1. Scissor Street? Why'd we come here?
You'll see.
Copy !req
2. Sure are a lot of Pokémon
beauty parlors.
Copy !req
3. Ash and his friends
take a walk along Scissor Street.
Copy !req
4. Why have they come here?
Only Brock knows the answer.
Copy !req
5. - Hm.
- Is there any place special
Copy !req
6. you want to visit, Brock?
Copy !req
7. - Hm.
- Wait a minute. I just remembered
Copy !req
8. that Scissor Street
is also called Breeder's Lane.
Copy !req
9. - Where is it?
- So that's why we're here.
Copy !req
10. Brock's always got to see
the latest breeder gear.
Copy !req
11. Brock dreams
of becoming a Pokémon breeder,
Copy !req
12. a person who devotes his time and energy,
learning how to raise the best Pokémon.
Copy !req
13. Pokémon Fashion Flash
Copy !req
14. Some of the best breeders
have shops here.
Copy !req
15. There are lots of terrific makeup places
and fashion salons, too, just for Pokémon.
Copy !req
16. Hey! Oh, look. This must be
the newest fashion.
Copy !req
17. - How cute!
- You think that's cute, huh?
Copy !req
18. Come on. We've got to go in.
Copy !req
19. - Whoa! I don't want to go in there.
- Hm.
Copy !req
20. You won't believe how beautiful
a Pokémon can be.
Copy !req
21. Step in and see for yourself.
Copy !req
22. Let us dazzle you with the latest fashions
by the expert artists of Salon Rocket.
Copy !req
23. - Did he just say Salon Rocket?
- Why does that name sound so familiar?
Copy !req
24. Whoa, is that supposed to be
a Pokémon or a Christmas tree?
Copy !req
25. Bring your drab old Pokémon
to Salon Rocket
Copy !req
26. for our complete Pokémon makeover,
including jewelry.
Copy !req
27. And hairstyling.
Copy !req
28. We'll make your Pokémon
a pretty-mon. Ta-da!
Copy !req
29. We've done it again,
another Pokémon fashion masterpiece.
Copy !req
30. I can't believe how talented we are.
Copy !req
31. Your Pokémon have gone from frumpy
to flashy, thanks to Salon Rocket.
Copy !req
32. - Oh! How precious.
- What?
Copy !req
33. 120, 130, 140, 150, 160
Copy !req
34. Please come back again soon.
- 200.
Copy !req
35. You two are spending way too much
on advertising.
Copy !req
36. TV commercials are a big waste of money.
Remember, we're in this to make a profit.
Copy !req
37. We know what we're doing.
Copy !req
38. The more we spend to hype this place,
the more customers we'll get.
Copy !req
39. Customers who will spend thousands
for a fashionable Pokémon.
Copy !req
40. - I think I'm going to get in line.
- Huh?
Copy !req
41. - It's there!
Huh?
Copy !req
42. I found it!
Copy !req
43. I've been looking all over for this place.
Copy !req
44. This is the store you've been looking for?
Copy !req
45. - What are you so nervous about?
Hi. Can I help you?
Copy !req
46. Just relax. Release all your tensions.
Copy !req
47. Now you'll have more energy.
Copy !req
48. Chansey. Chansey. Chansey!
Copy !req
49. Chansey! I've come for you, darling.
Copy !req
50. Ah! Don't you look precious.
Copy !req
51. Thank you for bringing Chansey
to my salon.
Copy !req
52. - See you soon, Suzie.
- Chansey.
Copy !req
53. - May I help the next customer?
- Pika.
Copy !req
54. We're just kind of sort
of browsing around.
Copy !req
55. - Uh, no, uh.
- Look! Isn't that Vulpix the cutest thing?
Copy !req
56. - Oh, don't you want to hug it?
Ah!
Copy !req
57. - Pikachu.
- What is it?
Copy !req
58. Vulpix, a fox Pokémon.
Its six tails are extremely beautiful.
