Electric Shock Showdown/4Kids Version

(Everybody has gotten to the main portion of Vermilion City. Brock and Misty are eager to clean up, and the Glitter Warriors want some food at the Pokémon Center).

Red: **Geez, where is the Gym?!**

Chase: **I want a Gym Battle right now!!**

Brock: **Cool your jets, guys. We should go heal our Pokémon now. They're pretty beaten up.**

(Red and Chase reluctantly nod, just as Ashton's stomach grumbles.)

Ashton: **I agree with you. Besides, I'm hungry!**

Chase: **Me too...**

(Nanette just stands there aloofed.)

#####

(Everyone gives their Pokémon to Nurse Joy to heal, except for Elizabeth who explains that Rotom and Dragonet feel far safer having her with them and won't go in without her. Nurse Joy nods and allows her to go into the healing room with them while everyone else sits down in the cafe portion. However, in the healing room, while Elizabeth is by Rotom and Dragonet's pillow they're resting on next to Casty and Bluey while the Chansey and a Ninja Dragonet owned by Nurse Joy both use SoftBoiled on them, she suddenly sees a bunch of injured Pokémon being wheeled in. )

Elizabeth: **What the? Why so many injured Pokémon?**

Nurse Joy's Chansey: **We'll be back over in a sec.**

Nurse Joy's Ninja Dragonet: **It looks like we have an emergency. Just stay by your Pokémon until we have the situation under control. I'll tell everyone in the waiting room the situation.**

(Nurse Joy's Chansey and Ninja Dragonet go out to tell everyone in the waiting room the situation. Elizabeth nods and stays by Rotom and Dragonet's pillow.)

#####

Nurse Joy's Ninja Dragonet: **Everyone, please stay calm. We have a lot of injured Pokémon and there's only two of us who can go around the room using healing moves so fast, so there might be a delay in healing your Pokémon.**

Nanette: **...Oh my. You gotta be kidding me.**

Nurse Joy's Chansey: **They were all defeated badly by Lt. Surge. We're honestly going as fast as we can with our SoftBoiled. I only have two arms and she only has two fins.**

Nanette: **Well, what if I also get beaten?! I'm scared!**

Fiona: **Yeah. I'm scared too.**

Marina: *Something's wrong. Is she worried about another thing?*

#####

*Young Marina: **Hang in there sis!***

*Elis: **You can do it!***

*(A younger Nanette pants as she tries to breathe.)*

#####

Misty: **Nanette, may I remind you that I just gave you my badge out of pity?**

Nanette: **IT DOESN'T MATTER! A BADGE IS A BADGE!**

Jim: **Uh-huh! Make her shout again and I'll-**

Bianca: **Quit it!**

(The four get into a brawl.)

Cheren: **HEY!**

Marina: **STOP FIGHTING!**

Brock: **Chillax!**

Ellie: **Uncle, calm down!**

(Just as things were either going to get worse or better, they hear the bell chime sound indicating their Pokémon are fully healed. Elizabeth comes out of the healing room with her Pokemon, while Chansey hands everyone else their Pokémon and Ninja Dragonet fins Gigi to Nanette with Vine Whip due to the size difference of 1'02" vs. 1'08".)

Chansey: **Here you go.**

Ninja Dragonet: **Here you go, Nanette.**

All: **Thank you.**

(Chansey and Ninja Dragonet go back into the healing room to deal with the emergency. The heroes then decide to head to the Vermilion Gym.)

Fiona: **After hearing that announcement, I think it's better if we don't even take on the Gym!**

(Fiona spoke too soon. Red, Green, Chase, Elaine and Nanette convince them anyway.)

Fiona: **Alright, you win.**

#####

(Red, Green, Chase, Elaine, and Nanette burst into the Gym.)

