10x52 - Smells Like Team Spirit!

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: As the Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition raged on,

Ash's Turtwig and Paul's Chimchar were brought together

as a result of the unlikely teaming of their Trainers!

But it was during the second round that Paul,

unhappy with Chimchar's performance

in its battle with Zangoose,

decided that he had had enough

and abandoned Chimchar without warning!

But at that same moment, Ash, seeing what happened,

decided to speak up

before a saddened Chimchar had a chance to leave.

ASH: Hey Chimchar, come with us!

CHIMCHAR: [SURPRISE]

ASH: Of course! We'll have a blast and work hard!

CHIMCHAR: [UNSURE]

CHIMCHAR: [UNSURE] PIKACHU: [ENCOURAGING]

TURTWIG: [ENCOURAGING]

ASH: You see.

The way you give it all you got is awesome!

I'd love working with a tough Pokémon like you!

CHIMCHAR: [SAD] / [SURPRISED]

PAUL: You deserve each other! You're both pathetic!

DAWN: Why that's an awful thing to say, Paul!

ASH: Just ignore him.

ASH: Chimchar and I are going to show Paul

just how wrong he can be!

CHIMCHAR: [UNSURE]

CHIMCHAR: [MOVED]

ASH: Chimchar, it'll be me and you!

CHIMCHAR: [THINKING] / [HAPPY]

ASH, DAWN, BROCK, PIKACHU, CHIMCHAR, PIPLUP: [SCREAM]

ASH: What's going on?

BROCK: Someone's using Pin m*ssile and b*llet Seed!

DAWN: But who?

JAMES: Compliments of Cacnea and Carnivine!

ASH: Chimchar, no!

JESSIE: Is that Chimchar calling for Pikachu I hear?

JAMES: Calling for us might bring you more cheer!

- 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, our work is complete!

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

MEOWTH: Meowth's the name!

JESSIE: Putting the do-gooders in their place!

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

WOBBUFFET: [AGREEMENT] MIME JR.: [MIMICKING]

ASH: All right Team Rocket, what do you want with Chimchar?

JAMES: There's none better at bringing some T.L.C.

to a hard-luck case like Chimchar than us!

JESSIE: We'll smooth the rough edges

with our hard-edged tactics!

MEOWTH: And a couple clangs from the Soothe Bell,

and we'll all be chilling!

JESSIE: That's not all! Join with us in the next minutes,

Chimchar, and we'll give you your own stanza

in the Team Rocket motto!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE] MIME JR.: [AGREEING]

DAWN: Poor Chimchar!

ASH: I've had enough of this! How about you?

JAMES: Cacnea, Carnivine! Sic them!

CHIMCHAR: [CONCERNED]

JESSIE: I think this is going to be a groovy day!

JAMES: Full of fun, fun, fun! Got to run!

MEOWTH: Getting out while the getting is good!

ASH: Chimchar! Don't worry! We'll get you out of there!

CHIMCHAR: [TOUCHED] / [FOCUS]

JESSIE: Oh dear! Flaming rage?

JAMES: No, Chimchar's just stoking its Flamethrower

to give our balloon a little push!

MEOWTH: Hey, it's nice to see one of the team

being nice for a change!

CHIMCHAR: [ATTACKING]

JESSIE: See? Chimchar fits right in!

MEOWTH: Yeah, like a fist in a glove.

JAMES: Well half a groovy day is better than none!

JAMES: We're blasting off again!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: I'm coming Chimchar!

PIKACHU, TURTWIG, PIPLUP: [CONCERN]

ASH: Chimchar, you okay?

CHIMCHAR: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: Man was that an awesome Flamethrower!

TURTWIG: PIPLUP: CHIMCHAR: [AGREEING]

ASH: What do you say you come with us?

PIPLUP, TURTWIG, PIKACHU: [CHEERING] CHIMCHAR: [HAPPY]

ASH: Okay! Chimchar you ready?

