Ya See We Want An Evolution!

JESSIE: Enough already.

MEOWTH: Sinnoh's been a big fat bust.

JAMES: Oh, for a bit of delightful diversion.

MAGIKARP: [GROANS]

MAGIKARP SALESMAN: You can't find a finer Magikarp.

Now isn't that amazing?

MAGIKARP SALESMAN: Order now and I'll throw

in three special gifts: this handsome small bowl set,

this smaller bowl set,

and this porcelain light fixture and eggcup!

JAMES: You're none other than that malevolent Magikarp

salesman, and we won't be fooled again!

MAGIKARP SALESMAN: Of course not! Want a Feebas?

JESSIE: What we want is our money back!

JAMES: We're into you for a small fortune!

MEOWTH: Or more!

MAGIKARP SALESMAN: Say! I know you!

I just love dealing with repeat customers! And are you in luck!

MAGIKARP SALESMAN: How would you like to get in on the ground

- floor of the next big thing? - JAMES: What might that be?

MAGIKARP SALESMAN: Take a look!

MEOWTH: Cardboard?

MAGIKARP SALESMAN: It's what's inside this cardboard:

The Poké-Evolution Machine One!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: A Pokémon Evolution Machine?

JAMES: Are you pulling our proverbial legs?

MAGIKARP SALESMAN: No peeking!

This is the result of years of top-secretwork!

Do you realize the power of having a billion-dollar

corporation backing you up?

Hundreds of famous Pokémon scientists

have been doing ground-breaking research and this is

the end result! The cutting-est of cutting edge

technology now brings you the contents of this cardboard case!

SCIENTIST: The wave of the evolutionary future!

MAGIKARP SALESMAN: Yes, the Poké-Evolution Machine One was

completed, but alas.

The company was forced into bankruptcy.

MAGIKARP SALESMAN: But I gave the workers the rights to build

these miracle machines, and they in turn gave me everything I

needed to build one for myself.

MAGIKARP SALESMAN: And that's just what we have in here!

MAGIKARP SALESMAN: The gift from a grateful workforce to me,

their savior.

Of course it comes with the case, candy, and

what they call in the evolution business, the brain of

the miracle machine!

JESSIE: But how easy can it be to make one of those things?

MAGIKARP SALESMAN: If you can read simple directions and do

everything they tell you to, even an Aipom can build it!

Think people, think! With this baby, you can

cause any Pokémon to evolve wherever you want and whenever

you want, guaranteed, or your money back!

- JESSIE: My money back? - JAMES, MEOWTH: That's honesty!

MAGIKARP SALESMAN: What would you expect to pay for the

instruction manual and brain, handsomely bound with this

rubber band?! More than you think!

JAMES: Wow! This is like one of those science kits

I had as a child!

MAGIKARP SALESMAN: And, after our previous transaction,

- I'll sell it to you wholesale! - JAMES: I'll take it!

MAGIKARP SALESMAN: And sold!

JAMES: A pleasure doing business!

MAGIKARP SALESMAN: You don't know the half of it! Uh oh,

I forgot! There's one tiny little detail! Don't use the

machine until a week after you've built it!

MEOWTH: A whole week?

MAGIKARP SALESMAN: Machines like that need time to warm up!

- JAMES: Right! - MAGIKARP SALESMAN: Right!

MAGIKARP SALESMAN: Yahoo!

JAMES: We've got our diversion!

MEOWTH: And a way to make a big fat buck!

JESSIE: What luck!

NARRATOR: As our heroes continue to make their waytoward

the Eterna City Gym, the Gym's location has brought them

- back through Jubilife City. - INTERVIEWER: Excuse me!

We're from Jubilife's Sinnoh Today show and

want to know if you used anything mechanical to evolve

- that Pikachu of yours. - ASH: I wouldn't do that.

INTERVIEWER: So, then you must be from the

B-Button League right?

DAWN: What's the B-Button League anyway?

INTERVIEWER: You've never heard of the league? It's a group of

Coordinators in Jubilife City that compete for the Top

Coordinator spot without evolving their Pokémon!

