Okay, Misty. So long!
Psy...
[soft emotional music]
[both exclaim]

Traveling together with you again

was really fun!

[both] Mm-hm.
Tell your sisters at the Cerulean City Gym

that Brock sends his fond regards

to all of them!


And I'll be by in the future...

[screams]


-...to say hi in person...

-[Misty and Ash laugh]


-Ash, Brock, see you!

-Psy!


-[Ash] Later!

-[Pikachu] Pika!

[Brock] Take care, okay?
Here we are. Pewter City's this way.

-See ya, Ash.

-Goodbye. Safe travels.


-Pika!

-Let's go, Croagunk.

[Croagunk grunts]
Good luck! Bye-bye!

Take care!

We've gotta do this again sometime!

[Pikachu] Pika, pika!
[gentle music]
[both exclaim]

-Pika!

-[Ash chuckles]

[Ash]
"The Rainbow

And The Pokémon Master!"


-[Mimey hums]

-[Pikachu yelps]


-[Mimey exclaims]

-Mimey, I'm home!

Hey, Mom, I'm back!
Oh, my! Welcome back, Ash, dear.

-Hmm?

-[Pikachu mumbles]


-[Delia] First things first.

-[Pikachu yelps]


-[Pikachu yelps excitedly]

-[Ash laughs]


[sighs]

Nothing like a soak in the tub!

[chitters in agreement]
[both exhale sharply]

-[excited chitter]

-[Ash chuckles]

Now you've done it! All right...

How about a little Hydro Pump?

[grunts]


-[Pikachu grunts]

-[Ash groans]


-[Ash] Bubble Beam!

-[Pikachu yells]


-Yeah? Then I'll use Whirlpool!

-[Pikachu yells]


-[Pikachu grunts]

-No, wait! Just kidding! Argh!

Pikachu! It's time to eat!
[excited yelp]
Pikachu! Pika, pika...

-[excited yelp]

-Oh, my.


-Is that Pokémon food?

-Brock gave it all to us.

How nice! You were traveling with Brock?
And Misty too!

-I hope they're both doing well.

-Yeah.


They're the same as always.

Hey, guess what?

Tons of cool things happened to us, Mom!
[Ash] We even met up with Squirtle!

-You remember, don't you?

-[Pikachu] Pika!

The one who always wears sunglasses?

-Oh, oh, and, uh, also, uh...

-[Delia] Come on, Ash...


If you don't eat up quickly,

it'll get cold.


-[Ash] Sure. I'm digging in now!

-[Pikachu] Pika... Pikachu!

[calm music]
[yawns]

-I wonder how they are.

-Pika?


Latias and Latios.

I hope we meet up again.

Pikachu!
[birds chirping]
[crowing]
[door opens]
Hey, Ash?

[Delia chuckles]

Ash, wake up!


Weren't you going over

to Professor Oak's place?

Oh, yeah! That's right!

-Pikachu, let's go!

-Hold it. You're going like that?

Uh, I guess I should change...

-[Mimey hums]

-I'm off!


-[Mimey grunts]

-Ash!

Oh, did I forget something, Mom?
I got new shoes for you.
[Ash] Huh?
Uh... I think I'll pass for now.

[Ash grunts]

I'll be back soon!


-[Mimey chatters]

-Oh, my!

Ash! Pikachu!

-Good morning, Tracey!

-[Pikachu and Marill chitter]

Where're you going?

I've got to run an errand

for the Professor,

so I'll be out for a while.

-Take over while I'm gone.

-[Ash] Sure! Leave it to me!


Have Charmander, Squirtle,

and Bulbasaur arrived?


The Professor said I could see them

before they go to new Trainers.

They arrived a while ago.

The Professor will be giving them

their checkups.

Gotta see that!

-Pikachu, let's go!

-[Pikachu] Pika!


[Tracey] Well, Marill,

let's be on our way too.

[Marill yelps]
Hmm...

[Professor Oak]

Now, where could it have gone?

[yawns]
Well, this is a problem.

Hey there, good morning,

Professor Oak, how are you?


-You've arrived, young man.

-[Ash] Squirtle! Bulbasaur!

Huh? Where's Charmander?
[Professor Oak] I can't find it anywhere.