CHIMCHAR: [EXERTION]

ASH: All right then. I got Chimchar!

PIPLUP, TURTWIG, PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

DAWN: One way to catch a Pokémon!

BROCK: Yeah!

PROFESSOR OAK: Oh, so you've got a Chimchar now, eh?

ASH: Yeah! And man what a hard worker!

PIKACHU: [AGREEING] CHIMCHAR: [HAPPY]

PROFESSOR OAK: I see. Well, remember that just as Pokémon

and Trainer work with each other to get stronger,

the same thing holds true for Trainers!

ASH: Hold on. What do you mean?

PROFESSOR OAK: I'm speaking of you

and your Tag Battle partner, Ash!

ASH: Oh, you mean Paul.

PROFESSOR OAK: With only two battles left to go,

- I'm sure you'd like to win! - ASH: Sure!

PROFESSOR OAK: You do your best,

and you're sure to b*at the rest!

CHIMCHAR: [CHEERING]

DAWN: He just recited a poem!

DAWN: "You do your best

and you're sure to b*at the rest." See?

ENTA: The first match of the quarterfinals is history!

And the first team to move into the quarterfinals

is that of Dawn and Conway, which on day three has their

great combinations looking sharper than ever!

ENTA: So now let's bring out

the quarterfinal second battle teams!

ENTA: It's the team of Brock and Holly,

versus the team of Ash and Paul!

ASH: Chimchar!

I want you to keep a sharp eye on what's going on, okay?

HOLLY: I know you and Ash are friends, but don't hold back!

BROCK: No way! As a former Gym leader,

I know how tough you have to be if you want to win!

I'm not going to go easy on anybody!

HOLLY: That's the spirit!

BROCK: We've come too far not to give it our all!

CONWAY: Just think Dawn,

we're going to be facing whoever wins this battle!

DAWN: It's Ash or Brock!

JAMES: It's a Twerp free-for-all!

MEOWTH: Yeah a two-sided Twerp-fest!

JESSIE: They should call it on account of stupidity.

WOBBUFFET: [AGREE]

ASH: Staravia! I choose you!

PAUL: Torterra, stand by for battle!

BROCK: Now, Croagunk, let's go!

HOLLY: Farfetch'd, you're the one!

TORTERRA: [APPEARING]

STARAVIA: [APPEARING]

CROAGUNK: [APPEARING]

FARFETCH'D: [APPEARING]

DAWN: Now what's that?

POKEDEX: Farfetch'd. The Wild Duck Pokémon. that it holds like a sword,

Using the green onion

Farfetch'd can slice through a variety of objects.

DAWN: Wow, so that's a Farfetch'd!

CONWAY: Quite an interesting assortment of Pokémon!

ENTA: All right. battle begin!

ASH: I'm not going easy on Brock!

Now Staravia, Aerial Ace on Croagunk!

BROCK: Poison Jab, quick!

CROAGUNK: [POSION JAB MOVE]

HOLLY: Now Farfetch'd! Use Air Slash!

FARFETCH'D: [AIR SLASH MOVE]

PAUL: Hyper Beam!

TORTERRA: [HYPER BEAM MOVE] STARAVIA: [YELP]

FARFETCH'D: [GRUNT]

- HOLLY: Oh my! - BROCK: That's some power!

- ASH: Staravia! - DAWN: Staravia!

CONWAY: If that Aerial Ace manages to make direct contact,

we just might be witnessing the end result of a knock out

by a single blow!

FARFETCH'D: [DAZED]

JUDGE: Farfetch'd's unable to battle!

HOLLY: No! No!

ENTA: And Farfetch'd is down in a flash!

Torterra's power is undeniable!

ASH: You didn't have to hit Staravia!

PAUL: Your Staravia's just too slow!

HOLLY: Brock, I'm sorry!

BROCK: Now don't worry. I'd say it's time.

Croagunk, use Brick Break on Torterra!

DAWN: But, Torterra's not attacking!

