ASH "The Green Guardian!"

PIKACHU [HAPPY]

NARRATOR Forging ahead toward the Battle Pike

and Ash's th Frontier Symbol win

we find our heroes considering

using the Number Cycling Road as their next route.

Looks like we could save time taking the Cycling Road.

They have a bicycle rental as well!

Awesome!

There's nothing like bicycling on a nice day!

- You know? - Yeah!

Then I'll get my next Frontier Symbol in no time!

[EXCITED]/[SHOCKED]

Huh?

Wow! Jenny's here!

- But.. - Something's wrong!

ASH/MAY/MAX 'The road's closed!'

OFFICER JENNY 'I'm sorry, but there was so much rain last night'

we had just an awful mudslide!

There is a detour if you're in a hurry.

ASH/MAY/MAX/BROCK Huh?

OFFICER JENNY 'Just for times like this.'

'It's a little bit off the beaten path'

'but it does run all the way to Fuchsia City.'

ASH Aw, man!

I really wanted to get a bike.

PIKACHU [DISAPPOINTED]

I don't remember last night's storm

being that bad, do you?

There's no way it was bad enough

to start a mudslide, that's for sure.

[SHOCKED]

- Huh? - Hey!

Pikachu!

[panting]

Pikachu, wait!

Where're you going?

Pikachu!

SOLANA Hold it!

BROCK/ASH/MAX/MAY Huh?

[ANGRY]

Turn back! No one's allowed past this point!

It's a Pokémon Ranger!

- You're kiddin'! - You're kiddin'!

Please, return to the detour road.

But, my Pikachu just ran off in there!

Huh? Wait, just a minute!

It's Solana.

We've got a Pikachu over the line.

I've also got its Trainer, and some of his friends.

ASH/MAX/BROCK/MAY Huh?

Got it. Understood. Out.

So, your names?

I-I'm Ash from Pallet Town.

My name is May.

- And I'm Max! - Yay!

And my name is Brock!

I know this place is off-limits

but, don't let your love be as well.

Out of bounds!

'Pikachu's not the only one who's over the line.'

[HAPPY]

Anyway, it's a pleasure to meet you!

My name's Solana and this is Plusle.

[FRIENDLY]

The Ranger Union said you could move on.

Follow me.

PIKACHU [EXERTION]

[groaning]

Did anyone else just see a Pikachu pass through?

I can't see a thing!

My eyeballs are squeezed shut!

JESSIE It's a good thing we haven't eaten in a long time.

What I wouldn't give for a, uh..

[AFFIRMATIVE]

You don't always have to take me literally.

How could this happen just as we were plotting a Twerp attack

with an ambush to boot?

Someone with twice his brains couldn't answer that one.

[AFFIRMATIVE]

Easy for you to say!

MEOWTH/JAMES [sighs]

'Okay, okay, guys, I know this!'

A Pokémon Ranger deals with problems

like accidents and natural disasters.

Was that right?

That's right, Max.

With help from Wild Pokémon.

- How do they do that? - That's what I'd like to know.

Check it out!

BROCK Look at the size of those vines!

Pikachu is got to be in there!

MAY Ash, wait!

Pikachu!

[groans]

It's too thick!

There's no way you can get through that.

We have to.

ASH/BROCK/MAX/MAY Huh?

Yes, Celebi is in there.

ASH/MAY/BROCK Celebi?

The Pokémon they call "The Guardian of the Forest?"

Mm-hm.

CATERPIE [CURIOUS]

- What's that? - A Capture Styler.

I've never heard of that.

SOLANA 'A Capture Styler lets me check on things'

like a Pokémon's abilities or it's condition.

This data is very helpful to a Pokémon Ranger.

It allows us to then figure out

which Pokémon we can get help from.

Cutting edge.

These Linoone seem to be the only ones who can use Slash.

[CURIOUS]

Capture!

On!

Let's go!

Now what?

She's capturing them!

Capture?

Hi-ya!

[CONFUSED]

He-ya!

[CONFUSED]

Ha!

[CONFUSED]

Hi-ya! Ha!

[CONFUSED]

[FOCUSED]

Capture complete.

Plusle, Helping Hand.

[HELPING HAND MOVE]

Do Slash, Linoone. Go!

[SLASH MOVE]

They opened it right up!

So now they're her Pokémon ?

No, that's not what capturing means.

BROCK 'Capturing allows you to use the Pokémon's abilities'

'when you need them.'

ASH/MAX/BROCK Huh.

So you were only borrowing the Pokémon

to help out with what was needed!

Right, we better get going now

since Celebi's bound to be somewhere up ahead!

