07x41 - Take This House and Shuppet

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR Ah, the broad expanse of the universe

so infinite in it's reach, so impressive in it's magnitude

an imposing force.

This, of course, has nothing to do with Team Rocket

as their attempt to capture Pikachu

is thwarted yet again.

Join us, as we are serenaded

by an all-too familiar refrain.

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH We're blasting off again!

[screaming]

[groaning]

Not again, we were just one inch away

from catching Pikachu!

It's your fault, James, why'd you go and flip the b*mber Beam

up to full blast for?

Because the plan was for you to get Pikachu into that hole.

I had to do something since you didn't nail your job!

Maybe because this is how I nail my jobs!

Oh, yeah? Well, I prefer knuckles!

[grunting]

You've got to be kidding me, nobody touches my face!

That really hurt!

Yeah! So, what did you hit me for?

- Just because. - How dare you!

Who needs a comb out?

Don't touch my hair either!

MEOWTH My Fury Swipes is what you need!

- 'Don't make me laugh!' - 'Say that again, curly top!'

ASH "Take This House and Shuppet."

Oh, brother, I can't believe what that weird beam thing

of Team Rocket's did to all of our hair.

- Now we're totally lost too. - I hate curly hair.

[AGREEMENT]

Well, got to say I'm pretty styling!

- Now what? - Which way should we go?

There's no fork in the road on the Pokénav.

Well, since we're lost anyway, let's try left!

Yeah, guess it doesn't really matter at this point.

[AGREEMENT]

Hey, where are you going?

You don't have any idea where that road leads to!

- Come on! Neither do we, right? - Yeah.

Oh, boy, I feel so refreshed and happy!

Strange, I hated you both moments ago!

Yes, I hated you too!

Well, maybe that had something to do with

being such great friends!

They say that you always hurt the ones you love.

Well, I say we just bury that ole' hatchet!

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Living large and standing tall. Who's the team that has it all?

Team Rocket!

Ah! A good friendship can sure work up an appetite!

Look! We're only steps away from a gorgeous mansion.

A nice place like that's got to be filled with grub!

MEOWTH Let's see, push that there, turn here..

- Voila! Done! - Brilliant!

Meowth, you're my favorite locksmith!

Aw, shucks! Anyone could do that!

Your unparalleled modesty is only exceeded by your talent

which knows no bounds!

My whiskers are blushin'.

[chuckling]

- My, what a spread! - Yes, luxurious indeed!

[gasps]

JESSIE Why did this door just close?

JAMES I don't know!

Meowth will save the day!

That's my cue! Just a little Fury Swipes..

MEOWTH Or maybe not.

- James, free us! - How? Magic?

It was your big idea to come in here, Jessie!

I was only trying to help him out

because of his empty stomach!

Attacking a starving person is hitting below the belt!

I'll hit the both of youse if you don't zip it!

- Make my day. - Don't tempt me.

I want out of this Team racket!

- 'With my blessing!' - You've got some nerve.

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Huh?

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Ain't life grand?

So, how do you two feel about

taking a little look-see around?

- I'm in! - Off we go then!

Right!

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH No matter what gets

thrown our way

we always have the nicest day

'cause we're Team Rocket!

[thunder rumbling]

[panting]

Well, at least the rain took care of our curly hair problem.

Yeah, but it's not helping much

with our being lost problem.

- That's for sure. - Look!

BROCK 'A nice warm house, straight ahead!'

Awesome! Maybe we can go inside and dry out a little bit!

[AGREEMENT]

[EXERTION]

ASH Hello? Anybody home?

Can we please come in from out of the rain?

Looks like no one's home.

[DISAPPOINTED]

Yeah, you're probably right.

Hey, maybe it's an abandoned house?

Looks like it could be.

After all, this big house is pretty old.

Yeah, and it's starting to give me the creeps too.

Hey, maybe this house is haunted!

That's not funny, Max, stop it!

MAY/MAX Huh?

[gasping]

That's nice, they are home.

And look, they're inviting us all in too!

Great! What're you waiting for, Max?

Uh! For you to go first?

[lightning strikes]

- Hey, May! - Hey, May!

Wait!

[WORRIED]

[panting]

ASH/BROCK/MAY/MAX Ah!