CONWAY: After pulling off a Hyper Beam,

you have to recharge...

which makes a perfect time to strike!

ASH: Staravia, Aerial Ace, one more time!

CROAGUNK: [RUNNING]

BROCK: Croagunk! Staravia's right behind you!

CROAGUNK: [CROAKING] TORTERRA: [SURPRISE]

ASH: What the...

STARAVIA: [DODGE] CROAGUNK: [EXERTION]

ENTA: And Croagunk is situated directly

in Torterra's blind spot!

CROAGUNK: [BRICK BREAK MOVE] TORTERRA: [GROAN]

- HOLLY: Direct hit! - BROCK: Poison Jab once more!

ASH: Staravia, turn around now!

PAUL: Stay out of this!

CROAGUNK: [DISMAYED]

CONWAY: Looks like Torterra's moving again.

PAUL: Leaf Storm, go! TORTERRA: [ROAR]

BROCK: Croagunk, get out of there!

CROAGUNK: [YELLING]

STARAVIA: [CONCERNED] [SURPRISED]

JUDGE: Croagunk's unable to battle!

Torterra and Staravia are the winners!

ENTA: And that's the second battle!

Croagunk and Farfetch'd just couldn't stand up

to Torterra's ferocious att*cks!

BROCK: Thanks Croagunk. You did your best!

HOLLY: I'm sorry. It was all my fault!

BROCK: Holly, you mustn't blame yourself!

It's all part of battling!

STARAVIA: [HAPPY]

ASH: Staravia, you were great!

PAUL: What did you two do anyway?

CHIMCHAR: [ANGRY]

CHIMCHAR: [SCARED] [WHIMPER]

ENTA: Now the final match is finally on its way!

And all the action begins later this afternoon!

BROCK: What? What do you mean she just left?

NURSE JOY: You see Brock; she told me it was all her fault

that you lost the Tag Battle in the first place!

So she was going to spend every waking hour

training as hard as she could so she could become

the kind of Tag Team partner you deserved!

ASH: Hey, that sounds cool to me!

DAWN: See Brock, no need to worry!

BROCK: Great, I finally find a woman

who really likes me for what I am.

Ash. You get out there and show them who's the boss,

- and you do it for me! - ASH: Sure!

DAWN: You sound totally psyched!

- ASH: So do you Dawn! - NURSE JOY: Oh Paul.?

I'm all finished taking care of your Torterra

so good luck in the final match this afternoon!

PAUL: Thank you very much!

ENTA: All right folks, this is it! The final match of the

Hearthome City Tag Battle competition,

in our warm and kind city where hearts meet!

And very soon, for their winning performance,

one of our most gifted Tag Battle teams

will receive the magnificent Soothe Bell!

MEOWTH: Ah. a pause for the cause.

JAMES: And since Chimchar decided to set up shop with

the Twerps, they'll need that bell more than us!

JESSIE: Save your generosity,

'cause I'm looking out for num

ASH: All right, there's only one Pokémon

I want to get this job done!

DAWN: Chimchar?

BROCK: I had a feeling Ash would do that.

PAUL: Elekid standby for battle!

ELEKID: [DETERMINED]

CHIMCHAR: [WORRIED]

ASH: Don't worry! You're working with me now!

PIKACHU: [REASSURING] CHIMCHAR: [AFFIRMATIVE]

CONWAY: The fact that Ash has chosen to bring Chimchar

into the battle leaves no doubt this line up

is destined to make things quite interesting.

- CONWAY: Heracross, go! - DAWN: Buizel, go!

BUIZEL: [APPEARING] HERACROSS: [APPEARING]

POKEDEX: Heracross. The Single Horn Pokémon.

Using the sharp claws on its feet it generates enough power

to throw its opponent with amazing force.

DAWN: You two are gonna be great!

ASH: No surprise with Dawn's Buizel,

and as far as Conway's Heracross.

ASH: Chimchar's Fire-type moves

could cause Heracross some real damage!

ENTA: All right, battle begin!

