112: A Tent Situation
|
|
This episode will feature nearly every important Pokemon character in the series, see Tracey's first real-life meeting with his idol Professor Oak, re-ignite Ash's fierce rivalry with Gary Oak, see Professor Oak and Mrs. Ketchum receive their Gratuitous Sex Ball and most importantly, finally, FINALLY....
Brock is back.
With Ash's adventures in The Orange League behind him, he has returned home to Pallet Town, taking a very roundabout path to get back from the short, quick errand his Daddy send him on.
As was suspected, there is no dock in Pallet Town, and Ash has had to walk to get back home from the real city with the docks. Still, any weariness he might feel is dispelled when he spots his home, grinning at Pikachu who seems just as excited to be back.
Misty asks Togepi if it recalls Pallet, to which the monster roars with contemptuous delight. You see, it had forgotten Pallet, but now Misty has brought the small town back to it's attention and it will not now escape his wrath come the time for World Domination.
Nice one, Misty.
Tracey, too, is excited, his chubby belly heaving up and down with expectation as he ponders finally meeting his idol, mentor and sexual fantasy, Professor Oak.
Ash suggests that the Chubbster show him his sketches, and then gasps as Tracey settles down to ponder his massive volumes of work, equalling for size even the vast library of Brainy Smurf.
This explains Tracey having surprising broad shoulders for such a chubbster, as he's been hefting those books about in that backpack of his for several weeks now.
Tracey is all in a tizz, unable to figure out just which of his sketches he should show The Professor. He decides to scan throughout all of his volumes to find the best work, but as that would likely take the same length of time as Ash's entire journey throughout The Orange Islands, Ash and Misty suggest they head to Ash's place and have lunch while he sorts throughout his work.
Ash, excited at the thought of finally ditching Chubbo with his Daddy, throws his arm high, which unfortunately puts his armpit in direct confrontation with Misty's nose. The young girl turns aside as Ash and Tracey rush off, and she comments to Togepi that she's not the only one who wants lunch.
"To-gah-pee!" roars Togepi with laughter, which loosely translates to : Soon, foolish wench, I shall feed on all of your souls! All too soon! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Or words to that effect.
As they rush off, the camera slowly pans along the trees and bushes the other way, revealing to us, of course, yet another character whose return we have eagerly awaited.
JIGGLYPUFF!
The trio are walking along towards The Ketchum Residence, but Ash can't handle it anymore, he just can't wait to see his mother's face and he takes off, Pikachu on his shoulder, running through the fence, up to the door, stopping momentarily to sigh with relief before he opens up, steps in and calls out surprise.
"Is that you Ash?" calls an incredibly familiar voice, the voice of someone who has been a nurturer, curer and mother to Ash for quite some time now. Ash's eyes widen and Misty seems somewhat surprised, and Ash quickly runs into the kitchen where the shadows part to reveal the mother figure to Ash, wearing a pink apron and mixing something in a bowl. Yes, it's....
BROCK!!!!!
"He... he's back!" gasps Ash, skidding by the tall, tanned and toned Gym Leader, crashing into the fridge as Misty finally lays eyes on Mr. Squinty again and feels a flush of that little something special that kept her from revealing her feelings for Ash.
"Who's that?" asks Tracey, none the wiser.
"That's.... Brock!" gasps Misty, unsure what these strange feelings are. Different to how she feels for Ash (both infuriated and enraptured at the same time), there is something more primal about the emotion Misty feels as she sets her eyes on The Pewter City Gym Leader again.
It's a four letter word beginning with L, can you Dodger's figure out what it is?
That's right, it's lust!
"Hey Misty," replies Brock smoothly, instantly pulling Togepi from her grip.
"Hiya Togepi," he says, "Looking good."
Translation : Ahh Togepi, don't think I don't know all about you, you Freaky Little Egg Thingy.
"Togepi!" replied Togepi happily.
