NARRATOR: As Ash's next Gym battle
and Dawn's next Pokémon Contest pull our heroes closer to
Hearthome City, their joyous excitement builds as well!
BROCK: Okay, here's where we are now and here's Hearthome City!
ASH: Awesome! So it's just a couple more days!
BROCK: You've got it!
ASH: Wow, I can't wait to get into that Gym!
ASH: Hey, Dawn! We're real close to Hearthome City!
DAWN: Yeah! I heard you! Piplup? Buizel?
DAWN: Get ready, guys We're going to win our second ribbon!
MIRA: Piplup and Buizel I could use them!
Sandshrew's Locker!
MIRA: Hi there! Uh, in case you happen to be going
to Hearthome City I can tell you about a great shortcut!
- ASH: Wow, that'd be great! - BROCK: It'd be a big help!
DAWN: That's so nice of you!
MIRA: Sure! And by the way, my name is Mira!
ASH: Hi! I'm Ash!
- DAWN: And my name's Dawn! - BROCK: Hi, I'm Brock!
ASH: So tell us about that shortcut, okay?
MIRA: Relax! Hold on a sec! Abra! Come on out!
ABRA: [APPEARING]
BROCK: What a great-looking Abra!
DAWN: I've got to check this out!
POKEDEX: Abra. The Psi Pokémon.
When Abra senses an imminent att*ck,
it escapes by teleporting.
DAWN: Wow, a Psychic type!
ASH: Hold on, Mirawhat's Abra got to do with that shortcut?
MIRA: Relax, Ash! You just hang on to Abra when it teleports.
MIRA: And you'll be in Hearthome City, just like that!
BROCK: Wow, your Abra can teleport all of us?
MIRA: It's the result of lots of special training!
Okay, everybody, hang on to Abra!
- ASH: Ready? Let's do it! - MIRA: Abra Teleport!
ABRA: [TELEPORT MOVE]
JESSIE: How did the Twerps do that?
JAMES: First they're here, then they disappear!
MEOWTH: It's that Abra! All they did was grab onto it,
and it was off to the races! Heh!
JESSIE: Sounds like we need to grab onto it, too!
MEOWTH: Now you're talking!
JAMES: Of course! You see, if that Abra was ours,
our blasting-off days would be over for good!
JESSIE: He's right! Whenever a blastoff was in progress,
we'd just teleport to somewhere safe and sound!
- JESSIE: Then, off we go! - JAMES: No time to waste!
JESSIE, JAMES: Get Abra post-haste!
MEOWTH: Man, if I had a nickel for every time they took off
without a plan, I'd have more cash than the Boss
WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]
- MIRA: Here we are! - ASH: We made it!
DAWN: Wow, it's Hearthome Ci...
ASH: I don't think they'd put Hearthome City on a dam.
MIRA: Oh dear, I guess we made a mistake!
MIRA: Sorry about that!
BROCK: Oh well. I guess we all make mistakes, don't we?
DAWN: Yeah, so now can we try again?
MIRA: Hold on. I need to ask you a favor.
ASH: A favor?
MIRA: See, a while back I dropped my grandmother's
beautiful pendant into the lake down there. And so
BROCK: I get it! So you thought you'd ask us if we'd help you
to get your pendant back!
DAWN: That means you teleported us here on purpose, right?
MIRA: I'm sorry!
ASH: Wow well, what do you know.
DAWN: But wouldn't it just be easier to look for it
by using Abra's power to teleport?
MIRA: Yeah, but the thing is, Abra can't teleport underwater.
Big problem!
ASH: So that's that!
First we'll help you find the pendant,
and then you can help us!
- DAWN: I'd like to help, too! - BROCK: Count me in!
MIRA: Thanks so much!
I'm sure your Piplup and Buizel will be a big help as well!
DAWN: But how did you know about them?
MIRA: I saw you with them in the river back there.
ASH: You did? You've had this planned out from the start!
BROCK: Well I guess that's okay.
But look around! This lake is huge and deep, too!
There's no way we could ever search the whole thing!
MIRA: Hey, no problem! I've got everything under control!
MIRA: With these...
MIRA: You'll be able to stay underwater a long time!
- ASH: We're all going? - MIRA: Yes, please?
ASH, PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]
ABRA, BUIZEL, PIPLUP, PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]
GYARADOS: [ANGRY]
DAWN: Let's go!
