Post by bunniefuu »

DAWN: Okay!

BROCK: We're all set!

ASH: Okay g*ng, chow time!

DAWN: Come and get it!

PIKACHU, TURTWIG, SWINUB,

BUNEARY, PACHIRISU, HAPPINY: [HAPPY]

CROAGUNK, BUIZEL, STARAVIA: [EATING]

BROCK: That's some of my special Pokémon food,

and I've made plenty, so eat up!

PIPLUP: [EATING] / [ANGRY]

SWINUB: [PLEADING]

TURTWIG: [FRUSTRATED]

DAWN: That's Turtwig for you!

ASH: Yeah.

ASH: Hey where'd Gligar go?

ASH: I'll find out.

ASH: Hey, Gligar! Come here!

GLIGAR: [HAPPY]

ASH: Why do you do that?

PIKACHU: [CONFUSED]

GLIGAR: [X-SCISSOR MOVE]

ASH: Whoa, that's X-Scissor!

ASH: Does that mean you want do some battle training?

GLIGAR: [EXCITED]

BROCK: That makes sense to me!

Especially after Gligar had that frustrating battle

with Paul's Gliscor.

GLIGAR: [SAD]

DAWN: Careful, you're going to get Gligar really depressed!

BROCK: Uh. Sorry, Gligar!

ASH: Training, huh?

So you wanna get stronger, right?

GLIGAR: [EXCITED]

ASH: Awesome! We'll get down to it right after lunch!

GLIGAR: [EXCITED]

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]

NARRATOR: As our heroes continue their Sinnoh region trek

toward Hearthome City, and Ash's next Gym Battle,

we find a very motivated Gligar

prompting a round of special training!

BUIZEL: [TAUNTING]

ASH: Gligar, you're in the thick of it!

Use your eyes and show that winning glare!

GLIGAR: [DETERMINED]

BUIZEL: [DETERMINED]

GLIGAR: [AFRAID]

BUIZEL: [DETERMINED]

GLIGAR: [PLEADING]

ASH: That's not going to work.

Gligar you can't give up before you start!

PIKACHU: [AGREEING]

ASH: Gligar now! Use X-Scissor and keep it going!

GLIGAR: [X-SCISSOR MOVE]

GLIGAR, BUIZEL: [EXERTION]

ASH: Now Buizel! Use Aqua Jet!

BUIZEL: [AQUA JET MOVE]

GLIGAR: [YELP] BUIZEL: [EXERTION]

GLIGAR: [WHINE] BUIZEL: [EXERTION]

GLIGAR: [PANICKED CRY]

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

ASH: Gligar? What's wrong with you?

GLIGAR: [CRYING]

DAWN: Ash, wait!

Getting mad like that'll just depress Gligar even more!

ASH: Well. Yeah, but still...

DAWN: Cheer up, Gligar! No need to worry!

You'll just try a little harder next time,

and you'll be wonderful!

DAWN, GLIGAR: [HAPPY]

ASH: Man, I don't want Gligar to get spoiled

BROCK: On the other hand,

treating Gligar harshly

isn't going to get you very far either, right?

ASH: Yeah!

ASH: Okay Turtwig, come on out and give me a hand!

TURTWIG: [APPEARING]

ASH: Now Turtwig. Energy Ball!

TURTWIG: [EXERTION]

GLIGAR: [WHIMPER]

ASH: Gligar if you don't pay attention,

you won't be able to dodge!

TURTWIG: [ENERGY BALL MOVE]

GLIGAR: [YELP]

GLIGAR: [WHIMPER]

ASH: Now, use Steel Wing right from where you are!

GLIGAR: [CONFUSED]

GLIGAR: [STEEL WING MOVE] / [YELP]

TURTWIG: [FOCUSED]

GLIGAR: [AFRAID] / [PANIC]

DAWN, BROCK, PIPLUP: [SURPRISED]

TURTWIG: [SURPRISED]

ASH: Look out!

ASH: Come on, Gligar! Not over here!

