PIKACHU: [EXCITED] TRAINER : Hey guys!

TRAINER : Check it out the Champion just turned up

- at Amity Square! - TRAINER : No way!

TRAINER : Cynthia's over there?

TRAINER : Yeah, let's go!

TRAINER & : Okay!

- ASH: C'mon! Let's go too! - BROCK: Yeah!

NARRATOR: Our Heroes' journey to Hearthome City has taken a

most exciting turn!

NARRATOR: For as luck would have it they're now on their way

to see Champion League Master Cynthia up close and personal!

Top - Down Training!

JESSIE: Excuse me!

JAMES: Know what you'd like just yet?

CYNTHIA: Well, every one of them looks great.

MEOWTH: Then try them all and knock yourself out!

CYNTHIA: But where would I put them all?

CYNTHIA: I know!

CYNTHIA: I'll take a triple cone with Chocolate Mint Strawberry

and Cookies and Cream!

JESSIE: That's narrowing it down!

CYNTHIA: Thank you!

JESSIE: Thank you!

JESSIE: Finally!

JAMES: That was an interesting way to spend half the day.

MEOWTH: Imagine her at the grocery store!

WOBBUFFET: [AGREEING]

ASH: Whoa it's really her!

DAWN: Cynthia the Champion!

BROCK: She's even more ravishing live than on TV!

BROCK: I should be in her arms instead of ice cream!

DAWN: Sometimes, Brock, you worry me.

ASH: Hey, Paul!

ASH: Haven't seen you since Oreburgh!

So how many badges have you won? I've got two of them now!

PAUL: It's really none of your business, see?

DAWN: The same old same old!

PAUL: You're Cynthia aren't you?

CYNTHIA: Yes!

PAUL: My name is Paul and I'm from Veilstone.

PAUL: I'd like to challenge you to a battle!

VOICE : Who is that guy?

VOICE : He can't challenge the Champion like that!

CYNTHIA: It's been awhile since I took a field challenge...

Are you competing in the Sinnoh League now?

- PAUL: That's right! - CYNTHIA: I see.

Then I'm assuming you transferred here

from another league.

CYNTHIA: Fine then. I accept your challenge!

VOICE : The Champion's gonna battle him!

VOICE : Unbelievable!

JESSIE: She couldn't decide what ice cream to have!

JAMES: But she didn't think twice with the Twerp!

MEOWTH: Guess champions must be weird like that.

PAUL: Do you mind if we battle with six Pokémon each?

CYNTHIA: No problem!

VOICE : Hey, that's a full battle!

VOICE : He's got guts all right!

VOICE : But he sure doesn't have brains!

DAWN: Wow, this crowd is giving Paul a tough time!

BROCK: That's true, but don't forget this is Paul we're

talking about. I'm sure he's done his homework!

CYNTHIA: Then let's get this underway!

Garchomp, battle dance!

GARCHOMP: [APPEARING]

ASH: Whoa, there's Garchomp again!

POKEDEX: Garchomp. The Mach Pokémon.

POKEDEX: When it folds up its body and spreads its wings,

it can fly like a jet plane at the speed of sound.

PAUL: Chimchar, stand by for battle!

CHIMCHAR: [APPEARING]

CYNTHIA: A Chimchar..?

VOICE : But wait! Garchomp's a

combination Dragonand Groundtype!

VOICE : Everybody knows a Fire

type's gonna be a lousy matchup!

VOICE : Hey, no brains, remember?

CYNTHIA: Paul, you may have the first att*ck!

PAUL: Thanks! Fire Spin, Go!

CHIMCHAR: [FIRE SPIN MOVE]

GARCHOMP: [EXERTION]

ASH: Wow so Chimchar learned Fire Spin!

BROCK: With lots more strength!

DAWN: But let's see if Fire Spin does anything!

PAUL: Now Dig!

CHIMCHAR: [DIG MOVE]

CYNTHIA: We'll use Dig as well!

GARCHOMP: [DIG MOVE]

JESSIE: Do you think they're looking for gold?

JAMES: You can be sure I would.

GARCHOMP: [ROAR]

CHIMCHAR: [PAINED]

CHIMCHAR: [DAZED]

GARCHOMP: [PLEASED]

DAWN: Boy that didn't take long did it?

PAUL: You oughta be ashamed!

ASH: That guy still doesn't get it!

PAUL: Weavile! Stand by for battle!

WEAVILE: [APPEARING]

DAWN: Let's see how Weavile does!

POKEDEX: Weavile. The Sharp Claw Pokémon.

POKEDEX: It signals its companions by using its claws to

leave mysterious markings on the surfaces of trees and ice.

