BUNEARY: [WORRIED]

ASH: This time for sure Dawn! Go for it!

DAWN: I'm so psyched.Here we go!

ASH: Hold on! You gotta make your Poké Ball bigger first!

ASH: You'd better hurry! It'll get away.

DAWN: All right! I'm ready NOW!

DAWN: Let's go - Poké Ball!

DAWN: Oops! Sorry!

ASH: Watch where you throw that thing!

DAWN: It was an accident!

DAWN: If you hadn't been yelling at me my hand

wouldn't have slipped!

ASH: You weren't doing it right!

DAWN: Look, don't you get nasty with ME!

ASH: Just get it together and I won't have to!

BUNEARY: [EXERTION] PIPLUP: [CALLING] / [UPSET]

DAWNASH: Noo! Buneary!

DAWN: Well I hope you're happy now!

ASH: Don't look at me!

DAWN: Why not? It's your fault!

ASH: Your yapping scared Buneary away, you know.

NARRATOR: Any new journey has bumps in the road.

NARRATOR: The question for our heroes seems a

simple one though.

NARRATOR: Is this a small bump in the road

or a massive POTHOLE?

DAWN: Just great!

DAWN: I could have a Buneary.if it weren't for a

certain big mouth.

ASH: Oh yeah? I could get me a Buneary

- in spite of your BIG MOUTH! - DAWN: Next time, butt out!

ASH: That's if there is a next time.

DAWN: I'm catching lots of Pokémon!

ASH: You won't if you keep doing stupid stuff!

DAWN: Are you calling me stupid?

ASH: No, but I'm thinking about it now!

DAWN: How can you think without a brain?

ASH: You tell jokes as good as you catch POKEMON!!

BROCK: You're both hurting my ears!

PIKACHU: [STARTLED]

- ASH: What's that? - DAWN: Pretty!

BROCK: That's called a Sunny Day!

ASH: Sunny Day?

BROCK: It's a Fire - type move.

Fire - types use it to temporarily raise their power!

DAWN: All of a sudden I feel so much happier!

BUDEW: [GREETING]

- ASH: Who's that? - DAWN: So cute!

ASH'S POKEDEX: Budew. The Bud Pokémon.

In winter it keeps its bud closed to survive the cold,

but then opens it again in the spring.

BROCK: I wonder if this is where that Sunny Day came from.

- NANDO: It was. - ASH, BROCK: [SURPRISED]

NANDO: Hardened words - but reflect hardened hearts...

Let the Sunny Day soften yours!

NANDO: For when your heart is light - your mood is happy and

bright! Tell me.Don't you feel better now?

ASH DAWN: Huh! Yeah, you're right!

NANDO: As it should be.

ASH: Thanks! I'm Ash.

PIKACHU: [GREETING] DAWN: And my name's Dawn!

BROCK: Hi! I'm Brock!

NANDO: And I am the Pokémon bard, Nando.This is my Budew.

NANDO: We travel the world bringing joy to all!

ASH: Awesome.

BROCK: You must have a great time!

DAWN: Hey, I've got it Ash!

Now I can show you how strong I've gotten!

- ASH: How? - DAWN: Nando?

Would you mind battling with me?

NANDO: If that pleases you.

BUDEW: [HAPPY]

ASH: Don't forget this'd be your very first battle

- with a trainer. - DAWN: Don't worry about me!

I'll be fine!

NANDO: Dawn, are you by any chance on a quest to win

the Sinnoh League?

DAWN: No - I'm on a quest to win the Grand Festival!

NANDO: I see. Then a Contest battle it is. There's a clearing

up ahead that will be perfect for our needs.

DAWN: Great!

JAMES: That's the new Twerp!

MEOWTH: Yeah - she's the punk that sprang Pikachu!

JESSIE: Thinking she can win Contests takes some nerve.

- JAMES: Like you? - MEOWTH: Snap out of it.

JESSIE: Hey, I'll snap YOU!

JESSIE: Only one diva wins the next Contest - this one!

JAMES,MEOWTH: Diva's right. WOBBUFFET: [ANNOYED]

MIME JR: [ANNOYED]

DAWN: 'Kay, t things first!

My Pokémon has to make a gorgeous entrance!

DAWN: All right then Piplup - spotlight!

