Narrator: ASH IS BACK HOME IN PALLET

TO TRAIN FOR THE POKéMON LEAGUE.

BUT, AS HE'S ABOUT TO DISCOVER,

HE'S NOT IN FOR A DAY AT THE BEACH.

OK, IF EVERYBODY'S HERE, WE'LL BE ON OUR WAY.

HEY, MOM, WHAT'S GOING ON? WHERE'S EVERYBODY GOING?

ASH, I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU.

A BUNCH OF US FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD

ARE TAKING A LITTLE TRIP TO SEAFOAM ISLAND.

YOU ARE?

IT'S GOT A COOL BEACH. I'LL BRING YOU BACK A SEASHELL.

DON'T GOOF OFF WHILE WE'RE GONE.

YOU'RE GOING TO THE BEACH, TOO?

YOUR MOM AND HER FRIENDS INVITED US TO HIT THE BEACH WITH THEM.

MISTY AND I ARE GONNA TRY WINDSURFING.

GREAT! I'LL COME WITH YOU!

UH-UH! YOU HAVE TO START YOUR POKéMON LEAGUE TRAINING AT HOME.

PIKACHU?

THIS WAY, EVERYBODY. LET'S GET GOING.

THE WAVES ARE WAITING FOR US.

TAKE CARE OF MIMEY FOR ME. DON'T TRAIN TOO HARD.

I LOVE YOU! BYE. SO LONG.

[GROANS] IT'S NOT FAIR.

PIKA.

MIME, MIME, MIME, MIME, MIME.

[KEYBOARD CLICKING]

HUH?

[GROANING]

WHAT'S WRONG, PROFESSOR?

DO YOU HAVE A HEADACHE?

NO, ASH. I'VE BEEN WRACKING MY BRAIN FOR DAYS

TRYING TO SOLVE A GREAT MYSTERY OF POKéMON EVOLUTION.

WHAT MYSTERY?

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.

HERE WE HAVE A SLOWPOKE, AND THIS IS A SHELLDER.

WHEN THE SHELLDER CLAMPS ONTO A SLOWPOKE'S TAIL, IT BECOMES A SLOWBRO.

SO THAT'S HOW A SLOWPOKE EVOLVES.

YES, BUT I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY IT HAPPENS.

[GROANS] I'VE GOT TO SOLVE THIS MYSTERY.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST USE A POKéDEX TO LOOK IT UP?

THE POKéDEX DOESN'T HAVE THE ANSWER, EITHER.

Ash: HMM...

WAIT! PROFESSOR WESTWOOD!

IF THERE'S ANYONE WHO KNOWS THE ANSWER, WESTWOOD DOES.

PROFESSOR WESTWOOD?

HE'S ONE OF THE POKéOLOGISTS WHO PROGRAMMED THE POKéDEX.

AH. PROFESSOR WESTWOOD LIVES ON SEAFOAM ISLAND.

THAT'S THE PLACE WHERE MY MOM, MISTY, AND BROCK WENT,

ISN'T IT, PIKACHU?

PIKA!

I THINK VISITING HIM

WOULD REALLY HELP WITH MY TRAINING, DON'T YOU?

PIKACHU.

♪ MIME, MIME, MIME, MIME ♪

♪ MIME, MIME, MIME ♪

IT'S BEACH TIME, MIME.

MR. MIME.

Narrator: NOW THAT HE HAS AN EXCELLENT EXCUSE--

UH, I MEAN, REASON, ASH HEADS FOR SEAFOAM ISLAND.

ALL RIGHT!

PIKA!

HEY! HEY, YOU GUYS! OVER HERE!

ASH, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE TRAINING!

I KNEW HE'D GOOF OFF IF WE LEFT HIM.

I CAME HERE TO DO SOME SPECIAL TRAINING!

DID HE SAY "TRAINING" OR "TANNING?"

AAAAAH!

Brock: WE'RE MEETING PROFESSOR WESTWOOD. AWESOME!

WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT HIM?

PROFESSOR WESTWOOD'S THE GUY WHO PROGRAMMED THE POKéDEX.

SEE, I TOLD YOU I WAS COMING HERE FOR TRAINING.

PIKA.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

AH, WHO HAVE WE HERE?

WOW, IS THIS WHERE YOU WORK ON THE POKéDEX, PROFESSOR WESTWOOD?

AH! PROFESSOR IS MUCH TOO FORMAL.

MY FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES ALL CALL ME WESTWOOD THE FIFTH.

