Pokémon 1x52

1. As our heroes take a break in their journey,

2. Todd, their photographer friend, decides to shoot a few Pokémon pictures.

3. Come on. Turn around, Togepi.

4. - Now, don't be shy. Turn and say Togepi. - Togepi.

5. Great! That was a cool shot!

6. Now a Pokémon weather update. - Huh?

7. Our area will remain clear and sunny today with highs in the upper 70s so get...

8. - Sounds like good weather. - Pikachu.

9. It should be great for taking pictures.

10. Pokémon love power!

11. Find it at our five-star breeding center,

12. where every Pokémon is treated like a loved one!

13. This guest evolved into a Charmeleon

14. and then into a Charizard in just a few short days.

15. At the five-star breeding center, a little pampering goes a long way.

16. Let our experts provide your Pokémon with our loving care.

17. So, why go through all the fuss when you can bring your Pokémon to us, huh?

18. What's that?

19. Looks like somebody just opened up a new breeding center.

20. - Breeding center? - The newest thing!

21. Breeding centers raise Pokémon for kids who can't themselves.

22. It's like a Pokémon spa.

23. A really excellent breeding center can even help your Pokémon evolve.

24. Wow! Let's check it out.

25. There's no need to push. We have plenty of rooms left in our luxury suites.

26. We guarantee your Pokémon will soon be like new and some may even evolve.

27. She seems really nice.

28. And do you know why we're so popular? It's because we believe in love.

29. We feel every Pokémon is lovable.

30. - We believe in Pokémon love power. - Love power.

31. Yay!

32. Love power.

33. Wow, she sure knows how to attract customers.

34. Yeah.

35. - Our next guest. - Right this way, please.

36. - I have a Pokémon, too! - Well, you're in the right place.

37. So, what do I have to do to check my Pokémon in here?

38. - Misty, you're leaving one here? - Yup, I'll give it a try.

39. But which Pokémon? Not your Staryu.

40. Togepi's too young.

41. My Psyduck. I want to leave my Psyduck here with you!

42. It's so cute. Don't you just adore those eyes.

43. They're bright and bouncy as ping-pong balls.

44. Yeah and I wish I had a paddle.

45. So, then, is there anything special you'd like us to do?

46. For starters, you might try knocking some common sense into its big, empty head.

47. There's an awful lot of unused space in here.

48. Hmm, that's strange. It looks intelligent to me.

49. And you have to change this clueless-looking face.

50. - That'd take a miracle. - Funny you should say that.

51. The motto here at our breeding center is:

52. "A little Pokémon love power works miracles."

53. Have fun, Psyduck. - Bye, Psyduck. Good luck.

54. Psy.

55. Psyduck'll prove if that place is any good.

56. I bet you're going to just leave Psyduck there and never go back.

57. No way! I'd never abandon Psyduck like that.

58. Well, I think Psyduck has some good points.

59. Want me to take it off your hands?

60. I caught Psyduck and I plan to keep it,

61. even if it's still annoying when I get it back.

62. That looks tasty.

63. Hey, it's a restaurant.

64. - Come to think of it, I'm really starving. - Hey, look at this.

65. All-you-can-eat-for free. All right!

66. I'm heading straight for the dessert bar.

67. It can't really be free, can it?

68. There's got to be a catch, like you got to order ten dinners to get one free.

69. Well, I'd eat ten dinners if they came with ten desserts.

70. - Ah!

71. No need to eat that much unless y'all really want to.

72. The buffet is free on one condition.

73. What's the condition?

74. Well, just show me my favorite Pokémon

75. and I'll treat you to all the food you can eat,

76. plus all the deserts you can eat, too.

77. - Yeah! - I'm sure one of us has your favorite.

78. Okay! Come out, everybody!

79. Mm, hmm.

80. Hm.

81. None of these.

82. Ah!

83. - Well, how about Pikachu? - Pikachu!

