12x53 - Gotta Get a Gible!

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: As our heroes make their way toward Daybreak Town

and Dawn's next Pokémon Contest, the peace and quiet of the

forest is about to be rudely interrupted.

JESSIE: The glorious day has come!

JAMES: When we unveil our ultra-expensive

new Blastobot Two!

MEOWTH: Proving a Pikachu in the paw is worth two for the Twerp!

Who's that?

JAMES: It's the Gible we had a recent run-in with.

GIBLE: [THREATENING]

JESSIE: Move it, squat little squirt!

GIBLE: [AFFIRMATIVE]

JAMES: You said that you would, now time to make good!

GIBLE: [AFFIRMATIVE]

MEOWTH: I got just the thing to get you trembling on those tiny

feet! Blastobot!

GIBLE: [DETERMINED]

MEOWTH: Quit munching the merchandise!

JAMES: Stop!

JESSIE: Those are not empty calories!

MEOWTH: Taste good?

GIBLE: [SATISFIED]

PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

MEOWTH: That jerk has got ostentatious-itis!

JESSIE: Ostentatious-itis?

MEOWTH: It's where you're so stuck up you're sick!

JAMES: Say! Perhaps ostentatious-itis is the very

affliction that may teach one of us how not to

behave in the future!

JESSIE: Ah! How I love learning!

As long as it's not me being taught!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: While we're blasting off again!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

Sometimes it's hard to know,

Which way you're supposed to go.

But deep inside, you know you're strong.

If you follow your heart, you can't be wrong.

Stand up! [Stand up!]

For what is right.

Be brave!

Get ready to fight.

Hold on! [Hold on!]

We're friends for life.

And if we come, together as one,

Complete the quest, that we've begun,

We will win the battle!

Galactic Battles! Pokémon!

ASH: Yes! A town, and that means food! What do you say we get

something to eat, Pikachu? PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

DAWN: We need to go to the Pokémon Center first!

BROCK: So! Pokégear? Help us find the location!

GIBLE: [PLAYFUL]

ASH: Whoa! Hey, Pikachu, did you just poke my leg?

ASH: That's strange Who's that?

BROCK: What's wrong, Ash?

ASH: Someone keeps poking my leg. Weird!

DAWN, BROCK, PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

DAWN: Look who's here!

BROCK: Wow, that's the same Gible who's

Grandma Wilma's friend!

GIBLE: [AFFECTIONATE]

BROCK: Gible sure looks happy chomping on your head.

DAWN: Ash, I'll bet you anything this Gible likes you lots!

BROCK: Gible was awfully happy when it learned Draco Meteor the

other day, and it was all because of working

- so hard with you! - ASH: Are they right, Gible?

GIBLE: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: Do you want to come with me?

GIBLE: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: Awesome! Then I'm just going to catch you!

Poké Ball, let's go!

GIBLE: [EXERTION]

PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [SHOCKED]

DAWN: No way! GIBLE: [SATISFIED]

BROCK, DAWN, PIPLUP, PIKACHU: [CONFUSED]

ASH: Wait! So you don't want to come with me, Gible?

GIBLE: [AFFIRMATIVE] ASH: But you just said you did!

GIBLE: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: Make up your mind, Gible, which is it?

GIBLE: [AFFECTIONATE]

DAWN, BROCK, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [CONFUSED]

BROCK: Officer Jenny! Your siren is nothing compared to the siren

in my heart when confronted with your beauty! Put me under arrest

with those eyes Later.

OFFICER JENNY: So this is your Gible, right?

ASH: Well, you see GIBLE: [AFFIRMATIVE]

OFFICER JENNY: It's nodding yes, so it's yours, right?

GIBLE: [AFFIRMATIVE] ASH: See, but it's not!

OFFICER JENNY: It can't be yes and no.

GIBLE: [AGGRESSIVE]

- OFFICER JENNY: Stop! - ASH: Cut it out, Gible!

ASH: Man! Come on, Gible!

OFFICER JENNY: Young man, I do think you need to look after

your Pokémon a bit better in the future!

ASH: The truth is, I was just trying to catch it when you

showed up, but no luck!

DAWN: This Gible is still a wild Pokémon at this point!

OFFICER JENNY: Oh, I see.

BROCK: So, Jenny, is something not right?

OFFICER JENNY: I'll show you, but you won't believe it.

Come have a look!

ASH: What happened here?

DAWN: Everything has a bite taken out of it!

- BROCK: This is awful! - ASH: Hey, it's Gible!

GIBLE: [GREETING]

ASH: Now tell the truth! Did you do all of this?

GIBLE: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: Well, what you did is really bad!

GIBLE: [AGGRESSIVE]

ASH: Look, I told you to knock it off, Gible!

