Pokemon Journeys Season 3: Mew's Pokemon Johto Journey

Episode 57: Hook, Line, and Stinker

Today, Mew and her friends, and their Pokemon are taking a relaxing break at a shady mountain stream. They relax as some of the Water Pokemon swim around. Even Togepi is playing in the water.

"How does the water feel, Togepi?" Misty asks.

"Toge Toge Togepri!" (Nice and cool!) Togepi happily says.

Poliwhirl soon drifts by.

Misty calls out, "Don't drift too far away, okay, Poliwhirl?"

Poliwhirl waves, "Poli..." (I won't...)

But suddenly, a huge Poliwrath comes up behind Poliwhirl, "Poliwrath!" (Hey, shrimp!)

"That's a tough looking Poliwrath," Misty says.

"Yeah and doesn't it seem too friendly," Brock says.

Poliwrath lifts its arm in the air, "Poliwrath, Poli!" (Have a drink, nerd!) and smacks it hard on Poliwhirls' head.

Everyone is shocked to see it

Poliwrath then punches Poliwhirl into the air, sending it crashing in front of the group.

Misty gasps, "Poliwhirl!"

"Whirl..." (Ow...) Poliwhirl replies, dazed.

Misty puffs and glares at Poliwrath as it laughs, "Poliwrath, Poliwrath, Poliwrath, wrath! (Haw, Haw! Haw, haw!)

Pichu asks Poliwhirl, "Pichu Pichu?" (Are you alright?)

"That Poliwrath's nothing but a big bully," Misty

"Yeah," Mew and the others agree.

Suddenly, they hear someone say, "Your Pokémon's a pipsqueak."

The group turns to see a boy with blue-green hair, carrying a fishing rod step in

"So that's your Poliwrath!" Misty angrily says, "Why did it attack my Poliwhirl?"

"I made a mistake. I didn't know it was a Poliwhirl, I thought it was a Poliwimp," The boy taunts.

Misty angrily says, "You take that back!"

Why should I?"The boy taunts, "After one little tap, your Poliwhirl is so scared, it's trying to hide behind you!"

"Huh?" Misty questions, and looks down to see Poliwhril hiding behind Misty.

"It looks Poli-whipped!" The boy says.

"Poliwhirl..." (I am a wimp...) Poliwhirl nervously says.

"But I guess that's what you hafta expect from a plain old Poliwhirl. If it was any good, it would've evolved already," The boy says.

"Lots of great Pokémon aren't fully evolved yet, and Misty's Poliwhirl here is a great Pokémon!" Brock says.

"You bet it is!" Mew says.

"Poli..." (He called me a wimp...) Poliwhril says.

"Maybe that's true, but look at her Psyduck...and that Staryu and Goldeen! They look like wimps, too! It's pretty obvious they could use a good trainer," The boy says in a mocking tone.

Misty blows her top, "I'll show you what kind of trainer I am! Let's battle!"

"Hey, I'd love to battle, but I've got other plans for today, Red," The boy says.

Then turns to his Pokemon, "Let's go, Poliwrath!" and recalls his Poliwrath.

"Better work on your Poliwhirl, kid," The boy says and takes his leave.

"Work on your attitude!" Misty angrily says.

"Poliwhirl..." (Why me...) Poliwhirl worriedly replies.

Mew and the others are walking along and Misty is still steamed about what happened.
