Chapter 17: For Crying Out Loud

(Fresh from her victory at the Violet City gym, Mew has now gained the Zephyr badge and has it proudly.)

(Now they plan to find the next Johto League Gym to go next.)

Misty: "So Mew, where do we need to go next?"

(Misty asks.)

Mew: "Well, one of the things we should do is go find the next gym."

(Mew says.)

(Reading the guide book, Brock says.)

Brock: "It says here that the closest Johto League gym is the Azalea gym in Azalea Town."

Mew: "Then that is our next destination."

(Mew says.)

Tomo: "Hey Mew, didn't Professor Oak say where we need to take the G.S. Ball to?"

(Tomo asks.)

Mew: "Huh. You're right. Professor Oak said that Kurt lives in Azalea Town and we need to deliver the G.S. Ball there."

(Mew says.)

Misty: "Sounds like a good idea. We can go there for your battle and deliver the G.S. Ball."

(Misty says.)

(Just then, Misty notices houses by a lake.)

Misty: "Hey! Look at all the big houses. This is such a beautiful place."

(Everyone looks to see the houses.)

Mew: "You're right. I'll bet Lugia would love to swim there."

(Mew says.)

Brock: "Well, you know what you always find in beautiful places, don't you?"

(Brock says.)

(Everyone else questions.)

Everyone: "No, Brock. What?"

Brock: "Beautiful girls!"

(Brock answers.)

Brock: "Guys, this could be it, this could be where I'm finally gonna meet the girl of my dreams!"

Misty: "That's crazy! What makes you think you're gonna find the girl of your dreams here?"

(Misty questions.)

(Brock turns with blushes on his cheeks.)

Brock: "Because...she's standing right over there!"

(Everyone looks wonder to see a beautiful young lady wearing a pink dress holding a white parasol.)

(She also has long dark teal hair with a yellow ribbon tied in the back, and is staring out at the lake, looking sad.)

Brock: "That's perfect! That cliff is the perfect spot for our first meeting."

(Brock says.)

(Then Misty replies.)

Misty: "Yeah! Right after she meets you, she can jump right off!"

(Togepi chips and Pichu giggles.)

(Suddenly, the group hears rustling in the bushes.)

(The group investigates and out of the bushes is a Marill with a pink ribbon on the end of its tail.)

Tomo and Brock: "It's a Marill!"

(Tomo and Brock say, surprised.)

(Misty happily says.)

Misty: "WHAT A CUTIE! I'm gonna catch this one."

(and brings out a Pokeball.)

(Seeing the ribbon on Marill's tail, Mew calls out.)

Mew: "Wait Misty, I think that Marill..."

(But Misty throws the Pokeball.)

Misty: "Go, Pokéball, GO!"

(And the Pokeball slams hard into Marill's shocked face, knocking it over as the Pokeball bounces back into Misty's hand.)

Misty: "Well... that didn't work very well, did it?"

(Misty says.)

(Suddenly, Marill's eyes go all wobbly and it bursts into tears.)

(Everyone covers ears in pain.)

Brock: "Make it stop! We've got to try to make it stop!"

(Brock says.)

(Mew picks up Marill and rocks her.)

Mew: "It's okay Marill. Don't cry, sweetie, don't cry."

(Finally, Marill calms down and feels better now.)

(Brock picks Marill up and says.)

Brock: "Upsie daisy."

(And Marill is laughing.)

(Tomo soon notices.)

Tomo: "Hey, look! It's got a bow on its tail."

Brock: "Yeah, I didn't notice that before."

(Brock says.)

(Then Mew turns to Misty.)

Mew: "I was trying to tell you. This Marill belongs to someone."

Misty: "Well, at least I know why my Pokéball didn't work. Maybe next time,"

(Misty says.)

(Then walks to Marill and picks her up.)

Misty: "I'm sorry, cutie-pie, but I had to try to catch you."

(And Marill's thunderous tears begin again and starts crying.)

Misty: "Hey, what're you crying for?!"

(Misty asks.)

Jen: "How can something so little be so loud?!"

(Jen asks.)

(Even the Pokemon are covering their ears.)

Misty: "Okay, settle down. No one's gonna hurt you,"

(Misty tries to calm Marill down.)

