[narrator] Ash's goal is to battle

one of the world's greatest Trainers, Leon.

Goh's goal is to catch one of every kind of Pokémon,

This is the story of their adventure-filled journey

region "[Cerise] Ash, Goh! Big news!

The Legendary Pokémon, Suicune, has appeared.

-Suicune? -Where is it?

[Chrysa] Eyewitness accounts place it right around this area.

[Ren] It's said Suicune travels the world purifying polluted water.

We also heard that a big storm seriously muddied

these once pristine lake waters.

And it's there that Suicune appeared to clean up the lake.

-Pika? -Sobble?

-Suicune sounds kind of nice. -Kind of nice?

A Legendary Pokémon, "nice"?

Perhaps that's part of being a legend.

It obviously has earned lots of people's respect.

[Chrysa] But there are some oddities.

-[both gasp] -Hm?

Normally once it's cleaned a body of water,

Suicune usually goes away.

[Chrysa] But this time, it seems to be staying around the lake.

[Goh] I wonder why.

And so, that's just what I want my research fellows to find out!

[Ash, Goh] Right!

-Then it's time to go! -Pika!

[Goh] Go!

♪ Take me on a journey ♪

[theme music]

-[Goh] "Healing…" -[Ash] "…The Healer!"

[narrator] Ash and Goh are searching deep within the mountainous countryside

where witness sightings for Suicune originated.

-Pika. -[groans]

[Pika yells]

-What's that awful odor? -It stinks!

Hm? Over this way!

[burbling]

[Ash] This is the lake where Suicune's supposed to be.

How did it get like this?

[Goh] Wasn't Suicune supposed to have cleaned up the water?

[hunter ] Muk, use Sludge b*mb!

-[Muk roars] -[both gasp]

[hunter ] Trubbish, do your worst!

[Trubbish grumbles]

What are they doing?

They look like rough characters.

We should contact Officer Jenny.

-[grunts] -Oh, wait, Ash!

[hunters snickering]

-[Ash] Knock it off! -[all gasp]

[hunter ] And who do you think you are?

Oh, man, this is not good.

Get out of here! Now, Trubbish, use Sludge b*mb!

Trubbish! [grunting]

-[rattling] -Pika!

Pikachu, use Iron Tail!

Pikachu. Pika. Pika…

-…chu! -[groans]

Oh, don't make us angry!

That's enough! Cinderace!

-Cinde! -Hey, Goh!

Always biting off more than you can chew!

-I can't just let this go on! -You wanna fight?

[man] Hey! You don't have time to go playin' with kids!

[all gasp]

[hunters] Boss!

It's arrived.

[hunters] Huh?

[wind howling]

[screaming]

-That's Suicune! -Wow, it really is here!

[all shout]

[hunters groan]

[growling]

-[Goh gasps] -[delighted chuckle]

[roaring]

[grunts]

[hunters whimper]

You sure do have spirit,

but I think it's about time that spirit took a break.

So those are Pokémon hunters!

I get it! So they're trying to weaken Suicune,

and then catch it.

[tense music]

[Suicune grunts]

All right! Take care of this!

[all] Sludge b*mb!

-Let's go! -Sludge b*mb!

[growling]

[groaning]

-[groans] -[both] Suicune, no!

[Cinderace] Cinde!

You won't get in our way!

All right, Garbodor, use Sludge b*mb!

Garbodor.

-Pika! -Cinde!

-Pika. Pi. -[both grunt]

[muttering]

We've gotta help it. But how are we gonna do that?

[grunting]

[groans]

The future's in the palm of my hand.

All right, Poké Ball, go!

[gasps]

[gasps]

[gasps]

-[gasps] -Pika?

[gasps]

[whirring]

[chimes]

[Rotom phone] Suicune has been registered to your Pokédex.

-[all gasp] -[hunters] No way!

This means Suicune is now one of my friends!

So why don't you just give up and go home?

I don't appreciate someone who comes in and steals a catch.

Looks like we're gonna have to teach you some manners then,

and some rules, too.

Oh, give me a break! You were doing bad stuff!

It's our job, and that's just the way we roll.

When we want something, we get it one way or another!