-I only looked away for a moment.

-Ugh?


Now could it be

that Charmander went outside?


I'll go look for it.

With some help from a few old friends.

Pika!

-Hey, Charmander!

-Pika!


-Gengar? Gengar!

-[calling]

[both chattering]
[all chatter]
[all chatter]
[Pokémon chattering]
[Pikachu grunts]
Pika!
Charmander, where are you?
[sniffs]

-Pika.

-Huh?

Pi...
Pika! Pikachu!
[Ash] You found it?
Uh...
Charmander!
[sad call]
Pikachu!
You're okay down there?
Is everything all right? Let me help you.
[Ash] Come on.

-Pika!

-Okay, then...

[Ash grunts softly]

See? There's nothing to be afraid of.

I'm almost there already.

[grunts, screams]
[thuds]

-[sighs in relief]

-[Charmander grunts]

Man, that was a close one!
[Charmander gasps]
[giggles]
Now that's a smile!

-[Charmander yelps]

-Oh?


-Ugh!

-[Charmander mumbles]


-Pika!

-What's with this? You can climb out?


-[excited yelp]

-Pikachu!

Okay, now it's my turn!
[effort grunt]

[grunts]

Uh? Huh?


-[Ash] Gary!

-[Gary grunts]

Hey, thanks for finding Charmander.

I'm the one who brought

these three guys to the lab.

Oh? Really? That was you?
Lucky you, huh? You got to go explore!
[Charmander chitters]

[Professor Oak]

Well, you really helped us out, my boy.


How wonderful! This means

we can finally do our health checks.


Now, everyone open your mouths wide.

Ahh...


-[Pokémon chitter]

-[Professor Oak] Ah! You do that so well!

[Ash] Heading out already?

[Gary] I may not look it,

but I'm pretty busy.


-Oh, hey, Ash...

-[Ash] Huh?

I still haven't mentioned it yet...
Congratulations on being Champ.
Uh... thanks a lot, Gary.
So, now that you're the Champion,

just how close are you

to becoming a Pokémon Master?

Uh...
Hmm.
[Gary] Later!
[pensive music]
Pika?

-[Pikachu calls]

-[gasps]


-It's nothing, really.

-Pika?

[distant crowing]
Pikachu! Race you back to the house!
[Pikachu exclaims]
[Ash] I wonder what's for dinner tonight?
[Pikachu] Pika, pika!
[Ash and Pikachu munching]
[both snoring]
[both gulping]

-[Tauros mooing]

-[Ash chuckles]

[all cheer gleefully]

-[Ash and Pikachu groan]

-[Mimey chuckles]


[gasps]

Welcome back, Tracey!


-[Pikachu] Pika!

-[Ash gasps]

[both exclaim in surprise]
Table , lunch is up!
I'll bring it right away!

They wanna order... These guys wanna

order... and I'm losing it!


-[Jessie] You're in the way!

-[screams, groans]


[Meowth] Okay,

I'm ready to take your order!

[Wobbuffet grunts]
[alarm chiming]
[all sigh]
Does that mean our break is over already?
It's hard being on your paws all day.
[Jessie] Upsee-daisy...
[all] Hmph!
[sobbing]
[vacuum cleaner whirring]
Where are you up to today?

-To Viridian Forest.

-Pika. Pikachu!

[Delia] Be sure to be back by dinnertime!
[Ash] Got it!

-Mimey, we're off!

-[chatters]

[chittering]
[Pokémon chittering]

Aw! Viridian Forest is

just the awesome-est!

Pika!
Now this is the only path for me.

[Meowth]

I'll just go around and head 'em off.

[Team Rocket] Ouch!

-[Ash gasps]

-Pika?


I know this brain-bruiser feeling

very well.


And I know

this not-so-charming charm feeling.

[both] Hey, Meowth! Shh!
Oh, man, Jessie... And you too, James...

Guess we had the same idea

at the same time.

That's natural!

I know that I shouldn't be

the flower of the cafeteria!

But evil!

Once we set our sights

on stealing Pikachu,

we three... are villains,
one in purpose and in mind!
[all chuckle]
[cries happily]
[exciting music]
[all] Hmph!

