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