01x02 - What’s on Your Mind, Psyduck?

[bunniefuu]

[distant chirping]

[squawks]

[loud thud]

Are those two fighting?

[Haru] Please excuse me!

You're all supposed to get along here!

[both grumbling]

What's that? You're just playing?

Aw, I was fooled
by those scary faces of yours.

-Uh, Furret? You're at this chase again?
-[Furret chittering]

You know it's wrong.
You two should be friends.

-[chittering]
-Just wait a sec!

Be good, okay?

[grunting]

[sneezing]

Hold on!

Furret! Rattata!

[whimpers]

-[Pokémon squeaking]
-[Haru] Ohh!

[grumbles]

[Haru] Here. No.
[grunts]

What if I do this? Or maybe over here?

[Alisa] What is she doing?

Tryin' to get a signal on her cell phone.
[scoffs]

She wants to look up things
about Pokémon, she said.

[chuckles]

The reception here is real bad.

[Tyler] It's more like cell phones
are totally useless.

I did things like that
when I first got here too.

-I gave it up by day three.
-Mm-hm.

Poor Haru. I totally get it.

No luck here either, huh?

Oh, man.

I was told that my job is to show
the Pokémon a good time,

but I have no idea
what I'm supposed to do.

[Watanabe] Before the sun sets,

I want you to make that Pokémon feel
the exact same way you do.

Ms. Watanabe has such a sweet face

for someone who's asking me
to do an impossible thing.

[whines]

[confused mumbling]

[Haru] What am I gonna do?

[playful music]

-[chitters]
-[chuckles]

Hm, hm...

Hm?

[whines]

[Alisa] What's with the look of doom?

[Haru] Well, it's not really
anything important.

[Mudkip chittering]

[Haru] And may I say,
you're a great artist, Ms. Alisa.

[Alisa] Eh, anybody can do art.

But stop with the "May I, Ms." stuff.

But you outrank me.

That doesn't matter.

Here. Take it.

Uh, you want me to...

[gasps]

So, you're still stuck wondering
what you're supposed to be doing?

I want to make sure
the Pokémon have a good time here,

but nothing I try seems to work out.

You know, all you can do is find out
what makes them happy and make it happen.

Yeah, but the Pokémon don't
exactly tell you what makes them happy.

Well, most humans won't say it
to your face either.

-They say things like, "Take a guess."
-Huh?

That's true.

Hey, is that a Psyduck?
That's so cool, you like that Pokémon?

Uh, no... Well, yeah.

[Haru] It's actually supposed
to be a Pikachu.

Still, it's only fun
if you find out yourself.

-Hm?
-[chitters]

-[Haru shouts]
-[crashes]

[Alisa chuckles]
Oh.

[Alisa sighs]
You really went for it, huh?

I guess you don't really get the chance
to fly free in the big city, do you?

-You were just letting off some steam.
-[trilling]

[Alisa] Don't worry
about those doodles of ours.

The important thing is to play
where there's lots of space.

And that way, nobody can get hurt!

[Pidgeot squawks]

Well... Pokémon are
pretty unpredictable, you know?

-Yeah.
-[chitters]

[both chittering]

[groans]

-Oh.
-[Tyler grunts]

So, if you could give me any advice or...

Hmm...

The early days are always hard.
So you should just do what you can, right?

Is there anything specific
that you think I should be doing?

[chuckles]
Hey, don't ask me!

[groans]

Huh?

[playful music]

-Tyler, what's with that one?
-Hm?

Oh, you mean Psyduck?

[Tyler] Ms. Watanabe
has been taking care of it.

It's been here about two weeks.

But it's super shy,
so it hasn't really made any connections.

-I don't think it's having fun.
-Hm?

Right then! Psyduck, I choose you!

[cheerful music]

[distant chirping]

-[Haru] Hey! Psyduck!
-[leaves rustle]

Psyduck?

Hmm? Hmm?

[leaves rustle]

Psyduck!

-[leaves rustle]
-Psyduck!

Come on, Psyduck!

Hm, bring it on.

-[guests chattering]
-[Pokémon chittering]

Hmm, Psyduck is "constantly wracked
by a headache."

