(After Bulbasaur and Oddish join their team, Mew and her friends continue to travel to find Vermilion City, but their travel plans have a bit of a snag.)
(Mew looks around as she says.)
Mew: "Just Spearow. Spearow. And more Spearow."
Misty: "Well, that's the least of our worries, isn't it?"
(Misty comments.)
Mew: "That's true. Once again, we got lost."
(Mew says.)
Misty: "I just can't go one step further."
(Misty says, tired.)
(Then shouts.)
Misty: "We've been looking for Vermilion City for ten whole days!"
(Suddenly, Brock notices something.)
Brock: "Uh, there's a bug right on your…"
(Misty screams and panics.)
Misty: "Get it away!"
(Then jumps on Mew's back.)
(Brock then picks up something.)
Brock: "It was just a piece of grass."
(Misty is not pleased to hear it as Brock laughs.)
(Then kicks Brock in the face, making him fall to the ground.)
(Misty screams in agony.)
Misty: "I'm going crazy! Where are we?!"
(Mew looks at the map and says.)
Mew: "According to this, we're right in the middle of nowhere."
(Then shows it to the other as she points to a specific location.)
Mew: "But it looks like Route 24 leads to Vermilion City."
Misty: "Does this trail take us to Route 24?"
(Misty asks, excited.)
Mew: "According to my calculations, it does, And it said there's a Pokemon Center close by."
(Mew says.)
Misty: "All right! Then let's get this show on the road!"
(Misty happily says.)
(Misty begins to walk down the trail until she sees a shadowy figure.)
(She looks up to see a large figure.)
(Misty calls out.)
Misty: "Hey Mew, take a look at this thing!"
Mew: "It looks like some kind of giant Pokemon!"
(Mew says.)
(Pikachu and Eevee are confused.)
(The group looks to see a large rock.)
(On the rock is a bipedal, reptilian Pokémon with a primarily orange body and blue eyes.)
(Its underside from the chest down and the soles of its feet are cream-colored.)
(It has two small fangs visible in its upper jaw and two smaller fangs in its lower jaw.)
(A fire burns at the tip of its slender tail.)
Brock: "A Charmander,"
(Brock confirms.)
(Charmander then lets out a yawn, making the group fall over in disbelief.)
[Soon enough...]
(Mew brings out her Pokedex, and Dexter says.)
Dexter: "Charmander the Lizard Pokemon. A Fire Type. A flame burns on the tip of its tail from birth. It is said that a Charmander dies if its flame ever goes out."
Mew: "That sounds sad. It's strange that we found a Charmander all the way out here."
(Mew says.)
Misty: "Maybe so, but it looks like it's in bad shape."
(Misty says.)
Brock: "Yeah, catch it and we'll take it to a Pokemon Center for help."
(Brock says.)
Mew: "Good idea,"
(Mew says.)
(She then throws her Pokeball to catch Charmander.)
(The Pokeball spins and heads towards Charmander, but Charmander then whacks it with its tails and lands on the ground.)
(Confused, Mew says.)
Mew: "It looks pretty healthy to me. You think I should have Pikachu battle it first to weaken it and make it easier to catch?"
Misty: "Why don't you let me catch it? My water Pokemon would be stronger against Charmander."
(Misty suggests.)
(But Mew says.)
Mew: "Hold on a minute! Take a look at the flame on its tail."
(The group looks to see the tail flame is very low and Charmander is panting.)
Brock: "You're right. There's no way it can still have the strength to battle. Maybe you should try again, Mew."
(Brock says.)
Mew: "Okay,"
(Mew says, and throws the Pokeball again.)
(This time, it hits Charmander and it enters the Pokeball.)
(It shakes a little and then it opens, releasing Charmander.)
(Mew then catches the Pokeball.)
Brock: "Sure has a lot of spunk."
(Brock says.)
Mew: "A little too much if you ask me."
(Mew says.)
Misty: "I think this Charmander has an attitude problem."
(Misty replies.)
(Mew then turns to Pikachu and Eevee.)
Mew: "Hey guys, maybe you can talk to Charmander."
(Pikachu and Eevee nod their heads and climb on the rock.)
Pikachu: "Pikachu," (Hello)
(Pikachu says.)
