1. After witnessing Paul's impressive
victory at the Oreburgh Gym,
Copy !req
2. Ash waged his premier gym battle
in the Sinnoh region against Roark,
Copy !req
3. the Oreburgh Gym leader, battling
with fierce tenacity,
Copy !req
4. as he teamed up with his Aipom,
Turtwig, and, finally, Pikachu.
Copy !req
5. However, the end result
of our hero's efforts was not
Copy !req
6. to be the same as Paul's, when Ash's
hard-fought battle against Roark
Copy !req
7. ended in a mind-boggling defeat.
Copy !req
8. Pikachu, Iron Tail - let's go!
Copy !req
9. Aipom, now - Focus Punch!
Copy !req
10. Turtwig, use Razor Leaf now!
Copy !req
11. Twig! Twig! Twig!
Copy !req
12. Pika!
Copy !req
13. Awesome stuff!
Way to go, guys! Pika!
Copy !req
14. Wow, they're all looking great.
Copy !req
15. Guess the Oreburgh Gym battle
is yesterday's news.
Copy !req
16. Piplup, Piplup!
Copy !req
17. Buneary? Buneary! Pika. Pikachu...
Copy !req
18. Buneary, Buneary, Buneary!
Copy !req
19. Using that coal ore for training
was a great idea, Ash.
Copy !req
20. Yeah, with so many different kinds
of rocks around,
Copy !req
21. it looks like you made
the perfect choice.
Copy !req
22. Thanks. Just look at how psyched
everyone is.
Copy !req
23. Now we keep training so we can do it
in our sleep and that badge is ours!
Copy !req
24. But, Ash, they aren't really
the best match-ups
Copy !req
25. for the rock types at Oreburgh Gym,
if you know what I mean.
Copy !req
26. Yeah, except for Turtwig.
Copy !req
27. Hey, I know! Call your friend,
the TV Pokemon poet.
Copy !req
28. Dawn, Professor Oak's a professor.
Copy !req
29. That's the guy!
Copy !req
30. Doesn't Professor Oak have a whole
bunch of different Pokemon?
Copy !req
31. Just call and ask him to send you
some of yours
Copy !req
32. that are strong against rock types.
Copy !req
33. Or I could lend you Piplup.
Copy !req
34. Nope, I'm sticking with
the Pokemon I have.
Copy !req
35. But, Ash, don't you want to win?
Copy !req
36. Of course I want to win!
Copy !req
37. Look, I don't need to change
Pokemon to beat Roark.
Copy !req
38. Doesn't matter who you're up
against -
Copy !req
39. there's always a way to win.
Copy !req
40. You see, we're a team and we'll stay
as a team.
Copy !req
41. But... they're just not
the right type of Pokemon.
Copy !req
42. Look at Paul.
Copy !req
43. He didn't have the right
type of Pokemon either.
Copy !req
44. But did that stop him? No way!
Copy !req
45. Well, if he can do it, then I know
I can do it, too.
Copy !req
46. So, guys, let's win it at
the Oreburgh Gym,
Copy !req
47. but we'll do it our way!
Copy !req
48. Pika, Pika!
Copy !req
49. Aipom! Twig, Turtwig!
Copy !req
50. Silly me! I don't know
what I was thinking.
Copy !req
51. I do have an idea -
the perfect training partner
Copy !req
52. for what you're going to be up
against.
Copy !req
53. Huh? What do you mean, Brock?
Copy !req
54. Sudowoodo, let's go!
Copy !req
55. Sudowoodo!
Copy !req
56. Sudowoodo!
Copy !req
57. Wait, I don't get it.
Copy !req
58. Sudowoodo can use Rock Head.
That's right.
Copy !req
59. As we all remember, Rock Head
is an ability that makes Pokemon
Copy !req
60. immune to the recoil of moves
like Double Edge
Copy !req
61. and which can save you a lot
of damage in the long run.
Copy !req
62. That's the same special ability
that Roark's Onix has.
Copy !req
63. Exactly right.
Copy !req
64. You train hard against Sudowoodo
and I guarantee you'll have
Copy !req
65. some insights on how to win
in Oreburgh Gym.
Copy !req
66. That's great, Brock. Thanks.
Copy !req
67. Hey, guys, what do you say
we get down to it?
Copy !req
68. Pikachu! Aha! Turtwig, Tur!
Copy !req
69. All right! Just watching you has
gotten me totally psyched as well.
