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!

[ASH READS ON-SCREEN TEXT]

DAWN: Hey, look over there!

ASH, BROCK, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [SURPRISED]

DAWN: That bridge would make a great shortcut!

BROCK : But the map says it's still under construction.

ASH: It looks like we're not

getting across the river that way.

PIKACHU: [DISAPPOINTED]

NARRATOR: As our heroes continue their trek to Solaceon Town

and Dawn's next Pokémon Contest,

a river spanned by a not-quite-finished bridge

manages to slow things down a bit.

ASH: There's someone up there!

BROCK: A beautiful someone!

BROCK: Look out!

ASH, DAWN: Brock, what's wrong?

BROCK: Don't take another step! I'll save you, my lady!

ENGINEER: So what are you going to do about this?

You know there's no time left!

!sis: Uh, I know.

BROCK: Don't move!

BROCK: I've got you.

BROCK: Whoa!

CROAGUNK: [CROAKING]

BROCK: Thanks! I owe you one, Croagunk!

ASH: Brock!

ENGINEER: You kids should know better than to hang around here!

BROCK: I'm here to save this beautiful lady

from the danger you've put her in!

ENGINEER: I've put her in?

!sis: You're making a mistake!

DAWN: Looks like lover boy's done it again.

ASH: Yeah!

!sis: You see, the head engineer and the mayor and I

were simply in the middle of a discussion

about the construction of the bridge, and that's it!

BROCK: So nobody was getting hurt?

MAYOR: You see, son, the head engineer is the supervisor

for this important project!

BROCK: I do hope you'll all forgive me!

DAWN: One minute Brock finds a beautiful girl,

and the next he loses his mind.

ENGINEER: Whether or not these ridiculous intrusions continue,

this bridge will be completed in three days' time,

even if you and my Pokémon collapse from exhaustion!

MAYOR: You know, the bridge grand opening

is way past the planning stage,

so we're depending on you to finish up by then!

!sis: Yes, sir.

ENGINEER: Remember, I've got my reputation

as head engineer to think about!

ASH: Just thinking about himself.

DAWN: That's so selfish!

PIKACHU: [ANNOYED]

BROCK: !sis. What a lovely name!

BROCK: The name is Brock!

CROAGUNK: [CROAKING] ASH: And I'm Ash!

DAWN: My name's Dawn!

PIKACHU: [GREETING]

PIPLUP: [GREETING]

BROCK: If I may, I'd like to offer my assistance to you

in any possible way I can!

!sis: Huh? Thanks!

!sis: To travel from this village to the next town,

we've always had to take a very inconvenient mountain pass.

!sis: And that's why they decided

to construct this bridge!

!sis: Originally, they hired a well-known master stonecutter

to do the work, but the poor man threw out his back.

!sis: The head engineer then took over construction

and the very first thing he did was to

put me in charge of every last bit of stonecutting!

But work has ground to a complete halt.

!sis: And our finish deadline is just three days away!

ASH: But wait, so why isn't your crew working?

-!sis: You see... -BROCK: Please, say no more!

You just leave it to me! Let's go!

BROCK: Here. Here.

BROCK: Here. Here.

BROCK: Watch this!

MACHAMP : [EXCITED]

MACHOKE: [PLEASED]

MACHAMP [X ], MACHOKE [X ]: [PLEASED]

!sis: Incredible!

ASH: Brock wants to be a top Pokémon breeder!

PIPLUP: [PROUD]

DAWN: I know you're a big fan of Brock's, Piplup,

but I think she was complimenting his Pokémon food!

PIPLUP: [SHEEPISH]

BROCK: Yup, my special energy-boosting Pokémon food

will give the most tired, worn-out Pokémon

stamina, power, and drive!

!sis: That's great, except these Pokémon aren't the real problem.

BROCK: What?!

!sis: It's the Pokémon that cuts the stone in the stone quarry.

It won't do the work, so we don't have any stone!

BROCK: Aha!

BROCK: My Pokémon food will have that Pokémon cutting

enough stone for ten bridges! Where is your stone quarry?

BROCK: Lead the way! Go, please, go!

!sis: Sure!

JESSIE: Some prime examples of brute Pokémon strength!

JAMES: A group of Pokémon with the bulk to build bridges

has the brawn to build us a base!

MEOWTH: And after they're all through with our little project,

we could hand them off to the Boss!

MEOWTH: Picture morning time in Bossland,

and he's starting to get his wake-up on.

