12x39 - An Egg Scramble!

[bunniefuu]

ASH: Man, how hungry can you get?

PIKACHU: [FAMISHED]

PIPLUP: [FAMISHED]

DAWN: Aw, Piplup, you too?

ASH, BROCK, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [SURPRISED] / [AMUSED]

BROCK: Sounds like you two could go for some lunch!

ASH, DAWN, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: Yeah!Oh yeah![EXCITED]

NARRATOR: As our hungry heroes make their way toward Lilypad

Town and Dawn's next Pokémon Contest, a quaint village ahead

now beckons them to do a little exploring.

ASH: What's that?

MARILL: [STRUGGLING]

ASH: Check it out!

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

DAWN: It's a Marill, wow!

BROCK: And it looks like it's stuck, too!

PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [GROANING]

MARILL: [SHOUT]

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

MARILL: [RELIEVED]

ASH: Marill! You okay?

BROCK: It doesn't look hurt.

POKEDEX: Marill. The Aqua Mouse Pokémon. Its floating tail

allows it to remain steady against the

strongest of water currents.

LYRA: Hey, there you are!

MARILL: [SURPRISED]

LYRA: Now, how did you manage to get here?

DAWN: Does this Marill belong to you?

LYRA: It sure does. But it just disappeared!

LYRA: So! Lyra's the name, hi! I'm a Trainer!

DAWN: My name's Dawn! I'd like you to meet my partner, Piplup!

PIPLUP: [PROUD]

ASH: Hi, I'm Ash! And this is Pikachu!

PIKACHU: [FRIENDLY]

BROCK: I'm Brock, and I'm a Pokémon Breeder!

LYRA: Well, it's very nice to meet you all! You're a Piplup,

huh. Let's see

POKEDEX [MALE]: Piplup. The Penguin Pokémon. Although not

the most surefooted, it is proud nonetheless, getting right back

up after a fall with head held high.

DAWN: Awesome! Is that a Pokédex?

LYRA: Yeah, straight from the Johto region,

and it's brand new!

ASH: Whoa, are you from Johto?

LYRA: Yeah, have you heard of it? Hey, that reminds me, I've

got something cool to show you!

DAWN: Cool? Show us what?

LYRA: Back there!

The Johto Festival's going on now as we speak!

ASH: Johto Festival?

LYRA: Yup! You'll see soon. So! Ready to go, Dane?

DAWN: Dane? Okay!

Sometimes it's hard to know,

Which way you're supposed to go.

But deep inside, you know you're strong.

If you follow your heart, you can't be wrong.

Stand up! [Stand up!]

For what is right.

Be brave!

Get ready to fight.

Hold on! [Hold on!]

We're friends for life.

And if we come,

together as one,

Complete the quest, that we've begun,

We will win the battle!

Galactic Battles! Pokémon!

DAWN: Wow!

ASH: Check that!

DAWN, BROCK, PIPLUP: [SURPRISED]

ASH: What's that?

LYRA: It's a Pokégear! It's got a phone and a map and everything

built right in! Hello?

KHOURY: It's Khoury, of course. Where did you go now?

LYRA: I'll be back soon! This is the Johto Festival!

LYRA: We've been traveling with it on the road everywhere to

help promote the Johto region!

LYRA: Welcome everybody!

DAWN: Look at that!

ASH: It's you, Lyra!

LYRA: Great to have you at the Johto Festival!

BROCK: So I guess that means you're on staff!

LYRA: Hope so! Well at least that's what they told me the

last time I checked.

LYRA: When you hear the name Johto, most people think of the

legendary Ecruteak City!

LYRA, : After you've spent a little time learning about the

legend of the b*rned Tower where people and Pokémon bonded in

ancient times, then how about having a Pokémon Battle with one

of these lovely Kimono Girls?

ASH: Wow, Johto! Great memories!

PIKACHU: [PLEASED]

BROCK: More than great!

LYRA: But if you just want a place to have fun, then

Goldrenrod City is the place for you!

LYRA: Now don't forget Olivine City, which is famous for

Ampharos the Light Pokémon! And there's Blackthorn City, where

you can actually Battle Dragon-type Pokémon over at its

magnificent Gym!

LYRA: And with nature's beauty, Johto's full of surprises!

LYRA: So of course don't forget,

we can't wait to see you all in Johto and soon!

KHOURY'S FATHER: Step right up to Johto's famous milk shop for

a free sample of Moomoo Milk!

CHILD A: Wow that's good, thanks!

KHOURY: Thank you and come again!

LYRA: Sorry about the wait!

