Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Team Rocket Trio Join The Race And Lara's Ponyta Evolved Into Rapidash



(At the race, Team Rocket arrives as the smoke clears.)

Jessie: Prepare for trouble.

James: Make it double.

(Mew angrily says.)

Mew: "It's Team Rocket!"

Jessie: To protect the world from devastation.

James: To unite all peoples within our nation.

Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love.

James: To extend our reach to the stars above.

Jessie: Jessie.

James: James.

Jessie: Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!

James: Surrender now, or prepare to fight!

Meowth: Meowth! That's right!

Misty: "We don't have time to play around with you three stooges!"

(Misty angrily says.)

(Jessie says in anger.)

Jessie: "How dare you compare us to…"

(Then calms down.)

Jessie: "I mean, come on up and let's have a word with you."

James: "Yes, come on up and bring your Ponyta with you,"

(James says.)

Meowth: "Then I can mess you up again!"

(Meowth says, and its charm shines.)

Mew: "Mess you up again?"

(Mew says, confused.)

(But soon realizes.)

Mew: "So, it was Team Rocket!"

Misty: "It was you who broke Lara's arm!"

(Misty angrily says.)

Mew: "And those accidents at the race were your doing!"

(Mew adds.)

Jessie: "Such a sad accident,"

(Jessie says, fake crying.)

(James adds.)

James: "We couldn't sleep after it happened!"

Mew: "Save your tears!"

(Mew angrily says.)

(Then turns her head.)

Mew: "Pikachu! Eevee! Squirtle! Little Ponyta! Get ready to rumble!"

(The Pokemon chow down on the food, but they stop and prepare to battle.)

(Suddenly, Jessie says.)

Jessie: "This race is over for you, losers! Arbok, Glare attack!"

(Arbok then uses his Glare attack on all four of Mew's Pokemon.)

(Then Misty calls out.)

Misty: "Let's go, Starmie!"

(Starmie flies to attack.)

(Then James calls out.)

James: "Weezing, Sludge attack, now!"

(Weezing flies off and fires the attack on Starmie.)

(It's a direct hit and blinds Starmie.)

Misty: "You okay, Starmie?"

(Misty asks, worried as Starmie shakes the sludge off.)

(Jessie and James hug each other.)

(Jessie says with glee.)

Jessie: "I think we're winning!"

James: "I think you're right!"

(James agrees.)

(Soon, Ponyta begins to rear up.)

(Mew calls ou.)

Mew: "Whoa! Settle down, Ponyta! Hey! Calm down!"

(Jessie calls out.)

Jessie: "Dario, now's your chance!"

Dario: "Thanks, Jessie!"

(Dario says.)

(Then turns to his Pokemon.)

Dario: "Go, Dodrio!"

(Dario has Dodrio continue the race.)

Mew: "Team Rocket's working for Dario!" So he's behind all this!"

(Mew says.)

(Ponyta is not pleased to hear it.)

(Suddenly Misty calls out.)

Misty: "Mew! Forget about them! You have to win this race for Lara Laramie! You go catch up with Dario, and we'll take care of Team Rocket!"

Mew: "But. But, I…"

(Mew says, reluctant about leaving her friends.)

(Pikachu and Eevee call out.)

Pikachu and Eevee: "Pika!Eevee! (Just go!)

(Just then, Jessie calls out.)

Jessie: "Arbok Stop Ponyta with your Poison Sting!"

(Arbok begins to dive in at Ponyta, but Ponyta begins to ignite flames all over its body.)

(Arbok begins to scream and panic, that's when Weezing jumps in to perform its attack.)

(James panics.)

James: "Oh no! Don't use the gas!"

(Weezing then performs the attack, and the fire climbs itself up to Team Rocket, causing an explosion and sends them flying.)

Jessie: "Things seemed to be going well for us this time!"

(Jessie screams.)

(James screams.)

James: "Maybe we'll have better luck next time!"

(Then Meowth screams.)

Meowth: "Now we're blasting off again!"

(Back at the stands, the picture appears on the screen to reveal Dario on his Dodrio.)

Announcer: "Now that we've got our picture back, and...Dodrio is still in the lead! Now let's take a look at what happened to the other Pokemon, and I can't see anything."

(Suddenly, something begins to arrive.)

Announcer: "Wait! Who's that? It's a giant burning flame!"

(Running towards the stadium and catching up to Dario and Dodrio are Ponyta and Mew.)

(Ponyta continues to run like never before.)

(Mew calls out.)

Mew: "Faster, Ponyta! We're way behind!"

Announcer: "It's Ponyta! And not far behind are Dario and Dodrio! I don't know how it happened, but it looks like this has become a four Pokemon race between Dario, Dodrio and Ponyta, with nothing left but a flat out run to the finish line! And Dodrio has entered the stadium still in the lead!"

(Dario laughs as the finish line is closing in.)

Dario: "I'm gonna win this one!"

