25x49 - Must Be Our Heroes and the Witch!

[bunniefuu]

[narrator]
Ash and Pikachu

are on a relaxing journey,


and after meeting up with Misty again,

they've decided to travel along with her.


-[stomach rumbles]

-[groans]

Man, am I hungry.
Pika.

All right.

Then let's find a nice place for lunch.


-[Misty] Look!

-[Ash] Huh?

[both] Lunchtime!
[Kathy] Thanks for your patience.

Some sandwiches

and a dish of special Pokémon food.

[both] Wow! Time to dig in!
[both munching]

-The yummiest!

-It's the best!


But I feel like I've tasted

something like this before.

I was just thinking the exact same thing.

[munching]

Pika!


These are

the most delicious things I've had.

Why, thank you! Mister Chef?
You're being praised! Come on out!
Aha. Thank you so much!

[both gasp]

Hey, it's Brock!


-[Brock] Ash! Misty!

-Pi... Pikachu.


[laughs]

Nice to see you, Pikachu!


[whispers]

Brock. So, what are you doing here?

What does it look like?

I've taken a job here

as the restaurant's head chef, of course!


-But you're a Pokémon Doctor.

-I chose this.


I'm devoting my life

to helping her in all she does!

Ah...
Brock, I've got great news!

[Kathy] My sweetie's finished

his culinary training,

and now he's coming back!
Huh?

And once he's here,

we'll be planning for our wedding.


Thanks so much for helping me

with everything up to now!

Uh, you're very welcome.

[theme music]

[Ash]
"Must Be Our Heroes And The Witch!"

[Ash] Come on, Brock, cheer up!
I was on fire. Now I'm b*rned out.
You remember what you told me, don't ya?

When your chance comes,

you just gotta go for broke!

[awkward chuckle]
Guess I was wrong.

What if your chance comes

and you're already broken?


-He's hopeless.

-What'll we do with him?


-Pika.

-[boy] Huh?


-Ash?

-[all] Hmm?


[Ash gasps]

Cilan!

It really is you!
[Ash and Cilan] Long time!

[laughs]

You're the one who gave Ash that lure.


Yeah! Meet my good friend

from a bunch of journeys,

you'll love her.

I am Cerulean Gym Leader Misty,

with beauty known around the world!

Why, of course!

-A Sensational Sister of Cerulean City!

-[awkward chuckle]


[Misty]
They're my three older sisters.

Sisters?

So "Sensational Sisters

and a side of weak tea" means...


[angrily]

Weak tea? Are you looking for a fight?

Uh... That wasn't what I meant.

[soft laugh]

Cilan journeyed with me for a while too.

Pokémon Connoisseur!
At your service.
Hmm? What's a Pokémon Connoisseur?
I was hoping you'd ask!

Would you mind bringing out

one of your Pokémon for me?


There you go,

coming out on your own again.

A Psyduck.

I truly like a challenge,

so now it's evaluation time!

Let's see now, reviewing its vacant look
and its spicy bouquet,

its compatibility with Misty

seems perfect!

Even if one is annoyed,

the other is like quiet woods

in a gentle rain!


The perfect combination

of human being and a Pokémon!


-Delish.

-Oh, yeah.

I get the picture, all right.
Well, what a shame.

And just when I was getting warmed up

with my evaluation.

And there's one more I want you to meet.
I journeyed with Brock over there too.

-Yo.

-[gasps]

It's Brock!
You know him?
We became friends in the Johto region.

Just a little while back,

we watched your final match together!

Oh, yeah! Congrats on the win!
Hey, thanks a lot!
So, what's going on with Brock?

[Cilan] He's giving off

a massive amount of negative energy.

Please don't even ask.

[Cilan] Wait.

Could it be another heartbreak?


Can you think of anything

that would help cheer him up?

Hmm.
Oh, I know! There's a flower field nearby!

Anybody would regain their composure

with fresh flowers!


-That's it!

-Pika. Pika.

[Meowth] One Twerp sighted!

With Twerp Number Two

and the original Twerpette.

And the Connoisseur Twerp as well.

We are not missing this chance

to steal Pikachu!