Copy !req
59. As it evolves, it grows even more tails.
Copy !req
60. I love its hair.
Copy !req
61. I wish I had hair like Vulpix
that looked so shiny and soft.
Copy !req
62. - Don't touch it!
- You're just about the cutest
Copy !req
63. - little Pokémon I've ever seen—
- Ah!
Copy !req
64. - Very cute.
- Hm.
Copy !req
65. Vulpix uses powerful flame attacks.
Copy !req
66. Duh.
Copy !req
67. Please pardon Vulpix.
Copy !req
68. It doesn't like to be picked up
or hugged by strangers.
Copy !req
69. - Wish I'd known that sooner.
- Uh, Suzie?
Copy !req
70. Yes.
Copy !req
71. Uh, my name's Brock.
Nice to meet you, Suzie.
Copy !req
72. Uh, I want to breed like you. I mean,
I want to be a breeder like you.
Copy !req
73. It's very nice to meet you, Brock.
Copy !req
74. I'm flattered
you want to make me your model.
Copy !req
75. Yes, I want to model you. I mean,
I'm flattered that you're flattered.
Copy !req
76. I mean, your Vulpix is nice.
Copy !req
77. - Uh.
- Huh?
Copy !req
78. What I'm really trying to say is,
Copy !req
79. Suzie, I'm begging you to accept me
as your pupil.
Copy !req
80. - Pika.
Copy !req
81. You got to be kidding, Brock.
Copy !req
82. Mind your own business, Ash.
I know what I'm doing.
Copy !req
83. Please say yes, Suzie.
Copy !req
84. I don't have pupils, Brock.
Breeding takes up all my time.
Copy !req
85. What makes her
such a great breeder anyway?
Copy !req
86. How dare you!
Copy !req
87. The sensational Suzie of Scissor Street
has been awarded the trophy for excellence
Copy !req
88. at the World Pokémon Breeder's Contest
for three consecutive years.
Copy !req
89. Wait. There's more.
Copy !req
90. Lights. In addition to that,
the readers of Pokémon Friends magazine
Copy !req
91. named her the most popular breeder
four years running.
Copy !req
92. And her hugely popular website
records over 10,000 hits per day.
Copy !req
93. Now, that's what I call a great breeder.
Copy !req
94. You better believe it.
Copy !req
95. Okay, Brock, we heard you clear and loud.
Copy !req
96. I wonder if this Vulpix has ever won
any awards in competition?
Copy !req
97. That's a fabulous question, Misty.
Copy !req
98. Vulpix is the hottest supermodel
of the Pokémon world.
Copy !req
99. Notice the gorgeous, flowing tails
that have made Vulpix a champ.
Copy !req
100. - Plus there's—
- We get the idea, Brock!
Copy !req
101. - Vulpix is terrific too.
Copy !req
102. So all three of you are traveling
on a Pokémon journey together.
Copy !req
103. Pikachu! Pi!
Copy !req
104. Your Pikachu has a beautiful shiny coat.
Copy !req
105. Are you the one who prepares
all of Pikachu's food, Brock?
Copy !req
106. - Yes! I do.
- And it's Brock's own recipe too.
Copy !req
107. My career as a breeder also began
Copy !req
108. when I first became interested
in Pokémon nutrition.
Copy !req
109. Pi!
Copy !req
110. Mm. Mm.
Copy !req
111. Whoa.
Copy !req
112. - Vulpix.
Ah!
Copy !req
113. I can't believe Vulpix is eating
the food I made.
Copy !req
114. Brock, this is really impressive.
Copy !req
115. Vulpix never eats food
that I haven't made myself.
Copy !req
116. Looks like Vulpix is a fan
of Brock's cooking.
Copy !req
117. Uh, thank you, Vulpix.
Copy !req
118. Suzie.
Copy !req
119. We saw some super-fancy-looking Pokémon
when we were walking down the street.
Copy !req
120. Is that really the latest trend?
Copy !req
121. By any chance, did you pass
a very large salon on the way?
