01x19 - Tentacool & Tentacruel

[bunniefuu]

[UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC]

[SINGING]
-I want to be the very best

Like no one ever was

To catch them is my real test

To train them is my cause

I will travel across the land

Searching far and wide

Each Pokémon to understand

The power that's inside

Pokémon, gotta catch 'em all

It's you and me

[CRASH!]

I know it's my destiny

Pokémon

Oh, you're my best friend

In a world we must defend

Pokémon, gotta catch 'em all

A heart so true

Our courage will pull us through

You teach me and I'll teach you

Pokémon

Gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all

Pokémon

Gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all

Pokémon

ASH: Blue skies...

BROCK: White clouds...

MISTY: And sea as far as you
can see.

Ohh, I wish that ship could
take us off this island.

Narrator:
We find our heroes stranded

at Porta Vista,

the only town on the island
with ferries to the mainland.

[SIGHS]

NARRATOR: It seems our friends
have missed the boat.

It'll be a long three hours
until the next ferry.

Pika, chu, chu!

-Huh?
Oh, look!

It's a Horsea.
How cute!

Huh? where?

Hey!

I'll just get Dexter
to tell me about it.

-[ELECTRONIC VOICE]
Horsea, a dragon Pokémon.

With this unique
Pokémon species,

thousands of eggs hatch
every spring,

and then the male
raises them himself.

It looks like it's injured.

Huh?

-[WEAKLY]
Horsea.

And there's no Pokémon Center
around here.

I know what.

Hor... sea.

Horsea, horsea.

It's saying something.

We have to try to take care
of its wounds first.

I'll capture it in my Pokéball.

[expl*si*n]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

-Oh, no!
The boat!

Look out!

ASH: I wonder what's happening.

MISTY: We've got to act fast!

My water Pokémon can help
those people.

Staryu, Starmie, Goldeen, go!

I didn't know you can do that.

Don't just stand there.

Go look for a boat to help them!

BOTH: right.

-Ah!
Wah!

This way!

Carry them all to our boat!

Goldeen.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Horsea.

MAN: It's terrible, terrible!

He seems like he's paralyzed.

Hey, what happened to you
out there?

The boss.

I've got to tell the boss
what happened.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

I'm the boss, Nastina!

[ALL YELP]

I understand that you helped

to save the men on my ship.

Thank you very much.

[LAUGHS]

You're very welcome.

I wonder if you could give us
a ride to the mainland.

You don't think you're gonna
get away that fast, do you?

Not till you see my new resort.

Resort?

It's not finished,

but it'll be spectacular.

The world's biggest
luxury resort.

MISTY: Is that it out on the
ocean?

NASTINA: Yes, that's it.

That's Nastina's Paradise,

a super luxury hotel,

the hotel to end all hotels.

It'll have hundreds
of luxurious suites,

surrounded by the world's
most beautiful coral reef,

but only if those Tentacool

stop interfering
with construction.

The Tentacool?

I get it.

The Tentacool paralyzed
your sailors.

Because of those Tentacool,

all the tourists have been
staying away from here.

I don't know why such despicable
creatures even exist.

Did you say despicable?

They're disgusting,

you can't even eat them,

and they're hurting my profits.

I was hoping the three of you
might be able to help me

take care of my little problem.

Do you have the skill to handle

a Tentacool
extermination project?

ALL: Huh?

Of course I'll pay you well.

BOTH: Whoa!
-Hmph.

If you succeed,

you'll get world-class,
all-you-can-oat luxury dinners

for one year,

$ million in cash,

and vouchers for free stays
in the hotel.

Yeah!

First, you have to exterminate
the Tentacool-

every last one!

Then I'll pay you the reward.

[SEETHING]

That's disgusting!

[GROWLS]

Misty.

[GROWLS]

There's a girl
who can't be bought.

ASH: Hey, wait up.

BROCK: What are you so mad
about?

MISTY: Doesn't that old woman
make you sick?

Well, she's not really
my type, but-

-She wants to destroy
the Tentacool.

BOTH: Huh?

And they're all so cute.

They're cute?

-[ELECTRONIC VOICE]
Tentacool, a jellyfish Pokémon.

% of its body
is made up of water.

Ugly.

