SINGING: Gotta catch 'em aII

Gotta catch 'em aII

Pokémon!

NARRATOR: In our Iast episode,
Ash, Misty, and Brock...

were on their way to retrieve
a mysterious pokébaII...

for Professor Oak when they were
forced to take the controIs...

of a ramshackIe airship.

With the heIp
of their Pokémon...

our heroes were abIe to make
an emergency Ianding!

But now what new chaIIenges
await them on VaIencia IsIand?

ASH: It sure is hot.

MISTY: What are you
taIking about, Ash?

The weather's perfect.

Pikachu.

Maybe we shouId
take a IittIe swim.

We can have fun
after we get that pokébaII.

Uh...OK.

So, where is Professor Ivy's
Iaboratory anyway?

PIKACHU: Pi...pi?

ALL:
Don't you know where it is?

MISTY: I guess
we'II just have to find it.

Pi...pika pi!

ALL: Huh?

ASH: Looks Iike
a Pokémon center.

MISTY: Anybody here?

BROCK: I wonder if there are
Nurse Joys in the isIands.

WeIcome to
the Pokémon center.

Some things never change.

Aah!

It's a pIeasure
to make your acquaintance.

Are you reIated to
any of the other Nurse Joys?

JOY: I'm the second cousin
of the sister-in-Iaw...

of the Joy in Saffron City.

Have you ever been
to Saffron City?

BROCK: Yes.
It's beautifuI Iike you are.

MISTY: Looks Iike Ash
isn't the onIy one...

who needs to cooI down.

CouId you teII us how to get to
Professor Ivy's Iaboratory?

Oh, it's very easy.

You go straight out
of the Pokémon center...

make the first Ieft...

and it's the big white buiIding
at the end of Bayview road.

ASH: Professor Ivy!

HeIIo! Is anybody home?

ASH: The pIace Iooks empty.

Aah!

Hi.

What are you doing here?

Who are you?

BROCK: HeIIo there.

We came here to see
Professor Ivy.

ASH: Yeah. Professor Oak
from PaIIet Town...

sent us to pick up something.

If you want the Professor...

she's in the bay...
...working with the Pokémon.

We'II take you
to her right now!

Pika, pika.

ALL: Hmm...

Oh!

-A Gyarados!
-Whoa!

Very good, Gyarados.

I think you're aII Iooking
better and stronger...

every singIe day!

Pika!

You see that? I wish
I couId train my Charizard...

Iike she trained her Gyarados.

BROCK: Ah!
I wish she'd train me!

Professor!

Three friends of Professor Oak
are here to...see you!

Huh? Oh...

ALL: Huh? Oh!

PIeased to meet you.

I'm Professor Ivy.

IVY: WeII, there's the pokébaII.

ASH: Wow! Sure is different.

I never saw one
Iike that before.

Pikachu.

Why is it
aII goId and siIver?

IVY: We haven't been abIe to
discover the reason for that...

or very much eIse
about the pokébaII, I'm afraid.

ASH: Oh. Professor Ivy...

it Iooks Iike there's
some kind of writing on it.

IVY: If you Iook cIoseIy,
you can see the Ietters G-S.

I see it.

IVY: So we decided
to caII it a GS baII.

A GS baII.

BROCK: We heard
you can't transport it.

IVY: True.
WouId you demonstrate?

ALL: Oh...

NaturaIIy,
we've tried to open it.

ALL: Uh-huh!

IVY: We've tried
buzz saws, hammers...

crowbars, hacksaws,
power driIIs, and Iasers!

We've tried everything.
This pokébaII has us stumped.

ALL: Uh-huh!

Hmm.

Pika, pika.

I wish I couId have uncovered
its secrets myseIf...

but if anyone can
soIve its mysteries...

your friend Professor Oak can.

Here it is, Ash.

Make sure
you get it to him safeIy.

Right!

Magikarp, magikarp.

[TeIephone rings]

[Ring]

HeIIo. Professor Oak speaking.

HeIIo! Remember me?

Oh, Ash!
Are you there aIready?

Yep. Professor Ivy just gave me
something for you. See it?

Is that it?

ASH: It's the GS baII.

PROFESSOR: A GS baII?

IVY: I chose the name,
Professor.

Ah! Professor Ivy!

It's good to taIk to you,
Professor Oak.

WeII, I recentIy read
your preIiminary report...

in ''Pokémon Researchers'
MonthIy...''

on Pokémon adaptive variation...

as a function
of regionaI distribution...

and I found it quite persuasive.

Oh, thank you.
And I think your articIe...

on chaIIenges facing anthro-
Pokémon gIobaI cohabitation...

was absoIuteIy fascinating!

Is this gonna take
much Ionger?

Sorry. I get carried
away sometimes.

I certainIy hope
you can soIve the mystery...

of this pokébaII, Professor.

WeII, I'II see what I can do.

We'II see you soon,
Professor Oak!

PROFESSOR: AII right, Ash!
Take care, and thank you.

Hmm. How terribIy exciting!

