STARLY GROUP: [SCARED]

ELEKID: [FOCUSED]

PAUL: Now go, Poké Ball!

STARLY: [IMPACT] / [FRIGHTENED]

ASH: Starly, over here!

STARLY: [AFFIRMATIVE]

PAUL: I'll thank you and your Starly to stay out of my way!

ASH: I didn't know anyone was out here but us, really!

BROCK: It must've been his

Elekid that launched that electric att*ck!

ASH: Anyway, I've got a question for you.

You haven't seen a girl with a Pikachu around here, have you?

PAUL: No. You really think that Starly's good enough?

STARLY: [CONFUSED] PAUL: I watched you catch it.

Don't you think you'd be a lot better off

catching the best one you can?

ASH: You can tell which one's the strongest.

PAUL: Of course! Look

STARLY GROUP: [APPEARING]

ASH: You've got three of them?

PAUL: You must know you can scan the Pokémon you catch with your

Pokédex to check out what moves they can use.

And that's just what I do!

PAUL: I figure if you do that from the beginning,

it saves you a whole bunch of grief in the long run.

PAUL: Okay, let's check out: Aerial Ace.

And the big winner is

PAUL: Take a hike. I don't need you!

STARLY GROUP: [RELIEVED]

ASH: That's sure a weird way to treat Pokémon

PAUL: Hey, the only att*cks those two knew were

Tackle and Sand att*ck, so they wouldn't be much use anyway!

ASH: Know what I think?

Any Pokémon can be strong if you train them!

ASH: What're you laughing at?

PAUL: You'll find out. So, wanna battle?

ASH: Sure! Let's do it!

PAUL: We'll use three Pokémon.

PAUL: Three-on-three is the best way to see what type of Pokémon

a Trainer's good at working with,

and what kind of balance they've got!

ASH: I know, but I've only got two

AIPOM: [EMBARRASSED] STARLY: [EMBARRASSED]

PAUL: You've gotta be kidding!

Talk about pathetic.Elekid, let's get going!

ELEKID: [AGREEING]

ASH: Man, I wish Pikachu was here!

BROCK: Ash, did you hear that, too?

ASH: That's a Volt Tackle!

PAUL: That's a Volt Tackle, huh?

PIKACHU: [VOLT TACKLE MOVE]

MEOWTH: Wow, that zap kinda tickled a little bit!

JESSIE: But that's as far as you're going to get with this

new toy of ours!

JAMES: Get a load of our new Super Sinnoh Slinger Mark A!

Not only able to withstand and deflect any att*ck you can

fling our way, but being solar-powered,

it fights global warming and makes us lunch!

WOBBUFFET: [PROUD] PIKACHU: [ANGRY]

DAWN: Hold on! Why do you want Pikachu so bad?

JESSIE: When it comes to pinching powerful Pokémon,

that Pikachu is the proverbial piéce de resistance!

MEOWTH: We've been in Pika-pursuit since

you've been alive!

JAMES: And not one of you or your pathetic preteen

Twerpytypes are going to drive a wedge

between Team Rocket and our potential posse of Pokémon pros!

WOBBUFFET: [DETERMINED] MIME JR.: [DETERMINED]

MEOWTH: We win hands down!

MEOWTH: How's this grab you?

DAWN: Piplup! Quick, use Bubble Beam!

PIPLUP: [BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

PIKACHU: [UPSET]

DAWN, PIPLUP: [SHOCKED] PIKACHU: [PAINED]

MEOWTH: Three points!

JESSIE: And Team Rocket wins it!

JAMES: With a Pikachu pass play!

PIKACHU: [CALLING]

PIPLUP: [BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

JAMES: Except for the entertainment factor,

you're wasting water! PIPLUP: [ANGRY]

DAWN: Piplup, wait!

JESSIE: Oh, please! Just like a Twerp!

PIPLUP: [att*ck] PIPLUP: [PAINED]

DAWN: Piplup!

PIPLUP: [WEAK]

DAWN: Piplup, stop!

MEOWTH: Heh heh heh heh! A wimp with wings!

PIPLUP: [INDIGNANT]

JESSIE: I think it's time for some flying lessons!

JESSIE: Now hold still while I prepare to introduce you

Twerp travelers to the moon!

ASH: Aipom, Swift, and Starly, Whirlwind!