KHOURY: Hey, Lyra!

ASH: How're you doing?

KHOURY'S FATHER: Welcome to the festival!

TOTODILE: [SURPRISED]

DAWN: Hey, a Totodile!

BROCK, ASH, PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

DAWN'S POKEDEX: Totodile. The Big Jaw Pokémon. Totodile has a

habit of using its highly developed jaws to chomp on

anything in sight, so Trainers beware.

PIKACHU: [DELIGHTED]

PIPLUP: [DELIGHTED]

TOTODILE: [ANNOYED]

PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [SURPRISED]

DAWN: Seems a bit distant.

KHOURY: That's Totodile. It's always acting like that!

KHOURY: What's worse, it won't eat any of the Pokémon food I

make for it.

BROCK: I think it may be a tad too sweet.

BROCK: You have any Chesto Berries?

KHOURY: Uh, well, yeah but

BROCK: Here you go!

TOTODILE: [SNIFFING] / [EXCITED]

LYRA: Now don't forget I brought them here! So! Pretty neat, huh?

BROCK: I want to be the greatest Pokémon Breeder in the world!

KHOURY: Wow, that's an awesome goal!

BROCK: Thanks! I'll give you some recipes if you like.

KHOURY: Thank you so much! That's great!

DAWN, PIPLUP, PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

KHOURY'S FATHER: These cones are all freshly made from Moomoo

Milk! Give them a try!

ASH: Tasty!

DAWN: It's delicious!

LYRA: Glad you like it! And you can get free samples of

everything they sell here so try all of it!

ASH: Yes! I just happen to be starving as well!

Let's get this show on the road!

KHOURY'S FATHER: Lyra, they're your friends?

LYRA: Sure! They helped me to find Marill! Their names are

Ash, Brock, and Dane!

DAWN: Actually, it's Dawn!

ASH: Nice to meet you!

KHOURY: Hi! My name's Khoury!

KHOURY'S FATHER: And I'm Khoury's dad!

LYRA, : Da-da-da-daaaa! See, Khoury's dad here is responsible

for the entire festival! And I guess you could call Khoury a

Pokémon Breeder if you stretched it!

KHOURY: Whoa you guess? Hey, that's cruel!

ASH: So Lyra, didn't you say you're a Trainer?

LYRA: Yup! I'm visiting all the Johto Gyms! What about you, Ash?

ASH: We're working to get into the Sinnoh League and win it!

We've already gotten seven badges to show for it, too!

PIKACHU: [PROUD]

LYRA: Wow! I've only won two so far. Look! The Zephyr Badge from

the Violet Gym and also the Hive Badge from the Azalea Gym! Dane,

what about you?

DAWN: I'm a coordinator, see and my next Contest is the one

they're having in Lilypad Town!

LYRA: Awesome! Actually since I specialize in battling, you're

the first coordinator friend I've made so far!

TOTODILE: [ENTHUSED]

LYRA: Uh, hey Totodile, what's up?

KHOURY: I think it's trying to let you know the

show's going to start.

LYRA: Whoa, I forgot!

DAWN: A show?

LYRA: Yeah! It's an exhibition of all the Johto Pokémon!

Why don't you guys check it out?

ASH, PIKACHU, BROCK, PIPLUP, DAWN: Great![DELIGHTED]

JESSIE: Nothing like filling up the fuel t*nk!

JAMES: My tummy's finally got something to work with!

JESSIE: Hold on!

JESSIE: I just had a brilliant idea!

LYRA: Hello people of Sinnoh! Are you feeling great?

LYRA, : My name's Lyra, and I'm from New Bark Town in Johto!

Please have a look. In Johto, new Trainers have a choice

between Chikorita, Cyndaquil,

and Totodile for their first Pokémon!

LYRA: All of which are pretty rare in Sinnoh, as I'm sure

you're all well aware!

LYRA: All right then Chikorita. You're up! Go!

CHIKORITA: [APPEARING] / [EXCITED]

DAWN: Wow it's a Chikorita!

DAWN'S POKEDEX: Chikorita. The Leaf Pokémon. Chikorita uses the

leaf on its head to scan for warmth and humidity in its

surroundings, and loves to sunbathe.

LYRA: Hey, you with the Piplup over there!

DAWN: Who, me?

PIPLUP: [SURPRISED]

LYRA: I was wondering how you two would feel about having a

battle with this Chikorita! Come up! Now don't be shy!

DAWN, PIPLUP: [WORRIED]

TOTODILE: [EXCITED]

ASH: That sounds like fun, Dawn! Go on, do it!

