1. All right, battle fans, it's time!Copy !req
2. The bout we've all been waiting
for is finally here.Copy !req
3. Will Cynthia, the Champion League
Master, win itCopy !req
4. or Lucian of the Elite Four?Copy !req
5. And Flash Cannon scores
a direct hit,Copy !req
6. complete with tonnes of
mucho mando mega power.Copy !req
7. Is it all over for Garchomp?Copy !req
8. It's a smoky maze out on the field
as we wait for the results.Copy !req
9. How could Garchomp survive
a smash like that?Copy !req
10. Just what I'd expect, Lucian versus
the Champion League Master.Copy !req
11. They're supercharged.Copy !req
12. It's got to be the greatest
battle in all of Sinnoh.Copy !req
13. I don't believe it!
Garchomp's emerged unscathed!Copy !req
14. And here it comes, a prime example
of Garchomp's patented Giga Impact.Copy !req
15. And Bronzong endures a clean hit,Copy !req
16. complements of GarchompCopy !req
17. and the Champion League
Master Cynthia!Copy !req
18. Champion's right!
She's top of the line.Copy !req
19. I don't even think Lucian
stands a chance.Copy !req
20. Well, in all of Sinnoh,
she's trainer number one.Copy !req
21. Pikachu!Copy !req
22. Hey, guys... Huh?Copy !req
23. .. check it out, the champion just
turned up at Amity Square.Copy !req
24. No way! Cynthia's over there?Copy !req
25. Yeah. Let's go!Copy !req
26. OK!Copy !req
27. Come on, let's go, too! Yeah! Pika!Copy !req
28. Our heroes' journey to
Hearthome City has taken a mostCopy !req
29. exciting turn, for as luck would
have it, they're now on their wayCopy !req
30. to see Champion League Master
Cynthia up close and personal.Copy !req
31. Hm...Copy !req
32. Excuse me. Know what you'd like
just yet?Copy !req
33. Well, every one of them looks great.Copy !req
34. Then try them all
and knock yourself out.Copy !req
35. But where would I put them all?Copy !req
36. I know! I'll take a triple cone with
chocolate mint, strawberry,Copy !req
37. and cookies and cream.Copy !req
38. That's narrowing it down.Copy !req
39. Thank you.Copy !req
40. Thank you.Copy !req
41. Finally. That was an interesting way
to spend half the day.Copy !req
42. Imagine her at the grocery store.Copy !req
43. Wobbuffet!Copy !req
44. Whoa! It's really her.Copy !req
45. Cynthia, the champion.Copy !req
46. She's even more ravishing
live than on TV.Copy !req
47. I should be in her arms
instead of ice cream!Copy !req
48. Sometimes, Brock, you worry me.Copy !req
49. Huh?Copy !req
50. Hey, Paul. Hm.Copy !req
51. Haven't seen you since Oreburgh.Copy !req
52. So, how many badges have you won?Copy !req
53. I've got two of them now.Copy !req
54. It's really none of your
business, see. Uh...Copy !req
55. The same old same old.Copy !req
56. You're Cynthia, aren't you?Copy !req
57. Yes.Copy !req
58. My name is Paul,
and I'm from Veilstone.Copy !req
59. I'd like to challenge you
to a battle.Copy !req
60. Huh?Copy !req
61. Who IS that guy?Copy !req
62. He can't challenge
the champion like that.Copy !req
63. Huh.Copy !req
64. It's been a while since I took
a field challenge.Copy !req
65. Are you competing in the
Sinnoh League now?Copy !req
66. That's right.Copy !req
67. I see.Copy !req
68. Then I'm assuming you transferred
here from another league.Copy !req
69. Fine, then, I accept your challenge.Copy !req
70. The champion's going to
battle him. Unbelievable!Copy !req
71. She couldn't decide what
ice cream to have.Copy !req
72. But she didn't think twice
with the twerp.Copy !req
73. Guess champions must be
weird like that.Copy !req
74. Do you mind if we battle with
six Pokemon each?Copy !req
75. No problem.Copy !req
76. Hey, that's a full battle.Copy !req
77. He's got guts all right.
