Episode 143: UnBEARable
A couple of days came and went since Kairi had won the Poké Maiden Tournament and it didn't take long before her name reached over cities and towns her fanclub became international.
Sora, Kairi, Karen, Tracey, Sakura, Pikachu, Angel, Blossom, Togepi, and the Pichu, group is approached by a boy around Sora and Kairi's age.
"Excuse me there, miss! Are you by chance the champion of the Poké Maiden Tournament known as Kairi?" The boy asked.
"Yes I am. Why?" Kairi asked.
"I was wondering if you would like to have a battle with me, if it's not too much trouble," the boy said. "If not, then it's cool." Kairi looked over to Sora for his opinion.
"He made the challenge, so it's up to you if you accept or not," Sora said.
"I guess you're right, Sora. After all, I should have known winning a tournament would have its consequences," Kairi said. "So what's your name?"
"My name is Brian. And I just want to warn you that I'm pretty good," Brian said.
"Okay, Brian. You're on," Kairi accepted. "How many Pokémon to use?"
"Let's make it two-on-two," Brian challenged.
"Okay," Kairi said taking out a Pokéball.
"I'll make the first choice," Brian said taking out his Pokéball. "Go for it, Hitmontop!" The Pokéball opens and Hitmontop spins upon entry.
"I'm going to go with Ledian!" Kairi said throwing her Pokéball and it lets out Ledian.
"You can make the first move," Brian offered.
"Thanks for being such a gentleman. Ledian! Comet Punch!" Kairi ordered. Ledian comes right at Hitmontop to land some punches.
"Hitmontop! Detect!" Brian ordered. Hitmontop's eyes glows blue and he avoids Ledian's punch attacks like it no problem. "Now use Gyro Ball!" Hitmontop flipped onto the tip of his head and spun around as a blue circle flows around as Hitmontop spins around.
"Ledian! Air Slash!" Kairi ordered. Ledian unleashed a blade of air and it strikes Hitmontop on the mark. "Now use Mach Punch!" Ledian lands a lightning fast punch on the Handstand Pokémon. "Now use Comet Punch!" Ledian came at Hitmontop and gave him four punches. Hitmontop is then knocked out. Brian takes calls Hitmontop back.
"You did your best, Hitmontop. Take a good, long rest," Brian said, calling back his fallen Pokémon. He looked to Kairi. "That was very good, Kairi. Now let's see how you handle this one. Go Yanma!" The Pokéball opens and lets out a Yanma. Kairi calls back Ledian and pulls out Quilava's Pokéball.
"Go for it, Quilava!" Kairi called out throwing her Pokéball letting out Quilava.
"So you've sent a Fire-type to take out my Yanma, huh? My Yanma won't be scared off so easily. Yanma! Secret Power!" Brian ordered. Yanma's body glows in a pink aura. Yanma fires pinkish-white energy right towards Quilava.
"Quilava! Dodge and use Flamethrower!" Kairi called out. Quilava narrowly avoids Yanma's attack and fired Flamethrower towards the Clear Wing Pokémon.
"Sonicboom!" Brian ordered. Yanma rapidly flapped its wings and it cancelled out Quilava's Flamethrower. "Now move in with Wing Attack!" Yanma flew towards Quilava with its wings glowing white.
"Quilava! Flame Wheel!" Kairi ordered. Quilava rolled right at Yanma and it had more than enough fire power to take down Yanma and it falls to the ground, beaten.
"Wow. I can see why you won that tournament," Brian said, calling back Yanma. "But you should be careful around these parts of the woods." Sora, Kairi, Karen, Tracey, and Sakura were all confused by what Brian had told them.
"Why and how?" Sora asked.
"I heard that there's a scary Pokémon around here. It has been a nuisance around here for quite sometime. I don't know what kind of Pokémon could be lurking around here. It's been known to steal food from unsuspecting travelers along with your backpack. I just think it's best that you don't have anything to do with it," Brian warned the group. He took off leaving the group alone.
The group continued on keeping a lookout for any scary Pokémon Brian had warned them about.
Meanwhile, over to Team Rocket, they were at a nearby gravel pit site exhausted from so many hours of hard work; and it all started several days ago. They all wore yellow hardhats.
"I don't know about the two of you, but I'm bushed," Meowth said. "There has to be a better way to make some money rather than shovelling rocks and dirt all day."
