"NARRATOR:" "Once again, we find our heroes... sailing through the sunny surf." "They don't know it yet... but a new adventure is drifting their way." "You holding up OK, Lapras?" "Mm-hmm-hmm." "Pika!" "Toge!" "Hey, what's that?" "Huh?" "Huh?" "Ha ha!" "Nice catch, Lapras." "Huh?" "There's a paper inside." "Looks like a letter." "Pika, pika." "Ah!" "Somebody from one of the islands nearby... must have thrown it in the ocean." "ASH:" "Let's see what it says." ""lf you know anything about a Pokémon..." ""called the Crystal Onix, let me know right away."" "And it's signed, "Marissa from Sunburst Island."" "The Crystal Onix?" "TRACEY:" "Yeah, it's supposed to be an Onix... made of glass crystal." "misty:" "is it really real?" "TRACEY:" "Who knows?" "But there are people who say they've seen it." "I'd sure like to see it, wouldn't you?" "Pika, pika!" "Mm-hmm-mm." "ASH:" "Hey, look!" "TRACEY:" "There's Sunburst Island!" "misty:" "Wow!" "Look at all the glass." "Sunburst Island's famous... for having all kinds of crystal and glass shops." "ASH:" "Wow." "TRACEY:" "Lots of artists live here... and they make the glass right on the island." "People travel from all over the world to buy it." "misty:" "Cool." "ASH:" "Wow." "Everything looks so shiny." "misty:" "I'd really like to buy something." "Pika!" "Don't break it, Pikachu." "You'll have to pay for it." "Pika!" "Aah!" "MAN:" "You're still keeping this crummy shop open?" "Haven't you gone out of business yet?" "No, sir." "ALL:" "Huh?" "I don't see why you don't close up shop." "You got no merchandise." "Tell your big brother he should give up already." "He ain't got no talent." "Yes, he does." "He's very good." "Aw, come on, don't start crying on us." "What?" "What's going on here?" "is there a problem?" "What's it to you?" "You know her?" "Well, no, we don't know her." "All I know is, being next to them is killing my business." "These kids today... sticking their noses where they don't belong." "Yeesh." "Are you OK?" "Yeah." "You don't run this shop all by yourself, do you?" "Uh-uh." "My big brother Mateo helps me out a lot." "Well, that sounds nice." "Except now he feels real bad... and doesn't want to make glass anymore." "Pikachu." "Why don't you tell us your name?" "My name's Marissa." "Uh, well, then you must be the one who wrote this." "I knew somebody'd answer my letter." "You have to tell me about the Crystal Onix." "Please tell me, please!" "Uh, well, I, uh... don't know anything about it." "We're sorry." "Oh. I thought for sure you found it." "Are you sure there's really such a thing as a Crystal Onix?" "Mm-hmm, sure there is." "Maybe we should all have a little talk... with your brother about this." "Marissa, have you been bothering these people?" "She's not bothering us, is she, Ash?" "Not at all." "Pikachu." "ASH:" "All the other glass stores have tons of stuff... but yours is practically empty." "How come?" "Well, you see... when my grandfather ran the store... it was full of glass, and it was a big success." "Grandpa was a really talented artist... and he made beautiful glass Pokémon sculptures every day." "I tried my best to follow in his footsteps... but I just can't make anything good enough... to sell in the store." "ASH:" "But these are great." "Did you make 'em, Mateo?" "They all look just like the real Pokémon." "They sure look good enough to me." "Maybe, but not to me... and compared to grandpa's, they're worthless." "[Both gasp]" "What a waste." "Pikachu." "TRACEY:" "What's so bad about them, Mateo?" "MATEO:" "They don't have that soul... that sparkle, that inner fire." "They look like statues." "Grandpa's Pokémon looked like they might come alive... at any second." "If I could just find some kind of inspiration." "What do you mean by that?" "He needs that spark." "It's an idea or a feeling artists need to get." "If they don't have it, it's tough to create anything good." "lt sure sounds important." "Pika." "I know I could create sculptures like my grandfather... if I could just capture the Crystal Onix." "Huh?" "Grandpa used to tell me that when he was a young artist... he saw the Crystal Onix, and that's what inspired him." "You mean he saw it for real?" "Yeah. lt was the most amazing thing he'd ever seen." "[Chiseling]" "Huh?" "[Gasps]" "MATEO:" "For the rest of his life... grandpa turned out one great sculpture after another." "Wow." "That's a pretty amazing story." "Take a look at this." "[All gasp]" "That's my grandpa's sculpture of the Crystal Onix he