But he sure doesn't have brains.Copy !req
78. Wow, this crowd's giving Paul
a tough time.Copy !req
79. That's true. But don't forget this
is Paul we're talking about.Copy !req
80. I'm sure he's done his homework.Copy !req
81. Then let's get this under way.Copy !req
82. Garchomp, Battle Dance!Copy !req
83. Gar!Copy !req
84. Whoa! There's Garchomp again.Copy !req
85. Garchomp, the Mach Pokemon.Copy !req
86. When it folds up its body
and spreads its wings,Copy !req
87. it can fly like a jet plane
at the speed of sound.Copy !req
88. Chimchar, stand by for battle!Copy !req
89. Chimchar!Copy !req
90. A Chimchar?Copy !req
91. But wait, Garchomp's a combination
dragon and ground type.Copy !req
92. Everybody knows a fire type's going
to be a lousy match-up.Copy !req
93. Hey, no brains, remember.Copy !req
94. Paul, you may have
the first attack. Thanks.Copy !req
95. Fire Spin, go!Copy !req
96. Chimchar!Copy !req
97. Wow! So Chimchar learned Fire Spin.Copy !req
98. With lots more strength.Copy !req
99. But let's see if Fire Spin
does anything.Copy !req
100. Now Dig!Copy !req
101. Chimchar-char-char-char-char!Copy !req
102. We'll use Dig, as well.Copy !req
103. Gar!Copy !req
104. Do you think they're
looking for gold?Copy !req
105. You can be sure I would.Copy !req
106. Ah! Ah!Copy !req
107. Boy, that didn't take long, did it?Copy !req
108. You ought to be ashamed.Copy !req
109. That guy still doesn't get it.Copy !req
110. Weavile, stand by for battle.Copy !req
111. Weavile!Copy !req
112. Let's see how Weavile does.Copy !req
113. Weavile, the
Sharp Claw Pokemon.Copy !req
114. It signals its companions by using
its claws to leaveCopy !req
115. mysterious markings on the surfaces
of trees and ice.Copy !req
116. An ice-type Pokemon like Weavile
against Garchomp is a good match.Copy !req
117. Yes, a wise choice indeed.Copy !req
118. Blizzard!Copy !req
119. Weavile!Copy !req
120. What happened?Copy !req
121. That Blizzard should've been huge
but it did nothing.Copy !req
122. Dragon Rush.Copy !req
123. Gar!Copy !req
124. Weavile.Copy !req
125. Why does Weavile just stand
there? Pika!Copy !req
126. Dragon Rush is a move that focuses
the body into a weaponCopy !req
127. that strikes with incredible power.Copy !req
128. Any opponent loses its ability
to escape from it.Copy !req
129. In that case, Ice Beam.Copy !req
130. Weavile!Copy !req
131. Wea... vile.Copy !req
132. Hm.Copy !req
133. One hit again.Copy !req
134. No wonder he's mad.Copy !req
135. If she did that to me,
I'd be burning up.Copy !req
136. Murkrow, stand by for battle.Copy !req
137. Murkrow.Copy !req
138. I didn't know Paul had a Murkrow.Copy !req
139. I'll check it out.Copy !req
140. Murkrow,
the Darkness Pokemon.Copy !req
141. Many people believe that
if you see a Murkrow at night,Copy !req
142. it will bring bad luck.Copy !req
143. Use Haze.Copy !req
144. Murkrow!Copy !req
145. Dodge it!Copy !req
146. That's fast.Copy !req
147. Sky Attack, now!Copy !req
148. Quick, Giga Impact.Copy !req
149. Gar!Copy !req
150. Here it comes. Murkrow!Copy !req
151. Murkrow!Copy !req
152. Murkrow.Copy !req
153. PAUL CHUCKLESCopy !req
154. Hm?Copy !req
155. Hold on, what's Paul smiling about?Copy !req
156. Pika.Copy !req
157. He lost three Pokemon with
a single hit.Copy !req
158. Torterra, stand by for battle.Copy !req
159. Torterra!Copy !req
160. Whoa! That's a Torterra.Copy !req
161. Torterra,
the Continent Pokemon.Copy !req
162. Torterra is the final evolved
form of Turtwig.Copy !req
163. Sometimes small Pokemon will gatherCopy !req
164. to make their nests on
Torterra's back.Copy !req
165. Paul's got three Pokemon to go.Copy !req
