Chapter 21: Chikorita's Big Upset

(Today, Mew and her friends arrive at a small town, and Mew is now having a Pokemon battle with a young trainer they meet on their way to Azalea Town.)

(Mew is battling with Chikorita and the young trainer is battling with a Raticate.)

(Mew calls out.)

Mew: "Chikorita, Tackle attack!"

Chikorita charges for the attack.

(The young trainer calls out.)

young trainer: "Raticate, Hyper Fang, now!"

(Raticate leaps into battle as it performs Hyper Fang.)

(It strikes Chikorita easily and knocks it back.)

(Mew kneels down and asks.)

Mew: "Chikorita! Are you alright?!"

(Chikorita quickly gets up and charges back into the battle.)

(The young trainer calls out.)

young trainer: "Raticate, stop it with your Quick Attack!"

(Raticate dashes in and nails Chikorita again.)

(Mew then says.)

Mew: "Good job, Chikorita, but I think you had enough for today, so return."

(However, Chikorita refuses.)

Mew: "Didn't you hear me?"

(Mew asks, confused.)

(Watching the battle are Brock and the others.)

(Brock says.)

Brock: "Chikorita's taken a lot of attacks and it's gotta be exhausted. Why would it want to go on?"

Misty: "I don't know, but Mew better call it back, quick."

(Misty says.)

(Chikorita then launches a Razor Leaf attack, and it hits the target.)

Mew: "Nice Razor Leaf, good aim, but it's a good idea for you to get some rest. I'll have Pikachu take over from here..."

(Mew says.)

(However, the mention of Pikachu's name, Chikorita gaze hardens angrily.)

(Mew holds out her Pokeball and calls out.)

Mew: "Chikorita, return!"

(However, Chikorita dodges Mew's attempt to recall her.)

Mew: "Chikorita, I said return!"

(Mew says, and tries calling it back.)

(However, Chikorita keeps leaping away from the red beam of light.)

(Mew, and in fact, everyone is left exasperated and baffled.)

Mew: "Chikorita?"

(Mew says, confused.)

(Suddenly, the young trainer's mother calls out.)

young trainer's mother: "Dinner time!"

(Then the trainer calls back his Pokemon.)

young trainer: "Raticate, return."

(And Raticate returns to the Pokeball.)

(Mew looks to see the sun is setting.)

Mew: "I guess we better call it a draw. It's getting late."

(Mew says.)

young trainer: "Yeah. Besides, I can't wait all night for you to get your Chikorita to listen."

(The boy says, and hurries home.)

young trainer: "Bye."

Mew: "Bye."

(Mew says.)

(Then turns to Chikorita.)

Mew: "Chikorita, we would've won for sure if you'd have just listened to me."

(Then Chikorita is called back to her Pokeball.)

(She looks at Chikorita's Pokeball in concern.)

(Later in the night, Mew and her friends arrive in the Pokemon center and are talking to Professor Oak.)

Professor Oak: "Good to see you again, Mew. How's the journey going?"

(Professor Oak says.)

Mew: "It's going great, Professor!"

(Mew answers.)

Mew: "I already won a Zephyr Badge at the Violet City gym!"

Professor Oak: "Well, congratulations to you. That's quite an accomplishment. But I hope in all the excitement you don't forget to deliver that GS Ball."

(Professor Oak says.)

Mew: "Don't worry Professor, I won't forget that!"

(Mew says.)

(Just then, Muk comes into the screen.)

(Professor Oak says.)

Professor Oak: "As you can see, your Muk is just as playful and affectionate as ever... especially around dinner time! Stop it Muk! That tickles! Bye for now! Call again soon!"

(Soon, the call ends.)

(Mew then joins the others as the Pokemon are having dinner.)

(Mew happily says.)

Mew: "Looks like everybody's enjoying their dinner."

(However, Mew notices that Chikorita isn't.)

(She is sitting at the window, staring out into the darkness with a forlorn slump.)

(Mew walks over and sits next to Chikorita with a smile.)