LYRA: And if you win, I've got a fabulous prize to commemorate

the occasion for you!

DAWN: Prize? All right Piplup, let's go!

PIPLUP: [DETERMINED]

CHIKORITA: [DETERMINED]

LYRA: That's more like it!

ASH: You've got it, Dawn!

PIKACHU: [ENCOURAGING]

LYRA: All right, this is really a duel between two Trainers'

starting Pokémon from Johto and Sinnoh.

In the match of the century!

BROCK: Chikorita's got the advantage being a Grass type.

KHOURY'S FATHER: It's the battle between

Piplup and Chikorita Begin!

LYRA: Now Chikorita Razor Leaf!

CHIKORITA: [RAZOR LEAF MOVE]

PIPLUP: [PAINED]

DAWN: Piplup, Bubble Beam, now!

PIPLUP: [DETERMINED]

PIPLUP: [BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

LYRA: Quick, Light Screen, go!

CHIKORITA: [LIGHT SCREEN MOVE]

ASH, PIKACHU: [SHOCKED]

BROCK: Light Screen cut Bubble Beam's power by half!

ASH: You can do it, Dawn!

DAWN: Now, Piplup, use Peck!

PIPLUP: [PECK MOVE]

CHIKORITA: [PAINED]

DAWN: That's what I'm talking about!

KHOURY: Peck is a Flying-type att*ck so it's super effective

against a Grass-type Pokémon like Chikorita!

DAWN: Okay Bubble Beam once more!

PIPLUP: [BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

LYRA: Now, Light Screen quick!

CHIKORITA: [LIGHT SCREEN MOVE]

DAWN: Use Peck to break through!

PIPLUP: [PECK MOVE]

CHIKORITA: [YELP]

ASH: Perfect!

CHIKORITA: [DAZED]

KHOURY'S FATHER: Chikorita is unable to battle and the victory

goes to Piplup! Which makes Dawn our big winner!

DAWN: We did it!

BROCK: That Light Screen might have held up against Bubble

Beam, but it was no match against Piplup's Peck.

KHOURY: Looks like Dawn's strategy worked! I'm impressed!

LYRA: I guess my judgment was a little off Chikorita, and I'm

really sorry! But you still did a great job!

DAWN: Piplup, nice work!

PIPLUP: [PROUD]

LYRA: Congratulations, Dane!

DAWN: Thanks, Lyra! Your Chikorita battled hard!

LYRA: Thank you! Here!

LYRA: And the prize goes to our big winner, Dane!

LYRA: Go ahead, Dane, open it!

DAWN: Okay.

LYRA: And as you can see, Dane's prize is a fabulous Pokémon Egg!

DAWN: Awesome! An Egg!

DAWN: Thank you, Lyra!

PIPLUP: [GRATEFUL]

LYRA: Of course the question now is just what kind of Pokémon is

inside that Egg! You'll have to wait and see!

LYRA, DAWN, KHOURY'S FATHER, PIPLUP: [SHOCKED]

LYRA: Who in the world are they?

ASH: Team Rocket!

KHOURY: Hey, that food's for the festival!

JESSIE : Whoa! Twerpland!

KHOURY'S FATHER: Give back that food back right now!

JESSIE: So sorry sap, but you're a dollar short and a day late!

JAMES: Though I'll say the vittles taste great!

JESSIE: On the wind!

JAMES: Past the stars!

MEOWTH: Groovy grub, there mate!

JESSIE: Filling our tummies at a breakneck pace!

JAMES: Dashing hunger with a smile on my face!

JESSIE: Go ahead and ask me if I've got milk.

JAMES: We're members of the satiation ilk!

JESSIE: Jessie!

JAMES: And James!

MEOWTH: Meowth's the name!

JESSIE: Putting the foodless in their place!

JAMES: We're Team Rocket!

JAMES, JESSIE, MEOWTH: In your face!

LYRA: I thought that slapstick routine would never end!

JAMES: Brilliant prose is not measured in length Twerpette,

but in content!

JESSIE: Now, now! Big words will get you nowhere!

JESSIE: Besides, they're famished and we're not!

JAMES: Such beautiful words to live by!

MEOWTH: Whoa!

MEOWTH: Check out the Pokémon Egg under glass!

MEOWTH: Dig! Bagging it for the Boss is a gas! Yes!

LYRA, DAWN, KHOURY'S FATHER, PIPLUP: [SHOCKED]

MEOWTH: Ha! Dig it, the Egg was calling my name. What can I say?

JAMES: I say hooray!

JESSIE: That's the way!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Have a nice day!

