[bunniefuu]

[gentle music]

[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,

including Mew!

This is the story of their adventure-filled journey

through the world of Pokémon!

[camera shutter clicks]

[Yamper] Yamper, yamp, yamp.

Pika!

Goh, it looks great on you!

-[Ash] What a uniform. -Of course.

You've got to admit everything looks good on me!

Whatever.

-See you later! -[sighs]

Sobble?

Yeah, see ya.

[both] Have a great time, guys!

-Pika, pika! -[Yamper] Yamp, yamp, yamp.

Why won't you evolve?

[theme music]

-[Ash and Goh] "To Train…" -[Chloe] "Or Not to Train!"

[quirky music]

So how come you never try to catch Pokémon?

I've got Yamper.

But I thought Yamper was your dad's Pokémon.

I'm talking about a Pokémon who's your very own partner.

I may never get one.

Why would you say something like that?

It feels like everybody decided

I have to catch Pokémon simply because I'm a Professor's daughter.

-I kind of hate that. -Oh?

[Chloe] It came up during an assignment I had

about my dreams for the future.

-[Goh] Oh. Okay. Sorry. -[Chloe] Don't worry!

Mom and I talked, and she said the day will come

when I'll be able to decide for myself

what path to take when it comes to Pokémon.

So there's nothing to apologize for!

-[teacher] Goh, Chloe! -[both] Huh?

Morning, you two!

[both] Good morning to you, too!

See, I told you I keep my promises!

Promises?

I promised I'd always come to school when there's a test.

Promises are there to be kept.

All right, see you in class!

I didn't know you had an agreement.

I sure did!

Oh! One thing!

Make sure you remember to leave your Pokémon out in the garden.

-All right. -Sobble?

Exeggutor.

[indistinct chattering]

[groans sadly]

-[cries] -Sobble! Please don't cry!

Exeggutor! [cries]

[all crying]

Come out, Cinderace!

[Cinderace] Cinderace.

Cin… Cinderace!

Please look after Sobble until I get back from school!

Cinderace!

-[Pokémon cries] -Cind… Cind…

Cinderace! Cinderace! Cind… Cinderace!

[Jessie] A park paradise with plenty of Pokémon!

Hard-working school students preoccupied inside.

While we take their Pokémon for a Team Rocket ride!

[Jessie] Simple.

Wobbu, wobbu.

Yamper, yamper, yamper.

Yamper, yamper, yamper.

[Eevee] Eevee?

[whines]

Eevee.

[Yamper grunts]

Yamper, yamper, yamper.

[Yamper grunting]

Eevee.

[both grunting]

[grunting continues]

[gasps]

[sniffs]

[sneezing]

Yamper!

[sniffs]

Ee… ee… Eevee! [sneezes]

Yamper?

[gibbering]

Eevee.

[mumbles]

Yamper.

-[crackling] -[grunting]

[both grunting]

-Eevee-vee. -[yelps]

[both groan]

[gasps]

[sniffing]

[whimpering]

-Eevee. -Yamper.

-[mutters] -Eevee.

[both sniffing]

Yamper!

Eevee. Eevee.

[assistant ] Quick, over there!

[assistant ] Hey!

[both screaming]

-Yamper! -Eevee!

-Come back here! -You're not going to ruin our work!

Hey, Yamper?

Pika, pika!

I don't understand.

Why does Yamper run off every time we try to take a walk?

Pika!

Find it?

-[Pikachu] Pi! -[Ash] It's Yamper… with an Eevee?

-[assistant ] Wait up! -[assistant ] Eevee!

What's up with those two?

Pikachu!

You're right! Let's go!

[all] Tippy-toe, tippy-toe, tippy-toe.

[Jessie] I am an actress!

There's never been a role

that isn't perfect for my unlimited talent!

So get ready to feast your eyes on the cutest, smartest,

and most vivacious schoolgirl ever!

That's what an actress does! And that actress is moi!

[laughing]

Did she say vivacious?

That'll be the day.

Wobbuffet!

[panting]

-Yamper! -Eevee.

Eevee, eevee.

[Eevee panting]

Yamper.

[sniffing]

Yamper!

[pants]

Eevee.

[panting]

-[groans] -[Eevee panting continues]

[assistant pants] Look, there it is!

-Yamper! -[assistant pants]

[all panting]

[both assistants groan]

[Goh sighs] Am I sure of this answer?

No time. Next question.

Yes! I studied this with Ren!

All right! Thanks, Ren.

-[Yamper barking] -Huh?

[gasps]

Yamper! Yamper, yamper!

[shrieks]

-[Chloe] Excuse me! -Huh?

Is something wrong?

