Post by bunniefuu »

NARRATOR: With the first two exciting days

of Pokémon Summer Academy behind them, our Heroes,

along with all kinds of new friends, people, and Pokémon

alike are determinedly heading into Day Three!

NARRATOR: And that includes a couple

of new rivals worth cheering!

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]

ROWAN: Now, what do you say to something a little different?

ROWAN: Good! Because, today I'd like you to

observe the Water-type Pokémon in this lake.

YUZO: Now, as you can see,

these waters are teeming with many kinds of Pokémon,

and the choice of which kind to focus on

is completely up to you!

YUZO: You may express your findings in a report, sketch,

or any way you choose.

YUZO: But your grade will be based on a final presentation!

YUZO: You may work on your own, or in groups if you prefer.

ROWAN: But because the Water-type Pokémon in this

lake area are still being researched

they are not allowed to be caught!

YUZO: Also, please remember leaving the area is forbidden.

Priority One is safety first!

ASH: Right! Pikachu!

ASH: Let's go check out some Water-type Pokémon

and get an A plus!

PIKACHU: [ENTHUSIASTIC]

ANGIE: Well, you're not getting ahead of me!

ANGIE: All right Shinx, what do you say we move?

DAWN: Us too! What do you say we b*at them all, Piplup?

SHINX: [AGREEABLE] PIPLUP: [SMUG]

ROWAN: Right! Off you go!

ASH: WOW! I'll bet those are a blast!

DAWN: They'd be a great way to observe Pokémon.

ANGIE: Sure would!

ASH: What's that?

PIKACHU: [ENTRANCED]

PIKACHU: [TRANSFIXED]

ASH: Hey! You okay, Pikachu?

PIKACHU: [ALERT]

ASH: You were acting weird!

PIKACHU: [UNSURE]

ASH: That's strange.

ASH: I wonder what that light was!

ANGIE: Hey Ash! Want to take a boat with me?

ASH: Sure, let's go!

BROCK: So Dawn, let's grab the other one.

DAWN: Right!

JESSIE: It's important to remember ultra-violet rays

can be skin's worst enemy!

JESSIE: So please! Smooth and steady as she goes, men.

BOYS A&B: Aye aye! Ms. Jessilinda!

JESSIE: And if you're extra smooth

I'll let you observe my Water-type Pokémon for me!

BOYS A&B: Thank you! It would be an honor Miss Jessilinda!

JAMES: Our Jessie certainly knows how to run a tight ship!

MEOWTH: With all those ocean liners named after queens,

I'm not surprised!

JAMES: True, though I fear our queen may have forgotten

we've really come here to swipe the school's Pokémon!

MEOWTH: When it comes down to Jessie and hero worship,

don't hold your breath!

SEEL: [INTRIGUED] POLIWAG: [FRIENDLY]

ASH: Wow, look there's a Seel and a Poliwag!

ANGIE: Hey! And there's a Chinchou over there!

PIKACHU: [PLEASED]

HUNTAIL, HORSEA: [HAPPY]

BROCK: A Huntail and a Horsea!

PIPLUP: [IMPRESSED]

DAWN: This lake has all kinds of Pokémon!

DEWGONG: [FROLICKING]

ASH, ANGIE, PIKACHU, SHINX: [BRACING]

ANGIE: What's that?

ASH: A Dewgong! SHINX: [CURIOUS]

ASH: And a really healthy Dewgong too!

ASH: I've got it!

I'm gonna observe that Dewgong for my project!

ANGIE: Sounds like a plan to me!

SEALEO: [GREETING]

ANGIE: And that?

ASH: A Sealeo! Cool!

ANGIE: Wow! A Sealeo, huh?

ANGIE: Now there's one strong and healthy Pokémon for sure!

ANGIE: Of course that's the perfect choice for me!

GOREBYSS: [SERENE]

DAWN: What's that?

BROCK: It's a Gorebyss!

DAWN: Wow!

CONWAY: Gorebyss. The South Sea Pokémon.

Its long, beautiful pink body is more vivid in the springtime.

DAWN: What do you want?

CONWAY: To offer my help!