84. Mm, I'm afraid not.

85. Maybe your favorite's Onyx, or Geodude, or Zubat, or maybe it's Vulpix.

86. Uh-uh.

87. Well, how about Goldeen, Staryu, Starmie, Horsea or maybe my Togepi?

88. None of them is my favorite.

89. Aw!

90. But that's all of our Pokémon.

91. Maybe it's a Pokémon we haven't caught yet.

92. My favorite Pokémon is this one.

93. Huh? Psyduck?

94. You're a Psyduck fan?

95. Hey, that looks like a picture I took.

96. I think Psyduck is the greatest thing since the invention of the microwave oven.

97. I'm such a big fan that whenever a customer brings in a Psyduck,

98. I let them eat for free.

99. Sir, if we come back in a couple minutes, will you be here?

100. Sure. I've got to wait here for a delivery of 50 gallons of ice cream.

101. Yay, yay, yay! Heh, back in a flash!

102. That's typical. It figures Psyduck isn't around the one time I really need it.

103. You're the one who left it at that center.

104. Ah, it's already closed!

105. Ah, guess we'll have to come back tomorrow.

106. We won't get that free buffet today.

107. No way! I'm getting into that dessert bar now!

108. There might not be any ice cream left tomorrow!

109. Let's go see if there's a back way.

110. Hello! Anybody there? I need to get the Pokémon I left here.

111. Please come open the door so I can get back to that dessert buffet.

112. Huh? It's open.

113. Hello? Is there anybody who can get my Pokémon?

114. Is there anybody who can help me?

115. There's nobody here.

116. Is there anyone here who can help us? It's so dark. I can't see.

117. Hey, I got a light.

118. - Ah, what is this? - It's the Pokémon. Oh.

119. This doesn't look like a luxury hotel to me.

120. This is cruel. They're crammed into cages.

121. Pika.

122. These Pokémon don't look like they want to smile for the camera.

123. Huh? Hey, here's your Psyduck.

124. I have to say, it looks a little smarter than when I dropped it off.

125. Take a closer look. They just pulled its eyes back with tape.

126. That's terrible! - Psy-ay.

127. Huh?

128. What's that?

129. The next Pokémon's a Sandshrew.

130. Hm, looks like this one is in pretty good shape.

131. It could be very useful, as long as we can teach it to use fury swipes.

132. We've got an awful lot of Pokémon piled up in this dump.

133. Yeah, just goes to prove that a lot of Pokémon trainers are suckers.

134. Now all we have to do is pick out the choice Pokémon

135. - and ship them out to the boss. - We'll be his absolute favorites.

136. - And we'll be in for a big bonus. - This breeding center was a great idea.

137. We believe in love power. That's because we love power.

138. So it's all a big fake. - We've got to do something to stop them.

139. We can't let them treat Pokémon like this.

140. - Hey, I think I have an idea. - Pika, pika?

141. I'll take pictures of this place so everyone can see what's happening.

142. Yeah, that's a great idea.

143. So tell me, how is the breeding center scam going?

144. Very well. As planned, we've collected lots of promising Pokémon.

145. Excellent. Send them to me immediately.

146. I want to pick the choice ones for myself.

147. Yes, sir.

148. I want to congratulate the two of you on your splendid work on this project,

149. unlike those other blundering idiots.

150. Just doing our job.

151. But I don't know how you put up with that Jessie or her stupid partner James.

152. They're an embarrassment.

153. They are completely unreliable.

154. It's a good thing we didn't tell them about this plan. They would've ruined it.

155. Butch, Cassidy, you know I'm counting on you.

156. Yes, sir.

157. We won't disappoint you.

158. - Todd, take a picture of that. There. - Huh?

159. Okay.

160. - Huh? - What, Butch? Something wrong?

161. I thought I saw something back there.

162. - It looked like a flash. Oh.

163. I better go check it out.

164. Chu! Pikachu! Chu!

165. The light was only from this Pikachu.

166. - You pulled it off, Pikachu. - Pika.

167. I think I have all the shots I'm going to need.

168. Good. We better get out of here quick.

169. - Wait, we can't. Psyduck. - What's wrong?

170. The cage is locked. I can't just leave Psyduck trapped in this awful place.

171. Psyduck.

172. Uh, what's that?

173. Be quiet as a mouse. Did you say Meowth?

174. This way.

175. This is so exciting!

176. - Ugh. - Keep it quiet, James Bond.