I guess ugly is in the eye
of the beholder.

If Tentacool
are attacking humans,

then there must be
a very good reason for it.

Do you really think so?

Of course!

Tentacool are so squishy
and nice when you hold them,

and they call the pretty
red spot on their heads

the ruby of the sea.

Who calls it that?

Well, I call it that.

It's my name for it.

When you talk
about water Pokémon,

it's like you get
a different personality.

I don't understand why
you can't see their charm.

Water Pokémon are so beautiful
and have such depth.

[SIGHS]
Like that Horsea we saw.

It was a talented artist.

Art?

You mean that ink
it spit out if its mouth?

Chu, chu.

Chu!

Horsea, eee, eee.

Horsea!

-Horsea!
Ee-oe!

How do you feel?

Are you okay?

The super potion seems
to be working.

-Thank goodness.
[LAUGHS]

They're really communicating.

-[UNCERTAINLY]
Horsea?

Huh?

What is it?

What are you trying to say?

-[FEARFULLY]
Horsea.

Say, didn't that picture it drew

look like a Tentacool?

Maybe it was telling us
about the Tentacool

and why that ship was sunk.

Is that right, Horsea?

-Sea, sea.
[WHIMPERS]

NASTINA: Citizens of Porta
Vista, listen up!

Nastina.

Effective immediately,

I am recruiting volunteers

to exterminate the Tentacool
terrorizing our town.

Exterminate?

I will award $ million
to anyone

who can exterminate
the Tentacool.

Isn't Nastina generous?

She'll do anything
to destroy them.

Anyone who wants money-

I mean, wants to help
the development of our town,

come to the yacht harbor
immediately!

Huh, she expects to get people

to destroy the Tentacool
for money?

How ridiculous.

Ohh, it's not ridiculous
to them.

[HORSEA WHIMPERS]

[ALL YELLING]

[ALL SHOUTING OVER EACH OTHER]

All right, which one of you
is going to win

the $ million reward?

Huh?

Oh, who is that?

JESSIE: Prepare for trouble.

JAMES: Make it double.

To protect the world
from devastation...

To unite all peoples
within our nation...

To denounce the evils
of truth and love...

To extend our reach
to the stars above.

Jessie.

James.

Team Rocket, blast off
at the speed of light.

Surrender now
or prepare to fight.

-Meowth!
That's right!

Hey, they got a lot of spunk.

That's a new definition
of "spunk."

Pikachu.

-Look at that hair.
-Disaster.

[BOTH YELP]

I don't need your beauty tips!

I need to get rid of Tentacool!

-It's a very distinctive style.
Just don't sh**t.

You mean dis-stink-tive.

Oh, we are terribly sorry.

Yes, very sorry.

Please, leave your little
Tentacool extermination project

to Team Rocket.

[CHUCKLES]

This crew might
just pull it off.

We sure will, Nastina.

Sounds good.

If you exterminate
the Tentacool completely,

the million bucks is yours.

Isn't Nastina generous?

Yes, we heard you
the first time.

Just get the dough ready for us.

[BOAT MOTOR WHIRRING]

Pikachu.

They're disrespecting the ocean.

Huh?

[LAUGHTER]

-[SING-SONGY]
We're gonna make a million.

Just for getting rid
of some jellyfish.

And it's going to be so easy
with our...

[TOGETHER]
super secret stun sauce!

We'll just pour it
into the ocean

all over the Tentacool.

Then we'll catch 'em
and open up a fish market.

And we'll make even more money.

There's nothing like
making money.

[RHYTHMIC RUMBLING]

[WHIMPERS]

Why are we going back?

[YELPS]

T-t-t-
ALL: Tentacool!

-What are they?
-Look out there!

All of those things
are Tentacool?

-Dump the stun sauce!
Dump the stun sauce!

Ugh, we don't have enough of it.

There must be , of them.

[LASER WHOOSHES]

[expl*si*n]

[ALL SCREAM]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[ALL SCREAMING]

We super-sized it!

[TENTACRUEL GROANING]

ALL: Who's that Pokémon?

It's Horsea!

Horsea!

[TENTACRUEL GROANING]

This is impossible.

Even at its greatest height,

a Tentacruel shouldn't be
more than seven feet tall.

