04x19 - Ariados, Amigos

[bunniefuu]

narrator: As our heroes continue
on their journey to Johto,

they stop by
a beautiful mountain lake

for a lunch break.

As Ash and Pikachu wash up,

Brock is busy cooking up
something special.

- Ah.
That water's cool!

- Pika!

- Hey.
Where's Misty?

- She went for a little
walk with Togepi.

- Hmm.

- Let's see.

How do I look,
Togepi?

- [chirps]

- Togepi,
we have to get back soon.

- [chirps]

- Togepi!

Did you hurt yourself?

- Togi-togi-pree!

- Huh?

Aah!

- I have a feeling

that there's something

in that bush that's creepy...

and crawly!

Maybe--
maybe it's a--

[screams]

- Pi?
- Huh?

- Was that Misty?

- I think so.

- Pika!

- Misty.

What's the matter?

- What's wrong, Misty?

- Something's in there!

- I only see flowers.

- There are leaves
and stems too.

- Not those.
I'm talking about underneath.

- Pika?

Pi, pi, pi, pi.

Pika-ah!

- That's a big...

bug!

- [singing]
Pokémon, Pokémon, Pokémon

- Let's do it.

I wanna be the very best

Like no one ever was

Ever was, ever was

To catch them is my real test

To train them is my cause

My whole life has led to this

Time to test my skills

I know I just can't miss

Gonna show the world

Born to be a winner

- Johto

- Born to be a champion

Born to be a winner

Born to be the very best

- Pokémon
- Johto

- Born to be a winner

Pokémon

- Let's see what
Dexter knows.

- [electronic voice]
Ariados,

the Long Leg Pokémon,

the evolved form
of Spinarak.

Ariados is able to spin
extremely strong sticky webs

to trap its adversaries.

- I bet those webs
could really come in handy.

- Wonder if there's
something wrong with this one.

It hasn't moved a muscle
since we've been here.

- Pika.

- If it doesn't move a muscle,

that's perfectly
fine with me.

- Ariados!

I've found you!

- I know that voice!

[zapping]

- Hey it's Aya!

- This is like a miracle!

- Born in darkness,

living in darkness,

such is the fate
of the ninja.

I am Aya,
ninja warrior!

- But don't you think
that color

is a little bright
for a ninja?

- I don't need your
fashion report!

But tell me, didn't you enjoy
my little "star treatment?"

- I met you back
at the Fuchsia City Gym.

Remember me, Aya?

- Sure, how could
I forget you Brook?

- That's close enough!

Ah, Cupid must have shot
his arrows into our hearts

just like Ariados
shoots its web!

- Huh?

Hmm.

- Ariados,

begin the test!

- Ariados!

- Stun Spore.
Go!

- Venonat!
Veno-veno-nat.

- Ariados!

[hissing]

- Oh!

It's getting away.
Come on!

- Veno!

- Aya!

Aya,
don't leave me!

- Brock, wait up.
I'm going too!

- Hey,
don't forget me!

[zapping]

- Use Poison Sting!

- Veno! Veno! Veno!

Veno...nat!

[zapping]

- Hurry, Venonat.

Use your Tackle!

- Veno, Veno, Venonat.
Venonat.

- We've got you!

- Veno!

- Venonat!

- Venonat!
Nat-ve-no.

- Somebody must've
thrown a net over Venonat.

- That's no net, Ash.

- Then what is it?

- That's a web
that Ariados spun

as a trap to catch Venonat,
and it worked.

- Ah.

Venonat.

Are you all right?

- Venonat.

- Learn this lesson:

Letting your guard down
for even a moment

can lead to defeat.

- Quit hiding.
Who are you?

Who are you,
and why are you attacking Aya?

- It's all right, Ash.
This is my tutor.

- A Pokémon tutor?

- I see that you have
much to learn, Aya.

Much.

- Yes.

I must learn the ancient skills
of Pokémon Jujitsu.

- What's Pokémon Jujitsu?

- Pika?

- Wow!

There's got to be
different Pokémon out here!

- More than that, Ash.

Many young trainers

and their Pokémon
come here to my academy

to study the principles
of Pokémon Jujitsu.

For example,
Ariados' Spider Web,

Venonat's Stun Spore,

as well as Scyther's
Double Team,

and Pineco's Spikes

are all attacks
in the Jujitsu tradition

that my students
come to learn about.

- This place is like
a Pokémon attack Hall of Fame!

- So Aya must've come here
to be a better trainer

by learning Pokémon Jujitsu.

- I've become
her personal tutor

and work closely
with her every day.