Translation : Very well, Squinty One, but know that you can not stop me yet, my power over the red-headed one is strong and twould do more damage than good to sever our psychic connection just yet.
Man, you can feel the tension in the air!
"What do you mean, how you doing!?!" yells Misty, as usual compensating for her strange erotic feelings by pretending to be angry, "What are you doing here!?!"
Tracey steps in, a little in awe at the dynamic presence that this man gives off. No wonder he never really seemed to fit in with Ash and Misty, how could anyone replace this, this, this BROCK!
Brock knows exactly who Tracey is, greeting him and offering him, in typical mothering Brock fashion, a cup of tea.
"I just made a fresh pot of Indigo Wulong which has a delightful peachy flavour, it has a floral fragrance and I think you'll find it very refreshing."
DAMN! OUR BITCH BE BACK!
Ash and Misty stare on in shock, unable to believe how smoothly Brock has fit himself back into their group, even excepting his replacement with good grace.
Togepi, for the most part, seems concerned as it tries to figure out a way that it can get around this upstart young man's deadly presence.
As Brock quickly supplies them all with cups of tea, Misty and Ash continue to probe at him over why he isn't still on Valencia Island looking after the three lesbian Research Assistants, learning more about being a Pokemon Breeder and helping out Professor Ivy.
"That name!" gasps Brock, the air around him turning blue as a backdrop of what looks suspiciously like sperm appears. He drops into the fetal position, his face set in it's usual inscrutable Buddha mask as he begs them not to mention THAT name again.
Ash, of course, mentions it immediately and Brock groans with pain, throwing his head back as the Trio look on in confusion and Togepi allows a small smile to cross it's evil lips (don't believe us, watch the episode for yourself!) until Misty suggests that perhaps the drunken souse dumped him at some point, telling Tracey that such things always happen to Brock.
Togepi roars with laughter at this, knowing that Brock does indeed have a weakness which it can, at some point, exploit.
"You're finally home!" gasps the voice of Mrs. Ketchum and they turn to see her standing in the doorway, wearing a hat and holding a bunch of flowers likely given to her by Professor Oak, the romantic devil.
"MR. MIME!" agrees Mr. Mime mimingly, as Ash laughs and runs forward to hug his mother, who ducks down at just the right instant to cuddle Pikachu, leaving her bastard child to slam face-forward into the hard wooden floor. Ash, having taken two falls after encountering two of his mothers, is understandably a little upset and wants to know if she's at least a little pleased to see him.
"Oh hi, sweetie," she says, noticing Ash at last.
"Same old Mum," mutters Ash, hanging his head.
Ummmm, anybody else remember Pokemon : Revelation Lugia (or P2K if you must) and Mrs. Ketchum's emotional outburst to her son following a night of loooove with Professor Oak, a reporter, sousey Professor Ivy and a cameraman?
Just thought we'd bring that up.
Mrs. Ketchum greets Misty as well, asking how Togepi is before also saying hello to Tracey. Misty, in an aside to Mrs. Ketchum, asks how long Brock has been living with her (man that Mrs. Ketchum! Professor Oak, Mr. Mime and now Brock as well!).
Mrs. Ketchum uses her regular memory association system, thinking first of Brock, then of how hot he is, then of hot sex with Professor Oak, then about hot muggy sex with Professor Oak until finally she remembers that on a hot muggy evening about a week ago, she and Mr. Mime were walking along.
Mrs. Ketchum was pleased to have gotten to the market in time, given that without the Gratuitous Sex Ball that Ash was sent to get months ago, she's had to make frequent trips to the local Sex Market to get things to keep Professor Oak satisfied.
Walking along, she steps on a bump in the road wearing a hat and trench-coat, making it moan in pain. Hearing the noise, she and Mr. Mime fear foul play and set back the other way to figure out what made the noise, causing the bump to groan again.
Given that Mr. Mime should also be known as Mr. Moron and that Mrs. Ketchum's brain is stuffed with memories of bizarre sexual practises with Professor Oak both past and future, they walk around in a small circle for a good half hour or so, stepping onto Brock again and again until she finally realises that he's there.