[ELECTRONIC VOICE]
Tentacruel, a jelly Pokémon,

an evolved form
of the Tentacool.

Its numerous tentacles serve
as a powerful w*apon.

It is known as the gangster
of the sea.

That must be the g*ng leader.

-Oh, no!
Tentacruel's in trouble!

How dare that thing crush
my hotel!

Commence fire!

[CANNONFIRE]

[TENTACRUEL GROANING]

[GROWLS]

Leave my hotel alone!

ALL: Tentacool, tentacool,
tentacool, tentacool...

[SCREAMS]

ALL: Tentacool, tentacool,
tentacool, tentacool...

We've got to try
to protect Tentacruel!

But there's gonna be
a tidal wave!

Ah!

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

ALL: Tentacool, tentacool,
tentacool, tentacool...

Oh, thank badness we survived.

We're high and dry.

It's a good thing
we grabbed onto this pole.

It should be safe
to climb down now.

[BOTH WHIMPERING]
Help!

Oh, it's a good thing
I just got that insured!

That's the last straw,
Tentacruel!

I'm coming after you!
Whoa!

[TENTACRUEL GROWLS]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

So this is what

that Horsea was trying
to warn us about earlier.

I don't understand.

Why would they do a thing
like this?

Now everyone will be
against them.

[LASER WHOOSHES]

[EXPLOSIONS]

Pikachu, do something.

[PIKACHU GASPS]

Pika, chu!

You're right.

There's no way you could battle

against something that big.

Just leave this to me.

-Wait!
Up there!

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

It's Meowth.

Meowth has abandoned us.

Oh, it's a Tentacruel world.

-No time for drama.
Let's get out of here.

[BOTH YELP]

We are Tentacool and Tentacruel.

Hear us now.

Humans have destroyed
our ocean home,

and now we will have
our revenge.

[LASERS WHOOSHING]

[GASPS]

Tentacruel's using Meowth
as a puppet.

Now we will begin to destroy
your world, your home,

as you have so cruelly tried
to destroy ours.

And not one of you has the right
to complain about it.

Their homes must've been
where that hotel's being built.

-That's right.
The coral reef.

[GASPS]

That's exactly what Horsea
was trying to tell us.

I should've understood
what it was trying to say.

And I call myself
a water Pokémon trainer.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[PEOPLE EXCLAIM]

Horsea, ee, ee!

Horsea, ee, ee!

It's too late, Horsea.

No matter what you think,
we cannot turn away.

We must teach humans the pain
of having homes destroyed.

Horsea, ee, ee, ee!

A spineless attitude like yours

will only allow humans

to be more cruel
and inconsiderate in the future.

Horsea!

So you say
we're the spineless ones?

For that, you must be punished!

Horsea!

[HORSEA WHIMPERING]

Horsea!

Grab him, Pidgeotto!

[PIDGEOTTO CAWS]

Horsea...

Good work, Pidgeotto.

[HORSEA WHIMPERING]

I'm sorry, Horsea.

You got beaten up,

and you did it all
for us humans.

Thank you.

-[WEAKLY]
Horsea.

Pika, pika, pika, pika!

-You want to try your luck?
-Chu.

All right,
full power attack now!

Squirtle...
-Squirtle!

-Bulbasaur...
-Bulbasaur!

-Butterfree...
-Free!

-Pidgeotto!
[PIDGEOTTO CAWS]

Starmie, Staryu, and Goldeen!

-Get ready, Zubat!
-Zubat!

[DETERMINED MUSIC]

[LASERS WHOOSHING]

[PIDGEOTTO CAWS]

Pikachu!

Hey, Pikachu,

don't let the Tentacool
get any closer to us!

Send them back to the sea!

[BUTTERFREE TITTERING]

Bulba, bulba, bulba, bulba!

[PEOPLE CHEER]

-Huh?
Hey, where's Misty?

You are all Pokémon.

Why are you battling to save
the destructive human?

-Pidge!
-Pika!

Bulba!

[STARMIE GRUNTS]

Goldeen!

[PANTING]

Zu!

-Ah, Zubat!
-Squirtle!

Though you are Pokémon,

if you take the human's side,

you are our enemy.

