MEOWTH: Word up.

JESSIE: And not a snowysign of the Twerp troop!

MEOWTH: Be thankful you'vegot boot heels to freeze.

I'm standing on two pawcicles.

JESSIE: Might I perhaps beheading for a fl*sh-frozen end?

JAMES, MEOWTH: Our ends, too?WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

FROSLASS: [FRIENDLY]

[CHEERING]

ASH: Oh man,

I can't even tell youwhich direction we're headed.

DAWN: I'd always heard mountainweather can be unpredictable,

but this is insane.PIPLUP: [COMPLAINING]

BROCK:No use. Without a landmark,

this guide is worthless.

DAWN: It's all nothingbut snow and trees.

ASH: One thing's for sure,

we've gotta find ussome shelter, and fast.

NARRATOR:The elements are fierce

as our heroes maketheir way to Snowpoint City

and Ash's seventhSinnoh Gym battle,

NARRATOR: as a blinding blizzardhas virtually frozen them

in their frigid tracks!

DAWN:So cold. Buneary, come on out!

BUNEARY: [APPEARING]

DAWN: All right! My very owncute little hot-water bottles!

ASH: That's great! I know.

BROCK, ASH, DAWN, CHIMCHAR,PIKACHU, BUNEARY: [DISAPPOINTED]

FROSLASS: [CALLING]

BROCK, ASH, DAWN, CHIMCHAR,PIKACHU, BUNEARY: [SURPRISED]

FROSLASS: [GREETING]

- ASH: Hey, what's that?- BROCK: Looks like a Froslass!

- DAWN: A Froslass?- POKEDEX: Froslass.

The Snow Land Pokémon,and an evolved form of Snorunt.

It freezes its opponents

to temperatures nearlyminus degrees.

DAWN: Freezes its opponents?

FROSLASS: [REASSURING]

BROCK, ASH, DAWN, PIKACHU,BUNEARY, PIPLUP : [SHOCKED]

FROSLASS: [FRIENDLY]

ASH: A cabin!

BROCK: Where did that come from?

DAWN: Fantastic! It's gotta beFroslass trying to help us out.

FROSLASS: [FRIENDLY]

ASH: Nice and warm.

DAWN: Froslass, thanks so much.

BROCK: You really saved us.

FROSLASS: [FRIENDLY]

ASH: Nice hot bowls of soup!

BROCK, ASH, DAWN:Thank you, Froslass!

ASH: That's good!

BROCK: Warms your bodyfrom the inside out!

DAWN: Tasty, too!

FROSLASS: [FRIENDLY]

ASH: I think Froslassmade a bath for the Pokémon!

DAWN: All right,Piplup, you can go first!

PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

PIPLUP: [CONFUSED]

ASH: What's going on?!

BROCK: It's not a cabin.It's an ice cave!

DAWN: This isn't soup.It's shaved ice!

- ASH: Dawn, you're right!- BROCK: How weird!

ASH: I'm back to freezing.

But how could we have thoughtthis place is a cabin?

BROCK: I have a feelingFroslass is behind this.

ASH: Yeah? Froslass?

BROCK: Uh-huh! It's causingus all to hallucinate!

- ASH: You're kidding!- DAWN: Why would it do that?

BROCK: Whatever the reason,

it must've needed to bringus here in the first place.

ASH:We've gotta save Piplup, quick!

All right, Chimchar,use Flamethrower!

CHIMCHAR: [FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

PIPLUP: [SCARED]

FROSLASS: [DISMISSIVE]

BROCK: An Ice Beam.

I think Froslass is warningus not to go near Piplup.

DAWN: So we just leavePiplup frozen like that?

How could youdo something so awful?

FROSLASS: [PSYCHIC MOVE]

ASH, DAWN: Meowth?

BROCK: Froslasscaptured Meowth as well?

MEOWTH: Check, please.Twerps!

So you suckers must have fallenfor Froslass's trap like us.

ASH: Whoa,what are you talking about?

MEOWTH: See, we were traipsingaround in the mountains

and got lost in that blizzard.

DAWN:That's what happened to us!

MEOWTH: Then thisFroslass led us to a cabin

where we coulddefrost and recharge.

ASH: Just like us!

MEOWTH: And while we weregetting up to room temperature,

we discovered this jointwas a Froslass-made mirage!

