20x41 - Mounting an Electrifying Charge!

[bunniefuu]

Let's go!!

In stores now!
The Type Three kit!

This'll put you way
ahead of your rival!

What's that?
They're really cool!

Aren't they?!
They're called Charjabug Racers!

Charjabug Racers?

Never heard of them.

Charjabug Racers
use electricity generated

by Charjabug as their energy source.
Who would have thought

energy from a Charjabug would
allow a racer to go so fast?!

Amazing...

And they put on
a huge race every year!

Sounds like fun!

Sure does.

Really?
Are you interested?

I've wanted to enter a Charjabug
race forever, but you can't

unless you have a team of three!

Please? Will you two
enter the race with me?

I'd love to
join your race team.

All right! You, too?

I'll do it. One thing...

If we're to be
a part of this venture,

there is only one goal:
VICTORY!!

Victory...

Isn't this great,
Charjabug?

We've got ourselves a team!

Victory all the way! Yeah!!

It's so hot...
Don't you think it's hot today?

I don't think
it's the weather.

Yeah!

Oh, them...

Hey, Snowy?

Oh yeah!

Now that Ash and Kiawe
are entering the Charjabug

race with Sophocles, they're
diving headfirst into training!

Look at this! I just
picked up the Type Three kit!

So let's see how
fast that thing goes!

Before that, there's
something we need to decide.

A team has three people,
each with their own job.

The first is the one
giving orders: The director!

The second is the one who
performs maintenance on the

racer and changes the tires:
The mechanic.

And the last one runs with
the Charjabug to help

it deal with obstacles:
The support runner!

All three jobs are
really important!

All right, then, since
you know the most about racing,

you should be director.

Okay. Then
I'd like you to be mechanic.

Really?

You're always doing
odd jobs and fixing all sorts

of things on your
family farm, aren't you?

You're right. I guess...

That makes me support
runner! You can count on us.

We'll be great!

Okay, Charjabug!
Let's give it a sh*t!

Wow! Your Charjabug Racer
looks just like the one

in the commercial!

Start your engine!

Here it comes! Yeah!

Hey, Ash, hold on!

Look! Something's...
not quite right.

Uh... My Charjabug's
a bit, well... unmotivated.

But once it puts its mind to it,
it'll be able to race!

Aw, Charjabug, you know
how difficult it is to

- get this stuff off!
- We need to do some training.

Why don't we
all run together?

Ah! What for?

That way, Charjabug
can get used to the racer,

and it'll be fun for us, too!

Yeah then,
we can all bond as a team!

But running and
I aren't very good friends.

Come on, you'll be great!
Let's go, team!

It's coming along
with us! Looking good!

Ah...
That's youth for you!

Confront the DRAGONITE and
you'll become the MACHAMP!

This will
be perfect for the motor.

The frame has to be light and
durable at the same time.

Want to race fast?
Really fast?

Then let's win this!

That was
your best time yet!

Perfect!

Keep going!

All right! That was
yet another best time!

Here! Fresh Moomoo Milk!

Thank you!

Drink up. Nice and cold.

Thanks a lot, Kiawe!

Wouldn't it be
great if we had some on the day

of the race? Right, Charjabug?

All set! Time to run again!

They're at it again...

Is that about
the Charjabug race?

Yes!! Let's go even faster!

The boys
sure are fired up.

Let's get something
cold to drink.

Great idea!
With some pancakes on the side!

Sounds great!
How about Mallow's restaurant?

Good idea!

Aah! This place is huge.

Wow...
Look at 'em all!

You mean everyone
here is entering?!

Looking
forward to this year.

And we're raring to go!

We do it
all for science!

I'd say most
of them are regulars!

After all the
intense training we did,

there's no doubt we'll win this!

Not a chance.

What's this about?

Everybody who's
anybody knows our Red Comet team

is going to win this
race hands down.

If a run of the
mill Charjabug like yours should

ever win, my jaw would hit the
floor and never come back up!

What did you say?!

Feast your eyes on this!
The boss's... amazing Charjabug!

Wow...
That is pretty cool...

It's
Horacio's red Charjabug.

I guess that means
you think you're gonna win.

You don't know the
great pains my father took

in order to track down this cool
Charjabug! Its color? Unique!

Top speed is as fast as you can get.
Strength second to none!

With a custom-made
racer that can't be b*at!

Nothing can
come close to it!

You squirts could all
g*ng up on me and nothing would

happen. Why not leave before
you embarrass yourselves?