It closed by it self.

How could that happen?

[grunting]

ASH It's locked, alright.

BROCK Huh?

BROCK 'Check that out!'

Guys, I'm scared!

I knew we never should have come into

a creepy haunted house like this one!

Max, find us a way out of here.

What are you talking about?

You're the one who came running

in here in the first place, May!

It's not my fault, you've got the Pokénav

and don't know how to use it.

Lemme tell you something, if you had the Pokénav

you probably wouldn't be able to turn it on!

- 'Oh, yeah?' - 'Yeah!'

Hey, come on you guys!

[AGREEMENT]

Look, think you two could save

your sibling rivalry for another time?

Fine! The last thing I need is a know-it-all brother anyway!

Come on, you don't mean that, right?

Yes, I do, you think you know everything!

You're so mean, I hate you, May.

Wait, Max, come back!

BROCK It's too dangerous to go running off!

It won't open!

What's with all of these doors?

[WORRIED]

- Max, come on. - 'May!'

Max needs us! So, quit being so stubborn!

[AGREEMENT]

No! Let the brainiac take care of himself!

I don't think you really mean that, May.

It's true, May doesn't even want to help me

get out of here.

If she doesn't need me, then I don't need her!

Hmm.

She'll find out, without me she wouldn't even remember

how to tie her shoes or even- even brush her teeth

'or anything!'

Sisters are just nasty sometimes!

I just wish..

Huh?

Hey! Wait, what was that?

Uh, that's so weird!

I know I was just mad a second ago.

Uh? Oh!

Cool! You're a Shuppet, right!

[AGREEMENT]

[HAPPY]

Hi! I'm Max.

It's nice to meet you.. Huh?

Hey, where'd you go?

[APPEARING]

[laughs]

I think you're in the mood to play, aren't you?

[EXERTION]

Okay! You're it!

Slow down, Shuppet! You're going too fast!

[STARTLED]

How cool, you must have used your Psychic on me!

[AGREEMENT]

Hey, Shuppet. Thanks!

[HAPPY]

What is it, Shuppet?

Is one of your favorite books in here?

[EXERTION]

Oh, wow! I can't believe it!

MAX 'It's like there's a carnival inside of a house!'

Ah! Your very own amusement park!

[EXCITED]

Huh? Wait up!

[HAPPY]

Of course, I love the slide!

[HAPPY]

Alright!

[laughing]

- Hey, Max? - Where are you?

[CONCERNED]

Alright, you've made your point, now quit messing around

and get out here already!

Hm.

Hey, what's this?

It's open?

Oh, my! Where did those scratches come from?

Hmm.

Bummer this merry-go-round doesn't work.

[EXERTION]

Whoa! You made it work! Awesome!

[HAPPY]

MAY 'Max? You can come out now.'

Oh. Hey, that's May!

Can you stop this thing for now, Shuppet?

[AGREEMENT]

- Hey, Max? - Where are you?

[CONCERNED]

We've been lookin' a long time

I can't believe we haven't found him.

BROCK 'Let's check down this hall one more time.'

ASH 'Okay.'

PIKACHU [AGREEMENT]

You must be getting worried about him too, huh?

- Why? - May.

I know you guys fight all the time

but he's still your brother, come on!

I'm not worried at all.

He'll come crying to me once he gets hungry.

Ah! No way! She doesn't care!

[SAD]

Okay, if that's the way she wants it

then two can play that game!

ASH 'Max, can you hear us?'

BROCK 'Say something, Max!'

Hey, Max?

[CONCERNED]

[whimpers]

- Must've been the wind! - That's right.

Anyway, we'll just say it was!

MAY The wind again?

PIKACHU [UNSURE]

Maybe, but the window's closed!

It must be open a crack.

- Of course! - Good thinking, May!

PIKACHU [NERVOUS]

[giggling]

They sure are scared now!

Ready? Next trick!

[AGREEMENT]

[laughing]

ASH/BROCK/MAY Oh!

[groaning]

The wind's whipping through that crack now!

- Yeah, what a breeze! - Being hopeful's one thing.

But let's not completely lose our minds.

[rumbling]

[screaming]

ASH 'Okay, now that's not the wind!'

Help! Somebody do something!

[screaming]

Run for it!

