NARRATOR: Adding a brand-new member to any family is not

without a few challenges, and when it comes to our heroes'

Pokémon family, things seem to be no different.

DAWN: Aww, why is Buizel doing this?

BROCK: I think it's good to remember that Buizel's been

spending all of its time training alone.

ASH: I'll bet a good battle would make Buizel feel great!

So what do you say, Buizel, are you up for it or what?

BUIZEL: [AFFIRMATIVE]

An Elite Meet And Greet!

BUIZEL: [EFFORT]

BUIZEL: [AQUA JET MOVE]

TURTWIG: [PAINED]

DAWN: I told you to use Water g*n, didn't I?

BROCK: Dawn's right, but that Aqua Jet was really

powerful anyway.

ASH: You're okay, Turtwig! Now go and use Bite!

DAWN: Buizel! Dodge it!

ASH: Good sh*t, Turtwig!

DAWN: Buizel, why won't you dodge?

BUIZEL: [SONIC BOOM MOVE]

TURTWIG: [PAINED]

BROCK: That was a Sonic Boom at close range! Buizel took that

Bite att*ck just to get in there!

ASH: Turtwig! You okay?

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

TURTWIG: [STUNNED]

DAWN: Turtwig! That was way too much, Buizel!

DAWN: Oh yeah?

BROCK: I'm pretty sure there's a Pokémon Center up ahead,

- so let's go! - ASH: Yeah...

DAWN: Turtwig, I'm sorry.

BROCK: I guess you're not quite ready to handle Buizel yet,

are you, Dawn?

DAWN: Am too! Or not.

ASH: Dawn, you'll figure this out!

DAWN: I guess... But Buizel doesn't listen to a thing I say!

DAWN: Okay, Buizel, return!

BROCK: Hold on! Let Buizel stay out a bit!

BROCK: You've got to get better communicating with Buizel,

- don't you? - DAWN: Oh yeah, you're right!

ASH: Nurse Joy, would you mind helping my Turtwig?

JOY: Not at all! It's what I do.

BROCK: And please.while you're at it, help out my lonely heart!

JOY: Your lonely heart?

BROCK: Among other things!

CROAGUNK: [SATISFIED]

ASH: [CONCERNED]

CROAGUNK: [QUESTIONING]

CROAGUNK: [CHALLENGING]

DAWN: Buizel, won't you give it a rest?

CROAGUNK: [THREATENING]

CROAGUNK: [DISMISSIVE]

DAWN: Do you always have to try and pick a fight?

DAWN: Can't you be a little more grown up?

BUIZEL: [OFFENDED]

SCIZOR: [IMPACT]

ANNOUNCER: So! We finally come to the Champion League finale!

ANNOUNCER: Can Lucian of the Elite Four finish it up

right here and now?

ASH: Hey! What's all this?

BROCK: They're broadcasting the Champion League!

DAWN: I know him. That's Lucian of the Elite Four!

BUIZEL: [IMPRESSED]

ANNOUNCER: Girafarig has done a magnificent job of dodging

Scizor's Slashes!

SCIZOR : [att*ck]

GIRAFARIG: [TAUNTING]

LUCIAN: All right.Girafarig, Psybeam!

GIRAFARIG: [PSYBEAM MOVE]

ANNOUNCER: And Psybeam makes a huge hit!

ANNOUNCER: That Lucian sure knows how to work with Psychic

Pokémon! An incredible turnaround victory!

ASH: Man, that was cool!

DAWN: Wow, the Elite Four really are that powerful!

LUCIAN: That wasn't that great.

LUCIAN: See? I'm still learning. That match taught me a lot!

ASH : [SHOCKED]

ASH: Lucian of the Elite Four?

LUCIAN: Right. Hello.

ASH: Hello to you! Uh, my name's Ash!

- DAWN: And my name's Dawn! - BROCK: And my name is Brock!

JESSIE: Chase the Twerps long enough, and you're bound to run

into a non-Twerp...

JAMES: A member of the Elite Four, no less!

JESSIE: Sounds familiar.

MEOWTH: The Elite Four are a group of four of the

tip-toppiest of Trainers!

JAMES: And you can be sure they've got a gaggle of the

pick-pickiest of prime Pokémon!

JESSIE: You know what I say.

Why steal from the rest when you can steal from the best?

BROCK: So, it's true that only Pokémon Trainers who've won in

their home Leagues can join the Champion League, correct?

LUCIAN: Right. If you're from Hoenn, you have to have won the

Hoenn League, or Johto, the Johto League!