GYARADOS: [att*ck]
PIPLUP, BUIZEL: [IMPACT]
ASH, BROCK, PIKACHU: [SHOCKED]
GYARADOS: [att*ck]
PIKACHU, PIPLUP, ABRA, BUIZEL: [PAINED]
PIKACHU, PIPLUP, ABRA, BUIZEL: [SCARED]
ASH: Whoa... I'll tell you,
I never thought we'd run into a Gyarados down there!
DAWN: Mira, you knew about that Gyarados, right?
MIRA: Of course!
But if I had told you about it, you wouldn't have come with me!
BROCK: So what else?
BROCK: It's time for you to tell us what else you've been hiding!
ASH: What do you mean, Brock?
BROCK: You brought us like you already knew the way!
BROCK: You took us right to where Gyarados was!
BROCK: It's like you were looking for something.
Something in that exact location!
BROCK: That's no accident.
BROCK: Thing is, you've already narrowed your search
down to such a small area,
I don't understand what you need us for!
MIRA: I guess they're not psychic!
ABRA: [AGREEMENT]
MIRA: I'm sorry. I made up the pendant story!
- DAWN: What?! - ASH: Why do a thing like that?
MIRA: You know the building we found Gyarados in?
That's the school I used to go to!
MIRA: When I was there,
I had two of the best friends in the whole wide world!
MIRA: We played together all the time!
On the playground, and the gym, and everywhere!
MIRA: One day, we found a Poké Ball,
and there was a Pokémon already in it!
MIRA: We decided right away it was going to belong to
all three of us, and we all raised it!
MIRA: See, we were all working hard to become Trainers
MIRA: So we took turns bringing it to each of our houses
and taking care of it!
MIRA: But one day, some people we didn't know said
they were building a dam that would put our town underwater!
We all had to move,
and my friends went to a different town.
ASH: Wow, too bad.
DAWN: So, do you have any idea what happened to the Poké Ball?
MIRA: Not sure. I even called up my friends who moved away,
and they had no idea either!
BROCK: Well, it has to be somewhere!
MIRA: Thing is, I really think I do know!
The three of us had a secret hiding place.
MIRA: I can't tell you how many times
I've tried to go back down there with Abra.
MIRA: But we can never get past you-know-who.
That nasty Gyarados always chases us away!
We've tried to fight back before,
but Abra's water battling skills aren't so good!
ABRA: [EMBARRASSED]
DAWN: Well, now at least I can understand
why you wanted us to help you!
ASH: But why didn't you tell the truth from the start?
MIRA: I couldn't! Here I am working to be a Pokémon Trainer,
and at the same time I've totally neglected the Pokémon
I loved and took care of for such a long time!
BROCK: Yeah, I guess it would be pretty hard to admit that.
DAWN: So what kind of Pokémon is inside that Poké Ball, anyway?
MIRA: Sandshrew!
But Sandshrew are Ground types and weak against water,
so I'm worried about it.
BROCK: As long as it stays in its Poké Ball,
I'm sure that it'll be just fine!
ASH: Great! So let's all go and save that Sandshrew!
BROCK: Yeah!
DAWN: And battling in the water will be good training
for Piplup and Buizel!
MIRA: Thanks so much! That's awesome!
ABRA: [AGREEMENT]
ASH: But if we're gonna be taking on that Gyarados,
we really need to plan out a strategy.
DAWN: That Gyarados looks angry and strong.
BROCK: So? I've got a plan!
BROCK: Now don't you worry about a thing!
JESSIE: What are those Twerps doing here?
JAMES: It is a bit too moist for Hearthome City.
MEOWTH: Maybe that Abra's radar got knocked out of whack.
JAMES: That dive was no accident!
JESSIE: I'll bet they're looking for something down there!
MEOWTH: Lakes are notorious for having pirate treasures
stuck in them, you know?
JAMES: Sorry to be a wet blanket,
but lakes with dams can't be accessed by pirate ships.
JESSIE: Oh, you and your dumb details!
JESSIE: Abra's hers but very soon Abra will be ours!
GYARADOS: [ANGRY]
DAWN: Go!
PIPLUP, BUIZEL: [EFFORT]
BUIZEL: [WATER g*n MOVE]
- MIRA: All right! - DAWN: Piplup, you, too!
