NARRATOR: As our Heroes' Sinnoh journey presses on,

a torrent of training affirms the power of the new teams of

Ash and Buizel, and Dawn and Aipom!

On a road, far from home,

you don't have to feel alone.

Brave and strong,

together we will be.

It's our destiny!

We will be heroes,

We can change the world if we try!

I go where you go,

Forever friends, you and I!

We will be heroes!

Battle Dimension Pokémon!

AIPOM: [FOCUS PUNCH MOVE]

ASH: Uh oh! Now we've done it!

ASH: Whoa, check that out!

DAWN: It's getting cloudy.

DAWN: Hey, where's that chill coming from?!

DAWN: I'm getting goose bumps.

ASH: There's something really weird about this,

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

ASH, DAWN, BROCK, PIKACHU, BUIZEL, AIPOM: [SCARED]

SPIRITOMB: [MOANING]

SPIRITOMB: [MOANING]

DAWN: What's that?

ASH, DAWN, BROCK, PIKACHU, BUIZEL, AIPOM: [STARTLED]

SPIRITOMB: [MOANING]

BROCK: That's a Pokémon?

POKEDEX: Spiritomb. The Forbidden Pokémon.

As punishment for misdeeds five hundred years ago,

it was imprisoned in the fissure of an odd keystone.

ASH: Spiritomb?

SPIRITOMB: [SHADOW BALL MOVE]

ASH, DAWN, BROCK, PIKACHU, BUIZEL, AIPOM: [PANICKED]

SPIRITOMB: [HYPER BEAM MOVE]

ASH: Why are you doing this? Buizel! Water g*n!

BUIZEL: [WATER g*n MOVE]

SPIRITOMB: [DARK PULSE MOVE]

BUIZEL: [PAINED]

ASH: No, Buizel!

SPIRITOMB: [MOANING]

ASH: Wow, it's gone.

DAWN: What was that about?

JESSIE: Yay! Time for a sweet dinner treat that's fun to eat!

JAMES: It'd be more fun with a little heat.

MEOWTH: What a b*at.

JESSIE: Just try it it's neat! Bon appetit!

MEOWTH, JAMES: Bon appetit.

SPIRITOMB: [MOANING]

JESSIE: No sharing, you two!

SPIRITOMB: [HYPER BEAM MOVE]

SPIRITOMB: [DARK PULSE MOVE]

JESSIE: If we wanted them burnt we would've burnt them!

SPIRITOMB: [MOANING]

JESSIE: Who was that iron chef?

JAMES: Well, the cards claim it's called Spiritomb!

JAMES: And what conked you on the cranium is a keystone!

JAMES: Though why it toasted our tidbits is beyond me.

MEOWTH: No recipe?

JESSIE: You've toasted your last roast!

And now it's your turn to get on the spit!

Nobody messes around with my meal!

ASH: I'd sure like to figure out what that Spiritomb was doing

here in the first place.

PIKACHU: [CURIOUS]

DAWN: Yeah and in such a nasty mood as well!

BROCK: Oh yeah!

ASH: Check it out!

DAWN: Something terrible has happened!

BOY: Please Raticate, be okay!

GIRL: Parasect, say something!

ASH: What happened?

BOY: Some kind of creepy Pokémon just att*cked us all

out of nowhere! And none of us did anything!

ASH: I wonder...

DAWN: Sounds like it could've been Spiritomb.

BROCK: After what we saw, I'd agree!

OLD LADY: It was Spiritomb!

OLD LADY: The evil Spiritomb's been reborn it's got to be true!

DAWN: Excuse me, I'm having a little trouble following you.

OLD LADY: Then loosen up that little white cap of yours honey!

The seal holding Spiritomb has been smashed!

ASH: I'm still not sure what you're talking about.

OLD LADY: Good thing I am!

ASH, DAWN, BROCK: Then won't you explain it to us?

OLD LADY: There's a village legend going back a long time

that tells all about how Spiritomb was sealed away.

DAWN: Sealed away?

OLD LADY: You heard right.

There was a wicked Pokémon named Spiritomb.

It caused terrible trouble for the folks living around here!

It did everything it could to make their lives miserable!

OLD LADY: Always messing with the fruit

the villagers were trying to pick

and destroying everybody's homes!

OLD LADY: Nothing could be done to stop Spiritomb and those

villagers were one step away from being at their wits end!

OLD LADY: When all of a sudden,

an Aura Guardian came wandering right into their village!

ASH: An Aura Guardian!

OLD LADY: And this Aura Guardian had a Pikachu with him!

OLD LADY: They told him about their troubles,

and he battled Spiritomb on behalf of the village!

OLD LADY: Then, after bravely defeating Spiritomb,

the Aura Guardian sealed it in a keystone deep inside a

stone hallowed tower to make certain

it wouldn't cause anyone any harm ever again!