ASH, DAWN, BROCK: Without evolving?

INTERVIEWER: You really haven't heard of them!

Their leaders are well known for having the strongest Magikarp

- and the loveliest Feebas! - DAWN: Wow!

ASH: The strongest Magikarp, huh? Sounds awesome!

BROCK: I'd love to see. PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

ASH: Do you think you could tell us where we can find

the Button League?

This's it!

Anyone here?

- ORALIE: Hi! - HALEY: And welcome!

DAWN: So is this the B-Button League headquarters?

ORALIE: It sure is. Would you like to join?

BROCK: Oh yeah!

ASH: Actually, first we'd like to see what you guys do here!

HALEY: No problem. My name's Haley, and I'm the B-Button

League leader!

ORALIE: I'm her sister, Oralie!

- ASH: I'm Ash! - DAWN: I'm Dawn!

BROCK: And I'm Brock! I know what the B stands for!

With your looks, sweetheart, and yours, the only B word

I can think of that's worthy of you two is beauty!

BROCK: Just imagine spending every day together hand-in-hand

and working tirelessly for the B-Button League

and standing tall. Or standing small!

CROAGUNK: [LAUGHING]

ASH: I heard the B-Button League had the

strongest Magikarp!

DAWN: And the loveliest Feebas, too!

HALEY: Have a look!

BROCK, ASH, DAWN, PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

ORALIE: This is my Magikarp...

FEEBAS: [BOASTING]

HALEY: ...and this is my Feebas!

ASH: Wow! They weren't kidding!

DAWN: Those two are awesome!

POKEDEX: Magikarp. The Fish Pokémon.

Magikarp can live inthe dirtiest of water.

It jumps very well, and can evolve into Gyarados.

POKEDEX: Feebas. The Fish Pokémon.

Although extremely ragged, it is a tough Pokémon

that can live in almost any kind of water.

Its evolved form is Milotic.

HALEY: The B-Button League believes there's more to a

Pokémon than just evolving.

BROCK: I completely agree with that, one hundred percent!

ORALIE: So, without evolving them,

members of the B-Button League

concentrate on strengthening their Pokémon.

HALEY: And beautifying them!

DAWN: I think it's kind of a neat idea!

BROCK: Of course, when a Pokémon evolves, it naturally becomes

stronger and learns new moves.

ORALIE: The thing is.I love Magikarp!

HALEY: And I love my Feebas!

ORALIE: I don't want my Magikarp to change!

HALEY: We want to teach our Pokémon beautiful new moves

without evolving!

ASH: Yeah, I want Pikachu to get stronger and not change!

HALEY: Well if that's the case,

the B-Button League was made for you!

BROCK: guess evolution does have its good and bad points.

The world of Pokémon is pretty complex!

DAWN: Sure is.

eird. It looks like a normal Magikarp to me.

ASH: You can't judge a Pokémon by its cover!

Hey, it'd be awesome if you'd have a battle with me

and my Pikachu!

I'd really like to check out your Magikarp.

- ORALIE: Of course! - DAWN: Hey, hold on!

DAWN: I'd love it if you'd go and give Piplup a sh*t!

Yeah, you see I've wanted to check out how Piplup battles

in the water for such a long time!

ASH: Hey, I'd like to see Piplup in water too, but against that

Magikarp? I'm not sure.

DAWN: Well, I'm sure, and that's that! Now, Piplup, let's go!

PIPLUP: [APPEARING]

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Hold it right there!

- JESSIE: Thanks for holding! - JAMES: May we help you?

- HALEY: Who are you people? - JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Voila!

JESSIE: We decided to take the B-Button League a Sinnoh

step further and organize the C-Button League!

HALEY: How nice.

JESSIE: Aren't we? Not only nice but perceptive!

Like knowing the B in your name stands for victory.

JAMES: Have you forgotten victory is spelled with a V?

JESSIE: So it does! Perhaps, the B stands for Bulbasaur,

or blackmail, or big blabbermouth.

