    [objects breaks when Tate and Liza scream until falling objects go with the Globo Robo Extendoarm Greenmeanie CageClaw]
    Ash: Team Rocket!
    Liza: Give those creeps who stole the shuttle!
    Tate: What do you want?
    Jessie: Just a couple things.
    James: Like your Lunatone and Solrock to be exact!
    Meowth: This robot was built a specially for catching Lunatone and Solrock, and it's called the Globo Robo Extendoarm Greenmeanie CageClaw.
    James: That's got to be the worst name ever.
    Jessie: Can we just call it robot for short?
    Ash: Why don't you get outta here, we're in the middle of an important gym battle!
    Liza: Well, look at that hole, our Dad's gonna be furious!
    Meowth: Go, Globo Robo Extendoarm Greenmeanie CageClaw, attack!
    Lunatone: Lun! Lun!
    Solrock: Solr!
    Meowth: But it's okay!
    Jessie: Is it okay?
    Meowth: Cause it's about to explode.
    Jessie: Meowth, you are so fired!
    James: Never put your money where your Meowth is!
    Meowth: How's I supposed to know they're gonna use Psychic on us. What am I Psychic?
    Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet!
    Team Rocket: Team Rocket's blasting off again!
    Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet!
    Liza: Good surprise attack, but it'll take more than that to break our combination defence!
    Tate: Anything else up your sleeve, Ash, or is that it?
    Ash: Guess I'm not going to win by tricking 'em. There has to be something I haven't thought of, but what? [Looks at the sky and sees clouds] That's it! Of course! It's my best shot! I just got to trust my Pokémon's inner strength! Pikachu, use Thunder!
    Liza: Fine, we'll block it again with Light Screen!
    Ash: That's what I was hoping you'll do!
    [Tate and Liza are confused by Ash's reaction]
    Liza: What does that mean?
    [Pikachu uses Thunder to strike the clouds causing the Thunder to strike both Swellow and Pikachu. Uhhh...Ash, are you sure that's a good idea?]
    Tate: Why did he do that?
    Liza: Maybe he's just given up?
    Ash: Hang in there, you guys! I know you can pull through it!
    Brock: I think they're storing up electricity in their bodies.
    Max: But Swellow is a Flying-type!
    May: I know they want to do this for Ash, but couldn't it hurt them?
    [Both Pikachu and Swellow are encased in Thunder]
    Liza: I can't believe that work!
    Tate: They're using Thunder as armour! [Yes, people, it's Thunder Armour! How does that work?!]
    Liza: Great battle, Ash! Your Pokémon absorbed that Thunder with no fear of damage to themselves. [Yet it's a bizarre method]
    Tate: My sister and I have both learned a lot just from watching you battle.
    Liza: I guess we still need to work on our combinations more, huh? [Tate nods his head in agreement]
    Ash: Come on, you guys almost had me with all those combination attacks right from the beginning.
    Brock: Yeah, your coordination was pretty good once you two got in sync. [This is one of Tate and Liza's flaws in their battlestyle]
    Max: That's for sure.
    May: I can see how you two became the Gym Leaders here.
    Both Tate and Liza: Oh, wow, thanks.
    Liza: [to Tate] Well, do you have something for Ash, Tate?
    Tate: Yep. [He opens up the small box in his hand to deliver Ash his 7th Hoenn Gym badge.]
    Liza: Ash, congratulations.
    Tate: This is a Mind Badge, proving that you were victorious at the Mossdeep Gym.

## Where's Armaldo?

    Jessie: Imagine how much ancient Pokémon like those would be worse! We could make millions.
    James: Cradily alone would bring in enough dough we'd never have to work another day with our lives.
    Meowth: Hold it, here's a better idea. Let's give the boss all of those Pokémon.
    James Why would we want to do that?
    Meowth: Just imagine the boss exhausted from hard work, coming to this island for a peaceful getaway. And when he sees Cradily and Lileep, the boss he'll go primal. "Just as I that these ancient Pokémon has awaken my wild primitive instants deep inside." [Imitating Tarzan yell] He'll be come one week nature and say, "For us story me to my wild and free self, I'll see to Meowth and friends enjoy while success too!" [water splashes]
    Team Rocket: Yay! Here's to wild time! Wild and freezing! That's us! Wobbuffet!
    Ash Ketchum: Not again.
    Pikachu: Pika.
    Armaldo: Armaldo! Ar! Do! Ar!

