22. Want a Feebas?Copy !req
23. What we WANT is our money back!Copy !req

25. Or more!Copy !req
26. Say, I know you!Copy !req
27. I just LOVE dealing
with repeat customers!Copy !req
28. And are you in luck!Copy !req
29. How would you like to get
in on the ground floorCopy !req
30. of the next big thing?Copy !req
31. What might that be? Take a look!Copy !req
32. Cardboard?Copy !req
33. It's what's INSIDE this
cardboard -Copy !req
34. the Poke Evolution Machine 1!Copy !req
35. A Pokemon Evolution Machine?Copy !req
36. Are you pulling our proverbial legs?Copy !req
37. No peeking! This is the result of
years of top secret work.Copy !req
38. Do you realise the power of having
a billion dollar corporationCopy !req
39. backing you up? Mm-hm.Copy !req
40. Hundreds of famous Pokemon
scientists have been doingCopy !req
41. ground-breaking research,
and this is the end result.Copy !req
42. The cuttingest of cutting-edge
technology now brings YOUCopy !req
43. the contents of this cardboard case!Copy !req
44. Grr!Copy !req
45. The wave of the evolutionary future!Copy !req
46. Yes, the Poke Evolution Machine 1
was completed, but alas...Copy !req
47. .. the company was forced
into bankruptcy,Copy !req
48. but I gave the workers the rights
to build these miracle machinesCopy !req
49. and they in turn gave me everything
I needed to build one for myself.Copy !req
50. And that's just what we have
in here!Copy !req
51. The gift from a grateful workforce
to me, their saviour.Copy !req
52. Of course, it comes with the case
candy, and what they callCopy !req
53. in the evolution business
the brain of the miracle machine.Copy !req
54. But how easy can it be
to make one of those things?Copy !req
55. If you can read simple directions,
and do everything they tell you to,Copy !req
56. even an Aipom can build it!Copy !req
57. Think, people, think!Copy !req
58. With this baby, you can cause
any Pokemon to evolveCopy !req
59. wherever you want,
and whenever you want, guaranteed,Copy !req
60. or your money back.Copy !req
61. My money back?Copy !req
62. That's honesty!Copy !req
63. What would you expect to pay
for the instruction manualCopy !req
64. and brain, handsomely bound in this
rubber band? More than you think!Copy !req
65. Wow! This is like one of those
science kits I had as a child!Copy !req
66. And, after our previous transaction,
I'll sell it to you wholesale.Copy !req
67. I'll take it! And sold!Copy !req
68. A pleasure doing business!Copy !req
69. You don't know the half of it!Copy !req
70. Uh-oh, I forgot,Copy !req
71. there's one tiny little detail!Copy !req
72. Don't use the machine until
a week after you've built it.Copy !req
73. A whole week? Machines like that
need time to warm up.Copy !req
74. Right. Right!Copy !req
75. Yahoo!Copy !req
76. We've got our diversion!
And a way to make a big fat buck!Copy !req
77. What luck!Copy !req
78. As our heroes continue to make their
way towards the Eterna City gym,Copy !req
79. the gym's location has brought them
back through Jubilife City.Copy !req
80. Excuse me! We're from
Jubilife's Sinnoh Today Show,Copy !req
81. and want to know if you used
anything mechanicalCopy !req
82. to evolve that Pikachu of yours.Copy !req
83. I wouldn't do that.Copy !req
84. So, then you must be from
the B-Button League, right?Copy !req
85. Huh?
What's the B-Button League anyway?Copy !req
86. You've never heard of the League?Copy !req
87. It's a group of coordinators
in Jubilife City that competeCopy !req
88. for the top coordinator spot
without evolving their Pokemon.Copy !req
89. Without evolving?Copy !req
90. You really HAVEN'T heard of them.Copy !req
91. Their leaders are well known
for having the strongest MagikarpCopy !req
92. and the loveliest Feebas.Copy !req
93. Wow! The strongest Magikarp, huh?Copy !req
94. Sounds awesome!Copy !req
95. I'd love to see!Copy !req
96. Pika!Copy !req
97. Do you think you could tell us
