Chapter 147: Confronting Keith And His Farfetch'd

(Meanwhile, the thief and his Farfetch'd are sitting by a campfire.)

boy: "We've been together for a long time, Farfetch'd. Right after I found you injured on the road and nursed you back to health, we started stealing,"

(The boy, and Farfetch'd agreed.)

(Then the boy says.)

boy: "I wish there was some other way for us to get by, but, how else are we ever gonna survive? We're just too weak to battle."

(Farfetch'd replies.)

(Meanwhile in the tent, Misty's backpack slightly opens and a Pokemon comes out of it.)

(It's revealed to be Psyduck.)

(Psyduck looks around to see he is in an unfamiliar area.)

(Psyduck then looks out of the tent to see a boy and Farfetch'd.)

(While the boy and Farfetch'd aren't looking, Psyduck walks off to find Misty.)

(Meanwhile, Misty shows the group where she runs into the boy and the backpack has been switched.)

Misty: "This is it! This is the place I ran into him,"

(Misty says.)

Brock: "Maybe he lives somewhere nearby,"

(Brock says.)

Misty: "Oh, I can't believe he stole all my Pokemon,"

(Misty says, feeling devastated.)

Mew: "Don't worry Misty, we'll find that boy and make him give you all your things back. And then, we'll get him to return every Pokemon he has stolen,"

(Mew says.)

(Suddenly, Psyduck walks out of the bushes.)

(Misty happily says.)

Misty: "Look, it's Psyduck!"

(Misty runs up to Psyduck.)

Misty: "Oh, I'm so happy to see you!"

(Then picks him up.)

Misty: "I missed you so much, but how did you get back here?"

Psyduck: "Psyduck," (I escaped.)

(Psyduck says.)

(Misty turns to Mew.)

Misty: "Translation."

Mew: "Psyduck said he escaped,"

(Mew says.)

(Then Misty asks her Pokemon.)

Misty: "Where's my backpack, now?"

Psyduck: "Psyduck," (With the thief.)

(Psyduck answers.)

Mew: "Psyduck says your backpack is with the thief,"

(Mew says.)

(Misty asks Psyduck.)

Misty: "What about the other Pokemon?"

Psyduck: "Psyduck," (With the thief.)

(Psyduck says.)

Mew: "With the thief,"

(Mew translates.)

(Misty asks.)

Misty: "Where did he take you?"

Psyduck: "Psyduck," (I don't know.)

(Psyduck answers.)

Mew: "I don't know,"

(Mew translates.)

(Misty then asks Psyduck.)

Misty: "Well, then, how did you get away?"

Psyduck: "Psyduck," (Left my ball.)

(Psyduck answers.)

(Mew translates.)

Mew: "Psyduck left his Pokeball."

(Misty sighs.)

Misty: "Of course he did."

Misty: "Where's the guy who stole you?"

(Misty asks.)

Psyduck: "Psyduck," (I don't know.)

(Psyduck answers.)

Mew: "Psyduck says he doesn't know,"

(Mew says.)

(Then Misty asks.)

Misty: "And where's that Farfetch'd?"

Psyduck: "Psyduck," (I don't know)

(Psyduck answers.)

Mew: "He doesn't know either,"

(Mew says.)

(Then Misty asks.)

Misty: "Psyduck, can you lead us back to where you came?"

Psyduck: "Psyduck," (I'll try.)

(Psyduck answers.)

Mew: "Psyduck says he'll try,"

(Mew says.)

(Misty turns to Mew.)

Misty: "I'm glad you're here to translate. I'll get a headache if I can't understand him."

Mew: "No problem,"

(Mew says.)

(Soon, Mew and the others begin to follow Psyduck to retrace his steps.)

(Soon, they come to a fork in the road.)

(Misty asks.)

Misty: "Okay, Psyduck. Tell us which way to go. Left, or right."

(However, Psyduck doesn't seem to remember.)

(That makes Misty angry and shakes him.)

Misty: "What's wrong with you?! Can't you remember anything?!"

Mew: "Hey, Misty! Chill out!"

(Mew calls out.)

Brock: "Yeah, Misty,"

(Brock says.)

(He walks to Misty and says.)

Brock: "You gotta relax. Psyduck's trying as hard as it can to remember where the others are.

(Psyduck then points to the direction.)

Psyduck: "Psy-y." (That way.)

Tomo: "To the left?"

(Tomo asks.)

(Misty turns to Psyduck.)

Misty: "Are you sure about this?!"

Psyduck: "Psy-y," (I think.)

(Psyduck answers.)

Mew: "Psyduck thinks this is it,"

(Mew says.)

Misty: "You better be!"

(Misty replies.)

Mew: "Well, we better get going if we're going to have a chance of finding him,"

(Mew says.)

