ANGIE: See, it's about oneof the Pokémon I'm raising.
The thing is...
ANGIE:it's actually inside that cave!
ASH: But what's your Pokémondoing in a place like this?
ANGIE: See it for yourselves,
and then I'll explainthe whole thing to you.
ASH: Hey, Angie? So where is it?
-ANGIE: I knew it!-Truth is
okay, you knowthe Scarf Monster you saw?
ANGIE: Well,that's the exact same Pokémon
I've been looking after...
ASH, BROCK, DAWN,PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [SHOCKED]
ASH: What're youtalking about, Angie?
ANGIE:I'll explain everything later.
ANGIE: For now, I need youto help me bring it back here!
ASH: Yeah? Sure!
DAWN: You've got it!
MEOWTH: Okay, good in front!
Left. Right. A-ha!Coast is clear!
Nary a bum nor beast in sight!
JESSIE: What do you think,you're on TV?!
In case you'rehaving a senior moment,
we're reporters forthe Sinnoh Star, get it?!
JAMES: Gotten!
JESSIE: Our scoop is covering
the mysterious SolaceonTown terror known as...
JESSIE:the one and only Scarf Monster!
JAMES: Soon to be scarfed upand sent solely to the Boss!
MEOWTH:His gain's Solaceon Town's loss!
JAMES: I'll be kingof the Team Rocket hill!
JESSIE: And I queen!
MEOWTH: Now isn't that keen?
WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]
MEOWTH: It's the heat!
JENNY: Monster tracksin a place like this?
JESSIE: Monster tracks?
JESSIE: Could we please geta comment
on yourterm "Monster tracks?"
JENNY: Who are you?
JAMES: Reporters!With the famed Sinnoh Star!
JESSIE:Inquiring minds want to know!
JAMES: Ewww.
JENNY: I'm afraid lately
we've been finding markslike this all over Solaceon Town
but the only thingthat we've been able to get
from our investigationis that it's saliva!
JESSIE: Well!
This could be the moist markof the very monster we seek!
A nearby monster!
ASH: Hey,do you really think
this isthe way to catch your Pokémon?
ANGIE: There it is!
BROCK, ASH, DAWN,PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [SHOCKED]
ASH: It worked!The same thing we saw before!
DAWN: It's theScarf Monster for sure!
BROCK: Not so fast. I know that!
BROCK: It's a Lickilicky!
DAWN: A Lickilicky?
POKEDEX: Lickilicky.The Licking Pokémon.
Lickilicky can wrap itsenormous tongue around anything.
Getting too closeto this Pokémon
will result in a saliva shower.
LICKILICKY: [HAPPY]
ANGIE: Guys,I'm afraid that Lickilicky,
which I justhappen to be raising,
is the very Scarf Monster
that everyone's beenmaking such a fuss about.
ASH, DAWN, BROCK,PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [SHOCKED]
LICKILICKY: [HAPPY]DAWN: You can't be serious!
ASH: I think it's timeto tell us what's going on!
ANGIE:You see, what happened was,
my parents decided to letme look after this Lickitung
for a little while, just whilethey were away on vacation!
ANGIE: But I guessI over-trained it.
I even taught it Rollout!
ANGIE: The next thing I knew,it evolved into a Lickilicky!
BROCK: It's never a good thingwhen a caretaker goes ahead
and evolves someoneelse's Pokémon...
ANGIE:And to make matters worse,
it also happens to hatebeing stuck in its Poké Ball!
ANGIE: So I've been tryingto keep Lickilicky in this cave
just to make sure my Mom and Daddon't find out what happened.
ANGIE: But there's been
the teensy issue ofLickilicky's appetite.
It keeps sneakingout of the cave
and going off to townsearching around for food!
ASH: That's a problem.
DAWN: But why is Lickilicky
wearing that thingthat looks like a scarf?
ANGIE: That?Well, as you can see
Lickilicky's notthe smallest Pokémon
and it doesn't like Poké Balls.
ANGIE: So...