-[teacher] Chloe? -[panicked stuttering]

It's just… [stuttering]

It's… it's Yather, I mean it's Famper, I mean…

[teacher] Dear, go do what you need to do.

What are you doing here?

[panting]

[Yamper chatters]

What is wrong with you?

[panting] Yamper!

Hmm?

Hm.

[pants, barks]

Yamper! Yamper, yamper!

[panting]

[rustling]

[gasps]

Eevee! Vee!

Eevee?

[gasps]

[soft music]

Yamper.

[Yamper panting]

Where are you? Come out, Eevee!

When we catch you this time, you'll never escape again!

Eevee.

[gasps]

Eevee!

[Ash] Who's that Pokémon?

-Pika? -Eevee!

Pika, pika!

[Pikachu] Pikachu.

[Ash panting]

Oh, man. Yamper's gone without a trace!

Pikachu.

[Ash gasps] Isn't that Chloe and Goh's school?

Hmm.

Huh?

[Goh] What's the deal, Chloe? Calling me out here during class.

[shushing]

-[barks] -[Goh] Huh?

It's Yamper.

Huh?

[Goh] Eevee?

Quiet! [shushing]

Oh, sorry!

What are you doing out here with an Eevee?

-[Chloe] You see-- -Wow! Eevee's an amazing Pokémon

who can evolve into one of eight different forms

-that have been discovered so far! -Eight different forms?

That's so… amazing!

So… why are you hiding behind the hedge?

Some people are chasing Eevee.

-Huh? -[gasps]

[whispers] Those people over there!

Huh?

[assistant ] Where are you?

[assistant ] Eevee! You come out now!

Yeah, you're right. Pretty suspicious.

Sure is!

-[barks] -[Eevee] Eevee.

You'll be just fine!

I'm here to protect you, so don't worry!

Eevee.

[groans]

Eevee!

Where are you?

[Yamper grunts]

Don't worry.

-I'll take care of this somehow. -Huh?

Take Yamper and Eevee, and make a break for it!

Goh?

-[Goh] Something I can help with? -[both gasp]

Are you someone's parents?

-Oh, someone's parents? -Well, not quite.

-[both chuckle] -Why don't I call a teacher for you?

Oh, no, don't do that!

We're good.

You do know you're trespassing on school grounds.

-[both groan] -Huh?

Yamper, let's go!

Yamp, yamp!

-Eevee! There you are! -Huh!

[both scream]

[Goh] Run!

[gasps] Thanks, Goh!

[laughing]

There's nothing better than a breezy offer they can't refuse!

[Pokémon grunting]

Stop getting in the middle of our evilness!

-That's why they invented Hyper Mode! -[beeps]

-[Jessie mumbles] -[Pokémon exclaim]

[Cinderace grunts]

[all scream]

[yelps]

-Wowee, what a haul! -What a haul!

And we did it our way!

-Yay! -[Ash] What are you doing?

[all gasp]

-I saw that! They don't wanna go with you! -Pika!

-[Jessie] Twerp tirade! -[James and Meowth] With you-know-who!

[all chuckle evilly]

-[Ash screams, groans] -[Pikachu] Pika!

-Pi… -[Ash groans]

[groaning] Pikachu.

-We were expecting company… -So we used our top trap!

But that's all you get.

[assistant ] Hold it!

We've got company.

[Jessie] The brainy Twerp!

[both] And the Twerpette!

-Oh, no! -[gasps]

-[assistants] You can't escape! -[Goh, Chloe gasp]

Hand over Eevee at once!

-Just forget it! -She's right!

Certainly not to awful people like you two!

It's Goh.

Wait. It's not like we're villains or anything.

We're good guys.

We're Eevee Evolution Lab researchers. We've been working with Eevee!

You're really researchers? At a lab?

-[Ash] Hey, Goh, Chloe! Are you up there? -[both gasp]

Sounds like Ash!

[Ash] They were sucking Pokémon into that machine against their will!

[both gasp]

-[Chloe] The Pokémon! -[Goh] Sobble! Cinderace!

[Sobble] Sobble. Sobble!

-[Team Rocket whistling] -Sobble!

Cinder!

Hmm?

Give those Pokémon back now!

[all chuckle evilly]

Prepare for trouble, we'll do what we like!

And make it double, we're ready to strike!

To protect the world from devastation!

To unite all people within our nation!

To denounce the evils of truth and love!

To extend our reach to the stars above!

-Jessie! -And James!

Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!

Surrender now or prepare for a fact-finding fight!

Meowth, that's right!

Wobbuffet.

-[Pikachu] Pikachu! -[Ash] So it was Team Rocket?

[both] Come on down!

[imitates fanfare music]

[thuds]

[Meowth] Charm, don't fail me now.

[both] Ready, set… What are we gonna get?

