23x11 - Best Friend... Worst Nightmare!

[bunniefuu]

[birds chirping]

-[alarm clock ringing] -Yamper!

Yamp! Yamp, Yamp!

[pants, yaps]

[panting continues]

Yamp! Yamp, Yamper! Yamp, Yamp! [yaps]

[gasps, pants]

-Yamper, Yamper! Yamp! Yamp! Yamper! -[Parker] Again?!

-[panting] -[footsteps approaching]

[Parker] Come on, Chloe!

If you don't wake up soon, you'll be late for school!

[Chloe] I'm awake. [groans]

Sounds a lot more like sleeping to me.

-Hey, Mom! -[howling]

[Talia] What is it?

-[Yamper panting] -[footsteps approaching]

Chloe?

I assume you won't mind doing your own hair.

If you don't get up, that is.

What do you mean?! Mom?!

I can't do a thing with this mop without you and you know it!

[both] Good morning.

-Morning. -[pants] Yamper!

[chuckles]

-You look very pretty. -It looks great, Mom. Thank you!

You're welcome, my dear.

-Oh, boy, pancakes! Huh? -[clears throat]

A certain hungry someone's waiting for you.

[panting]

Oh, no!

Yamp! [pants]

Sorry you had to wait. Finally!

'Scuse me, but you had plenty of time to feed Yamper up until now!

No way, Chloe!

You know Yamper won't eat any Pokémon food unless you're the one who serves it!

Yes, it's the strangest thing.

-Yamper! -[Talia] The way you act towards Yamper,

it's kinda cool, you know?

I'm kind of cool?

The point is that you're

the most important person to Yamper in this household,

and it shows more affection for you than for anyone else.

I don't know. [sighs]

Yamper!

-Then who's number two? -Why that's...

-[both] It's you, Mom! -Yamper!

So sweet! Thanks so much, Yamper.

And I'd be number three, right, Yamper?

Yamper!

-Leaving me in the back of the line. -[all laughing]

[Yamper] Huh?

[Cerise and Chloe] Have a good day!

-Yamp! -[Parker and Talia] See you later!

-[Yamper yapping] -[Chloe laughs]

Now stop it, Yamper! You know how much that tickles!

Now lie down and be good.

-[Ash and Goh] "Best Friend..." -[Chloe] "Worst Nightmare!"

[narrator] Ash's goal is to become a Pokémon Master

and Goh wants to catch one of every kind of Pokémon.

So what kind of Pokémon will they encounter today?

This is Cerise Laboratory.

In these beautiful, lush gardens,

Ash's and Goh's Pokémon live a comfortable life.

[all inhaling]

-[Ash and Goh] Morning, everybody! -Pika, Pika, Pikachu!

-Butterfree! -Venomoth!

-Venomoth! -[squeals]

-[all laughing] -Scorbun, Scorbun!

You've caught a lot of Pokémon! Just look at 'em all!

That's nothing!

There are tons more Pokémon I haven't caught yet!

You're right!

I've got a ton more Pokémon that I wanna catch and battle, too!

Yeah!

Uh, come to think of it, the Dragonite you caught-- Huh?

-[Stantler grunts] -Scythe!

[Dragonite exclaims]

-Scy, Scyther! -That's not right!

-What are they doing?! -[Ash gasps]

-Scor? -Huh?

Let's just see how it plays out.

-Scyther! -[Stantler mooing]

Scythe!

-Scyther! Scythe! -[Dragonite grunting]

-[Stantler mooing] -Scyther.

I thought so!

-Pika, Pika! -Scorbun!

You called it. You knew that all along!

-Sure did. What's wrong, buddy? -[Pikachu and Scorbunny screaming]

-Pika, Pika! -Taillow!

[Wurmples cooing]

[shrieking]

-[thuds] -[whimpers]

-Pika. -Hey, isn't that...?

-This has gotta stop! -Ah! Right behind you!

