17x19 - A conspiracy to conquer!

[bunniefuu]

[splashing]

Pika...

Chu!

Chu, Pika!

Some Thunderbolt, Electro Ball, Quick att*ck, and don't forget

Iron Tail.

First-rate moves, all.

Without a doubt, that Pikachu needs to be ours.

Yes, but first, we need to make our job easier

by separating Pikachu from that pesky twerp.

Wobbuff!

Yeah, but those two are stuck together like glue!

Prying them apart's gonna be tough!

[laughing]

I couldn't help hearing you.

That Pikachu would be a most useful acquisition indeed.

[Jesse] Eavesdropping is bad manners!

Who are you?

They call me Madame X.

And this is Malamar.

Malamar!

Mala...

[Ash] "A Conspiracy to Conquer!"

[narrator] After leaving Camphrier Town,

our heroes now continue their journey to Cyllage City

and Ash's next gym battle challenge.

Let's see...

In order to get to the Pokémon Center,

we pass through this forest...

Whoa, what's that?

Pikachu!

[Clemont] Oh, that?

That's a radio observatory.

Radio observatory?

Right!

It's a facility that receives radio waves

from outer space!

Then, it automatically analyzes those waves utilizing the latest

state-of-the-art high-technology equipment!

I'm not sure what you're talking about,

but it sounds cool!Pika!

[rattling]

[groaning]

Hey, you lugs-- Help me!

Meowth-- Pika!

What happened?Pika, Pika!

[Clemont] Meowth's hurt!

We need first aid!

Bonnie!

[Bonnie] 'Kay!

Pika...

What's up?

Pika!You're awake!

It's a ton of twerps!

No-- You've got to rest!

Stay down and take it easy.

Here, drink this.

Yeah, that hit the spot.

You lugs saved my life.

I owe you big time!

Really?

If you ask me, you're just trying to trick us again.

Dedenne!Pika!

Me-- Perish the thought!

I'm on the level, no doubt!

I came all this way to tell you you're in danger!

Danger?

What are you talking about?

Yeah-- I wanna hear more.

Pika, Pika.

Just thinking back on everything that happened

gives me the creeps.

It was like the worst nightmare anybody could have...

Malamar...

From this point on, you are all my servants

and you will obey my every command.

I don't know who you think you are,

but we don't take orders from pushy bigmouths!

There's only one boss who's our boss

and that's the one and only Boss!

Wobuff!

Inkay... Psybeam!

Pumpkaboo, Shadow Ball!

Pumpkaboo!Inkay!

Mala...

Mar...

Inkay, you okay?

Pumpkaboo, att*ck those fools!

Forget about it!

Those two won't att*ck my Malamar

and they won't att*ck me, Madame X, either.

Malamar!

Mala...

[Meowth] This is bad!

That wacko's gonna take control over all of us!

All right!

Mal?

Inflicting pain upon yourself in order to maintain control

over your own mind is quite clever.

Grab it!

[Jesse, James] Yes, Madame...

No-- Fight it!

Snap out of it!

You've gotta wake up, quick!

I'm out of here!

Now-- Go after Meowth!

[Jesse and James] Yes, Madame...

Wobbuff...

[Meowth panting]

So I ran and ran as fast as I could...

I never thought I'd get a load of someone so creepy and kooky.

We can't just stand here yapping!

Madame X is coming to get her hooks in Pikachu next!

You'd better scram!

Blah, blah!

I still think you're trying to trick us so you can end up

catching Pikachu for yourself!

Dedenne!

Bonnie's right.

But you won't fool us this time!

No way!

This is strictly on the level!

Come on!

Take a look in these peepers and you'll see I'm as honest

as the day is long!

[groaning]

[James] Meowth...

What are you doing here?

You'd better hurry and catch Pikachu.

Team Rocket!

Pika!

So you are trying to catch Pikachu after all!

No-- You've got it all wrong, palley!

They're being controlled.

Look at their dopey eyes!

[Madam X] Let's move!

Pika!

[Meowth] It's them!

And that's Madame X!

What kind of name is "X"?

So that's Malamar!

Let's see...

[woman] Malamar, the Overturning Pokémon,

and the evolved form of Inkay.

Possessing the strongest hypnotic powers of any Pokémon,

Malamar can compel others to do anything it wants them to do.

So that's the famous Pikachu.

A strong-looking Pokémon, indeed.

Pika!

I think I'll make you my servant right here and now.

