“It looks
like you want to prove you have skills somehow, right?
Ash-“That’s
exactly what I want to prove.”
[gets
admitted to take the Pokémon League admissions exam]
[Brock,
Misty and Ash see Nurse Joy at the school and wonder what she’s doing there!]
Nurse Joy- “I
came here for the exam because my work keeps me too busy to travel very much.
It’s perfect for people whose age or health keep them from traveling around.
And it’s also nice for people like me who can’t ever seem to get away from
work."
[Later]
James- “I
want to live my dream instead of my…my reality.”
Teacher-[Slide
show presentation begins]- “Identify these Pokémon….by their shape/flame,
swirl, etc…
Jesse- “These
questions won’t make you a Pokémon master!”
Teacher- “For
your information, young lady, a Pokémon master must understand all aspects of
their Pokémon’s life in order to achieve oneness with their Pokémon”
Jesse- “Uhh,
You’re not making any sense at all.”
[Leaves
angrily, slamming the door]
[Later]
---Ash gets
lowest score, along with Jesse and James
[Embarassed]
Ash-“Pokemon
isn’t about Tests it’s about Battles!”
[Battles with
Teacher and wins]
[James gets
expelled for using two Pokémon]—“I never play by the [rules]”
Jesse-“ Uhh,
He failed again..”
Meowth to
Jesse- “Don’t think of it as Failing, think of it as Not Succeeding.”
James
(crouching in the corner) “I’m such a Loser”
Team rocket blasts
off—interference with everyone’s test scores—Ash can take the test again, but he
says he is better off getting the badges himself on his own.
Misty- “You’ve
proved you are a great battler, so maybe that’s what the test was there to show
you.”
Narrator “Many
roads lead to the Pokémon league. Ash’s chosen path is to win all 8 gym badges,
only then can he continue on to reaching the ultimate goal: becoming a Pokémon
master.”
[Cue song]
“I want to
be the best, that ever was, to beat all the rest, yeah that’s my cause…”