MEOWTH: He flings open the curtains

and sees the gorgeous stone castle in his garden! Hello!

MEOWTH: Course, castles don't just grow on trees,

so he's wondering where it came from.

MEOWTH: And that's when he realizes

that work of stone art stretches out

as far as the eye can see! Whee!

MEOWTH: And he's got us to thank.

JESSIE: Building a glorious future.

JAMES: One Sinnoh stone at a time!

MEOWTH, JESSIE, JAMES: Feeling fine!

!sis: Our stones are cut by the Pokémon up on that ledge!

BIBAREL: [YAWNING]

POKEDEX: Bibarel. The Beaver Pokémon.

It dams up rivers to make a nest,

POKEDEX: and is well known as a hard worker.

DAWN: Doesn't look like a hard worker to me!

ASH: A good napper, though.

PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [AGREEMENT]

BROCK: Like I said, I'll take care of this!

-!sis: Uh... -BROCK: I'll just whip up

another batch of my energy-boosting Pokémon food!

That Bibarel will be working in no time flat!

!sis: Uh, okay.

BIBAREL: [SURPRISED]

BROCK: Just one bowl of this food,

and you'll be itching to cut stone!

BIBAREL: [CURIOUS] / [EXCITED]

BROCK: See? What'd I tell you?

BIBAREL: [SATISFIED]

BROCK: What? What's up with that? With that big an appetite,

Bibarel's one of the healthiest Pokémon I've ever seen!

ASH: Uh, !sis,

are you sure Bibarel's a first-class stonecutter?

!sis: Well, I'm the one who taught Bibarel

how to cut stone at the Pokémon Training Center.

BROCK: Are you by chance a professional Pokémon breeder?

!sis: Well, yes!

BROCK: Oh, please forgive me!

!sis: But it's really not something I'm all that proud of!

I can't even motivate my own workers.

BROCK: Has it always been like this?

!sis: No, not always, not at first.

!sis: Bibarel, cut the stone,

just like you see in the picture!

BIBAREL: [AFFIRMATIVE] BIBAREL: [EFFORT]

!sis: Now just a little bit more!

BIBAREL: [AFFIRMATIVE]

BIBAREL: [EFFORT]

!sis: Bibarel, you're doing just great!

!sis: At the center, Bibarel always listened to me

no matter how hard the work was

or how much stone Bibarel had cut!

BIBAREL: [EFFORT]

!sis: So what do you think?

EXPERT: There's still a long way to go.

But if you leave Bibarel's training to me,

then I honestly think there's hope!

!sis: That's great, thank you!

EXPERT: Yes, I'll raise this little Pokémon

into a first-class stonecutter!

!sis: So Bibarel and the expert stonecutter

left the training center to begin their work.

Then, after a while, I went to see how they were doing.

BIBAREL: [RAPID EFFORT]

EXPERT: See? Bibarel's now a master stonecutter!

!sis: Amazing!

!sis: Bibarel had become a stonecutting expert

exactly like its teacher!

!sis: From that moment on, Bibarel never took a day off

from work until its teacher stopped coming here to visit.

!sis: And that's when Bibarel lost all of its drive.

BROCK: So Bibarel misses its teacher, huh?

!sis: Bibarel!

!sis: There are only three days left until the bridge opens up!

Won't you please cut the stones?

BIBAREL: [DISMISSIVE]

!sis: Bibarel!

BROCK: Excuse me, !sis.

BROCK: I'd be more than happy to assist you

with the stone cutting! See, I was the Pewter City

Rock Pokémon Gym Leader in the Kanto region!

!sis: Brock, I know you want to help,

but it's impossible to cut them the right way!

BROCK: But you only have three days left to finish the bridge!

We've got to try!

ASH: I think if we put our heads together,

I'm sure we can get your bridge finished and do it right!

DAWN: No need to worry!

!sis: Uh...

BROCK: Ash, I'd like to use your Turtwig, Buizel,

and Chimchar, okay?

ASH: Sure!

ASH: Now! Turtwig, Buizel, and Chimchar,

come on out and help Brock!

BUIZEL, TURTWIG, CHIMCHAR: [APPEARING]

BROCK: Quick! Sudowoodo, you too!

SUDOWOODO: [APPEARING]

PIPLUP: [DETERMINED]

DAWN: Wow, Piplup,

I guess you don't want to be left out.

