09x39 - Strategy Tomorrow – Comedy Tonight!

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR As our heroes head toward Fennel Valley

the current location of the traveling Battle Pyramid

it's quickly becoming quite obvious

who's looking forward to his rematch with Brandon.

I can't wait, I've got to win it now.

[EAGER]

- "Pikachu." - Huh!

"Pikachu! Pikachu!"

- What's that? - Huh!

It looks like a Chatot.

Yeah, it is a Chatot, I'm sure of it.

"It is a Chatot. It is a Chatot."

Wow, that's funny.

"Wow, that's funny. Wow, that's funny."

It repeats whatever you say.

[AMAZED]

"Pika! Pika! Pika!"

- What do you know. - 'There you are!'

MAX/MAY/BROCK/ASH Huh!

Would you all give me a hand

and please grab my Chatot for me?

"Grab my Chatot for me! Grab my Chatot for me!"

ASH/ADA/MAX/BROCK/MAY Huh! Whoa!

"Grab my Chatot for me!"

ASH "Strategy Tomorrow Comedy Tonight!"

[HAPPY]

[INTENT]

Come on, Chatot! Don't do this!

"Chatot, don't do this."

Got you!

[gasps] Ah!

- Don't worry, I got it! - Thank you!

Hi, my name's Ada. And this is Chatot!

- My name is Ash. - I'm May.

- And I'm Brock. - I'm Max. Hi.

Now, let's see.

Chatot. The Music Pokémon.

It copies whatever sounds it hears

and arranges them into its own melody.

"Its own melody. Its own melody."

So no matter what it hears someone saying

it says it too.

Chatot can even memorize complete phrases.

"Memorize complete phrases."

It is fun, but it can also be annoying.

"Also can be annoying."

- I mean you, not me! - "You, not me!"

[laughing]

You know, I'm thinkin' of doing comedy with Chatot

a routine, like Pokémon comedians.

You mean, stand-up comedy?

All the big cities in the Johto Region

are gonna be holding a Comedy Grand Prix.

And it's always been my dream to become a famous comedian.

The grand prize is a guest spot on a big late night talk show.

Wow, that sounds exciting.

See, we call ourselves the Seesaw Chat-a-lots.

[Max chuckles] Your name's funny too.

We're gonna be the greatest Pokémon comedians

the world's ever seen!

I hear you, 'cause that's exactly like me becoming

the world's greatest Pokémon Master.

Ash, you're funny.

You might be starting a whole new trend!

I think she's right.

MAX 'So let's see what you've got.'

- Yeah! Come on Ada! - Woo-hoo!

- You can do it. - Come on!

- Woo-hoo! - Yeah!

Thanks for coming, everybody!

Hi, we're the Seesaw Chat-a-lots!

"Seesaw Chat-a-lots!"

This is my buddy, Chatot.

"This is my buddy, Chatot."

- I'm talking to you! - "I'm talking to you!"

I'm not a ventriloquist but you're a real dummy.

No, you're the real dummy, Audrey!

Oh, look, if I need a writer, I'll ask!

[laughing]

Okay! Now! Chatot's gonna do a rap.

"Chatot's gonna do a rap."

♪ Pika Pika Chu Quick Attack ♪

♪ Pika Quick Attack ♪

♪ Pikachu Thunderbolt whoa ♪

♪ Thunderbolt let's go ♪

ASH/BROCK/MAX/MAY Wow!

♪ Pika Pika Chu use Rock Throw ♪♪

Dummy, that's a Rock type move.

[EXASPERATED]

[laughing]

What an audience.

Ada, you're good.

[IMPRESSED]

Hey, Pokémon stand-up could be the next big thing.

- You're gonna be a hit. - There's just one problem.

Soon as we try and hit the road to fine-tune our act..

Okay, Chatot, time to take it on the road.

[gasps]

[MISCHIEVOUS]

Chatot! Where are you going?

CHATOT "Where are you going?"

And even though Chatot always comes back to me at night

the next day it's off once again.

I wonder, where Chatot's going.

"Okay, lunchtime. Okay, lunchtime."

Chatot's always saying weird stuff like that.

Now, I'm hungry.

Hey, that's one of those Chatot chatterboxes.

Think of what a groovy gift that'd be for our dear old Boss.

Never shutting up is a gift?

MEOWTH It is if you wanna wake up.

After a stretch and a chipper.

[imitating Boss] "Good morning."

MEOWTH Guess what Chatot says?

A jolly good morning right back at 'em.

And no one loves getting quoted as much as the Boss.

JAMES Touché.

MEOWTH Then every single breakfast

turns into a veritable riddlefest.

[imitating Boss] "Hey, knock, knock."

[imitating Chatot] ""Hey, knock, knock.""

[imitating Boss] "No, no, knock, knock."

[imitating Chatot] ""No, no, knock, knock.""

And while that banal banter would drive me nuts

the Boss will love it!

JAMES That banal banter's got nothing on you.

MEOWTH And when he's knocking his g*ons down

a peg or two saying things like..

