[SINGING]
-I want to be the very best

Like no one ever was

To catch them is my real test

To train them is my cause

I will travel across the land

Searching far and wide

Each Pokémon to understand

The power that's inside

Pokémon, gotta catch 'em all

It's you and me

[CRASH!]

I know it's my destiny

Pokémon

Oh, you're my best friend

In a world we must defend

Pokémon, gotta catch 'em all

A heart so true

Our courage will pull us through

You teach me and I'll teach you

Pokémon

Gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all

Pokémon

Gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all

Pokémon

NARRATOR: Last time,
Magikarp evolved into Gyarados,

and our heroes were swallowed up

in the deadly power
of its Dragon Rage.

[ALL SCREAMING]

-Hey, Brock!
Misty!

Pikachu!

Whatever happens, don't let go!

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Pika!

[SCREAMING]

Narrator:
Talk about twists of fate!

Round and round they go.

Where they'll stop,
even I don't know.

[GROANING]

How did I get on a beach?

Ahh!

Misty!
Misty, get up!

Hey, Brock!

[GROANS]

How did we get here?

How did we survive that cyclone?

Hey, we were lucky.

But where did Pikachu go?

Ahh!

I only have two of my Pokémon!

[LEGS CLATTERING]

[GRUNTS]

[GIGGLES]

[BOTH YELL]

Oh.

-Could it be-
-Does this mean-

Both:
We survived again!

We're the completely
invincible...

Unbeatable...

Both:
Team Rocket!

Huh?

But I don't hear any annoying...

Complaining.

Both:
Meowth is missing!

Oh!

I've lost the Pokéball

with the Ekans I got
for my birthday last year.

Oh, the Pokéball
with the Koffing

I got for Christmas is gone too.

And we're totally broke!

We're penniless and poké-less.

[SIGHS]

How will we survive?

Time is running out
for the both of us.

We could always call for help.

-Huh?
-Look over there.

A phone booth.

Aren't we lucky?

Now we can call
someone for help.

But we don't have any change.

And without any change...

Both:
Our luck sure has changed.

Char.

Squirtle.

Pi?

Pika?

Pika pi?

Char.

-Pika?
-Char.

[LAUGHS]

Squirt, squirt, squirt!

So Pikachu
and his friends survived?

Hah!

That means I can finally
get my revenge.

All right, Pokémon, surrender!

-Squirt?
-Char?

Team Rocket, blast off
at the speed of light.

Surrender now,
or prepare to fight!

[ALL GROAN]

I guess the Team Rocket motto
is starting to lose its impact.

Never mind!

Okay, guys, go get them!

Huh?

Hey!

I said go get them!

Wha?

Mm-hmm.

Right.

Masters?

I'm twice as smart
as those ... watt lightbulbs

you're calling masters!

Come on,
we're all bad guys here.

We don't need masters to tell us
to go out and do bad stuff.

There's no such thing
as a bad Pokémon?

It can't be!

My master's not around,

and I always seem
to act like a rat.

This ain't fair.

You got me outnumbered.

Hey, I could use
a little help over here!

[SLURPS]

Ahh!

It's no use.

Oh, well, I guess
I'll let you guys off easy

and call it a draw.

[FIRE CRACKLES]

[ALL CHOMPING]

-Hey, guys!
-Ka?

Ain't you ever gonna stop
stuffing your faces

and give Meowth
something to eat?

I don't apologize!

Stop making fun of me!

Untie me and give me
something to eat!

Huh?
-Squirtle?

[GROUND RUMBLING]

[WHIMPERS]

[ROARS]

[ALL SCREAMING]

That's one big Pokémon.

Wait!

Somebody come and untie me!

Huh?

Hmm.

I could've gotten out myself.

[PANTING]

[SQUAWKING]

Ahh!

[ALL GROANING]

[SQUAWKING]

[ALL SIGH]

I've never seen a flying
Pokémon like that before.

Ah, me neither.

It's one of the most incredible
Pokémon I've ever seen.

Ash, this place
is really dangerous.

We really ought to try
to find a safe spot

to crash for the night.

Hmm, right.

[THINKING]
Be careful, Pikachu-

All of you.

Just stick together.

[BOTH SCREAMING]

What is that thing?

I don't want
to stop to find out!

[SCREECHES]

Good thing
we hid behind this sign.

Yeah, maybe
our luck is changing.

[BOTH GROAN]

Both:
It's a good sign.

ALL: Who's that Pokémon?

It's Slowbro!

Slowbro.

[ALL SOBBING]

Pika, pika.

Bulba, bulba.

Squirtle, squirtle.

[ALL SOBBING]

[SOBBING CONTINUES]

[ALL SNORING]

Let's go.

We got to find Pikachu
and the others.

[YAWNS]

-Sun's up.
-It's morning.

Both:
That means

we'd better run for cover!

Uh, pardon me,
but where are we running?

To make a phone call.

Huh?

But, Jessie,
we don't have any money.

There's one number
we can always call for free.

Huh?

Hello, operator,

I'd like to put this call
through collect please.

Who'd accept the charges?

Hello, boss?

The boss?

You fools had better
have a very good reason

for calling me this early
in the morning.

Yes, but first,
we must do the introduction.

What?

Prepare for trouble.

Yes, and make it double.

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,
blast off at the speed of light!

Surrender now
or prepare to fight.

Nitwits!

How dare you annoy me
with your nonsense.

Don't ever bother me
like this again.

