12x32 - Gateway to Ruin!

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: As Lilypad Town,

site of Dawn's next Pokémon Contest draws nearer,

our heroes have once again reached the largest mountain

in the Sinnoh region, Mt. Coronet.

ASH: Man, does it feel supermuggy here.

PIKACHU: [AGREEING]

BROCK: This is no ordinary forest... it's also a marshland!

DAWN: Do you hear that? PIPLUP: [CURIOUS]

ASH: It's a river!

DAWN: And look at that current!

BROCK: Yeah!

ASH: Hey, those are Shellos, right?

DAWN: Yeah, but Zoey's Shellos is pink!

Come to think of it... here, let me check it out!

POKEDEX: Shellos. The Sea Slug Pokémon.

A mysterious purple fluid oozes out of its soft body

when Shellos is strongly squeezed.

Two kinds of Shellos... pink and blue... have been confirmed.

ASH: Okay, so those Shellos are the other kind!

PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [SURPRISED]

SHELLOS: [SCREAMS]/[PANIC]

DAWN: Look at that pink Shellos!

ASH: Yeah, and it's going to get washed away!

PIPLUP: [BRAVELY]/ [CALLING]

DAWN: Piplup! No!

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!

PIPLUP: [BRAVELY]

SHELLOS: [STRUGGLING]

PIPLUP: [EXPLAINING]

PIPLUP: [EXPLAINING]

SHELLOS: [NERVOUS]

- DAWN: Great job, Piplup! - ASH: Hang on. We'll grab you!

BROCK: One, two, three!

PIKACHU: [CALLING]

PIPLUP, SHELLOS: [SCARED]

BROCK: There you go!

SHELLOS: [RELIEVED]

DAWN: Now, Shellos, are you okay?

SHELLOS: [AGREEING]/ [THANKFUL]

PIPLUP: [PLEASED]

NURSE JOY: You're okay! SHELLOS, PIPLUP: [CURIOUS]

NURSE JOY: Thank goodness! You all saved Shellos, right?

ASH, DAWN: Right!

BROCK: Who would've thought I'd see the beautiful Nurse Joy

out here?

BROCK: Look into my eyes!

I am overwhelmed with tears of joy

as wet as the marshlands in this humid area!

CROAGUNK: [CROAK]

BROCK: Though this doesn't help... either!

CROAGUNK: [CROAKING]

NURSE JOY: Well now, this is strange

ASH: Strange... What do you mean?

NURSE JOY: You see pink and blue Shellos

live on opposite sides of Mt. Coronet

so you never see them together

but since we're on the eastern side of the mountain.

There should only be blue Shellos here!

An unusual situation to be sure!

ASH: So why're Shellos different colors on each side?

NURSE JOY: Long ago the Shellos got separated

right around the time when Mt. Coronet was beginning to form!

It's said they evolved into their current shape and color

to adapt to their new environment.

But lately, there've been a number of pink Shellos

that have gotten lost on this side of the mountain!

DAWN: Gotten lost?

BROCK: Do you have any idea why?

NURSE JOY: Oh, if only I knew!

So for now let's take it back to the Pokémon Center!

NURSE JOY: Here you go. Shellos wasn't hurt a bit!

DAWN: Shellos, I'm so glad you're okay!

PIPLUP: [AGREEING] SHELLOS: [AGREEING]

ASH: Nurse Joy? We'll take Shellos back to its buddies

on the western side of the Mountain!

NURSE JOY: That would be wonderful!

I'm certain you'll find them easily

if you head toward the marshlands there

BROCK: Count on us! PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

LOOKER: Well, well!

BROCK, DAWN, ASH, NURSE JOY, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [SURPRISED]

LOOKER: Another lost Shellos, I see.

ASH: Wow! Mr. Looker!

LOOKER: Hi there! Nice to see you again!

NURSE JOY: Oh my, do you know each other?

- BROCK, DAWN, ASH: Sure do! - LOOKER: Well,

I'm in a hurry, so I'll see you later!

ASH, DAWN, BROCK, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [SURPRISED]

BROCK: So, why don't we get on our way too?