- JAMES: Or beautiful? - JESSIE: Bingo!

So you're the leaders of the Beautiful Button League right?

ORALIE: Why, yes. That's right!

HALEY: So, what does the C in C-Button stand for?

JESSIE: Uh... I hate being put on the spot! Seaside Slackers!

No, She-Sells-Seashells-by-the-Sea-

by-the-Sea-by-the-Seashore League!

JAMES: Quit while you're ahead. C is for crystal!

- Crystal-Button! - ORALIE: Wow!

JESSIE: We'd really like to do an expose on you B-Buttoners.

So if you wouldn't mind, we're here to dig deep and do a

little research!

MEOWTH: I'd like to take some pics. Is that cool?

ORALIE: Of course! We were just about to begin a battle between

Dawn's Piplup and the world's most powerful Magikarp!

JAMES: Say! Sounds like a party to me!

DAWN: Okay, Piplup, go!

PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

ORALIE: Now, Magikarp, are you ready?

ASH: Do it, Dawn! Good luck!

JESSIE: We'll sit tight and bide our time.

JAMES: Then we pluck Pikachu and give our Pokémon Evolution

Machine a spin!

MEOWTH: That yellow yahoo won't know what hit it!

DAWN: Now Piplup, let's start it out with Peck!

PIPLUP: [PECK MOVE]

DAWN: Wow, Piplup's fast in the water too!

ASH: All right! PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

DAWN: Do it! PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

ORALIE: Magikarp, dodge it!

MAGIKARP: [AGREEMENT] MAGIKARP: [EXERTION]

ASH : Oh man!

BROCK: Whoa! That was a powerful jump!

DAWN: Piplup, Bubble Beam!

PIPLUP: [BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

ORALIE: Dodge it, Magikarp!

ORALIE: Tackle, now! MAGIKARP: [AGREEMENT]

MAGIKARP: [TACKLE MOVE]

PIPLUP: [PANIC] PIPLUP: [GRUNT]

PIPLUP: [YELP]

PIPLUP: [WHIMPER]

DAWN: No! You okay?

PIPLUP: [WHIMPER]

ASH: That Tackle of Magikarp's was just too strong!

BROCK: Guess it really is the strongest!

JAMES: That Magikarp's got moxie to spare!

- JESSIE: True. What style! - MEOWTH: What flair!

ASH: Now! I want a cr*ck at that! Pikachu what do you say?

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

ORALIE: Okay, Ash, whenever you're ready!

DAWN: Well, powerful or not, Magikarp has to be weak against

- Electric att*cks! - BROCK: Probably.

ASH: Okay Pikachu, Thunderbolt, go!

PIKACHU: [ENERGIZED]

ORALIE: Magikarp, dodge it now! MAGIKARP: [EXERTION]

JAMES: A quadruple somersault flip!

MEOWTH: Talk about a gold-medal move!

JESSIE: That Pokémon's probably got a pool full of gold medals!

- ORALIE: Use Tackle, Magikarp! - ASH: Pikachu, dodge it!

PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

MAGIKARP: [att*ck] PIKACHU: [GRUNT]

ASH: You okay Pikachu?

PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

JESSIE: James, a Magikarp evolves into a Gyarados, right?

- JAMES: Right. - JESSIE: Wow!

Think of the giga-Gyarados this Magikarp would be!

JESSIE: That baby would strike sheer fear, far and near!

JESSIE: What do you think of whipping out our Poké-Evolution

Machine One and using it on Magikarp for a test run?

JAMES: Sounds like fun!

MEOWTH: Drive it around the block before we blast Pikachu!

Yeah, kick the tires.

ASH: Pikachu! Use Quick att*ck!

ORALIE: Now Magikarp, Tackle, again!

MAGIKARP: [TACKLE MOVE]

ASH: Pikachu, Iron Tail! PIKACHU: [IRON TAIL MOVE]

PIKACHU: [YELLING]

PIKACHU: [SCARED] MAGIKARP: [YELP]

- ASH: Oh no, Pikachu! - ORALIE: You okay, Magikarp?

