1. Ah, my greatest pleasure,
Copy !req
2. Aipom! Aipom!
Copy !req
3. Focus Punch for fabulous fireworks!
Copy !req
4. Aipom!
Copy !req
5. Huh?
Copy !req
6. Aipom!
Copy !req
7. Hey, Aipom, where are you going?
Copy !req
8. We're going to win
the next gym battle too.
Copy !req
9. Pikachu, Volt Tackle.
Copy !req
10. Pikachu!
Copy !req
11. Pika, Pika, Pika.
Copy !req
12. Man, Pikachu sure can run!
Copy !req
13. Aipom!
Copy !req
14. Aipom!
Copy !req
15. Don't start this again!
I want my hat.
Copy !req
16. Listen to this. This village is
going to have a festival,
Copy !req
17. and they're holding an informal
Pokemon Contest, too.
Copy !req
18. Don't you think I should
enter it, Brock?
Copy !req
19. I mean, Pachirisu hasn't had
a chance to be in one yet.
Copy !req
20. Sounds good to me.
Aipom, knock it off!
Copy !req
21. Huh?
Give me my hat.
Copy !req
22. Hey, you asked for it.
Copy !req
23. Ah, I guess some things
never change.
Copy !req
24. It's Aipom showing affection
for Ash whether he likes it or not.
Copy !req
25. As luck would have it,
an excited Dawn has just learned
Copy !req
26. that an unofficial Pokemon Contest
Copy !req
27. is scheduled to take place
in a small village
Copy !req
28. right on the way to Floaroma Town -
Copy !req
29. the perfect opportunity for
Copy !req
30. a little real-world experience
for her Pachirisu.
Copy !req
31. Do tell. A village festival
replete with a casual Contest.
Copy !req
32. And the winner gets a year's worth
of free fruit.
Copy !req
33. Now, that's a good year!
Copy !req
34. It's settled. Of course, I'll
need your Carnivine again.
Copy !req
35. I think mixing you two is like
mixing gasoline with a match.
Copy !req
36. Shocking to say,
but I think you're right.
Copy !req
37. All right, then.
Copy !req
38. Let's go and find
the perfect Pokemon for my style.
Copy !req
39. Pack your bag,
we're going to the moon.
Copy !req
40. Excuse me?
Copy !req
41. THEY GASP, AIPOM YELPING
Copy !req
42. Huh?
Copy !req
43. An Aipom.
Copy !req
44. No doubt it was no problem
getting up there,
Copy !req
45. but getting down is another story.
Copy !req
46. One wrong move and Aipom
could end up rendezvousing with
Copy !req
47. the bottom of that giant hole.
Copy !req
48. Look at those eyes!
Copy !req
49. Sheer poetry! They have given me
the strength of ten
Copy !req
50. because my heart has become pure.
Copy !req
51. Aipom, have no fear -
your rescue Jessie is here.
Copy !req
52. Jessie!
Copy !req
53. And one and two...
Copy !req
54. I see you. Steady now.
Copy !req
55. Oh, my, I think you cornered
the market on cutie.
Copy !req
56. Aipom!
Copy !req
57. Aw, now just grab my hands.
Copy !req
58. And done! Mm?
Copy !req
59. That Aipom can sure hightail it
when it wants to.
Copy !req
60. Pika!
Copy !req
61. Huh?
Copy !req
62. It's my hat!
Copy !req
63. But then, where's Aipom?
Copy !req
64. Aipom!
Huh?
Copy !req
65. Hey, Aipom!
Copy !req
66. Is it just me
or are we gaining momentum?
Copy !req
67. Just don't sneeze!
Copy !req
68. Oh, no, it's Team Rocket!
Copy !req
69. And Aipom!
Copy !req
70. It's OK!
Copy !req
71. Aipom, no!
Copy !req
72. Aipom!
Copy !req
73. THEY SCREAM, THEY GASP
Copy !req
74. Arghhh!
Copy !req
75. Aipom.
Copy !req
76. Jessie! Aipom, it's me!
Copy !req
77. Twerps? Team Rocket! You?
Copy !req
78. So this Aipom is a twerp Aipom?
Copy !req
79. It sure is.
Copy !req
80. But you guys actually
saved my Aipom?
