[bunniefuu]

(narrator) Reveling in Ash's second Unova region Gym victory

our heroes are now bound for the Castelia City Gym

site of Ash's third Unova Gym Battle.

Just six more. Let's make it happen, Pikachu.

- Pika! - Axew.

[gibberish]

Axew.

Axe. Axe. Axe. Axew.

[clanking]

[screaming]

[groaning]

[gibberish]

- Axew, what's going on? - Axew! Axew! Ash!

[gasping]

(Iris) 'Ash, the egg is glowing!'

- Huh? - Wow, it's true!

Pika!

When it glows, you know what that means.

It won't be long before it's going to hatch.

Alright! Wow!

I can't wait to see what kind of Pokemon it is

Pikachu, you know?

Pika-Pikachu!

[instrumental music]

(Ash) "Scraggy - Hatched To Be Wild!"

[instrumental music]

- Uh.. - Of course!

I guess you've never ever seen a Pokemon Egg hatch before

have you, Axew?

- Huh? - Pika, Pika!

Everyone's really excited, aren't they?

Axew, you're going to be a big brother soon!

Yoo!

- Yes! Yeah! Yeah! - You're thrilled! Yay!

(Axew) Ha-ha. Yoo! Ah!

[all gasping]

- Come back! - Hold on!

- Catch that egg! - 'Wait up!'

Pika!

Please, stop!

[screaming]

Alright, Pikachu, Quick Attack!

[grunting]

[all gasping]

Pika! Pika-Pika!

[groans]

- Pikachu, you okay? - Pi..

- Pikachu. - And the egg?

Pi-pi-pi. Pikachu!

Yes! Great job, Pikachu!

- Is the egg alright? - Mm-hmm. It's fine.

Pika-Pika.

- Pikachu, thanks. - Pika.

- I'm sorry, Ash. - Axew.

Ah, don't worry about it, Iris. The egg's safe.

Thank goodness nothing went wrong.

[all gasping]

- Look, it's hatching! - I am so psyched!

Scraggy.

Scragg! Scragg.

[all gasping]

- It's a Scraggy! - A Scraggy?

(Pokedex) Scraggy, the Shedding Pokemon.

The lower half of Scraggy's body

is covered by a tough rubbery skin

and when someone makes eye contact

it responds with Headbutt.

- I'm Ash. Nice to meet you. - Scraggy.

Pika! Pikachu!

- Scragg! - Pika?

It's Leer. What do you know?

Scragg!

[groans]

- That was Headbutt! - Why'd it do that?

- Yeah. What's the deal? - Yeah.

So why did you use Headbutt?

Does that mean you want to battle?

Scragg?

[grunts]

- Pika? - Great!

Have a battle with Scraggy as a welcome gift.

Pika?

Now, let's see what moves Scraggy knows.

(Pokedex) Scraggy's moves are Leer and Headbutt.

What? That's it?

Well, Axew only knows Scratch and Dragon Rage.

- It's the same thing. - Well, guess you're right.

[chuckles]

Also remember, Scraggy was just hatched.

There you go!



Okay, Scraggy, Leer!

Scragg! Scragg! Scragg!

- Pika? - Huh?

It doesn't look like it did a thing!

Alright, Scraggy, use Headbutt next!

- Scraggy! - Pika!

[all gasping]

Pika-Pika.

It doesn't seem to be doing anything.

Okay, Pikachu, Counter Attack!

Use Thunderbolt, let's go!

Maybe a bit more like Thunder Burp.

[grunting]

[groaning]

Oh, no! Scraggy, are you okay?

Scraggy! Scraggy! Scraggy!

Scraggy still seems raring to go.

Yeah! Scraggy's up for a battle even after that.

- My kind of Pokemon. - You know what?

It looks like your little brother's kind of a pain.

Axew.

(Ash) 'Come on out, everybody!'

I want you all to meet our new friend.

So say hello to Scraggy.

[gibberish]

[gibberish]

- Scraggy! - Ooh!

[gibberish]

That wasn't what I meant.

I highly doubt Pidove was expecting Headbutt.

Oshawott. Oshawott.

Scraggy.

- Scraggy! - Huh?

[grunting] Oshawott! Osha!

[gibberish]

[grunting]

- 'Ah..' - Huh?

- Oshawott, Scraggy! - Scraggy!

[all gasping]

[groaning]

- Um, are you alright? - Pikachu?

Hey, Scraggy!

[grunting]

[grunting]

- Scraggy! - Well.

So that's how Scraggy defends.

- Scragg? - Hmph!

Scraggy's attacking everything in sight!

I have to agree.

Spirit's a good thing, but..

