[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: With fond memories of the Grand Festival

accompanying them, our heroes continue on to Sunyshore City,

home of the Sunyshore Gym,

where Ash hopes to earn his eighth badge. Suddenly...

JESSIE: Seviper! Poison Tail, pronto!

SEVIPER: [POISON TAIL MOVE]

TORTERRA: [EXERTION]

ASH: Awesome, Torterra! Use Rock Climb!

TORTERRA: [ROCK CLIMB MOVE]

SEVIPER: [STARTLED]

TORTERRA: [EXERTION]

SEVIPER: [IMPACT]

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

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

It's about you It's about me

It's about hope It's about dreams

It's about friends that work together

To claim their destiny

It's about reaching for the skies

Pokemon!

Given the courage And willing to try

It's about never giving up So hold your head up

And we will carry on... Sinnoh League Victors

Pokemon!

JESSIE: Are we missing something?

JAMES: Perhaps a smattering of success?

WOBBUFFET: [WEAK AFFIRMATIVE]

JESSIE: Seviper, Wobbuffet, return!

JESSIE: We've misplaced Meowth!

JAMES: Perhaps, though we were on the same flight...

JESSIE: AWOL!

GLAMEOW: [CURIOUS]

MAMIE: Do you see something, Glameow?

GLAMEOW: [EXCITED]

MAMIE: Oh no, that poor Meowth!

MAMIE: Meowth should be just fine after that medicine

and a good rest!

MEOWTH: Yipes! I'm hallucinating loveliness!

MAMIE: Wonderful! You're awake!

MEOWTH: Awake but clueless... what happened?

MAMIE: Glameow and I found you lying up on the mountain,

so we brought you here and took care of you!

MEOWTH: Yeah?

GLAMEOW: [PROUD]

MEOWTH: So you two saved me!

MAMIE: I can't believe it! You can talk! How rare is that?

MEOWTH: It's a gift! What can I say?

MAMIE: I'm certain we'd both love it

if you'd have lunch with us...

MEOWTH: I'm all over that!

MEOWTH: Man oh man...great grub,

a gorgeous Glameow to do the brunch thing with...

I think I've hit the Meowth motherlode!

MEOWTH: I brushed against her delicate paw! It's so...so...

GLAMEOW: [SURPRISED] / [PLEASED]

MEOWTH: Sweet!

JAMES: Meowth, old chum!

JESSIE: Location, please!

MEOWTH: Guys! I'm hanging over here!

JAMES: Behind you!

JESSIE: Your own search and recovery!

JAMES: Thank you so much for assisting our diminutive cohort!

Your generosity knows no bounds...

JAMES: I would recommend you take a tip from our playbook

and thank them yourself!

GLAMEOW: [FAREWELL]

JESSIE, JAMES: Off we go, then!

JAMES: We as in you!

JESSIE: Andele!

MEOWTH: No, no, no, no...

wait...

Glameow, say it ain't so!

MEOWTH: Everything I think I see

looks like that doll Glameow to me...

JAMES: What? Traumatized travel sickness?

JESSIE: Snap out of it and start strategizing!

MEOWTH: I got it!

The Meowthian brainstorm of the century!

JESSIE: Do tell!

MEOWTH: We need to catch that Glameow!

JAMES: But Pikachu's always been our brass ring.

JESSIE: Why would we do such a silly thing?

MEOWTH: Not silly, genius! Get a load...

MEOWTH: We'll have the most grateful Boss

for gifting him that Glameow! Wow!

JAMES: Clarify, please...

MEOWTH: When the Boss comes out of slumberland in the morning,

there'll be Glameow with that gorgeous grin!

MEOWTH: It'll be like he's got his own personal sun

shining right there in his room.

His heart will sing while his spirits zoom!

JAMES: All for a singing heart?

MEOWTH: Yo! Sometimes it's the simple things in life that rock!

JESSIE: Well, since our strategy sack is empty,

we might as well go with Operation Grab Glameow...

MEOWTH: Oh, it'll be a beaut, and how!

PIKACHU: [ALERT]

BROCK, ASH, DAWN, PIPLUP: [SURPRISED]

GLAMEOW: [ALERT]

MAMIE: Oh, look! It's a Pikachu and a Piplup, too!

DAWN: Hello there!

ASH: Hi! I'm Ash.

