11x17 - Enter Galactic!

Post by bunniefuu »

NARRATOR: A mind-boggling combination of strength

and strategy added up to a sizzling three-on-three

Gym battle between Ash and Maylene at

the Veilstone City Gym,

culminating in a draw between challenger and Gym Leader!

NARRATOR: However, recognizing Ash's exceptional determination,

Maylene nonetheless awarded our Hero the coveted Cobble Badge,

much to everyone's excitement!

On a road, far from home,

you don't have to feel alone.

Brave and strong,

together we will be.

It's our destiny!

We will be heroes,

We can change the world if we try!

I go where you go,

Forever friends, you and I!

We will be heroes!

Battle Dimension Pokémon!

REGGIE: Maylene gave me all the details!

It must have been intense if it ended in a draw!

ASH: Yeah! The Pokémon totally gave it their all!

PIKACHU: [PROUD]

BROCK: True, the Pokémon deserve a lot of credit,

but I think we have to thank Dawn as well!

ASH: You're right Brock!

ASH: Dawn's battle with Maylene

was the thing that brought back Maylene's battling spirit!

PIKACHU: [AGREEING]

DAWN: Well, let's just say I was going to do anything

I could to see an awesome Gym Battle between Ash and Maylene!

PIPLUP: [DIGNIFIED]

DAWN: So, Reggie, why don't you fill us in

on where we're all headed now?

REGGIE: Can't wait, huh? Relax, you'll see.

REGGIE: You like it? Pretty neat, huh?

REGGIE: Since you're all leaving Veilstone City

bright and early tomorrow,

I wanted you to see our city landmarks tonight!

ASH: City landmarks, huh? You mean those bunch of rocks?

PIKACHU: [CONFUSED]

DAWN: Ash those aren't ordinary rocks!

DAWN: Those rocks are meteorites, right Reggie?

REGGIE: Right! Exactly!

ASH: Meteorites? PIKACHU: [CURIOUS]

BROCK: There're so many! PIPLUP: [CURIOUS]

DAWN: These meteorites are part of what

put Veilstone City on the map!

REGGIE: You see, our city's been called The City Hewn From Rock

and these meteorites are part of it!

DAWN: I knew I had read that

Veilstone City was built surrounding meteorites!

REGGIE: Right! The truth is these meteorites have been

honored as Guardians since way back in ancient times!

REGGIE: Of course, as the meteorites' fame grew,

people started traveling here from all over to see them!

And that's how Veilstone City gradually began taking shape.

REGGIE: Now, the grateful people of our fair city

are watched over by all of our Guardians.

PIPLUP: [AWED]

PIKACHU: [AWED]

ASH: Wow, the meteorites are guardians!

DAWN: It's so exciting to wonder about where they came from!

I just love an awesome mystery like this!

BROCK: Yeah. Think of people from all over the world moving

here all those years ago,

creating what turns out to be Veilstone City!

MALE GALACTIC GRUNT: Commander Saturn,

welcome to Veilstone Base.

FEMALE GALACTIC GRUNT: May I carry that?

SATURN: This is a special item I'm bringing to our leader!

I'll carry it myself.

PIKACHU: [IMPRESSED]

DAWN: Ash it's so great that you've got three Gym Badges now!

PIPLUP: [IMPRESSSED]

ASH: Thanks Dawn, but I'm still going to need five more

to get into the Sinnoh League!

This's no time to get too confident!

PIKACHU: [AGREEING] DAWN: Hey no need to worry!

Those five are coming in no time!

ASH: But don't forget, I didn't get the Cobble Badge

by defeating Maylene fair and square.

BROCK: Come on! She gave you that badge

because she recognized you

and your Pokémons' strength

and determination so you really ought to be proud!

ASH: Yeah, you're right.

That means I've got to keep on battling super-hard,

and prove what Maylene did was the right thing!

So buddy, are you with me all the way?

PIKACHU: [ENTHUSIASTIC]

BROCK: Now that's the spirit!

PIPLUP: [OPTIMISTIC]

BROCK: So.let's see now.

BROCK: Why don't we figure out your next Gym!

ASH: Yeah that's a great idea!

JOY: From here I would think Pastoria City's a good choice.

ASH: You think? Maybe so.

JOY: There's a resort on the shores of Lake Valor

right on the way, so you can break for a little rest!

JOY: I've heard the Gym Leader there

is an expert with Water-type Pokémon as well!

ASH: Water-types, cool! Next stop, Pastoria City!

PIKACHU: [DETERMINED]

BROCK: Perhaps, you'd like to come too?

And together we'll find what we've been seeking. A love,

our love, burning with a fire deep within our hearts!