GYARADOS: [ANGRY]
BUIZEL: [DETERMINED] GYARADOS: [ANGRY]
BUIZEL: [SONIC BOOM MOVE]
GYARADOS: [IMPACT]
DAWN: Way to go!
GYARADOS: [FURIOUS]
DAWN: You both ready?
GYARADOS: [ANGRY] PIPLUP, BUIZEL: [FOCUSED]
PIKACHU: [ALERT]
ASH: They're here?
All right!
GYARADOS: [ANGRY]
ASH: Pikachu, it's time! Thunderbolt!
PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]
GYARADOS: [PAINED]
PIKACHU: [TRIUMPHANT]
ASH: Great job! Just like Brock's plan!
MIRA: Getting Gyarados in the air
that was a stroke of pure genius!
DAWN: That way, none of us here in the water got zapped
by Pikachu's Thunderbolt!
BROCK: I don't think Gyarados will be attacking for a while,
so now's our chance!
ASH, DAWN, MIRA: Yeah, great!
ASH, BROCK, DAWN, MIRA, PIKACHU, ABRA, PIPLUP, BUIZEL: [SHOCKED]
JESSIE: Hello, Twerp group!
DAWN, ASH, BROCK: Team Rocket?
MEOWTH: Okay, Carvanha! Torpedo fire!
ASH, BROCK, DAWN, MIRA, PIKACHU, ABRA, PIPLUP: [SCARED]
DAWN, MIRA, PIPLUP: [SCARED] ABRA: [SCARED]
- JESSIE: Ready? - MEOWTH: Oohwee!
MIRA: Abra, look out!
ASH, BROCK, PIKACHU, BUIZEL: [SURPRISED]
JESSIE: Anchors aweigh!
DAWN: Mira! After them!
PIPLUP, BUIZEL: [AFFIRMATIVE]
PIPLUP, BUIZEL: [DETERMINED]
PIPLUP, BUIZEL: [SHOCKED]
- JAMES: We've got company! - MEOWTH: Not for long!
Ka-bong!
PIPLUP, BUIZEL: [IMPACT]
JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: You're a day late and a brain short!
JESSIE: The perfect end to a perfect scheme!
JAMES: With the tactics that make this trio a team!
MEOWTH: So first let's dump the Twerp with the tails,
then grab Abra and scram!
MIRA: Excuse me.
MIRA: Did I hear right? You're Team Rocket?
JESSIE: Uh, yeah.
MIRA: Awesome! You're the real thing!
MIRA: Team Rocket! You guys are my favorite!
- I'm your number one fan! - JESSIE: We love fans!
JAMES: Finally! A Twerpette with good taste!
MEOWTH: I didn't think there was such a thing!
MIRA: I want to become a member of Team Rocket,
just like you cool people!
- MIRA: So how do I join up? - JAMES: How cute!
First, you have to go to Team Rocket Training School
MIRA: Wow, there's a Team Rocket Training School? That's it!
Abra, please? You and I, let's both enroll, okay?
ABRA: [ANNOYED]
MEOWTH: I'll tell you what I'll do.
I'll put in a good word to the Boss!
MIRA: Abra! Teleport!
ABRA: [TELEPORT MOVE]
JESSIE: They got away.
- JAMES: Just like that. - MEOWTH: Vanished, kaput.
- JESSIE: Just like a Twerp! - JAMES: That lying brat!
MEOWTH: Well, that's it! It's Twerp group payback time!
ASH: You seen Team Rocket?
DAWN: Haven't seen them anywhere!
BROCK: Me neither!
DAWN: We've got to find them, and quick!
MIRA: Hey, we're back!
DAWN: Mira! Abra!
ASH: Cool! You used Teleport to escape, right?
BROCK: That was some good thinking!
MIRA: Abra had a tough time, so it was a little teeny bit scary!
ASH: You're safe now!
MIRA: So! Let's go and save Sandshrew!
MIRA: Thanks so much! I owe you all big time!
ASH: Nah, glad to help!
DAWN: Come on, let's see Sandshrew!
MIRA: Now, Sandshrew, go!
SANDSHREW: [APPEARING]
MIRA: Sandshrew!
MIRA: It's so good to see you! It's me, Mira!
MIRA: I missed you! I'm sorry I left you for so long!
ASH: Wow, Sandshrew looks great!
BROCK: Yeah! Sandshrew looks to me
like the picture of good health!