OLD LADY: The village was saved,

and everyone lived happily ever after!

OLD LADY: So, you wanted to hear the legend and now you have!

ASH: Hallowed tower huh?

DAWN: Made out of stone huh?

BROCK: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

OLD LADY: The stone hallowed tower's nothing

but a heap of rubble!

OLD LADY: You kids did this didn't you?

ASH: It was just an accident, see?

DAWN: We were using Buizel's Sonic Boom

when we mistakenly knocked it down!

BROCK: Of course, there's no way

we could've known anything about your legend!

OLD LADY: So it was you, you little pipsqueaks!

ASH, BROCK, DAWN: We're really sorry and we won't do it again!

PIKACHU: [APOLOGIZING]

OLD LADY: First it's sealed up by the Aura Guardian

and his Pikachu and now that awful wicked Spiritomb's

been unsealed by a well-meaning but reckless group of kids

with a young man who just happens to have a Pikachu too!

OLD LADY: Those ways of fate can sure be mighty strange.

ASH: Since we're the ones who broke that seal

we'll make it right! You can count on it!

OLD LADY: Well that's mighty big talk but you'd better

keep in mind that Spiritomb is one mean and nasty Pokémon!

JESSIE: Excuse me, but we happened

to overhear all that big talk.

BROCK: Whoa, who are you?

JESSIE: Moi? I'm a renowned combination mystic psychic

and hairdresser!

JAMES: And I'm her Guy Friday!

DAWN: You mean like the ones on TV that tell celebrities

about their past lives and predict their future?

JESSIE: I can see what can't be seen

and tell what can't be told! Like I'm going to do now!

JESSIE: You with the Pikachu!

ASH: Me?

JESSIE: It's as clear as your clueless stare!

JESSIE: The stars tell me that your spirit guide is conducting

Pokémon research! A true, blue Pokémon man!

JESSIE: I see him! Red shirt, white lab coat,

endlessly writing Pokémon poems

ASH: Hey, that's Professor Oak!

BROCK: But, just one thing: he's still alive!

ASH: He sure is!

JESSIE: And I can see your past lives!

DAWN: I've got those?

JESSIE: You're all good at that clueless stare stuff!

JESSIE: You lived once as Slowpoke!

DAWN: You mean I was a Pokémon in a past life? As a Slowpoke?

JESSIE: And your spirit guide is...

JAMES, MEOWTH: Her! Sharpedo teeth!

OLD LADY: Excuse me,

but I haven't departed this world quite yet.

JESSIE: Could've fooled me ma'am!

JAMES: Our psychic Sneasel has the gift of communication

with other Pokémon via mental telepathy!

MEOWTH: Sneasel snee!

DAWN: Wow no joke?

MEOWTH: Sneasel snee!

JESSIE: And that means you can leave the unpleasant task

of dealing with that saucy Spiritomb to us!

JESSIE: We'll simply use one swipe

to catch both Spiritomb and Pikachu!

BOY B: Hey! Granny, help!

BOY B: That bad Spiritomb's attacking us again!

ASH, DAWN, OLD LADY, BROCK, PIKACHU: [SHOCKED]

ASH: Look, there's Spiritomb!

JESSIE: All right, Sneasel, do your thing!

MEOWTH: Sneasel snee!

MEOWTH: Sneasel, Sneasel Sneasel!

SPIRITOMB: [CONFUSED]

MEOWTH: Snea, Sneasel Sneasel!

ASH: What are they doing?

JAMES: At this very moment Sneasel is using telepathy

to explore the demonic depths of Spiritomb's thoughts!

DAWN: But, it looks to me like

the two of them are just talking!

MEOWTH: Sneasel snea, snea snea, sneasel snea

JAMES: Sneasel says Spiritomb wants something from Pikachu!

ASH: Like what? PIKACHU: [CONFUSED]

JESSIE: Well then, mustn't let Mister Nasty wait!

Chop chop! Come along!

SPIRITOMB: [CONFUSED]

JESSIE: I will now re-seal this floating troublemaker

by utilizing my psychic powers!

JESSIE: Hocus pocus! Ready, get set.

Put its bad self in the net!

SPIRITOMB, PIKACHU: [STARTLED]

JAMES: And goal!

JESSIE: Soon, they'll be casting a spell on the boss!

MEOWTH: So, let's get our ride and slide!

ASH: No, you don't!

JESSIE: Being clueless can be a bad habit!

JESSIE: I don't have to be psychic to know the truth

JAMES: Especially when dealing with Twerpish youth!

JESSIE: On the wind!

JAMES: The stars!

MEOWTH: Yeah, forsooth!

JESSIE: Bringing chaos at a break neck pace!

JAMES: Dashing hope, putting fear in its place!