PIPLUP: [APPEARING]

NANDO: You may have the first att*ck!

DAWN: Thanks! We're fighting a Grass - type

so let's do a Flying - type att*ck.

DAWN: Piplup! Use Peck, let's GO!

PIPLUP: [PECK MOVE]

NANDO: Please, dodge it.

BUDEW: [AFFIRMATIVE]

PIPLUP: [STARTLED] DAWN: What happened?

- ASH: That's fast! - NANDO: Please, b*llet Seed.

BUDEW: [b*llet SEED MOVE]

BROCK: b*llet Seed's a Grass - type move which could give a

Water - type like Piplup big problems!

DAWN: Dodge it, Piplup!

PIPLUP: [AFFIRMATIVE]

PIPLUP: [EXERTION] / [DETERMINED]

DAWN: All right - my turn! Piplup! Use Bubble Beam!

PIPLUP: [BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

BUDEW: [STARTLED]

DAWN: All right! BUDEW: [HAPPY]

BUDEW: [HAPPY]

DAWN: But how? That was a direct hit!

ASH: It wasn't that strong! Water - types don't do that much

against Grass - types!

BROCK: Budew absorbed the att*ck on purpose

and then made that big jump!

BROCK: Brilliant! It even used the smoke from the expl*si*n!

NANDO: Solar Beam, if you please.

BUDEW: [CHARGING]

DAWN: I know it takes time for Solar Beam to fire.

DAWN: Piplup! Use Peck, NOW!

PIPLUP: [PECK MOVE]

DAWNPIPLUP: Uh oh![SHOCKED] NANDO: Please fire now.

BUDEW: [SOLAR BEAM MOVE]

DAWN: NO Piplup! PIPLUP: [PAINED]

PIPLUP: [PAINED] / [DAZED]

DAWN: Piplup! My Piplup!

NANDO: It appears our battle is over.

BUDEW: [CONTENT]

DAWN: But, how did they do Solar Beam so fast?

BROCK: It must've been from their Sunny Day...

BROCK: .and the sunlight getting much stronger from it!

DAWN: I see... I'm so sorry, Piplup!

PIPLUP: [REASSURING] NANDO: Dawn?

NANDO: I wouldn't've guessed it was your first battle,

you were so good.

DAWN: Wow, that's such a nice to thing to say. Thank you!

BROCK: You can be sure it was good experience.

Those two really know how to battle!

ASH: Yeah, no doubt! It'll help you get a lot stronger!

DAWN: Yeah!

PIPLUP: [HAPPY] NANDO: I'm off. Best of luck!

JESSIE: Oh please.

JESSIE: Now that was a laugh! She's a Twerp all right.

I could out - whoop that wimp with my eyes closed!

JAMES: Then just do it!

MEOWTH: Talk the talk - walk the WALK!

JESSIE: In good time.

JESSIE: But first, there's a Pikachu that needs nabbing.

DAWN: Man.I can't catch a Pokémon and I can't

win a battle!

ASH: Hey chill out! Have a nice dinner,

get a good night's sleep, and you'll be fine TOMORROW!

PIKACHU: [ENCOURAGING] DAWN: Good night's sleep?

How do you get that without a bed?

BROCK: Hey, look! There's a Pokémon Center

not far from here!

DAWN: Really? Hooray! A real bed in a real room!

I can join civilization again!

BROCK: All right.Bonsly, let's GO!

BONSLY: [APPEARING]

BROCK: Bonsly? We're going to a Pokémon Center

and you're going to get checked out by Nurse Joy!

BONSLY: [PLEASED] DAWN: So that's a Bonsly.

DAWN'S POKEDEX: Bonsly. The Bonsai Pokémon. Being a Rock

type, it can get weak if its body contains too much water,

so it secretes that water from both sides of its

body to regulate it.

ASH: So did you bring your other Pokémon too?

BROCK: Nope! My brothers and sisters are watching them all

- for me back at the Pewter Gym! - DAWN: What? Gym?

ASH: Oh, yeah! The Gym back in Pewter City.

Brock's familylives there and Brock was the Gym Leader!

DAWN: You were? Awesome!

BROCK: Ah, good evening, Nurse Joy!

NURSE JOY: Good evening! Welcome to the Pokémon Center!

DAWN: Hold on! Are you from Sandgem Town?

