Hungry. Need food.
[annoyed]
Oh, Ash, you haven't done a thing all day!
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.

[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?
R Raymond
Let's have a match! Unless you're afraid to lose! [grabs a Pokéball]
[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!
That's right, I am too weak to work, but a Pokémon battle isn't work.

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

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.
Ha-ha! Hmm. Well, maybe we'll see.
[nods in agreement]
Pikachu.

For once, a happy ending!
