NARRATOR Last time, our heroes returned to Pallet Town

where some shocking surprises awaited them.

First came an unexpected reunion

with our old buddy, Brock.

Say, why isn't he still with Professor Ivy?

I don't wanna talk about it.

NARRATOR Next, our heroes brought the mysterious GS Ball

to Professor Oak only to suffer new shocks

as a surprise att*ck from Team Rocket

rendered them helpless until who else

but Ash's rival, Gary Oak, came to their rescue.

Now, the two foes are about to face off

in their first ever Pokémon battle.

ASH "The Rivalry Revival!"

[CONCERNED]

Maybe the best way to do this

is for each of us to pick just one Pokémon

and have a one on one battle to the finish.

That's fine with me!

[CONFIDENT]

Ugh. I'm gonna battle with Pikachu.

[CHALLENGING]

Just as I thought.

Good choice. I choose you!

[PLEASED]

- Eevee. - Eevee's so cute.

Looks can be deceiving.

- Huh?

[CHALLENGING]

BROCK 'You see that shiny coat'

'and those bright eyes?'

Gary's raised it very well.

Yeah, Brock's right.

I bet it's ready to evolve into a Flareon

a Jolteon or a Vaporeon.

BROCK 'Alright.'

I think we should get this match started.

BROCK 'This is a one-on-one Pokémon battle.'

Pikachu versus Eevee, with no time limit.

Begin the battle now!

[EAGER]

Pay attention and maybe you'll learn somethin'

like how to make the top sixteen in the Pokémon League

and win the Orange League!

I'm here to battle, not to talk.

What about you?

I'm here to b*at you, Gary!

Pikachu, Quick att*ck!

Eevee, Reflect att*ck now!

[EXERTION]

[FRUSTRATED]

I've seen a lot of Reflect att*cks

but never one like that!

Huh?

Does it look to you like Eevee

felt even half of Pikachu's Quick att*ck?

Not to me.

TRACEY 'It looks more like it didn't feel it at all.'

I guess that means Gary's Eevee is at a really high level.

Pikachu, Thunderbolt att*ck!

[THUNDERBOLT att*ck MOVE]

Eevee, Double Team now!

[DOUBLE TEAM MOVE]

Whoa!

[AGGRESSIVE]

Stop, Pikachu, it's no use!

Don't waste your electricity!

Eevee, Take Down att*ck!

[WARY]/[TAKE DOWN att*ck MOVE]

Quick, Pikachu, use Agility now!

[AGILITY MOVE]/[DISORIENTED]

Now, use Thunder att*ck!

[CONCENTRATED]

Eevee, use your Skull Bash!

[SKULL BASH MOVE]

[THUNDER att*ck MOVE]

Eevee's a lot stronger than it looks!

I think Pikachu's in real trouble!

[DETERMINED]

[PAINED]

Oh!

[STUNNED]

This match is over!

Eevee is the winner.

Oh!

Pikachu!

[EXHAUSTED]

Hey, that was a tough battle. You were great.

[PLEASED]

At least, they tried their best.

Hmm!

Eevee!

[PLEASED]

That was good work, Eevee, they're a tough team.

Well, Gary, it looks like all that training you've been doing

has really paid off and I must say

I'm very impressed with your progress.

Thanks, but I've still got a lot of work ahead of me.

GARY 'You did a great job, Ash.'

'Eevee, Return!'

Goodbye, grandpa.

Hey, Gary, next time it's gonna be different!

[JOYFUL]

[CONTENT]

[yawning]

Want to know where Gary is?

Why should I care?

He's out on a new journey already.

He is? To where?

PROFESSOR OAK 'Oh.'

Aren't your scanners coming up with any information

about the GS Ball, professor?

I'm afraid not and I have to admit

that I didn't expect it to be quite so difficult.

- Professor Oak? - Ash, what is it?

Misty says Gary's on a new journey.

That's right, that's the reason he's been

training so hard lately.

Hmm!

Have you been able to figure out anything about the GS Ball yet?

Nothing so far.

PROFESSOR OAK 'I'm totally stumped.'