PIKACHU: [WEAK EXHALE]

MAGIKARP: [DAZED]

HALEY: They both look exhausted! Whoa!

ASH: Man, Oralie's Magikarp is one tough Pokémon!

DAWN: Brock, when you said you weren't sure whose att*cks would

be the strongest, you were right! Brock?

BROCK: My dear, your Magikarp is beyond words!

BROCK: But still, I must be completely honest and confess

that it's your beauty that gives me a jolt the likes of which

I've never felt! CROAGUNK: [GRUNT]

BROCK: Almost! CROAGUNK: [CHUCKLING]

JESSIE: Attention please!

We've decided in our infinite wisdom to put your

Magikarp onour expose's front page!

JESSIE: D-Button members will be thrilled!

- JAMES: C-Button! - JESSIE: Oops!

In the midst of my effervescent excitement,

I've gotten one letter of myself. So...

- ...we'll just set up our sh*t. - JAMES: We won't be a second!

ORALIE: Sure!

HALEY: I really wanted you to see my Feebas in action, too!

ASH: Well after seeing that Magikarp.

DAWN: I'm sure your Feebas is just as awesome!

HALEY: But first, how does a little lunch sound?

BROCK, DAWN, ASH : Great! We're ready when you are!

ORALIE: Perfect! And the C-Button League? Oh dear!

- ORALIE: That's our Pokémon! - ASH: What're you doing?

JESSIE: Now is that a Twerp voice that I hear?

JAMES: That last was loud and clear!

- JESSIE: 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, then our work is complete!

- JESSIE: Jessie! - JAMES: And James!

MEOWTH: Meowth, now that's a name!

JESSIE: Putting the do-gooders in their place.

JAMES: We're Team Rocket!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: And we're in your face!

ORALIE: Now it's the R-Button?

JESSIE: Please! R's for Team Rocket! Get with it!

And we'll make better use of your Pokémon than you

- yo-yos could. - ASH: They don't belong to you!

ORALIE: I want Magikarp back now!

HALEY: I want Feebas too!

BROCK: I'll get your Pokémon back for you two

if I have touse every ounce of strength I possess!

BROCK: Which isn't much!

DAWN: You're usually right,

but this time you might've gone a bit too far.

CROAGUNK: [SHOCKED]

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: 'Twas fun! Got to run!

ASH, HALEY, ORALIE, DAWN: Come back here, you thieves!

ASH, ORALIE, DAWN, HALEY, BROCK: You won't get away with this!

ASH: Okay, Staravia, you go and get them!

STARAVIA: [EXCITED]

STARAVIA: [att*ck]

ASH: Team Rocket's balloon couldn't have gotten very far.

ASH: It's Staravia! STARAVIA: [EXPLAINING]

ASH: Let's go! PIKACHU: [SMALL SIGH]

ASH: They're in there! All right, Team Rocket!

JESSIE: You're just in time to witness something

totally evolutionary!

JAMES: Presenting our power-packed Poké-Evolution

- Machine one! - MEOWTH: And guess what!

The batteries are included, and we're smoking!

HALEY: Feebas!

ORALIE: What're you planning on doing to my Magikarp?!

JAMES: With this sweet baby forcing your babies to evolve,

we're simply making them an offer they can't refuse!

- ORALIE: You can't do that! - HALEY: Stop it!

BROCK: All right! You give both Feebas and Magikarp

back to them or else!

JESSIE: An ultimatum! You Twerpazoids are clueless!

Don't you realize these top-shelf Pokémon would be a lot

topper shelf if they evolved into Gyarados and Milotic!

- JAMES: Of course you don't! - HALEY: You can't!

ORALIE: All our work making them strong without them

evolvingwill have been a complete waste!

HALEY: We like our Pokémon exactly the way they

are right now!

JESSIE: Which is exactly why we just love doing what we do!

It's evolution time. Rock and Roll!

ASH: Pikachu, Thunderbolt, now! PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

ASH: Pikachu!

