(Once again, Mew continues her journey of being a Pokemon trainer.)
(With her friends, Pikachu, Eevee, Brock, and Misty, Mew's next adventure is over the horizon.)
(In fact, they are looking over the horizon of the cliff to see the ocean blue and rocks.)
Mew: "Wow! Look at those rocks!"
(Mew says, amazed.)
Pikachu: "Pi" (Whoa)
(Pikachu says, amazed.)
Eevee: "Eev," (Wow.)
(Eevee replies.)
(The wave crashes into the rocks below as the group look down in worry.)
Mew: "That's a long drop!"
(Mew says, worried.)
Misty: "Fall from here and the ball game's over!"
(Misty replies.)
(Brock looks at the map as he says.)
Brock: The map says that this bridge leads right to Lavender Town, and that will help get us to Saffron City."
Mew: "And to our next challenge at the Saffron Gym."
(Mew says.)
(Mew then turns her head to notice something over yonder.)
Mew: "What are those?"
Misty: "They look like Butterfree!"
(Misty says.)
Brock: "The Butterfree are celebrating their season of love."
(Brock says.)
Misty: "Love?"
(Misty says, confused.)
Brock: "Yeah. The season of love is when Butterfree lay their eggs, the Butterfree find mates and then lay their eggs across the sea."
(Brock says.)
Mew: "I remember the Butterfree at my home town told me about it. They do it once a year and it happens all over the world. It's very sweet, finding a mate you'll be with for life and start a family."
(Mew says.)
Brock: "That's right,"
(Brock says.)
Misty: "How cute!"
(Misty comments.)
(Mew soon realizes.)
Mew: "You mean, my Butterfree go, too?"
Brock: "If you don't let it cross the sea, it will never have babies,"
(Brock says.)
(Mew brings out her Pokeball that has her Butterfree in it.)
Mew "Babies?"
(Wanting to take part in the Butterfree's Season of Love, Mew and the others decide to check it out.)
(Now, they are able to get a hot air balloon and plan to take to the sky.)
Misty: "I'm surprised that there was a hot air balloon for rent out here."
(Misty says.)
Brock: "We'll probably see lots of other balloons once we get up into the air."
(Brock says.)
(Soon, everyone is in the basket.)
Brock: "Hold on, everyone!"
(Brock says, and pulls the lever.)
(Soon, the balloon begins to lift itself off the ground and gain altitude.)
(Amazed, Mew says.)
Mew: "What a view!"
(Soon Pikachu notices something.)
Pikachu: "Chu! Chu!" (Look! Look!)
Eevee: "Eevee Eevee." (Yeah, look over there!)
(Eevee adds.)
[Soon...]
(the group sees the flock of Butterfree.)
Misty: "Look, there they are!"
(Misty says.)
Brock: "Let's go!"
(Brock says, and pulls the lever.)
(Soon, the group uses the balloon to get closer, and see the Butterfree are pairing up.)
Misty: "Wow! All the Butterfree are pairing up into couples!"
(Misty says.)
(Brock turns to Mew.)
Brock: "Okay, Mew.
(Mew brings out her Butterfree's Pokeball.)
Mew: "Oh, right!"
(She throws her Pokeball and Butterfree comes out.)
(Then flies off to the flock.)
Mew: "Go out there and find your mate!"
(Mew calls out.)
Misty: "Good luck, Butterfree!"
(Misty says.)
(Butterfree flies around to find his mate.)
(However, he isn't able to find one, which makes everyone surprised.)
Brock: "Maybe none of those Butterfree is its type."
(Brock says.)
Misty: "What do you mean by 'it's type', Brock? The Butterfree all look the same to me."
(Misty says, confused.)
Mew: "Actually, many of the Butterfree are kind of different. Wild Butterfree and those are raised by trainers are different in their way."
(Mew says.)
Brock: "Right, when it comes to Butterfree, some of them must fly better than others, or maybe they have slightly different patterns, I guess."
(Brock says.)
(Soon, everyone hears sounds of Pokeballs opening, and turn to see a lot of hot air balloons.)
Misty: "Look at all the balloons!"
(Misty says.)
Brock: "They're all Butterfree trainers! They must come at this time every year to release their Butterfree."
(Brock says.)
(Just then a balloon with a female trainer close by holds out her Pokeball.)
female trainer: "You just go find yourself a nice mate, Butterfree. Go!"
(The trainer throws her Pokeball and her Butterfree is released.)
(Seeing the trainer, Brock is entranced by her looks.)
(Misty groans at the sight of Brock.)
Misty: "Oh no, not this again."
(Soon, Mew's Butterfree returns.)
Mew: "Hey Butterfree, no luck yet?"
(Mew asks.)
(Butterfree lowers his head, a little disappointed.)
Mew: "Don't worry, you'll find a mate sooner or later."
(Mew says.)
[Just then...]
(Brock rushes over to Butterfree.)
Brock: "Listen up, Butterfree! See that Butterfree that girl just released?"
(Brock points to the girl trainer's Butterfree.)
Brock: "That one! That one right there, pick that one!"
Butterfree: "Freeh?" (But why?)
(Butterfree asks, confused.)
Brock: "Don't you get it? If two Butterfree fall in love, their trainers can meet, and they can fall in love, too!"
(Brock shouts.)
(Misty then bonks Brock hard on the head.)
Misty: "Don't butt in to Pokemon love affairs!"
Mew: "That's true, but Misty, if Butterfree doesn't find a mate, it won't ever have babies."
(Mew says.)
(Butterfree nods his head.)
Misty: "Go ahead, then,"
(Misty says.)
(Then Butterfree flies to the swarm again.)