THE FIFTH?

PIKA?

YES, THE FIFTH.

HERE YOU SEE MY GREAT-GREAT GRANDFATHER

WESTWOOD THE FIRST.

AND HIS SON, MY GREAT GRANDFATHER WESTWOOD THE SECOND.

AND THAT'S HIS SON, MY GRANDFATHER WESTWOOD THE THIRD.

AND THERE'S MY FATHER, WESTWOOD THE FOURTH.

AND THERE'S ME, THE ONE AND ONLY WESTWOOD THE FIFTH.

ALL THE PAINTINGS KIND OF LOOK ALIKE...

EXCEPT THE LAST ONE'S A LITTLE ABSTRACT.

[CLEARS THROAT] WELL AS YOU CAN SEE

I COME FROM A LONG LINE OF POKéMON RESEARCHERS.

NOW THAT'S AN INTERESTING POKéMON.

YOU MEAN TOGEPI?

I'VE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER POKéMON QUITE LIKE THAT ONE.

TOGEPI SURE IS CUTE, ISN'T IT?

TOGEPI!

YEAH, AND I'M UPDATING ALL MY RESEARCH MATERIALS

ABOUT THE RAREST LEGENDARY POKéMON.

I'M INTO LEGENDARY POKéMON, WESTWOOD 5.

YOU MUST HAVE TONS OF INFORMATION ON THEM.

ONLY WHAT I'VE CREATED MYSELF

BECAUSE I'M NOT CONVINCED MOST OF THEM EXIST.

RIGHT NOW I'M WORKING ON A FICTIONAL ACCOUNT OF THE SUBJECT.

YOU MEAN YOU'RE MAKING STUFF UP?

AAH! WELL, I GUESS YOU COULD SAY

I'M MAKING STUFF UP, I SUPPOSE.

FORGIVE ME WESTWOOD THE FIRST, THE SECOND, THE THIRD, THE FOURTH, THE FIFTH--

I FORGOT, THAT ONE'S ME. [CLEARS THROAT]

HE'S A LITTLE ECCENTRIC.

I THINK IT'S PROBABLY HEREDITARY.

HE MUST HAVE GOTTEN IT FROM WESTWOODS ONE THROUGH 4.

AT THE MOMENT I'M SOLVING A REAL-LIFE MYSTERY,

SURELY BUT SLOWLY.

LOOK, A SLOWPOKE!

Westwood: I WANT TO DISCOVER WHY SHELLDER ATTACHES TO SLOWPOKE.

I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY EVOLVE INTO SLOWBRO.

HUH?

PROFESSOR OAK HASN'T BEEN ABLE

TO FIGURE THAT OUT, EITHER.

I NEED TO STUDY SLOWPOKE AND SHELLDER

UNTIL I COME UP WITH A THEORY TO PRESENT AT THE SYMPOSIUM.

THE WHAT?

THE POKéMON SYMPOSIUM,

THE WORLD'S MOST RESPECTED GROUP OF POKéOLOGISTS.

HEY, WESTWOOD 5, WHY ARE YOU SITTING THERE FISHING?

SHOULDN'T YOU BE STUDYING SLOWPOKE?

I AM. FISHING IS PART OF MY RESEARCH

INTO SLOWPOKE'S LIFE CYCLE.

All: HUH?

YOU SEE, SLOWPOKE IS ONE OF THE FEW POKéMON THAT FISHES.

WOW. SLOWPOKE MUST BE SMARTER THAN IT LOOKS

IF IT CATCHES FISH.

I'M GONNA CHECK TO SEE WHAT DEXTER HAS TO SAY ABOUT SLOWPOKE.

Dexter: [BEEP] SLOWPOKE, THE DOPEY POKéMON.

NO ONE CAN TELL WHAT A SLOWPOKE IS THINKING--

IF IT EVER DOES THINK. ITS SPECIALTY IS FISHING WITH ITS TAIL.

IT'S NOT VERY NICE TO CALL SLOWPOKE DOPEY.

IS THAT WHAT YOU CALLED IT, WESTWOOD THE FIFTH?

MAYBE ONE OF MY ASSISTANTS WROTE THAT PARTICULAR ENTRY,

BUT DOPEY DOES SOUND LIKE AN ACCURATE TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

OF SLOWPOKE'S MENTAL CAPACITY.

Ash: I HAVE TO ADMIT IT DOESN'T LOOK TOO SMART.