Gible, you're causing a whole lot of trouble to a lot of

people, see? Don't ever do that again!

ASH: You're driving me crazy with all of this biting stuff!

Didn't you hear anything I'm telling you, Gible?

DAWN: Uh, no.

GIBLE: [EXERTION]

- ASH: Gible, slow down! - OFFICER JENNY: Come back!

BARRY: Ash! Get out of my way!

DAWN: Whoa, it's Barry!

BROCK: Hey, are you two all right?

BARRY: All right, Ash, what's with you?

I'm fining you for getting in my way! Pay up in ten seconds!

Nine, eight, seven, six...

ASH: You're the one who slammed into me!

BARRY: Well, you're the one who didn't move!

ASH: Maybe you should learn how to ride a bike!

BARRY: Forget it! Let's have a Pokémon battle!

Have you gotten any better?

ASH: Sure! Lots better than you!

BARRY: So how many badges have you won?

ASH: Seven of them!

BARRY: Poor Ash! You've only got seven, huh?

ASH: How many do you have?

BARRY: Keep your shirt on! Six, see?

- ASH: Yeah, I see. - DAWN: Six is less than seven.

BARRY: It doesn't matter how many badges I have! I'm way more

talented than Ash anyway, get it?

ASH: Yeah? All right, then, let's battle!

BARRY: You're on, kid!

BROCK: Now! Let's all take a deep breath.

DAWN: Good idea! But Barry, last we talked to you, you said you

were headed to Sunyshore City, right?

BARRY: I was headed for Sunyshore City, but then I heard

that Eterna City was giving away bikes for free,

so I thought I'd go there first!

DAWN: Bicycles for free?

BARRY: After that, I stopped by the Hearthome City Gym

to challenge Fantina to a battle, but she wasn't there.

- Again! - ASH: Surprise!

BARRY: But check this! See?

I've got me a genuine Hearthome City Gym Challenger ticket,

and I'm first in line!

ASH: Gee, Barry, that's too bad you haven't been able to get a

Relic Badge yet, huh?

BARRY: For your information, I haven't had the time to battle

Fantina yet! But now that I have a bike, I'll really be able to

move. Hey, where did my bike go?

GIBLE: [SATISFIED]

BARRY: I can't believe that you would have the nerve to eat my

bicycle! I'm going to fine you

JESSIE: Guess bikes are on the menu as well.

MEOWTH:That gormandizing Gible would make a gloriously, groovy

gift for the boss ya know.

JAMES: Well, at least he's not made out of metal.

MEOWTH: Be creative and think outside the box for a change!

Picture the Boss having to go through the annoying inventory

of outdated weaponry thrown out on the scrapheap of Team Rocket

rubble! Boring and scary!

MEOWTH: Now dig! Team Rocket may deny the evils of truth and

love, but we don't ever dump recyclables! Even Pokémon

thieves gotta be responsible citizens of the planet!

And that's where our Gible will come in mightily handy!

GIOVANNI [MEOWTH] : Yeah! GIBLE, [MEOWTH] : [DETERMINED]

GIOVANNI [MEOWTH]: Thanks to the gift of Gible by Meowth and

friends, I can keep it clean and make it green! And now it's time

to give them the gift of green, if you know what I mean.

MEOWTH: Ready, kids?

JESSIE, JAMES: Save the planet.

Grab that Gible. Make a lot of dough!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

JAMES: We'll go green and be rolling in green while the

Twerps are green with envy!

BARRY: I want a brand-new bike right now!

ASH: I told you not to do that, didn't I, Gible?

GIBLE: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: You understand any of this?

BARRY: What a piece of work!

Ever heard of training your Pokémon to have some manners?

BROCK: To be honest, Ash hasn't caught this Gible just yet.

- DAWN: It's a wild Pokémon! - BARRY: It's wild?

If that's the case, I'm going to catch this

Gible myself! Ready or not, here I come!

ASH: Hold on, Barry!

BARRY: Come on, come on, come on, what's wrong now?

ASH: I was planning on catching this Gible, Barry, see?

BARRY: It's first come, first served! Empoleon!

EMPOLEON: [APPEARING]

BARRY: Now, Drill Peck, let's go!

EMPOLEON: [DRILL PECK MOVE]

ASH, PIKACHU, GIBLE: [EXERTION]

- BROCK: Nice dodge, Gible! - DAWN: Wow, Gible's quick!

GIBLE: [att*ck]

BARRY: Dodge it, Empoleon!

EMPOLEON: [EXERTION]

BARRY: Use Steel Wing!

EMPOLEON: [STEEL WING MOVE]

GIBLE: [IMPACT]

BARRY: Use Hydro Cannon, now!

EMPOLEON: [HYDRO CANNON MOVE]

GIBLE: [PAINED]

- PIKACHU: Gible! - BROCK: Ash, wait up!

