24x20 - Advice to Goh! (Rivals for Go?! The Road to Mew!!)

[bunniefuu]

[playful music]

[narrator] Ash's goal is to battle one of the world's greatest Trainers, Leon.

Goh's goal is to catch one of every kind of Pokémon, including Mew.

This is the story of their adventure-filled journey

through the world of Pokémon!

[camera shutter clicks]

Pika!

-Look, it's over there! -Wow!

[Goh] The Oak Laboratory!

Grook. Grookey!

Hey!

[Goh] Professor Oak!

Race you!

Hey, wait up!

[Oak] It's been a long time!

-Have you been well? -[Ash and Goh] Yup!

Goh, I don't think I've seen you since Professor Cerise first opened his lab!

You're right.

And back then, we didn't have much time to talk.

Oh, here you go.

It's the report Professor Cerise wanted me to give you.

Excellent! Thank you!

-Hey, is this your first time here, Goh? -Huh?

Oh, no. I came to Pokémon Camp when I was six.

I remember some guy wasn't on time and kept us waiting forever!

That's the worst!

I'll bet that guy, he must've overslept, you know?

Huh. Wait. Hold on.

He was six years old? And overslept?

[laughs]

I wonder if the guy you're speaking about is Ash.

Back then…

when I was at Pokémon Camp, I came across Mew!

And that's when I found my dream!

Oh? What kind of dream?

Since I want to meet Mew again,

and Mew has the DNA of every Pokémon…

my dream is to catch every kind of Pokémon!

Mm. Now, that's a fine dream!

So, just how many Pokémon have you caught so far?

Here… Take a look!

[Oak] Amazing. That's quite a number.

What?! Suicune?!

-Huh! -[Goh] Right! I caught it!

Splendid!

Say, Goh. Have you heard of this?

[Oak] It's called Project Mew.

-Project Mew… -What's that?

Hmm.

They've decided to put together a team to investigate Mew.

They're currently looking for new members.

However, in order to become a member,

you will be sent out on several trial missions.

Yeah…

[Oak] What do you think?

If you want to join, I can submit your name.

Thank you, Professor, but I'll pass.

-[both gasp] -Why turn it down?

I've never been much of a team player, and I'm not the type

who likes going on missions created by other people.

Well, I think it would be a chance to meet people

who share the same dream as you.

But I won't try to change your mind!

That reminds me.

Your Pokémon are waiting for you.

-[excited gasp] -Pika, pika!

[Goh] Project Mew. Huh.

[theme music]

[Goh] "Advice…"

[Ash] "To Goh!"

[panting]

Hey, Charizard! Bulbasaur!

Pika!

-[groans] -Bulba!

-Bulbasaur! -[grunts]

-It's been so long! -[exclaims]

Wow, it's so great to see all of you.

[Pokémons chatter]

-Wow! -Pikachu!

-[Ash laughing] -Pika, pika!

[Goh] So those are all Ash's Pokémon?

-[distant bellowing] -[all] Huh?

-[loud thudding] -[mooing]

And my Tauros!

-Pika! -Aah!

-Wait, stop! -[Goh] Ash!

[screaming]

-[Muk grunts] -Huh!

[gasps] Muk, it's you!

[groans, laughs]

Heavy!

-[laughs] -Ash, you all right?

-Huh? -Pikachu.

I'm fine! Never felt better!

I'm so glad to see you're doing great!

Though, Ash, I confess I am worried a tiny bit.

[Ash] Why? What's the matter?

For the past few days, I haven't seen hide nor hair of Infernape.

[Ash] Huh.

-Ash, is that one of your Pokémon? -Uh-huh!

[Ash] I raised it from a Chimchar.

It didn't show up at mealtime, so I went searching for it with Tracey

but it was nowhere to be found.

I wonder what could be wrong with it.

Hey, Professor Oak?

Has Infernape been acting a little bit unusual recently?

Hmm.

Come to think of it,

it had quite a battle with Charizard just before it disappeared.

Before that, it battled Quilava.

It also had battles with Pignite and Talonflame.

All of them are Fire types.

Maybe it was doing some special training.

