06x28 - Seeing is Believing!

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR Dewford Island is filled with lots of surprises

and meeting up with Professor Birch turned out

to be one of them. One more for breakfast?

No problem for the master chef!

Brock's cooking has got to be the best I've ever tasted!

Told you, professor.

Aww, guys! You don't really mean that, do you?

Yeah, May's cooking can't even come close.

Thanks, Max. You're too kind.

Professor, I got an idea.

Wanna take a look at some of the new Pokémon

that I caught?

That's a great idea.

Alright! Come on out, guys!

[APPEARING]

Ah, a Treecko, a Taillow and a Corphish!

Hello, there, how's it going?

[EXERTION]

That's just Corphish's way of saying hello

but it seems to really like you.

[chuckles] It sure does.

That's okay, no harm done.

Now, let's look at my Pokémon, professor.

Come on out, Silcoon!

[APPEARING]

Whoa! That is one awesome Silcoon.

It'll become a stunning Beautifly.

- You think so? - I do!

Okay, my turn!

Come on out, Lotad and Mudkip!

[APPEARING]

So Mudkip and Lotad. Interesting.

Mmm. Hey, Lotad, what's going on there?

That Lotad.. It's kind of a daydreamer, professor.

[AMUSED]

[SHOCK]

ASH "Seeing is Believing!"

I just adore cleaning my precious little Silcoon.

[CONTENT]

I can't wait for it to evolve into a Beautifly.

Uh, that could be a long time.

How could it be a Silcoon

when it's busy being a Cascoon? Huh?

According to this card I found yesterday

a Silcoon looked like this.

Hm? Hm? Hm?

Obviously that card you found is wrong!

Just ignore him, Silcoon.

[HAPPY]

JAMES/MEOWTH It's a lost cause.

So where should we go for our Pokémon training today?

Dewford Island has lots of choices.

You could train almost anywhere.

And it's bursting with new Pokémon too!

- Yep! - Yay!

But if it's bursting, where are they?

[EXERTION]

[CONFUSED]

What's that?

[EXERTION]

I believe it's a Seedot.

A Seedot?

POKEDEX Seedot, the Acorn Pokémon.

Seedot resembles an acorn

when hanging by its head from branches.

It jumps down suddenly to the surprise of passers-by.

So these are Seedot?

They sure don't look very happy, do they?

They get this way when they don't have enough water.

I have some water! This'll cheer 'em up!

[CURIOUS]

Go ahead, have some!

[NEGATIVE]

What? Not thirsty?

Hey, Professor Birch!

I thought Seedot drink by sucking moisture

from the trees when they're hanging from a branch.

Yes, that's exactly right.

So in that case, drink up!

[NEGATIVE]

Huh?

Maybe that tree's out of moisture?

- Hmm. Hm? - Huh?

Looks like a landslide.

It's possible the trees they like to drink from

have been knocked over by it.

Oh, no! No wonder they're sad.

Did you know you can cheer up a Seedot by polishing

its body with a leaf?

Wow!

[CONCERN]

[HAPPY]

You were right! They love it!

That was a great idea.

You got to know what makes a Pokémon tick if you're gonna

get in tune with their inner thoughts and feelings.

[HAPPY]

Roll over, Seedot! Roll over, Seedot!

SEEDOT [HAPPY]

Roll over! Roll over!

Brock, is Professor Birch's fieldwork all about playing

with the Pokémon he's studying?

It's his way of talking

to the Pokémon on their own level.

Ha ha ha! Roll over!

SEEDOT [HAPPY]

That some sort of new dance?

If it is, it'll never catch on.

That's for sure.

But while he's rollin' around

let's steal those Seedot!

Are you thinking of giving them to the Boss?

MEOWTH He'll wake in the mornin' with a smile on his face

and the Seedot will be there waitin'

to help him with his daily exercise program.

JAMES But does he have a daily exercise program?

MEOWTH The Seedot will help with his rhythm and motivation

and he'll look at them fondly and say..

"Meowth and his assistants who caught these Pokémon

for me are a credit to Team Rocket."

I don't know.

It doesn't matter, let's just catch them anyway!

[AGREEMENT]

[laughing] How's that, Seedot? This feel good?

[AFFIRMATIVE]

Roll over!

Oh, no! A Haze Attack!

[laughing]

We'll take those Seedot now!

And who are you?

ASH/MAY/BROCK/MAX Team Rocket!

