NARRATOR Today our heroes are on a new adventure

exploring the Orange Islands

as Ash sets out to qualify for the Orange League.

[HAPPY]

- I think Lapras is having fun. - Yeah.

And even with all of us riding, Lapras has really good speed.

[EXCITED]

[laughing]

[SCARED]

Oh, no!

[RELIEVED]

That was a close one, wasn't it, Pikachu?

[AGREEMENT]

We're not really in a hurry

so you don't have to rush, Lapras.

Yeah, we ought to just take our time and enjoy the ride.

[AGREEMENT]

Except, I would like to get something to eat soon.

[AGREEMENT]

Yeah, I'm kinda hungry, too.

Well, we could get something on Mikan Island if you want.

- Mikan Island? - Yeah.

One of the Orange League Gyms is there, too.

There's an Orange League Gym there, huh?

Did you hear that, Pikachu?

We can go and challenge the Gym Leader.

[AGREEMENT]

Alright! Full speed ahead to Mikan Island!

[EXCITED]

[AGREEMENT]

[Jessie laughing]

We're on the trail of the Twerps. Full speed ahead.

Can't it be no speed ahead 'cause I'm pooped.

- Meowth, too. Uh.. - Uh..

JESSIE 'Ah! We're sinking!'

[groaning]

Now stop complaining and start pedaling.

But, Jessie, we've been pedaling down here all day.

Well, we just lost the Boss's blimp

and if we don't come up with some rare Pokémon fast

he's going to kick us off Team Rocket for good!

JAMES 'That's ridiculous!'

The Boss can't just discard me like an old shoe.

We gotta capture a Pokémon this time

or the Boss is gonna give us all the boot.

[grunting]

- The pedals are stuck! - 'Do something, quick!'

JESSIE 'I don't want to be buried at sea!'

ASH Fit To Be Tide

TRACEY 'Well, there's Mikan Island.'

ASH 'Good work, Lapras. Return.'

Now we'll take you to the Pokémon Center

for a treatment.

Hi, Professor Oak. Just wanted to call and say hello!

Oh, excellent.

And how are Pikachu and Togepi doing today?

[EXCITED]

Uh, I'm doing fine, too, Professor Oak.

Oh? And who might you be?

Oh, my name's Tracey Sketchit, professor.

Tracey's a Pokémon watcher, professor.

- Ah, a Pokémon watcher. - Yes.

And I've admired your work for a long time, professor, and I..

[EXERTION]

[chuckles] Oh, Muk, take it easy now.

[laughing] Oh, professor, I almost forgot to tell you.

- I caught a Lapras. - That's great news, Ash.

Now, be sure to train it well.

- I sure will. - Stop hanging on me, Muk.

We'll talk to you again soon, professor.

[PLAYFUL]

[laughing]

- Ha-ha-ha! - Huh?

I can't believe I have friends

who are friends with Professor Oak!

Professor Oak was the one who gave me Pikachu.

I had no idea Professor Oak was that famous.

Are you kidding?

I bet just about every Pokémon watcher in the world

dreams of having one of their reports

reviewed by Professor Oak. I sure hope I get to meet him.

Sounds like Professor Oak's a superstar.

I guess I'll have to get his autograph then. Ha-ha.

[AGREEMENT]

Tracey, I hate to change the subject

but what's the Mikan Gym Leader like?

They say the Mikan Gym Leader's

one of the toughest Trainers in the Orange Crew.

A match with one of the toughest Trainers in the Orange Crew!

Now, I can hardly wait! Let's get going!

[AGREEMENT]

TRACEY 'There, Ash, that's the Mikan Gym up ahead.'

Alright!

[panting]

Huh?

[chuckles]

A coconut! I'll just cr*ck it open and drink the milk.

Hm.

[gurgling]

[SHOCKED]

- Ash. - You're soaking wet.

[SHOCKED]

[laughing] I got ya, I got ya.

Got me? Uh..

'Oh, it was a trap!'

[laughs] You can't be a very good Trainer

if you fell for a trick like that.

