02x03 - Creature Power Challenge

Post by bunniefuu »

♪ Wild Kratts ♪

MARTIN:
We're here in Africa,

on the Eastern
Savannah grasslands.

Hey, it's us,
the Kratt Brothers!

I'm Martin.

And I'm Chris,

and we're here
on the African Savannah

in the habitat
of the wild elephant.

With some elephants
who know next to nothing

about being
wild elephants.

They're all orphans.

They never learned how
to survive in the wild

because their moms
were k*lled by poachers.

This is Naipoki.

(Laughing)
Hey!

What are you,
about ten months old?

This is Sities.

She's about a year old,

but already she's bigger
and stronger than I am.

Baby elephants are taught
survival skills

from their mother
and other herd members.

But these orphan elephants,

they don't have
any family to teach them,

so they're taught
what they need to know

here at the Sheldrick
Elephant Orphanage.

And it's people who are teaching
them survival skills.

And to unleash
their elephant powers,

so some day they can return
to the African savannah.

Living free
and in the wild.

MARTIN:
Hey, where's everybody going?

Whoa, they move fast!

CHRIS:
It's a stampede!

Off to a mud bath!

Wow, they just love this!

They kick it up,

they make it nice
and frothy,

and they love
to roll in it!

Whoa!

They are in play mode.

We don't want to get
in the middle of that.

We'll take our mud bath
when they're done.

(Both laughing)

After the mud bath
comes the dust bath.

It gets rid of bugs,
it protects from the sun,

it's a natural sunscreen,

and you can tell
these little elephants

are feeling great right now.

Even at this young age,
elephants are so powerful.

The trunk, the size,
the strength...

Imagine if we could
compare the creature powers

of different animals
in head-to-head contests.

BOTH:
What if?

Ha!

Yee-ha!

Woo! Woo-hoo!

Whoa!

(Both panting)

We should really remember to
finish cross-country in-lining

before the sun rises.

Yeah, look.

All the smart creatures
are heading to the shade.

AVIVA:
Just consider it another thing

you learned from the animals.

Yeah, and there is
one good thing

about getting overheated
in Africa!

It gives you a good reason
to cool off in...

(Feet screeching)

...a mud wallow!

What are we waiting for?

Last one in
is a wattled bellbird!

(Stomping, Chris gasping)

Huh?



Uh, I guess we'll have to find
another mud wallow.

Are you kidding?

This wallow's where it's at!

Look.

(Elephant trumpeting)

A rarely seen
wildlife moment!

(Bucking sound)

Oh yeah, yeah,
we're not going anywhere.

They both want to go
into the mud to cool off.

But there's only room
enough for one.

Whoever's
the most powerful wins!

Who do you think
is more powerful,

a rhino or an elephant?

That's like asking me
who has a fuzzier cottontail,

a bunny or a rattlesnake.

Of course the elephant's
more powerful!

No way!

The rhino wins this face-off,
horns down.

An elephant weighs more!

Two tons more!

(Bucking)

A rhino can run with a charge
of miles per hour.

An elephant can't even run,
only walk fast.

Whoa!

Ahhh! Oof!

Yeah, but he's got a fast walk
with a lot of weight behind it!

Plus an elephant is so strong,

he even has , muscles
in his trunk!

Whoa!

Ugh!

(Groaning)

(Whirring)

(Zach laughing)

I got rid of all their mud!

That'll really "mess" them up.

Ha, ha, ha!

The big grey things
will get all dried up,

and Chris and Martin
will have no fun.

I bet I sure ruined their day.

(Gasping)

Zach-bots, stop!

No, not you.

The plane!

Stop the plane!

I've got to see this.

Spy cloud!

Whoa!

What was that?

A dust devil, or...?

The mud's gone!

Doesn't matter.

They each found
their own mud wallow!

And you know,
whatever it was,

it really cooled me off.

Yeah, me too!

(Both laughing)

Oh!

They make me so mad,

I want to flip!

(Beeping)

Ahhh!

I'm the world's greatest
inventor!

Not a pancake!

Stop it!

Ugh!

Zach-bots!

Find out what they're up to.

It's good to see
our pachyderm pals so happy.

But I still want
the elephant to show you

who's the most powerful.

You mean the rhino
to show you.

Hey, why don't we show
each other ourselves!

Huh?

A big Creature Power Suit
Challenge

of all sorts
of animal abilities.

To find out what the most
powerful animals in Africa are!