- Excuse me,
Teacher.

I've prepared some tea.

- Aya, I just got
the best idea ever!

I'm going to enroll here
so you can be my personal tutor!

- Your tutor?

- Pineco,
I choose you!

- Pineco!

- Allow me
to introduce Pineco.

We make a great team,
but if you tutor us Aya,

we'll make an even better one!

- Pineco!

- No, please not now,
Pineco!

[expl*si*n]

[laughs nervously]

- Brock has the right idea!

What do you think, Pikachu?

Maybe we'd be better battlers

if we studied
some of this Pokémon Jujitsu!

- Pika.

- I have an idea, Ash.

Why don't you and your friends
take some classes here with us?

[together] Would we have to pay?

- Sometimes the Teacher
makes exceptions.

What do you think?

Can they stay?

- Mm.

They may all have
one day of classes for free.

- Oh, boy!

Did you hear that?

- Pika!

- I already feel like
a better trainer with this on!

- This is going to be great!

- It feels funny
to be wearing long pants!

- The colors indicate
the kind of

classes you'll attend.

- Students in red uniforms
study battle techniques.

Yellows go to
the technical class,

where they try to make attacks
more effective.

And blue students report
to the beauty center

to learn the secrets of
health and nutrition!

- I don't want to learn
about health and nutrition.

I want to learn about
attacks and battling!

- We only give this special
course once a year,

but we suppose
we could put you

in one of the fighting courses
if you like.

- You only give
it once a year?

- Pokémon trainers
come from all over the world

to learn the secret
Pokémon beauty treatment.

- The treatments help make
trainers look much healthier

by introducing
proteins to the skin.

Not only that, they make
you look like a movie star.

- You mean I could
look like a movie star?

Who wants to go to
some silly old battle class?

Yay! Yay!
It's beauty time, yay!

I have a feeling
this secret treatment

is going to be
a dream come true!

- Spinarak!

- Did I say dream?

- You are among
the fortunate few

who will experience
the wondrous effects

of the Spinarak Beauty Pack!

- Still.
Stay still.

Stay calm.

- Spinarak, begin!

- [hissing]

- This Spinarak web mask

will leave your skin
smooth and silky,

if you can ever
get it off!

- [groans]

- [chirps]

- The purpose of
today's training drill

is to improve
the speed and technical control

of your Pokémon attacks.

Now who wants
to try the drill first?

- Me!

Pineco and I are ready to go!

- Pineco!

- Spike Attack right,
Pineco!

- Pineco!

[zapping and popping]

- Spike Attack left,
Pineco!

- Pineco!

[zapping and popping]

- Wow, they're good!

- Amazing work.

The two of you were in sync
from the start.

You've trained
your Pineco very well.

- Thank you, sir.
I try!

And Pineco is
an excellent teammate.

- Pineco!

- Please don't, Pineco!

[expl*si*n]

- Pineco!

- Now we'll have
a battle between

Mickey's Hypno
and Ralph's Houndour!

- Hypno!

- [growls]

- Hypno, use Hypnosis!

- Hypno. Hypno.

- Dour!

- Smog attack,
Houndour!

- [growls]

- Hypno!

- Now use your
Faint attack, Houndour!

- [growls]

- It's attacking
from your left, Hypno!

- Hypno!

- Dour!

- Hyp!

Hyp...no!

[groans]

- Hypno!

- Match over.

Houndour wins.

- [laughs]

- Ready, Ash?
Aya?

[together]
Ready!

[trumpet fanfare]

- I should warn you, Ash,

I'm tougher
than I was last time!

- Venonat!

- Well I'm tougher too, Aya,

and so is Bulbasaur!

- Bulba!

- Begin.

- Venonat,
let's go!

- Veno!

- Start with your
Vine Whip, Bulbasaur!

- Saur!

- Venonat,
get out of its way!

- Venonat!

Nat--Ah!

- Great!

Now hit it with
a Leech Seed, Bulbasaur!

- Bulbasaur!

[seed whooshing]

- Venonat! Veno.

- That was a good combination!

Venonat,
Supersonic attack!

- Veno!

Venonat.

- Bulba...saur.

- Bulbasaur,
hang in there!

- Venonat, finish it off
with your Tackle!

- Venonat!

- Bulbasaur,
jump and get out of the way!

- Saur!

- Venonat!

- Oh, no!

- Bulba!

- [squeaks]

- Okay, Bulbasaur,
you know what to do!

- Bulba...saur!

- Veno!

- Oh!
- Bye-bye!

- The match goes

to Ash and Bulbasaur.

