ASH: Hey, Dawn, where are you going in such a hurry, anyway?
DAWN: To get a new application!
ASH: What's she talking about?
BROCK: Well, an application is a new feature
that Dawn can add to her Pokétch, see?
ASH: Oh!
DAWN: It makes my Pokétch lots more useful!
I've just got to have it!
DAWN: Excuse me! On my way into town,
I got this ticket for a new Pokétch application,
so can you help me, Nurse Joy?
NURSE JOY: I'm sorry, that isn't for here!
They're giving them away at the Pokémon Center
on the other side of the woods!
ASH: All that running for nothing!
NURSE JOY: And, that giveaway is over at this afternoon, too.
BROCK: Tough break, although there's no end to the giveaways
when it comes down to my love for you, Nurse Joy!
CROAGUNK: [SURPRISED]
DAWN: Thanks, Nurse Joy! See you later!
ASH: Bye, Nurse Joy! Thanks!
CROAGUNK: [CROAKING]
NARRATOR: There's nothing like brand-new technology
to get people rushing off to upgrade to the latest
in cutting-edge advancements, and our heroes are no different!
It looks like Hearthome City will have to wait a bit longer!
JAMES: You three sure look in a huge hurry!
ASH: What makes you think that?
DAWN: You're right, which means we've got no time to talk!
JESSIE: Well, if you stopped talking, you'd realize
you could take a shortcut right through this cave here!
DAWN: Really?
JAMES: True, though at cave's end
there is a bit of a maze to deal with.
JAMES: Although, with the aid of this map,
said maze may be most conveniently managed!
BROCK: Wow! What a convenient map!
DAWN: We'll take it, thanks!
JAMES: Voila! And because you're our ,st customer,
it's all yours as our free gift to you!
DAWN: This is my lucky day! Thanks!
JESSIE: Wait just a minute. Being our ,st customer
carries great responsibility, and we'll need to take a
photograph of you and all your Pokémon for posterity!
DAWN: Remember, we're really in a rush.
JESSIE: Oh, but we'll have everything we need in no time!
DAWN: Excuse me, can we get this over quickly?
It's almost :, you know!
MEOWTH: I'm trying to figure out how to frame you Twerps.
I mean guys!
I think we should go with putting all the Pokémon
smack in the middle, with the two boys
- and the girl on the ends! - DAWN: Hurry, please!
MEOWTH: Hey, Pikachu!
MEOWTH: Why don't you jump down
and be part of your batch of Pokémon buddies?
PIKACHU: [RESIGNED]
MEOWTH: Yeah, that's getting groovy!
But it's going to be all that much better if you Pokémon
in the middle all scrunch in even closer like!
POKEMON: [ANNOYED]
MEOWTH: Perfecto!
Now you all just give me a big cheesy smile for the camera!
JESSIE: Once this cage has corralled those
clueless chumpsters, we'll be good to go!
JAMES: And they without a clue!
MEOWTH: Lots of teeth. What's this, rush hour?
DAWN: What's that?
ASH: I don't know, but look out!
MEOWTH: Yipes!
MEOWTH: This always happens in a photo sh**t.
JAMES: The whole community of Rock types
certainly has expanded!
JESSIE: Great, which means our community of Twerp Pokémon
is expanding as well!
Which includes a certain Pikachu.
JAMES: Ooh, listen to you!
DAWN: Man, I sure wish I could read this map better.
DAWN: Where am I, anyway?
DAWN: Ash? That you?
DAWN: Hello? Come on.
ASH: Great. Dawn's got the map. okay, now which way do I go?
ASH: Right, that way, Pikachu!
ASH: Wow, we found the exit already!
PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]
ASH: Is that Paul?! Paul!
ASH, PIKACHU: [SCARED]
ASH: When they said "maze," they weren't kidding!
FEAROW: [CALLING]
ASH: Hey, Paul!
Have you seen Brock and Dawn around here?
- PAUL: No. Should I? - ASH: So where is everybody?
Maybe they all got stuck in the maze!
DAWN: No need to worry!
ASH: That's when I worry the most!
ASH: Quick, Pikachu, we've got to find everyone!
PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]
FEAROW: [CALLING]
ASH: Don't worry, Dawn and Brock, I'm coming to save you!
PIKACHU: [CALLING]
JAMES: And the Twerps come rolling in!
MEOWTH: Hope it's fun futzing with that fake map!
Here's the real deal!
JAMES: We'll breeze through that maze just like the wind!
JESSIE: And catch Pikachu 'round the bend!
MEOWTH: Ah yes, a Twerp and his Pokémon are soon separated!
JESSIE: Up!
ASH: Dawn! Brock! Hey, guys! Where are you?
JAMES: And down!
PIKACHU: [CONFUSED]
MEOWTH: Now they'll get separation anxiety!
JESSIE: Good! Better them than us!
PIKACHU: [URGENT]
JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Earthquake?
MEOWTH: Quick! Time to save face!
MEOWTH: Look, suckers,
Team Rocket never makes the same mistake twice!
JAMES: Why do that when you can make it a million times?
JESSIE: Those Golem weren't out rocking
and rolling just for nothing.
JAMES: True! I'll wager I know why.
JAMES: You see?
ONIX: [ANGRY]
MEOWTH: They were just trying to save
their stony skins from that Onix!
JESSIE: May I suggest we try and do the same?
ONIX: [att*ck]
JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: We're blasting off again!
JESSIE: But this is only Act One!
FEAROW: [CALLING]
DAWN: We finally found the exit, Croagunk.
CROAGUNK: [CROAKING]
DAWN: Now, we'd better get to the Pokémon Center!
FEAROW: [CALLING]
DAWN: Paul!
DAWN: Have you seen Ash or Brock anywhere?
PAUL: Not you, too!
DAWN: Pardon me for living. Bye! Let's go.
CROAGUNK: [CROAKING]
BROCK: Hey, Paul!
BROCK: Have you seen Ash or Dawn?
PAUL: No! I haven't!
BROCK: That's weird. Wonder what's eating him?
BROCK: Being all split up like this. I'm getting worried!
BROCK: How am I going to find them all in a maze?
STARAVIA: [CALLING]