Red: **I want to win the Thunder Badge!**

Chase: **Me too!**

Nanette: *Oh those stubborn boys...*

Subordinate #1: **Stupid kids these days.**

Subordinate #2: **You really think you're gonna win with such weak, unevolved Pokèmon?! If you say so. Proceed.**

(The subordinates open the door to the battlefield. Everyone other than the challengers goes to the sidelines to watch.)

Lt. Surge: **These are the challengers? Their Pokémon are such wimps. Pokémon are only good when they're fully evolved.**

Citronelle (from the sidelines): **HEY! I'm not evolving! If I evolved, I couldn't fly anymore.**

Pixie (from the sidelines): **I'm not either. You know how Poliwag have gills and can breathe underwater, but its adult forms Poliwhirl, Poliwrath, and Politoed can't and have lungs? Some Pokémon lose certain powe-**

Lt. Surge: **NONSENSE! Be quiet or I will fry you with my Raichu!**

Cheren (from the sidelines): **So rude!** *I would NEVER act like that at all!*

Casty: **Behind the fridge was a piece of glass! Miss Susie slipped on it and cut her big fat... Ask no more-**

(Dragonet grabs Casty and puts her fin over her mouth so that Lt. Surge doesn't get even angrier. Bianca, though, did lose her temper a little, but prevents herself from even yelling.)

Gigi: **Nanette! I want to battle Raichu.**

Jessica: **Me too.**

Nanette: **...OK. After all, there is more to a Pokémon battle than evolution!** *Only problem is... It seems this match will be 6 Pokemon against a Raichu! But no, I must stick to the match.*

Lt. Surge: **I accept your challenge, but you'll still lose no matter what. Go, Raichu!**

Referee: **Battle, begin!**

Chase: **Ashton, use Thunder Shock!**

(However, Raichu simply extends its tail out like a lightning rod, absorbing it without breaking a sweat.)

Raichu: **Thanks for the battery charge! Too easy.**

Red: \*sigh\* **Great. Looks like your partner can't even try to fight it. I think we need to forfeit.**

Chase: **No way! I'm not doing it!**

Nanette: *Chase...*

Chase: **Use Tackle!**

(Ashton charges at Raichu, but it simply uses a Mega Kick and then a powerful Mega Punch to knock Ashton back, causing him to slam into Chase and causing Chase to slam into Nanette.)

Nanette: **OUCH!**

Muddy (from the sidelines): **I wonder if Ashton is going to grow to the size of a house from love.**

(Elizabeth glares at Muddy, since that was obviously a reference to Clifford The Big Red Dog and the character she shared her name with, Emily Elizabeth. Elaine blushes at Chase out of embarrassment.)

Elaine: *Oh Chasie...*

(Team Rocket, meanwhile, is listening outside.)

Jessie: **Which one of the twerps' Pokémon should we pickpocket this time?**

Meowth: **That Raichu is awfully strong. Let's steal that one.**

James: **It's not worth stealing. I'm personally rooting for the twerps.**

Jessie: **You know what Meowth? I agree with James.**

(However, Raichu had already won. It unleashed a Thunderbolt that quickly knocked Ashton out cold.)

Nanette: *...Everything's....going black.... Can't...hold on...*

#####

(Later, Nanette wakes up. When she opens her eyes, she sees Nurse Joy's Chansey and Ninja Dragonet looking at her. Chase wakes up as well. The two Pokémon healed them with SoftBoiled while they were unconscious, but they still need rest.)

Marina: **Sis! Thank goodness you're alright!**

Elaine: **Yeah Chase!**

Nanette: **...Th-that was t-the wo-orst t-thing that's ha-happened t-to m-me...**

Marina: **Oh my Arceus... Sis.... Y-your voice... You're weakened!**

Elizabeth: **I should have told all of you to be careful...**

Fiona: **Don't be upset! We're helping out, remember?**

Jim: \*pulls out his GD-34\* **I'll teach that son-of-a-Boltund because of thi-**

Lucas: **Calm down bro!**

Catherine: **Are you crazy, hun?!**

Ellie: **Don't kill him! What will happen to us if the police found out he was killed?!**

Nanette: **Jailed! I can't lose one of my good friends just like that!**

Brianna: **Not just him, maybe US!**

Starlix Girls minus Catherine: **Put that DOWN!**

Aurea: **You know that weapons are NOT allowed in places like this!**

(Nurse Joy comes in.)

