05x31 - Some Like It Hot!

[bunniefuu]

male narrator: Ash, Brock,
and Misty continue their journey

to Blackthorn City
with Ash's final Badge

as the driving force.

Not even rough terrain
or warm temperatures

can deter these heroes.

- Only one more badge
left to win.

And this one's
gonna be a piece of cake.

- Pika, Pika.

- Ash sure is fired up.

- Talk about being fired up.

I'm boiling hot.

- Well, there are a lot of
volcanoes in these mountains.

And when you add in all
of the hot springs around here,

it can get pretty toasty.

- Well, I'm toast.

[singing]
- Pokémon!

- No time to question
my moves

I stick to the path
that I choose

Me and my friends
are gonna do it right

You'll never see us
run away from a fight

To be a Master
is my dream

All I've got to do
is believe

- I believe

- I've got a chance
to win

I'm on my way
to victory

- Pokémon!
- I can be a champion

If I just believe

I'm on a Master Quest

- Master Quest

- I want the whole world
to see

- I believe

- I'm gonna be
the very best

'Cause all I've got to do
is believe in me

- Pokémon!

- Ah, nothing like a hot spring
to melt away your troubles.

- I can feel my stress
just fading away.

- Mother Nature got it right
with these things.

- Wobbuffet.

- Your blubbering blueness
doesn't even bug me.

I'll just lie here blissfully
and ignore.

- Hate to disturb
your blissfulness,

but it's the twerps!

- Not now.

- But we're soaking.

- Well, we could just
ignore them.

- They're the main reason
for our stress to begin with.

all: Ooh.

- This place is famous
for those big old geezers.

- Yes, and they say the geysers
are fairly renowned as well.

Lucky we sat here.

[rumbling]
- Huh?

- But luck is fleeting,
isn't it?

- I think it's fleeting away
from us right now.

- Wobbuffet!

- Team Rocket's
blasting off again!

- Wobbu!

- It's hot.

- Brutal.

- Blistering.

- Do you have to keep whining
about the heat, Ash?

It's only making me
feel hotter.

- Misty, you're doing
the complaining.

- Oh, really?

So that whiny voice
I've been hearing is my own?

- There's enough hot air
without you two adding to it.

- Magcargo.

- Huh?

[all gasp]

- What kind of Pokémon
is that?

- Magcargo, the Lava Pokémon.

Magcargo lives primarily
in volcanic regions

and occasionally
emits the lava

from its back
that circles its body.

- That's amazing.

- Wow.

- This area is crawling
with wild Magcargo.

- So obviously they like
this awful heat.

- Magcargo.

Magcargo.

- Fine for them, but not for us.
Let's go.

- Right.
- Pikachu.

- Ah, finally.

It's starting to cool down.

- What a relief.

- Togepi.

[all gasp]
- Pika?

- That Magcargo's huge.

- Strange place for a nap.

- Okay, how are we supposed
to get by this giant roadblock?

- Hmm.

- Pika.

- Magcargo, wake up.

We need to get past you.

Okay?

- Hello?

- We're sorry, but we need
to get through here, Magcargo,

and you're blocking our way.

Genius move sleeping in the
middle of the road like that.

- Pika!
- Huh?

- [growls]

- Run for it!

[all scream]
- Pika!

- Guys, hit the dirt!

- That's not nice.
- Pika!

- Thanks for nearly
roasting us.

We just wanted
to get past you.

- That's right,
you big red road hog!

[Magcargo roars]

- Now that's a bad temper.

- Pika.

- I think that snail's
got issues.

- [ yawns]

- Issues or not,
Magcargo's not moving.

- Well, we gotta do something.
Right, Pikachu?

- Pika.
- Hold on.

- A Water type is better
against a Fire type.

Just leave this one to me.

- Staryu, I choose you.

- Psyduck.

- Not again, Psyduck.

I didn't tell you
to come out of your ball.

- Psy...

Duck!

- [growls]

- [screams]

- Psyduck!

- Psyduck, why do you
even bother

if you're just
gonna run away?

- Psy.

- Get ready, Magcargo.

- Poliwhirl, let's go.

- Poliwhirl.

- Poliwhirl, Water g*n now.

- Poliwhirl.

- [all gasp]
- Pika?

- Hey, that's not fair.

We don't have a shell
to hide in.

- Togepi.