166. While Cynthia's still got all
six of her Pokemon ready.Copy !req
167. And Garchomp's hardly even
gotten a scratch.Copy !req
168. Giga Drain.Copy !req
169. Torterra!Copy !req
170. A hit! Pika.Copy !req
171. But I don't understand why Garchomp
didn't even try to dodge it.Copy !req
172. Of course. That's what Paul wanted
to happen. Huh?Copy !req
173. After a Giga Impact is launched,
it takes a while to recharge.Copy !req
174. So Paul knew that by using
Giga Drain at this moment,Copy !req
175. he could sap Garchomp's
power for just long enough untilCopy !req
176. Giga Impact could be fully charged
up and Garchomp could use it again.Copy !req
177. Giga Impact is a powerful
move all right,Copy !req
178. but it's also one of Garchomp's
weak points, as well.Copy !req
179. Whoa!Copy !req
180. Now use Frenzy Plant.Copy !req
181. Torterra!Copy !req
182. Ah!Copy !req
183. CYNTHIA SNIGGERSCopy !req
184. Use Brick Break.Copy !req
185. Torterra!Copy !req
186. What... can you say?Copy !req
187. She's the champion.Copy !req
188. I guess that's it.Copy !req
189. Guess so. Nice, Garchomp,
great battle.Copy !req
190. Gar!Copy !req
191. You see! I told you he'd
be embarrassed.Copy !req
192. Hey, knock it off!Copy !req
193. But, Ash... What's up with him?Copy !req
194. Hm. I think Ash has some new-found
respect for Paul,Copy !req
195. after challenging Cynthia
the way he did.Copy !req
196. I'll tell you, Paul, it was great.Copy !req
197. Well, I'll work on it and try again.Copy !req
198. I'll look forward to it.Copy !req
199. Goodbye.Copy !req
200. Huh? Hey, wait, that's not where
the Pokemon Centre is, you know?Copy !req
201. Paul, hold it right there.Copy !req
202. Bringing injured Pokemon to
a Pokemon Centre is a trainer'sCopy !req
203. first responsibility, you know.Copy !req
204. Right.Copy !req
205. I'm terribly sorry. We've got
an urgent situation here now.Copy !req
206. I've got to get into surgery
right away.Copy !req
207. Please forgive me.Copy !req
208. Then there's no choice.
I'll have to treat them myself.Copy !req
209. Huh?Copy !req
210. You'll do it?Copy !req
211. Pika. I'll help you!Copy !req
212. Anything you need,
you just let me know.Copy !req
213. Croagunk.Copy !req
214. CYNTHIA CHUCKLESCopy !req
215. Croa?Copy !req
216. Croa...Copy !req
217. CROAGUNK CROAKSCopy !req
218. We've got quite a fever going here.Copy !req
219. But that Brick Break landed
on Torterra's head, didn't it?Copy !req
220. That's true, but the shock from that
move spread all over the body.Copy !req
221. So we treat everywhere,
not only the part that was hit.Copy !req
222. Wow.Copy !req
223. You're such a great champion.
You know everything!Copy !req
224. And now it's your turn.Copy !req
225. Chimchar, I want you to take this.Copy !req
226. Chim!Copy !req
227. That was excellent. Chimchar.Copy !req
228. I'm proud of you.Copy !req
229. Chimchar.Copy !req
230. There, time for some rest.Copy !req
231. Chimchar looks a lot better now.Copy !req
232. Pikachu.Copy !req
233. Look, the flame on Chimchar's tail.Copy !req
234. When Chimchar sleeps,
the flame goes out.Copy !req
235. Oh.Copy !req
236. I'll bet you two every Pokemon
in there WANTS us to steal them.Copy !req
237. The poor dears are just not
aware of it yet, that's all.Copy !req
238. Of course. Hey, that's the ticket.Copy !req
239. Wobbuffet!Copy !req
240. All set. I'm done with your Pokemon.Copy !req
241. Thanks a lot, Cynthia.Copy !req
242. Paul, your Pokemon are all
very well trained,Copy !req
243. and I'm especially impressed
with your Torterra.Copy !req
244. It's really quite amazing.Copy !req
245. Torterra was my very first Pokemon.Copy !req
246. That's incredible.