Nurse Joy: **Alright, what is going on here?!**

Everyone: ...

Jim: \*immediately hides the assault carbine\* **...nothing...?**

Cheren: **Liar. He was planning to kill Lt. Surge because of his behavior towards Marina's lil' sis!**

Nurse Joy: **You got to be kidding!**

Jim: *Great. Weapons AREN'T supposed to be shown in Pokemon Centers anyway.* **I apologize!**

Nurse Joy: **Well anyway, I just came over these Evolution Stones.**

(Nurse Joy holds up a Water Stone and a Moon Stone, while Chansey holds up a Fire Stone and Ninja Dragonet holds up a Thunder Stone. Flare looks interested in the Fire Stone but does not want to evolve just yet, while Pixie cowers away from it. However, Pudding snatches all the stones and thinks they're just toys.)

Pudding: **Ooh, shiny! MY toyeeys! MY toyeeys!**

Dragonet: **Pudding, those are not toys! They're important for a Pokémon to evolve!**

Marina: **Yeah! Get your fins off them!**

(Pudding pouts and reluctantly gives them back, but spits an intentionally weak Water Gun in their faces while pulling her eyelid down.)

Jim: **Good grief...**

Ellie: \*facepalms\*

Nurse Joy's Chansey: **Anyways, this is a Fire Stone. It allows your Eevee to** **evolve into Flareon and allows your Vulpix to evolve into Ninetales.**

Pixie: **I'll pass.**

Nurse Joy's Ninja Dragonet: **This is a Thunder Stone. It allows your Pikachu to evolve into Raichu and allows your Eevee to evolve into Jolteon.**

Chase + Elaine: !

Elaine: *...I don't know what to do... If Evolite evolves, there'd be a better chance on defeating Lt. Surge, but if it's just to battle, that's not gonna work!*

Chase + Elaine: **What will you decide?**

Chase: **Ashton?**

Elaine: **Evolite?**

(After a few minutes, the two Pokémon whack the stones away with their tails.)

Ashton: **After some difficult thinking, I've decided.... nope.**

Evolite: **Same. Besides, the writers must have forgotten about the time we mentioned the no-evolve serum!**

Chase and Elaine: \*gasp\*

Bianca: **Clever little Eevee!**

Elaine: *Silly girl...*

(Outside, Team Rocket are listening again.)

Meowth: **I agree with the twerp Pokémon's decision. I like Pikachu and Eevee just the way they are.**

Jessie: **Yeah.**

(Back with the heroes, Nanette wants a rematch with Lt. Surge, but Marina says she should rest.)

Marina: **Sis, you really need to take it easy. I could have a rematch on your behalf.**

Brock: **We need a different strategy, though. Otherwise, he'll beat us all over again.**

Nanette: **But how? You're not a Trainer, but you're still travelling!**

Marina: **Don't worry, I'll find a way.**

Ellie: **I suggest you should borrow Star Lucario from Jim, as he's more powerful than any Pokémon.**

Jim: \*gets a cup from nowhere, drank it and spat the liquid out\* **What?!**

Marina: **Sorry Ellie, but I'm borrowing Gigi and Jessica instead. Hope li'l sis is fine with that!**

Nanette: **Huh?!**

Gigi + Jessica: **Seriously?!**

Marina: **Yeah, you two are lightweight! That Raichu probably evolved after Lt. Surge caught it as a Pikachu!**

Yvonne: **She'll beat him one way or another. I'm sure of it.**

Brock: **Yvonne may be right. Maybe there is a way Lt. Surge can be defeated after all.**

Nanette: **...Sugar... I'm sorry...for being...rough at ya...**

Sugar: **...Thankeey you...**

Cheren: *I think Lt. Surge will mellow down once he gets defeated... If not... I don't even know!*

#####

(The next day, Marina heads to the Vermilion Gym. On the way though...)