JESSIE: A mystic psychic by any other name is just as smart!

JAMES: We've turned fooling you dumb Twerps into an art!

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, JAMES, MEOWTH: In your face!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Our ride is here so we're out of here!

ASH: Team Rocket come back!

OLD LADY: If they think they can capture Spiritomb

they're dumber than they look!

SPIRITOMB: [DARK PULSE MOVE]

JAMES: You could've warned us first!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH, PIKACHU: [DAZED]

ASH: Pikachu! You okay? PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

SPIRITOMB: [MOANING]

JESSIE: Go, Seviper!

SEVIPER: [APPEARING] JESSIE: There!

SEVIPER: [PAINED]

MEOWTH: You like pulling things out of the hat like that,

-don't you? JESSIE: b*at it!

SPIRITOMB: [HOWLING]

JAMES: I hate echoed screaming!

SPIRITOMB: [HOWLING]

SPIRITOMB: [HOWLING]

ASH: Spiritomb showed Team Rocket a thing or two!

DAWN: Wow, was it angry!

OLD LADY: They're much dumber than they look!

JESSIE: Can't take another step.

SPIRITOMB: [MOANING]

JESSIE: We give up! But please, please for badness sake...

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Just once. Give us a break!

SPIRITOMB: [EXPLAINING] JESSIE: You get that?

MEOWTH: Well I'm the only one speaking the lingo around here.

Spiritomb wants revenge big-time on

the Aura Guardian that sealed it up in that keystone!

JESSIE: Now let's review: How long ago did this take place?

JAMES: years or so.

JESSIE: Those who live in the past are doomed to repeat it!

JESSIE: Before we hash this out, look!

SPIRITOMB: [CURIOUS] JESSIE: Ciao!

MEOWTH, JAMES: Hasta la vista!

SPIRITOMB: [ANGRY]

STARAVIA: [CALLING]

ASH: Staravia, did ya spot Spiritomb yet?

STARAVIA: [NEGATIVE]

DAWN: Where do you think Spiritomb could have gone?

BROCK: What if Spiritomb found another village?

ASH: Guys, we've got to make sure that doesn't happen!

DAWN: Wait! We just saw Spiritomb

chasing Team Rocket, right? ASH: Uh huh.

DAWN: So, that means if we can lure Team Rocket here,

then Spiritomb may come along too!

ASH: You're right! That might work!

BROCK: Yeah. Especially since nothing else has. What next?

DAWN: Okay, here's the plan. Listen up!

JESSIE: Scary, but not too smart.

JAMES: Spiritomb's as feisty as an Aura Guardian!

MEOWTH: Every time we're close to plucking Pikachu

our eyes get too big!

JAMES: Well, widen your eyes now!

JESSIE: Pikachu! Taking a snooze in the meadow are we?

MEOWTH: With nary a Twerp in sight to cause trouble!

JAMES: This is our lucky day!

JESSIE: Excuse me! 'Twas because of my

- brilliant strategy, not luck! -MEOWTH, JAMES: Please!

PIKACHU: [TAUNTING]

JAMES, JESSIE, MEOWTH: Hey!

JESSIE: What's with the pit trap?

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Twerps?

ASH: Listen, is that bad guy talk I hear?

DAWN: It speaks to me loud and clear!

ASH: On the wind! DAWN: Past the stars!

BROCK: In your ear!

JESSIE: It's that kind of imitation

they invented lawsuits for!

DAWN: Chill out! We couldn't care less about you!

ASH: We're looking for Spiritomb!

SPIRITOMB: [HOWLING]

ASH: That's strategy.

DAWN: Who are the Twerps now?

JESSIE: I won't be treated like a piece of garbage!

MEOWTH: You're a little late.

JESSIE: I think it's time for those Twerps

to reap what they sow!

JAMES: Let's go!

MEOWTH: Your highness!

If it's total unmerciful revenge you want,

have I got the perfect sap for you!

JESSIE: That Twerp with the perched Pikachu

is a descendant of the Aura Guardian who sealed you

in that crazy keystone!

ASH: You mean me? PIKACHU: [CONFUSED]

SPIRITOMB: [HYPER BEAM MOVE]

ASH: All right Spiritomb! Sure I'll battle you!

OLD LADY: You must lure it to the broken stone tower!

ASH: Okay! Come get me!

PIKACHU: [TAUNTING]

SPIRITOMB: [ANGRY]

SPIRITOMB: [DARK PULSE MOVE]

ASH: Pikachu! Quick att*ck, go!

PIKACHU: [QUICK att*ck MOVE] SPIRITOMB: [HOWLING]

PIKACHU: [QUICK att*ck MOVE] ASH: Now Thunderbolt!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

SPIRITOMB: [SHOCKED]

SPIRITOMB: [HYPER BEAM MOVE]

PIKACHU: [EXERTION]

BROCK: That Spiritomb is sure powerful!

