Melanie: "Is everyone feeling okay?"
(Melanie asks.)
Mew: "I just had the wind knocked out of me."
(Mew answers.)
Bulbasaur: "Bulbasaur." (I'm just fine.)
(Bulbasaur answers.)
Mew: "This village is well protected with Bulbasaur here."
(Mew says.)
(Melanie then turns to Mew.)
Melanie: "Mew, don't you think that Bulbasaur would make an excellent addition to your team?"
Mew: "I'm sure he will,"
(Mew happily says.)
(Then Melanie says.)
Melanie: "I think Bulbasaur should go with you."
(Mew becomes confused to hear it.)
(Melanie explains.)
Melanie: "Bulbasaur stayed here to protect the weaker Pokemon, but this village is too small, the bulb on its back can't grow, it needs to go out into the world now. And I know you'll take good care of it. Please do me this favor. Take Bulbasaur with you on your journey, he'll be a good companion."
Misty: "But what will happen to the village without Bulbasaur?
(Misty asks.)
Brock: "Yeah. Who's going to protect you?"
(Brock adds.)
Melanie: "It's true that Bulbasaur has done a great job, maybe too great a job. You see, these Pokemon shouldn't remain in this village forever and ever. After they recover, the Pokemon are supposed to leave, but it's too safe here, so none of them wants to go away. They don't want to return to the outside world."
(Melanie says.)
(Oddish nods its head.)
Melanie: "But I think it's important that all of them return to the wild, that's where Pokemon belong. And maybe, someday, they'll find good trainers like all of you. Of course, taking care of sick Pokemon will always be my mission, but I know that my job isn't finished until they return where they came from. So it's the day a Pokemon leaves that is the most rewarding to me."
(Melanie adds.)
Brock: "Melanie, I,"
(Brock sadly speaks up.)
(But Melanie says.)
Melanie: "So, you see, it's time for Bulbasaur to leave here. Please take it with you. It won't be a burden, I promise. Bulbasaur still has a lot of growing to do. I want it to be in a place where I can be sure it can grow strong and happy. I'm sure that place is with you, Mew."
Mew: "Well, if you really want me to."
(Mew says.)
Bulbasaur: "Bulbasaur." (I will, but first she needs to battle me.)
(Bulbasaur says.)
(Hearing that makes Mew and Melanie chuckle.)
Misty: "What did it say?"
(Misty asks.)
Mew: "Bulbasaur wants me to have a battle with him, first. Right Bulbasaur?"
(Mew translates.)
Bulbasaur: "Bulbasaur," (That's right.)
(Bulbasaur answers.)
(Soon, Mew and Pikachu are standing on one side while Bulbasaur stands on the other side.)
Mew: "Alright Pikachu, let's go!"
(Mew says.)
(With that, Pikachu charges.)
(Bulbasaur then uses its Vine Whip, but Pikachu quickly dodge.)
(Then Bulbasaur tackles him.)
Mew: "Pikachu!"
(Mew shouts.)
(Then Mew says.)
Mew: "Use tackle too!"
(Pikachu then tackles Bulbasaur.)
[Suddenly...]
(Bulbasaur tackles Pikachu again.)
(Then it uses a Vine Whip to tie Pikachu.)
(Then slams him to the ground.)
Mew: "That is one strong Bulbasaur."
(Mew says.)
Mew: "And Bulbasaur's strongest move.
(Then calls out.)
Mew: "Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
(Pikachu then uses his Thunderbolt.)
(Since the Vine Whip is on Pikachu, it travels to Bulbasaur, giving it a powerful shock.)
(It then falls to the side and faints.)
Mew: "Alright! Pokeball, go!"
(Mew calls out, throwing her Pokeball.)
(The Pokeball hits Bulbasaur and pulls him inside.)
(After a few wiggles, it clicks and stops moving.)
(Mew cheers.)
Mew: "We did it! We got Bulbasaur!"
Pikachu: "Pi Pikachu!" (Alright!)
(Pikachu calls out.)
Eevee: "Eevee!" (You did it!)
(Eevee happily says.)
(Melanie says with a sad smile.)
Melanie: "Bulbasaur, I'll miss you."
[Soon...]
(the heroes are preparing to leave the village.)
Melanie: "Have a safe trip,"
(Melanie says.)
Mew: "I promise to take good care of Bulbasaur,"
(Mew says.)
(Melanie pats Bulbasaur on the head.)
Melanie: "Bulbasaur, thank you for watching over us."
Bulbasaur: "Bulba." (My pleasure.)
(Bulbasaur says.)
(Just then, Oddish walks to Misty.)
Oddish: "Oddish," (Misty.)
(Misty looks down and asks.)
Misty: "What is it, Oddish?"
Melanie: "I think Oddish wants to travel with you Misty,"
(Melanie says.)
Misty: "With me?"
(Misty asks.)
(Oddish happily nods its head.)
Oddish: "Oddish" (Yes. I want to go with you)
(Misty smiles.)
Misty: "Well Oddish, I did say that you'll find a new trainer, I guess you chose me."
Oddish: "Oddish," (That's right.)
(Oddish says.)
(Misty takes out her Pokeball.)
Misty: "I promise to be a great trainer to you Oddish."
(Misty then taps her Pokeball on Oddish and it goes inside.)
(With a few shakes and a click, Oddish is now part of Misty's team.)
(Misty lets Oddish out of its Pokeball, and the Pokemon jumps into Misty's arms.)
Melanie: "I'll miss you Oddish."
(Melanie says.)
(Brock walks to Melanie.)
Brock: "Uh, Melanie? I've been thinking."
Melanie: "Yes?"
(Melanie says, turning to Brock.)
Brock: "Well, since Bulbasaur is leaving, I wouldn't mind staying and helping you out."
(Brock replies.)
Melanie: "It's very kind of you, but we'll be okay. I wouldn't want to keep you from all your wonderful adventures."
(Melanie says.)
Brock: "Oh. Yeah, I guess you're right."
(Brock says.)
(Soon, the group say their goodbyes to Melanie and the others.)
Mew: "Goodbye, Melanie!"
(Mew says.)
Melanie: "Goodbye! Good luck!"
(Melanie says, waving goodbye.)
Bulbasaur: "Bulbasaur!" (Bye Melanie!)
(Bulbasaur says.)
(Oddish says.)
Oddish: "Oddish." (Bye.)
Mew: "Don't worry Bulbasaur, Oddish, you'll see your friends again. As soon as the Pokemon feel better, they'll leave this village, too."
(Mew says.)
Bulbasaur: "Bulba." (I know)
(Bulbasaur says.)
Melanie: "Take good care of each other! Goodbye!"
(Melanie says.)
(Brock sighs to leave Melanie.)
(Misty walks to Brock and teases him again.)
Misty: "So, what did Melanie say when you said you loved her? Did you kiss her goodbye?"
(Brock quickly covers her mouth.)
Brock: "That's enough stupid questions! Would you please stop embarrassing me already?"
(Mew and the Pokemon simply watch as the two bicker a bit.)
(Soon, they continue to travel to find their way to Vermilion City and hope they won't have any more trouble trying to get there.)