Brock: "Misty, let me try,"

(Brock says, and rocks Marill.)

Brock: "Happy Marill."

(Soon, Marill feels a lot better.)

(Misty pouts.)

Misty: "Hey."

Brock: "It seems this Marill must be scared of you for some reason, Misty."

(Brock says.)

Misty: "I wonder why?"

(Misty wonders.)

Mew: "Well, you did try to catch Marill and throw a Pokeball at her unexpectedly, maybe that's why she's scared."

(Mew says.)

Tomo: "Make sense to me,"

(Tomo says.)

(Suddenly, they hear honking sounds and the group turn to see a tractor/trailer pulling up beside them.)

(The window rolls down to reveal Team Rocket in another one of their disguises.)

(Disguised as farmers in drab khaki clothing and sun-hats complete with white chin-straps.)

(Jessie says.)

Jessie: "Well howdy, kids! Are you young'uns heading up the road a piece?"

Mew: "Uhhh, I guess so,"

(Mew answers.)

(Then the male farmer says.)

???: "Then you're in luck, by crikey!"

(The group tilt their heads with confused looks.)

Jessie: "We're headed up to the north forty to plow something or slop something. So we'd be mighty happy to give you a lift, so just climb on in!"

(Jessie says.)

(Before the group can react, James leaps out of the truck and practically forces the group towards the trailer.)

(Soon, the group is inside the trailer of hay.)

(James jumps into the back of the trailer and throws his arm high.)

James: "Now for some Pokémon Picking!"

(And Meowth removes the glasses and cap.)

Meowth: "We got some ripe ones right in da back!"

(In the back of the trailer, three metallic hands grab Pikachu, Eevee, and Marill roughly, making the group turn back in shock.)

(Then the trailer takes it leave with the three Pokemon, leaving the trailer behind.)

(Mew calls out.)

Mew: "Pikachu! Eevee!"

(Misty groans.)

Misty: "I knew those farmers seemed phony!"

(Soon, the sun-roof of the truck opens and the farmers' clothes fly out.)

(With familiar laughter, Team Rocket pop out to make the scene and begin the motto.)

Jessie: Prepare for trouble! We just got three!

James: Make it double. We got Marill, Pikachu AND Eevee!

Jessie: To protect the world from devastation!

James: To unite all peoples within our nation!

(The truck drives over the horizon as Mew and the others chase after them.)

Mew: "Come back with those Pokémon!"

(Mew calls out)

(Team Rocket continues the motto.)

Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love!

James: To extend our reach to the stars above!

Jessie: Jessie!

James: James!

Jessie: Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!

James: Surrender now, or prepare to fight, fight, fight!

Meowth: That's right!

(The humans of the group shout.)

Everyone: "You can't get away with this!"

Jessie: "I'm afraid we can and will, twerps! We're getting away with Pikachu and Eevee, and with Marill, too!"

(Jessie says.)

James: "Yeah! Howdya like the sound of them apples you bunch of bratty little no-good..."

(James says.)

(And soon, Marill starts caterwauling, and Team rocket clutches their ears.)

(James screams.)

James: "AHHH! Why is it crying for crying out loud!"

(Pikachu and Eevee also clutch their ears as Marill cries away.)

(Meowth is also in pain that he is having trouble reaching the gas pedal, and is looking for control of the truck.)

(That causes the truck to spin to and fro across the road, smashing into a railing up the road.)

(That causes Team Rocket to be blasting off, Pikachu, Eevee, and Marill are thrown clear off the truck.)

(Team Rocket flies off as they scream.)

Team Rocket: "We're blasting off again!"

(Soon, Pikachu, Eevee, and Marill run down the hill.)

Mew: "Pikachu! Eevee!"

(Mew cries out as she leaps over the railing and takes off down the hill.)

(Misty passes Brock the little ones.)

Misty: "Here Brock, take Togepi and Pichu for me!"

Brock: "O-kay!"

(Brock says, and takes the two Pokemon.)

(Then Misty follows Mew.)

Misty: "Marill!"

Mew: "Come on Misty, let's hurry!"

(Mew says.)

Misty: "Right!"

(Misty says.)

(Both girls charge down the hill.)