Lucario!

-[grunts] -Pika!

-Goh, clear out! -But…

You've got to protect Suicune, now!

[gasps]

Got it!

Cinderace, Sobble, let's go!

-Cinde! -Sobble!

Stop him, quick!

Oh, no, you don't!

[all grunt]

Pikachu, Quick Attack! Lucario, Aura Sphere!

[both grunt]

[Goh panting]

[Goh] Just stay safe, Ash! Please!

[dramatic music]

[whimpering]

-[groans] -[Pokémon muttering]

[growls]

[groans]

[gasps]

[snarling]

-Cinderace! -Sobble!

Okay, Suicune, first, we've gotta get you to a Pokémon Center!

-Now return-- -[gasps]

[Pokémon chatter]

[Goh] Listen, please!

We got to go before those guys get here.

[Goh groans]

[suspenseful music]

[grunts, pants]

-Sobble. -Cinde.

[grunting]

[groans, gasps]

-[Pidgey squeals] -[groans]

-Pidgey, what's up? -Pidgey.

[snarling]

[Goh] You're protecting Suicune?

Of course! Suicune's trying to purify the lake water,

so you'll be able to keep living here.

Sobble.

Wait. Uh, believe me, I'm not like those Pokémon hunters at all.

'Course, you don't understand what I'm saying.

All I can do is let Suicune heal on its own.

All right.

[chiming]

-Exegg. -[cheering]

Cinderace, I want you to protect Suicune.

-Look out for those bad guys. -[Cinderace] Cinde.

Raichu and Sobble, I want you to come with me.

[Raichu and Sobble mutter]

And you Exeggutor. Keep an eye out!

Exeggutor!

[groans]

-[hunter ] You find 'em? -[hunter ] Nah, rotten kids.

[hunter grunts]

[snarls]

-[Ash] Lucario? -Huh?

Hm.

Oh, man. I hope Goh's okay.

[snoring]

-[Goh] I'm back. -[Raichu chitters]

[Rattatas snarling]

-Rai, rai. -Sobble.

Rai, rai. Chu.

-Rai, rai. -Eat 'em all up.

They're berries that can eliminate poison.

[chattering]

[all chattering]

I figured you all might be hungry, so we brought a lot.

-[Goh] Everybody, eat up. -[all muttering]

[all chomping]

Rai, rai. Chu.

[Goh] As long as it gets back to feeling healthy.

[calm music]

[hunter] Boss, I found out where they're hiding!

[boss groans] Is that right?

[hunters] Yes, sir!

We were just taken for a bunch of fools,

and there's no way we're gonna let that stand.

[Ash] Who's that Pokémon?

-Pika? -[Suicine growls]

Pika, pika!

[Rotom phone beeping]

No good. It won't connect.

-[Suicine grunts] -Hm?

[Pokémon chattering]

[gasps]

[Goh] You're wounded!

-[growls] -[gasps]

[soft chuckle]

It's all right. Just let me see.

[snarls]

-[hissing] -[groans]

Did it sting you?

I'm sorry about that.

[Goh] But I'm glad I brought this.

Thank you, Chloe. [grunts]

That should do it. You'll feel better soon.

Exegg.

[gasps]

Guess they're here.

[suspenseful music]

[all laughing evilly]

[boss] So that's the place.

Now, Muk, Sludge b*mb, let's go!

-Use Quick Attack! -Huh?

-[groaning] -Cinde!

[Goh] Use Psybeam!

-[crackling] -[quivering]

Hey, what?

I caught a Pokémon whose Psychic-type attacks

are super effective against Poison-type Pokémon!

Drow. Drowzee!

[snoring]

-Drow… -[Goh grunts]

…zee!

All right!

[Rotom phone] Drowzee has been registered to your Pokédex.

-Let's get busy, Drowzee! -Drowzee!

[all grunting]

[scoffs] So what? I don't care! Go get 'em!

Now, Trubbish, quick, use Pound!

[yells]

Quick, Drowzee, use Pound right back!

-Drowzee! -[grunts]

[both grunting]

Now, use Psybeam!

-Drowzee! -[screams]

Cinderace, Pyro Ball, let's go!

Cinderace!