DAWN: And my name is Dawn!

BROCK: Hi! I'm Brock.

PIKACHU: [GREETING]

GLAMEOW: [GREETING]

MAMIE: Hi! My name's Mamie. I'm out on a Gym battle journey!

ASH: Awesome!

MAMIE: But, to be totally honest,

I haven't been able to win a single Gym badge so far...

DAWN: So you just started your journey!

MAMIE: Yeah. I just challenged the Pastoria Gym, but I lost.

ASH: I know that Gym! That's Crasher Wake's Gym!

BROCK: Don't worry!

You'll start winning once you get a bit more experience!

DAWN: Right! Mamie, there's no need to worry!

MAMIE: That's such a relief to hear you all say that,

and thank you!

ASH, PIKACHU, DAWN, BROCK, MAMIE, GLAMEOW: [SHOCKED]

PIPLUP: [PANICKING]

ASH, DAWN, BROCK, MAMIE, PIKACHU, PIPLUP: [PAINED]

DAWN: Who would go and put a cage right here?

ASH: Yeah, I wonder!

JESSIE: Ah, the wonderment of a child!

JAMES: For a Twerp, thinking at all is wild!

JESSIE: On the wind!

JAMES: Past the stars!

MEOWTH: You're not getting me riled!

GLAMEOW: [SCARED]

JESSIE: Glameow gloriously grabbed!

MAMIE: No! Those bad people have stolen my little Glameow!

Glameow, return, quick!

MEOWTH: Hey! That's mine!

JAMES: Carnivine, assist!

CARNIVINE: [AFFECTIONATE]

JAMES: Cease and desist!

ASH: Buizel! I choose you!

BUIZEL: [APPEARING]

CARNIVINE: [EXERTION]

ASH: Quick, Buizel, use Aqua Jet!

BUIZEL: [AQUA JET MOVE]

JAMES: Carnivine, use b*llet Seed!

CARNIVINE: [b*llet SEED MOVE]

MAMIE: What's this all about?

DAWN: Mamie, don't let go, please!

MEOWTH: Those Twerps never listen!

JAMES: Well done! Carnivine, return!

BROCK, MAMIE, ASH, PIPLUP, PIKACHU: [SHOCKED]

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Ciao, chumps!

JESSIE: Dead weight!

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

ASH: Man! Those guys are the worst you can get!

DAWN: That's for sure! Mamie, are you all right?

MAMIE: I'm fine, but Glameow's gone!

Now what am I going to do?

BROCK: That Team Rocket!

ASH: Hey, no sweat!

We'll get your Glameow back, I promise!

PIKACHU: [DETERMINED]

PIPLUP: [DETERMINED]

JESSIE: So far your strategy is paying off in spades!

JAMES: A victory worth savoring!

Catching the Twerps off guard with an under-the-bridge

booby trap is one of the great joys in life!

JESSIE: Traps are what we do best!

And what those Twerps do worst!

MEOWTH: That works for me...

JESSIE: So? The sooner the Boss receives,

the better for us!

MEOWTH: Don't be too hasty!

Great strategies can sure take it out of you, you know?

JAMES: Oh, perhaps. A nice rest might be just the thing!

JESSIE: It has a nice ring.

MEOWTH: Wait!

Let me take that heavy Poké Ball off of your hands, okay?

JESSIE: It's a Poké Ball, not a bowling ball...

STARAPTOR: [CALLING]

ASH: Staraptor! See anything?

STARAPTOR: [DISAPPOINTED]

ASH: Well, I know you did your best...

Thanks, Staraptor! Return!

TOGEKISS: [CALLING]

DAWN: Togekiss, were you able to locate Team Rocket?

TOGEKISS: [DISAPPOINTED]

DAWN: Thanks! I really appreciate you trying. Return!

BROCK: I think we all need rest. Let's pick it up tomorrow.

ASH: Okay.

MAMIE: Dear Glameow... Please, please be okay...

MEOWTH: There you are, doll!

MEOWTH: Okay, gorgeous Glameow, come on out!

GLAMEOW: [APPEARING]

MEOWTH: Wow, what a looker!

GLAMEOW: [CURIOUS]

MEOWTH: Hey, what are you talking about,

"What happened to my Trainer?"

We've got other stuff to worry about!