[screaming]

They're scared out of their wits!

You'd think they've never seen a flying dish before!

[AGREEMENT]

I'm getting out of this house as fast as I can!

- Oh! - Ah!

- I'm sorry. - Are you okay?

Huh? Who are you?

Why'd you break into my house

and scratch up my front door?

What? No wait! That's not it at all!

Hi, there. The name is Brock.

It's true we did let ourselves in which was wrong

but only to get out of the rain.

And we found the door scratched, as well.

But it's obvious to me now that it was fate

that ordained you and I to meet in this very house.

Just like its fate that ordained me to take over for Max.

[CONFUSED]

EMILY Oh, my.

So, strange things have been happening here again

and now you say your brother is missing?

- Again? - Yes.

I've been wanting to have this house remodeled

for the longest time.

But all of these strange things keep on happening

doors are slamming shut and things are flying around.

Well, it's happening again.

Every time I try to hire someone to do work on this place

they always turn me down.

What kind of work do you want to get done?

- Turn this into a hotel! - What?

Make a hotel out of a haunted house?

- May, cool it! - It's fine!

You're not the only one who's told me that.

But once, this was the most beautiful

and elegant house anyone could imagine!

EMILY My family and I moved here when I was just a little girl.

And at that time, it was as luxurious

and majestic as a palace!

Everywhere you looked, the gardens were flowing over

with loads of beautiful flowers!

Sounds great, it's obvious this place

holds great memories for you.

Yes, but there's all of these strange occurrences

I'm dealing with.

We've got to find Max, now!

Especially now that we know there is creepy stuff going on!

Let's split up and have another look!

[AGREEMENT]

Torchic! I choose you!

[APPEARING]

Now, Swellow, you come on out too!

[APPEARING]

Let's go Mudkip!

[APPEARING]

You have to help us find Max, okay?

- I'll help out too! - Oh, thank you!

I had so much fun playing with you, Shuppet!

[AGREEMENT]

JESSIE 'What kind of home is this?'

'Room after room and not so much as a breadstick?'

JAMES 'Maybe they're fasting?'

In that case, I say we get out of here fast.

Team Rocket!

If it wasn't for Jessie, we wouldn't have

set foot inside of this dump!

Correction, your empty stomach led us here

and then Meowth let us in!

Keep Meowth out of this!

TORCHIC [EXERTION]

Huh?

[CURIOUS]

[thinking] That's May's Torchic!

If she's using her Torchic to help find me

maybe she does care!

Hmm, well, too late now!

[CURIOUS]

- Hello! - Twerp Torchic!

But now it's..

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Team Rocket's Torchic!

[WORRIED]

What do I do?

If I don't do something

Torchic will get caught!

MAY The last thing I need is a know-it-all brother anyway!

Oh, who cares? I sure don't!

[EXERTION]

[SCARED]

Perfect! We'll catch this little thing and give it to the Boss!

JESSIE 'At least this disastrous detour wasn't a total loss!'

MAY My little Torchic, I love you so much!

[grunting]

[SCARED]

- No way out! - Trapped!

You can make this easy or difficult.

I just don't care!

What has May ever done for me anyway?

- Hey, May, I'm sorry. - Come on! Don't be silly!

The only thing I care about is that you get better.

[grunting]

Stop!

You guys better leave Torchic alone!

TORCHIC/SHUPPET [AGREEMENT]

- The little-ist Twerp. - And who's the pointy Pokémon?

Oh, allow me, an index card consultation.

Ah! It's a Shuppet, the Puppet Pokémon.

JAMES 'It supposedly grows by absorbing human anger'

'and various other attitudes!'

Shuppet, so it was you that stopped me

from being all upset and angry back there!

[AGREEMENT]

That must've been what happened to us!

Let's give Shuppet to the Boss since he blows

more fuses than an old toaster!

- Okay! - Yeah!

Let's make it a two for one catch!

JESSIE/JAMES Natch!

- Team Rocket. - 'No you don't!'

My sister really loves this Torchic

more than anything at all.

MAX 'So no way am I gonna let'

'you creeps get a hold of it!'

- Oh, Max. - That's touching, but dumb.

You can't fight the three of us!

MAY 'Like he would listen to you?'

May, you came!