Alright! We're coming Pikachu!

PIKACHU [FOCUSED]

[SHOCKED]/[URGING]

[PAINED]

[HAPPY]

[DAZED]

[SHOCKED]/[FOCUSED]

[FOCUSED]

PIKACHU [EXERTION]

SOLANA 'The other night, these vines'

suddenly started growing like crazy.

The Ranger Union got a call from the Cycling Organization

and they sent me to investigate.

These vines are from Celebi?

The Rangers have heard about all the rumors

of amazing vine growth

associated with Celebi's appearance

many, many times in the past.

But we've never had any real proof to go on.

[SLASH MOVE]

SOLANA I'm fairly certain that Celebi's here now

but something bad may have happened.

That would explain why Pikachu just took off

into the forest like that.

Pikachu's picked up on things like that before!

That's it. Yeah, it's Celebi.

Do you mind if we just keep this between ourselves?

Celebi's a Legendary Pokémon

and I don't want to attract any attention.

You mean you want it to be our little secret?

Hey, don't worry about a thing.

We won't tell anybody.

JESSIE 'Uh, Twerp group?'

Huh?

- A small favor. - Would you mind?

Popping the top on these vines for us?

ASH Team Rocket?

Alright. What are you guys doing here, huh?

Of course, I'm sure you're up to no good.

Perish the thought.

It's not like we were plotting a Twerp attack

with an ambush to boot.

- Open mouth and.. - Insert foot.

Ambush?

Well, we can't just leave them like that.

Linoone! Let's help them out!

[SLASH MOVE]

TEAM ROCKET [screaming]

[EXERTION]

Thank you, Linoone!

We're saved! Vine free!

I thought it was our last ambush!

We haven't plotted our last plot!

[EXCITED]

Now, I'm putting all of you on notice.

This forest is off-limits!

Please leave here at once!

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Aye-aye! Gotta fly!

Bye-bye!

PIKACHU [URGING]

CELEBI [CONFUSED]

CELEBI [AFFIRMATIVE]

PIKACHU [HAPPY]

SOLANA Thank you again, Linoone, for all your help!

[SALUTATIONS]

MAY/ASH/MAX/BROCK Aw!

Looks like those vines are getting thicker.

What do we do?

We do another Pokémon capture!

[CURIOUS]

A Diglett and Dugtrio!

We're asking you for your help!

Capture!

On!

Let's go!

[CONFUSED]

He-ya!

[CONFUSED]

Ha!

[CONFUSED]

Ha-ha!

[CONFUSED]

Capture complete!

Plusle, Helping Hand!

[HELPING HAND MOVE]

SOLANA Diglett, Dugtrio, dig a hole!

[EXERTION]

BROCK 'Perfect.'

We can use that hole as a shortcut to find Celebi.

Correct! Okay, everybody, follow me!

[grunting]

[PLAYFUL]

[SHOCKED]

[FOCUSED]

[HAPPY]

There you are, Celebi.

[SHOCKED]/[HAPPY]

Pikachu!

PIKACHU [EXCITED]

Man! I was worried. I'm glad you're okay.

[HAPPY]

Hey! It's a Celebi for real!

Wow! It's so cute!

Celebi, the Time-Travel Pokémon.

Celebi wanders across time as Guardian of the forest.

Wherever it appears, trees and grass flourish.

[CONFUSED]

Celebi, we're friends of yours who've come here to help you.

[EXCITED]

[UNSURE]

Like Pikachu did.

[HAPPY]

CELEBI [HAPPY]

That's great!

A good night's sleep and Celebi will feel just fine.

Awesome!

Hey guys, isn't Celebi able to use time travel?

What's time travel?

It's where you have the power

to travel into the past or the future.

BROOK 'And I'll bet you'

'Celebi came here from a different time than ours.'

Most likely.

Celebi might've been trying

to get out of some sort of trouble

and got injured in the process.

Perhaps all of these vines were created

as some sort of protection

while Celebi was trying to heal.

CELEBI [HAPPY]

Huh?

[EXCITED]

CELEBI [HAPPY]

CELEBI [EXCITED]

Celebi!

PIKACHU [EXCITED]

MAY Looks like that good night's sleep did the trick!

[HAPPY]/[EXERTION]

SOLANA/ASH/MAY/BROCK/MAX Hah!

he vines are disappearing!

Celebi doesn't need them anymore!

PIKACHU [AMAZED]

CELEBI [PLEASED]

[laughing]

[SCARED]

[gasping]

JAMES/JESSIE/MEOWTH [laughing]

'A techno Twerp attack!'

Who is that?