CONWAY: My encyclopedic grasp of Pokémon is yours for the asking!

DAWN: I'm going to observe that Gorebyss!

It's the prettiest thing!

BROCK: Well as for me...

CHINCHOU: [HAPPY]

BROCK: Chinchou! It's a done deal!

JESSIE: Okay, men.

JESSIE: Have you decided which Pokémon

you're going to observe for me?

BOY A: Yes, Miss Jessalinda, we've decided on a Relicanth!

JESSIE: A Relicanth?

BOY B: Over there!

RELICANTH: [SERENE]

JESSIE: Ugh! That thing is so ugly it hurts my eyes!

I need a Pokémon that matches my beauty, not insults it!

BOY A: Oh! What kind of Pokémon did you have in mind?

JESSIE: Elegant! Like the suave Suicune!

Or perhaps the cute Manaphy!

BOY A: There's just one thing!

BOY B: I don't think there are any Suicune or Manaphy

in this lake Ms. Jessilinda.

JESSIE: Don't you bore me with details!! Capisce?

BOYS:: Sorry Ms. Jessalinda!

We'll never do it AGAIN!

DEWGONG: [HAPPY]

SEALEO: [CONTENT]

DEWGONG, SEALEO: [TIRED]

ASH: You're blocking my view of the Dewgong!

ANGIE: Well, my Sealeo went the other way!

ASH: We're going that way!

ANGIE: No, we're going that way!

PIKACHU: [EXASPERATED]

JAMES: It is rather enjoyable to have a decent place to sleep.

MEOWTH: Yeah, and great grub!

MEOWTH, JAMES: Nice weather we've been having too!

JAMES, MEOWTH: When you're feeling this great

those Pokémon can wait!

DEWGONG: [RELAXING]

ASH: Okay, I give. What's that?

ANGIE: I was gonna ask you the same thing!

ASH: C'mon, this looks like a great Dewgong!

ANGIE: Well mine is the spitting image of a Sealeo!

ASH: Yeah, what picture are you looking at?

Looks like a snowman to me.

ANGIE: Well it's better to look like a snowman than an alien.

-ASH: Says who? -ANGIE: Says me!

SHINX: [WORRIED]

ASH: If we give Professor Rowan these sketches

we're gonna flunk!

But, if we got closer to the Pokémon...

ANGIE: Yeah! I think you're on to something!

DAWN: Do you think they're talking about

jumping in and swimming with them?

BROCK: Yeah!

ASH: You've got to be in the water

to check out Water-type Pokémon!

ANGIE: For sure!

DAWN: The Gorebyss is even prettier underwater!

CHINCHOU: [GREETING]

BROCK: Chinchou give off electricity

through their feelers, see?

ANGIE: Cool!

JESSIE: Yummy!

JESSIE: So men, have you found

a Pokémon that matches me in all my glory?

BOY A: You bet!

BOY B: So say hello to a Pokémon that matches you to a tee!

BOY A, BOY B: Carvanha!

CARVANHA: [AGGRESSIVE]

BOY A: Check out that aggression!

How it looked just like it was gonna bite!

BOY B: Yeah, just like you! Perfect! So, what do you think?

JESSIE: Want to know what I think?

I think you're going to regret thinking!

ASH: I didn't know a Dewgong's horn was so hard!

DEWGONG: [RELAXED]

ANGIE: Amazing! I get it!

You're using your nose to get to know me aren't you?

SEALEO: [NUZZLING] CHINCHOU: [SAVORING]

BROCK: Ah ha! Chinchou really likes the flavor of this food!

DAWN: I knew Gorebyss was pretty

but up close like this Gorebyss is just gorgeous!

GOREBYSS: [FLATTERED]

ASH: Let's observe them a little more and then get to work!

BROCK: Right! Then finally comes the report.

ANGIE: Oh goody. When to comes to reports, I'm the worst!

ASH: No, I am.

DAWN: Nope, me!

CONWAY: Fear not Dawn!

For I'd be happy to transcribe your thoughts!

DAWN: What do you mean transcribe?

CONWAY: Elementary!

It simply means you do the talking

CONWAY: and then I'll write everything you say down

and turn it into the perfect report! See?

