NARRATOR With his adventures in the Orange Islands behind him

Ash is returning to the place

where his Pokémon journey began.

Well, there's Pallet Town.

We finally made it back home, Pikachu!

[EXCITED]

You remember Pallet Town, don't you, Togepi?

[AFFIRMATIVE]

Just being here is like a dream come true for me.

TRACEY 'I can't wait to meet the famous Professor Oak.'

Maybe you can show him your sketches.

I wonder which ones Professor Oak would like to see first.

Maybe I better go through all my sketchbooks

and pick out the best ones.

Tracey, why don't we do this at my house?

Yeah, we can have lunch

while you decide what to show Professor Oak.

Okay, Misty, good idea.

[laughs]

Let's go!

[ENTHUSIASTIC]

I'm not the only one who wants lunch, am I, Togepi?

[EAGER]

[CURIOUS]

ASH "A Tent Situation."

I just can't wait to see the look on my mom's face.

[EXCITED]

[chuckles]

[EXPECTANT]

ASH 'Surprise!'

BROCK 'Is that you, Ash?'

Huh?

[CONFUSED]

He's back?

[screaming]

ASH [groans]

- Who's he? - He's Brock!

Hey, how you doing there, Misty?

Hiya, Togepi, looking good.

[PLEASED]

What do you mean "how are you doing?"

What are you doing here?

BROCK 'Hey, you must be Tracey.'

Uh, yeah, that's me!

Well, how about a nice cup of tea?

I just made a fresh pot of Indigo Oolong

which has a delightful peachy flavor.

BROCK 'It has a floral fragrance'

'and I think you'll find it very refreshing.'

I like my tea straight, but for you, I'll add a dash of milk

and two heaping teaspoons of sugar.

Now watch out, it's hot! Here you go, Tracey.

Brock, what are you doing here in Pallet Town?

Yeah, Brock, you loved Valencia Island.

This ship needs a captain!

If I stay here, I'll get to learn more and more

about Pokémon every day.

[AFFECTIONATE]

And I think these guys may need me a lot more than you guys do.

- Bye! See you! - Bye!

Thank you, guys, and just make sure

you don't forget me, will ya?

It seemed like you were going to stay there forever.

Yeah, I thought you were going to learn more about Pokémon.

And help take care of those kids.

How come you didn't stay with Professor Ivy?

BROCK 'Uh! That name. Uh!'

[groaning]

Hey, Brock, what's wrong?

I don't want to talk about it.

Uh, did Professor Ivy d..

[grunting]

I just said..

[screaming]

ASH 'What happened?'

BROCK 'I don't want to talk about it.'

- She must have dumped him. - Huh?

This always happens.

[AMUSED]

You okay, Brock?

- No. - Hmm.

MOM 'You're finally home.'

[EXCITED]

- Mom! - What a surprise!

I could hardly wait--

I'm so glad you're here, Pikachu!

[HAPPY]

And me?

Oh, hi, sweetie.

[DELIGHTED]

Same old mom!

So, Misty, how's everything going with you and Togepi?

Great!

[EXCITED]

And, Tracey, it's nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too!

Uh, Brock. How long has he been here, Mrs. Ketchum?

Well, let's see.

MOM It was a hot muggy evening about a week ago.

It's a good thing we got to the market

before it closed, wasn't it?

[PLEASED]

[grunting]

Mimie, did you just hear something?

[AFFIRMATIVE]

So did I. Let's go back and see what it is.

[DETERMINED]

[grunting]

I just heard it again, Mimie.

It sounds like it's coming from behind us.

[VIGILANT]

[grunting]

I don't understand, Mimie.

I hear it, but I don't see it.

[grunting]

MR. MIME] [BEWILDERED]

[screaming]

Oh, I'm so sorry for stepping all over you, sir.

I hope I didn't hurt you.

[groaning]

MOM I tried to get him to tell me what happened

but whenever I mentioned Professor Ivy

he always said the same thing.

BROCK Don't mention that name!

MOM So I stopped asking!

He's been a big help around the house.

He does the dishes, sweeps the floors.

