Wobbu-Palooza! [Ash and his friends are resting by a river as the narrator speaks.] Narrator: As we join our friends today, they're finishing up a break, and just about to set out once more on the road to Ecruteak City. Brock: [Just finished drinking] Ah! Well, is everybody ready to get going again? Misty: Mmm. Hmm. Ash: Yeah! Pikachu: Pika! Pika! Togepi: Toge! Toge! Misty: [Notices something] Hey! Isn't this yours, Brock? [She picks up Brock's guidebook. Suddenly, a Wobbuffet pops up from behind a rock.] Ash: A Wobbuffet? Brock: Maybe Team Rocket's somewhere nearby… [They all look around cautiously to make sure
Team Rocket isn't around. Suddenly, All: [Gasp.] Ash: They're everywhere!
"Wobbu-Palooza!"
Ash: I wonder what's going on here… Pikachu: Pika? Pika? Brock: Just take a look up ahead! [They all look. They see Wobbuffets with trainers,
in Ash: There's Wobbuffet everywhere. Misty: I've never seen so many of one Pokemon in one place! [A young man enters the scene.] Young Man: Hi, guys! And welcome to Wobbuffet Village. Ash, Misty, and Brock: [Nervously] Hi… Young Man: It's called Wobbuffet Village, because everyone in town has a Wobbuffet. Ash: Everybody has a Wobbuffet? Young Man: Uhu! Misty: Why would they all want a Wobbuffet? Young Man: There's just something about them you can't not love. Just looking at a Wobbuffet makes you feel warm and happy. [The young man's Wobbuffet pops up. Ash and co. laugh.] Brock: I see what you mean. Misty: Hey, guys! Look at his shirt! Young Man: Uhu. Everybody wears these at the Wobbuffet Festival. Ash, Misty, and Brock: Huh? Ash: A Wobbuffet Festival? [A family of Wobbuffets pops up and says their
name in agreement.]
Young Man: We have this festival every year to celebrate our Wobbuffet. Misty: It looks like a lot of fun! Ash: It sure does! [Team Rocket is walking into Wobbuffet Village
on walking sticks, due to Jessie: Ugh! I can't go on! [She, James and Meowth faint.] Meowth: What I really wouldn't do right now for a cold cup platter. James: Yes, or a hot buffet. [Their Wobbuffet pops up from behind them.] Jessie: Why are you always interrupting? I've seen a lot of Pokemon, but when it comes to being annoying, there's no one like you! [A whole group of Wobbuffets appears. Team Rocket gasps.] Lulu: Hello, there! That's a wonderful looking Wobbuffet you folks have. Jessie: Yes, well, I admit we do quite a bit of wondering about it. Lulu: It's so inspiring to know that visitors like you visit year after year with their Wobbuffet. Team Rocket: Huh? Lulu: Come on! My house is just down this road. [Team Rocket looks at each other thoughtfully.]
James: I don't get it. Why would everyone in town want a Wobbuffet? Jessie: What could they possibly be thinking? Meowth: Not much I guess. Lulu: I hope you all have a good appetite! I imagine you're in a hurry to get to the Wobbuffet Festival, but maybe you could stay a few minutes and have a little snack. [Lulu puts a plate of hamburgers and sandwiches
down Jessie: We're just delighted to be with people who love the same thing we do! James: That special Pokemon… Meowth: [Mimicking a Wobbuffet] Wobbuffet! [Team Rocket eats up all the hamburgers and sandwiches.] Lulu: [Offering a hamburger to Team Rocket's Wobbuffet] Eat up, Sweetie! [Wobbuffet eats the hamburger.] Lulu: Isn't it nice? Jessie: [Still eating] Aren't we lucky to have a rare and valuable Pokemon like Wobbuffet, around? James: That's not what you usually say, Jessie. Jessie: Lulu, I was wondering will their be lots of food at the Wobbuffet Festival, too? Lulu: Yes! And lot's of Wobbuffet! And just so we'll be able to tell you apart from all the other Wobbuffet at the festival, and I'm going to put this on you. [She puts a yellow ribbon on Wobbuffets forehead. Team Rocket giggles.] Lulu: I think you look simply adorable, Wobbuffet. [Team Rocket laughs hysterically.] Jessie: It suits you perfectly, Wobbuffet. James: It's definitely you! Meowth: It's Wob-beautiful! Lulu: See, Wobbuffet? Your friends like it, too. Wobbuffet: Wobbu! [In agreement.] Lulu: As soon as you're finishing eating, I'll take you down and show you the Festival Symbol. Jessie, James and Meowth: The Festival Symbol? [Team Rocket and Lulu stand in front of the Wobbuffet Festival Symbol.] Meowth: It's gigantical! Lulu: Yes! The people in this town are all very proud of it. Jessie: The people in this town must all be crazy. Lulu: What did you say, Jess? James: [Laughs nervously.] She was saying how crazy the
town is for Wobbuffet.