Malamar!

Malamar!

Keep your eyes off of that light!

It'll grab you by the brain!

Pikachu, stop them with Electro Ball!Pika!

Pika, Pikachu, Pi!

Scram while the scramming's good!

[Clemont] Come on!

Leaving so soon?

Pikachu will now become a member of our Pokémon patrol.

Pokémon patrol?

[James] Unstoppable, and destined to take over the world

and put our beloved Madame X on the throne to rule it all.

Wobbuffet...

There is no way we're gonna let you take over the world!Dedenne, Dedenne!

Using Pikachu to take over the world is just plain wrong!

You're nuts!

'Course, now that I think of it,

that's what we're always trying to do.

Pika, Pika!

Pika, Pi!

Now they're using Malamar's Psychic!

Farewell, fools!

Pika, Pi!

Stop!

Pikachu!

We've got to do something!

I know, but how do we know where they're taking Pikachu?

I'm sure Madame X has to have a hideout somewhere...

The future is now, thanks to science!

Clemontic Gear on!

I thought we'd encounter a situation

precisely like this one!

You did?

Awesome!

It's a Pikabot!

I call it my a*t*matic Pikachu Retrieval Device.

So cool...

Pikachu Retrieval Device?

You get no points for good names.Dedenne!

Observe!

This detects Pikachu's unique energy pattern and will track it

to the farthest reaches of the land,

the bottom of the ocean, or the expanse of the sky!

Great!

Now we'll find Pikachu for sure!

It's incredibly inspiring that the steady progress of science

can never be stopped!

Pika, Pika, Pika, Pika...

It's picked up a signal!

Onward!

Go, a*t*matic Pikachu Retrieval Device!

Pika, Pika!

Pika, Pika!

Pika, Pika![Clemont] Begin retrieval!

Let's go!

Ash, wait up!Slow down!

I'm coming!

What about me?

Pika, Pika!

Pika, Pika!

Pika, Pika!

Pika, Pika!

Hey, everyone!

What's going on up ahead?

Pi... Pi... Pi... Pi...

I think... it's stuck.

[screaming]

Oops.

Another failure.

Failure is the mother of success!

I so want to believe that...

Okay, we're all set.

Now, why don't we see how you work?

Pika, Pi, Pi, Pi, Pika, Pika...

That's odd... Perhaps a loose wire...

That's the radio observatory we saw before.

Look!

Isn't that Officer Jenny's motorcycle?

[Ash] You're right.

Wonder what she's doing here.

You know, if that Pikabot of yours was on the right track,

maybe this weird joint is Madame X's hideout.

Could be.

Officer Jenny could have gotten a report

and went to investigate.

I'd say that the probability is quite high.

Okay, let's go in!

[Bonnie] Right!

Malamar!

Pi...

Pika...

Now you belong to me.

Come, Pikachu!

Good.

I just know you'll work very hard for me.

Madame X, we have intruders.

So they've found my hideout...

Those fools!

They're going to pay for this!

[James] They have the Pokémon Chespin, Fennekin and Froakie with them.

Perhaps you'd like to take them as servants too.

Yes, I would.

They should all prove to be quite useful.

Malamar...

Let's split up.

Right!

Bonnie, come with me!

'Kay-- We'll go down here!

Officer Jenny...

Since we saw her motorcycle parked outside,

she's got to be in here.

Yeah, but where is she?

I wonder if Madame X got a hold of her.

Dedenne!

Malamar!

Mala...

[all] Who's that Pokemon?

It's Malamar!

Malamar!

Malamar!

So this is Madame X's hideout, isn't it?

Malamar...

[gasping]

[Ash] Not in here...

I wonder if Clemont found any sign of them.

[Clemont] Negative.

I haven't found a trace of them.

Ash, Serena...

Let's all continue looking together.Dedenne.

Clemont... Bonnie?

[Meowth]Kinda...

But they're being controlled now, too!

Malamar!

[Serena] Malamar?

Mala...

Don't look at it, twerps!

Let's run!

Mala...

Oh no, what do we do now?

I know!

Use Fury Swipes on me, fast!

Right!

Now, me!

Ow, ow, ow, ow...

Man does that hurt!

And I'm afraid your mug's up next!

No, no!

I don't want my face to end up all scratched like that!

Malamar, Mal...

Serena!

We're too late!

We've gotta scram outta here, quick!

Sounds good, but how do we do that?

Meowth, can you cut that thing loose?

