MEOWTH: Oy. I haven't eaten in so long my mouth is thinking of

- going on strike! - JAMES: That works for me.

MIME JR: [STARVING]

WOBBUFFET: [ASKING QUESTION]

JESSIE: Fighting won't feed us...and we'll never find the

horn of plenty foolishly flat on our backs

JAMES: I'm upright, more or lessso where's my reward?

- JESSIE: DEAD AHEAD! - MEOWTH: Munchie mountain!

JAMES: Wow, an orchard of goodies without the trees!

JESSIE: And picked at the peak of freshness with gobs of

gratefulness as a reward for being us!

MEOWTH: Okay feets don't fail me NOW!

MEOWTH: It's feeding time!

- JESSIE: Hey, zip that lip! - MEOWTH: Now I got bite marks!

- JESSIE: And we've got company! - MEOWTH: Yeah?

JESSIE: Think of it! Those footprints came from the Pokémon

who harvested this heapand who'll be beside themselves

with anger if we steal it!

JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH: Ah, let 'em be ANGRY!!

WOOPER, QUAGSIRE, POLIWAG: [HAPPY]

GOLDUCK: [SEARCHING]

QUAGSIRE, POLIWAG, WOOPER: [SOBBING]

GOLDUCK: [FURIOUS]

JAMES: Oopsy daisy.

MEOWTH: That's all there is and there ain't no MORE!

JAMES: With these berry baskets we'll never

have to worry about gift-giving again!

MEOWTH: Don't worry I got it!

WOBBUFFET: [PANIC] MIME JR: [SHOCKED]

JAMES: Berry BLAST OFF!

JESSIE: Déjàvu except we're looking for what

might have been!

JESSIE: Someone's singing!

LUDICOLO [3]: [RHYTHMIC SINGING]

JAMES: I'll give you 10 to 1

odds those are our berry-bequeathers!

MEOWTH: 'Those pointy footprints we saw don't square up

- with those big feet! - JESSIE: I'll say one thing -

they sure know how to have a good time!

MEOWTH: And that would make giving those three party animals

to the Boss for a present the perfect political ploy!

LUDICOLO [3]: [SINGING TOGETHER]

MEOWTH: Just imagine getting your wake-up call

sung to you in three-part harmony!

LUDICOLO [3]: [SERENADING]

MEOWTH: Or throwing back your favorite sandwich

while grooving to your favorite tunes!

LUDICOLO [3]: [FASTER SINGING]

MEOWTH: And sweating to the oldies takes on a whole new

meaning when he shakes his boss bootie to those three,

so you can guess what he's gonna say can't you?

MEOWTH: "Meowth and friends have not only

given me a great present,

they're also helping me to stay in tip-top physical shape!"

JESSIE: We'll be in great shape, too!

JAMES: Sporting our fat wallets.

JAMES, JESSIE, MEOWTH: Rotund and RICH!

GOLDUCK: [ANGRY]

WOBBUFFET, JESSIE, JAMES, MEOWTH, MIME JR.: [CURIOUS]

GOLDUCK: [ACCUSING]

LUDICOLO [3]: [CONFUSED]

GOLDUCK: [ANGRY]

WOOPER, POLIWAG, QUAGSIRE: [SAD]

MEOWTH: Those sad sacks are saying that that big bunch of

berries that just blasted off was theirs in the first place!

JAMES: Well now we know who not to be afraid of.

JESSIE: I'll do you one better than that!

JESSIE: First, we'll convince those singing saps that we've

got their best interests at heart

and that their trust in us is well-deserved!

JAMES: And then, we grab the grateful gabby gullibles!

MEOWTH: Yeah, that's right, we BAD.

GOLDUCK: [ACCUSING]

WOOPER, POLIWAG: [UPSET]

LUDICOLO [3]: [CONFUSED]

GOLDUCK: [DEMANDING]

LUDICOLO [3]: [DISAGREEING]

LUDICOLO [3], GOLDUCK: [LOOKING]

JESSIE: Come, I'm sure we can settle this in a court of law!

JAMES: We're here from the Pokémon International Court to

mitigate this food-fight, so from now on you will refer to us

three as Your Pokémon Judgeships!

GOLDUCK, LUDICOLO [3]: [SURPRISED]

MEOWTH: After listening to all you loud mouths we are convinced

you've got no legal grounds for nothing!

GOLDUCK: [EXPLAINING THE LOST FOOD]

MEOWTH: We fully realize that

your bunch of yummy berries went bye bye.

JESSIE: But there's not one shred of hard evidence that

those lively Ludicolo lifted them Sorry!

GOLDUCK: [EXPLAINING]

MEOWTH: Golduck's saying that since these berries can't walk,

here's your proof!

JESSIE: Oh! So you call this PROOF? Excuse me buster,

but I don't seem to find your NAME written anywhere!