Copy !req
70. We're going to go back
to the Pokemon Center
Copy !req
71. and start to work on some
new combinations
Copy !req
72. I've been thinking about
for a while.
Copy !req
73. Good for you.
I'm sure they'll be great.
Copy !req
74. And good luck
with all your training.
Copy !req
75. Come on, Piplup and Buneary.
Let's go! Buneary!
Copy !req
76. Here's the site of
the next Pokemon contest.
Copy !req
77. That exciting event will be held
in Floaroma Town. Be there.
Copy !req
78. It's a beautiful location
that's not to be missed.
Copy !req
79. So for all of your coordinators
out there,
Copy !req
80. beginners up through seasoned pros,
I urge you all not to miss this one!
Copy !req
81. We'll be there,
and we hope you will, too.
Copy !req
82. Oh! Huh!
Copy !req
83. Well, Floaroma Town.
Copy !req
84. Don't you worry, Marian,
I'll be there for my ribbon.
Copy !req
85. No way! They couldn't have stolen
it.
Copy !req
86. Huh?
Copy !req
87. The fossil restorer must have
been taken after we went home.
Copy !req
88. What about the revived Pokemon?
Copy !req
89. They're all fine.
Copy !req
90. There was no damage to the fossils
in the storeroom either.
Copy !req
91. We'd better get in touch
with Officer Jenny right away.
Copy !req
92. Right.
Copy !req
93. Well, at least none of the Pokemon
were injured
Copy !req
94. during this awful ordeal.
Copy !req
95. Except there was
a Pokemon inside.
Copy !req
96. You're right! We were in the process
of restoring a Pokemon!
Copy !req
97. If it completes and then,
somehow, it gets loose...
Copy !req
98. Cheers!
Copy !req
99. Talk about being restored.
So to speak!
Copy !req
100. Stealing the fossil restorer's
going to restore our rep!
Copy !req
101. First we dig a hole,
now we're on a roll!
Copy !req
102. Whenever we hark back to doing what
we do best, the rest is history.
Copy !req
103. OK, let's fling fossils in
there till it's full.
Copy !req
104. It's like putting money in the bank!
Copy !req
105. We'll fill Sinnoh with ever
so many fabulous fossils,
Copy !req
106. it isn't even funny!
Copy !req
107. James, show us the first one.
Copy !req
108. Meowth has it.
Copy !req
109. You got the wrong guy! It's Jess.
Copy !req
110. Hold on! Finishing the fossil
was your job!
Copy !req
111. I was in charge of
machine maintenance!
Copy !req
112. I was in charge of hole maintenance!
Copy !req
113. The one in your head?
Copy !req
114. Wobbuffet!
Copy !req
115. You always mess up
my brilliant ideas!
Copy !req
116. The brilliant ideas come from me!
Copy !req
117. You wouldn't know one if it bit ya!
Copy !req
118. A pre-found fossil?
Copy !req
119. It appears to have been placed
in times past.
Copy !req
120. And it looks
like it's finished baking.
Copy !req
121. Then that means...!
Copy !req
122. All done! What's old is new!
Copy !req
123. It's a fossil coup!
Copy !req
124. Woohoo! It's an Aerodactyl Pokemon
for me and you!
Copy !req
125. Without further ado, go, Poke Ball!
Copy !req
126. Ah!
Copy !req
127. That must hurt!
Copy !req
128. You ingrate! Not every ancient
Pokemon gets into Team Rocket!
Copy !req
129. James, what is that?
Copy !req
130. Hold on, let me see.
Copy !req
131. I'm almost there...
Copy !req
132. Yes, here it is.
Copy !req
133. That move's been dubbed
Giga Impact.
Copy !req
134. Hey, catchy name!
Copy !req
135. Well, that name's our claim to fame.
Copy !req
136. No Aerodactyl's going to get me
to brush off!
Copy !req
137. Whoa!
Copy !req
138. It's winging its way to town.
Copy !req
139. Shall we? Let's.
Copy !req
140. Hey, hold the phone. Huh?
Copy !req
141. Before we head back into
that urban sprawl,
Copy !req
142. let's crank out a few fossils
to take along.
Copy !req
143. Say, it's long range!
And they said Meowth was strange.
Copy !req
144. So, first off, it's trying
to do a little Poke show prep.