She apologises profusely, pulling the hatted and trench-coated figure up, the hat dropping off to reveal a smiling, squinting, tanned and toned Gym Leader.
Brock!
She takes him home (how often do you Dodger's think that this has happened, Mrs. Ketchum finds a half dead, young boy lying in the street and takes him home.
She feeds him soup and tries to get his story out of him, but every time she mentions Professor Ivy he's down in the fetal position, cupping his knees to his chest and moaning.
Boy, what deviant sexual practises did that drunken souse and her three lesbian Research Assistants pull on the previously virginal Brock?
And how do we apply?
Brock soon makes good use of himself, cleaning and seamstressing so well that a shocked - and somewhat jealous - Mr. Mime finds himself with nothing to do.
Misty comments that at least he's a good houseguest, at which point the tanned, toned Gym Leader charges by and battles with Mr. Mime over the broom, demanding to be given the chance to sweep up.
Ash figures that there's no way they'll ever figure out what happened (just check out www.ProfessorIvyisadrunkensouse.com kiddies) but Misty, in an attempt to be circumspect, whispers to Ash that she knows what happened, Brock liked Professor Ivy. Tracey, meanwhile, slides down beside Ash and whispers, "Uhhh, Ash."
"I liked her too," mutters Ash, not getting it as usual, causing an irritated Misty to whisper that sometimes he's just as immature as Gary, while Tracey furtively whispers, "Ash, can I talk to you for a second?"
What's the matter, Chubbo, need to use the toilet?
Ash doesn't hear a word Tracey says, however, only hearing the mention of his hated rivals name and dropping to the ground, clutching his knees to his chest and burying his head as the same blue light of Brock's sexual abusion surrounds him.
Pikachu pats his shoulder in an attempt to cheer him up as Misty yells at him to stop acting like Brock and Tracey gapes like a chubby, Professor Oak loving fool.
Mrs. Ketchum knows exactly what is needed to cheer up her little pumpkin, figuring she should cook up a little something special.
"MR. MIME!" mimes Mr. Mime mimingly, as Mrs. Ketchum decides it would be best to make up Ash's favourite meal, Deep Dish Chili Dog Pizza Pot Pie. It should be noted that Mr. Mime lost it's battle for the broom with Brock, who is happily sweeping up as we speak.
Misty sucks up to her future Mother-In-Law sickeningly, telling her that whatever she makes will be great, while Ash goes into small child theatrics as he begs for the Deep Dish Chili Dog Pizza Pot Pie.
Tracey, meanwhile, appears to feel the need to use the toilet more and more, tapping at Ash's shoulder, asking him for a moment, a second, a millisecond of his time, ignored the entire time until, like most chubby kids/nerds/geeks/socially maladjusted freaks/losers he goes ape-shit and screams that he will be acknowledged, he WILL be answered!
The others stare at him, somewhat surprised, and he sheepishly asks not the way to the bathroom, but the way to his hunka hunka hunka burning Scientist Love, Professor Oak.
This causes Ash to remember that he was supposed to deliver The GS Ball to Professor Oak, and pulls the sex toy out along with his Orange League Trophy, proudly telling his mother that he wants her to have it.
She grabs it off him with glistening eyes, thanking him heartfeltly before grabbing another dumb-bell and doing her exercises with it, wanting to keep her body in peak physical condition for the sexual marathon her and Professor Oak (and maybe, just maybe Mr. Mime) will be having with The GS Ball later on.
Brock loses the apron and then he, Tracey, Misty, Pikachu and Ash set off to see The Professor at last. Tracey clutches his sketches to his chest like a heartsick schoolgirl, eyes closed as he fantasises over his meeting and presentation to Professor Oak.
Chubby-Vision wobbles into focus :
Professor Oak : Oh my, Tracey Ketchum, the young but respected Pokemon Watcher. I've followed your career with quite some interest young man, you've certainly made quite an impact in your field, are these sketches for me?
