Ash

We've got to stop this.

Brock

But how? All Mewtwo cares about is proving how strong those super-clones are.

[Mew and Mewtwo continue to fight up above]

I'd rather risk my life out in Mewtwo's storm than watch these Pokémon destroy each other.

Misty

Oh, me, too!

I wish there was some way to stop them. I don't know what to do!

Brock
[Ash's Charizard and the Charizard clone collapse in exhaustion]

I don't think they'll ever stop. Those Pokémon look like they're ready to fight to the death.

Misty

That's a fight that nobody's going to win.

Ash

Someone's got to take a stand. Someone's got to say "no", and refuse to fight... just like Pikachu.
[The Pikachu clone, exhausted from hitting Ash's Pikachu again and again, collapses into its arms]

Brock

It's a Pokémon paradise!

Misty

This looks like tons of fun!

Ash

Yeah, the Pokémon love it. Just keep an eye on Togepi, okay, Pikachu?

Jessie
[after stopping Dragonite with her frying pan]

We want to know what's so special about the twerp trio's special delivery!

Meowth
[seeing a replier to which Ash replied "yes" to]

Hey, look!

James

"Yes"? To what?

[watching as Amber begins to fade away]

What's wrong Amber? What's happening?

Amber

It feels like...it's time...to say goodbye...

Goodbye? [begins to cry] I feel...something... [wipes a tear from his eye] What are these?

Amber

They're tears, you're crying.

Crying?

Amber

My daddy used to tell me a bedtime story, that when Pokémon are sad, and they cry, their tears are filled with life.

I'm so sad...

Amber

I have to go...

Why?

Amber
[last words]

I don't know, but it's alright. Thank you for caring about me. And don't cry Mewtwo, you should be happy. You're alive, and life is wonderful. [fades away]

Humans, you have served my purpose. I am sparing your lives, for the moment. [uses his psychic powers to open the giant doors; thunder crackles] But you cannot escape your fate. The hour of my vengeance draws near. [the floor explodes behind him and his army of clones arrive] Behold! [the Trainers look in shock and horror] With Pokémon and humans eliminated, the clones shall inherit the world.

Ash
[bravely]

You can't do this. I won't let you. [starts walking through the smoke, film-noir-style]

Misty

It's Ash!

Brock

Alright!

Psyduck
[Ash and the original Pokémon start walking toward Mewtwo] [walks in confusion]

Psy-yi-yi. [pause] Duck.

Misty

Psyduck!

Brock

Vulpix!

[Ash and the original Pokémon stop and stare at Mewtwo and the clones]

It is useless to challenge me.

Ash
[angrily]

It's not gonna end like this, Mewtwo! We won't let it! [flips his hat backwards] You're mine!

I sense others near me...what are those strange sounds they make?

Amber
[offscreen]

Those are words. They're talking!

Huh? [Amber appears] Who are you?

Amber

What do you mean? I'm a girl. A person.

A person? Am I a person?

Amber

Well you look like a Pokémon, but you can talk! I didn't know a Pokémon could talk like a person!

Pokémon? Person? What are those? Which one am I?

Amber

Maybe it makes a difference to you whether you're a Pokémon or a person, but not to me!

Today, Ash, Brock and Misty are taking a short break from their Pokémon adventures. As always, Ash is determined to become a Pokémon Master. And, as always, he's ready to endure any hardship, bear any burden with strength, stamina and a will of steel.

Ash
[weakly]

Hungry. Need food.

Misty
[annoyed]

Oh, Ash, you haven't done a thing all day!

Ash

I'm too weak to work, Misty; I haven't eaten since breakfast.

Misty
[groans]

Ohh.

Brock
[while cooking]

This lunch is gonna be just perfect for you, Ash. It's my Lazy-Boy No-Chew Stew.

Raymond
[Someone approaches Ash and his friends. Pikachu and Togepi stop playing and run back to Ash and Misty] [pointing at Ash]

Hey! You, there! I'm looking for a Pokémon trainer named Ash from Pallet Town. You know him?

Ash

Yeah, he's me.

Raymond

Let's have a match! Unless you're afraid to lose! [grabs a Pokéball]

Ash
[stands up in excitement]

Ha! I'm afraid you're going to lose this one!

Misty

Ash, you just said you were too weak to work!

Ash

That's right, I am too weak to work, but a Pokémon battle isn't work.

Brock
[still cooking]

That's progress. At least his mouth is working.

[agreeing with Brock]

Pikachu.

Neesha
[shocked]

Huh?

Corey
[shocked]

What? The ferry is cancelled?

Neesha

But I've got to get to New Island.

Pokémon Trainer

Yeah, so do I.

Pokémon Trainer

What's the big deal? It's only a little rain.

It's more than just rain. The harbor manager thinks this could be the worst storm ever.

Listen to me. The prophets have predicted the return of the Winds of Water. For years, I prayed mankind would never witness that deadly storm ever again.

Isn't that just a legend?