JESSIE 'Prepare for trouble we're the clean up crew.'

JAMES 'With an ambush custom-made for you.'

JESSIE 'An evil as old as the galaxy.'

JAMES 'Sent here to fulfill our destiny.'

Meowth! That's me.

To denounce the evils of truth and love.

To extend our reach to the stars above.

- Jessie. - And James.

Meowth is the name!

JESSIE Whenever there's peace in the Universe..

JAMES Team Rocket..

MEOWTH Is there.

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH To make everything worse!

WOBBUFFET [AFFIRMATIVE]

MIME JR. [AGREEMENT]

- Aah! - Team Rocket!

I told them all to leave.

What do you want with Celebi?

Duh! Any Guardian of the forest

is going to be worth big bucks in the protection biz.

So, we'll gift that rascal to the Boss

to ultimately become guardian of Team Rocket!

You know what that means.

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH We're good to go

and flush with dough, Yo-h*!

WOBBUFFET [HAPPY]

Now, it's time to blow.

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH With Celibi in tow.

- Aah! - Come back!

[panting]

[SCARED]

[grunts]

[grunts]

Celebi, you're coming with me.

[SHOCKED]

ASH/BROCK/MAX/MAY Hah!

She's great!

Pokémon Rangers are sure in good shape!

Thunder Wave, Plusle!

[THUNDER WAVE MOVE]

TEAM ROCKET [screaming]

WOBBUFFET [PAINED]

MEOWTH 'That Plusle's power'

'is going to make this bucket of bolts go Ka-plooey!'

SOLANA It's alright. Out you go!

[EXERTION]/[HAPPY]

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Yipes. We're stuck.

Frozen stiff. Like ice. That hurts.

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Huh!

[screaming]

CELEBI [EXERTION]

Huh.

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Oh, poo! We're still frozen!

WOBBUFFET [AFFIRMATIVE]

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH And it's cold up there!

WOBBUFFET [AFFIRMATIVE]

[screaming]

[groaning]

I for one feel much better.

So, you've zapped your last zap!

You think you can thwart us

just because you put out forest fires?

MIME JR. [ANGRY]

That is not funny. I've had it!

Hold on.

We can take care of those guys for you.

Sure. We're getting good at it by now.

Okay, Seviper. Prove them wrong!

Cacnea, show them who's boss!

[READY]

JAMES I know, I'm the boss.

But, you've got to show them!

Marshtomp, I choose you!

[READY]

Seviper! Use, Poison Tail!

Cacnea! Use, Pin m*ssile!

[POISON TAIL MOVE]

[EXERTION]

[PIN m*ssile MOVE]

[EXERTION]

Pikachu! Thunderbolt!

Marshtomp! Mud Shot! Let's go!

[EXERTION]

[PAINED]

CACNEA [PAINED]

Now, Pikachu, Iron Tail!

[IRON TAIL MOVE]

[PAINED]

JAMES I'm the good guy!

Finish with Volt Tackle!

[VOLT TACKLE MOVE]

[screaming]

Yeah! It worked Pikachu!

[PROUD]

You rock, buddy!

[HAPPY]

Back to bein' an ice cube!

This Cacnea-pop is sticking to me!

No, Celebi, no money

nothing but a bad case of brain freeze!

[DISAPPOINTED]

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

WOBBUFFET [AFFIRMATIVE]

MIME JR. [AGREEMENT]

[gasping]

No, The forest is going to burn up!

[EXERTION]

I guess Celebi isn't the only thing

those vines were created to protect.

[EXERTION]

That sound! It's so pretty!

I know.

It's called Heal Bell.

Wow! Celebi's power is awesome!

Celebi is Guardian of the forest.

[EXERTION]/[HAPPY]

Thanks a lot, Celebi.

PIKACHU [GRATEFUL]

[HAPPY]/[EXERTION]

ASH/MAY/MAX Aw!

More time travel, right?

Uh-huh.

[PLEASED]

BROCK Wherever home is, I'm sure Celebi is glad to be back.

Solana. Mission accomplished.

Celebi has returned safely!

It's sad!

I wanted to play with Celebi, a little longer.

I feel the same way too.

You'll get to see Celebi again.

- Huh! - Huh!

We're all gonna see Celebi again.

I know it. You'll see.

[HAPPY]

CELEBI [HAPPY]

NARRATOR What goes around comes around.

As our heroes and Pokémon Ranger Solana

were able to save Celebi, the legendary Pokémon

and in turn Celebi was able to save the forest.

Now, Fuchsia City waits at the end of the Cycling Road

and beyond that, the Battle Pike!