If that's true, there's no reason to disappear.

-In that case, let's go take a look! -Huh!

I'm going with you!

-Pika, pika! -Grookey-key!

[Ash and Goh] Infernape!

[Ash] If you can hear me, answer!

-Pika! -Grookey!

I don't think that it's around here.

-Pika, pika. -Huh!

Up there!

Huh! Up there where?

See? Over there!

[Goh's Rotom] Pidgeotto. The Bird Pokémon.

A Normal and Flying type.

[Ash] Here we go.

I know what you mean.

I've tried to catch it many times and failed!

Poké Ball, go!

-[Ash and Goh] Huh. -Grook, grook.

Grookey.

-Grookey-groo. -[Goh gasps]

[shrieking]

-[all screaming] -[Goh] Messed up again!

[all yelp]

-[Ash and Goh groan] -Pika.

No, you don't!

-[rumbles] -[all gasp]

Huh?

[Ash and Goh gasp]

[growling]

It's an Onix!

My lucky day!

All right, Poké Ball, go!

[groans]

Grookey-groo.

-[Ash and Goh yelp] -Grookey!

[low growling]

[Gary] Blastoise, Hydro Pump!

-[blasts] -Onix!

Somebody saved us…

Wait, that Blastoise…

-I was wondering who it was… -Huh!

…and it turns out to be Ashy boy.

[gasps] Gary!

Ha, ha. I just said that for old times' sake.

It's been a long time, Ash. Pikachu.

Uh-huh, it sure has!

Pikachu.

But what are you doing here?

You were doing Pokémon research in the Sinnoh region, right?

[Gary] Those days are over.

Now I'm on a long journey researching Pokémon all over the world.

And in the middle of it,

I came up with a goal that's brought me to Kanto.

Wait, what goal?

[Gary] But first things first…

Are you gonna introduce us?

Oh, sorry!

[Ash] He's a research fellow at the Cerise Laboratory, like me.

My name's Goh.

-[Gary] Hmm. -Grookey.

[Gary] You've got a cute Grookey.

Grookey-key! Key!

This is Gary.

[Ash] We grew up together, and we've been rivals forever!

Nice to meet you.

You too.

Oh, yeah!

And Gary's grandpa is Professor Oak!

[Goh] Oh! Professor Oak?

I started to get interested

when I heard that Ash had this buddy.

I wondered what you'd be like.

I'm not like anything. I'm just little ol' me.

[laughs]

I'm not interested in your personality.

[Gary] The only thing that interests me is your skill as a Pokémon Trainer.

[gasps]

If someone's gonna be Ash's buddy,

I want him to be a great Pokémon Trainer at my level or above.

[Goh] What's that supposed to mean?

I just wanna be sure you deserve

to be Ash's buddy, understand?

[groans angrily]

Come on!

-What is it with this guy? -[whistling]

Uh, well, he always acted like this with me.

Hey, by the way, what's the goal you were talking about?

A Legendary Pokémon.

A Moltres!

[both] A Moltres?

[Gary] I analyzed temperature, humidity, wind direction…

everywhere it shows up.

And I determined it's likely to appear somewhere near here.

So, I'm checking it out.

Whoa, awesome!

I could've done that easily.

[Gary] What brings you here, Ash?

I left my Pokémon with Professor Oak,

but Infernape is missing.

We're searching for it.

I remember Infernape…

and the way it battled in the Pokémon League.

Were you able to pick up any clues?

I did hear that just before it vanished, it battled with Charizard

and with Quilava and Pignite and Talonflame as well.

It's adding up.

And I just might know the location of a ravine where Infernape could be.

-Huh! -No time to waste.

-Let's hurry! -[Ash] Right!

This place is dangerous.

Think you can keep up?

Of course, I can!

You're not the one I'm worried about.

[taunting chuckle]

Huh.

If Ash can handle it, then I know I can!

Just stay on your toes.

Gary, what adventures have you had lately?

[Gary] Too complicated to explain.

-And what about you? -[Ash] Me?

Uh, let's see, uh…

Anyway, I've had lots!

[Ash] Who's that Pokémon?