DAWN: My Egg, no!

ASH: Give it back right now!

PIPLUP: [UPSET]

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: In your dreams Twerp! Ciao!

JAMES: Betrayed by an unscrupulous tree!

BROCK: They went down in the forest!

ASH: Let's get that Egg back!

LYRA: Hey, I want to come too! Wait!

KHOURY: What should I do? Good luck.

LYRA: You're coming with me, and that's that!

KHOURY: Ma'am!

TOTODILE: [DETERMINED]

ASH, BROCK, DAWN, PIPLUP: [EXERTION]

JESSIE: I couldn't eat another bite. Though I lie a lot.

JAMES: To tell the truth, there aren't many bites left.

MEOWTH: Yeah and tomorrow's another eating day!

JESSIE: How do I live in the eternal now if you're going to

grouse about a future without food? On an unrelated note, what

kind of Pokémon Egg might this be?

JAMES: Well, being from Johto might give us a clue.

JAMES: Perhaps a Celebi.

JESSIE: Or perhaps a Lugia!

MEOWTH: Wrong! If it's from Johto, it's gotta be an Entei!

JESSIE, JAMES: Entei!

MEOWTH: Well, we'll know when it pops.

MEOWTH: It's a Teddioisa!

JESSIE: Stop that nosh! That's my foodstuff!

TEDDIURSA: [SAD] / [UPSET]

JAMES: You brutess! You've made it bawl.

JESSIE: That's supposed to happen when

thieves bust thieves!

URSARING: [FURIOUS]

JAMES: Eek! An Ursaring!

MEOWTH: Must be a family affair!

JAMES: A family with anger issues!

MEOWTH: We make junior cry. Now we're going to fry!

URSARING: [ANGRY]

URSARING: [ATTACKING]

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Bye bye, big guy!

URSARING: [FURIOUS]

ASH: Now where'd they go?

DAWN: They couldn't have gotten very far, that's for sure!

LYRA: Chill, Khoury! Get it together!

KHOURY: It's just that this forest is such a big place.

BROCK: Ash, let's split up and look!

BROCK: We'll head that way! And Khoury you come with us!

KHOURY: Right!

LYRA: So I guess that means Dane and I will head over this way!

LYRA: Buck up, man! You'd better pull it together and fast!

KHOURY: Okay. I hear you.

ASH: Staraptor! I choose you!

STARAPTOR: [APPEARING] / [FOCUSED]

ASH: Fly around and look for Team Rocket!

I'm counting on you!

STARAPTOR: [DETERMINED]

LYRA: Let's go, Dane!

DAWN: Right!

PIPLUP: [DETERMINED]

ASH: We're going to get that Egg back for sure!

ASH: [EXERTION]

URSARING: [ANGRY]

MEOWTH: Our Egg!

JAMES: Come on, Meowth! No one ungifts our Boss!

JESSIE: Cool down!

URSARING: [FURIOUS]

JESSIE: Right behind you!

URSARING: [ANGRY]

JAMES: Bingo! Safe and sound!

MEOWTH: That's a load off my charm!

JAMES: Wait. Where's Jessie?

MEOWTH: Well, not here.

ASH: Those guys have to be around here somewhere!

BROCK: Ash, down there!

JESSIE: Will you lighten up?

JAMES: Jessie, where are you?

MEOWTH: Yeah, reveal yourself!

JAMES: I'll be! Our Egg just flashed!

MEOWTH: It's hatch and pop time!

JAMES: Oh joy!

STARAPTOR: [NOTICING]

ASH, BROCK, KHOURY, TOTODILE, PIKACHU: [EXERTION]

ASH: It definitely landed somewhere around here

KHOURY: I'm really sorry Ash,

but I guess I'm not all that much of a guide

STARATOR: [CALLING]

ASH, BROCK, KHOURY, TOTODILE, PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

ASH: Staraptor, any sign of Team Rocket?

STARAPTOR: [PLEASED]

BROCK: Khoury, why don't you give Lyra a call?

KHOURY: Got it!

KHOURY: We found them, Lyra!

LYRA: Thanks, Khoury! Dane, looks like they found them!

Let's kick it into overdrive!

DAWN: Do you know where they are?

LYRA: You leave everything to me!

LYRA: All right! Marill, come on out!

MARILL: [APPEARING] / [HAPPY]

LYRA: Khoury, position!

KHOURY: Gotcha! Hey Ash!

Lyra wants us to confirm our position!

ASH: So how do we do that?

LYRA: Marill! Use Water g*n and aim it toward the sky!