Copy !req
145. Turtwig, Razor Leaf, now!
Copy !req
146. Turtwig, Turn!
Copy !req
147. Sudowoodo, use Double Edge!
Copy !req
148. Sudowoodo!
Copy !req
149. Tur! Sudo!
Copy !req
150. Twig!
Copy !req
151. Turn, Turtwig!
Copy !req
152. Turtwig's moves have gotten
a lot stronger,
Copy !req
153. but that's still not enough.
Copy !req
154. The rock type Pokemon at
the Oreburgh Gym
Copy !req
155. have tonnes of speed and power.
Copy !req
156. I've got to figure out
how to deal with that!
Copy !req
157. And just fighting back
with pure power,
Copy !req
158. that's not the answer either!
Copy !req
159. Hey, Ash. Huh?
Copy !req
160. Hey, how about a break?
Copy !req
161. The Pokemon are feeling
kind of wiped out.
Copy !req
162. Yeah, you're right.
Copy !req
163. You are working hard.
Copy !req
164. Huh?
Copy !req
165. Hey, Roark! Rock as far as the eye
can see.
Copy !req
166. It is a great way for you to get
ready for another battle in my gym.
Copy !req
167. And you can be sure we're working
super hard.
Copy !req
168. Just don't work too hard.
Copy !req
169. You simply figure out a strategy
that suits you
Copy !req
170. and your Pokemon as well.
Copy !req
171. Uh... OK.
Copy !req
172. But I was just thinking
about the way you fought Paul.
Copy !req
173. Hang on a sec. Huh?
Copy !req
174. This has been eating at me
since our last battle.
Copy !req
175. Just who is it you're trying
to beat, anyway?
Copy !req
176. Oh, that! Uh... Right.
Copy !req
177. It's understandable that you'd be
concerned about Paul,
Copy !req
178. but it's not Paul you're going to be
battling with.
Copy !req
179. It's me, right?
Copy !req
180. Yeah, I hear you. Good.
You'll be fine.
Copy !req
181. And I've got some serious
digging to do.
Copy !req
182. What, now?
Looking for fossils, right?
Copy !req
183. Right! I've always loved
ancient Pokemon.
Copy !req
184. Like that!
Copy !req
185. I found the Cranidos fossil
when I was just a kid,
Copy !req
186. and so I had to have it restored.
Copy !req
187. Huh? You restored it?
Yeah, we sure did!
Copy !req
188. What an amazing thing,
to restore Pokemon fossils!
Copy !req
189. Thing is, Cranidos was the first
Pokemon we used it on.
Copy !req
190. Awesome!
Amazing what science can do.
Copy !req
191. Yeah! But these fossils
are more amazing. Huh? Huh?
Copy !req
192. You see, Pokemon have been changing
in a process that's
Copy !req
193. been taking place for millions
of years to get to this point.
Copy !req
194. It's almost as if these fossils
have come back
Copy !req
195. to tell me
all about their ancient secrets.
Copy !req
196. Huh...
Copy !req
197. Yeah, fossils are as beautiful
as it gets.
Copy !req
198. Buneary! Chirp!
Copy !req
199. Wow! You were great. Buneary!
Copy !req
200. You nailed it perfectly.
Copy !req
201. Now, don't forget any of it.
One more time.
Copy !req
202. Buneary?
Copy !req
203. Whoa! What's that?
Copy !req
204. Look out!
Copy !req
205. Was that an Aerodactyl?
How could that be?
Copy !req
206. Aerodactyl,
the fossil Pokemon.
Copy !req
207. An ancient flying type, it is
equipped with sharp, saw-like teeth.
Copy !req
208. But how? It couldn't have escaped
from the museum, right?
Copy !req
209. Huh? The museum?
Copy !req
210. You hear that sound?
Copy !req
211. Sure do. Aerodactyl's in a rage!
Aerodactyl?
Copy !req
212. Oh, no! It had to come
from the restored fossil!
Copy !req
213. It's coming here.
Copy !req
214. ALARM SOUNDS, HE GASPS
Copy !req
215. Kabutops and Armaldo
are heading out!
Copy !req
216. Let's go! OK.
Copy !req
217. Armaldo! Tops!
Copy !req
218. Huh?
Copy !req
219. In the Poke Balls! Right!
Copy !req
220. Armaldo! Tops!
Copy !req
221. Wait, Kabutops! Armaldo!
Copy !req
222. But... what happens next?
Copy !req
223. True beauty. There's nothing
more beautiful than these.