CYNTHIA: An Ice type Pokémon like Weavile against Garchomp is

a good match!

CYNTHIA: Yes, a wise choice in deed!

PAUL: Blizzard!

WEAVILE: [BLIZZARD MOVE]

GARCHOMP: [DETERMINED]

BROCK: What happened?

DAWN: That Blizzard should've been huge but it did nothing!

CYNTHIA: Dragon Rush!

GARCHOMP: [AFFIRMATIVE]

GARCHOMP: [DRAGON RUSH MOVE]

WEAVILE: [SCARED]

ASH: Why does Weavile just stand there?

PIKACHU: [WORRIED]

BROCK: Dragon Rush is a move that focuses the body

into a w*apon that strikes with incredible power!

BROCK: Any opponent loses its ability to escape from it!

PAUL: In that case, Ice Beam!

WEAVILE: [ICE BEAM MOVE]

WEAVILE: [DAZED]

JESSIE: One hit again!

JAMES: No wonder he's mad.

MEOWTH: If she did that to me I'd be burning up!

PAUL: Murkrow! Stand by for battle!

MURKROW: [APPEARING]

ASH: I didn't know Paul had a Murkrow!

DAWN: I'll check it out!

POKEDEX: Murkrow. The Darkness Pokémon. Many people believe

that if you see a Murkrow at night, it will bring bad luck.

PAUL: Use Haze!

MURKROW: [HAZE MOVE]

CYNTHIA: Dodge it! GARCHOMP: [DODGING]

MURKROW: [DETERMINED]

- ASH: That's fast! - PAUL: Sky att*ck now!

MURKROW: [SKY att*ck MOVE]

CYNTHIA: Quick, Giga Impact!

GARCHOMP: [GIGA IMPACT MOVE]

PAUL: Here it comes!

MURKROW: [SKY att*ck MOVE] GARCHOMP: [GIGA IMPACT MOVE]

MURKROW: [SKY att*ck MOVE][GIGA IMPACT MOVE]

GARCHOMP: [PLEASED]

MURKROW: [PAINED] MURKROW: [DAZED]

ASH: Hold on, what's Paul smiling about?

PIKACHU: [CURIOUS]

DAWN: He lost three Pokémon with a single hit!

PAUL: Torterra! Standby for battle!

TORTERRA: [APPEARING]

ASH: Whoa, that's a Torterra!

POKEDEX: Torterra. The Continent Pokémon. Torterra is

the final evolved form of Turtwig. Sometimes small Pokémon

will gather to make their nests on Torterra's back.

BROCK: Paul's got three Pokémon to go.

DAWN: While Cynthia's still got all six of her Pokémon ready!

DAWN: And Garchomp's hardly even gotten a scratch!

PAUL: Giga Drain!

TORTERRA: [GIGA DRAIN MOVE]

GARCHOMP: [PAINED]

ASH: A hit! PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

DAWN: But I don't understand why

Garchomp didn't even try to dodge it!

BROCK: Of course! That's what Paul wanted to happen!

BROCK: After a Giga Impact is launched,

it takes a while to recharge.

BROCK: So Paul knew that by using Giga Drain at this moment,

he could sap Garchomp's power for just long enough, until Giga

Impact could be fully charged up and Garchomp could use it again!

PAUL: Giga Impact is a powerful move all right.

PAUL: .but it's also one of Garchomp's weak points as well!

TORTERRA: [GIGA DRAIN MOVE]

GARCHOMP: [WEAK]

PAUL: Now use Frenzy Plant!

TORTERRA: [FRENZY PLANT MOVE]

GARCHOMP: [DETERMINED]

CYNTHIA: Use Brick Break!

GARCHOMP: [BRICK BREAK MOVE]

TORTERRA: [SURPRISED]

GARCHOMP: [BRICK BREAK MOVE]

GARCHOMP: [BRICK BREAK MOVE][PAINED]

ASH: What.can you say?

ASH: She's the Champion!

PAUL: I guess that's it.

CYNTHIA: Guess so. Nice, Garchomp! Great battle!

GARCHOMP: [PLEASED]

VOICE : You see?

VOICE : I told you he'd be embarrassed.

VOICE : What a loser!

ASH: Hey, knock it off!

DAWN: But, Ash! What's up with him?

BROCK: I think Ash has some new found respect for Paul after

challenging Cynthia the way he did.

ASH: I'll tell you, Paul it was great!

PAUL: Well, I'll work on it and try again.

CYNTHIA: I'll look forward to it!

PAUL: Goodbye.

ASH: Paul? Hey wait! That's not where the Pokémon

Center is you know.

