"ZOROARK MASTER OF ILLUSIONS" "As Ash's quest to become a Pokemon Master continues, our heroes have decided to take a shortcut to the Pokemon Backer Championship in Crown City." "However, ..." "Hey Brock..." "You sure this is the right way?" "Of course I am, Ash." "And that means we're lost, right?" "Not to worry, Dawn." "Check out the Beautifly!" "There gorgeous." "You know what, if we haven't gotten lost, we would never seen them." "Yeah!" "So that means, we are lost, after all, right?" "You shouldn't tell a lie." "Point taken." "The twerps are more lost, then they normally are." "The result of which is, that we'll get to Crown City before they do." "Three legendary Pokemon caught, before they say "boo"!" "It's a Skiploom." "Something funny?" "Pikachu, what's up?" "Look at that." "Hey, knock it off!" "Yeah, you!" "There's nothing brave about ganging up like that!" "Infernape, I choose you!" "Mamoswine, help out!" "Bullying is wrong!" "Infernape, return!" "Thanks, Mamoswine." "I'm glad we avoided a fight." "Yeah." "I wouldn't have needed your help, anyway." "Excuse me, but you were just about to get pushed off of a cliff, right there." "His right." "That's one tough Pokemon." "You talked!" "?" "Yeah." "So, I did." "That's telepathy." "Mima told me, I should never talk to strangers." "Too late." "I've never seen this kinda Pokemon." "Have you Brock?" "No, never." "I'm going to that city, down there." "Hey, that's Crown City!" "So, that's it." "I'm going to save Mima." "But who's Mima?" "Mima's Mima." "So, this Mima, you're trying to save, is in Crown City?" "Mima was trying to protect me and wound up getting caught." "Some really bad people brought us here from across the sea." "You mean, they did it against your will?" "Then what?" "The put us on a flying boat." "You mean an airplane?" "Then, I fell of the boat." "So you escaped." "Yeah, let's do this!" "Yeah!" "All right, so I'll help you out." "Me too." "Count me in." "Ok, I guess, I can let you be my friends." "No way!" "Well, obviously, it can change it's appearance." "Come on." "Look, a tail." "I like this better." "Zoroark, your mission begins." "Go and show your illusions to the people of the city." "Mr. Kodai." "Dispatching remote cameras." "Good." "Now, it's show time." "See, mommy, you see?" "Tammy, morning!" "Oh, morning." "So, the Coronet Fighters are gonna win, for sure!" "Watch this." "Coronet Fighters rock, roll, because they've got the winning heart and soul!" "Coronet Fighters in control!" "Oh, my, she's perky." "Good morning, Tammy." "You know, tomorrow is..." "There's no time for that now!" "What's wrong?" "Wrong?" "Celebi has finally come back to the city!" "It that true?" "Really." "It's been years, since all the all the cities trees and flowers were layed to waste." "Yes, more then 20 years." "Thau should be illegal before noon." "Some short night." "I vote to in pitch the sun." "Who's that Pokemon?" "I'm clueless." "Take the form of Entei, Raikou and Suicune!" "Strike fear into the hearts of the citizens!" "Check that out!" "We've cited a Suicune." "It practically landed in my lap." "My kinda sap." "Suicune?" "Help!" "What's going on here?" "!" "Camera 1, zoom in on Suicune." "Yes, sir." "And camera 2 on the fleeing people." "Understood." "Now, give me a composite shot." "I'm sure, you don't want me to hurt Zoroark." "Suicune, don't fly the coop like that." "Entei!" "All right, time for my apology." "Everyone, inside!" "Attention, all Crown City citizens!" "The following is an urgent communication from the Kodai Network Group." "And now, her's president Grings Kodai." "I'd like to take this opportunity, to sincerely apologize to you all." "The three legendary Pokemon, I've brought here for you," "Entei, Raikou and Suicune, are now controlled by the evil Pokemon" "Zoroark." "The legendary Pokemon are terrorizing your city!" "Your citizens are now in