He's a better seamstress than I'll ever be.

Well, it sounds like he's a good houseguest.

[PROUD]

BROCK 'Come on, Mr. Mime. I want to sweep today!'

Except when he wants to do all of Mimie's chores.

[groans]

I guess we'll never know what happened.

I know what happened. Brock liked Professor Ivy.

I liked her too.

Sometimes you're as immature as Gary.

[groans]

Don't mention that name.

[COMPASSIONATE]

Come on, Ash, quit acting like Brock.

I know what'll cheer my little pumpkin up.

I'll cook up something special.

[EXCITED]

Maybe I'll make my deep dish chilidog pizza potpies.

[ENTHUSIASTIC]

Well, I'm sure whatever you decide to make

will be delicious, Mrs. Ketchum.

[DELIGHTED]

- I vote for the potpies. - Ash?

Ash talked about them all the way here.

- 'Potpies it is!' - Oh, yeah!

Ash, it's getting late.

- 'With extra pepperoni?' - Yes, yes!

- Uh, hey, Ash. - And potatoes.

- Ash, aren't we-- - And for dessert that pudding?

- Choco-palooza! - Answer me!

Is there a question you'd like to ask us, Tracey?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell, Mrs. Ketchum

but I just want to know

when we are going to go see Professor Oak?

I forgot!

I got to get the GS Ball to him right away.

Ta-da! Look, mom!

ASH 'This is the trophy they gave me for winning'

'the Orange League Championship.'

'I want you to have it.'

Ash, that makes me so happy!

If I work out with that I won't need another dumbbell.

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

Please, let's go to the lab.

Are those the sketches you want him to see?

Yup. Hope we get there before I change my mind.

I want to get there, so I can see all of the Pokémon

the professor's been keeping for me.

I bet they'll all be happy to see you again, Ash.

Brock, I guess you must have been excited

the first time you met the professor.

That name.

He means Professor Oak!

[giggles]

Oh, yeah, Professor Oak's one of the most respected

Pokémon researchers in the whole world

and he's got one of the best Pokémon labs anywhere.

Cool. Let's hurry!

MEOWTH [laughing]

Just like we thought, they're heading straight

to the old geezer's Pokémon paradise.

Before we go after them, I think we should take a moment

to call the Boss and let him know

we're still on the Twerps' trail.

Oh, yeah?

Do you want to be the one to tell him

we still ain't got our paws on Pikachu?

- Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm.

Hey, Boss, how you doing there?

No, we didn't catch a single Pokémon!

- Not me. - Not me.

- We're three total losers! - That's right!

[groaning]

Are you out of your minds?

We can't call up the Boss and tell him

that we still ain't got Pikachu or any other Pokémon for him!

We can't call the Boss until we swipe some Pokémon.

You're right, and there'll be plenty to steal

over at Oak's Laboratory.

Hey, look, that older twerp who used to hang out

with the younger twerps is back again.

[gasps]

Ah! There it is!

Yup, that's Professor Oak's place.

BROCK 'Well, Tracey, what do you think?'

It's just like I imagined.

ASH 'Professor Oak!'

Professor?

He must be here. The door wasn't locked.

Professor!

Maybe we shouldn't interrupt him.

Maybe he's doing important research!

[AFFECTIONATE]

MISTY 'Ash!'

[grunts]

- Professor! - Ash! Good to see you here.

PROFESSOR OAK 'I was just feeding your Muk!'

He's really real!

[EXUBERANT]

Are you okay?

[sighs]

[AFFECTIONATE]

Oh, Muk, will you get off me?

[AFFECTIONATE]

It certainly is an honor to finally meet you, Professor Oak.

I'm a Pokémon watcher

so I observe Pokémon behavior like you do.

Hope you don't mind if I sketch this.

Tracey, we do mind!

[groans]

I'm getting old.

Pikachu, Togepi. How are you doing?

[PLEASANT]/[HAPPY]

PROFESSOR OAK 'By the way, Brock'

'uh, Professor Ivy sends her best regards.'

[AMUSED]

What's wrong?