AREN'T YOU GONNA DEFEND YOURSELF, SLOWPOKE?

SLOWPOKE.

PIKA?

PIKA PIKA!

AHHHHH. PI?

I KNOW I'VE SEEN THAT EXPRESSION SOMEWHERE BEFORE.

PSYDUCK.

HEY, IT'S THE SAME CLUELESS EXPRESSION PSYDUCK HAS!

WHY CAN'T YOU STAY IN YOUR POKéBALL?

TOGE.

SLOW. PIKA.

PSY?

POKE. PI?

DUCK. PIK PI?

I BET THIS ISN'T THE MOST INTELLIGENT CONVERSATION IN POKéMON HISTORY.

PSYDUCK, CAN'T YOU TELL SLOWPOKE

TO STOP ACTING AS DIM AS YOU DO?

PSYDUCK? PSY-YAY.

SLOW POKE.

PSY? SLOW?

PSY? POKE.

NOW WHAT?

I THINK THEY'RE JUST SAYING HELLO

BUT WE COULD BE HERE ALL DAY

BEFORE THEY THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY.

OH, YEAH.

PSY? SLOW.

PSY?

POKE.

[KRABBY CLICKS]

PSY-Y-YAY!

PIKA?

PIKA, PIKA.

I GUESS IT TAKES QUITE A WHILE

FOR THAT BIG A PAIN TO FIND THAT SMALL A BRAIN.

[QUACKING]

PO-O-O-OKE.

LOOK, IT'S GOT A BITE.

WELL, AT LEAST IT'S GOOD AT SOMETHING,

UNLIKE PSYDUCK.

PSY-Y-Y-DUCK.

SHE DIDN'T MEAN IT, PSYDUCK.

ALL THIS FISHING'S MADE ME HUNGRY. LET'S GO HAVE SOME LUNCH.

Brock: I WANT PIZZA!

Misty: LET'S TRY THAT TACO STAND.

Ash: THOSE HOT DOGS SURE LOOKED GOOD.

Pikachu: PIKACHU!

AHH, A NICE RELAXING DAY AT THE BEACH

IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED

AFTER THE STRESS OF HAVING TEAM ROCKET HEADQUARTERS DESTROYED.

[MEWING]

YOU DESERVE TO RELAX, TOO.

[PURRS]

[MEOW]

[SOBS] JUST LOOK AT HOW THE BOSS FAWNS OVER THAT FELINE FINK.

FIRST THE BOSS HAS US SWABBING THE DECK OF HIS YACHT

AND NOW HE'S GOT US DIGGING FOR CLAMS

LIKE A COUPLE OF CLAM DIGGERS.

KEEP DIGGING TILL YOU HIT CHINA

OR HE'LL MAKE US TAKE ANOTHER PAY CUT!

MESS UP AGAIN AND WE'RE FIRED!

WHY DON'T WE BURY MEOWTH IN THE SAND HEAD FIRST?

[PEOPLE GIGGLING]

HMM?

[SIGH] EVERYBODY'S HAVING FUN BUT US!

[GRUMBLING]

JESS, I THINK I JUST DISCOVERED A COLOSSAL CLAM.

LOOK, IT'S A SHELLDER.

SHELLDER!

OH, YOU'RE A WISE GUY, HUH?

DON'T STICK THAT TONGUE OUT AT ME, YOU CRUMMY CRUSTACEAN!

I KNOW HOW TO CLAM YOU UP BUT GOOD!

WHEEZING, I CHOOSE YOU.

GO!

WHEEZING.

YOU'RE ACTING LIKE THAT TWERP.

I JUST WANTED TO BE IN HIS GOODY-TWO-SHOES.

WHEEZ--

ING! SHELL!

POOR WHEEZING. IT GOT SHELL SHOCKED!

SHELLDER!

LOOK, THAT'S AN ICE BEAM.

WHEEZING, USE YOUR HAZE ATTACK.

WHEEZING. WHEEZ.

SHELL!

YES!

PARDON ME.

SHELLDER. NICE CAPTURE.

[GROANS] THAT'S NO FAIR.

OUR LEADER WANTS TO SEE YOU IMMEDIATELY.

HUH? HUH?

I'M GETTING SICK AND TIRED

OF WATCHING YOU 3 BLUNDERING FOOLS.

AAAH! OOH! [GROANS]

Boss: DON'T FAIL ME AGAIN OR ELSE.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO FIND OUT WHAT "OR ELSE" MEANS?