ASH: Chimchar, use Flamethrower on Heracross!

CHIMCHAR: [FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

PAUL: Elekid, Thunder!

ELEKID: [att*ck]

ENTA: Chimchar and Elekid could both create

some serious problems for their opponents!

DAWN: Quick Buizel! Use Aqua Jet on Chimchar, now!

CHIMCHAR: [SURPRISE] [GRUNT]

BUIZEL: [LAND]

ENTA: Great work by Buizel

as Aqua Jet stops Chimchar in its tracks!

CONWAY: Revenge! HERACROSS: [FOCUSED]

ENTA: And Heracross protects Buizel using careful timing!

But look out.

HERACROSS: [SURPRISE]

ENTA: And again! Revenge is sweet with a second strike,

which means twice the power with one sh*t!

ASH: Look Paul if we don't start battling these guys together,

- we're going lose this time! - PAUL: So what if we do?

ASH: You do what you want but I'm going win this thing!

Chimchar, use Dig, let's go!

- DAWN: What do we do? - CONWAY: No time to worry!

For right now we have to deal with Elekid just as we planned!

DAWN: Right! All right Buizel! Aqua Jet!

- PAUL: Protect! - CONWAY: Perfect!

DAWN: And now Buizel, jump!

CONWAY: Feint! HERACROSS: [EXERTION]

PAUL: Heracross can use Feint?

HERACROSS: [FEINT MOVE] ELEKID: [SURPRISED]

- ASH: Protect's been smashed! - DAWN: Here goes!

ENTA: What a Feint! And the team of Dawn and Conway

makes a perfect combination!

Feint is quite effective against opponentsusing Protect or Detect

it can actually cause damage

against either of those defensive moves.

A useful tool indeed.

BROCK: This is going to be rough for Paul,

since he's always used Protect to avoid att*cks in the past!

DAWN: Water g*n, now! BUIZEL: [WATER g*n MOVE]

ELEKID: [BRACING]

BUIZEL: [SURPRISE]

CHIMCHAR: [DIG MOVE] BUIZEL: [YELP]

ENTA: Chimchar comes out of nowhere with a successful Dig!

- DAWN: Buizel! - CONWAY: Counterattack!

DAWN: Quick, Aqua Jet! BUIZEL: [AQUA JET MOVE]

CHIMCHAR: [SURPRISE]

ASH: You okay, Chimchar?

PIKACHU: [URGING] CHIMCHAR: [ANGRY]

ASH: Use Flamethrower on Heracross! Go!

DAWN: Water g*n quick!

CHIMCHAR: [FLAMETHROWER MOVE] BUIZEL: [WATER g*n MOVE]

PAUL: Thunder Punch! ELEKID: [JUMP]

CONWAY: Megahorn!

HERACROSS: [MEGAHORN MOVE] ELEKID: [THUNDER PUNCH MOVE]

ENTA: And it's a Megahorn and Thunder Punch

with evenly matched, vicious power!

HERACROSS: [GRUNT]

CHIMCHAR: [SURPRISE] CHIMCHAR: [CONCERN]

ELEKID: [GROWL]

CHIMCHAR: [SCARED] ELEKID: [FOCUS] [EVOLVE]

ASH: Now what? PIKACHU: [SHOCK]

PAUL: So it all starts here!

DAWN: Is that what I think it is?

CONWAY: That's right Elekid's beginning to evolve!

ELECTABUZZ: [APPEARING]

ENTA: Elekid evolves into Electabuzz before our eyes!

- DAWN: I've got to see! - POKEDEX: Electabuzz.

The Electric Pokémon and evolved form of Elekid.

It appears near power generators and because it eats electricity,

- it can cause blackouts. - PAUL: Electabuzz, Thunder!

ENTA: Electabuzz appears to be gathering tremendous power!

CONWAY: All right, I think we should att*ck first,

just to make sure they don't get the upper hand!

