Original subtitles

Listen, we're not your enemies.

That's right!

People and Pokémon can truly live together

as friends!

Yes, I hear you. If only it were so.

- Goodbye. - N?

N, come back!

[URGENT]

They vanished, and the mansion and the forest.

[INCREDULOUS]

Maybe, maybe it was just a dream.

[CONFUSED]

We'll see 'em again. I'm sure of it!

When we do, they'll understand.

You wait and see. It'll be great.

[OPTIMISTIC]

[SURPRISED]

[URGENT]/[SURPRISED]

CILAN That's Dragonspiral Tower.

We're close to the White Ruins.

Then let's hurry up.

ASH "Meowth, Colress,

And Team Rivalry!"

NARRATOR Following N's mysterious

disappearance into the fog

our heroes have just stopped at the local Pokémon Center

and their journey to the White Ruins

is almost over!

Wow! We're so close to the White Ruins!

- Alright! Come on, Pikachu! - Wait for us, Ash.

You're such a little kid!

[EMPHATIC]

ALDITH Concordia and Anthea?

Yes! After they reunited, N disappeared once more!

We tried our very best to secure him!

But that annoying kid with the Pikachu

got in our way once again, we're sorry.

Your excuses are sorry.

But Concordia and Anthea are nearly impossible to track.

And if N's back with them once again, he will be too.

ALDITH Silence!

We have direct orders from Lord Ghetsis to secure N.

- Right. - Right.

N could become a huge threat

Team Plasma doesn't need that.

Now that the Pokémon controlling device is complete

'N must be eliminated!'

No. The device is close to completion, but not quite.

In science, nothing is ever complete.

Urgh.

Analysis of Haxoruss data has revealed that the process

of amplifying Delta brainwaves can still be improved.

As soon as I finish debugging the program

I'll begin experimenting on the test subjects once more.

Urgh.

Still, we can't have N running around out of control.

Right, we'll secure him at once.

- Lets go. - Hold on.

Yes?

It appears you've brought some unwanted guests with you.

Guests? What do you mean?

You were followed. By those two.

BARRET 'Oh, you!'

ALDITH Team Rocket, isn't it?

Starting today, your device is ours.

In your dreams! Now, get them.

- Hm! - Hm!

MAN #1 'Magnemite! Sonic Boom!'

[SONIC BOOM MOVE]

MAN #2 'Golbat, use Shadow Ball.'

[SHADOW BALL MOVE]

- Later! - Oh, after them!

- Right. - Right.

I'm going too. Colress, I'm leaving you in charge.

It's my pleasure.

Well, well, now, isn't this cozy.

It's Meowth. From Team Rocket.

Right, two points.

Quite clever.

'Your partners acted as decoys'

'so you could steal my device.'

'That is your plan, correct?'

You're clever too, but I'm taking those

two points away, 'cause you're wrong.

Oh, then what exactly are you after?

Good question. We're going right to the source.

And that would be you, good doctor!

Huh?

[laughing]

Hilarious, fantastic! How unexpected.

Oh, I do apologize.

Please, continue. You now have me quite intrigued.

Ash, wait up. Come on, Ash.

Will you chill out?

What's the big idea?

[STARTLED]/[CONFUSED]

Excitements fine, but how about a little break?

[stomach rumble]

I am hungry.

So let's have lunch.

'Come on out, gang.'

[EXCITED]

[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]/[STARTLED]

Cool! A device that can control Pokémon is a real piece of work!

Got to hand it to you!

Amazing.

To think that a Pokémon would be praising my work.

I am honored. Thank you.

Sure, but it's your talent that really floats my boat.

You wouldn't know it, working for Team Plasma.

Let's cut to the chase.

This day job doesn't thrill you and you know it.

'You couldn't care less about Team Plasma's'

puffed up plans. You wanna do your research!

I can see it in your eyes.

Hm, and if I join Team Rocket

all my wishes will come true?

There's a big duh.

It's an interesting proposition.

And speaking of interesting

I find you to be quite interesting, as well.

Who, me?

COLRESS 'You, one doesn't come across'

a talking Meowth every day, you know.

In fact, in very much the same way Team Rocket

seems to need me, I need you too.

Wanna translate that?

You're an intelligent Pokémon. I could really use your help.

Hmm, I'll lay you two to one odds

that you want to use me as a test subject.

Yes! There would be no better

test subject than a true one of a kind Pokémon.

Me, part of your first experiment

as a Team Rocket member? You've got yourself a deal!

My heartfelt thanks.

Magnezone!

'Use Magnet Bomb!'

[CONFIDENT]/[MAGNET BOMB MOVE]

Liepard, go.

[CHALLENGING]

'Hm! We're in the midst of implementing'

our glorious mission to take over Unova

but you're nothing but a nuisance!

We're going to squash you!

Squash us? We're not bug types, you know.

Team Rocket has instilled fear

throughout the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh regions!

Oh, please! Magnezone, Gyro Ball!