CYNTHIA: Paul, hold it right there!

CYNTHIA: Bringing injured Pokémon to a Pokémon Center is a

trainer's first responsibility, you know!

PAUL: Right.

NURSE JOY: I'm terribly sorry.

NURSE JOY: We've got an urgent situation here now! I've got to

get into surgery right away!

NURSE JOY: Please forgive me!

CYNTHIA: Then, there's no choice.

CYNTHIA: I'll have to treat them myself!

ASH: You'll do it? PIKACHU: [CURIOUS]

BROCK: I'll help you!

BROCK: Anything you need, you just let me know!

CROAGUNK: [CROAKING]

CROAGUNK: [SURPRISED] [BASHFUL]

CYNTHIA: We've got quite a fever going here.

ASH: But that Brick Break landed on Torterra's head, didn't it?

CYNTHIA: That's true, but the shock from that

move spread all over the body!

CYNTHIA: So we treat everywhere not only the

part that was hit.

DAWN: You're such a great champion! You know everything!

CYNTHIA: And now it's your turn!

CYNTHIA: Chimchar? I want you to take this.

CHIMCHAR: [AGREEING] / [HAPPY]

CYNTHIA: That was excellent! I'm proud of you!

CHIMCHAR: [HAPPY]

CYNTHIA: There, time for some more rest.

ASH: Chimchar looks a lot better now!

PIKACHU: [HAPPY] CHIMCHAR: [SLEEPY]

DAWN: Look, the flame on Chimchar's tail!

BROCK: When Chimchar sleeps the flame goes out!

DAWN: Ohhh..[AMAZED]

JESSIE: I'll bet you two every Pokémon in there

wants us to steal them!

JAMES: The poor dears are just not aware of it yet that's all!

MEOWTH: Of course. Hey, that's the ticket.

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

CYNTHIA: All set! I'm done with your Pokémon.

PAUL: Thanks a lot, Cynthia.

CYNTHIA: Paul, your Pokémon are all very well trained.

And I'm especially impressed with your Torterra.

It's really quite amazing!

PAUL: Torterra was my very first Pokémon.

DAWN: That's incredible!

BROCK: You raised it from a Turtwig?

PAUL: Right.

PAUL: We've traveled a lot. We made our way through the

Hoenn,Johto, and Kanto leagues but didn't win any of them.

PAUL: It was also during that time I caught

Weavile and Murkrow.

ASH: What about Chimchar?

PAUL: After I came back to Sinnoh.

CYNTHIA: You've done a lot with Chimchar in such a short time!

PAUL: So what? After all, Chimchar didn't do such a great

job against Garchomp if you remember.

ASH: Until you got hit with that Giga Impact I don't think you

cared how many of your Pokémon took a fall!

- PAUL: Your point? - ASH: C'mon!

How do you think your Pokémon felt about that?

ASH: Don't you get it Paul?

Winning that way's only a win for you!

PAUL: Oh give me a break A win is a win!

ASH: No way! The only real win is when you get

it along with your Pokémon!

ASH: Why don't you care about your Pokémon?

PAUL: Because then they'll get spoiled. And Chimchar is the

perfect example of exactly what I mean.

PAUL: A spoiled Pokémon who doesn't try hard enough!

ASH: Well, you're wrong! You've got to support your Pokémon!

Then they'll support you!

- PAUL: Pathetic. - ASH: What?

ASH: What counts in a battle is the bond between

you and yourPokémon! You'll never win your way!

PIKACHU: [ANGRY]

PAUL: You just keep doing things your way.

I'll become stronger any way I choose.

CYNTHIA: You want to get stronger?

CYNTHIA: If you do.There's something I want you to see.

PIKACHU: [CONFUSED]

CYNTHIA: The words that are written here

completely changed my life.

CYNTHIA: Listen while I read them.

CYNTHIA: "When every life meets another life.

something will be born."

ASH: When every life.

BROCK: Meets another life.

DAWN: Something will be born?

CYNTHIA: When I was younger I used to dream of nothing other

than becoming powerful through being victorious in battle,

and so I trained endlessly.

CYNTHIA: Then I discovered that even the same types of Pokémon

have unique personalities!

CYNTHIA: It was at that moment I decided I wanted

to get to know each and every one of them better.

CYNTHIA: And then, after meeting more and more Pokémon.learning

more of their ways.something completely new began to stir

deep within my soul. I knew meeting new Pokémon was just

like meeting new people!

CYNTHIA: I'm sure because of our meeting today something powerful

has been placed in each one of us.

CYNTHIA: Something important! Something that will make us

stronger in our own ways.