[LINE CLICKS]

Well, I suppose we'll have to
get off this island ourselves.

The phone didn't help.

But it will.

But where will this
telephone cable lead us?

It must lead
to the phone company.

The people there can help us
get off the island.

Good point.

And if we stay
inside this booth the whole way,

we'll be safe.

Pikachu!

Squirtle!

Charmander!

Bulbasaur!

Oh, where could
they all have gone?

[BOTH PANTING]

Jessie, hauling
this phone booth is exhausting.

Well, you could use
a good workout.

Both:
Huh?

JAMES: Is that a mirage?

Pikachu doesn't even see us.

So we'll have
no trouble catching it.

Both:
Come to us, Pikachu.

[BOTH GASP]

It is a mirage.

A really big mirage.

Both:
It's big-achu!

[BOTH SCREAM]

[ALL GASP]

ALL: Let's get out of here!

[ROARS]

[ALL SCREAMING]

It looks like a Charizard.

An evolved Charmander?

But much bigger.

This is Squirtle's evolved form,

a Blastoise.

Squirtle!

[ALL GROAN]

Squirtle...

[ALL SCREAMING]

[GROWLING]

That's a Venusaur,

evolved from a Bulbasaur.

[BOTH SCREAMING]

This is a nightmare!

Well, I hope we wake up soon!

There's a rail car!

Let's hop in
and make a run for it!

Hurry!

Let's go!

[METAL SCREECHES]

Don't tell me we're...

Both:
Going back the way we came!

[BOTH SCREAMING]

Jessie, we've
got to do something!

Let's hit the brake
and run for it.

-Right.
-One.

-Two.
BOTH: Three!

Pull!

Huh?

Both:
Runaway train!

[ALL PANTING]

[ALL GASP]

Pikachu!

Ahh!

Pikachu?

Jumbo-sized!

[RUMBLING]

Huh?

I wonder what that is.

[ALL SCREAMING]

[ALL SCREAMING]

Now we've got you
just where we want you.

Hand over Pikachu.

Huh?

[BOTH SCREAM]

But not that big one!

Ash, look!

Back there!

Ahh!

[ALL SCREAMING]

Pikachu!

Pika pi!

-Squirtle!
Charmander!

Bulbasaur!

They'll all be trampled
if you don't do something!

Stop the car right now!

We can't do that.

-We can't stop.
The brake's broken.

Give me a break.

[ALL SCREAMING]

We've just got to help them!

-Huh?
Ash, up ahead!

Huh?

What is it?

Prepare for big trouble!

Make it double.

And I can't stand
roller coasters!

What do we do?

Hold on tight!

[SCREAMS]

Stop the ride.
Stop the ride.

I want to get off!

Whoa!

[ALL SCREAMING]

We're gonna crash!

[ALL GRUNTING]

Come on, jump in!

Pika!

[ALL YELLING]

[LAUGHTER]

[GROANING AND HISSING]

Pika!

[LAUGHS]

Are you okay?

Pikachu!

Wow, we made it!

Is everybody here?

Aren't we missing someone?

The furriest member of our team.

You mean Meowth?

Both:
Ahh!

You're safe.

How did you make it?

[LAUGHS]

I cat-apulted!

[SCREECHES]

[ALL SCREAMING]

They're after us!

Maybe our luck will hold out!

Well, based on our recent
run of luck,

I would say the cable
should snap.

That should happen about now.

[MOANS]

Next, we'll be hurled
into the air.

[ALL YELL]

Then we'll probably
crash into something.

[ALL SCREAMING]

That's weird.

Looks like that was
a mechanical Pokémon.

Boom!

And then, finally...

We hit the water...

After a very, very long drop!

[SPLASH!]

GUIDE: Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to Pokémon Land.

Here, you'll see various Pokémon

at over ten times
their natural size.

Of course, the Pokémon
are all mechanical,

so don't worry.

It's very safe.

Now, if you'll
look to your left-

[GASPS]

[TINNY CALLIOPE MUSIC]

We apologize,
ladies and gentlemen,

but our giant Pokémon
are temporarily out of order.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

Yes.

What?

Pokémon Land
has been totally destroyed?

[GROWLS]

I spent millions on that place.

Narrator:
Finally, our tired heroes

resume their long journey...

Huh?

[ALL GASP]

NARRATOR: And arrive
at the beautiful town

of Porta Vista.

[RELAXED UKULELE MUSIC]

All right!

All:
The beach!

ASH: I can't wait!
MISTY: Let's go swimming!

NARRATOR: Ah, yes,
blue skies and white sands.

Time to hit the surf
and soak up some rays.

Don't forget to use
lots of sunscreen, Ash.

[SIGHS]

Slowpoke.

[SIGHS]

Slowpoke slow.

Ahh, Slowbro.

Don't go away.

The Pokérap is next!

Pokémon!

You guys up for the Pokérap?

There's Pokémon.

You got to name them all.

I'm doing today,
so try to keep up.

-[SINGING]
Catch 'em, catch 'em

Gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all, Pokémon

Gotta catch 'em all,
gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all,
gotta catch 'em all

At least or more to see

To be a Pokémon master
is my destiny

All right, how'd you do?

-Loosen those lips.
Shake out that tongue.

-Give it a rest.
Today's song is sung.

We'll be back tomorrow.

[SINGING]
-Catch 'em, catch 'em

Gotta catch 'em all,
gotta catch 'em all