- [grunts]

- What's that?
- Magcargo's Rock Slide.

- Dodge it now,
Poliwhirl.

- Poliwhirl. Poli.

- Magcargo!

- A Body Slam.
- Look out.

- Dodge it again,
Poliwhirl.

- Poliwhirl.

Poliwhirl!

- Poliwhirl.

- Poliwhirl, no.

Here, hold Togepi.

- Whirl.
- Poliwhirl, are you okay?

- Poli.

- Thank you, Poliwhirl.

You did a really great job
today.

- [laughing]
- Huh?

- I've been checking out
your attack moves

ever since
your battle began.

I guess you gave it a shot,
but man, oh, man were you shaky.

- Who made you an expert
on my battle techniques?

- Ah, cool it, sis.

I'll be over in a flash.

[whimpers]

- Hey, might wanna think twice
about that jump, kid.

- Mind your own beeswax.
I've got Fire Spirit.

[yells]

[crashes]

[groaning]

- Hey, kid, are you okay?

- Pikachu.

- Ha! What that?

It was nothing.

Just a clever ploy to get my
opponents to lower their guard.

- All right, expert.
Tell me about my battling.

- It's so obvious
it's not even funny.

You didn't even stand
half a chance.

How can you win
if you keep running away?

- What'd you say?

- Please allow me to show you
how it's done.

Magcargo. Ah!

- Wait, Magcargo.
Wait up for me.

- [grumbling]

- I can't believe it.
Just look what she's done.

- This is all your fault

for being such a second-rate,
loser-class battler.

- If I'm gonna be this mad
at someone,

at least I should know
their name.

- All right,
the name's Egan.

- The game? Fire Pokémon.

You've seen the rest,
but now check out the best.

I'm the best Fire Pokémon
Trainer around.

- Call me
the Prince of Fire.

- The Prince?
- The Prince?

- Toge?

- I hate to extinguish
your fire,

but someone's
gotta do it quick.

- Now that's a laugh.
What are you, a fireman?

- Get real.

- You are now gazing
at the up-and-coming

world's greatest
Water Pokémon Trainer

past, present and future.

- My closest friends
call me Misty,

but you may address me
as the Water Princess.

- Pikachu.

- Now this should be
interesting.

- Oh, please.

What's so great
about Water Pokémon anyway?

- Plenty, especially when
it comes to putting out fires.

- You got something to say
about Fire Pokémon, then say it.

- I am saying it, buster.

- Now, now, kids.
Settle down.

- If you can't get along,

then the two of you will just
have to take a time-out.

- The only fire you'll see
is when you crash and burn.

- Yeah? Trying to beat
my Pokémon

would be like throwing
a drop of water

on a -alarm forest fire.

- Oh, give me a break.

My Water Pokémon would turn
your Fire Pokémon

into nothing more
than a pathetic puff of smoke.

- Take that back!
- I will not!

- Want trouble?
- Bring it on.

- You know, it's too late to say
you're sorry, Your Highness.

- Right back at you times
a hundred, Your Lowness.

- How much longer
can it possibly go on?

- Pika.

- [growls]

This is just
a waste of my time.

- Oh, running away?

- I'm already bored with this,

and I came here in the first
place to capture Magcargo.

And I can battle washed-up
Trainers any day.

- Later.
- Hey!

- If me and my Poliwhirl
couldn't capture it,

then good luck to you
and your fire phonies.

- Well, the good news is that
Magcargo's moved out of the way.

- Pika, Pika!

- Ah, I've never had a more
refreshing blastoff.

- It was a rather abrupt exit,
but I feel like a million bucks.

- Me too. I could see soaking in
those hot springs all day long.

- Wobbuffet.

- Well, you can't.
It's back to stealing Pikachu.

- There's another hot spring
calling our name.

- [all scream]

- I can't believe
twice in one day!

- You'd think we learned
our lesson!

- It seems we're none
the geyser!

- all: We're blasting off again!
- Wobbuffet.

- Who's that Pokémon?

It's Mantine.

- Oh, that kid has
such an attitude.

Anyone who thinks
that Fire Pokémon rule

needs to have their head
examined.

- [all gasp]

- Hey, you guys.

Have you seen that Magcargo
running around here?

- Why no.
Haven't you captured it?

- Are you making fun of me?

- Oh, I wouldn't dream of it.

- Pikachu!
- It's that Magcargo.

