(With two badges in Mew's hand, she along with her Pokemon friends, Pikachu and Eevee, human friends Misty and Brock continue on their journey.)
(Mew turns to Misty and asks.)
Mew: "So Misty, you said that we're going to Vermilion City, right?"
Misty: "That's right. It's got a luxury cruise ship, and I'm dying to see it."
(Misty happily says.)
Mew: "Sounds exciting, but I'm also hoping to get another gym to have another battle."
(Mew says.)
Brock: "I've heard that there's a really great gym in Vermilion."
(Brock says.)
Mew: "Really?"
(Mew asks.)
Misty: "Yeah. I heard that he's a tough trainer who specializes in Electric types."
(Misty says.)
Mew: "Sounds good to me, that means My Pokemon and I could do some training."
(Mew says.)
Misty: "Best to be careful, there are a lot of tough trainers here."
(Misty says.)
Mew: "We will,"
(Mew says.)
[Sometime later...]
(Mew and her friends have already come across a few trainers who want to battle.)
(Mew accepts the challenge and is able to defeat them all with her Pokemon.)
(Now, she is battling another trainer with a Rattata.)
(She is battling with her Pidgeotto.)
(Mew calls out.)
Mew: "Pidgeotto, finish it!"
(Pidgeotto then finishes the final attack on Rattata and knocks it out.)
The trainer: "Oh! Rattata!"
(The trainer says, seeing his Pokemon defeated.)
(Brock turns to Misty.)
Brock: "Talk about a winning steak."
Misty: "Yeah. That's her tenth win."
(Misty replies.)
(The trainer walks to Mew and says.)
The trainer: "You're a really great Pokemon trainer."
(The two then shake hands for having a great battle.)
Mew: "Thanks. You're a good trainer yourself."
(Mew says.)
The trainer: "Thanks. I bet you could even beat A.J.!"
(The trainer says.)
Mew: "A.J.?"
(Mew says, confused.)
The trainer: "Yeah! He lives over there! A.J. trains savage Pokemon, he owns his own gym. He's never lost a single match."
(The trainer replies.)
(Then points towards the woods.)
Mew: "Hmm, sounds interesting. I like to check it out."
(Mew says with glee.)
[Soon...]
(The gang arrives at A.J's gym.)
(It has a big tent with a semi circle roof with yellow and pink stripes and behind a wooden.)
(It has a sign that reads A.J.'s Gym Undefeated! Wins: 98. Lose: 0. Note: Gym not Sanctioned by Pokemon League.)
Misty: "Hmm, so this gym is not involved with the Pokemon League."
(Misty says.)
Mew: "Guess not. He must be a strong trainer to have 98 wins and no losses."
(Mew replies.)
[Suddenly...]
(A boy's voice sternly asks.)
A boy: "Are you my next victim?"
(The group turns their heads to see a boy that has spiky green, black and white shiny hair.)
(He wears a black and red short, blue shorts, orange shoes, and is holding black backpack.)
Mew: "Um, I'm guessing you're A.J the wild Pokemon trainer?"
(Mew asks.)
A.J: "Humph! That's my job. But beating' chumps like you is my hobby. Ready to lose."
(A.J. says.)
[Just then...]
(the gate to the gym opens to reveal the large tent, and in front of the tent is a battlefield.)
Mew: "Wow!"
(Mew says, amazed.)
Misty: "Now THIS is not too shabby at all."
(Misty says.)
(A.J. then removes his backpack and places it on the ground.)
(Then a Butterfree comes out and takes the backpack away.)
Mew: "What's in the backpack?"
(Mew asks.)
A.J: "The wild Pokemon that I just caught. There's a whole bunch more in the tent, and then some."
(A.J. says.)
(Interested, Mew asks.)
Mew: "Hey! Can I see them after the match?"
A.J: "If you want. So, which Pokemon are you gonna choose for my ninety-ninth win?"
(A.J. answers with confidence.)
Mew: "Hmm, ready to battle and confidence. I like your style. My Pokemon and I are ready to battle."
(Mew says.)
A.J: "Like your guts, kid. But you're not playing in the Pokemon Little League anymore!"