extreme danger!" "Again, my most sincere apologize." "We will recapture them!" "That you can be sure of." "But for now, I order all to leave the city." "All right, move along, please." "This announcement is for all people on route to the Pokemon Baker Match!" "The old town in Crown City is officially of limits and access will not be permitted!" "Officer Jenny." "You can't deny my access to you heart!" "Officer, what's happened?" "It's Zoroark." "A bad Pokemon, controlling Entei, Raikou and Suicune as they wreak havoc in the city." "Legendary Pokemon are doing that?" "It's true, I saw it with my own eyes!" "It's just horrible!" "But what's gonna happen with the Pokemon Baker Match?" "It won't be canceled will it?" "We're working hard to solve th problem, so, please, don't worry." "Thank goodness for that!" "Zoroark is a Pokemon, raging with evil." "We're in great danger here." "Because of this, no one will be allowed to enter the city, until recapture is complete." "Zoroark." "Mima!" "That's my Mima!" "Hold on!" "Your Mima's the Pokemon," "Zoroark, who's terrorizing the city?" "Mima escaped from the bad people and is looking for me!" "I'm sure of it!" "Hey!" "Hang on!" "Look, Kodai's the bad guy!" "So, the bad person, you've been talking about, is the Kodai?" "That's him!" "Hey, keep it down." "I wanna hear about it." "All of it." "I really love my twin brother, but sometimes he'll just come out and say the craziest things." "Twin brother, huh?" "And one with the tail, no less." "A Zorua!" "Zorua?" "An able to talk." "What a surprise." "You've seen a Zorua before?" "Zorua is the pre-evolved form of Zoroark." "Celebi presence confirmed." "It's just as I saw in my vision." "The Time Ripple must be in Crown City." "Mr. Kodai!" "The Time Ripple!" "And the countdown clock!" "My vision..." "My vision has become clouded!" "I must be reaching my limit!" "Who are these people?" "What?" "That's..." "I knew it!" "The Time Ripple will be mine!" "It's a vision of the future?" "That's right, Rowena." "What are you seeing?" "Faces of people, trying to stop me." "So, Kodai was involved in the whole thing." "Only thing we wanna do, is bring Zorua back to Zoroark and fast." "I'm gonna go find my Mima." "Right, I'll help anyway I can." "Awesome, thanks!" "Hey, I'm Ash and this is my partner, Pikachu." "My name is Dawn and this is Piplop." "I'm Brock." "The name's Karl." "I'm a journalist." "I had a hunch, Kodai has been keeping some kinda secret and I've been investigating it." "What's that?" "It connects to the old part of the city." "The truth is, Crown City is my home town." "Bronzor, use Flash!" "Grings Kodai has been called "The man who can see into the future"." "Future?" "And it sure seems that way." "Kodai has had an incredible series of business successes." "Like he knows what's going to happen." "He now has control over the main stream media." "The word on the street is, in order to get, what he wants, there's absolutely nothing he won't do." "But, what's Kodai doing this time?" "By controlling Zoroark?" "Beats me." "But he's a bad man!" "Let's hurry!" "Hey, don't you dare change into me!" "Good." "It appears, that the old town is completely deserted." "Good, I'm heading there now." "Sir!" "Zoroark's mission is complete." "Recapture it." "Understood." "Zoroak's recapture, complete." "Now, transferring to air ship." "No fair, getting Zoroark was our game!" "Who were, those greedy rascals?" "Strange ones." "But the legendary Pokemon trio's still prime for plucking'." "That's three for me, so shall we make history?" "Rowena, continue transferring the footage." "As you wish." "I was afraid he'd never leave." "Ok, maybe now, I can get some real work done." "Yes, it won't be long now." "Thank you, Bronzor." "Wow, what a pretty place." "Sure is." "Hey, Karl, isn't that Celebi?" "Right." "They say, that Celebi sometimes comes here to