PIKACHU: [PANIC]

DAWN: Of course. Now Gligar can fly straight as an arrow.

ASH: Your opponent's back over there!

ASH, GLIGAR: [WIMPER]

ASH: What're you thinking?

GLIGAR: [UPSET]

ASH: You're gonna have to stop crying and start toughening up!

GLIGAR: [CRY]

ASH: Let's try it once more!

GLIGAR: [UPSET]

ASH: Gligar!

DAWN: Where are you going?

GLIGAR: [PANIC]

JAMES: Best wear a helmet when Gligar calls.

MEOWTH: I just thought of the perfect way

to utilize that head-hugger!

JESSIE: I'm sensing a scene change.

MEOWTH: It's a doozy!

MEOWTH: Imagine the Boss's having

the greatest dream of his bossy life!

MEOWTH: But just as he's getting to the best part,

the morning sun starts creeping in through the curtains!

MEOWTH: And that's Gligar's cue!

MEOWTH: Instantly keeping the dream alive

is what Gligar lives for!

MEOWTH: After some quality face time,

know what the Boss will say?

MEOWTH: I've gotta thank Meowth and friends

in a big way for helping me make sure the dream is never over!

JESSIE: While our dreams begin!

MEOWTH, JAMES, JESSIE: Wishing, and hoping,

and plotting, and dreaming,

and scheming, and soon we'll be rich!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: Gligar, where are you?

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

DAWN: Hey Gligar!

BROCK: Say something!

ASH: This is just great!

Things don't go perfectly, so Gligar throws in the towel!

PIKACHU: [WORRIED]

STARAVIA: [URGENT]

ASH: Staravia, did you find Gligar?

STARAVIA: [URGING]

STARAVIA: [CALLING]

PIKACHU: [SHOCK]

GARY, GLIGAR: [SHOCK]

DAWN: It's the poetry guy's grandson!

BROCK, ASH, PIKACHU, PIPLUP : [SHOCK]

GARY: It'd be a lot easier if you used my name!

ASH: Hey Gary! Why are you here?

GARY: I was just on my way over to Lake Valor

to check out that Legendary Pokémon you guys saw!

ASH: I'll never forget that!

BROCK: So does that mean Professor Rowan sent you?

GARY: Yeah. Hey what's up with this Gligar?

ASH: It's mine! We were just doing some special training!

GARY: Let me guess!

In the middle of your training Gligar took off!

ASH: Gary how did you know that?

GARY: Just call it a good guess.

Seems your training method leaves

a little bit to be desired, Ashy boy!

ASH: What was that?

GARY: Hey, I'm just offering you my help!

ASH: Thanks but no thanks!

Come on Gligar let's try it once more!

GLIGAR: [SCARED]

GARY: Sounds like a "no thank you" to me!

ASH: Oh yeah? Come on!

DAWN, BROCK, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [SURPRISE]

DAWN: Maybe you should take Gary up on his offer to help

BROCK: Yeah. Just do it for Gligar.

It might be best for everybody!

GARY: Yeah! What have you got to lose?

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

UMBREON: [READY]

GARY: It's Gligar against Umbreon!

We'll be able to show you a few things!

ASH: We won't go easy on you! Now, Gligar, Steel Wing!

GLIGAR: [STEEL WING MOVE]

GARY: Umbreon, Shadow Ball!

UMBREON: [SHADOW BALL MOVE]

GLIGAR: [SCARED]

GLIGAR: [SCARED]

GARY: I get it!

Gligar freaks out easily when facing an opponent.

GLIGAR: [NERVOUS]

ASH: But Gligar, you want to get strong?

GLIGAR: [NERVOUS]

BROCK: Even though Gligar wants to get strong

as soon as any battling begins

this huge wave of uncontrollable fear takes over!

GARY: All right! So the first thing we have to work on

is getting over that fear!

DAWN: But how do you do that?

ASH: You focus in and concentrate!

GARY: Ash, I guess you'll never change!

GARY: The most important thing about working with Steel Wing

is to jump as high as you can!