where we can find the Button League?Copy !req
98. This is it.Copy !req
99. Anyone here?Copy !req
100. Hi!Copy !req
101. And welcome.Copy !req
102. So is this the B-Button League
headquarters?Copy !req
103. It sure is.
Would you like to join?Copy !req
104. Oh, yeah! Actually, first,Copy !req
105. we'd like to see what you guys
do here.Copy !req
106. No problem. My name's Haley,
and I'm the B-Button League leader.Copy !req
107. I'm her sister, Oralie.Copy !req
108. I'm Ash.Copy !req
109. Pikachu! I'm Dawn.Copy !req
110. And I'm Brock.Copy !req
111. I know what the B stands for.
With your looks, sweetheart,Copy !req
112. and yours, the only B-word I can
think of that's worthy of you twoCopy !req
113. is Beauty!Copy !req
114. Just imagine spending every day
together, hand in hand...Copy !req
115. ..er, working tirelessly
for the B-Button LeagueCopy !req
116. and standing tall... Argh!Copy !req
117. .. or standing small!Copy !req
118. Oh!Copy !req
119. I heard the B-Button League
had the strongest Magikarp.Copy !req
120. And the loveliest Feebas, too!Copy !req
121. Have a look.Copy !req
122. This is my Magikarp.Copy !req
123. And this is my Feebas.Copy !req
124. Wow, they weren't kidding!Copy !req
125. Those two are awesome!Copy !req
126. "Magikarp -
the fish Pokemon.Copy !req
127. "Magikarp can live
in the dirtiest of water.Copy !req
128. "It jumps very well,
and can evolve into Gyarados.Copy !req
129. "Feebas - the fish Pokemon.Copy !req
130. "Although extremely valued,Copy !req
131. "it is a tough Pokemon that can live
in almost any kind of water.Copy !req
132. "Its evolved form is Milotic".Copy !req
133. The B-Button League believes
there's more to a PokemonCopy !req
134. than just evolving.Copy !req
135. I completely agree with that, 100%.Copy !req
136. So without evolving them, members
of the B-Button League concentrateCopy !req
137. on strengthening their Pokemon.Copy !req
138. And beautifying them.Copy !req
139. I think it's kind of a neat idea.Copy !req
140. Of course, when a Pokemon evolves,
it naturally becomes strongerCopy !req
141. and learns new moves.Copy !req
142. The thing is, I love Magikarp.Copy !req
143. And I love my Feebas.Copy !req
144. I don't want my Magikarp to change.Copy !req
145. We want to teach our
Pokemon beautiful new movesCopy !req
146. without evolving.Copy !req
147. Yeah, I want Pikachu to get
stronger and not change.Copy !req
148. Pika!Copy !req
149. Well, if that's the case, the
B-Button League was MADE for you.Copy !req
150. Well, I guess evolution DOES
have its good AND bad points.Copy !req
151. The world of Pokemon is pretty
complex.Copy !req
152. Sure is.Copy !req
153. Weird. It looks like
a normal Magikarp to me.Copy !req
154. You can't judge a Pokemon
by its cover.Copy !req
155. Hey, it'd be awesome if you'd have
a battle with me and my Pikachu.Copy !req
156. Huh? I'd really like to check out
your Magikarp.Copy !req
157. Of course! Hey, hold on! Huh?Copy !req
158. I'd love it if you'd go
and give Piplup a shot. Huh?Copy !req
159. Yeah! You see, I've wanted to check
out how Piplup battles in the waterCopy !req
160. for such a long time.Copy !req
161. Hey, I'd like to see Piplup
in water, too,Copy !req
162. but against that Magikarp,
I'm not sure.Copy !req
163. Well, I'm sure and that's that!Copy !req
164. Now, Piplup, let's g-o-o-o-o!Copy !req
165. Hold it right there!Copy !req
166. Huh?Copy !req
167. Thanks for holding!Copy !req
168. May we help you?Copy !req
169. Who are you people?Copy !req
170. Voila! We decided to take
the B-Button LeagueCopy !req
171. a Sinnoh step further,
and organise the C-Button League!Copy !req
172. How nice(!) Aren't we?
Not only nice, but perceptive,Copy !req
173. like knowing the B in your name
stands for Victory. Huh?Copy !req
174. Have you forgotten
victory is spelled with a V?Copy !req
175. So it does. Perhaps the B stands
for Bulbasaur, or blackmail,Copy !req
176. or big blabbermouth...
