12x26 - Frozen on Their Tracks!

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: Leaving Snowpoint City behind, our heroes are now

on a train bound for Lake Acuity, where Ash's Battle with

Paul is soon to take place!

ASH: A full Battle tomorrow between me and Paul! Guess

what? I'm going to beat him so bad he'll never forget it!

DAWN: [SHOCKED]

ASH: [SHOCKED]

BROCK: Whoa, look out!

LOOKER: Oh boy, I'll tell you. That's some voice you have!

I sure was startled.

ASH: I'm so sorry! You all right?

LOOKER: Don't worry. I'm fine!

DAWN: What's with you? That sure came out of left field.

ASH: Sorry, but I was just thinking about

tomorrow's Battle with Paul.

DAWN: No surprise there!

PIKACHU: [AGREEING]

BROCK: Boxed lunches.didn't they come from the train station?

You've got quite a collection, I see!

LOOKER: They're so good I couldn't resist! I've got plenty

so you keep those!

BROCK: But how could we after startling you like we did?

LOOKER: It's okay, it's okay!

It's not like I ordered too many or was panicking because I

couldn't find my wallet and almost missed the train or

anything crazy like that!

ASH: Okay then, thanks! That's really nice of you to do!

And by the way my name's Ash!

PIKACHU: [GREETING]

DAWN: Hi! My name's Dawn!

PIPLUP: [GREETING]

BROCK: And my name's Brock! Thank you very much!

LOOKER: Hi! Looker's the name!

Nice to meet you. Would you three like some too?

I hear these things are really delicious.

JAMES: A freebie for us?

MEOWTH: Thanks! We ain't strangers to accepting gifts

from strangers!

JESSIE: Zero modesty is a small price to pay for free food!

MEOWTH: Sure looks good!

LOOKER: Seems every passenger on the train has one! But I still

have more of these left than I know what to do with! Of course!

There's still the conductor the engineer and the assistant

Pokémon too! That should get rid of all of them!

ASH: Assistant Pokémon?

BROCK: I think there's an Electric-type Pokémon working on

this train!

ASH: An Electric type? Sounds cool!

DAWN: I wonder which Pokémon it is!

Sometimes it's hard to know,

Which way you're supposed to go.

But deep inside, you know you're strong.

If you follow your heart, you can't be wrong.

Stand up! [Stand up!]

For what is right.

Be brave!

Get ready to fight.

Hold on! [Hold on!]

We're friends for life.

And if we come,

together as one,

Complete the quest, that we've begun,

We will win the battle!

Galactic Battles! Pokémon!

Galactic Battles! Pokémon!

ENGINEER: Steep incline ahead.

Ampharos, please use Thunderbolt.

AMPHAROS: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

ENGINEER: Thunderbolt confirmed. Full speed ahead!

ENGINEER: And now we're all clear! Excellent work Ampharos.

AMPHAROS: [GRATEFUL]

DAWN: Awesome! So Ampharos is helping engineer the train!

ASH: Ampharos, wow!

POKEDEX: Ampharos. The Light Pokémon. The tip of its tail

shines so brightly that in days gone by people used it to send

signals to each other with the light.

CONDUCTOR: Ampharos is a big help! When it comes to things

like traveling over steep inclines or starting from a full

stop Ampharos is an indispensable part of our team!

ASH: [AMAZED]

ASH: They work great together too!

PIKACHU: [AGREEING]

LOOKER: Here! These are for you all so please enjoy!

CONDUCTOR: Wow! Thank you so much!

ENGINEER: Confirming stop signal! Stopping!

LOOKER: [SURPRISE]

DAWN: I don't get it.

PIPLUP: [CONFUSED]

LOOKER: See that light up ahead?

CONDUCTOR: Right! And it's red!

JESSIE: The fun of feeling full!

JESSIE: A railway lunchbox really makes the trip!

JAMES: And what a generous gentleman! It seems the only

thing I've been given lately is grief!

