[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

[SINGING]
-Gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all

Pokémon

Narrator:
Our hero Ash,

along with his friends
Misty and Brock,

continues on his quest
to become a Pokémon master.

Tired from their adventures,

they decided to take a break
in a quiet forest.

-Hmm.
Pika.

[SQUEALS]

The air's so fresh,
and the water's beautiful.

What a great place this is
for a rest.

Yeah, it sure is nice

to kick back and relax a little.

-Kangaskhan!
-Huh?

[LAUGHS]

This is fun!

Ash, look out, that tree!

-Huh?
[SCREAMS]

[LOUD CRASH]

[GROANING]

Jungle boy.

He'll never learn.

Pika, pi.

Pikachu.

[GROANING]

Pika?

Pi?

Pika!

Pi!

Pi?

-Pikachu?
Huh?

Pikachu!

Pikachu?

Hey!

Where you going, Pikachu?

Where's Pikachu running to?

I don't know, Misty.

Maybe it saw something
out there in the woods.

Pi?

ALL: Huh?

Pika!

What's that?

It's amazing.

Look at all the Pikachu.

[ALL CHITTERING]

Pika!

[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]

[CRUNCHING]

Those must be wild Pikachu.

I've never seen
so many Pikachu in one place.

Pika, pika!

Pika!

ALL: Pika?

Pi?

Pika?

Pika.

Pika!

Pika.

Pikachu!

[ALL CHITTERING]

ALL: Huh?

Pi?

Pika?

Pi... ka... chu.

Pika.

Pika!
-Pikachu!

-Pika!
-Pika!

-Pi?
-Pi?

ALL: Pi!

[SNIFFING]

Pika?
Pi?

Pika?

Pi.

Pika!

-Pikachu!
-Pikachu.

ALL: Pika.

Pika!

[ALL COOING]

Pikachu!

[ALL CHITTERING]

Aw.

It looks like they've finally
accepted Pikachu

as part of their group.

-All right!
-Huh?

Hey!

I want to be part
of your group too.

Pika, pi!

-Hey, wait up!
Huh?

Chu!

Hey, don't run away.

Quit it, Ash.

But why?

Don't you understand?

Those Pikachu
are scared of you, Ash.

Huh?

Pika.

-I'm sorry, Pikachu.
-Pi.

But why would those Pikachu
be afraid of me?

I wouldn't do anything
to hurt them.

They probably haven't had
much contact with humans before.

Yeah, I don't think
too many people

come this far
into the forest, Ash.

This place must be perfect
for those Pikachu.

You mean like
a Pikachu paradise?

I'd sure hate to do anything

that would disturb
all those Pikachu here.

Yeah, me neither.

Yeah.

[SQUEALING]

Ah!

Pika! Pika!

What's that?

It's one of those Pikachu!

Pika!

-Pika! Pika!
Pika! Pika!

-Pika!
Pikachu!

Ash, we have to try to save it!

Quick.

It's headed for the waterfall!

Pika, pika, pika!

Pikachu!

[BOTH GASP]

Pikachu!

-Pika!
-Pika, pika!

Pi!

Pikachu!

Pika!

Pikachu!

ALL: Pika!

-Pikachu!
-Pikachu!

Pikachu!

Pikachu!

[SCREAMING]

Oh!

Pikachu.

Pika.

Pika!

ALL: Pika! Pika!
Pika! Pika!

Pika! Pika!
Pika! Pika!

Pika! Pika! Pika! Pika!

Pika?

Pika?

-Oh!
Huh?

[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]

Pi.

Pika?

Pi, pi!

Pika?

Pikachu!

Pika.

Pikachu.

ALL: Pika!

ALL: Pika! Pika!
Pika! Pika!

Pika! Pika!
Pika! Pika!

Pika!

[CHUCKLES]

Just look at all of them.

Pikachu to the left.

Pikachu to the right.

Piles of Pikachu everywhere.

If we turn over
this many Pikachu to the boss...

We'll be promoted for sure.

I'm so proud to be part
of this team.

Everything in this forest
is public property.

And we're all members
of the public.

So that means all these
Pikachu are really our property.

BOTH: Right!

[ALL SCREAMING]

ALL: Shh!

[ALL GROANING]

[ALL SINGING]
Cha

Pi, pika, pikachu,

pi, pika, pikachu,

pi, pika, pikachu,

pi, pika, pikachu,

pi, pika, pikachu,

pi, pika, pikachu,

pi, pika, pikachu.

Those Pikachu
sure are having fun.

Looks like it.

Misty, Ash.

Dinner'll be ready
in just a few minutes.

Oh, it looks like Pikachu
sure is fitting in well.

Yeah.

I think it's the best thing
in the world

for Pikachu to be here
with its own kind.

Huh?

Oh.

[ALL SINGING]
Pi, pika, pikachu.

Pi, pika, pikachu.

-Pika, pika!
-Pika!

Oh.

ALL: Who's that Pokémon?

It's Pikachu!

Pikachu!

-Thanks, Brock.
That was a delicious dinner.

-What can I say?
I'm a great cook.

Maybe it's because
the vegetables around here

are so tasty.

Don't you think so, Ash?

Ash?

Hey, Ash!

Huh?

Ash, what's wrong?

Is something bothering you?

You don't look so good.

Do you feel okay?

-Never felt better.
Everything's fine.

[CHOMPING]

[GROANS]

BOTH: Hmm?

This place must be perfect
for those Pikachu.

I think it's the best thing
in the world

for Pikachu to be here
with its own kind.

Here with its own kind.

Oh!

Aw.
Hmm.

ALL: Pika!

BOTH: Ah!

What is that sound?