GLAMEOW: [CONFUSED]

MEOWTH: What do you mean "What do I mean"?

Look, here's the lowdown!

Those two sleeping beauties over there are Jessie and James,

and they're really bad eggs!

GLAMEOW: [CURIOUS]

MEOWTH: Yeah!

They forced me to catch you, dig?

But you don't want to hang out with them!

INFERNAPE, SEVIPER: [BATTLING]

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH, SEVIPER, GLAMEOW: [PAINED]

MEOWTH: When we have a blastoff, it ain't no blast!

MEOWTH: You're going to end up

flying much more then you ever bargained for!

MEOWTH: I don't want anything bogus happening to you!

MEOWTH: And that's why I'm trying to get you

out of this mess!

GLAMEOW: [SUSPICIOUS]

MEOWTH: Wait, "am I on the level"? Of course!

See, I'm like your personal Poké-knight in shining armor,

Rapidashing in to save the beautiful princess!

GLAMEOW: [CONFUSED]

GLAMEOW: [SURPRISED]

MEOWTH: You can take that fantasy with a grain of salt,

but not the fact that I really want to help you out!

GLAMEOW: [CURIOUS]

MEOWTH: Whoa. You're cutting me to the quick!

A Pokémon's life's a whole lot more then battling

for the Trainers, you know! If you stick with me,

I promise I'll treat you to the kind of lush life

a total cutiepie like you deserves!

GLAMEOW: [UNSURE]

MEOWTH: I wouldn't ever lie about affairs of the heart!

It's part and parcel of a Meowth's code!

GLAMEOW: [QUESTIONING]

MEOWTH: You and me a team?

I am so there!

I promise I'll spend every waking hour making you happy!

Your battling days are over!

GLAMEOW: [OBJECTING]

MEOWTH: Oh... So you like battles, huh?

Then battle to your heart's content!

Because if your heart's content, then my heart's content!

GLAMEOW: [AGREEMENT]

MEOWTH: Kid, stick with me,

and I'll give you a life free of stress, stupid stuff,

and strife!

I can whip up some mean Pokémon food, and I even do dishes!

MEOWTH: [SUSPICIOUS]

MEOWTH: Hey, I'm telling you the truth! Totally straight up!

Long as you got me, you're going to be happy,

you'll see!

GLAMEOW: [UNSURE]

MEOWTH: A cozy boat in the moonlight!

The perfect size for a Meowth and his mate!

GLAMEOW: [UNSURE]

MEOWTH: We can let the rest of this crazy world go by,

while we float gently down the stream of love and happiness!

Check it out...

MEOWTH: If the moon were smiling any bigger,

it'd be laughing out loud, it's so tickled for us!

ASH: Staraptor,

try looking for Team Rocket again!

STARAPTOR: [APPEARING]

DAWN: Try again, too, Togekiss! Go!

TOGEKISS: [APPEARING]

ASH: Good luck, guys!

STARAPTOR, TOGEKISS: [CONFIDENT]

MAMIE: I've got to find Glameow!

BROCK: They're on the case! It'll be soon!

DAWN: Yeah, no need to worry!

PIKACHU: [REASSURING]

PIPLUP: [REASSURING]

MAMIE: Okay!

JESSIE: Hmm... Glameow's Poké Ball's missing.

Strange...

JAMES: True, as is Meowth!

JESSIE: Something's not adding up...

JAMES: Zots! Your back!

JAMES: With a Meowth print for a seal!

JESSIE: It says... "Don't look for me.

I'm out of here.

The long-held dream the three of us shared

of conquering all of Sinnoh is completely over for me,

and my short and long-term goal now is to live

a long and happy life filled to the brim

with gobs of domestic bliss along with my beloved babe

Glameow. Dig?"

JAMES: Here!

"And so I hereby tender my resignation-"

MEOWTH: "-as a long-standing member of Team Rocket

and hope you guys have a nice day."

JAMES: Meowth resigned from Team Rocket

lock, stock, and paws!

JAMES: Falling in love with a Glameow

and throwing one's life away!

JESSIE: Not only throwing one's life away,

but running away as well!

JAMES: I'll guarantee you Meowth was planning this

right from the get-go...

JESSIE: That punk played us like a violin!

I feel so... messed with!

JAMES: A fine how-dee-doo after the years of thieving bliss

Team Rocket rendered!