Copy !req
81. Yes. You can close your mouth now.
Copy !req
82. Right. Well, then, thanks, you guys.
Copy !req
83. Look, twerp, if not for me,
Aipom might not be here.
Copy !req
84. I hardly think thanks is worth
Aipom's life.
Copy !req
85. Yeah? Well then, what do you want?
Copy !req
86. No, no, you're reading me
all wrong.
Copy !req
87. I don't want your money or any such
tawdry pittance. OK, so what, then?
Copy !req
88. Pika! There's a Pokemon Contest
up ahead
Copy !req
89. and I want to be in it
in the worst way.
Copy !req
90. But that's the one I'll be in.
So what?
Copy !req
91. So I want you to let me
use your Aipom
Copy !req
92. to compete within the Contest,
that's what!
Copy !req
93. Huh?
You've got to be kidding!
Copy !req
94. I have a sneaking suspicion that
this adorable Aipom
Copy !req
95. could be just the thing
the Contest doctor ordered.
Copy !req
96. Then, when you win it, we're going
to get a whole year
Copy !req
97. of being fruit-filled.
Copy !req
98. But put Aipom in Jessie's gloves and
we just may end up with the pits.
Copy !req
99. Yeah. Hmm?
Copy !req
100. I said, let's put on the Ritz.
Copy !req
101. I can't do that.
Copy !req
102. Aipom doesn't want to, anyway!
Aipom!
Copy !req
103. I hate to rain on your twerp parade,
Copy !req
104. but that sure ain't what
Aipom's saying.
Copy !req
105. If Aipom wants to team up with moi,
Copy !req
106. and what kind of trainer are you
to stand in the way?
Copy !req
107. I hear you,
but the idea of helping you...
Copy !req
108. Pika.
Copy !req
109. Let us not forget
who saved this little doll!
Copy !req
110. Let us not!
Copy !req
111. So enough of this tepid
twerp tete-a-tete. It's settled!
Copy !req
112. Hmm... Ash, the truth is, if Aipom
really wants to do it...
Copy !req
113. OK, but only for a little while,
Copy !req
114. just till the Contest Battle's over.
Copy !req
115. Isn't that wonderful, Aipy dear?
Copy !req
116. Aipa!
Copy !req
117. Awesome. All of these people here,
Copy !req
118. and this isn't even an official
Pokemon Contest!
Copy !req
119. All signed up.
Copy !req
120. Where's Ash? Over near the square.
Copy !req
121. He's worried about Aipom. Oh.
Copy !req
122. And keeping busy.
Copy !req
123. Hmm...
Copy !req
124. You and I will show them
a thing or two.
Copy !req
125. So, Ash,
how is their training going?
Copy !req
126. Hmm. Well,
with that little bit of training,
Copy !req
127. they're not going to get
much happening.
Copy !req
128. Now, Aipom, show me
some of those smooth moves.
Copy !req
129. Aipom!
Copy !req
130. Brilliant! What a Focus Punch! Ah!
Copy !req
131. Your Double Team is a double dream!
Copy !req
132. I guess when you're as good as
Aipom, you don't need to work hard.
Copy !req
133. Yeah, but I doubt Aipom will
give up all its moves to her.
Copy !req
134. Yeah, I guess you're right.
Copy !req
135. If memory serves, your Swift attack
is truly second to none,
Copy !req
136. so how about a peek?
Copy !req
137. Aipom!
Copy !req
138. It's heaven!
Copy !req
139. One sterling sample of that Swift
Copy !req
140. and we'll be certain to score
a Contest clean sweep.