[LAUGHS] UH, NO, WE CAN FIGURE IT OUT, THANKS.

I WANT YOU SIMPLETONS

TO BREAK INTO THE LABORATORY

OF THE FAMOUS PROFESSOR WESTWOOD.

IT MAY PROVE VERY USEFUL TO ME.

OH! LOOTING LABORATORIES IS ONE OF OUR SPECIALTIES.

WE'LL CRACK THE JOINT RIGHT AWAY.

DON'T MESS THIS ONE UP.

All: RIGHT.

WHO'S THAT...

IT'S...

SO A SLOWPOKE WILL ONLY EVOLVE INTO A SLOWBRO

IF A SHELLDER CLAMPS ONTO ITS TAIL.

SO THEN WHAT'S THE BIG MYSTERY

YOU'RE TRYING TO SOLVE, WESTWOOD THE FIFTH?

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS COMPUTER SIMULATION.

HMM. HMM.

HUH? PIKA?

Westwood: SEE HERE. BEFORE IT CLAMPS ON,

SHELLDER HAS A HINGED SHELL.

BUT AFTER IT EVOLVED, SHELLDER HAS A SPIRAL SHELL.

LOOK AT THAT. INTERESTING.

IT'S ONE OF THE MOST PERPLEXING MYSTERIES IN THE POKéMON WORLD.

IF I COULD SOLVE THE SHELLDER PUZZLE,

I'D GO DOWN AS THE MOST RENOWNED RESEARCHER

IN THE HISTORY OF THE POKéMON SYMPOSIUM!

THEY'D REPLACE THE WESTWOOD FAMILY PORTRAIT

WITH A STATUE OF ME! [LAUGHING]

WESTWOOD'S A LITTLE WEIRD, ISN'T HE?

MMM. YEAH.

[BOAT ENGINE]

OH! LOOK, IT'S A PARASAIL!

THAT'S SO COOL!

I WANT TO TRY IT.

HMM? IT'S HEADING THIS WAY.

All: AAAAH!

[GRUMBLING]

HEY, WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON?

PREPARE FOR TROUBLE.

MAKE IT DOUBLE.

TO PROTECT THE WORLD FROM DEVASTATION.

TO UNITE ALL PEOPLES WITHIN OUR NATION.

TO DENOUNCE THE EVILS OF TRUTH AND LOVE.

TO EXTEND OUR REACH TO THE STARS ABOVE.

JESSY.

JAMES.

TEAM ROCKET, BLAST OFF AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT.

SURRENDER NOW OR PREPARE TO FIGHT.

MEOWTH, THAT'S FLIGHT.

ARE YOU THE PROFESSOR WHO PROGRAMMED THE POKéDEX?

YES, I AM.

WELL, NOW YOU'RE GOING TO PROGRAM THE TEAM ROCKE-DEX.

HERE ARE ALL THE VITAL STATISTICS YOU'LL NEED.

"JESSY, THE BEAUTIFUL FEMALE MEMBER OF THE TEAM.

HER BRILLIANT MIND IS SURPASSED ONLY BY HER STYLE AND PERSONALITY."

[LAUGHS]

"JAMES HAS THE LOOKS OF A MOVIE STAR,

THE AGILITY OF AN ATHLETE AND A HEAD THAT'S TOO SMALL FOR HIS BRAIN?"

THAT'S ME.

"AND MEOWTH, THE FELINE MASTERMIND

WHOSE DIABOLICAL PLANS NEVER FAIL.

THE ONLY THING SHARPER THAN HIS MIND ARE HIS CLAWS."

I'M ALSO HUMBLE AND HOUSEBROKEN.

OHH.

IT'S ALL LIES.

A MEOWTH THAT CAN SPEAK.

WHAT, YOU'D EXPECT ME TO BARK?

WHAT ARE YOU TROUBLEMAKERS DOING HERE?

OH, NO, THEY HAVE SOME NEFARIOUS PLOT

TO KIDNAP ME AND MAKE ME THEIR SLAVE!

THEY WANT MY SUPERIOR INTELLECT

TO HELP THEM RULE THE PLANET!

PLEASE, THE FIRST, THE SECOND, THE THIRD, THE FOURTH, THE FIFTH--

YOU GOTTA HELP ME! SAVE ME FOR THE SAKE OF THE WESTWOODS.

OH, I FORGOT AGAIN, THAT'S ME. [CLEARS THROAT]

WE DON'T WANT A PROFESSOR.