Boy 1: Well, they're all ready for the big Wobbuffet Festival, but they won't be ready for us. Boy 2: All right! It's party time! [Throws a Pokeball.] Hitmonlee! [A Hitmonlee appears.] Boy 3: Machoke! [Throws a Pokeball. A Machoke appears.] Boy 1: Primeape! [Throws a Pokeball. A Primeape appears.] Boy 2: Ok! Let's do it! [Hitmonlee, Machoke and Primeape say their
names.]
Misty: I never knew Wobbuffet were fun. [The Wobbuffet laughs. Meanwhile, Pikachu is
playing tag with another Wobbuffet, Good Boy: [Enters scene from left.] Did you hear? Someone just attacked Annie's Wobbuffet! Young Man: Attacked her - [A little girl lies on the riverbank sobbing,
with an injured Wobbuffet Young Man: What's wrong? What happened to your Wobbuffet, Annie? Annie: We were playing by the river, when they came and hurt my Wobbuffet. [Two uninjured Wobbuffets prompt up Annie's injured Wobbuffet.] Misty: This is terrible! Ash: Who could have done this? Brock: Only somebody who doesn't have a heart! [An old man calls another Wobbuffet attack on top of a hill.] Old Man: Hey! There's been another Wobbuffet attack here! [The gang gasps.]
Italian Man: They caught us completely by surprise! The three of them came out of nowhere, and before I could stop them, they did this to my Wobbuffet. Wobby: Wobbu… Italian Man: Don't worry, Wobby. Just take it easy. Ash: [Suspiciously] There were three of them? Misty: It must be…
Jessie: Ok! This is where they keep all the food for the Festival locked up. James: I feel guilty stealing food from all the people who fed us so well. Meowth: All we're doing is cutting out the middleman. [Team Rocket gazes into the storehouse window.] Jessie: Food! James: And it's ours for the taking! Meowth: Let's take! Let's take! [Team Rocket giggles with glee.] Young Man: Hey over here! [Team Rocket turns around, surprised.] James: The twerps! Young Man: Look! There's someone sneaking around the festival storehouse! Ash: Oh! [Team Rocket covers their faces with bushes.] Ash: Team Rocket? Misty: How long can you go? [Team Rocket removes the bushes from their faces.] Jessie: As long as we can! Ash: When I heard it was a group of three attacking the Wobbuffets, I knew it must be you! Young Man: Them? Misty: How could you three do such a thing? Especially when the townspeople are in the middle of the Wobbuffet Festival! James: Hold it one minute! We haven't attacked anybody's Wobbuffet! Jessie: That's right! And the townspeople have gone out of their way to befriend us! Meowth: Yeah, but they're going to de-friend when they find out we tried to… [Jessie and James put a hand each on Meowth's mouth. Lulu arrives in the scene.] Lulu: What's wrong? What's going on here, Jessie? Jessie: Oh, thank goodness! James: [Aggressively] These kids here are accusing us of other peoples' Wobbuffet! Lulu: Huh? Ash: That's right! These three are always causing some kind of trouble. Lulu: Do you have any proof? Ash: Well…no… Lulu: Of course, you don't, because Jessie, James and Meowth are very nice. They wouldn't attack Wobbuffet; they have their own Wobbuffet. I know you're innocent, and if you need a place to stay during the Wobbuffet Festival, you're more than welcome to stay at my place. Team Rocket: Thank you, Lulu. Jessie: See we told you! James: Not guilty! Ash and Co.: Uh… Woman: Another Wobbuffet was just attacked! Ash and Co: Huh? Woman: It was my cousin's Wobbuffet. It happened in the middle of the park. Young Man: Oh! Woman: Hurry! [She runs off. The young man follows her.] Ash: I still don't trust you three, but I guess that proves, you're not the ones attacking the Wobbuffet. James: Of course, we aren't! Jessie: You accused us, without any evidence and we demand an apology from you! Meowth: Say you're sorry! Ash: We…made a mistake. Brock: Sorry it happened. Ash: Come on! Misty: Let's go! James: Good luck, finding the real criminals! Jessie: Now that they're gone, we can get back to business. Meowth: And stealing is our business! [A Wobbuffet gets punched through the air and lands injured on the ground.] Cousin: Wobbuffet! Are you ok? Please say something! [Ash and co. arrive at the scenery. They look
down, and Boy 2: I bet you didn't know Wobbuffet could fly like that, did you? Young Man: That's not funny! Ash: So you're the three who've been attacking the Wobbuffet here! Boy 1: That's right, Sherlock. Got a problem with it? Brock: You bet we do! Misty: Why don't you leave them alone? Boy 3: They deserve it; they're weaklings! Ash: We'll see who's weak! Pikachu: Pikachu…
Who's that Pokemon? It's Sneasel!