[cheerful music]

Pika?

[Infernape grunts] Infernape!

Pika-pika!

[gentle music]

[Goh panting]

[scared scream]

[panting, groaning]

-Check that out! -Huh.

[Gary] A long time ago, the movement of lava created this ravine.

[Ash] Yeah?

Hey, Goh, have you noticed anything?

Huh.

Of course.

[Goh] This was once a volcanic area,

which definitely attracts Moltres to come here.

Good answer.

-But it's not the whole answer. -[Goh] Huh.

[Gary's Rotom] Moltres. The Flame Pokémon.

A Fire and Flying type.

When injured, Moltres enters the lava of a volcano,

and its fiery temperature helps heal its wounds.

[Gary] And one more thing.

[Gary's Rotom] They say when Moltres appears,

it brings spring with it.

Brings spring? [gasps]

Exactly.

[Gary] The flowers bloom here before surrounding areas,

and I've used that to deduce the time and place of Moltres's appearance.

But there's one last clue I need to add.

[both] Huh.

[Gary] Your Infernape, Ash!

My Infernape?

As I've gone to and from the Oak Lab,

I've observed Infernape a lot of times.

It's always making an effort to improve itself and get stronger.

So, if your Infernape wanted to challenge

an even stronger Pokémon to a battle…

it's likely it wants the Legendary Fire type Moltres as its opponent.

Goh, I assume you've already deduced that, right?

Well, as a fellow Fire-type Pokémon,

maybe Infernape sensed that Moltres would appear here.

[surprised groan] You think so?

That means if we find Infernape around here,

there's a really good chance Moltres will appear as well.

-[Infernape] Infernape! -[both gasp]

I hear it.

[chuckles]

It's calling Moltres…

-up there! -Huh.

Infernape!

Infernape!

-Pika! -Infernape!

Infernape.

-We were worried! -Pika, pika!

In…

-fernape! -[Ash yelps]

-[Ash groans] -Infernape! Infernape!

[Ash] You sure seem healthy.

Pikachu!

[Ash] So you wanna battle, Moltres?

Infernape?

-This Pokémon. -Infernape.

[Ash] Moltres.

Infernape!

You were right on target, Gary!

-And we're just getting started. -Huh.

-Check this out. -[Ash] Huh.

[Gary] It looks like Infernape's challenge has been accepted.

[action music]

[both gasp]

[screeching]

[Ash and Goh] Moltres!

[beeps]

Infernape!

Yeah, I really know how you feel, Infernape!

Infernape.

Hey, Moltres! Why don't we have a battle?

Infernape!

[screeching]

Let's go, Infernape!

Flamethrower, now!

[screaming]

[blasts]

[screeching]

[fire whooshing]

Looks like Fire Spin.

All right, use Dig!

[grunting, gibbering]

[Ash] Use Mach Punch!

Infernape!

It dodged it?

[grunts]

[screeching]

Watch out for Air Slash!

Don't worry, Infernape!

Match it with Flare Blitz!

In… fernape!

[Infernape gibbering]

-Infernape! -[thuds]

Infernape! [pants]

-[grunts] -[Ash and Pikachu gasp]

[determined grunt]

You still wanna battle, don't you? Hold on.

[gasps] Ash, look out!

[gasps] Huh.

[screeches]

Let's go!

Blastoise.

Use Hydro Pump!

Blastoise!

[screeches]

[fire whooshing]

Now use Rapid Spin!

Blastoise!

Skull Bash, let's go!

Blastoise!

-[gasps] -I knew it wasn't gonna be contained.

I'll use the momentum of its attack…

-with our Skull Bash! -Blastoise!

All right, use Water Pulse!

Blastoise!

[gibbers]

-Wow. -[both mumble]

-[awed gasp] -Grookey.

[screeches]

It can't be.

Is that move…

[Gary] Burn Up?

[both] Huh.

Blastoise!

[Gary] Meet it head-on with Hydro Pump!

Blas, blastoise!

[thrilling music]

Blastoise.

-Blastoise! -[expl*si*n]

[groans]

Huh.

Hey, Gary, what's Burn Up?