[Meowth] Oy vey…

[Jessie and James] Our secret Rocket Prize… Master!

[Jessie] Huh? Our Prize Master isn't Mastering!

Maybe it's stuck! Ah!

[Meowth] Ow! You're giving me a Charm ache, wild man!

Empty…

Heads up, Pelipper!

The Poké ba*ls aren't coming out!

Make this right, or get ready for a fight!

Come on. It's not coming back.

-[imitates fanfare music] -[James] I stand corrected!

Taking pride in your work, eh?

-[squawks] -Quick, give it a command!

Huh?

Yamper! Yamper!

-What, Yamper? -Yamper, yamper.

-Let's do it! -Yamper, give it all you've got!

Yamper! Yamper!

Now, Pelipper, Wing Attack!

[squawks]

Yamper, use Spark!

Yamper! Yamper!

[grunts]

Eevee!

[Yamper grunts]

[squawks]

-Yamper! -[Yamper groaning]

Eevee.

Eevee? [gasps]

Eevee, eevee.

Yamper! Yamper! [crackles]

Ee…

Vee… [electricity crackles]

[both grunting]

-Huh? -Eevee.

[Chloe] You want to battle?

Eevee-vee.

So what are you waiting for?

Hurry up! Don't just stand there! Do the wrong thing!

Quick, Pelipper, use Hydro Pump!

You picked a strong move! Kudos, palley!

Wobbuffet!

-[grunts] -[blasts]

Yamper and Eevee, use Spark!

-Eevee! -Yamper!

[groans]

[screaming]

[Team Rocket] Huh?

-Yamper. -Eevee.

-Did you just see that? -Uh, uh-huh.

[Chloe] You worked really hard, both of you!

[Eevee and Yamper chattering]

-No time like the present… -[James] A chance…

To scram!

[Ash] Pikachu, use Iron Tail!

[Team Rocket groaning]

Pika… Pika!

[all scream]

It's Cinderace and Sobble!

-Cinderace! -Sobble!

[Ash] Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

[crackling] Ah! Pi…

Pika… chu!

-[all scream] -[blasts]

[all] Looks like we're blasting off again!

[Wobbuffet] Wobbuffet!

You did it, buddy!

Pi, pikachu!

[Chloe chuckles]

[Pinery] We're very sorry for the trouble we caused.

[assistants] We truly hope you'll forgive us.

It appears these two thought you were somebody you're not.

[both] We're sorry.

It's fine. Goodbye.

[sniffs, whines]

Yamper?

Eevee.

[somber music]

Eevee.

Eevee.

[tranquil music]

-Vee. -Huh?

Huh? Eevee?

[panting]

Eevee!

[gasps] Huh?

-[chuckles] -[happy grunt]

Eevee-vee. Eevee-vee. Eevee. Eevee.

This Eevee really likes Chloe, don't you think?

-[Pinery] It would seem so. -[both gasp]

It's unique.

It doesn't seem to be able to evolve

no matter what stone we try to use.

Out of eight possible Pokémon, it won't evolve into any?

[Pinery] Mm-hm.

All Eevee possess unstable DNA from the start

so it just may be this Eevee's DNA

is a little bit more unstable than usual.

Or perhaps it hasn't found its true path just yet

and is feeling a little lost.

A little lost?

Though that theory is unscientific.

Say, Chloe?

If it's all right with you, would you mind looking after Eevee?

Huh?

I can tell you wanna stay with Chloe, don't you, Eevee?

[gasps]

Eevee!

Eevee.

[soft chuckle]

Is it really all right?

Of course!

Eevee.

So, Chloe's first catch is Eevee. Ready?

[Goh] That's about as ready as it gets!

Eevee?

I really wanna be your partner, too.

Eevee.

Yamper?

-All right, that's Chloe's first catch! -Way to go, Chloe!

All right, Eevee.

Come on out!

Eevee!

-[laughing] -[Yamper barking]

[excited chattering]

[all giggling]

They're already acting like old friends!

Thank goodness!

-[Cerise] Chloe? -[all] Huh?

I put a Rotom in your phone.

Your very own Rotom phone!

-Go ahead. Check it out! -[soft chuckle]

-[Chloe] Eevee. -Eh?

[Rotom phone] Eevee. The Evolution Pokémon.

A Normal type. Because of its unstable DNA,

Eevee possesses a wide variety of evolutionary possibilities

hidden inside.

A variety of evolutionary possibilities.

Or perhaps it hasn't found its true path just yet

and is feeling a little lost.

Hmm.

Let's take our time while we find our paths together!

[narrator] Now that Eevee is Chloe's first partner,

her adventures as a Pokémon Trainer have just begun!

The possibilities are endless, as the journey continues!