.. or beautiful? Bingo!Copy !req
177. So you're the leaders of
the Beautiful Button League, right?Copy !req
178. Why, yes, that's right!Copy !req
179. So what does the C in C-Button
stand for?Copy !req
180. Oh!Copy !req
181. I hate being put on the spot!Copy !req
182. C-side Slackers! No, she sells
seashells by the sea, by the sea,Copy !req
183. by the Seashore League!Copy !req
184. Quit while you're ahead!Copy !req
185. C is for Crystal! Crystal Button!Copy !req
186. Wow!Copy !req
187. Mm, we'd really like to do
an expose on you B-Buttoners,Copy !req
188. so if you wouldn't mind,
we're here to dig deep,Copy !req
189. and do a little research.Copy !req
190. I'd like to take some pics.
Is that cool?Copy !req
191. Of course! We were just
about to begin a battleCopy !req
192. between Dawn's Piplup and the
world's most powerful Magikarp.Copy !req
193. Hey! Sounds like a party to me!Copy !req
194. Hey, Piplup, go!Copy !req
195. Piplup!Copy !req
196. Now, Magikarp, are you ready?Copy !req
197. Karp, karp, karp,
karp, karp, karp, karp!Copy !req
198. Do it, Dawn! Good luck!Copy !req
199. Pika, pika!Copy !req
200. We'll sit tight and bide our time...Copy !req
201. .. then we pluck Pikachu and
give our Pokemon Evolution MachineCopy !req
202. a spin.Copy !req
203. That yellow yahoo won't know
what hit it!Copy !req
204. Now, Piplup,
let's start it out with Peck!Copy !req
205. P-I-I-I-I-p-l-u-u-u-u-p!Copy !req
206. Magikarp.Copy !req
207. Karp, karp, karp.Copy !req
208. Karp, karp.Copy !req
209. Wow! Piplup's fast in the water,
too!Copy !req
210. All right! Pika!Copy !req
211. Do it!Copy !req
212. Magikarp, dodge it!Copy !req
213. Karp, karp!Copy !req
214. Oh, man!Copy !req
215. Whoa, that was a powerful jump.Copy !req
216. Piplup, Bubble Beam!Copy !req
217. Piplup-lup-lup!Copy !req
218. Dodge it, Magikarp! Karp, karp!Copy !req
219. Tackle, now! Magikarp, karp!Copy !req
220. Karp, karp, karp, karp.Copy !req
221. Piplup!Copy !req
222. Piplup! Piplup! Piplup! Piplup!Copy !req
223. No! You OK?Copy !req
224. Pip... lup...Copy !req
225. That tackle of Magikarp's
was just too strong.Copy !req
226. Guess it really IS the strongest.Copy !req
227. That Magikarp's got moxie to spare.Copy !req
228. True - what style. What flair!Copy !req
229. Now, I want a crack at that.
Pikachu, what do you say?Copy !req
230. Pikachu!Copy !req
231. OK, Ash, whenever you're ready.Copy !req
232. Well, powerful or not, Magikarp has
to be weak against electric attacks.Copy !req
233. Probably. OK, Pikachu,
Thunderbolt - go!Copy !req
234. Pikachu!Copy !req
235. Magikarp, dodge it, now!Copy !req
236. Karp, karp, karp!Copy !req
237. A quadruple somersault flip!
Talk about a gold-medal move.Copy !req
238. That Pokemon's probably got
a pool full of gold medals.Copy !req
239. Use Tackle, Magikarp!Copy !req
240. Karp, karp... Pikachu, dodge it!Copy !req
241. Karp, karp, karp!Copy !req
242. Pika!Copy !req
243. You OK, Pikachu?Copy !req
244. Pikachu!Copy !req
245. James? A Magikarp evolves
into a Gyarados, right? Right.Copy !req
246. Well, think of the giga-Gyarados
this Magikarp would be!Copy !req
247. That baby would strike
sheer fear far and near.Copy !req
248. What do you think of whipping
out our Poke Evolution Machine 1Copy !req
249. and using it on Magikarp
for a test run?Copy !req
250. Sounds like fun!Copy !req
251. Driving around the block
before we blast Pikachu.Copy !req
252. Yeah, kick the tyres.Copy !req
253. Pikachu! Use Quick Attack!Copy !req
254. Pika!Copy !req
255. Now, Magikarp - Tackle, again!Copy !req
256. Karp, karp, karp, karp, karp!Copy !req
257. Pikachu! Iron Tail!Copy !req
258. Pika!Copy !req
259. Pika! Karp!Copy !req
260. Oh, no! Pikachu! You OK, Magikarp?Copy !req
261. Magikarp...Copy !req
262. They both look exhausted. Whoa.Copy !req
263. Man. Oralie's Magikarp
is one tough Pokemon.Copy !req
264. Brock, when you
said you weren't sureCopy !req
265. whose attacks would
be the strongest,Copy !req
266. you were right!Copy !req
267. Brock? My dear,
your Magikarp is beyond words!Copy !req
268. But still, I must be completely
honest and confessCopy !req
269. that it's your beauty that
gives me a jolt the likesCopy !req
270. of which I've never felt..Copy !req
271. .. almost.Copy !req
272. Attention, please. We've decided
in our infinite wisdomCopy !req
273. to put your Magikarp
on our expose's front page.Copy !req
274. D-Button members will be thrilled!
C-Button! Oops.Copy !req
275. In the midst of my effervescent
excitement, I've gotten one letterCopy !req
276. ahead of myself.