177. Breaking into this breeding center was genius. It's a burglar's dream.

178. I told you this place was going to be packed with Pokémon.

179. And we're going to steal every last one.

180. That'll put us back on the boss's good side.

181. But we've never been on his good side before.

182. Almost got it.

183. All the Pokémon we could ever want.

184. Hey! Huh?

185. What are you doing here?

186. I put that very same question to you.

187. Keep it down. You'll get us all in trouble.

188. How did you get in here anyway?

189. Don't tell me you goody-goodies finally decided to become baddy-baddies.

190. You'd better not try to take over our territory.

191. I knew all along we couldn't trust you.

192. Will you shut up! Ah!

193. This time, you're in way over your heads.

194. She's right. We better get these Pokémon out of here fast or we're all in danger.

195. I know what you're doing.

196. You're trying to trick us into helping you steal all these Pokémon for yourselves.

197. Fine, believe what you want.

198. Huh?

199. I knew there was something rotten back here.

200. And I was right. Looks like rats have snuck in.

201. - What should we do? - We'll exterminate them.

202. - We're not afraid of creeps like you. - Let's mix it up.

203. - You don't know who you're dealing with. - But we'll be glad to show you.

204. Prepare for trouble and make it double.

205. - To infect the world with devastation. - To blight all peoples in every nation.

206. To denounce the goodness of truth and love.

207. To extend our wrath to the stars above.

208. - Cassidy. - Butch.

209. We're Team Rocket, circling earth all day and night.

210. Surrender to us now or you'll surely lose the fight.

211. That's right.

212. Copycat!

213. Does this mean you belong to Team Rocket, too?

214. Jessie, it's been a while.

215. - Do you know that girl? - She used to hang around with me.

216. She was jealous because I'm so beautiful.

217. You haven't changed a bit, unfortunately for you.

218. And you're still a selfish little brat. How dare you use that motto.

219. It's an outrage! It took us months to find a motto we could swipe!

220. Steal your own slogan.

221. Save your arguments for the boss when he finds out you're stealing his Pokémon.

222. - We're in trouble.

223. The boss is really ticked off that he hasn't heard from you.

224. He thinks it's insulting!

225. But we can't call him till we do something wrong right.

226. - He might throw us off the team. - Ugh.

227. We got this mission because the boss can't trust you.

228. When he finds out that you managed to bungle it anyway,

229. well, I hate to think what might happen to you,

230. but I suppose getting thrown off the team is the best you could hope for after this.

231. Isn't that right, Jess?

232. We'd be infernally grateful if you could forget this ever happened.

233. Heh, what's it worth to you?

234. - Not so fast, children. - Ugh.

235. Now that you know our little secret, I'm afraid we can't let you leave.

236. We don't know anything about any secrets!

237. We were just trying to get a free all-you-can-eat buffet!

238. You kids can't get away from me. I'm not a little pushover like Jessie.

239. Let's make a run for it.

240. What's the matter?

241. This is the breeding center where I left my Weepinbell the other day.

242. It evolved into a Victreebell! Isn't that just...

243. I just wish his brain would evolve a little.

244. - There's the exit! - Pikachu!

245. - We're trapped! - What do we do?

246. - Misty, you better hide. - Okay. Pikachu, come on!

247. Our rat trap worked.

248. You crooks better let us out of here.

249. - What's that? - It's mine!

250. You won't be needing this.

251. Burglars! Oh, I'm still shaking like a leaf, Officer.

252. Thank goodness our security system stopped them before they hurt the Pokémon, oh.

253. Don't worry. We'll make sure these thieves are punished.

254. Thanks to you, our city's a little safer.

255. I'm telling you, you're arresting the wrong guys. We're innocent.

256. - Those guys are the crooks, not us. - Hey, speak for yourself.

257. Look in the warehouse. Ugh, then you'll see.

258. Save your story for the station house.

259. This is the low point, turned in not by these brats but by our own teammates.

260. Great, now we're going to jail.

261. Oh, no, now we've got to find some way to convince Jenny that they're innocent.

262. - Pika. Think, Misty.

263. There's got to be some way. Ah, I've got it!

264. All we have to do is show Jenny some of the pictures that Todd took.

265. - Pikachu. - Togepi.