Copy !req
122. Mm-hm, you mean
that really tacky-looking place.
Copy !req
123. Ever since it opened,
Copy !req
124. some trainers are trying to make
their Pokémon as flashy as possible.
Copy !req
125. So that salon started the trend.
Copy !req
126. A good breeder is always trying
Copy !req
127. to bring out a Pokémon's
inner strength and personality.
Copy !req
128. But this new fad is about standing out,
not what's inside.
Copy !req
129. I don't like it either.
Copy !req
130. It's pretty stupid
to waste your time showing off.
Copy !req
131. But sometimes even Pokémon
like to get dressed up
Copy !req
132. and show off a little
just like the rest of us.
Copy !req
133. Right, Pikachu? I see it now.
Copy !req
134. Pika, pika?
Copy !req
135. I think Pikachu's perfect the way it is.
Copy !req
136. We don't need any goofy fashions.
Copy !req
137. It's what's going on inside
that really counts.
Copy !req
138. I never said the inside wasn't important,
but the outside counts too.
Copy !req
139. The inside is what matters.
Copy !req
140. - Outside too.
- Inside!
Copy !req
141. - Outside too.
- Inside matters the most.
Copy !req
142. The outside matters too.
Copy !req
143. - Inside.
- Outside too.
Copy !req
144. - Shouldn't you stop them?
- That's like trying to stop the tide.
Copy !req
145. If you think fashion's so great,
Copy !req
146. how about taking your Psyduck
to that salon?
Copy !req
147. Hey, what a great idea.
Copy !req
148. Let's go, Psyduck.
Copy !req
149. Psy-ay-ay.
Copy !req
150. Now we'll see who gets the last quack.
Copy !req
151. Ha! Anyway Psyduck and I are so cute,
we'll look good whatever fashion we wear.
Copy !req
152. I'm sure Psyduck will.
Copy !req
153. What do you know about fashion?
Copy !req
154. - Right, Psyduck?
- Psy-ay-ay. Duck?
Copy !req
155. This may be more of a challenge
than I thought it would be.
Copy !req
156. Better get going.
Copy !req
157. Ha! You'll be jealous
when we get back from the salon
Copy !req
158. and Psyduck turns out to be even cuter
than Pikachu.
Copy !req
159. - Come on, Psyduck.
- Psy.
Copy !req
160. Psyduck. Psyduck. Psyduck.
Copy !req
161. I wonder if it's what's on the outside
Copy !req
162. or what's inside
that really counts in the end.
Copy !req
163. Ever since that new salon opened,
I've been wondering about my methods.
Copy !req
164. - Don't say things like that.
Copy !req
165. Suzie. You've got to keep following
the path you believe in.
Copy !req
166. We have to stick up
for what's inside together.
Copy !req
167. - Right, Pikachu?
- Pikachu.
Copy !req
168. That's very kind. But how can we?
Copy !req
169. If they want to put style over substance,
we'll give customers substance with style.
Copy !req
170. Uh, there are still a few seats left
in the back of the room
Copy !req
171. for our lecture on Pokémon care.
Copy !req
172. Each Pokémon needs your special care
and attention.
Copy !req
173. Whenever a Pokémon's been injured
in a battle,
Copy !req
174. it should be given a therapeutic massage.
Copy !req
175. Pika.
Copy !req
176. Hey! Wait! Where did everybody go?
Copy !req
177. - Say, weren't you over at Suzie's?
- Yeah, I saw you there.
Copy !req
178. Suzie's lecture just started.
Copy !req
179. It's a series about Pokémon care.
Copy !req
180. Today she's talking about massage.
Copy !req
181. A lecture on Pokémon massage?
Copy !req
182. This volunteer and his Pikachu
Copy !req
183. will now demonstrate the techniques
we learned in today's lecture. Mm-hm.
Copy !req
184. As you may already know,
Copy !req
185. a Pikachu's electric sacks
are located in its cheeks
Copy !req
186. and they become very tense
after a difficult battle.