MEOWTH: Let's let this grub digest a bit and then go and cop

Pikachu! With these dapper disguises those dumb Twerps

don't have an inkling we're on the Twerpish take, you know?

JAMES: We're inert! That's odd.

JESSIE: Unless we're stopping to hug a few trees I agree!

MEOWTH: I think that red light's doing the talking!

ENGINEER: Understood. Thanks very much. According to the

Command Center no trouble has been reported to warrant a red

light, but there's no mechanical malfunction either.

DAWN: Wow! So I wonder why there's a red signal then.

CONDUCTOR: It's possible there's some kind of trouble that hasn't

been reported yet. I think I'll go check it out!

ENGINEER: Please do.

LOOKER: Uh, please wait!

LOOKER: I'll go with you!

ASH: You're going to go too?

PIKACHU: [CONFUSED]

LOOKER: Right! I've always wanted to be able to take a walk

in this gorgeous area! All right then, shall we?

CONDUCTOR: Uh, okay! Sorry for this inconvenience,

but please wait here.

ASH: Right!

ENGINEER: So, I'll let the other passengers know what's going on.

ASH: Okay.

ENGINEER: Let's go, Ampharos.

AMPHAROS: [AGREEING]

BROCK: And, in the meantime why don't we have lunch?

DAWN: Great idea! I can't wait to try the lunches he gave us!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

ASH: [HAPPY]

JESSIE: Nothing like watching a bunch of Twerps

have a jolly old time!

JAMES: Let's turn it into our jolly old time! We'll pilfer

Pikachu and a plethora of Pokémon!

JESSIE: Oh, you're on.

MEOWTH: Got to strike when the iron is hot! And if it were any

hotter it'd melt!

ENGINEER: We're terribly sorry.

ENGINEER: We didn't know you were in such a rush. We'll be

moving just as soon as we have confirmation that it's safe to

go, so thanks for your patience.

ENGINEER: But for now, you're welcome to go enjoy the great

outdoors! The highland breeze is quite refreshing.

JESSIE: Hey, don't waste your breath Bub! We were right in the

middle of catching all those Twerp Pokémon.

MEOWTH: I think she ate too much!

JAMES: Perhaps a teensy breath of fresh country air will snap

her out of it!

ENGINEER: A wise idea! And we'll both be outside as well while we

inspect the train!

AMPHAROS: [AGREEING]

LOOKER: Hmm, obviously this track hasn't been used in quite

a while, but any rust that should be there has been worn

right off and it almost looks like new!

CONDUCTOR: Now who could have done this?

CONDUCTOR: Someone changed the controls. The track switch too!

LOOKER: They must have done it deliberately - so our train

would stop. While they used the abandoned track.

LOOKER: Oh it's all fairly simple when you give it a good

look! A train must've just come through.

CONDUCTOR: But why would somebody do that then?

LOOKER: Well, that's not so clear.

CONDUCTOR: Mr. Looker we need to return to the train at once!

I'll make a full report and check the next crossing!

HAPPINY: [HAPPY]

BROCK: Are you feeling nice and full, Happiny?

HAPPINY: [CONFIRMING]

BROCK: Sudowoodo, Croagunk how about you?

CROAGUNK : [HAPPY]

ASH: Now, let's get in a little

practice for our match against Paul!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

PIPLUP: [SHOCKED]

PIKACHU: [PANICKED]

ASH: Pikachu! Everyone!

ENGINEER: What's going on?

ENGINEER: [SURPRISE]

JESSIE: One thing's for sure it's certainly not you!

JAMES: You drive a train but look what we do!

JESSIE: On the wind!

JAMES: Past the stars!

MEOWTH: Get a clue!

JESSIE: Bringing chaos at a break neck pace!

JAMES: Dashing hope putting fear in its place!

JESSIE: A rose by another name's just as sweet!

JAMES: When everything's worse our work is complete!

JESSIE: Jessie!

