The Electrike Company!

PIPLUP: [PLAYFUL]

NARRATOR: As their Hearthome City trek continues,

the lakeside has no trouble convincing our heroes

to enjoy some rest and relaxation!

DAWN: Wow, what a scenic spot!

BROCK: Sure is. And just get a whiff of that mountain air!

ASH: And the weather's perfect! Huh?

ASH, BROCK, DAWN, SUDOWOODO, STARAVIA, CROAGUNK: [SHOCKED]

PIKACHU, BUNEARY, HAPPINY, PACHIRISU: [SURPRISED]

- BROCK: Was that lightning? - ASH: Not with this blue sky.

ASH: What's that?

ELECTRIKE: [FOCUSED] BROCK: An Electrike!

DAWN: And it's fast!

POKEDEX: Electrike. The Lightning Pokémon.

Using the electric charge stored in its fur,

it can run faster than the eye can follow.

ELECTRIKE: [ATTACK]

ASH, BROCK, DAWN, STARAVIA, CROAGUNK: [SCARED]

PIKACHU, BROCK, DAWN: [ALARMED]

ELECTRIKE: [CURIOUS]

DAWN: Are you okay?

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED] JACO: Sorry!

JACO: Oh, I knew this was going to happen!

- JACO: Are you okay? - ASH: Okay, I guess

JACO: I can't tell you how bad I feel!

ELECTRIKE: [APOLOGETIC]

JACO: Electrike and I have been out here practicing our

electric moves, and as you can see, we need practice.

ASH: Hey, it's okay! Hi, my name's Ash!

PIKACHU: [GREETING] DAWN: And I'm Dawn!

BROCK: And my name's Brock!

JACO: I'm Jaco. Believe it or not, I'm a Pokémon breeder.

BROCK, DAWN, ASH: Yeah?

ASH: Hey, Brock's a breeder, too!

BROCK: Well, I'm still in training.

JACO: Yeah? Wow, that's neat!

Hmm. This Staravia's great! You've really raised it well.

JACO: I just love Flying-type Pokémon!

Compared to Electric types.

JACO: Let's just say they're more of a challenge...

ELECTRIKE: [DEJECTED]

CAL: Jaco?

CAL: Say, who are these children?

JACO: Hi, sir! This is Ash and all of his friends.

- BROCK, DAWN, ASH: Hello, sir! - CAL: Hello! My name's Cal,

and I'm the head of the Pokémon Training Center.

BROCK, DAWN, ASH: Pokémon Training Center?

CAL: Yes.

CAL: Specializing in Electric-type Pokémon! See?

CAL: That's part of the Pokémon Training Center complex!

ASH: Bet there's lots of Electric-type Pokémon!

CAL: So Jaco, how are things going with Electrike?

- JACO: The truth? - CAL: Right.

CAL: But this one has so much potential.

CAL: And it's your job to bring that potential out!

I know you can do it, my boy.

JACO: Thank you, sir.

CAL: Now, how would you young people like a

little tourof our Pokémon Training Center?

BROCK, DAWN, ASH: Yeah!

DAWN: You mean it?

CAL: Long as you don't mind things being a bit quiet.

ASH: Whoa. So where are the Electric types?

DAWN: I don't see anybody.

CAL: I told you so. All the others have

finished with their training and graduated.

CAL: Of course, this Electrike will do the same

and then move on to the Power Generating Room.

DAWN: What goes on in there?

BROCK: First you train them to use their lightning

abilities, then they help you generate electricity, correct?

CAL: That's right. But in order to do that, they must have

complete control over all their Electric-type moves,

which is why they train here first.

ASH: Good idea.

CAL: So now we'll show you the results of their training.

CAL: Watch closely, please!

CAL: Electrike! Use Charge!

ELECTRIKE [C]: [CHARGE MOVE]

BROCK: First, Electrike's using Charge

to power up its Electric-type moves!

CAL: Thunder, now! ELECTRIKE [C]: [THUNDER MOVE]

CAL: Move it to the left!! ELECTRIKE [C]: [EFFORT]

ASH, PIKACHU, BROCK, DAWN: [AWED]

ASH: It turned!

CAL: Now upward!

ELECTRIKE [C]: [AFFIRMATIVE]

CAL: Now a quick descent, then hit the target!