(Then they both climb on the rock and sit next to Charmander.)
(Eevee asks.)
Eevee: "Eevee Eevee." (What's wrong Charmander?)
Charmander: "Char-man-der," (I'm weak and tired, but I need to stay here.)
(Charmander says.)
Pikachu: "Pika Pikachu?" (Why here? You don't look very good.)
(Pikachu says.)
Charmander: "Char Char-man-der," (Because I'm waiting for my trainer. He promised to come back for me.)
(Charmander answers.)
(Pikachu and Eevee turn to each other and nod their heads.)
(Then climbs down the rock to speak with their trainer.)
Mew: "So what's the story?"
(Mew asks.)
(Pikachu and Eevee then explain to Mew what Charmander has told them.)
Brock: "What did they say?"
(Brock asks.)
Mew: "They said that Charmander is waiting on that rock for its trainer to come and get it."
(Mew answers.)
Misty: "You mean it belongs to somebody?"
(Misty asks, confused.)
Brock: "If it's waiting for someone, I think we better leave it. It's probably best if its own trainer takes care of it."
(Brock says.)
Mew: "I hope its trainer comes back soon."
(Mew says, showing deep concern.)
(The group then begins to walk down the trail to continue their journey.)
(Mew stops and turns her head back to see Charmander on the rock.)
(Then continues to walk down the path.)
(Charmander looks at Mew and yet, still remains on the rock, waiting for its original trainer to return.)
(The group continues to walk on the train until they see a building.)
(Misty points out to it.)
Misty: "Hey, you guys! Look over there! It's the Pokemon Center!"
Mew: "The one on the map! Route 24 can't be too far!"
(Mew says.)
[Soon...]
(thunder clouds roll in and it begins to rain outside.)
(Pikachu soon gets a reaction to the rain.)
(Eevee even feels a speak of rain on its head.)
Mew: "Hurry!"
(Mew calls out.)
(Soon, everyone hurry down the trail to the Pokemon Center.)
(Back on the rock, Charmander is using a leaf to shelter itself from the rain.)
(Sadly, it's not enough and the tail flame is getting weaker, and it's getting cold and wet.)
(Back at the Pokemon Center, Misty walks to the table with some bowls of soup.)
(Misty says.)
Misty: "Here's some nice hot soup."
Mew: "Thanks, Misty,"
(Mew says, sounding a little sad.)
(Then gives another bowl to Brock.)
Misty: "Have some soup, Brock. Huh?"
(Misty notices that Brock is looking out the window to see the rain.)
Misty: "What's wrong?"
(Misty asks.)
Brock: "I wonder. Do you think anybody picked up that Charmander yet? What if its trainer left it there?"
(Brock says.)
Mew: "I'm worried about it too. I'm worried that Charmander might have been abandoned by its trainer."
(Mew sadly says.)
Misty: "I don't think Charmander would be waiting there for this long."
(Misty replies.)
Brock: "I don't either, Misty, it's trainer must have went and gotten it by now."
(Brock says.)
[Suddenly...]
(they soon hear laughter and turn to see a group of trainers.)
(There is this one trainer with blue hair, with sunglasses on his head, a white shirt with a brown vest, and a pile of Pokeballs next to him on the table.)
(One trainer says.)
One trainer: "Sure got a lot of em."
(A second trainer says.)
second trainer: "For sure!"
(The trainer with the blue hair says.)
trainer with the blue hair: "Just look at em! It's a pretty cool collection."
Another trainer: "Way cool!"
(Another trainer says.)
(A trainer wearing a red shirt says.)
trainer wearing a red shirt: "You're the man, Damian."
(The trainer wearing a blue vest says.)
trainer wearing a blue vest: "Yo! I thought you had a Charmander too."
Damian: "Yeah, I had one. But that puny thing was so weak, it couldn't even beat the weakest opponents!"
(The boy Damian says.)
(Hearing the conversation, Mew and her friends don't like it at all.)
Misty: "I don't like his attitude."
(Misty says.)
Brock: "Charmander may be weak against water Pokemon, but if their trainers work hard, they can be strong."
(Brock says.)
(Mew worriedly asks.)
Mew: "You don't think the Charmander he's talking about could be…"
(Suddenly, one of the trainers asks.)