Mew: "Hey Chikorita, why don't you go eat with the other Pokemon?"

(Chikorita turns to her with a lovelorn sigh.)

Chikorita: "Chika?" (With them?).

(Then turns her head away snootily as Pikachu and Eevee walk over with small pieces of food.)

(Pikachu says.)

Pikachu: "Pika." (Have some.)

(Then Pikachu and Eevee place the food on the floor next to Chikorita.)

(However, Chikorita turns the offer down, and flicks the food away with her leaf.)

Chikorita: "Chika!" (Leave me alone!)

Jen: "That wasn't nice."

(Jen says.)

Tomo: "Chikorita has been acting weird lately."

(Tomo says.)

(Then Brock asks.)

Brock: "I wonder why Chikorita's been acting so nasty?"

Misty: "Chikorita's in such a bad mood we should start calling it Krabbie."

(Misty says.)

(Suddenly, a familiar voice appears

???: "Pokemon behavior is clearly driven by psychology."

(Everyone turns to see Nurse Joy, but is dressed like a doctor and not her usual nurse outfit.)

(Nurse Joy asks.)

Nurse Joy: "Does that Chikorita belong to you?"

(Everyone looks in surprise.)

Mew: "Aaah, yes ma'am."

(Mew answers.)

Nurse Joy: "And what's your name?"

(Nurse Joy asks.)

(Mew answers.)

Mew: "I'm Mew."

Tomo: "I'm Tomo."

(Tomo says.)

(Then Jen ays.)

Jen: "I'm Jen."

Misty: "I'm Misty."

(Misty says.)

(Then asks.)

Misty: "And I bet your name's Nurse Joy, isn't it?"

Nurse Joy: "Correct!"

(Nurse Joy answers, and adjusts her glasses.)

Nurse Joy: "And I have a degree in Pokemon Psychology from Celadon University. I provide innovative counseling techniques and new Pokemon Therapy!"

Mew: "Therapy? What's Therapy?"

(Mew asks.)

Misty: "Therapy is what helps you with your psychological problems."

(Misty answers.)

Mew: "Oh."

(Mew replies.)

(Just then, Brock comes up and says.)

Brock: "My name is Brock and I need you badly! Uhhh, for psychological counseling I mean! I have this feeling that's hard to describe. Like my heart's filled with emptiness!"

Nurse Joy: "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I only deal with Pokemon."

(Nurse Joy says.)

(But Brock presses.)

Brock: "But you'd find me MUCH more interesting than a Pokemon."

(Then Misty clutches Brock's ear.)

Misty: "I wouldn't bet on it."

(Togepi and Pichu laugh.)

Nurse Joy: "I have an idea, Mew! Why don't you and your Pokemon join me, and we'll have a counseling session?"

(Nurse Joy says.)

Mew: "But... I don't have a problem"

(Mew says.)

Nurse Joy: "Maybe, but I'm going to need your help to explore the issues that may be causing your Chikorita's behavior."

(Nurse Joy says.)

Mew: "Oh... okay..."

(Mew says.)

(Soon, Mew and the others arrive in the counseling session.)

(Misty and the others sitting close by.)

(Chikorita is on a stool between Mew and Nurse Joy.)

(Mew explains everything that has happened earlier today.)

(Nurse Joy takes notes.)

Nurse Joy: "Interesting. You say Chikorita's refusal to return occurred while you were battling another trainer and his Raticate earlier this evening?"

Mew: "That's right, Chikorita took a lot of damage and she was pretty worn out, so I wanted her to return and take a rest. But Chikorita wouldn't let Pikachu take over."

(Mew explains.)

(Then says.)

Mew: "The truth is, this actually isn't the first time that happened, and not just with Pikachu. Chikorita also did the same with Eevee. Before reaching the town when I battle with Chikorita, she seems to act more stubborn when I mention Pikachu or Eevee to switch places with her."

Nurse Joy: "I think I know the problem."

(Nurse Joy says.)

Mew: "What is it?"