Wow, if you can't solve the mystery

and Professor Ivy couldn't solve it, then..

Hm?

Ah!

That name!

Oops!

Misty, I'm just a Pokémon watcher

but my advice is to watch what you say around Brock

especially about you know who.

MISTY 'Right.'

I just can't figure out who made this GS Ball or why.

Where did Gary go?

Oh, Ash, I thought you knew all about it.

It seems my grandson's decided to head out west

to enter the Johto League.

Johto? What's that?

PROFESSOR OAK Oh, it's a very challenging league.

Trainers have to compete and win battles and badges

at a number of gyms in the western territories

to qualify for the championship.

Gary's planning to battle as many other trainers as he can.

He hopes that with all the experience he gets

he'll become an even stronger trainer.

I got to do that too.

If I'm gonna become a Pokémon master

then I have to battle with the best.

So, I'm gonna try for this Johto League!

[EXCITED]

I know we can make it, Pikachu.

[PLEASED]

And I will become a Pokémon master.

I just have to start training as hard as I can.

MISTY 'That's right, Ash, ever since the Orange League'

'you've been getting a little lazy.'

Ugh! I have not been getting lazy!

Well, if you haven't been lazy

then how come you lost your battle with Gary?

- Hey! - Come on. Come on, you guys.

Let's not fight!

I guess, I should've known you two

wouldn't get along without me.

ASH/MISTY What're you talking about, Brock?

With me around, you'll start training right

eating right, and fighting right, just like you used to.

Uh, you mean you're..

- Yeah, Brock's back! - Ah!

- Huh? - Huh?

We're headed for new adventures,

new challenges, new achievements!

BROCK 'My friends, we're heading west!'

That sounds fine, Brock, but west is this way!

[EAGER]

Right, but whatever direction we take

we're headed for action!

[grunts]

[EXUBERANT]

[ENTHUSIASTIC]

I'll bring my own map.

[ENTHUSIASTIC]

Yeah!

PROFESSOR OAK 'I'm giving this back to you, Ash.'

I need you to help me find out more about it.

Huh?

ASH 'What do you want me to do, professor?'

Hm!

Uh, who's that?

PROFESSOR OAK 'That is Kurt, the famous Poké Ball designer.'

Oh!

PROFESSOR OAK 'If anyone can figure out'

'the GS Ball, it's Kurt.'

Ash, I'd like you to go to Azalea Town

and take the ball to him.

But, professor, if we go to see Kurt

Ash'll miss the Johto League.

No, no, no, no.

It won't take you out of your way

and I'm sure Ash would enjoy meeting him, right?

I sure would, professor, Kurt's like a big celebrity!

This will work out perfectly.

Take the GS Ball and head straight west to New Bark Town

where great things await you, that's why they call it

"Town where winds of new beginnings blow."

[screaming]

Oh, what do you mean "New beginnings?"

New beginnings in the Johto League, of course.

As luck would have it, New Bark Town is the place

where all trainers have to sign up to participate

and compete in the Johto League!

Great, we'll go there first.

Then take the GS Ball to Kurt in Azalea Town.

Mm-hmm. Don't forget, I'm counting on you.

Just leave it to me.

[CONFIDENT]

And don't you worry, professor

I'll be there to keep my eye

on 'em the whole time.

You mean, you'll keep your eye on us the whole time

there's not a pretty girl in sight.

[chuckling]

Well, maybe I am a little more interested in girls

than I am in geography.

Maybe just a little.

[laughing]

ASH/MISTY/TRACEY Who's that Pokémon?

ASH/MISTY/TRACEY It's Dewgong!

[APPEARING]

[CONTENT]

ASH 'Hey, mom!'

Huh?

- It's us! - Hello!

Hi!

[FRIENDLY]

Well, I heard everything went well.

[EXCITED]

What're you doing with my backpack?

I'm putting in some fresh you know what.

I was just on the phone with Professor Oak.

So, I'm packing things up for you.

Uh..

- Here. - Then you know I'm leaving?

It'll be great.

In the Johto League, there'll be new trainers

and new Pokémon and new everything.

But don't worry!