can we all be nice?

DAWN: But Brock, where's Ash?
BROCK: We haven't found him just yet. Staravia!
Go up and check it out one more time!
STARAVIA: [SHOCKED] BROCK: What?
STARAVIA: [SCARED] BROCK: Staravia!
JESSIE: Is that a Twerp calling out to implore?
JAMES: I think we should catch who we came for!
- JESSIE: Pikachu? - JAMES: It's true!
MEOWTH: Time to score!
JESSIE: We've had such a rough day!

MIME JR.: [MIMICKING]
STARAVIA: [SCARED]
DAWN: Staravia, no!
JAMES: It's amazing how lame you are!
MEOWTH: Since you're stuck, I'm sure you ain't going far!
JESSIE: What do you say we get to padding
our Pokémon portfolio?
MEOWTH, JAMES: Let's go!
BROCK: Watch out, guys! Here it comes!
JAMES: We missed!
JESSIE: Don't get your hair in a heap!
We'll simply circle around and then bam! Whammo!
MEOWTH: Away we go!
BROCK: Great work, Pikachu!
BROCK: It's hard to see because of all these high walls,
but I have a feeling Ash is much closer to us than we think!
DAWN: Hello, Ash! Where are you?
DAWN: If you can hear me, say something!
BROCK: Let us know where you are!
ASH: Whoa, it's the guys! They sound real close!
- Hey! I'm over here! - DAWN: Ash! Is that you?
ASH: Yeah! And Piplup, Buizel, Pachirisu, and Sudowoodo!
DAWN: Finally!
BROCK: The trick is to get over this wall!
MEOWTH: It looks like those Twerps are all bunched up
like a bag full of bananas!
JESSIE: I do suggest we crush the rock for the block,
so they can't be going-going-gone!
MEOWTH: Right on!
STARAVIA: [CALLING]
ASH: Staravia! Hey, give back my Staravia!
JESSIE: Not today-via!
ASH: Oh no! Now how do we get through?
ASH: It's not funny! All right, I need your help!