CYNTHIA: My desire to learn about Pokémon

has spawned a dream.

that someday I'll actually meet

the Legendary Dialga and Palkia!

CYNTHIA: Then.perhaps I'll be able to travel back to the

source and find the timeless origin of all Pokémon!

BROCK: It would be amazing to meet Dialga and Palkia.

DAWN: It sure would.

CYNTHIA: Yes!

JESSIE: Chimchar seems totally tuckered!

JAMES: No wonder! The rigors of Twerp ownership.

MEOWTH: It's time to lift this poor lug out of its lousy life!

MEOWTH: Matter of fact, we're

gonna give all of these guys a lift!

NURSE JOY: Hello! Excuse me, but what are you doing here?

MEOWTH: Sandman?

JESSIE: You grab Chimchar Let's run!

JAMES: Grabbing ho!

NURSE JOY: Come back! That's not your Chimchar!

ASH: Chimchar.? ASH: That's Paul's!

DAWN: And Team Rocket's got it!

ASH: Stop!

JAMES: A g*ng a' Twerps!

MEOWTH: And that top of the line trainer babe!

- DAWN: Give Chimchar back! - BROCK: Or you'll be sorry!

JESSIE: She runs, she jumps!

JESSIE: Now you take your lumps!

CYNTHIA: [SHOCKED] CYNTHIA: Oh dear!

JAMES: I'll take that as a compliment!

MEOWTH: Any 'dear' from

CHIMCHAR: [CURIOUS]

JESSIE: Little Chimmie woke up!

JAMES: Welcome to our world!

JESSIE: Bringing chaos at a break neck pace!

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

MEOWTH: Mess with Team Rocket, we're in your face!

CHIMCHAR : [FLAMETHROWER MOVE] MEOWTH: Heh.

JESSIE: We get it.

ASH: All right, Staravia!

PAUL: Ursaring, stand by!

URSARING: [APPEARING]

DAWN: Ursaring?

BROCK: From Bewilder Forest?

PAUL: Hyper Beam!

URSARING: [HYPER BEAM MOVE]

CHIMCHAR: [EXERTION]

JESSIE: Every time we turn around we get b*rned!

JAMES: Will you stop with the fire jokes?

MEOWTH: Hey kids, know of a red hot Pokémon we could strike a

real match with? WOBBUFFET: [AMUSED]

JESSIE: We're blasting off again!

CHIMCHAR: [PAINED]

PAUL: Look, I don't care if you did get injured.

To be captured by a bunch of losers.

PAUL: Useless! CHIMCHAR: [SAD]

ASH: How could you be so mean?

DAWN: Chimchar was sleeping when Team Rocket grabbed it!

CYNTHIA: All right, enough!

The important thing now is Chimchar's safe and sound!

CYNTHIA: Dear, sweet.Chimchar. CHIMCHAR: [HAPPY]

DAWN: You're right. Of course that's the only thing that

matters at this point, I know!

- BROCK: I agree. - ASH: You bet, Chimchar!

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

CYNTHIA: You know, Paul for the sake of your Pokémon,

youshould spend the night at the Pokémon Center.

CYNTHIA: You want to get stronger too, right?

PAUL: Well, all right.

RHONDA: This newsflash!

RHONDA: Here at the ancient ruins in Celestic Town.

RHONDA: .the Lustrous Orb, related to the Legendary Pokémon

Palkia, has been discovered!

ASH: Lustrous? Like the Adamant Orb?

CYNTHIA: They finally found it!

RHONDA: The Lustrous Orb is the companion of the magnificent

Adamant Orb, currently on exhibit in Eterna City, and is

said to increase the powers of Palkia!

RHONDA: With this discovery, scientists hope to learn much

more about the Legend of Sinnoh Space and Time!

CYNTHIA: Now I know where I'm traveling to next.

DAWN: Celestic Town, is that right?

- CYNTHIA: Right! - ASH: You know.

I'm still not really sure just what you weretalking

about back there...But I do know I love Pokémon just as

much as you do, Cynthia!

CYNTHIA: Good! And that's all you need to know to become

stronger in your own way!

ASH: Right! PIKACHU: [AGREEING]

CYNTHIA: All right then be careful

on the rest of your journey!

- ASH: We will! - CYNTHIA: Goodbye!

BROCK: Goodbye!

NARRATOR: Proving to be a true Champion and a generous friend,

too, it looks as though Cynthia may have touched the hearts and

minds of both Ash and Paul, not to mention the

rest of our heroes!

NARRATOR: And with Hearthome City soon on the horizon,

the journey continues!