Which brings us to the Sinnoh League.a monumental

task,of course, but necessary to challenge us!

ASH: Now that would be a real battle between Champions!

DAWN: So you're saying.win here and you can challenge the

Elite Four!

LUCIAN: That's right. You see, the Sinnoh Elite Four is made

up of yours truly, who specializes in Psychic Pokémon;

Aaron, who specializes in Bug Pokémon;Bertha, a Ground-type

Pokémon specialist; and Flint, who's great with Fire types!

And presiding at the top of the Elite Four is

Cynthia, Master of the Champion League!

But if you wish to challenge her, you first have to

defeat all four of us.the Elite Four!

DAWN: So Cynthia's the very top of the top!

ASH: Far as I'm concerned, that's what it's all about!

BUIZEL: [EXCITED]

BUIZEL: [INSISTENT] DAWN: Now, Buizel, stop it!

Sorry, but I just caught this Buizel...

LUCIAN: Oh, that's quite all right! I think Buizel wants to

battle me.

DAWN: When will you learn to mind your manners?

BUIZEL: [EXCITED]

LUCIAN: No, it's fine. And I accept Buizel's challenge.

ASH: Do you think,you'd battle with me and

Pikachu first?

LUCIAN: So, Ash, am I correct in assuming that your goal is to

- conquer the Sinnoh League? - ASH: Right!

LUCIAN: Well, I guarantee you can look forward to having that

battle with me immediately after you've attained your goal!

LUCIAN: But as for right now, Buizel asked.

And I'm honoring that request!

ASH: Oh.

JESSIE: So Mr. Elite's going to give them a treat.

JAMES: We deserve one, too!

MEOWTH: While they're battling, we'll get busy!

JESSIE: We're singing this tune Because soon We'll be rich!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: Do you mind telling us which Pokémon you're

going to use, Lucian?

LUCIAN: I'll show you a Pokémon that's a fitting match!

All right?

LUCIAN: All right.Bronzong!

BRONZONG: [APPEARING]

- DAWN: A Bronzong? - ASH: Let's see.

POKEDEX: Bronzong. The Bronze Bell Pokémon. One slept for over

, years until it was accidentally awakened at a

construction site.

JESSIE: I guess when they say Elite, they mean it!

JAMES: I'm sure Bronzong gives high-brow battling with a

capital "B"!

MEOWTH: Ooh-la-whee! Here we go.

JAMES : Yo ho!

BUIZEL: [EXCITED]

DAWN: Now. Use Aqua Jet!

BUIZEL: [WATER g*n MOVE]

ASH: Hey, that was Water g*n!

BROCK: Oh no! Buizel still won't do what Dawn commands!

LUCIAN: Bronzong! Iron Defense!

BRONZONG: [IRON DEFENSE MOVE]

BRONZONG: [SATISFIED]

DAWN: Now.this time I want you to use Aqua Jet!

- ASH: Sonic Boom! - DAWN: Why's Buizel doing that?

LUCIAN: Iron Defense, again!

BRONZONG: [IRON DEFENSE MOVE]

LUCIAN: Let's wrap this up, Bronzong. Now! Gyro Ball, go!

BRONZONG: [GYRO BALL MOVE]

DAWN: Quick, Buizel, dodge it!

BUIZEL: [IMPACT] BRONZONG: [IMPACT]

BUIZEL: [PAINED] DAWN: No!

BUIZEL: [RECOVERING]

BUIZEL: [DETERMINED]

LUCIAN: Amazing. Buizel took Bronzong's Gyro Ball and still

got right back up...

All right...Bronzong, time for Flash Cannon!

DAWN: Flash Cannon?

BRONZONG: [AFFIRMATIVE]

BROCK: Flash Cannon's strong.

ASH: Well, that's a new one on me.

BRONZONG: [CHARGING]

- LUCIAN: And fire! - DAWN: Quick, Buizel, dodge it!

BUIZEL: [WATER g*n MOVE]

ASH : [SHOCKED]

BUIZEL: [PAINED]

DAWN: Buizel!

BUIZEL: [PAINED] [IMPACT]

DAWN: Buizel, are you okay?

BUIZEL: [STRUGGLING]

- ASH: Whoa, tough break. - LUCIAN: I'm terribly sorry.

I seem to have gotten a bit carried away by Buizel's

fighting spirit.

LUCIAN: Please go and see Nurse Joy.

- DAWN: We will. - LUCIAN: Till we meet again.

BROCK: Not even one of Buizel's att*cks made contact at all!