    Professor Proctor: What is this?
    Team Rocket: Prepare for trouble, with evil unmatched! And make it double, your Armaldo's been snatched! To protect the world from devastation! To unite all peoples within our nation!

That's right! Wobbuffet! Chime!

## Claydol Big and Tall

    Meowth: [on top of a Claydol using Rapid Spin] Who turned on the spin circle?
    Jessie: I'm about to lose my lunch!
    James: That's OK, you're about to get mine!
    Ash: [dressed up as an eggplant as a lure] How does this always happen?
    James: Here it comes! Dance like an eggplant! [starts dancing and calling out] Claydol, over here!
    Ash: We're eggplants!
    James: Not two guys in costumes at all!
    Ash: We're delicious!
    James: And no fat, which you might want to look into!
    Jessie: I'm started to have my doubts about this...
    May: [bored] The story, or the guy reading it?
    Sigourney: So, what is your motivation?
    Team Rocket: We feel everyone should aspire to prepare for trouble! And their goal should be to make it double! To protect the world from devastation! To unite all peoples within our nation! To denounce the evils of truth and love! To dream... ahem yes, to dream of extending our destructive reach to the stars above! Jessie! James! Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!

    Team Rocket: Yeah? With similar results?
    Meowth: After a nice nap, there's nothing like a Lombre staring at changed the face, or happily strolling to the pool and having a Lombre leering at you. Hmm. Maybe at night, those two can have themselves to scaring contest? If we unload this your Lombre on to the boss, he'll unload us out of the job! What are we gonna do? What are we gonna do? What are we gonna do?
    James: We just won't give it to the boss, that's all.

## Like a Meowth to a Flame

    Officier Jenny: Officer, this is Officer Jenny. The torch is arriving soon, so I want everyone at your post right away.
    Meowth: That must be the score he was talking about!
    James: Very nice, Jess. The Pokémon lead torch!
    Jessie: Well, what can I say when I'm hot, I'm hot.
    James: You know the torch flame comes from a Moltres. Legendary Pokéfats would go nuts!
    Jessie: Someone will pay a fortune for that thing.
    Meowth: But someone ain't get me. We gonna steal it and give it to the boss. Imagine the boss riding into the office one lovely morning. He'll park his bike, look up, and wham! He'll see the torch lit by Moltres's flame shimmering above headquarters. "Ah, yes burning and bright, the fire from the legendary Pokémon Moltres lighting up my life!" Then, after drinking the cup of fresh torch brew coffee, and cooking up a delicious meal on his torch fire stove, he'll be soaking in his torch cheated personal jacuzzi. And guess what he's gonna say, "Meowth and his friends have given me a freak and I could ask for, so now I shall do the same for them!"
    Team Rocket: Everything! Life is cool! Life is cool! Boot your money means we rule! Wobbuffet!
    Ash Ketchum: Trainers, what humble Pokémon does Kingdra begin as? OK, trainers. If you chose Horsea, you were right!
    Horsea: Horsea!
    Jessie: I wouldn't met the force on it.
    Ash Ketchum: They're heading for the water!
    Jessie: Lose a motorcycle, gain a torch!
    Tyson: Criminals!
    Charles Goodshow: You can't take our torch!
    Team Rocket: Prepare for trouble your logic is flawed! That's right possession's 9/10ths of the law! 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 torches the competition at the speed of light! Surrender now or prepare for a marathon fight! Meowth, that's right! Wobbbuh! Chiiiiime!
    Meowth: I ain't through at you yet! And you can fetch you both aren't that one!
    Team Rocket: Meowth can you use Thunderbolt? I guess you could say that's a real fanther in his cab! Hats off to you! Wobbuffet!

## Saved by the Beldum

    Jump: Wow, this is sweeter than a candy cane!