(Mew asks.)

Nurse Joy: "Chikorita was suffering from envy."

(Nurse Joy says.)

Mew: "Envy?"

(Mew asks, a little surprised and concerned.)

Mew: "You mean, jealousy?"

(Muffled with a cloth in his mouth, Brock says.)

Brock: "Why do we have to only talk about Chikorita?! When is Nurse Joy gonna concentrate on me?!"

Misty: "One mental case at a time, please."

(Misty says.)

Mew: "So you're saying that Chikorita is jealous of Pikachu and Eevee. But, I give Chikorita plenty of love and attention like all my other, Nurse Joy. Why would she be jealous?"

(Nurse Joy explains.)

Nurse Joy: "You wanted to substitute Pikachu during your earlier just when Chikorita thought she was on the verge of winning a battle for you, so it's understandable that Chikorita feels that you trust and care more for Pikachu, and she's jealous. And I feel it's the same for Eevee."

Mew: "Poor Chikorita."

(Mew sadly says.)

Nurse Joy: "Don't worry, Mew, I think we can work through it."

(Nurse Joy says.)

(Nurse Joy then leads the group into a small garden set up in the Pokemon Center.)

(Instantly, Chikorita leaps out of Mew's arm and onto the grass.)

(Mew smiles to see how happy Chikorita is.)

Mew: "Chikorita is a Grass type Pokemon, So it needs a lot of plants so it can be calmed and comfortable."

(Mew says.)

(As Nurse Joy talks, Chikorita nuzzles against a leaf, looking a little unsure of herself.)

(Brock says.)

Brock: "I'm calm and comfortable when I'm around Nurse Joy... so I guess that must make me HER type!"

(Then Misty pulls him away and says.)

Misty: "Can it, Casanova!"

(Togepi and Pichu chirp and Squeak as he laughs.)

(Nurse Joy turns to Mew.)

Nurse Joy: "Why don't you try to get Chikorita to return to her Pokéball now?"

Mew: "Chikorita, return!"

(Mew calls out, doing just that.)

(Chikorita returns to the Pokeball.)

(Mew turns to Nurse Joy and asks.)

Mew: "Nurse Joy, do you really think this psychology stuff will help my Chikorita?"

Nurse Joy: "Yes I do!"

(Nurse Joy answers.)

Nurse Joy: "The new Pokemon Therapies are quite effective, but I think it's best if your Chikorita stays here in the greenhouse tonight."

Mew: "Sure."

(Mew says, and gives Nurse Joy her Pokeball.)

Pikachu: "Pika." (I hope)

(Pikachu says.)

Eevee: "Eevee." (Me too.)

(Eevee says.)

(Later in the night, everyone is already fast asleep.)

(However, Pikachu and Eevee aren't.)

(They can't seem to sleep.)

(They both get up and head into the greenhouse, and sneak through the door.)

(Pikachu and Eevee stop at the pedestal at the center of the room.)

(Pikachu calls out.)

Pikachu: "Pika Pika," (Chikorita!)

Eevee: "Eevee Eevee." (Chikorita, we need to talk to you!)

(Eevee calls out.)

(The Pokeball begins to shake before Chikorita emerges.)

(Chikorita notices an open door and rushes out, unaware that Pikachu and Eevee begin following after her or the security camera have captured everything.)

(Pikachu calls out.)

Pikachu: "Pika!" (Hold up!)

Chikorita: "Chiko" (Go away.)

(Chikorita refuses.)

(Pikachu calls out.)

Pikachu: "Pika Pika Pikachu." (We didn't mean to make you jealous.)

Eevee: "Eevee Eevee. Eevee Eevee Vee," (Come back with us. We have to get back to the Pokemon Center.)

(However, Chikorita launches a Razor Leaf at them, and allows herself to escape into the tall grass.)

(Pikachu and Eevee follow.)

Pikachu: "Pika! Pika! Pikachu! (Come back! Come out! Stop hiding!)