Good idea...

I've got an idea. You
should leave before you lose!

What was that?

I don't care how
special your Charjabug is!

That won't have any effect on
my Charjabug's chances to win!

You know how to talk
like a winner. But you'll see

whose Charjabug is the
fastest during the race!

Unpleasantness Index: %!

Nice comeback, Sophocles!

You really told him...

No one like
that's gonna b*at me!

Fiddlesticks!

It looks like a trio of Twerps
has entered the race, too!

Quite problematic.

What do we care?

Our getups are beyond
perfection, so we can

concentrate on the race.

And the extremely
high-value winner's prize!

Team Rocket doesn't
know failure! Right Charjabug?

Oy...

You're supposed
to say "Charja!"

STOP! I can't!
It's like an oven in here...

So? You'll be fine...

The inside's amazing, too!

Okay, time for
the three of us to split up.

We can keep in
touch using these.

Hi there!

Welcome to the greatest
race for Charjabug fans

all over the region!
Hold on to your seats,

as we present the
twenty-fifth annual Koko Cup!

The rules are the same
every year, and they couldn't be

simpler! Each Charjabug and its
support runner will try to get

to the finish line first. While
out on the course, there are

three obstacles awaiting them!
These are Pokmon trying to keep

the Charjabug from advancing!
How they deal with it decides

who wins or loses!

So let's meet this year's
Pokmon! And here they are!

And now...
Introducing this year's

three amazing Terrains!

That's awesome!

Pretty
much as I predicted.

There is a pit stop area
set up just prior to each

Terrain where mechanics can
change tires and recharge their

Charjabug's electricity.
One more thing. Anyone using

Pokmon moves to impede
others will be disqualified!

Now, contestants,
to your starting positions!

I'll be in the
central command tower.

I'll be at the pit stop!

Okay!

You're gonna do great!

Twenty seconds to go...

Right...

Give it your best,
Charjabug!

Go, Ash!
You can do it!

Thanks!

And there they go!

Move out, Charjabug!

Now put it in high gear!

Charja...

As expected,
it's the Red Comet team

taking the early lead!

But the Bewear Max team has
made an impressive start!

Looks good!
Just keep it up!

You're not
even worth a look.

And now we're
approaching corner number one!

Oh, no! A big pileup! And
so close to the starting line!

No, Charjabug!

"Who's that Pokmon?"

"It's Charjabug!"

Ash, no!

It appears some teams
weren't involved in the crash,

like Red Comet and Bewear Max!

Hey! Ignore
that catastrophe!

Right...

And they're followed by
Electric Princess, Twin Starmie,

and Science Speed!
But that crash took most teams

out of the running!

What a stunning turn of events!

But wait! There's one
more team in the running!

The Sophocles Lab team managed
to avoid the chaos, too!

Go, Charjabug!

You weren't in the
crash because you're so slow!

We're just
getting warmed up!

The leaders
have already entered

the Rock country Terrain!

So this Terrain
obstacle makes an appearance!

Hold on! But how?

Oh, my!

Charjabug!

Oh no!

This is no time to be
standing here gawking! Come on!

Those wheels
are gonna be just fine!

Custom tires are
making sure of that!

And the Red Comet
team is beginning to leave

the others behind!

Not acceptable!

Well,
customize THIS! BAM!

We've assumed the lead!

Hey! Big trouble,
Sophocles!

What did he say?!

Throwing
in the towel already?

You're not even close!

Hey, Ash! Act as a ramp
for Charjabug, quick!

As a ramp?!

Right! Let Charjabug
run up your legs and back.

That'll allow it to
get over the wall!

I can do that!

All set! Climb up!

All right! We did it!

We're
going to do it, too!

We didn't build
the body strong enough...

Nothing but dumb luck.

'Fraid not.
Planned for this stuff!

Hey! Give me an update!

We're already
at the pit stop!

Next up is the
Desert Terrain, right?

With these custom tires,
changing them is as easy as pie!

Hurry it up!!

One button and
the tires are all changed!

Talk about quick...

But that
Red Comet team is a real

pain in the racing neck!

Then make sure
their racing days are over.

Yeah...

All yours, Kiawe!

Right!

You'll never
make it in time.

The tires are exactly
the same size as the caps

on Moomoo Milk bottles!

It's like my hands know
what to do by themselves!

That guy is fast!

Next, the Desert Terrain!

We're on our way!
Here you go, Charjabug!

This, too.