Copy !req
141. Aw! Man, if Aipom acts like
that, they are going to win! Ah.
Copy !req
142. Pika.
Copy !req
143. Ash, you may be right.
Copy !req
144. Those two might be impossible
to beat.
Copy !req
145. And now for the main event in our
annual village festival pageant,
Copy !req
146. the Pokemon Contest!
Copy !req
147. Your judges for today
will be yours truly,
Copy !req
148. as well as Nurse Joy
from the Pokemon Centre.
Copy !req
149. Thanks so much.
Copy !req
150. Now, if this were an official
Pokemon Contest,
Copy !req
151. the winner would of course receive
a Contest Ribbon for their efforts,
Copy !req
152. but feast your eyes on our prize -
a year's supply of delicious fruit.
Copy !req
153. So let's turn our attention
to the first round
Copy !req
154. on the performance stage.
Copy !req
155. Coordinators who successfully
make their way through round one
Copy !req
156. move on to the exciting
Contest Battle.
Copy !req
157. And here's our first coordinator
now, Dawn.
Copy !req
158. Good luck, Dawn! Knock 'em dead!
Copy !req
159. Pika!
Copy !req
160. Here we go.
Copy !req
161. Now, Pachirisu, Spotlight!
Copy !req
162. Oh, my, what a lovely entry!
Copy !req
163. Shades of things to come, I'm sure.
Copy !req
164. OK, let's use Sweet Kiss.
Copy !req
165. Dear me, now what could be wrong?
Copy !req
166. It looks like a case of
stage fright to me.
Copy !req
167. Of course.
Copy !req
168. After all, this is Pachirisu's
first Contest.
Copy !req
169. Just take a deep breath.
You'll do fine! Pika.
Copy !req
170. They're right. Don't worry,
you'll be great.
Copy !req
171. OK, Pachirisu, Sweet Kiss, go!
Copy !req
172. I knew you could do it!
Copy !req
173. Spark!
Copy !req
174. It's like a beautiful electric
flower from a great Spark.
Copy !req
175. There we go. Looking good now.
Pikachu!
Copy !req
176. And now it's time for
our crackling big finish.
Copy !req
177. Discharge!
Copy !req
178. All right!
Copy !req
179. Now, that's an electrifying
performance.
Copy !req
180. Oh, yes, a real shocker!
Copy !req
181. You don't have to overdo it,
Pachirisu.
Copy !req
182. Dawn, you were great out there.
Huh? Really? Yeah.
Copy !req
183. Those Electric-type moves had
everyone loving you two. Well...
Copy !req
184. Hey, I think the rest of the field
is going to have a hard time
Copy !req
185. topping you.
Copy !req
186. Squirtle!
Copy !req
187. Hitmontop!
Copy !req
188. It looks like you've sailed
right through the first round.
Copy !req
189. And now for our final
first-round entrant, Jessie!
Copy !req
190. Huh?
Copy !req
191. I guess Aipom's up.
Copy !req
192. Pika.
Copy !req
193. Time for some Team Rocket romance
and razzle-dazzle!
Copy !req
194. Yes! You go, rocket girl!
Rock their socks off!
Copy !req
195. Ah, my greatest pleasure. Aipom!
Aipa.
Copy !req
196. Ah, my greatest pleasure, Aipom!
Aipa.
Copy !req
197. Now let's rev it up with Swift!
Copy !req
198. Focus Punch for fabulous fireworks!
Copy !req
199. Aipom!
Copy !req
200. Gorgeous! A beautiful showcase.
Copy !req
201. You know, those two
look just like old pros.
Copy !req
202. Keep the "old" to yourself
Copy !req
203. if you want to grow old.
Copy !req
204. Aw. Pika.
Copy !req
205. Aipom, dance your Double Team dance!
Copy !req
206. Aip...
Copy !req
207. A star shines in daylight,
Copy !req
208. now use Swift!
Copy !req
209. That was a magnificent dance.
With such creativity!
