Niko: Cool! Check out this giant lake!

Duplica: It's so beautiful.

Kota: Hmm. If memory serves, this lake is known as Lake Slowpoke. It's also called the Lake of Enlightenment.

Niko: Lake of Enlightenment? What's that?

Duplica: Beats me.

Kota: Enlightenment. It means to gain higher knowledge.

Niko: I think I get it. He said but was still having trouble understanding.

Eevee: Vee. (I don't)

Jessie & James: HAHAHAHA!!!

Jessie: They don't know what enlightenment means.

James: Then maybe it's time we enlighten them!

Kota: Huh?! Who's there!?

Jessie: Prepare for trouble from under the ground!

James: And make it double with a deafening sound! They burst through the ground.

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: Enlightened Jessie.

James: Enlightened James.

Jessie: All-knowing Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!

James: Surrender now and face the truth, or prepare to fight, fight, fight!

Meowth: Meowth! Dat's right!

Niko: You guys again!?

Duplica: You three are as enlightened as a dim lightbulb!

Kota: But this is odd. You three don't show up so early.

Niko: Yeah.

Jessie: True, we used to spend our mornings digging holes and waiting around for that twerp and his Pikachu to fall into them.

James: We've tried that whole dig a hole and wait plan a hundred times and it rarely works.

Meowth: But we've got a special one for you twerps!

Jessie: So now, first we dig the hole...

James: Then we wait for you to come along...

Meowth: And den we pop out!