JESSIE: I will never ever forgive that ingrate!

JAMES: Nor I!

JAMES: Now where's that Charm? Show me a sign!

JESSIE: One hint, then... bang, zoom!

JESSIE: Staraptor?

JAMES: What? A Togekiss!

ASH: Found you!

ASH: Staraptor, quick! Brave Bird!

DAWN: Togekiss, Aura Sphere!

STARAPTOR: [BRAVE BIRD MOVE]

TOGEKISS: [AURA SPHERE MOVE]

JESSIE: Now that we're in Twerp discovery, what do we do?

ASH: Give us back that Poké Ball!

MAMIE: And I want my Glameow back, right now!

JESSIE: Sorry. Not here.

DAWN: What do you mean, not here?

JAMES: They both left the premises!

ASH: Both of them?

JESSIE: That would equal Meowth and Glameow.

MAMIE: Why would my Glameow run away with your Meowth?

DAWN: I'll bet you it was one of Meowth's tricks!

BROCK: I'll bet you're right!

MAMIE: My poor little Glameow!

JESSIE: Here's the deal!

Whoever finds them keeps them both!

JAMES: Since we'll find them first, that's fair!

ASH: Hey, hold on, Team Rocket!

ASH: Come on, we'd better hurry!

MAMIE, DAWN, BROCK: Right!

STARAPTOR, TOGEKISS: [AFFIRMATIVE]

MEOWTH: Dig in!

GLAMEOW: [PLEASED]

MEOWTH: I'll tell you, this is the life!

Why swipe Pokémon when you can hang with them?

YANMEGA: [CHALLENGING]

MEOWTH: Yipes!

That's gotta be Jessie's Yanmega!

STARAPTOR, TOGEKISS: [CHALLENGING]

MEOWTH: And that's got to be the Twerps' Staraptor and Togekiss!

MEOWTH: Oh man, it's an ambush!

JESSIE: Aha! Busted!

ASH: There they are!

JAMES: Meowth! Come back here!

DAWN: Give back Glameow!

MEOWTH: Yeah, dream on!

DAWN: Piplup, Whirlpool!

PIPLUP: [WHIRLPOOL MOVE]

MEOWTH, GLAMEOW: [IMPACT]

ASH: You're not going anywhere!

JAMES: Meowth, give it up while the giving is good!

MEOWTH: What good? I'm going to protect Glameow from you dopes!

MEOWTH: Dig this!

No matter what trash you throw at me,

love wins in the end!

JESSIE: Pity. Seviper!

SEVIPER: [APPEARING]

ASH: Infernape! I choose you!

INFERNAPE: [APPEARING]

MEOWTH: Bring it on!

I'll protect Glameow's honor all by myself!

JESSIE: Now! Seviper, use Poison Tail!

SEVIPER: [POISON TAIL MOVE]

MEOWTH: Yeah? Fury Swipes of Love!

SEVIPER: [IMPACT]

JESSIE, JAMES: Yowslers!

ASH: Infernape, Flame Wheel!

INFERNAPE: [FLAME WHEEL MOVE]

MEOWTH: More Fury Swipes of Love!

INFERNAPE: [IMPACT]

JESSIE: Seviper, use Wrap!

ASH: Mach Punch!

SEVIPER, INFERNAPE: [att*ck]

MEOWTH: Double Fury Swipes of Love!

SEVIPER, INFERNAPE: [IMPACT]

JESSIE: Yanmega!

ASH: Staraptor!

DAWN: Togekiss!

YANMEGA, STARAPTOR, TOGEKISS: [DETERMINED]

MEOWTH: Multi-point Fury Swipes of Love!

YANMEGA, STARAPTOR, TOGEKISS: [IMPACT]

ASH: Staraptor, return!

DAWN: You too, Togekiss!

JAMES: All that mayhem from a Fury Swipes?

JESSIE: Talk about not knowing your own strength...

MEOWTH: Being a strong Pokémon's

got nothing to do with strategies or training

or techniques or even Twerps. It's love, baby!

MEOWTH: And nothing floats my boat

like a sh*t of my baby's love!

It gives me the strength of ten Meowth!

Eleven on a good day!

DAWN: Wow, Meowth's really got it bad...

ASH: Got what bad?

DAWN: Just forget it, Ash...

MEOWTH: You can plant me in a field of fire, but I don't care!