Eevee: "Eevee Eevee! Eevee Vee Eevee!" (Please come back! Mew will be very worried!)

(Chikorita manages to sneak off long enough for Pikachu and Eevee to walk past her.)

(She then escapes to a large, empty warehouse.)

(Upon arriving, Chikorita dusts off one of the boxes and uses it as a place to sleep.)

(Later in the night, Chikorita continues to sleep.)

(Unaware that three Pokemon are standing over her She wakes up to see.)

(a Hitmonchan, a Machoke, and a Hitmonlee.)

(Then hear a loud.)

Primeape: "PRIMMMME! PRIME-APE!"

(Chikorita looks up to see a Primeape standing on a few crates.)

(However, Chikorita yawns and goes back to sleep without a care.)

(Primeape then throws what seems like a bolt at her.)

(Chikorita quickly retaliates as Primeape leaps down towards her with a Vine Whip.)

(Soon, both Pokemon land on the ground.)

(In seconds, Primeape falls and is knocked out, surprising the other Pokemon.)

(Chikorita turns to see the three Pokemon staring at her.)

(Chikorita calls out, ready to fight.)

Chikorita: "Chiko Chiko?" (You want some?)

(The Pokemon stare at each other, ready to fight, but the three fighting types bow to Chikorita, recognizing her as strongest.)

(Chikorita smiles and says.)

Chikorita: "Chiko. Chiko Chiko." (Well, now. That's more like it.)

(The next day, realizing that Pikachu, Eevee, and Chikorita are missing, they watch the surveillance tape to see Chikorita has escaped, and Pikachu and Eevee follow from close behind.)

Nurse Joy: "Yep, this is a text-book case."

(Nurse Joy says.)

Mew: "Case of what?"

(Mew asks.)

Nurse Joy: "That Chikorita craves your attention and an excellent way to get it is by running away."

(Nurse Joy says.)

Tomo: "But why'd Pikachu and Eevee go too?"

(Tomo asks.)

(Then Misty answers.)

Misty: "I bet Pikachu and Eevee followed Chikorita to try and get her to come back."

Mew: "You're right, Pikachu and Eevee might blame themselves for this, I gotta get out there and look for them!"

(Mew says.)

Nurse Joy: "I think you'd better hurry, Mew."

(Nurse Joy says.)

Jen: "How come?"

(Jen asks.)

(Nurse Joy explains.)

Nurse Joy: "This is a pretty tough neighborhood, and it's got some pretty rough Pokemon!"

Brock: "You mean Pikachu, Eevee, and Chikorita might get attacked?!"

(Brock asks, shocked.)

Misty: "That's awful!"

(Misty says.)

Mew: "We gotta go find them."

(Mew says.)

(With that, everyone begins to search for the three missing Pokemon as they call out their names.)

(Sadly, no one seems to answer.)

Jen: "I hope they're alright."

(Jen says.)

Brock: "If we don't find them soon, they could get into big trouble."

(Brock says.)

Misty: "We've gotta have a plan! This place is way too big, we're never going to find them if we just run around like this."

(Misty says.)

Tomo: "But how?"

(Tomo asks.)

(Everyone begins to think of an idea.)

(Soon, Brock has the answer.)

Brock: "I know! Bulbasaur is a grass Pokemon just like Chikorita, so he should be able to sniff out Chikorita's scent! And if he can find Chikorita, we're bound to find Pikachu and Eevee. Too!"

Mew: "Let's try."

(Mew says, and throws her Pokeball to call out.)

Mew: "Bulbasaur, I choose you!"

(Bulbasaur comes out of the Pokeball.)

(Mew kneels to Bulbasaur and says.)

Mew: "Bulbasaur, we need you to try and sniff out Chikorita! If you can pick up her scent, maybe we can find her!"

Bulbasaur: "Bulbasaur!" (On it, Mew!)

(Bulbasaur answers.)

(Bulbasaur begins to sniff around.)

(Soon, Bulbasaur finds the scent.)

Bulbasaur: "Bulba! Bulbasaur!"(Gotcha! Follow me!)