I know you're disappointed I'm leaving

but Mr. Mime will be able to fill in for me.

Well, I better get to work and cook up a big

bon voyage dinner in honor of this joyous occasion!

You don't have to be that happy.

Oh, come on, Ash!

Yeah, I think a big going-away dinner sounds like fun.

And of course, I'll invite Professor Oak too.

Brock, would you mind running to the market for a few things?

Mrs. Ketchum, your wish is my command.

Just say the word and I'm at your service.

Huh!

[grunting]

I'll do it!

After tomorrow..

[grunting]

[COMPETITIVE]

That's scary.

Worst part is, they forgot my shopping list.

- Hurry back. - Huh?

[groaning]

I'd sell my soul to rest my soles.

Let's take a pause so I can rest my paws.

JESSIE 'Let's see what that sign says.'

"Pallet Town, one mile."

That way.

Hey, you two, look sharp!

Sure does.

That's not what I meant! Look there!

Huh? That kid again!

JESSIE 'What should we do?'

I say we stick it to that stuck-up Gary!

Good idea!

If we get him and Pikachu, we'll have a brat and a rat!

[laughs]

We're up on stage, so prepare for trouble!

It's curtains for you, so make it double!

To protect the world from devastation.

To unite all peoples within our nation.

Jessie.

James.

Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light.

Surrender now or prepare to fight, fight, fight.

That's right!

That kid just walked off and made a fool of me!

I feel so inadequate!

Well, I guess our show just closed on the road.

[sighing]

- Let's go. - Right.

Huh? Hey, get back here and spring me from this spring!

MOM 'Here's to you, honey.'

- 'Bottoms up!' - 'Good luck!'

Uh, bet I won't get a great dinner like this

until I get back from the Johto League!

Well, dig in everybody!

[munching]

Great!

Oh, good, I wanted everything

to be just perfect

for you and your friends!

Well, here it goes.

This is so delicious, Mrs. Ketchum.

Ash, you got to try some of this!

Okay.

Mm. Hey, that's great too, mom!

I wish I could take all the credit but Brock made dinner!

He did?

Well, I guess he must've found a really great cookbook

when he was working on Valencia Island with Professor Ivy?

Oops.

Hey, Brock.

What's the matter?

I don't wanna talk about it.

Talk about what?

She mentioned that name.

Uh, your dinner's getting cold.

So, Ash, my boy, you'll be running into lots of Pokémon

you've never seen before out west.

And I bet you'll even get the chance to capture some of them.

It'll be great.

I can't wait to get started!

[EXCITED]

Ash, I have a little something for you.

PROFESSOR OAK 'I think this may really come in handy.'

Alright, a brand new Pokédex!

This new model is loaded with anything and everything

you need to know about the abilities

temperaments and habitats of the new Pokémon you encounter.

Thanks!

[chuckles]

POKEDEX This unit belongs to Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town.

It'll be so great to see all the new Pokémon

you send back here to the professor and me.

What do you mean "Back to the professor and me"?

Well, the professor is gonna let me be

his assistant here at the lab!

That's great.

I mean, I wish you were coming with us

but I kind of had a feeling you might wind up staying here.

Yes, as soon as I met Tracey

I knew he wanted to be my assistant

but it took a while for him to get up the nerve to ask.

[laughs]

Ash taught me to always go for what you really want!

That's right, Trace!

And the next thing I really want is seconds!

Here's to all your new beginnings!

[CELEBRATORY]

- Huh? - Huh?

Hello!

We're here to cover this very special occasion!

- Live! - Live!

- Here's our little star. - Excuse me.

Let's get a close up of the food!

Got it!

JESSIE 'Oh, would you just look at'

the selection of incredible edibles!'

Mm-mm.

This is the best news I've covered in a long time.

JESSIE 'Uh, what a young, attractive'

'vibrant group, mostly.'

With such a fine group of friends behind him

it's no wonder that this Twer..

I mean, this terrific young man is so--

Just who are you people?

- Ready for your close-up? - Oh.

This is a heart-warming story of a mother's abiding love

and a son's insatiable hunger for adventure.

[munching]

He may be starved for affection..