Another trainer: "So what did you do with the Charmander?"
Damian: "Ah, I left it on some rock in the woods."
(Damian answers.)
(This makes Mew and the others shocked to hear what Damian is saying.)
(Then Damian says.)
Damian: "That thing is so stupid! No matter what I do to it, it keeps on following me! I finally got rid of it by promising I'd come back for it. It fell for it! It's probably still there waiting for me!"
(Then Damian and the other trainers begin laughing.)
(Soon enough, Mew and her friends know what really happened.)
Mew: "He's the one who abandoned Charmander!"
(Mew angrily says.)
Misty: "Yeah, and it's still waiting for him on that rock."
(Misty says.)
[Suddenly...]
(Brock gets up from the table.)
Mew: "Brock,"
(Mew says, confused.)
(Then Brock walks towards the trainers.)
(One of the trainers says.)
the trainers: "I bet it's still up there, wagging its tail."
other trainer: "It'll probably wag it so long, it'll put the flame out."
(The other trainer says.)
Damian: "Yeah, for sure!"
(Damian says and begins laughing.)
(But is cut off when Brock grabs him by his shirt and demands.)
Brock: "Go and get it!"
Damian: "Huh?"
(Damian says, confused.)
Brock: "That Charmander is still waiting for you! Go and get it, now!"
(Brock says.)
Damian: "Why should I?"
(Damian asks, doesn't seem to care.)
Brock: "You lied to your Pokemon and said you'd be back, now it's waiting out there in the rain for you! And if it's tail flame goes out, it'll die!"
(Brock angrily says.)
Damian: "Oy! What I do is none of your business!"
(Damian angrily says.)
(Mew angrily walks up and says.)
Mew: "Do as he says!"
Damian: "What'd you say, nerd?"
(Damian demands.)
Mew: "You heard what I said. And you want to be a Pokemon trainer."
(Mew angrily says.)
Misty: "You're disgusting!"
(Misty says.)
Pikachu: "Pika Pika! (You rotten trainer!)
(Pikachu angrily says.)
Eevee: "Eevee Eevee." (You go get Charmander or else!)
(Eevee angrily adds.)
(Damian picks up his Pokeball.)
Damian: "You wanna fight with me?"
other trainer: "You better not mess with Damian."
(The other trainer says.)
(Mew then picks up Damian by the shirt and lifts him in the air, shocking everyone in the room.)
Mew: "I don't need to do a Pokemon battle to take care of you."
(Mew angrily says.)
(Suddenly Nurse Joy says.)
Nurse Joy: "Wait, you need to calm down. I appreciate that you won't let Pokemon be used for personal quarrel, but creating your own violence isn't the answer. It will only cause problems."
(Mew takes a deep breath and places Damian back on the ground.)
(Damian scoffs it off and says.)
Damian: "Yeah. Well, tell them they're the ones what started it."
(Then he and his friends leave the scene.)
(Nurse Joy then turns to Mew and her friends.)
Nurse Joy: "I think you'd be better off not to get mixed up with them. They have a very bad reputation."
Misty: "More than she thinks."
(Misty mutters.)
Brock: "Thanks for the advice."
(Brock says.)
(Nurse Joy laughs and walks away.)
(Brock smiles as his cheeks blush.)
Brock: "She sure is pretty. I've never seen anyone as pretty as her."
Misty: "What are you talking about? She looks just like all the other Joys."
(Confused, Misty asks.)
Mew: "Yeah, it's a Joyful world."
(Mew comments.)
(Then shakes Brock's shoulder.)
Mew: "All right, snap out of it!"
(That snaps Brock out of it.)
Misty: "Oh, quit spacing out! What about Charmander?"
(Misty says.)
(Brock gains back his focus and says.)
Brock: "That's right! We've got to help it!"
(Mew and her friends put on their rain jackets and hurry out into the rain to rescue the fire Pokemon in distress.)
Misty: "This is dangerous, going out in a storm like this to help a Pokemon! What if we all catch pneumonia?"
(Misty says.)
Mew: "The storm may be bad, but you know the reason why we must do it."
(Mew says.)
Misty: "We've gotta help a Pokemon in need!"
(Misty says, and winks.)
