[chuckles]

Wonder which one.

Hm. There we are.

JAMES Our catch of the day.

Looks like it's catchin' forty winks.

With luck, it will keep catching them.

Finders, keepers.

[panting]

Operation take Tyrunt rocks!

- First, become its best friend. - Then make it evolve.

Into a towering Tyrantrum!

It's a dream and it's coming true.

The perfect addition to our crew.

[STARTLED]

Tyrunt, top of the morning to ya.

You see, we're your Trainers, starting right now.

Welcome aboard.

[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

No fair! You charbroiled my hair!

This is no time for revolt!

JAMES 'You're rocking the boat!'

Don't be a Pokémon dolt!

- I'm getting air sick! - I'm getting sick of you!

Get your foot out from under my shoe!

- The fickle finger of faith. - Tyrunt overboard.

[splash]

[yawning]

Water. Found it.

Ah. Huh? I'm so thirsty.

TYRUNT [PAINED]

Huh?

Ah. Oh, no.

Hang on, I'll help you.

[STRUGGLING]

[grunts]

ASH "THE TINY CARETAKER!"

[snoring]

BONNIE 'Clemont, Clemont? Hey, Clemont!'

Hm. Ah.

Alright, what's up?

[EAGER]

Ah!

[whimpering]

Clemont, what's wrong?

Ah!

[HAPPY]

- You found it in the river? - Yeah, it was stuck.

Wait, isn't that..

Tyrunt. The Royal Heir Pokémon.

'When unhappy, Tyrunt will go on an angry rampage.'

'It evolves into Tyrantrum.'

- I wonder if it's wild. - That would be really rare.

Huh? Ah.

Ah! Tyrunt?

You're wearing Tyrantrum pajamas

so it's probably curious about you.

Huh? This? Like them?

[chuckles]

Aw. Sweet.

Ah! Hm. Hey! Hmpf.

You can't do that!

[UPSET]

Don't do it again, okay?

Look, Tyrunt. Please don't cry.

Look, peek-a-boo.

Ah!

[STARTLED]

[ENTERTAINED]

Is everything better now?

[COMICAL]

[EXHILARATED]

[STUNNED]

Ah! Look out!

[UPSET]

You should be more careful.

Uh-oh. You're super dirty. I'll be right back.

Time for a brushing!

You're all clean now.

[laughing]

Feel good? I'm glad.

I'd say Tyrunt's really taken a shine to Bonnie.

Yeah.

Huh? Hungry?

Yeah, me too. So let's eat.

[EXCITED]

Ah..

[chuckles]

Is it yummy?

I think Tyrunt likes Pokémon food.

Is it good, Tyrunt?

[RAVENOUS]

Slow down, don't bite the bowl.

[chuckles]

Now, keep your mouth open.

Brushing your teeth's good for you.

That Tyrunt is so cute.

A wild Tyrunt that likes to get its teeth brushed? Wow.

Now, it's clean up time. Okay, hold still.

Hm. That's a lot of Tyrunt to clean up.

Just like a parent would. So cute!

Parent? I'm just being a Trainer, right?

[chuckles]

[DEVOTED]

[JOYOUS]

[EXCITED]

[FOCUSED]

[EAGER]/[EXERTION]

[FOCUSED]

[EAGER]

[EXCITED]

It's so fast.

[screaming]

[RAVENOUS]/[STUNNED]

That's not yours.

Don't bite it!

[CONFUSED]

You really shouldn't bite everything. It's a bad habit.

Thanks. He-he-he.

[FOCUSED]

Okay, here I come.

Oh. Oh!

[EXCITED]

Huh? Ah.

Hm.

Found you, Pikachu.

Found you, Dedenne!

Found you, Bunnelby!

Yay! I found all of you!

Huh? Ah!

I found you too. Ha-ha-ha.

[laughing]

[TENDER]

Tyrunt sure loves Bonnie's attention.

It sure does.

Huh? Ah.

[screaming]

It's not time yet. We'll do this when you get bigger.

SERENA 'Here, it's a Poké Puff.'

Say thanks like this. Thanks for the food.

[GRATEFUL]

[ENTHUSIASTIC]/[RAVENOUS]

[DELIGHTED]

Wow! I'm so glad you like it.

Yippee! Ha-ha-ha.

[JOYOUS]

So would you like to stay with me forever?

Want me to keep you?

[AGREEMENT]

Then let's do that. We'll travel together.

[STRUGGLING]

Ah. What happened?

[grunts] Are you okay?

[PAINED]

Huh? Aah!

Bonnie! What's going on?

[Team Rocket laughing]

Preparing for trouble is what's going on.

And making it double from dusk to dawn!