[Goh] Drowzee, use Psybeam!

-[Drowzee yells] -[Weezing quivering]

[upbeat music]

We can win this!

-Drow! -Cinde!

Feeling a little c*ck, aren't we?

-[both] Boss! Yeah! -Ah, go, Houndoom!

[boss] Use Crunch!

[growls]

-[loud bang] -Oh, no, Drowzee!

You really thought we only had Poison types?

Get some rest, Drowzee.

-[boss] The tide has turned, hasn't it? -[grunts]

All right then, grab it!

[gasps]

[grunting]

-[both grunt] -[snarling]

-[hunter ] Quiet! -[screams]

[yelling] No, stop!

[all growling]

[grunts, pants]

[grunting] Stop it, now!

-[growling] -[hunter grunting]

-You've got to stop! -[Ash] Pikachu!

-Use Quick Attack! -[gasps]

[yells] Pikachu! Pi.

[Ash] Lucario, use Aura Sphere!

[grunts]

-Pika! -[all scream]

[screaming] Goh!

[Ash] Are you all right?

-[Goh] Thanks, Ash. -Not you again!

[grunts] Use Flamethrower!

[grunting]

Pika!

-Pikachu! -Use Sludge b*mb!

[yells]

Use Pyro Ball!

Cinderace!

[blasts]

-[grunts] -All right, use Sludge b*mb!

-[rattling] -Cinde!

[snickers]

[grumbling] Cinderace.

[gasps] Cinderace!

[both snickering]

[groans]

[grumbling] Cinde. Cin…

[groans]

…derace!

We won't give up, no matter what!

Cinderace!

The future's in our hands, and we're gonna protect it!

[tense music]

[grunting] We're finishing this once and for all,

[p begin=" t" end=" t" region="region "and we're doing it with Crunch!

Use it now!

[grunts]

-Huh, what? -[Ash] Look out!

[yelling]

[wind swooshing]

-[expl*si*n] -[all gasp]

-[screaming] -[hunters yelp]

[grunts]

Suicune, you just…

[gasps]

[Goh] Will you really fight alongside me?

[growls]

[chuckles] Now, Suicune, use Hydro Pump!

[screaming]

[groaning]

[groans]

-[Goh, Ash] Way to go! -[Pokémon cheering]

[all grunt]

All right, Houndoom, Flamethrower!

[grunts]

-Suicune, Ice Beam! -[Suicune growls]

[both grunting]

[groans]

-[thuds] -[all gasp]

[whimpers]

-[grunts] -Ah…

[hunters grunt]

[snarls]

Suicune, wait.

[action music]

[gasps]

[sighs]

Way to go!

But what are we supposed to do with them now?

We'll do this.

Now, Suicune, use Ice Beam!

[waling]

[all whimpering]

Thanks so much. Your help was invaluable.

[Jenny] This malicious band of Pokémon hunters

has been on our most-wanted list.

-[Jenny] I'll take it from here! -[both] Thank you, Officer!

[siren wailing]

[soft gasp]

[cheerful music]

[soft gasp]

Sobble?

What, Goh?

[Goh] You still have your own journey to make, right, Suicune?

Then, I'll see you around.

-Not so easy, is it? -[Goh] Uh, keep it to yourself.

[both gasp]

Hi there, Suicune.

[all gasp]

[chuckles]

[Goh] Thank you, Suicune.

[Goh] Come on out!

-[Suicine growls] -[all gasp]

I never dreamed I could see Suicune up close like this.

[Ren] That's amazing! You actually caught Suicune!

[Chrysa] It's so beautiful!

-[all gasp] -Pika?

-[howling] -Suicune, what's up?

[both gasp]

[all grunt]

[howling continues]

[howling]

[all grunting]

[both gasp]

[Ash] Where'd it go?

[Goh] It's still around.

[gasps]

It's around, even if we can't see it.

I can feel it.

Wow, really? Yeah, you're right.

[narrator] Goh and Suicune wound up forming a very real bond,

which means Goh's taken a big step toward fulfilling his dream.

But there are still many other Pokémon in the world.

When will our heroes manage to meet them all?

The answer to come, as the journey continues!
