Ash
[first lines]
Well, Pikachu, we're here.
Scenes with Ash Ketchum
12 scenes
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.
Ash
I'm too weak to work, Misty; I haven't eaten since breakfast.
[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!
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.
Raymond
[in shock and horror]
Uhh! OH, NO!
Ash
[happily]
We did it!
Pika!
Togepi
Prri!
Corey
[shocked]
What? The ferry is cancelled?
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.
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.
[Corey is riding his Pidgeot over the storm, Fergus jumps on his Gyarados]
Come back here! Or I'll place you under arrest!
Dewgong
[Neesha jumps on her Dewgong]
Dewgong-Gong!
Come back! [her hat flies off her head] Aah!
Some trainers have no fear.
Huh?
To them, this is just one more challenge. They follow their hearts. That is what sets them apart and will make them Pokémon Masters. [Corey, Fergus and Neesha are riding their respective Pokémon to get to New Island] Good luck to all of you.
Ash
[Ash, Misty and Brock run to the dock] [with determination]
The world's greatest Pokémon Master is waiting for me! Let's use our Pokémon to get to that island!
Ash
[sadly]
Guess you're right.
[in a Viking costume using voice of a Viking]
You vant to cross, maybe? Ve take you, ja? Ve Vikings are used to big vaves. Ve get you to New Island faster than you can say, Fahrvernugen. [cut to Jessie and James rowing the Viking boat] Stroke!
Unh!
Stroke!
Unh! Unh!
Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! [normal voice; to herself] Oh, I think I'm going to have one!
I didn't know Vikings still existed.
Ash
They mostly live in Minnesota.
Something's not right. Are you sure this boat's safe?
Ash, Misty, and Brock
Whoa!
Pika!
[in a Viking voice]
Don't vorry. Dis ship von't let you down. Ve alvays sail in da rough veather. Don't get upset.
Heave.
Ho.
Heave.
Ho.
Heave.
Ho.
Everyone
[a giant wave appears in front of the boat] [screams in terror]
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOA!
Ash
[the wave hits the boat, washing away Team Rocket's Viking costumes in the process]
Those aren't Vikings!
It's Team Rocket!
I should've known there was something fishy about them, besides the way they smell!
Ha! Prepare for trouble!
Make it double!
Everyone
[screams]
AAAAAAAAH!
[The wave hits the boat, throwing everyone overboard]
Ash
[After Ash falls in and growls angrily underwater] [emerges out of the water]
HEY! [follows the Clone Ball to Mewtwo's lab] YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET PIKACHU!
Jessie and James
[watching the screen as Mewtwo's Clone Balls are moving through the conveyor belt]
There goes...Alakazam...Dewgong...Vileplume!
[watching the clone Pokémon being created]
Sandshrew, Nidoqueen, Vaporeon. [looks at his clone] But me, I got a special place in my tail for this one.
Ash
[lands on a conveyor belt with a hard thud]
Ugh!
Jessie and James
Huh?
Ash
[groans]
Ohh.
Yeeeh!
Look there!
Ash
Uhh. [to Team Rocket] Aah, I don't have time for your dumb motto today! [grabs Pikachu's ball but a claw grabs the ball and carries Ash with the ball]
Jessie and James
[watching the screen and seeing a silhouette of Pikachu]
Who's that Pokémon? It's Pikachu!
Ash
[fighting with mechanical claws inside the cloning machine]
Ow! Let go! Ugh! Stupid machine! Ugh! GIVE ME BACK MY...PIKACHU! [biting the machine arm, growling in anger] AAAARRGGH!
[The silhouette of Pikachu disappears, and an alarm starts blaring] [worried]
What's happening?!
Ash
[Ash fights against the mechanical arms, breaks loose and frees Pikachu] [in shock]
Huh? [happily] Ahh! [Pikachu shakes his head and sputters] Pikachu!
Pi? [happily] Pika-Pi! [turns around and runs to Ash, and they both hug, while Ash laughs] Ka!
Ash
I'm so glad you're okay.
Ka!
[The Pokémon clones start coming down and Team Rocket shudders in horror]
The copies are hatching! [the Pokémon clones start to hatch; amazed] They're fabulous fakes.
Send in da Clones!
Ash
But where are the real ones?
Pika?
[The Pokémon clones leave the lab while the alarm gets louder and faster] [about the clones]
I wonder if they feel--
Clonesome.
Team Rocket
[the machine behind them explodes]
WHOA!
