05x46 - Why? Wynaut!

Post by bunniefuu »

male narrator: With
the long-awaited eighth badge

safely inside of Ash's vest,

our heroes must now return
to New Bark Town

to register for entry

into the Johto League
Silver Conference!

- All right, I'm gonna win
at the Silver Conference!

- Pika, Pika!

- Fine and dandy,
but can we take a rest for now?

- [trills]
both: Huh?

- Look, a tunnel.

- Maybe it's a shortcut
to the ocean.

- To the ocean?

Last one there's
a rotten egg!

[together] Uh, okay.

- 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

- Hey, Brock,
you were right.

- Just smell that ocean air.

- What a great find, huh?

- Everybody,
come on out!

- Corsola!

- Goldeen, Goldeen.

- Politoed, Politoed,
Politoed.

- Goldeen.
- Corsola!

- Politoed, Politoed,
Politoed.

- Politoed, don't you
want to go for a swim too?

- Toed!

- [grunts]

- Hi, Psyduck.

- Psyduck!

- Aw, what were you thinking,
Psyduck?

You still don't know
how to swim.

- [chirps]

- This shoreline should take us
straight to New Bark Town.

[together] Huh?

- The Pokémon synchronized
swimming event straight ahead.

- Do my eyes deceive me,
or is this possibly true,

a show where tons
of pretty girls

in bathing suits
perform alongside Pokémon?

Hold on, girls, 'cause
Brock's on his way!

Feet, don't fail me now!

- Brock, wait up!
- Wait for us!

- Hello.

We're here for the Pokémon
synchronized swimming event?

- Ah, perfect timing, folks,

'cause it's
just about to begin.

- Whoa,
look at that huge stadium.

I can't wait to see
all those beautiful girls.

- This is called a Pokémon
swimming event, you know.

- Maybe it'll be
like the Cerulean Gym.

- Oh, yes!

Magnificent memories
of vivacious Violet,

delightful Daisy,
and the lovely Lily.

If this is one
half as good as that,

I'll be one happy breeder.

- Calm down.

[trumpet fanfare]

- Hey, it's showtime.

- [buzzing]
- [squeaking]

- Qwilfish.

- Okay, looks like all
the water Pokémon are out.

Now bring on the pretty girls
in their bathing suits.

Huh?

Something's wrong.

Don't tell me it's a man!

- Go!

- Qwilfish.
- [squeaking]

- It's just not right.
This should be ill*gal.

- But, Brock,
he looks really good.

You should watch him.

- He's doing a great job
with Qwilfish.

- Yeah!
- Qwilfish!

- Look at him go!

- Those Pokémon are something,
aren't they?

- Their talents and abilities
are worthy of note.

- No, not that.

- She means that those
Pokémon'll be something to catch

and then hand over
to the boss, see?

- Of course.

- The boss'll awake
after a good night's sleep,

walk outside,
and peel off his robe

for a mornin' dip.

- He is wearing
swimming trunks, right?

- Makes a perfect dive
into his perfect pool.

- Poetic.

- As he starts his laps,

he'll say to himself...

- What'll he say?

- "Since I got
these water Pokémon

"cheering me on every morning
while I do my laps,

"I've been so very happy.

"And of course,
I've got Jessie, James,

"and that wonderful Meowth
to thank

for all this
blissful bliss."

Yep.

- Very nice dream.

- So let's catch 'em
and make dreams come true!

[together] Right.

- How'd you guys
like the show?

- It was awesome.
- Pika, Pika!

- A couple of pretty girls
in swimsuits

wouldn't have hurt you.

- Huh?
- He said he loved it too.

So do you run this water show
all by yourself?

- Yeah, I'm also
the gym leader here.

- Huh?
- You mean this is a gym?

- Yep,
it's the Coastline Gym.

My name's Dorian,
and I'm the guy in charge here.

- I'm Ash from Pallet Town.

- And I'm Misty.

- And my name's Brock.

- I've never heard
of the Coastline Gym.

- Yeah, me either.

- Well, I'm not surprised.

Come on, I'll give you guys
the grand tour.

[all gasp]

Welcome to the inner workings
of the Coastline Gym.

- Everything's all underwater.

Cool.
- Wow.

Brock, look.
- Lily and Violet and Daisy.

- Huh?

So you've been
to the Cerulean Gym?

[together] Of course.

- But how do you know
about the Cerulean Gym, Dorian?

- I've dreamt of having a gym
just like it.

- And why's that?

- I've always loved
water Pokémon,

and I've been to
the Cerulean Gym tons of times.

My dream
is to someday make my gym

just like the Cerulean Gym.

- So that's why you're doing

Pokémon synchronized
swimming shows.

- Right.

