Type Casting

Jessie: There it is. I think we should go straight up the river.

Meowth: And so do the cops.

Jessie: James, what's taking so long? Aren't those potatoes ready yet? James: Not yet, Jess. Jessie: Can't you hurry it up a little? Meowth: Hey, maybe they'll cook faster if we turn the fire higher. James: Great idea. Meowth turns the fire up which burns the balloon and they come crashing down Jessie: That was a great idea! Meowth: Are the spuds done? James: Well done.

Fisherman: I love to, but before I do, one of you trainers could catch me a Sudowoodo.

Ash: A Sudowoodo?

Fisherman: Yes, the Sudowoodo is a real rare kind of Pokémon. They say you can find them at the top of that mountain there, but I have never seen one. Three Pokémon Trainers might have a better chance of catching a Sudowoodo than me.

Misty: [when Ash opens his Pokédex] Let’s see what Dexter says.

Dexter: “Sudowoodo, the Imitation Pokémon. This rare Pokémon hides in trees to avoid capture.”

Misty: Sudowoodo looks pretty interesting.

Pierre: That's impossible! None of the research papers back that up!

Marie: Well, if you spend less reading research and more time DOING research, you know it IS possible!

Pierre: Then you're saying every single report is wrong?!

Marie: I’m saying there’s a possibility they are!

Pierre: You must be smarter than I am! And the other experts that agree with me!

Marie: I don’t know about the other experts, but I’m definitely smarter than you are!

Ash: Sudowoodo is a Rock-type?!

Misty: That’s pretty hard to believe. Rock-type Pokémon are usually rocky and gravely like Geodude, Graveler, Golem and Onix.

Ash: Sudowoodo is more like...

Misty: More like a Grass-type Pokémon. I can’t believe it’s a Rock-type.

Marie: I agree with you, Misty. I can’t believe it either. But all the researchers say Sudowoodo is a Rock-type.

Pierre: We already have the answers!

Marie: You can believe the books, but I think finding answers first hand is always the best!

Brock: Exactly right! Yours is the first hand I've held in a long time and I can tell you from personal experience you can't find this in a book! Maybe you and I can do some research in the field of love?

Misty: [pulls Brock by his ear] In that field, your position is left out.

Marie: There have been reports of Sudowoodo looking like oak trees, plum trees and cherry trees. They even change color like real trees.

Ash: Wow. [fantasizes several Sudowoodo] They must be Grass-types.

Pierre: [looking up] Sudowoodo gather branches to look like trees.

[the leaves fall down from the branches]

Ash: Maybe not. 

Ash: Did Sudowoodo use Dig?

Marie: Maybe that means it’s a Ground-type.

[Suddenly, a net comes up out of the hole, revealing Sudowoodo]

Ash: What’s going on here?!

Jessie: Prepare for trouble, because we’re in cahoots.

James: And make it trouble, right down to our roots.

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: And James!

Jessie: Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light.

James: Surrender now or prepare to fight, fight, fight.

Meowth: [bursts out of a stump] That’s right!

Misty: They’re gone!

Ash: And took Sudowoodo with them!

Marie: We’ll never find it again!

Brock: Don't worry, Marie, we'll find that Sudowoodo and if we don't I'll leave my friends and dedicate myself to working with you 24/7 every minute of the day and night... [gets hit by Misty’s mallet]

Misty: How about part time.

Fisherman: [suspiciously] Why isn’t it saying anything?

Meowth: Maybe it doesn’t want to talk to strangers.

Fisherman: Well, whatever it is, it doesn’t look too healthy.
