[UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC]

[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

Narrator:
Ash and his friends

arrive in Celadon City,

the great metropolis renowned
for both its tall buildings

and for its good scents.

Pika!

[SNIFFS]

Something smells heavenly.

Perfume.

Hey, what's going on?

-[SNIFFS]
Mm.

Wait, Brock!

Where are you going?

Who are you making faces at,
Brock?

My nose tells me
that this is my kind of town.

Huh?

So then he says
maybe we can both go together.

I think
we should stay here a while.

Well,
if you wanna waste your time...

Misty, Pikachu,
let's get moving.

Misty?

Pikachu?

Hmm?

This scent
is one of our most popular.

It's called "Daffodil Dreams."

[SNIFFS]

It smells just like a garden.

Pika!

We're having a fragrance sale.

How much does this one cost?

Pikachu!

Don't buy it, Misty!

Perfume's just a waste
of money, and it stinks!

Go away!

I resent that remark.

MISTY: The manager!

Young man, are you accusing
me of overcharging my customers

for inferior perfume?

Uh, no, ma'am.

I meant all perfumes
are a rip-off,

'cause all they do is turn
guys into zombies, like this!

Hi, what's your name?

Hmm.

"P" for pretty, "e" for elegant,

"r" for radiant, "f" for fun,

"u" for urbane,
"m" for mysterious,

"e" for energy, and that spells-

-Perfume!
-Right!

Pika!

I don't need that smelly junk
to give me energy!

I'm full of it.

I got tons more energy
than I know what to do with!

Why don't you use some of it
to keep your mouth shut?

If you object to our products
so much,

perhaps you should leave,

since we all sell perfume here,
you must find us offensive!

You should be ashamed
of yourself!

You insensitive little worm!

What did I say?

Get out and don't come back!

I don't wanna come back!

I'm on my way
to the Celadon City Gym.

ASH: What do you mean,
I can't I come in?

I'm trying to become
a Pokémon master!

I wouldn't let you in

if you were the last
Pokémon trainer on earth.

This gym
doesn't allow anyone inside

who says that perfume
is a stinky rip-off!

Why not?

We manufacture that stinky
perfume right here in this gym.

Uh-oh.

So you see, young man...

You're the stinker!

Ah...

But don't ya understand?

I got to challenge your gym
master so I can win a badge!

You got to let me in!

Uh...

[BLOWS RASPBERRY]

Ah...

Pretty please,
with a cherry on top?

Looks like the coast is clear.

Once we break inside,

we'll steal the secret formula
for their perfume.

Then I'll be as irresistible
as Cleopatra!

I'll sell the formula and make
myself zillions of bucks!

That's enough money
to buy my own country,

or my own planet even!

Or nine lifetime supplies
of cat grub!

That secret formula's got to
be hidden around here somewhere.

Hmm, now where could it be?

Hmm.

Huh...

Ah!

What is it?

Hey, look!

What's a Gloom doing here?

Taking a nap, I think.

[MOANING]

James, you've woken it up!

Go, Koffing!

Poison Gas Attack, now!

Koffing!

That Gloom just sucked up
all of Koffing's gas!

I can't believe it!

Gloom?

[ALL YELL]

Gloom, Gloom!

[GAGGING]

It smells terrible!

It smells like old sneakers

mixed with some rotten eggs

and dead fish with just a hint
of skunk fumes.

My nose feels like it's on fire!

Meowth, you don't have a nose!

Huh?

My nose!
What happened?

The stink
dissolved it off my face!

Hmm?

Oh, oh, yeah, I almost forgot!

The cartoonist
never gave me a nose.

Hey, why are you sleeping?

That stopped them!

Gym rules:
No thieves allowed!

MEOWTH: Hey,
get me down!

Get me out of here!

You two clowns
better get me out of this tree!

Don't tell me what to do,
you little hair ball!

I know what I'm doing.

Are you three hanging out again?

The pest.

Please, could you help us
get out of this tree?

Traitor!

How dare you collaborate
with the enemy?

Whose side are you on?

-Hmm.
Hey, kid.

Bet they wouldn't let you
in that gym today.

That's none of your business.

They kicked ya out.

Even though you're a pest,
I'll make a deal.

Untie us and we'll show you
how to get in that gym.

Why should I trust you?

Face the facts, boy.

You can't get into
the Pokémon League

without winning more badges.

Bing...

-Bong...
-Bing!

ALL: Ta-da!

Oh!

Great wig!

Not even your own mother would
recognize you in this outfit.

Think so?

Talk about dressing for success,

that getup will get you
into the gym easy.

Great!

Then I'll show that gym leader
who's the boss around here.

Uh, that doesn't sound
very ladylike.

Huh?

You'll give away your secret!

Go on, try it.

Try it.

[CLEARS THROAT]

[HIGH-PITCHED VOICE]
I'll show those meanies!

[BOTH LAUGH]

Good evening.

We would like to enroll
our daughter, Ashley,

in your Pokémon
training classes.

Nothing but the best
for our little princess.

That's right!

Ow!

Hmm?

Do you like perfume?