Right! Now go, Seviper!

[EXERTION]

Oh, no, you don't! Go, Corphish!

[APPEARING]

Vicegrip Attack!

[VICEGRIP MOVE]

SEVIPER [PAINED]

Okay! Go, Silcoon!

[APPEARING]

That's not a Silcoon, you know!

It's a Cascoon!

What? Cascoon? You've hurt its feelings!

This is a Silcoon, so don't go calling it anything else!

- Oh, boy! - Tried tellin' ya.

Let me show you a real Silcoon!

Come on out, Silcoon!

[APPEARING]

Yeah, big deal, they look just alike!

Yes, they share a slight resemblance

but there's a big difference in their eyes.

A Cascoon has bright, clear eyes.

Yes, you're correct.

My Silcoon does have nice bright and clear eyes. Thanks!

I'm anxious for it to turn into a Beautifly.

Now, Silcoon, Tackle!

[TACKLE MOVE]

Silcoon, use Tackle too!

[TACKLE MOVE]

[gasps]

What's that?

Looks like Silcoon is starting to evolve.

[HAPPY]

Yay! Silcoon evolved into a Beautifly!

POKEDEX Beautifly, the Butterfly Pokémon.

Beautifly is the evolved form of Silcoon.

It loves sweet pollen and riding the spring breeze

from flower to flower.

What?

That Twerp's Silcoon became a Beautifly

instead of mine?

So maybe my precious Silcoon just needs a little motivation!

We've lost her for good this time, Meowth.

It's a cryin' shame.

Alright, I'll show you what my Silcoon can do

against your no-good, pathetic Beautifly!

Go, Silcoon, String Shot!

[STRING SHOT MOVE]

[SCARED]

Beautifly!

[EXERTION]

No fair!

Corphish, Crab Hammer!

[CRAB HAMMER MOVE]

[PAINED]

[screaming]

Why does my darling Silcoon

refuse to evolve into a Beautifly?

Simple, it's a Cascoon.

Like we been tryin' to tell you!

- Not true! - It's true!

[HAPPY]

Hey, the Seedot look happy now.

BEAUTIFLY [HAPPY]

You know what, May? That's one fine Beautifly.

Thank you, professor!

My Beautifly's gonna be awesome in Pokémon Contests!

[AFFIRMATIVE]

I almost forgot.

- May, this is for you. - Huh?

It's a special jelly for Beautifly.

I made it myself for the day when Silcoon evolved.

Wow. You're the greatest, Brock.

You wanna try some, Beautifly?

[EXCITED]

A word of advice. You wanna do well in contests?

You've got to start working hard on your attacks.

What attacks can Beautifly use?

Gust or there's Stun Spore!

So, Gust, huh? Alright.

Beautifly, use Gust Attack!

[AFFIRMATIVE]

[GUST MOVE]

Way to go, Beautifly!

Now, let's make things more challenging by using this.

Okay! Beautifly, we're gonna use Gust to spin this Frisbee!

[GUST MOVE]

Not bad for a first try! Let's go again!

[FOCUSED]/[GUST MOVE]

Almost! You know Beautifly you're gettin' the hang of it!

[EXCITED]

Oh, yeah! We got to find a brand new home for you little fellas.

[EXCITED]

[intense music]

I still say you're both wrong about this.

One day my Silcoon's gonna turn into a Beautifly

and then you'll be sorry.

[AGREEMENT]

Aagh! I'm fed up with waiting!

If this Silcoon doesn't evolve into a Beautifly

in the next thirty seconds, James and Meowth

I'm going to hold the two of you responsible!

It's a Cascoon.

Even if it does evolve, it'll just become a Dustox.

I don't wanna be around when that happens. Why always us?

Despite my orders this Silcoon

still hasn't evolved into a Beautifly!

This is a scam! I demand satisfaction!

Both, James and Meowth, you've brought

this punishment on yourselves!

I've been telling you all along what I want!

Somewhere along the way, this thing has taken a nasty turn.

And we could be in for a nasty bruise!

What do we do now, Meowth?

May I ask what's so important over there?

We need to get working on implementing our plan

to turn my Silcoon into a Beautifly.

Our plan?

What exactly is that plan?

What do you think? Huh!

We'll battle it and raise its experience.

Let's go! Meowth, I choose you!

You do?

Any luck yet, Professor Birch?

[CURIOUS]

Hmm!

[NEGATIVE]

Oh, I'm sorry. Maybe here?