So... we'll just set up our shot.Copy !req
277. We won't be a second. Sure.Copy !req
278. I really wanted you to see
my Feebas in action, too.Copy !req
279. Well, after seeing that Magikarp...Copy !req
280. I'm sure your Feebas
is just as awesome.Copy !req
281. But first, how does
a little lunch sound?Copy !req
282. Right!
We're ready when you are.Copy !req
283. Perfect. And the C-Button League?Copy !req
284. Oh, dear!Copy !req
285. That's our Pokemon!Copy !req
286. What are you doing?Copy !req
287. Now, is that a twerp
voice that I hear?Copy !req
288. That lass was loud and clearCopy !req
289. On the wind
The starsCopy !req
290. In your ear!Copy !req
291. Bringing chaos at a breakneck paceCopy !req
292. Dashing hope,
putting fear in its placeCopy !req
293. A rose by any other name's
just as sweetCopy !req
294. When everything's worse,
then our work is completeCopy !req
295. JesseCopy !req
296. And JamesCopy !req
297. Meowth - now that's a nameCopy !req
298. Putting the do-gooders
in their placeCopy !req
299. We're Team RocketCopy !req
300. And we're in your face!Copy !req
301. Huh? Now it's the R-Button?Copy !req
302. Please! R's for Team Rocket -
get with it.Copy !req
303. And we'll make better use of your
Pokemon than you yo-yos could.Copy !req
304. They don't belong to you.Copy !req
305. I want Magikarp back now!Copy !req
306. I want Feebas, too! I'll get your
Pokemon back for you twoCopy !req
307. if I have to use every ounce of
strength I possess...Copy !req
308. .. which isn't much.Copy !req
309. You're usually right, but this time
you might have gone a bit too far.Copy !req
310. Croagunk, cro-oh-oh.Copy !req
311. Run!Copy !req
312. Come back here, you thieves!Copy !req
313. Ahhh!Copy !req
314. You won't get away with this!Copy !req
315. OK, Staravia, you go and get 'em!Copy !req
316. Staravia!Copy !req
317. Staravia!Copy !req
318. Team Rocket's balloon couldn't
have gotten very far.Copy !req
319. Staravia! It's Staravia!Copy !req
320. Star! Star! Star! Staravia!Copy !req
321. Let's go! Pika!Copy !req
322. Staravia! They're in there!Copy !req
323. All right, Team Rocket...Copy !req
324. Huh?Copy !req
325. You're just in time to witness
something totally evolutionary.Copy !req
326. Presenting our Power Pack
Poke Evolution Machine 1.Copy !req
327. And guess what? The batteries
are included, and we're smokin'.Copy !req
328. Feebas? What are you planning on
doing to my Magikarp?Copy !req
329. With this sweet baby
forcing your babies to evolve,Copy !req
330. we're simply making them
an offer they can't refuse.Copy !req
331. You can't do that!
Stop it! All right.Copy !req
332. You give both Feebas and Magikarp
back to them or else!Copy !req
333. An ultimatum?Copy !req
334. You twerpazoids are clueless.Copy !req
335. Don't you realise these top-shelf
Pokemon would be a lot topper-shelfCopy !req
336. if they evolved into
Gyarados and Milotic?Copy !req
337. Course you don't.Copy !req
338. You can't... All our work making
them strong without them evolvingCopy !req
339. will have been a complete waste.Copy !req
340. We like our Pokemon exactly
the way they are right now.Copy !req
341. Hee-hee! Which is exactly why
we just love doing what we do.Copy !req
342. It's evolution time!Copy !req
343. Rock and roll!