WE WANT TO STEAL ALL THE POKéMON WE CAN GET OUR PAWS ON.

PLEASE, NOT PROFESSOR!

CALL ME WESTWOOD THE FIFTH!

I'LL CALL YOU HENRY THE EIGHTH. JUST GIVE US THE POKéMON!

BUT THAT SLOWPOKE IS THE ONLY POKéMON I'VE GOT IN MY LAB.

SLOW.

ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING A LITTLE SMARTER?

POKE?

YOU'RE RIGHT, IT AIN'T TOO BRIGHT.

BUT WHEN WE GET THROUGH WITH IT,

THE BOSS WILL BE IN FOR A BIG SURPRISE.

[LAUGHS] WE'VE BEEN CONDUCTING OUR OWN RESEARCH,

AND WE'VE GOT SOMETHING TO MAKE SLOWPOKE EVOLVE

WITH JUST ONE BITE.

OUR SHELLDER CHOMPS DOWN ON SLOWPOKE'S TAIL,

WE GET A SLOWBRO TO BRING BACK TO THE BOSS

AND I GET MY SAUCER OF MILK!

SLOWPOKE, QUICK! GET OUT OF HERE!

POKE.

[GRUNTS]

All: AAAAH!

COME BACK HERE!

WHAAAH!

OK!

AAAAH! AAAAH!

SHELLDER, [LAUGHS] GO!

SHELLDER!

SLOW.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE A SLOWPOKE!

LET SHELLDER BITE YOU OR YOU'LL NEVER EVOLVE!

HEY, LEAVE SLOWPOKE ALONE!

HOLD IT, ASH! WE'RE AT THE OCEAN

AND WATER POKéMON ARE MY SPECIALTY.

STARYU, I CHOOSE--

SHELLDER.

PSYDUCK, NOT YOU!

SLOWPOKE.

PSYDUCK?

THIS IS A CASE OF NO MIND LEADING NO MIND.

PIKA! TOGE.

FASCINATING. I CAN PRESENT THIS TO THE SYMPOSIUM.

SHELLDER!

IT'S GONNA BE A PSYBRO.

I NEVER HEARD OF A PSYBRO.

THAT'S BECAUSE THERE'S NO SUCH THING.

SHELLDER, YOU'VE GOT THE WRONG POKéMON!

GET OFF OF PSYDUCK AND TAKE A BITE OUT OF SLOWPOKE!

PSYDUCK!

PSY-Y-Y-Y-Y-DUCK!

PSYDUCK-DUCK-DUCK-DUCK! PSY-Y-Y-Y-DUCK!

WOW! PSYDUCK USED ITS TAIL WAG ATTACK!

I MADE UP THAT PSYBRO THING.

WHEEZING, MAKE SURE THAT PSYDUCK

IS PERMANENTLY QUACKED UP.

PSY-DUCK-DUCK. PSY!

GOOD WORK, WHEEZING.

PSYDUCK, RUN AWAY!

PSY-Y-Y-Y!

OHH! 2 WEBBED LEFT FEET.

SHELLDER, CLAMP ONTO SLOWPOKE'S TAIL NOW!

SHELLDER!

PSY.

[SIGH] NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL DUMB LUCK.

PSY-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y!

[GRUNTING]

PSYDUCK!

PSYDUCK ONLY USES ITS MOST POWERFUL ATTACKS

WHEN IT GETS ITS MOST POWERFUL HEADACHES.

PSY!

PIKA! TOGEPI!

[ALL GASP]

I CAN'T MOVE! MY WHOLE BODY'S STUCK!

THAT'S IT, PSYDUCK! NICE DISABLE ATTACK!

PSYYYYY...

WHO AM I? WHAT AM I? WHERE AM I?

ALL RIGHT! IT'S CONFUSION ATTACK WORKED!

PIKA!

I'VE READ ABOUT THESE ATTACKS,

BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN THEM.

H-OH?

PSY?

Team Rocket: WE'RE SANDBLASTING OFF AGAIN!

PSY!

YOU DID GREAT, PSYDUCK!

YOU'RE AWESOME!

PIKA! DUCK?

PSYDUCK JUST SAVED YOU FROM THOSE KIDNAPPERS, SLOWPOKE.

WHY DON'T YOU GIVE IT A BIG THANK YOU?

AHH. SLOWPOKE.

SHELL!

[ALL GASP]

POKE.

YAY, SHELLDER!