Misty: "Go get 'em, Butterfree! The perfect mate for you's gotta be out there somewhere!"
(Misty calls out.)
(Butterfree looks around to find a mate.)
(He looks around for this mate.)
(He soon notices a Pink female Butterfree and falls instantly in love with her.)
(Then flies over to her.)
Misty: "It looks like Butterfree really found someone it likes!"
(Misty says.)
Brock: "Yeah, love at first sight with that pink one."
(Brock says.)
[Soon...]
(Butterfree begins to perform a strange dance.)
Mew: "Hmm, looks like my Butterfree is performing the Courtship dance."
(Mew says.)
Misty: "Courtship dance?!"
(Misty says, confused.)
Brock: "It's Butterfree's way of saying 'I really like you. I wanna be your Butterfree.'
(Brock clarifies.)
Misty: "Aw, that's so romantic."
(Misty says.)
Brock: "If it's successful, the other Butterfree does a dance, too."
(Brock says.)
Mew: "Like what humans do when they find a mate, I think Gary calls it a 'marriage proposal'"
(Mew replies.)
Brock: "Exactly,"
(Brock says.)
Misty: "It's doing something."
(Misty says.)
(The pink Butterfree simply turns her head and flies upward.)
(Mew's Butterfree flies after it.)
(Mew and her friends are confused and well, concerned for Mew's Butterfree.)
(When Butterfree comes close, the pink one slaps him with her wing, making Butterfree tear up, shocking everyone.)
(Then she flies away.)
Brock: "Poor Butterfree got shot down."
(Brock says.)
Misty: "What?! That's so mean! That isn't fair!"
(Misty says.)
Mew: "Poor Butterfree,"
(Mew sadly says.)
(Feeling brokenhearted, Butterfree flies away.)
Mew: "Butterfree! Where are you going?!"
(Mew calls out.)
(But Butterfree continues to fly down into the woods as Mew calls out to him.)
Mew: "Butterfree!"
Brock: "Shot down in its prime…"
(Brock sadly says.)
Pikachu: "Pikachu.." (The poor guy..)
(Pikachu says.)
Eevee: "Eevee," (You said it.)
(Eevee replies.)
(The group has the balloon land on the ground, and soon search for Butterfree.)
(Mew calls out.)
Mew: "Butterfree! Hey, Butterfree!"
Misty: "Butterfree!"
(Misty calls out.)
Pikachu: "Pikachu!" (Butterfree!)
(Pikachu calls out.)
Eevee: "Eevee!" (Butterfree!)
(Eevee calls out.)
(The group continues to search until they find his wing being the tree.)
Mew: "It's Butterfree!"
(Mew says, and everyone rushes over to him.)
(Mew kneels to Butterfree and asks.)
Mew: "Hey, there, Butterfree. Are you okay?"
(Butterfree lowers his head in reply.)
(Mew understands the answer.)
Mew: "Not good, huh."
Brock: "It was rejected by someone it loved. That's a terrible shock. Believe me, it's a terrible feeling. I could write a book about the secrets of love and heartache!"
(Brock says.)
Misty: "I guess that book would be your autobiography?"
(Misty says, shrugging her shoulders.)
(Pikachu walks over and says.)
Pikachu: "Pikachu." (Hey, tell me what happened.)
Butterfree: "Freeh," (She rejected me.)
(Butterfree sadly answers.)
Pikachu: "Pika. Pika Chu Pika," (Bummer. At least you tried, just don't give up)
(Pikachu says.)
Eevee: "Eevee. Eev Eev Ve Eevee." (Yeah. You shouldn't give up.)
Butterfree: "Freeh," (I'm not good enough for her...)
(Butterfree sadly says.)
(Mew and the others watch as Pikachu and Eevee talk to him.)
Mew: "I just don't understand it. My Butterfree's great. Why would any other Butterfree reject it?"
(Mew wonders.)
(Then Mew has an idea.)
Mew: "Hey Butterfree, maybe you just have to show off your strength and let the others see how great you are. Show how powerful your Tackle is, or how you can use Stun Spore!"
Misty: "That's right, Butterfree! You've got to be assertive!"
(Misty says.)
(Butterfree looks up.)
(Then Misty says.)
Misty: "Love is all about attacking your opponent first! Get in a quick punch and surprise them, then, while they're still weak, take the lead and you'll beat 'em, hands down! Trust me, I know! That's the best way to win!"
Brock: "You mean it?"
(Brock says, confused.)
Misty: "Sure do! That's love!"
(Misty says.)
(Brock ruffles his head in frustration and shouts.)
Brock: "I wish I had known that sooner!"
Mew: "Let's give it another try!"
(Mew says.)
(But Brock says.)
Brock: "Hold it!"
Mew: "What's up, Brock?"
(Mew asks.)
(Brock rushes to Butterfree and says.)
Brock: "A new look might help!"
(Brock soon ties a yellow scarf around Butterfree's neck.)
Butterfree: "Freeh," (Cool.)
(Butterfree replies.)
Misty: "Yeah, that looks great!"
(Misty says.)
Mew: "Now you're ready to give it another go."
(Mew says.)
(Butterfree feels confident about his new look and his friends support.)
(The group rushes to the sky.)
(Having her binoculars, Mew looks around.)
Mew: "We gotta find it! Where did that pink Butterfree go?"
Misty: "This is important to you, isn't it?"
(Misty says.)
Mew: "Because it's important to Butterfree. He loves her and so I'm going to help him win her heart. I raised Butterfree and I'm going to help him show her that he's good enough."
(Mew says.)
Misty: "It looks like the trainer is just as passionate as the Butterfree."
(Misty says.)