Meowth: **Go get em girl!**

James: **Go go Marina!**

Jessie: **You can do it!** \*sticks her tongue out\*

Marina: **Ugh... Thanks, I guess.**

(After the bizarre commotion, Marina enters the Gym demanding a rematch on behalf of her sister.)

Marina: **I'd like a rematch, please.**

Lt. Surge: **You again? Ha! If you insist.**

Referee: **Rematch, begin!**

Lt. Surge: **Body Slam, Raichu! Now!**

(However, Gigi and Jessica dodge, being smaller and more agile. Raichu groans in frustration.)

Gigi + Jessica: **This is for our Trainer! We'll NEVER GIVE UP!**

(The two Pokemon charge enough power to suddenly get cloaked in flames and water!)

Marina: **Oh my! Gigi's going to use Flame Charge!**

Pixie (from the sidelines): **And it looks like Jessica's using Aqua Jet!**

Marina: **Uh, thanks?!**

Pixie (from the sidelines): *Whoopsie...*

Lt. Surge: **HOW DO YOU...?!**

(Raichu starts using multiple Body Slams, but the small Pokemon just dodge quickly with their new moves.)

Brock (from the sidelines): **Because you evolved your Pikachu into Raichu so fast, it missed the chance to learn the speed attacks it can only learn as a Pikachu.**

(Raichu unleashes a massive Thunderbolt, but Gigi and Jessica intercept with Flame Charge and Aqua Jet. A cloud of dust kicks up.)

Lt. Surge: **Looks like I've won.**

(Gigi and Jessica have dodged and are unharmed.)

Marina: **Wow, how did they do that?**

Brock (from the sidelines): **The Élémens' power must have protected them!**

(Marina is left confused after Brock said that. A little while after more commands are given out, the duo of Pokémon take advantage of the dust and slam right into Raichu's stomach, sending it flying.)

Gigi: ***FLAME CHARGE!***

Jessica: ***AQUA JET!***

(The two slam unto Raichu once again, this time with much more power. When the dust clears, Gigi and Jessica are in front of a lying Raichu with swirly eyes. Gigi happily smiles at Marina, and so did Jessica.)

Lt. Surge: **WHAT?! Alright, you win.**

Cheren (from the sidelines): **My prediction!**

Everyone in the sidelines: **HUH?!**

Cheren (from the sidelines): **I thought that the Gym Leader would mellow down and admit defe--**

Jim (from the sidelines): **Then there's no need t-**

Brianna (from the sidelines): **Uncle, don't say it.**

(The Starlix girls just stare at Jim waiting for him to admit he shouldn't take his weapon out.)

Jim (from the sidelines): **Fine, I won't do it.**

Lt. Surge: **As proof of your victory, I present you with the Thunder Badge.**

(Marina asks for four more, to which Surge agrees after realizing his Raichu's mistake on knocking the intended Gym Challengers out. After she throws them to Nanette, to which she gives four of the badges to Red, Green, Chase and Elaine, Rotom then starts dancing around and cheers along with Karyll and the others, but ends up shocking everybody except the Gym Leader by mistake.)

Jim (from the sidelines): **ELECTRICITY OVERLOAD!!!!!**

Elizabeth (from the sidelines): **ROTOM!!!!!!**

Nanette (from the sidelines): **AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!**

(Everyone comically falls to the ground, fried. Meanwhile, Team Rocket leave, but stop after getting far enough as the episode ends.)

James: **Drat, we wasted this episode cheering the good guys!**

Jessie and Meowth: \*gasp\*

*To be Continued*
