ASH: Okay, hold on

Hey, Turtwig?

DAWN: Turtwig, it's time to go now.

NARRATOR: Ash's third Gym challenge at

the Hearthome City Gym will have to wait a bit longer,

as our heroes spring into action in a heroic attempt

to rescue a stranded Pokémon in desperate need!

- DAWN: Ash, please be careful. - ASH: Hey! No problem!

DAWN, PIKACHU, TURTWIG: [ALARMED]

ASH: Hey, thanks, Brock! Now just give me some more rope!

HIPPOPOTAS: [NERVOUS]

ASH: Don't move! Everything will be okay!

ASH: Whoa, that hurts! C'mon, what did you do that for?

DAWN: It's scared, the poor thing.

You've got to try to calm it down first!

ASH: Yeah, you're right. Pikachu, give me a hand!

PIKACHU: [ENCOURAGING]

HIPPOPOTAS: [HESITANT] PIKACHU: [REASSURING]

ASH: All set, Brock! Now pull us up!

ASH: And there you go.

HIPPOPOTAS: [EXHAUSTED]

ASH: Wow! Man, you were brave.

HIPPOPOTAS: [TIRED]

ASH: My name's Ash from Pallet Town! Nice to meet you!

BROCK: It's a Hippopotas!

POKEDEX: Hippopotas. The Hippo Pokémon.

It lives in dry places and covers itself in sand

to protect against germs. It does not enjoy getting wet.

ASH: Wow.

DAWN: Poor dear! You still scared?

BROCK: I'd be surprised if it's not! It was scary!

I'll bet you a snack would help.

- ASH: Good idea! - BROCK: Here, try some of this!

HIPPOPOTAS: [SNIFFING]

HIPPOPOTAS: [EAGER] / [CRYING]

ASH: Hey, you don't have to get so worked up!

It's not going anywhere.

BROCK, DAWN, BROCK, PIKACHU, TURTWIG: [LAUGHING]

HIPPOPOTAS: [PLEADING]

ASH: You want some fruit?

DAWN: I wonder if it fell trying to grab some?

ASH: Yeah.

ASH: Here you go!

Awesome! And in one bite! Good, huh?

- DAWN: Look! There's a smile. - ASH: Way to go!

HIPPOPOTAS: [HAPPY]

ASH: Well, we've got to get going now.

You just be careful, okay?

DAWN: Bye, Hippopotas!

Gee, I just hope it doesn't get hungry

and fall down again.

BROCK: With as much as Hippopotas ate,

it shouldn't be a problem for quite a while!

ASH: What, Pikachu?

HIPPOPOTAS: [HAPPY]

ASH: Hold on, you want to come along with us?

HIPPOPOTAS: [HAPPY]

DAWN: Ash, I think Hippopotas wants to be yours!

BROCK: Yeah! After all, you're the one who rescued it.

RHONDA: Aha! The missing Hippopotas has finally

been discovered!Surviving alone in the wilderness for ages,

only to be rescued by a group of kids!

If you don't watch that mic,

you're gonna be in the wilderness!

JACK: Sorry about that.

ASH: Hey, it's Rhonda from Sinnoh Now!

RHONDA: Oh, I know you. You're Ash and Dawn,

and you're Brock! Hi!

ASH: Hi! What did you just say?

DAWN: About a missing Hippopotas?

RHONDA: Good hearing! We're right in the middle of

filming a documentary about Hippopotas, you see?

- BROCK: A documentary? - RHONDA: Great hearing.

RHONDA: Hippopotas like to live in dry places

and cover themselves in sand, too.

They usually travel together as a herd with the

change of season, searching for the dry places they love.

We were filming that very event when this came up!

When we found this one got separated from the herd,

we thought this a much better story!

ASH: And now everything's okay, right?

BROCK: So do you have any idea where

the Hippopotas herd is right now?

RHONDA: If they're going the same way right here!

ASH: So I think we should take this guy back

to its buddies. What do you say?

- DAWN: Great! - BROCK: Sure!

We can't leave it here.

ASH: So! Want to come with us and find all your friends?

