This is the episode script for A Shadow of a Drought (RFFAoPTJJ).
[The episode starts]
Narrator: Last time, Ash captured a Cyndaquil and his hopes were burning brightly, and now it's the sun's turn.
[The camera sees Ash and the others who are feeling tired in the heat of the sun]
Ryan Freestar: Ugh. Is it hot in here, or is it just me?
Matau T. Monkey: The heat… so tense…
Cody Starshooter: Lucky I have.. my suncream for this…
Daisy Harper: I would need a lemonade… extra… ice…
Pikachu: Pika... ("???")
Chris Strider: [rasping] W-w-w-w-w-w-water! [falls onto the ground]
Oisin Carolglow: H2o, please.
Bikejack: Anyone got any Energon?
Yui Hirasawa: It's hot… [lays on the ground]
Sci-Ryan: I feel too thirsty.
Kath (Ryan's Eevee): Eevui… (A drink…)
Yui Hirasawa: So thirsty… I'm too tired to go on.
Mio Akiyama: We...must keep going.
Dave Tyson: No, Mio… We are too dehydrated to keep going.
Jessie Primefan: I'm exhausted…
Ben Starbeam: Me too, Jess.
Andante Daze: Some sirens. It's like my brothers are crawling with me.
Marina Shimizu (Pokémon trainer): This heat from the sun makes me..feel like I am away from the water. I would rather swim in the sand than water.
Jetson Storm: Marina, your human bodies are made up an average of over 70% water.
Sean Carolglow: We're frying! If we don't find some water, the fat lady will finish singing and it's over for us.
Aylin Livemort: This heat is too strong. My life is flashing before my eyes.
Bikejack: I don't know which life be, Aylin. I hope Miki finds water in a microsecond.
Jetson Storm: I suppose you know our situation.
Queen Ryanara: I wonder how she do with us?
[Miki feels completely exhausted from the heat]
Miki Sunshine: I have a headache and my throat feels like a scorching desert.
Ruskin "Raice" Landimister: My throat has a desert in it. [coughs out sand. The camera sees that he has a sand castle in front of him] Primus, that was new.
Aylin Livemort: Hey, once you eat desert, you don't need dessert.
[Sci-Ryan laughs by the pun]
Miki Sunshine: Yeah. Not only I lost to Drake at the Orange League, I am about to lose my life. [feels dizzy] Cody? I don’t feel so good. This is the end of Miki Sunshine. Runner up of the Orange League and Pokémon trainer of.... the Kanto… Region…
[Miki falls onto the ground)
Kanehikili: Pi? ("Miki?")
Kath: Eevee? Eevee! Eva-voy! (Miki? Ryan! Miki's in trouble!)
Ryan Freestar: [notices Miki on the ground] Gah! Miki!
[Ryan runs to Miki]
Cody Starshooter: Uh oh!
Mio Akiyama: Oh no!
Ryan Freestar: [holds up Miki's body] Miki, are you okay?
[Miki just slumps on his shoulder]
Mio Akiyama: She's dehydrated! She needs water!
Meg Griffin: Ryan, you got some water?
Ryan Freestar: Let's see. [checks in his bag] I got some Everstones, a copy of a VHS Ritsu used in her story, my honorary Autobot membership card… Aha! [pulls out his canteen of water] My water container. I hope it have some water in it.
[Ryan opens his canteen and it has water. He gives his water to Miki]
Ryan Freestar: Here, Miki. Have some of my water. I hope you feel okay.
[Miki weakly drinks from Ryan's canteen of water and color slowly returns to her cheeks]
Ryan Freestar: Attagirl, Mik. Keep chugging, you need this a lot more than I do.
Matau T. Garrison: That's good of you, Master Ryan.
Crash Bandicoot: Extreme rescue of a friend.
Sean Carolglow: He knows that his water is for Miki.
Trio Darkle: You said it, Sean.
Kath: Eevee… [snuggles Miki as she keeps on drinking]
Kanehikili: Chu.
