Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Team Rocket Trio Causing Trouble In Mount Moon

[Suddenly...]

(Jessie's voice says.)

Jessie: "Trouble!"

James: "Make that double!"

(James's voice comes up.)

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 blast off at the speed of light.

James: Surrender now or prepare to fight.

Meowth: Meowth, that's right.

Seymour: "They sure are showoffs!"

(Seymour comments.)

Mew: "Don't you guys ever get tired of saying the same things over and over?"

(Mew asks.)

Jessie: "You're just jealous, girl!"

(Jessie says.)

James: "Because we won't let you join us."

(James adds.)

(Mew angrily says.)

Mew: "I'd never join up with you!"

Brock: "You put the lights in this cave! It's your fault the Pokemon who live here are confused!"

(Brock angrily says.)

Jessie: "What a shame,"

(Jessie says.)

(James sarcastically says.)

James: "How will we ever forgive ourselves?"

Meowth: "We wanna get our hands on the Moon Stone so we can power up our Pokemon with it!"

(Meowth says.)

(Then Jessie says.)

Jessie: "With the Moon Stone in our hands, nothing will stop us!"

Mew: "We won't let you get away with this."

(Mew says.)

(Then Brock says.)

Brock: "You want a rock, take one of these, then get lost!"

Jessie: "Get lost? How rude."

(Jessie sternly says.)

James: "Let's teach him manners."

(James adds.)

(Mew and Brock then bring out their Pokeballs.)

(Mew turns to Misty.)

Mew: "Keep an eye on Seymour and Clefairy. Make a run for it when you get the chance."

Misty: "Right,"

(Misty answers.)

(Team Rocket jumps up and throws their Pokeballs.)

Jessie and James: "Ready or not! Koffing/Ekans!"

(Mew throws her Pokeball.)

Mew: "Pidgeotto, I choose you!"

Brock: "Here we go!"

(Brock says, and throws his Pokeball.)

(The Pokeballs hit the ground, and Ekans and Koffing come out of their Pokeballs.)

(And soon, Mew's Pidgeotto comes out, and a Zubat comes out of Brock's Pokeball.)

Mew: "A Zubat!?"

(Mew says, surprised.)

Brock: "I caught one too!"

(Brock says.)

Mew: "Hmm, I see,"

(Mew says.)

[Just then...]

(James calls out.)

James: "Koffing, Smog attack!"

(Koffing begins to fly around, spraying smog around the cave.)

(Mew calls out.)

Mew: "Pidgeotto, Whirlwind, now!"

Brock: "Zubat, Double Team, now!"

(Brock calls out.)

(Pidgeotto and Zubat join forces and flap their wings together to blow the smog away.)

James: "What's this?"

(James asks, until he and Jessie are trapped in the smog.)

Mew: "Not bad!"

(Mew says.)

(Misty turns to Seymour and Clefairy.)

Misty: "Now's our chance!"

(Mew turns to Clefairy.)

Mew: "Clefairy, go with Misty and Seymour."

Clefairy: "Clefairy," (Okay.)

(Clefairy says.)

(Misty, Seymour, and Clefairy make their escape.)

(Just then, Ekans bite into Pidgeotto.)

(Mew gasps.)

Mew: "Pidgeotto!"

(Then Koffing tackles Brock's Zubat.)

Brock: "Zubat, hang on!"

(Brock calls out.)

(As the group battle, Meowth is able to sneak away to go after Clefairy.)

(Then Brock calls out.)

Brock: "Go, Supersonic!"

(Zubat then performs Supersonic that hit both Ekans and Koffing.)

James: "Oh no!"

(James exclaims.)

[Soon...]

(Ekans and Koffing are getting confused and attacking each other.)

(Jessie shouts.)

Jessie: "Ekans! Koffing!"

James: "What's the matter with you weaklings?"

(James shouts.)

Brock: "Ekans and Koffing are getting all confused!"

(Brock says.)

(Then Mew calls out.)

Mew: "Pidgeotto, Whirlwind, now! Blow them all out of the cave!"

(Pidgeotto flies in the air and flaps its wings fast and hard.)

(Soon, Jessie and James are caught in the wind.)

(Ekans and Koffing hit them and are being blown away.)

James: "It's time Team Rocket blasted off!"

(James screams.)

(Jessie calls out.)

Jessie: "You may have won this round, but we'll be back!"

(Soon, Team Rocket is gone.)