Copy !req
187. Pika, Pikachu.
Copy !req
188. Ash, would you please massage Pikachu's
cheeks just like I showed you earlier?
Copy !req
189. Uh, sure.
Copy !req
190. Pikachu.
Copy !req
191. - Ah, let's see.
- Ha!
Copy !req
192. - Maybe...
Copy !req
193. How's that feel, Pikachu?
- Pika.
Copy !req
194. That's amazing.
- Wow.
Copy !req
195. Good communication between Pokémon
and their trainers is essential.
Copy !req
196. These techniques build trust
and bring out a Pokémon's personality.
Copy !req
197. I think Suzie will agree with me
Copy !req
198. that any technique is only as good
as the trainer or breeder who uses it.
Copy !req
199. The perfect touch.
One last rose.
Copy !req
200. Voila. This Squirtle shell
has become the perfect advertisement
Copy !req
201. for our latest line of Pokémon fashions.
Copy !req
202. Oh, yet another masterpiece
from Salon Rocket.
Copy !req
203. Roses are the flowers of love and romance.
Copy !req
204. We also paint daffodils.
Copy !req
205. Squirtle.
Copy !req
206. Meowth,
send in the next customer, tout de suite.
Copy !req
207. Can't you see I'm counting money here?
Copy !req
208. Hmm? Only one customer?
Copy !req
209. One or one million, it doesn't matter
Copy !req
210. as long as we have customers
who appreciate true beauty.
Copy !req
211. We only want to offer our services
to the most refined customers.
Copy !req
212. We're not going to make
any money that way.
Copy !req
213. Hello there, everybody.
Copy !req
214. - Huh?
Copy !req
215. - Welcome, young lady.
- Hmm.
Copy !req
216. Oh.
Hey, what are you doing?
Copy !req
217. Step in. Don't be shy.
- No, not me. Psyduck.
Copy !req
218. Don't be so hard on yourself.
You're just as lovely as any Psyduck.
Copy !req
219. Hey. Hold on a second.
Copy !req
220. - Psy.
It's another masterpiece.
Copy !req
221. You like it?
Copy !req
222. Oh, I love it!
You've really captured the real me.
Copy !req
223. You're totally amazing artists.
I look so cute.
Copy !req
224. I'm thrilled.
Copy !req
225. There's nothing that pleases us more
than a satisfied customer.
Copy !req
226. Oh, why don't we try out
even more new styles?
Copy !req
227. Time for a makeover!
Copy !req
228. - A dab of rouge.
A bit of blush.
Copy !req
229. A smidgen of lipstick.
A modicum of mascara.
Copy !req
230. A pinch of powder.
Forget about that makeover.
Copy !req
231. She hangs around with that Pikachu.
Copy !req
232. We got to grill the kid
to figure out how to steal it.
Copy !req
233. Hey, wait. You're Meowth.
Copy !req
234. We were trying to find out
until you blew our cover!
Copy !req
235. First you get the opponent to relax,
then you pump them for info!
Copy !req
236. So stop pumping me and get that Pikachu!
Copy !req
237. I'll never tell you phonies anything! Ah!
Copy !req
238. So you figured out the truth.
Copy !req
239. Well, you'd better tell us
where Pikachu is
Copy !req
240. if you don't want your face
painted just like Frankenstein.
Copy !req
241. Heh. Do I want a face like Frankenstein's?
No, I don't.
Copy !req
242. - Hey, Psyduck!
- Psyduck?
Copy !req
243. - Where'd Psyduck go?
- I don't see it.
Copy !req
244. - It's gone!
- Psyduck.
Copy !req
245. Psy, psy, psy.
Copy !req
246. Psy, psy. Psyduck. Psy, psy, psy.
Copy !req
247. Psy, psy, psy. Psyduck!
Copy !req
248. Huh?
Copy !req
249. - Pika?
- Psyduck! Psyduck!