Oh, yes.

Well, then,
I'm sure you'll be accepted.

Your parents should apply
at the desk.

Way to scam 'em, Goldilocks!

GIRL: Are you applying to the
gym, little girl?

Uh, yeah!

Oh!

[THINKING]
The girl in the perfume shop!

[HIGH-PITCHED VOICE]
I mean, yes, ma'am.

We're so proud to have
our little muffin in your gym.

Yes, we sure are!

Ma'am, where is Erika,
the gym master?

Oh, you'll meet her soon.

-[THINKING]
All right!

Now all I gotta do
is beat Erika,

and I'll get another badge!

Bu-bye!

Hugs and kisses, Ashley!

Mommy and daddy are leaving you

to battle
those cute little Pokémon!

Bye, sweetie!

See you soon!

While that clueless little twerp
creates a distraction,

we'll steal
the secret perfume formula!

Let's go!

Just one question:

What am I supposed to do
with this Blaster Ball?

Stick it someplace where
it'll make a nice, big kaboom!

[CACKLES]

MEOWTH: They'll get a bang out
of this!

Jessie,
what's the Blaster Ball for?

Sweet revenge
for stamping an "x"

on the most beautiful face
in the world!

Talk about delusions...

What?

Er-I mean,
that'll teach those slobs!

[BOTH LAUGH]

TOGETHER: Who's that Pokémon?

It's Gloom!

Gloom, gloom!

One, two, one, two, one, two...

Remember, a pretty Pokémon
is a strong Pokémon.

ERIKA: And so Omanyte bid
farewell

and promised to one day return
to visit the friends

who changed his life
on that faraway beach.

The end.

Great story!

Pika!

Uh-oh!

How'd Misty and Brock get here?

GIRL: Trainer Erika!

Erika!

I'd like to introduce
our new student.

Oh, welcome.

Ah!

[THINKING]
The store manager!

Oh...

Nice to meet you.

Thank you, ma'am.

You sure are a shy young lady,
but don't worry.

All the girls
want to make you feel at home

here at the gym.

Let's all give her
a warm welcome.

Pikachu!

-[THINKING]
Oh, great.

Pikachu's here too!

May I ask you a question?

Of course you may, Misty.

I was wondering why
we can all sit with Gloom.

I always thought that
because of its terrible smell,

it was almost impossible
to get anywhere near Gloom.

So how come this Gloom
doesn't smell bad to me at all?

That's a very smart question,
Misty.

Gloom doesn't have a bad smell
all the time.

Whenever Gloom is in danger,
it lets out the bad smell.

It's a natural
defense mechanism.

But as long as Gloom
doesn't feel threatened,

it smells just fine.

Just make sure Gloom feels safe

and show
you want to be its friend.

How do you know all that?

I met Gloom a long time ago.

[CRYING]

[GROWLING]

ERIKA: When I was a little
girl,

I got lost one day
and ran into a Grimer.

I'd never been so scared!

I couldn't even move.

Please, can you help me?

Please, help me!

Somehow that Gloom understood
how scared I felt

and decided
to come to my rescue.

Gloom!

[YELLING]

I love you!

Gloom!

This is the same Gloom that
rescued me from Grimer that day.

We've been friends ever since!

It's all because
of her friendship with Gloom

that Erika decided to become
a grass Pokémon trainer.

I wish Ash could've heard
that story.

I heard it.

[ALL GASP]

Oh, uh, please don't stare
at me like that.

I'm a very shy little girl!

You look awfully familiar.

Haven't we met someplace before?

Maybe you met my sister.

Pi?

Ah!

Pika-pi!

Hey, knock it off!

Pika!

[ZAPPING]

-It's Ash!
-It's Ash!

Yeah, it's me.

You're that boy!

Erika, you wouldn't let me in,

so I wore this stupid disguise!

I had to sneak into your gym so
I could battle you for a badge!

And now I want to challenge you!

[LAUGHS]

At last we've found the perfume!

Now we'll unlock
its secret formula.

I accept your challenge.

It's my duty
under the league rules.

We'll each use three Pokémon.

ASH: Right.

I'll use my own
grass Pokémon against yours!

Bulbasaur, I choose you!

Bulbasaur!

This ought to be easy.

Tangela, I choose you!

[HIGH-PITCHED SQUEAL]

What's that?

[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Tangela,
a vine Pokémon.

Its body is wrapped in vines.

The rest of its form
is hidden beneath these vines.

That doesn't tell me much.

All right,
we'll attack from a distance!

Bulbasaur, Vine Whip!

Tangela, Constrict!

Resist it from pulling you in!

Bulbasaur! Bulbasaur!

Ah!

Tangela,

now is the time
to hit it with your Stun Spore!

Return, Bulbasaur!

Poor Bulbasaur!

Later I'll give you
some Paralyz Heal

to make your Pokémon better.

Thanks, but no thanks.

I don't need your help!

I choose Primeape!

Uh, maybe I better not.

Charmander, go!

Charman!

This should be easy.

Weepinbell, go!

Weepinbell, Razor Leaf now!