ASH, DAWN: Okay! Right!

PIPLUP: [ENCOURAGING]

SHELLOS: [HAPPY]

SATURN: Charon, haven't you found it yet?

CHARON: Patience, Saturn!

The scan on Iron Island narrowed down the expedition area.

The gateway to the Spear Pillar is definitely located

on Mt. Coronet.

So all that's left to do now is find it!

SATURN: Well, speed things up! We're behind schedule!

CHARON: Stop worrying!

This brilliant scientist must succeed,

or my name isn't Charon, understood?

Now, until this occurs, I suggest you relax.

JAMES: I thought those fashionably creepy voices

sounded familiar!

MEOWTH: Team Galactic, fashion freaks!

JESSIE: Hey look! Feast your eyes on that!

JAMES: Your point?

MEOWTH: Yo, it's a case Braniac!

JESSIE: But treasure lurks inside that case!

MEOWTH: You not sleeping enough are you?

JESSIE: It happens to be actress's intuition halfwit!

With all the treasure these Type As have been hoarding,

it's a candy store! Full of treasure!

- And it's all in that case! - JAMES: Case closed!

JESSIE: I suggest we make us that case's rightful owners!

MEOWTH: And then transfer ownership to the Boss,

of course!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: We'll ride the fast track to success

while treasures grease the rails!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

PIPLUP: [SINGING]

SHELLOS: [SINGING]

DAWN: Piplup's sure in a good mood!

ASH: I think because Piplup and Shellos have really hit it off!

PIKACHU: [AGREEING]

ASH, BROCK, DAWN, PIKACHU: [CURIOUS]

BROCK: I wonder if those are all caves...

ASH: There sure are a lot of them...

PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

ASH, BROCK, DAWN, PIKACHU: [CURIOUS]

PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

DAWN: Piplup, careful. It's dangerous!

PIPLUP: [ENCOURAGING]

SHELLOS: [CURIOUS] / [SCREAMS]

ASH, BROCK, DAWN, PIKACHU: [SHOCKED]

DAWN: Piplup!

- ASH: Shellos! - BROCK: Piplup!

BROCK, DAWN, PIKACHU: [SCREAMS]

LOOKER: Human footprints...

This tunnel appears to have been dug out recently!

LOOKER: What's that sound?

ASH, BROCK, DAWN, PIKACHU, PIPLUP, SHELLOS: [PAINED MOANS]

- ASH: Is everyone all right? - DAWN: I think so...

PIKACHU: [AGREEING]

BROCK: Piplup and Shellos, were either of you hurt?

PIPLUP: [CONFIRMING] SHELLOS: [CONFIRMING]

ASH: So I guess everyone's okay!

DAWN: Yeah but I don't think we can

climb ourselves out of this...

SATURN: Curses! This mountain is a plethora of ruins!

We've found more than enough ruins for my taste

and yet we still haven't found the gateway to Spear Pillar!

CHARON: Oh, how I wish you would learn to have patience!

CHARON: It might help you to remember

this region believes in the Time-Space legend!

Their ancient legends were of Pokémon!

Of course I'm referring to Dialga and Palkia as well,

and these ruins are the result of the peoples' desire

to encounter them! Therefore I suggest that you

enjoy our little search while you can!

DAWN: We're sure talking steep, aren't we?

PIPLUP: [CURIOUS]

PIPLUP: [EXCITED CRIES] SHELLOS: [CURIOUS]

ASH: Whoa, look! Footprints!

BROCK: Look at this side tunnel...

It doesn't look like it was formed naturally!

SHELLOS: [EXCITED]

DAWN: Wait, Shellos! Where are you going?

PIPLUP: [UNSURE] SHELLOS: [CONFIDENT]

ASH: Maybe there's something down that way!

PIPLUP: [CURIOUS]

SHELLOS: [SINGING]

SHELLOS: [CURIOUS] / [EXCITED]

PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

DAWN: Piplup! Stop wandering off without us!

PIPLUP: [RUNNING]

BROCK: It's another tunnel!

Now I'm positive someone dug the tunnels inside these caves!

