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. THEY GLUG AND SIGH CONTENTEDLY
Copy !req
100. Talk about being restored.
So to speak!
Copy !req
101. Stealing the fossil restorer's
going to restore our rep!
Copy !req
102. First we dig a hole,
now we're on a roll!
Copy !req
103. Whenever we hark back to doing what
we do best, the rest is history.
Copy !req
104. OK, let's fling fossils in
there till it's full.
Copy !req
105. It's like putting money in the bank!
Copy !req
106. We'll fill Sinnoh with ever
so many fabulous fossils,
Copy !req
107. it isn't even funny!
Copy !req
108. James, show us the first one.
Copy !req
109. Meowth has it.
Copy !req
110. You got the wrong guy! It's Jess.
Copy !req
111. Hold on! Finishing the fossil
was your job!
Copy !req
112. I was in charge of
machine maintenance!
Copy !req
113. I was in charge of hole maintenance!
Copy !req
114. The one in your head?
Copy !req
115. Wobbuffet!
Copy !req
116. You always mess up
my brilliant ideas!
Copy !req
117. The brilliant ideas come from me!
Copy !req
118. You wouldn't know one if it bit ya!
Copy !req
119. MACHINE STARTS
Copy !req
120. A pre-found fossil?
Copy !req
121. It appears to have been placed
in times past.
Copy !req
122. And it looks
like it's finished baking.
Copy !req
123. Then that means...!
Copy !req
124. THEY GIGGLE
Copy !req
125. All done! What's old is new!
Copy !req
126. It's a fossil coup!
Copy !req
127. AERODACTYL CALLS
Copy !req
128. Woohoo! It's an Aerodactyl Pokemon
for me and you!
Copy !req
129. Without further ado, go, Poke Ball!
Copy !req
130. Ah!
Copy !req
131. That must hurt!
Copy !req
132. You ingrate! Not every ancient
Pokemon gets into Team Rocket!
Copy !req
133. AERODACTYL GROWLS
Copy !req
134. AERODACTYL SHRIEKS
Copy !req
135. James, what is that?
Copy !req
136. Hold on, let me see.
Copy !req
137. I'm almost there...
Copy !req
138. Yes, here it is.
Copy !req
139. That move's been dubbed
Giga Impact.
Copy !req
140. Hey, catchy name!
Copy !req
141. Well, that name's our claim to fame.
Copy !req
142. No Aerodactyl's going to get me
to brush off!
Copy !req
143. AERODACTYL CALLS
Copy !req
144. Whoa!
Copy !req
145. It's winging its way to town.
Copy !req
146. Shall we? Let's.
Copy !req
147. Hey, hold the phone. Huh?
Copy !req
148. Before we head back into
that urban sprawl,
Copy !req
149. let's crank out a few fossils
to take along.
Copy !req
150. Say, it's long range!
And they said Meowth was strange.
Copy !req
151. So, first off, it's trying
to do a little Poke show prep.
Copy !req
152. Turtwig, Razor Leaf, now!
Copy !req
153. Turtwig, Turn!
Copy !req
154. Sudowoodo, use Double Edge!
Copy !req
155. Sudowoodo!
Copy !req
156. Tur! Sudo!
Copy !req
157. Twig!
Copy !req
158. Turn, Turtwig!
Copy !req
159. Turtwig's moves have gotten
a lot stronger,
Copy !req
160. but that's still not enough.
Copy !req
161. The rock type Pokemon at
the Oreburgh Gym
Copy !req
162. have tonnes of speed and power.
Copy !req
163. I've got to figure out
how to deal with that!
Copy !req
164. And just fighting back
with pure power,
Copy !req
165. that's not the answer either!
Copy !req
166. Hey, Ash. Huh?
Copy !req
167. Hey, how about a break?
Copy !req
168. The Pokemon are feeling
kind of wiped out.
Copy !req
169. Yeah, you're right.
Copy !req
170. You are working hard.
Copy !req
171. Huh?
Copy !req
172. Hey, Roark! Rock as far as the eye
can see.
Copy !req
173. It is a great way for you to get
ready for another battle in my gym.
Copy !req
174. And you can be sure we're working
super hard.
Copy !req
175. Just don't work too hard.
Copy !req
176. You simply figure out a strategy
that suits you
Copy !req
177. and your Pokemon as well.