DAWN: Slow down!

BARRY: That's what I call honest-to-goodness talent!

I forgot to catch it! What is wrong with me?

EMPOLEON: [RESIGNED]

ASH: Gible! PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

ASH: Sounds like Gible!

GIBLE: [STRUGGLING]

ASH: Gible! I'll help you get out of there, Gible!

GIBLE: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: Hold on, okay?

GIBLE: [AFFIRMATIVE]

PIKACHU: [WORRIED]

GIBLE: [WORRIED]

PIKACHU: [WORRIED]

GIBLE: [STRUGGLING]

ASH: Wow, Gible.

GIBLE: [STRUGGLING]

ASH: All this for me?

Come on, let's get out of here!

GIBLE: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: Thanks for helping me, Gible!

- ASH: Hey, that hurts! - DAWN: Ash!

BROCK: Are you okay?

ASH: Yeah, guys, I'm doing just fine! Can I count on you, Gible?

GIBLE: [EXCITED]

ASH: Yeah!

ASH,GIBLE: Gible, awesome job! GIBLE: [PLEASED]

- DAWN: Ash, are you okay? - ASH: Yeah!

BROCK: I'm so glad you're all right!

DAWN: See, that's what can happen when you don't listen!

GIBLE: [SHOCKED]

JESSIE: You don't listen so well yourself!

JAMES: So we showed up to put you on the shelf!

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

MEOWTH: You Twerpish elf!

JESSIE: Bringing chaos at a breakneck pace!

JAMES: Dashing hope, putting fear in its place!

JESSIE: You ruined our robot, and now you must pay!

JAMES: We've turned things around and recycled our day!

- JESSIE: Jessie! - JAMES: And James!

MEOWTH: Meowth, that's a name!

JESSIE: b*ating do-gooders while going green!

JAMES: Because we're Team Rocket!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Now aren't we keen?

ASH: All right! Give Gible back!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: When Gible stops biting!

GIBLE: [AGGRESSIVE] / [SURPRISED]

MEOWTH: Since I knew that would happen, I made everything in our

robo-recycled Blastobot hard as nails!

JESSIE: It whales! R.R.B.B. never fails!

ASH, DAWN, BROCK, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [SCARED]

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Happy trails!

ASH: Gible, no!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Strolling through the park one day.

GIBLE: [STRUGGLING] / [SURPRISED]

ASH: Gible!

PIKACHU: [CALLING] GIBLE: [EXCITED]

ASH: Gible, hang in there!

JAMES: Over the top, Twerp!

JESSIE: Major roadblocks! Love hard knocks.

MEOWTH: Okay, Blastobot! Super jump! Over the hump!

JESSIE, JAMES: Over the hump!

MEOWTH: Not bad for a big bot.

ASH: Jump, Pikachu!

GIBLE: [WORRIED]

ASH,PIKACHU: I'm coming, Gible!

GIBLE: [WORRIED]

ASH: Let us go!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Who's kidding who?

DAWN: Ash! Pikachu! PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

BROCK: There's a suspension bridge!

DAWN: Let's go, Brock! PIPLUP: [DETERMINED]

ASH: Don't worry, Gible, we'll get you out of here!

JAMES: That empty promise and a dollar will buy you

a whole pound of stupidity!

JESSIE: I suggest that we toss the Twerp clean off the cliff!

MEOWTH: Uh, may I remind you that illegal dumping

is totally against the law.

JESSIE: Trash, yes. Twerps, no.

MEOWTH: Ah! Works for me!

ASH: Oh yeah, I forgot that Gible's a Ground-type Pokémon,

and Electric-type moves won't have any effect! Gible, hang in

there a little longer, okay?

ASH: Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

ASH: Yeah, now don't hold back and go for it!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

GIBLE: [AMAZED]

PIKACHU: Okay, Pikachu, use Iron Tail!

PIKACHU: [IRON TAIL MOVE]

GIBLE: [EXCITED]

ASH: There you go!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

ASH: Pikachu, great job!

PIKACHU: [PLEASED] GIBLE: [AFFECTIONATE]

MEOWTH: Blastobot, rock!

MEOWTH: Explain that!

JAMES: You see, since it's a recycled robot,

we boughtrecycled parts from a junkyard!

MEOWTH: Junkyard?

JESSIE: I guess we could've used proper wiring instead

- of some old coat hangers. - MEOWTH: Coat hangers?

MEOWTH: I wonder if you figured out who suffers from

ostentatious-itis yet?

JAMES: This is hardly the time for a guessing game.

JESSIE: I'm humble Jess. What's to guess?

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

- DAWN: Hey, Ash! - BROCK: You all okay?

ASH: Yeah. And Gible's okay, too!