DAWN: Yeah, but why would they do that?

BROCK: Good question! I wonder, too.

ASH: Hold on! If someone's already down here,

then why don't we just go and ask them how to get out of here?

DAWN: That's a good idea!

It's not like we have any better ideas! Come on! Let's go!

ASH: Right!

SHELLOS: [EXCITED]

PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

ASH, BROCK, DAWN, PIKACHU: [SHOCKED]

ASH: It's light down there!

DAWN: I'll bet you that's an exit!

- CHARON: Who's there? - ASH: Team Galactic?

PIKACHU: [ANGRY]

SATURN: Well of all the people to wander in here

off the street.

It would have to be you troublemakers!

ASH, BROCK, DAWN, PIKACHU, PIPLUP, SHELLOS: [SCARED]

- JESSIE: Aye yi yi! - JAMES: Twerps get around!

MEOWTH: Yeah but this time they crashed the wrong party!

SATURN: Now, until we finish our mission,

you sit quietly and stay out of our way!

CHARON: Ah! The famous children!

SATURN: You ignore them! And get back to work now!

- CHARON: Fine, fine - ASH: Mission, huh?

BROCK: I wonder what they're up to this time?

JAMES: Some conundrum!

MEOWTH: So the Twerps are all tied up now for a change.

JESSIE: Who cares? Treasure calls!

JAMES, MEOWTH: Right!

MEOWTH: But how do we get close with that loony toon

loitering like that?

SHELLOS: [CRYING]

ASH: Hey, Shellos, what's wrong? PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

PIPLUP: [CONCERNED]

CHARON: Silence! How can I concentrate with that racket?

Shut that thing up!

GRUNT (LOOKER): Sir!

GRUNT (LOOKER): Quiet down!

Or you're going to be sorry you didn't, see?

ASH: Leave it alone!

DAWN: Shellos is in pain from being tied up!

PIPLUP: [ANGRY]

GRUNT (LOOKER): Hang tight a little longer!

I'll get you out of here! There's no need to cry.

I promise I'll return you to your friends

just as soon as I can!

GRUNT (LOOKER): Good! Now keep it down! Same goes for you guys!

Gotta make sure these ropes are tight!

Don't say anything and just listen.

Team Galactic is looking for the legendary ruin here

inside Mt. Coronet,

and I'm here to find out what they want with it!

I'm going to get you all out of here,

so stay cool until the opportunity arises!

GRUNT (LOOKER): Excellent! You're not going anywhere!

- SATURN: Who are you? - GRUNT (LOOKER) : Sir!

GRUNT (LOOKER): I've been sent by headquarters

to assist with the expedition,sir!

CHARON: They shouldn't have done that!

We already have more than enough manpower!

GRUNT (LOOKER): I arrived in a hurry, sir!

So I only know this concerns ruins!

Please sir bring me up to speed if you would!

CHARON: Dear me, what a bother...

Our mission is to find the gateway to the Spear Pillar

which is located here on Mt. Coronet.

The tricky part of course is to find out exactly where!

GRUNT (LOOKER): What? Spear Pillar?

ASH: Gateway?

CHARON: Of course when we do finally find the Gateway...

- Show him! - GRUNT: Sir!

CHARON: We will then employ this key with which to open it!

ASH, BROCK, DAWN, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [SHOCKED]

ASH: Whoa, that's a key?

BROCK: So Team Galactic is looking for the ruin.

That's why they dug all of those tunnels!

DAWN: That's why the pink western Shellos wound up here!

It got lost and wound up on the east side!

SHELLOS: [SCARED]

SATURN: Take note of this, Charon!

Remember our leader has entrusted that key to us!

So be extra careful.

CHARON: Save your breath!

I couldn't care less about Dialga and Palkia!

And I could care less than that about your so-called new world!

If you should succeed in ruling this world,

it can only benefit me anyway!

So of course I hope

Team Galactic can deliver the goods...

MEOWTH: What a crazy key!

JAMES: Yes, some shape! A normal-shaped key it's not!