NURSE JOY: Not me. The Nurse Joy from Sandgem town is my sister!

- DAWN: Sister? Really? - BROCK: See?

DAWN: You mean there's that many Nurse Joys?

BROCK: Isn't it great? All Nurse Joys are related!

- Every gorgeous one! - DAWN: Wow! You like that.

BROCK: My dear!

BROCK: Although all of you are beautiful,

your beauty stands out!

DAWN: But wait! Brock was acting the exact same way

with Officer Jenny! What's up with that?

ASH: Yeah! There's a question with no answer.

PIKACHU: [AMUSED]

JOHANNA:I certainly appreciate you looking after my Dawn!

JOHANNA:I realize of course that she can sometimes

be a handful.

ASHBROCK: Oh no!

DAWN: Come on Mom! There's nothing to worry about!

JOHANNA:When you tell me there's nothing to worry about

then that's when I worry the most!

GLAMEOW: [AGREEING]

JOHANNA: Don't forget I'm counting on you two.

ASH BROCK: We won't!

JOHANNA:Then, you all have a great time!

Ash, lots of luck inall of your gym battles!

DAWN: My mom - what a mom.

NURSE JOY: Oh Ash, by the way - have you registered for the

- Sinnoh League? You'll need to. - ASH: Not yet!

PIKACHU: [WORRIED] DAWN: Not yet is right.

NURSE JOY: Otherwise you won't be able to compete!

Now, let's see here. Ash Ketchum, from Pallet Town.

NURSE JOY: That's all there is to it! Here.You're all set and

- ready to roll! - ASH: Thanks, Nurse Joy!

DAWN: Can I register for Pokémon Contests here?

I'm a Coordinator.

NURSE JOY: You need to do that at the arena.

You can get passes there as well!

- DAWN: Great, thank you! - TRAINER A: Nurse Joy!

TRAINER A: Hey we're back! Would you take care of our Pokémon?

DAWN: Wow! Chimchar, Turtwig! And would you look at THAT?

DAWN: A Prinplup! Doesn't it evolve from Piplup?

TRAINER C: Right! It just evolved yesterday.

DAWN'S POKEDEX: Prinplup. The Penguin Pokémon and the evolved

form of Piplup. A strike from its wings can be harmful,

as it searches the oceans for prey.

- DAWN: Wow! - NANDO: Well.Dawn!

DAWN: Nando! What a surprise!

NANDO: Yes it is. A pleasant one.

NURSE JOY: Here you go! Your Budew is feeling percent!

NANDO: I am in your debt.

DAWN: Are you staying at the Center too?

NANDO: No, there are several things

I need to ponder elsewhere.

NANDO: And so.good evening.

ASH: What's he pondering.?

NURSE JOY: Nando divides his interests equally between Gym

Battles and Contests...

NURSE JOY: .I think he's trying to decide between the two!

ASH: Yeah? With a strong Budew like his he should always

choose Gym battles!

DAWN: No way! It's Contests!

He sure knew how to show off his Budew!

ASH: The Gym's the way!

DAWN: He should choose Contests!

- ASH: The Gyms! - DAWN: Contests!

- ASH: The Gyms! - DAWN: Contests!

ASH: Maybe we should just let Nando decide for himself!

DAWN: That's fine!

BROCK: Here we go! Dear Nurse Joy! Until we meet again.Away!

NURSE JOY: Goodbye! Good luck.

ASH: Nobody's here.

DAWN: That's weird.Wonder where Nando went?

STARLY: [GREETING]

ASH: Hey! Did you see Nando, Starly?

STARLY: [NEGATIVE RESPONSE]

BROCK: If he was here Starly would've seen him.

ASH: Thanks for looking. Starly, return!

STARLY: [APOLOGETIC]

ASH: Sorry Dawn.we're going to have to camp out here.

DAWN: What? We're not going back to the Pokémon Center?

ASH: By the time we get there the sun'll be up!

DAWN: Yeah...Guess you're right.

BROCK: You always do this!

BROCK: You go running off without once thinking what the

consequences might be.

- ASH,DAWN: Right. - JESSIE: Worry NOT!

JESSIE: We've got hots and a cot!

JAMES: What you need is what we've got!

JESSIEJAMES: The Rickety Roof INN!

ASH: An inn in the forest?