[imitating Boss] "You're the biggest bunch of losers I've ever seen."

Chatot says what any good soldier would say.

[imitating Chatot] ""You're the biggest bunch of losers I've ever seen.""

And then, as the Boss realizes

the only person smarter then Chatot

is the one who gave him Chatot he'll say..

[imitating Boss] "That Meowth, what a truly wise guy."

And friends, of course.

JAMES/JESSIE We're waiting.

MEWOTH Oh, yeah, the payoff. Dig this.

[imitating Chatot] ""Time to whip out the old checkbook for those guys!""

Sweet.

Come on, now. I thought Chatot was a mimic.

Look, when it needs saying, it gets said.

Besides, it's more fun than collecting bottle caps.

Now, since it's really time for lunch

do you wanna eat at my place?

- Hey, no joke? - Funny.

That's great. Thanks!

[GRATEFUL]

Maybe since we're eating lunch

Chatot won't go anywhere.

JESSIE/JAMES Have we got a surprise bag for you.

Everyone love surprise bags, you know!

I don't believe we've met before.

Prepare for trouble, we've met alright!

- Uh! - Eh!

- Don't worry, she's in therapy. - Uh!

We're selling surprise bags, like any honest salesman.

It's part of my parole, you see.

- What are surprise bags? - Duh!

Bags with a surprise in them.

[laughing]

ASH/BROCK/MAY/MAX/ADA Huh!

And this one's for the young ladies.

[surprise bag laughing]

This young lady's getting creeped out.

JESSIE/JAMES Well, how about it laugh fans?

Sure, I can use them in my Pokémon stand-up routine.

[chuckles] For those weird times when I can't get a laugh.

[laughing]

JESSIE/JAMES You'll get a laugh alright.

Always a pleasure taking other people's money.

Lots of luck, suckers!

[surprise bags laughing]

[Chatot laughing]

ASH/MAX/MAY/BROCK/ADA Huh!

[laughing]

[coughing]

What's happening?

Prepare for trouble, it's me!

End of story, finis!

- No time, you see! - See.

MAY/MAX Ah, Team Rocket!

CHATOT Ah, Team Rocket! Team Rocket!

ASH Come back!

ADA Give me my Chatot!

- Sorry, no can do. - "Sorry, no can do."

- My! How creative. - "My! How creative."

- Well, I'll be jiggered. - "Well, I'll be jiggered."

[CURIOUS]

"Mime! Mime!"

[EMPHATIC]

"Wobbuffet!"

We've got our own sampler.

CHATOT '"We've got our own sampler."'

Okay, Swellow, let's go!

[CONFIDENT]

Swellow, quick, use Aerial Ace!

[AERIAL ACE MOVE]

[screaming]

Chatot overboard!

[surprise bags laughing]

- Who asked you? - Let's go Aipom! Swift!

[SWIFT MOVE]

JESSIE/JAMES Us overboard!

[ALARMED]

[surprise bags laughing]

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

- Are you alright? - "Are you alright?"

- Come on, I mean it! - "Come on, I mean it!"

What am I gonna to do with you?

"Gonna do with you."

"Okay, kids, lights out! Okay, kids, lights out!"

There's some more of that weird stuff again.

So does Chatot say a lot of weird stuff?

Yeah, lots of things.

[gasps]

ASH/BROCK/MAY/MAX/ADA Huh!

Chatot, please come back!

"Please come back! Please come back!"

- Ah! - Ah! Let's go!

- Yeah! - Yeah!

Chatot! Wait up!

Come on, you know I can't do the Seesaw Chat-a-lots without you!

"Can't do without you! Can't do without you!"

"Time to check your temperature. Time to check your temperature."

Check your temperature. What's that all about?

"I hate shots. I hate shots."

That's completely weird!

[panting]

Oh, no, I think Chatot got away.

And there's no way of knowing where.

Wait! All that stuff it said, maybe they're clues.

- Huh! - I think so.

Let's think of everything Chatot said.

Okay! Wasn't the first thing, "It's lunchtime?"

You're right! Then, "Lights out."

- "Check your temperature." - And, "I hate shots."

[WORRIED]

- One place comes to mind. - It's a hospital!

Ada, is there a hospital near here somewhere?

Uh-huh! It's up on top of the hill.

So what do you say we go check it out?

ASH/MAX/BROCK/ADA Uh-huh!

[FRIENDLY]

Huh, hi, Chatot! It's so great to see you!

Huh! Chatot!

- You did come back to see us! - "You did come to see us!"

What a nice surprise.

I hate shots! I hate shots!

You're not going to get a shot.

I'm just going to check her temperature.

"Going to check her temperature."

Going to check your temperature.

[laughs] Oh, Chatot, you're just the funniest little thing.

"Oh, Chatot, you're just the funniest little thing."

I'd know that voice anywhere.

Huh! Hi, may I help you?

You see, our hospital is strictly for children.

It's so difficult for them to be away from home

but all of a sudden a few weeks ago Chatot appeared.