saw." "Oh!" "Wow!" "Grandpa used to say... that whenever he needed some inspiration... all he had to do was think of that Crystal Onix." "I've looked for it all over the island... hoping it might give me just the inspiration that I need... but I haven't found it anywhere." "So that's the reason... you want to find the Crystal Onix so much, isn't it, Marissa?" "Right." "What do you say we stay here and help them look for it, guys?" "Let's do it!" "After all, it's not polite... to let a letter from a little girl go unanswered." "Pika, pika." "Oh, thank you very much." "Let's make shopping easy." "We can avoid the checkout lines if we pick out what we want... and come back later and steal it." "This plate is fit for a king!" "And these glasses are fit for a queen." "Mmm." "Mmm." "Ha ha ha ha!" "Aah!" "Will you two listen to me?" "Ooh!" "Oh!" "[Nervous moans]" "Hey, we got a rule around here." "You break it, you bought it." "Ooh." "Oh." "Aah..." "[Grunts]" "[Groans]" "[Grunts]" "Why do we have to suffer this indignity?" "We have to pay him, and we don't have a cent." "So we gotta work." "MAN:" "You know what I heard?" "I just heard that Mateo and a bunch of kids... just took off to look for that Crystal Onix again." "SECOND MAN:" "He still believes that story the old man told him." "That's pathetic." "MAN:" "Yeah. I mean, who'd believe... there's an Onix made out of glass?" "SECOND MAN:" "Hey, when you're desperate... you'll believe anything." "Mm !" "Did you hear that?" "That's what I call a rare Pokémon." "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" "Heck, I'm thinking we find that Onix pronto." "So it's somewhere on this island, huh?" "But where do we start to look?" "Venonat will find it." "Venonat." "Venonat." "Venonat." "Find something that looks like this, Venonat." "Venonat!" "Venonat!" "ASH:" "I guess it kind of looks like an Onix." "[Chuckles] lt was a nice try, Venonat." "Venonat, venonat." "Venonat, how could you let me down?" "Venonat!" "Venonat, venonat." "Oh, well." "Time to return, Venonat." "What do we do now?" "I think I'll try a different Pokémon." "Do you have a Pokémon that can find the Crystal Onix?" "I do. I have just the one." "[Boing]" "Marrill, marrill!" "Cutie!" "Meet Marrill." "DEXTER:" "Marrill-- the water mouse Pokémon." "Its sensitive ears can detect distant sounds... and the round, rubbery tip of its tail... can expand and contract, assisting Marrill in the water." "You think Marrill can help us?" "Sure." "Lots of times Marrill hears a Pokémon... before I even see him." "You two must make a good team." "You watch and Marrill listens." "OK, Marrill, listen up." "RECORDER: [Pokémon roars]" "Now, that's what Onix sounds like." "Try to hear one." "Marrill!" "Marrill!" "Marrill, ma--Marrill!" "Marrill hears something." "Come on!" "PlKACHU:" "Pika!" "children:" "Who's that Pokémon?" "It's Rhyhorn!" "RHYHORN:" "Rhyhorn!" "[Squeaking]" "Marrill!" "ASH:" "Over there?" "Marrill, marrill!" "I can't believe it." "Whoa." "Pikachu." "Toge, togepi!" "ASH:" "It's like a path across the water." "MATEO:" "What's happening?" "TRACEY:" "It looks like some kind of sand bar... that connects the two islands." "Or maybe when the tide is really low... you can see that it's one big island." "Well, let's go!" "Pika!" "[Panting]" "Aah!" "Aah!" "What should we do?" "[Team Rocket laughs]" "You should prepare for trouble." "And while you're down there, make it double." "To protect the world from devastation." "To unite all peoples within our nation." "To denounce the evils of truth and love." "JAMES:" "To extend our reach to the stars above." "Jessie!" "James." "Team Rocket-- blast off at the speed of light." "Surrender now or prepare to fight." "Meowth!" "That's right." "Aah!" "Aah!" "Team Rocket!" "Why don't you just pretend you're a tree and leave!" "JAMES:" "Ooh, funny." "Who told you that one, Professor Oak?" "jessie:" "We know what you kids are looking for." "We figured you'd show up... looking for that Crystal Onix sooner or later." "So we set a trap or two just for you." "Now we'll grab that Crystal Onix." "Bye-bye, losers." "Waahh!" "They'll steal Crystal Onix!" "Don't you worry, Marissa." "We'll dig our way out of here... and beat Team Rocket to the Onix, and that's a promise." "Really?" "You'll see." "Pika." "[Panting]" "marissa:" "Look at all the pretty shells." "misty:" "We'll pick some up on the way back... if we come back." "Hey, look there!" "lt's..." "Team Rocket?" "Errr..." "Mmph..." "[Groaning] I don't understand." "How