Charmander,
Flamethrower, full blast!

Char!

[GASPS]

Yes, way to go.

Now let's just finish it up!

Skull Bash, now!

[expl*si*n]

Oh!

Weepinbell, return now!

Ash is doing well.

He might actually win!

Yeah, he's a lot more
impressive than he looks.

ERIKA: Your battle skills
are impressive, Ash.

But there's one thing
you don't have:

empathy with your Pokémon.

Without it, you'll never become
a great Pokémon trainer like me.

Now I'm going to give you
a lesson in empathy!

Gloom, go!

Gloom.

[BOTH GASP]

Gloom!

Ah! Ah!

Charmander, return!

[LAUGHS]

Poor Ash!

Your Pokémon
could use some more training.

-[THINKING]
If Gloom beat Charmander,

what Pokémon can I use next?

Squirtle, Pidgeotto, and Pikachu

couldn't take
that terrible smell.

Chu!

Pikachu?

Pika!

You're saying
you want to battle?

Pikachu.

You know
you're probably gonna lose,

but you're still willing
to battle Gloom to help me out?

Pika, pika!

What?

You say you're sure you'll win?

-Pikachu!
Pika-pi!

Oh, Pikachu!

Heartwarming,
but what's that smell?

What?

Your Pokémon skills

are stinking up this gym
even worse than Gloom.

MISTY: It's Team Rocket!

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!

And last, but not least,

to blast this dump sky-high!

Jessie!

[expl*si*n]

Where did you put
that Blast Ball?

Near us so I wouldn't lose it!

At least we get
this lovely parting gift,

their secret perfume formula!

What?

BOTH: Team Rocket's
blasting off again!

Quick, girls,

we've got to rescue
all the Pokémon fast!

Quick, now!

Get into the Pokéball,
and I'll carry you to safety!

-Hurry!
-There's some over here!

There's a Pokémon!

We've got to get them all.

[ALL YELLING INDISTINCTLY]

Call the fire department!

They're on their way.

[WATER SPRAYING]

-[THINKING]
I should ever have listened

to Team Rocket.

Don't just stand around, Ash!

Help us to put out the fire

before this whole gym
is burnt to the ground!

Yeah, right!

Squirtle, Water g*n!

Staryu, Starmie,

help us out, now!

Squirtle!

Geodude!

Throw as much dirt as you can
on the flames!

Geodude, geodude, geodude.

Keep on spraying!

We've almost got it!

[PANTING]

Erika, what's the matter?

I've looked and looked,
but I can't find Gloom anywhere!

Did Gloom get out?

What if Gloom-

What if Gloom's still inside?

[FLAMES CRACKLING]

Ah!

You can't go in there, Erika!

But Gloom may be trapped inside!

I'll go in and find Gloom!

Don't, Ash!

[FLAMES CRACKLING]

Gloom?

Gloom!

Huh?

Ah!

Gloom, gloom!

Don't worry, Gloom.

I promise
I'll get you out of here!

Ah!

I can't get closer
to that smell!

Gloom!

Ah!

It's okay, Gloom!

It's gonna be okay!

[MUMBLED YELL]

It's too much!

I can't hold my breath
any longer!

[EXHALES]

Huh?

There's no smell.

Ah!

As long as Gloom
doesn't feel threatened,

it smells just fine.

Just make sure Gloom feels safe

and show
you want to be its friend.

Hmm.

Come on.

Let's go, Gloom!

Gloom, gloom!

[FLAMES CRACKLING]

[WATER SPRAYING]

Pikachu.

[ALL GASP]

[ALL EXCLAIM]

BROCK: Ash!

MISTY: That was great!

ERIKA: Thank you, Ash!

ERIKA: With deep gratitude,

I present you
with this Rainbow Badge.

What's that for?

I think you earned it.

Don't you, Gloom?

Gloom, gloom!

Thanks a lot!

Take a look, Pikachu.

A Rainbow Badge.

Pi-pikachu!

Gloom, gloom!

Congratulations, Ash.

Thanks.

Uh, but what about Team Rocket?

They got away with
your secret perfume formula.

[GIGGLES]

No, they didn't.

The bottle they stole

has only one of our
perfume's secret ingredients:

Essence of Gloom.

[ALL YELLING]

It stinks!

Just like your plan.

You said it!

NARRATOR: And so, in the race
for a Rainbow Badge,

it's Ash by a nose!

But most valuable of all,

Ash has learned
an important lesson:

you can't judge a Pokémon
by its smell.

Don't go away.

The Pokérap is next.

Okay, guys,
we got to rap some Pokémon.

You just do the singing.

I'll take care of the hard part.

Let's get it on.

-[SINGING]
I want to be the best

There ever was

To beat all the rest

Yeah, that's my cause

[SINGING]
-Catch 'em, catch 'em

Gotta catch 'em all

I'll search across the land

Look far and wide

Release from my hand
the power that's inside

- down.
That's it for now.

Tune in tomorrow.

We'll rap at ya some more.

There's ,
so watch Monday through Friday.

You'll catch 'em all!

Catch 'em, catch 'em

Gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all