(Cilan) 'It doesn't seem to matter right now.'

'Scraggy does look rather dizzy after all of those Headbutts.'

(Ash) 'Whoa!'

[chuckles] That's funny!

Axew.

[groaning]

Scragg! Scragg!

Huh? No!

[groaning]

Scragg! Scragg! Scragg!

[grunting]

Scragg! Scragg! Scraggy! Scraggy! Scraggy!

[gibberish]

[sighs] Don't you think you've done enough for now?

- Scragg! - Ah!

- Scragg. - Huh?

- Huh? - Scraggy!

Scraggy.

- 'You do have the meteorite?' - Of course, we do!

The rendezvous point is

MT-KS.

- And, please, don't be late. - Roger.

We've finally reached Stage Two.

(Jessie) 'Right.'

There it is.

(James) 'Rendezvous point in ---. Let's hurry.'

[birds chirping]

[gibberish]

[chomping]

- 'Scraggy.' - Ah..

Scraggy, why don't you come over and eat with the g*ng?

Scraggy.

I haven't got the foggiest idea what Scraggy's thinking.

Perhaps Scraggy's in shock

that it was beaten by Ash's other Pokemon.

- Is that true? - Scragg!

Axew.

[footsteps approaching]

MT-KS.

- 'No doubt about it.' - 'Let's go.'

[crickets creaking]

Huh?

[chomping]

Great! Scraggy's finally eating Pokemon food.

Pikachu!

Now, if only Scraggy would eat with everyone else!

Axew-ew.

Okay, Scraggy, it's about time for you

to get in your Poke Ball.

- 'Scraggy!' - Huh?



(Ash) 'Uh, what? You don't wanna?'

Scragg! Scragg! Scragg!

(Cilan) 'Maybe Scraggy wants to stay out

because it was just hatched.'

[crickets creaking]

[Scraggy mumbling]

Yeah.

Huh?

(Scraggy) 'Huh? Huh?'

Axe!

Axe. Axe. Axe. Axew!

[gibberish]

- Axew! Axew! - What, Axew? What's wrong?

Axew! Axew!

What? You mean, Scraggy's gone?

Uh, wake up, guys!

- Uh.. - Uh, what's up?

Pika?

- Ash, Scraggy's gone! - Gone?

You're kidding!

- 'Scraggy!' - 'Where are you?'

- Pika, Pika! - Hey, Scraggy!

Axew! Axew!

- Huh? - What's wrong?

- Axew! Axew! - Huh? Over there!

(Ash) 'Scraggy's footprints!'

Scraggy! Scraggy!

Scraggy! Scraggy!

- Huh? - Axew.

Hey, Scraggy, what are you doing over there?

- Pika, Pika! - Scraggy?

- Galvantula! - Scraggy!

Huh? A Galvantula!

[whimpering]

Galvantula?

(Pokedex) 'Galvantula, the EleSpider Pokemon.'

'Galvantula attacks its prey'

'by sh**ting electrically charged threads'

'and its front mandibles can hold down opponents.'

This is bad!

If Scraggy gets bitten by Galvantula..

[grunting] Scraggy!

Pika-Pika!

- Galvantula - Ah-ah-ah..

(group) Who's that Pokemon?

(group) It's Scraggy!

(Scraggy) Scraggy!

- Hey, Scraggy! - Galvantula!

[whimpers]

[grunting] Scragg!

- Scraggy, no! - Scraggy, no!

You can't win!

[grunting]

- Scragg! - Axew!

[groaning]

Scragg-gg!

- Ah! - Uh..

- Scraggy, no! - Galvan..

Pikachu, Thunderbolt! Let's go!

[grunting]

[groaning]

- Hey, Scraggy, you okay? - Scraggy.

Scraggy took a direct hit from Galvantula.

- Poor Scraggy. - Scraggy.

Scraggy, stop it!

Cilan, is there a Pokemon Center near here?

Let me see.

- I'm afraid not. - Leave it to me.

I'm going to go and find some herbs to cure the paralysis.

- That's great. - Axew, let's go!

Axew. Axew. Axew. Axew!

- Scraggy, hang in there! - Pika.

Axew! Axew!

You found it! Axew, that's just what we need!

[gibberish]

Now let's find some herbs to make Scraggy feel better.

Axew. Axew.

Scragg. Scragg..

It's ready!

Axew.

Here. This will help you.

(Ash) 'Scraggy, down the hatch.'

Scragg.

(Iris) 'And this will make you feel better.'

Scragg.

Ew..

- Great! Way to go! - Ah.

Now Scraggy needs a good night's rest.

Scraggy, sleep well, okay?

Yeah, yeah.

Scragg!

