01x08 - Out of Their Elements! (Pokémon Circus! Booster and Thunders!!)

[bunniefuu]

[narrator] Ash's goal is to battle

one of the world's
greatest Trainers, Leon.

Goh's goal is to catch
one of every kind of Pokémon,

including Mew.

This is the story
of their adventure-filled journey

through the world of Pokémon!

[camera shutter clicks]

[Chloe panting]

[both babbling]

[babbling continues]

[Chloe] Hi!

-Sorry to keep you waiting!
-Huh?

-[Goh] Hey, Chloe!
-[soft chuckle]

[Chloe breathes deeply]

This is where they're holding
the Pokémon Circus.

[Chloe] Wow! It's just how I pictured it!

-[Goh] Yeah...
-[Ash] Let's go!

[Pokémon exclaiming]

[Goh] I'm kind of nervous...

[narrator] At this circus,

Pokémon and their partners give dynamic

and crowd-pleasing performances

based on their skills.

After winning a raffle,
Ash and Goh were invited

to be guest performers for the day.

[Chloe] Hello.

[all gasp]

-[Goh] Amazing!
-[Ash] Awesome!

[Pikachu] Pikachu!

[both gasp]

[Chloe] It's an Eevee!

Start now!

[grunts]

[squeals]

[all gasp]

[Pokémon exclaim]

Excellent jump!

Thanks, Bernice!

[happy exclaim]

Here I come!

-Let's go!
-[Toril grunts]

-[all gasp]
-Awesome!

Pika!

Isn't it great, Eevee?

Eevee-vee!

[theme music]

[Ash and Goh] "Out Of Their Elements!"

[drumroll]

The circus means... adventure!

Welcome to a world of dreams
and adventure!

[Showman]
I assume you two are Ash and Goh.

Aren't you the excavation leader?

No way.

He's the Museum of Science director, eh?

Both wrong.

I happen to run the circus you see here.

Just call me the Showman!

Greetings... kids!

[Ash and Goh] Uh, greetings to you!

Our rehearsal. Your thoughts?

-I thought it was awesome!
-My heart's racing!

Mm-hmm.

A circus that can cause the heart to race...

That's called adventure!

-[Chloe] Um...
-Huh?

'Scuse me. My name is Chloe,

and Ash and Goh are my best friends.

Do you mind if Eevee and I
watch the rehearsal too?

Not at all!

I saw that you're going to have
a Jolteon and Flareon

performing in the circus, right?

I'd like to meet them if possible.

[laughing]

Perfect timing!

The truth is these Eevee
are going to evolve soon.

[all gasp excitedly]

I'd like you to meet...

Two of our human performers,
Harmony and Billy.

They're scheduled to be the finale,

performing on the flying trapeze.

Nice to meet you. I'm Harmony.

And I simply adore Fire types!

And this is my partner, Bernice.

[babbles]

And I'm Billy.

I love Electric types
above everything else.

And this is my partner, Toril.

[babbles]

Performing with Fire types
sets my heart ablaze!

We're talking hot!

Ha! Fire types are just so yesterday!

Electric types
will continue to shock the world!

[annoyed groan]

Mark my words.

They're both vying to be a star.

We'll see who comes out ahead!

Does that mean they're rivals?

That's why it's so tense around here.

[Pokémon exclaiming]

You two, will you allow Chloe to witness

the Evolution of your Eevee, please?

Of course. No problem at all!

That's the reason why I even got
an Evolution Stone in the first place.

And I just so happened to receive
an Evolution Stone

as a gift from a friend of mine.

I'll be using this Fire Stone.

Bernice will then evolve into Flareon

and ignite a fiery hot performance!

I'm going to use this Thunder Stone

in order to evolve Toril into Jolteon

and create a crackling good performance!

Hold on! I'm first,

so don't try cutting in line!

You'd just better stay out of my way
because I'm up first!

-[Harmony] No, I'm first!
-[Billy] No, I am!

-[Harmony] What's your problem?
-[Billy] What's yours?

-Bernice, come here!
-Let's do this, Toril...

[both grunt, yelp]

[all gasping]

[both groaning]

[Bernice murmuring]

[Rotom Phone]
Jolteon. The Lightning Pokémon.

An Electric type.

Jolteon puts out an electric charge
equivalent to 10,000 volts.

Quite high-strung,
it's not easy to befriend.

[chimes]

Flareon. The Flame Pokémon.

A Fire type.

Flareon stores some of the air it breathes
in an internal flame pouch,

where it heats the air to 3,000 degrees.

Bernice's an Electric type?

I can't believe it!

[Harmony] It's... a Jolteon?

[mumbles]

Toril evolved into... a Fire type?

-[Billy] A Flareon?
-[groans]

-It can't be!
-How am I going to deal with this?

-How? How?
-This is all your fault!

You're responsible for this!

