09x40 - Duels of the Jungle

[bunniefuu]

It seems like this forest goes on forever!

Yeah, it's a big one, alright!

Well, we'll be through soon enough!

Then we'll be near the Fennel Valley ruins.

Sounds good! Then I'll show Brandon a thing or two.

We're ready to rock!

[DETERMINED]

[EAGER]

Come on, Aipom, calm down.

[PLAYFUL]

What's going on? Are you gaining weight? Ah!

AIPOM/PIKACHU [AMUSED]

NARRATOR Although well aware that Ash is facing an important rematch

at the Battle Pyramid, it seems one of Ash's Pokémon

thinks laughter is the best medicine!

And then, finally..

Yay! We made it!

[RELIEVED]

Wow, I hadn't seen the sun in such a long time

I'd forgot what it looks like!

Yeah. Just smell that air!

AIPOM/PIKACHU [EXCITED]

AIPOM/PIKACHU [PLAYFUL]

[SHADOW BALL MOVE]

[EXERTION]

ASH/BROCK/MAY/MAX Huh!

What was that?

Beats me!

[CONCERNED]/[DETERMINED]

Pikachu! Hey, where's Apiom?

Aipom!

[CHALLENGING]

[INTENT]

[PROTECTIVE]

Aipom!

A Weavile!

Let me look!

POKEDEX Weavile, The Sharp Claw Pokémon.

Weavile is the evolved form of Sneasel.

It is said to be extremely intelligent

and its sharp eyes see everything.

[CHALLENGING]

You want to battle, huh?

[SHADOW BALL MOVE]

[all gasp]

Everyone in good shape?

[DETERMINED]

[EXERTION]

[SHADOW BALL MOVE]

[screaming]

Okay! I've had just about enough!

Pikachu! Use Thunderbolt!

[THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

[DODGING]

What a dodge!

[FRUSTRATED]

[SHADOW BALL MOVE]

Quick! Dodge, Pikachu!

[DODGING]

[PAINED]

Pikachu, are you hurt?

[STRUGGLING]

[PROTECTIVE]

Want to go too? Then use Swift!

[SWIFT MOVE]

[CONFIDENT]

Weavile dodged it!

Yeah, and at the speed of lightning!

Aipom! Use Double Team now!

[DOUBLE TEAM MOVE]

[CONFUSED]

Aipom, quick! Now use Swift!

Aipom!

PIKACHU/AIPOM [CONCERNED]/[STUNNED]

- Aipom! - That was so rough!

ASH/MAX/MAY/BROCK Huh!

MAX 'Weavile's gone!'

What was that all about?

Hey! I just saw the whole thing!

Who's he?

Excuse me, who are you?

We'll save that for later!

Right now, we've got to get

this Aipom some help!

I've got a little hut in the woods. Let's go!

ASH/BROCK/MAY/MAX Huh?

PIKACHU [CONFUSED]

Amazing. See that?

That Weavile wiped the walls with Aipom!

Not easy since they were outside.

[chomping]

My advice is to stay away from that crazy kook at all costs!

Oh, what do you know?

Think of that lean jaw, those deep-set eyes.

That no-nonsense take no prisoners attitude. Please!

- Weavile's a dreamboat! - Huh?

[laughs]

I know that laugh.

- Weavil is mine! - Hey, great!

Grabbing and giving to the Boss is good thinking!

Not quite. We're going to grab it and give it to Yours Truly!

[both gasps]

Yes! This is love at first sight!

Yeah, well, you sure sound blind to me.

Ah, feeling a little jealous, eh?

You and Weavile are like night and day!

Oh, yeah? And which is which?

Calm down. This is Jessie after all.

Ah! Fine then! You want that dope?

I'll go and declaw myself, see?

When that Weavile's begging me for mercy, then we'll talk!

Sounds good! This should be fun!

For sure. Real face-smashing fun!

- Now, what do we do first? - Oh, dear.

Every time they get like this, some awful thing

either erupts, excretes, or explodes.

Oh, joy, what a choice!

MAX 'Wilderness Guard Corps?'

Right. My name is Kerrigan and I'm a member.

It's my responsibility to watch this forest.

Thanks a lot for helping us out like this.

My name's Ash, and this is my buddy, Pikachu!

[FRIENDLY]

- Hi! I'm May! - My name's Max!

And I'm Brock.

It's a pleasure. And I'm sure glad everybody's safe!

Aipom's going to be just fine, after a good sleep, of course.

[DISTRESSED]

[SLEEPING]

Thanks, Kerrigan! I know it could have been worse.

What's with that Weavile?

That Weavile's a stray, Brock.

What do you mean stray?

You see, there's a large group of Weavile and Sneasel

and they all live together here in the forest.

But at some point..

...that particular Weavile

left the group, and started living out on its own.

But, whenever it sees people with Pokémon

it has tochallenge them!

[gasp]

[SHADOW BALL MOVE]

[screams]

So, what happened to you today, I've seen many times before.

But I'm afraid I haven't any idea what the motive is behind

Weavile's actions.

There's got to be a reason.

Right, so I think I'd better go have a look around the area

where this has all been taking place!

Kerrigan, wait! I want to go with you too!

[DETERMINED]

- Can I go, too? - Me too?

And me?

But kids, this could get pretty dangerous.

I know. But I can't just let other Pokémon get beat up

not the way that my Aipom did.

Okay! Are we ready to go?

ASH/MAX/MAY/BROCK Right!

Aipom, you rest. We'll be back.

[SLEEPING]

SNEASEL [URGENT]

[SURPRISED]

SNEASEL [URGENT]

[DESPERATE]

[DESPERATE]

[CONFLICTED]

I don't see anything around here.