Wobbuffet.
[Misty] Wow!
It's so pretty!

-Pikachu!

-[Misty chuckles]

[Ash] Check it out, Brock!
There are tons of beautiful flowers here!

[Brock] It is beautiful!

Know what else is beautiful?

Ladies are!
Beautiful ones just like...
[groans]
[Ash] Brock, pull yourself together!
Terene.
Hmm.
Hatte.
Terene.
Huh?
[exclaims]

[Kathy] Brock!

I finally realized it's you I love!

Come to me!

Yes, dear! On my way.

[laughs]

[Ash] Uh... Brock?
[Cilan] Where are you going?
Brock, come on.
[all panting]
Pika!
Up ahead.
Hatte... erene.
[all groan]

-What's going on?

-My poor head!

It's k*lling me!
[grunts]

-What's this all about?

-[Rotom Phone]
Hatterene.


The Silent Pokémon.


A Psychic and Fairy type.


Hatterene emits psychic power

that creates headaches,


forcing others to go far away.

There you are, my Kathy!
Brock, here I am! Right here! Come to me!
My... sweet...
Kathy!
[all groan]
Quick, return!
[all grunt]
[all grunt]
[all panting]

-[Ash] Brock!

-Pika.

[Misty] Brock!
I wonder where he could be...
Pikachu!

I wonder why he'd run off

and follow Hatterene in the first place.

I wonder that too.

-Pi...

-[Cilan laughs]

That's why you called me! Bien sur!
If you need a mystery solved,

then you have to call

on the Detective Connoisseur.


-And yes, 'tis I!

-Detective Connoisseur...


When there's a mystery,

I don't know of a cork I'm unable to pop!

Because it happens to be Detective Time!
More like tiresome time.

Hatterene can read the emotions

of creatures more than miles away.

And if so, then of course,

it must have picked up

on Brock's heartache!

[both] Mm-hm.

[Cilan]

So if Brock followed after Hatterene


then Hatterene used

a wave of psychic power,

and invited him to follow.
It's clear to me.
[Misty] Why would it do that?

If you'd like a hint,

look no further than Brock's bad mood

and Hatterene's nickname.
And that nickname is... The Forest Witch!
[both] The Forest Witch?

It is said that the Forest Witch

relishes negative emotions,


so it lures unhappy people

into the forest to imprison them!


-[both gasp]

-[Cilan] The Pokédex notes this!


Those who kick up a fuss

get... caught by its tentacle!


-Trapped!

-[both scream]

Isn't that a really dangerous Pokémon?
Pika. Pika.
We must do something...
We've gotta save Brock!

[Ash]
Who's that Pokémon?


-Pika?

-[Hatterene]
Hatterene.

Pika. Pika.

-[Ash] Brock!

-Pika!


-Hey, Brock?

-Where are you?

[murmurs]
Pika?
Tenna.
What is it, buddy?

-Pika.

-[all] Huh?


-Who's that?

-[Rotom Phone]
Hatenna.


The Calm Pokémon. A Psychic type.


Hatenna senses creatures' emotions

with that thing on its head,


but it only opens its heart

to calm people.

You're so cute! And you seem so gentle.

Wait. So, it senses creatures' emotions

with that thing on its head?


-[Cilan gasps]

-[Ash and Misty] Hmm?


[Cilan] Maybe we could find Brock

with Hatenna's help!


If it is able to pick up

on Brock's negative mood,

then we should be able to locate him!
That's a good idea!

Excuse me, Hatenna,

would you please help us out

so we can find our friend?
Tenna.

See, someone we know is missing

and we think he might be in trouble.

Can you help?
[murmurs]
[laughs softly, grunts]

Hmm?

[laughs]


-Did it just say yes?

-Tenna.

Thanks a lot, Hatenna!

[Cilan] Ash,

bring Brock's image up in your mind.

You bet! Here we go.
Hey, Brock...
[grunting]

-[squeals]

-Great, Hatenna!

Does that mean you sense something?
Tenna.

-I love you!

-I love you too!

Hmm. I hate you.

[grunts]

No way.


-Love you!

-I love you too!


-I hate you.

-You're kidding.


-Love you.