DAWN: Uh, thank you

but I think I have to write the report myself.

CONWAY: As you wish. But if you decide to change your mind,

I'll be around, okay? Okay.

SHINX: [ENTRANCED]

ASH: 'Kay! Let's finish this up!

ANGIE: Hold on.

ASH: Angie what's wrong?

ANGIE: All of a sudden Shinx is missing!

ASH: Missing?

PIKACHU: [CONFUSED]

DAWN: Piplup weren't you and Shinx playing together?

PIPLUP: [DISAGREEING]

BROCK: Let's go look!

ASH: Okay!

ANGIE: Shinx!!

ASH: Shinx where are you?

DAWN: Hey Shinx?!

PIKACHU: [SEARCHING]

PIPLUP: [NOTICING]

ASH: There's that light again!

DAWN: What do you mean again?

ASH: It flashed before over there!

PIPLUP: [DAZED]

DAWN: Piplup, what's wrong with you?

PIPLUP: [ALERT]

DAWN: But why?

ASH: The same result!

DAWN: Result?

ASH: Yeah. First that light flashed,

and then Pikachu's eyes got all spacey.

PIKACHU: [ENTRANCED]

CONWAY: Interesting.

CONWAY: If that is in fact what happened

then the legend may end up being true!

DAWN: What legend?

CONWAY: You see,

there's a famous legend concerning this lake.

CONWAY: It says that when a strange blue light flashes,

Pokémon start vanishing!

ASH: Man, I don't like that legend at all.

Strange blue light?

DAWN: And then Pokémon vanish?

CONWAY: Well, with Shinx disappearing,

it may just have something to do with that legend, get it?

ASH: We've got to do something!

ANGIE: You're right!

I say we head over to where that light is coming from!

DAWN: Piplup!

CONWAY: Hey folks, remember

we're not allowed to go far from the lake!

CONWAY: But if Dawn's going I guess there's not much I can do.

JAMES: That flash has lots of zing!

MEOWTH: You mean like some treasure-type bling?

JAMES: I was thinking the same thing!

ANGIE, DAWN, BROCK, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [CURIOUS]

-ASH: Which way? -DAWN: Well, if I remember...

CONWAY: It was directly northwest of here.

DAWN: You don't have to come with us.

CONWAY: No no, I want to soak in everything I possibly can

about Pokémon!

JESSIE: Perfect!

JESSIE: The left, that's it. Oh, that's great.

JESSIE: What do you want?

CONWAY: I'm quite confident Shinx is around here!

DAWN: There's something creepy about this place.

CONWAY: Not to worry!

No matter what happens rest assured I'll protect you.

CONWAY: HELLLLP MEEE!

ASH: Man it's really coming down!

ANGIE: I sure hope that Shinx's okay.

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

PIPLUP: [SAD]

BROCK: I think we should take a break for a while.

CONWAY: Look at this!

CONWAY: That's right! The legend states:

"The strange blue light comes forth from the green cave."

ANGIE: Looks green to me!

DAWN: Then that means the light from the legend is back there?

ASH: Then we've got to go look!

PIKACHU: [SEARCHING]

DAWN: That is the light!

PIKACHU: [ENTRANCED] ASH: C'mon Pikachu!

Keep it together! PIKACHU: [ALERT]

BROCK: Then something's got to be back there!

ANGIE: Shinx should be there too!

ANGIE: SHIIINX! Where are you? Shinx!

ASH: Shinx come out!

DAWN: Let us know where you are!

PIKACHU: [SEARCHING]

PIPLUP: [CALLING]

ASH: Don't look! PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [HIDING]

PIPLUP: [ENTRANCED]

DAWN: No Piplup, snap out of it!

PIPLUP: [ALERT]

ANGIE: So that's it!

ASH: This is where the strange blue light's coming from!

LUMINEON: [APPEARING]

-ASH: What's that? -BROCK: A Lumineon!

DAWN: Lumineon?

CONWAY: Lumineon, the Neon Pokémon.

Lumineon lives in the ocean's depths.

CONWAY: It lures Pokémon by flashing light

in the pattern of its tail fins.