- Huh? Hey!
Magcargo, stop!

- Huh?

- Today's the day
you're gonna get caught.

We're ready. Are you?

- [growls]

- Flareon, let's do it.

- Flare.

- Flamethrower now,
Flareon.

- Flare!

- That's what happened to me.

- Toge.

- [roars]

- [screams]

- Flareon, dodge it
using Quick attack.

- [yelps]

- Gotta stand up, Flareon.

- [whimpers]

Flare.

- Let's turn on the heat
with Flamethrower.

- [shrieks]

- Hiding in your shell
like that

is a loser's way to battle,
you know.

- [roars]

- [screams]

- Stay with it, Flareon.

Hang tough.

- [whimpers]

- Magcargo.

- That Body Slam.

- Now dodge it, Flareon.

- Stay out of this.

- Flareon,
Flaming Tackle attack now.

- [shrieks]

- Magcargo!

- Get up, Flareon.

- Flareon's really
exhausted.

You should call it quits, Egan.

- Uh-uh, no way.
Flareon, don't you let me down.

Burn like a Fire Pokémon!

- [shrieks]

- Cargo!

- Flareon, use Flamethrower.

- [screams]

- Flareon, no!
- This looks bad.

- [laughs]

- It'll take more than that
to finish my Flareon.

Huh? What happened?

- Magcargo.

- Come on, Flareon.
You're okay, right?

- [whimpers]

Great job.
You deserve a good rest.

- That was really close.

- Yeah, Egan. Great battle.

- Don't give me that.
Just go ahead and laugh.

- [laughs]

- Uh, hey, Misty?

- I didn't mean really laugh!

- But don't they say that
laughter is the best medicine?

Then you should start
taking a dose of it now, right?

- Huh?

- Right?

- Uh, well, maybe.

What? What am I saying?

The answer to that is no.

- Listen to me, hothead.

We're just trying to help you,
get it?

- I don't need any help from
some two-bit water-logged girl.

- I'd say that
you do need help,

because you're just
a one-trick Trainer.

- Take it back.

- Now, now, now.

It seems to me our blood sugar's
a bit on the low side.

How about we all have
some lunch?

- Huh?

- Great idea.

I'm starving,
and Brock's cooking is awesome.

- Pika, Pika.

- Hmm. I'm not really
that hungry,

but I wouldn't want
to be rude either.

[stomach gurgles]

- So I guess it's your stomach
that tells the truth.

- Yeah? Who asked you?

- Oh, well what could we do with
that red, slimy thing anyway?

- I just thought if they were
going to capture

that massive Magcargo,

we could've grabbed Pikachu,
had a two-for-one heist

and doubled our dollars.

- Well, two for one or none,
I vote that we break for lunch.

- Have you possibly forgotten
that we have no food?

- But those twerps do,

so we'll poach their Pikachu
and their picnic.

- Very practical.

- Oh, is it just me
or is it suddenly warm?

- Feels like someone's broiling
my backside.

- Cargo.

- Huh?

- That snail's
been roasting our tails!

Team Rocket's
blazing off again!

- Wobbuffet!

- Mmm, that was so good.

You know, I think mealtime
is my favorite time.

- What a surprise, Ash.

- Mmm.

- Hot chocolate for you.

- Hey, great.
Thanks, Misty.

- Looks like your Flareon
sure is hungry.

- I know.
Especially after that battle.

- Flare!

- You know, I'm feeling
kind of bad

about the way I kept pushing
Flareon so hard back there

when it was probably
too tired.

- Seems to me Flareon's
well taken care of

and perfectly happy.

- Of course it is.

There's nothing in the world

that I wouldn't do
for my Pokémon.

- I know that.

- But as soon
as I'm battling,

it's like a fire starts
building up inside of me

that gets hotter and hotter.

It feels like if I don't
keep up the attacks

I'll just burn up.

- [purrs]

- I can understand how you feel,
you know.

- Hmm?

- When I get caught up
in the heat of the battle,

it's like I have to win
or else.

- Yeah, you do have
a pretty bad temper.

- All right, you don't have
to get nasty about it, you know.

I'm just trying to help.

- Sorry.

- Let's just drop it.

- Tell me why you love
Water Pokémon.

- Okay.

The reason they're so awesome
is that they're just like water.

Always changing
and adapting.

- Hold on a minute.

Isn't water just water?