visit." "Take a look." "It's like the city in forest coexist in perfect harmony." "Yeah, but it wasn't always this way." "Twenty years ago, almost all of the trees and flower here died off." "How did that happen?" "No, one knows." "Anyway..." "It was a terrible time." "But working together, people and Pokemon, finally brought Crown City back to it's beautiful life." "You could never tell, that things were once so bad." "I can smell Mima." "Really?" "Are you sure?" "Mima was here, for sure." "I told you before, not me!" "Thank you." "Mima!" "I'm over here!" "Mima!" "Hey, don't worry." "Mima's looking for you too," "I'm sure." "It's not gonna be very much longer." "Right." "Yeah, I can feel it." "That's weird." "It's not destroyed." "You're right." "But, I saw Entei on the news." "What does it mean?" "Kodai did this." "He manipulated the TV news images." "Fake video?" "Zoroark has the power to take the shape of the legendary Pokemon." "So, you mean, legendary Pokemon aren't really here?" "Then Kodai tricked us." "Mima's scent is this way." "Ok, let's go!" "Zoroark is an evil Pokemon." "Until it is captured, no one will be allowed to enter the city." "Thanks you for your cooperation." "My vision of the future has been proven correct." "This is Rowena, sir." "Beginning today, she'll be your executive secretary." "It's an honor, sir." "Very good!" "Mr. Kodai!" "Don't worry." "What is this?" "I need more clarity." "The Time Ripple!" "No, don't stop!" "I still can't see the precise location of the Time Ripple!" "It's been quite a long time, since Kodai last had a future vision." "A future vision?" "I'm losing my power!" "The Time Ripple appears." "It's the day before the Pokemon Baker Championship begins." "Zoroark and the legendary Pokemon are running wild." "And I'm there too." "I must find it." "Before the Time Ripple disappears." "The countdown clocks." "There all around the city." "And the Time Ripple must be near one of them." "Shuppet, use Foresight!" "Not here." "Twenty more spots." "So they showed up after all!" "Goone, do you copy?" "Sir!" "There's a little problem, I want you to take care of." "Sir!" "Mima's scent is here too." "Hey, Karl, what's that a statue of?" "The city's guardian protectors." "Guardian protectors?" "When Crown City was in danger in ancient times, it is said, that Entei, Raikou and Suicune, came here to rescue it and its people." "There statues are all over the city." "And to think Celebi comes here, as well." "Sad to know, it's being hurt." "That's still in one piece too." "Mima's this way!" "Zorua!" "...controlled by the dark Pokemon, Zoroark, and are now running amok." "It's all lies!" "No one will be allowed to enter the city, until we capture it..." "Who do you think you are?" "I'm strong, you know?" "I'm... strong..." "stay..." "You ok?" "Come on!" "Cut it out!" "Yeah, all right!" "Been a long time, Mightyena." "Ok, ok..." "Oh, my, Karl!" "It really is you." "Hey there, grandpa." "Great to see you." "My dear Karl, such a long time." "Tammy!" "Zorua!" "This little one is your friend?" "Tangrowth's sleep powder worked a little to well." "I'm sorry." "Got to find Mima." "Entei, Raikou and Suicune are now controlled by the evil Pokemon Zoroark." "Those three are terrorizing your city." "Citiz..." "Zoroark must have changed into the shape of those legendary Pokemon." "The city hasn't been destroyed." "So, this whole event was nothing but a trick?" "I knew all along, that our guardian protectors wouldn't do any of this." "Yeah, Kodai's the only bad guy." "And of course, that means," "Zoroark is innocent too." "You're right." "But, why didn't the two of you evacuate?" "The truth is, neither one of us, could bear the thought of leaving our beautiful home." "And after all," "Celebi finally just returned, after so long." "Celebi's here?" "Are you sure?" "Tangrowth and I, both saw it with our very own