But for the time being,
it's still a private gym.

- A private gym?

- I guess that's why
we've never heard of it before.

- Okay, did the trainers
at the Cerulean Gym

mention anything
about a sister?

- Uh, let me see.

There was Lily and Daisy

and, of course, Violet.

- Uh-huh, that's right.

- And that's basically it.

- Come on,

cuter, far more superior
to the other three.

- Aah!
Now I remember.

- Yes, yes?
So tell me.

- Well, they did mention
they had a younger sister,

but she
was pretty out of control,

a bit of a loser.

- A bit of a--a loser?

- Exactly.

They mentioned
how sad they were

that the baby of the family

had turned out
to be a real baby.

- Wait a minute.
They called me a real baby?

The nerve of those sisters
of mine!

- So wait, you're the loser
they were talking about?

- I'm no loser!

But, yes, I am
the prettiest and most talented

of all of the Cerulean Gym
trainers.

- [chirps and trills]

- Well, if you ask me,
not that you would,

I'd say Lily was
the most talented and beautiful.

- I am the most talented
and beautiful!

- You sure about that?

- Was I talking to you, Brock?

And another thing:

I'm the one who loves
water Pokémon the most.

- Oh, really?

Well, no one loves
water Pokémon more than I do.

- Yeah?
Then let's battle.

- Fine with me, Misty.

- It'll be my pleasure
to show you

who the top Cerulean trainer
really is.

- Ah, this is the life.

Traveling by submarine
surely gets my vote.

- You helpin' us
pedal gets my vote.

- Now, now, don't say something
that might knock the queen

from her pedestal.

[rumbling]

[all shout]

- Were you talking to me?

- Meowth, you really have
a way with words.

[all yell]

[Pokémon grunting
and squeaking]

- Do you think
that maybe those Pokémon

want to play with us?

- Even though we're not
a real Magikarp,

we are
an incredible simulation.

- And a sturdy one at that,

so there's no need
for us to worry.

[together] Land O'Lakes,
we've sprung a leak!

Team Rocket's
sinking again!

- And this is
my underwater b*ttlefield.

- Excellent!
- Pika!

- After all, water Pokémon

can only show their
true abilities underwater.

- You know,
you're right.

I can't tell you
how long I've been dreaming

of having a real underwater
Pokémon battle, Dorian.

- [chirps]
all: Huh?

- Look at that Magikarp.

- That's not
a real Magikarp.

That's Team Rocket's submarine.

- Ah, we made it.
Huh?

- I'd like to show
those water Pokémon

a thing or three.

- Give me some air!

[together] Team Rocket.
all: Huh?

- You're not gonna steal

all of these water Pokémon,
you know.

- What's that?
- Wait.

Don't tell us
what we can and cannot do.

- 'Cause we could've,
but right now,

we got other problems.

- Yes, our submarine
seems to have sprung

a bit of a leak.

- Totodile, I choose you!

- [hissing]

- Now, Totodile, Water g*n!

- Toto!

[all yelling]

- Mantine, use BubbleBeam!

- [grunting]

[together] Water g*n now!

[all yelling]

- I'm sick
of being waterlogged!

- I can't even face
the thought of a shower!

- Then you blast off
alone next time!

- Team Rocket's
washed up again!

ting!

- You'd think
all that blasting off

would teach those three
a lesson, huh?

- [chirps]

- Now that that's over,

shall we get to the battle,
little sister?

- But of course.

- Hey, how about you
battle with me first?

- Ash!

- Please let me
battle first.

I really want to give Totodile
a good workout.

- [sighs]
Do I really have a choice?

- The underwater battle
between Ash from Pallet Town

and Dorian
from the Coastline Gym

will now begin.

- All right, Lanturn,
I choose you!

- [squeaks]

- Begin the match!

- Totodile, Water g*n!

- [growls]

- Dodge it, Lanturn!

- [squeaks]

- Water g*n!

- [squeaking]

- [growling]

- Amazing.

Totodile
is so quick underwater.

- Totodile, Scratch attack!

- Totodile!

- Lanturn, Supersonic!

- [squeaking]

- [growling]

- What's wrong, Totodile?

- That Supersonic
confused it.

- Lanturn, Take Down!

- [squeaking]

- [growling]

- Take Down from below!

Now Take Down from above!

- Totodile!

- Ash, underwater,
you can attack

from above and below
just like in midair.

So the way you're used
to battling on ground

won't help you here.

- Got it.
Totodile, use Slash attack!

- Totodile!
- [squeaks]

- Don't give in, Lanturn!

Spark now!

- [squeaking]

[electricity buzzing
and crackling]

- Totodile, no!

- Lanturn,
finish it with Take Down!

