05x37 - Wish Upon a Star Shape

Post by bunniefuu »

male narrator: Our heroes come
to the end of another day

on the road
to Blackthorn City,

surrounded by the Pokémon
they care so much about.

And now that the sun has set,

a beautiful full moon
catches their eyes.

- It looks close enough
to touch.

- It feels good
to just take a break

and relax
for a little while.

- Pikachu.

- I suppose, but I'm happy
taking a break to chow down.

- What a surprise, Ash, that
your stomach is most important.

Try and appreciate
some other things.

- Toge-toge!

- Like a sh**ting star?

- Let's make a wish,
okay, guys?

- I wish I'd catch a Water
Pokémon no one's ever seen.

- I wish I'd meet up
with the girl of my dreams.

- I wish I was in Blackthorn
City winning my next badge.

Huh? That's weird.
The star's still sh**ting.

- Great, if not the girl
of my dreams, then cute's okay.

- Hold on.

I've never seen
a sh**ting star do that before.

- Huh?

You're right.
That's not a star.

- Guys, do you think
it could be a UFO?

- Pika!

- [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

And 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

And I believe

I'm gonna be the very best

'Cause all I've got to do

Is believe in me

- Pokémon

[all gasping]

- Something just shot out.

- Phanpy! Phan!

- Ah! Phanpy.

- What is that thing
that fell out?

[warbling]
all: Huh?

- Looks like that flying saucer

went down on the other side
of that mountain.

- I think so.

Let's hurry
and go see what it was.

- Pika!

- Interesting.
You see what I saw?

- Of course I did.

- Cleffa? Cleffa.

- What's this Pokémon?

- It's a Cleffa.

- Cleffa shot out of a UFO
and landed on Phanpy?

Well, the good news is,

Phanpy acted as a cushion
and saved Cleffa's life.

- Hey, you're a hero.

Wake up.
Let's celebrate.

- Cleffa!

- Phanpy. Phan!
- Cleffa.

- Cleffa, you're really lucky.

- And so am I.

I've never seen a Cleffa
up close before.

- And it's so cute.

- Pika, Pika.
- Toge.

- Cleffa, the Star Shape
Pokémon.

Cleffa is the pre-evolved form
of Clefairy.

Their star shape
has led some to believe

that they reach the Earth
riding on sh**ting stars.

Strangely, many Cleffa
are often found

on nights of meteor showers.

- Phanpy! Phan!

- Cleffa sure seems
to like Phanpy a lot.

- I'm sure Cleffa's grateful
that Phanpy saved its life.

- It looks to me like
the feeling is mutual.

- Cleffa. Cleffa. Cleffa.

Cleffa! Cleffa!

- Look at that.

Cleffa seems to be crying
about that spaceship.

- I wonder if it could be
a Clefairy spaceship

like that one
we saw before.

- Hmm.
- I'll bet it is.

- Since Cleffa
evolve into Clefairy,

I bet this Cleffa has a bunch
of Clefairy friends

on that spaceship.

- So now it must want to
go back there

to make sure that everyone's
okay.

- What are we waiting for?
Let's help Cleffa find out.

- Pika!

- Phanpy. Phan.

- Cleffa. Cleffa.

- It's a bit of a hike,
so we'd better get going.

- Right.
- Pika.

- Twerps spotted straight ahead
and identified.

- With that Pikachu poised
to be plucked.

- Hey, check this out.

Get a load of
that peculiar Pokémon.

both: Hmm.

- My stars.

An ever-so-rare Cleffa.

- All right,
so today is

a "steal one,
get a pink one free" day.

all: Huh?

- And who are they?

- Hmm.

[camera shutters click]

- Cleffa. Cleffa.

- Excuse me.

Why are you
taking all those pictures?

- There's no mistaking it.

- There's proof,
without a doubt.

- An extraterrestrial Cleffa
that fell out of that UFO.

- That's right.
Extraterrestrial.

- Phanpy. Phanpy.

- Hold on.

- Who are you guys, anyway?

And what do you want?

- Wherever there is mystery
in the world...

- There will always be Pokémon
to be found there as well.

- And we'll be there too.

- The Pokémon Mystery Club.

both: PMC!

- I'm Ken.
- Mary.

- Just to be clear,

it stands for
Pokémon Mystery Club.

We're a Pokémon research
organization

with a worldwide network.

- We of the PMC
strongly theorize

that Cleffa have originated
in outer space.