## A Judgment Brawl

    Ash: Grovyle, we won! You were awesome!
    Katie: So were you, Ash. Our battle was tougher than I thought it would be. You won fair and square. Keep on winning!
    Ash: Thanks. I'll do my best.

## The Scheme Team

    Butch: Move it, pond-scum!
    Cassidy: We're on official business!
    Jessie: Hey!
    Cassidy: Well, well. Jessie and James!
    Butch: Hello, losers!
    Jessie: What are you doing here, Cassidy?
    James: And you, Biff!
    Butch: My name's not Biff, it's Butch and you know it!
    Cassidy: Ugghhh, out of our way! We're on serious business here!
    Jessie: Yeah, well Giovanni himself just assigned us personally to an important top secret mission!
    Cassidy: What, taking out the trash?
    Jessie: No, but now that you've mentioned it, IT'S NOT A BAD IDEA!
    [Jessie angrily kicks Cassidy's segway. Cassidy struggles to regain control of her segway]
    Cassidy: THE ONLY REASON THE BOSS SENT YOU TO HOENN IN THE FIRST PLACE WAS TO GET RID OF YOU!
    Jessie: HE PROMISED TO MAKE US EXECUTIVES JUST NOW, AND WHEN HE DOES, THE FIRST THING I'M GONNA DO IS FIRE YOU!

## On Cloud Arcanine

    May: So, what's Extreme Speed, Brock?
    Brock: It's an attack that increases a Pokémon's speed.
    [This is in error, as Extreme Speed in the games is a damage dealing move, not a status-affecting move. Brock is confusing this move for Agility. However, he can arguably be considered partially right if it's taken into account that it's a move that lets the Pokémon use it first, unless the opponent has a higher speed stat when also using the move or others like it, such as Aqua Jet and Quick Attack.]