- [squeaking]

- [growling]

Toto,
Toto, Toto, Toto.

- Totodile
is unable to battle.

Lanturn wins.

The victory goes to Dorian
of the Coastline Gym.

- All right!
- [squeaks]

- That was great, Totodile.

You deserve a good rest.

- Hey, remember Ash,

Dorian is used to battling
underwater.

- I know.

It was still
a good experience,

but the next time I do it,
I'm not gonna lose.

- Pikachu.

- Who's that Pokémon?

It's Rhydon!

- Okay, Dorian, ready to do
some battling with me?

- Of course.
Name your battle plan.

- Think you can handle
a three-on-three battle?

- Misty, you read my mind.

- The match between Misty
from the Cerulean Gym

and Dorian
from the Coastline Gym

will now begin!

- Goldeen, I choose you!

Huh?

- Psy.

Psy-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-duck!

Duck, Duck, Duck, Duck.

- Guess your Psyduck's got
some issues with water.

- Yeah, big-time issues.

- Psy.

- It's okay.

So you just wanted to be
in the water too?

- Psy-ai.

- All right,
let's start over.

- Ready.

- Qwilfish, go!

- Qwilfish.

- Go, Goldeen!

- Goldeen.

- Horn Attack now!

- Goldeen.

- Dodge it, Qwilfish!

- Qwilfish!

- Tackle attack!

- Qwilfish!
- Goldeen.

- Qwilfish, keep up
those Tackle attacks.

- Goldeen, Agility!

[both grunting]

- Qwil!

- Goldeen and Qwilfish
are both pretty good.

- I never knew
underwater battling

could be so exciting!

- Pika!

- Goldeen, use Supersonic!

- Goldeen, Goldeen,
Goldeen.

- Qwilfish.

- Qwilfish,
Pin m*ssile now!

- Qwilfish!

- Goldeen,
knock it right back!

- Goldeen.

- Nice.
- Horn Drill!

- Goldeen.

- Dodge it,
and use Pin m*ssile!

- Qwilfish.
- Goldeen.

Goldeen.

- [gasps]
Goldeen!

- Finish it
with Take Down!

- Qwilfish!

- Goldeen, Goldeen.

- Goldeen
is unable to battle.

Qwilfish wins.

- That's one win for me,
Misty.

Qwilfish, return.

- Qwilfish.

- Okay, Mantine,
you're up.

- [grunts]

- That was great, Goldeen.

Take a long rest.

Now for something
completely different,

check this out.

Corsola, I choose you!

- Corsola!

- Whoa, Corsola's up
against Mantine.

- Pika!

- I can't lose.

I just can't lose this.

- Those twerps have made
sorry, soggy fools out of us

for the last time.

- But once they
see our new toy...

- They'll be the ones
who are all wet.

- Mantine, Supersonic!

- [grunting]

- Corsola!

- Corsola,
Tackle as hard as you can!

- Corsola!

Corsola!

- Mantine,
use Wing Attack!

- [grunting]

- Corsola!
Corsola!

- Be strong, Corsola!

Spike Cannon now!

- Mantine, move from Agility
into Tackle!

- Corsola!
Corsola!

- Oh, no, Corsola!

- Pika, Pika!

- Corsola, Recover!

- Corsola, Corsola,
Corsola!

- What?
Recover?

- Ah!

- All right, Corsola,
Spike Cannon!

- Corsola!

- Mantine!
- Now, Corsola, Tackle attack!

- Corsola!

- [grunting]

- Mantine
is unable to battle.

Corsola wins.

- All right!

- Mantine,
come back and rest.

Wow, Misty's not too bad.

- Next, our third
and last battle.

- Okay, Lanturn,
you're up!

- [squeaks]

- Well, in that case,
feast your eyes

on my choice of Pokémon.

[whirring]

all: Huh?

[all yelling]

[all groaning]

- What was that?

[maniacal laughter]

- Prepare for trouble.
You're about to get poked.

- And make it double
after the way we got soaked!

- To protect the world
from devastation.

- To unite all peoples
within our nation.

- V is for victory,
so don't you forget.

- We'll be victorious
and won't break a sweat.

- Jessie.
- James.

- Team Rocket blasts off
like a torpedo in flight.

- Surrender now,
or prepare for a watery fight.

- Chop-chop,
that's right.

[together] Team Rocket!
- Pikachu!

- Ha, it slices.
It dices.

And it steals Pokémon.

- Absolutely amazing!

- At last, a machine
that really works.

- Totodile, Water g*n!

- [growling]

- Qwilfish, Pin m*ssile!

- Qwilfish!

- I don't think so.

- Full suction power.

- Qwil, Qwilfish!

- Qwilfish!
- Totodile!