You raised it from a Turtwig?Copy !req
247. Right.Copy !req
248. We've travelled a lot.Copy !req
249. We made our way through
the Hoenn, Johto, and Kanto Leagues,Copy !req
250. but didn't win any of them.Copy !req
251. It was also during that time
I caught Weavile and Murkrow.Copy !req
252. What about Chimchar?Copy !req
253. After I came back to Sinnoh.Copy !req
254. You've done a lot with
Chimchar in such a short time.Copy !req
255. So what?Copy !req
256. After all, Chimchar didn't do such
a great job against Garchomp,Copy !req
257. if you remember.Copy !req
258. ASH GRUMBLESCopy !req
259. Until you got hit with that
Giga Impact,Copy !req
260. I don't think you cared how many of
your Pokemon took a fall.Copy !req
261. Your point?Copy !req
262. Come on! How do you think your
Pokemon felt about that?Copy !req
263. Don't you get it, Paul? Winning that
way's only a win for YOU!Copy !req
264. Oh, give me a break, a win is a win.Copy !req
265. No way! The only real win is when
you get it along with your Pokemon.Copy !req
266. Why don't you care about
your Pokemon?Copy !req
267. Cos then they'll get spoiled.Copy !req
268. And Chimchar's the perfect example
of exactly what I mean -Copy !req
269. a spoiled Pokemon who doesn't
try hard enough.Copy !req
270. Well, you're wrong.Copy !req
271. You've got to support your Pokemon,
then they'll support you.Copy !req
272. Pathetic.Copy !req
273. What? What counts in a battleCopy !req
274. is the bond between you and
your Pokemon.Copy !req
275. You'll never win your way!
Pika-pika!Copy !req
276. You just keep doing things your way.Copy !req
277. I'll become stronger
any way I choose.Copy !req
278. You want to get stronger?Copy !req
279. Huh? Huh?Copy !req
280. If you do, there's something
I want you to see.Copy !req
281. Huh? Pika?Copy !req
282. The words that are written here
completely changed my life.Copy !req
283. Listen while I read them.Copy !req
284. "When every life meets another life,
something will be born."Copy !req
285. When every life...Copy !req
286. .. meets another life...Copy !req
287. .. something will be born?Copy !req
288. When I was younger, I used to
dream of nothing other than becomingCopy !req
289. powerful through being victorious in
battle, and so I trained endlessly.Copy !req
290. Then I discovered that even
the same types of PokemonCopy !req
291. have unique personalities.Copy !req
292. It was at that moment I decided
I wanted to get to know eachCopy !req
293. and every one of them better.Copy !req
294. And then, after meeting more
and more Pokemon, learning more ofCopy !req
295. their ways, something completely new
began to stir deep within my soul.Copy !req
296. I knew meeting new Pokemon was
just like meeting new people.Copy !req
297. I'm sure because of our
meeting todayCopy !req
298. something powerful has been
placed in each one of us.Copy !req
299. Something important,
something that will make usCopy !req
300. stronger in our own ways.Copy !req
301. My desire to learn about Pokemon
has spawned a dream -Copy !req
302. that some day I'll actually meet
the legendary Dialga and Palkia.Copy !req
303. Then perhaps I'll be able to travelCopy !req
304. back to the source and find the
timeless origin of all Pokemon.Copy !req
305. It would be amazing to meet
Dialga and Palkia.Copy !req
306. It sure would. Yes.Copy !req
307. Chimchar seems totally tuckered.Copy !req
308. No wonder.
The rigours of twerp ownership.Copy !req
309. It's time to lift this poor lug
out of its lousy life.Copy !req
310. Matter of fact, we're going to give
all of these guys a lift.Copy !req
311. Hello? Excuse me,
but what are you doing here?Copy !req