"I don't like the gravel pit, but if we save our pay, we can pay off our debt and fund our secret weapons," Jessie reminded him.
"But Jessie, we've barely made enough to do some pit shopping," James said. Wobbufet pops out of his Pokéball once again.
"Wobbu, Wobbufet!" Wobbufet said in a salute.
"Jessie, can you deal with this? I don't have the strength take care of this today," James said.
"I feel for you, James. I don't think I have the strength to get angry," Jessie said. "Let's face it, James; we've literally and metaphorically hit rock bottom."
"We're even lower than a Bulbasaur's bellybutton," James said. "And if they had a bellybutton."
"We outta be soaring higher than the stars, but instead we're down here scratching around in the dirt like a Sneasel in an Easter Egg hunt," Meowth said.
"Well, we better report in for the night shift," James said.
"HELL FREAKING NO!" Jessie yelled tossing her pick aside. "I can't take one more second of this! I wasn't made for backbreaking labor!"
"I wasn't made for backbreaking labor either. I'm all for a buck, just not for an honest one," Meowth said.
"I'm with you," James said.
Jessie tossed her hardhat when she spotted a cornfield across from them.
"LOOK! A CORNFIELD!" Jessie exclaimed cheerfully. "I have an idea how we can make our money problems go away!"
"Huh?" James asked.
"I don't know what it is, but I bet it's corny," Meowth said with a pun.
Back over to Sora, Kairi, Karen, Tracey, and the Pokémon, they continued on through the woods thinking about the scary Pokémon in the woods.
"That Brian guy said something about a pretty scary Pokémon. Just what kind of Pokémon that could be it? Or maybe it might be a Heartless?" Sakura asked, almost shivering.
"If we knew that, then we wouldn't be wondering what it is," Sora pointed out. "Also, I think we could be giving a little too much credit, because it sounds more like a Pokémon to me anyway."
"Point taken," Sakura said.
"And if it is a Pokémon, just could it be?" Karen asked.
"Pika," Blossom said.
"It might just be anything," Sora said stroking his chin. "It might be a pretty big Gengar in an extremely bad mood and hungry. Or it could be a Snorlax that's very angry because it didn't get enough sleep for a while. Or maybe a rogue Tyranitar attacking travelers just to steal food."
"Those are good theories, but it could be an army of Golbat and Crobat watching us in the trees," Kairi said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"Toge," Togepi chirped.
"Maybe it could be a mean Arcanine or maybe a cranky Ursaring," Karen said.
"All of those theories might make sense," Tracey said, stroking his chin as well. "Brian was right to warn us. We should be careful." Everyone all agreed as they kept going a little further.
"It's getting pretty dark fast; especially in these woods," Karen said.
"I think we should make a stop for the night," Kairi said.
"We're not setting up camp here are we? These woods are way too scary," Sakura said.
"We don't need to set up camp! Loo over there!" Sora said as they spotted an old cabin.
"A cabin?" Tracey asked.
"You think someone might let us in?" Kairi asked.
"Only one way to find out," Sora said as he knocks on the door. "Hello? Is anybody home?" He slowly opens the door. "Sorry to barge in." He looked inside and saw no one in sight. "It's totally deserted."
"Judging how this place looks, it looks like no one has lived here for sometime," Sakura said.
"A good place to spend the night," Karen said.
"How are we doing on food so far?" Tracey asked.
"Just some apples and some sandwiches from a sandwich stand we stopped by yesterday," Kairi said.
"I guess we'll have to make due with what we've got," Sora said. "And we'll fall right to sleep as soon as we're done, because we'll need an early start in the morning."
"Right," Tracey and the girls agreed as they stepped inside.
The group ate what was left of their sandwiches and set up for bed. But unknown to them, they were being watched by an unknown creature in the bushes. Sora and Kairi slept close together with their heads against one another. The same can be said with Pikachu and Angel.
The mysterious creature tossed a rock at the window. It woke them all up.
"What was that?" Sakura asked in a whisper.
"I don't know. But it sounded pretty close," Kairi said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"It's not what I think it is, is it?" Karen asked.
"Pi," Blossom said.
"It's gotta be that Pokémon we were warned about," Tracey said.
"Whatever it is, it's going to be sorry that it targeted us," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
Everyone stepped outside with Tracey holding the lantern.
"Keep your eyes open, guys. It might come out from anywhere," Sora said. Everyone looked around and listened for what made the sound. The mysterious creature snuck inside and crawled into Karen's sleeping bag.