eyes." "Right, see it's been twenty long years, since the day, when all our lush greenery died and that's when Celebi stopped coming back to visit." "Mima." "Mima!" "Mima's calling me!" "Zorua." "Zorua, calm down!" "Mima!" "Where's my Mima?" "Pikachu!" "Piplop!" "Follow me!" "What do you want?" "I've got no reason to fight you." "Out of my way!" "I'm gonna go find my Mima!" "Look at that!" "The berries." "That's for me?" "I surprised you." "No, I can't fly." "I think, I'll let you be my friend too." "Come on, you can help me look for Mima." "Let's go!" "You see that?" "That Pokemon with Zorua?" "It looked like Celebi." "Of course!" "So, Celebi made the berries grow." "What do you think..." "Ash, no." "Are you ok?" "Not one of you, has the power to resist me." "It's you." "Kodai." "So, why did you lock us up?" "I don't know, who you are, and I couldn't care less." "But, I'm certain, I won't allow you to get in my way and that you can depend on." "What do you mean?" "I have the power to see the future." "Future?" "And all obstacles in my path." "And so, I must remove all of them." "No use." "But, Karl..." "Check out the wide load." "A legendary load, per chance." "I'll wager it's Entei, Raikou or Suicune." "Well, this time we have the element of surprise." "Words to the wise!" "No!" "Mima, where are you?" "Mima." "Mima, I miss you so much." "You're amazing." "It's kinda of like being curled up in Mima's fur." "So, his most important files are locked." "Now, what password, would he come up with?" "V-I-S-I-O-N." "On one try, that was almost to easy." "Books of ancient prophecies." "So that's it." "That explains everything." "Rowena!" "I'm heading back to Kodai's location, I'll be a bit longer." "Stay put, until our mission is complete." "Understood, sir." "My heart!" "That scared me." "What's that?" "Who are you?" "My name's Rowena." "Mr. Kodai's executive secretary." "Right, and I'm his mom." "I'm actually a news paper reporter, just like Karl." "I'm working undercover, right now." "Investigating Kodai." "Your on our side!" "Excellent!" "I had a feeling you'd show up." "My investigation's complete." "It's all here." "So, this is it." "You see, Kodai is trying to locate the Time Ripple." "Time..." "..." "Ripple?" "Grandpa told me about it." "It appears, when Celebi comes to visit is, from the future." "Right." "The Time Ripple is a temporary focal point that actually collects time energy." "The Time Ripple last for only about a day and in provides all the necessary energy for Celebi to be able to time travel." "Kodai wants that energy for himself, before it disappears." "Which he'll accomplish by absorbing it into his body." "Why would he wanna do that?" "So, he'll have the power to see into the future." "The future?" "Of course, remember, he said, he could do that." "It was twenty years ago, when Kodai gain the power to see into the future." "By deciphering the ancient texts," "Kodai was able to unlock the secrets of the prophets and he learned, that the Time Ripple actually contains the power to show people the future." "And so Kodai came here." "To the city, where Celebi is known to appear." "Shuppet, Foresight." "Finally, there it is!" "The Time Ripple!" "Don't let Celebi touch the Time Ripple." "I've learned, the Time Ripple disappears, when you touch it." "But, now it belongs to me." "I did it." "The future truly is all mine!" "So, the flow of energy was reversed and the trees and the flowers in the city withered and died and Kodai gained the power to see into the future." "Since that time, Kodai's plan has become reality." "So then, Kodai was the one responsible for killing all the cities greenery." "Not here!" "Is this the last of the countdown clocks, Mr. Kodai?" "Yes." "We've checked all the others." "Where is it?" "My visions never failed me before." "Mr. Kodai!" "It's Celebi." "But now, Kodai's power to see the future