(Bulbasaur soon begins to track down the scent with Mew and the others close behind.)

(Jessie says.)

Jessie: "If I were you I'd prepare for trouble!"

James: "You're sounding even scarier, Jessie!"

(James says.)

(Jessie giggles happily.)

Jessie: "Oh, thank you, James. I've been working on my evil inflections lately!"

James: "This is it, Jessie!"

(James says.)

James: "The twerp said that Pikachu, Eevee and Chikorita have run off together, this is our chance to grab all three of them and bring them back to the Boss!"

Jessie: "And now all we have to do is get to them before the twerps do!"

(Jessie says.)

(James brings out a radio.)

James: "Ahhh, James to Meowth, do you read me, Meowth, over? How's the view from up there today?"

Meowth: "Purr-fectly clear, Jimbo,"

(Meowth says, over the radio.)

(Up above, Meowth hovers by in the Meowth Balloon.)

James: "We just heard the twerp's Pikachu, Eevee, and Chikorita are on the loose. Try to spot them."

(James says over the radio.)

Meowth: "Roger-wilco."

(Meowth answers, and brings out binoculars to survey the scene.)

(Soon, Meowth spots something.)

Meowth: "Whadda we have here?"

(Meowth spots the abandoned warehouse, and spots something moving smoothly through the long grass.)

(Meowth has the binoculars zoom in and see Pikachu and Eevee.)

Meowth: "It's our old friend, Pikachu and Eevee!"

(Meowth says.)

(On the ground floor, Pikachu spots the warehouse.)

Pikachu: "Pika!" (She's here!)

(Pikachu says.)

(Then Eevee says.)

Eevee: "Eev Eevee," (Let's check.)

(Pikachu and Eevee enter the warehouse.)

(Pikachu calls out.)

Pikachu: "Pika Pika! Pika! Pika Pika! (Chikorita! Come out! Chikorita!)

Eevee: "Eevee Eevee! Eevee!" (Where are you?! Chikorita!)

(Suddenly, Chikorita appears on the top of the crate.)

Chikorita: "Chika!" ("Up here!")

(Pikachu is relieved.)

Pikachu: "Pikaaaaaaa! Pika!" (At last! Found you!)

(as Chikorita lands on the ground.)

(However, she mutters snootily as she turns her head.)

Chikorita: "Chika." (Leave me alone.)

Eevee: "Eevee, Eevee Eevee Vee Eevee. Eevee Eevee." (Come on, let's head back to the Pokemon Center. Mew must be worried about us.)

(Eevee says.)

(However, Chikorita refuses.)

Chikorita: "Chika-Chika!" (Go away!)

Pikachu: "Pika?" (Say what?)

(Pikachu says, confused.)

(Suddenly, from the bushes, something or someone appears.)

(And the Team Rocket motto begins as Team Rocket appears.)

Jessie: Pikachu, prepare for trouble!

James: Chikorita and Eevee, you better make it double!

Jessie: To protect the world from devastation!

James: To unite all peoples within our nation!

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 (over the radio): Meowth in flight!

(Team Rocket jump off and lands in front of the three.)

Jessie: "How nice to see you again, Pikachu!"

(Jessie says.)

James: "And it's a pleasure to see you, too, Chikorita."

(James says, and he brings out a net.)

Jessie: "We have a lot of catching up to do."

(Jessie says.)

(James throws out the net which flies towards them, but suddenly, Primeape leaps out to their rescue, and smashes into the net, knocking it off course.)

(James says, shocked.)

James: "A Primeape?! Where did that come from?"

Jessie: "What's the big idea, fuzz-ball!?"

(Jessie demands.)

(Primeape throws the net aside angrily.)

(Then Machamp, Hitmonlee, and Hitmonchan slide in front of Pikachu, Eevee, and Chikorita.)

(Jessie and James recoil back.)

James: "How do we keep them from beating us up?"

(James asks.)

(Jessie answers.)