JAMES: We figured some insulation was a

good investment.

JESSIE: Of course, that's history when we evolve Pikachu!

- So stay tuned. - ASH: Why you.

JESSIE: Now that you're a c*ptive audience why not sit

back, relax, and watch our machine make some of its mojo

magic! The future is here, now!

JAMES: Here comes Gyarados and how!

- ORALIE: Please stop! - MEOWTH: Please no!

MAGIKARP: [PANICKED CRY]

JESSIE: Now.Gyarados!

MAGIKARP: [WEAK GRUNTS]

JAMES: Strange... I've been reading schematics for years!

MEOWTH: I think you're supposed to know how to read words first.

JESSIE: Wait! Once more! MAGIKARP: [HELPLESS CRY]

- ORALIE: Magikarp, no! - JESSIE: Now.Gyarados!

MAGIKARP: [CONFUSED]

JAMES: Very strange.

MEOWTH: It's not out of the question that the batteries

theyincluded sat in the box for too long.

JAMES: But wait! We could employ our imprisoned Pika-power!

JESSIE: And then, we'll simply switch things around and ratchet

- our Raichu on up first! - ASH: No you don't!

JESSIE: You're about to experience firsthand how change

is good for the soul!

JAMES: It's the old Pikachu to Raichu switcheroo!

MEOWTH: Hey, we're cooking now!

ASH: Pikachu, no!

JESSIE: By popular demand.it's Raichu!

PIKACHU: [CONFUSED]

ASH: Pikachu, you're okay!

JESSIE: Okay, what's your excuse this time?

MEOWTH: Yipes! I think I just found a disclaimer here.

MEOWTH: Device may take up to one week to achieve complete

evolution. Early use may result in total failure?

JESSIE: You're a total failure!

JAMES: Hold on! They said there may be total failure, right?

You've got to admire a company with such honesty.

JESSIE: Okay! Then why don't you become a stockholder?

ASH: Pikachu! Iron Tail! PIKACHU: [IRON TAIL MOVE]

ASH: It's over guys! Give it up!

MEOWTH: Not so fast! Listen to this, Twerps!

This unit also doubles as a mechabot!!

- JAMES: Mechabot? - JESSIE: Wow,

that is cutting-edge!

MEOWTH: One click on the old remote. Wee!

PIKACHU, MAGIKARP: [YELLING]

ASH: It's true!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: We've got a mechabot!

JESSIE: Forget evolution. With this baby,

we can cause a revolution!

JESSIE: Read the rest.

MEOWTH: Unit only achieves mechabot status

- after successful evolution. - JESSIE: Thanks forthe warning!

JAMES: You know what? I think we got ripped off again.

ORALIE: I think it's time for my Magikarp to teach

you three a lesson!

HALEY: And you'll never want to hear the word evolve

when my Feebas finishes with you!

ORALIE: Magikarp! Tackle! MAGIKARP: [TACKLE MOVE]

HALEY: Feebas, use Ice Beam!

FEEBAS: [ICE BEAM MOVE]

ASH: Pikachu, Thunderbolt, let's go!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

JESSIE: When it comes to impulse buying, we've got a problem!

JAMES: As soon as we land, I'm cutting up my credit cards!

But the unbridled joy of building that kit made me feel

just like a little kid!

MEOWTH: Oh yeah, like that's a big stretch.

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

MAGIKARP: [MUMERING]

DAWN: It's so great that Magikarp and Feebas didn't

evolve after all!

ORALIE: Yeah! Everyone's still the same!

HALEY: Strong and beautiful!

HALEY: Good luck and take good care!

ORALIE: And don't forget about

us and the B-Button League, okay?

- DAWN: Right! - ASH: Yeah! Good bye!

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

NARRATOR: A surprise meeting with a most unusual group

of Pokémon Trainers has given our heroes

yet another point of view when it comes to raising Pokémon.

proving once again that

there as many ways to care for Pokémon as there are Pokémon

themselves! And now, it's on the road to Floarama Town and Dawn's

next Pokémon Contest!