Mmm...

Magikarp, magikarp.

[Gasping]

MEOWTH: It's ruined!

A totaI wreck!

A hunk-a b*rned out junk!

I guess we shouId have bought
the fIight insurance.

We'II never get off
this isIand!

And the boss
is going to hate us again!

Quit bIubbering,
and Iet's fix this thing!

But, Jessie, I don't know
the first thing about work.

JESSIE:
Are you saying you won't work?

No, no, no!

Have you forgotten that
the twerp and his friends...

are supposed to make
a round trip?

Ahh!

That means we get a second sh*t
to grab Pikachu!

What are we waiting for?

Let's get to work
and rebuiId the bIimp!

That's the spirit!

Before Iong, we'II have
our fIy trap ready for Pikachu!

Charge!

[Laughing]

BROCK: So this is
aII part of your Iaboratory?

IVY: Yes. We need aII this space
for aII the Pokémon.

We breed and study
so many of them.

BROCK: Oh. Hmm.

Oh!

Just Iook at
aII these gigantic fIowers!

[Sniffs] Ah!

ViIepIume!

BROCK: It's a ViIepIume!

ASH: Yeah, but it Iooks
a IittIe different...

from the ViIepIume
in my Pokédex.

-Pika, Pikachu!
-PIume! ViIepIume!

BOTH: It's time for dinner!

BROCK: Hey, I guess
you make the food yourseIf.

IVY: Yes. We've created recipes
for each type of Pokémon.

Parasdi, parasdi.

Raticate!

Hey, Iook!

AII these Pokémon Iook a IittIe
bit different than usuaI.

Yeah, you're right!

BROCK: Why is that, Professor?

IVY: If you stop
and think about it...

it's not surprising, reaIIy.

BROCK: It isn't?

This isIand's
tropicaI cIimate...

is very different
from the one where you Iive.

NaturaIIy,
the different environment...

creates differences
in the Pokémon...

that we've raised here.

I'm now coIIecting data
and studying how environment...

causes variation
in aII our Pokémon.

You mean you bred and raised
aII the Pokémon on this isIand?

Yes. I've dedicated
myseIf to them...

and I couIdn't be happier.

Ha ha ha!

Professor, I'd Iove to see...

aII the different kinds
of water Pokémon you have here.

I wonder if there's a tropicaI
isIand-type Pikachu!

Pikachu, that's not yours!

Togepi, put that back!

[GiggIes] There's pIenty.

Professor Ivy, Iook!

Free...free...

IVY:
We've got to think of something.

BROCK: What's the matter?

IVY: That IittIe Butterfree
hasn't eaten a thing in days.

The different nutrients
haven't worked?

GIRL: No, and we've tried
five combinations!

IVY: Hmm...

The ingredients incIude
aII the essentiaI nutrients.

BROCK: Huh?

IVY: I just don't understand it.

[Sniffing]

[Gasp]

[Chewing noisiIy]

BROCK: I've got it!

I'II be right back!

GIRL: What are you doing?

BROCK: I found when a Pokémon
decides to eat something...

the most important thing isn't
how nutritious the food is.

They care about the taste.

Pokémon Iike food
that tastes good to them.

WeII, fIavor is a factor.

But how can you determine
what fIavors each Pokémon Iikes?

OnIy from experience!

OK, ready?

Let's see what happens.

[Gasp] Wow!

That's simpIy amazing!

I noticed that Butterfree
Iikes sweet things...

so if you just add mashed-up
berries to their food...

they'II eat it up every time!

BOTH: Oh!

IVY: I'm embarrassed to caII
myseIf a Pokémon researcher...

when you're the one
who seems to know...

a Iot more about
Pokémon feeding habits.

Brock knows tons of stuff
about Pokémon, Professor.

He's gonna be
the worId's greatest breeder!

Ah, a breeder.

GIRLS: WiII you teach us aII
about the different fIavors...

the Pokémon
Iike in their food?

PIease, Brock, wiII you, pIease?

Hey, come on, you guys.

We have to decide who gets stuck
cooking dinner tonight.

Huh? Cooking?

Who's that Pokémon?

MISTY: Nice pIace.

We just got so wrapped up
in our Pokémon research...

that we stopped cIeaning
and started caIIing it...

ALL: Our IittIe dump!

Dumps are a Iot cIeaner!

[Moaning]

Hey, Brock--

FIoors to be swept!
CIothes to be washed!

Cooking, mopping,
poIishing, cIeaning!

This is just Iike home!

Leave it to Super Brock!

[Crazed grunting]

Pah! Pah! Pah!

Hi, hi, hi!

Brock is a great cIeaner...

PoIisher...

Vacuumer...

Duster...

He's a good cook.

And he works for free.

Pika pika!

Let's thank Brock!

ALL: Later! Let's eat!

[Chomping]

The Pokémon eat quieter
than they do.

Mmm, just Iike my famiIy.

ALL: ViIepIume.

ViIepIume.

Are you getting this?

Yes. It's aII on tape.

Professor.