- Venonat,
are you okay?

- Veno, Venonat.

- You've earned yourself
a nice long rest.

Well, Ash,
you win again.

Your technique's even better
than the last time you beat me!

- Well, thanks.

That's real nice
of you to say, Aya.

But I think luck
had a lot to do with it.

You and Venonat are tough!

- I'm not going
to argue with that!

[both laughing]

- Venonat!

- There's our pal Pikachu.

- Yes, and a Bulbasaur,
a Venonat, a Houndour,

a Hypno, a Gloom,
and a Spinarak too!

- If we can sell
that whole pack of Pokémon,

we could sell them to collectors
and make a bundle!

- Wob-buh!

[both groan]

- "Bundle" not "bungle."
Go away!

- Come on, let's make
those Pokémon disappear!

- Aye!

- Wobbuffet!

- Who's that Pokémon?

It's...

- That treatment made me look
like a movie star all right.

The star of a horror movie!

- At least you didn't
get your face blown up.

- Pika-pi!
- Huh?

What is it, Pikachu?

- Pika, pika.

- Huh?

- One, two, one, two,
one, two, one, two.

- Veno-nat. Veno-nat!
Veno-nat! Veno-nat!

Veno. Veno.
Venonat.

- Okay, let's take
a little break.

- Veno, veno, veno!

- You're doing very well.

You're much faster
than you used to be!

- Venonat!

- So that's it.
- Veno?

- There aren't
too many trainers I know

who practice day and night!

- Ash!

- No wonder you and Venonat
have gotten so good.

- Pika.

- There's still
so much to learn.

But we study and train
as hard as we can

to reach our goal:

to learn all we can

about Pokémon Jujitsu.

- If you keep doing
what you're doing,

I know you will.

- I hope you're right, Ash.

- Veno?
Venonat!

- Huh?
- Pika!

- Hey, what's up
with Venonat?

- It senses something.

Come on,
let's go see!

- Venonat.

- Venonat,
what is it?

- They're gone!

- My Pokéballs are gone!

- Yeah,
so are mine!

- Mine are gone too!

- Somebody's a thief.

- Pika?

- Venonat!
Veno!

- Wait up!

[together]
Ash!

- Misty! Brock!

- There are Pokémon thieves
in the compound.

They must be caught!

[explosions]

What's going on?

- Prepare for trouble!

- And 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 blasting
off at the speed of light!

- Surrender now or prepare
to fight, fight. fight!

- Meowth! That's right!

[together]
What do you want?

- Pi-Pikachu!

- We want to dazzle you
with a bit of magic!

- We're proud purveyors
of prestidigitation.

- Wobbuffet!

- This is my spot, hambone.
Disappear!

- Wob-buh!

- So, without
any further ado,

Team Rocket proudly
presents to you

the mystical marvel
of the age:

The Amazing
Pokéball Levitation!

[all laughing]

That concludes our show
for this evening.

Thanks for coming, suckers!

- Come back here!

- Pika!
- Hey!

- Pika-pi!

- Now, we wouldn't
forget about you.

- Pikachu!

- This is an outrage.

We must stop those three!

Ariados,
come with me!

- Aria!

- You know what to do!

- [hissing]

- Oh!
- A kite!

- Aria!

- He flies!

- That's another one

of Teacher's special techniques
we learn.

- Wow, even the trainers

learn their own attacks here!

- Come on, guys,
let's go follow that balloon!

[together]
Yeah!

- Operation "Hocus Pokémon"
worked like magic!

- Abracadabra!

- Hey,
what's that up there?

- Huh?

- A kite?
At night?

- And there's
somebody on it!

- You won't get away.

pop!

all: No!

- Hey, Pops,
what's the big idea?

- Poison Sting that thing,
Arbok!

- Sss-Arbok!

[hisses]

[zapping]

- Aria!

- Ha-ha!

Bye-bye, fly guy!

- Just when things was
looking up, we're going down!

- What?

Well, we've got
to do something fast!

- There's not
much we can do!

- Yeah, except crash!

- Ah.

[grunts]

[Team Rocket shrieking]

- There go the Pokéballs!

[air whooshing]

- Ah.

- Teacher!

- Aya!

- Drop the Pokéballs!

- Careful.
They're heavy!

- [grunts]

- Brock!

- Let's follow!
- Yeah!

You won't get away!

crash!

[all screaming]

crash!

- Pika!

- Pikachu!

[leaves rustling]

Are you up there, Pikachu?

- Pi--
Pika-pi.

- Don't move.
I'll be right there!

