"NARRATOR:" "Ash, Brock and Misty continue their journey to Silver Town... where Ash's dream of competing... in the Johto League's Silver Conference will finally come true." "But as they approach Mount Silver... there's still one stop to make-- returning the Larvitar... entrusted to them by Professor Elm... to its birthplace." "We must be inside the Pokémon preserve by now." "Probably right." "Look, Larvitar... this is where you were born." "Do you recognize anything?" "Lar!" "Larvitar's turned into one happy Pokémon." "Yeah, it finally trusts all of us." "Pi pika!" "Larvitar, that looks great!" "[Larvitar grunts]" "Huh?" "Toge?" "Remember it used to harden at the slightest thing I ever said to it?" "Now it knows..." "we're friends." "Lar." "Up there should be the Pokémon preserve... run by Ranger Mason... but I can't tell which side of the bridge it's on." "Lar!" "[All gasp]" "Hey, Larvitar!" "Wait up!" "Larvitar!" "Larvitar!" "misty:" "Guess we're going to that side." "Pokémon!" "No time to question my moves I stick to the path that I choose" "Me and my friends are gonna do it right" "You'll never see us run away from a fight" "To be a master is my dream" "All I've got to do is believe -l believe I've got a chance to win" "l'm on my way to victory" "Pokémon!" "I can be a champion if I just believe" "l'm on a master quest" "Master quest" "l want the whole world to see" "That I believe I'm gonna be the very best" "'Cause all I've got to do is believe in me" "Pokémon!" "La-a-a-ar!" "This is the happiest I've ever seen Larvitar." "Pika." "I wonder if Larvitar knows that this is home... even when it was still just an egg... when it was stolen away from here." "Yeah but it could still see and feel all kinds of things... that were going on around it." "I bet it recognized home right away." "BROCK:" "That makes sense." "Pikachu." "Togeprrri!" "Hey, Braggo!" "There's a Larvitar, dead ahead!" "And let's grab those other two Pokémon, too." "No need to rush these things, Blurt." "Haste makes waste." "I've got a better idea." "BOTH:" "That's why you're the boss!" "Hmm." "True." "[Rumbling]" "What was that sound?" "Pika." "I think it was some kind of Pokémon." "If that's a Pokémon, it sounds like an awful big one." "Toge." "[Rumbling]" "Whoa, it's louder." "That means it's getting closer." "And it doesn't sound very friendly." "Lar!" "Lar!" "[Roars]" "Oh, wow!" "Tyranitar!" "Let's see!" "COMPUTER:" "Tyranitar-- the armor Pokémon." "Tyranitar has a heavily armored body that can withstand powerful attacks... and is able to crush a mountain with one hand." "Ohh!" "Look at that scar on it!" "Didn't the one we saw in Larvitar's thoughts have a scar just like that?" "You're right!" "It's the same scar!" "That means this is Larvitar's mother!" "Larvitar, you hear that?" "That's your mom, Larvitar!" "Pikachu!" "Togeprrri!" "Lar?" "Lar." "[Groans]" "Don't be afraid." "Go on over to her." "[Roars]" "Whoa!" "Pika!" "Uhh!" "Why did it attack us like that?" "Pika pika!" "[Growls] lt sees us with Larvitar, so I bet it thinks... we're the ones who stole the egg in the first place!" "Ohh!" "Oh, no!" "[Roars]" "Pika!" "Hold on, Tyranitar!" "Larvitar's with us... because we're friends." "That's why we brought it back here." "Pika pika!" "That's right!" "Can't you see we're trying to help?" "Toge toge." "[Growling]" "BROCK:" "It's no use!" "She's an angry mom!" "Well, all right, then." "There's no other choice." "Run!" "Pika!" "Lar!" "Oh, no." "Larvitar's following us, too!" "Huh?" "Pika?" "Lar!" "Larvitar, you have to go back to your mom!" "Pika pika!" "Lar!" "Go back, Larvitar!" "ALL:" "Aaaaah!" "Pika!" "[Roaring]" "Just keep that Tyranitar in your sights, Blurt." "I'm locked right