"I don't see anything," Karen said.
"I think it was a false alarm. We must have gotten very jumpy," Sora said.
"Sora's right," Tracey agreed. "But this is nothing compared to having to deal with Heartless coming our way."
"Now let's get back to sleep and take off in the morning," Sora said as he, Kairi, Karen, Tracey, Sakura, and the Pokémon heads back in the cabin to sleep. Karen gave off a yawn when she saw something moving around in her sleeping bag and she screamed.
"What's the matter?" Kairi asked.
"There's something moving around in my sleeping bag," Karen said.
"Something moving around?" Kairi asked. She saw that something and uncovered the creature in the sleeping bag. It was a little Teddiursa. "It was only a Teddiursa." Sora and the rest saw the Little Bear Pokémon sleeping soundly. Teddiursa woke up and placed it's index claw at its mouth and looked at Sora's sister and seeing how cute it was her heart instantly melted.
"Oh my gosh, such a little cutie," Karen cooed. She takes out a Pokéball to catch the Teddiursa. "I want a Teddiursa of my very own."
"Urs. URSA!" Teddiursa cried and clinged to Karen's leg.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Teddy. I didn't mean to scare you," Karen apologized. She puts the Pokéball away. "See? The mean old Pokéball is good as gone. I won't catch you if you don't want me to. We can just be friends."
"Urs," Teddiursa beamed.
"Oh, you're ever so adorable," Karen gushed.
"Teddiursa," Teddy said.
"That Teddiursa really knows how to turn on the Charm," Sora said jokingly.
"I didn't think a Charm attack would work on humans," Tracey said.
Karen had gushed over how cute Teddiursa is and then went off to sleep with Teddiursa in her arms. Blossom wasn't too quick to trust the Teddiursa. Just when everyone was deep in their sleep, Teddiursa woke up and snuck into Karen's bag and grabbed the two apples inside and ate them, leaving behind two apple cores. Teddiursa smirked wickedly and climbed back into Karen's arms and slept soundly.
As the sun rose in the next morning, Karen woke up first and saw the two apple cores by her back.
"Oh no! My apples!" Karen excalimed. "Who ate my apples?!" This woke up the rest inside.
"What's the matter now?" Sora said in a sleepy tone.
"Someone ate the two apples in my bag and left these behind," Karen said, holding the apple cores.
"Well, don't look at Pikachu or Angel, because they were with me and Kairi the whole time," Sora said.
"The same can said for Togepi," Kairi said.
"Vee," Angel said.
"Pi," Togepi yawned.
"Well, they didn't eat themselves," Karen said. She looked over to the two Pichu sleeping soundly. "I bet it was those two. They're the only ones who could have."
"What?" Sakura asked. "That can't be true."
"Pichu," the two Pichu shook their heads in denial.
"Hey, that's not fair, Karen! You don't have any proof that they did it!" Sora said to his sister.
"Sora's right. Even if they did, they wouldn't know better," Kairi said.
"I guess you're right. Sorry, Pichu," Karen apologized.
Everyone stepped and did some stretches.
"Well, no scary Pokémon to deal with," Sakura said.
"How right you are, Sakura. But we should keep going because we never know when it'll show up," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
Teddiursa smirked again.
Over to Team Rocket further up, they set up a little stand cooking some corn on a grill.
"Hey! Get your hot corn!" Jessie called out cheerfully.
"Step right up here, if you want a hot ear!" James called out.
"Hot corn, fresh from the husk! Hurry up, folks! We're only here until dusk!" Jessie called out.
"Yo! I'll take a bag full!" A teen said.
"Here you go! Enjoy every kernel!" Jessie said happily, handing him a bag full of hot corn.The teen paid for his purchase and took off.
"Wow! We're doing great, Jessie!" James said fanning some of the corn.
"With my charming good looks, I can sell butter to a Butterfree," Jessie said.
"Well, here comes the new crop, kiddies!" Meowth said coming in with a wagon full of freshly picked corn.
"Looks like quite a hefty harvest!" Jessie said.
"Just think! Mother Nature does all the planting and we reap all the benefits!" James said happily.
"If we keep this up, not only we can pay off our debts, but we can have extra money left over to build our new robots!" Jessie said.
"You've said it!" James added.
"Hey! You guys smell that?" Sakura asked.