(However, Mew and Ponyta are entering the stadium as well, as the crowd begins to cheer.)

(Dario turns his head to see Mew and Ponyta in shock.)

Dario: "Huh? How'd she get so close?"

Announcer: "Now Ponyta is closing in on Dodrio!"

Mew: "Okay, Ponyta, let's beat 'em!"

(Mew says.)

(Soon, the two Pokemon begin to try to gain the upper hand.)

Announcer: "Now these two powerful Pokemon are trading the lead!"

Dario: "Do it, Dodrio!"

(Dario calls out.)

(Dodrio then pecks Ponyta, making it lose its focus and Ponyta is beginning to fall behind.)

Announcer: "Something's happened! Ponyta is falling behind!"

Mew: "That was a cheap shot, Dario!"

(Mew calls out.)

Dario: "I do what I have to to win!"

(Dario remarks.)

(Then Dodrio runs ahead.)

Announcer: "Dodrio is closing in on the finish line!"

(Ponyta's burning flame begins to grow large and strong, surprising Mew and Lara.)

(Soon, Ponyta soon begins to change, it's sharp and it begins to enlarge.)

(It becomes taller with large flames for mane and tail and flames on its legs.)

(And finally, it gains a sharp horn on its forehead.)

(Mew becomes surprised to see what has become of Ponyta.)

Mew: "Ponyta just.."

Lara: "Evolved into Rapidash!"

(Lara confirms.)

Announcer: "Fans, this is incredible! Ponyta has just evolved into Rapidash! The fastest sprinters in the world of Pokemon!

(Dario notices Mew and now Rapidash catching up and the Pokemon evolve.)

(He says in disbelief.)

Dario: "I can't believe it!"

(Mew and Rapidash continue to speed as a flying flame.)

Announcer: "Here comes Rapidash, who has a top speed of over one-hundred miles an hour! And Rapidash has caught up! They're neck and neck, heading for the finish line!

(Dario calls out.)

Dario: "Come on, Dodrio!"

Mew: "You can do it, Rapidash!"

(Mew calls out.)

Announcer: "It's down to the wire!"

(The two Pokemon closes on the finish line.)

(but soon Rapidash passes Dodrio by the muzzle and zips past the finish line.)

(Everyone cheers in excitement that Rapidash has won the race.)

Announcer: "An incredible upset! Rapidash makes an amazing comeback to win this Pokemon Challenge!"

(Mew hugs Rapidash.)

Mew: "Way to go, Rapidash."

(Suddenly, Dario comes over.)

Dario: "You cheaters! You interfered with me!"

Mew: You're the one who attacked me and you're a big cheat!"

(Mew says.)

(Angry, Dario says.)

Dario: "I'll show you!"

(Then tells his Dodrio.)

Dario: "Go get 'em!"

(Rapidash has enough of Dario, so she uses her back legs to send Dario and Dodrio flying.)

(After that, the award ceremony occurs, Lara joins her Pokemon for the ceremony with Mew who is the rider.)

Announcer: "Congratulations, Ponyta, I mean, Rapidash! You are this year's Pokemon Challenge Champion! Let's give a big hand for its trainer, Lara Laramie, and for the winning rider, Mew!

(Soon, Mew's friends and Pokemon are able to attend the ceremony and are very happy for Mew, Lara and Rapidash.)

Mew: "Hey, congratulations, Lara,"

(Mew says.)

Lara: "Thank you, Mew. You proved yourself to be a fantastic Pokemon trainer. Isn't that right, Rapidash?"

(Lara says.)

(Then Rapidash begins to lick Mew on her cheek.)

(Mew giggles and says.)

Mew: "Aw, Thanks, Rapidash."

(Soon, everyone begins laughing with glee.)

(Sometime later in the evening, Mew and her friends say goodbye to Lara and Rapidash.)

Lara: "If you're looking to capture Pokemon, the Safari Zone just ahead should be perfect,"

(Lara says.)

Mew: "The Safari Zone?! It sounds like fun."

(Mew says, interested.)

Lara: "Thanks again, Mew. You did a great job. I'm sure you will become a great Pokemon Trainer,"

(Lara says.)

Mew: "Thanks, Lara. I've much obliged,"

(Mew says.)

(Soon, Mew and her friends leave the Laramie Ranch to say goodbye to their new friends.)

(And they head to a new part of their adventure at the Safari Zone.)

(Meanwhile, Team Rocket is getting a taste of their medicine from Dario.)

(Team Rocket are tied to a tree and are not going to get out anytime soon.)

(Dario angrily says.)

Dario: "You're the reason I didn't win the Pokemon Challenge! Team Rocket's the worst!"

Jessie: "We'll just have to plan better next year,"

(Jessie says with anger.)

James: "And maybe you can get yourself some nicer riding clothes,"

(James adds.)

(Then James says.)

James: "And give that smelly bird a bath."

(Soon, Dodrio begins to peck them with anger and Team Rocket panic as they are being pecked.)