So if we can master that,

no doubt Gligar will have lots more confidence in battle.

DAWN: That's great!

Gary sure gives instructions much better than Ash!

ASH: I heard that!

BROCK: But how does Gligar increase its jumping power?

GARY: By using the end of Gligar's tail

like a spring when it takes off!

ASH: Awesome! Okay Gligar,

use the end of your tail like a spring when you jump!

GLIGAR: [AGREE]

ASH: Now, Steel Wing, go!

GLIGAR: [STEEL WING MOVE]

ASH: What a jump!

GLIGAR: [SURPRISE]

GLIGAR: [YELP]

ASH, BROCK, DAWN, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [SHOCK]

PIKACHU: [CONCERN]

DAWN: Oh no!

BROCK: Now Gligar's got to deal with a fear of heights!

GARY: We've got a problem all right.

How much battling has Gligar done?

DAWN: Not much Gligar got beaten pretty badly battling a Gliscor.

Maybe that's why Gligar's so scared now.

GARY: Yeah, makes sense. A Gliscor.

GARY: Hey! I know! We'll evolve Gligar!

ASH, GLIGAR, PIKACHU: [SHOCK]

DAWN: What's that?

PIPLUP: [INTERESTED]

BROCK: It's a Razor Fang!

GARY: Right! We'll just evolve Gligar into Gliscor with this!

GARY: And once we do that,

all sorts of Gligar's abilities will improve,

and we can put the brakes on all of that fear!

ASH: Wow, thanks Gary!

GLIGAR: [EXCITED]

ASH: Calm down, Gligar.

Evolving is no substitute for some honest hard work!

You can evolve after you conquer your fear!

GLIGAR: [SAD]

GARY: What the!

JESSIE: A clueless Twerp is certainly nothing new!

JAMES: You're all pros at not having a clue!

JESSIE: Face the facts!

JAMES: For a change!

MEOWTH: Stinks to be you!

JESSIE: We'll bring chaos at a breakneck pace!

JAMES: We'll dash all hope, and put fear in its place!

JESSIE: So it's old home week for the Twerps, we see!

JAMES: But without us, you're short by three!

JESSIE: Jessie!

JAMES: And James!

MEOWTH: Meowth makes it triple, you see?

JESSIE: Putting you do-gooders in your place!

JAMES: We're Team Rocket!

MEOWTH, JESSIE, JAMES: In your face!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

DAWN, BROCK: Team Rocket!

GARY: Don't you guys ever get tired of being lame?

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Silence!

MEOWTH: Check out our Gliscorbot!

GLIGAR: [SCREAM]

ASH: Gligar!

GLIGAR: [SCARED]

JAMES: Now that's a tail with some real torque!

MEOWTH: And you're a dork!

ASH: Stop it right now!

ASH: Gligar's staying with me!

GLIGAR: [SCARED]

JAMES: We don't need the extra ballast.

JESSIE: Brat! Always dragging us down!

ASH: I'll fix you! Staravia, stop Team Rocket!

STARAVIA: [DETERMINED]

JESSIE: Spare me!

Seviper use Haze, and Yanmega use Silver Wind!

SEVIPER: [HAZE MOVE]

YANMEGA: [SILVER WIND MOVE]

STARAVIA: [SURPRISE]

STARAVIA: [YELP]

BROCK, DAWN, GARY, PIPLUP, PIKACHU, UMBREON: [SCREAM]

BROCK: They're gone!

DAWN: And with Gligar and Ash!

PIKACHU: [UPSET]

ASH: Gligar, you're not hurt are you?

GLIGAR: [REASSURING]

JAMES: Everyone should have a Gliscorbot!

JESSIE: We do, and that's what counts!

Which leads to the need to speed Gligar

by Delibird express to the Boss's digs!

MEOWTH: Once The Boss's dreaming without morning interruption,

we'll be rolling fat!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

JAMES: So! To mark the day's victory,

I've taken the liberty of preparing a modest little meal,

and here it is!

JESSIE: Wow! Canned food with eight layers of cans!