"I think I see the source; some roasted corn up ahead," Sora said.
"Crap! It's those twerpy-twerps!"James gasped.
"We can't let them recognize us!" Jessie said trying her best to hide her idenity. Sora and Kairi both saw through their ploy.
"What do you think, Kairi? Think that they got a job at a local farm or something?" Sora asked in a whisper.
"Not a chance. I can bet my money they stole that corn," Kairi whispered back.
"Think we should blow the whistle on them?" Sora asked.
"We could do that, but I think there might be a farm nearby, and let whoever owns the cornfield deal with them," Kairi stated. "Besides, there isn't a cop in miles of here."
"Good idea. But, let's pretend that we don't recognize them and keep moving," Sora suggested. Kairi nodded to the idea and they kept going. Teddiursa gazed at the roasted corn and Karen noticed.
"Are you hungry, Teddy? Do you want one?" Karen asked. Teddiursa turns and puts on the charm.
"Ursa," Teddiursa chirped.
"Ooh! I can't say no to that face," Karen said walking up to the stand. "I'll have five of your biggest ears of roasted corn, if you please."
"Here you go," Jessie bluntly said, handing her the bag. She glances over to the Teddiursa by her side. "Is that a Teddiursa?" The Little Bear Pokémon looked at Jessie and did the same charm he did with Karen upon their first meeting. "Oh, you are such a cutie!" Jessie hands Teddiursa an ear of roasted corn. "Here, have an ear of corn on the house." Jessie handed Teddiursa the roasted corn. He takes the corn from her hand.
"Say thank you to the nice lady, Teddy," Karen said.
"Teddiursa!" Teddy said.
"And thank you for the corn," Karen said as she rejoins her friends.
"You idiot! I had to haul that corn all by myself! We're never make any profit if you just give it away for free!" Meowth hissed. He kicks her leg.
"Ow!" Jessie yelped. "I do whatever I want to!"
"If I recall correctly, Teddiursa are pretty rare and valuable," James said.
"They are. And once we earned enough money, we can build a new secret weapon and steal both Pikachu and that Teddiursa!" Jessie said.
"Let's get back to work!" Jessie and James both said in unison.
"Fresh hot corn on a stick!" Jessie called out.
"The corn's great and the sticks not bad either!" James added.
"Step right up!" Jessie called out.
"Corn here!" James called out.
"Don't be shy!" Jessie called out.
"Buy, buy, buy, buy!" Jessie and James called out.
Over to Sora, Kairi, Karen, Tracey, Sakura, and the Pokémon, Sora was chewing Karen out about what she did.
"I can't believe you bought some roasted corn from those jokers, Karen! It didn't occur to you that all those ears of corn were stolen?" Sora scolded her.
"I couldn't help it. I just couldn't say no to this cute little face," Karen said as she looks over to Teddiursa happily eating the roasted corn.
"I guess that's okay at the most part, but you can't just cave-in every time Teddiursa does that thing. Even Kairi doesn't spoil Togepi that much!" Sora said.
"Sora is right, Karen. You have to set boundries with Teddiursa," Kairi said.
"Okay. I'll try to be firm with Teddy from now on," Karen said.
After a few minutes, they made it by a beautiful lake.
"This looks like a nice spot," Sakura said.
"We can have our lunch here," Sora said, taking out his Pokéballs and let out Noctowl, Donohan, Remoraid, Scyther, Yanma, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Natu, Snubbull, and Stantler. Kairi does the same for Skiploom, Ledian, Mismagius, Furret, Flaaffy, Quilava, Sunflora, Girafarig, Miktank, and Brick. Tracey has let out Venonat, Marill, and his own Scyther while Sakura has let out her Eevee. Sora and Tracey's Scyther glared at each other, but Sora and Tracey managed to break them up before a fight could occur. "Anyway, how are we doing on food?"
"We only got loaf of bread and a big hunk of ham," Tracey said. "I think that might be enough for all of us for the most part."
"It's better than nothing," Sora said.
Teddiursa grinned so wickedly as he had some plans for that ham.
The kids and Pokémon were working together in setting up camp for lunch.
"Hey, Kairi, think you can give me and Tracey a hand with some of this firewood?" Sakura asked.
"Sure thing," Kairi said. Teddiursa waited for the aubrun haired girl to leave the ham unattended and went over to it. Just then, Skiploom noticed Teddiursa over to the ham. Teddiursa got started eating the ham.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing? That ham is for Kairi and the others! That's not yours!" - Skiploom subtitle.
