11x32 - Hungry for the Good Life!

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: Now that Ash has marked his battle with Crasher

Wake in the winner's column and has a Fen Badge to show for it,

it's back to Hearthome City!

ASH: Can't wait for our next Gym Battle back in Hearthome City!

What do you say we win it, too?

PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE] / [SURPRISE]

ASH, DAWN, BROCK, PIPLUP: [SURPRISE]

DAWN: I guess that's it with nice weather for a while.

PIPLUP: [AFFIRMATIVE]

BROCK: Looks like thunderstorms!

CLEFFA: [GREETING]

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!

[ASH READS ON-SCREEN TEXT]

CLEFFA: [GREETING]

ASH: It's a Cleffa!

POKEDEX: Cleffa, the Star Shape Pokémon.

It has the silhouette of a star in the night sky,

and some believe that Cleffa ride on sh**ting stars.

CLEFFA: [HAPPY]

DAWN: It all sounds kind of romantic if you ask me!

MONICA: Cleffa? Cleffa?

MONICA: Oh, so this is where you are!

BROCK: Whoa!

MONICA: I was worried about you!

Please don't go so far away again!

DAWN: That Cleffa is so cute! Is it your Pokémon?

MONICA: Oh no!

This Cleffa actually belongs to the master of the house!

ASH: Master of what house?

MONICA: I mean the owner of that mansion, Mr. Backlot!

MONICA: I'm Monica, Mister Backlot's housekeeper!

ASH: I'm Ash, and I'm from Pallet Town!

PIKACHU: [GREETING]

DAWN: Nice to meet you! I'm Dawn!

PIPLUP: [GREETING]

BROCK: And my given name is Brock!

BROCK: Dear Monica, I swear!

I would never even think of going far away from you.

So promise you'll stay by my side!

Sore that it is!

CROAGUNK: [AMUSED]

PIPLUP: [WORRIED]

DAWN: Oh no! It's coming down in sheets!

MONICA: You're welcome to come back to the mansion!

It's right this way!

ASH, DAWN, BROCK, CROAGUNK, PIPLUP, PIKACHU: [URGENT]

BACKLOT: Well, well, well, well, well, well!

BACKLOT: It's truly a pleasure

to welcome all of you into my home!

Relax and stay as long as you'd like.

ASH: Thanks! That's really nice of you, sir!

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

DAWN: You have such a beautiful home, Mister Backlot!

PIPLUP: [AWE]

MONICA: Okay! You all must be starving by now!

IGGLYBUFF A & B: [EXCITED]

PICHU A & B & C: [EXCITED]

AZURILL: [EXCITED]

MONICA: Sorry it took so long!

Now go ahead and eat as much you want!

BACKLOT: Cute huh? I think so too!

They're my pride and joy!

ASH: Does that mean these Pokémon are all yours?

BACKLOT: Correct!

I've gathered quite a few Pokémon from here and there.

They love to play in my Trophy Garden!

DAWN: A garden?

MONICA: That's where I ran into all of you

when it started to rain!

BACKLOT: Quite beautiful, isn't it?

Wish you could have one?

MONICA: Mister Backlot has opened up his property

to all kinds of Pokémon Trainers,

watchers and breeders alike!

And when the weather is nice, they all play outside!

Mister Backlot is a very generous man!

BROCK: And it's obvious!

What a great way for people and Pokémon to be close!

PIKACHU: [AGREE]

PIPLUP: [PLEADING]

DAWN: Oh you're hungry too, aren't you?

Okay, snack time for everyone!

-ASH: Good idea! -BROCK: Here, here!

DAWN: All right, everybody out here for some good eats!

ASH: You heard what she said, let's go!

BROCK: That means you, too! And bring out your appetites!