ELECTRIKE [C]: [EFFORT]

BROCK, ASH, PIKACHU, DAWN: [AWED]

CAL: Well done, Electrike! ELECTRIKE [C]: [PLEASED]

ASH: Awesome!

BROCK: That kind of control is totally amazing!

ELECTRIKE: [JEALOUS]

CAL: Well, it certainly does make it much easier

to safely perform their work.

CAL: And you've got your work cut out for you!

JACO: Right!

CAL: And you may stay here for as long as you like!

ASH, BROCK, DAWN: Thank you so much!

CAL: Let's go, Electrike!

ELECTRIKE [C]: [AFFIRMATIVE]

DAWN: So you'll teach the same thing to this Electrike as well?

JACO: No! DAWN, ELECTRIKE: [SURPRISED]

JACO: If you ask me, this Electrike is doomed to fail.

JACO: Look, it lost control during the last training session

and caused you guys all sorts of trouble.

JACO: I know the boss tells me it'll all work out, but I'm the

one specializing in Flying-type Pokémon breeding, right?

DAWN: Well, that's what you said.

JACO: Right!

But even so, I'm now in a place

that specializes in Electric-type Pokémon.

JACO: The worst!

BROCK: May I take a closer look at your Electrike?

JACO: Sure

ELECTRIKE: [CURIOUS]

ELECTRIKE: [UNCERTAIN]

JACO: Now see what I mean?

BROCK: Nope!

It's just like what your boss says. I think it'll be fine!

JACO: You do?

BROCK: Hey, all you can do is your best.

I'd like to help, too!

BROCK: That is, if we could stay here for a bit.

ASH: No problem, Brock!

DAWN: I figured you'd offer to help out!

BROCK: Thanks, you guys! What do you say, Electrike?

ELECTRIKE: [EXCITED]

JACO: Well, I'll give it my best shot, and with

your help, who knows what we can accomplish?

JESSIE: Ooh! A Training Center Pokémon

should make for an excellent recruit!

JESSIE: Especially when that recruit gets ripped off!

MEOWTH: But that Electrike's got issues!

JESSIE: Not for long!

Leave it to the Twerps to smooth out the rough spots.

JAMES: But that could take eons.

JESSIE: All bad things come to those who wait.

JAMES, MEOWTH: Like us for you?

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

BROCK: Electrike stores up electricity in its fur,

so it's good to brush that fur all the time!

JACO: Just like this!

ASH: Major jolt!

JACO: What was that?

DAWN: Must be the brush!

JACO: What do you mean?

BROCK: Use a brush that's not made out of metal!

Metal brushes conduct electricity, you see.

JACO: Right

BROCK: First thing you want to do is relax Electrikelike this!

ELECTRIKE: [PURRING]

BROCK: Then you have to trust Electrike,

and doing that will teach it to trust you right back.

BROCK: It's really just the same as raising Flying-type Pokémon.

JACO: I guess you're right!

The problem with Electrike is I haven't really had any faith.

ASH: Man, you talk like Professor Oak, Brock!

DAWN: Ash is right.

ELECTRIKE: [SLEEPING]

ASH: Electrike's gonna be fine.

JACO: All right, Electrike, ready for some training?

ELECTRIKE: [AFFIRMATIVE] JACO: Let's start with Charge!

ELECTRIKE: [CHARGE MOVE]

JACO: Now Thunderbolt!

ELECTRIKE: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

PIKACHU: [SHOCKED]

- DAWN: Ash! - JACO: Electrike! Stop!

ELECTRIKE: [CONFUSED]

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

DAWN: You okay?

ASH: What's with me and Thunderbolts?

ELECTRIKE: [ASHAMED]

JACO: What went wrong now?

BROCK: The problem was in the timing!

JACO: What do you mean by that?

BROCK: Hey, Ash and Dawn, what do you say we show him?

ASH: Sure! PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

DAWN: This ought to be fun!

PIKACHU: [DETERMINED] PACHIRISU: [DETERMINED]

ASH: Store up your electricity!

DAWN: Both of you!

PIKACHU, PACHIRISU: [FOCUSED]

ASH: Pikachu! Thunderbolt!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

ASH: Bull's-eye! PIKACHU: [TRIUMPHANT]

JACO: Wow, great shot!

