Narrator: While hiking
to their next adventure,

our young heroes find a
picture-perfect spot to set up camp.

Now ash can finally begin
training for the pokémon league.

Unless of course, something
more interesting comes along.

Jigglypuff.

Ash: Lights! Camera!
Quack-tion!

Yeah! The pokémon league's
gonna be a blast!

Just like my chili!

Blecch.

Aah!
Aah!

It's too spicy!

I guess I made it too hot.

Next time make it chillier.

Girl: Excuse me. Are you
pokémon trainers, too?

Huh?

Uh, hi there!
My name's Brock,

and I'm a pokémon
breeder in training,

and it's very nice to meet you.

By the way, what's your name,

and do you have a boyfriend?

Let's go, Romeo.

Let's go bury that chili
before somebody gets hurt.

Brock: I didn't even
get her name.

[Laughs]

My name is Katrina,

and I'm a pokémon trainer
who's looking for a good battle.

Why don't we skip all the small
talk and get right to the fun?

Go...

Raichu!

Ay ay. Bah...

A Raichu, huh? This battle's
gonna be really awesome!

Pika.

Raichu!
Pikachu!

Go!
Go!

Aah!

[Both gasp]

[Laughing]

James: It's time for
a network news flash.

Team rocket has
just snagged a Pikachu.

Pika.

Pika?

What did we catch?

Ayy!

Raichu is bad news
for you crooks.

Raichie, thunderbolt attack!

Aah!
Aah!

Way to go!
Now mega kick!

Yii yaa!

Man: Cut! Cut!

Huh?
Huh?

Man: Cut!

Fabulous! Ha ha!

I loved it!

You're in my way.

Now we'll take a Crane shot

looking down on the battle
scene and moving in on our villains...

Ending on an extreme closeup
of the losers!

Hmm... that's the money shot!

Nobody calls us losers!

Prepare for trouble.

No stunt double.

Wait a second. Aren't
those our lines?

To protect the movies
from devastation,

to restore spectacle
and imagination,

to make great epics
of hate and love,

to direct the best films
you ever heard of...

Cleavon schpielbunk!

Winner of the golden growlithe

for best director at the
flea collar film festival!

Lights! Camera!

Hit your Mark
when I call "action"

or prepare to fight!

That's right!

Who's he?

I dunno.

Ohhh...

All kids today care about is
those crazy cartoon shows!

Mr. Schpielbunk,
you're my hero!

You directed my absolute
most favorite movie of all time...

I saw what you ate last Tuesday.

Ah, you made that?
Wow! I almost saw that one!

Well, it's nice to know there are some
young people who go to see great films,

even if they lose millions
at the box office.

[Sobs]

Yeah? So what's a
famous movie director

doing in the middle of nowhere?

Good question.

Actually, I've been
conducting a talent search

for some fresh new faces
to star in my latest film.

You're in luck.

I took semesters
of stage movement

at a respected
correspondence school.

I'm an experienced actress.

In first grade, I portrayed a worm
who lived inside a rotten apple.

Oh...

I should have mentioned...

I'm only using pokémon actors
in my next production.

Oh...
Oh...

Wow! You're making a movie
with just pokémon?

Uh-uh. It's a love story.

But it's also got lots of action
and plenty of suspense.

And here's a sneak preview.

The star of my film will be...

Wigglytuff.

Wiggly...

Uh... wigglytuff?

Ha ha!

If that's the star,

it's gonna be a real snoozefest.

Ha ha ha!

Oh! Aah! Oh! Unhh!
Aah! Ooh! Waa! Ugh!

I'm star struck!

With a doubleslap attack
that strong,

wigglytuff could be a superstar.

I'd be careful not to step
on any of wigglytuff's lines.

Just look at that face.

Hard to believe something
so cute could be such a brute.

Brute?

Huh?

Aah!
All yii yii!

Uhh!

Ooh...
Ohh...

Wigglytuff's kinda touchy.

It's a real prima Donna.

Takes one to know one.

Huh? Know one what?

Oh...

Abra was going to costar,
but wigglytuff was too tough,

and abra teleported off the set!

So now I have to find
another pokémon actor

to costar in the movie
with wigglytuff.

This movie will be seen
by millions!

The pokémon I cast is going to
become a Major motion picture star!

Wiggly.

[Chattering]

I think you're too young
for the part, togepi.

Togepi!

Good luck with your
audition, Pikachu!

Pika, pika.

Sorry, ash, but vulpix
is perfect for the part!

Vulpix.

The first name
in Staryu is star.

OK, Staryu, here's
your chance to...

Psy!
Ugh.

Psy?

Maybe it's a horror movie.

My star has to do more than act!

OK! Start the music!

A real star's gotta
be able to dance, too!

Chorus:
♪ pokémon-mon-mon ♪

♪ pokémon-mon-mon... ♪

I'm dancin'!

, , , .

Kick, ball, change.

Char...

Wee...
Wee...

Arbok! Don't
just float there!

Break-dance with
your wrap attack!

Weezing! Turn your
tackle into a tango!