You really don't want to go there.

Ash, aren't you going to give him the ball?

Oh, that's right! Sorry, it took so long.

Ah, the mysterious GS Ball!

We got a little sidetracked by the Orange League.

Well, I'm sure you gained lots of valuable experience.

I'll begin my examination a little later tonight.

You sure have a lot of Poké Balls here, Professor.

Most of these were sent to me by traveling trainers

who started out here in Pallet.

Maybe you'd like to take a little tour?

Sounds great!

Huh?

[CONTENT]

Hey, there's Snorlax!

Snorlax is doing very well here.

Snorlax!

[EXHAUSTED]

[EXHAUSTED]

Same old Snorlax.

When it's snoring, it's happy.

Hey, look! What are they?

ASH 'Oh, those're all my Tauros!'

TRACEY 'Wow!'

The Tauros hate being corralled in their Poké Balls.

They all love the wide open spaces.

Go, Tauros!

[ENERGETIC]

You must have enough Tauros to start your own private stampede.

Yup!

Wow. I'm impressed.

What's that?

[EXCITED]

Kingler! How is it going, old buddy?

[PLEASED]

[PLAYFUL]

They all look like they're happy and healthy, don't they, Ash?

Sure do!

Well, don't forget they're staying

with a world famous Pokémon expert!

Yeah, you're right about that.

- Huh? - Huh?

Huh? Uh..

Your drawings look interesting.

You really think so?

Actually, I picked out some of my best sketches

and even though they may not be that good

I-I was wondering if you could take a look at some of them.

Mm-hmm, I'd be happy to look at whatever you brought.

[whimpering]

Hmm?

Uh! Hmm.

It's a good thing I'm not nervous.

[whimpering]

Hey! Tracey, take it easy.

Yeah! Your sketches are fine.

Now just stop worrying and relax, will you?

What do you think of them so far, Professor?

Well, I haven't reviewed his whole portfolio yet

but from what I've seen so far, he's..

MEOWTH 'Showtime!'

[rumbling]

What was that?

Something's surrounding the whole place.

Those kids ain't going to be happy campers

when they see that tent.

Pikachu won't get away

now that we have the whole place covered.

Neither will those other Pokémon.

[laughing]

ASH/MISTY/TRACEY Who's that Pokémon?

ASH/MISTY/TRACEY It's Omastar.

[APPEARING]

[CURIOUS ]

[ANGRY]

What's this thing supposed to be?

It looks like a circus!

[evil laughter]

JESSIE Prepare for trouble and the greatest act yet.

JAMES Better make that double because we don't use a net.

JESSIE To protect the world from devastation.

JAMES '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 lightning.

Surrender now, because these clown suits are frightening.

Meowth, that's right!

What are you doing here?

We thought Pallet Town could use a little excitement.

And what's more exciting than a circus?

Wow, I wonder if they'll have an old fashioned sideshow.

No. Just three freaks.

Not that I actually care

but how come the big Twerp's in town?

I thought he was staying back on Valencia Island

with that Professor Ivy.

- Ah! - Huh?

Don't mention that name.

Eeh. He took my parasol!

Now we're taking something.

We're taking every Pokémon in the place.

Why not make this easy and just hand them over?

No way! I choose you, Bulba--

[URGENT]

What is it, Muk? Okay, go!

[AGGRESSIVE]

I choose Lickitung.

[APPEARING]

[screaming]

What are you doing? Get off me.

I'm not a Pokémon! Go battle Lickitung!

That Muk loves humans and it's not too particular what kind.

Slobbering all over Jessie, it's just revolting.

For which one? Go, Victreebel!

[EXCITED]

Don't att*ck me, you dingdong. Let me go.

He's in over his head.

[ENTHUSIASTIC]

Victreebel! Razor Leaf att*ck!

[RAZOR LEAF att*ck MOVE]

Razor Leaf just didn't cut it!

Victreebel, get in there and get Stuck on Muk.

[STUCK MOVE]

[ALARMED]

Good. Now use your Poison Powder.

Poison Gas!