(He then cracks a whip close to Mew causing her to jump in surprise.)
A.J: "After I win one-hundred matches, I'll start competing for badges!"
(A.J. says.)
Brock: "That means he's only two wins away."
(Brock says.)
Misty: "And he'll be extra psyched to win!"
(Misty adds.)
Mew: "I can tell you're a tough trainer and skillful as well. I'm going to have fun battling you."
(Mew says.)
A.J: "Thinking the same way."
(A.J. says.)
(Then throws his Pokeball.)
(He then throws his Pokeball.)
A.J: "Sandshrew, go!"
(Coming out of the Pokeball is the Ground type Mouse Pokemon, Sandshrew.)
Mew: "Hmm, a Sandshrew, huh. This one looks pretty tough."
(Mew says.)
Brock: "Let's be careful now, Mew."
(Brock says.)
Misty: "Remember, Sandshrew's a ground type, so Pikachu's electricity is no good against it."
(Misty says.)
(Mew then says.)
Mew: "Don't worry, I have an idea on which Pokemon to use."
(Then throws her Pokeball.)
Mew: "Go Poliwhirl!"
(Then Poliwhirl comes out of the Pokeball.)
(A.J. cracks the whip again and says.)
A.J: "Sandshrew, go!"
(Sandshrew then begins the battle.)
Mew: "Poliwhirl, use Water Gun!"
(Mew calls out.)
(Poliwhirl begins to use Water Gun.)
Brock: "That's good thinking, Water Pokemon has the advantage."
(Brock says.)
[Suddenly...]
(Sandshrew rolls into a ball and spins around at the Water Gun, repealing the attack.)
(Then Sandshrew strikes at Poliwhirl really hard.)
(Then falls to the ground.)
Mew: "Poliwhirl,"
(Mew says, shocked.)
A.J: "Finish it,"
(A.J. says.)
Mew: "Uh oh! Poliwhirl, return!"
(Mew says, returning to its Pokeball.)
(Then calls out.)
Mew: "Pidgeotto!"
(Pidgeotto enters the field.)
(Mew calls out.)
Mew: "Okay Pidgeotto, let's do this."
A.J: "That's what you think, kid! Now watch and weep!"
(A.J. says.)
(Mew calls out.)
Mew: "Pidgeotto, Whirlwind."
(A.J cracks his whip and Sandshrew digs into the ground, surprising Mew and Pidgeotto.)
Brock: "That Sandshrew is pretty well trained."
(Brock says.)
Misty: "He controls it with the crack of his whip, like a Pokemon tamer."
(Misty says.)
[Suddenly...]
(Sandshrew bursts out of the ground and rolls into a ball.)
(Then slams Pidgeotto to the ground.)
(Then it's knocked out.)
Mew: "Pidgeotto."
(Mew says, shocked.)
Brock: "I guess that's the end of the battle."
(Brock says.)
Misty: "That A.J. is pretty strong."
(Misty replies.)
(Mew simply smiles and brings out her Pokeball.)
Mew: "Pidgeotto, return."
(Then returns it to the Pokeball.)
(Then says.)
Mew: "That was a great battle, you did your best."
(While the match is over, Team Rocket is spying on them and sees how tough Sandshrew is.)
(They're secretly hiding in the trees with binoculars.)
Jessie: "That Sandshrew is very tempting."
(Jessie says.)
James: "We should grab it."
(James says.)
Meowth: "Hm. Looks fat. You two gotta carry it."
(Meowth says.)
Jessie: "The outfit that trainer is wearing is positively hideous!"
(Jessie says.)
(Then James says.)
James: "That shirt looks like it's from a century or two ago. He'd fit right in perfectly at a museum."
Meowth: "At least he doesn't look like he's trick-or-treating like you do."
(Meowth says.)
(James bonks Meowth on the head and sends him falling from the tree.)
Meowth: "MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOWTH!"
(Meowth screams before he hits the ground.)
(Then his binoculars land in his mouth.)
(Back at the battlefield, the sign changes from 98 Wins to 99 Wins.)
(Then A.J. announces.)
A.J: "And that makes victory number ninety-nine!"