"Back off!" - Teddiursa subtitle. Teddiursa smacks Skiploom. That made her puff up in anger.
"Loom!" Skiploom huffed up.
"I'm starving. Let's make those sandwiches now," Sora said. Teddiursa hears the kids coming back and hands the Cottonweed Pokémon the wrapper and pretends to cry. Karen saw Teddiursa crying thinking he was crying for real.
"Skiploom! What did you do to Teddy to make him cry?" Karen chided Skiploom.
"What's all the commotion about?" Kairi asked.
"Look at what your Skiploom did!" Karen said, accusingly. "Skiploom ate our ham and she scared Teddiursa!"
"What? Is that true, Skiploom?" Kairi asked.
"Skip, Skip, Skip," Siploom denied shaking her head. "Loom!" Skiploom pointed to Teddiursa.
"Don't you dare accuse my sweet little Teddy! We know you're the one who ate the ham and don't you dare frame Teddy for it!" Karen scolded.
"Hold on a second! How do we know it was Skiploom at all?" Sora asked.
"We just caught her red-handed! That's how I know!" Karen said.
"Karen is right. It does seems rather suspicious," Sakura said.
"I don't care how suspicious it is, you can't accuse Skiploom for something like that! And if Skiploom said she didn't do it, then I believe her!" Kairi said.
"So you're defending a thief, are you?" Karen argued.
"My Skiploom is not a thief! Unless you have picture evidence that supports it, you can't prove anything!" Kairi argued back.
"The ham's gone and Skiploom is holding the wrapper! What more proof do you want?" Karen argued. Sora heard enough arguing from the two of them and broke them up.
"That's enough! What's done is done! We can just head over to the supermarket and buy some food there and maybe make some lunch with that. Won't that make everything better?" Sora asked. Kairi and Karen glared at each other for a moment.
"Fine!" Kairi and Karen both said.
After a little while, Sora, Kairi, Karen, Tracey, and Sakura came back with food from the supermarket and got set up to make some lunch. Sora and Kairi were making some soup.
"How am I doing, Kairi?" Sora asked while he was tirring the soup.
"You're doing great, Sora. It's looking better than you thought it was," Kairi said.
"Good. I was worried about burning it or something," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
Karen is setting the table while Teddiursa swiped the bananas from the table. Teddiursa was about to eat the bananas when Togepi came over to see what he was doing.
"Hey! Where did those bananas go?" Karen asked. They were here a second ago." Teddiursa handed Togepi the bananas to frame the baby Pokémon. Togepi thought it was a game and shoved the bananas in his mouth. "Teddy, did you see a bunch of bananas?" Teddiursa was worried about being caught with his mouth full of bananas, so he shook his head. "Maybe that brother of mine took them. He probably couldn't wait until lunch anyway." Tracey placed the grocery bag on the table and Teddiursa has eyed the sausages.
"So, how's that soup coming along?" Tracey asked.
Teddiursa jumped on the table and grabbed the sausages. Quilava saw what Teddiursa was doing and tried to stop him. The Little Bear Pokémon just shoved her out of the way. Teddiursa left a sausage link trail.
"Are you sure you left them on the table, Karen?" Sora asked.
"I'm positive, Sora," Karen said.
"Well, I didn't take them," Sora said.
"Didn't take what?" Sakura asked.
"We had some bananas on the table here and now they're gone," Karen said.
"Toge, Togepi!" Togepi chirped as they saw the sausage links.
"So, the food theif is in that bush!" Sakura said.
"Then let's pull it out," Sora said as he grabbed the sausages and started yanking. Quilava was giving him a piece of his mind when Teddiursa felt the tug and tried to pull back the sausages. "I got you now, you little bandit!" Teddiursa winced knowing he was going to get caught in the act so he wrapped the sausages around Quilava and shoved the end he was eating in his mouth and pretended to cry.
"What is going on here?" Sora asked as he saw Quilava with the sausage in his mouth.
"This is hard to believe," Sakura said.
"Quilava stole them," Karen said. Quilava shook his head and spat the sausage out. Teddiursa ran up to Karen. "You were trying to stop Quilava weren't you?"