MEOWTH: There's nothing modest about a towering pile of tin!

JAMES: Quick, eat before we pass the expiration date!

JESSIE, MEOWTH, JAMES: Peel that tin, and let's dig in!

DAWN: We haven't found Ash and Gligar yet,

and the sun's starting to go down.

GARY: I know this terrain like the back of my hand.

And there just aren't that many places around here

where Team Rocket's balloon could have touched down.

GARY: This way!

DAWN: Right behind you, Gary!

PIPLUP: [DETERMINED]

JESSIE: Mission accomplished! My needle's on full.

MEOWTH: The only good tummy is a fully packed tummy

ASH: Great! Now we can get out of here!

Quick, face the bars and then use X-Scissor!

GLIGAR: [AFFIRMATIVE]

GLIGAR: [X-SCISSOR MOVE]

GLIGAR: [UNSURE]

ASH: One more time!

GLIGAR: [X-SCISSOR MOVE]

GLIGAR: [PAIN]

ASH: Okay! Let me take a sh*t!

GLIGAR: [CONFUSED]

ASH: Here we go!

GLIGAR: [CONFUSED]

ASH: One more time!

GLIGAR: [UNSURE]

ASH: Look out!

ASH: Here I come!

GLIGAR: [DETERMINED]

ASH: Gligar!

ASH: Then use X-Scissor one more time!

GLIGAR: [X-SCISSOR MOVE]

GLIGAR: [GRUNT]

ASH: All right! Try it once again!

GLIGAR: [AGREE]

GLIGAR: [EXERTION]

ASH: Just a little more!

ASH: Let's both of us try!

GLIGAR: [AGREE]

ASH: All right. One, two, three!

ASH: Yeah, Gligar, way to go!

GLIGAR: [PROUD]

MEOWTH: Gee Boss, thanks for the bread.

ASH: A hanging bridge.

GLIGAR: [UNSURE]

ASH: Come on. Let's go!

GLIGAR: [UNSURE]

GLIGAR: [SCARED]

GLIGAR: [TERRIFIED]

ASH: Okay, Gligar, you got to hang on tight!

GLIGAR: [UNSURE]

JAMES: Those two Twerps totaled the trap!

JAMES: Attention! Up you lazy louts!

GLIGAR: [WORRIED]

ASH: I'm telling you, you've got to stop worrying!

ASH: Now, first things first,

we've got to figure out how to cross.

ASH: I've got it! That'll work!

ASH: Okay Gligar!

ASH: Use Steel Wing to knock down that tree!

GLIGAR: [EXERTION]

ASH: That's it! Now give it all you got!

GLIGAR: [STEEL WING MOVE]

GLIGAR: [EXERTION]

GLIGAR: [YELP]

GLIGAR: [GROAN]

ASH: You all right?

GLIGAR: [DAZED]

GLIGAR: [DETERMINED]

ASH: Whoa, what's gotten into you?

ASH: Way to go! I know you can do it now!

GLIGAR: [DETERMINED] ASH: Okay, use Steel Wing!

GLIGAR: [STEEL WING MOVE]

ASH: All you have to do is keep believing in yourself!

GLIGAR: [AGREE]

GLIGAR: [EXERTION]

ASH: Now hit it!

GLIGAR: [EXERT]

ASH: You did it, Gligar!

ASH: You did it you did it!

GLIGAR: [HAPPY]

ASH: You know what that means!

You can use the Razor Fang and evolve if you want to!

GLIGAR: [HAPPY]

JAMES: All right jail breakers, we'll take it from here!

JESSIE: It's back in the Twerp box for you!

ASH: Can't you guys give it a rest?

MEOWTH: What? And miss out on playing

with toys and messing with you?

WOBBUFFET: [TAUNTING AFFIRMATIVE]

JAMES: One Gligar, please!

MEOWTH: To go!

ASH: Look out!

ASH: Quick, Gligar, you got to get moving!

GLIGAR: [SHOCK]

GLIGAR: [SCREAM]

JESSIE: The Twerp flipped!