Liepard, use Shadow Ball!

[GYRO BALL MOVE] [SHADOW BALL MOVE]

[gasps]

- Uh! An energy field? - Uh!

Now, stay put and behave, won't you?

Be good. At least until our glorious mission is complete.

What? Wait! Come back here.

Man I'm stuffed. I'm filled up to the top.

[SATISFIED]

I'm stuffed too.

Did you get enough? [AFFIRMATIVE]

Good! Let's clean up and get back on the road.

Alright, everyone, return!

IRIS 'Lunch time's over.'

[CONTENT]

Okay, let's move out.

[EXCITED]

[CONTENT]

'Huh? Pignite, you haven't eaten anything at all.'

[DISTRESSED]

Are you feeling alright?

Pignite was just examined at the Pokémon Center.

I don't get it. Strange.

[EXERTION]

[SNEEZING]/[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

[SHOCKED]

[CONCERNED]

Are you okay?

[CONCERNED]

[chuckles]

I'm okay, it wasn't that strong.

"It wasn't that strong?"

Pignite, use Flamethrower.

[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

[EMPHATIC]/[SHOCKED]

[DISAPPOINTED] That had no spice at all.

Bland indeed, by Pignite's standards.

I don't get it. I wonder why.

[CONCERNED] [SAD]

It's okay, you'll be alright, try to cheer up, Pignite.

[ENCOURAGING]

COLRESS 'Debugging, complete.'

'Target confirmed. Locked on.'

'Firing!'

[Meowth screams]

Checking Gamma and Delta brainwaves.

I thought so. No, wait!

It's even better than I expected!

Great, simply great!

[thinking] Heh! So this is how

Dr. Smarty-pants controls Pokémon.

Just not this Pokémon!

There's one Mareep, and two Mareep and then three Mareep.

You are speedy!

So, Dr. Colress, everything under control?

Hm, I'm most grateful for Meowth's generous cooperation.

- It's just as we thought. - Correct.

That special concentration training was well worth it.

Meowth is as solid as a proverbial rock.

A hundred one Mareep, a hundred two Mareep

a hundred three Mareep.

[screaming]

Mareep, Mareep!

GROUP Who's that Pokémon?

GROUP It's Magnezone.

[groaning]

[grunts]

BARRET 'Magnezone, use Magnet Bomb.'

[MAGNET BOMB MOVE]

What are you standing there for? Attack already!

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

- Don't. It's useless. - 'But--'

ALDITH 'Attacking the energy field

won't accomplish a thing.'

Then what do you suggest we do?

Dr. Colress can't defend against Team Rocket by himself.

We need to get back quickly!

[NERVOUS]

Barret, have Magnezone use Supersonic.

- Huh? - Hurry up!

Right! Magnezone, Supersonic!

[PAINED]/[DISORIENTED]

The Pokémon are confused!

Supersonic must be unaffected by the energy field!

[POISON STING MOVE]

[DISCHARGE MOVE]/ [RAZOR LEAF MOVE]

BARRET Perfect!

The energy field's gone.

Calm down, let's go.

- Right. - Right.

You finished your device. Excellent!

Your talent will be instrumental in helping us

take over the Unova Region.

You're so driven to take over the world.

What is it that drives evil groups

like Team Rocket and Team Plasma?

Our mission doesn't need any reason.

It is our nature to take what we want!

Although, we're really not evil.

We just do what we want because we can.

It's no more complicated than that.

- 'Oh, really?' - Huh?

You're nothing but low level hacks

in a third rate organization.

Team Rocket will never take control of Unova, ever.

Don't be so sure, the last laugh is the best laugh, always.

Agreed, doctor?

I've finished running my tests.

You'll be happy to know Meowth is now one of us. Team Plasma.

- What? - You traitor!

My word, such accusations.

I never said anything about

being a part of your organization.

'While it is true I'm not satisfied'

with my current situation

I'm not that dissatisfied with it either. At least for now.

Perhaps force will change your mind!

Sorry for the bad news, but Meowth's not under your control.

Isn't that right?

- Meowth, what's wrong? - Oh!

ALDITH Meowth, do you understand?

Your enemy is Team Rocket.

[growls]

You shouldn't underestimate my device.

You look rather foolish.

[growling]

Use Flamethrower!

[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

[CONFUSED]/[DISAPPOINTED]

Oh, man, this is a first. What's going on?

[WORRIED]

[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

[DISCOURAGED]

[CONCERNED]

[SURPRISED]

[ALARMED]

- What's the matter, Axew? - Huh?

[gasps]

Hey! There's something stuck in there.

IRIS And it's stuck way in the back.

That would explain the issue with Pignite's Flamethrower.

So what do we do now?

[CONCERNED]

Huh, let's see.

Perhaps we can come up with some method

of shaking it out.

I suggest jumping up and down.

Okay, let's try it. Ready and jump.

[EXERTION]/[STARTLED]

How's that? Did it come out?