[POISON GAS MOVE]

[DISGUSTED]

[EXERTION]

Ah, lucky Mucky!

Lickitung, Slobber it so we can clobber it.

[SLOBBER MOVE]

[TICKLED]

[FRUSTRATED]

[TICKLED]

[FRUSTRATED]

- Oh, no, Muk likes it. - Oh, no, Muk likes it.

Team Rocket's going to have to be a lot grosser than that.

Looks like Muk's got them licked.

You're a great trainer, too, Professor Oak.

[DETERMINED]/[SURPRISED]

Go, Victreebel! Sleep Powder att*ck now!

[SLEEP POWDER att*ck]

[SLEEPING]

It's working!

Quick, Ash, switch to another Pokémon.

Right! Bulbasaur, Squirtle, I choose you!

This ain't over yet, Twerp.

We still got a secret w*apon.

This is more than a three ring circus.

- Step right up! - Try your luck!

- Huh? - Ah!

[PAINED]

Perfect, we won a nice little game of ring toss

and now we get to pick every top-shelf Pokémon

we want as the prize!

[grunting]

Bet you'd like to release some more Pokémon

right about now, wouldn't you?

Unfortunately, at the moment, you seem to be all tied up.

MEOWTH 'So we'll just help ourselves!'

With this super-suction vacuum, we'll clean you out.

[grunting]

[EXERTION]

They're taking all the Poké Balls.

JAMES 'Finally, we can call the Boss and tell him'

we've got plenty of Pokémon.

The Twerps' Pokémon loss is great news for the Boss.

[laughing]

There go my sketches.

[grunting]

Time to let the cat out of the bag, kid.

- How come you came back? - I'll never tell!

Maybe you did something real embarrassing

in front of that Professor Ivy.

[grunting]

- Brock! - That name.

They've got the GS ball!

[gasping]

[gasping]

[STARTLED]

[EXERTION]/[SCARED]

- Go, Nidoqueen! - Gary!

[AGGRESSIVE]

JESSIE 'Lickitung!'

[AGGRESSIVE]

Nidoqueen, grab that tongue.

[GRAB MOVE]

[screams]

Nidoqueen, use your Megapunch.

[MEGAPUNCH MOVE]

[whimpering]

[groans]

You're making our big top a big flop.

Get in there!

[screaming]

I'll take care of this with my Scratch att*ck.

[SCRATCH att*ck MOVE]

I guess I'm not as sharp as I used to be.

Strength att*ck now!

[STRENGTH att*ck MOVE]

[screaming]

We almost won that time.

We got close!

A near victory!

[EXASPERATED]

[muffled speech]

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH Team Rocket's blasting off again.

Nidoqueen!

[SATISFIED]

How you doing, grandpa? You okay?

Fine, thanks to you!

They didn't get all my sketches after all.

The GS Ball's here too!

[RELIEVED]/[PLEASED]

Luckily, Gary got here in the nick of time.

You did a fine job!

Thanks, grandpa, but Nidoqueen deserves most of the credit.

Gary did a great job training it!

Yeah, he sure has turned himself into a really strong trainer.

And getting stronger all the time.

Thanks to his tough training schedule.

PROFESSOR OAK 'You should see how much better he's gotten with his Pokémon.'

Better but not good enough.

I b*at the leader of the Orange Crew

and I even got the winner's trophy to prove it.

Congratulations

but that trophy didn't help much against Team Rocket.

Yeah, well, I did better than you did

at the Pokémon League, too, remember that?

That was a long time ago, Ash.

I'm a much stronger trainer than I was back then.

Yeah, I'd like to see how much stronger you are

in a Pokémon battle with me.

[gasps]

- A battle? - You won't win.

We'll see about that.

- You think Ash can win? - Maybe, maybe not.

[CONCERNED]

NARRATOR Well, this is a surprise.

On his first day back in Pallet

Ash finds himself on the verge

of a Pokémon battle with his arch enemy Gary!

And it seems Gary is stronger than ever!

Will Ash have the hometown advantage

or is he about to become the local loser?

ASH Don't go away. Pikachu's jukebox is next.