-Pika.
-Pi.

[ALL SQUEALING]

They're trapped!

Who could have done this
to them?

Pikachu! Pikachu!

-Pika, pi!
Pikachu!

Ah, who's there?

Prepare for trouble.

Make it double.

Those voices.

[LAUGHTER]

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.

Meowth!

ALL: Team Rocket!

ALL: That's right!

We'd like to thank
all of our fans

for their loyalty and support.

This victory is for them.

And now you're about to witness

Team Rocket's
finest performance.

Cut the speeches,
and let's swipe these Pikachu, heh!

You're not swiping anything.

Pikachu, break the ropes
with an Electric Shock.

-Pi.
Pikachu!

Pika, pika.

[LAUGHING]

They're no match for our new
Pikachu insulated seizure net.

You might as well just give up.

It's made from
environmentally safe material

that absorbs electricity.

That's very thoughtful of you.

Let those Pikachu go now.

ALL: Nyah-nyah.

We've got to save the Pikachu.

-Yeah!
-Right!

Why don't you check out
our website?

[ALL YELLING]

Hey, let us out
of this stupid thing!

You're not gonna get away
with this!

[LAUGHS]

Time to make our exit.

BOTH: Roger!

Wait!

[ALL PIKACHU SCREAMING]

Oh! Pikachu!

Pika, pi!

It's a pika-palooza.

We're at the "pika" our powers.

"Chu" can say that again, Jess.

[LAUGHTER]

[ALL GNAWING]

-Ah.
It's good to be on top.

Wha-

We got a pika problem
down below.

BOTH: What?

Huh?

-Quit it!
-Hey! Stop that!

-Pikachus, cut it out.
-What are you doing?

-Stop.
-Hold it.

-Quit it!
-Stop!

Pika!

Ah! It's coming.

Catch it, James!

There, grab it.

All right, we're free!

Watch out, Team Rocket.

Hey, Pikachu, jump onto this!

Hurry up!

Pika!

Chu!

All right, that's the way.

Come on, keep on jumping!

Pika!

Chu!

Pika!

Chu!

Chu!

Pika!

-Pika!
Chu!

-Pikachu.
-Chu!

-Pika!
-Pika.

Pikachu.

This rodent's bugging me.

Huh?

[YELLS]

All the Pikachu
have gotten away!

BOTH: Huh?

ALL: Not again.

But wait.

There's one Pikachu left.

Let's grab it.

[ALL GROAN]

Pika.

-Ah!
-Huh?

ALL: Oh.

We're blasting off again.

Pikachu!

Pika, pi!

-[LAUGHS]
You did it, Pikachu!

Pika, pi!

[LAUGHING]

-Pika, pika!
Pika, pika!

Pi?

Pi!
Pikachu!

-Ah!
Pikachu!

-Pikachu!
-Pika, pika!

Pika!

ALL: Pikachu!

Pikachu!

Pikachu!
Pikachu!

Pikachu! Pikachu!

Pikachu!
Pikachu!

Pikachu! Pikachu!

Pikachu!
Pikachu!

Pikachu!

They all made it back safely.

Yeah.

Ash really trained Pikachu well.

You did a great job, Ash.

Huh?
-Huh?

Ash?

Where are you going, Ash?

What?

You're leaving Pikachu?

That's right.

But, Ash, what are you doing?

This is crazy.

My mind's made up.

Ah!

Pikachu!

-Pika, pi.
Pikachu?

Pikachu, you stay here.

I'm leaving.

I know you'll be much happier

here in the forest
with the other Pikachu.

Pika, pi.

Good-bye, Pikachu.

Pika, pi!

Please don't.

Pika.

All of these Pikachu
here in the forest need you.

So just... good-bye.

BOTH: Huh?
-Pika, pi!

Good-bye.

Pikachu.

[PANTING]

[THINKING] Pikachu
was my very first Pokémon.

[SINGING]
-I close my eyes

And I can see the day we met.

Just one moment and I knew

You're my best friend

I'd do anything for you

We've gone so far

And done so much

And I feel like we've always
been together

Right by my side

Through thick and thin

You're the part of my life

I'll always remember

The time has come

It's for the best, I know it

Who could have guessed
that you and I

Somehow, someday,
we'd have to say good-bye

The time has come

It's for the best, I know it

Who could have guessed
that you and I

Somehow, someway,
we'd have to say good-bye

-[THINKING]
This is for the best,

I guess.

[PANTING]

Ash!

Why are you doing this?

I'm sure Pikachu
will be better off staying here

than traveling around with me.

Pikachu will be happier
this way.

BOTH: Huh?

Huh?

Huh?

Ah!

Pi-

Pikachu!

Pi.

Pi, Pikachu.

Pikachu.

BOTH: Pika, pika.

ALL: Pika!

Pi?

ALL: Pikachu!
Pikachu!

Pikachu!
Pikachu!

What do you think they're doing?

Well, I think
they might be cheering.

BOTH: Huh?

For Ash and for Pikachu.

ALL: Pikachu!
Pikachu!

Pikachu!
Pikachu!

Pikachu!

Pika, pi!

Pikachu!

Ah!

[LAUGHS]

ALL: Pikachu!
Pikachu!

Pikachu!
Pikachu!

Pikachu! Pikachu!

Pikachu!

Narrator:
Another adventure

has brought Ash and Pikachu
even closer.

In their hearts,
they know they'll go on

to face every challenge
together.

Don't go away.

The Pokérap is next.

It's the ultimate test.

At least or more to see

To be a Pokémon master
is my destiny

Not bad, not bad.

Hey, don't get cocky.

Tomorrow's the hardest part.

We're on our way