[DISCOURAGED]

Let's try it again.

[DETERMINED]

And jump!

[INTENT]/[MERRY]

Higher this time!

[EXERTION]

So they were experimenting here too.

Where did they go?

Huh? Uh..

You saw them here, didn't you?

'Tell me. Please.'

What is Team Plasma up to? It's important.

[rumbling]

[SKEPTICAL]

Team Plasma has been toying

with the lives of Pokémon.

It must stop!

[FURY SWIPES MOVE]

[grunting]

That's right. Keep up the attacks.

[FURY SWIPES MOVE]

- Huh! - Huh!

Incredible!

Those Fury Swipes created a cyclone.

[chuckles] It's wonderful.

It's sheer brilliance.

'I've created a test subject whose battling skills'

'have been raised to their limit!'

[SINISTER]

I can't believe Meowth's under their control.

It's a brilliant device, but they haven't won yet.

Go, Amoonguss, now!

Frillish, you too.

[DETERMINED]

Huh! They're attacking their own teammate?

Frillish, use Bubble Beam!

[BUBBLE BEAM MOVE]

[FURY SWIPES MOVE]

Quick, Amoonguss, Stun Spore!

[STUN SPORE MOVE]

[grunts]

- Aah! - Body Slam, let's go.

[BODY SLAM MOVE] [PAINED]

[STRUGGLING] Alright, Frillish, Psychic.

[PSYCHIC MOVE]

[STRUGGLING]

Listen! Concentrate on my voice, Meowth!

Now, six Noctowl! And now five Noctowl! Now four Noctowl!

And now three Noctowl! And now two Noctowl!

And now one Noctowl!

JESSIE/JAMES And what's next? Zero!

[grunts]

Huh?

That was some crazy dream I just had!

[gasps]

Why you. Go, Liepard!

[CHALLENGING] Alright, Frillish, use Mist!

[MIST MOVE] [DISTRESSED]

What?

[coughing]

You won't get away, Team Rocket!

- Uh! - They're gone!

Up there!

Guess they did get away.

Argh.

You gave us a start, old chum.

I'm glad our voices rang your chimes.

What a relief getting out of that brain fog.

But even with all that Mareep counting

the machine still got me! Sorry, guys.

Fret not! There'll be other quests for success!

You're not having very much luck.

Well, we haven't tried this yet!

'Go, Charizard!'

'We need your help!'

[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

Alright, up in the sky.

[DETERMINED]/[ALARMED]

[SCARED]

[DETERMINED]

Spinning around like that, Pignite might feel

like it's caught in a tornado, but it just might work.

Hang in there, Pignite!

[EMPHATIC]

[DETERMINED]/[SCARED]

[TERRIFIED]

[yelling] [TERRIFIED]

[SURPRISED]

[RELIEVED]

Did it work, Pignite?

[DISCOURAGED]

Hmm, man. I was sure that was gonna to do it.

PIKACHU [DISAPPOINTED]

Hmm.

Huh?

You're telling me that you actually allowed

N to escape again?

Getting the same bad news over and over again

does not please me in the least!

ALDITH My apologies, sir.

Very well, then. I am actually in quite a good mood today!

Huh?

We've finally found it!

A clue that leads us to the Light Stone's whereabouts.

ALDITH The Light Stone?

GHETSIS Yes, at the White Ruins.

ALDITH We'll go there immediately!

The time has finally come to meet

'the Legendary Reshiram in the flesh, Dr. Colress.'

There cannot be a more incredible test subject.

[chuckles]

Reshiram. Unovas Legendary Pokémon.

If we go to the White Ruins

we'll get our own meet and greet!

Let's go pronto. That Reshiram belongs to us.

We simply have to catch it!

Hey! Could I try something?

Fine with me, but what?

[SURPRISED]/[CONFUSED]

Tada! I'm gonna use this.

Like so, see? I just wiggle it around lightly.

Then I wiggle it a little more.

[SNEEZING]

Wow, it worked.

Of course it did! Yay for me!

[EXCITED]

[CURIOUS] [URGENT]

- Huh? What are those things? - Look at that.

I don't have a clue!

It looks like seed shells from a Bullet Seed!

Wow, you think so? Wait, I remember!

[BULLET SEED MOVE]

[PAINED]/[DAZED]

They must have gotten stuck in there!

Well, I'm glad that everything worked out!

[PLEASED]

So now, give me your best Flamethrower!

[HAPPY]/[EAGER]

[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

Yeah! Now that's what I'm talking about!

Pikachu, Charizard, what do you think?

[PLEASED]

[PLEASED]/[FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

Yeah, I thought so.

You guys rule!

[ENTHUSIASTIC]

ASH 'One more time!'

PIGNITE/AXEW [CONFIDENT]/[IMPRESSED]

NARRATOR And so, a fateful encounter

with the Legendary Pokémon

Reshiram is about to take place!

And just what awaits our heroes on their path?

The answer to come, as the journey continues!