But it would be best
to actually have the Cleffa.

- Therefore, if you'd be so kind
as to hand it over...

- Hey, not so fast.

- Yeah, how do we know that you
guys are telling us the truth

and you're not really
from Team Rocket?

- Team Rocket?

- How dare you even utter
their disgusting and foul name

in the presence
of PMC members?

- Wait. Foul?

- How dare you curse the name of
our well-respected organization?

- That's right.

- Team Rocket.
- Well, what do you know.

- Oh, boy.

What brings you
dunderheads here?

- Prepare for trouble because
you've got us all wrong.

- I'd prefer you make it double.

And if you want to,
then sing along.

- 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 blasts off
at the speed of light.

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

- Meowth, that's right.

- Wobbuffet.

- I think that Cleffa's gonna
be an out-of-this-world addition

to our little team.

both: Please.
all: Huh?

- Just hold it right there.

- And Team Rocket beware.

both: PMC!

- Tell them, Mary.

- It'll be a cold day
on the sun

when you get your hands
on Cleffa.

- Now! You ready?
- Always.

[both grunting]

all: Huh?

- Pika?

- Ah!
- Look at that.

- We could never afford
something like that.

- Does that mean that PMC's
a better team than us?

- [clears throat]

As we were saying
before the interruption...

- The Cleffa goes with us.

- Oh, yeah?
- Pika.

- Run, Phanpy.
- Pika!

- Phanpy. Phan.

- Cleffa's escaping
into the woods.

- But not for long.

[c*ck weapon]

- Pikachu,
Thunderbolt Attack.

- Pika.

Pikachu!

[all scream]

- We should go find them.

- Let's hurry before
the smoke clears.

- Yeah. Come on, Pikachu.
Let's go.

- Pika.

all: Wait!

- [coughs]

I really hate
when that happens.

- So do I.

- Time for us
to get the pests.

- Only we can be the best.

both: PMC!

- [panting]

I'm pretty sure
that Cleffa and Phanpy

went running in this direction,
right, Pikachu?

- Pika.

- Over that mountain?

- They must be headed
for that spaceship.

- This is ridiculous.

Where did those two
crazy-looking Pokémon run to?

- Darn that Phanpy.

It's been disloyal to us
from the get-go.

- There was a sense of loyalty
to one of us.

Anyway, this divining stick

will show us
which way they went.

- That way.
- Hooray.

- Let's begin
high-speed pursuit.

both: Wait!
all: Hmm?

- Did you fools just fall off
the turnip truck?

- No stupid stick is going
to point your sorry selves

in Cleffa's direction.

- Why don't you butt out?

- Unless of course
you have a better idea.

- Let's hear it.

- Fine, then.

Let's show them some more
PMC technology.

- With pleasure.

[both grunting]

- Great. A new toy.

- I'm sure they're all paid up
on their dues too.

both: Ah!

- Don't you think
it's a bit bright?

- I've gone blind!

- Mary,
input the Cleffa's data

into our Super GTS
Pokémon-tracking device.

- Right.
Extraterrestrial Cleffa.

Height: centimeters.
Weight: kilograms.

Last seen riding
on Phanpy's back.

- Voilà. And there they are.

- Ha! That's right.

Identity of Cleffa
and Phanpy verified.

- Bravo.

Shall we bring out
our next mecha-marvel?

- Oh, yes.

[both grunting]

- Talk about overkill.

- Showing off's one thing,
but this is ridiculous.

all: Ah!

- So let's go show that Cleffa
who's the boss, shall we?

- Yes, sir.
All gassed up and ready.

- A simple "excuse me."

- Try working
on your manners, please.

- Thank you.

- Phanpy. Phan.

Phanpy.

- The Cleffa
is directly ahead.

- We've got it now.

We'll corner them
at the cliff.

- Phan. Phan!

Phan!

Phan! Phan!

Phan!

Phan! Phan!

Phan.
- Cleffa.

- You were right.
Cornered, ready, and waiting.

- That was almost too easy.

- Cleffa.
- Phan.

Phanpy. Phan.
Phanpy. Phan. Phan.

- Cleffa.

- Phan.

- No! Follow them!

- Got it.

- Phanpy.
- Cleffa.

- Go to Plan B.

- Right here.

- We'll use our harpoons
to get to the other side.

Release!

Who's that?

- Who would dare
get in our way?

[laughter]

- Just us little old team
of dunderheads.