LICKILICKY: [CONFUSED]
ASH, BROCK, DAWN: Wow!
JESSIE: Finally! Up there!
JAMES: Only one monstercasts a scarfy shadow like that!
MEOWTH: Let's catch itbefore we lose our nerve!
JESSIE, JAMES: RIGHT!
ANGIE: I just blowup Lickilicky's collar,
and then pull itaround like a balloon!
BROCK: Angie? You'vegot quite an imagination!
ASH: Cool! So let's getLickilicky back to the cave!
PIKACHU: [HAPPY]
JESSIE: Not so FAST!
ASH, ANGIE, PIKACHU: [SHOCKED]
JESSIE, JAMES:We're tailing Twerps?
MEOWTH:Whadda we do wit' dose dopes?!
MEOWTH: Those Twerps arelike an itch you can't scratch!
JAMES: And with theSummer Academy Twerpette,
they've grown by one!
JESSIE: Don't forget,
as far as they're concerned
we're merely mild-manneredreporters for the Sinnoh Star!
JESSIE: Being high-poweredmembers of the mainstream media,
I was hoping for a word?
ANGIE: Uh, sure!
ASH: Which word do you want?
PIKACHU: [CALM]
JESSIE:Perhaps you don't realize
we're Sinnoh Star reporters!
We've got a superScarf Monster scoop,
but we seem to havelost track of it somehow!
JESSIE: Could youhelp us get back on track?
ASH: Sure,the Scarf Monster's over there!
ASH: See?!
ASH, ANGIE:No, not over there!
Over there! Over there!
JAMES: Strange, even for them!
MEOWTH: You said a mouthful.
JESSIE: Well all right,
but be sure to let us know ifyou get any leads now won't you?
ASH, ANGIE: Sure!!
JESSIE: We're wasting our time.
JAMES: Right!
ANGIE, ASH, PIKACHU: [RELIEVED]
BROCK:That was too close for comfort!
DAWN:But all's well that ends well.
ASH: Whatever, let's get going!
DAWN, BROCK, ANGIE: Right!
ANGIE: I know you don'tlike this and I'm sorry,
but you're just going to haveto lay low for a little while!
BROCK: I made a little snack foryou to tide you over, you see?
LICKILICKY: [SAD]
ALL: [GROAN]
ANGIE: Morning everybody!
ASH: Morning, Angie!
DAWN: Morning!
PIKACHU: [GREETING]
ANGIE: Thanks again forall the great help last night.
ASH: No problem! Glad to do it!
ASH: So, how are yougoing to take care of this?
DAWN: No matter what you do yourfolks are going to find out.
BROCK: Maybe you should just
bring Lickilicky out of the cave
and then tellthem what happened!
It'll be a bigweight off your shoulders.
ANGIE: Yeah.
ASH: Hey!We'll go and apologize with you!
ANGIE: How nice. Thank you, Ash!
OLD MAN: Look, for the lasttime I'm not seeing things!
Besides, I've never tolda lie in my entire life,
so when I say I saw it,I'm telling you I saw it!
OLD MAN: I was fishing atthe lake when I looked up
and spotted somethinghuge just flying on by!
OLD MAN: It had to havebeen that Scarf Monster,
no doubt about it!
JESSIE: Continue!
Which way did the Scarf Monsterfly as it flew on by?
OLD MAN: It flew rightinto that forest over yonder.
JESSIE:So! You ready to take flight?
JAMES: Right!
JAMES: And now,
which one of us resourcefultypes has a catch plan?
JESSIE: Maybe Meowthcould rustle us up a robot.
MEOWTH:Hey, you're reading my mind!
MEOWTH: Check out myroly-poly-robot in the round!
Heads up!
JESSIE: We're supposed tocatch the monster with it,
not bowl with it!
MEOWTH:You're missing the point!
MEOWTH: It ain't the ball,
it's the thing rolling the ball,see?
JAMES: So what use isthe aforementioned ball?