JAMES: Bad Twerp!

ASH: No you don't!

GLIGAR: [SHOCK] / [DETERMINED]

GLIGAR: [SCARED]

ASH: Gligar, head's up!

ASH: The Razor Fang! Grab it!

GLIGAR: [CONFUSED]

GLISCOR: [DETERMINED]

ASH: It evolved!

ASH: Thanks Gliscor! What a catch!

GLISCOR: [PROUD]

MEOWTH: Hey Gligar's been Gliscored!

JESSIE: Good! The spitting image of our Gliscorbot!

JAMES: That means our Gliscor will have someone to look up to!

ASH: Gliscor's mine! Right, Gliscor?

GLISCOR: [AGREE]

MEOWTH: Launching robo tail!

ASH: X-Scissor, go!

GLISCOR: [X-SCISSOR]

ASH: Right on target!

GLISCOR: [PROUD]

DAWN, BROCK: Ash!

PIKACHU: [RELIEVED]

ASH: Hey guys!

BROCK: Is that who I think it is?

ASH: You bet! My Gligar evolved into Gliscor!

DAWN: Awesome!

And I can't get over how much stronger Gliscor's looking now!

PIKACHU: [AMAZED]

PIPLUP: [AMAZED]

MEOWTH: Get a load of an X-Scissor with some real sciz!

ASH: Gliscor intercept with X-Scissor, now!

GLISCOR: [X-SCISSOR MOVE]

GLISCOR: [COUGHING]

ASH: Gliscor! Quick, use your tail!

GLISCOR: [FOCUSED]

GLISCOR: [EXERTION]

ASH: All right fly straight up!

ASH: That's it! Now, Steel Wing!

GLISCOR: [STEEL WING MOVE]

JAMES: This might be a good time to show our Gliscorbot

is more than a pretty face.

JESSIE: Heavy metal's never been so cool!

MEOWTH: Our Gliscorbot's Steel Wings rule!

ASH: Okay, get in there!

GLISCOR: [EXERTION]

GLISCOR: [PROUD]

ASH: Check it out!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: No thank you!

GARY: Wow, Gliscor sure looks strong!

DAWN: Yeah, and in total sync with Ash!

GLISCOR: [HAPPY]

DAWN: Guess old habits die hard!

MEOWTH: That Gliscor's so big one wrong move

and Boss's melon would be mush!

JAMES: Will you quit digressing?

JESSIE: Shut your mush melon Meowth and help!

ASH: Okay Pikachu wrap this up with Thunderbolt!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

MEOWTH: Course we blew our dough

on that Gliscorbot before eating all our grub.

JAMES: And we didn't even think

to take all those cans to recycling!

JESSIE: When the rations are lean, it's hard to think green!

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

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: Thanks, Gary! You really helped us a lot!

GLISCOR: [AGREEING]

GARY: I didn't do anything.

GARY: Ash, truth is,

you were the one who got us through all the rough spots!

ASH: Well, if you say so, thanks!

GLISCOR: [THANKFUL]

BROCK: I hope you get a chance to see that Legendary Pokémon.

GARY: Thanks!

GARY: I usually catch a break when I'm at the lake!

-DAWN: Oh no! -ASH: Dawn what's wrong?

DAWN: Gary just said,

"I usually catch a break when I'm at the lake."

That's a poem if I ever heard one!

DAWN: But what do you expect from the grandson of a poet?

GARY: Okay then here's another one, Dawn!

GARY: Stay healthy and strong and you'll never go wrong!

ASH: Good one, Gary! PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

DAWN: Words to live by!

PIPLUP: [HAPPY]

GARY: Later!

ASH: Take care, Gary!

ASH: You know Gliscor,

when it comes to serious training,

we're just getting warmed up!

PIKACHU: [AGREEING] GLISCOR: [READY]

NARRATOR: And so,

our heroes have proved once again

that while there are many ways to achieve success,

the ingredients that can't be left out are love and support.

Case in point, Ash, and his newly evolved Gliscor!