I'll bet you big bucks I could rumble with Dialga and Palkia

and they'd beg for mercy!

JESSIE: What a drama queen...

MEOWTH: And now for a hunka hunka

burning Fury Swipes of Love!

MEOWTH, SEVIPER, INFERNAPE: [IMPACT]

JAMES: Carnivine, put out the fire!

JAMES: My hair's fine!

Extinguish Meowth with b*llet Seed!

CARNIVINE: [b*llet SEED MOVE]

MAMIE: Glameow, no!

GLAMEOW: [IMPACT]

DAWN: What's happening?

JAMES: Uh oh!

PURUGLY: [GREETING]

BROCK: Glameow evolved into Purugly!

MAMIE: I can't believe my little Glameow evolved...

POKEDEX: Purugly. The Tiger Cat Pokémon,

and the evolved form of Glameow.

By wrapping its tail around itself,

it can appear to be bigger,

and when locking eyes with another,

can stare forever.

JAMES: Oops...

JESSIE: Okay, time out!

JESSIE: That was a mistake...

MEOWTH: Huh?

What's Purugly doing where Glameow was?

PURUGLY: [CRANKY]

PURUGLY: [DEMANDING]

MEOWTH: What do you mean you're hungry so hurry up

and bring you some grub and make it super fast?

Where's all that stuff coming from?

PURUGLY: [DEMANDING]

MEOWTH: What do you mean you wouldn't have to do a thing

that you wouldn't have to lift a paw forever and ever?

And why are you saying I got to make good on my word?

PURUGLY: [DEMANDING]

MEOWTH: No fair! I want my gorgeous Glameow back!

JESSIE: While you were being flighty,

Glameow evolved into Purugly.

MEOWTH: Purugly evolved from Glameow?

MEOWTH: No... not that!

MEOWTH: Come on, why me?

My Glameow was the cutest thing on four pegs!

PURUGLY: [DISMISSIVE]

MEOWTH: You couldn't have asked before you evolved...

JESSIE: Meowth, wake up and smell the coffee! Seviper!

SEVIPER: [att*ck]

MEOWTH: I don't know where my love went,

but it bought a one-way ticket...

ASH: Give Purugly back right now!

INFERNAPE: [FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

MEOWTH: I'll feed you if you wake me up from this nightmare!

PURUGLY: [DISMISSIVE]

JESSIE: Losing that loving feeling after evolving

doesn't bode well for love in the first place...

JAMES: One needs to consider Meowth's position as well!

MAMIE: Purugly!

DAWN: That's awesome, Mamie!

MAMIE: The funniest part is,

I always wanted Glameow to evolve into a Purugly anyway!

MEOWTH: Like I always say, it's the best thing

for a Pokémon and its Trainer to hang tough!

JESSIE: The heart mends quickly...

PURUGLY: [GROWL]

MEOWTH: Look, kid! I know this may be hard to do,

but it's best for everyone

if you somehow forget about us...me...

MEOWTH: Besides,

following the way of battle is important for a Pokémon!

BROCK: Now that Glameow evolved into Purugly,

it's much stronger!

MAMIE: You're right! It can use more moves now!

MAMIE: And now, for leading my dear Pokémon on,

Meowth needs justice! Purugly, Hyper Beam!

PURUGLY: [HYPER BEAM MOVE]

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH, SEVIPER: [IMPACT]

JESSIE: Meowth, I think a little fence-mending is in order,

don't you?

JAMES: Rejoining Team Rocket

might be as good a place to start as any...

MEOWTH: Least I won't have to make you a sandwich!

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

ASH: So Mamie, we're heading out for the Sunyshore Gym!

MAMIE: We're going to the Pastoria Gym once more!

Purugly and I will try it again!

DAWN: No need to worry! You'll win it this time!

MAMIE: We'll just use Purugly's Hyper Beam

and earn us a Gym badge!

BROCK: We'll be rooting for you.

ASH: See you!

MAMIE: Take care, everyone!

ASH: Sunyshore Gym, here we come!

Ready to rock, Pikachu?

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

NARRATOR: Now that Glameow has evolved

into a powerful Purugly after being safely returned to Mamie,

our heroes now turn their attention to the Sunyshore Gym

and all the excitement that's sure to be waiting there,

so stay tuned!