Young Man: Now I remember whom these punks are. Misty: You mean you've seen them, before? Young Man: The three of them came here looking for trouble a year ago. [Flashback] They were raising fighting Pokemon. But instead of training them, they had them attack the village to build up their strength. They damaged a few house. In the end, they wound up at Lulu's place. Ha! That was their mistake! They thought they were tough, but they underestimated Lulu's Wobbuffet. Their Pokemon attacked, but Lulu had her Wobbuffet use Counter and Mirror Coat. The tough guys' Pokemon didn't stand a chance! Boys:We won't forget this! [End of flashback] Boy 1: We never forget; that's why we're back. Boy 2: You beat us once, but you won't do it again! It's payback time! Brock: So that's the reason they came back; to get revenge! Young Man: I'd better go find Lulu and Officer Jenny. Boy 3: We've been training hard, and we're a lot stronger now, then we were last time we were here! Boy 2: Just ask you wimpy Wobbuffet! Boy 1: They'll tell you exactly how strong we are! Misty: Okay! You've proved your point. Now get lost! Boy 1: We're not going anywhere, until we whip every single Wobbuffet in this crummy town. Boy 3: Yeah, and the score won't be settled until we're done!
James: With all this food, we can have our own private Team Rocket festival! Meowth: Yeah! Young Man: [From off camera] They're at the festival symbol! Hurry! Lulu: I never thought we'd see them back in town! Officer Jenny: And there couldn't be a worst time, than during
the Wobbuffet Festival.
Meowth: Wonder what's going on?
Boy 2: So, who's next? Who wants to try their luck? [Ash steps forwards. Pikachu jumps off his shoulder.] Ash: If you want to prove how tough you are, have a battle with me and Pikachu, first! Boys: With you?!? Boy 2: Why would we want to waste our time with a pipsqueak like you? Ash: What? Are you afraid? Misty: We're ready to show you just how brave you three really aren't! Let's battle! Brock: Right now! Man in Audience: No! They can't battle. Boy 2: A three-on-three battle sounds great. Hitmonlee! Boy 1: Machoke! Boy 3: Primeape1 [Machoke, Hitmonlee, and Primeape step forward. Ash throws a Pokeball.] Ash: Chikorita! I choose you! [He releases the Pokeball. Chikorita appears.] Misty: I choose you, Poliwhirl! [She releases the Pokeball. Poliwhirl appears.] Brock: I choose Golbat! [He throws the Pokeball. Golbat appears.] Boy 2: Hitmonlee, Rolling Kick! [Hitmonlee lunges towards Chikorita.] Ash: Quick, Chikorita! Use your Vine Whip attack! [Chikortia prepares its vines. Suddenly a whistle blows. They all look.] Officer Jenny: Stop! Boys: What's this? [Officer Jenny, Lulu, and the young man appear.] Officer Jenny: Nobody's battling anybody! You can't have a Pokemon battle with them. Ash: But they're the ones who have been attacking everybody's Wobbuffet! Boy 2: I figured you'd show up sooner or later. Boy 3: We'll battle you, too lady, but this time, you and that Wobbuffet of yours are going to get run out of town! Lulu: Nobody's battling! Boy 2: What do you mean? Lulu: I mean I'm not allowed to have a Pokemon battle. Officer Jenny: All Pokemon battles are strictly prohibited, during the Wobbuffet Festival here. Wobbuffet never attack first, so to honor that spirit, the founders of the festival forbid Pokemon battles in the village at this time. That's the tradition, and nobody's going to break it! Ash: I didn't know that! Brock: That explains how those bullies and their Pokemon could beat all the Wobbuffet. Lulu: You'll have to save your Pokemon battles, until after the festival. Ash: We will, if that's the rule. Officer Jenny: You know the rules! Now get going! Lulu: You heard what Officer Jenny said. Now leave our village alone! Boy 2: We came to whip all your Wobbuffet, and that's what we're going to do. Boy 1: You can't order us around like kids. Boy 3: We'll leave this dump, when we're good and ready! Boy 2: But if we can't whip the real Wobbuffet, we'll work on whipping this one! Boys: Yeah! [All gasp.] Lulu: They wouldn't dare! Boy 2: Go Hitmonlee! Boy 1: Go Machoke! Boy 3: Go Primeape! [The three Pokemon punch, and kick the Festival Symbol.] All: Oh! Brock: The Festival Symbol! Misty: Leave it alone! Ash: Knock it off! Pikachu: Pika! [The three Pokemon ignore and keep ripping
the Festival Symbol.]