Copy !req
210. The old girl's really got it!
Copy !req
211. Man, are you asking for it.
Copy !req
212. My darling genius!
Copy !req
213. Oh, no! What's wrong, Ash?
Copy !req
214. Um... nothing, I'm OK.
Copy !req
215. Aipom sure looks happy.
Copy !req
216. What if Aipom leaves?
Copy !req
217. Aipom!
Copy !req
218. Aipom, don't go!
Copy !req
219. Ugh!
Copy !req
220. But, Aipom, why?
Copy !req
221. You don't look THAT OK to me.
Copy !req
222. Pikachu?
Copy !req
223. So, now the first Contest
round has come and gone
Copy !req
224. and we will now present
the two able coordinators
Copy !req
225. that will proceed
to the second round.
Copy !req
226. Our first step on the road to win.
Copy !req
227. Wow, I guess we really did
go overboard.
Copy !req
228. Now Jessie's first.
Copy !req
229. No surprise there.
Copy !req
230. All right, Dawn's our second
finalist.
Copy !req
231. Hey! We did it!
Copy !req
232. There you go. Pachirisu's gotten
a grip on things,
Copy !req
233. so this battle's going to be great.
Copy !req
234. Yeah, but that Aipom's sure
ticking me off.
Copy !req
235. Ash, know what I think?
Copy !req
236. I think you're upset because Aipom
and Jessie are doing so well.
Copy !req
237. Yeah, well you're wrong! Hmm.
Copy !req
238. Uh-oh! Agh!
Copy !req
239. Huh? Or I'm right.
Copy !req
240. Pika.
Copy !req
241. OK, ladies and gentlemen,
it is time for our second round.
Copy !req
242. Five minutes on the clock,
and let's begin!
Copy !req
243. Say, this should be as easy
as falling off a log.
Copy !req
244. OK, it's all yours.
Copy !req
245. Pachirisu, Spotlight!
Copy !req
246. OK, let's use Spark!
Copy !req
247. Aipom, Double Team, let's go!
Copy !req
248. Aip...
Copy !req
249. Now let's wow them with
our brand-new Team Rocket mega move!
Copy !req
250. What move was that?
Copy !req
251. What's wrong?
Copy !req
252. Amazing! While Dawn was trying to
figure out what to do,
Copy !req
253. she lost points.
Copy !req
254. That happens when you're faced with
beautiful moves like Aipom's using.
Copy !req
255. Now that's how battles are fought.
Copy !req
256. She's battling like
it's old hat.
Copy !req
257. She's beating the twerp
but you're next.
Copy !req
258. Hmm.
Copy !req
259. Admit it, twerpette, you're
outnumbered and outclassed.
Copy !req
260. No thanks to you!
Copy !req
261. Don't forget, Ash is the one who's
gotten Aipom so powerful!
Copy !req
262. I did?
Copy !req
263. Yeah, it's the truth, you know?
Copy !req
264. What do you know?
Copy !req
265. I have no idea
which is the real Aipom,
Copy !req
266. so just fire at them all.
Copy !req
267. Aipom, Swift, let's go.
Copy !req
268. A magnificent Swift!
Copy !req
269. Even more beautiful
than the last move.
Copy !req
270. Truly this is one of the best
Contest Battles ever!
Copy !req
271. Well, experience DOES pay off,
Copy !req
272. even if it's from getting creamed
time after time.
Copy !req
273. Of course, that being the case,
Copy !req
274. I've got tons more experience
than you.
Copy !req
275. Aipom, Focus Punch!
Copy !req
276. Aipom!
Copy !req
277. Yeah, that's it!
Copy !req
278. Pachirisu's unable to battle.
Copy !req
279. And even with plenty of time
Copy !req
280. left on the clock to spare,
Jessie is our Contest winner!
Copy !req
281. Hey, don't worry, Pachirisu.
Copy !req
282. That was great practice
for the Contest in Floaroma Town,
Copy !req
283. and that's what counts.