Tracey (in deep baritone) : Why yes, Professor, in fact I think you'll find those images of the Kabutops of particular interest. I was, of course, on the Island itself when they de-fossilized and swam out into the ocean.
Professor Oak : Oh my yes, Ash told me all about how your heroics saved the day, I must say these are incredibly detailed, remarkably insightful images, Tracey, might I have your permission to use them in a new study I'm preparing on the mating habits of Pokemon?
Tracey (seductively) : Professor, anything you ask of me to do with mating, the answer is yes.
Professor Oak (casting an appreciative glance over Tracey) : Hmmm, come with me my boy, I think I can find the right.... position.... for you in my lab.
Tracey : Why thank you Professor, I'm honoured.
Professor Oak : Please, call me Samuel....
His idyllic fantasy world is interrupted by Misty, asking him if those are the sketches he plans to show Professor Oak. They are, of course, but Tracey is only hopeful he doesn't lose his nerve and chicken out at the last second.
Ash is eager to see all the Pokemon he fobbed off on his Daddy to look after for him, and Misty is sure they'll be happy to see the Trainer that they barely know as well.
Tracey asks Brock what it was like the first time he met The Professor, which causes Brock to slam to the ground and curl into the fetal position, moaning pain again at the memories of the indignities forced upon him.
When they angrily remind him that Tracey meant Professor Oak, Brock instantly recovers and goes into a small diatribe about what a great guy Professor Oak is. Tracey gets all excited, of course, and runs/waddles clumsily forward, followed by the original trio of Ash, Misty and Brock, watched through binoculars by, who else, our beloved Team Rocket.
Meowth is holding the binoculars, James is sitting Indian Style and Jesse is lying on her stomach, munching on something (dirt? grass? candies?) and looking downright seductive.
Then again, when doesn't she?
Meowth has figured out that Ash would head straight for the old geezers house, not really sure why, not knowing that Ash is the illegitimate, bastard child of Professor Oak.
James suggests that they ring the Boss to let them know that they're still on the twerps trail, to which Meowth responds by smacking him and Jesse around with a fan, asking them what the hell Giovanni is going to think when they tell him they haven't caught one single, solitary Pokemon in all this time.
Okay, maybe he didn't say hell.
James, meanwhile, is engaging in a little of his favourite activity, boy watching, ignoring Jesse behind him as she slides her hands through her beautiful hair and thrusts out her chest, noting to the others that that older twerp who used to hang out with the younger twerps is back again.
All this time he's watching with baited breath as Brock runs smoothly along, tanned and toned arms sliding smoothly up and down, thigh muscles clenching and tightening as he pounds forward, up and down, up and down, up and down.....
Ahem yes, let's move on, shall we James?
The Foursome arrive at Professor Oak, Tracey stopping to both drink in the moment and catch his breath after having to run for more than 2 minutes at a stretch.
Looking up at Professor Oak's mansion, a disturbingly symbolic image of Mrs. Ketchum running her hand up and down a smooth, phallic shaft with a ball at the end, smiling happily before we find ourselves back at Professor Oaks.
They head up the long stairs and step inside, the mansion seemingly deserted. Tracey's excitement fades a little as he realises they might be interrupting one of Professor Oak's important experiments, but Ash is like a lumbering, stupid bull and just stamps around the hallway, calling stupidly for his Daddy until Muk slams out of a side corridor and knocks Ash to the ground, mauling him, sexually molesting the unaware little boy's body as he did to Misty once before.
Ash pulls free and, moments later, Professor Oak does the same, dragging himself out from underneath Muk as Misty rushes up and asks Ash with loving concern if he's all right.
Upon spotting his bastard child, Professor Oak smiles and greets him, telling him he was 'cleaning' Muk.
Yeah, yeah sure you were old man.