Eevee: "Eevee." (You're right.)

(Eevee says.)

(Meanwhile, the thief is packing one of his bags full of the Pokeballs.)

(he has stolen and the Egg, and prepares to move on.)

Boy: "We keep getting more Pokemon,"

(The boy says, and Farfetch'd agrees.)

(Then the boy says.)

boy: "Well, if we meet someone on the road, we'll just have to take their Pokemon, too."

(Farfetch'd agrees.)

(Meanwhile, Psyduck is able to find the thief's campsite.)

(Psyduck points to the thief.)

Psyduck: "Psy." (There.)

Misty: "That's the kid!"

(Misty says, verifying him.)

(Then turns to her Pokemon.)

Misty: "Good work, Psyduck. You found him!"

Mew: "You did it, Psyduck,"

(Mew says.)

boy: "Well, I guess we better get going,"

(The boy says, holding the bags.)

(Farfetch'd agrees, but then.)

Mew: "Stop right there!"

(However, they are soon stopped by Mew, Pikachu, Eevee, Misty, and Psyduck.)

Misty: "Give me back my Pokemon, you thief!"

(Misty says.)

Pikachu: "Pika Pika!" (Hand them over!)

(Pikachu says.)

Boy: "Oh no!"

(The boy panics and tries to run away, but finds Officer Jenny, Brock, and Tomo.)

Officer Jenny: "You're under arrest for grand theft Pokemon!"

(Jenny says.)

Brock: "Your crime spree is over!"

(Brock says.)

Tomo: "Yeah!"

(Tomo says.)

(The boy and Farfetch'd soon find himself surrounded by Mew, her friends, and Officer Jenny.)

(Mew angrily says.)

Mew: "What makes you think it was okay to lie and cheat people so you could steal their Pokemon? It takes a lot of love and care to raise Pokemon. We worked real hard to train them all to win their Pokemon battles!"

Misty: "That's right!"

(Misty says.)

(Then Jenny says.)

Officer Jenny: "Maybe we should start off by showing this kid just how difficult a Pokemon match is!"

Brock: "Good idea!"

(Brock says.)

Boy: "Huh?"

(The boy says, confused.)

Mew: "That's right! A battle!"

(Mew says.)

(But the boy says.)

Boy: "Wait a minute! Farfetch'd is too weak. We have no other choice!"

(But Brock protests.)

Brock: "That's not true, at all. Pokemon will become stronger with trainers who'll work with them."

boy: "But Farfetch'd isn't.."

(The boy says.)

(Yet Farfetch'd decides to step forward and accept the battle.)

boy: "Huh? You mean, you want to battle?"

(The boy asks.)

(Farfetch'd turns to the boy and answers.)

Farfetch'd: "Far Farfetch'd!" (Yes, I do!)

boy: "But, Farfetch'd,"

(The boy says, feeling skeptical.)

Mew: "Come on, kid. You can't deny a Pokemon who wants to battle,"

(Mew says.)

(The boy turns to Mew and says.)

Keith: "My name is Keith."

Mew: "Well Keith. As you can see, your Farfetch'd wants to battle. You should at least let him have a try,"

(Mew says.)

(Farfetch'd then steps forward to the battlefield and ready to battle.)

Mew: "Good! Let's start our Pokemon battle!"

(Mew says.)

(Then sends out Bulbasaur.)

(Farfetch'd steps forward, but Keith worriedly says.)

Keith: "Wait! Farfetch'd!"

Mew: "Go for it, Bulbasaur! Tackle attack!"

(Mew calls out.)

(Bulbasaur charges towards Farfetch'd, but the Wild Duck Pokemon jumps over Bulbasaur.)

(Bulbasaur tries again, but Farfetch'd dodges.)

(Keith calls out.)

Keith: "Farfetch'd, stop!"

(Mew calls out.)

Mew: "Bulbasaur, Vine Whip attack!"

(Soon, the attack lands.)

(Keith calls out.)

Keith: "Farfetch'd, no!"

Misty: "At least, now you can see the right way to capture Pokemon in the wild!"

(Misty says.)

(Keith then cries out.)

Keith: "Please, stop, Farfetch'd! You can't win this!"

(However, Farfetch'd refuses to give up.)

(Then he uses the leek to reflect the attack, surprising everyone.)

(With fire in his eyes, Farfetch'd is able to charge and dodges the attack, surprising everyone, especially Keith.)

Mew: "Wow! I didn't know Farfetch'd can use Agility,"

(Mew says.)

Pikachu: "Pika!" (No way!)

(Pikachu says, surprised.)

(Eevee feels the same.)

(Keith says.)

Keith: "I didn't know Farfetch'd could do that."

(Farfetch'd continues to use its Agility attack to dodge Bulbasaur, then uses it's leek like a furry attack to attack Bulbasaur.)