CROAGUNK: [DISAPPROVING] BROCK: Of course,

fire burns in other places as well.

JOY: Dear!

CROAGUNK: [AMUSED][DRAGGING]

ASH, DAWN, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [UNCOMFORTABLE]

ASH: Hey, Dawn! What's going on with your next Contest?

DAWN: Ash, you'll never guess! We're right in the middle

of working on a brand new combination!

PIPLUP: [CONCERNED]

SATURN: Attention please!

SATURN: Our next targets

are the meteorites surrounding Veilstone City!

SATURN: If the Cube is successful,

then that event will give us the necessary key that unlocks

the mystery of our operation's next stage!

SATURN: Then, after plan completion,

we'll destroy this base and evacuate.

It's vitally important we leave absolutely no sign

of our presence here!

GALACTIC GRUNTS: Yes Sir!

JESSIE: Those rocks are more valuable

than the one in the Boss's pinky ring!

WOBBUFFET: [EAGER]

JAMES: Train your eyes on the way they just lay there,

like the whole lot of them are longing for us to lock

and load them away!

MEOWTH: Yippee yay! Here we make off with the meteorites,

the meteorites, the meteorites!

JESSIE: Now that's a nursery rhyme I can live by!

Profound words bringing profound wealth!

JAMES: Of course-carrying them will cause a profound hernia!

WOBBUFFET, MEOWTH, JESSIE: [HORRIFIED]

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH,WOBBUFFET: [SURPRISED]

SATURN: It's reacting!

Just as our leader said it would!

MEOWTH, JAMES, JESSIE, WOBBUFFET: [FEARFUL]

-DAWN: Whoa... -ASH: That's weird.

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED] PIPLUP: [WORRIED]

REGGIE: What's going on there?

ELECTABUZZ: [WORRIED]

LUCARIO: [ALERT]

MAYLENE: You sense something too Lucario don't you?

LUCARIO: [UNEASY]

SATURN: There! The Spear Key!

SATURN: Those meteorites

and the Spear Key are made of the exact same material!

SATURN: Saturn here! We've detected the target!

Prepare for signal jamming!

OPERATOR: As you wish!

MEOWTH: Hey, they split!

JESSIE: Why the quick exit?

JAMES: Please don't take this the wrong way

but perhaps Meowth's singing scared them.

WOBBUFFET: [MOCKING]

DAWN: Whoa, the light is gone!

PIPLUP: [SURPRISED]

ASH: What was it?

PIKACHU: [WORRIED]

REGGIE: Yeah okay. I'm coming.

PAUL: It's me. Hi.

PAUL: So, you need to send me Electabuzz

since we're preparing for the Pastoria Gym.

REGGIE: Pastoria huh? Guess it is Electabuzz's turn.

ELECTABUZZ: [REMINDING]

REGGIE: That's right! Your old friend Ash has been here!

REGGIE: You know, the Trainer with the Pikachu

that uses Volt Tackle you told me about?

Interesting guy. I like him!

PAUL: Well I suppose you would.

REGGIE: Guess what? He earned the Cobble Badge today!

PAUL: So what? Anyone could win at the Veilstone Gym.

SATURN: Begin jamming!

OPERATOR: Roger! Jamming equipment activated!

REGGIE: What happened?

OFFICER B: A strange magnetic wave

is blanketing Veilstone City!

OFFICER A: Communications with the outside world

have been cut off!

OFFICER B: Oh no, our radar is down too!

Something is jamming the whole grid!

JENNY: Emergency mode now!

JENNY: Scramble all of our communications

and run all information through me first!

JENNY: We've got to find the source of that interference!

CROWD, BROCK, ASH, DAWN, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [UNEASY]

BROCK: Nurse Joy! What happened?

NURSE JOY: I'm afraid something's gone terribly wrong

with all of our medical equipment!

NURSE JOY: And it's affecting the recovery of the Pokémon!

ASH: What? PIKACHU: [ALARMED]

-DAWN: And you don't know why? -MAYLENE: Nurse Joy!

DAWN, ASH, BROCK, PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

NURSE JOY: It's Maylene!

MAYLENE: Lucario and I sensed something was wrong

so we came as quickly as we could!

We've got to figure this out and fast!

LUCARIO: [CONCERNED]

MEOWTH, JESSIE, JAMES: That hair!

MEOWTH, JESSIE, JAMES: And that wardrobe!

SATURN: Start meteorite collection!

JAMES: Upscale equipment!

MEOWTH: Yowsa! Too rich for our bank account!

JESSIE: Will you yahoos stop nickel and diming!

Those are our meteors they're making off with!

MAYLENE: Lucario says it has something to do with

the meteorites in the park!

BROCK: Did you call Officer Jenny?