Aw, poor thing.

[Haru] "When the headache turns intense,
it begins using mysterious powers."

"The way to control
its psychic powers is..."

[clinking]

[Haru] Huh?

[candies rattle]

What's going on?

Huh? Paranormal activity?

-Aah!
-[Psyduck groaning]

-Huh? Aah!
-[rattles]

-[Pokémon exclaim]
-[Haru gasps]

[Haru] Whoa!

Psyduck... Its psychic powers
are out of control!

[chomping]

Hey! Where'd you go?

You're not in trouble, so please come out.

Huh! There!

[action music]

Huh?
[yelps]

Tyler, look out!

[whimpers]

[scooter crashes]

[Tyler] Oh, no.

[Haru grunting]

Are you okay?

I... I'm sorry!

What were you doing? What was the hurry?

I was chasing after Psyduck when Diglett
suddenly appeared in front of me.

And I tried to swerve to avoid it,
but the scooter went out of control.

-And then, boom!
-Come on, everything's fine.

-Yeah, but was that...
-[Tyler chuckles]

[Tyler] It was filling
for the pies I'm making for dessert,

but I can use the berries over there
to make more.

Pansear and its pals
should be picking them now.

Oh, then I'll carry them to you.

Oh, okay.

Hey, wait! At least take the cart!

Or not?

[Pokémon chittering]

Thanks for all your help!
Pansage, Pansear, Panpour.

But even so, I wonder
where Psyduck went off to?

-[clatters]
-Huh?

[Haru] Huh? Oh...

Oh, come on.

-[thuds]
-[grunts]

[yelps]

Oh, no!

[suspenseful music]

[Haru panting]

-Huh?
-[Psyduck groaning]

[Haru sighs in relief]

-You saved the day!
-[Psyduck gasps]

I'm so happy
you were here to help me, Psyduck.

[quacking]

Psyduck, you don't have to run.

No one here is mad, you know?

[whines]

Is it possible you're worried
about your psychic powers?

[squawks]

When you get a headache,
your psychic powers become active, right?

[Haru] I wonder if there's a way
we can keep your powers from going wild.

[squawks]

See? You're spraying
all your water at once.

[Alisa] If you let out
just a little at a time,

the flowers won't get knocked over.

[Mudkip chitters]

If you want to control it,

then try letting out
a little at a time, Psyduck.

[squawks in wonder]

If you use your powers a little
on purpose, it might help with the pain.

[squawks]

[humming]

[Haru] Hey, Tyler!

-Huh? Oh!
-Hi!

So she caught up with you, huh, Psyduck?

[chitters, groans]

[Tyler] Dude! It split the berry in half!

-Way to go, Psyduck!
-[Pokémon cheer]

Right! Let's try some more, okay?

[groaning]

-[man] Whoa!
-[boy] Dad!

Whoa! No, no! The crate! The crate!

-[boy] Dad!
-Sorry.

[grunting]

[groaning]

[whimpering]

Psyduck, please! Let me down!

[uplifting music]

[wind howling]

-[Psyduck groaning]
-[Haru whimpering]

Nice move, Psyduck.

[laughing]

[squawks in surprise]

[gasps, groaning]

[Haru gasps]
Thank you.

The lids on these tins
are so hard to open.

This kind of candy comes in
all these different cute colors.

They kind of remind me of Pokémon.

See, this one is Hoppip.

This is Mudkip. Here's Bulbasaur.

And the yellow one is Pika...

-No, I mean, it's Psyduck!
-[squawks]

When I was a little kid, it was my dream
to eat as much candy as I wanted

the minute I grew up.

It's nice how much freedom adults have.

Hey, Psyduck, can you toss
some candy up using your powers?

[rattles]

Here, like this.

[chomps]
Uh-huh.

[groaning]

[munching]
Wow, you're super good at this!

-[Psyduck groaning]
-[chomping]

Whoa, whoa! Slow down!
I can't eat that many!

[gasps]

-Psyduck.
-[squawks]

So, were you having fun just now?

[murmurs in delight]

Aw, Psyduck!

-[squawks]
-Hey.

[Haru] I wish to have fun
with the Pokémon tomorrow too.