PIPLUP: [ENTHUSIASTIC]

BIBAREL: [CURIOUS]

BROCK: Chimchar, I need you to heat the stone

with Flamethrower first!

CHIMCHAR: [FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

BROCK: Okay, now, Buizel, I want you to cool down

the stone fast by using Water g*n, so let's go!

BUIZEL: [WATER g*n MOVE]

DAWN: Neat! Now the stone's cracked!

BIBAREL: [ANGRY]

BROCK: Turtwig, use Razor Leaf! Sudowoodo!

Use Razor Leaf with Mimic!

TURTWIG: [RAZOR LEAF MOVE]

SUDOWOODO: [MIMIC MOVE]

!sis: I'm impressed!

PIPLUP: [PROUD]

DAWN: Yeah, but Piplup, you haven't done anything

-...so far! -!sis: Hold on.

PIPLUP: [SHEEPISH]

!sis: I'm afraid this is no good!

!sis: See, all of these blocks have to be

exactly the right dimensions to make up the bridge's arch!

ASH: I guess it's impossible to do after all.

DAWN: Yeah. And I thought things were going so well.

PIKACHU: [DISAPPOINTED]

BROCK: But that bridge has got to be built,

so we can't accept defeat, no matter what! Let's try it again!

BUIZEL, TURTWIG, CHIMCHAR,

PIPLUP, SUDOWOODO: [ENTHUSIASTIC]

BIBAREL: [STERN] BROCK: Bibarel!

BROCK: So, are you finally ready to get down to work?

BIBAREL: [ANGRY]

!sis: I don't think so. I think Bibarel's angry that

you've come around here and stirred things up!

BROCK, ASH, DAWN, PIKACHU: [CONFUSED]

BIBAREL: [GROWL]

DAWN: I don't like that look on Bibarel's face.

ASH: Yeah, me neither!

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

BIBAREL: [GROWL]

MACHAMP, MACHOKE: [ROAR]

BROCK, ASH, DAWN, !sis, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [CURIOUS]

-DAWN: What's that? -BROCK: It sounds like

-the Machamp and Machoke! - !sis: Oh no! Look up there!

BROCK, ASH, DAWN, PIKACHU, BUIZEL, TURTWIG: [CURIOUS]

JESSIE: Listen up! The movers and shakers are here!

JAMES: Broadcasting live, loud and clear!

-JESSIE: On the wind! -JAMES: Past the stars!

MEOWTH: In your ear!

JESSIE: Building our dream base at a breakneck pace!

JAMES: Giving us hope, putting fear in your face!

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

JAMES: When everything's worse, our work is complete!

-JESSIE: Jessie! -JAMES: And it's James!

MEOWTH: Meowth's the name!

JESSIE: Putting the do-gooders in their place!

JAMES: We're Team Rocket!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: In your face!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

MIME JR: [MIMICKING]

MACHAMP [X ], MACHOKE [X ]: [WORRIED]

!sis: No! They've been captured!

BROCK: Now what do you crooks want with them?

JAMES: If these four muscle-bound movers

of stony slabs can build you a bridge,

they can build us a base with ease!

JESSIE: But we need Bibarel to complete our construction crew!

MEOWTH: Woo hoo!

BIBAREL: [SHOCKED]

-!sis: Bibarel! -BROCK: Give Bibarel back now!

ASH: Quick, Chimchar, Buizel, and Turtwig, save Bibarel!

CHIMCHAR: [FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

BIBAREL: [SURPRISED]

BUIZEL: [WATER g*n MOVE]

ASH: Okay, now use Razor Leaf!

BROCK: Use Mimic to copy Turtwig, Sudowoodo!

TURTWIG, SUDOWOODO: [RAZOR LEAF MOVE]

BROCK: But how? Razor Leaf had no effect on it at all!

MEOWTH: See, you can't rule with an iron fist

without an iron arm, and we've got both!

BIBAREL: [IMPACT]

DAWN: Oh no!

ASH: Now what do we do?

BIBAREL: [DETERMINED]

JAMES: Uh-oh. Bibarel's gnawing the bars!

JESSIE: Those two front teeth can slice through stone!

MEOWTH: Those bars are made out of the same stuff

as both our iron fist and arm!

JESSIE: Oh! You could say we're showing our iron charm!

BIBAREL: [DETERMINED]

MACHAMP [X ], MACHOKE [X ]: [GASP]

BIBAREL: [EXCITED]

MACHOKE [X ]: [EXCITED] MACHAMP [X ]: [EXCITED]

ASH: I think this'd be a great time to use Thunderbolt!

PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

PIKACHU: [EFFORT]

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

JAMES: With choppers like that, I think Bibarel could win an

award for best bridge construction!

JESSIE: Well, you should win an award for

forgetting whose side you're on!

MEOWTH: We've been across that bridge

more times than I care to remember!

JESSIE: That's life with James. Like a worn pair of old shoes.

JAMES: Awful as that sounds, I'm taking that as a compliment!

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

!sis: You were wonderful, Bibarel! You saved them all!

BUIZEL, TURTWIG, CHIMCHAR, PIPLUP, SUDOWOODO: [HAPPY]

MACHAMP [X ], MACHOKE [X ]: [PLEASED]

BIBAREL: [PROUD] BROCK: I've got an idea!

How about you doing a little stonecutting right about now?

BIBAREL: [GRUMPY]

BROCK: But you must know that !sis is running out of time!

Think about it!

!sis: There must be something I can do

to get that bridge completed quickly.

!sis: Oh no, it's the head engineer!

ENGINEER: You can't be trusted to get the job done, can you?

ENGINEER: I'll just have to get those stones cut

and finish that bridge all by myself!

!sis: Sir, but wait!

RHYDON: [APPEARING]

ENGINEER: Okay, Rhydon, use your Horn Drill to cut that stone!

!sis: But sir, without Bibarel's help,

Rhydon will never get it cut to the right size!

BROCK: If you'll forgive me, sir, I think !sis is correct.

ENGINEER: Quiet! Rhydon, go on.

RHYDON: [HORN DRILL MOVE]

BIBAREL: [ANGRY]

MAGMAR: [AGGRESSIVE] AGGRON: [AGGRESSIVE]

RHYDON: [AGGRESSIVE] METANG: [AGGRESSIVE]

BIBAREL: [STUBBORN]

just to protect the stone quarry!

PIKACHU: [IRON TAIL MOVE]

ASH: Chimchar, use Flamethrower!

Buizel, Water g*n! Turtwig, use Razor Leaf!

ENGINEER: All right, you punks, now you really got me mad!

I'm gonna finish building that confounded bridge right now,

ENGINEER: if it's the last thing I do!

ENGINEER: All right! Who did that?

EXPERT: I did that!

BIBAREL: [DELIGHTED] !sis: He's come back!

ENGINEER: What the? MACHAMP #: [EFFORT]

BIBAREL: [EXCITED]

EXPERT: Bibarel, it's wonderful to see you again!

!sis: So does this mean your back is totally healed?

EXPERT: The truth is, I never hurt my back in the first place!

EXPERT: This blueprint was the only thing that

needed to be healed!

ENGINEER: That's a lie! My blueprints are always perfect!

EXPERT: Your blueprint calls for less stones than necessary!

EXPERT: So I built a model just to make sure!

ENGINEER: Why, you sneaky...

EXPERT: Now watch this!

ASH: It fell apart!

BROCK: So the real thing would collapse, too!

EXPERT: If this bridge were built

according to this blueprint,

it wouldn't be able to support its own weight

and would indeed collapse into a heap! A complete disaster!

!sis: How could you?

!sis: Why did you do this?

ENGINEER: Because we never would have finished it in time,

and my reputation would be ruined, that's why!

!sis: So that's it? Well, you'll never work as an engineer again!

EXPERT: You're not fit to work alongside stonecutters!

Now get off this site or else!

we'll never get it done in time! What do we do?

!sis: Although it's strange for a Pokémon breeder

to not know how Bibarel was feeling.

It's kind of embarrassing.

EXPERT: Well, if you can work together with your Pokémon

the way you just did, then I can guarantee you,

you'll make an excellent Pokémon breeder before you even know!

BROCK: Oh, I agree percent!

EXPERT: And thanks to all of you fine folks for your hard work!

EXPERT: A token of my appreciation.

ASH: Wow, thanks a lot! It'll be perfect when I'm working hard!

DAWN: And this will look great when I'm competing in a contest!

PIPLUP: [PLEASED]

-BROCK: One thing, !sis. -!sis: Yes?

BROCK: I was wondering if you would

build us a bridge of love connecting our hearts forever?

!sis: Brock, you don't look so good!

NARRATOR: A brief interlude for a certain Pokémon breeder

to get back on his feet,

and our heroes are once again on the road to Solaceon Town

now with the satisfaction of

having helped a new friend in need!