[PIDGEOTTO CAWS]

-Pika!
Pika, pikachu!

Pikachu, pika!

[TENTACRUEL GRUMBLING]

Kachu!

Pikachu's reasoning with it?

I'm counting on you, Pikachu!

Pika, pika, chu.

Pikachu.

[TENTACRUEL GRUMBLING]

Chu!

Pika!

[TENTACRUEL GRUMBLING]

Pikachu, pika!

[TENTACRUEL GRUMBLING]

Pika, pika, pika, Pikachu!

[TENTACRUEL GRUMBLES]

MISTY: Please stop,
Tentacruel!

Please, take them all back
to the ocean!

BOTH: Misty?

Pikachu.

Please listen, Tentacruel.

This is enough!

We humans understand
that we've hurt you.

[TENTACRUEL GRUMBLES]

[EARNEST MUSIC]

We won't destroy
your homes anymore.

We're sorry,

so please...

If this happens again,
we will not stop.

Remember this well.

[HIGH-PITCHED WHISTLING]

[CRASH!]

[LOUD CRASHING]

-Meowth.
Where am I?

For the moment...

We've got our feet
on the ground.

[BOTH GROAN]

ALL: Tentacool, tentacool,
tentacool, tentacool...

rah!

You think you can get away
that easy, do you?

Take this!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

I'll capture you,
throw you in a t*nk,

and charge admission.

[CANNONFIRE]

Eat lead, squiddly!

She doesn't get the message,
does she?

Let's go!

Come on, you big jellyfish.

I'll show you.
Whoa!

What an overgrown squirt!

What's wrong with you, Nastina?

Don't you understand?

What you're trying to do
is wrong for everybody

because it hurts Pokémon
and humans.

Horsea.

You stuck-up little brat!

Huh?

-Tentacruel?
-Horsea.

[LAUGHS]

Well, Tentacruel,
glad to see you're wising up

and coming over to my way
of thinking.

Now, why don't you and me go
into business together?

Whoa!

[DING!]

-Uh...
-So long!

Mmm!

Huh?
Oh.

[TRIUMPHANT MUSIC]

Good-bye, Tentacruel.
We'll remember.

Horsea.

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

[HAMMERING]

[GROANING]

Whew.

Huh?

[SCREAMING]

[GRUNTS]

[LOUD RUMBLING]

You shouldn't drop in on me
like this.

I thought that's what cousins
are for.

Eesh.

[SHIP HORN BLARES]

It's kind of weird,

but Tentacruel turned out
to be okay.

You're right.

So, Misty, you still think
jellyfish Pokémon are cute?

Sure do.

[BOTH GROAN]

Hm, but right now, Horsea's
the cutest Pokémon of all.

Come on, Horsea!

Horsea!

Horsea, you're my Pokémon.

-Wait a minute.
That's supposed to be my pose.

I know, but I've always wanted
to try it out for myself.

-That's a good idea.
Next time, I'll try it.

Oh, why don't you guys just
think up your own poses, okay?

You should be flattered

that people want
to try out your pose.

-That's right.
Don't be so greedy.

What?

NARRATOR: The ocean has become
peaceful once more,

and as they leave
Porta Vista behind,

our heroes set off
for their next Pokémon gym

and their next
Pokémon adventure.

[TOGETHER]
We'll get them next time.

Don't go away!

The Pokérap is next!

[SINGING]
-Pokémon

Attention, all Pokémon trainers.

Do you got what it takes
to be the best?

Today, we'll do Pokémon.

It's the ultimate test.

[SINGING]
-Gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all,
gotta catch 'em all

At least or more to see

To be a Pokémon master
is my destiny

Not bad, not bad.

-Hey, don't get cocky.
Tomorrow's the hardest part.

We're on our way up
to Pokémon.

There's no stopping us!

[SINGING]
-Catch 'em, catch 'em

Gotta catch em 'all

Ooh, gotta catch 'em all,
Pokémon

Catch 'em, catch 'em,
gotta catch 'em all

Ooh, gotta catch 'em all,
Pokémon

Catch 'em, catch 'em,
gotta catch 'em all

-Yeah
-Pokémon

[UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC]

[SINGING]
-I want to be the very best