(Mew swoops up Pikachu and Eevee while Misty scoops up Marill.)

(Just then, the girls trip and are thrown over the side of the cliff.)

(The two scream and fall and crash into the raging river below.)

(Tomo and Jen cry out.)

Tomo and Jen: "MEW!"

(And Brock cries out.)

Brock: "MISTY!"

(Brock, Tomo, Jen and the Pokemon follow the girls and Pokemon being swept down the river.)

(Tomo calls out.)

Tomo: "DON'T LET GO!"

(Brock calls out.)

Brock: "Hang on!"

Mew: "WE WILL!"

(Mew calls out.)

(And Misty calls out.)

Misty: "Just take care of Pichu and Togepi..."

(Jen calls out.)

Jen: "Don't worry! We'll get downstream somehow and save you guys, and Marill too!"

(Suddenly, the group hear a rumbling sound, making them turn to see the beautiful girl rumbling towards them on tip-toes and with her parasol trailing behind her.)

(She soon skids to a stop and breaths heavily to catch her breath.)

(Brock is very happy to see the lady from before.)

Brock: "My sweet angel is here! She's like a lovely dream come true!"

(Suddenly, the girl angrily grabs Tomo by the collar.)

the girl: "Alright, you weaselly Pokemon thief! What did you do with my little Marill?!"

Tomo: "Are you supposed to be a dream or a nightmare?!"

(Tomo panics.)

(The girl then angrily demands.)

The girl: "I heard you talking about my Marill, now where is it!"

Tomo: "YOUR MARILL?!"

(Tomo questions.)

The girl: "YES! What have you done with my Pokemon!"

(The girl demands.)

Jen: "It... went for a little swim."

(Jen sheepishly says.)

(Brock quickly takes Tomo off the girl's hand and allows him to fall on Amaura's back.)

(Then Brock says.)

Brock: "I believe I can rectify this terrible misapprehension!"

(and takes the girl's hand.)

Brock: "My name is Brock and I can assure you that neither of us had anything to do with your Pokémon's abduction! Please tell me your name so that I may emblazon it upon my heart!"

Wilhemina: "My name's Wilhemina, Brock,"

(The girl introduces herself.)

Brock: "Did you hear that guys! Ahhhhh, her last name is the same as my first name!"

(Brock says, in dream land.)

Tomo: "Yeah, what a coincidence,"

(Tomo replies, dumbfounded.)

(Togepi happily says.)

Togepi: "Toge-Toge-Piiiiii"

Pichu: "Pichu?"

(Pichu replies, confused.)

(Meanwhile down the river, Mew and Misty have crawled out of the river with the Pokemon by their side.)

Misty: "At least we're safe now..."

(Misty says.)

(Mew says.)

Mew: "And out of the river.

(And soon, Marill bursts into tears)

(Misty groans in pain.)

Misty: "Oh no, stop! I've had enough water for one day!"

(Marill continues crying, but Mew picks Marill up and tries to rock her to calm her down.)

(Sadly, it's not working.)

(Losing her temper, Misty screams.)

Misty: "STOP CRYING!"

(Marill freezes in shock, and begins to cry again.)

(Misty backs off in surprise.)

(Then Marill runs away in sulking terror.)

Mew: "Marill!"

(Mew calls out.)

(Misty shouts.)

Misty: "HEY! Where do you think you're going, you little cry-baby!"

(Mew, Misty, Pikachu, and Eevee rush off to catch up with Marill, unaware that the Aqua Mouse Pokemon has her ribbon left behind.)

(Marill runs blindly, crying until she trips over a rock and lands on her face and cries more.)

(Soon, Mew and the others are able to catch up,)

(Misty kneels to Marill.)

Misty: "Hey, what's the matter? Here."

(Misty picks up Marill, but the Pokemon slaps her hand and jumps away.)

Misty: "Don't do that!"

(Misty says, upset.)

Misty: "Go ahead and stay here and cry then!"

(and turns away from Marill.)

Mew: "But Misty..."

(Mew says.)

(Then Pikachu and Eevee walk to Misty.)

(Misty stares at Pikachu and Eevee, and then slowly turns to Marill and Mew.)

(Seeing that Misty lets out a sigh.)