is fading." "And that's why, he so desperate to absorb the energy of the Time Ripple again." "I get it now." "Now, according to one of Kodai's visions, the Time Ripple is near a countdown clock." "So, needless to say, he's frantic to find it." "But, if Kodai finds the Time Ripple again,..." "Then the city will wither and die, like before." "You've got it." "We won't let that happen!" "Kodai's on the move again." "Zorua!" "So, this is where you've been hiding." "Be careful." "He's a very bad man." "So, you can talk!" "Yeah." "But, I never wanted to talk to you." "Then, stay out of the way." "My business is with Celebi." "What do you want?" "Now, Shuppet, Psychic, let's go!" "Celebi!" "Stay out of this!" "I won't let you hurt Celebi!" "Impudent app start." "Your powers of deceptions have grown." "But, they have no effect on me." "All right, Shuppet, Shadow Ball!" "Mima..." "Was that..." "All four on mess." "Yeah." "Except, there not lookin' quite the same as before." "Stop living in the past." "We've got us a one stop swipe." "Isn't that neat?" "Sweet!" "Perfect!" "My vision's unfolding just as I thought!" "Yes, the Time Ripple." "More!" "Show me more, now!" "Celebi!" "Cut it out!" "Suicune!" "Somethin' strange is up." "Those are the real three legendary Pokemon." "Guardian protectors." "That's right." "But, they must think, that Zoroark is the enemy." "Right." "We're in danger!" "Mr. Kodai." "I still want to see more." "Get them!" "Rowena!" "I knew it." "Sorry, I lied to you, Kodai." "The last paycheck..." "Forget about it." "Pikachu!" "Piplop!" "Celebi!" "Zorua!" "Those punks." "Mr. Kodai, what do we do now?" "I foresaw, that Rowena would betray me." "And I know, precisely, what will happen." "What's this?" "It's grandpa's workshop." "Your back!" "And you're all right." "Hey, Joe." "Hi, Tammy." "Celebi!" "So, Kodai was behind Crown City's disaster from twenty years ago too." "You'll be just fine." "I couldn't protect Celebi." "Not long, before you came back, we actually got a glimpse of the real Entei, Raikou and Suicune." "They must have sensed, that the city is in grave danger." "Yes, but there all convinced, that the enemy is Zoroark." "So, how can we get them to understand, that there wrong?" "Mima!" "Celebi!" "Take it easy, Celebi." "If we can somehow reach the Time Ripple, then Celebi should be just fine." "Yeah, but where is the Time Ripple?" "Kodai was searching around the vicinity of the countdown clocks." "But he had already checked them all." "So, you mean, Kodai's already gotten his hands on the Time Ripple?" "No, not yet." "The city's still lush and green." "The thing is, there's one other countdown clock." "Up there." "See, I'm the one, who designed them all." "It's in the Stadium." "Located among the trees, that were moved there from the city." "I placed the prototype there, to commemorate the Stadiums completion." "So, the Time Ripple must be there too." "And I'll be the one to reach it first!" "What's that?" "One of Kodai's robots." "But, what we just said..." "He heard all of it." "We've got to get to the Time Ripple." "Or what happened twenty years ago, will happen again." "It just can't!" "Tammy's right!" "So, we've got to get Celebi to the Time Ripple first." "Don't worry, Celebi." "I'll take you there myself." "I'm going." "Me too." "There's now way, I'd ever give up." "So, you can count me in too." "All right, let's go." "Wait a minute." "Kodai can see the future, right?" "That's why, we'll work together to change the future." "Taking this shortcut, should take us all to the Stadium before Kodai!" "You sure, your right this time, Brock?" "Trust me, no need to worry!" "I always trust you, Brock!" "What's this?" "There trapped in Zoroark's illusion." "Stop all this, at once, Zoroark!" "They made a mistake, that's all!" "The Stadium!" "It's right over there." "It's them!" "Ash and Pikachu, go on