CROAGUNK, BUIZEL, CHIMCHAR,

AMBIPOM, PACHIRISU, GLIGAR: [EXCITED]

PIPLUP, AMBIPOM, BUNEARY, PACHIRISU: [HAPPY EATING]

DAWN: There are plenty of Poffins to go around,

so no need to worry! SWINUB: [OVERJOYED]

DAWN, PIPLUP, AMBIPOM, BUNEARY, PACHIRISU: [SURPRISED]

SWINUB: [OVERJOYED]

IGGLYBUFF A&B, PICHU A, B, &C, AZURILL: [SURPRISED]

SWINUB, : [HAPPY]

DAWN, PACHIRISU, AMBIPOM, BUNEARY, PIPLUP: [PANIC]

BACKLOT: Monica, quick! Please do something!

MONICA: Uh, yes Sir!

ASH: Swinub can sure put it away!

BROCK: But with such a small body,

where does it all go?

SWINUB: [HAPPY] / [CURIOUS]

BUNEARY, AMBIPOM, PIPLUP, PACHIRISU: [ANGRY]

PIKACHU: [PLEADING]

MONICA: Here you go! This should keep you happy!

SWINUB: [HAPPY]

MONICA: Your Poffins are safe now, so you can all relax!

BACKLOT: That hungry Swinub lives in the forest near here!

Lately, we've been getting more and more visits.

BROCK: So it's not your Pokémon, Mr. Backlot?

BACKLOT: No! My lovely garden's quite a draw for Swinub,

and the Poffins don't hurt either.

DAWN: Nothing like a little nap after a meal!

MONICA: Sorry about this!

I'll have some fresh Poffins ready for you all in no time!

BACKLOT: Now why don't all of you join us

for a lovely dinner this evening?

You can sleep here tonight,

and then enjoy the gardens tomorrow!

A great idea, I must say!

ASH: Thank you so much Mister Backlot! We'd love to!

MEOWTH: Those first-class digs are crawling

with cutie-pie Pokémon, and it's got Twerps, too!

MEOWTH: It's the perfect setup for us

to pocket those little puddings and Pikachu!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

JESSIE: But that Swinub stays put!

JAMES: Pragmatic!

If that gorging little gormandizer

got its pudgy little paws on our paltry provisions,

we'd be eaten out of house and home in a Hearthome heartbeat!

JESSIE: Regardless of what you just said, I think we agree!

Let's go!

ASH, BROCK, DAWN: Whoa, that was delicious!

BACKLOT: Monica's quite a wonderful chef, isn't she?

I'm very lucky to have her on staff!

DAWN: Yeah, you sure are!

BROCK: I feel like I'm pretty lucky, too!

BACKLOT: I would imagine you'd like to eat this way every day,

now wouldn't you?

MONICA: Excuse me. Dawn would you care for another cup of tea?

DAWN: Thanks! I'd love one!

I have a favor to ask you Monica:

May I have the use of your kitchen later on?

MONICA: Of course! But-what for?

MONICA: I see! You're all making Poffins to give to your Pokémon!

DAWN: Now that I've got the right recipe,

I can't make enough for Piplup and the whole g*ng!

PIPLUP: [HAPPY]

MONICA: Hold on!

MONICA: These are some berries from our garden.

I think you'll discover if you add

a few of these into your Poffin mixture,

your Pokémon will thank you!

DAWN: That's so awesome! Thank you!

BROCK: When it comes to tasty and healthy treats,

anything Monica puts her seal of approval on has gotta be great!

ASH: Man, these Poffins are gonna make history!

PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

MONICA: The Hearthome Gym?

ASH: Right! And once I get all the badges I need,

I'm gonna enter the Sinnoh League!

Isn't that right Pikachu? PIKACHU: [AGREEING]

DAWN: Ash just won an amazing victory at the Pastoria Gym!

MONICA: I'm impressed! That's great!

DAWN: I really admire all of Ash's success,

but I'd like to become Top Coordinator someday!

MONICA: What's that?

DAWN: My Pokétch timer went off!

The Poffin batter should be perfectly done!

BROCK: Now we just pour it into the molds and let it cool!

DAWN: Ready! PIPLUP: [OVERJOYED]

MONICA: Look at that! Piplup sure looks excited!

DAWN: They really love them,

but they're still no match for Brock's Poffins

MONICA: Brock's a chef as well?

DAWN: Oh yeah!