Tracey's eyes wobble like a 4 year old child as he realises that Professor Oak is really real. As The Professor prepares to stand up, Muk launches itself at Ash, knocking him down before smelling fresh meat and turning to have a go at Misty, who dodges aside.
Figuring Professor Oak is it's best bet, Muk tries to grab his legs as Brock and Ash try desperately to pull the randy Pokemon aside.
Tracey meanwhile, charges forward as Muk mauls Samuel yet again, jabbering wildly about what an honour it is to meet him, then introduces himself and asks if he can sketch the sexual abuse that the Professor is undergoing at the moment.
Finally clear, Professor Oak notes Pikachu and Togepi and greets them. Pikachu happily responds to the man that looked after it before being given to Ash, while Togepi happily Togepi's at him, which can be translated roughly as :
Your familiarity is tolerated, old man, for your knowledge and wisdom will prove useful to my foul regime in times to come.
Professor Oak then turns to Brock and tells him that Professor Ivy sends her regards. Brock instantly collapses to the ground, sitting down as he clutches his knees to his chest, horrified at Professor Oak bringing up their mutual sex-swinger partner. He cries into his arms as Muk slowly runs his fingers up Brock's ass.
"What's wrong?" asks Oak.
"You don't want to go there," mutters Misty, then tells Oak to talk to the hand, tells Mrs. Ketchum to turn her zero into a hero or kick his ass to the curb.
Or words to that effect.
Tracey then asks Ash if he's going to give Professor Oak the ball....
Oh let's not go there.
Ash lifts up The GS Ball and Professor Oak practically salivates over it, grabbed it off Ash and caressing The Gratuitous Sex Ball with eager hands. His bastard child apologises for taking so long to get it to him, and Oak pretends it doesn't matter, telling Ash that, and we quote, "I'll begin my examination a little later tonight."
Oh you dirty old man you.
He puts his sex toy up out of reach of any of them, then explains to Tracey that the large Pokeball collection he has mainly belongs to travelling trainer's who began their journey in Pallet.
He then offers to take Tracey on a tour (of what, old man, your bedroom?) and they all head off, Ash noting with surprise through a window Snorlax chomping on the apples in Oak's trees.
Snorlax doesn't even notice Ash as he runs out to see him, only interested in the food he's eating. He slams down on his Tracey sized ass and then flops onto his back, falling asleep and snoring contentedly as Tracey notes a dust cloud in the distance.
Ash shows off by mentioning that those are his Tauros, and Professor Oak notes that they hate being corralled up in their pokeballs, preferring to run free. Ash throws out his Tauros and it joins the others as an impressed Tracey begins to sketch them, until he notes a sideways walking, clicking-clacking Kingler move into view.
Ash greets his Crustacean Companion, who notes Ash, snaps something and then leaps into a nearby pond, shaking his large pincers at Ash, perhaps in a warning to stay away from him.
Hmmm, three Pokemon, each of which have ignored, run away from or threatened Ash.
Not exactly a sterling record, is it Ash?
Professor Oak is doing a little self-congratulatory patting on the back when he notices the shift of Tracey's body beneath his shirt, the way his arm moves expertly up and down in a familiar motion. Could this be the one? Is this the boy to inject new energy and passion into the mad Swingers Orgy that is Professor Oak's life?
He steps up directly behind Tracey and looks the boy over, complimenting him and stroking his ego as an ecstatic, unbelieving Tracey offers to show him more of his artwork.
The original trio watch on, impressed by this display of the noble art of seduction.
Well, two of them.
Well, one of them.
Maybe.
Inside, Oak looks through some of Tracey's sketches, a nervous, shaking Tracey looking on, shaking so much that he makes Ash and Misty's tea almost fall out of their cups. They yell at Tracey as Brock slides up beside Oak and asks him what he thinks of the Chubbster, and the two fall into a whispered discussion, picking over Tracey's good points and bad ones. Brock enjoyed a temporary berth as a member of their Swingers Circle, but with his new aversion to Professor Ivy, he's out and they need someone in.