- Sometimes known
as foul and disgusting.

- So pardon us as we foul up
your plans.

- Wobbuffet!

- Let's get them.

- Of course.

- No matter what, we can't let
them get ahead of us.

- What's with the plunger?

- You're not going
anywhere.

- We just wanted
to hitch a ride.

- Looks like those guys
are still at it.

- They sure love to fight,
don't they?

- Hey, Ash.
This could be our chance.

- Perfect.

We can get to Phanpy and Cleffa
before they notice.

- Let's go.

- Pika.

[panting]

- Do you think Phanpy made it

across this tree
without falling?

- Pikachu made it across
with no problem.

I'm sure they did too.

- Come on, Ash, we've just got
to keep moving.

- Yeah, you're right.
Come on.

- Phanpy. Phan.

- Cleffa!
- Phanpy.

Phan, Phanpy, Phan.

- Pika?

- Hey, wait up!

- Pika, Pika!

- Did you find something,
Pikachu?

- Pika.
all: Huh? Ah!

- Wow. Look, guys.

- It really is Clefairy's
spaceship.

- Who's that Pokémon?

It's Voltorb.

- Clefairy. Fairy.

Clefairy, Clefairy.

- Yep, it's those Clefairy
again.

- Pika.

- I don't think they were
planning to land.

They really messed up
their ship this time.

- I remember last time.

They had to go all over town
looking for parts

to repair their ship.

- But now they're in the middle
of the mountains,

and there aren't
any parts anywhere.

- Well, that would explain
why they look so worried.

- Phanpy!
all: Huh?

- Phanpy! Phan! Phanpy! Phan!
- Phanpy!

- Phan.
- Cleffa.

Fairy, Fairy. Clefairy.

Clefairy! Clefairy!

- So that Cleffa really was
with all those Clefairy.

- And Phanpy
brought it back.

- They look so relieved.

- Togepi.

- Pika. Pikachu.

- Clefairy.

- Cleffa!
- Fairy!

all: Huh?
- The PMC again.

- The time has come.

We must now share our discovery
with the world.

- A great discovery it is.

- While legend has it
that Cleffa came to Earth

on sh**ting stars,

in actuality, they've been
coming here in spaceships.

- We've done it.

We've solved yet another one
of our world's mysteries.

- Yes, but of course.

[laughter]

both: Huh?

- The next mystery you can solve
is how Team Rocket

stole your discovery.

- So what if you have
more money,

better toys
and matching jumpsuits?

We've upgraded
our Meowth balloon.

- To the robotic
transformer model

with rear-seat cup holders.

[all panting]

- Commence with
the transformation.

- One, two.
- Three, four.

both: Team Rocket's
who we're rooting for.

- More.

both: One, two, three, four.

Team Rocket's
who we're rooting for.

- More!

both: Red, blue, black, white,

Team Rocket's
gonna win this fight.

- That's right!

- Hey!
- What is that?

- Now we will identify
the unidentified flying Pokémon.

- I feel a fat raise
in our future.

- Activating the claw.

- Cleffa!
- Phanpy!

- Don't worry, Phanpy.
We'll take care of them.

Pikachu, Thunderbolt.
Let's go!

- Pikachu!

- Ha!

- Pika?
- It didn't do anything.

- [cackles]

Give it up.
This mechanical Meowth

is equipped with
electrical shielding.

- Clefairy! Clefairy!

all: Clefairy! Clefairy!
Clefairy!

- All right, that's it.

You've tried our patience
to the limit

with your low-tech
lameness.

Now, Mary,
this is the perfect time

to unveil our secret device.

- Right away.

[both grunting]

- Watch in amazement

as we construct what is
without a doubt

the greatest offensive device
the PMC has ever created.

- Worried yet?
- He's just bluffing.

- We're not afraid.

- Behold the Tri-tipped
Dual-gripped Masher Monster.

[all gasping]

- Work your magic.
- Hang on.

- Oh, yeah?

- We'll show you.

- We won't lose
to those amateurs.

- You already have.

- You'll never beat
the PMC.

- Enough.

This hand-to-hand combat
is going nowhere.

All right, Meowth, bring on
the emergency backup bit.

- You got it.

Preparing the hyperventilated
carbon calibrated cannon.

Fire!

Okay, a bit anticlimactical.

- Excuse me, but is anyone
other than me feeling a draft?

- It does feel
a bit brisk in here.