Copy !req
250. Psy, psy, psy.
Psy-ay-ay-ay!
Copy !req
251. Pika! Pika! Pika!
Copy !req
252. What's the matter?
Has something bad happened to Misty?
Copy !req
253. Pika! Pika!
Copy !req
254. Pikachu!
Copy !req
255. - Misty!
- Pika!
Copy !req
256. Huh?
It's Team Rocket again!
Copy !req
257. What took you guys so long?
Copy !req
258. What happened to her face?
Copy !req
259. - Dumb boys.
Copy !req
260. - Let Misty go right now!
- Sorry, you'll have to wait your turn.
Copy !req
261. We won't be finished with her makeover
until she looks like this.
Copy !req
262. We're conducting
some important beauty research.
Copy !req
263. Beauty research?
Copy !req
264. Can't you understand
it's the beauty inside that counts?
Copy !req
265. Every Pokémon is beautiful.
Copy !req
266. We just have to help
the Pokémon discover it.
Copy !req
267. What's she talking about?
Copy !req
268. What does she know
about breeding Pokémon?
Copy !req
269. Who cares about the inside?
Outside counts.
Copy !req
270. What do you two numbskulls know
about Pokémon breeding?
Copy !req
271. This whole Salon Rocket idea's
supposed to be a scam remember?
Copy !req
272. - It was a brilliant plan.
Copy !req
273. Part one, think up some stupid
Pokémon fashions
Copy !req
274. and take piles of money from the trainers.
Copy !req
275. Money? What?
Copy !req
276. And part two, whenever a trainer brings
in a rare Pokémon,
Copy !req
277. first get the trainer distracted,
then steal the Pokémon on the spot.
Copy !req
278. - What?
Copy !req
279. And our greatest masterpiece of all
will be that Pikachu of yours.
Copy !req
280. How about a trade?
This twerpy girl for your Pikachu?
Copy !req
281. If you're trying to steal Pikachu,
we're going to battle.
Copy !req
282. - Count me in too. Tag team.
- Pika!
Copy !req
283. Salon Rocket is ready
with our own fashion-battle platform!
Copy !req
284. - Here goes.
Copy !req
285. And now Salon Rocket presents
Copy !req
286. a fashion extravaganza
and Pokémon battlethon.
Copy !req
287. To protect the world
from boring fashion
Copy !req
288. To dress all people
with flash and passion
Copy !req
289. To give all Pokémon pretty faces.
Copy !req
290. To extend our art to outer spaces.
Copy !req
291. - Jessie.
- James.
Copy !req
292. Salon Rocket.
Copy !req
293. When it comes to chic,
we know what's right.
Copy !req
294. Surrender your taste or prepare to fight.
Copy !req
295. Oh, we're supposed to battle on that?
Copy !req
296. - Dazzle them, Ekans.
- Knock them dead, Koffing.
Copy !req
297. - Ekans.
- Koffing.
Copy !req
298. We don't need costumes.
Copy !req
299. Pikachu's super-energized
from that massage.
Copy !req
300. - Go!
- Pika!
Copy !req
301. Geodude, go! Ugh.
Copy !req
302. - Geodude.
- Geodude, give them the seismic toss.
Copy !req
303. - Ekans.
Copy !req
304. Ekans!
Copy !req
305. - Thunder shock, now!
Copy !req
306. - Pikachu!
- Koffing!
Copy !req
307. Pika!
Copy !req
308. Koffing, cutie.
Sludge makeover!
Copy !req
309. - Koffing! Koff!
- Pi!
Copy !req
310. - Ah, Pikachu!
- Geodude!
Copy !req
311. Now the finale. Go!
Copy !req
312. Koffing!
Copy !req
313. Oh, no! It's a fashion disaster.
Copy !req
314. Get up, you guys! We've still got a battle
to finish. Let's go!
Copy !req
315. Koffing!
Copy !req
316. - Now what?
- Vulpix and I will take care of them.