Jessie: "Try reverse psychology?"

(Then James calls out.)

James: "HEY! TEAM LOSER! GET OUT OF OUR WAY BEFORE WE KNOCK YOU OUT OF OUR WAY!"

Jessie: "You don't scare Team Rocket!"

(Jessie says.)

(Then Jessie and James begin laughing.)

(Chikorita calls out.)

Chikorita: "CHIKA! Chika-Chika!" (Alright! Show those losers!)

(Primeape then slams his fist into a nearby can, denting it.)

(Then Machamp, Hitmonchan, and Hitmonlee put on a display of fighting faces, causing Team Rocket to beg for mercy.)

(Through the walkie talkie, Meowth shouts in anger.)

Meowth: "AHOY! Stop groveling like a coupla wimps and stand up ta dem bullies!"

(Jessie and James look up to see the balloon.)

(Jessie shouts.)

Jessie: "Let's switch places! Then let's see how brave you are down here!"

James: "What else can we do?!"

(James demands.)

(With a smug smile, Meowth says.)

Meowth: "It's all up ta me."

(Then lifts up a remote control.)

Meowth:: "Okay, my new secret weapon'll get ya outta dere!"

(and laughs as he presses a button.)

(Then a massive fist emerges through the roof of the warehouse, startling everyone to look around.)

(What they see is a massive black robot made of tires, smashing its way through the building towards Primeape.)

(Meanwhile, Bulbasaur continues to sniff for Chikorita.)

(Suddenly, they hear a loud noise to see Team Rocket's balloon, and the robot.)

Jen: "That balloon!"

(Jen calls out.)

Misty: "Team Rocket again!"

(Misty says.)

Tomo: "Look at that robot!"

(Tomo says, shocked.)

(Brock agrees.)

Brock: "It's tremendous!"

Mew: "I hope they don't find Chikorita, Eevee, and Pikachu before we do!"

(Mew says.)

Everyone: "Yeah."

(Jessie and James are hoisted up by ropes from the balloon up to the basket.)

(Jessie asks.)

Jessie: "What is that? Looks like a pile of old tires!"

James: "It looks like a walking recycling center!"

(James says.)

(Then Meowth says.)

Meowth: "Not only did I save a ton o money on materials, but it's good for da environment too!"

(Down below, Chikorita lays out a plan of attack.)

(Then the four fighters leap into action.)

Meowth: "I'll show 'em! I'll give dem a fight dey won't faget!"

(Meowth says, and has the robot knock all four of them.)

(Seeing them down, Meowth says.)

Meowth: "It's time to re-tire. So whaddya tink, my recycled rubber robot packs a pretty punch, don't it?"

Jessie: "Excellent, Meowth!"

(Jessie says, impressed.)

James: "I'm pleased as punch!"

(James says with a smile.)

(They both happily say, )

Jessie and James: "We're finally safe!"

(Recycla-Bot lets out a roar.)

Recycla-Bot: "GRRRRRRAAAARRRR!"

Chikorita: "CHIKA!" (Bring it!)

(Chikorita says, determined.)

Pikachu: "Pika Pika! (Chikorita!)

(Pikachu calls out.)

(But Chikorita dashes off.)

(Eevee cries out.)

Eevee: "Eevee Eevee! Eevee!" (Don't go!)

(Chikorita tries to fight the robot, but one step of it sends her back.)

(Pikachu tries to use his Thunderbolt, but to no avail.)

(Even Eevee tries to use her Swift, but nothing.)

(Meowth laughs.)

Meowth: "Don't waste ya energy! Your pathetic Pikachu electricity won't work against dis ting! And since I'm all da way up here in dis balloon, none of your electric attacks can touch me!"

(Jessie and James however are fried.)

Jessie: "Unfortunately the two of us are at a lower altitude."

(Jessie says.)

James: "Next time, give us a little more altitude and a little less... attitude."

(James replies.)

(Soon, Mew and the others rush over.)

(Mew says.)

Mew: "There they are!"