JESSIE: Who cares what shape it's in! Abnormal or not,

we'll grab it and open the gateway to that whachamacallit,

- right? - JAMES: I'm there!

MEOWTH: No need to twist my arm for treasure...

WOBBUFFET: [QUIET AFFIRMATIVE]

CHARON: So! Now that you're up to speed, get to work!

After all that's why you were sent here, right?

GRUNT (LOOKER): Sir!

ASH, BROCK, DAWN, PIKACHU, PIPLUP, SHELLOS: [SURPRISED]

CHARON: What the?

ASH, BROCK, DAWN, PIKACHU, PIPLUP, SHELLOS: [SHOCKED]

LOOKER: End of the line, Team Galactic!

- ASH: Mr. Looker? - SATURN: All right who are you?

LOOKER: I am a member of the International Police!

- The name's Looker! - BROCK: International Police?

- DAWN: Wow, who knew? - MEOWTH: Dig that!

That's that guy who gave us those boxed lunches!

JESSIE: All we need is the International Police.

JAMES: It appears we've wandered into a brouhaha.

SATURN: I recently received a report

about some meddling outside agent spying on our work.

And that would be you?

LOOKER: We're always keeping a close eye on everything you do!

SHELLOS: [NERVOUS]

DAWN: Shellos! PIPLUP: [CONCERNED]

LOOKER: Hey! Protect Shellos, quick!

- ASH, BROCK, DAWN: Got it! - SATURN: Put away the key!

- GRUNT # : Sir! - SATURN: Now, capture that man!

ASH: Shellos wait up!

JESSIE: Sweet pandemonium! Now's our chance!

JAMES, MEOWTH: Launch!

CHARON: Drat! Hurry and catch him!

JESSIE: Hello!

JESSIE: All right, Seviper use Haze!

SEVIPER: [HAZE MOVE]

CHARON: What's going on?

CHARON: The key is gone!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Way gone!

JESSIE: The gateway to the whachamacallit

is but putty in our hands!

CHARON: I've had enough who are you?

JESSIE: When it comes to this team,

too much is never enough!

JAMES: Since we're so strong and tough!

- JESSIE: On the wind! - JAMES: Past the stars!

- MEOWTH: Ready and rough! - CHARON: Silence!

Give us that key at once!

JESSIE: Did your mother interrupt you?

MEOWTH: Someone needs to teach you manners, Jack!

JAMES: Though, since the key's in our care

there's no need to share!

SATURN: All right surround them!

GOLBAT X : [EXERTION]

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH, SEVIPER: [PANIC]

SHELLOS: [CONFUSED]/ [PANIC]/ [SCARED]/[CRYING]

DAWN: It's all right Shellos!

ASH: We promised we'd take you back

to your friends and we will!

PIKACHU: [AGREEING] PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

ASH, DAWN, BROCK, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [RELIEVED]

ASH: You'll be home again soon!

PIPLUP: [AGREEING]

ASH, DAWN, BROCK, PIKACHU, PIPLUP, SHELLOS: [SURPRISED]

DAWN: Look at him go!

ASH: Man, Mr. Looker's awesome!

PIKACHU: [AGREEING]

GRUNT # : Wow, that guy's strong!

GRUNT # : Yeah maybe we should help out!

GRUNT # : Charon sir! We have a signal!

CHARON: Let me see!

It appears there's a space behind this stone

signaling a ruin of some sort...

SATURN: Finally! Toxicroak, appear now!

TOXICROAK: [APPEARING]

SATURN: Toxicroak, use Rock Smash and destroy the wall!

TOXICROAK: [AGREEING] / [ROCK SMASH MOVE]

LOOKER: So there's a ruin on the other side!

ASH, DAWN, BROCK, PIKACHU, PIPLUP, SHELLOS: [SHOCKED]

ASH: Whoa! Look at that!

LOOKER: Is that the gateway to Spear Pillar?

SATURN: You had better be correct this time.

CHARON: Of course I am!

That is indeed the gateway to Spear Pillar!

SATURN: Good. I'll be taking that key back from you now!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Dream on dweeb!

SATURN: Do it!