[Miki keeps on drinking from Ryan's canteen and when she drinks the last of the water from Ryan's canteen, the color returns to her cheeks and her eyes gradually open]
Miki Sunshine: Ryan....
Ryan Freestar: There's our Miki!
Miki Sunshine: Hi, Ryan. What happened?
Ryan Freestar: You passed out on the ground by the heat so, I gave you my water to save you.
Miki Sunshine: (smiles) Thank you...for saving my life. You're a true friend, Ryan.
Ryan Freestar: You're welcome.
Meg Griffin: Thank goodness.
Brock: Ugh, look at those plants, every single one of them is shriveled up from the heat.
Ash Ketchum: So am I. I need water or I'm gonna shrivel up too...
Misty: Hey, I know. I'll use Staryu. (gets out Staryu's Pokeball)
(Staryu materializes)
Misty: Staryu, cool us off with your Water Gun.
(Staryu fires its Water Gun into the sky like a sprinkler)
Sonant Nightfall: This is amazing!
Jessie Primefan:
Crash Bandicoot: Yahoo!
Trio Darkle: Rianna F-Fiona would like this one!
Misty: This feels great!
Miki Sunshine: That feels so nice and cool...
Spencer Vallerte:
Ash Ketchum: Why didn't I think of that? (gets out a Pokeball) I could use Squirtle, too.
(Squirtle materializes)
Ash Ketchum: Okay Squirtle, use your Water Gun!
(Squirtle spews a blast of water into Ash's face, and sends him flying to a nearby boulder)
Squirtle: Squirtle...Squirtle? ("Uh, oh. You okay?")

Jessie: I'd give my right arm for a drink right now.
James: Yes, I'd give your left arm as well.
(Meowth is guzzling down a canteen of water)
James: Ah! I forgot we had water!
Jessie: Meowth, we'll take our share now!
Meowth: Okay.
Jessie: What?! The water's all gone! Meowth must've drank the canteen dry!
James: Hey, we were supposed to get our fair share!
Meowth: Yeah but my share was on the bottom.
(Jessie and James are peeved with Meowth)
Meowth: Hey, look. Dere's a well right dere!
Jessie: (angrily) I'm not stupid enough to fall for that, you little—!!!
James: Wait, Jessie. It may be true.
Jessie: What?
- Meowth: See? Just leave things to me.
- Jessie: Oh, Meowth! You discovered it, you should do the honors!
- James: Yes, I agree.
- Jessie: Since you found the well, you should have the honor of pumping the water first.
- Meowth: Dat's real sportsman of you two. Den I'll pump away!
- Jessie and James: And we'll drink just away!!!
- Meowth: Dat's right! Hey, wait a second.
- Jessie and James: Just keep pumping!!!
- (But the pump spews sand and dirt)
- Meowth: Guess the well ran dry.
- James: It's like a desert out here, there has to be water somewhere.
- Meowth: Lucky I brought these things along with me! They're called the divining rods and as soon as we come across the underground spring, they start moving apart.
- James: Those diving rods sound simply divine to me!
- Meowth: Okay, dig here! Watza matter down there?! It's a good thing I came prepared! Dis little baby ought to do the trick!
Jessie: What's that? What's happening?
Meowth: Allow me to introduce our new Bangled-Hole Digger! The Super Diglett Mach 2!
Jessie: And allow me to introduce the old-fashioned shovel!
Meowth: Huh?
- [Clunk!]
James: I'm dying of thirst! Let's get moving!
- Jessie: So let's get this rig digging, Meowth!
- Meowth: Roger. We can dig water any second now.
- Team Rocket: Hooray!
Jessie: What happened? Did we crash down?
Meowth: Dat wasn't a crashdown, it was a splash-down!
Jessie: Where's the water?
Meowth: It's too dark to see!
James: It feels damp in here. Let's take a look around.
Meowth: I think we got company!!
[They see a Slowpoke]