in on it, boss." "Should I fire the Pokébag?" "Negative." "That thing has gotten the best of us too many times already." "Good things come to those who wait." "BOTH:" "Boss, that was well said!" "Hmm. I know." "Aaaaah!" "Pika!" "Tyranitar!" "Quit chasing us!" "I promise we're not the ones who stole your egg!" "Pikachu!" "Larvitar, tell your mom that we're your friends." "Lar!" "[Roaring]" "Aaah!" "Lar." "[Growls]" "Lar...vi...tar." "Lar." "La-a-a-a-a..." "Aaaah!" "Larvitar's screech attack!" "...a-a-a-a-ar!" "La-a-a-a..." "Lar?" "...a-a-ar-- Lar?" "All right, then." "Tyranitar, this Larvitar is your child." "And the only reason we came here... was so that we could bring it back to you." "Pikachu." "Lar?" "Lar!" "It looks like Tyranitar's finally figured it out." "That's good." "What a relief." "Pikachu." "Togeprrri!" "Tyranitar, dead center!" "Well, from this distance, you'll hit the nail on the head." "Fire the jumbo Pokébag!" "Aye aye!" "[All gasp]" "[Growls]" "Lar?" "Where did that thing come from?" "voice ON SPEAKER:" "Ha ha ha ha!" "Huh?" "From here to eternity!" "In other words, the bag is ours." "And you can just forget about trying to free Tyranitar." "That genius Pokébag I invented is escape-proof." "With my coaching, a perfect poaching." "BOTH:" "You're brilliant, boss!" "Yes, so true." "These clowns look familiar somehow." "[All gasp]" "misty:" "You're right!" "They're the ones Larvitar showed to us earlier!" "Lar!" "ASH:" "You're the no-good poachers that stole Larvitar... when it was still just an egg!" "LARVlTAR:" "Lar!" "Don't judge a book by its cover." "But yes, that's us." "I'm Braggo." "What I'm known for ls speaking in phrase." "And I'm Chico, criminal equipment inventor." "There's nothing bad I can't invent." "My name's Blurt, and I'm the strong, silent type." "Except I talk a lot and break stuff by mistake." "Together we're-- Huhh!" "Ha ha ha ha!" "The Pokémon Poacher Brothers!" "jessie:" "Oh, brother." "Who do these poacher brothers think they are, anyway?" "They're just copying our whole routine... right down to our trademark pose!" "You have to admit, though, pretty impressive... the way they bagged and tagged that big Tyranitar." "Plus, that machine is first-class hardware." "Gotta admit, I'm jealous." "And their leader seems really smart." "Did you hear how he can utilize a saying... and sometimes speak in rhyme?" "I can do all of that phrase gibberish, too." "Now, uh, um, um..." "Here!" "I've got one!" "Clamdiggers comb the hair of us... fighting the brave asparagus." "MEOWTH:" "Well, it's a saying, sort of... but isn't it supposed to also make sense?" "Wobbuffet!" "Nobody asked you!" "These guys make us look bad." "And with our track record lately, that ain't too hard to pull off." "And I'm now reminded of a phrase-- "lf you can't beat 'em, join 'em."" "Hmm?" "!" "Join up with the poachers?" "Or, at least we tell them we are... and when they're not looking, we rob them blind." "Great idea!" "A good, evil plan!" "Wobbuffet!" "BRAGGO:" "So, you're telling me... this is the Larvitar that hatched from that egg we stole?" "Then it's thanks to you guys... the Tyranitar was so distracted and easy to catch!" "Heh!" "We owe you a big fat thank you!" "You let that Tyranitar go right now, you lousy poachers!" "l feel your pain." "chico AND BLURT:" "Mm-hmm." "But your request is quite insane." "Mm-hmm!" "A Pokémon hunter never releases his catch until he's found a buyer." "Maybe you guys want to buy the Tyranitar back." "Yeah, why don't you put your money where your mouth is, brats!" "You three are awful." "Yeah, and what you're doing is illegal, too." "Toge, Togeprrri!" "Lar!" "Well, there's no time like the present." "Chico?" "Right, boss." "This