SWINUB: [EATING]

ASH, BROCK: No! Not Swinub!

PIPLUP: [HORRIFIED]

DAWN: Bad Swinub!

These Poffins are supposed to be for all the other Pokémon!

SWINUB: [SAD]

MONICA: Remember, you just ate a bunch!

SWINUB: [BEGGING]

DAWN: Oh, come on!

BROCK: I don't think a bunch was quite enough!

ASH: Swinub, have some of the ones I made!

ASH: Hey, I know they may not be the prettiest Poffins,

but trust me they taste just fine! Kind of!

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

MONICA: If I had to guess,

I'd say Swinub prefers Dawn's Poffins! Wow!

BROCK: I think your Poffin recipe's earned you a real fan!

DAWN: Really? Swinub?

SWINUB: [ENCOURAGING]

DAWN: In that case! Here, eat up!

SWINUB: [HAPPY]

DAWN: It sure does a chef's heart good to see that!

DAWN: There's only one thing a good cook can do,

and that's to make a whole lot more!

PIPLUP: [UPSET]

DAWN: Don't worry! I'll make a bunch more for you too!

PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

CLEFFA: [HOPEFUL]

TURTWIG: [EXERTION]

CLEFFA, AMBIPOM, PACHIRISU, PIKACHU, PICHU X : [HAPPY]

BUIZEL: [EXERTION]

HAPPINY, SUDOWOODO: [SNORING]

STARAVIA, AZURILL: [HAPPY]

CLEFFA: [INTERESTED]

PICHU, IGGLYBUFF: [NERVOUS]

ASH: They're all having a real ball! That's great!

BACKLOT: You know, it's special moments like these

when I almost wish I could be a Pokémon!

DAWN: Hello?

DAWN: It's snack time!

PIPLUP, BUNEARY: [HAPPY]

DAWN: Here you go!

DAWN: Your favorite!

Fresh as they can be, so dig right in and have all you want!

AMBIPOM, PIACHIRISU, BUNEARY, PIPLUP: [HAPPY]

BROCK: And make sure you chew carefully before you swallow!

PIKACHU, AMBIPOM, PIACHIRISU, BUNEARY, PIPLUP, CLEFFA: [HAPPY]

SWINUB: [INTERESTED] / [OVERJOYED]

PIPLUP: [SCARED]

AMBIPOM, PACHIRISU, BUNEARY: [PANIC]

BUNEARY, PACHIRISU: [PANIC]

DAWN: Swinub! Hold on!

DAWN: No need to worry!

As you can see, I've made lots of poffins for you too!

SWINUB: [HAPPY]

DAWN: They good, Swinub?

SWINUB: [HAPPY]

DAWN: Great! You do a chef proud!

BROCK: Guess it was worth burning the midnight oil,

right Dawn?

DAWN: Sure!

But I'm afraid I'm so sleepy my oil's all b*rned out!

ASH: What's going on?

BUNEARY, SUDOWOODO, HAPPINY,

AZURILL, IGGLYBUFF, TURTWIG: [SCREAMING]

ASH: What's this?

BACKLOT: My darling little Pokémon!

How could something like this have happened

in my very own garden?

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Ground floor!

JESSIE: Our pit trap digging skills skillfully remain intact!

JAMES: But adapting to the modern technology

of today is a necessary fact!

JESSIE: On the wind!

JAMES: The stars!

MEOWTH: Dig it, Jack!

JESSIE: Bringing chaos at a breakneck pace!

JAMES: Dashing hope, putting fear in its place!

JESSIE: A trap dug any other way's just as sweet!

JAMES: When earth is moved, our work is complete!

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

MEOWTH: Meowth! Now, that's a name!

JESSIE: Putting the do-gooders in their place!

JAMES: Team Rocket!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: We're in your face!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

MIME JR.: [MIMICKING]

ASH: Team Rocket!

PICHU X , IGGLYBUFF, GLIGAR,

BUIZEL, SWINUB, STARAVIA: [AFRAID]

JESSIE: There's nothing like culling a collection

of cuties to cure a case of the blahs!

ASH: No you don't!