"Is that right, Quilava?" Kairi asked. Quilava shook his head. "I want to believe you, Quilava, but it does look suspicious." Quilava couldn't believe what he heard Kairi say, so he took off, steamed. "Quilava! Wait!" She, Sora, Tracey, Karen, and Sakura ran after him.
"Kairi, wait up!" Sora called out after her. With the human kids gone, this was the chance that the Little Bear Pokémon was waiting for.
The kids caught up with Quilava and saw he was mad.
"Quilava, I know you didn't do it. And if you said you didn't do it, then I believe you," Kairi said.
"Gotta admit, this whole thing is suspious. First Skiploom, now Quilava. And both were around when Teddiursa was crying," Sora said, stroking his chin.
"What are you getting at, Sora?" Sakura asked.
"Is anybody sensing a pattern here? Our food is disappearing and Skiploom and Quilava have been caught with food in their possession. And isn't it a coincidence to see Teddiursa crying at the scene? We never had this kind of problem before," Sora pointed out.
"I agree. Two of Kairi's Pokémon has been caught with food with them and they never shown any misbehavior like this before," Tracey agreed.
"No way! Teddy wouldn't do something like that!" Karen stated.
"We don't know that for certain, Karen. And until we do, we have to keep a pretty close watch on Teddiursa just in case," Sora said.
"Sora's right. It does sound fishy," Sakura said. Totodile then came running up to his Trainer and his friends.
"Totodile!" Totodile said.
"What's up, Totodile?" Sora asked. Snubbull was yelling at Teddiursa. They came back and saw Teddiursa rummaging through Tracey's backpack.
"Teddy?" Karen asked.
"What could Teddiursa be looking for in my backpack?" Tracey asked. Teddiursa took out a loaf of bread and took a bite out of it.
"Aha! Caught ya!" Sora shouted. Teddiursa flinced and handed the bread to Snubbull and pretended to cry once again. "Nice try, you little liar! We caught you red-handed!"
"So, it was Teddiursa stealing our food all along!" Tracey said.
"He had us wrapped around his paw right from the start!" Kairi said. "And he framed Skiploom and Quilava for the thefts!"
"No! It can't be true!" Karen said. She went up to Teddiursa. "Please tell me you're not the one stealing our food and all is forgiven." Teddiursa tried his little charm once again. "Cutie! How can I doubt a sweet face like that?"
"Seriously, Karen?" Sora asked. "Teddiursa was lying to all of us the whole time! And now we're on to your little act!" Sora said. Teddiursa knew his ploy could no longer fool them, so he strapped on Tracey's backpack and ran off.
"Hey! That's mine!" Tracey exclaimed.
"Give that back!" Sakura shouted.
Sora, Kairi, Karen, Tracey, Sakura and the Pokémon chased after Teddiursa. They quickly lost his trail when Teddiursa went into some bushes.
"Where did he go?" Kairi asked.
"Teddiursa can't be too far!" Tracey said.
"Let's keep looking!" Sora said. Everyone all agreed and kept looking. Teddiursa took off with the backpack.
Over to Team Rocket, they started to celebrate their successful day; let's see how long that lasts, shall we?
Jessie laughs and said, "We've made a bundle today!"
"We've sold a whole bunch of hot corn and we still have three ears left for us to chow down on," Meowth said.
"We got it made," James said. Team Rocket heard something jump into their wagon and saw the same Teddiursa from before with a new backpack. He was looking for some corn and saw it was gone. He spotted the three that was left and decided to have some fun with them. "Say, I think this is the same Teddiursa we saw with the twerps earlier today."
"I wonder what it's doing here," Jessie said.
"Teddiursa. Teddi, Teddi, Teddiursa, Ursa, Ursa, Teddi, Teddiursa, Teddi," Teddiursa said.
"That makes loads of sense. He's saying that he couldn't stand being with those goody two-shoes losers no-more," Meowth translated.
"Teddiursa, Teddiursa!" Teddiursa said.
"But, he said he was too lonesome being by himself; so he decided that he wants to be your Pokémon," Meowth translated.
"Ursa!" Teddiursa charmed.
"Cutie! Adorable!" Jessie cooed.
"Teddiursa, Ursa!" Teddiursa said.
"Our little friend has a pretty big secret, too," Meowth translated.
"Ursa!" Teddiursa said pointing to his right.
"He just said that there's a forest nearby that's got a zillion apple trees in it!" Meowth translated.
"Ah! A zillion apple trees," James beamed.