BROCK: So it was Lumineon's light we were seeing!

DAWN: Lumineon's beautiful!

CONWAY: It's strange.

CONWAY: A Lumineon shouldn't be in a place like this!

BROCK: Yeah, you're right.

SHINX: [ENTRANCED]

ALL: [CURIOUS]

SHINX: [ENTRANCED]

ANGIE: Shinx!

ANGIE: Pull yourself together, Shinx!

SHINX: [ALERT]

ANGIE: I can't tell you how worried I was!

SHINX: [DISORIENTED]

ASH: Now that we've found Shinx, we can breathe again!

DAWN: Yeah, and we know where the light's coming from too!

BROCK: You're right, but...

BROCK: We have no idea why Lumineon's here!

If we could get to the bottom of that,

think of the great report we could do!

-ASH: You're right! -ANGIE: What a great idea!

DAWN: Let's do it!

CONWAY: I'd like to be a part of this as well.

JESSIE: Hold on a minute!

JESSIE: It appears I've finally found a Pokémon that matches me!

CONWAY: I know you! You're Jessilinda,

the leader of the Green Team!

JESSIE: That's MISS Jessalinda, buster!

JESSIE: That Lumineon, perfect for someone beautiful, elegant,

and refined like myself!

JESSIE: And luring all kinds of Pokémon

doesn't exactly hurt either!

JESSIE: I'll catch it, and then observe it,

and write a report on it!

You can just go find something else!

ASH: Don't you remember,

it's against the rules to catch a Pokémon?

DAWN: Of course! Professor Rowan said so!

JESSIE: Talk is cheap young lady,

I catch whatever I want to catch! That's my rule!

DAWN: You know Brock that sounds like a Team Rocket line.

ANGIE: Hold on! We found that Lumineon first and you know it!

JESSIE: Foolish talk from a loser!

Yanmega let's go!

YANMEGA: [APPEARING]

ASH: You'll have to get through us!

DAWN, ANGIE: YEAH!

CONWAY: Please! If you don't mind I'd like to handle this!

CONWAY: Dawn, I'll wage this battle for you!

DAWN: Ohh kayy.

CONWAY: Come forth.

CONWAY: SLOWKING!

SLOWKING: [APPEARING]

JESSIE: Well!

We're not the sharpest tool in the shed are we?

CONWAY: Over-confidence can be bad for your health.

JESSIE: Yanmega! Use Sonic Boom!

YANMEGA: [SONIC BOOM MOVE]

CONWAY: Quick Slowking! Protect!

SLOWKING: [PROTECT MOVE]

DAWN: Slowking's Protect's as strong as ever!

CONWAY: How nice! I'm honored you remembered that!

Thank you. I owe you one!

CONWAY: Which I intend to pay right now!

Slowking, Water Pulse!

SLOWKING: [WATER PULSE MOVE]

YANMEGA: [STRUGGLING] YANMEGA: [REELING]

JESSIE: Don't take that from a dolt! Use Steel Wing, go!

YANMEGA: [STEEL WING MOVE]

CONWAY: Protect, once more!

SLOWKING: [PROTECT MOVE]

YANMEGA: [STRUGGLING]

SLOWKING: [DOMINATING]

JESSIE: I'm too cute for this!

CONWAY: Let's wrap this thing up!

Psychic let's go!

SLOWKING: [PSYCHIC MOVE]

YANMEGA: [TRANSFIXED]

ASH: Awesome!

BROCK: That Psychic did the trick!

JESSIE: No! Don't do something, stand there!

CONWAY: Not a chance!

SLOWKING: [ATTACKING]

YANMEGA: [REELING]

JESSIE, YANMEGA: [DAZED]

MEOWTH: I guess that blows the treasure concept.

JAMES: Enough blowing concepts for one day.

JAMES, MEOWTH, WOBBUFFET: [SAD]

CONWAY: Jessalinda, wait! Oh my.

CONWAY: She's gone!

DAWN: She's probably embarrassed right about now.

ASH: So! Let's observe the Lumineon!

ANGIE, BROCK, DAWN: Right!

ANGIE: What? The Lumineon's gone!