[determined groan]

[Gary] It's a move where the Pokémon uses up all the fire in its body.

A Pokémon who stops being a Fire type!

[Ash] Stops being a Fire type?

[Goh] Is that even possible?

The ecology of Pokémon is varied…

[screeches]

Blas!

It used Hurricane.

A Flying-type move!

Go on defense with Rapid Spin!

Blastoise!

No, Blastoise!

-Blastoise. -Huh.

Excellent battling, Blastoise.

Go take a good rest.

[screeching]

Now it's my turn!

Cinderace!

Use Pyro Ball!

[mumbles]

Cinderace!

-[screeches] -[gasps]

[screeching]

[both groan]

-Pikachu, use Thunderbolt! -Electivire, use Thunder!

Pika… chu!

Electi… vire!

[screeching]

-[Goh gasps] -[groans]

[wings flapping]

-Pikachu. -[all gasp]

[screeches]

[gasps]

Gary, Moltres is getting away!

-That's okay. -What's that?

A Moltres feather.

This is exactly what I was after.

Wow, whaddaya know?

Did you get video of Moltres, Goh?

-[gasps] -[Goh screaming]

I was sure I pressed the record button!

That isn't like you, Goh.

Panic is your biggest enemy.

Keep it to yourself!

[chuckles]

All right! It's mine!

-Corviknight! -[all] Huh.

-[Ash] What's that? -[Gary] A Corviknight.

I asked it to come here.

It's up to you.

Cor!

[wings flapping]

[calm music]

[Pokémons chatter in distance]

[gibbering]

[Pokémons chatter]

Everyone was really worried about you!

I've got to say I'm a bit surprised

that Infernape would go off to challenge Moltres.

Yeah, me too!

Ah, that battle with Moltres was so much fun!

Gary, you liked it too, right? Huh.

Hey, where's Gary?

Oh.

[Gary] Did the Moltres feather get to you?

[Danika] Yes. I was just checking it out.

Wonder who he's talking to.

Believe it or not, Gary is working to be a member of Project Mew.

-[Ash and Goh] Huh. -That's what this is about.

Hmm.

One of Gary's trial missions was to go out

and obtain a Moltres feather, you see.

No doubt about it.

It is a Moltres feather.

As always, excellent work.

I'm now sending your token.

[chiming]

Successfully received.

-Thank you. -[beeps]

Gary? What's this token thing?

[gasps]

You get a token when you've successfully cleared a trial mission.

Yeah.

I hear you refused Project Mew.

I can totally understand.

-Huh. -I'd say you made the right choice.

There's no way they would let a Trainer in

-as inexperienced as you are. -[grunts]

So, Grandpa, I'll be heading back out.

Journey calls!

Guess I should call you Professor Oak. Later.

Bye. Now you take good care.

And drop by when you're around.

Sure.

Bye, Ash. See you soon.

[chuckles]

So, Gary? Where are you off to next?

I'll go anywhere to research everything there is to know about Pokémon.

[Gary] And, of course, that includes researching Mew,

who has the DNA of every kind of Pokémon.

[gasps]

That's my decision.

Even if the path turns out to be a dead end.

I'm gonna keep on keeping on!

Sounds great! I'm with you all the way!

[Gary] Thanks! So…

[Ash] Everything about Pokémon, huh?

[Ash] Gary's always awesome!

-[Goh] I wanna join… -Huh.

…Project Mew. For sure!

You know what?

I'm gonna cheer you on with all my might!

Great, Ash! Thanks so much!

Yes. Gary would welcome that too.

-[Ash and Goh] Huh. -Why would he?

Might it be that what changed your mind…

was your reaction to Gary?

[Oak] I'd say he really wanted you to join.

But he could have just said so.

Gary never says what he means!

[Gary] Achoo!

You know?

I think I got played like a violin.

But, still, there's one thing I'm sure about!

I can't beat Gary the way I am now.

So, I'll give it my all!

Because the future's in the palm of my hand!

Grookey-key-key!

[narrator] Goh has decided to take up the challenge of joining Project Mew.

What trial missions are in store for him as the journey continues?

[closing theme music]