ASH: I know. The Elite Four sure are tough.

JESSIE: Whoa. That Bronzong made puree out of that Twerp duo.

JAMES: Say.I wonder if the Boss even likes puree.

MEOWTH: There is a chance the Boss'll be clueless as to

Bronzong's , uses. Matter of fact, he may go bonkers trying

to figure out what to do with that bazooka-brain!

When you get down to brass tacks,there may be only

one thing he can do.

Leave it on the porch anduse it as a giant door knocker!

JAMES: Then he'll use us as firewood!

MEOWTH: There's nothing wrong with tweaking our plan if things

get goofy.

JAMES: When it comes to the Boss...

JESSIE: We're goofy enough!

BUIZEL: [WHIMPERING]

DAWN: Buizel!

NURSE JOY: Things should be fine now.

ASH: Awesome, Buizel!

BROCK: That was a great battle!

ASH: [SURPRISED]

DAWN: I guess losing was a big shock after all...

BROCK: I think so...

ASH: Remember, way back at the river, Buizel was unbeatable...

PIKACHU: [REASSURING]

BUIZEL: [DEJECTED]

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

ASH: Wow, this is bad.

JOY: Well, I think I have just the thing. A nice bowl of soup!

BROCK: Dear Nurse Joy, there's no doubt you have

just the thing!

See, the combination of your beauty plus your nursing

and cooking skills knocks me out cold!

- BROCK: See what I mean? - JOY: Oh.

CROAGUNK: [SATISFIED]

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED] CROAGUNK: [CONCERNED]

ASH: When you get stared down by Croagunk and nothing happens,

it's got to be serious.

DAWN: Guess I never should've let Buizel battle...much less

have a battle with one of the Elite Four!

ASH: I know!

ASH: [DELIGHTED]

ASH: There's nothing like the great outdoors to pick your

spirits right up!

PIKACHU: [AGREEMENT]

ASH: Buizel, I heard there's a gigantic river around here!

Why don't we all go swimming?

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

ASH: Man, I was sure that would work.

PIKACHU: [RESIGNED]

LUCIAN: Hello, everyone!

LUCIAN: I thought I'd find you all out here!

- ASH: Hey, Lucian! - DAWN: Look there.

Buizel just hasn't been the same since

losing our battle.

LUCIAN: Then it's time. A very important time, too!

DAWN: What do you mean?

LUCIAN: Buizel's standing at a crossroads and needs to

make a choice.

LUCIAN: The choice of exactly what to do with defeat!

LUCIAN: Buizel can continue loving to battle like before...

LUCIAN: Or not.

BUIZEL: [SURPRISED] / [SCARED]

- DAWN: Buizel, no! - LUCIAN: Now what's going on?

JESSIE: Listen! Is that one of the Elite Four I hear?

JAMES: You're listening to the Elite Three. Is that clear?

- JESSIE: On the wind! - JAMES: Past the stars!

- MEOWTH: In your ear! - JESSIE: Hear hear!

JESSIE: Bringing chaos at a breakneck pace!

JAMES: Dashing all hope, putting fear in its place!

JESSIE: A rose by any other name is just as sweet!

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

- JESSIE: Jessie! - JAMES: And James!

MEOWTH: Meowth,that's a name!

JESSIE: Putting the do-gooders in their place!

- JAMES: We're Team Rocket! - JESSIE: In your face!

ASH: Team Rocket!

LUCIAN: What are you going to do with Buizel?

JESSIE: Where's that Elite brain?

JAMES: We were going to give Bronzong to the Boss.

MEOWTH: But Buizel will give us much more bang for the buck!

LUCIAN: Normally I would be quite upset with people

like you, but.I'm not.

BUIZEL: [ANGRY]

- ASH: I'll save you, Buizel! - DAWN: Me too!

LUCIAN: Now hold on.

You see, this may be just the chance Buizel's been

waiting for.

DAWN: I'm not sure what you mean.

BUIZEL: [ANGRY]

BUIZEL: [FURIOUS]

ASH: Whoa, check it out!

DAWN: Wow, up until a minute ago Buizel was so depressed!

LUCIAN: Buizel's anger at being caged has completely erased the

sadness over losing our battle!

DAWN: I hope so.

BUIZEL: [SONIC BOOM MOVE]

- ASH: It's Sonic Boom! - JESSIE: It's a sonic bust!

JAMES: When it comes to that cool cage, we spent more green

than you Twerps have ever seen!

MEOWTH: Buizel will break before it does!