Is Chubbo that person?
Before this important question can be answered, a three pawed claw pushes a remote controlled button and a rumbling noise alerts those inside that something is going on.
Brock notes that something is surrounding the whole place, and indeed it is. Their Meowth Balloon hovers over Oak's mansion and has just lowered a tent to cover the place, leaving them, their Pokemon and The GS Ball trapped inside.
A Tent Situation indeed!
Jigglypuff steps out of the bushes and finds it's progress blocked by the tent, which refuses to yield to it's weak little fins/arms, leaving it out of the massive tent which can have only been erected to showcase it's singing talents.
The cute little balloon Puffs in anger and sets off to find a way in as, inside the tent, Professor Oak comments that it looks to him like they're in a circus.
Immediately Team Rocket's laughter fills the air and they look up to see our Beloved Trio on a high wire.
"Prepare for trouble, and the greatest act yet!"
"Better make it double, because we don't use a net!"
Jesse is sitting on a unicycle and is dressed in a coat with long tails, wearing a swimsuit underneath with thigh high boots, white cuffs and holding a whip.
Excuse Dodgemaster Tim, he has to go... do something.
Ahhhh.
She is holding James up with one arm, exhibiting remarkable strength as James splays out wide, holding up an umbrella to help balance himself, also lowering wind resistance by wearing.....
A SKIN TIGHT UNITARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep, he sure can't be gay, can he!
HAHA!
Getting to the end of the motto, Jesse changes into a clown outfit incredibly fast.
"Team Rocket blasts of at the speed of lightning!"
"Surrender now cause these clown suits are frightening!"
"Meowth! That's right!"
Ash and his Daddy are appreciative and clap happily, then when Ash finally realises that it's Team Rocket he demands to know what they're doing there.
They explain that Pallet Town needed a little excitement, and nothing is more exciting than a circus. Brock is impressed, wondering out loud if there is going to be a sideshow, to which Ash replies, "No, just three freaks."
Jesse, adamant that she doesn't care, wants to know what the big twerp is doing back in town, and Meowth asks why he isn't still on Valencia Island with Professor Ivy.
Brock is gone, disappeared, until they hear him mutter. "Don't say that name."
Turning, they spot Brock sitting up in the middle of the tight rope, holding the umbrella over his head, crouched down with his ass pointed right at James.
"Eeeeeeeeeeee!!" gasps James, "He took my parasol!" Not quite the real translation, we think, given the position of James' head to Brock ass, the excited squeal in his voice and his lifted hands almost looking ready to knead, to massage, to pert, muscular globes of male flesh.....
Ahem, yes.
Meowth and Jesse demand Ash hand over Pikachu, and he's ready to call out Bulbasaur to fight when the only one of Ash's Pokemon to actually be pleased to see him return slimes up and Muks muckingly at the emotionally crippled little bastard child.
Ash sends Muk into battle and Jesse sends out Lickitung, but Muk knows a good thing when he sees it, zooms right past the perplexed Pokemon and mauls Jesse, slamming her onto her back and sliding right up her legs, lovingly caressing her flesh and....
Ahem, yes.
She demands it get off of her as Professor Oak notes that Muk loves humans (or is that, MAKES love to humans) and isn't particular over what kind.
"Slobbering over Jesse, ick! How revolting!" snaps Meowth as James looks on, perplexed, not sure what the big appeal in clambering all over Jesse's body could be....
Oh yeah, he couldn't possibly be gay, could he.
HA!
Not at all interested in seeing Jesse getting done by a slimy mass of purple flesh, James throws out Victreebell which swallows James' head and sucks on it GETCHA MIND OUTTA DA GUTTA before Muk leaps on them both and mauls them.
James, gay as he is, doesn't really want to get done by a Pokemon and pulls himself free, calling for Victreebell to use it's Razor Leaf Attack, which just doesn't cut it. Victreebell then leaps onto Muk's head, sucking the slimy Pokemon into it's mouth and preparing to use a Poison attack, which backfires and conks out Victreebell.