(Then gives Bulbasaur a final blow on the head, and it collapses on the ground.)

(Farfetch'd celebrates by performing a dance.)

(Mew kneels to Bulbasaur and picks him up.)

Mew: "Bulbasaur, are you okay?"

Bulbasaur: "Bulba," (I think.)

(Bulbasaur answers, weakly.)

(Amazed, Keith says.)

Keith: "I never knew Farfetch'd had attacks like that!"

(That makes Mew and the others very confused.)

(Misty asks.)

Misty: "Huh? You really didn't know about its powers?"

Keith: "No. If I had known it was this strong, I wouldn't have used it to steal,"

(Keith says.)

Brock: "You can't judge a Pokemon by the way it looks,"

(Brock says.)

(Then Mew returns Bulbasaur to his Pokeball.)

(Then Mew turns to Pikachu.)

Mew: "Alright, Pikachu! Your turn!"

(Pikachu agrees and steps in the battlefield.)

(But Misty cuts in.)

Misty: "Hold it! He robbed me, so it's my job to battle him! I choose you, Staryu!"

(Soon, Misty realizes the only one she has is Psyduck.)

Misty: "I forgot, I didn't get my Pokeballs back yet."

(Mew and Tomo sigh.)

(But Psyduck steps in, much to Misty's surprise.)

Misty: "Psyduck?"

(Farfetch'd approaches Psyduck.)

(He simply laughs at Psyduck and begins to hit him on the head with the leek.)

(Misty says in her thought.)

Misty [in mind]: "Here's my chance."

(Then calls out to Farfetch'd.)

Misty: "Come on, Farfetch'd! Give Psyduck your best shot!"

(Farfetch'd continues to hit Psyduck between the eyes and Misty notices that it's getting pain in his head.)

Misty: "It's working! Psyduck's headache is getting worse!"

(Misty says.)

Mew: "Just a little more!"

(Mew says.)

(Farfetch'd continues to hit Psyduck until Psyduck's eyes start glowing blue.)

(Then Farfetch'd becomes petrified.)

(Keith becomes shocked.)

Keith: "Farfetch'd, no!"

(Then Misty calls out to Psyduck.)

Misty: "That's it! Psyduck's absolute migraine attack! Disable!"

(Psyduck then uses his psychic attacks to pick Farfetch'd up and sends it flying to Keith.)

(That sends them both flying into the tree and right back down again.)

(Misty happily cheers.)

Misty: "You did it, Psyduck!"

Psyduck: "Psyduck!" (Oh yeah!)

(Psyduck happily cheers, giving Misty the peace sign.)

(Later, Mew and the others, including Keith, accompany Officer Jenny to the police station.)

(He returns all the Pokemon he has stolen, including Misty's backpack with her Pokemon.)

(Keith bows his head and apologizes.)

Keith: "Forgive me. I'll give back all the Pokemon I stole."

Officer Jenny: "None of the victims in the area are going to press charges, since they all got their Pokemon back,"

(Jenny says.)

(Keith says in replied.)

Keith: "That's good."

Misty: "It's great to have my old backpack back!"

(Misty happily says.)

Mew: "And I hope you learn a lesson Keith,"

(Mew says.)

Keith: "You're right. It was wrong to steal. And it was wrong not to believe in Farfetch'd,"

(Keith says.)

(Farfetch'd says.)

Farfetch'd: Fetch'd Far Far! (Now that's better!)

Keith: "Now, I'm gonna train Farfetch'd to become even stronger!"

(Keith says.)

Mew: "Great! That's the way it should be!"

(Mew says.)

Brock: "Now, you see that Pokemon can be anything a good trainer wants it to be,"

(Brock says.)

Keith: "Yeah. Thanks a lot,"

(Keith says.)

Farfetch'd: "Farfetch'd Farfetch'd" (Yeah. Thanks a lot.)

(Farfetch'd says.)

(Then Keith turns to Farfetch'd.)

Keith: "See ya. Let's go Farfetch'd."

Farfetch'd: "Farfetch'd," (Right.)

(Farfetch'd answers.)

(Soon, Keith and Farfetch'd start to walk away.)

(Misty waves.)

Misty: "Good luck, you two!"

Brock: "Take care!"

(Brock says.)

Mew: "Goodbye,"

(Mew says.)

Tomo: "Bye,"

(Tomo says.)

(Mew and the others soon head off their own direction to continue their Pokemon Journey.)

(Misty might have lost her Pokemon for good if it wasn't for Psyduck, and all her friends.)

(And lessons are learned that you should train with your Pokemon and should trust in a Pokemon's abilities, and never underestimate one too.)

(Mew and her friends continue on their way to the next part of their journey.)

(As the Journey continues.)
