(The episode begins)
Narrator: Shortly after his arrival to the Hoenn region Ash, reunited with some old allies from his adventures with Misty and Brock, and met an aspiring new Pokemon trainer named May. Now, together they're on their way to Oldale Town where Ash will register for the Hoenn League.
Ash Ketchum: Pikachu, guys, since Oldale Town is so close, you want to race the rest of the way?
Ryan Freestar:
Pikachu: Pikachu!
May: Hey, hold up a minute!
Ash and the others: Huh?
(They notice a tired May)
Ash Ketchum: You're walking too slow.
May: If I knew you'd run the whole way, I wouldn't have offered my help!
Ash Ketchum: What're you talking about? I just want to get there before it gets too dark.
Meg Griffin:
May: Hmm. I did have a bike.
Ash Ketchum: (yelps embarrassed upon remembering) You know, I guess there's no harm if we slow it down just a little bit.
Pikachu: (agrees) Pikachu!
May: That's right.
(?? in Pokemon in Ruby and Sapphire Advanced opening plays)
Ash Ketchum (V.O.): A Ruin with a View!
(We see the heroes walking the forest while May was curious about why Pikachu's on Ash's shoulder and not in its Pokeball)
May: Ash?
Ash Ketchum: Yeah?
May: I always thought that Pokemon were supposed to stay inside their Pokeballs, right?
Ash Ketchum: I guess so, but Pikachu likes it better hanging outside with me, right, buddy?
Pikachu: (agrees) Pika, Pika!
Ryan Freestar:
Kath: Eva vui.
Meg Griffin:
Sean Carolglow:
May: Huh. (takes out her Pokeball) I haven't gotten any complaints from my Torchic yet. Uh, come to think of it, I barely know anything about this Torchic!
Ash Ketchum: Then what you should do is look it up in that new Pokedex you just got.
May: Oh, yeah!
(She checks her Pokedex)
Amanda Tyson:
May: Well, it says here that Torchic is a Fire-Type Pokemon, and its attack are....
Ash Ketchum: Hey, look at that!
May: At what?
???: Over there.
(They spot an Azurill up ahead)
May: Ah!
(Checks her Pokedex)
Pokedex: Azurill, the Waterball Pokemon. Azurill is able to throw its tail like a lasso, using the momentum to move about.
Azurill: Azurill!
May: It's so cute! I want it!
Ash Ketchum: Then, try and catch it!
May: Alirght. I'll just grab me a Pokeball...(takes out a Pokeball)...and throw it!
Ash and the heroes: Uh....
Pikachu: Pikachu!
(May tosses her Pokeball)
Ash Ketchum: No, not like that, May!
Ryan Freestar: Too late, Ash.
Pikachu: Pika!
(The Pokeball hits Azurill and it went in)
May: Oh, yeah! I caught my first Pokemon!
Miki Sunshine: Are you sure about that, May?
(Just as Miki said that, Azurill broke out of the ball)
May: Hey! What gives?
Ash Ketchum: Well, you're not gonna catch anything that way.
May: Why not? I threw an empty Pokeball at it, didn't I?
