JENNY:My Chatot is a true buddy!

- CHATOT: Fuddy duddy!- DAWN: Wow, a Chatot.

POKEDEX:Chatot. The Music Note Pokémon.

It hears wordsand then mimics them.

CHATOT: Mimic! Gimmick!

BROCK: So what are youtaking Ash into custody for?

JENNY: I was transferred herefrom Kanto a short while ago

and subsequentlyreceived word that Team Rocket

had begun operations inthe Sinnoh region as well.

And since Ash appearsto encounter Team Rocket

quite frequently, I'm hereto ask him for his help.

ASH: Well, Team Rocket keepson chasing after me for sure.

See, they're after my Pikachu.

JENNY: This is thePikachu I've heard about.

JENNY: There's nothingparticularly remarkable

I can see.

ASH: Pikachu, knock it off!Oh, man!

JENNY: Well. Perhaps I spokejust a little bit too soon.

- DAWN: Are you all right?- JENNY: I'm just fine.

So, Ash, do you think you'llbe able to help me with my work?

- ASH: Sure! Whatever you need.- BROCK: I'd like to help, too!

JENNY:Well, it's really not difficult.

I would simply requestthat you all stand around

just like bowling pins.

All I'm asking you to dois hang around. What do you say?

CHATOT:What do you say? Say it's okay!

ASH: So this is howa bowling pin feels.

DAWN: I'd sure like to know howthis is going to help her out.

PIPLUP: [CONFUSED]

BROCK: Look over there!That's Jenny behind the tree!

ASH: What's she up to?

DAWN: Hey, you don't think she'susing us as decoys, do you?

- ASH: No way.- BROCK: Jenny wouldn't do that!

CHIEF: Ash Ketchum, what are youdoing standing around like that?

BROCK: Who are you?

CHIEF: Well, son,I'm the chief of police!

JENNY: Well, well,so you're the famous Ash Ketchum

who's always bumpinginto Team Rocket!

- I'm Jenny.- ASH: But, just before

JENNY:It's an honor to meet you!

JENNY: So, Chief, what bringsyou around these parts?

CHIEF: I don't like this.

Are you luring people into oneof your investigations again?

JENNY: Whatever could you mean?

CHIEF: I mean,

you had these kids standaround to lure Team Rocket here,

- now didn't you?- JENNY: I resent that remark.

My only concern is the completesafety of all of our citizens!

Like these kids!

CHATOT: Like the girl andthe boys. They're decoys!

CHIEF:Now why am I not surprised?

JENNY: It's not good for youto get all worked up like this!

All your adorableassistants are waiting for you

back at the station!

CHIEF: Adorable, hey!

I don't care ifyou're wild or mild.

All I know is,since you transferred to Sinnoh,

it's been bad news!One more mistake,

and you'll be writing"I'm sorry" a thousand times!

JENNY: Good thing Iwas wearing these.

CHATOT:Wearing these. Life's a breeze.

ASH: Whoa, earplugs?

JENNY: So, how about alittle lunch? My treat!

ASH: Wow, really?

DAWN: But, guys,do you really think we should?

ASH, BROCK, PIKACHU,CHATOT, PIPLUP: [HAPPY]

- ASH: Man, is this good!- BROCK: Now this is a sandwich!

DAWN: But somethingdoesn't seem right.

JENNY: There's nothing toworry about, Dawn. I'm here!

DAWN: Thank you! The somethingthat doesn't seem right is you.

JENNY:We've spotted Team Rocket!

BROCK: Or maybe not.

ASH:Hey, those guys are thieves!

JENNY: I want you all tostay here. Buddy, let's go!

CHATOT: Buddy, big show!

JENNY: Wild Tornado!

Bowling straighton down the alley!

CHATOT:Bowling straight. Don't be late.

JENNY: Wild Tornado!

CHATOT:Use Feather Dance! Happy trance!

THIEF []:Hey, wanna take a break?

THIEF []: Do we have a choice?

ASH: Awesome.

BROCK: Wow, that was amazing!

Feather Dance is normally for

lowering opponents'attack strength.

DAWN: Who knew you could useFeather Dance the way they did?

PIPLUP: [IMPRESSED]

JENNY: Wild Tornado!Time for the ol' Hook Ball!

CHATOT:Hook ball! Made him fall!

JENNY: Freeze.Don't move a muscle.

I suggest you give up whileyou can. Your friends did.

JENNY: Course, if you resist...

THIEF []: Ha! You've alreadyused all three of your balls.

You don't have any balls left.

JENNY:If you're so sure, then run.

But if there is one left,

I'll guaranteeyou that it's heavy

and much harderthan a diamond

with a turbochargedpower booster.