ELECTRIKE: [IMPRESSED]

DAWN: Pachirisu, ready to go?

PACHIRISU: [DISCHARGE MOVE]

ASH, PIKACHU: [ALARMED]

ASH: Somebody's out to get me!

DAWN: No, Pachirisu! Stop! PACHIRISU: [CONFUSED]

DAWN: Let's try it again! Here's a Poffin!

PACHIRISU: [HAPPY]

JACO: Poffin?

BROCK: They're Pachirisu's favorite thing to eat!

Things should go much better this time around.

DAWN: Now store it up, one more time!

PACHIRISU: [FOCUSED]

DAWN: All right, let's go!

PACHIRISU: [DISCHARGE MOVE]

DAWN: Perfect! PACHIRISU: [JOYFUL]

JACO: Wow! Right in the middle! ELECTRIKE: [IMPRESSED]

BROCK: The best timing for storing

and firing electricity depends on each Pokémon.

JACO: That makes sense to me.

BROCK: And Electrike's not doomed to fail.

I'm sure of that!

JACO, ELECTRIKE: [CURIOUS]

BROCK: In fact, I'd say Electrike has

more power than a normal Electrike does!

JACO: Huh, really? More power than normal?

ELECTRIKE: [SURPRISED]

ASH: You really think so?

DAWN: You know, maybe it had trouble because of excess power!

BROCK: Right!

JACO: So that means all I have to do is figure out

what Electrike's perfect timing is, and we're all set!

BROCK: That's all you need.

JACO: Yeah, that's great!

JACO: Okay, Electrike, let's get back to training!

ELECTRIKE: [EXCITED]

JAMES: Look! That didn't take long.

MEOWTH: Hey, waiting's easy!

JESSIE: Oh yeah? Whoever said that's an idiot!

MEOWTH: But bad things come to those who wait.

JESSIE: Well, you two just wait, because very soon,

all sorts of bad things are coming to you!

JACO: Wow, you're still up?

BROCK: Oh, I'm just whipping up a little

bit of foodfor Pikachu, that's all!

JACO: A little? Brock, you made all of this?

BROCK: Different food for different Pokémon.

And we've got lots!

JACO: But even so...

BROCK: It takes lots of time

and care if you want to raise Pokémon that are strong.

BROCK: And of course, that's our main job as breeders!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

PIKACHU: [ENCOURAGING] ELECTRIKE: [UNCERTAIN]

PIKACHU: [EXPLAINING] ELECTRIKE: [AFFIRMATIVE]

JAMES: They're at it 24/7!

MEOWTH: They're getting strong while we're getting wiped!

ELECTRIKE: [DETERMINED]

ELECTRIKE: [ATTACK]

ELECTRIKE: [DISAPPOINTED] PIKACHU: [EXPLAINING]

ELECTRIKE: [AFFIRMATIVE]

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE] ELECTRIKE: [IMPRESSED]

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

ELECTRIKE: [UNCERTAIN] PIKACHU: [ENCOURAGING]

ELECTRIKE: [CONFIDENT]

JAMES: You know what? They sure know how to act like a team.

MEOWTH: They sure do!

Kind of puts a lump in my Pokémonic throat.

JAMES: Yeah! My throat, too!

MEOWTH: That's the way a real team should be!

JESSIE: Touching.

JESSIE: Though I think you're touched in the head.

JAMES: You would think that!

MEOWTH: We could learn a thing or two from them!

JESSIE: Don't fall for that gobbledygook!

JAMES: Oh, now I understand!

MEOWTH: You don't help friends out like that, so no one can.

JESSIE: Cut the psychology!

JESSIE: I want Electrike right now!

JAMES: Aren't you being hasty?

MEOWTH: They're not done yet!

JESSIE: I don't like anything overdone!

PIKACHU, ELECTRIKE: [SURPRISED] PIKACHU, ELECTRIKE: [ALARMED]

JESSIE: Time's up!

PIKACHU, ELECTRIKE: [WORRIED]

PIKACHU, ELECTRIKE: [SCARED]

JACO: What could've happened here?

- ASH: Pikachu! - JACO: Electrike!

JESSIE: Perfect! Just ripe for the Poké-picking!

Picked at the peak of power! Good, aren't I?