(Soon, the group begins to walk together.)

Misty: "We'll find a way to get Marill back to its trainer,"

(Misty says.)

(Soon, Pikachu and Eevee walk beside Marill, and Marill and Pikachu are holding hands.)

(Mew thinks for a minute and says.)

Mew: "Marill are supposed to have super sensitive hearing, so I wonder if this little one could..."

(With an idea in mind, Misty turns to Marill.)

Misty: "Marill, if you try as hard as you can, you can use those cute little ears of yours and listen for your trainer. Wanna give it a shot?"

Marill: "Marill Mar?" (You think it'll work?)

(Marill asks.)

Pikachu: "Pika Pika!" (It just might!)

(Pikachu says.?

Mew: "Pikachu's right. It might work, so it's worth a try.

Marill: "Marill Marill," (Well, here goes.)

(Marill says, and begins to wiggle her ears.)

Misty: "Do you hear anything familiar?"

(Misty asks.)

(However, nothing comes to her hearts that are familiar.)

Mew: "Marill is still young so it might take a bit longer for her to pick up something,"

(Mew says.)

(Marill continues to try to pick up something, so far nothing.)

(Misty then loses her temper.)

Misty: "Can't you hurry up and hear faster?!"

(Marill begins to cry again, hearing that Misty loses her cool.)

(Mew picks up Marill and rocks her.)

Mew: "It's okay, Marill. It's okay."

(Misty panics.)

Misty: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! My mistake! I didn't mean to."

Mew: "It's okay Marill, it's okay!"

(Mew says, and Marill stops crying.)

(Mew smiles and says.)

Mew: "Tell you what, we'll just go search for your trainer, okay?"

(Marill nods her head in reply.)

(Meanwhile, Brock and the others, along with Wilhemina, are still searching for the others by walking down the river.)

(Tomo looks around.)

Tomo: "Mew and Misty will take care of your Marill, you'll see."

Brock: "And I'll promise to look after her in sickness and in health, for richer for poorer, till death do us part, I do, I DO!"

(Brock happily says.)

Tomo: "You're gonna scare her off, Brock."

(Tomo says.)

(Wilhemina sadly says.)

Wilhemina: "This is all my fault, I never should have let little Marill out of my sight for a second!"

(And comes to a stop.)

Brock: "Don't blame yourself, Wilhemina."

(Brock says.)

(But Wilhemina says.)

Wilhemina: "This is the first time it's been on its own, it's just a baby, it could wander around for days or even weeks and never be able to find its way home, and then I'll never see my poor little Marill ever again."

(And soon begins to cry.)

(But Brock grabs her hand and she lifts her parasol to see Brock staring into her eyes.)

(Brock says.)

Brock: "Listen to me, Wilhemina. We'll find Marill, no matter what it takes! Trust me, we'll find Marill!"

Wilhelmina: "You think so?"

(Wilhelmina asks.)

Brock: "I know so, and no matter what happens and no matter how long it takes, I promise I'll be here for you until Marill is back safe and sound!"

(Brock says.)

(Wilhelmina happily says.)

Wilhelmina: "Ohhhh! You're great, Brock!"

Brock: "So are you, Wilhemina,"

(Brock says.)

(Jen smiles and says.)

Jen: "I think she really likes him."

(Suddenly, Togepi and Pichu jump off Amaura's back and find something.)

(Togepi and Pichu pick up what seems to be a pink ribbon.)

(And soon catches the other's attention.)

Jen: "That ribbon!"

(Jen says, surprised.)

Wilhemina: "That's my little Marill's ribbon!"

(Wilhemina says.)

(Meanwhile, Mew and Misty are resting while the Pokemon have something to eat.)

Misty: "I hope we find that Marill's trainer soon."

(Misty says.)

Mew: "Me too. I also hope we find Brock and the others."

(Mew says.)

Misty: "If we don't we'll be wondering around this forest for a week."

(Misty adds.)

(Suddenly, Marill sees a Butterfree flying overhead.)

(Curious, the Marill chases the Butterfree.)

(Misty calls out.)

Misty: "Hey! Where are you going? Come back!"

Mew: "Marill! You're going to get lost if you wander off!"

(Mew says.)