Copy !req
178. Uh... OK.
Copy !req
179. But I was just thinking
about the way you fought Paul.
Copy !req
180. Hang on a sec. Huh?
Copy !req
181. This has been eating at me
since our last battle.
Copy !req
182. Just who is it you're trying
to beat, anyway?
Copy !req
183. Oh, that! Uh... Right.
Copy !req
184. It's understandable that you'd be
concerned about Paul,
Copy !req
185. but it's not Paul you're going to be
battling with.
Copy !req
186. It's me, right?
Copy !req
187. Yeah, I hear you. Good.
You'll be fine.
Copy !req
188. And I've got some serious
digging to do.
Copy !req
189. What, now?
Looking for fossils, right?
Copy !req
190. Right! I've always loved
ancient Pokemon.
Copy !req
191. Like that!
Copy !req
192. I found the Cranidos fossil
when I was just a kid,
Copy !req
193. and so I had to have it restored.
Copy !req
194. Huh? You restored it?
Yeah, we sure did!
Copy !req
195. What an amazing thing,
to restore Pokemon fossils!
Copy !req
196. Thing is, Cranidos was the first
Pokemon we used it on.
Copy !req
197. Awesome!
Amazing what science can do.
Copy !req
198. Yeah! But these fossils
are more amazing. Huh? Huh?
Copy !req
199. You see, Pokemon have been changing
in a process that's
Copy !req
200. been taking place for millions
of years to get to this point.
Copy !req
201. It's almost as if these fossils
have come back
Copy !req
202. to tell me
all about their ancient secrets.
Copy !req
203. Huh...
Copy !req
204. Yeah, fossils are as beautiful
as it gets.
Copy !req
205. Buneary! Chirp!
Copy !req
206. Wow! You were great. Buneary!
Copy !req
207. You nailed it perfectly.
Copy !req
208. Now, don't forget any of it.
One more time.
Copy !req
209. Buneary?
Copy !req
210. POKEMON SCREECHES
Copy !req
211. Whoa! What's that?
Copy !req
212. Look out!
Copy !req
213. Was that an Aerodactyl?
How could that be?
Copy !req
214. Aerodactyl,
the fossil Pokemon.
Copy !req
215. An ancient flying type, it is
equipped with sharp, saw-like teeth.
Copy !req
216. But how? It couldn't have escaped
from the museum, right?
Copy !req
217. Huh? The museum?
Copy !req
218. AERODACTYL SHRIEKS
Copy !req
219. You hear that sound?
Copy !req
220. Sure do. Aerodactyl's in a rage!
Aerodactyl?
Copy !req
221. Oh, no! It had to come
from the restored fossil!
Copy !req
222. It's coming here.
Copy !req
223. ALARM SOUNDS, HE GASPS
Copy !req
224. Kabutops and Armaldo
are heading out!
Copy !req
225. Let's go! OK.
Copy !req
226. Armaldo! Tops!
Copy !req
227. Huh?
Copy !req
228. AERODACTYL SCREECHES
Copy !req
229. In the Poke Balls! Right!
Copy !req
230. AERODACTYL SCREECHES
Copy !req
231. Armaldo! Tops!
Copy !req
232. Wait, Kabutops! Armaldo!
Copy !req
233. But... what happens next?
Copy !req
234. True beauty. There's nothing
more beautiful than these.
Copy !req
235. Roark! Huh? Huh?
Copy !req
236. Something terrible has happened.
What? Tell me!
Copy !req
237. The ancient Pokemon
are on a rampage!
Copy !req
238. Oreburgh citizens,
Aerodactyl, Kabutops and Armaldo
Copy !req
239. are scaring our citizens.
Copy !req
240. We're now formulating a plan
to capture all three of them
Copy !req
241. at the Oreburgh Mine.
Copy !req
242. But in the meantime, all citizens
must evacuate at once.
Copy !req
243. The Oreburgh Mine? That's where Ash
and the others are!
Copy !req
244. Maldo! Tops!
Copy !req
245. Not a moment too soon.
Copy !req
246. Hey, wait, we need to find
Aerodactyl.
Copy !req
247. The search helicopter's on it now,
Copy !req
248. but we need to deal with them.
Copy !req
249. You're right. Hold on.
Copy !req
250. Huh?
You've got to let me handle this.