MAYLENE: The phones are dead

so I sent Connally out as messenger!

ASH: Check out the helicopters!

ASH: They've been hovering above the park all day long!

JESSIE: I will not witness my meteorites being manhandled

by a bunch of bowl-headed fashion freaks!

JAMES, MEWOTH: What?

MEOWTH: But the place is crawling with bowl heads!

JESSIE: Have you two ninnies forgotten

that Team Rocket's middle name is pride?

MALE GRUNT: What are you doing here?

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH, WOBBUFFET: [STARTLED]

SATURN: Not you losers again!

JESSIE: Your stupid team has much more to lose!

JAMES: Look in the mirror at the haircuts you choose!

-JESSIE: Cutting edge? -JAMES: Funny joke.

MEOWTH: What a ruse!

JESSIE: We're bringing chaos at a break-neck pace!

SATURN: Toxicroak, go!

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: James!

MEOWTH: Meowth, that's a name!

SATURN: Sludge b*mb Toxicroak!

JESSIE: Putting the fashion freaks in their place!

TOXICROAK: [SLUDGE b*mb MOVE] JAMES: Team Rocket!

JESSIE, MEOWTH, JAMES: In your. face!

JESSIE, MEOWTH, JAMES, WOBBUFFET: [SURPRISED]

ASH: It's Team Rocket!

MAYLENE: But where are the meteorites?

DAWN: And who are they?

ASH: Team Rocket! Those guys friends of yours?

JESSIE: Sure! Best. Friends. Like. You!

ASH: What about that Pokémon?

POKEDEX: Toxicroak. The Toxic Mouth Pokémon,

and the evolved form of Croagunk.

The poison produced in its sacs is carried through tubes

in its arms to its knuckle claws.

MEOWTH: Fashion freaks or not,

they stole our meteorites and they're no friends of ours!

DAWN: Fashion? Since when?

PIPLUP: [CONFUSED]

BROCK: Hey, I think I remember them now!

JAMES: We were generously commissioned by

a fashionably dressed fan of Team Rocket's

to steal it for his collection of rocks!

ASH: That's right! In Eterna City!

UNOWN: [PEACEFUL]

UNOWN: [AGITATED]

DAWN: They're all no good!

ASH: What are you guys up to?

SATURN: Toxicroak, Dark Pulse!

ASH: Man oh man!

MAYLENE: It didn't do a thing!

SATURN: We don't care about your landmarks.

SATURN: But these meteorites must take the necessary forms!

ASH: What the?

DAWN: What're you talking about?

SATURN: We're talking about the

necessary forms to build the new world!

ASH: Sounds bad to me! PIKACHU: [AGREEING]

TOXICROAK: [THREATENING]

ASH, BROCK, DAWN, MAYLENE, PIPLUP: [SURPRISED]

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH, WOBBUFFET: [SURPRISED]

JENNY: Maylene, thanks for the tipoff!

MAYLENE: My civic duty!

JAMES: They make me sick....

JESSIE: At least the heat's off us.

MEOWTH: Yeah let bowl brain take the rap!

WOBBUFFET: [CAUTIOUS]

JENNY: You took the meteorites, right?

All communications are down because of your tricks!

SATURN: Maybe. And maybe not.

BROCK: I'll bet they're responsible for the

Pokémon Center breakdowns!

JENNY: And not just the Pokémon Center

but every piece of equipment across Veilstone City!

ASH, DAWN, BROCK, MAYLENE, LUCARIO, PIPLUP: [ASTONISHED]

JENNY: You think the Sinnoh Special Police

aren't aware of all the behind-the-scenes activity

going on lately?

JENNY: Well you're busted!

You're a part of those super-secret criminals!

JENNY: .Team Galactic!

ASH: Team Galactic?

JESSIE: They stole Team!

JAMES: Rip offs in nice clothes.

MEOWTH: But that hair? Forget about it!

JENNY: Tell me exactly what you're planning

to do with those meteorites!

SATURN: That would be a big waste of time.

But, I will say it's all part of our plan.

CROAGUNK: [EMBARRASSED]

JENNY: I'm sure we haven't seen the last of those criminals,

no doubt! If we only knew more about Team Galactic's plans.

JESSIE: Team Galactic-schmactic!

JESSIE: When those Galactic g*ons start mixing it up

they don't fool around!

JAMES: I'm still trying to decipher that new world speak.

MEOWTH: You took the speak right out of my mouth!

But, it don't matter cause when I get my paws on them

I'll send them to that new world!

JAMES: That's the kind of moxie I respect!

JESSIE: And just the brand of bait we need

to bag the Boss's respect!

miss even a second of the action and adventure! So stay tuned!