ASH: But don't hit Staravia, got it? Just the balloon!
SUDOWOODO: [DETERMINED]

Sonic Boom, let's go!

and help me cheer them on, okay?
ASH: Now, Pachirisu, Discharge!
SUDOWOODO: [MIMIC MOVE]
PACHIRISU: [DISCHARGE MOVE]
JAMES: Aimed like a Twerp!
JESSIE: Good sh*t! With enemies like you, who needs friends?
JESSIE: Buh-bye!
DAWN: Ash! What's wrong? Are you all okay? What happened?
DAWN: They're just a few inches away,
and we can't do a thing!
BROCK: Wait, Dawn. The walls in this maze are surprisingly thin!
Maybe we could use a move of some kind
- and break right through them! - DAWN: That's it!
DAWN: Hey, Ash, did you hear that?
ASH: Yeah! We're gonna give it a sh*t from this side, too!
BROCK: Great!
DAWN: We'll need everybody's help!
BROCK: Pikachu, you take care of Team Rocket!
BUNEARY: [ADMIRING]
BROCK: Ash, aim right here! Focus on this one spot!
- ASH: Right! Got it! - DAWN: All right, Ash,
I'm going to freeze the wall with Buneary's Ice Beam.
That should help!
BROCK: Then we'll pound on the wall,
using Croagunk's Brick Break,
along with Aipom's Swift and Turtwig's Razor Leaf, too!
ASH: All right, let's give this one more try!
ASH: Pachirisu, maybe you should sit this one out.
DAWN: All right, Buneary, Ice Beam, let's go!
BUNEARY: [ICE BEAM MOVE]
ASH: Do it!
SUDOWOODO: [MIMICKING]
PIPLUP: [BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]
BUIZEL: [WATER g*n MOVE]

AIPOM: [SWIFT MOVE]
TURTWIG: [RAZOR LEAF MOVE]
CROAGUNK: [BRICK BREAK MOVE]
HAPPINY: [EXCITED]
BROCK: Happiny!
DAWN: Your super strength sure comes in handy
when your friends are in trouble!
HAPPINY: [PLEASED]
JESSIE: Don't forget your friends from the dark side!
JESSIE: We turn our backs for one second, and now this!
JAMES: I think they're attempting to
break a hole in the wall!
MEOWTH: I wouldn't bet the ranch!
Even their Twerpy heads aren't as hard as those walls!
PIPLUP: [BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]
BUIZEL: [WATER g*n MOVE]
AIPOM: [SWIFT MOVE]
TURTWIG: [RAZOR LEAF MOVE]
CROAGUNK: [BRICK BREAK MOVE]
ASH: Keep it up!

BROCK: All right, almost there.
DAWN: Keep going!
AIPOM: [SWIFT MOVE]
TURTWIG: [RAZOR LEAF MOVE]
CROAGUNK: [BRICK BREAK MOVE]
- ASH: Hey, we're through! - BROCK: There you are!
DAWN: Come on! Hurry!
ASH: Thanks, guys! You saved us!
JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: What?!
JAMES: Didn't your parents teach you
not to break other people's property?
JESSIE: Get it in gear, Meowth, or I'll have to break you!
MEOWTH: Rightie-ooh!
PIKACHU: [EXCITED]
JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: What a welcome!
ASH: Iron Tail!
PIKACHU: [IRON TAIL MOVE]
STARAVIA: [EXCITED]
ASH: Now, Pikachu, Thunderbolt!
PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]
JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Looks like the maze craze
has seen its last days!
ASH: With this team, we can do anything we need to!
POKEMON: [TRIUMPHANT]
DAWN: All right! Yeah! What an application!
DAWN: I got Coin Toss!
ASH: Sounds cool! Wow!
BROCK: Coin Toss may be cool,
but I have other cool things in mind.
BROCK: Like falling down!
CROAGUNK: [CROAKING]
DAWN, ASH, BROCK: Hmm.
ASH: Dawn, let's use Coin Toss
to decide which way we should go!
DAWN: Good idea, Ash! Heads we go right, tails we go left.
Let 'er rip!
ASH: It's tails!
BROCK: You sure that's such a good idea?
DAWN, ASH: No need to worry, Brock!
NARRATOR: And so, a slight detour to upgrade Dawn's Pokétch
has shown our heroes just what a great team they've all become!
Then, with a quick Coin Toss for good luck,
it's off once again on the road to Hearthome City!