The strongest pushers,
the highest jumpers,

the fastest runners,
the most skilful swimmers!

Oh, yeah!

Caracal-jumping
hang time, baby!

Yes!

Remember when we got
aardvark?

But cheetah powers rip!

Oh, yeah,
hyper-speed!

Uh, Aviva, this could get
interesting.

Yeah, it really makes me
appreciate

how many amazing animals
we've encountered.

And how many awesome Creature
Power discs you've made!

Hmm...

Ugh!

It makes me tired
just thinking about it.

I'm taking the day off.

No inventing today,
I'm spectating.

The bros are on their own.

JIMMY Z:
Uh, don't get too comfy, Aviva.

I'm not a professional
scientist,

but I think I observed
when it comes to high-tech,

the bros usually end up
needing your help.

Mm-hmm.

Let's start with
a strength contest

between the elephant
and the rhino!

You're on!

Rhino Power!

Squirrel Power!

Huh?

Oh, wrong one.

Elephant Power!

CHRIS, MARTIN:
Activate Creature Power Suits!



Oh yeah, rhino powers!

MARTIN:
Elephant powers
are so awesome!

I can do push-ups with my nose!

One, two, three, four...

CHRIS:
Save it, brother.

It's a sumo-style showdown
of strength.

Whoever pushes the other guy
into the mud wallow wins!

You're on!

Oh, I am so sick and tired
about hearing

how awesome those
Creature Power Suits are.

Oh, I know!
(Snapping fingers)

Last time I got my hands
on the hippo-dile disc,

I found a flaw
in Aviva's programming.

And now I've invented something
that will prove once and for all

that I am a better inventor
than Aviva!

Zach's disrupt-o-bots!

Get in there
and make me some mayhem!

All right, bro,
the moment of truth!

Let's find out
who's the strongest.

Rhino power!

Elephant power!

(Martin and Chris grunting)

ZACH:
Excellent.

My disrupt-o-bots will make

their Creature Power Suits
go haywire!

Won't Chris and Martin
be surprised!

(Martin and Chris groaning)

An elephant is so strong

he can push a -foot tall
acacia tree over with his head!

(Grunting)

CHRIS: Ahh!

Rhinos have charge strength
powerful enough

to push over
a four-ton truck!

Ugh, uh-oh!

Hey Chris, you look thirsty!

Oh, yeah.

How about a drink?

Aghh!

And elephant powers win!

Ha, ha, ha!

Whoo!

Not so fast, bro.

Argh!

You forgot about
the rhino horn!

Huh?

Whoa!

Ow!

Ow, ow, ow.

Owl.

Ow, ow!

Huh?

Whoa! Gah!

Huh?

Oh yeah, the tip of my nose

is more powerful
than the tip of your nose!

A slam dunk into the mud puddle

will prove that Elephant
Powers rule over Rhino Powers!

(Zach laughing)

Disrupt now!

(Beeping)



Leaping lizards!

I'm an acorn?

Aviva, the Creature Power Suits
are going crazy!

Oh no!

(Rumbling)

Ahhh!

Whoa!

(Stomping)

Ah!

The basilisk
water-running feet

don't work too well
in a dry grassland!

Whoa!

(Chris shouting)

Ugh!

I can't grow here!

If I even wanted to.

Whoa!

Martin, quick,
deactivate me!

Elephants are omnivores!

They'll eat nuts!

Good thing basilisks
are climbers!

Hoo-ah! Ugh!

On any kind of trunk.

Whoa!

Ah! No!

Well, that was kind of nuts.

Whoa!

(Zach laughing)

Loving it!

(Chris and Martin shouting)

Ugh!

(Gasping)

(Groaning)

Just for one day, wouldn't you
like to be that strong?

Aviva,
what in the world is going on

with these
Creature Power Suits?

Uh, I don't know,
a glitch or something?

I'll be right there.

Oh, no, you're not!

My disrupt-o-bots not only work
on Creature Power Suits,

but on turtle ships too!

Ha!

Hey, Chris, you feel a need
for speed?

Always.

So then, how about a race

between the world's
fastest runner...

And the world's fastest flier.

You're on!

A quarter-mile sprint.

And to make it fair,

we both have to start
from a dead stop.

Okay, so even though
a peregrine falcon's top speed

is miles per hour--

--and that's faster than
the cheetah's top speed

of miles
per hour.

The falcon has to fly up
and gain height

before she can tuck into
her high-speed dive.