Meowth: I can't believe the townspeople ain't fighting back! Jessie: It may be a festival rule, but I think it's ridiculous! James: I can understand it, though. Jessie: Huh? James: It just shows how much the townspeople love and respect their Wobbuffet. It must hurt you to see the Festival Symbol treated that way, Wobbuffet. Meowth: And you must hate seeing them other Wobbuffet getting roughed up, too, don't you? James: Maybe we should do something to stop them! Jessie: Why should we get involved with this silly little town and their troubles? This is their problem. Let them solve it. Meowth: But, Jessie, the people here were so nice to us. Jessie: Hey…maybe… [Machoke, Hitmonlee, and Primeape are still
ripping the Festival Boys: Keep it up! Good work! Boy 2: Hitmonlee, Rolling Kick! [Hitmonlee kicks the Festival Symbol. The crowd looks panicked.] Ash: We've got to stop them! Pikachu! [Sparks sizzle from Pikachu's cheeks.] Lulu: No! [Pikachu stops.] Lulu: Please, you can't destroy the Festival Tradition! Ash: Well, we've got to do something. Misty: We can't stand by and let them destroy the Festival Symbol. Lulu: [Sadly] We have to. [Suddenly a bomb falls from the sky. Everyone gasps.] Boy 2: What's happening? Jessie: Prepare for trouble! We're on the way! James: Make it double. We'll save the day! Jessie: To protect the world from devastation. James: To unite all peoples within our nation. Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love. James: To extend our reach to the stars above. Jessie: Jessie. James: James. Jessie: Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light. James: Surrender now, or prepare to fight, fight, fight. Meowth: Meowth! That's right! Boy 2: What kind of gang are you? Jessie: We're the kind of gang that chases gangs like you straight out of town. James: So why don't you run along, before we have to get nasty? Boy 3: Oh yeah? Boy 1: We're not going anywhere! Jessie: Then we have a problem. Because, if you boys don't beat it, you're going to make our Wobbuffet very unhappy. [Wobbuffet pops out from the basket of the hot-air balloon.] Lulu: You tell them, Jess! Ash: What are they going to do? James: The people here stood up for us, so we're going to stand up to them. Jessie: Maybe if we beat you three in a Pokemon battle, you'll go away. Officer Jenny: Pokemon battles are against the Festival rules! Jessie: Who cares about rules? We don't. James: Some rules were made to be broken, you know. Meowth: And we're here to break them! Boy 2: We don't care about rules either. Boy 3: We'll battle you right now! Boy 2: Hitmonlee! Boy 1: Let's go Machoke! Boy 3: Come on, Primeape! [The three Pokemon jump down.] Jessie: Arbok! I choose you! [Arbok appears.] James: I choose Victreebel! [Victreebel appears and tries eating Meowth.] Let Meowth go! Boy 2: Hitmonlee, use Rolling Kick! [Hitmonlee kicks Arbok's throat. Arbok screams.] Jessie: Arbok, Tackle that Hitmonlee! [Arbok tackles Hitmonlee.] Boy 1: Machoke, Karate Chop Attack! [Machoke Karate Chops Victreebel in the throat.