Mew: "We did it!"

(Mew happily cheers.)

Brock: "Excellent teamwork!"

(Brock says.)

(Suddenly, Mew realizes something.)

Mew: "Wait, aren't we missing someone?"

Brock: "Yeah, something's missing."

(Brock says.)

(Suddenly, they realize.)

Mew and Brock: "Where's Meowth?"

[Suddenly...]

(Mew feels a nudge and turns her head to see Sandshrew.)

(She recognizes it to be the same one she helped earlier.)

(Mew kneels down.)

Mew: "What is it, Sandshrew?"

(Sandshrew points it's finger to a direction and says.)

Sandshrew: "Sandshrew Sandshrew Sandshrew," (The Meowth you're talking about went this way. Follow me.)

(Mew turns to Brock.)

Mew: "Sandshrew knows where Meowth went, let's follow it."

(Outside of the cave, Clefairy hops away out of the cave.)

(Misty and Seymour are able to follow.)

Misty: "Oh no, Clefairy's running away!"

(Misty panics.)

(Clefairy continues to hop up the hill as Misty and Seymour climb up the wall.)

(Seymour calls out.)

Seymour: "Clefairy! Come back!"

(Clefairy continues to hop along the path until Meowth stands in front of it.)

Meowth: "Meowth's got you now!"

(Clefairy cries out.)

Clefairy: "Fairy!" (Oh no!)

(Misty looks up.)

Misty: "Clefairy!"

(Clefairy then jumps off and hits Misty on the head.)

(Soon, she, Clefairy, and Seymour fall off the cliff side and land in the water.)

(Just then, Meowth jumps on the rock and says.)

Meowth: "Alright! Give Meowth that Moon Stone!"

(and shows off his claws.)

(Seymour nervously says.)

Seymour: "Meowth, I'm sure we can be reasonable about this!"

(Meowth pounces in the air.)

Meowth: "No, we can't!"

Misty: "Not so fast, Meowth!"

(Misty says and throws her Pokeball.)

(The Pokeball falls into the water and lands on the ground.)

(It opens to reveal a golden-brown, starfish-like Pokémon with five appendages.)

(These appendages surround an exterior organ called the core.)

(The core resembles a golden metal casing with a red gem in the center, which is held in place by a golden ring looped around Staryu's lower left point.)

(Misty calls out.)

Misty: "Staryu, Swift Attack!"

(Staryu then uses it's Swift attack to strike at Meowth.)

(Meowth cries out in pain.)

Misty: "Water Gun, Staryu!"

(Misty calls out.)

(Staryu lands on the rock and sprays a water gun into Meowth's mouth and bloats him like a water balloon.)

(Then it flies in the air as water sprays from its mouth.)

(Misty waves goodbye and says.)

Misty: "Bye, Meowth! Have a nice Trip!

Clefairy: "Clefairy,"

(Clefairy replies.)

(Misty then calls back her Pokemon.)

Misty: "Staryu, return."

(Suddenly, Mew calls out.)

Mew: "Hey!"

(Misty and Seymour turn to see Mew, Brock, Eevee, Pikachu, and Sandshrew hurrying towards them.)

(When they arrive, Mew asks.)

Mew: "Is everybody alright?"

Misty: "We won't be bothered by Meowth anymore thanks to Misty the Mighty."

(Misty says.)

(As the sun sets, our heroes are having something to eat.)

(Mew and Brock give their Pokemon to food and they really love it.)

(Mew smiles.)

Mew: "The Pokemon really love your food Brock.

Brock: "Thanks Mew, This Pokemon food is made from my own secret recipe. The ingredients are specially blended for each Pokemon."

(Brock says.)

(Mew then takes a piece from the jar and begins to eat the food.)

Mew: "They're really good, it's no wonder the Pokemon loves it."

(Mew says.)

Brock: "I've been developing it for years. I keep improving on the recipe. I'll make a batch for Pikachu."

(Brock says, feeding Zubat.)

Seymour: "I'll try some,"

(Seymour says.)

(Seymour takes the piece and eats it.)

(Then says.)

Seymour: "Not bad."

Misty: "Hmm, I always wonder how Pokemon food tastes."

(Misty says, and takes a piece of it herself.)

(Then chews on it, but she flinches and doesn't seem to like it.)

Brock: "You might not like it, but the Pokemon sure do."

(Brock says.)

