[shocked]
What? The ferry is cancelled?
N Neesha
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.
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.
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!
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.
[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?
N Neesha
Nothing... but pain.
Why can't Mewtwo understand it's not right to force Pokémon to battle this way?
They're all living creatures. This just proves that fighting is wrong.
[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.
Make that double, for me.
Now I can see how horrible fighting really is.
Even the best of friends will fight sometimes.
I'll promise never to fight again if you will! [hugs Jessie and starts crying] Oh, Jessie!
[hugs James and starts crying also]
Oh, James!
[watches Jessie and James crying]
Hmm. [sees his clone] Hmm? Aah!
[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.
Let's get something straight, copycat! You-owth ain't going to push Meowth around!
[scratches itself]
Meow, meow.
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.
[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.
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.
Maybe if we started looking at what's the same, instead of always looking at what's different, well, who knows?
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]
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]
N Neesha
That's so weird.
[smiles]
it's good to have things clear again.