I've seen Weavile in this area many times.

Pikachu, think you can smell if Weavile's been hanging around?

[OPTIMISTIC]

[EXERTION]/[INTENT]

Pikachu's onto something! Let's follow!

ASH/MAX/MAY/BROCK Right!

MEOWTH Yoo-hoo, Weavile!

[SURPRISED]

Yo, Weavile, it's your bro!

I'm a Weavile, you're a Weavile..

[SUSPICIOUS]

Hold on! What happened to face smashing, declawing

and bang zooming?

All I see is an overfriendly

trick-or-treater out a tad too late.

Wrong again! The friendly though funny face of Meowth's

is the perfect ruse!

Then, that macho mush will be mine.

[chuckles]

STRAY WEAVILE [SUSPICIOUS]

Heh! Where am I from?

I come here from a magic forest far, far away.

Come on! Put her there, pally of mine!

It's meant to be!

[AGGRESSIVE]

Okay. That forest wasn't magic.

[SUSPICIOUS]

No, not that!

[screams]

Why Meowth? Your bang ran out of zoom?

What did Weavile say?

That dude told me if I ever trespassed on his turf again

there was a Shadowball with my name on it!

Man, those claws can sure give you a stiff neck.

Poor baby.

Give me a break! Get back in there!

Are you nuts? I'll get used for target practice!

Which will be a cakewalk

compared to what I'll do to you!

'It's Weavile! Over there!'

PIKACHU [INTENT]

[INQUISITIVE]

[DISMISSIVE]

[INSISTENT]

[DISMISSIVE]

[FRUSTRATED]

Know what they're saying?

Nah.

You do. Translate or else.

Okay. First, Pikachu said, "Why you doing that stuff?"

Weavile says, "I don't have to answer

to a little piece a yellow junk like you!"

And then?

Then zip! Those two were speaking faster

than a freight train!

You are a sorry excuse for a Pokémon after all!

Oh! You guys?

[SURPRISED]

Prepare for trouble, "us" guys it is!

We're here on some Weavile biz!

An evil as old as the galaxy!

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!

Hey, Meowth's the name! Yeah.

Wherever there's peace in the Universe..

...Team Rocket..

...will be there..

...to make everything worse!

[EMPHATIC]

- Team Rocket! - Ah!

Weavile sir? You're just a hunk a hunk a handsome!

[laughs]

Jess, you wouldn't even call Giovanni "Sir."

Let's you and I fly away.

Weavile and I, up in the sky.

Man, she's weird!

We're not going to let you do that

when we've got battling to do!

Battle yourself! No one puts a mark on my Weaviley poo's face!

Man, did she miss the boat.

SNEASEL [THRILLED]

[THRILLED]

[SURPRISED]

[URGENT]

One of the Sneasel group.

PIKACHU [CONFUSED]

But what's it doing here?

[DISPLEASED]

Look, bub! You start translating or I use you for a bullseye!

Yipes! First, Weavile says, "Why'd you follow me?"

[ADAMANT]

And then she says, "Hey! I'm not following! I'm escaping!"

Escaping from what?

What does that mean?

[CONFUSED]

SNEASEL [EARNEST]

MEOWTH 'That Sneasel babe's saying it wasn't too long ago'

'that all the Weavile and Sneasel'

'used to live peacefully in the forest..'

...until a total bummer of a day!

[SURPRISED]

[SNIDE]

MEOWTH This rogue Weavile suddenly appears out of nowhere

ready to stir it up!

That Weavile challenges this Weavile to a battle

for leadership of the whole ever loving tribe!

Weavile had one goal, to get big and strong!

Huh!

'I'll live by myself and show them what getting pumped up'

'really means!'

[EARNEST]

'But that rogue Weavile'

'turned out to be a real bad egg.'

A real nasty and mean Pokémon!

Finally, this Sneasel got sick and tired of being kicked around

and hightailed it on out of there!

That's just awful.

Poor Sneasel.

WEAVILE [ASSERTIVE]

[all gasp]

[ASSERTIVE]

WEAVILE GROUP [INSISTENT]

It can't be.

Yes, it can! That must be the rogue Weavile

we've been hearing about!

I'll bet it's been chasing that Sneasel ever since!

[ADAMANT]

[SCARED]/EARNEST]

Get your claws off!

For your information, that Weavile

you're cowering behind belongs to me now, so give it up!

Uh, Jess, aren't we straying a little off course?

Not in my flight book!

No sniveling Sneaselette's going to wreck my home!

- Huh? Wait! Jessie! - Stop!

Come with me, Weavile-ee for an evil as old as the galaxy!

[SURPRISED]

[all gasp]

[SHADOW BALL MOVE]

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Bombs away!

What could have put Weavile off so?

The only thing worse than a dame in the back

is a dumb dame in the front!

I knew it.

[sobs] It's the end of macho!

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

WOBBUFFET [EXASPERATED]

That Weavile wants Sneasel back!

What do we do?

You like that?

[SURPRISED]

You like that?

They're going to drag your Sneasel friend back with them.

Are you just going to stand there and let them do that?

You let that Weavile walk all over you before!

And now, you're just gonna let Weavile walk all over you again?

Excellent! It looks like everyone's accepting

the way things are!

Great! Perhaps, now they can live in peace

and this forest can begin getting back

to the way things used to be.

Right, which should make things a lot easier for you.

That's music to my ears.

ASH Hmm.

[THANKFUL]

See that? The Weavile's thanking you for the things you said.

Huh?

Oh! You're welcome.