Do-over. I brought one more!

Hey, do-over! Just one more time!

[Harmony and Billy grunt]

-You mean there are no do-overs?
-Does that mean it can't be done?

-Seriously? Now what?
-What am I going to do now?

Will you get it together?

[both] Huh? Huh...

But how do we do a flaming trapeze
performance like this? Tell me!

And I put together
an entirely electrical performance!

What shall I do?

Hmm...

Without both of your performances,
things will be bad...

Hey! I know!

Since there's not much time left,

why don't you just exchange Pokémon
for the performance?

[both] Hmm...

-[shocked gasp]
-[heavy sigh]

You mean switching partners?

Think of the Pokémon. Their feelings!

[both] Hmm...

I can accept it this one time.

After all, that's what professionals
should do, right?

Well, for the sake of the performance,

guess we'll have to
at least give it a try.

[both groan]

[Harmony and Billy] Hmph!

-Will they be okay?
-Yeah.

Sorry for the preshow confusion, folks.

So, let's start rehearsing your part!

[Ash and Goh] Right!

[Showman] Okay, Ash and Goh,
your parts will be...

[Ash groaning]

[groaning continues]

[breathing heavily]

[groans]
Pikachu...

Pikachu... Use Thunderbolt!

[Pikachu] Pika... chu!

Argh!

-[zapping]
-[screams]

-Pika... Pika...
-[Ash groans painfully]

[groaning]

-[groaning continues]
-[Grookey babbling]

[Goh] Grookey, use Branch Poke!

[grunts]

[groans]

[pained groaning]

It looks kind of hard...

[Harmony] No, no! Once more from the top!

Now you'll jump
with a three, two, and one!

Toril, are you even listening?

[Harmony] I need you to concentrate!

[Billy] Bernice,
how many times must I say it?

I give the signal,
and you put out the shock!

[sighs]
Oh, dear.

Bernice doesn't listen.

[Billy] This is a complete waste
of rehearsal time.

[gasps]

[sighs]

They wanna be with their partners

even after they evolved, don't they?

Eevee...

[Ash] Who's that Pokémon?

[soft upbeat music]

-Pika?
-[Jolteon] Jolteon!

Pika, pika!

Fire team, assemble!

[Pokémon exclaim]

I want each of you to use Ember!

[Pokémon grunting]

[Bernice grunts]

Huh?

Well, hi there, Bernice.

Why are you here?

[mumbles]

Something wrong?

You should be practicing with Billy,
shouldn't you?

[mumbling]

[groaning]

Let's go!

Use Thunder Shock!

[Pokémon grunting]

[Toril yells]

Perfect!

Toril, it's you!

[mumbles]

Why are you here?

You know you should be
practicing with Harmony,

-don't you?
-[mumbles]

Oh...

[Showman] Hmm... Is that true?

Are you telling me that Bernice and Toril

just can't accept working
with a different partner?

-Yes...
-Yeah...

Listen, Bernice.

My performance is totally fire-based.

Understand?

[groans]

And, Toril, I know you know my performance
is completely electricity-based.

-[growls]
-Huh?

I've got it!

I'm not sure it will work,
but I want you to continue rehearsing

with your original partners.

And that means... adventure!
[chuckles]

[both] Hmm...

All right then...

We'll do our best.

Hi, everybody!

Can't wait to work with you all today!

-Pika!
-Grookey-groo!

Eevee-vee!

Oh... You're back!

What's this?

[Chloe] Harmony
is with Bernice instead of Toril.

[Ash] You're right!

We've decided that perhaps rehearsing
with their true partners

is the best thing.

[Showman] We'll see...

And now!

[Pokémon grunting]

Uh...

The electricity's pretty and all, but...

[cries]

Let's go!

[Pokémon grunting]

Uh...

Fire certainly is quite powerful...

[Billy] Hmm...

[cries]

It doesn't seem to be working out.

Maybe the only alternative is to cancel

the flying trapeze performance for now.

[shocked gasp]

But right before the show's opening?

[Harmony] He's right.

Otherwise, it would mean
a second-class performance

before paying customers.

And I can't accept that.

I'm sorry.

This is absolutely not your fault.

I'm going to take a break.

[worried mumble]

[sad mumble]

[Billy] Showman?

-Did I hear right?
-I'm afraid so.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah, I guess it can't be helped. Huh?

None of this is your fault. Don't worry.

Give me a few minutes, please.

-Eevee!
-[both] Hmm?

I wonder where they went...

Ee... Eevee!

[panting]

[Bernice grunts]

-Vee!
-Huh?

[both yell]

[blasts]

[both scream]

[zaps]

[mumbling]

-[Ash] Special training?
-Hm?

That makes sense.

Huh?

I think they wanna combine
their powers for the sake of the show.

Vee!

-Eevee!
-Huh?

Eevee!

Eevee!