My brother never listens to anybody

since he's so busy yakking all the time!

Hey! What do you mean?

But still

he's the only brother I've got and I love him!

I love you too, May.

How nice, I may throw up!

Seviper, let's go!

[APPEARING]

Cacnea, you too!

[APPEARING]

[ATTACK]

This is not love at first bite!

Now, Seviper, use Bite Attack!

[BITE ATTACK MOVE]

Quick Attack, Torchic!

[QUICK ATTACK MOVE][PAINED]

Right on target!

[AGREEMENT]

Cacnea! Pin m*ssile!

[PIN m*ssile MOVE]

Now, use Ember!

[EMBER MOVE]

Good job, Torchic!

Max, I think you'd better stand back.

Right!

Poison Tail, Seviper, let's go!

[POISON TAIL ATTACK]

Dodge, Torchic!

[DODGING]

- Ah! Huh? - Huh?

Max, look out! Get down!

SHUPPET [PSYCHIC MOVE]

Huh?

[PSYCHIC MOVE]

Shuppet, you used Psychic! Cool!

That was awesome, thanks!

[PLEASED]

SWELLOW [EXERTION]

There they are!

- Are you okay? - We're fine!

Yeah, thanks to our friend, Shuppet!

- Wow! So that's a Shuppet! - Wait, could it be?

Couldn't you Twerps break into someone else's house?

We were here first!

Which means everything in it is ours!

[PSYCHIC MOVE]

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Huh? Ah!

So, is Shuppet doing that?

Then it must have been Shuppet using Psychic the whole time!

Wow, I remember.

EMILY Yay! Do it some more!

[laughing]

[HAPPY]

Shuppet, you're my best friend!

Shuppet, we used to play here together

when I was a little girl!

It's me! Remember? I'm Emily but I'm grown up now!

[CONFUSED]

Go on, take a look into my eyes!

You see? Emily!

[EXCITED]

I've really missed you too, Shuppet.

'Sometimes grown ups get too busy for their own good'

'but I've always loved you.'

SHUPPET [HAPPY]

It's a beautiful thing.

JAMES/JESSIE We're better for having been here.

But the mush has gone on long enough!

Let's see how a little netting grabs you!

[grunts]

- I gotcha! - Not bad.

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH See you!

[gasps]

ASH Come back!

- Now.. - Yeah!

- Yippee! - Wohoo!

SEVIPER [EXERTION]

ASH Whoa!

Prepare for trouble, as we float away.

Make it double, as I like to say.

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..

JAMES/JESSIE/MEOWTH Stars above!

- Jessie! - James!

Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!

Surrender now along with your Shuppet

or prepare for a fight, fight, fight!

Meowth, that's right!

[AGREEMENT]

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH And that's the name of that tune!

Give back my Shuppet!

Swellow, you go and bring Shuppet back!

SWELLOW [AGREEMENT]

Quick, Cacnea, use Pin m*ssile!

[PIN m*ssile MOVE]

Dodge and use Wing attack!

[DODGING]

[WING ATTACK MOVE]

[PAINED]

[HAPPY]

Shuppet!

[laughing]

Now, Pikachu, use Thunder Attack, go!

[THUNDER ATTACK MOVE]

[screaming]

Shuppet slipped right through our fingers!

How could we have let that happen?

Oh, well, hair today, gone tomorrow.

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Team Rocket's blasting off again!

WOBBUFFET [AGREEMENT]

I'm sorry. That wasn't very nice of me.

No, I'm the one who should be sorry.

I'm your big sister and I should never have been so mean to you.

Well, you're also the greatest sister

a guy could ever have.

Really?

'Course, being a sister means you're still a girl.

Yeah? So what's wrong with that?

[laughing]

Looks like they finally patched things up.

That's a relief!

[AGREEMENT]

EMILY 'Shuppet and I are going to work together'

and turn this place into a wonderful hotel!

And when it's ready, I hope you'll come stay with us!

ASH/MAY/BROCK/MAX Sure!

[HAPPY]

Shuppet, I'm happy for you.

[HAPPY]

We better get going, so, you guys take care!

Yes, you too!

NARRATOR Once again, we see how the ties

between humans and Pokémon grow stronger

with each passing day!

And so, with fond memories in their hearts