Huh?

[all scream]

- We're being taken apart
piece by piece

by those pesky Clefairian
space ba*ls.

- Ah, now I remember.

Those are the same little
pink pirates we saw before.

both: Team Rocket's
deflating again.

- [laughs]

There's nothing
standing in the way

of claiming that Cleffa now.

- So let the claiming begin.
both: Huh?

- No! Those extraterrestrials

have moved on
to stealing our parts.

- Clefairy. Clefairy.

- All right, Phanpy,
now go and take Cleffa

back to the Clefairy, okay?

- Phanpy.

- Clef. Clef!

- Something's strange about
the sound of those engines.

- They're having trouble,

or they would've
taken off already.

- It's possible
that they're still in there,

working on some
last-minute repairs.

- Now look what you've done.

Thanks to your showing off,
the Clefairy are taking off.

It's time now for our two teams
to work together

and catch those puny
pink Pokémon

and the flying saucer
they rode in on, okay?

- She's right.
We've got no other choice.

- We have no other devices
either.

- That's no good.
Are you sure?

- Very. We're all out.

- Then call
the PMC headquarters

and tell them to send
reinforcements!

- Well, there's just one problem
with that.

Membership to our club
is quite exclusive.

- So exclusive, in fact,

that we're the only two members
right now.

all: What?

- We've been wasting our time
with a two-bit twosome?

- Right.

- I'm Ken.
- Mary.

both: We are the PMC.

PMC!

- You can save your little
cheerleading routine

for someone else!

both: Ah! Whatever you say!

[all panting]

- PMC and Team Rocket
are working together.

- And they're headed
straight for the spaceship.

- Oh, yeah?

Stop them with your
Thunderbolt Attack, Pikachu.

- Pikachu!

[all scream]

- Okay, Phanpy.
Rollout attack.

- Phanpy!

Phanpy, Phanpy, Phanpy, Phanpy,
Phanpy, Phanpy.

both: Team Rocket's
blasting off again!

both: With PMC!

- The spaceship's starting
to take off.

- Oh, no.
Cleffa's not on board yet.

- Toge.

- Hurry up and get on board,
Cleffa--now!

- Cleffa. Cleffa.

Cleffa.

- Phan.

- Clef...

- Phan.

- Clefairy!

- Cleffa. Cleffa!

Cleffa.

- Fairy! Fairy! Fairy!

- Hold on!

Stop the spaceship
and wait for Cleffa.

- I don't think that they can.

It looks to me like they still
might be having some trouble

with the engines.

- But wait. Cleffa.
all: Huh?

- Cleffa.

- Look at that.

- It's evolving
into Clefairy.

- Clefairy?

- You're right.
And Clefairy's able to fly away.

- Pika.

- Togepi.

- Phan.

- Clefairy.

- Phan. Phan!

- Fairy. Clefairy.

Clefairy!

- Phanpy.

Phanpy.

- I wonder if it was
Phanpy's kindness

that allowed it
to evolve.

- You know,
I'll bet that helped it along.

- Phan.

- Try not to be
so sad, Phanpy.

I know that you'll be seeing
those Clefairy again some day.

I promise.

- Pika, Pika.

- Phan.

male narrator:
Do Cleffa and Clefairy

truly come
from outer space?

We may never know,

but our heroes
now continue their journey

with thoughts of the distant
reaches of the universe.

- I'm on a Master Quest

- Pokémon

- I'm on a Master Quest

- Pokémon

- These mysterious crop circles
have long baffled mankind.

- But we know
that there are Pokémon

behind this unsolved
mystery.

- To seek the truth
that sets us free.

- To solve another mystery.

- Accept no other sub.

- Pokémon Mystery Club.

both: PMC!

- I knew it.

Behind every seeming mystery
lies a Pokémon answer.

- These mysterious
crop circles

have made their appearance
in fields for years.

If you were to listen
to research,

it'd lead you to believe
that they're left behind

by landing UFOs.

- When in fact they're shaped by
a Snorlax turning in its sleep.

- Ah!

- Whoa!

The PMC...

- Will never give up!

- No time to question my moves

I stick to the path
that I choose

Me and my friends
are gonna do it right

To be a master
is my dream

All I've got to do
is believe

And I believe

I'm on a Master Quest

Master Quest

I want the whole world to see

And I believe

I'm gonna be the very best

'Cause all I've got to do

Is believe in me