One hit,and that's all she wrote.

THIEF []: I knew it.You were bluffing all along!

ASH: That was so cool!PIKACHU: [IMPRESSED]

JENNY: I said wait!But guess I can't blame you.

BROCK: Jenny's wild all right!

CHATOT: Jenny's wild all right!Jenny's not mild all right!

REPORTER []: May we have astatement for the Sinnoh News,

please?

REPORTER []:Yes! For our many readers?

JENNY: I really don't likebeing the center of attention.

How's this for a pose?

DAWN:She doesn't mind it that much.

ASH: I'd say so.PIKACHU: [AMUSED]

ASH: Look out!

JESSIE: Aww, did youmiss us while we were gone?

DAWN: You guys never learn!

PIPLUP: [ANGRY]

JENNY:What do you know, Team Rocket.

CHATOT: Team Socket!

JENNY: Strange.They seem to have

a different sortof air about them

from other Team RocketsI've battled before.

ASH: Stop now!

JENNY: Team Rocket,I'm your worst nightmare!

CHATOT: Worst fright scare.

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH:Come back, brat!

PIKACHU: [EFFORT]

JESSIE:Success! I caught more than air!

JENNY: Right!

ASH:All right, Staravia, let's go!

STARAVIA: [APPEARING]

ASH: Fly and take a lookaround for Team Rocket!

JENNY: I'll find you,Chatot, don't worry!

If it's the last thing I do.

I remember first meeting Chatot

back when I had justbecome a detective.

JENNY: Stop!

JENNY: A strike! I did it.

JENNY: Maybe I was too soft.

JENNY: You're under arrest!

CHATOT:Under arrest! You're the best!

JENNY:First my bowling ball stops him,

and then your Feather Dancefinishes up the job!

I think we're goingto be good buddies.

CHATOT: Buddy! Good buddy!Good buddy! Good buddy!

JENNY: And from that moment on,

together my buddy and I arrestedcriminal after criminal.

JENNY: Hold it right there!

JENNY: Wild Tornado!

JENNY: Always together.Side by side, as a team.

JENNY: Through the goodtimes and the bad times.

We always faced them together.

JENNY: Now you see why Ican't stand being apart.

ASH: Hey, I hear you.

Don't know what I'd dowithout my buddy Pikachu.

JENNY: Whatever it takes to saveyou, I'll do it. My best buddy.

JESSIE: Okay, let's do thisbefore the Twerps undo it.

JAMES: Scads of wicked work,in the net!

MEOWTH:What you see is what you get!

JAMES: If memory serves,

I recall Chatot canmimic human speak.

CHATOT:Human speak. Triple sneak.

JESSIE:Verbal and quite annoying, too.

MEOWTH: Annoying or not,

think of what a greatgift it'd be for the Boss!

MEOWTH: After a hard day of

dealing with dumb dopes who makehim feel like a lousy loser,

he'll turn to theChatot we gave him

and ask the followingloaded question:

MEOWTH [AS GIOVANNI]:Chatot, am I great?

CHATOT:You're great! You're great!

MEOWTH [AS GIOVANNI]:But am I cool?

CHATOT: You're cool! You rule!

MEOWTH [AS GIOVANNI]:I feel a whole lot better now!

I've got to do somethingreally nice for Meowth

and his friends for giving me

this confidence-boostingchum of a Chatot!

MEOWTH: So, say it loud!

MEOWTH, JESSIE, JAMES: Time todig out of the ditch, folks,

and hobnob with therich folks like us!

CHATOT: Lame! Game!

ASH: So what's the plan, Jenny?

JENNY: I'm going to bustin there and get Chatot!

But it's going to be dangerous,so you'd better leave it to me.

BROCK: Please, let us help you!

ASH: Don't forget, the onlyreason your Chatot was stolen

doomed to a life ofgetting toppled over and over.

MEOWTH: So we decided to dealwith you law-enforcement yahoos

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

JENNY: What in the worldare they talking about?

MEOWTH: About this!

JENNY, ASH, BROCK, DAWN,PIPLUP, PIKACHU: [SCARED]

- JAMES: No way!- JESSIE: Foul play!

MEOWTH: Here's what I say!

JENNY: It's time to give up.

If my next ballconnects with you,

your machine's going to explode.

- CHATOT: Going to explode!- JAMES: As if!

JESSIE: You've alreadythrown all three balls!

MEOWTH:And three minus three makes zip!

JENNY: If you're so sure,then don't believe me.

But if there is one ball left,

I'll guarantee you that it'sheavy and harder than a diamond

with a turbochargedpower booster!

One more hit,and that's all she wrote.

when she confronted that thief.