Copy !req
317. We'll give your Vulpix a makeover
when we get rid of its tails.
Copy !req
318. Time to give you a lesson in breeding.
Copy !req
319. If all you worry about
is your Pokémon's outer beauty,
Copy !req
320. - its inner strength will be lost.
- Vul.
Copy !req
321. A Pokémon is like a fashion model.
All that counts is a pretty face.
Copy !req
322. - Like mine!
- Ekans!
Copy !req
323. Vulpix! Wrap them up with fire spin!
Copy !req
324. Save the gowns!
Copy !req
325. Hey! Don't fire spin me!
Help, help, help!
Copy !req
326. We're blasting off again!
Copy !req
327. Now, that's an attack.
Copy !req
328. Vulpix's greatest attack, fire spin.
Copy !req
329. Using powerful flames
to block its opponent from moving,
Copy !req
330. it then inflicts great damage.
Copy !req
331. Did you see that?
Copy !req
332. A cute exterior hides inner strength,
that's the Pokémon's true personality.
Copy !req
333. Psyduck!
- Psy?
Copy !req
334. Just when I really needed you,
you ducked out on me.
Copy !req
335. Get up here quick and untie me.
Untie me now!
Copy !req
336. Psy-ay-ay!
Copy !req
337. Nice work, Vulpix.
Copy !req
338. Thanks to all of you,
I believe in what I'm doing again.
Copy !req
339. You helped me regain confidence
in my beliefs.
Copy !req
340. Heh. It's not hard when the person
you're helping's as great as you are.
Copy !req
341. - And, Brock?
- Uh, yes?
Copy !req
342. I was very impressed
Copy !req
343. by the way you handled your Pokémon
in a crisis like that.
Copy !req
344. Suzie.
Copy !req
345. I have a lot more to learn
about breeding Pokémon.
Copy !req
346. Even if I do have a championship,
I'm still a student, not a teacher.
Copy !req
347. Looks like you and I
both have journeys ahead of us.
Copy !req
348. You leaving, Suzie?
What about your Pokémon salon?
Copy !req
349. There are things I can only learn
if I leave here.
Copy !req
350. I want you to continue
your journey too, Brock.
Copy !req
351. - From now on, we're rivals.
- Uh, sure.
Copy !req
352. - Vulpix.
- Ah!
Copy !req
353. I'd be grateful if you took care
of Vulpix for me.
Copy !req
354. - Huh?
- You're the first person other than me
Copy !req
355. that Vulpix has been friendly with.
Copy !req
356. Right now I believe
you could do a better job
Copy !req
357. - of raising Vulpix than I could.
- Vulpix.
Copy !req
358. - Mm, thanks. I don't know what to say.
Copy !req
359. Pika.
Copy !req
360. You don't have to worry, Vulpix.
I promise I'll take good care of you.
Copy !req
361. All right! I got Vulpix!
Copy !req
362. Hm.
Copy !req
363. Hey, what are you laughing for?
This makeup is very fashionable.
Copy !req
364. And so Brock must continue
down his own path
Copy !req
365. to becoming a Pokémon breeder.
Copy !req
366. With Vulpix, he has a new friend on
his journey and he has a new determination
Copy !req
367. to be the greatest Pokémon breeder
of all time.
Copy !req
368. Now, we need a total makeover
so nobody we ripped off can recognize us.
Copy !req
369. They're all just jealous because they're
not attractive enough to wear our designs.
Copy !req
370. Back to the drawing board!
Copy !req
371. So long, Salon Rocket!
Copy !req
372. It's that time again.
Copy !req
373. A hundred and fifty Pokémon
five days a week.
Copy !req
374. That's about thirty or so each day.
Copy !req
375. It's not too hard.
just listen real good.
Copy !req
376. Okay, so today was pretty easy.
Copy !req
377. But you gotta put all five days together.
Copy !req
378. It's the only way to name all 150.
Copy !req
379. Catch you here tomorrow.