HIPPOPOTAS: [AGREEMENT] DAWN: This way!

RHONDA: Come on, boys, let's go!

- ASH: Why is this hole here? - DAWN: Who knows?

ASH: Team Rocket!

JESSIE: Thanks a lot for your hyper-potus!

MEOWTH: It's Hippopotas, you half-wit!

JAMES: A hyper-hoople?

ASH: Hippopotas, hang in there!

- MEOWTH: Some burp! - ASH: Turtwig! I choose you!

ASH: Razor Leaf, quick!

TURTWIG: [RAZOR LEAF MOVE]

ASH: Hippopotas, I got you.

ASH: [YAWN MOVE]

ASH: Come on, I don't have any time to mess

with Team Rocket now! Bye!

JESSIE: What? You've got a schedule?

JESSIE: I told you to stay on watch!

MEOWTH: Aside from you,

Twerp-watching is boring as it gets.

JAMES: Aww. Night!

JESSIE: Oh, you want bored? I'll bore through your head!

JAMES: It's Hippopotas's Yawn, not you.

JAMES: If that att*ck lands, you're out for the count!

JESSIE: Oh, I see. Well, I want Happypoppy.

JAMES: It's Hippopotas!

JESSIE: Next you'll say,

"Let's give it to the Boss as a present!"

JAMES: Right! Picture this!

The Boss is on the links playing holes or so

when he suddenly shanks it and lobs it right into a sand trap!

But guess who's waiting in said sand

to lob it out with nose blowback?

JAMES: Right on the green for an easy birdie!

JAMES: And what would His Bossness say then?

JAMES: "Ahh, just like Hippopotas

to keep me under par!" Har har.

Perhaps it would be less technical

to picture the Boss on the beach!

JAMES: But as fate would have it, it's sorely lacking in sand!

Well, if it's sand in demand, who more able than Hippopotas

to hustle up enough sand for a thousand Bosses to play in?

Then guess his very next utterance?

"Who better than Hippopotas for a turn down beach day?" Yay!

JESSIE: Riveting.

DAWN: Come on. How's your head?

ASH: Flatter, but I'm just fine! With Team Rocket on the prowl,

- we've got to do this, right? - DAWN: You're right!

Then it'll be back with all of its friends in no time!

BROCK: Ash,

say the word and I'll give you a break whenever you need it

DAWN: Aww. Brock's sleepy.

ASH: Brock? Man, this is no time for a nap,

so come on! Let's move it!

DAWN: But Ash, there's nothing we can really do,

since he was hit by Hippopotas's Yawn back there.

ASH: Yeah, you're right. With Brock like this,

we can't go anywhere.

DAWN: What a mess.

ASH: I give up. Let's take a break.

DAWN: Team Rocket's come back!

ASH: Man! Come on, Dawn, let's hide in the bushes!

DAWN: Right!

ASH: Ugh, I can't believe we left Brock back there!

DAWN: This is awful!

ASH: [CURIOUS]

CROAGUNK: [FRANTIC CROAKING]

DAWN: Croagunk!

ASH: Man, that was some quick thinking!

DAWN: Croagunk, you're so smart.

CROAGUNK: [CROAKING]

RHONDA: Lovely! I thought it couldn't get any worse.

Hippopotas is gone, Jack's asleep,

and on top of that I have to hold my own mic.

So take that, Jack!

JACK: Not the mailroom sorry about that

RHONDA: Who asked you anyway? Move!

BROCK: It's so embarrassing

But thanks, guys, for getting me out of there.

ASH: Hey, it was Croagunk that saved you.

BROCK: It was Croagunk?

DAWN: Oh, no. Closed for construction.

ASH: I wonder what else can go wrong.

HIPPOPOTAS: [EAGER]

ASH: Hippopotas!

MEOWTH: Told you all we needed was the right bait.

JESSIE: Now we've got a happy hibachi!

MEOWTH: Jess, the word is "Hippopotas."

JAMES: You don't read much, do you?

ASH: All right, give back Hippopotas!

DAWN: We've got to bring Hippopotas to its herd!

JESSIE: Go somewhere else if you want to be philanthropic!