Vulpix!

Vulpix!

Psy-yi.

Psy-yi.

Psy-yi.

Psyduck!

That's great! Beautiful!

But I've narrowed the choice
down to these pokémon.

Pikachu and Raichu!

Pikachu!

Raichu!

Yes!

And arbok and Weezing!

I'm so proud!

Weezing!
Weezing!

Eh... eh...

Aah!

Vulpix and Psyduck!

Duck!
Vul!

Awesome!
Awesome!

And last but not least...

Oh, no! I'm blowing
my big break!

I'd better dance my paws off.

He's just gotta pick me out!

I choose...

You... Meowth!

He... chose... me!

Yeee... ooowwwww!

Next, let's hear ya sing!

[Yawns]

Whaa!

[Gasps] Our faces!

Whaaaaaa!

[Yells]

[Everybody shouting]

People! Or whatever!

You must sing with wigglytuff
to win this role.

Ha ha ha!
Wigglytuff.

Sorry, wigglytuff.
I work alone.

Huh?

Wiggly!

Ah! Oh! Ooh!
Eee! Eee!

Ooh!
Ah! Eee! Ah!

Hmm. That wigglytuff's
more tough than wiggly.

For my first number...

Oooh... waaah...

Sing your snaky soul out, arbok!

This could be your one
and only shot at stardom.

Work those windpipes, Weezing!

[Trying to sing]

Wiggly!

Wigglyyyyy!

Tuuuffff!

Poor arbok.

Poor Weezing.

Huh?!
Huh?!

Whoa!
Whoa!

Humph!

Arbok! Meowth! Weezing!

You three are
out of the picture!

How dare you not cast
one of team rocket's pokémon

to star in your lousy movie!

Arbok, Weezing, let's
teach this hack a lesson.

Huh?
Hmm?

Where did arbok go?

Weezing was just here
a second ago, too.

Huh?
Huh?

[Groaning]

They're taking this pretty hard.

Togepi!

We won't forget this!

Don't worry! We know
you're talented!

You can always do television!

Hey! Don't leave me here
with that wigglytuff!

Come back!
We're your biggest fans!

We're your only fans!

Well, I guess
that's show business.

It's a rough business.

You get slapped by
critics and co-stars.

Mm-hmm!

Pika, pika...

Huh? Huh?

Psy...

Oh, Psyduck!

You're too dumb to
know how dumb you are!

Toge! Toge!

Aww! Since Psyduck's
the only pokémon left,

Psyduck gets the part!

[Fanfare plays]

Huh?! Huh?! Huh?!

Duck!

Who's that pokémon?!

[Snoring]

You said it, Psyduck.

Now that you're gonna
be a celebrity,

I'm glad you don't
have any brains.

Psyduck.

Hey, maybe it's
not dumb after all.

Maybe Psyduck's
just acting dumb.

Pika, pika.

We're ready to begin
setting up our first big scene.

Mr. Schpielbunk, how would you
describe this movie in one word?

Brilliant.

Well, OK.

Let me give you
a little preview.

Oh.
Oh.

This is my own original story
about love-struck pokémon.

As the movie begins,

wigglytuff and Psyduck
have just started going out.

Psyduck brings wigglytuff home
after their first date.

Psyduck serenades our heroine
under a full moon.

It looks like smooth sailing
romance-wise,

but their feuding families
want to drive them apart.

We love each other so.

Why can't you live and let love?

Then... heartbreak.

As a stray arrow heads
straight for wigglytuff...

Duck! Duck! Duck!

Oh!
Oh!

Psyduck leaps in the arrow's
path in the Nick of time.

But Psyduck has been
mortally wounded.

It sighs its last psy
in wigglytuff's arms.

The tragedy brings the families
together and their feud ends at last.

Oh, I can see it now.

It'll win tons of awards
and clean up at the box office.

That story doesn't
sound original. Aah!

It sounds like a masterpiece.

I want to see it again.

I'd be honored to
work on this movie, sir.

Me, too.

I'll do it for free.

So would I.

Well, why not?
I could use some help.

Huh?!
Really?

Oh, wow!
Yeah!

This is our luckiest
day ever, right, Brock?

Mine, too.

Schpielbunk: OK, let's
set up for the first scene.

Hmm...
Lucky day, is it?

They won't feel so lucky when
they see their new costars.

Arbok.

You, too, Weezing.

Huh?
Huh?

Don't tell me you two
are still moping?

[Whines]

[Whines]

They had their heart
set on stardom,

but the movies chewed them up

and spit 'em out
like yesterday's popcorn.

Jessy: Snap out of it!

James: Get over it!

Are you going to let
show business beat you?

Or are you going to beat it?

It's a very long climb up
the stairway to stardom.

And there's no elevator.

But you'll never reach the
top unless you keep on climbing.

It may mean years of rejection,

but if you keep on trying,

you may just see your name
up in lights some day.

Weez?
Bok?

Hey, watch out, world,

because these are
the stars of tomorrow!

Weezy.

Arb.

Mm-hmm.

Or the day after.