- [grunting]
- [squeaking]

- I have to try
and stop that machine.

Corsola, I choose you!

- Corsola!

- Tackle that machine!

- Corsola!

all: Uh-oh!

- Psy-ai-ai.

Psyduck, Psyduck.

Psy-ai-ai-ai-ai!

- Psyduck!
- Psy-ai-ai-ai!

- Got you!
- Psy?

- [yelling]

[all gasp]
- Misty!

- Corsola!

- Ah!

- Misty!
- Dorian!

- Pikachu!
- Pokémon in!

Now time for a spin!

[all yelling]

- It's been sublime.
See you next time.

- Where's Team Rocket?

- They got away.

- Pika!

- Don't worry you, guys.

We're gonna come
and save you.

- [trilling]

- Hey, Noctowl,
do you see anything?

- [trilling]

- Looks like it
might have spotted something.

- Great!
Then let's go!

- Pika!
- Psy?

Psy.

[both grunting]
[laughter]

- We may have gotten more
then we bargained for,

but I think we did just fine.

- This Krabby contraption
was a good one.

- I just knew
it would be a good idea

to model our weaponry
after my moods.

- Wobbuffet!

- Team Rocket!
both: Huh?

- Untie them this instant!

- Pika, Pika!
- Ash!

- They're messin' it all up.

- That's right,
by messing with us.

- Victreebel,
I choose you!

- [screams]

- Could you just once
do an attack?

- Go, Arbok!

- [hisses]

- Now, Phanpy, I choose--

- Psyduck!

Psy-ai-ai!
Psyduck!

- What?
- Uh, it seems different!

- That's not a usual
Psyduckian attitude.

- What's going on, Psyduck?

- You think Psyduck
wants to battle?

- Pika?

- Duck.

Duck?

[all gasp]
- Pika!

- That does it!
This game's over!

Now, Arbok, use Bite attack!

- [roars]

- Psyduck!

Psy-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai!

- Victreebel, Razor Leaf!

- [screeching]

- Psy-ai-ai!

- Hey, I've got an idea.

You're not biting
hard enough, Arbok!

- Huh?
- Psy?

- Great, now Psyduck's
startin' to get a headache.

- Confusion, Psyduck!

- Psy!

[both grunting]

- Arbok, no!
- Victreebel!

- Whoa!
Now what?

- I'll show you.

Send them all flying,
Psyduck!

- Psy.

[both grunting]

[all yelling]

- Are you ready, Psyduck?

Use Psychic!

- Psyduck!

[expl*si*n booms]

- Not again!
- Why us?

[together]
We're blasting off again!

ting!

- Wobbu!

- What power!

I never realized Psyduck
had that much strength.

- Psy?

[singing]
- I'm on a Master Quest

- Pokémon

- I'm on a Master Quest

- Pokémon

- [squeaking]
- Qwilfish.

- [grunting]

- Oh, I'm so glad
you're all safe.

- [squeaking]
- Qwilfish.

- Hey, Corsola,
are you okay too?

- Corsola!

- Totodile's
doin' just fine.

- Well, I still
can't get over

that Psyduck of yours, Misty.

Really, Psyduck, thanks.

- Psy?
- Corsola.

- Hey, Dorian.

It's too bad
we couldn't have finished

our battle before.

- I know, but what if we had
been able to finish it,

and you might've brought out
your Psyduck,

then you'd have won.

- Well, I guess
we could call it a draw

since we each
had one win and one loss?

- That sounds fine by me.

- All right, that's that.

- I got to tell you something,

Battling with you
has been just great.

And, Misty, you're every bit
as strong a trainer

as your three sisters are.

- Oh, that's so nice of you.

I've sure learned a lot
about battling underwater

here at your awesome gym.

- Yeah, me too.
- Pikachu.

- It's a shame
that such a fantastic gym

is only known
by a handful of people.

- I know.

When we get
to the Silver Conference,

we'll tell everybody
about the Coastline Gym.

- Yeah?
- Good idea.

We'll say that when it comes
to underwater battling,

it's the best.

- I'm sure
once the word gets out,

you'll have people coming
from all over the place.

- And then I'll bet
before you know,

you'll have an official gym.

- That'd be great!
Thank you.

Say, Misty,
I have to take a quick trip

over to the Cerulean Gym.

When I see your sisters,

I'll be sure to tell them
you say hello

and also how great
you're doing, okay?

- Yeah,
that would be really great.

Thanks.

- Good luck!
- Bye-bye.

- Take care, you guys!

Thanks for everything!

narrator: Saying good-bye
is never easy,

but good memories never leave,

and for Misty, the detour
on the road to New Bark Town

is a time
she'll never forget.

[singing]
- There's 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