JESSIE: This isn't a day at the beach!

JAMES: But it's Hippopotas's Sand att*ck.

HIPPOPOTAS: [SAND TOMB MOVE]

JESSIE: What's this, variations on a theme?

JAMES: The cards say it's Sand Tomb!

JESSIE: I hate sand in my boots!

MEOWTH: Your boots are the least of our worries!

JESSIE: Dead weight!

HIPPOPOTAS: [SATISFIED]

ASH : Hippopotas!

ASH: Those were awesome moves! You're a strong Pokémon!J

ESSIE: Move away from my Harpo hemostat or every Twerp gets it,

- big time! - ASH: Aipom! I choose you!

AIPOM: [APPEARING]

ASH : Quick, use Focus Punch!

AIPOM: [FOCUS PUNCH MOVE]

JESSIE: We're blasting off prematurely!

ASH: All right, let's go!

HIPPOPOTAS: [YAWN MOVE]

DAWN: Hi, Mom. I won it.

ASH: A contest?

BROCK: Yeah! Dawn must eat, sleep and dream about contests!

ASH: Hey, I would

ASH: Okay, we're almost there.

DAWN: Hey, Ash, please be careful

BROCK: Remember, Hippopotas can't stand water, right?

ASH: We'll be fine! Hey, this'll be easy.

You just hang on nice and tight.

HIPPOPOTAS: [NERVOUS]

JESSIE: I see you. On a bridge too far!

- DAWN: Team Rocket! - ASH: Quick, run!

ASH: No you don't!

ASH: Knock it off!

ASH: [SCARED]

- DAWN: Ash! - BROCK: Now, Croagunk, go!

BROCK: All right, Poison Sting!

CROAGUNK: [POISON STING MOVE]

JESSIE: We're blasting off again!

ASH: Don't worry, I've got you!

HIPPOPOTAS: [FRIGHTENED] DAWN: Now, Buizel, go!

BUIZEL: [APPEARING]

BUIZEL: [EFFORT]

ASH: Buizel, I'm fine, so you carry Hippopotas to shore!

BUIZEL: [GASPING]

DAWN: Over here!

HIPPOPOTAS: [PANTING]

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

DAWN: Hippopotas looks sick

ASH: It must have come from getting all wet.

ASH: You know, I tried to protect you.

BROCK: Ash, there's a Pokémon Center up ahead.

Let's get Hippopotas there fast.

ASH: So, how's Hippopotas doing?

NURSE JOY: Much better. A nice long rest in lots of sand,

along with the medicine, and things will be just fine!

DAWN: Oh, that's great! PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

BROCK: Looks like it's all starting to work!

DAWN: Yeah, Hippopotas really loves to be in sand!

PIKACHU: [CONTENT]

NURSE JOY: Good! Things are moving along!

I hope we have enough sand to get rid of that water, though.

ASH: If you need sand, I can get lots of it!

NURSE JOY: Oh, that would be just great!

ASH: Staravia, remember we've got to find

some nice dry sand, okay?

STARAVIA: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: I'll tell you, Hippopotas,

you're gonna have so much of your favorite sand,

you'll be feeling good in no time!

- DAWN: Ash, slow down! - ASH: No, you speed up!

ASH: Oh no! The sand spilled everywhere.

ASH: You feeling better now? Now just take it easy.

HIPPOPOTAS: [RELAXED]

ASH: Look at you, up on your feet!

HIPPOPOTAS: [HAPPY]

NURSE JOY: I have to say that sand you brought back

- sure worked wonders. - DAWN: I'm so glad!

NURSE JOY: Now you be sure to eat every bite!

HIPPOPOTAS: [EXCITED]

NURSE JOY: Wow, that's the way!

BROCK: Nurse Joy, I was wondering if you had

something to satisfy my hunger for you

Though I know nothing can satisfy me

until you and I are standing side by side as one. Gaah!

Let's forget the standing part

CROAGUNK: [CROAKING]

ASH: Ready, Hippopotas? Let's go see your friends!

JESSIE [STALL OWNER]: Dry sand for sale!