time..." "Larvitar!" "Lar!" "Look out!" "Pika!" "Lar!" "[Both gasp]" "Uhh!" "Unh!" "Ash!" "Ash!" "Boss, the preserve ranger is headed right for us." "Let's run, right?" "Right." "Discretion is the better part of valor." "So well-spoken!" "Mmm, so true." "BRAGGO ON SPEAKER:" "Run today, live to fight another day!" "No, you won't!" "Go, Crobat!" "Follow them!" "Cro!" "Report back where they've gone!" "Cro." "Excuse me." "What are you people doing in the Pokémon preserve?" "This area is strictly off limits to the general public." "Whoa!" "We know we're not supposed to" "Hey." "Hello there." "My name is Brock." "You wouldn't happen to be Ranger Mason, would you..." "of the Pokémon preserve?" "Yes, I am." "I knew it!" "It was destiny that we'd meet!" "As soon as Professor Elm gave us this errand, I knew it!" "Ahh, right." "So you must be the ones who are bringing back the Larvitar." "Yes, that's us!" "Huh?" "I'm fascinated that someone so young and beautiful... could already be a Pokémon preserve ranger." "Maybe we could get together somewhere quiet, just you and me... and talk about your amazing Pokémon career." "No, thanks." "Ohh." "So, this must be the Larvitar." "Yes, but the problem now is Larvitar's mother... was just captured by poachers and taken away." "Are you sure about that?" "Yes, it happened, but it's under control." "Huh?" "l cleverly sent my Crobat... to follow them back to their hideout and report back... so soon we'll know exactly where the poachers went with that Tyranitar." "Well, I appreciate the help." "You see what a great team we'll make together?" "Huh?" "Toge?" "[Ash grunting]" "Uhh That wasn't fun." "How did you guys get here?" "You must've crossed the bridge by mistake." "If you had just stayed on the road, you would have ended up... right at the Pokémon Preservation Center." "And if we had, then you and I... could have been brought together even sooner." "There's no one to blame." "What a crying shame." "Oh, no, you don't, Brock." "Don't start imitating the rotten leader of those awful poachers." "Sorry. lt wasn't even good." "If you're talking about Braggo the Pokémon poacher... he's a plague upon the land." "This is now the straw that breaks the camel's back." "Whoa." "Now you're doing it." "l'm sorry." "[Groaning]" "Uh, Ash?" "Don't tell me you were just about to come up... with some silly phrase of your own." "Ahh..." "Don't bother." "Uhh!" "Whoever smelt it dealt it!" "What?" "l knew it." "Toge, Togeprrri!" "Pika pi." "Huh?" "Lar." "Larvitar?" "You're sad about your mother, huh?" "Well, you don't have to worry about that." "We're gonna find those poachers, and then we'll get your mother back." "l promise!" "Pikachu!" "Lar." "He's right." "I'm here to help." "Lar!" "Huh?" "Oh, yeah." "It hardens sometimes." "Toge, toge." "Why?" "Did I make it harden?" "It takes a while for this Larvitar to get used to people." "I see." "Braggo, we want to become your students." "TEAM ROCKET:" "Please consider us worthy!" "Yes. I sit in silent thought." "Which reminds me-- my neck is all cramped up." "Mine is, too." "And my brain hurts." "Let us help you with that." "How is that, Master Braggo?" "Chico, your inventions are brilliant." "Heh heh heh!" "Hey, Blurt, you have such nice muscle tone." "Should we let 'em join?" "I've always wanted someone I could boss around." "They could come in handy, like for cleaning' and stuff." "Cro." "BRAGGO:" "Like an ark in the time of a flood." "Very well, we'll take you on." ",TEAM ROCKET:" "Oh, thank you thank you, thank you!" "For your first task, I want you to capture the Pikachu and Larvitar... from those kids just south of here." "It shouldn't be too hard." "We'll even let you borrow the poaching