- DAWN: Right! - CONWAY: Heracross,

Megahorn on Electabuzz!

DAWN: Buizel, use Water g*n on Chimchar!

ASH: Dodge and use Flamethrower!

CHIMCHAR: [FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

HERACROSS: [HIT]

PAUL: Thunder, go!

ELECTABUZZ: [THUNDER MOVE]

BUIZEL: [JUMP]

- DAWN: No! - CONWAY: Watch out!

HERACROSS: [GROAN]

BUIZEL: [GROAN]

CHIMCHAR, ELECTABUZZ: [FOCUS]

ASH: All right Chimchar, awesome move!

- DAWN: Buizel, no! - CONWAY: Heracross!

ENTA: Those Flamethrower and Thunder moves blended together

perfectly for an effective new combination!

Now, will Heracross and Buizel counter?

PIKACHU: [SURPRISE]

BUIZEL: [GROWL]

DAWN: They're all right!

BUIZEL, HERACROSS: [GRUNT]

- DAWN: Oh no! - CONWAY: Heracross!

ENTA: Have Buizel and Heracross reached the end?

JUDGE: Buizel and Heracross are unable to battle!

The winners are Chimchar and Electabuzz!

ENTA: And there you have it!

The victory in this year's Hearthome City

Tag Battle Competition goes to Ash and Paul!

ASH: Yeah, we did it! We did it! All right!

- JESSIE: Chimmy's number one! - JAMES: Nice guys finish first!

MEOWTH: Okay, just this one time!!

WOBBUFFET: [CRYING] CHIMCHAR: [EXCITED]

ASH: See Chimchar? You're the best!

- DAWN: Thank you, Buizel! - CONWAY: You too, Heracross!

You battled really hard right through to the end!

ASH: Wow Paul, everything totally changed for the better

after your Elekid evolved into Electabuzz you know?

PAUL: You're so pathetic! That Flamethrower of Chimchar's

should've put Heracross out on the spot,

but it was still standing up! If not for Electabuzz's Thunder,

we couldn't've won!

You two deserve each other just like I said!

ASH: Talk all you want! Chimchar was awesome. I knew it!

And we're just gonna keep getting stronger!

CHIMCHAR: [HAPPY] PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

ENTA: Yes, there were a few scary moments, but I think

this Tag Battle challenge has brought out something new,

and exciting, in you both!

So now I'm pleased to present you each

- with a Soothe Bell! - ASH: Thank you very much!

ENTA: And let's also give a big hand to all the other Pokémon

who battled so hard during the competition!

BROCK: If you ask me,

Paul's greatest reward was his Elekid evolving!

DAWN: Well don't forget, he only did this

so he could power up his Pokémon!

CONWAY: It's rather ironic that the least well-suited team

managed to win the Tag battle!

I guess every rule has to have an exception!

JAMES: Chimchar certainly demonstrated

the fight in fighting spirit. A nice end to a nice day!

MEOWTH: Nice to have a nice end to a nice day!

JESSIE: Nice to feel nice about having a nice. Wait, the bell!

ASH: I just got a Soothe Bell!

DAWN: That's great Ash! You earned this!

ASH: Hey, thanks Dawn!

DAWN: It's never fun losing a competition,

but we'll win the next one, right?

BROCK: This was great! A nice change of pace!

DAWN: No need to worry! It's Paul!

- ASH: What was that for? - PAUL: I have no need for that!

ASH: Don't mind him! We're a team now!

CONWAY: Say, I've got an idea!

Why not head to the Veilstone Gym in Veilstone City?

BROCK: Hey Ash. Isn't Veilstone City where Paul is from?

ASH: Yeah! Next stop? It's Veilstone City!

And then, I'll get my third Sinnoh Gym badge for sure!

NARRATOR: As the Hearthome City Tag Battle competition

winds down with all our heroes as skilled participants,

Ash claims victory once again,

along with a new member of the family!

But the Sinnoh excitement is just heating up,

so you've got to stay tuned for all the action!