-I love you!


-Hate you.

-Come on now.


-Love you!

-[in Kathy's voice] I hate you.

She hates me.
[cackling]
[cackling continues]
Huh?
[panting]
Hey! Looks like it's picked something up!

-[Misty and Cilan] Mm-hm.

-Pika. Pika.

Tenna.

-[Misty] Hmm?

-A new Pokémon!

Trem-trem. Hattrem. Hat!

[chuckles]

Like a living plush toy!

It's serving up some real cuteness!
[chimes]

[Rotom Phone]
Hattrem.

The Serene Pokémon.


A Psychic type,

and the evolved form of Hatenna.

It sure looks a lot like you.
[Misty] Hmm?

[Rotom Phone]
When it comes across


anyone exuding strong emotions,

it will use its braids to b*at them up


with the strength of a pro boxer.

[all scream]
Did anyone have strong emotions?

Well, I feel pretty strongly

that we have to rescue Brock!

Oh, no.
Hattrem!

-[grunting]

-[all scream]

[screaming continues]
[grunting]
[screams, grunting]
Hattrem.
Man, rough.
And totally different from Hatenna.
Tenna.

You think you're still able to sense

Brock's mood?

[grunts]

-[Misty] Hmm?

-[panting]


-Hate...

-[Ash grunts]


-Did you get it?

-[mutters]


-Quick, let's go!

-[Misty] Right!

[grunts]
Hat...

-[stomach rumbles]

-Man.

Ash? Honestly, didn't you just eat lunch?
I get hungry when I have to walk.

-[stomach rumbles]

-Pika...


Yeah. As a Connoisseur of railways

and of rare dining car box lunches,


I'll tell you, I'd really like to try

the lunch box on the local train!

I wanna have some of my mom's croquettes.

[frustrated groan]

Grow up, you two! What's your problem...

[gasps]
[screams]
Those bugs bug me!
You see, Misty just loves Water types,
but she really can't handle Bug types.

Oh. Then what about Pokémon

who are both Water types and Bug types,

like Dewpider?
[Misty groans]
I think about that all the time...
[mutters]
Hatterene.
[Delia's voice] Ash!
Huh?

-It's Mom!

-[all] Huh?


-[laughs]

-[Cilan and Misty] Hey, Ash?

Freshly made. Have some croquettes.
Yum, yum! All right!

-Hey, Mom, wait up!

-Pika. Pi!

[Misty] Ash, where are you going?
Huh?
[squeals]

-Hey! Hold up!

-Huh?


What could've gotten

into both Ash and Misty?

Hmm? Hmm?

We have lunch,

guaranteed safe and satisfying!

Step right up to enjoy!

Wow, it's Ingo and Emmet,

the Subway Bosses!

I'm starving!

[both] Follow the rules!

Everybody smile! All aboard!

Oh? Hey! Come back!
[cackles]
[Jessie pants]
The Twerps are history! Where did they go?
How unusual. They were headed this way...

If this keeps up,

I'll never get the sweet head pat rewards


from the loving hands of the Boss!


-[stomachs rumbling]

-[all groan]

Moving up to division leadership!
Social advancement and a party!
Full tummies!

-[Team Rocket] We want food!

-Wobbuffet.


-Hatt...

-Oh, wait. Who is that Pokémon?

Hattrem!
Hattrem!

-[shouts]

-[all scream]

[Ash] Wait up, Mom! Come back!

-What's wrong?

-Pika. Pi.


[panting]

Mom?

[Delia's voice] Eat up.
[Ash screaming]

Wait, all you wonderful Water types!

[screams]

Ingo, stop! Emmet, stop!
[both] Fueled up! Full speed ahead!
One lunch box, please!
[Ash and Misty wailing]

-Pikachu!

-[electricity crackles]

[all groan]

[all] Pins and needles...

[groan]

Huh. Where's Mom and all her croquettes?

-And the Bug type Pokémon.

-The subway.


Does that mean

we've been seeing illusions?


-Huh?

-Tenna...


You woke us with your Thunderbolt,

right, Pikachu?

Hey, buddy, thanks a lot.
Pikachu.
But why did we see those illusions?