Oh, yeah, well, I was good enough to compete

in the Indigo Pokémon League.

Oh, the Indigo Pokémon League?

What place did you come in? Dead last?

Ah! I was in the top .

If that was the best you could do

you might as well go home.

The Orange League's a whole lot tougher.

You come inside and watch how tough I am!

If you want to get in, you have to battle me.

You wanna battle, huh? I'll show you a battle.

CISSY 'Are you starting trouble again?'

You're supposed to be inside cleaning your room.

Ah, I was, Cissy, but then I, uh

I caught this kid sneaking around.

That isn't true! I'm a Trainer.

And I came to challenge the Gym Leader.

Oh, you did? Well, my name is Cissy.

I am the Mikan Gym Leader and I accept your challenge.

I was expecting a guy Trainer.

I guess she b*at all the guys. Hm?

TRACEY Hm, I need to make some observations.

Hey, just what is it you're observing?

[CURIOUS]

Well, since you're such a little squirt

let's use Water Pokémon.

Who are you calling squirt?

[chuckling]

[AMUSED]

Squirt, squirt, squirt, squirt, squirt!

And you better be quiet 'cause you're an even littler squirt.

Okay, how many Pokémon do we each use to battle?

That's not the way we do things around here.

In the Orange Island Gyms we do a lot more than

just have our Pokémon battle each other.

- Well, what does that mean? - 'You'll see what I mean.'

We'll decide the match with two challenges.

- Hit it. - Right!

[gasping]

- 'What are those cans for?' - Wait and see.

Whoa!

Seadra, I choose you!

[APPEARING]

[EXERTION]

What is that?

Seadra, the Dragon Pokémon.

It is known for its horrible disposition

but possesses both strength and speed.

It isn't gonna win any beauty contests, either.

[EXERTION]

[WATER g*n MOVE]

Uh, hey, that's no fair!

[ANNOYED]

Huh, well, it's never fair to judge by looks.

Let's start the match with a Water g*n challenge.

How do you have a Water g*n challenge?

The Trainers pick whichever Pokémon

have the best Water g*n att*ck

and they compete against each other in a test.

'In my Gym, the Pokémon compete like athletes do'

'using their skills head to head, one on one.'

Oh.

I think I'll let my Seadra warm up first.

Seadra, Water g*n now!

[WATER g*n MOVE]

Not bad for a first try.

[PLEASED]

- Uh.. - Interesting att*ck.

I never saw anything like it.

Well, now why don't we get started?

And pick the Pokémon that can knock over the most cans

'with its Water g*n.'

Then I choose you, Squirtle!

[APPEARING]

[EXCITED]

Squirtle, this isn't like any battle before

but I'm counting on you.

[AGREEMENT]

I have to admit, that looks

like a very good Squirtle you've got.

I just hope it's a good loser.

Water g*n now!

[WATER g*n MOVE]

Wow, Seadra hit every one of them dead center.

I don't know if Squirtle can match that.

[WORRIED]

Okay, Squirtle, ready, aim, fire!

[EXERTION]/[WATER g*n MOVE]

Well, Squirtle's just as good!

[AGREEMENT]

Maybe if my sketches are good enough

I can send them to Professor Oak

and he can review them.

[AGREEMENT]

Psyduck, we don't need any headaches right now

so get back in your Poké Ball.

[AGREEMENT]

[WATER g*n MOVE]

Ah.

[PLAYFUL]

Psyduck, that GS Ball isn't a toy.

Now get back in your Poké Ball

before I start bouncing you around.

[SAD]

[WATER g*n MOVE]

Alright, Squirtle, great job!

Not too bad.

Next we'll try moving targets.

- Okay. - Here they come.

ASH Whoa!

Well, Seadra, are you ready?

[AGREEMENT]

- Fire! - Okay!

[WATER g*n MOVE]

Good sh*t!

Yeah, I'm trying to capture how Seadra looks

'just before it fires!'

Triple!