"Ohhhhh, lucky Mukky!" moans James.
There is now only one person in the world who doesn't think James is gay.
And that person grew up to be George W. Bush.
Let that be a lesson to you children.
Jesse demands that Lickitung slobber Muk so that they can clobber it, but Muk seems to enjoy getting licked, much to Lickitung, Jesse and James dismay.
Ash is pleased, Misty is amused, Professor Oak is happy and Tracey is basking the reflected glory of Oak, buttering up to him by telling him that he's a great trainer too.
Meanwhile, Jigglypuff continues to try and get in on the main act, pushing against the tent until a shadow falls over it and it turns to see a cloaked figure standing above it.
"Puuufff?" it puffs, unsure. Back in the tent, James calls for Victreebell to use it's Sleep Powder, which it does, finally putting Muk out as Misty calls for Ash to change Pokemon.
He's about to choose Squirtle and Bulbasaur when Meowth PUN-ishes us all by saying this isn't a three ring circus and tossing rings around their bodies, which constrict and lock them into place.
Team Rocket drop a giant suction hose down from their balloon and use it to begin sucking up all of the Pokeballs contained inside of Professor Oak's mansion, one of the biggest collections of Pokemon ever assembled.
With this, Team Rocket can go back to Giovanni with their chins held high and their chests thrust out.
Oh please let them go back with their chests thrust out!
Meowth moves up beside Brock and asks him to give up the goods on what happened in Valencia. When Brock refuses to answer, Meowth guesses that he did something embarrassing in front of Professor Ivy, and suddenly Brock is back up on the tightrope, the band around him gone, moaning, "That name, that name!"
Gots to loves The Brock! It looks like it's all over for the trio, as not only are all the Pokeballs gone, but now Professor Oak's coveted Gratuitous Sex Ball is flying up the tube as well.
It's over, Team Rocket have won and....
A claw slashes it's way through the tent, slicing it open and causing the suction to collapse the tent, dropping down the Meowth balloon and sending all The Poke-Balls flying back out of the suction pipe.
Jigglypuff is also blown clear by the flapping tent, and we're not to hear it's song this episode, although we do get to discover the identity of the mystery person in the hood and cloak.
It's...
GARY!
Ash's older nephew stands by his Nidoqueen, which makes short work of Lickitung and Victreebell, isn't even fazed by Meowth's Scratch Attack (he's not as sharp as he used to be) and soon sends Team Rocket Blasting Off Again.
Gary stands dramatically, watching his vanquished opponents disappear into the distance before instructing Nidoqueen to free the others as Tracey collects up his sketches and Ash finds The GS Ball.
Gary shows some remarkable humility and receives fine praise from both his Grandfather, Misty and Brock. He shrugs it all off, claiming that Nidoqueen deserves the credit as a petulant Ash, used to preferential treatment from Professor Oak without even knowing why, rushes forward and tells Gary he won The Orange League and has The Winners Trophy to prove it.
Gary actually congratulates the irate little boy before noting that it didn't help against Team Rocket, to which Ash retorts that he made it much further in The Pokemon League than Gary, who just responds that he's gotten better since then.
Ash is determined to win this one and challenges Gary to a Pokemon Battle, which his older nephew accepts. They stand off, facing each other and trading comments as Misty asks Brock if Ash could possibly win.
Brock responds dramatically with the bold prediction, "Maybe, maybe not."
Wow, going out on a limb there, huh Brock?
And so, Ash's first day back in Pallet finds himself pitted in a battle with his Arch-Nemesis Gary.
Who will win? will it be Gary or Ash? Ash or Gary? Gary or Ash?
Ash or Gary?
We can't say for sure who'll get the victory, or we know for sure is that, at the end of the day, there's one thing you can count on.
Ash just doesn't get it.
| BEST QUOTES |
 "He's really real!"
 "Ohhhhh, lucky
Mukky!"