[grunts]

- Move slowly.
You might be injured.

- [groaning]

- Hey!

- You have some nerve
attacking us!

- Yeah, and now Team Rocket
demands retribu-lation!

- Arbok, show them
why they can't mess with us

and get away with it!

- [growls, hisses]

- Ariados is exhausted.

It needs time to recover.

Aya, you and Venonat
must defend us now.

- What?

But Teacher,
we're not ready.

we have so much to learn!

- Venonat!

- We all
have much to learn,

but the moment has come,
and you must

take the knowledge
you have gained

and do the best
you can do.

- Do the best I--

Yes!

Get ready, Venonat!

- Venonat!

- Sss-Arbok!

- Venonat,
use Stun Spore!

- Veno!
Veno-veno-veno-veno!

- Quick, Arbok.
Jump out of the way!

- [growling]

- Venonat,
Poison Sting!

- Arbok,
use your Poison Sting!

- Sss-ar!
- Venonat!

Veno-veno-veno!
Veno! Venonat.

Veno.
Veno!

Venonat.

- They're stronger
than we are.

What can we do?

- Remember!

- Huh?

- Remember
the lessons you learned

when you trained
with Ariados, Aya!

- When I trained
with Ariados?

I remember it perfectly.

- Veno-no-no-no-no-no-no!

- Hurry, Venonat.
Use your Tackle!

- Veno, veno, veno!

Venonat.

Veno!

- Venonat,
you must rest now!

[all gasping]

- Veno--

No...

- Why's Aya
resting Venonat now?

- Resting will help Venonat
build its energy back up,

but now seems
to be a really bad time!

- We ain't resting till we get
all of them Pokéballs back!

- You picked
the wrong time to snooze

and the right time to lose!

- Arbok, Wrap attack
that Venonat!

- Sss-Arbok!

Bok!

- [squeaking]

- Aya!

- Venonat's
in big trouble, Aya.

Do something!

- Don't worry,
Arbok!

- You've got this one
all wrapped up, Arbok!

- Cha!

Arbok!

Sss-Arbok!

- Now, Venonat.
Use your Stun Spore!

- Venonat!

- Arbok!

[all gasp]
- Arbok, no!

- Arbok!
- Venonat!

- She won!
- That was her plan all along!

- Arbok, get up,
you wormy weakling!

- You should be able
to squash that little bug!

- Arbok!

- Venonat,
use your Tackle!

- Venonat!
Veno!

- Arbok!

[crashing]

- Nice work,
Venonat!

- That rest paid off.

- Toge-toge-pree!

- We can beat her
if we battle as a team!

- Yeah!

- We'll show you!

- Show me.

- Aya!
- Huh?

- Hurry!
- Ash!

- I want to get rid
of this team myself, Aya!

- Pika!

- It's the twerp
and his Pikachu!

- He can't beat us
if we attack him together!

- It's now or never.

all: Go!

- Thunderbolt Attack,
Pikachu!

- Pika...

chu!

[expl*si*n]

all: We're blasting off again!

- Arbok!

- Yeah!
- Pikachu!

- You were great,
Venonat!

- Venonat!

- Resting Venonat paid off.

- Aya knew
that if she rested Venonat,

Team Rocket
would get overconfident.

She turned their
moment of weakness

into their moment
of strength.

- When I thought
of our training with Ariados,

I remembered how quickly
a battle can turn around.

and that gave me courage
to take a chance.

- You and your Venonat
did admirably.

You used the essential
principle of our discipline.

Turning weakness into strength

is the key to Pokémon Jujitsu.

- Yes.

I understand, Teacher.

- Veno!

- Pokémon Johto!

Pokémon Johto!

- Well, Aya,
you were right.

We all learned a lot here.

- Come back any time
for a refresher course.

- And you're welcome
to return for another

Spinarak Face Pack,
young lady.

- I'm not sure
I can face that again.

- To-gi!

- Farewell, not good-bye

for we shall meet again!

- Okay.

- Come on, Brock,
we got to get going.

- See you!
- Bye, thanks!

- Good luck
on your Journey!

narrator: As she waves
good-bye to our heroes,

Aya knows they take with them
some important lessons,

lessons that will serve them
well on the road to Johto.

- We're just like
three little flies!

- Well,
we don't have wings,

so hold on tight!

- Is this what they mean
by "being on the web?"

- Wob-buh!
- [groans]

- Meowth said "web," you blob,
not "wob!"

- Get back in your ball!

all: Huh?

Not again!

ting!

- Wob-buh!

- Let's do it.