"We'll get into the apple business!" Jessie said.
"And all those apples will sell just like hotcakes!" James said.
Teddiursa saw how distracted they were and made his move to swipe the three remaining hot corn while they weren't looking. Team Rocket turned to ask Teddiursa how to get there when they saw he was gone.
"Where did it go?" Jessie asked.
"He was standing right here," Meowth said. They all turned around and saw Teddiursa stealing the corn from them.
"That cuzzy little fuzzy-wuzzy is stealing our lunch!" James exclaimed. Teddiursa growls at Team Rocket and then puts on the charm.
"I know, but all because it's just so cute and cuddly, I don't even care!" Jessie cooed.
"Open up your eyes, Jessie!" James chided her.
"That little furrball is even more crooked than we are!" Meowth hissed. Just then, an angry farmer carrying a shovel comes running towards them.
"There ya are! You're them dirty varmits who gone and stole all the corn off of my farm!" The farmer shouted. Team Rocket screams in horror as they started running for it.
"Let's get out of here!" Team Rocket shouted.
"Get the hell back here, ya crooks! Nobody steals mah corn and gets away with it!" The farmer shouted.
Teddiursa watched them run off and took off with the backpack.
Meanwhile over to the group they all looked around and realized that their trail has gone cold.
"We lost him," Kairi groaned.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"That Teddiursa could be miles away from here by now," Sora said.
"If it was just all about food, I wouldn't care so much, but all my sketchbooks are in there. And so is my guidebook," Tracey said.
"We better keep looking then," Sora said. Kairi spotted a Pokémon Center nearby.
"Guys look! There's a Pokémon Center over there!" Kairi said.
"Maybe Nurse Joy should know something that can help us how to find that Teddiursa," Sakura said.
"It's worth asking," Sora said. "Come on." Karen still couldn't believe how such a cute and innocent Pokémon could do such a thing. The group explained about the backpack theft and Nurse Joy was shocked when she heard it.
"Oh no! That's the third report of a backpack theft had this week!" Nurse Joy said.
"Just when a Farfetch'd thief wasn't already bad enough," Sora sighed.
"Did any of the victims mention anything about a Teddiursa?" Kairi asked.
"Yes. But was the Teddiursa you mentioned extra cute, extra cuddly, and sweet as can be?" Nurse Joy asked.
"That's my Teddiursa!" Karen beamed.
"That's how it fools everyobody, I'm afraid," Nurse Joy said. Karen sighed as she hung her head in shame.
"That's how he fooled me," Karen said with regret. She turns to Kairi with a look of regret in her eyes. "Kairi, I'm so sorry for falsely accusing your Pokémon like that."
"It's okay, Karen. What's important is we get that Teddiursa as quick as possible," Kairi said.
"I think I see a pattern. That Teddiursa must be the scary Pokémon Brian had warned us about. He didn't seem that scary to us and he knew we wouldn't see his cute little ruse as a threat," Tracey said.
"And that was until he was caught in the act," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"Let's find that little fuzzball and teach him a lesson he won't forget!" Sora said.
"He's right. Something has to be done about that Teddiursa. It would be best if we all look for it together," Nurse Joy said.
Everyone agreed as they all set off to search for the thieving bear Pokémon.
Over by a lake, Teddiursa was happily eating some corn he stole from Team Rocket when suddenly a net traps Teddiursa in it.
"Prepare for trouble, Teddiursa!"
"Make it double, and things are gonna get worsa!"
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unite all peoples within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!"
"Wobbufet!"
"Meowth! That's right!"
"Mime, Mime!"
"Think you can con us and get away with it?" Jessie asked. "Guess again!"
"Ursa!" Teddiursa said as he cut through the net with his claws. That made Jessie growl with rage.
"We'll have to do this the hard way then!" Jessie growled taking out a Pokéball. "Arbok! Go!" James takes out a Pokéball and tosses it.
"Victreebel, get ready to attack!" James shouted. Victreebel comes out and chomps on James once again. "Wait! I didn't mean a snack attack!"
"Hurry Arbok! Use Your Poison Sting!" Jessie ordered. Arbok fired Poison Sting right at the little bear Pokémon. Teddiursa swipes at Arbok's Poison Sting like it was no problem. Teddiursa swipes at the Cobra Pokémon with his Slash attack and sends Arbok back to the balloon.