HOSPITAL CHIEF And you just can't believe

how much happier the children are now.

Yeah, at first Chatot came around

to eat the fruit in the garden.

- 'Chatot, is it yummy?' - "Yummy! Yummy!"

I like you. You're so funny!

"I like you. You're so funny!"

CORINNA So one day I left some cookies.

- They're for you Chatot. - "They're for you Chatot."

And ever since then Chatot's been coming here all the time.

Okay, time to check your temperature.

Okay!

"Time to check your temperature!"

"Time to check your temperature!"

Would you like me to check your temperature?

"Check your temperature. Check your temperature."

[laughing]

- 'Okay, kids, lights out.' - "Okay, kids, lights out."

"Okay, kids, lights out."

ADA You have been busy, haven't you?

Cheering up sick kids, that'll keep you busy.

Chatot's a real hero too.

"Chatot's a real hero! Chatot's a real hero!"

It's great that Chatot's made some new friends but you see

'well, Chatot and I are actually a comedy team.'

We're planning on going off on a journey

so we can win the Comedy Grand Prix.

Wait, that means Chatot won't be able to come

and visit us anymore!

But if they're a comedy team

then they have to be together, don't they, dear?

- No! I don't care about that! - Corinna! Corinna!

Wow, that sounds cool to have a comedy team.

- I'm sure you'll do great. - Thank you.

I have an idea, why not do your routine

for the children as practice?

Uh, of course, I'd love to.

Hey, since we've all got our Pokémon here

maybe we could get in on the act.

Oh, please?

I know Corinna would feel a lot better

'if you could do this one thing for her.'

"Feel a lot better! Feel a lot better!"

[laughs]

NURSE Kids, we have a special Pokémon show for you

you're going to love.

- Wow, I don't see Corinna. - Too bad.

There's gonna be songs and everything.

You're really gonna miss something.

Quick, they're just getting started.

Huh! Mm.

♪ La la la la la la I kind of like this song ♪

- Okay, wish me luck. - Okay, break a leg.

PIKACHU [EXCITED]

- Hi, I'm Ada, that's Chatot. - "That's Chatot."

ADA/CHATOT It's great to be here.

I hope you're ready to give them the best show we can.

"Best show we can."

I think this'd be a great time to do our Pokémon rap.

- What do you think? - "What do you think?"

- Hey, I asked you first. - "Hey, I asked you first."

Aha! Are you ready?

[EXERTION]

[gasping]

Don't be afraid!

Prepare for trouble. Be very afraid.

Making it double is how we get paid.

An evil as old as the galaxy.

Sent here to fulfill our destiny.

With Meowth, that's me.

To denounce the evils of truth and love.

To extend our reach to the stars above.

- Jessie! - And James!

Meowth's the name!

Whenever there's peace in the Universe..

- Team Rocket.. - Is there..

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH To make everything worse!

[EMPHATIC]

- Oh! - Team Rocket!

The problem here is you Twerps

just don't have any sense of humor.

So chill out and leave the funny business

to the funny guys!

- Ladies and Germs! - Presenting..

Team Wacky Rocket!

[groaning]

When I said wacky I didn't mean it literally you know!

- Hm! - Hm!

Round and round she goes, where she stops, no one knows.

Those wacks must have cleared his head.

Huh? Go, Cacnea!

[EXCITED]/[AFFECTIONATE]

There are children watching!

[laughing]

- Hey, we're a hit. - Keep this train rolling.

MEOWTH 'James is putting a new spin on Rapid Spin, get it?'

JESSIE Cacnea's dizzy, without being blonde.

[laughing]

Oh, man, this is embarrassing.

- No accounting for good taste. - Excuse me?

You don't think we're back to take tips

from some Twerp, do you?

We're here for one thing. That Chatot! Show's over.

[ALARMED]

JESSIE You could use a good costume.

You're not going anywhere!

Dustox, prove the Twerp wrong!

Yeah, and we got to see a real Pokémon battle too.

And you and Chatot were so funny.

Thanks so much.

- 'Here.' - Huh!

It's the cookies I was telling you about.

Huh, are you sure?

While you're getting ready for the Grand Prix

Chatot will remember us!

You two are gonna be great and I just know

you're gonna win the first prize.

Thank you.

I can't wait to see you on TV!

Then after that we'll be able to see Chatot all the time.

Thanks for always coming to cheer us up.

But now, I guess you can't come back.

"You can't come back! You can't come back!"

- You can't come back! - "You can't come back!"

- Oh, Chatot, you're silly. -"Oh, Chatot, you're silly!"

[laughing]

ASH Guess it's time to get going.

ADA Okay, good luck with the Battle Frontier Ash.

ASH And good luck with the Comedy Grand Prix.

Hm, you know, I'm gonna win it for those kids too.

Bye, see you later!

BROCK/MAX/MAY/ASH Bye-bye, Ada!

I hate shots! I hate shots!

You know, we could win it for the kids as well.

[DETERMINED]

NARRATOR And so it's new friends heading down their own special paths.