machine." "Just don't break it, huh?" "TEAM ROCKET:" "Aye aye, sirs!" "Let's go poach, my comrades!" "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "This has power everything." "Check out the stereo!" "And the best part is, we got it for nothing!" "Can you believe those suckers let us just drive away with it?" "Maybe we should paint it." "And put on chrome wheels!" "We're gonna be kings of the road!" "Wobbuffet!" "jessie:" "Whoo-hoo!" "Boss, are you sure we ought to trust those guys?" "What if they don't come back with our machine?" "I'm pretty much done poaching in these woods, anyway." "Now that we've caught Tyranitar, there's not much left of any value." "As for those three losers, all they'll do is... draw the preserve ranger's attention and help us make our escape." "Survival of the fittest." "Excellent!" "[Growling]" "Struggling is useless." "The harder you struggle... against the Pokébag, the tighter the straps get." "We can sell this Tyranitar for plenty." "Hit the jackpot." "BOTH:" "You're a criminal mastermind!" "Ha ha!" "You're right." "Cro!" "Crobat, did you find out where the poachers' hideout is?" "Cro!" "All right, let's go!" "Take us there!" "Yeah!" "Just hang on, Tyranitar." "We're on our way to bring you home." "Pika pika." "Who's that Pokémon?" "lt's Shuckle!" "Shuckle." "[All panting]" "jessie:" "Stop right there!" "What?" "Lar?" "jessie:" "Prepare for trouble, 'cause it has approached!" "JAMES:" "And make it double, or you'll be poached!" "To protect the world from devastation." "To unite all peoples within our nation." "To denounce the evils of truth and love." "To extend our reach to the stars above." "Jessie!" "James!" "Team Rocket poaching now at the speed of light!" "[Weakly] Surrender now or prepare to fight...fight..." "Yes, that's right!" "Wobbuffet!" "JAMES: ...fight." "Team Rocket!" "Pi Pikachu!" "What?" "Those guys aren't the poachers!" "No, but that's the machine they used to catch Tyranitar." "The real poachers are hiding it somewhere." "We've joined up with Braggo and his gang as apprentices." "To carry on in the long poaching tradition!" "Only for a while though, kind of like a summer job." "Now for our first poach." "We will..." "Capture Pikachu!" "Wobbuffet!" "OK, launch the Pokébag!" "Pikachu, use your thunderbolt!" "Pika..." "Croconaw, hydropump!" "Crow!" "Chu-u-u-u-u!" "It's coming back at us!" "Meowth, turn it back around!" "Tell me how!" "Wobbuff" "ALL:" "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" "BRAGGO:" "I spy three buffoons in the sky." "Kind of them to leave my machine behind, though." "Ha!" "[All gasp]" "How is that thing moving without Team Rocket there?" "Pika!" "Pikachu!" "Croconaw!" "chico:" "Brrrr, ha ha ha!" "[All gasp]" "See, my poaching machine can also be run by remote control." "Now we'd like to thank you for your small contribution." "Those are the real poachers, Ranger Mason!" "So I see." "Well, it's time to bid adieu." "l hear you!" "ALL:" "Aaaah!" "Lar!" "ALL:" "Uhh!" "This is bad." "BRAGGO:" "Not a bad haul for one day's work." "Let's take our Pokémon and hit the road, Jack." "chico AND BLURT:" "Right, boss." "Gotta do something quick, or they'll be gone for good." "Hey, I know!" "Larvitar, lt's up to you to save your mother!" "Lar." "I know you feel... like you never had a mother, but now you know you do," "And you can still be together if you just use your power to help her!" "Lar." "[Growls] I know you can do it." "La-a-a-a-a..." "[All screaming]" "What's that awful sound?" "My brain's hurting again!" "Head for the hills, Chico!" "l hear you." "...a-a-a-a-ar!" "[Growls]" "BRAGGO:" "What now?" "Yeah!" "Tyranitar's gonna shake things up!" "I'll bet hearing her child's