Mew: "That was a great battle A.J. I'm surprised to see that Water Gun has no effect on Sandshrew."
(Mew says.)
A.J: "Through rigorous training."
(A.J. says.)
(Mew and her friends are confused.)
[Soon...]
(everyone walks inside the tent and are surprised to see the gym is like a large fitness center.)
(It has weights, large balls that some Rattata are rolling on.)
(There's even ramps along with a pole with a flaming pole loop.)
(There's even a pool with a high dive.)
(What catches their attention is to see all of A.J's Pokemon are wearing a strange harvest on their body.)
(What's more, a Beedrill and a Butterfree are battling, and the other Pokemon uses the equipment for training.)
Mew: "This is your gym?"
(Mew asks, shocked.)
Misty: "It's huge,"
(Misty says.)
(The group turns their heads to see that A.J's Sandshrew is now wearing the same harness and is climbing the ladder on the dive board.)
Mew: "Uh, what's Sandshrew doing?"
(Mew asks.)
(Sandshrew dives off the diving board and splashes in the water.)
(Then flies out of the water and spins itself dry.)
(Then stops once it's tried.)
Misty: "Wow! I'm impressed."
(Misty replies.)
Mew: "What's that thing it's wearing."
(Mew asks.)
A.J: "It's a strength intensifier."
(A.J. says.)
Brock: "Who invented that thing?"
(Brock asks.)
A.J: "I did. It's my own secret weapon for unleashing a Pokemon's powers."
(A.J. says.)
(Then turns to Sandshrew.)
A.J: "Sandshrew, back in the pool!"
(Sandshrew then hurries to the diving board.)
Mew: "Is it really okay to let it give it into the pool?"
(Mew asks.)
A.J: "Just watch,"
(A.J. says.)
(Then calls out.)
A.J: "Sandshrew, dive!"
(Sandshrew then dives to the pool in a spectacular fashion.)
Misty: "Nice dive!"
(Misty says.)
(Sandshrew comes out of the pool and spins into a ball.)
(Then stands on its two feet.)
A.J: "Good work!"
(A.J. says.)
Brock: "The water doesn't weaken your Sandshrew?"
(Brock asks.)
A.J: "You're looking at the only Sandshrew in the world strong enough to withstand water!"
(A.J. says.)
(Then tells Sandshrew.)
A.J: "Sandshrew! Pick up your pacing!"
(Sandshrew rolls into the ball and three Rattata are passing Sandshrew to one another.)
Mew: "Wow! So that's why Water gun didn't affect Sandshrew."
(Mew says.)
A.J: "That's right,"
(A.J. says.)
(Mew then asks.)
Mew: "So then, why are you so tough on Sandshrew?"
A.J: "I have to be tough, but I ask no more of Sandshrew then I do of myself. The very best."
(A.J. says.)
Mew: "But you aren't nearly as tough on any of your other Pokemon."
(Mew replies.)
(A.J. says.)
A.J: "That's because Sandshrew is the very first Pokemon I ever caught. I will never forget that morning. We promised to do whatever it took to become the best Pokemon and trainer of all time. Nothing would stop us from reaching our dream. No matter how difficult our path. Enduring fierce storms and raging winds. We sacrificed everything to achieve our dream and it was worth it. We're an unbeatable team!"
Mew: "Guess we have our own way of training. I guess my idea of training is kind of different than what you're doing."
(Mew says.)
(Then turns to Brock.)
A.J: "What do you think?"
(Brock turns to A.J and says.)
Brock: "Your Pokemon are all in great shape. What kind of Pokemon food do you give them?"
A.J: "My own recipe. Come on, I'll show you!"
(A.J. says.)
(A.J. opens a cabinet to reveal different jars of Pokemon food.)
(Each one has a picture of a Pokemon.)
A.J: "To get the results I want, I have to carefully monitor the Pokemon diets. Of course, the recipe is secret."
(A.J. says.)
Brock: "Of course. You know, I mix my own food, too…"
(Brock says.)
(Mew turns her head to see Sandshrew lifting two dumbbells.)
(Pikachu and Eevee are simply watching it work out, but the dumbbells are too strong for them.)
