do it for Pikachu, and Mareep.

[STRUGGLING]

That's it. Just a little bit more.

FLAAFY [THUNDER MOVE]

Huh? Ah.

There's strength in numbers.

With four of us, it's a cinch.

Awesome. Now.

Give it everything you've got, Ampharos.

Flaafy, show us all what you're made of.

FLAAFY/AMPHAROS [THUNDER MOVE]

More voltage. You've got to give us more juice.

AMPHAROS/FLAAFY [THUNDER MOVE]

- Okay, stop. - Finished.

- Ship-shape to shove off. - Finally.

- Meowth, ignition. - Ignitin'.

JESSIE/JAMES Ta! Gotta run!

MEOWTH It was fun, not.

[grunting]

Grandma, we did it.

We made this from the last two bottles.

Here it comes.

Uh-oh.

Ah, they did do it.

JESSIE Maybe they'll name a hospital after us.

Ooh, "Team Rocket Memorial."

- 'Afraid not.' - Huh?

Pikachu, Thunder.

Mareep, Thunder as well.

PIKACHU/MAREEP [THUNDER MOVE]

Payback time.

PIKACHU/MAREEP [EXERTION]

- Ampharos. - Flaafy.

MCCAULEY/MARIAH Use Thunder.

AMPHAROS/FLAAFY [THUNDER MOVE]

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Huh?

[screaming]

- Let's hurry. - Come on, guys.

AMPHAROS/FLAAFY [EXERTION]

[groaning]

Relocatin' a business is never easy.

PIKACHU/MAREEP [ANGRY]

That medicine is supposed to help Pokémon.

Not you.

Yeah? So what's your point?

I happen to be a big fan of self-help.

Come on out, Seviper.

And you too, Cacnea. Let's go.

[APPEARING]

[APPEARING]

Daddy loves you too, but we're battling now.

- Needle Arm. - Seviper, Poison Tail.

[POISON TAIL MOVE]

[NEEDLE ARM MOVE]

Okay, Marshtomp. Use your Water g*n.

[WATER g*n MOVE]

SEVIPER/CACNEA [PAINED]

[screaming]

- I don't wanna feel left out. - Neither do I.

- Flaafy. - Ampharos.

MARIAH/MCCAULEY Thunder together, go.

AMPHAROS/FLAAFY [THUNDER MOVE]

[screaming]

What a team.

Yeah, that's somethin' you hardly ever see.

Pikachu, Use Thunder.

Quick, Mareep, you too.

PIKACHU/MAREEP [THUNDER MOVE]

[screaming]

So much for our own hospital.

Memorial memories.

Time like this, it would've come in handy.

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH We're blasting off again!

WOBBUFFET [EXASPERATED]

KATIE Ah, you mean you didn't use any Sunkern Dew?

No, the last bottle we had was broken.

Dear me.

And still you were able to make a medicine this powerful?

Thanks to Ampharos, Flaafy, and Mariah too.

We worked together as a team.

- That's why it happened. - Not true.

It was your complete confidence that made it all work.

You think?

- I didn't notice. - Hmm.

You know, I can leave the shop to you two after all.

MCCAULEY/MARIAH Huh? Great.

We won't let you down, we promise.

FLAAFY/AMPHAROS [AFFECTIONATE]

Well, that's that.

[DISAPPOINTED]

Tough break.

But somehow I'm not surprised.

Huh?

You understand them?

[CONFUSED]

KATIE Just keep going straight and you'll find the Battle Arena.

MARIAH Good luck, Ash. You'll be great.

Thanks, I'll do my best.

[HAPPY]

And all this Pokémon medicine..

How can we ever thank you?

Don't you worry, you already have.

And, Brock? You'll make a great breeder.

Thanks.

You two make a great team

so take care, bye.

MARIAH/MCCAULEY Thank you. Goodbye.

You take care.

FLAAFY/AMPHAROS/MAREEP [FRIENDLY]

Thanks for everything, you guys.

MAY/MAX/BROCK Bye-bye!