Copy !req
224. Roark! Huh? Huh?
Copy !req
225. Something terrible has happened.
What? Tell me!
Copy !req
226. The ancient Pokemon
are on a rampage!
Copy !req
227. Oreburgh citizens,
Aerodactyl, Kabutops and Armaldo
Copy !req
228. are scaring our citizens.
Copy !req
229. We're now formulating a plan
to capture all three of them
Copy !req
230. at the Oreburgh Mine.
Copy !req
231. But in the meantime, all citizens
must evacuate at once.
Copy !req
232. The Oreburgh Mine? That's where Ash
and the others are!
Copy !req
233. Maldo! Tops!
Copy !req
234. Not a moment too soon.
Copy !req
235. Hey, wait, we need to find
Aerodactyl.
Copy !req
236. The search helicopter's on it now,
Copy !req
237. but we need to deal with them.
Copy !req
238. You're right. Hold on.
Copy !req
239. Huh?
You've got to let me handle this.
Copy !req
240. It's Roark!
Copy !req
241. Top!
Copy !req
242. Cranidos will help us.
Copy !req
243. We want to help you out too!
Copy !req
244. OK, I'll distract him while you look
for an opening,
Copy !req
245. and then you take them both down.
Copy !req
246. Got it! Sudo!
Copy !req
247. Cranidos, Flame Thrower!
Copy !req
248. Cranidos!
Copy !req
249. OK, Pikachu! Go, Sudowoodo!
Copy !req
250. Pika! Sudowoodo!
Copy !req
251. Armaldo!
Copy !req
252. Sudowoodo!
Copy !req
253. Cranidos, Zen Headbutt!
Copy !req
254. Crani...
Copy !req
255. .. dos!
Copy !req
256. Yeah, that's it!
Copy !req
257. Crani...
Copy !req
258. .. dos!
Copy !req
259. THEY GASP, EVIL LAUGHTER
Copy !req
260. You can never get too much
of an old thing!
Copy !req
261. No way! The fossil restorer!
Copy !req
262. Listen, is that shocked twerps
I hear?
Copy !req
263. They're kvetching to me loud
and clear.
Copy !req
264. On the wind! Past the stars!
Copy !req
265. In your ear!
Copy !req
266. Bringing chaos
at a breakneck pace.
Copy !req
267. Dashing hope, putting fear
in its place.
Copy !req
268. A rose by any other name
is just as sweet.
Copy !req
269. When everything's worse,
our work is complete.
Copy !req
270. Jessie... .. and James.
Copy !req
271. Meowth - that's a name.
Copy !req
272. Putting the do-gooders in
there place.
Copy !req
273. We're Team Rocket.
Copy !req
274. In your face!
Copy !req
275. Wobbu! Mime, Mime!
Copy !req
276. So, you're behind this awful crime!
Copy !req
277. Return the machine and the Pokemon
at once.
Copy !req
278. Like that's ever going to happen!
Copy !req
279. We've got a lot of restoring to do.
Copy !req
280. And we're going to make an army
Copy !req
281. of the baddest bunch of
ancient bullies you ever saw.
Copy !req
282. No, you're not! Ready, Pikachu?
Copy !req
283. Pikachu!
Copy !req
284. Ash, wait. Huh?
Copy !req
285. We've got to be careful
how we do this.
Copy !req
286. If not, Armaldo, Kabutops
and the fossil restorer
Copy !req
287. could be badly damaged.
Copy !req
288. Sound logic. So do what twerps do
best, which is zip!
Copy !req
289. While we make a museum run
for more old guys.
Copy !req
290. Huh?
Copy !req
291. Oh! Whoa!
Copy !req
292. Hurry! Yes, sir.
Copy !req
293. Armaldo, return. Kabutops.
Copy !req
294. Maldo!
Copy !req
295. Crani.
Copy !req
296. Whoa, that's Giga
Impact! Giga Impact?
Copy !req
297. Cranidos, intercept it!
Copy !req
298. Crani...
Copy !req
299. .. dos!
Copy !req
300. Look at the way Cranidos
is getting pushed!