MONICA: Mister Backlot!

MONICA: This is terrible!

Every last bit of our food, it's all mysteriously disappeared!

BACKLOT: Who could've done such a thing?

JAMES: Maybe striking a famous dance pose will give you a clue!

MIME JR.: [MIMICKING]

MEOWTH: I think if you Twerps realize that

by eating your grub we're just staying alive,

you'll understand and cut us a break!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

DAWN: Stop talking that gibberish,

and give us back all those Pokémon!

JESSIE: One gob of gibberish deserves another!

MEOWTH: This marks the end of our broadcast day. Away!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Hey hey hey!

PIKACHU, PIPLUP, SWINUB: [PANIC]

ASH: Pikachu!

DAWN: Ash!

ASH: Dawn!

DAWN: Leave it to me!

Piplup, Swinub, everyone, I'm here!

PICHU X , IGGLYBUFF, GLIGAR,

BUIZEL, SWINUB, STARAVIA: [AFRAID]

DAWN: Is everyone okay?

ASH: No, Dawn!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Yes, Twerp!

BROCK: Ash! You all right?

ASH: Yeah, I'm okay.

ASH: But we've gotta save the Pokémon!

PICHU X , IGGLYBUFF, GLIGAR,

BUIZEL, SWINUB, STARAVIA: [WORRIED]

PICHU X, CLEFFA, IGGLYBUFF X, AZURILL, SWINUB: [WORRIED]

DAWN: No need to worry!

I'll get you all back to Mister Backlot's Garden!

DAWN: You're free!

PICHU X, IGGLYBUFF, GLIGAR,

BUIZEL, SWINUB, STARAVIA: [GRATEFUL]

SWINUB: [CURIOUS] / [HAPPY]

DAWN: Swinub, where are you going?

You can't go off by yourself! Come back!

PICHU X , IGGLYBUFF, GLIGAR,

BUIZEL, STARAVIA, PIPLUP: [SHOCK]

SWINUB: [DETERMINED]

SWINUB: [EATING]

DAWN: Wow. Some things never change.

SWINUB: [SCREAM]

DAWN: Swinub!

DAWN, SWINUB: [SHOCK]

JESSIE: Look, we had to cut our losses.

JAMES: I mean how do you stomach a permanently hungry Pokémon

with a teensy, yet hollow, leg?

WOBBUFFET: [AGREE]

MEOWTH: Up, up and away!

DAWN: We have to go, too!

Can you follow Team Rocket's scent Swinub?

SWINUB: [AFFIRMATIVE]

BACKLOT: I saw them flying in this very direction,

so I do hope we can catch them!

MONICA: We will. Hold on tight!

SWINUB: [DETERMIEND] / [URGING]

SWINUB: [HAPPY]

DAWN: Swinub! Come on!

We're not looking for berries now!

SWINUB: [REFOCUSED]

DAWN: So Swinub did understand what I was saying after all!

SWINUB: [EXERTION] / [EATING]

DAWN: No, not fruit! I give up.

SWINUB: [OFFERING]

DAWN: Oh, thanks!

PIPLUP: [HAPPY]

DAWN: I'm so sorry!

If I'd been a little stronger, this wouldn't have happened!

SWINUB: [REALIZING]

DAWN: Swinub?

SWINUB: [URGING]

DAWN: You're telling me to follow you aren't you?

SWINUB: [FOCUSED]

DAWN: Okay hold on!

MEOWTH: I think it's safe to stuff our mugs!

JESSIE: Something about the taste of stolen food

that's so good!

JAMES: Which, is even better when combined

with the just desserts we'll get

when we hand the Boss these stolen Pokémon!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

MIME JR.: [MIMICKING]

SWINUB: [EXERTION]

JAMES: My rice balls!

MEOWTH: My biscuits!

JESSIE: My everything!

WOBBUFFET: [PANIC]

SWINUB: [EXERTION] / [HAPPY]

JESSIE: Get that vacuum cleaner of a mouth off of my food!

DAWN: You found Team Rocket! Good for you!

SWINUB: [PROUD] JAMES: The Twerpette!