We'll be the first ones
to find out

who's the fastest animal
in a quarter-mile race.

A cheetah--

--or a peregrine falcon!

On your marks...

CHRIS:
Get set...

BOTH: Go!

Huh?

Wait a second.

They're not the ones
who feel like racing...

BOTH: We are!

AVIVA: Wait a second, guys,
slow down!

I want to monitor
what's going on with the CPS.

Don't do anything
until I get there!

Okay, Aviva, but hurry.

The animals we need
to activate our suits

won't stick around for long.

Race time in seconds!



(Drilling)



(Beeping)

Ugh, ow!

Hey, what's wrong
with the Tortuga doors?

ZACH:
Get used to it!

I've taken over your turtle
ship and all your technology.

Who's the best inventor now?

Chris, Martin, it's Zach!

He's somehow been messing
with the Creature Power Suits.

I--

Blizzards!

Coms are down.

ZACH:
Of course coms are down.

I don't want you warning them.

Jimmy, try flying us to the bros
with Tortuga's hover mode!

(Grunting)

The controls won't work!

ZACH:
That's right.

All you can do is
watch the show

as I make the
Creature Power Suits go crazy!

Ha, ha, ha!

You can't control
my Creature Power Suits.

Oh, yes, I can!

There's a flaw in your design.

Usually, varmint programming,
plus Kratt brothers,

equals animal costumes.

But now, ghost programs
of past activations

are being re-activated
at random.

Just enough to cause
a whole lot of problems for

the Kratt bros, and to prove to
the world, once and for all,

that I am better than you!

(Watch beeping)

Sorry, Aviva,
can't wait any longer.

Activate creature powers!

Activate creature powers!

Okay, and there,
a quarter-mile away,

the Tortuga
is the finish line.

On your marks...

Get set...

BOTH: Go!

Cheetah's running powers only
last around a quarter of a mile.

It's an all-out sprint.

And I've got to run my fastest
from start to finish,

miles per hour all the way!

A falcon can't fly faster than a
cheetah runs in a straight line,

but if I can gain my dive height

and tuck into
a peregrine dive,

I can go faster than a cheetah,

and even though Martin
has a head start,

I think I can catch him
at the finish line!

Oh!

Now it's time for my genius
to be revealed!

(Drilling)



What? Bass Power?

Here?

I heard about flying fish,
but on the African savannah?

This is ridiculo-o-o-ous!

Ahhh!

I'm a walrus out of water.

CHRIS:
I'm a fish out of water!

Oof!

And that's worse.

Bass powers are great
for a lake habitat...

Yeah, and walrus blubber
is great

for keeping warm in icy oceans,

but here on the hot
African savannah?

(Groaning)

You don't want walrus
powers.

We don't belong here
in these powers.

(Gasping)
And they know it too!

Huh?

I can't deactivate!

(Vultures pecking)

Ugh! I can't either.

Ugh!

Oh, these are the times
I really appreciate hands.

Hmm?

Ahh!

(Whimpering)

Ow!

I wouldn't do that.

Ow!

I'm telling you,

you don't want to mess
with walrus powers.

See these tusks?

Ugh! Ahh!

(Panting)

I've really got
the wrong powers here.

(Sighing)

CHRIS:
Help!

This vulture thinks
I'm a fishy snack!

Hold on, bro!

I'm coming... to
the creature... rescue!

Oh, but not with two tons
of walrus blubber.

(Chris screaming)

Oof!

Hey, Chris,
did I hit the button?

Chris?

(Chris shouting, muffled)

Speak up, bro.

I'm not getting any of that.

Yeah!

Nailed it!

Huh?

Ow!

Walrus powers are no good
on the African savannah.

I'm powerless.

Uh, Chris, a little help?

(Chris shouting, muffled)

I still can't hear you.

Get off me!

Oh!

Why didn't you say so?

Aviva, where are you?

These Creature Power Suits
are really acting goofy.

They're giving us
the wrong powers

at the wrong times
in the wrong habitats.

(Static crackling)

What?

Oh no, the creature pods
are malfunctioning too.

Hey look,
they're cheering us on.

Hey, because I have

international lip-reading
experience,

I can tell you
Aviva is saying...

Don't use
the Creature Power Suits!

"Go use the
Creature Power Suits."

Let me try.

Jimmy is saying...

Zach's disrupting our gadgets!

Aviva fixed them remotely!

And Koki's saying...

All Wild Kratts inventions
are under Zach's control!

Oh, of course.