The ancient writings tell of the storm wiping out all but a few Pokémon. In their sorrow, the water of their tears somehow restored the lives lost in the storm. But there are no Pokémon tears today; Just waters which no one can survive.

[to the Pokémon trainers]

And that's why your ferry to New Island's been cancelled.

Fergus

Well, I'm going to New Island anyway! All my Pokémon are water-type!

Female Pokémon Trainer

No fair!

Fergus

We'll just swim over to that palace!

I warn you; The waves will be savage. You will never make it.

And besides, if you tried that stunt and your Pokémon got hurt, you'd be out of luck, because we had to close down the Pokémon center.

Ash

Uh, how come?

[to Ash]

Because the Nurse in charge of the center disappeared last month. [to the other Pokémon Trainers] And if any of you see her, please contact me at once. [toward picture of Nurse Joy] That's a picture of her over there on the wall.

Brock
[sees photo]

Hmm. She's cute. [notices the face] Huh. She sure looks familiar.

[watching the cloned Pokémon battle with the original Pokémon]

Pokémon aren't meant to fight; not like this. It's useless. What can come out of it?

Neesha

Nothing... but pain.

Brock

Why can't Mewtwo understand it's not right to force Pokémon to battle this way?

Misty

They're all living creatures. This just proves that fighting is wrong.

James
[Brock's Vulpix and the Vulpix clone fall and stop battling in exhaustion] [he, Jessie and Meowth are watching the Pokémon and their clones fighting]

I was prepared for trouble, but not for this.

Jessie

Make that double, for me.

James

Now I can see how horrible fighting really is.

Jessie

Even the best of friends will fight sometimes.

James

I'll promise never to fight again if you will! [hugs Jessie and starts crying] Oh, Jessie!

Jessie
[hugs James and starts crying also]

Oh, James!

Meowth
[watches Jessie and James crying]

Hmm. [sees his clone] Hmm? Aah!

[stands up]

Meow!

Meowth
[Both Meowth and his clone retract their claws and prepare for battle, but then stop] [looks at his claws]

Hey, what am I doing?

[looks at it's claws also then sits down lazily]

Meow.

Meowth

Let's get something straight, copycat! You-owth ain't going to push Meowth around!

[scratches itself]

Meow, meow.

Meowth

You mean, we don't have to fight each other? But how can I trust you? You was born different.

[points to Meowth's claws]

Meow, meow.

Meowth
[looks at his claws]

I almost made a clawful mistake. But how do I know you're not going to pull a fast one on me?

[looks up to the moon]

Meow, meow, meow.

Meowth

Hmm? [looks up at the moon as well] You're right. We do have a lot in common. The same Earth, the same air, the same sky.

Meow.

Meowth

Maybe if we started looking at what's the same, instead of always looking at what's different, well, who knows?

Meow.

This could be the worst storm ever.

You must listen to me. You have got to find shelter.

[in the crowd]

Excuse me, please. [the Pokémon Trainers see her] The Pokémon Treatment Center will be open as a shelter. Anyone who needs a place to stay should come with me. [walks to the Pokémon Treatment Center, and the other Trainers follow suit]

Boy

You think they'll have a pizza down there?

Brock

Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny are really great. They just keep getting more beautiful every time I see 'em.

Ash

Hey, guys, how'd we wind up in this place anyway?

Misty

Well, I guess we're just here because we're here.

Pika.

Ash

Yeah. Let's eat!

Misty
[nods her head]

Uh-huh.

Look, it's a miracle.

Ash, Misty and Brock

Huh? [they all step outside and gasp is awe]

I can't believe it.

The storm disappeared.

Neesha

That's so weird.

[smiles]

it's good to have things clear again.

[nods her head]

Hmm.

Pokédex

Preliminary analysis: Pokémon, by nature, are friendly creatures and prefer cooperation to confrontation. Final conclusion: Despite earlier uncertainties, Pokémon vacations are highly recommended. Pokédex observation unit now deactivating.

Pokédex

Togepi, the egg Pokémon. It exhibits a low tolerance for hunger. It is able to communicate this condition in a very effective manner.

Meowth
[Togepi bursts out crying, making the other Pokémon cover their ears] (Yawns, and sleeps with Arbok and Weezing)

This is the perfect place for a comfy catnap. (Pikachu and Raichu storm up, still fighting) Ooh, what’s that? (They blast through Team Rocket, who burst into the air and fall back down, and zoom off) Hey! What’s the rush?

Pokedex

Togepi, the egg Pokémon. It exhibits a low tolerance for hunger. It is able to communicate this condition in a very effective manner.

Togepi
[bawls loudly]

PRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!

Squirtle

Squirtle!

Psyduck
[falls down on the back]

Psy!

[walks to the crying Togepi]

Pika, Pika, Pi..ka..chu. Huh?

Raymond
[in shock and horror]

Uhh! OH, NO!

Ash
[happily]

We did it!

Pika!

Misty
[surprised]

Well, that sure was a shocking ending.

Brock
[amused]

Shocking that Ash moved so fast.

Togepi

Prri!
