I beg you to allowme a breathing break!

JESSIE: Hey! That reminds me,what's on the lunch menu?

MEOWTH: There's an awesomeall-you-can-eat joint up ahead!

JAMES: Gads, by farthe most profound part of

"all you can eat" is itimplies all we can eat!

MEOWTH: What a great gig we hadat the Pokémon Summer Academy.

JAMES: Incomparableemployment the likes of which

I've never seen.

JAMES:Laboring in the lap of luxury.

Three squares a dayand capped by a nap!

MEOWTH: A nice soft bed withwhich to cuddle my snoring head!

JESSIE: And winning themost popular girl prize

had me number onein everyone's eyes!

JESSIE: Jessalinda, teen dream!With skin like peaches and cream

JESSIE: The top of this team!

JESSIE:Hey, keep it to yourself!

You two sad sacksare simply jealous

of my powerful popularity!

JAMES: Jealous?

Your peaches-and-creamskin now seems to be

nothing more than peachpits and milk curdles!

MEOWTH: And a wholelot more skin to boot.

JESSIE: Well, I'll haveyou chuckleheads know

a brilliant actress like memakes age-defying headlines!

JESSIE: Check the cheeks!

This bubbling babyface makesthe long sought after dream

of eternal youth aravishing reality!

JAMES: I think yourdream's on shaky ground.

MEOWTH: It's jiggling all right.

WOBBUFFET: [EXASPERATED]

PIPLUP: [SLEEPIING]

JOY: Piplup's fine!I find nothing wrong,

JOY: other than amild case of exhaustion.

JOY: Perhaps Piplup'soverdoing things.

DAWN: It's all my fault.

JOY: Now, Dawn, come on.

Please don't beso hard on yourself

JOY:Anyway, one thing's for sure is

this little one needs some rest!

DAWN: Yeah.

BROCK: Of course! ThanksNurse Joy! You were great.

ASH: Maybe from now on,we should all take it easier!

PIKACHU: [AGREEING]DAWN: Right!

PIPLUP: [SLEEPING]

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH:Boy howdy, that hits the spot!

JAMES: Ha! Woo! And I'vesurely got the spot to hit!

JESSIE:No better place to park food.

MEOWTH: If I was any happier,my mouth would explode!

JESSIE: Now that's strange.

JESSIE: See,if I didn't know any better,

I'd say your charmwas starting to sink!

MEOWTH: This charm?

JAMES: Let's give it thepush test! Press in lightly.

JAMES: It's like...cream cheese!

MEOWTH: Yipes! My melon's moosh!

JESSIE:I think you've been padding

the old mattressif you get my drift.

MEOWTH: Aw!

JESSIE: Padding the mattress!What a knee slapper!

MEOWTH: Oh yeah? Well I'll betyou can't even see your knees!

JESSIE:Well for your information,

I need a new uniform!

JESSIE: What's wrong?

MEOWTH: You look sick!

JAMES:I just remembered something!

JAMES: As I was puttingon my boots this morning,

I realized my beltwas buried in belly!

JESSIE: You mean your belly wasbillowing out over your buckle?

MEOWTH:When you can't see anything

south of the borderline,

that means you'regetting chunky!

JAMES:I don't want to be chunky!

JESSIE:Do we suffer the same fate?

MEOWTH: Well,I hate to break this to you,

but while we were slackingoff at that summer school,

we were packing on more lbs.

than a bowl of alphabet soup,get it?

JAMES, MEOWTH, JESSIE:Fat heads, fat heads,

roly-poly fat heads.

JAMES, MEOWTH, JESSIE: Help!It's all downhill from here!

JESSIE: This will not do!

We're a lean, mean Team Rocketfighting machine!

Not a bunch of ice cream floats!

JAMES: Right! Like threefreshly blooming roses,

we're definitely dashing,dignified, and debonair!

JAMES: Lest we forget

the torturous Team Rockettraining we once endured!

JESSIE: And beingTeam Rocket's A-plus actress,

I could've claimedto be a pre-teen

and gotten away with it!

MEOWTH:And even constantly competing

with the Boss'sstable of rare Pokémon,

I could still rise tothe top of the lap heap!

JESSIE: It's time forsome basic training!

JAMES, MEOWTH:You mean like bivouac?

JESSIE: Right soldiers!Back to the basics!

To return to our roots andonce again fit in our suits!

JAMES, MEOWTH: Weird whenshe makes sense, you know?

JESSIE: Tote that barge!And lift that bale!

It's shape up time!

JAMES:That may be a bit over the top.

MEOWTH: Look out!She's gonna pop!

JESSIE: Pop? Not I!I'm harking back to when

we aspired toTeam Rocket greatness!

JAMES: When ambitionwas the order of the day!

MEOWTH: And the orderdidn't include fries!

JESSIE: It's one for three.

JAMES, MEOWTH: And you for me!

OLD WOMAN: Excuse us, won't you?

OLD WOMAN: but would it troubleyou terribly if we sat here?

JAMES, MEOWTH, JESSIE:No, have a seat!

MEOWTH: We actuallyjust finished stuffing

our well-fed faces!

JAMES: We said that?

JESSIE: We were so nice...

MEOWTH: like decent dopes!

OLD WOMAN: Now isn't that nice?Thank you very much young folks.

OLD MAN: Kind of refreshing to

come across such kind andcaring youngsters isn't it?

JESSIE: Gee, thanks a lot.

MEOWTH: Refreshing?

JAMES: The horror and the shame.

JESSIE: We're so round,we've lost all our edges!

JAMES: All our evil-nesseshave been routed by our rolls!

JAMES, MEOWTH, JESSIE:We've got to cut the fat

and get back to where we're at!

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

ASH: Professor Oak'sjust giving me some advice!

Hey, you might beinterested in this, too!

DAWN: What kind of advice?

ASH: You'll see!

So, please continuewhat you were saying, okay?

OAK: Of course!

When it comes to size and power,Gliscor's got the upper hand,

but the problem arises if youropponent is somehow able to get

behind Gliscor, which willenable an attack with ease!

OAK: The point being,

you need to pay attention toagility as you raise Gliscor!

ASH: Agility, got it.

OAK: A simple word, agility.

A simple key tobattling victory!

DAWN: That's awesome!

You write poetry evenwhen you're giving out advice!

OAK: By the way,

I do hope that you'reexchanging information

with other Trainersand Coordinators.

DAWN:I'm not sure what you mean.

OAK: The Pokémon Center'sa place for friends.

For meeting old and new.That's for you!

DAWN: I see!

Then that means there'ssomething useful I can be doing,

even when Piplup's resting!

ASH: Cool! Information exchange!

PIKACHU: [ENCOURAGING]

DAWN: I'll do it!Thanks a lot Professor Oak!

See you!

DAWN: Hi there! How are you?

OLDER GIRL: I'm fine, thanks!