We've got the driest sand on sea or land!

DAWN: Is that true?

JESSIE: Not only is it the driest,

but it has % of your daily vitamins and minerals!

HIPPOPOTAS: [YAWN MOVE]

JAMES: Our goal is to keep every Hippopotas happily healthy!

All of our ingredients are organically grown

and guaranteed fresh!

JESSIE: And after a hard day with the herd,

there's nothing like a dry dip in our soothing sand, you know?

JAMES: And if you're not completely satisfied,

simply return the unused portion for a less-than-full refund!

JESSIE: Okay? So! Try it once and be thanked over and over!

ASH: If it's that good, okay. Let's give it a sh*t!

JESSIE: Ha! We've got a Hypodermic pot.

MEOWTH: It's Hippopotas, you hayseed!

JAMES: You need speech therapy!

ASH: Team Rocket?

JESSIE: Listen, is that a Twerp I hear? Hmm?

JAMES: Obnoxiously loud and clear!

- JESSIE: On the wind - JAMES: Stars!

- MEOWTH: In your ear! - JESSIE: Bringing chaos at a

JAMES: Uh oh Dashing hope, putting fear in its place!

JAMES: A rose by any other name's just as sweet!

When everything's worse, our work is complete!

- JAMES: Jessie! - JAMES: and James!

MEOWTH: Meowth, now that's a name!

JAMES: Putting the do-gooders in their place!

- JESSIE: Yeah! - JAMES: We're Team Rocket.

- JAMES: In your face! - JESSIE: Yeah.

JAMES: Hippopotas is hopping away!

ASH: Nice running! You'll be fine!

But after what you did to Team Rocket, you won't be!

DAWN: Get ready for trouble. PIKACHU: [ANGRY]

BROCK: Make it double.

JAMES: Hey, no fair! Cacnea, come forth!

JAMES: No hugs until you teach them not to steal our old lines!

ASH: Now, go, Turtwig!

TURTWIG: [APPEARING]

JAMES: Cacnea, Pin m*ssile!

ASH: Turtwig! Dodge it and then use Bite!

TURTWIG: [EFFORT]

ASH: Turtwig, Razor Leaf, let's go!

CACNEA: [PAINED]

ASH: Now Tackle!

TURTWIG: [TACKLE MOVE]

ASH: Pikachu! Thunderbolt!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

JESSIE: How sweet. To be gently swept away by the special

someone that I hold dear. Hmm? This is no special someone,

it's a blastoff! I want a script change!

JAMES: Jessie, be careful what you wish for.

MEOWTH: They'll call Cassidy.

JESSIE: We're happy just the way we are!We're blasting off again!

BROCK: This is where the Hippopotas should've crossed!

DAWN: How can you tell? I don't see a thing!

BROCK: Look! Those are all Hippopotas footprints!

ASH: So now we know Hippopotas came this way!

BROCK: Yeah, and it looks like they're fresh footprints, too!

DAWN: Almost there.

ASH: Where are they?

DAWN: Good question.

HIPPOPOTAS: [CALLING]

HIPPOPOTAS X : [CURIOUS]

HIPPOPOTAS: [EXCITED]

DAWN: Look! They're all in the sand!

ASH: Awesome.

BROCK: After all this, I should've known.

ASH: Okay. We finally got you back here to your buddies!

HIPPOPOTAS: [EXCITED]

ASH: Check it out!

ASH: That's great.

ASH: Hippopotas! Look!

ASH: Catch!

HIPPOPOTAS: [EAGER]

ASH: You take care of yourself and don't get lost again, okay?

HIPPOPOTAS: [YAWN MOVE]

ASH: [SLEEPY]

BROCK: Well, I guess what goes around comes around.

DAWN: I think it's Hippopotas's way of saying thanks!

Hippopotas thinks Ash did so much to help,

he deserves a nice long rest.

BROCK: Maybe so.

PIKACHU: [SLEEPY]

NARRATOR: Wherever there's a Pokémon in need,

it seems our heroes are always there to lend a hand!

So in the wake of some grateful Hippopotas,

the journey to Hearthome City continues!