DAWN: Ash, please be careful!

JESSIE: Perfect! The wrath of Spiritomb is being unloaded

on the Twerp and his Pikachu!

JESSIE: And once Pikachu's pounded to a pulp

we'll go and grab what's left!

SPIRITOMB: [HYPER BEAM MOVE]

ASH, PIKACHU: [RUNNING]

SPIRITOMB: [ANGRY]

ASH: Just a little more Pikachu, okay?

PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

SPIRITOMB: [HYPER BEAM MOVE] ASH, PIKACHU: [EXERTION]

ASH: Now! Pikachu, Thunderbolt!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

SPIRITOMB: [SHOCKED]

ASH: It's working! Again!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

PIKACHU: [PANTING]

ASH: That Spiritomb's tough!

JESSIE: That Spiritomb just tops the tops! Wow!

Pikachu's getting a proper pounding!

JAMES: Once Pikachu's pliable, we'll pick up the pieces!

ASH: Quick, Pikachu, Thunderbolt!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE] SPIRITOMB: [EXERTION]

BROCK: Oh no! Pikachu's totally worn out!

DAWN: Pikachu, hang in there!

JESSIE: Please don't hang in there!

SPIRITOMB: [AMUSED]

SPIRITOMB: [SHADOW BALL MOVE] PIKACHU: [EXERTION]

SPIRITOMB: [SHADOW BALL MOVE] PIKACHU: [EXERTION]

PIKACHU: [EXERTION] / [WEAK]

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Here's the pitch!

SPIRITOMB: [SHADOW BALL MOVE]

ASH, PIKACHU: [SHOCKED]

JESSIE: Talk about lousy seats!

JAMES: You had to have center field!

MEOWTH: Cheap seats for cheap skates.

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

PIKACHU: [WEAK] / [DETERMINED] ASH: Pikachu, you okay?

PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

SPIRITOMB: [GIGA IMPACT MOVE]

BROCK: That's Giga Impact!

OLD LADY: If this one makes contact it's all over!

DAWN: You guys, quick! Move it!

SPIRITOMB: [GIGA IMPACT MOVE]

ASH, PIKACHU: [SHOCKED]

ASH, PIKACHU: [PAINED]

ASH: Pikachu!

SPIRITOMB: [MOANING]

SPIRITOMB: [AMUSED]

DAWN: Look at the sky.

BROCK: It's just like before!

ASH: Pikachu! Pikachu!

ASH: Pikachu, get up please!

PIKACHU: [STRUGGLING]

ASH: It's our last chance! Use Thunderbolt and aim for the sky!

PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

PIKACHU: [SHOCKED]

SPIRITOMB: [CONFUSED]

PIKACHU: [REELING]

PIKACHU: [DETERMINED]

BROCK: Yes! That lightning's

recharged Pikachu's energy big time!

DAWN: Wow, you did it!

ASH: Feeling good, Pikachu?

PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: Great! Let's go! Volt Tackle!

PIKACHU: [VOLT TACKLE MOVE]

SPIRITOMB: [DARK PULSE MOVE]

PIKACHU: [VOLT TACKLE MOVE]

SPIRITOMB: [PAINED]

OLD LADY: It can't be. Look at that!

PIKACHU, SPIRITOMB: [STRUGGLING]

ASH: Now finish it with Thunderbolt!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE] SPIRITOMB: [HOWLING]

SPIRITOMB: [WEAK]

PIKACHU: [EXERTION]

ASH: Yeah, it worked!

-You okay, Pikachu? DAWN: Pikachu!

OLD LADY: Now we've gotta seal away the keystone

in the Stone Hallowed Tower quick as we can!

BROCK: Got you.

ASH: That's that!

OLD LADY: The keystone's locked inside!

And that means Spiritomb won't be coming back here ever!

ASH: That's totally fine with me!

ASH: Things got pretty tough for a while, right Buddy?

PIKACHU: [AGREE]

OLD LADY: And now another legend is born!

After again attacking the village, Spiritomb was sealed

away by the Aura Guardian and his loyal Pikachu! Yeah!

ASH: I'm not an Aura Guardian. I'm gonna be a Pokémon Master!

OLD LADY: Is that right? Okay, that works too!

DAWN: Guess my stomach's thinking about other things!

OLD LADY: Since the sun's gone down already

come on over to my place and eat!

ASH: Sounds great! PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

DAWN: Thanks so much!

BROCK: And tonight you can leave the cooking details to me!

NARRATOR: There's no doubt having to battle and recapture

a fierce Spiritomb can work up a big appetite,

and so before our Heroes'

journey to Solaceon Town continues, dinner is served!