I think that maybe Hatterene is trying

to chase us out of the woods.


-You think so?

-I do...


[Cilan]
So it can trap Brock

in there for itself!

[gasps, muttters]

-Hatenna's still sensing it!

-Let's have a look!


-Pika.

-[all panting]

[all grunt]

-[all gasp]

-Pika.


-It's true!

-Let's save Brock!

Wait!

Perhaps sizing up the situation

will help us.

Could we convince Hatenna to help?

It's possible Hatenna senses

what kind of exchange is going on

between Hatterene and Brock.

The question is,

how can it communicate that to us?


-Hey, Pikachu could do it.

-Pika?

Of course! That's brilliant.

Hatenna can tell Pikachu what it senses,

and then Pikachu can just tell us!


-Tenna.

-Pikachu!


-I love you, Brock!

-Nurse Joy!

The sound of your voice revived me!
Thanks!
[chitters]
Pikachu.
Pika. Pika.
Actually, I hate you!
[screams]

-[chitters]

-Pikachu.

[both scream]

-[groans]

-Pikachu.


-Got that?

-[Ash and Misty] A little more or less.

[Cilan] Pikachu and Hatenna, thank you!

Voila!

[grunts]


And once again, 'tis I,

the Detective Connoisseur!

Ladies and gents, it's Detective Time!

I know Brock is alternating

joy and dejection


so Hatterene must be showing him

similar illusions.

In other words, Hatterene's motive is...

to bask in Brock's negative feelings

over and over again.


And in order to produce an even richer,

more full bodied negative mood...


it first gives him the ultimate joy,

then suddenly steals it away from him!

No way!

If it keeps on like this,

Brock may never get free from it.


-We've gotta save him!

-Ash!

[Ash] Brock!

-Get away from Hatterene!

-Get away from Kathy right now!

Oh, Brock! Won't you please help me?
Leave it all to me!

I won't let anyone

interfere with our love!

[both gasp]
Steelix, go!
[growls]
Hey, Brock, will you wake up?
[squeals]

-Pika.

-[grunts]

My partner!

-Pansage!

-Pansage!

Use b*llet Seed!

Pan...

[grunting]

Pikachu.
Now use Stone Edge!
[growls]
[both] Dodge it. Go!

-Tenna...

-[yelps]


-[yelping]

-Hatenna!

Hat... terene!

Look out!

[grunts]

Now!
Hatterene!
[grunts]
I'll protect Hatenna. Just watch!
Huh? Ash!
Hatterene!
[grunts]

-Hatenna!

-I've got it! First aid!

You're back...
[Brock grunts]
First, the disinfectant.
Here you go.
Hatte...
Hatterene, we have to stop this!

Brock and Hatenna

are good friends of mine!

So, please.
Pika. Pika.
...rene.
There, there, that's a good Pokémon.
[Brock] It'll be over in a jiffy.
Okay, all done.
Ha... tenna.
Rene...

The essence of anger vanished

from Hatterene completely!

Huh?
Ha... Hatterene.
Tenna.
Hatterene.
Do you think maybe it's thanking us?
Thanks so much for understanding.
Pika. Pika.
[chuckles]
[squeals]

With this, I discovered

I'm still gonna need

a lot more experience!

So I'll travel with Ash and crew

and train up my heart in the right way!

Wow! Another good friend is coming along!
That means we'll have great food!

Yeah, the meals Brock and Cilan make

are totally awesome!

As much as I appreciate the compliments...

-I'm on my own from here.

-[Ash] Huh? You're not traveling with us?

Ingo and Emmet will be holding an event

to unveil a brand new train car,

and I really have to be there!


-There'll be a new lunch box!

-Hey, really?

Then let's meet up again.
And best wishes! Take good care!
[Ash] Best wishes for a great journey!

[narrator]
Our heroes are meeting up with

and parting ways with old friends,


as the journey continues!


-[all chomping]

-So tasty!


No matter how much we eat,

we never run out of food!

[all] Isn't this the life?

But even though we're eating tons of food,

why don't I feel full?


We're having a feast,

but I'm still on empty!


-[both] This is no blast.

-Wobbuffet.