Copy !req
251. It's Roark!
Copy !req
252. Top!
Copy !req
253. Cranidos will help us.
Copy !req
254. We want to help you out too!
Copy !req
255. OK, I'll distract him while you look
for an opening,
Copy !req
256. and then you take them both down.
Copy !req
257. Got it! Sudo!
Copy !req
258. Cranidos, Flame Thrower!
Copy !req
259. Cranidos!
Copy !req
260. POKEMON EXCLAIM
Copy !req
261. OK, Pikachu! Go, Sudowoodo!
Copy !req
262. Pika! Sudowoodo!
Copy !req
263. Armaldo!
Copy !req
264. Sudowoodo!
Copy !req
265. THEY EXCLAIM
Copy !req
266. Cranidos, Zen Headbutt!
Copy !req
267. Crani...
Copy !req
268. .. dos!
Copy !req
269. Yeah, that's it!
Copy !req
270. Crani...
Copy !req
271. .. dos!
Copy !req
272. THEY GASP, EVIL LAUGHTER
Copy !req
273. You can never get too much
of an old thing!
Copy !req
274. No way! The fossil restorer!
Copy !req
275. Listen, is that shocked twerps
I hear?
Copy !req
276. They're kvetching to me loud
and clear.
Copy !req
277. On the wind! Past the stars!
Copy !req
278. In your ear!
Copy !req
279. Bringing chaos
at a breakneck pace.
Copy !req
280. Dashing hope, putting fear
in its place.
Copy !req
281. A rose by any other name
is just as sweet.
Copy !req
282. When everything's worse,
our work is complete.
Copy !req
283. Jessie... .. and James.
Copy !req
284. Meowth - that's a name.
Copy !req
285. Putting the do-gooders in
there place.
Copy !req
286. We're Team Rocket.
Copy !req
287. In your face!
Copy !req
288. Wobbu! Mime, Mime!
Copy !req
289. So, you're behind this awful crime!
Copy !req
290. Return the machine and the Pokemon
at once.
Copy !req
291. Like that's ever going to happen!
Copy !req
292. We've got a lot of restoring to do.
Copy !req
293. And we're going to make an army
Copy !req
294. of the baddest bunch of
ancient bullies you ever saw.
Copy !req
295. No, you're not! Ready, Pikachu?
Copy !req
296. Pikachu!
Copy !req
297. Ash, wait. Huh?
Copy !req
298. We've got to be careful
how we do this.
Copy !req
299. If not, Armaldo, Kabutops
and the fossil restorer
Copy !req
300. could be badly damaged.
Copy !req
301. Sound logic. So do what twerps do
best, which is zip!
Copy !req
302. While we make a museum run
for more old guys.
Copy !req
303. AERODACTYL SCREECHES IN DISTANCE
Huh?
Copy !req
304. Oh! Whoa!
Copy !req
305. Hurry! Yes, sir.
Copy !req
306. Armaldo, return. Kabutops.
Copy !req
307. Maldo!
Copy !req
308. Crani.
Copy !req
309. AERODACTYL SNARLS
Copy !req
310. Whoa, that's Giga
Impact! Giga Impact?
Copy !req
311. Cranidos, intercept it!
Copy !req
312. Crani...
Copy !req
313. .. dos!
Copy !req
314. Look at the way Cranidos
is getting pushed!
Copy !req
315. That Aerodactyl's strong!
Copy !req
316. Crani... dos!
Copy !req
317. Oh!
Copy !req
318. Look out!
Copy !req
319. Ash, no!
Copy !req
320. Huh?
Copy !req
321. Hey, Ash, are you OK?
Copy !req
322. It's Dawn! Pika! Buneary!
Copy !req
323. We'll take care of this now!
Copy !req
324. Giga Impact again? No problem.
Copy !req
325. Watch this! Huh? Huh?
Copy !req
326. Piplup, Buneary, let's go!
Copy !req
327. Buneary!
Copy !req
328. Not yet. Just a little more time.
Copy !req
329. AERODACTYL SCREECHES
Copy !req
330. OK, do it now!
Copy !req
331. Pip... Piplup! Buneary!
Copy !req
332. What the...?
Copy !req
333. Awesome! Pika!
Copy !req
334. Buneary!
Copy !req
335. That's great.
Copy !req
336. We've got to learn those moves!
Copy !req
337. Piplup, Pip! Buneary!
Copy !req
338. Pip! Buneary!
Copy !req
339. Now on its back!
Copy !req
340. Buneary! Buneary! Pip...
Copy !req
341. .. lup! Buneary!