Copy !req
284. Pika-who?
Copy !req
285. My little Aipy totally rules!
Copy !req
286. Our girl's gotten her first victory.
Copy !req
287. Nothing old about that!
Copy !req
288. I sure hope this was a good idea.
Copy !req
289. Yeah.
Experience is always a good thing.
Copy !req
290. Look like you've had
a good time out there.
Copy !req
291. We sure did.
Copy !req
292. A splendid time had by all.
Copy !req
293. The kind of time
I could get very used to!
Copy !req
294. Huh? What in the world is that?
Copy !req
295. Thought you'd never ask.
Copy !req
296. Listen, I think my ride is here.
Copy !req
297. Wobba! Mime! Mime! Mime!
Copy !req
298. Harvest time.
Copy !req
299. Enough in that bunch
for a year-long lunch.
Copy !req
300. And wouldn't you know it,
it's lunchtime.
Copy !req
301. So let's eat!
Copy !req
302. And look!
They're too scared to chase us.
Copy !req
303. I guess those guys don't remember
Copy !req
304. that they didn't steal anything
this time.
Copy !req
305. As you remember,
old habits die hard.
Copy !req
306. They're so weird.
Copy !req
307. Huh? Hey, Aipom,
where are you going?
Copy !req
308. Aipy, dear!
Copy !req
309. Aipa!
Copy !req
310. Could it be? I think
my little Aipy wants to be
Copy !req
311. under new ownership.
Copy !req
312. So that's it.
Copy !req
313. I guess you want to be with them
more than you want to be with me.
Copy !req
314. Huh? Pika! Better look again.
Copy !req
315. Aipom appears to be in love with
all of Team Rocket's fruit. Huh?
Copy !req
316. It's cool to have a taste,
but you don't have to be
Copy !req
317. a Munchlax about it!
Copy !req
318. It wasn't bananas over you,
it was over the fruit!
Copy !req
319. Hey, Aipom, come back!
Copy !req
320. Argh! Uh!
Copy !req
321. You'd better get back here now!
Copy !req
322. Catch us that Aipom
and save our fruit!
Copy !req
323. Forsooth. Shoot!
Copy !req
324. Aipom, Focus Punch!
Copy !req
325. Aipom!
Copy !req
326. Hey, Aipom, come on, jump
and I'll catch you!
Copy !req
327. CHOMP, CHOMP!
Copy !req
328. That's it, right here!
Copy !req
329. I've got you! Ugh!
Copy !req
330. Waaaa!
Copy !req
331. Pika-pi.
Copy !req
332. Aipom. Pikachu.
Copy !req
333. Drat! Looks like we drop back
five yards and punt for Pikachu!
Copy !req
334. Will do!
Copy !req
335. Aipom, Swift, let's go.
Copy !req
336. Aipom!
Copy !req
337. We almost didn't have to
worry about food for a whole year!
Copy !req
338. When I win that Contest Ribbon,
we'll never worry about food again!
Copy !req
339. But eating Ribbons
always gives me gas!
Copy !req
340. We're blasting off again!
Copy !req
341. You sure caused us
a lot of trouble, Aipom.
Copy !req
342. You really ought to cool it.
Copy !req
343. Come on, all's well that ends well,
right, Ash?
Copy !req
344. I have this funny feeling Aipom
Copy !req
345. likes Contests
more than gym battles.
Copy !req
346. Nah, Aipom loves
battling in the gyms.
Copy !req
347. Go ahead and tell them, Aipom.
Copy !req
348. Although the village
festival Pokemon Contest
Copy !req
349. ended in defeat for Dawn,
she learned a great deal about
Copy !req
350. how important good training is
for any Pokemon.
Copy !req
351. But she also saw
yet another example
Copy !req
352. of just what a great trainer
Ash is as well -
Copy !req
353. not to mention our hero is the
perfect subject for Aipom's pranks.
Copy !req