BUIZEL: [EFFORT]

BUIZEL: [STRUGGLING]

JESSIE: That's it. Have your fun!

MEOWTH: We bought that basket with a second mortgage on our

balloon and traded in James's bottlecap collection!

JAMES: A sacrifice worth twice the price!

BUIZEL: [STRUGGLING]

- BROCK: Poor Buizel! - DAWN: Buizel, don't give up!

DAWN: You've got to do it!

BUIZEL: [SONIC BOOM MOVE]

BUIZEL: [TRIUMPHANT]

JESSIE: What? Our money!

BUIZEL: [EXCITED]

- DAWN: Yes! - ASH: You did it!

JESSIE: Did what? Mortgaged our future?

MEOWTH: Andgave our beautiful balloon to some stupid bank?

JAMES: Now you'll pay!

JESSIE: Quick, Dustox, come on out!

JAMES: You too, Carnivine, go!

DUSTOX: [APPEARING]

JAMES: There are better places for this than in a public forum!

DAWN: Great! Buizel, let's go!

LUCIAN: Hold on, Dawn. Not so fast!

I'd like the honor!

DAWN: Okay.

JESSIE: Dustox, use Tackle now!

JAMES: Carnivine, quick! Use Bite!

DUSTOX: [BATTLING]

DAWN: Look out, Buizel! Dodge it!

LUCIAN: There's really no need for that at all.

Buizel! Water g*n, let's go!

BUIZEL: [WATER g*n MOVE]

ASH: Buizel did just what Lucian said!

JESSIE: Now, Psybeam!

JAMES: Carnivine, use b*llet Seed!

CARNIVINE: [BATTLING]

BUIZEL: [TRIUMPHANT]

LUCIAN: All right, Buizel, use Sonic Boom!

BUIZEL: [SONIC BOOM MOVE]

CARNIVINE: [PAINED]

JAMES: Trounced by a Twerp with blue fins!

LUCIAN: Now let's use Aqua Jet!

BUIZEL: [AQUA JET MOVE]

DUSTOX: [IMPACT]

JESSIE: They detoxed you,too!

BUIZEL: [PLEASED]

LUCIAN: Dawn? See how this works?

Buizel has its own unique style.its own battle rhythm!

A Trainer's task is to discover that unique style and

help their Pokémon develop it!

DAWN: I think I'm really starting to get this.

LUCIAN: All right, Buizel. Finish with Water g*n!

BUIZEL: [WATER g*n MOVE]

JAMES: Not to be a spoilsport, but you promised my bottlecaps

- back with interest! - JESSIE: I lied.

MEOWTH: I should have bet money on that answer!

JESSIE: We're blasting off again!

DAWN: Wow, Buizel, you were awesome!

BUIZEL: [PLEASED]

BUIZEL: [INSISTENT]

DAWN: You don't want to battle Lucian again, do you?

LUCIAN: I'd love to! Please, Dawn, may I?

DAWN: Sure!

LUCIAN: I'll use Bronzong again. Now! Gyro Ball!

BRONZONG: [GYRO BALL MOVE]

DAWN: Quick, Buizel, dodge!

ASH: That's awesome that Buizel's doing what Dawn says!

DAWN: Now, Buizel, Aqua Jet!

LUCIAN: Iron Defense!

BUIZEL: [AQUA JET MOVE]

BROCK: Look at that! Those two are in perfect sync!

DAWN: Now let's use Water g*n!

BUIZEL: [WATER g*n MOVE] LUCIAN: Iron Defense!

BRONZONG: [IRON DEFENSE MOVE]

DAWN: Great work, Buizel! Keep it up!

LUCIAN: Bronzong, return!

DAWN: Why?

LUCIAN: I think that's just enough.

LUCIAN: So, although I can't say you were perfect, you did work

with your Buizel much better then you had before!

DAWN: Gee, thanks!

LUCIAN: I know you'll become much stronger in the future.

I look forward to seeing how you do. Farewell!

DAWN: Thank you so much,Lucian. Bye!

BROCK: What an amazing meeting. And what a great guy!

ASH: Yeah, and one of these days I'm going to battle Lucian, too!

DAWN: That's the spirit! Sounds like you're ready for

win number two!

ASH: You bet! I'm going to get that second

Sinnoh badge for sure!

NARRATOR: A chance encounter with Lucian and the Elite Four

turns out to be a wonderful way for Dawn to deepen the

relationship with her Buizel, while Ash's second Sinnoh battle

challenge at the Eterna City Gym is coming up faster than ever,

so stay tuned!