-Scorbun! -[Wurmples cooing]

-Taillow! -Pika?

-[Scorbunny grunts] -They're evolving!

Evolving? All right!

[Goh] Wurmple can evolve into two different Pokémon, right?

It can either evolve into Silcoon or Cascoon.

Then Silcoon evolves into Beautifly, and Cascoon into Dustox!

And that's why I decided to catch three Wurmple!

Scorbun!

-Cascoon! -The first one is Cascoon!

-Cascoon! -The second one is, too!

-[Goh] The last one's gotta be a Silcoon! -Cascoon!

[Goh screams] Cascoon?!

-All three of them?! -[all] Cascoon!

-[groaning] -Cascoon!

-Huh? -[cooing]

[chuckles] Aw, this'll work, too.

Oh, man.

-[electricity crackles] -Uh...

-[electricity pops] -Huh?

Great time to blow a fuse. [sighs]

[grunts]

[sighs] Now, where's the fuse box?

[shudders] It's cold down here.

Come on, Francois.

Magnemite.

If you see which fuse blew out, let me know, okay?

Magnemite.

[creaking]

Gengar!

-Magne, Magne, Magnemite. -Gengar!

Magnemite.

-[Gengar yelling] -[Ren] Is that a g-g-ghost?!

Gengar! [cackles]

Huh? A Gengar?

Now, Francois, Thunder Wave!

Huh?

-Magnemite! -[Ren gasps] Are you okay?!

Gengar! [growls]

-Gengar! -[screaming]

[whines]

Don't worry! I'll be back.

Have yourself a good day, Chloe.

-[screaming] -[screaming]

-[chuckling] -[sighs] You know, you run fast!

Yamp, Yamp, Yamp!

Ah, hey, Chloe!

Morning, Chloe! How's it goin'? [chuckling]

Morning. I'm fine.

Hey, Professor! All three of my Wurmple evolved!

-Is that right? -And you know what?

This is the very first time any of my Pokémon have evolved.

Wow, talk about a moving experience.

Now my appreciation of Pokémon is much deeper.

Hey, Chloe, come and see, please? All three evolved into Cascoon!

-I want you to meet Dragonite, too! -But wait!

I have to go to school, so that's not gonna work.

[Goh] Oh, yeah, I kinda forgot.

-[Chrysa] Good morning! -[Ash and Goh] Huh?

Hurry up, Chloe. You don't wanna be late.

Mm-hmm. See you later!

-[chuckles] Now you take care! -Bye-bye!

-[Pikachu and Scorbunny exclaim] -[pants] Yamper.

Professor, I have some questions. They're about the new project.

Of course! Let's talk in the lab.

-I wonder... -Hmm?

[Ash] Do you think Chloe just isn't interested in Pokémon?

Mm...

When she was younger, she wasn't this way,

but she's kind of indifferent toward them now.

Really?

When it comes to the ways people and Pokémon get along, there are many.

I mean, you and I have different goals, after all.

I guess so.

-[Chrysa] It's so dark in here. -[Cerise] And the doors were left open.

[both] Huh? [screaming]

[Cerise] Huh?

-[Chrysa gasps] Francois! -[Cerise] What happened?

Magne, Magne, Magnemite.

Magnemite. Magne, Magne, Magnemite.

Magnemite.

-Oh, no! -Poor Ren!

-Ren, say something to me! -Magnemite.

-Gengar! -Magne.

-[gasps] -Gengar?

Gengar!

[chuckles] Gengar.

[growling]

-Scor. -Pika.

-Hey, is there something up there? -Pika, Pika!

[Yamper grunts]

-[Ash pants] -[growling]

Gengar!

[Goh] What is that?!

[female voice] Gengar, the Shadow Pokémon.

A Ghost and Poison type.

Gengar can pass through dimensions and appear almost anywhere.