[Mewtwo's cloning machine is destroyed, thereby freeing all the original Pokémon from Mewtwo's Clone Balls]
The Poké originals!
Tentacruel
Tentacruel. [hugs Team Rocket with its tentacles, scaring them]
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]
It's Ash!
Alright!
Psyduck
[Ash and the original Pokémon start walking toward Mewtwo] [walks in confusion]
Psy-yi-yi. [pause] Duck.
Psyduck!
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!
Ash
We've got to stop this.
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.
Oh, me, too!
I wish there was some way to stop them. I don't know what to do!
[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.
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]
Ash
YOU'VE GOTTA STOP RIGHT NOW! [Mew and Mewtwo both fire off powerful beams] STOOOOOOP!!!! [gets hit by both blasts]
ASH!
OH, NO!
PIKA-PI!
[Ash floats to the floor, then collapses slowly, groaning weakly] [in shock and disbelief]
Fool! Trying to stop our battle?
Mew
[turns its head to the side in confusion]
Mew?
Pika-Pi! [runs to Ash] Pikachu? [Ash's body turns to stone. He tries to wake up Ash by shaking him to no avail] Pika. Pika-pi. [Gyarados and its clone start roaring, along with Rhyhorn and its clone] Pika-pi. Pika. CHU! [uses Thunderbolt on Ash, but he doesn't wake up] Pika. CHU! CHU! CHU! CHU! CHU!
[still using Thunderbolt]
CHU! [panting] Pika. Pika. [uses Thunderbolt one last time] CHU! [stops using Thunderbolt in exhaustion and is panting heavily] Pika. Pika. [realizes Ash is gone; voice breaking] Pika-Pi... [starts shedding tears] Pika-Pi...
[Around the stadium, both the original Pokémon and the clones start to shed tears, which float to Ash Ketchum's body, then his body starts glowing blue] [in shock]
Pika? [in concern] Pika-Pi? [drops a few more tears on Ash's stone body]
[a beam of light then shines on Ash; his body returns to normal, and he slowly wakes up] [in shock]
Pi? [in happiness] Pika!
Ash
[in confusion]
Huh? [in shock] Oh. [smiles] Mmmm. [happily] Pikachu!
Pika-Pi! [runs to Ash]
[Ash hugs Pikachu and laughs; the Trainers, Nurse Joy and the Pokémon happily rejoice] [flying with Mew, with a change of heart]
A human sacrificed himself to save the Pokémon. I pitted them against each other, but not until they set aside their differences, did I see the true power they all share deep inside.
Mew
[nods in agreement]
Mew.
I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.
Mew
Mew.
Ash
[Both Mew and Mewtwo begin to glow and use their psychic powers to lift all of the cloned Pokémon into the air. The cloned Pokémon wave goodbye and fly away with Mew and Mewtwo. Ash, the Trainers and the original Pokémon watch them fly away]
Mewtwo, where are you going?
Where my heart can learn what yours knows so well. What transpired here, I will always remember. But perhaps for you, these events are best forgotten. [disappears into the clouds with the clones and Mew]
[A bright blue light from the ground begins to lift Ash, the Trainers, the Pokémon, and the light continues to increase throughout the stadium]
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?
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?
Well, I guess we're just here because we're here.
Pika.
Ash
Yeah. Let's eat!
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.
That's so weird.
Ash
[last lines] [sees Mew]
Hey, what's that?
Hmm?
What's what? [Mew disappears] I don't see anything, Ash.
Except the sky.
Ash
[smiles]
Hmm. The day I left home to start my Pokémon journey, I saw a really rare Pokémon, and just now, I thought I saw another one.
Well, maybe you're just seeing things, Ash.
Ash
Huh?
Well, maybe he's not.
Ash
Ha-ha! Hmm. Well, maybe we'll see.
Many strange legends surround the mysteries of Pokémon, and just as many adventures await our young heroes as they continue on their quest. For Ash and his friends, the journey's just begun.
[Team Rocket is still on New Island, and they don't have any memory how they got there]
I don't have a clue how we got here, but who cares?
This is paradise!
For once, a happy ending!
Team Rocket
Team Rocket signing off again! [they laugh happily]
Do you have any sunscreen?
You know, I'd really like to go sailing in one of them catamarans. Ha-ha!
It's a Pokémon paradise!
This looks like tons of fun!
Ash
Yeah, the Pokémon love it. Just keep an eye on Togepi, okay, Pikachu?