did this happen to you guys?" "Ha ha ha ha ha." "Well, we were setting all these traps... to catch you little twerps..." "And somehow we got caught in them ourselves." "[Laughing]" "Those were for us?" "Toge, togepi!" "Never mind about that now." "Just get us out of these traps... and we'll let you help us find the Crystal Onix." "That's very considerate, but, no, thank you." "Mar-rill." "Do you hear something, Marrill?" "Huh?" "It's inside the cave?" "OK, fine, you win." "Just get us out of these traps we're in... we'll do anything you want us to!" "misty:" "Chill out." "We'll be back." "How can I chill out when I'm about to fall in?" "[Whimpering]" "misty:" "Wow!" "TRACEY:" "Look at all these crystals." "ASH:" "This must be where Crystal Onix lives." "Marrill!" "Marrill's tail floats so you can see where it's going." "That's a handy little feature." "Marrill, marrill." "What is it, Marrill?" "Marrill!" "Marrill, marrill!" "Huh?" "[Gasps] I think I see it." "Huh?" "Think you see what?" "Ma-Marrill!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "[Roar]" "lt's the Crystal Onix!" "No kidding!" "TRACEY:" "Its whole body is made out of crystal." "ASH:" "Yeah!" "Wait till Professor Oak hears about this!" "It's scary." "I came prepared with just the Pokémon... to battle that Onix, so don't be scared, Marissa." "What are you using?" "Cloyster, I choose you!" "Cloyster." "Onix is weak against water attacks." "Cloyster, use your water gun." "Cloyster." "What's wrong?" "The water's bouncing right off it." "Cloyster, try rapid fire now!" "Cloyster." "Those water attacks don't seem to have any effect... on the Crystal Onix." "l can't believe it." "Pika!" "Uhhhh!" "[Roar]" "Cloyster." "[Roar]" "Aah!" "Cloyster." "Cloyster!" "Mateo!" "ALL:" "Get away from our Crystal Onix!" "Them again!" "Pikachu!" "[Panting]" "MEOWTH:" "Hey, down here. I'm down here." "That Crystal Onix belongs to Team Rocket." "misty:" "I don't get it." "How did you three escape?" "TOGEPl:" "Toge, togepi!" "That is a secret you will never know." "The writers can't figure it out, either." "Just think of all the beautiful junk we can make... with that crystal." "The world's longest crystal necklace." "JAMES:" "A crystal tub!" "Eee!" "I'll get a crystal charm and become the cat's Meowth." "[Both laugh]" "Hmm." "What makes me think we're going to blow it?" "All right, Arbok, let's get to work." "Victreebel!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "JAMES:" "Let go of me, will you?" "Don't attack me, attack them !" "Come on!" "Let's get rid of 'em, Pikachu." "Pika!" "Take care of 'em, Staryu!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Oof!" "Ooh!" "I thought we'd win." "I'm very shocked." "Ahh..." "Aah!" "Aah!" "[Roar]" "Well, aren't you a nice Onix?" "[Baby talk] Yes, you are." "Aah!" "Aah!" "ALL:" "It looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" "[Onix roars] I know how to battle you, Onix... but now I see I'm going to need a little help... from my glass-making partner to do it." "His glass-making partner?" "Charmeleon." "Charmeleon, go!" "Char." "[Roar]" "Char, char." "What's that?" "That's Onix's rock throw." "Charmeleon, use your flame-thrower attack!" "Char!" "[Roar]" "All right, nice work!" "Char." "[Roar]" "Charmeleon's flame-thrower attack... is making Crystal Onix super hot!" "All right!" "Ember attack now!" "Chaaar..." "[Roar]" "Ohh!" "ASH:" "Hurry, Mateo, capture it!" "l don't have to anymore, Ash." "Huh?" "For a minute, I felt something strange... when I looked at that Onix." "The feeling's hard to describe... but now I have the inspiration I need to start working again." "Mateo." "[Roar]" "Thank you, friend." "Thank you for that inspiration." "That's great." "Keep it burning, Charmeleon." "So this is why he called Charmeleon... his glass-making partner." "Toge, toge." "Pika, pika." "Almost done." "And I think I'm gonna like this one." "Hurry up. I can't wait." "You can't rush genius." "[Giggling]" "Bye!" "Thanks again!" "See ya!" "Pika, pika!" "Good-bye." "And thank you!" "marissa:" "See you later!" "Thanks for your help." "Good-bye!" "ASH:" "Wow!" "It almost looks like it's alive." "You can really tell Mateo got all the inspiration he needed." "TOGEPl:" "Togepi!" "Yeah, and from now on, I'm sure their store... is gonna be a big success." "Yeah." "And they deserve it." "Pikachu." "NARRATOR:" "It's time for our heroes to move on... but the friends they've made and the things they've seen... will sparkle in their memories forever."