PIKACHU: [SHOCKED] JESSIE: You see we love consumers.

It's people we can't stand!

JAMES: But, since you fit neither category

you can stay for free!

BROCK: Well it is late.and they seem so nice!

ASHDAWN: Yeah!

JESSIE,JAMES: Nice isn't the word!

MEOWTH: And look!

MEOWTH: Check out this custom - fitted case

PIKACHU: [AMAZED]

JESSIE,JAMES,MEOWTH: When it comes to our customers

we move mountains!

JESSIE,JAMES,MEOWTH: Or walls.

JESSIE: You were supposed to build a hotel

not a back lot movie set!

MEOWTH: Let's see what you build with two bucks.

ASH,BROCK,PIKACHU: Team Rocket!

JESSIE: Twerps!

JAMES: Twerps! We can name call just as well as you can.

MEOWTH: In your ear!

JESSIE: Bringing chaos at a break - neck pace!

JAMES: Dashing hope, putting fear in its place!

JESSIE: A rose by any other name's just as sweet.

JESSIE JAMES: FACE! WOBBUFFET: [PROUD]

MIME JR: [EXCITED]

DAWN: Why do you keep chasing Pikachu?

JESSIE: Why are you a twerp?

JAMES: Carnivine! Time to come out and play!

CARNIVINE: [APPEARING] / [CHEWING]

JAMES: No! Time to play, not time to bite!

ASH: What's that?

BROCK: They must have a new Pokémon!

ASH'S POKEDEX: Carnivine. The Bug Catcher Pokémon. It uses its

sweet smelling saliva to catch its prey.

DAWN: Guys - leave this to me! Piplup! Use Bubble Beam!

PIPLUP: [APPEARING]/ [BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

CARNIVINE: [CHEWING]

PIPLUP: [SHOCKED]

DAWN: The Bubble Beam's gone!

BROCK: Water - type att*cks don't have that much of an

effect on Grass - types like Carnivine!

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

BUDEW: [PLEASED]

NANDO: Such a shame.

NANDO: I was having such a pleasant evening

before they showed up...

NANDO: I trust you're all right?

ASH,BROCK,DAWN: We're fine!

DAWN: Thanks to you for helping us.

ASH: You know.We actually came out here looking for you!

NANDO: Me? Why?

NANDO: You're correct. I'm feeling torn choosing between

Contests, or - Gym battles...

ASH: But Budew's so strong - just perfect for the Gym!

DAWN: No way! Budew's moves were made for Contests!

NANDO: If I enter the Sinnoh League - I need to win battles

in each of Gym locations which gives me badges.

NANDO: On the other hand, in order to appear in the Grand

Festival I have to win a Contest in each of arenas,

which will give me ribbons!

ASH: Sounds to me like the Gym's your best bet!

DAWN: Sounds to me like the Contests are the

- way you should go! - ASH: Gym battles!

- DAWN: No, Contests! - ASH: Battles!

DAWN: No, CONTESTS!

DAWN: Yeah! I'm sorry, Ash.

DAWN: All the complaining I've done.

DAWN: I guess.things haven't been going so good for me and

I've been taking it all out on you!

ASH: You know, I haven't exactly been Mister Nice.

DAWN: I promise I'll do a whole lot better!

ASH: Yeah, me too!

ASH: You know, right around when I left Pallet Town, I saw a

flying Pokémon that was glowing like a rainbow!

ASH: I'm sure it was a Ho-Oh!

ASH: It was like nothing I'd ever seen before.

- DAWN: Maybe that's what I saw. - ASH: Really?

DAWN: Back at Lake Verity.!

DAWN: Think of the Pokémon out there.There are so many

wonderful and strange!

to see the forest's song allows it to be

a gift for you, and me.

NANDO: Let our hearts be grateful that the mysterious

world of night Pokémon shows itself - ever so selflessly!

NANDO: I finally know what I must do!

ASH: You're going to try the Sinnoh League aren't you?

DAWN: You're going for the Grand Festival right?

NANDO: I've decided to do both.

NANDO: I enjoyed battling you two so much, I wouldn't dream

of giving up on either one of them!

NANDO: And so for now, I bid you farewell 'til we'll meet again!

- ASH DAWN: Sounds great! - ASH: 'Til we meet again.