MARILL: [DETERMINED] / [WATER g*n MOVE]

ASH: What's that?

KHOURY: Totodile, use Water g*n!

TOTODILE: [WATER g*n MOVE]

DAWN: Oh, I get it!

LYRA: Okay Dane, let's move!

DAWN: Right!

JAMES: Jessie, speak up!

MEOWTH: Yelling ain't good for my Poké-throat!

JAMES: Wow, another flash in the can!

MEOWTH: We're talking more frequent regularity; you know?

MEOWTH: We're hanging on the hatch line!

TOTODILE: [WATER g*n MOVE]

MARILL: [WATER g*n MOVE]

TOTODILE: [WATER g*n MOVE]

MARILL: [WATER g*n MOVE]

ASH, BROCK, KHOURY, TOTODILE, PIKACHU: [EXERTION]

ASH: Over there! We're close!

BROCK: Hurry, Khoury and call Lyra once again!

KHOURY: Right!

KHOURY: Checking in, Lyra!

LYRA: Great! They're getting close, Dane!

DAWN: Awesome!

ASH: Gotcha!

JAMES, MEOWTH: No, it's a Twerp bust!

JAMES: Opinion?

MEOWTH: We've got to find Jess. Twerp or no Twerp!

JAMES, MEOWTH: Bonzai!

LYRA: Hold it right there, thieves!

DAWN: Give me back my Egg right now!

PIPLUP: [ANGRY]

JAMES: We're surrounded by Twerps! The stench of it!

MEOWTH: Let's battle them before they suck up all the air!

JAMES: Carnivine, assistance!

JAMES: I can comb my own hair, thank you very much!

KHOURY: Cool! A Carnivine!

KHOURY'S POKEDEX, [MALE]: Carnivine. The Bug Catcher

Pokémon. Carnivine latches onto trees in marshes and lures its

prey with its sweet-smelling saliva.

LYRA: Khoury Don't you think there are better times for that?

JAMES: Carnivine, do the deed with b*llet Seed!

CARNIVINE: [b*llet SEED MOVE]

ASH, BROCK, KHOURY, PIKACHU: [STRUGGLING]

JAMES: That's the way it's done!

MEOWTH: Egg poacher!

CARNIVINE: [PROUD]

ASH, PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

KHOURY: Way to go, Totodile!

ASH: Your turn, Pikachu!

KHOURY: Totodile!

LYRA: Marill!

KHOURY, LYRA: Use Water g*n!

TOTODILE, MARILL: [WATER g*n MOVE][WATER g*n MOVE]

JAMES: I suppose tomorrow we strap off the old feedbag.

MEOWTH: Speaking of which, maybe Jess went to a diner.

JAMES, MEOWTH: While we blast off again!

LYRA: Well, I guess that settles things!

DAWN: The Egg's fine! Wow, what a relief!

ASH: And it's starting to glow!

JAMES: Wow, I'm so embarrassed!

MEOWTH: Save the sad sack and let's go find Jess!

JESSIE: Yoo hoo!

JAMES: Jessie!

MEOWTH: You okay, kid?

JESSIE: The last time I was this terrified, I couldn't get my

hair and nails done! What a nightmare!

URSARING [X]: [ANGRY]

URSARING: [ANGRY]

URSARING: [ANGRY]

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Always the same You never get a blast

off when you need one!

KHOURY'S FATHER: I'm just relieved that everyone's okay!

ASH: Well you can thank Lyra for that!

LYRA: I heard there's going to be a Pokémon Contest in Lilypad

Town I'd really like to go!

KHOURY: Dad, I want something, too!

KHOURY'S FATHER: What's that?

KHOURY: I'd really like to spend

some time traveling around with Brock!

KHOURY: I want to learn more about being a Pokémon Breeder,

and you can teach me!

KHOURY'S FATHER: I see. Well, would you all like to take these

two along with you for a little while?

ASH: Sure! That'd be fine!

LYRA, KHOURY: All right!

DAWN: Lyra, that's great!

LYRA: It sure is, Dane! And now I'll get to see a real contest!

I am so looking forward to this!

DAWN: Yeah! I look forward to it too!

DAWN: Could it be time already?

CYNDAQUIL: [APPEARING]

CYNDAQUIL: [ATTACKING]

DAWN: That's hot!

KHOURY'S FATHER, KHOURY, LYRA,

ASH, BROCK, MARILL: [SURPRISED] / [AMUSED]

NARRATOR: Now that Dawn has added a brand new

Cyndaquil to the family and our heroes have added new friends as

as their journey continues!