ASH: Team Rocket!

BROCK: You can't take them!

JESSIE: Listen! Is that the voice of Twerply gloom?

JAMES: Join our pity party. There's plenty of room.

JESSIE: On the wind!

JAMES: The stars

MEOWTH: We're doomed.

JESSIE: Bringing chaos at a breakneck pace!

JAMES: She's dashed all my hope. What a bummer.

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

JAMES: When everything's worse, then of course, it's much worse.

- JESSIE: Jessie! - JAMES: James the pain.

MEOWTH: I can't say my name.

JESSIE: Putting all you do-gooders in your place!

JAMES: Team Rocket, sad to say.

JESSIE: We're in your face!

JAMES, MEOWTH: Ouch WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

MIME JR: [MIMICKING]

JACO: Who's Team Rocket?

DAWN: The bad guys, who love to cause us trouble!

JESSIE: And it's time to cause you more!

JESSIE: What's with you?

JAMES: You can't rob those two mid-quest!

MEOWTH: When it comes to teamwork, that team is the best!

ASH, DAWN, BROCK, PIKACHU, JACO, ELECTRIKE: [CONFUSED]

JACO: Hold on. You sure they're all the bad guys?

JESSIE: Now you hold on, smart mouth.

JAMES: No, you!

JAMES: I will not allow you to defame that

devoted duo and destroy their destiny!

MEOWTH: Yeah! If you want to mess up

somebody's life,then do it to yourself!

JESSIE: What? To myself?

To myself?

JESSIE: That's it!

JESSIE: You won't have Jessie to kick around anymore!

JACO, DAWN, BROCK, ASH: Whoa

- JAMES: Pikachu! - MEOWTH: Electrike!

JAMES: Your hard work is dedication inspiration!

MEOWTH: You guys rock!

So won't you please let us be your training buddies?

ELECTRIKE, PIKACHU: [UNCERTAIN]

JACO: Hey, that's great! Thank you both!

Like one big happy family!

JAMES, MEOWTH: Yeah!

ASH: Somebody wake me up.

JACO: Breakfast time!

JACO: Made just for you.

PIKACHU, ELECTRIKE: [EXCITED]

PIKACHU: [PLEASED] ELECTRIKE: [PLEASED]

JACO: Yeah, good, huh?

I made it according to Brock's own secret recipe!

ASH: Wow, Jaco's really turned things around.

DAWN: Hard to believe at first he didn't know

anything about Electric-type Pokémon.

JAMES: It's like Jaco and the Pokémon are growing up together!

MEOWTH: Gets you right here.

JACO: Now one more time! Electrike, use Charge!

ELECTRIKE: [CHARGE MOVE]

JACO: All right then, Thunderbolt!

ELECTRIKE: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

ASH, BROCK, DAWN, MEOWTH, JAMES, PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

JACO: Wow, you did it! You did it!

JACO: Electrike, that was wonderful!

ELECTRIKE: [PLEASED] DAWN: Look at them both!

ASH: Yeah! PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

JAMES: That's what it's all about!

MEOWTH: And it's all's well that ends well.

BROCK: Not quite.

BROCK: Electrike now has

to learn lightning control to graduate!

ASH: Oh, man!

ASH: Hey Brock, do we have to do this?

BROCK: Don't worry. Those jackets are 100% insulated.

JAMES: Well, I for one welcome the challenge!

MEOWTH: Me, too! We're used to a good blast!

JACO: All right, here goes! Electrike, Thunder!

ELECTRIKE: [THUNDER MOVE]

- JAMES: You can't hit me! - MEOWTH: Na na na na na!

ASH: Joke all you want. I'm getting out of here!

JACO: Okay, Electrike, after them!

ELECTRIKE: [AFFIRMATIVE]

CAL: Whoa! When it comes to training, I like their style!

ASH: Something's wrong!

JAMES: Maybe Electrike needs glasses.

MEOWTH: A lot of misses but no hits.

JACO: You've got to concentrate, Electrike, I know you can do it.

ELECTRIKE: [SHOCKED] ELECTRIKE: [STRUGGLING]

JESSIE: Well, I didn't miss, did I?

JACO: Electrike! PIKACHU: [SCARED]

- JAMES: Jessie! - MEOWTH: What are you doing?