MEOWTH: That ball's constructedcompletely of Pokémon food!
JAMES, JESSIE: Pokémon food?
MEOWTH:If the Scarf Monster leaves
a sloppy sludge ofsaliva in its wide wake,
it follows itloves to chow down!
JAMES: Perceptive!
So assuming the Scarf Monsteris a Pokémon of sorts,
we should be able tolure it with this tidbit!
JESSIE:With brain cells to spare!
MEOWTH: The way to getto any Pokémon's heart
is through his stomach!
And this talking Pokémon'sgot a peach of a Poké-scheme!
JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH:A criminal's dream!
WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]
LICKILICKY: [SNIFFING]
LICKILICKY: [SNIFFING]
LICKILICKY: [HUMMING]
ANGIE: Lickilicky?
ANGIE:Lickilicky, where are you?
ASH, ANGIE, BROCK, DAWN,PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [SHOCKED]
BROCK: It must've wanderedoff after snapping the rope!
ANGIE: This is bad!
JESSIE: I can't seeneither hide nor scarf!
MEOWTH: Once that big boygets a whiff of this delicacy,
I guarantee you won't beable to get rid of the galoot!
JAMES: Eureka!
JAMES: I'd know that ScarfMonster's demeanor anywhere!
JESSIE:Ah yes, such a distinctive gait!

ANGIE: Mom! DAD!!
LICKILICKY: [SHOCKED]
ANGIE: I'm so sorry!
DAD: Angie, didn't Itell you to be extra careful?
MOM: Dear,you don't have to get so angry.

It's not like this is somethingthat can just be undone!
ASH: Excuse me!
ASH: I'm really sorry, too!
DAD: You're Ash, right?Sorry for what?
After all you didn'tdo anything wrong.
MOM: Well, we're sorry you'veall been dragged into this!
ASH: Look!
I want you to understandAngie didn't do it on purpose!
ASH: It only happened becauseshe was trying way too hard,
that's all!
ANGIE: Oh, Ash.
MOM: That's so sweet!We're both quite aware of that.
DAD: But the fact remains,
since it's acaretaker's obligation
to take complete responsibilityfor their actions,
we had no other choice but
to request its trainercome here this afternoon.
MOM: Not thatthat's going to help!
Because of courseonce a Pokémon's evolved
there's no turning back.
TRAINER: Momma mia!
DAD: I guess thetrainer's gotten here early!
TRAINER: Oh yes! Bello!
Such a magnificent creaturelike I've never seen before!
ASH: Any idea what's going on?
BROCK: Well,
It looks like that must beLickitung's original trainer.
DAWN: But instead ofbeing upset about it evolving,
the guy seems thrilled!
TRAINER: Oh! Wow,I can't thank you all enough!
TRAINER: Evolving my Lickitunginto such a bello Lickilicky
has made me into the mosthappy and fulfilled trainer
in the whole Sinnoh region!Thank you!
ANGIE: Okay, you don'tmind I evolved your Pokémon?
TRAINER: Are you kidding?
I wanted it to evolveas soon as possible!
And you saved me the trouble!Grazie mille!
MOM: Well, honey,as long as he's happy.
DAD: Yes,
it does look like we all gotoff easy this time from now on,
please make sure you're a wholelot more careful, young lady!
ANGIE: I will, Dad. Thanks!
ASH: That turned out good.
ANGIE: Yeah! Thank you, too!
PIKACHU: [HAPPY] / [RELIEVED]
SHINX: [HAPPY] / [RELIEVED]
ASH: Thanks a lot forletting us stay over!
DAD: Sure! Sorry things didn'tgo as smooth as they could.
ASH: No prob!
ANGIE: And Ash since I'm goingto work hard here at the center,
you make sure to workhard on your battling, deal?
ASH: You can count on it, Angie!
PIKACHU: [EXCITED]
NARRATOR: A visit to a dearfriend has gone a long way
to inspire even moredetermination in our heroes,

Now, it's on to Hearthome Cityand another exciting adventure!