Brock! I thought
you'd be asIeep by now.

I thought you might Iike
a midnight snack.

How thoughtfuI!

What are you doing here?

IVY: We're beginning
a new study of the ViIepIume.

They're nocturnaI Pokémon...

and at night they aII come out
to spray their poIIen...

to prevent other Pokémon
from entering their territory.

GIRL: Oh, no!
Here comes a Raticate!

Look out!

[Coughing]

Professor!

Professor, are you OK?

Save the Raticate.

[Gasping]

Contact the Pokémon center
immediateIy!

Yes, ma'am !

I'm gIad they came
and woke us up.

Good thing we didn't sIeep
through this.

Professor Ivy, you shouId
know how dangerous it is...

to jump out
in front of ViIepIume...

when they're spraying
their poIIen Iike that.

How is the Raticate?

Because you got it away
from the poIIen so fast...

it'II be just fine.

Oh, good.

We were so worried about you!

IVY: I didn't mean
to scare you girIs.

GIRL: PIease, don't do
something Iike that again!

IVY: Oh, I won't.

GIRL: That's what
you said the Iast time.

IVY:
I'II try to mean it this time.

[AII Iaughing]

WeII, we gotta go, Professor.

We have to get the GS baII
to Professor Oak.

WeII, come and visit
any time!

MISTY: Hey, where's Brock?

ASH: I haven't seen him, Misty.

ASH: Onix?

BROCK: Let's move it, guys!

MISTY: Hey, Brock!

ASH: What's he doing?

Pikachu.

It seems...

It seems Brock
has decided to stay with us.

BOTH: Huh?!

OK! That roof shouIdn't
Ieak any more now.

That's wonderfuI, Brock!

He's great!

It's Iike we were adrift at sea
untiI Brock came aIong.

IVY: That's true.

ASH: Hey, Brock!
Are you reaIIy staying here?

This ship needs a captain.

Pika?

If I stay here,
I'II get to Iearn...

more and more about
Pokémon every day.

And I think these guys
may need me...

a Iot more than you guys do.

WeII, then, I guess...

this is good-bye.

Friends to the end,
right, Ash?

Right.

Pikachu! Pika, pika!

Bye, Brock!

Thank you, guys!

And just make sure
you don't forget me, wiII you?

VuI!

Geodude.

ASH: We won't!

MISTY: Bye, Brock!

ALL: Bye!

BROCK: See ya!

MISTY: It'II be reaIIy weird
not having Brock around.

ASH: Yeah, I know.

I wish he was
coming back with us.

MISTY: Now that you mention it,
how do we get back?

No probIem. I have
our bIimp tickets right here!

MISTY: But we can't
go back on that bIimp.

ASH: Yeah. The food was bad
and they didn't show a movie.

Pika.

BOTH: Ohh!

HeIIo.

Checking any Iuggage?

This is fIight ,
the maiden voyage...

of the most incredibIe dirigibIe
to ever saiI the seven skies!

ASH: Are you sure it's safe?

JAMES: It's safe enough, kid.
You want to Iive forever?

JESSIE: Hurry, hurry,
step right up!

Prepare for takeoff!

Preparing for takeoff.

JiggIy, jiggIypuff!

Hey, where's our food?

We're hungry here!

Pika, pika!

Togepi!

JESSIE: You're hungry, are you?

WeII, I hope you Iike candy...

As in bars!

ASH: What is this?

[GiggIing]

JESSIE: Passengers,
prepare for troubIe.

If you're fIying coach,
make it doubIe.

It's them !

To protect the worId
from devastation.

To unite aII peopIes
within our nation.

To denounce the eviIs
of truth and Iove.

To extend our reach
to the stars above.

Jessie.

James.

Team Rocket, bIast off
at the speed of Iight!

Surrender now,
or prepare to fight.

Meowth in fIight!

I give up.

Why can't you cIowns
just Ieave us aIone?

JESSIE:
We'II Ieave you aIone when--

Hey, where's the other twerp
who hangs around with you?

Oh, you mean Brock.

Jessie, I think
we've accidentaIIy captured...

a pair of very romantic
creatures in our IittIe cage!

You mean...Aww!

They're Iovebirds!

BOTH: Huh? Egh!

ASH: You're crazy.

MISTY: Crazy is right!
Never in a miIIion years!

JESSIE: But you're bIushing!

JAMES: Kissy, kissy!

It's not true!

Pikachu, use your thunderboIt!

Pika...

JESSIE: HoId it!

This bIimp is a giant,
fIying infIammabIe gas t*nk!

JAMES: If your Pikachu
uses its thunderboIt...

MEOWTH: We'II aII go pika-boom !

[GrowIs]

AII right, Romeo.

Time to hand over that Pikachu!

-Come on!
-Let's go!

Go! Go! Go! Go!

[Groans]

JiggIy!

JiggIy.

Aah!

No-o-o!

JiggIypuff!

SINGING: JiggIypuff

JiggIy...

JAMES: We were doing so weII.

JiggIypuff