DAWN, PIPLUP: [SURPRISED] AIPOM: [SWIFT MOVE]

STARLY: [WHIRLWIND MOVE]

ASH: Pikachu!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED] DAWN, PIPLUP: [SHOCKED]

JESSIE, JAMES: It's the old Twerp!

JESSIE: I know what he wants!

MEOWTH: We need to tell him Pikachu's under new management!

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

BROCK: Ash! AIPOM: [WORRIED]

STARLY: [WORRIED] ASH: Oh no you don't!

BROCK: Ash, don't do anything crazy!

ASH: They got Pikachu! PIKACHU: [CALLING]

JESSIE: There's no doubt about it.

Helpless Twerps are my favorite Twerps!

JAMES: Then that must mean we win!

MEOWTH: Time for Team Rocket success!

JESSIE, JAMES: Alert the press!

JESSIE: This is your lucky day after all!

JAMES: You get to witness the brilliance of the

new Team Rocket motto!

ASH: Do we have to?

JESSIE: Listen! Is that a voice I hear?

JAMES: It's speaking to me loud and clear!

JESSIE: Floating on the wind.

- JAMES: Past the stars. - MEOWTH: in your ear!

JESSIE: Bringing chaos at a breakneck pace!

JAMES: Dashing hope, putting fear in its place!

JESSIE: A rose by any other name's just as sweet.

JAMES: When everything's worse, our work is complete!

- JESSIE: Jessie! - JAMES: And it's James!

MEOWTH: Meowth! Now that's a name!

JESSIE: Putting the do-gooders in their place.

- JAMES: Team Rocket! - MEOWTH: We're in your face!

WOBBUFFET: [PROUD] MIME JR.: [PROUD]

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: TA-DA!

ASH: Oh, man!

MEOWTH: Well, we left them speechless again

JAMES: Encore time!

ASH: I'm coming, Pikachu!

PIKACHU: [SCARED]

MEOWTH: Aww, he's got that look in his eyes!

JAMES: Oh? Well, look at these!

ASH: Pikachu! PIKACHU: [CALLING]

ASH: Don't worry. You're safe with me now, buddy!

PIKACHU: [ANXIOUS]

BROCK: Ash, hurry, I think it's gonna blow!

MEOWTH, : We're not as thick-skinned as I thought!

- JESSIE: One thing's for sure. - JAMES: We're thick-headed!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

BROCK: Get down!

PIPLUP, AIPOM, STARLY: [SCARED]

JESSIE: You tell me. What kind of encore is this?

JAMES: Yeah, weren't we supposed to leave our

audience wanting more?

MEOWTH: You go tell that to the writers!

WOBBUFFET: [ANGRY]

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: We're blasting off again!

- BROCK: Pikachu! Hey, Ash! - DAWN: Pikachu?

PIPLUP: [WORRIED]

PIKACHU: [STRUGGLING]

ASH, PIKACHU: [THRILLED]

ASH: Pikachu! You're okay!

AIPOM: [RELIEVED] PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

ASH: Right, you haven't met yet! I want you to meet Starly,

who's my very first Pokémon buddy from Sinnoh,

and who helped me find you!

STARLY: [GREETING] PIKACHU: [GRATEFUL]

DAWN: Pikachu, we did it! PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

ASH: You saved my Pikachu! Thanks so much.

My name's Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town,

and it's really great to meet you!

BROCK: Hi! I'm Brock!

DAWN: Hi, guys! My name is Dawn. And this is my partner, Piplup!

PIPLUP: [GREETING] ASH: So that's a Piplup, huh...

POKEDEX: Piplup. The Penguin Pokémon.

It's very proud, and its thick down protects it from the cold.

ASH: I sure hope your Piplup's okay after that.

DAWN: Thanks, but Piplup's fine! You tell him, Piplup!

ASH: Wow, you're a tough Pokémon!

PIPLUP: [PROUD] / [WEAK]

DAWN: Piplup, no!

BROCK: Obviously something's wrong big-time!

I'll do everything I can to help.

BROCK: It's important for any Trainer to always know the

condition of their Pokémon!

DAWN: I'm sorry, Piplup! PIPLUP: [REASSURING]

BROCK: Now, let's have a look at Pikachu!

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

ASH: Hey, thanks, Brock, you're the best!

PROFESSOR ROWAN:Well, that's excellent!

I can't tell you how happy I am for you.