Since Gengar absorbs any warmth around it,

the temperature suddenly drops wherever it appears.

[chuckles]

-Gengar! -Quick, Pikachu, use Iron Tail!

-Pikachu! [grunts] -Yamp, Yamp, Yamp, Yamp, Yamp!

[grumbles, snarls] Gengar!

[whimpering]

Scorbun! Mebun!

-Yamp, Yamp! -Now use Thunderbolt!

-Pikachu! -[grunting]

[groans]

-[crashing] -[shattering]

[doors creak]

Yamp, Yamp, Yamp, Yamp, Yamp, Yamp, Yamp, Yamp, Yamp!

[Ash] Who's that Pokémon?

-Pika? -Magne, Magne, Magnemite!

Pika, Pika!

[teacher] Have you ever thought about what you might like to do in the future?

Well, today, I'd like to hear what you all might wanna be when you get older.

Perhaps something you'd like to do as some sort of career...

-[indistinct chatter] -The kind of work you'd like to do

when you grow up to be an adult.

[Chloe's voice] I can't stand classes like these.

So, who's going to start us off today?

[chatter stops]

Yeardley, why don't you go first?

You mean me?!

Do you have a dream for the future?

I think my dream is still being worked on!

-[students laughing] -Well, is that so?

All right, let's hear from... from you, Chloe!

Y-Yes, ma'am!

[Yeardley] Must be nice to know what you wanna do already.

-Uh...? -I mean you, Pokémon Professor!

-Huh? -Yeardley's right.

-You'll run your father's lab someday. -But I'm...

Your house must be filled to the top with Pokémon, right?

Must be nice!

-There's nobody but Yamper. -[girl ] No way! Really?!

[boy] Let's have a Pokémon battle real soon anyway!

-What do you say? -I've never done that.

[students exclaiming]

[sighs] It really isn't that surprising.

So are you saying you don't like Pokémon?

-[girl ] This is ridiculous! -No, I-I didn't say that.

[girl ] Then you do like them?

-Like them? -[girl ] Just can't believe it!

[Chloe's voice] I do, I think.

[teacher] Now, people, let's stop pestering Chloe with questions.

[humming]

-Chloe? -[gasps]

Mom! Why are you here?

You forgot this.

That's my lunch!

[Talia] Then what happened?

They started treating me like I have Pokémon battles

just because I'm the daughter of a Pokémon professor.

I hated that.

I understand. I'd hate that, too.

All of them just assumed that I like Pokémon,

and that my whole future's all figured out.

[Talia] Hmm, hmm.

Who knows what I wanna do? I don't have any idea.

Uh, hey!

When did you first realize that you wanted to learn how to be an illustrator, Mom?

Hmm...

When you were still a kid or when you became a grown-up?

Come to think of it, I actually wanted to draw comic books first

back when I was in high school.

[gasps] I didn't know that!

Oh, I really went for it!

Whenever I had a free moment,

you'd find me drawing picture after picture!

But it wasn't meant to be.

So, this one day,

I had pretty much decided to give up my dream completely.

[Chloe] Huh?

Then it happened.

[Young Cerise] Taking a break from drawing today?

Hmm?

-Uh, it's just... -What?

Well, it's about time I moved on from drawing.

Why would you do that?!

You always look like you're so happy drawing!

Happy?

-[sighs] -Very happy! Sure seems that way!

Please, please think about it! Don't just give up on drawing so easily!

[gasps] You became an illustrator because Dad asked you to?!

[chuckles] No, not at all.

Although what he was saying did make a lot of sense.

I was having fun.

But I had to decide how and what I was going to draw.

That's what happened.

I never wound up drawing comic books

and I never had huge success as an illustrator,

but I can say I enjoy what I do!

And you'll make your own decisions someday.

Then you'll decide what path your life takes.

I guess you're right.

You're still only ten! No need to rush anything.

[both chuckle]

-[Ash] Gengar! -[Goh] Gengar!