(Marill continues to chase the Butterfree until it comes across a field of flowers where another butterfree is close by.)

(With delight, Marill playfully spray Water Gun at the Butterfree, but they keep ducking and popping up elsewhere.)

(Soon, Mew and the others arrive.)

Misty: "There you are! Were you getting in a little target practice, Marill?"

(Misty replies.)

(Suddenly, Pikachu and Eevee tremble in terror.)

Misty: "What's the matter?"

(Misty asks.)

Mew: "Uh Misty..."

(Mew says, worried.)

(Misty looks to see a group of angry and wet Caterpie and Weedle staring at them.)

Misty: "A big bunch of bug Pokemon!"

(Misty says, worried.)

Mew: "And if they're Weedle around, then we're sure to find..."

(Mew says.)

(Soon, a swarm of Beedrill appears.)

(The group, excluding Marill, scream and panic.)

(The swarm begins to charge towards them.)

(Meanwhile, the rest of the gang search through the forest.)

Brock: "Okay. This could be a little tricky in those shoes, so let me give you a helping hand, Wilhemina."

(Brock says.)

(Pleased, Wilhemina says.)

Wilhemina: "Oh, Brock. You're such a gentleman."

(However, Wilhelmina trips anyway and falls, but Brock catches her.)

(Brock asks.)

Brock: "Are you okay, Wilhemina? You're not hurt or anything, are you?"

Wilhemina: "I'm fine."

(Wilhemina says.)

Brock: "And so am I."

(Brock says.)

(Suddenly, they hear a familiar Pokemon.)

(Jen recognizes.)

Jen: "Pikachu?"

(Soon, they see Mew, Misty and the others running for their lives.)

Tomo: "There they are!"

(Tomo says.)

(Then Brock and Wilhemina take off running.)

Wilhemina: "I'm coming, Marill!"

(They soon see Mew and the others running from a beedrill swarm.)

(Brock and the others skid to a stop and keep running.)

(Wilhelmina trips and fall on the others as Mew, Misty, and the others run past them.)

(Wilhemina cries out.)

Wilhemina: "My Marill!"

(But Brock says.)

Brock: "The Beedrill are coming! Get down!"

(And everyone ducks their heads, while Mew, Misty and the others keep running.)

(Marill is laughing the whole way.)

Misty: "Believe me, Beedrill are nothing to laugh at!"

(Misty says.)

(But soon, they reach a dead end.)

Pikachu: "Pika!" (Dead end!)

(Pikachu panics.)

Misty: "Oh, no! We can't climb this! It's a dead end!"

(Misty panics.)

(Eevee turns around.)

Eevee: "Eevee Eevee!" (And here they come!)

(The others turn to see the swarm is coming.)

(Mew then has an idea.)

Mew: "Pikachu! Eevee! Use Thunderbolt together!"

(Pikachu and Eevee uses the attack that zap the Beedrill into flying away.)

Misty: "You did it!"

(Misty happily cheers.)

(Even Pikachu and Eevee are pleased.)

(Suddenly, raindrops start coming down as the sky darkens, meaning a rain storm is coming.)

(Meanwhile, Brock and the others hide under a tree, waiting for the storm to pass.)

(Brock mutters to himself.)

Brock: "If we find Marill, Wilhemina will leave and I'll be unhappy. If we don't find Marill, Wilhemina will stay and she'll be unhappy."

Jen: "Hey, Brock, what are you mumbling about?"

(Jen asks)

Brock: "It's a no-win situation for Wilhemina and me, Jen."

(Brock answers, making Jen and Tomo confused.)

(Then Brock says.)

Brock: "She'll only be happy if we find Marill, but if we find Marill, Wilhemina's gonna leave. I'm either gonna end up happy but unhappy, or unhappy but happy."

Tomo: "What?"

(Tomo says, confused.)

(And Brock screams.)

Brock: "WHY CAN'T I HAVE A RAY OF SUNSHINE IN MY LIFE?!"

(Soon, lightning flashes, frightening Pichu, Togepi, and Wilhemina.)

(Togepi withdrawal and Pichu hide in Tomo's backpack)

(Brock comforts her.)

Brock: "Don't be scared, Wilhemina. I'm right here. Right here."