Everything worked out just perfectly!

DAWN: Thanks, Professor!

PROFESSOR ROWAN:Of course! By the way, Ash,

I just received a package for you from your mother.

ASH, PAUL: From my mom?

DAWN: Wow, Brock, that's so cool you're a breeder!

I know this has got to be the first time I've met a

real Pokémon breeder ever!

BROCK: Really? Well, as soon as we get back to the lab,

I'll make some special Pokémon food

that's perfect for Water types! PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

DAWN: You're a lucky Pokémon, Piplup!

- JENNY: I heard the news! - ASH: Hey, Jenny!

JENNY: That's so great. How's Pikachu?

ASH: Fine! Thanks again for your help!

BROCK: And your beauty!

BROCK: Your thoughtfulness knows no bounds!

Thanks for helping my friend Ash in his hour of need!

JENNY: Sure... PIPLUP: [CONFUSED]

BROCK: And now, I'm asking you to help me out

in my hour of need! Because I need YOU!

DAWN: Ash, what's wrong with Brock?

ASH: Nothing not for him, anyway

PIKACHU: [RESIGNED]

ASH: Wow! Check out the new clothes!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

BROCK: She even put a new backpack in there, too!

DELIA: I'm thrilled! Such a handsome young man

ASH:That's really nice of you, Mom!

DELIA: I wanted to give them to you while you were here.

DELIA:But you flew out of the house in such a rush!

ASH:Sorry about that,Mom.

But everything's going just great

here in the Sinnoh region,

and I can't tell you how psyched I am!

DELIA:Well, I can see that!

You did call Professor Oak and tell him Pikachu's safe, right?

ASH, PIKACHU: [SHOCKED]

PROFESSOR OAK:I appreciate you letting me know

-the good news, young man!- ASH: And this is Dawn!

She saved Pikachu. And this is Professor Oak.

DAWN: It's a real honor to meet you, sir!

PROFESSOR OAK: Well, it's a pleasure to meet you!

A brand-new Trainer

DAWN: Right! I hope you don't mind.

You love Pokémon poetry, don't you?

- ASH, BROCK: [SURPRISED] - PROFESSOR OAK: Yes! I do!

DAWN: Awesome! Does that mean you know all the Pokémon poets?

ASH: You don't get it! He's a real professor,

just like Professor Rowan!

DAWN: But how come I always seem him on TV reading poems?

ASH: How come? Well...

PROF ROWAN: Say, perhaps the good professor and I should have

a little discussion

PROF OAK:Well, well! Professor!

Say, Ash, may I speak with him for a moment?

ASH: Sure!

PROFESSOR ROWAN: Perhaps you could spend a little less time

reading Pokémon poetry on TV and more time doing your

Pokémon research, eh, Samuel?

PROFESSOR OAK: Right! I'll do that!

BROCK: Those two must go way back!

ASH: Guess so!

DAWN: So, what are you two doing here, anyway?

ASH: Well, I came here so I could compete in the

Sinnoh League and win!

BROCK: Okay, it looks like the closest Gym to Sandgem Town

is in Oreburgh City. Jubilife City's right on the way!

DAWN: That's awesome n I go, too?

DAWN: I want to be the number one contest Coordinator!

And the first contest I wanna compete in is in Jubilife City!

ASH: That's great! Come along!

When it comes to traveling, the more the merrier, I say!

- PIKACHU: [AGREEING] - ASH: Brock, what do you think?

BROCK: Of course! It'd be a lot of fun!

AIPOM, STARLY, PIPLUP: [HAPPY]

ASH: It looks like everybody agrees!

DAWN: And I'll get to spend some more time with Pikachu!

PIKACHU: [AGREEING]

ASH: Okay, we're all set. Let's go!

DAWN: Hold on. Aren't you going

to put Pikachu in a Poké Ball, too?

ASH: Nah. Pikachu hates traveling that way when my

shoulder's much more fun! PIKACHU: [AGREEING]

DAWN: Wow, that's amazing! PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

PROFESSOR ROWAN: You'll learn that there are as many

different Pokémon personalities as there are Pokémon!

ASH: We've gotta get going now,

but thanks for everything you've done for us, Professor!

PROFESSOR ROWAN: Of course!

PROFESSOR ROWAN: Yes? Who are you?

PAUL: The name's Paul. And from the looks of things,

you must be Professor Rowan...