...but he craves the open road!

And now those close to him celebrate his departure

even though this young may never return home to mommy!

This reporter would like to apologize

for that momentary lapse in professionalism.

You look familiar!

I want to remind you viewers that we're coming to you live.

L-I-V-E, live!

[munching]

I hope we've provided all of you watching out there

with some food for thought!

[PERPLEXED]

Ah!

Now we'll capture this charming Pokémon for our camera!

Cameraman, move in close for a sh*t and grab it!

JAMES 'Say cheese!'

[PLEASANT]

[laughing]

- Hey, you two! - They're not reporters!

We're a breaking story!

But we won't cover it!

Wait!

[grunting]

Mimie, don't let them trample my garden!

[LIGHT SCREEN MOVE]

- Uh? - Uh?

Now what? What's this window?

Mr. Mime's Light Screen!

[LIGHT SCREEN MOVE]

- Ah! - Ah!

It's about time you two showed up!

Smile for the camera, Meowth!

[laughing]

[DISTRESSED]

Heh! That was a snap!

- 'Pikachu!' - Oh!

Use your Thundershock att*ck and blow that thing to pieces!

[THUNDERSHOCK att*ck MOVE]

Shock all you want but you'll never blast your way

out of this rubber reinforced camera case!

Then I'll use..

[CHALLENGING]

Scyther really moves!

Scyther, use your Slash att*ck!

[SLASH att*ck MOVE]

- Huh? - Huh?

[SLASH att*ck MOVE]

[RELIEVED]

[mumbling]

Pikachu, show them your Thunderbolt att*ck!

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH No, not that!

[THUNDERBOLT att*ck MOVE]

[screaming]

Yeah!

Marill, go!

[EAGER]

Marill, use Water g*n now!

[WATER g*n MOVE]

[screaming]

This concludes our live coverage!

- Tune in next time! - Argh!

JESSIE/JAMES/MEOWTH 'Team Rocket signing off again!'

Wow, it's great to see them go away again!

[DELIGHTED]

SCYTHER/MARILL [FATIGUED]/[EXCITED]

PIKACHU [THANKFUL]

Thanks a lot, Tracey.

Don't thank me, Ash.

Thank the Pokémon.

They deserve the credit.

Scyther, you b*at 'em.

[PROUD]/[IMPRESSED]

[AGITATED]

And don't forget Marill's Water g*n, Ash!

Thanks to you too, Marill.

[PLEASED]

And let's not forget who protected my garden

from that awful Team Rocket!

[HUMBLE]

Mr. Mime did a great job guarding it for you.

PROFESSOR OAK 'Guarding, get it?'

[laughing]

Well, Pikachu, we leave for the Johto League

first thing in the morning.

[SLEEPY]

It would of been nice to spend a few weeks here

but when you're a Pokémon Trainer

you got to keep moving.

[AGREEMENT]

It's too bad.

I'm really gonna miss Tracey not being with all of us

when we head out west.

I sure am glad Brock's coming with us.

[PLEASED]

I think we can win that Johto League. How about you?

[CONFIDENT]

Hmm!

Visit my mom so she doesn't get lonesome.

- Don't worry, I will. - Thanks, Trace.

Give my regards to Kurt when you bring him the GS Ball.

I sure will, professor.

I promise I won't let him forget!

And I promise I'll remind her!

[VALIANT]

Don't you trust me either? Well, I do forget sometimes!

Mm-hmm.

Don't forget to help each other

when the going gets tough and always do your best.

ASH/MISTY/BROCK Right!

- 'Ash?' - Huh?

Remember to change what we talked about changing every day!

Don't worry, I will.

I'm going to miss you.

[chuckles]

Goodbye for now, Pallet Town!

But we'll be back again!

I'll bring you another trophy!

You just bring yourself back, Ash.

That's the only prize I want.

It must be hard to see him go.

[sighs]

- But he'll be back again. - Mm-hmm!

NARRATOR And so our heroes are leaving Pallet Town once again.

This time they're headed west and it seems certain that

the road before them leads to new adventures

new friends, new rivals

and new Pokémon.

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