Goggles?

Orders from Sophocles.
Here you go.

See you at
the next pit stop.

Awesome! Let's win this!

Now the back teams
are leaving the pits.

But the teams in the lead are
already in the Desert Terrain!

This is just what we got
those custom sand tires for!

Time to put our plan to
work! This nerve-numbing dart

will drop you down a notch!

Something's not right,
but this is the perfect chance

to get Charjabug to show
off its runaway skills!

That is amazing!
You wouldn't think the red

Charjabug could accelerate
in this Sandstorm!

You caused
it to go faster!

So much for plans!

Eject. Eject. Eject.

Wait! That looks like
Bewear Max! What's this?

A Pokmon emerged
from the Charjabug!

That means one thing:
Disqualified!

That's
not the finish line!!

It's time
for our serious mode!

NO! It's stuck!

If a racer tries to
maintain the same speed,

it can get stuck in the sand!

You use up a lot
of energy in the desert.

Is Charjabug still okay?

The Moomoo Milk it
just had is really working!

And with these goggles,

it doesn't matter if
the wind's in our eyes!

This is when
slow and steady wins the race!

Time to rally!

Have you already gotten
to the last pit stop yet?

Uh... Forgive me, Boss!

Charjabug wore
itself out in the desert!

If we lose,
you know what's coming to you!

Yes, sir!!

It looks like
the winner will be one

of these three teams!

This looks bad.

And we still have the last
Terrain to get through!

Since when do we not get
the chance to take a break?

Forget breaks and
run out that last section

at full speed!

- Yes sir!
- Make it quick!

- Okay!
- This isn't good...

Go...
And you'd better win this thing!

Yes, sir!

You're up, Kiawe!

It's time for the final
leg! Give it all you've got!

Right! Charjabug's doing great,
so if we keep this up, we'll win!

Will you please leave?

Spoilsport!

How can you throw us out over
something silly like cheating?

Talk about a grudge!

Sorry...

We're off with a new blast!

We'll blow this field
away and do it for the boss!

And the Red Comet
team is on top!

Do they have an
insurmountable lead by now?

But look, the Electric Princess
team is coming from behind!

Full throttle, Charjabug,

then we'll take the lead!

We'll pass 'em in one sh*t!

What's this? Castform
has created Hail, and now

the Terrain is turning
into a skating rink!

This is going to be most
challenging for the racers!

And you can't change
tires away from the pit stop!

It's solid ice!

Who cares?!
Just drive as fast as you can!

Look out!

Ash, no!

Can you believe it?
The Electric Princess team

could be out of the race!
And the Sophocles Lab team's

support runner is now
down for the count!

You're kidding!

And that means
our team is the definite winner.

I wouldn't
be too sure of that!

What?

With the finish line
almost in view, the Red Comet

team racer is stuck on the ice
and can't make any headway!

Quick!
Push it from behind now!

But you know we'll
be disqualified... Besides,

Charjabug is exhausted
and almost out of juice!

Unacceptable!
I'll deal with this myself!

Wake up! Are you all
right?! Ash!

We're really sorry!
Is it going to be okay?

He'll be fine.
It's part of racing!

Kiawe!
I'll take it from here!

You should get Ash
some medical help!

But Sophocles,
what can you possibly do

on this sheet of ice?

Of course!

Do you know much
money I spent on this race?!

You just better hope
that you don't lose!

Coming through!

What?!

Hey, that's cheating!

It's against the rules to
change tires out of the pit!

I didn't cheat at all!

Then how are you moving?

This stuff comes
fro'm Charjabugs String sh*t!

I realized I can use it to
get traction on the ice!

Then we have
to do that, too!

Yes, sir!

Charjabug,
you're almost there!

Let's go, Charjabug!

Full speed!

Max power!
Now charge, Charjabug!!

And we have a winner!!

YEAH!!

We won!

Awesome!

After all these years,
I can't recall more turbulence!

Yeah you won it!

The Sophocles Lab team
never gave up, and in the end,

that led to victory!

Why me?
How could I lose?

Boss, I'm sorry...

Now let's
interview the champions!

What's the most important
thing that led to victory?

If I had
to say one thing...

It's Moomoo Milk!

Yup! He's right!

And to the victors?

A complete selection of
Charjabug souvenirs!

Exactly what I wanted!

Isn't it just great?

The will to never
give up has led our heroes

to victory! It's also helped
Sophocles and Charjabug forge

a closer friendship
as the journey continues!