- PAUL: I'm waiting for him! - ASH: For me?

PAUL: You've got three Pokémon now. Wanna battle?

PIKACHU: [NERVOUS]

ASH: Sure! I'm ready! I'm gonna be a Pokémon Master and

the way to do that is to b*at challengers like you!

PIKACHU: [FOCUSED]

PROFESSOR ROWAN: Then off to my back garden!

- BROCK: I'll be the referee. - DAWN: This is great!

I've never seen a real Pokémon battle before.

ASH: Well, you're seeing one now! So hold on to your hat!

ASH: What's so funny, Paul?

PAUL: Just that you talk like such a little kid.

ASH: Oh yeah?

PAUL: Yeah! Okay, like I said before, this is gonna be

a three-on-three battle with no substitutions, and the one with

two wins first is the winner. Got it?

ASH: I got it! Starly! I choose you!

ASH'S STARLY: [APPEARING]

PAUL: Now, Starly, stand by. I choose you!

PAUL'S STARLY: [APPEARING] STARLY X : [FOCUSED]

PAUL: Okay, Ash, I'll let you go first!

ASH: Right! Starly, use Quick att*ck!

ASH'S STARLY: [QUICK att*ck MOVE]

PAUL'S STARLY: [HIT]

DAWN: It's a hit!

PROFESSOR ROWAN: True, but it doesn't look like it

did much damage.

PROFESSOR ROWAN: I think Paul is just

testing Ash's Starly's att*ck power!

PAUL: Starly, Aerial Ace!

PAUL'S STARLY: [AERIAL ACE MOVE]

ASH'S STARLY: [IMPACT]

ASH'S STARLY: [FOCUSED]

ASH: Starly, Wing att*ck, go!

ASH'S STARLY: [WING att*ck MOVE]

PAUL: Quick, Double Team!

PAUL'S STARLY: [DOUBLE TEAM MOVE]

ASH'S STARLY: [SHOCKED] PAUL'S STARLY: [FOCUSED]

ASH: The real one's in the back! Dodge it now!

PAUL: Aerial Ace!

ASH'S STARLY: [IMPACT] ASH'S STARLY: [STUNNED]

BROCK: Ash's Starly is unable to battle!

Paul's Starly is the winner!

ASH: Starly, return, now! You were great, Starly!

PAUL: I think I figured out your battle style. You cover up your

weak att*cks by pushing. And when you combine that with a

lame-o strategy like yours, I can't help but feel sorry for

any Pokémon who gets stuck with a lousy Trainer like you!

PAUL: That's all you've got?!

ASH: Now, Aipom! You're up next!

AIPOM: [APPEARING]

PAUL: Stand by, Chimchar!

CHIMCHAR: [APPEARING] ASH: A Chimchar!

ASH'S POKEDEX: Chimchar. The Monkey Pokémon.

Chimchar easily climbs the sheerest of walls and lives

on mountaintops. When it sleeps, its flames go out.

PAUL: Isn't that nice you got your Chimchar lesson for today!

ASH: NowSwift, Aipom!

AIPOM: [SWIFT MOVE] PAUL: Ember!

CHIMCHAR: [EMBER MOVE]

ASH: Focus Punch, go!

AIPOM: [FOCUS PUNCH MOVE] PAUL: Use Flame Wheel!

CHIMCHAR: [FLAME WHEEL MOVE]

AIPOM: [IMPACT]

DAWN: That Focus Punch disappeared!

PROFESSOR ROWAN: Yes. If a Pokémon is using Focus Punch

and gets att*cked before it's complete,

the att*ck can't be finished!

PAUL: Not a good choice of att*cks, Ash. Chimchar, go!

CHIMCHAR: [FOCUSED] ASH: Double Team, Aipom!

AIPOM: [DOUBLE TEAM MOVE]

PAUL: Ember!

CHIMCHAR: [EMBER MOVE]

- ASH: Uh-oh! - PAUL: Now use Scratch!

CHIMCHAR: [SCRATCH MOVE] ASH: Focus Punch again, Aipom!

AIPOM: [FOCUS PUNCH MOVE] PAUL: Chimchar, use Flame Wheel!

CHIMCHAR: [FLAME WHEEL MOVE]

ASH: Just wait that's it.

- PAUL: What's he up to? - ASH: Now, jump and then dodge!

