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