"Victreebel! Use your Razor Leaf attack!" James ordered. Victreebel fires Razor Leaf and Teddiursa did the same thing as he did with Arbok's Poison Sting. Teddiursa then swipes at Victreebel with Slash and sends him back to James.
"It looks like a toy, but it ain't playing around with us," Meowth said.
"Wobbufett," Wobbufet said.
Teddiursa fires Swift right at the balloon and sends them flying in the air.
"TEAM ROCKET'S BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" Team Rocket shouted.
Sora, Kairi, Karen, Tracey, Sakura, the Pokémon, and Nurse Joy came by through the woods.
"That tip we got from those two Trainers should help us find Teddiursa," Sora said.
"It should be around here somewhere," Nurse Joy said. They all saw what looks like Team Rocket's hot air balloon flying in the air.
"Was that Team Rocket just now?" Sora asked.
"It sure sounded like them," Kairi said. Sora turned to see the where they came from and spotted Teddiursa.
"Look!" Sora said, pointing to Teddiursa. "There's Teddiursa!"
"And Tracey's backpack, too!" Sakura said.
The group charged towards Teddiursa eating what remained of the hot corn.
"The jig is up, Teddy!" Sora said.
"Give back that backpack this minute!" Kairi added. Teddiursa just refused and took out another loaf of bread and ate it in two bites.
"He's not in the least bit ashamed that he's a liar," Karen said. "And I even trusted you." Karen was about to send out Blossom to deal with Teddiursa when Kairi stepped in.
"I'll take this. That Teddiursa can't frame my Skiploom and Quilava and get away with it," Kairi said, taking out Quilava's Pokéball. "Quilava! Go!" Kairi threw her Pokéball and Quilava came out and he was ready to settle the score. "Flame Wheel!" Quilava runs towards Teddiursa before rolling into a ball of fire on him. Teddiursa fought back with Swift. Then swipes at the Volcano Pokémon with a Slash attack. "You can beat him, Quilava! Flamethrower!" Quilava fires Flamethrower at Teddiursa and he just uses Double Team avoiding Flamethrower.
"Great. Double Team," Sora deadpanned. Teddiursa and the Teddiursa duplicates all swipe at Quilava with Slash.
"I know how to find the real one! Fire a barrage of Flamethrower!" Kairi ordered. Quilava fired Flamethrower at the two of the duplicates and then found the real one. "Found the real one! Finish Teddiursa off with one more Flamethrower!" Quilava fired Flamethrower at Teddiursa, knocking him out. Tracey walks up to the backpack and takes it.
"I believe this is mine," Tracey said as he took off to rejoin the group. Suddenly, Teddiursa started to evolve. Everyone knew what Teddiursa evolves into and took off after the evolution was complete. Teddiursa was now an Ursaring.
Everyone made it back to the Pokémon Center and had some lunch to make up for the one they didn't get to have because of the food thefts.
"Just glad we made it out of there just in the knick of time," Sora said. "And I would like to add, it was a good thing that Teddiursa had evolved into an Ursaring."
"Pika, Pika," Pikachu said.
"Now he'll have to get his own food instead of stealing it, since his charms will no longer work," Kairi said.
"I would feel sorry for some poor sap who would cuddle an Ursaring," Sora laughed. Once they finshed eating up, they continued on towards their journey and for Sora's very next Gym battle.
Later that night, Team Rocket were popping some popcorn in a small pot on a campfire. They were all in a funk.
"It's too bad that farmer caught up with us," Jessie groaned.
"And he made us give him all the money we made. And after all the hard work we did and all the corn we stole," James added.
"And all we have left is this pot of popcorn without any butter," Meowth said. They all turned to their left when they heard some rustling in some nearby bushes. They all saw it was an Ursaring.
"AN URSARING!" Team Rocket exclaimed with fright. The large bear Pokémon approached them and made his small roars.
"I think he's saying that he wants to be our Pokémon because he's lonesome," Meowth translated. Ursaring did a Charm which had little effect on Team Rocket.
"We can work something out," Jessie said.
"Would you like some freshly popped popcorn?" James asked. Ursaring nodded.
"It's nice to meet a Pokémon you can trust!" Meowth said.
"We got us an Ursaring! We got us an Ursaring!" Team Rocket sang as they danced. Ursaring danced along with them. Ursaring grinned. It won't be long until Ursaring will double cross them. But we'll cut it right at this point and continue onward.