That's the signal for,

"Everything is A-OK,
no problems here."

(Groaning)

And now they want
to keep watching

our Creature Power Challenge

from their cushy seats
in the Tortuga!

Yeah!

Okay!

Great!

All right!

Okay, so which powers
do we go with now?

Do you think they understood us?

Nope.

(Zach laughing maniacally)

Now, let's get back
to the bothersome brothers

and tinkering with
those Creature Power Suits.

Hmm.

Koki, Jimmy, keep him talking.

Uh, hey, Zach?

Did you ever think of putting
less gel in your hair?

What?

There's no way you can overpower
our technology for long, Zach.

Oh, yes way, I can,
because I already have!

And because my inventions have
always been superior to yours,

you've just gotten
lucky in the past.



New command:
Remove Zach's disrupt-o-bots!

You're miniaturized.

Hey, what's going on?

My disrupt-o-bots
stopped working!

You mean this disrupt-o-bot?

(Screaming)

Well, I still have
disrupt-o-bots

in the Creature Power Suits.

Come on,
jump on the Buzz bikes.

We've got to warn the bros.

Too late.

You'll never make it in time!

How about a river race?

Swimming!

Hippo versus croc.

BOTH:
Activate Creature Powers!

Disrupt creature powers!

Oh, no!

Tree-dwelling tarsiers
don't swim.

Too skinny,
no flotation.

These wings don't flap
under water.

Too delicate,
designed for air.

Let's just deactivate.

Disrupt deactivation!

(Beeping)

Oh, I can't deactivate!

Uh-oh! Incoming!

Baby crocodiles!

Hey, it's Frederica, Crunchella,
and Snappifer.

I can't believe it.

We're going to be devoured
by animals that you named.

AVIVA:
Not today, you're not!

(Snapping)

Way to go!

Yeah!

Just one more thing
to take care of.

(Beeping)

But I was so close!

It doesn't matter.

I'm still superior.

You're just Wild Rats!

ALL:
That's Wild Kratts!

But you know, I never realized
what problems could be caused

by having the wrong
creature powers

and features
in the wrong habitat.

You said it.

All these creature powers
are really only powers

if you use them at the right
time and in the right place.

Nature has given animals the
powers and abilities they need

to survive in the environments
and habitats where they live.

And hey, speaking
of creature powers,

we've got a Creature Power Suit
challenge to finish!

(Water bubbling)

Crocodile wins
the swimming race!

The fastest in
a quarter-mile sprint is...

Hey!

Too close to call!

(Martin and Chris grunting)

Ugh!

Elephant powers
are the strongest!

ALL:
Creature Mission accomplished!

There are so many incredible
creature powers in Africa

and all over the world.

This elephant's knocking
down a tree!

Check it out,
look at him pushing that.

That is some elephant strength.

Elephants can use
their massive size

to push down huge trees.

CHRIS:
Or pick up tiny little things
with their trunks.

Did you see that?

They use their tips
of their trunk, like fingers.

Now that's a creature power
that turns a nose into a hand.

Hey, Chris, check this out.

Over there.

That's not an elephant.

A rhino!

Another orphan here at the
Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage.

MARTIN:
Now, with rhinos, you've got
to move real slowly

because they react
to sudden movements.

Hi!

Hey...

This is a young rhino
about two years old.

Hi...

Yeah, and a rhino
is only this tame

because it's being taken care
of by people,

just like the elephants are.

Hey, want some leaves?

Is that the kind you like?

Now, her tongue
has a special power.

Amazing.

Look at that thorn!

It's sharp.

That doesn't hurt you?

MARTIN:
Yeah, see, those thorns,

they protect the leaves
from most animals,

but not from the rhino.

That's one tough tongue!

Like most African creatures,
the rhino loves a mud bath.

Ah, this is the life,
isn't it?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, it's perfect rhino size.

Whoa, look she's-- whoa!

(Both laughing)

Chris, he got
totally splashed!

I got splashed in the face!

You've heard to stay out of
the way of a charging rhino,

but you also got to stay
out of the way

of a mud-bathing rhino.

Well, I'm already muddy, so I
might as well get right into it.

She just looks so happy,
look!

Well, I can definitely
tell you

it's a good way to cool off
in the hot African sun.

Nature gives animals
all sorts of amazing abilities,

and powers.

And we're going to keep on
creature adventuring

until we see them all!

See you on
the creature trail!

Keep on creature
adventuring!



BOTH:
We'll see you there!