ahead!" "Good luck, you two!" "You go and deal with them, now!" "Right." "Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" "Mismagius, Psywave, quick!" "Celebi, hurry and fly to the Time Ripple!" "Stop Celebi!" "Don't let Celebi touch the Time Ripple!" "Now, Piplop!" "Whirlpool!" "Mamoswine!" "Hang tough, everyone!" "It's about time to finish you punks off!" "It's Zoroark!" "But how?" "Everyone, get back!" "Zorua, it's you!" "Use Psywave and Shadow Ball!" "You are a bad man!" "That's enough!" "Celebi." "Sorry, but Zorua managed to lead them away." "Come on, just a little further to the Time Ripple." "Guess, you still can't fly." "That's it!" "Mismagius, Psychic!" "Of course." "Celebi is hurt, that's why it has revealed itself." "Stop right there, Zoroark!" "Zorua!" "One step closer and this little one is no more." "I guess, there isn't much time left for me." "Shuppet, clean this up." "Zoroark!" "I've thoroughly enjoyed playing our little game of tag." "However, I already knew it would end this way!" "Stop, Kodai!" "All the trees and flowers will die!" "What do I care!" "So long, as my visionary powers grow, it's all worth it!" "So, you don't care what happens to Crown City?" "It's true, that twenty years ago, when I touched the Time Ripple," "Crown City withered." "But, no one knows a thing about that." "Just as no one will know what I've done today." "All anyone knows is, that I'm doing my level best to capture the evil Pokemon, Zoroark." "Victory is mine!" "This can't be an illusion?" "But, my illusion canceler!" "When it bite me!" "Your finished, Kodai!" "Give it up!" "It's Karl!" "Not you!" "Mima." "I missed you." "Shuppet, quick." "Use Shadow Ball!" "Zoroark!" "Mima!" "How dare you trick me!" "For what you've done, you're going to pay!" "Yes, Zoroark!" "You ok?" "We're here!" "Dawn and Brock!" "Thanks, Bronzor!" "Pikachu, Thunderbolt, let's go!" "Pikachu, Volt Tackle!" "All right!" "The Time Ripple..." "The Time Ripple will be mine!" "Entei, Raikou, Suicune!" "Guardian protectors of the city!" "Awesome!" "Mima!" "Zoroark!" "Mima!" "Mima?" "Mima?" "Wake up!" "Mima!" "Please, Zoroark, hang in there!" "You have to." "You finally found Zorua!" "Mima!" "I promise, I'll get stronger." "I'll get strong, like you, Mima." "What's going on?" "This is Zorua's illusion!" "You're right." "This is Zorua's home." "Zorua's home?" "Mima!" "Mima, let's go home together." "Mima!" "Go on, Celebi!" "Mima!" "I knew you were stong, Mima." "I knew it!" "I'm so happy for Zorua." "It's all thanks to you." "You were great, too." "I'm so glad, you're feeling better, Celebi." "Celebi, thanks for everything!" "Celebi is about to Time Travel." "I'll be your friend forever." "Yeah, so will we." "Yeah." "Stop Kodai, all the trees and flower will die!" "What do I care!" "So long, as my visionary powers grow, it's all worth it!" "So, you don't care what happens to Crown City?" "It's true, that twenty years ago, when I touched the Time Ripple, Crown City withered," "But, no one knows a thing about that." "Just as no one will know, what I've done today." "Such a terrible man!" "All anyone knows is I'm doing my level best to capture the evil Pokemon, Zoroark." "You can tell me all about it, back at the precinct!" "Have a great trip!" "You take good care!" "Come back again, anytime!" "Don't be strangers!" "Hey, Zorua!" "Will you please, stop lookin' like me, already?" "!" "Zorua!" "We promise, will come and visit you in your region next, Zorua!" "Ash..." "Count on it!" "We can't wait!" "What would you two do, if you could peer into the future?" "I'd be bored out of my creative mind." "Why, pretell?" "Not knowing, what will happen is the spice of life." "The uncertainty of the future makes the here and now a party." "Hey, stop simplifying my stitch." "Lovely breeze." "A day of ease." "Life's but a dream." "Float down stream." "And this time in a boat!"