Victreebel screams. James: Victreebel, Razor Leaf attack! [Victreebel aims its Razor Leaves at Machoke. Primeape defends Machoke, by hitting it back.] Ash: I can't believe what I'm seeing! Misty: They're being decent. Brock: Yeah. Pikachu: Pika… Jessie: Arbok, try a Wrap Attack! [Arbok stands, looking tough, in front of Hitmonlee.] Boy 2: High Jump Kick, Hitmonlee! [Hitmonlee jumps up, and kicks Arbok down. Arbok faints.] Boy 1: Machoke, Seismic Toss! [Machoke picks up Victreebel, and flies off
with it in circles James: They're pretty tough! Jessie: They certainly are! Boy 2: Ha! Well, it looks like we finished off all your Pokemon. Jessie: I think you're forgetting some one; Wobbuffet! I choose you! [Wobbuffet stands motionless. The bad boys and their Pokemon laugh, teasingly.] Boy 2: I'm shaking know. Jessie: I think Wobbuffet might look a little more threatening, if we removed that headband. Boy 2: This is perfect, boys, now we get a chance to beat another Wobbuffet. Boy 1: It's like a present all tied up in a ribbon! [Wobbuffet doesn't move.] Boy 2: Use your Jump Kick, Hitmonlee! [Hitmonlee lunges toward Wobbuffet.] Jessie: Wobbuffet, use Counter! [A red light shines around Wobbuffet. Hitmonlee
continues Boy 1: Machoke, Seismic Toss! [Machoke prepares to attack.] Jessie: Wobbuffet, Counter Attack! [Wobbuffet glows bright red, and Machoke gets punched back.] Boy 3: Hurry, Primeape! Try a Fury Swipes Attack! [Primeape shakes its claws, furiously.] Jessie: Wobbuffet, Counter Attack! [Wobbuffet glows red again. Primeape scratches itself. Ash and co. laughs happily.] Ash: All right! Jessie: You're not as wobbly as you look, are you? Boy 3: What are we going to do? Boy 2: We can beat it, if we attack it together. Boys: Yeah! Boy 2: Hitmonlee! Use High Jump attack! Boy 3: Primeape! Use Fury Swipes attack! Boy 1: Machoke, use your Karate Chop! [Hitmonlee, Primeape and Machoke prepare to fight.] Jessie: Wobbuffet, get ready to counter! [Wobbuffet glows red, once more and the three
Pokemon Lulu: Well, looks like the battles over. Will you be staying for the Festival, boys? Boys: Uh…no way! [They run off.] Jessie: It's good to see someone else run away for a change. James: You're a winner, Wobbuffet! Lulu: I knew you could do it! Thank you all! Our village is very grateful! Officer Jenny: But that still doesn't excuse what you did! Jessie: You're right. Be broke the Festival Rule against battling. James: And rule-breakers should be dealt with swiftly. Meowth: We must go! [They fly off in the Meowth balloon.] Jessie: I wish only good things to for you and all your Wobbuffets. James: Thanks very much for your warm hospitality! Meowth: Best of luck with the Festival. Young Man: Those guys turned out to be pretty nice. Lulu: They may have broken the rules, but they did it for unselfish reasons. [The Wobbuffet choruses a "Thank you."] Brock: Maybe they're not so bad, after all. Misty: Is that even possible? [Ash looks carefully to analyze what Team Rocket's
doing. A metal claw comes Ash: What's that? Officer Jenny: That's the food for the Festival! [The gang chases them.] Ash: I knew they were to good to be true! Officer Jenny: Stop thieves! [The chase continues.] Jessie: I can't believe those bumpkins bought our hokey hero act. James: They did, Jessie. Jessie: So long, suckers! [Team Rocket cackles evilly.] Ash and Co.: Stop!!!! [They exit the village.] Misty: Staryu, I choose you! [Staryu appears.] Burst that balloon with a tackle attack! [Staryu pops the balloon, and air leaks out,
causing Misty: How could you steal food from these people? Ash: They were nice to you! Jessie: What do you expect from Wobbuffet fans? James: No way, we're giving this food back! Meowth: You're going to have to take it back! Jessie: Arbok! [Arbok appears from its Pokeball.] James: Wheezing! [Wheezing appears from its Pokeball.] Jessie: You can't stop us! It's against the rules to battle during the Festival! James: We're not as dumb as we look! Meowth: [Teasingly] We beat ya! [Ash and co. look worried.] Officer Jenny: Not quite. We're outside the village. Battling's only forbidden inside the village. [Jessie and James gasp.] Ash: All right, Pikachu! Time for a Thunderbolt! [Pikachu releases a Thunderbolt, which shocks
Team Rocket. There is a thunderous All: Team Rocket's blasting off, again! Ash: We did it!
Young Man: Thanks for all your help, guys. Why don't you stick around for the fireworks, tonight? Lulu: We're going to have dancing, and a Wobbuffet chorus and plenty of food. Why don't you stay? Ash: Thanks, sounds like a lot of fun. Misty: Let's celebrate! [That night Ash and co. celebrates the Wobbuffet Festival.] Narrator: So thanks to some unexpected help from Team Rocket,
the bad guys are gone, and the party is on!
James: Oh! We lost food, friends, and a festival. We should have quit while we were ahead. Meowth: Don't remind me. Jessie: We've still got one thing, though. Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet!