ASH: Come on, Gible, that tickles!

DAWN: There you go! It's obvious Gible really likes Ash!

BROCK: It sure is!

ASH: Now, Gible, I'll ask again! Do you want to come with me?

GIBLE: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: Okay! Go, Poké Ball!

GIBLE: [EXCITED]

ASH: I did it, yeah! I got a Gible!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

DAWN: Ash, that's great!

ASH: Yeah! Okay, Gible, come on out!

GIBLE: [APPEARING]

ASH: You're part of the family, Gible!

BARRY: Hey, exactly what do you think you're doing, Ash?

If you'll remember, I was going to catch that Gible!

GIBLE: [AGGRESSIVE]

ASH: Stop! Quit it, Gible!

BARRY: I'm fining you for that,

and you have ten seconds to pay up!

BROCK: Now, now!

DAWN: The truth is, that Gible likes Ash so much that

it made the effort to follow him all the way over here!

ASH: Barry I was trying to catch it when you showed up, see?

BARRY: Come on, Ash, you should've said

so in the first place!

ASH: Excuse me, I tried to, but you wouldn't listen!

BARRY: All right then, Ash, let's you and I have a battle

between your Gible and my Empoleon, okay?

ASH: Sure! Want to battle, Gible?

GIBLE: [EXCITED]

ASH: All right, Barry, let's do it!

BROCK: The battle will be one on one with no substitutions!

And begin!

BARRY: Empoleon, let's win this with Drill Peck!

EMPOLEON: [DRILL PECK MOVE]

ASH: Now, Gible, counter it with Rock Smash!

GIBLE: [ROCK SMASH MOVE]

EMPOLEON/GIBLE: [BATTLING]

DAWN: I shouldn't be surprised, but Empoleon's stronger.

BARRY: All right! Use Drill Peck one more time!

ASH: Empoleon may be stronger,

so focus your energy and counter it with Rock Smash again!

DAWN: That must've encouraged Giblelook at that!

BARRY: Use Steel Wing!

ASH: Dodge it!

GIBLE: [SCARED]

ASH: Gible, no!

BARRY: Keep it up and use Steel Wing once more!

ASH: Gible, use Dig!

ASH: Yes! Now Rock Smash!

BARRY: Empoleon, Steel Wing!

BARRY: Keep it up with Hydro Cannon, go!

ASH: Use Dig and dodge it!

BARRY: Now, aim it into that hole!

ASH: Oh no!

GIBLE: [PAINED]

ASH: Hey, Gible! PIKACHU: [WORRIED]

GIBLE: [FOCUSED]

ASH: Whoa! That can't be Draco Meteor!

Don't use it without my command! PIPLUP: [SCARED]

DAWN: Piplup, wait!

GIBLE: [DRACO METEOR MOVE]

EMPOLEON: [DETERMINED]

PIPLUP: [SCARED] / [RELIEVED]

BARRY: Hit it back!

EMPOLEON: [att*ck] PIPLUP: [STUNNED]

BARRY: Yeah! Let's wrap this up right now! Hyper Beam, let's go!

EMPOLEON: [HYPER BEAM MOVE]

ASH: Now what's Gible trying to do?

Gible, from now on, you've got to listen to me!

DAWN: Wow, that was Dragon Pulse!

BARRY: Dodge it, quick!

EMPOLEON: [EXERTION] GIBLE: [TIRED]

ASH: Come on, get it together, Gible!

BARRY: Empoleon, use Hyper Beam!

EMPOLEON: [HYPER BEAM MOVE]

ASH: Gible!

BROCK: Gible is unable to battle! Empoleon is victorious!

Barry gets the win!

BARRY: All right! All right! We did it! Empoleon!

We did it! We did it! EMPOLEON: [PROUD]

ASH: Are you okay, Gible? GIBLE: [SURPRISED]

ASH: You battled really well! GIBLE: [PLEASED]

ASH: Don't let it go to your head, though. Make sure you

listen to my commands from now on, okay?

GIBLE: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: Wow, are you really paying

attention to what I'm saying, Gible?

ASH: Ow! Cut it out! PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

DAWN: No doubt those two will be a great team!

BROCK: Yeah! And I can't wait to see how

Ash is going to raise it!

BARRY: You know, at this rate, I'm going to become the top

Pokémon Trainer in the entire world in no time flat!

- Like that! - DAWN: But Barry, don't forget

you'll need to b*at Fantina first!

BARRY: Don't you think I know that? Don't forget about my

challenger ticket! I'm number one!

NARRATOR: Ash may have lost his Pokémon battle against Barry,

but he's gained his newest Pokémon friend, Gible! So our

heroes again set their sights on Daybreak Town and Dawn's next

contest, while the journey continues!