To protect the world from devastation.

To unite all people within our nation!

To denounce the evils of truth and love.

To net us some Pokémon from high up above!

- Jessie. - And James.

Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light.

Surrender now or prepare for a precarious fight.

Meowth, that's right!

- Team Rocket! - Help us, please!

[PANICKED]

- Let them go, now! - That would just be silly.

This Tyrunt has been with us since day one.

The others are icing on the cake.

Team Rocket's truly on the take.

- So give us a break. - But you'll get none.

[gasps]

[coughing]

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Our work is done.

[grunts]

[gasps]

- 'They're gone.' - Bonnie, no!

GROUP Who's that Pokémon?

It's Tyrantrum!

I said no! You're not gonna get Tyrunt, never ever!

Oh, please. Notice you're in a net.

And that severely limits your options.

I'm keeping Tyrunt, see?

We're best friends

and there's nothing you guys can do about it.

Stop! You have already been informed Tyrunt's ours!

[all screaming]

- Thanks, Tyrunt. Yay! - Alright, Gourgeist, go!

Inkay, let it flow.

[APPEARING]

Nuzzle, okay?

[FOCUSED]

[NOZZLE MOVE]

[PAINED]

Shadow Ball, now!

[SHADOW BALL MOVE]

[PAINED]

Ah. Dedenne!

[screaming]

Let's go, Tyrunt.

[CONFIDENT]

- The nerve. Get back here! - Such bad manners. Stop!

Bunnelby, use Dig.

[DIG MOVE]

Come on.

[grunts] Escaped again.

[grunts]

[FOCUSED]

ASH 'Talonflame!'

[STARTLED]

See anything?

TALONFLAME [DISAPPOINTED]

What about you?

[DISAPPOINTED]

Please, look again.

This time, expand your search area.

We're counting on you two.

[DETERMINED]

[thinking] Bonnie.

Let's play a trick on Team Rocket.

Bunnelby, dig a bunch of holes

just like when we were all playing before, remember?

[DETERMINED]

[DIG MOVE]

[breathing heavily]

- What? - No way.

Resistance is futile!

When they come out of those holes, scoop them up.

Ten-four.

- Ah! There! - Over there!

Over there!

[screaming]

- Why you! - How dare you!

[screaming]

- Over there. - That way.

JAMES/JESSIE No, this way.

[panting]

[PROUD]

Now's our chance to get out of here.

[DETERMINED]

- Get back here. - Impudent brat.

Hurry, hurry!

Hey, what's wrong, Tyrunt? Are you tired?

[TIRED]

[FOCUSED]

[ENCOURAGING]

Here. Have some water.

[laughing]

Me too.

Hm. That's good.

Tyrunt, your fur is a little messy. Here.

Like it? It feels good, right?

[HAPPY]

[FOCUSED]/[EXCITED]

Oh!

JESSIE 'Hi.'

Those guys just won't give up.

[panting]

Hurry, hurry.

JAMES Get back here!

This way.

Give it up.

[grunts]

That Twerpette is way too quick for her own good!

[STRUGGLING]

Come on, you can do it.

[grunting]

[STRUGGLING]

Huh? Ah.

Tyrunt.

[grunting]

[GRATEFUL]

That was a close call.

[RELIEVED]

Phew! We made it.

You climbed up really well.

We should all be safe up here.

Hah! Your little legs can only carry you so far.

Now, hand over our Tyrunt.

Tyrunt's gonna travel with me. Got it!

Stay back, okay?

[ANGRY]

Okay, Inkay, go!

[DETERMINED]

'Use Tackle.'

Bunnelby!

[WILD CHARGE MOVE]

Alright!

Gourgeist, use Leech Seed.

[LEECH SEED MOVE]

[PAINED]

Use Seed b*mb.

[SEED b*mb MOVE]

[PAINED]

Ah?

[WEAK]

JAMES 'Use Psybeam!'

[PSYBEAM MOVE]

[WEAK]

Dedenne, be strong.

- Let's go for the grab. - And go for the nab!

- Oh, no! - Move it!

[ANGRY]/[DETERMINED]

Tyrunt!

[grunts]

Stop it, now! Ah.

Let go. Let go.

- Say what? - Get rid of that punky pest.

Right away.

[both grunting]

What do you think you're doing? Aah!

[SHOCKED]

[screaming]

[DETERMINED]

You'll never sink your teeth into that super alloy.

[screaming]

[AGHAST]

[PROUD]

[gasps] Never say never.

[DETERMINED]

Ah. Did you evolve?

[DETERMINED]

[laughing]

That's not part of my script.

- It evolved into Tyrantrum. - Come on. Let's hurry.