NOW WE CAN STEAL A NEW SLOWBRO

INSTEAD OF AN OLD SLOWPOKE!

POOR PSYDUCK TRIED SO HARD TO STOP THEM.

SLOWPOKE.

OH, SLOWPOKE IS BEGINNING TO EVOLVE.

AHH.

CHU! TOGE!

I'M THE FIRST RESEARCHER TO WITNESS THIS.

SLOWPOKE EVOLVED INTO SLOWBRO

AND SHELLDER CHANED INTO A SPIRAL SHAPE!

SLOWBRO.

THAT WAS SO COOL!

I'M SURE GLAD WE WERE HERE TO SEE IT HAPPEN.

WE'RE SICK OF PLAYING THESE SHELL GAMES!

HUH? HUH? HUH?

SLOWBRO, ATTACK THESE KIDNAPPERS!

WHAT KIND OF ATTACK DOES SLOWBRO HAVE?

A VERY POWERFUL ONE.

AAAAH! AAAAH! AAAAH!

IT'S CALLED THE MEGA PUNCH.

THAT SOUNDS POWERFUL TO ME.

All: HERE WE COME, SLOWBRO!

SLOWBRO.

SLOWBRO, MEGA PUNCH ATTACK.

SLOWBRO?

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

IT SEEMS THAT SLOWBRO IS SUFFERING FROM THE EFFECTS

OF ONE OF ITS OWN ATTACKS.

ITS OWN ATTACK? AN ATTACK OF WHAT?

YAAAAAH! HA HA! AAAAAAH!

OF AMNESIA.

[ALL GROAN]

THAT'S SUPPOSED TO MAKE ITS OPPONENTS FORGET.

SLOWBRO.

OH, NOW YOU REMEMBER MEGA PUNCH.

READY OR NOT HERE WE COME!

HAH! SLOW...

BRO.

MEOWWW!

OWWWW!

AAAAAH!

PIKACHU! GEPI!

WE REALLY TOOK IT ON THE CHIN.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT THING LOOKED A LITTLE PUNCHY.

All: LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKET GOT KNOCKED OUT AGAIN!

I'VE FIGURED IT OUT!

MY REPORT WILL BE THE TALK OF THE SYMPOSIUM!

I'LL GET A STANDING OVATION!

SO WHY DOES A SHELLDER CLAMP ON TO A SLOWPOKE'S TAIL?

BECAUSE IT'S MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

THAT MEANS IT HELPS THEM BOTH.

SUCH AN ARRANGEMENT BENEFITS BOTH POKéMON, AS I WILL DEMONSTRATE.

SHELLDER CLAMPS ONTO SLOWBRO'S TAIL

WHICH HELPS SLOWBRO BALANCE WHEN IT STANDS ON 2 FEET.

MM-HMM.

THIS WAY, SLOWBRO'S FRONT LEGS ARE FREE,

SO IT CAN USE ATTACKS LIKE THE MEGA PUNCH.

THAT MAKES SENSE.

AND BECAUSE IT'S CLAMPED ONTO SLOWBRO'S TAIL,

SHELLDER MAY NOW TRAVEL ON LAND.

I MUST MAKE SURE TO GET ALL THIS DOWN.

SHELLDER.

SLOWBRO.

WOW! THAT WAS REALLY AMAZING!

BUT, ASH, YOU MISSED A WHOLE DAY OF TRAINING.

LEARNING ALL ABOUT DIFFERENT POKéMON

IS PART OF MY TRAINING, TOO.

ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE AT THE BEACH.

PSY, PSY.

WHAT'S WRONG, PSYDUCK?

DUCK!

PSYDUCK.

PSYDUCK PROBABLY WANTS TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO SLOWBRO

BEFORE WE LEAVE HERE. DON'T YOU, PSYDUCK?

PSY.

PSYDUCK.

SLOWBRO.

PSYDUCK.

SLOWBRO.

I'VE HEARD OF NOT KNOWING HOW TO SAY GOOD-BYE

BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

Narrator: AND SO, OUR HEROES HAVE LEARNED THE MYSTERY OF SLOWBRO'S EVOLUTION.

WHAT NEW MYSTERIES WILL ASH AND HIS FRIENDS UNCOVER?

TUNE IN NEXT TIME AND FIND OUT.

SLOWBRO.

PSY.

Narrator: DON'T WORRY, WE'LL STILL BE HERE.

Ash: DON'T GO AWAY, PIKACHU'S JUKEBOX IS NEXT.