JAMES: And James!

MEOWTH: Meowth, that's a name!

JESSIE: Putting the do-gooders in their place!

JAMES: We're Team Rocket!

JESSIE: In your face!

WOBBUFFET: [AGREEING]

MIME JR. : [AGREEING]

ASH: Team Rocket!

BROCK: Not you guys again!

DAWN: Give our Pokémon back!

GROTLE: [ANGRY]

JESSIE: Spew your nonsense when you're asleep!

JAMES: We'll give them back just as soon as you grow up!

MEOWTH: If you really think we'd give up these cuties when things

are going our way, you don't deserve them in the first place!

JESSIE: Twerps can be such a down when things are looking up.

JAMES: Yup!

JESSIE: The world is much better when we're in the big time!

WOBBUFFET: [AGREEING]

ENGINEER: Why the nerve!

How dare you do this to my passengers!

AMPHAROS: [ANGRY]

JESSIE: Let us not forget we were your customers too

choo-choo chucklehead!

JAMES: And in this world the customer's always right!

MEOWTH: We just decided to switch to a ride with

a little more kick!

JESSIE: A wise pick!

ENGINEER: Ampharos get back the passengers' Pokémon at once!

Use Signal Beam!

AMPHAROS: [SIGNAL BEAM MOVE]

PIKACHU: [SHOCKED]

BROCK: Quick now's your chance! Jump down onto the grass!

JAMES: Oh no! Our stolen stash sprung a leak!

JESSIE: Well also in this world you take what you can get!

ENGINEER: Ampharos don't let them escape!

AMPHAROS: [PURSUING]

JESSIE: It's Sparky again!

MEOWTH: I'll knock it off! Shake it baby!

AMPHAROS: [STRUGGLING]

HAPPINY : [EXCITED]

ENGINEER: Do it Ampharos! Destroy their remote control!

AMPHAROS: [ATTACKING]

MEOWTH: Ah ah ah!

JESSIE: [SHOCKED]

ENGINEER: Oh No! [WORRIED]

JESSIE: This is so deflating!

WOBBUFFET: [AGREEING]

ASH: Don't worry! We'll get the Pokémon back!

ENGINEER: But wait! It's too dangerous!

BROCK: No! Please, instead of being concerned about us you've

got to get in touch with the Conductor!

AMPHAROS: [ATTACKING]

PIKACHU: [RELIEVED]

HAPPINY: [GRATEFUL]

PIKACHU: [THANKING]

PIPLUP: [APPRECIATIVE]

JESSIE: And where do you think you're going?

That's just plain rude!

WOBUFFET: [AGREEING]

JESSIE: Stay put!

JAMES: Stop moving!

MEOWTH: Oh, you could of listened to me but no!

WOBUFFET: [AGREEING]

ASH: Pikachu!

DAWN: Piplup!

Whoever these belong to must've used these

tracks to transport something.

PIKACHU: [STRUGGLING]

MEOWTH: The deal is no matter what kind if Thunderbolt or

Bubblebeam gets bandied about in this bag stays put in this bag!

by the beautiful scenery!

All right, Ampharos Thunderbolt.

AMPHAROS: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

DAWN: It sure is great to be moving again!

PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

BROCK: Now it looks like we'll be able to reach the Pokémon

Center just in time for your match!

ASH: Awesome! I can't wait to battle against Paul!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

LOOKER: Oh I see! You're having a Pokémon Battle at Lake

Acuity huh? Excellent! You all make sure you enjoy your youth!

NARRATOR: Now that our Heroes are once again in motion,

thoughts turn to Lake Acuity and Ash's Battle with Paul, as we're

left to wonder just what kind of Battle it will be! The answer?

Stay tuned!

LOOKER: This is code name Looker.

Zero three one two, reporting.

HANSAM: Team Galactic is actively working after all.

It appears they've transported something to Lake Acuity using

the rail system. Understood! I will continue my investigation!