[grunting]

- Bonnie! - Are you okay?

Hi, Clemont.

Ah! It's those Twerps.

Wow, Bonnie, is that Tyrantrum?

Yeah, it evolved.

Tyrantrum. The Despot Pokémon.

'Using its jaw, Tyrantrum can rip through thick metal.'

'In times past, it was considered unbeatable.'

- Awesome. - Tyrantrum.

Thank you for protecting Bonnie.

[GRACIOUS]

How dare you ruin our plan!

Payback time and you're going to pay.

With your Pokémon.

[screaming]

- 'You're not going anywhere.' - 'Stand still and save time.'

Tyrantrum, please help my brother and my friends.

Huh?

[DETERMINED]

[gasps]

Check it out.

It bit through it like it was nothing.

You go, Tyrantrum.

[screaming]

[DETERMINED]

Come on. Tyrantrum was ours long before the Twerps.

I guess you could say Operation Take Tyrunt turned out

to be a whole lot more take than we could chew.

From now on, let's go after something with a bit less lip.

I hate Twerps!

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

Wow, I had no idea you were so strong.

[BASHFUL]/[PLAYFUL]

[screaming]

[chuckles]

So cute. Can we keep it? Please, Clemont, please?

- Bonnie. - Why not?

Look at how close the two of them are.

The more the merrier.

[HAPPY]

Don't forget, you're taking care of Tyrantrum.

I will. I'll do everything.

Tyrantrum, you'll always be with me.

Alright then, promise to take care of it.

Huh? What happened?

- Huh? - Well, what's wrong?

- Is it broken? - 'No.'

- Huh? - I'm afraid, no.

Tyrantrum already has a Trainer.

Ah.

Huh?

[engine revving]

Tyrantrum.

- Ah-ha! - So there you are.

Who are you?

You see, we're both scientists

from the Pokémon Fossil Research Lab.

Pokémon Fossil Research Lab?

Huh? Huh.

Ah.

Of course.

I thought it was strange to see a wild Tyrunt.

That means you're the research lab's Pokémon?

[AGREEMENT]

SCIENTIST A 'I see. So that's what happened.'

You took it upon yourself to take care of Tyrantrum.

SERENA She did. Bonnie is the one who did everything.

SCIENTIST A 'Thank you so much, Bonnie.'

Let us give you a tour of the Pokémon Fossil Research Lab

as our thanks.

Yeah? That sounds like a lot of fun.

[EXCITED]

I bet there's gonna be lots of Pokémon.

Hey, Bonnie?

Let's all go to the Research Lab.

'Okay?'

- Whoa. It's huge. - Pikachu.

Yeah. So this is where you restore fossils into Pokémon?

- Yes, that's correct. - Incredible.

- Don't you think so, Bonnie? - Hm.

[PROUD]

Aerodactyl. Whoa.

[AMAZED]

Oh, wow! What a wonderful opportunity.

- Isn't it great to see them? - Hmpf.

Huh? Bonnie, look at that! It's a Kabuto.

[laughing]

I can't believe they're all real. Incredible stuff.

Check it out. You'll love what you see.

[ENCOURAGING]

And this area here is where all of our Tyrunt

and Tyrantrum live.

SERENA So they're all Tyrantrum's friends?

Right. They're all so close, they're like family.

[HAPPY]

[AFFECTIONATE]

Oh..

Now, Bonnie, I think it's time to say goodbye.

Hey, Bonnie?

[screaming]

Aah!

[JOYOUS]

[FOCUSED]

Brushing your teeth's good for you.

Feel good? I'm glad.

[sobbing]

Huh?

[AFFECTIONATE]

Now, that you're a Tyrantrum

you're way too big to act like a baby.

It's time to be a grown up.

[HAPPY]

BONNIE 'Don't cause any trouble for the scientists, okay?'

Tyrantrum really likes to be brushed

so I think I should give this to you.

Thank you, Bonnie.

We'll be sure to use it all the time.

Bye-bye. Take care, Tyrantrum.

[TENDER]

No, no. You belong here at the lab. Don't follow me.

[crying]

[WORRIED]

Oh, Bonnie.

I know. Don't worry, I know.

Bye-bye, now.

I won't forget you.

[TOUCHED]/[GRATEFUL]

NARRATOR In the world of Pokémon, there are hellos

in life and there are good-byes as well.

And so, with fond memories of Tyrunt and Tyrantrum

etched into Bonnie's heart forever

our heroes bid a fond farewell

to the Pokémon Fossil Research Lab

as their journey continues.

BONNIE Take care, Tyrantrum.

I'll come and see you again someday.

TYRANTRUM [TENDER]