No good either.

It seems that they don't like

any of the trees in this forest.

So we'll just have to move to another forest!

- Okay! - Okay.

[gasping]

Here comes Fury Swipes!

Now Silcoon, Tackle!

[TACKLE MOVE]

[screaming]

[grunts]

You give up yet?

Meowth unable to battle!

Jessie's Cascoon wins.

- It's a Silcoon. - Right. I forgot.

Anyway, that wasn't enough of a battle.

Next in line is Cacnea.

[FOCUSED]

Cacnea, Pin m*ssile now!

[PIN m*ssile MOVE]

Now, Silcoon, Harden!

[HARDEN MOVE]

Silcoon, use Tackle, go!

[TACKLE MOVE]

[PAINED]

One more time. Tackle again!

[TACKLE MOVE]

[PAINED]

Huh? Cacnea!

[STUNNED]

Cacnea is unable to battle! Cascoon is the winner.

JESSIE It's Silcoon!

Oh, that's right. Thank goodness that's finally over.

What are you talking about?

- We're just getting started! - Huh?

No one is to leave here

until my Silcoon evolves into a Beautifly.

Ah! Come on, Jessie. Your Cascoon is--

What did you just say?

I mean to say your Silcoon is plenty strong.

Meowth's right. It'll turn into a Dustox.

What? Into a Dustox?

Oh, no, I mean into a Beautifly anytime soon.

That's better. But since it's strong it needs

to battle against stronger Pokémon.

And the strongest ones I know of just happen

to be the Twerp's Pokémon.

SEEDOT [EXCITED]

This place seems pretty good. Huh, Professor Birch?

Let's see.

[HAPPY]

[chuckles] I think we found just the spot!

[HAPPY]

That's good, this is also a great spot

for rolling around on the ground!

[HAPPY]

JESSIE Now hear this, Twerp!

Team Rocket!

Prepare for trouble, I challenge you!

Make it double, while I enjoy the view!

To protect the world from devastation.

To unite all peoples within our nation.

To denounce the evils of truth and love.

To extend our reach to the stars above.

- Jessie! - James!

Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light.

Surrender now or prepare to fight, fight, fight.

Meowth! That's right.

I want to battle you so that my Silcoon

will become a Beautifly.

But that's impossible, it's a Cascoon.

Let's show 'em, Silcoon!

[AFFIRMATIVE]

Beautifly, Gust Attack!

[GUST MOVE]

[PAINED]

- Ohh! - Good job, Beautifly!

Come on, Silcoon, you gotta do better

if you're gonna be a Beautifly!

[FOCUSED]

- It's a lost cause. - What can we do?

I'll help her out with Cacnea!

[APPEARING]

Ouch! You went the wrong direction!

Treecko, I choose you!

[APPEARING]

[FOCUSED]

Pin m*ssile Cacnea, go!

[PIN m*ssile MOVE]

Dodge it!

[EXERTION]

Treecko, use Pound Attack!

[POUND MOVE]

[EXERTION]

I'll just harvest these Seedot!

No, you don't, Meowth!

Mudkip, go!

[APPEARING]

Use Water g*n!

[WATER g*n MOVE]

Okay, Silcoon, Tackle!

[TACKLE MOVE]

BEAUTIFLY [PAINED]

No! Beautifly!

May, Beautifly know how to use Tackle too!

Beautifly, Tackle!

[TACKLE MOVE]

CASCOON [PAINED]

Come on! You can do better than that!

I've had it! This is w*r!

Silcoon, Tackle at full power, now!

[TACKLE MOVE]

Beautifly, Gust!

[GUST MOVE]

- Huh? - Huh?

- Hey, look! - Cascoon is evolving!

Oh! It's happening!

My cute little Silcoon is finally

gonna become a Beautifly!

The moment of truth, and I can't bear to look!

If I close my eyes, maybe it'll go away.

Oh, this is so exciting!

In just a moment, I'll have a Beautifly!

That's it, my cute, you're nearly there!

Beautifly! Beautifly! Beautifly!

ASH/MAY/BROCK/MAX/BIRCH Huh?

You were right all along!

You are now the proud owner of a Beautifly!

Beautifly, Beauti.. Huh?

Meowth, do you mind telling me what you're doing?

I'm a Beautifly.

I ain't never heard of Meowth.

DUSTOX [STRUGGLING]

Uncover that thing right now.

- It was all Meowth's idea. - Move!