312. THEY SHRIEKCopy !req
313. Hey, Sandman!Copy !req
314. You grab Chimchar, let's run!Copy !req
315. Grabbing ho.Copy !req
316. Come back! That's not your Chimchar!Copy !req
317. Huh?Copy !req
318. Chimchar?Copy !req
319. That's Paul's!
And Team Rocket's got him!Copy !req
320. Stop!Copy !req
321. A gang of twerps.Copy !req
322. And that
top-of-the-line trainer babe.Copy !req
323. Give Chimchar back!
Or you'll be sorry!Copy !req
324. She runs, she jumps.Copy !req
325. Now you take your lumps.Copy !req
326. Pika! Oh, dear.Copy !req
327. I'll take that as a compliment.Copy !req
328. Any "dear" from you dopes means
"fear" to us.Copy !req
329. Chimchar.Copy !req
330. Little Chimmy woke up.Copy !req
331. Welcome to our world.Copy !req
332. Bringing chaos at a break-neck pace.Copy !req
333. Dashing all hope,
putting fear in its pathetic place.Copy !req
334. Mess with Team Rocket,
we're in your face.Copy !req
335. Char!Copy !req
336. We get it.Copy !req
337. All right, Staravia!Copy !req
338. Ursaring, stand by!Copy !req
339. URSARING ROARSCopy !req
340. Ursaring? From Bewilder Forest?Copy !req
341. Hyper Beam.Copy !req
342. Every time we turn around
we get burned!Copy !req
343. Will you stop with the fire jokes?Copy !req
344. Hey, kids, know of a red-hot Pokemon
we can strike a real match with?Copy !req
345. Wobbuffet!Copy !req
346. We're blasting off again!Copy !req
347. Chim?Copy !req
348. Look, I don't care if you did get
injured, to be captured...Copy !req
349. .. useless!Copy !req
350. Chimchar.Copy !req
351. How could you be so mean?Copy !req
352. Chimchar was sleeping
when Team Rocket grabbed it!Copy !req
353. All right, enough.Copy !req
354. The important thing now is
Chimchar's safe and sound.Copy !req
355. Dear, sweet Chimchar.Copy !req
356. You're right. Of course that's
the only thing that mattersCopy !req
357. at this point, I know.Copy !req
358. I agree.Copy !req
359. You bet, Chimchar. Pika-pika.Copy !req
360. You know, Paul, for the sake of
your Pokemon,Copy !req
361. you should spend the night
at the Pokemon Centre.Copy !req
362. Huh?Copy !req
363. You want to get stronger,
too, right?Copy !req
364. Hm. Well, all right.Copy !req
365. This newsflash, here at
the ancient ruins in Celestic Town,Copy !req
366. the Lustrous Orb related to the
legendary Pokemon PalkiaCopy !req
367. has been discovered.Copy !req
368. Lustrous? Like the Adamant Orb?Copy !req
369. They finally found it!Copy !req
370. The Lustrous Orb is the companion
of the magnificent Adamant OrbCopy !req
371. currently on exhibit in Eterna City,Copy !req
372. and is said to increase
the powers of Palkia.Copy !req
373. With this discovery, scientists hope
to learn much moreCopy !req
374. about the legend of Sinnoh
space and time.Copy !req
375. Now I know where I'm
travelling to next.Copy !req
376. Celestic Town, is that right?Copy !req
377. Right.Copy !req
378. You know, I'm still not really sure
just what you were talking aboutCopy !req
379. back there, but I do know
I love PokemonCopy !req
380. just as much as you do, Cynthia.Copy !req
381. Good. And that's all you need
to knowCopy !req
382. to become stronger in your own way.Copy !req
383. Right. Pika-pika.Copy !req
384. All right, then, be careful
on the rest of your journey.Copy !req
385. We will.Copy !req
386. Goodbye. Goodbye.Copy !req
387. Proving to be a true
champion and a generous friend, too,Copy !req
388. it looks as though Cynthia may have
touched the hearts and mindsCopy !req
389. of both Ash and Paul, not to mention
the rest of our heroes.Copy !req
390. And with Hearthome City soon on the
horizon, the journey continues.Copy !req