(Pikachu and Eevee end up being caught by the robot.)

(Chikorita tries to use Razor Leaf to free them, but to no avail as it grabs her too.)

(Brock cries out.)

Brock: "Mew, it's too late!"

James: "We've got 'em!"

(James cheers.)

(Jessie happily says.)

Jessie: "All three of them!

Meowth: "FINALLY!"

(Meowth shouts.)

Team Rocket: "Hip-Hip-Hooray!"

(Team Rocket cheers.)

(Misty turns to Mew.)

Misty: "Can't Pikachu stop them with a Thunder Shock attack?

Mew: "Thunder Shock won't work, Misty. Their balloon's too high up. Pikachu's electric attacks won't reach that far. And the robot looks like it's made of tires, and Pikachu and uses it on rubber."

Tomo: "We've got to do something before they get away!"

(Tomo says.)

(Then Brock has an idea.)

Brock: "Hey! What about that antenna? That's how the robot receives Meowth's commands! Maybe, maybe we can break it!

Mew: "It's worth a try!"

(Mew says, and brings out her Pokeball.)

Mew: "Heracross, I choose you!"

(Soon, Heracorss comes out of the Pokeball, but instantly starts to drink the sap from Bulbasaur's bulb.)

(Bulbasaur fights back, slapping Heracross away with Vine Whip.)

(Mew rushes to Heracross and says.)

Mew: "Heracross, cut it out! I need you to use your Horn Toss to launch me up to that robot's head."

(Shocked, Misty says.)

Misty: "Mew, you can't, it's too dangerous!"

(Brave, Mew says.)

Mew: "I know it's dangerous, Misty. But I don't have any other choice, Chikorita, Eevee, and Pikachu are my friends, so it's a risk I'll just have to take... Ready, Heracross?

Heracross: "Heracross!" (Ready!)

(Heracross answers.)

(Then Heracross launches her in the air, and Mew calls out.)

Mew: "Don't you worry, guys! I have a way to get you out of there!"

(Chikorita, Pikachu, and Eevee call out.)

Chikorita, Pikachu, Eevee: "Chikorita, Pikachu, Eevee" (Mew!)

(Meowth snickers.)

Meowth: "Dat's what you tink, Twerpo!"

(Meowth flicks the control stick, and the robot moves it's head to the side, causing Mew to fly over its shoulder, missing it, and crash lands into a pile of tires.)

(Pikachu, Eevee, and Chikorita cry out.)

Chikorita, Pikachu, Eevee: "Chikorita, Pikachu, Eevee" (Mew!)

(Brock calls out.)

Brock: "Mew, are you okay back there?"

Misty: "Say something!"

(Misty calls out.)

Jen: "Are you alright?"

(Jen asks.)

Tomo: "That really hurt."

(Tomo says.)

(Mew slowly gets up and turns to see where Team Rocket are heading.)

(That gives her an idea.)

Mew: "I'm coming!"

(Mew then runs past the robot at top speed, and climbs up the water tower.)

Mew: "If I can just get to that thing's antenna and mess it up, I can shut it down permanently!"

(Eevee calls out.)

Eevee: "Vee!" (Mew...!)

(Pikachu calls out.)

Pikachu: "Pika!" (Please be...!)

Chikorita: "Chiko!" (Careful!)

(Chikorita adds, calling out.)

(Mew finally reaches the top of the water tower and waits for the right moment.)

(Soon enough.)

Mew: "Okay, here I go!"

(and Mew leaps on the top of its head.)

Meowth: "Bon-Voy-A-Gee, Fly-boy!"

(Meowth says, and instructs the remote again.)

(Soon, Mew begins to fall as the robot moves.)

(Chikorita acts fast and uses her Vine Whip to halt Mew's fall, saving her.)

(Mew looks up with a smile.)

Mew: "Thanks, Chikorita!"

Misty: "Chikorita just saved Mew's life with her Vine Whip!"

(Misty says.)

Jen: "Chikorita really cares for Mew."

(Jen says.)