Now, take your places
for the last scene.

But you're just getting started.

I always sh**t the ending first

so I know how
the story turns out.

OK, set up the cameras
over there in the field.

Now I want to see
both you families battling

like you were really
feuding with each other.

Places!

Chansey!

Gyar!

All right, time
to make some magic.

This is the big confrontation,

and I want emotion!

Quiet on the set, please.

OK, let's fire up those lamps.

Let's roll camera!

Slate it!

OK!

Pidgeotto, gust attack!

[Cawing]

Chansey!

Raichu!

Cue rain!

Staryu, water g*n attack!

Hiyah!

[Growling]

Now! Cue the thunderstorm!

Pikachu!

Raichu!

Both: Thundershock!

Pika... chu!

[Thundering]

That's great!

Start the battle! Now!

Pika!

Rai!

This is where you two make
your big dramatic entrance.

Are you ready?

Wig!

Psy!

Wiggle...

Wiggle...

[Whining]

Uhh!

Pika!

[Ranting]

Huh?

Huh?
Huh?

I didn't ask for a smoke effect.

What's going on?
Who did this?

Prepare for trouble.

And make it double...
Feature that is.

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.

Jessy!

James!

Team... rocket

blast off at the speed of light.

Surrender now...

Both: Or prepare to fight.

Hi, fans!

We can't let them ruin
the movie. Surround them!

Ohh!
Ohh!

OK, action!

Pika!

Chu!

Should I stop rolling?

You can keep rolling
and start brawling.

Huh?

Come on, follow me!

Ohh!

Uhh... ahh!

Pikachu, be careful.

Huh? Oh, hi. I'm ash
from the town of palett,

and I'm training to be

the world's greatest
pokémon Master. Aah!

I'd like to thank all
my fans for choosing me

as the world's most beautiful
and talented pokémon trainer.

Uh, I'm Brock.
Hello, ladies.

Aah!

Huh?
Huh?

Doduo!
Chansey!

[Laughing maniacally]

Watch Meowth steal the picture,

along with all the pokémon
on the set.

Pikachu!

Vulpix!
Psyduck!

Psy.

Don't you even know the
right way to get kidnapped?

Psyduck.

[Laughing]

And as the movie ends, the
bad guys are the winners.

Proving once again that the ones

with the best special effects
always win.

But this isn't a movie,
so let our pokémon go!

[Whining]

Psyduck, you're
the only pokémon left,

so you've got to rescue
the others from team rocket!

Psy.

Wigglytuff!

Psyduck, I don't care
what kind of attack you use,

as long as you attack
with something.

Psyduck.

Wiggly.

Do something quick!

Psy! Psy! Psy! Psy! Psy!

Running around in circles
isn't going to help anybody!

Psy! Psy! Psy! Psy! Psy!

Psyduck!

Psy! Psy! Psy! Psy! Psy!

Wigglytuff!

Psy! Psy! Psy! Psy! Psy!

Psyduck!

Psy! Psy! Duck! Duck! Duck!

Wigglytuff!

Duck?

Psy!

What's going on? Ahh! Ahh!

Duck... duck...

Duck...

Ah! Ah! Ah!

Whoa! Psyduck's
confusion attack.

Guess that's a wrap.

Our script flopped.

I give it paws down.

Duck!

Jessy, James, Meowth: Looks like
team rocket's fading out again!

All right!

Togepi!

Psy.

Misty: Psyduck?

Wiggly! Wigglytuff! Wiggly!

Wiggly! Ohh, wigglytuff...

Wigglytuff?
Wiggly? Wiggly?

Psy...

Duck.

Psyduck, you were the big hero.

Psyduck?

Wiggly!

Psy!

[Laughing]

Let's hear it!
Hip, hip...

Hooray! Hooray!
Hooray!

Print it!

That was a fantastic finale.

I'm glad I thought of it.

[Chuckling]

I'm supposed to be training
for the pokémon league,

but I got sidetracked again.

Yeah, but making a movie
was the chance of a lifetime.

Plus you met somebody who
shares the same dream you do.

Mm-hmm. I bet we're gonna have some
great battles in the pokémon league.

But don't expect me to go easy
on you just because we're friends.

Hmm. OK, Katrina.

Schpielbunk: Great concept!

Huh? Uh...

It could be my next epic.

A boy and girl who share the
same dream to train pokémon.

In the first weekend alone
it could gross million.

I'd sure love
to star in that movie.

Brock would be great.

It's a tough job.
The actor I choose

will be swarmed by
millions of female fans.

Brock:
I can handle that!

[Laughing]

Narrator: And so, ash and
his friends have learned

that making movies
can be lots of fun

and lots of hard work.

And speaking of hard work,

ash needs to start
some hard work of his own.

The pokémon league
is just a few weeks away.

He's gotta get moving...
Unlike team rocket.

Meowth, will you
stop moving around!

I gotta breathe, don't I?

Talk about a cliffhanger.

Prepare for trouble.

With no stunt double.

ash: Don't go away.

Pikachu's jukebox is next.