GOLBAT X : [ATTACKING]

JESSIE: That's our treasure!

JAMES: Stealing what's been stolen is bad luck!

MEOWTH: What he said!

SATURN: Now Toxicroak, use Dark Pulse.

TOXICROAK: [DARK PULSE MOVE]

JESSIE: Why couldn't we have opened

the whachamacallit with that key?

JAMES: It's not a whachamacallit...

MEOWTH: You see it opens the gateway

to Spear Pillar and you don't!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: We're blasting off again!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

CHARON: All right! Take the key out of its case!

GRUNT # : Sir!

CHARON: Ah, the key... Open the Gateway!

And then direct us to Spear Pillar straight away!

ASH, DAWN, BROCK, PIKACHU: [SHOCKED]

SATURN: So, Charon, why isn't the key responding?

CHARON: Well, it looks like we got the wrong ruin.

SATURN: We what?

CHARON: Obviously this ruin isn't the gateway

to Spear Pillar understand?

SATURN: All right pull out!

LOOKER: Team Galactic, stop!

GOLBAT X : [ATTACKING]

- ASH: Mr. Looker! - LOOKER: I'll be fine! But you!

Stop them from getting away!

ASH: Right, got it! Quick Pikachu! Use Thunderbolt!

DAWN: And Piplup use Bubble Beam!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

PIPLUP: [BUBBLEBEAM MOVE]

ASH, BROCK, DAWN, PIKACHU, SHELLOS: [SHOCKED]

LOOKER: They got away!

ASH: What's going on? SHELLOS: [EXERTION]

PIPLUP: [COMFORTING] PIKACHU: [CONFIDENT]

DAWN: Now what?

LOOKER: The subsurface water is rising!

It's all flooding out because Toxicroak destroyed the rock!

LOOKER: Quick, get in everybody!

ASH, BROCK, DAWN: Right!

PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [EXERTION]

ASH, DAWN, BROCK, LOOKER, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [SCREAMS]

ASH, DAWN, BROCK, LOOKER, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [SCREAMS]

CHARON: All right, so we failed to locate it today

but the gateway to Spear Pillar

is definitely located somewhere on Mt. Coronet.

So now we need to figure out which area to search next...

Simple, eh?

- LOOKER: Is everybody okay? - ASH: Yeah!

DAWN: We're all right.

BROCK: Thank you so much for everything, Mr. Looker.

LOOKER: I'm glad you're all in one piece!

DAWN: By the way, we had no idea you were

an International Police officer!

LOOKER: Uh... I didn't mean to surprise you!

I'm going to head back to headquarters now...

So, what are you going to do?

ASH: See we all promised Shellos

that we were going to take it back to its friends!

PIPLUP: [AGREEING] PIKACHU: [AGREEING]

LOOKER: Well it looks like we're already on the western side

of the mountain, so I'm sure youll easily find Shellos' home!

- Stay out of trouble... - DAWN, ASH, BROCK: Right!

PIKACHU, PIPLUP, SHELLOS: [SINGING]

BROCK: Look over there!

ASH: Ah amazing!

DAWN: All the tunnel entrances

on the mountainside have been sealed!

BROCK: The sediment must've loosened up from the subsurface

water and plugged all the holes!

ASH: Wow, that's great!

BROCK: So now the Shellos won't get lost

and end up on the wrong side of the mountain ever again!

DAWN: Thank goodness!

PINK SHELLOS HERD: [CALLING]

ASH: Look at that... It's Shellos's herd!

PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

SHELLOS: [EXCITED]

PINK SHELLOS X : [HAPPY]

SHELLOS: [THANKFUL]

ASH: Now you're back with your friends!

DAWN: Take good care!

BROCK: And don't get lost again okay?

PIPLUP: [HAPPY]

PIKACHU: [FRIENDLY]

SHELLOS: [CONFIDENT]

NARRATOR: Returning a wayward Shellos

back to its grateful herd, while battling a dastardly plot

to forge a new world by the evil Team Galactic.

It's all in a day's work for our heroes,

as their journey to Lilypad Town continues!