(Then Tomo reassures.)

Tomo: "Don't worry. Soon as the storm's over, we'll go find Misty. I hope."

(Meanwhile, Mew and the others have taken refuge inside a tree.)

Misty: "It's really pouring."

(Misty says.)

Pikachu: "Pikachu." (Really hard.)

(Pikachu says.)

Mew: "I wonder if the others are caught in the storm."

(Mew says.)

(Soon, another flash of lightning and the boom of thunder occurs, frightening Marill.)

Misty: "It's okay, Marill. We won't let anything bad happen to you."

(Misty reassures.)

(But a few more flashes of lightning and boom of thunder cause Marill to cry and run away in terror.)

Misty: "Marill, wait!"

(Misty calls out.)

Mew: "Marill, come back!"

(Mew calls out.)

(Soon, Mew and the others chase after Marill.)

Misty: "Wait for us, Marill! Come back here!"

(Misty calls out.)

(Suddenly, Marill stops as a lightning bolt strikes a tree, causing it to fall towards Marill.)

(Misty cries out.)

Misty: "Marill! Quick! Get out of the way!"

(But Marill is too scared to move.)

Mew: "Marill! Hurry!"

(Mew calls out.)

(The tree ends up coming closer.)

(Misty cries out.)

Misty: "Marill!"

(Misty then leaps into action and saves Marill from being crushed.)

Mew: "Misty! Marill!"

(Mew calls out and rushes to them.)

(Pikachu and Eevee do the same.)

(Luckily, neither of them are badly hurt.)

Misty: "Marill, are you okay?"

(Misty asks.)

Marill: "Marill," (I'm fine.)

(Marill says.)

(Then Mew sternly says.)

Mew: "Marill, you should never run out during a storm like that! It's dangerous!"

(Misty is just as mad.)

Misty: "Mew's right! Don't you know you could've been hurt very badly just then?"

(But then, Misty smiles with kindness and says.)

Misty: "But you weren't, and I should just be glad you're alright, I guess."

(Soon, Marill hugs Misty, and vice versa.)

Misty: "Cutie pie."

(Misty replies.)

(Soon, the storm has come and gone, and the group soon crosses a high bridge over the river.)

Misty: "I know it's kinda high up, but don't worry about a thing because we'll have you across and back to your trainer before you know it."

(Misty says.)

(Marill nervously replies.)

Mew: "Don't worry, we're almost there."

(Mew says.)

(Suddenly, a mechanical hand pops out of the bushes and starts shaking the bridge.)

(Marill quickly grabs on to Misty as Pikachu and Eevee gather to Mew.)

(Misty panics.)

Misty: "What's happening?! Why's the bridge shaking?!"

(Soon, Team Rocket's balloon appear, revealing that they're behind it.)

Jessie: "You know that old saying, James."

(Jessie says.)

James: "You always hurt the ones you glove."

(James says.)

Mew and Misty: "Team Rocket!"

(Mew and Misty exclaim.)

Meowth: "Who was you expecting? The Wizard of Oz?"

(Meowth calls out.)

(Then says to James.)

Meowth: "Shake em up, Jimmy boy!"

James: "Palms away!"

(James says.)

(James fires another mechanical hand, which grabs Pikachu and pulls him back.)

(Mew cries out.)

Mew: "Pikachu, no!

(Pikachu cries out.)

Pikachu: "Pika!" (Help me!)

(After Pikachu is reeled in, the other mechanical hand retracts.)

Meowth: "How about a big hand for the little Marill?"

(Meowth says.)

(Then the mechanical hand fires again and grabs Marill.)

Misty: "How about not?!"

(Misty says.)

(Misty, Mew, and Eevee leap into the arm of the mechanical hand and grab on.)

(Soon, the weight of the three begin to pull Meowth down, Jessie catches him before he can fall.)

Jessie: "Whatever you do, Meowth, don't let go!"

(Jessie calls out.)

(But Meowth says.)

Meowth: "It's too heavy!"

James: "Don't make excuses, just hang on!"

(James says.)

Misty: "We'll be okay, Marill. We're a much better team than they are!"

(Misty reassures.)

(Meowth screams.)

Meowth: "I gotta let em go!"