BROCK: Wow, I knew it!

MEOWTH: Then Froslass toldme it's been trying to find

its good buddy Snoruntfor the longest time.

But no matter how muchit looks for its buddy,

it comes up empty-handed,so I'm being held hostage

while Jessie and James gohave a look for the little guy.

DAWN: Snorunt, huh? Let's see.

POKEDEX:Snorunt. The Snow Hat Pokémon.

Snorunt is said tobring great wealth

to any home that it lives in.FROSLASS: [THREATENING]

MEOWTH: Now, Froslassis saying that

if you want thisPiplup of yours back,

you're gonna have tolook for Snorunt, too.

FROSLASS: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: No problem.You could have just told us

you were having a littlebit of trouble! Right?

DAWN: Right!

BROCK: You really didn'tneed to go through all of this!

We would have goneand looked for Snorunt anyway!

FROSLASS: [SKEPTICAL]DAWN: If we go and look now,

may I please havemy Piplup back?

FROSLASS: [DEFIANT]

MEOWTH: Okay, nowFroslass is saying that

once a human promisedto help it out,

and then turned right around

and tried to take itsbuddy-pal away by force.

MEOWTH: Needless to say,

Froslass isn't in thepeople-trusting business

these days.

ASH: I get it now.

DAWN: The thing is, not everyperson is bad like that.

PIKACHU: [SAD]CHIMCHAR: [SAD]

ASH: Wait! I've got it!Yeah!

We'll just go bring Snoruntback here, no matter what!

BROCK: So you just wait here!

DAWN: Piplup, no need to worry,'cause we'll be right back!

ASH: We'll show you you cantrust us a hundred percent,

- people or not!- BROCK: So shall we go?

ASH, DAWN: Right!

MEOWTH: Hey, if you Twerpssee Jessie and James out there,

you tell them I'mhanging in and chilling out!

MEOWTH:C'mon, somebody help me up.

I'm not an ice cubeby nature, you know!

- ASH: Hey, Snorunt!- DAWN: Snorunt, where are you?

BROCK: Hello, Snorunt?

ASH: Staravia!Any sign of Snorunt yet?

STARAVIA: [DISAPPOINTED]

ASH: All right,try looking around over there.

ASH: Thank you!Let us know what you find.

JESSIE: Wow. Searching fora Snorunt in snow's hard.

JAMES:That's one elusive Pokémon!

WOBBUFFET: [INSISTENT]

JAMES: There, where?

- JESSIE: That shape. That size!- JAMES: Snorunt in person!

JESSIE:Well. What are we waiting for?

DAWN: Did you find it?

JESSIE: What are youtalking about, Twerpette?

JAMES: Be cryptic onsomeone else's watch.

We've no time for your games!

ASH: Look,we want the same thing as you!

PIKACHU: [DEFIANT]

JESSIE: We're on a missionto find an estranged Snorunt

so we can thaw andreinstall Meowth on the double!

DAWN: We already know that!

Piplup's been captured by thatFroslass, as well as Meowth!

JAMES: So!That means you must've fallen

for Froslass's warm andcozy fireside cabin illusion,

- as we did.- BROCK: You're right.

Which means thisis no time to argue.

I suggest we all declarea temporary cease-fire

and work together so we canrescue both Piplup and Meowth.

JESSIE: Novel! A cease-fire?

JAMES: We can always be ateach other's throats later.

JAMES: Jess, the important thingright now is to defrost Meowth!

- I concur with your plan.- BROCK: It's a deal!

ASH: Yeah, I almost forgot!Meowth had a message for you!

DAWN: "If you Twerpssee Jessie and James,

I'm hanging inand chilling out!"

ASH: Sorry, Staravia! You saidSnorunt's over there, right?

STARAVIA: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: Okay, we'll go upand around to the right.

JAMES: Which leaves ourgang to pursue the left.

- DAWN: That covers everything!- JESSIE: Okay!

SNORUNT: [EFFORT]

ASH: Snorunt! Hold on!

JESSIE: Relax!Your jogging days are done!

JAMES: Covering thebases surely has its perks!

ASH: Look, Snorunt,everything's fine.

SNORUNT: [WORRIED]ASH: See,

it's not like we're tryingto catch you or anything bad.

BROCK: We want you to comehome with us and see Froslass!