Copy !req
301. That Aerodactyl's strong!
Copy !req
302. Crani... dos!
Copy !req
303. Oh!
Copy !req
304. Look out!
Copy !req
305. Ash, no!
Copy !req
306. Huh?
Copy !req
307. Hey, Ash, are you OK?
Copy !req
308. It's Dawn! Pika! Buneary!
Copy !req
309. We'll take care of this now!
Copy !req
310. Giga Impact again? No problem.
Copy !req
311. Watch this! Huh? Huh?
Copy !req
312. Piplup, Buneary, let's go!
Copy !req
313. Buneary!
Copy !req
314. Not yet. Just a little more time.
Copy !req
315. OK, do it now!
Copy !req
316. Pip... Piplup! Buneary!
Copy !req
317. What the...?
Copy !req
318. Awesome! Pika!
Copy !req
319. Buneary!
Copy !req
320. That's great.
Copy !req
321. We've got to learn those moves!
Copy !req
322. Piplup, Pip! Buneary!
Copy !req
323. Pip! Buneary!
Copy !req
324. Now on its back!
Copy !req
325. Buneary! Buneary! Pip...
Copy !req
326. .. lup! Buneary!
Copy !req
327. Wow, it worked! Excellent!
Go, Poke Ball, now!
Copy !req
328. Buneary! Pip!
Copy !req
329. Buneary! Piplup, Pip!
Copy !req
330. Thank you. We're all safe now.
Thank you.
Copy !req
331. You're welcome.
Copy !req
332. Oh, yes, them.
Copy !req
333. Now let's grab Aerodactyl
and vacate the premises.
Copy !req
334. The old Pokemon
have been destroyed!
Copy !req
335. Tough luck, losers.
Copy !req
336. Now we'd like our machine,
if you don't mind! Cranidos!
Copy !req
337. Don't mind?
The nerve of that guy!
Copy !req
338. We have no choice!
Copy !req
339. Run!
Copy !req
340. Stop! Cranidos, go!
Copy !req
341. Crani!
Copy !req
342. It's barrelling down!
Copy !req
343. Quick, Meowth, net that rock pile.
Copy !req
344. And lift off!
Copy !req
345. Crani... dos!
Copy !req
346. Cranidos! Pika! Oh, no!
Copy !req
347. People in glass houses
shouldn't throw stones.
Copy !req
348. We can! And we did! Crani... dos!
Copy !req
349. They're not going to make
fools out of us!
Copy !req
350. Are you going to let them win?
Copy !req
351. Cranidos!
Copy !req
352. Cranidos!
Copy !req
353. Rampar!
Copy !req
354. Cranidos evolved just now! Yes!
Copy !req
355. Let's go, Rampardos!
Copy !req
356. Ramparrrr!
Copy !req
357. Stop! Down, boy!
Copy !req
358. Ramparrrrr...
Copy !req
359. .. dos!
Copy !req
360. Great, Rampardos!
Finish with Zen Headbutt!
Copy !req
361. Ancient's overrated anyway.
Copy !req
362. No, it's not, and you will make us
one of those machines.
Copy !req
363. Sorry, but I never liked antiquing.
Copy !req
364. Wobbuffet!
Copy !req
365. We're blasting off
again!
Copy !req
366. PING!
Copy !req
367. Ramparrrr!
Copy !req
368. Amazing!
Copy !req
369. And so powerful!
Copy !req
370. Rampardos,
the Head Butt Pokemon
Copy !req
371. and the evolved form of Cranidos.
Copy !req
372. Its Headbutt attack is so powerful
that it can pulverise even
Copy !req
373. the sturdiest of objects
with one hit.
Copy !req
374. Thank you, Rampardos.
Copy !req
375. Thanks to you,
we have our machine back.
Copy !req
376. Rampar.
Copy !req
377. And to you. For your brave
assistance, I salute you.
Copy !req
378. Jenny, my darling!
Copy !req
379. I salute you for your amazing charm
and awesome beauty!
Copy !req
380. All I can... Oh...
Copy !req
381. Hey, Roark, can we please
have another battle tomorrow?
Copy !req
382. I'd love to go up
against your Rampardos.

383. Oh? Have you thought
of what strategy to use?
Copy !req
384. Yeah.
Copy !req
385. OK, then you can have the honour of
being Rampardo's premier opponent.
Copy !req
386. Rampar!
Copy !req

as well.
Copy !req
390. Thanks, that's great.
Copy !req

Copy !req
392. After all that, I know I'm going to

for the action!