Do you see the name Golduck inscribed on any surface?

Huh? I don't. Nowhere. Nope no way. Not today.

You lose.

GOLDUCK: [CONFUSED]

JESSIE: All righty since justice has been unjustly served,

court is adjourned! GOLDUCK: [SHOCKED]

GOLDUCK: [FURIOUS]

MEOWTH: All right, what did you say?

JESSIE: Fighting words demand fighting TIMES!

JESSIE: Seviper, let's GO!!

SEVIPER: [EMERGING]

JAMES: You too Carnivine!

CARNIVINE: [GNAWING]

JAMES: Carnivine I am not a piece of fruit!

- No matter what anybody says! - JESSIE: Poison Tail!

GOLDUCK: [HURT]

POLIWAG, QUAGSIRE, WOOPER: [WORRIED]

GOLDUCK: [COLLAPSING]

JESSIE: Use Haze!

GOLDUCK, WOOPER, POLIWAG, QUAGSIRE: [DAZED] [ALARMED]

JESSIE: The system works! All is well!

JAMES, MEOWTH: Swell!

JESSIE: Now isn't it fun to have friends?

One thing's for sure you can trust us

as far as you can throw us!

JAMES: But, please, don't try and think that one through.

LUDICOLO [3]: [RHYTHMIC SINGING]

LUDICOLO [3]: [RHYTHMIC SINGING]

MIME JR, WOBBUFFET, MEOWTH: [HELPLESS]

JESSIE: Your family must've had their hands full!

DAWN: I'm afraid to ask,

but what's Piplup doing with those Pokémon?

ASH: Goin' on a march?

ASH'S POKEDEX: Golduck. The Duck Pokémon. It makes its home

in lakes, and is able to swim faster than a gold-medalist.

DAWN: Looks like Piplup is leading them all somewhere...

BROCK: Let's follow them and see where!

DAWN, ASH: Right!

JAMES: Wouldn't you know we finally have a great plan

then we're faced with hyperactive Pokémon

JESSIE: We've got the berries!

Mark my words, that Golduck will be back

MEOWTH: It'll be a whole lot easier to give that Pokémon to

the Boss than a bunch of kooks who act like

they ate way too much candy!

DAWN: Who're those Pokémon?

- BROCK: They're Ludicolo. - DAWN: Let me see...

DAWN'S POKEDEX: Ludicolo. The Carefree Pokémon.

When Ludicolo listens to happy music, its power grows stronger

and it just has to dance.

DAWN: So what is Piplup doing anyway?

ASH: Looks like Piplup's not very happy about something the

three of 'em did... PIPLUP: [ACCUSING]

acting as their leader! PIPLUP: [ARGUING]

JAMES: Piplup? Then the Twerps must be hovering close by!

JESSIE: Come on, details!

JAMES: It appears Piplup's befriended Golduck and its crew!

JESSIE: It's perfect! They'll tangle with the loony Ludicolo

and wear themselves out. Then, we'll grab Golduck!

PIPLUP: [ATTACKING] / [FALLING]

PIPLUP: [HURT]

JAMES: What? It's a plastered Piplup!

JESSIE: It's the Twerps and Pikachu too right on cue!

JESSIE: With Pikachu electricity and Ludicolo

lunacy how can we lose? Let's bag the whole BUNCH!

DAWN: What's going on out there?

PIPLUP: [CURIOUS] / [STARTLED]

PIPLUP: [HANGING ON]

PIPLUP: [FALLING]

JESSIE: Listen closely, is that a voice I hear?

JAMES: Well it's speaking to me loud and clear!

- JESSIE: On the wind. - JAMES: Past the stars.

MEOWTH: And right in your EAR!

JESSIE: Bringing total chaos at a neck-breaking pace!

JAMES: Dashing hope and putting fear in its place!

JESSIE: A rose by any other name's just as sweet

JAMES: When everything's worse our work is complete!

- JESSIE: Jessie! - JAMES: AND JAMES!

MEOWTH: Meowth now that's a name!

JESSIE: Putting all those do-gooders in their place.

- JAMES: Team Rocket! - JESSIE: We're in your FACE!

WOBBUFFET: [GREETING]

MIME JR: [GREETING]

ASH: Whatever you guys are doing here, it can't be good!

will be good for US!

JAMES: Think of someone else for a change!

PIPLUP: [EXHAUSTED]

PIPLUP: [ANGRY]

MEOWTH: It looks like Golduck's got that

pipsqueak on the Pokey payroll heh?

Sadly this is not the time to be cracking up.

JESSIE: Oh YEAH? If I want to crack up, I'll do it when

I feel like it without you keeping me on a schedule!!

MEOWTH: And you wonder why we're a team.

And, armed with that knowledge and some impressive moves,

our heroes' journey continues!