Brock: "Looks like friendship's stronger than jealousy."

(Brock says.)

(That's true.)

(Then Mew says to Chikorita.)

Mew: "Your timing was perfect. Now try to lift me to the antenna on the robot's head!"

(Chikorita lifts Mew with all her might, and she reaches the head.)

(Meowth is shocked.)

Meowth: "Uh oh!"

James: "This looks bad!"

(James grows worried.)

(Jessie says.)

Jessie: "She'll ruin our rubber robot!"

(Mew grabs the antenna and pulls with all her strength.)

Mew: "This oughta, fix you for good!"

(and she finally tears it off.)

(That sends the robot into overload as Team Rocket sees their plans fall apart.)

(Meowth cries out.)

Meowth: "The robot's going screwy! I can't control it!"

(Soon, the robot let the Pokemon go.)

Mew: "That sure did the trick!"

(Mew says.)

(Then she and her Pokemon climb down quickly as it grabs the ropes Jessie and James are on.)

(Jessie shouts.)

Jessie: "Hurry, Meowth! We're at the end of our rope!"

James: "You can't just leave us hanging here!"

(James screams.)

(But Meowth says.)

Meowth: "Time for emergency measures."

(And unshethers two claws and prepares to cut the rope.)

(Jessie shouts.)

Jessie: "Wait a second! What are you going to do?"

James: "We're your friends! You can cut us loose!"

(James screams.)

Meowth: "The two of you are weighing this thing down, so I'm going to have to exercise my escape claws!"

(Meowth says and prepares to cut the rope.)

Jessie: "That actually... makes a great deal of sense. You traitor!"

(Jessie says.)

(James cries out.)

James: "Please, no!"

(Meowth then cuts the ropes.)

Meowth: "This hurts me too."

(Jessie and James plummet down, and land right inside the robot's head.)

(Meowth sweat drops.)

Meowth: "Dat didn't go according ta plan."

(And then the robot explodes, sending the balloon in a tail-spin.)

(Soon, Meowth begins to blast off.)

Meowth: "Oh well, all for one and one for all, I always say."

(Meowth says.)

(James and Jessie soon follow.)

(James asks.)

James: "But why do we always get blasted away?"

Jessie: "All together on the count of three, 1, 2..."

(Jessie says.)

(Then all three say together.)

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

(And soon, Team Rocket is gone.)

(After that, Machamp, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan and Primape celebrate the victory while Mew gets down and strokes Chikorita's, Eevee's and Pikachu's cheeks and laughs.)

(Later that evening.)

Mew: "Thank you, Nurse Joy. You really understand Pokemon."

(Mew says.)

Nurse Joy: "Thanks, Mew, I'm glad I could help out, I just wish I had time to explore Chikorita's psyche."

(Nurse Joy says.)

(Brock then says.)

Brock: "You can explore my psyche anytime you like, Nurse Joy!"

(Misty then grabs Brock's ear and drags him away.)

Misty: "Your psyche is psycho!"

Mew: "Guess we better get going."

(Mew says.)

Pikachu: "Pika! Pika!" (Gotcha! Let's roll!)

(Pikachu says.)

Eevee: "Eevee!" (Let's go!)

(Eevee says.)

(Then Chikorita asks.)

Chikorita: "Chika?" (And me?)

(Soon, Pikachu is on Mew's right shoulder while Eevee is on her head.)

(Mew smiles and says.)

Mew: "Come on, the other shoulder's just for you."

Pikachu: "Pikachu!" (Climb aboard!)

(Pikachu says.)

Eevee: "Eevee!" (Come on!)

(Eevee says.)

(Chikorita is very happy and climbs on to Mew's other shoulder.)

Nurse Joy: "Bye!"

(Nurse Joy says.)

(Everyone bids Nurse Joy farewell.)

(Despite the shaky moments, the bomb of Mew, Pikachu, Eevee, and Chikorita grows stronger.)

(And it's good to see Chikorita got over her jealousy to become a solid member of the team again.)