No problem!

Great job, Meowth!

Mala...

Mal!

Dig it, now maybe we'll finally get the chance

to stomp all over Madame X's plans

to take over the world and save our buddies at the same time!

Gotcha!

Hey, where are we?

It's way too dark to know for sure,

but I think we're inside the monitoring room!

You thought correctly.

[Ash] Pikachu!

Show them your power.

Pikachu!

[screaming]

Twerp!

Are you okay!

Why would Pikachu att*ck me like that?

Check out the eyes...

Pikachu's been hypnotized by Malamar!

Pika...

No way!

Pikachu has become my faithful and obedient servant!

Now, stop them once and for all!

Pika...

Pikachu!

Pika!

Magnificent!

Continue your wonderful work!

Pika.

Pika, Pikachu, Pi!

Stop!

Pikachu!

Pika!

Pikachu can't hear a word you say!

Madame X has taken over Pikachu's noggin!

I don't believe it!

Pikachu's still my number-one partner!

And my friend!

I know you can hear me!

[Serena] Give it up, Ash.

No matter how you fight, you cannot resist Madame X.

The world now belongs to Madame X,

with Pikachu and the Pokémon patrol.

[laughing]

Pikachu, finish this.

Pika!

Pika, Pika, Pikachu, Pi!

Chu!

[groaning]

Pika, Pika!

Pika, Pika!

Pika, Pika!

Pikachu...

My voice...

Can youhear it?

Fight it!

You can't give in to her!

You fool.

You cannot win.

Pikachu, buddy...

I believe in you.

Pi... Pika!We're a... team...

What are you doing?

Continue to att*ck the boy!

That's it, Pikachu!

You can break free!

Pi...

Pi...

Whatever bond may be left,

I will soon break that connection forever!

Pikachu, stop him now!Malamar!

Pika...

Pika...

Pika, Pika!

Pi...

Pi...

You can do it, Pikachu!

Pika...

Pi...

Pika...Pika!

Pika, Pika!

Pika, Pika!

Pika?[Ash] Look out!

Pika, Pika!

Pika, Pika!

Pika, Pika!

Mala!

Malamar!

Malamar, Mala...

Pika.

Pika, Pi.

Pikachu!

Pika!Yeah!

Pikachu!Yes, yes!

Why are we here?

Most likely to figure out where we are...

Wobbuff?

You're you again!

Big improvement!

Uh...

So who can tell me what Serena's doing over here?

Uh, I guess Malamar was controlling me as well!

Look, there's Madame X!Dedenne!

[gasping]

Officer Jenny!

What am I... doing?

I got a report that strange things were going on here

and hurried over right away, then,

I ran into that Malamar...

Malamar!

Malamar.

Malamar, Malamar...

Hey-- Malamar's saying it's really grateful

to Officer Jenny for doing all of its work for it!

What's going on?

Of course!

Malamar must've hypnotized Officer Jenny

so she could then assume the role of Madame X!

Malamar!

Malamar says that's how it was able to start working

on an important new w*apon!

New w*apon?

And what are you gonna do with it?

Pika!

Malamar.Take over the world!

Then that means, we'll be doing all the work for Malamar

like before!

Oh-- In your dreams!

Inkay, Psybeam!

Pikachu, Thunderbolt, let's go!

Pika!Ink...

Pikachu!

Malamar, Mala!

Mal...

It's fleeing!

Come back and fight, you coward!

We'll get it!

Oh!Pika!

What's that?

The new w*apon...

This is it.

Malamar!

That's right.

This is how the new world starts.

And that will only be the beginning

of its evil grand design!

Malamar!

But, now that it's been discovered by humans,

Malamar must destroy it right away!

Malamar!

Wait, Malamar!

We've got to run!

It's going to blow!

Malamar!

Look-- It's Malamar!

[Clemont] The beginning of its evil grand design...

Those words came from Malamar.

What does it mean?

What happens next?

Well, there are still a lot of questions left unanswered.

Malamar.

That's one scary Pokémon...

Pika!

[narrator] Our heroes and Officer Jenny are left wondering

what Malamar's master plan could be,

but Ash's Cyllage City Gym battle still lies ahead,

and the journey continues!

Being controlled by Malamar like a bunch of robots...

How pathetic can we get?

Wobbuffet.

Hold the phone.

Malamar's the evolved form of Inkay, right?

Wobbuff?Inkay?

Inkay!

Stay tuned...