Pikachu, Thunderbolt, now!Copy !req
344. Pika-chuuuuu! Pikachu!Copy !req
345. Pika? We figured some insulation
was a good investment. Hee-hee!Copy !req
346. Of course, that's history when we
evolve Pikachu...Copy !req
347. ..so stay tuned!Copy !req
348. Why, you...!Copy !req
349. Ha-ha-ha-ha! Now that you're a
captive audience,Copy !req
350. why not sit back, relax,Copy !req
351. and watch our machine make
some of its mojo magic?Copy !req
352. The future is here now.
Here comes Gyarados, and how!Copy !req
353. Please stop! Please, no!Copy !req
354. Karp! Karp! Karp! Karp!Copy !req
355. Now... Gyarados!Copy !req
356. Huh? Huh?Copy !req
357. Strange. I've been reading
schematics for years.Copy !req
358. I think you're supposed to know how
to read words first.Copy !req
359. Wait, once more.Copy !req
360. Magikarp, no! Now... Gyarados!Copy !req
361. Huh? Huh?Copy !req
362. Huh? Very strange.Copy !req
363. It's not out of the question
that the batteriesCopy !req
364. they included
sat in the box for too long.Copy !req
365. But, wait, we could
employ our imprisoned Pika power.Copy !req
366. And then we'll simply
switch things aroundCopy !req
367. and ratchet our Raichu on a first.Copy !req
368. No, you don't!Copy !req
369. You're about to experience
first-hand how change isCopy !req
370. good for the soul. It's the old
Pikachu to Raichu switch-a-roo!Copy !req
371. Hey, we're cooking now. Pikachu, no!
By popular demand, it's Raichu.Copy !req
372. Pika? Huh? Huh? Pikachu, you're OK.Copy !req
373. OK, what's your excuse this time?Copy !req
374. Yikes, I think I just found a
disclaimer here. "Device may takeCopy !req
375. "up to one week to achieve
complete evolution.Copy !req
376. "Early use may result
in total failure"!Copy !req
377. You're a total failure!
If I wasn't...Copy !req
378. Hold on, they said there may be
total failure, right?Copy !req
379. You've got to admire a company
with such honesty.Copy !req
380. OK, then, why don't you become
a stockholder? Pikachu, Iron Tail!Copy !req
381. It's over, guys. Give it up.Copy !req
382. Not so fast. Oh! Listen to this,
twerpies.Copy !req
383. "This unit also doubles as
a mechabot." Mechabot?Copy !req
384. Wow, that is cutting edge.
One click on the old remote, whee!Copy !req
385. It's true!Copy !req
386. We've got a mechabot!
We got a mechabot!Copy !req
387. Forget evolution. With this baby
we can cause a revolution. Hm?Copy !req
388. Read the rest.Copy !req
389. "Unit only achieves mechabot status
after successful evolution."Copy !req
390. Thanks for the warning!
You know what?Copy !req
391. I think we got ripped off again.Copy !req
392. I think it's time for my Magikarp to
teach you three a lesson.Copy !req
393. And you'll never want to hear the
word "evolve"Copy !req
394. when my Feebas finishes with you.Copy !req
395. Magikarp, Tackle!Copy !req
396. Karp! Karp! Magikarp!Copy !req
397. Feebas, use Ice Beam.Copy !req
398. Pikachu, Thunderbolt! Let's go!Copy !req
399. When it comes to impulse buying,
we've got a problem.Copy !req
400. As soon as we land,
I'm cutting up my credit cards.Copy !req
401. But the unbridled joy of building
that kit made meCopy !req
402. feel just like a little kid!Copy !req
403. Oh, yeah, like that's a big stretch.Copy !req
404. We're blasting off again!Copy !req
