C Corey
[shocked]
What? The ferry is cancelled?
But I've got to get to New Island.
PM Pokémon Trainer
Yeah, so do I.
PM 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.
M Miranda
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?
M Miranda
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.
F Fergus
Well, I'm going to New Island anyway! All my Pokémon are water-type!
FP Female Pokémon Trainer
No fair!
F Fergus
We'll just swim over to that palace!
M Miranda
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.
[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.
[sees photo]
Hmm. She's cute. [notices the face] Huh. She sure looks familiar.
[Corey is riding his Pidgeot over the storm, Fergus jumps on his Gyarados]
Come back here! Or I'll place you under arrest!
D Dewgong
[Neesha jumps on her Dewgong]
Dewgong-Gong!
Come back! [her hat flies off her head] Aah!
M Miranda
Some trainers have no fear.
M Miranda
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, 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!
[with determination]
Pika!
[concerned]
Ash, our Pokémon aren't strong enough; They can't handle giant waves like this!
[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!
Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! [normal voice; to herself] Oh, I think I'm going to have one!
I didn't know Vikings still existed.
They mostly live in Minnesota.
Something's not right. Are you sure this boat's safe?
AM Ash, Misty, and Brock
Whoa!
[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.
[disguised as the boat's figurehead, looking nauseous]
Tell my stomach...
[to Togepi, who whimpers]
It's alright, Togepi. We're gonna be okay.
E Everyone
[a giant wave appears in front of the boat] [screams in terror]
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOA!
[the wave hits the boat, washing away Team Rocket's Viking costumes in the process]
Those aren't Vikings!
I should've known there was something fishy about them, besides the way they smell!
[a wave rises behind them] [seeing the wave]
Forget the motto! We're going to have to wait--
E Everyone
[screams]
AAAAAAAAH!
[The wave hits the boat, throwing everyone overboard]
This could be the worst storm ever.
M Miranda
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]
B 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.
Hey, guys, how'd we wind up in this place anyway?
Well, I guess we're just here because we're here.
AM Ash, Misty and Brock
Huh? [they all step outside and gasp is awe]
M Miranda
I can't believe it.
M Miranda
[smiles]
it's good to have things clear again.