[WATER g*n MOVE]

Whoa!

Now let's see Squirtle match that.

We'll sure try! Are you ready, Squirtle?

[AGREEMENT]

Let 'em fly!

[WATER g*n MOVE]

Great! Now go for three!

[WATER g*n MOVE]

Yeah!

[PLEASED]

You did it, Squirtle!

[HAPPY]

Pretty good.

Now we'll both aim for the same target

and whoever hits it first wins the match.

A quick draw contest! Cool!

Everybody get ready now.

[WATER g*n MOVE]

Well, which won, Tracey?

They hit at the same time.

It looked that way to me, too, so this match is a draw.

[AGREEMENT]

Uh..

Great job, Squirtle! You really came through!

[PLEASED]

Now what do we do?

Don't you worry, little brother.

The way to break the tie is with a Pokémon wave ride.

Pokémon wave ride?

GROUP Who's that Pokémon?

GROUP It's Primeape!

[EXERTION]

CISSY Are you sure you're up for a Pokémon wave ride?

Yeah, just tell me what it is.

The Pokémon just have to swim around that flag and come back.

- Whoever gets back first wins. - Well, this will be easy!

Blastoise, I choose you!

[EXERTION]

There's gotta be a way to b*at Blastoise

and I know how.

Lapras, I choose you!

[AGREEMENT]

Lapras, you think we can win a little swimming race?

[AGREEMENT]

Yeah, that's the spirit!

Lapras is one of the strongest swimmers there is.

Well, let's get started.

As soon as this goes off, the race will start!

- Are you ready? - Ready!

[groaning]

Do you guys need first aid?

[gasping]

Prepare for tropical trouble.

Make it desert-island double.

It's the same thing every time.

They change the first part a little bit.

Do you know what those people are talking about?

[chuckles] Not exactly, but we're used to it by now.

- Jessie. - James.

Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light.

Surrender now or prepare to fight, fight, fight.

Meowth, that's right.

- Uh.. - Uh..

It's so good to breathe fresh air.

[sobbing] For a minute there I thought

we weren't going to make it.

Nine lives flashed before my eyes.

ASH Can you go away now?

Go away? Do you know what we went through to get here?

Our sub got tangled in the seaweed

so we decided one of us would have to swim out

and untangle it.

TEAM ROCKET The odd finger is it!

JESSIE/MEOWTH James goes! James goes! James goes!

JAMES I volunteered to go outside and take a look.

[grunting]

I was able to free the sub

and then it just floated away.

I started swimming as fast as I could

not knowing whether I'd make it to the surface in time or not.

It was like some awful made-for-TV movie.

[sobbing]

Ah! Quit your whining and get over yourself.

- Look over there! - Huh?

MEOWTH 'We got a sh*t at a two-for-one deal.'

You're right, I'll make this a touching story

of personal triumph over personal tragedy.

Weezing, go!

[EXERTION]/[att*ck]

[coughing]

Fire the net!

[SHOCKED]

Oh, no, the net's not big enough for both.

We can always come back for a second helping.

- Ah.. - Ah..

BLASTOISE [WORRIED]

Hey, we got to save Blastoise!

Do something!

I think Blastoise can handle those three.

Uh, something's wrong. We're not moving forward.

The pedals won't budge.

No, not again, it can't be.

Let's all just push as hard as we can!

[grunting]

[gasping]

[EXERTION]

This is the end.

Guess we'll never get to blast off again.

[sobbing]

- Hey, I know. - Know what?

Do you have an idea?

Whenever a car gets stuck in the mud or the snow

and it won't move, all you have to do

is have everybody get out and push it.

- Ah. - Ah.

So why don't we all just swim outside

and give this submarine a push?

- Good idea. It's worth a try! - Good idea. It's worth a try!

[CURIOUS]

[EXERTION]

[gasping]

[groaning]

[gasping]

[EXERTION]

You were right about Blastoise.

Told ya.

[PLEASED]

Why do I feel like the catch of the day?

Because the Boss is gonna have us on a platter.