DAWN: It may've gotten scared from all the noise

and hid underwater!

ASH: Okay Buizel!

BUIZEL: [READY]

ASH: Will you help us look for the Lumineon?

BUIZEL: [AGREEING]

DAWN: But keep an eye out for its blue light!

ASH: We know that!

ASH: Let's go!

BROCK: What's this?

DAWN: Did you find anything?

ASH: Nope. Lumineon's gone.

BUIZEL: [AGREEING]

ASH: But we did see a tunnel at the bottom of the lake.

It may've used that.

ANGIE: A tunnel?

BROCK: That's it!

BROCK: I would think that tunnel is

probably connected to the ocean, you know?

CONWAY: That sounds like a logical assumption to me, Brock.

BROCK: So maybe the Lumineon uses the tunnel

to travel here from wherever it's living!

CONWAY: But why in the world would it want to come here?

BROCK: Look at this!

BROCK: That seaweed is a favorite of Water-type Pokémon,

and it looks like a lot of it has been eaten.

BROCK: The thing is,

I don't see a trace of any other Pokémon here.

So the Lumineon must be the one eating it all!

CONWAY: Wow, excellent detective work!

ANGIE: You figured that out just by looking.

ASH: Of course!

Anyone aiming to become top Pokémon Breeder's

got to be smart!

ANGIE: Awesome!

DAWN: Sounds like we're going to give a great report!

ANGIE, ASH: Yeah!

CONWAY: And don't forget my transcribing offer still stands.

DAWN: Maybe that'll be fine!

ASH: Well, looks like the rain stopped.

DAWN: Hey, look up there!

ALL: [CURIOUS]

ANGIE: Wow, what a gorgeous rainbow!

ASH: Great! Time to head back!

ANGIE, DAWN, BROCK: Right!

CONWAY: Not a sad face to be seen!

ANGIE: And so...

ANGIE: The Lumineon travels to the cave.

ANGIE: Using an underwater tunnel

as it makes its way from its home in the ocean.

DAWN: Then it flashes a light from its four fins!

ASH: And that powerful blue light

has the ability to lure other Pokémon right to it!

ANGIE: I know it because

it lured my Shinx away into the cave!

DAWN: It affected Pikachu and Piplup too!

PIKACHU, SHINX: [SHEEPISH] PIPLUP: [SMUG]

DAWN: Stop! You don't have to be a showoff.

BROCK: So, from this, we can conclude that

the Lumineon comes to the cave in order to eat the seaweed,

which is proven Water-type Pokémon love to eat!

DAWN: And, with that we conclude our report.

PIKACHU, SHINX, PIPLUP: [JOYFUL]

ROWAN: An exceptional report indeed.

I give you all a full ten points!

BROCK, ASH, ANGIE, DAWN: All right!

ROWAN: However,

you all left the lake area without asking permission.

ROWAN: Do you have any idea how worried we were about you?

YUZO: For breaking the rules we will subtract four points each.

Which leaves you all with six points!

BROCK, ASH, ANGIE, DAWN: Thank you!

JESSIE: Of course, this is a good lesson for you kids!

Now you know you can't just do what you want!

YUZO: Excuse me,

but since you left the lake too you lose four points as well!

JESSIE: So!

Proving once again that you two schlubs aren't good for beans!

BOY A, BOY B: Sorry Ms. Jessalinda, sorry.

YUZO: Conway, I'm afraid

you'll be losing four of your points too!

CONWAY: Hey that's less than I expected!

ROWAN: So the Lumineon is back, eh?

ROWAN: Albeit a little early this year.

JESSIE: Make those windows shine, spic and span!

MALE STUDENTS: Yes Ms. Jessalinda, right away!

ASH: We got a perfect score but

we still had four points taken off!

ANGIE: Look at the bright side,

I mean we got to see the Lumineon!

DAWN: It was so beautiful I couldn't believe it!

-BROCK: True! -ASH: Yeah, you're right!

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

ASH: Sure hope we get to see Lumineon again.

NARRATOR: A series of close encounters

some new food for thought!

NARRATOR: And with the completion of Day Three,