voice has really brought out the anger." "[Growling]" "Larvitar!" "[Growling]" "Ha ha ha ha!" "Struggling won't do you any good." "Yeah, tearing open that Pokébag's impossible." "[Roaring]" "Uh, I thought you said that nothing's impossible." "Don't take me literally." "Chico?" "Show them what happens to prisoners who won't go quietly." "Coming up." "Ay!" "[Roaring]" "Lar!" "Huh?" "How can you do that when it can't defend itself?" "Stop that!" "[Roaring]" "Lar!" "Croconaw!" "Pika!" "[Roaring]" "BRAGGO:" "Aah!" "[All scream]" "Ahh!" "Lar!" "Lar!" "It worked!" "After their remote control broke, they lost their hold on everyone!" "Thanks to Tyranitar." "Toge toge." "Amazing." "Ha ha!" "I never knew Tyranitar was such an incredible Pokémon!" "[Growls]" "Lar." "[Poachers groaning]" "Uhh!" "Don't mess with fire, or you will get burned!" "Let's go get 'em!" "chico AND BLURT:" "Yeah!" "Huh?" "Huh?" "BRAGGO ON SPEAKER:" "Time to cash in your chips!" "[All scream]" "Larvita-a-a-ar!" "[Roars]" "Croconaw!" "Pika!" "Pikachu!" "Uhh!" "Pika pi!" "Croconaw!" "Leave it to me, Ranger!" "Huh?" "Over here!" "Over here!" "Over here!" "Uhh!" "[All groan]" "That's...painful." "chico AND BLURT:" "Yes." "Well said...again." "Uhh!" "True." "[Growls]" "Lar." "[Growls]" "Lar!" "Lar!" "Larvitar!" "Larvitar!" "Larvitar!" "[Growls]" "Larvitar." "Lar." "Lar." "Mother and child reunited." "Larvitar's returned to its home and to its long-lost family." "l'm so happy for them." "Pikachu." "Togeprrri!" "[All groaning] I've been after these poachers a long time, Ash... and thanks to you and your friends, they're finally caught." "I really appreciate it." "You're welcome, Ranger Mason, but we didn't do it." "Larvitar's really the one who made it all happen." "Ha. lsn't that right?" "Lar?" "I guess that's true." "So, Larvitar, thank you." "Lar!" "Lar!" "Lar!" "Hey!" "This time when Ranger Mason spoke to it, it didn't harden." "I guess it's gained some self-confidence." "Ranger Mason!" "[All gasp] I've gained a new confidence, too, darling." "Now I'm ready to stand by your side here in the forest... and together, we'll make the most incredible ranger duo ever" "OK, Ranger Brock." "Use some of that new confidence to find the way to Silver Town." "Prrrri!" "Lar." "[Groans]" "MASON:" "Just follow the river road... and it will take you right to Silver Town." "I know you're going to do well in the Silver Conference, Ash." "Thanks." "lt was really great to meet you." "Yeah!" "See you" "Pika pika!" "Be careful!" "See you again someday!" "Bye, Ash!" "Bye, Brock!" "Croconaw!" "Don't forget about me, Ranger Mason!" "You take care!" "Bye." "Larvitar!" "Huh?" "Hey, listen!" "BROCK:" "Larvitar and Tyranitar are saying good-bye, too." "Lar!" "Lar!" "[Growls]" "Good-bye, Larvitar." "We'll miss you!" "You two take care of each other!" "Togeprrri!" "Lar!" "Lar!" "Have a great life, Larvitar!" "I'll never forget all the fun stuff we did together!" "Pika pika!" "NARRATOR:" "With fond memories in their hearts..." "Ash and his friends bid farewell... to Larvitar and Tyranitar, and head off toward Silver Town." "I'm on a master quest" "Pokémon!" "OK." "Can either of you explain to me how we ended up here?" "Who cares how it happened?" "I just want to get down from here." "Yeah." "Down would be good, except that..." "it usually involves a hard landing." "Wobbuffet!" "There's no time to question my moves I stick to the path that I choose" "Me and my friends are gonna do it right" "To be a master is my dream" "All I've got to do is believe -l believe" "l'm on a master quest" "Master quest" "l want the whole world to see" "That I believe I'm gonna be the very best" "'Cause all I've got to do is believe in me" "Pokémon!"