[gasping]

Come on, we can still get two Pokémon on the half shell.

- Ha. - Ha.

Those guys never learn. Go, Pikachu!

[THUNDER SHOCK MOVE]

[screaming]

[WATER g*n MOVE]

[screaming]

TEAM ROCKET Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!

Well, now that we got Team Rocket out of the way..

Let's start the race. Are you ready?

[AGREEMENT]

Get out there and do your best, Lapras.

[AGREEMENT]

- 'Well, get on.' - Huh?

The Trainer stands on the Pokémon in wave ride.

[gasping]

[SURPRISED]

[screaming]

This looks dangerous, Ash.

Maybe you should forget it!

Don't worry! Don't worry, I'll be just fine!

Are you sure you don't wanna quit before you get beaten?

Ha! I'm a winner, not a quitter.

Ready?

'Go!'

Let's go, Cissy!

You can b*at her!

[AGREEMENT]

[screaming]

Okay, Lapras, try to move over to the inside!

[AGREEMENT]

Don't let 'em go there, Blastoise!

[AGREEMENT]

[PAINED]

Go, Cissy!

Whoa, Blastoise almost knocked Ash off.

And Lapras isn't as strong as Blastoise.

Uh, try for the inside again!

[AGREEMENT]

[PAINED]

You've got a lot of guts, but we've got strength!

Bash them, Blastoise!

[AGREEMENT]

[PAINED]

Ah!

- Ah! He's falling! - Huh?

[screaming] Ah..

Thanks, Lapras, nice catch.

[PLEASED]

[chuckling]

Okay, Lapras, let's go for it!

[AGREEMENT]

- You can do it! - Come on, Ash!

[EXCITED]

Don't let him b*at ya!

You're better than I thought you'd be.

And so are you.

- Huh? Ah! - Huh? Ah!

- Look out! - Oh, no!

[screaming]

[ICE BEAM MOVE]

That's an Ice Beam.

[screaming]

- Cissy! - Blastoise!

[EXERTION]

[RELIEVED]

You saved me, Blastoise.

[PLEASED]

Way to go, Blastoise!

She really has that Blastoise trained.

She's great!

Come on, Blastoise! Let's catch up!

[AGREEMENT]

We'll see you at the finish line!

I have an idea. Aim an Ice Beam straight to the shore.

[ICE BEAM MOVE]

Okay, Lapras, let's get on top of the ice.

[AGREEMENT]

[EXCITED]

You think Lapras is faster on ice than it is in water?

We'll find out now.

Well, this battle isn't over yet.

[EXCITED]

Come on, Ash, you can b*at her!

Don't let him win!

- Huh! - Ah!

Huh!

[HAPPY]

[chuckling] Ah!

[CONCERNED]

[chuckles] Pikachu!

- I guess we won it! - Well, it was a great race.

And it was pretty smart of you to use Lapras' Ice Beam

to freeze the water.

Yeah, that was the coolest.

I can see why you made it so far in the Indigo League

and I bet you'll do pretty well in the Orange League, too.

This is the Coral-Eye badge of the Mikan Gym

proof that you've won your match.

- Hm. It looks like a shell! - Yes.

All of the badges from the Orange League Gyms are shells.

Thanks, Cissy!

Uh, yeah!

I won a Coral-Eye badge!

[EXCITED]

That was great, Ash!

Yeah, but he didn't do it by himself. Right, Lapras?

[PROUD]

[EXCITED]

MISTY I wish I had a cool badge like that.

I should have challenged her myself.

[chuckles] You have to be a good Trainer to win one.

- What does that mean? - Come on, guys.

Let's just be happy we got to see

such a great Trainer in action.

Huh?

I thought you're supposed to be a Pokémon watcher.

Uh, oh, yeah.

[Tracey and Ash laughing]

Hm..

NARRATOR And so with his first new badge in hand

Ash is on his way to competing in the Orange League

but will all his opponents be this tough or this easy?

ASH Don't go away, Pikachu's Jukebox is next.