Ee... vee!

[blasts]

[both gasp]

Ee... vee...

Ee... vee!

[zaps]

[both gasp]

[both groan]

[happy mumbling]

Do you think that means Eevee wants
to appear in the show with them?

-Looks that way.
-That's a great idea!

Hey! Please let us join you, too!

-[both groan]
-Eevee?

-[Ash] Let's all practice together!
-[Pikachu] Pika!

[Ursaring groaning]

-Aw... Everything's come apart.
-Hmm?

And it's all because of a certain someone...

Hmph! Really?
That's what I was going to say!

If only my Toril had become Jolteon
in the first place.

Well, if only my Bernice
had evolved into Flareon!

-[Chloe] Excuse me.
-[both] Huh? Hmm?

May I ask you to please come with me?

There's something
I think you should both see.

-Huh?
-Uh-huh?

[Ash] Here goes!

[grunts]

[blasts]

And one more from me!

[Goh] Let's go!

[both grunt]

[zaps]

Bernice...

Toril too...

We've just gotten started!

Ee... vee!

[Goh] My turn! Go!

Ee... vee!

[zaps]

[groans]

[happy mumbling]

[both grunting]

[explodes]

-[happy gasp]
-Pika!

-Look at that...
-Grookey-key!

Eevee...

-[Billy] Toril...
-[Harmony] Bernice...

What is it you both think you're doing?

Why are you two practicing together?

I think they're doing it
for their partners.

They created a brand-new performance
just for you.

They combined their powers
and practiced real hard!

[Chloe] Can't you find a way
to make it work for their sake?

[both] Hmm...

Bernice... thank you!

Thanks to you too, Toril.

These two are giving it their all.

Then maybe we should do the same!

[Harmony] Let's combine skills
however we can...

[Billy] For a great performance!

[fireworks exploding]

[crowd cheering, applauding]

[Showman]
Next up are our special guests for today,

as Ash, Pikachu, Goh, and Grookey

make their...

debut... adventure!

-[crowd cheering]
-[both exclaim happily]

Let's go, Pikachu!

Pikachu!

[groaning]

[playful music]

-Ah...
-[Pikachu grunts]

[Ash] Use Thunderbolt!

Pika... chu!

-Grookey-key! Grookey-key!
-Now, Grookey, go!

[Goh] Use Branch Poke!

Grookey-key! Grook!

[whooshing]

[grunts]

-We can do it!
-Awesome!

Pikachu!

[grunts]

[whooshes]

[both groan]

[explodes]

[crowd cheering]

[Showman] Now wasn't that
a fabulous performance?

And for our finale...

Harmony, Jolteon, Billy, and Flareon

will put on a flying trapeze adventure!

And their helpers are...

Chloe and Eevee!

[crowd cheering]

[celebratory music]

Here we go!

[Bernice and Toril grunting]

Toril!

Bernice!

-It's so pretty!
-It sure is!

Eevee, you're next!

Eevee!

Ee... vee!

[explodes]

[chuckles]

[Pokémon grunting]

[Pokémon yelling]

[fireworks explode]

-Yeah!
-Oh, so good!

Bravo!

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

[Showman] Adventure!

[both gasp happily]

-[Pikachu gasps]
-Grookey-key! Grookey-key!

[Eevee] Vee!

Ee... vee!

[Bernice and Toril grunt]

[fireworks exploding]

-[spectator 1] That was so much fun!
-[spectator 2] Can't wait to come back!

[Billy] The show was a tremendous success!

[Ash] And awesomely fun too!

[Goh] Thanks so much!

-Grookey-key!
-Pika!

[Harmony] We're sorry to drag you in
so suddenly, Chloe.

But thanks to you,
we had a spectacular show!

Mm-hmm.

I'm just so happy I could be involved too!

Eevee? You looked like you had fun!

Eevee-vee-vee!

We'd like you to have a thank you gift.

From both of us.

With gratitude.

-[all gasp]
-Hey, aren't those...

[Harmony] This one is a Fire Stone.

[Billy] And this one is a Thunder Stone.

[Harmony] Use whatever stone you like
when the time comes for Eevee to evolve.

Thank you both so, so much!

I'd love to see you evolve it
into Jolteon.

I had no idea how cool Electric types are!

[mumbles]

My vote would be for Flareon.

Fire type Pokémon really turn up the heat!

[mumbles]

What's that...

[chuckles]
You're surprised?

Thanks to all of you.

We've gained
a much wider perspective on things.

Wow! I wonder what your Eevee
will wanna evolve into...

-It'll be fun to see!
-Hmm...

Please, Eevee.

No matter what decision you make,
let's always be together!

Eevee-vee!

[laughing]

[narrator] After seeing a different way
for a bond to form

between Pokémon and Trainer,

Chloe and Eevee now wonder
about their future,

as the journey continues!