(Meowth finally lets go, sending the four plummeting to the river.)

(Misty hugs Marill.)

Misty: "I won't let you get hurt, Marill!"

(Suddenly, at the very last minute, a Wine Whip from out of nowhere saves the group.)

(The four look down to see Brock and the rest of the gang, and the Vine Whip comes from Safe, the Bulbasaur.)

Brock: "Nice save Sage!"

(Brock says.)

Misty: "You could say that again. Thanks, guys."

(Misty says.)

(Soon, Wilhelmina reunites with her Pokemon.)

Wilhelmina: "Oh, my little Marill is safe! Thank goodness!"

(Marill is happy to be with her trainer again.)

(They're both relieved to be reunited.)

(Then Tomo calls out.)

Tomo: "Sage, Razor Leaf attack, now!"

(Sage uses Razor Leaf, punctures the balloon, causing Team Rocket to crash to the ground and let Pikachu go.)

(Luckily, Mew catches Pikachu in time.)

Mew: "Pikachu!"

(Just then, Team Rocket gets out the balloon and stands.)

Meowth: "You can't get rid of us that easy!"

(Meowth says.)

James: "This isn't over yet."

(James says.)

Jessie: "We're not leaving here without those Pokemon! Outnumbered or not!"

(Jessie says.)

(She throws her Pokeball.)

Jessie: "Go, Arbok!"

(James then throws his Pokeball.)

James: "Let's go and get em, Weezing!"

(With that, Arbok and Weezing come out of the Pokeballs.)

Misty: "You're not getting anything!"

(Misty says, and throws her Pokeball.)

Misty: "I choose you, Poliwag! Go!"

(And Poliwag comes out of the Pokeball, ready to battle.)

(Then James says.)

James: "Weezing, use your Sludge attack!"

(Both of them fire the attack.)

(Then Misty calls out.)

Misty: "Poliwag, Water Gun attack!"

(The Water Gun fires and is able to send Weezing flying back.)

(Arbok fires the Poison String.)

(Poliwag dodge, but they're heading towards Misty and Mew.)

(Jen cries out.)

Jen: "Look out!"

Tomo: "Get out of the way!"

(Tomo calls out.)

(Suddenly, Marill leaps out of Wilhemina's arms and protects the girls with her own Water Gun attack.)

(Then Marill lands on Misty's shoulder.)

Misty: "I told you we make a great team."

(Misty says.)

(Jessie says.)

Jessie: "We're not losing today!"

James: "It's three for one day!"

(James says.)

(Then Mew says.)

Mew: "Pikachu, Eevee, go!"

(Then, the two send out a Thunderbolt attack that sends Team Rocket into their balloon basket.)

(Suddenly, the electrical power causes the hot air generator to explode and send Team Rocket flying.)

(Team Rocket screams.)

Team Rocket: "Team Rocket's blasting off again!"

(And soon, Team Rocket is gone.)

(Misty happily says.)

Misty: "Yay! We did it! We showed em! Yay for us! We did it! Thanks, guys!"

(Marill, Pikachu, Eevee, and Mew happily agree.)

(Wilhemina happily says.)

Wilhemina: "It looks like you made a lot of new friends for yourself."

(Marill happily agrees.)

(Later in the evening, Mew and her friends are about to say their farewells to Wilhelmina and Marill.)

(Wilhemina happily says.)

Wilhemina: "I can't thank you enough. I'm so grateful that I, we, would love it if you would stay at our lake house for a while."

Mew: "Thanks a lot, but we've got to get to Azalea Town."

(Mew says.)

(Then Brock says.)

Brock: "Meeting you has been one of the best things I ever done and I hope with all my heart we meet again someday."

Wilhemina: "I feel the same way."

(Wilhemina enters her limousine and rides away as Marill looks back at Misty and Mew.)

Misty: "Marill."

(Misty says.)

(Mew says.)

Mew: "See ya!"

Brock: "Bye, for now!"

(Brock says.)

(Soon, Brock lost his composure.)

Brock: "I'll never see her again!"

(Misty calls out.)

Misty: "We''ll miss you. Take care! Bye, Marill!

Mew: "And stay safe!"

(Mew calls out.)