Where could Gengar have gotten off to?

Ash, come on! Let's have a race to see who catches Gengar first!

-Awesome! Let's do it! -[Pikachu and Yamper exclaim]

-[chuckles] Gengar! -There it is!

Now, Poké Ball, let's go!

[grunts]

[groans] Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!

[panting]

-That didn't work. -Huh?

-[grunts] -Hey, Mimey, watch out!

Mime!

-Mr. Mime! -Yamp, Yamp, Yamp!

-[Goh] Great! -[Ash] Nice!

[cackles] Mime.

[grunts]

[growls, yaps]

-[Gengar grunts] -[yapping continues]

-Gengar! -Pikachu, use Iron Tail!

Pikachu, Pika!

-[grunts] Gengar! -Quick, dodge it!

-Pika! -[gasps]

[grunting]

[chuckles]

-[all gasping] -Hey, Scorbunny, can you help it?

Scor.

Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor, Scor!

[shrieks]

-[grunts] -[cheering]

Pikachu!

-[grunts] Gengar! -Use Electroweb!

Pika, Pika, Pika, Pika! [grunts]

-[Pikachu exhales] -[all gasping]

-[monitor trilling] -Professor, what's this?

[Cerise] A screen that shows laboratory temperatures in real time.

If any room shows a sudden drop, that's probably Gengar.

[Ren] Perfect! Now we can find it even if it disappears!

[Goh] Hey! Gengar?

Make sure you stay alert. That Gengar's powerful!

-Pika, Pika. -Scor, Scor.

-[door closes] -Yamp? Yamp, Yamp, Yamp.

-Pika? -I'm back, everyone. [sighs]

-Yamp, Yamp, Yamp, Yamp, Yamp. -[chuckles] Hi, Yamper.

[panting]

[giggles]

All right. All right!

Gengar.

[computer alarm blares]

[Cerise] The lobby! Gengar's in the lobby!

-[panting, growls] -Gengar!

[chuckles] Gengar!

-[Chloe gasps] -[Yamper yells]

[gasps] Yamper!

-Geng! -[gasps]

[gasping]

-Gengar! -[Chloe whimpers]

-[Ash and Goh panting] -[Ash] Huh?

-Geng! -Quick, Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

Pika! Pikachu!

[Gengar grunts]

-[gasps] -Gengar.

Gengar!

[all screaming]

[cackles]

[Yamper pants]

-[Chloe gasps] -[Yamper growling]

-Wait, Yamper! -[growling continues]

[both gasp]

[snarling]

[Gengar chuckles]

[all gasping]

-[yapping] -Hmm. Yamper, use Spark, now!

[growling, yapping]

[growls]

Professor, I don't think it's listening to you!

It's forgetting everything else

and concentrating its energy on protecting Chloe.

Quick, Chloe, tell Yamper to use Spark against Gengar!

[gasps]

If you give the command, Yamper will listen!

I've never done that before!

At this moment, Yamper is dedicated to protecting you!

[Cerise's voice] The point is that you're the most important person

to Yamper in this household,

and it shows more affection for you than for anyone else.

-[screaming] -Do it, Chloe!

Gengar!

-[whimpers] -[yapping]

All right, Yamper, use Spark!

[growls, yells]

[grunts]

-Yamp. -[all grunt]

-Yeah! Yamper, what an attack! -Wow, Chloe!

[chuckling, sighing]

-Oh, Yamper! -Yamp, Yamp, Yamp, Yamp.

[giggling]

[crickets chirping]

[Chloe] Thanks for today.

You did great! [giggles]

Now, stop! You're tickling me! [laughs]

Don't you hear me? Come on! [giggles]

That Gengar was really strong, wasn't it?

Yeah, and you know I really wanna catch it, too!

Scorbunny!

Pika, Pika!

[Ash] Then the next time we see it, we'll have another competition!

[Goh] Sure!