[EXCITED]

Wait, I can't see you! Hey!

[PROUD]

This is my cute Beautifly?

But it looks almost like..

Almost like a Dustox?

Dustox.

POKEDEX Dustox, the Toxicmoth Pokémon.

Dustox is the evolved form of Cascoon

and is drawn toward bright light.

By flapping its wings, it'll scatter poison dust.

[HAPPY]

I didn't get a Beautifly. I got a Dustox.

Yes, your Pokémon was a Cascoon

so the only thing it could have evolved into was a Dustox.

That's not possible.

JESSIE I caught a Wurmple just like that Twerp.

Both of our Wurmples evolved at the same time.

But why did hers become a Beautifly

and mine become a Dustox?

Uh, that is true, they were both Wurmple.

But your Wurmple decided to become a Cascoon, not a Silcoon.

This is my Dustox?

[grunting]

Meowth, here we go.

Hold on to me James, she's gonna blow!

- I love my Dustox! - Huh?

Don't you guys love it too?

'How could you not simply adore those ridges on its wings'

'and that perfect little body'

'and those hypnotic eyes that say..'

"Love me!"

Ha! My Dustox is just divine!

'It's way cuter than that Twerp's Beautifly.'

'How come nobody told me before that this would happen?'

Do you wanna answer that question, Jimmy, or should I?

Actually, Meowth, some things are just better left unsaid.

My superior Dustox can take on the Twerp's useless Beautifly.

No problem!

Quick, James, tell me what attacks my Dustox can use?

Well, let's see, it can do Tackle

Poison Sting and also Psybeam.

Pretty darn good range of attacks!

Dustox, try Tackle!

[TACKLE MOVE]

BEAUTIFLY [PAINED]

Hey! We weren't ready!

Sorry about that!

My Dustox just seems to be on fire!

You are a rotten cheat!

But I will not let my Beautifly lose to your Dustox.

[chuckles] But my Dustox has the advantage.

And I plan on winning a lot of Pokémon contests

with my Beautifly!

Is that so?

Well, good luck competing against me and my Dustox!

Well, maybe we should just battle fair and square!

Music to my ears!

Right, Beautifly, Tackle!

[TACKLE MOVE]

[PAINED]

Dustox, Poison Sting!

[POISON STING MOVE]

Now use Gust!

[GUST MOVE]

Go, Dustox, use Psybeam!

[PSYBEAM MOVE]

Cacnea, Pin m*ssile!

[PIN m*ssile MOVE]

Two on one is unfair.

[SCARED]

[EXERTION]/[PAINED]

I knew Dustox wouldn't let me down.

Treecko, return!

Fine, I'll try again.

This time, Corphish, I choose you!

[APPEARING]

Pin m*ssile again, Cacnea!

[PIN m*ssile MOVE]

Corphish, dodge it!

[EXERTION]

Go, Dustox, use Poison Sting!

[POISON STING MOVE]

Dodge that!

[EXERTION]

Beautifly, use Tackle!

[TACKLE MOVE]

DUSTOX [PAINED]

Crab Hammer!

[CRAB HAMMER MOVE]

[PAINED]

Now, Corphish! Use Bubble Beam!

[BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

Good job, Dustox.

I couldn't have asked for a better Pokémon!

DUSTOX [PROUD]

See, Meowth? This is what they mean by "Ignorance is bliss."

Yep.

We're blasting off again!

JESSIE Really? I hadn't noticed.

Ah, the soil here appears to be nutrient rich.

And they sure look happy in that tree.

[HAPPY]

So, the Seedot finally got a place to live.

[AFFIRMATIVE]

And they're really happy!

[HAPPY]

And my Silcoon evolved into a Beautifly.

What a great day!

[HAPPY]

I just wish we could have gotten in some training today.

Ah, we can make up for it tomorrow.

Okay!

[EXCITED]

Guess this is goodbye. Time to go back to Littleroot Town.

I can't leave my assistant to do all my research for me!

- Bye, professor. - So long now.

Ash, keep up your training

and, May, take care of that Beautifly! It's a winner!

ASH/MAY Okay! Bye!

- So long, Professor Birch. - See you later!

[SALUTATIONS]

NARRATOR Now that her Silcoon

has evolved into a Beautifly

May can't wait to enter her next Pokémon Contest!

But as they say goodbye to Professor Birch

the only thing on Ash's mind is his rematch at the Dewford Gym.