## Caterpie's Big Dilemma

    [Note: This episode replaces the art style that was first used in Once in a Mawile. With the new art style, the animation, scenery, and characters are brighter than the previous art style.
    [Team Rocket are raiding Dr. Gordon's laboratory]
    James: Ooooh, lookie what we have here. [Climbs down a ladder] These inventions will make us rich.
    Meowth: How are we ever gonna thank the doc?
    Jessie: Theft is an insincere form of flattery. [She hears Caterpie] Hm?
    [Caterpie enters the room, followed by Ash and his friends, Zander and Dr. Gordon]
    Ash & Friends: Hey!
    Dr Gordon: Hey! What do you think you're doing? those are MY blueprints!
    Ash: Team Rocket!
    May: You were the thieves from last night.
    Zander & Dr Gordon: Hm.
    Jessie: That's right.
    James: There was a slight hitch in our plan last night but it's worked out now.
    Dr Gordon: So are these three friends of yours, then?
    Ash & Friends: [gasp] No! Not at all!
    Max: They're just crooks who go around stealing everything.
    Zander: Go, Caterpie!
    Caterpie: [gets ready to stop Team Rocket]
    Jessie: Seviper, go!
    [Seviper emerges from its Poké ball]
    Seviper: Seviper! [Stands in front of Caterpie] Seviper!
    [Meowth carries a green sack as he aims for the door]
    Meowth: Come on, let's go!
    Jessie & James: Right!
    [James picks up an orange case]
    James: We wouldn't want to leave without this, right?
    Dr Gordon: Not that! It's the most important invention I've ever completed in my life!
    Jessie: All the more reason to take it, then.
    Jessie & James: Goodbye! [They flee]
    Zander: Caterpie, String Shot!
    [Caterpie uses String Shot to take the case from James' right hand]
    James: Hey!
    Jessie: Seviper, get it back!
    Seviper: Seviper! [Grabs the case]
    Ash: Pikachu, Quick Attack now!
    Pikachu: Pika! [Jumps off Ash's shoulder] Pi... kaaa! [Uses Quick Attack on Seviper, causing it to lose the case. The case, meanwhile, lands on the floor and opens up, revealing some small, blue balls]
    Caterpie: [sees the blue balls and eats one of them]
    Dr Gordon: NO! You can't eat that!
    Caterpie: [replies to Dr Gordon]
    Dr Gordon: Duuhhh! Caterpie!
    Caterpie: [starts to glow]
    Zander: Wha? What's wrong? [His Caterpie starts growing] Ugh!
    [Dr Gordon, May, Max, Brock and Ash gasp]
    Ash: Huh?
    Meowth: Aaaahhh!
    Jessie: What's going on, James?
    James: Not good.
    Caterpie: [growls at Team Rocket, rendering them nervous]
    Jessie: I think it's upset.
    James: Would you like to talk?
    Caterpie: [crossly refuses]
    Meowth: Nnh! Does that mean "No"?
    Wobbuffet: Wobba!
    Caterpie: [growls at Team Rocket and sends them blasting off]
    Team Rocket: Ow! We're blasting off again!
    Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet.
    [The stolen goods land in Dr. Gordon’s laboratory]
    Zander: Caterpie, how did you get so big, pal?
    Caterpie: [groans]
    Dr Gordon: Because truth is stranger than fiction, though that's what they say, anyway. The reason Caterpie grew so large is because it ate one of my newest inventions.
    Brock: Those blue things. [A flashback occurs] They were "Mystery Candies", and they enhance a Pokémon's abilities, right?
    Dr Gordon Sort of. It's Mystery Candy complete.
    Ash: So what's the complete part?
    Pikachu: Pika?
    Dr Gordon: Just a little something I created by combining everything I could think of that could possibly improve a Pokémon's health.
    Max: So it's just like a super-powerful vitamin, right?
    May: And pretty soon it'll return back to normal.
    Dr Gordon: That I don't know.
    May: You're just teasing us, right?
    Zander: Please, Dr. Gordon, can't you help me get my Caterpie back?
    Dr Gordon: Yes, don't worry. Where there's a will, there's a way. At least, that's what I keep hearing, anyway.
    Zander: Well that's a relief.
    Caterpie: [nods happily]
    [But then, Caterpie starts growing again]
    Zander: Huh? Caterpie!
    Ash: Oh, no! Did it eat more?
    Dr Gordon: You didn't have to. It's still under the effects from before.
    May: Zander, get Caterpie back in its Poké ball quick!
    Zander: No, I can't do that, May!
    Ash: Wha!? Why not?
    Zander: Caterpie and I are best friends, but I've never ever caught it before.
    [But then, Caterpie hits the ceiling]
    Dr Gordon: Run for the hills! [He runs away with Ash and his friends. Zander follows too]
    [Everybody flees the laboratory and watches as the now gigantic Caterpie rips through the roof of Dr Gordon's laboratory]
    Zander: How big? [Caterpie climbs down from the roof, scaring everyone] Don't go, Caterpie!
    [Caterpie heads for the nearby city which has a tall red and white tower]
    Ash: Oh, no. If Caterpie makes it into town, that could be bad.
    Pikachu: Pika.

## Pasta La Vista!

    [Note: This is the last episode of Pokémon to be dubbed by 4Kids Entertainment.]
    Kyle Hamm: For the last time, no! I’m not going in there!
    Terry: Please Kyle, at least talk to him.
    Kyle Hamm: What’s the use?!
    Master Hamm: It’s about time.
    Kyle Hamm: Dad, that's so great! But, before you go, will you make those same noodles for me one more time?
    [At the noodle restaurant, Master Hamm has made some bowls of noodles for his son Kyle, and Ash and his friends]
    Ash, Max, May & Brock: Thank you, Master Hamm. [They taste their noodles]
    Ash: It's great.
    Kyle Hamm: This is just the flavour I remember.
    Master Hamm: Of course it is, son, I'm not about to let a whippersnapper beat me at my own noodle game. [Chuckles]
    [Soon, Ash and his friends have left the restaurant with Kyle and his father waving goodbye]
    Narrator: So, Ash and friends, having finally gotten their fill of delicious noodles, head out of Saffron City, and make their way toward their next goal, the Battle Arena.
    Ash: Pikachu, are you ready to go win our next Frontier symbol? Ha.
    Pikachu: Pi, Pikachu.