ASH: HIT IT!

AIPOM: [EFFORT]

CHIMCHAR: [IMPACT]

AIPOM: [PROUD]

CHIMCHAR: [STUNNED]

BROCK: Chimchar's unable to battle! Aipom's the winner!

- DAWN: All right! - PAUL: Okay, Chimchar, return!

PAUL: You're still just as useless as can be!

ASH, , PAUL: Aipom, return! You were awesome!

It looks like it's one-on-one!

ASH: Pikachuit's you and me. Ready?

PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE] PIKACHU: [DETERMINED]

PAUL: Okay Stand by, Elekid! ELEKID: [APPEARING]

DAWN: Elekid! How cool!

DAWN'S POKEDEX: Elekid. The Electric Pokémon.

Elekid waves its arms to produce a strong electrical charge and

gains strength when lightning is present.

PAUL: Is Pikachu the one who does Volt Tackle?

- ASH: Yeah. So what? - PAUL: Sonothing!

ASH: All right, Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE] ELEKID: [CALM]

DAWN: It doesn't look like it did a thing!

PROFESSOR ROWAN: True. Electric-type Pokémon don't

sustain much if any damage when att*cked by a

- move of the same type, my dear - PAUL: Thunder, go!

ELEKID: [THUNDER MOVE] PIKACHU: [PAINED]

DAWN: Whoa! Elekid sure is powerful!

PIKACHU: [STRUGGLING] ASH: Pikachu! Are you okay?

PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

PAUL: Of course, there's a reason I let you go first.

ASH: What? PIKACHU: [ANNOYED]

PAUL: Because I'm smart! Elekid and I used the energy

from yourPikachu's Thunderbolt to supercharge our Thunder!

ASH: We'll see how smart you are! Volt Tackle!

PIKACHU: [VOLT TACKLE MOVE] PAUL: Elekid, Protect!

ELEKID: [PROTECT MOVE]

PIKACHU: [SHOCKED]

PIKACHU: [IMPACT]

DAWN: How did that happen?

PROFESSOR ROWAN: Well, Volt Tackle can cause damage to

the one being att*cked and the one attacking. And by using

protect to avoid all its damage that was very clever!

PAUL: Are we done yet? ELEKID: [SMUG]

PIKACHU: [STRUGGLING] ASH: Pikachu, how do you feel?

PIKACHU: [DETERMINED] PAUL: Give up!

ASH: No way! Are you kidding? Iron Tail!

PIKACHU: [FOCUSED]

PAUL: Use Brick Break!

ELEKID: [BRICK BREAK MOVE]

PIKACHU: [FOCUSED] ELEKID: [FOCUSED]

PAUL: I hate to bring bad newsyour Pikachu seems to be

all turned around, but Elekid's got a free arm

PAUL: Thunder Punch, NOW!

ASH: Not so fastIron Tail's still on the way!

ELEKID: [FOCUSED]

PIKACHU: [IRON TAIL MOVE]

ELEKID: [IMPACT] ASH: Yeah, Pikachu!

ELEKID: [FOCUSED]

PAUL: Come on! Brick Break again!

ELEKID: [BRICK BREAK MOVE]

PIKACHU: [IMPACT] ASH: Pikachu!

PIKACHU: [STRUGGLING]

ELEKID, PIKACHU: [DETERMINED]

BROCK: We have a tie! Both sides are unable to battle!

DAWN: Wow... Guess that means they're equally strong!

PAUL: All right, Elekid, return!

ASH: Pikachu...

BROCK: That sure looked like a draw to me.

ASH: Well, not me. Pikachu was the first to go down.

We lost. Isn't that right?

PAUL: It was called as a tie. A tie it is.

STARLY: [RELIEVED]

ASH: What'd you do that for?

PAUL: There's a million Starly as strong as that one.

PAUL: Soon as I run across a stronger one, I'll just grab it!

ASH: You'll just what?!

PAUL: Professor! Thanks for the use of the field.

I appreciate it.

ASH: Come on, wait! Let's battle again, Paul!

ASH: Thanks a lot!

PIKACHU: [STRUGGLING] / [ANGRY]

NARRATOR: And so, Ash squares off against a most

unusual rival, his opposite in many ways. But one thing's

for sure: now having joined forces with Brock and Dawn,

Ash's Sinnoh adventures are just beginning!