Scraggy.

Scraggy.

[helicopter whirring]

[dramatic music]

[helicopter whirring]

[helicopter whirring]

You are now safely aboard Team Rocket's mobile research lab.

Let me introduce you to Dr. Zager.

Please show me the meteorite you stole.



Sir.

- 'Here.' - 'Hm..'

(Zager) 'I'll begin analysis straight away.'

There is no doubt the meteorite is made of a material

not found in this world.

[all gasping]

Now, this is just the reaction I was looking for!

We need to do further analysis. Hurry!

Off to the location of our next mission.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

[helicopter whirring]

Scraggy. Scraggy.

Scragg?

- Hey, Scraggy, feel better now? - Scraggy!

- That's great! - Pika.

- You look much better, too! - Yeah, yeah.

Scraggy, remember what happened yesterday?

Scragg?

Scragg.

Then Iris whipped you up some awesome medicine.

Axew helped me find the herbs.

So I think you ought to thank everyone.

- Scraggy! - Wait!

Its almost time for breakfast, Scraggy!

Where are you going? Stop!

Huh? Axew.

Scraggy! Scraggy!

Scraggy. Scraggy.

Scraggy! Scraggy!

Scraggy! Scraggy!

'Scraggy!'

Scraggy! Scraggy!

[grunting]

A-Axew! Axew!

- Scraggy. - Let's go.

Scraggy. Scraggy.

Axew! Axew!

- Huh? - Whoa, Axew, what's wrong?

- Axew. - Pika?

Seems like something bad happened.

Okay, we've got to go help Scraggy!

[gibberish]

Scraggy. Scraggy.

Scraggy. Scraggy! Scraggy!

Scraggy! Scraggy!

Scraggy!

[groaning]

- 'Scraggy!' - Pika!

Scragg..

[grunting]

Alright, everyone, protect Scraggy!

[grunts]

[grunts]

[grunts]

[grunting]

Oshawott!

[screaming]

[grunting]

[groans]

[grunting]

[groaning]

[groaning]

[gibberish]

- 'Scraggy! Scraggy!' - Scragg?

- Scraggy, are you okay? - Scragg!

And you guys, thanks!

[gibberish]

You know you shouldn't be messing with that tree.

Maybe this was about revenge.

After what happened?

- Yeah! - I'm just glad you're alright.

Scraggy!

Hey, Scraggy, let's all eat breakfast together.

- What do you say? - Scraggy!

[gibberish]

Scraggy.

[gibberish]

- Axew! - Scragg! Scraggy!

- Scraggy! - Axew. Axew. Axew.

- Scragg! - Axew! Axew!

[grunting]

Huh? Axew, You shouldn't fight!

She's right! Scraggy, you, too!

- Hmph. - Hey, that's it.

I just realized.

Scraggy would be the perfect training partner for Axew!

[all gasping]

That would be great! What do you think?

Scraggy!

Would you like to have a battle with Scraggy, Axew?

Axew! Axew! Axew!

[grunting]

Awesome! They're both so psyched!

Okay, then let's battle!

- Axew, you can do it! - Axew!

- All the way, Scraggy! - Scragg!

And begin!

Alright, Scraggy, Leer!

Scraggy! Scraggy! Scraggy!

[gasps] Axew!



- Scraggy, now use Headbutt! - Scraggy!

[groaning]

Awesome! Good job!

Axew, use Scratch to counter!

Axew!

Scraggy!

- Axew, great stuff! - Axew! Axew! Axew!

Scratch, and keep using it!

- Scraggy! - Axew!

- Scraggy! - Axew!

[grunting]

Don't give up, Scraggy! Use Headbutt!

Scraggy!

[groans]

- You can't give up now! - Axew!

Yeah! Dragon Rage, let's go!

Axew!

Headbutt, one more time!

Scraggy!

[gasping]

[groaning]

[chuckling] It didn't work again.

Scraggy.

So I think I'll be calling this a draw.

I guess so, but it sure looked like a real battle.

- Don't you think? - I wonder..

Hey, Scraggy, you want to work hard with me?

Scraggy.

I want you to work and get stronger, too, Axew.

Axew!

Well, I'm looking forward to seeing the two of you

refine your skills

along with the rest of your Pokemon friends, of course.

So, Scraggy, why don't you get a little rest?

- Scraggy? - Oh, yeah, okay!

Scraggy, let's be good friends!

Scraggy!

Alright! I've got a Scraggy!

Yay! Pikachu!

Axew! Axew! Axew!

(narrator) So a brand-new Pokemon makes

for a brand-new friend.

And with that new friend

our heroes resume their trek to the Castelia City Gym

as the journey continues.