[Meanwhile...]

(Pikachu, Eevee, Sandshrew, and Clefairy are having conversation on the boulder close by.)

(Mew and her friends turn to see the Pokemon talking to each other.)

(Since Mew can understand them, she knows what Clefairy and the others are saying.)

Misty: "Hey guys, what's clefairy talking about?"

Pikachu: "Pika Pi," (We need to get going.)

(Pikachu says.)

Clefairy: "Clefairy," (Right now.)

(Clefairy says.)

Mew: "What's up?"

(Mew asks.)

Eevee: "Eevee Eevee," (Follow Clefairy.)

(Eevee says.)

(With that, the four Pokemon hurry off.)

(Mew turns to the others.)

Mew: "We'll need to follow them."

(Mew and the others follow them as well.)

(Sandshrew stays with them as well.)

(The Pokemon continue leading the others up the hill.)

(Mew asks.)

Mew: "Pikachu. Eevee. where on Earth are you taking us?"

(Clefairy and the other Pokemon jump out of the bushes and come to a stop.)

(Mew and the others walk over to notice a cave ahead.)

Mew: "It's another cave!"

(Mew says.)

(Clefairy and the Pokemon enter the cave and walk out of the other side, Mew and the others follow.)

(When they enter the cave, they are in awe to see a large glittering stone shining under the brightness of the full moon that shines through a large opening above.)

(There are also small stones circling around it.)

Seymour: "It's the core of the Moon Stone!"

(Seymour says, astonished.)

Misty: "This feels like a dream!"

(Misty says, amazed.)

Brock: "So the Moon Stone legend is true!"

(Brock says.)

(Suddenly, Mew notices.)

Mew: "Look! Clefairy's doing something!"

(The Clefairy from earlier hops on a small pillar and places its stone with the others.)

(Soon, all the stone including the core begins to glow bright blue.)

(Then all the Clefairy comes out of and in front of the stone.)

(Not just Clefairy, their pre-evolve form Cleffa and their evolved form, Clefable arrive as well.)

Misty: "There are so many of them!"

(Misty says, amazed.)

Seymour: "Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable,"

(Seymour says, astonished.)

(One of the Clefairy steps forward and says.)

Clefairy: "Clefairy! Fairy Fairy, Clefairy!"

Brock: "I think they're saying hello."

(Brock says.)

(Mew says.)

Mew: "The Clefairy says, 'Greetings, friends. And welcome to our Moon Stone Celebration.'"

Misty, Brock and Seymour: "Celebration?"

(The group says, confused.)

[Suddenly...]

(Misty notices something amazing.)

Misty: "Look at them!"

(The Cleffa are moving as they hop up and down.)

(Clefairy does the same, but they spin as they hop and in a different direction.)

(The Clefable spins like the Clefairy, but in the same direction as the Cleffa.)

Seymour: "Amazing. These Pokemon have formed their own society. This is an incredible sight."

(Seymour says, impressed.)

(Soon, Pikachu and Eevee begin to talk to Clefairy.)

(Clefairy talks to them back.)

(When Clefairy explains, Pikachu and Eevee are really surprised.)

(Mew turns to her Pokemon.)

Mew: "Say Pikachu, Eevee, what's Clefairy been telling you anyways, huh?"

(Pikachu and Eevee then explain to them about what the Clefairy has told them.)

(Mew is soon amazed to hear it.)

Mew: "Wow! It's amazing!"

(Mew says, amazed.)

Misty: "So what did they say?"

(Misty asks.)

(Mew turns to her friends.)

Mew: "It's actually a celebration for Clefairy, Cleffa, and Clefable. They called it the Moon Stone Moonlight Prayer."

Misty, Brock and Seymour: "Moon Stone Moonlight Prayer!"

(The group says, surprised.)

Mew: "Yes. Every full moon, all the Clefairy, Cleffa, and Clefable gather together, each having a Moon Stone Fragment. They placed it around the core and they prayed to it as they performed a dance around it. Sometimes, some of the Clefairy even evolve into Clefable.

Brock: "That's amazing."

(Brock says.)

Misty: "But the question is why?"

(Misty wonders.)

(Seymour then suggests.)

Seymour: "Is it because the Moon Stone fell from the heavens?"

Misty: "Then maybe the legends are true. Maybe the Moon Stone really did come from space."

(Misty says.)

Mew: "Yeah,"

(Mew says.)