Copy !req
342. Wow, it worked! Excellent!
Go, Poke Ball, now!
Copy !req
343. Buneary! Pip!
Copy !req
344. POKE BALL BEEPS
Copy !req
345. Buneary! Piplup, Pip!
Copy !req
346. Thank you. We're all safe now.
Thank you.
Copy !req
347. You're welcome.
Copy !req
348. Oh, yes, them.
Copy !req
349. THEY STRAIN
Copy !req
350. Now let's grab Aerodactyl
and vacate the premises.
Copy !req
351. The old Pokemon
have been destroyed!
Copy !req
352. Tough luck, losers.
Copy !req
353. Now we'd like our machine,
if you don't mind! Cranidos!
Copy !req
354. Don't mind?
The nerve of that guy!
Copy !req
355. We have no choice!
Copy !req
356. Run!
Copy !req
357. Stop! Cranidos, go!
Copy !req
358. Crani!
Copy !req
359. It's barrelling down!
Copy !req
360. Quick, Meowth, net that rock pile.
Copy !req
361. And lift off!
Copy !req
362. Crani... dos!
Copy !req
363. Cranidos! Pika! Oh, no!
Copy !req
364. People in glass houses
shouldn't throw stones.
Copy !req
365. We can! And we did! Crani... dos!
Copy !req
366. They're not going to make
fools out of us!
Copy !req
367. Are you going to let them win?
Copy !req
368. Cranidos!
Copy !req
369. Cranidos!
Copy !req
370. Rampar!
Copy !req
371. Cranidos evolved just now! Yes!
Copy !req
372. Let's go, Rampardos!
Copy !req
373. Ramparrrr!
Copy !req
374. THEY QUIVER
Copy !req
375. Stop! Down, boy!
Copy !req
376. Ramparrrrr...
Copy !req
377. .. dos!
Copy !req
378. Great, Rampardos!
Finish with Zen Headbutt!
Copy !req
379. Ancient's overrated anyway.
Copy !req
380. No, it's not, and you will make us
one of those machines.
Copy !req
381. Sorry, but I never liked antiquing.
Copy !req
382. Wobbuffet!
Copy !req
383. We're blasting off
again!
Copy !req
384. PING!
Copy !req
385. Ramparrrr!
Copy !req
386. Amazing!
Copy !req
387. And so powerful!
Copy !req
388. Rampardos,
the Head Butt Pokemon
Copy !req
389. and the evolved form of Cranidos.
Copy !req
390. Its Headbutt attack is so powerful
that it can pulverise even
Copy !req
391. the sturdiest of objects
with one hit.
Copy !req
392. Thank you, Rampardos.
Copy !req
393. Thanks to you,
we have our machine back.
Copy !req
394. Rampar.
Copy !req
395. And to you. For your brave
assistance, I salute you.
Copy !req
396. Jenny, my darling!
Copy !req
397. I salute you for your amazing charm
and awesome beauty!
Copy !req
398. All I can... Oh...
Copy !req
399. CROAGUNK CROAKS
Copy !req
400. Hey, Roark, can we please
have another battle tomorrow?
Copy !req
401. I'd love to go up
against your Rampardos.
Copy !req
402. Oh? Have you thought
of what strategy to use?
Copy !req
403. Yeah.
Copy !req
404. OK, then you can have the honour of
being Rampardo's premier opponent.
Copy !req
405. Rampar!
Copy !req
406. Really?
Whoa, thanks! Pika, Pika!
Copy !req
407. Dawn, do you think you can help me
train a little bit?
Copy !req
408. Sure! It'll be good training for me
as well.
Copy !req
409. Thanks, that's great.
Copy !req
410. You know what?
Copy !req
411. After all that, I know I'm going to
get that badge. Pikachu!
Copy !req
412. All right!
You just give it all you've got.
Copy !req
413. And so a fierce battle with an
Aerodactyl provides our hero
Copy !req
414. with a clue - a clue which
undoubtedly helped formulate
Copy !req
415. the battle strategy Ash
so confidently alluded to
Copy !req
416. while Roark and Rampardos await,
promising to be a challenge
Copy !req
417. that Ash or none of us,
for that matter, will soon forget.
Copy !req
418. You've got to stay tuned
for the action!