DAWN: Thanks so much Swinub!

SWINUB: [PROUD] DAWN: Give the Pokémon back!

JESSIE: Ha! With that pile of paltry persuasion,

you'll get nothing but air!

MEOWTH: Big scare!

JAMES: Now, Carnivine take a bite out of crime!

JAMES: They're the criminals this time, not me!

JESSIE: Yanmega! Steel Wing stat!

YANMEGA: [STEEL WING MOVE]

CARNIVINE: [BITE MOVE]

DAWN: Look out, Swinub!

SWINUB: [ICE SHARD MOVE]

YANMEGA, CARNIVINE: [YELP]

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH, WOBBUFFET, MIME JR.: [PANIC]

DAWN: Awesome! You used Ice Shard! I'm impressed!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH, MIME JR., CARNIVINE, YANMEGA: [DAZED]

DAWN: Now, Swinub, we've got to save all those Pokémon!

SWINUB: [EXERTION]

PIPLUP: [HAPPY] PACHIRISU: [HAPPY]

BUNEARY: [HAPPY]

DAWN: That's great! Everyone okay?

ASH: Dawn!

ASH: Everyone! Pikachu!

PIKACHU: [OVERJOYED] BROCK: You're all right!

CLEFFA, PICHU X, IGGLYBUFF X, AZURILL: [HAPPY]

BACKLOT: Oh my darling little Pokémon I missed you so much!

MONICA: They're okay, Mister Backlot.

BACKLOT: I'm so happy! So truly happy!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Well speak for yourself

Mister Moneybags!

JAMES: It's back to the Garden empty-handed for you! Carnivine,

use b*llet Seed!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: We're blasting off again!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

DAWN: Thank you, Swinub!

Because of you, everyone's safe and sound!

SWINUB: [PROUD] / [EXCITED]

ASH: Man, that Swinub can still put it away, don't you think?

Amazing.

DAWN: Swinub.

DAWN: So, tastes good, huh?

SWINUB: [AFFIRMATIVE]

DAWN: Swinub, I was wondering if

maybe you'd like to come along with us on our journey.

SWINUB: [CONFUSED]

DAWN: Come on, it'll be fun!

SWINUB: [EXCITED]

DAWN: Wow, that's great! Thanks!

DAWN: All right! This Swinub's mine, all mine!

ASH: Hey Dawn, that's awesome!

BROCK: And that was an awesome way to make a new friend!

DAWN: I want you to say hi to my new Swinub!

GLIGAR, BUIZEL, STARAVIA,

PIPLUP, AMBIPOM, PIKACHU: [GREETING]

CLEFFA, AZURILL, PICHU X, IGGLYBUFF X: [EXCITED]

MONICA: I hear there's going to be a Pokémon Contest

coming up in Celestic Town!

MONICA: I think it would be great if you entered it!

BROCK: Why not? After all,

Celestic Town's a little past Hearthome City

DAWN: It'll be perfect! That's my next Contest!

That's so nice Monica, thanks!

MONICA: Think nothing of it!

ASH: We've had such a great time with you all,

but I think we'd better get a move on soon.

DAWN: Swinub? Don't you think you should say bye, too?

SWINUB: [SALUTATIONS]

BACKLOT: I realize Swinub isn't my Pokémon,

but I'm still feeling sad. Saying goodbye is hard!

DAWN: We'll come back and visit. I promise!

BACKLOT: Yes Come soon!

And the instant you do, Monica will make us something

good to eat and we'll have a nice time playing

in my magnificent garden!

ASH, DAWN: Thanks! We will!

BROCK: Ah yes, Monica

BROCK: And I promise I will return as well.

Strolling the grounds together hand in hand.

BROCK: If I'll be able to stroll anywhere by then.

CROAGUNK: [AMUSED]

NARRATOR: Not only was a wonderful time had by all,

but Dawn's got a new friend in Swinub!

And now, not only is Hearthome City

an eagerly anticipated destination for our Heroes,

but so is Celestic Town, the site of Dawn's next Contest!

You've just got to stay tuned!