DAWN: What a relief!
POKEDEX: Sandshrew. The Mouse Pokémon. Sandshrew hates
moisture and lives in holes it digs in dry places.
It protects itself by curling into a ball.
ABRA: [HAPPY] / [SHOCKED]
- MIRA: What happened? - ASH: It's Team Rocket!
JESSIE: Is that someone stating the obvious I hear?
JAMES: When it comes to "no duh," the Twerp has no peer!
- JESSIE: On the wind! - JAMES: Past the stars!
MEOWTH: In your ear!
JESSIE: Bringing chaos at a breakneck pace!
JAMES: Dashing hope, putting fear in its place!
JESSIE: A rose by any other name's just as sweet!
JAMES: When everything's worse, our work is complete!
- JESSIE: Jessie! - JAMES: And James!
MEOWTH: Meowth, that's a name!
JESSIE: Putting the do-gooders in their place!
- JAMES: We're Team Rocket! - JESSIE: In your face!
MIME JR: [MIMICKING]
- ASH: Stop it! - MIRA: Give back Abra!
JESSIE: Why should we?
JAMES: After your trickery, we owe you one!
MEOWTH: See, we actually make good on our debts!
MIRA: So do I! Abra, use Teleport!
ABRA: [TELEPORT MOVE] / [CONFUSED]
MIRA: What happened?
JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Team Rocket resilience!
MEOWTH: This net takes any psychic move
you Twerps can dish out and eats it for lunch!
ASH: We'll just see about that! Now, Turtwig, Razor Leaf!
TURTWIG: [RAZOR LEAF MOVE]
ABRA: [TELEPORT MOVE]
MIRA: That was great! Thanks, Turtwig!
TURTWIG: [PROUD]
JESSIE: Lunchtime's over!
JAMES: Psychic-proof's not Razor Leaf-proof, you know!
MEOWTH: Dig it, with the dough we spent on jet skis
and torpedoes, what do you want?
JESSIE: Right! Time for brute strength!
JAMES: And I'll do what I can, too!
- JESSIE: Dustox and Cacnea... - JESSIE, JAMES: Let's go!
DUSTOX: [APPEARING]
JAMES: I will not waste my brute strength
fending off your friendship!
JESSIE: Quick, Dustox, Poison Sting!
JAMES: Cacnea, use Pin m*ssile, now!
CACNEA: [PIN m*ssile MOVE]
TURTWIG: [DETERMINED]
ASH: Dodge and use Razor Leaf!
TURTWIG: [RAZOR LEAF MOVE]
DUSTOX, CACNEA: [PAINED]
MIRA: Turtwig's so strong!
MIRA: Sandshrew, you wanna battle, too?
MIRA: Go for it!
JESSIE: You go for it with Tackle, Dustox!
JAMES: And Cacnea, use Needle Arm!
- MIRA: Ash, can we battle, too? - ASH: You bet!
- MIRA: Sandshrew! Use Slash! - ASH: Turtwig! Use Tackle!
JESSIE: Dustox, darling!
- JAMES: Cacnea, dear! - MIRA: Sandshrew! Sandstorm!
CACNEA: [PAINED]
DUSTOX: [PAINED]
- DAWN: Wow, Sandshrew's great! - BROCK: You can say that again!
ASH: Let's wrap this up! Pikachu! Thunderbolt, let's go!
PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]
JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH, DUSTOX, CACNEA: [PANICKED]
- JESSIE: Great! It's time! - JAMES: Abra! Teleport!
MEOWTH: Stop living in the past.
JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: We're blasting off again!
ASH, MIRA: All right!
SANDSHREW: [EXCITED] TURTWIG: [EXCITED]
MIRA: Hey! Let's go to Hearthome City for real!
- ASH: Yeah! - DAWN, BROCK: Good idea!
MIRA: We're here! Promise! Hearthome City!
DAWN: Wow!
ASH: My next Gym battle's down there!
DAWN: And my next contest, too!
BROCK: And we still got here a lot earlier,
thanks to you, Mira!
MIRA: Come on. I should thank you!
MIRA: Good luck in your Gym battle and contest!
ASH: Thanks!
DAWN: I feel a big win coming on!
NARRATOR: And so,
our heroes make a surprisingly quick arrival in Hearthome City
which gives Ash and Dawn more time to
excitedly anticipate their next competitions. And we will, too!