266. Excuse me. I left a Psyduck here yesterday.

267. We have a two-day holding policy.

268. Ugh, but you see, I have to take an emergency trip

269. and I really need my Psyduck to come with me.

270. I understand. Just a moment, please.

271. - Okay, Pikachu. - Pika.

272. - Toge. - You stay here.

273. Pi, pi. Pika, pika.

274. Pikachu sure is taking a long time. I wish it would hurry.

275. Miss. - Yes?

276. Pika.

277. Pika!

278. I'm afraid there wasn't time to give your Psyduck a proper facial,

279. so there hasn't been much improvement.

280. - Don't you have to leave? - Huh?

281. - Huh? - Pika.

282. - Ah! Is something wrong?

283. On second thought, I got to run. Bye!

284. Let us out. We're not the crooks!

285. Those two at that breeding center are the criminals!

286. - That's right! Not us! Just go there and see for yourself.

287. Wow, it grew into a fabulous Victreebell.

288. It's so big and strong and healthy-looking. Friendly. Too.

289. If you're trying to win sympathy, it won't work.

290. The judge is going to throw the book at you Pokémon snatchers.

291. - You're making a mistake. - Pika, pika!

292. Misty! Pikachu!

293. These guys have been telling the truth, Officer Jenny,

294. and these photographs prove it.

295. - Ah, what a cute little Pikachu. - Huh?

296. Ah, wrong pictures. Look at these.

297. Oh, no, that's terrible.

298. That place isn't a real a breeding center.

299. They just steal the best Pokémon that are brought in.

300. Those two told me the center was like a Pokémon spa.

301. - That was a lie. - They cram the Pokémon into cages.

302. Pika, pika.

303. That's why they told you we were the crooks

304. - because we found out about their plans. - They tricked me?

305. When we heard what those crooks were up to, we went to stop them too.

306. - It's true. Honest. - Yeah, we're good guys.

307. Please. They broke into the breeding center just to steal Pokémon.

308. So you thought you could frame these kids

309. when it was you who were really stealing Pokémon.

310. You're under arrest!

311. - But we're not— We already know everything.

312. There's no use resisting.

313. Raticate, go!

314. Go, Pikachu!

315. - Raticate got fried. - Tough break.

316. Let's go. - Ugh.

317. - Bulbasaur, I choose you! - Bulbasaur!

318. - Bulbasaur, it's vine whip time! - Bulba.

319. Love power?

320. Pikachu's the one who snuck into the breeding center

321. - and got the camera back. - Pikachu, you're the best.

322. Pika.

323. Heh, good thing Todd takes great pictures.

324. Yeah!

325. You all did a great job.

326. Now we'll return all the Pokémon to their rightful owners.

327. That's great, Jenny.

328. Anybody hungry? Huh?

329. - More ice cream! - Take it easy.

330. - Yeah, leave some for the other customers. - Pikachu, pi.

331. Don't worry. There's plenty of ice cream left, Misty.

332. And all of it's free,

333. since you brought this cute little Psyduck to visit my restaurant.

334. You have good taste.

335. I can't stand it here. There's not a single mirror in our cell.

336. I refuse to wear those horrible prison uniforms.

337. And I would give this food to a Muk.

338. We shouldn't have tried to steal from that friend of yours, Jessie.

339. I'll show her who's the queen of mean.

340. I guess you guys are heading to Cinnabar Island, right?

341. That's right.

342. Well, I think I'm going to head up to the mountains

343. so I can take some new shots of wild Pokémon.

344. - That's great. - We'll all miss you.

345. - Bye! I hope we meet again real soon. - Mm-hmm.

346. And so thanks to a few photographs,

347. getting out of jail was a snap for our heroes.

348. As they continue their journey,

349. who knows what adventures lie ahead... or below?

350. James, watch where you're throwing that dirt.

351. Watch? I can't see a foot in front of my face.

352. If you don't quit squawking, you'll see a foot in front of your face, mine!

353. You guys up for the Pokérap?

354. There's 150 Pokémon. You gotta name 'em all.

355. I'm doing 32 today, so try to keep up.

356. All right, how'd you do?

357. Loosen those lips. Shake out that tongue!

358. Give it a rest. Today's song is sung

359. We'll be back tomorrow!