JESSIE: You told me to be more self

sufficient, and that's what I'm doing!

JESSIE: Feast your over-sentimental eyes

on my potent pink Jessie Princess Prowler Mark One!

JAMES: Jessie actually made that?

MEOWTH: Guess that's what tough love will do.

ASH: Pikachu, Thunderbolt, let's go!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

ELECTRIKE: [STRUGGLING]

JESSIE: Don't waste your watts!

I remembered to insulate, unlike some loser loafs!

PIKACHU: [FRUSTRATED]

JACO: Electrike, you've got to get out of there!

ELECTRIKE: [STRUGGLING]

JESSIE: Come on! You can't hit a dumb target!

ELECTRIKE: [RISING YELL]

JACO: Oh no!

MEOWTH: It's that evolving thing.

JESSIE: Just my luck.

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

MANECTRIC: [CONFIDENT]

JACO: Electrike's a Manectric now!

DAWN: Wow, let's check it out.

POKEDEX: Manectric. The Discharge Pokémon.

POKEDEX: It is constantly discharging the electricity

it collects in its mane.

JESSIE: Now that you're so big,

how am I supposed to hold you in my lap and pet you?

JESSIE: Change of plans. Target left!

PIKACHU: [SCARED]

JESSIE: You're still small enough!

ASH: Pikachu! PIKACHU: [SCARED]

BROCK: No, not again!

JESSIE: We've got the Pika-goods, so hop on board!

JAMES: I realize catching Pikachu

is the culmination of years of work.

MEOWTH: But we've also got to consider the friendships

we've created with all these Twerps.

JAMES: No contest!

- JAMES: Ready, Meowth? - MEOWTH: Watch your hair!

- ASH: What's that? - JACO: The insulation!

JAMES: Right here!

MEOWTH: Target this and fire big time!

JESSIE: What?

JACO: All right, Manectric, use Charge!

MANECTRIC: [CHARGE MOVE]

JACO: Now use Thunder!

MANECTRIC: [THUNDER MOVE]

JESSIE: Too little too late!

JACO: Right!

MANECTRIC: [EFFORT]

JESSIE: Where did you get that aim?

JACO: Now to the left! MANECTRIC: [EFFORT]

ASH: Manectric's got awesome control!

JAMES: That's it!

MEOWTH: Now, straight for the breadbasket!

- JESSIE: Time for plan B! - MEOWTH: It flies?

JESSIE: Ha! I stole your thunder!

DAWN: They're up too far.

JACO: No way. I believe in Manectric!

Raise your Thunder high!

MANECTRIC: [THUNDER MOVE]

PIKACHU: [IMPRESSED] JESSIE: Pika...

MEOWTH: They did it!

JAMES: Yeah.

JESSIE: You and your soft-heartedness!

JAMES: I'm actually looking forward to this.

MEOWTH: Do-the-right-thing bliss!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

JESSIE: We're blasting off again!

PIKACHU: [HAPPY] ASH: Pikachu!

ASH: Hey, Jaco, Manectric's control was unbelievable!

JACO: Thanks! We'll need that on the test!

CAL: The test is over. JACO: [SURPRISED]

CAL: I've seen all I need to! Manectric graduates with honors!

JACO: Really? Manectric, you're in!

MANECTRIC: [HAPPY]

DAWN: I think you both are in!

ASH, BROCK: Well, you two sure earned it!

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

JACO: We did! Thank you!

MANECTRIC: [CONFIDENT]

CAL: Let's go, Manectric!

We'll really be able to use all the help you

can give over at the Power Generating Room.

MANECTRIC: [PLEASED]

JACO: Manectric

JACO: I'll miss you. MANECTRIC: [AGREEMENT]

DAWN: After all the hard work they did together,

it's too bad they have to say goodbye.

BROCK: That's part of the job.

BROCK: Great breeders prepare their Pokémon

for living life to the fullest, like Jaco!

BROCK: So Hearthome City awaits.

ASH: [AGREEMENT]

NARRATOR: A lesson in trust can go a long wayto

deepen relationships between people and Pokémon.

NARRATOR: And with that lesson fresh in their minds and hearts,

our heroes bid farewell to a Pokémon breeder who just

happened to be at the right place

and time to learn that lesson!

Now the journey to Hearthome City continues!