- Well, think of it this way.

When you pour some water
into a tall glass,

it takes that shape.

Into a cup,
it takes that shape.

- Hmm.

- You see, no matter what kind
of attack a Water Pokémon faces,

it changes its moves to fit
the situation, like water.

The quicker one can adapt
to any type of battle strategy,

the more likely they're going
to win the battle, get it?

- I guess so.

But I don't recall seeing
any of those genius moves

in your last battle.

- Did you hear a word I said?

- I did, and I'll keep it
all in mind

when Flareon and I go after
that big old Magcargo again.

- You'll thank me.
You'll see.

- [chuckling]

- Hey, it's Magcargo.

- Ah.
- What do you know.

- Pika.

- [grunts]

- This is it.
Your luck has just run out.

- Flareon, let's get busy.

- Flare!

- [roars]

- Always adapt.
Like water.

- Flareon, check out the flow
of those rocks.

Learn where they're going
and then dodge them.

- Awesome.

- Those stones aren't
even touching Flareon.

- All right, Flareon.
Flamethrower.

- [shrieks]

- Cargo.

- Smooth and steady,
Flareon.

Now get on top of Magcargo.

- Flare!

Flareon.
- Magcargo?

- Flareon, Flamethrower.

- What a great move.

Talk about
going with the flow.

- Now that's showing him
who's the boss.

- Magcargo! Magcargo!

- Hold on tight
or you'll get thrown off.

- [whimpers]

- Flareon,
use Flamethrower again.

- Magcargo.

Cargo.

- Ah!
- It's back in its shell.

- Not a problem.

Tackle it now.

- Flare!

Flare. Flare!

- Magcargo.

- Now finish this thing up
with Flamethrower.

- [shrieks]

- Cargo!

Magcargo.

- Excellent.

Go, Pokéball.

[Pokéball beeping]

[beeping stops]

- Yay!

- Magcargo's yours.

- We did it! We did it!
We did it! We did it!

Wait. That's my Pokéball.

- Prepare for trouble
like a hot lava flow.

- And make it double
or to the showers you'll go.

- To protect our team
from the volcano's wrath.

- We keep cool while you get
a molten rock bath.

- To denounce truth and love
from my very first pitch.

- Hit it out of the park,
wouldn't that be a switch?

- Jessie.
- James.

- Winding up,
we prepare for a home run.

- Keep your eye on the ball.
Here comes a hard one.

- I thought this was softball.

- Team Rocket!

- Give back my Pokéball.

- Uh, uh, uh.

You shouldn't have said that.

- If you really want it that
badly, then we want it too.

- Think of it like this:

there's no point in stealing
if no one cares.

- You're not gonna get away.

- This is us getting away.

- Give back my Magcargo,
you crooks!

- Poliwhirl, let's go.

- Poliwhirl.

- Poliwhirl,
use Water g*n now.

- Poliwhirl.

- Ah!
- I got it.

Thanks, Misty.

- You're very welcome.

- Not so fast.
Arbok, let's go.

- Victreebel, you too.

- [shrieks]
- This really has to stop.

- Magcargo.

- Magcargo!

- Arbok, Poison Sting attack.

- Victreebel,
Razor Leaf attack.

- [shrieks]

- Poliwhirl, Water g*n now.

- Magcargo,
Flamethrower.

- Poliwhirl.

- [grunts]

- Misty, let's attack together.

- Okay.

- Magcargo, Flamethrower.

- Poliwhirl, Water g*n.

- Poliwhirl.
- Magcargo!

- [shrieks]

- It's cold! It's hot!
It's hot! It's cold!

- All right, Pikachu.
Thunderbolt attack.

- Pika! Pikachu!

- [all scream]

- Team Rocket's
blasting off again!

- Wobbu!

- You were awesome back there,
Misty.

- Thanks a lot, Egan.

- You know what?

Water Pokémon are pretty cool
after all.

- And yours are cool too,

for Fire types, of course.

- [laughs]

- You always gotta get
the last word in, don't you?

- Well, if I don't,
then you will.

- [both laugh]

- Guess we'll settle this thing
next time.

- Sounds like a deal.

- Togepi.

- Take care of those
Water Pokémon.

- Okay.

- See you later, guys.

- Take care.
- Take care.

- Pikachu.

- You too.
- Bye, now.

The road to becoming a Pokémon
Master is a long one,