[Meowth] Yes, the scene of the crime

suits us best!


-Now that we've decided...

-We charge right in!

[yelling]
[Jessie] Gourgeist, use Seed b*mb!

-[Gourgeist chitters]

-[Ash grunts]

[gasps, screams]
Pikachu!

-Pika?

-What's that about?

Prepare for trouble. Experience knows!
And make it double, 'cause we're old pros!
To protect the world from devastation!
To unite all people within our nation!

To denounce the evils

of truth and of 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 fauna-covered fight!

Meowth, that's right!
[excited yelp]
[all crying]
[angry grunt]
Pikachu! Wait a sec!

Ugh, ugh...

[gasps]


[screams]

My other Pokémon are at the lab!

Pika...

[Team Rocket laugh]

A bit too careless!

Wobbuffet!
[grumbles]

-[shouts]

-Gourgeist, use Shadow Ball!

[Gourgeist yells]
[grunts, grumbles]
[distant yowling]
[Team Rocket] What? Wha-what?
Pika!
[yowling]

[Ash]
Who's that Pokémon?


-Pika!

-[Pikachu]
Pikachu!

Pika, pika!
[suspenseful music]

-[yowling]

-[Team Rocket grunt]

Pika!
Pidgeot! You saved us!
What's going on?

[Meowth] I think

the Twerp's Pidgeotto evolved.

[Team Rocket exclaim]
Now! Thunderbolt, let's go!
[attacking grunt]
[Team Rocket scream]
[Team Rocket whimper]
That shock really makes the body numb.
But I want that Pikachu all the more!

-[James] Team Rocket!

-[Jessie] We dream big!

What a follow-through!
[all] Now that feels good!
[panicked grunt]
[Wobbuffet yells]
[Pidgeot grunts]
You saved us, Pidgeot! Thanks s lot!

-Pika, pika!

-[Pidgeot chatters]

[all chattering]
[Pikachu] Pika!

Is it me or is everybody

bigger than last time?

[chattering]
[chattering]

-[chattering]

-Pika!

Do you wanna come travel with me again?
[chattering]
[all chattering]
[Pidgeot calls]

-[chatters]

-Aw, Pidgeot!

It's so awesome to have you back!
[Pidgeot and Pikachu chatter]
[Delia] So, where to today?
Hmm... Not sure, Mom.

-Pikachu!

-[Delia chuckles]

[birds chirping]

-[Poliwag singing]

-[Ash] Uh... Pikachu, look at that!

It's Poliwag!

-Pika.

-[Poliwag yelps]

[all chitter]

-[Pikachu exclaims]

-[Ash chuckles softly]

[all chitter]
Pika...

[Gary]
So, now that you're the Champion,


just how close are you

to becoming a Pokémon Master?

[thunder rumbles]
[all yelp]
Pi?

-Pika?

-[Ash grunts]


-Argh!

-Pikachu!

[Ash] Let's move!

-[Ash panting]

-[Pikachu] Pika!

[rain pattering]
Pika.
It'll let up soon.
Pikachu...

-[wings flapping]

-[Ash gasps]

[Spearow calling]
[Rattata grunting]
[chittering]
Hmm...

-Pikachu...

-Pi?


[Ash] Remember when we saw Gary

the other day?

Pikachu?

He asked me...

he asked me how close I'd gotten

to becoming a Pokémon Master.
[soft music]
Being Champion isn't my goal.

The thing is,

I still think of myself as a challenger.


I want to go on a lot more adventures,

meet lots more Pokémon,


and take everything I learn every day

and put it to good use.

That includes meeting Latios.
Pika.
[Ash] Thing is...

I want to be friends

with all of the Pokémon in the world.


That's what it means

to be a Pokémon Master.

[water dripping]
Pi.
[bright music]
[birds chirping]
Pika! Pika-pi!
[Ash grunts softly]
[Pikachu grunts]

-Ah!

-Pika!

[Pokémon chittering excitedly]

Pikachu, when I really become

a Pokémon Master,

you'll be with me, right?
Pikachu!

-[chuckles happily]

-[Pikachu squealing]

[Ash] Right!

-Let's go!

-Pika!

[Ash grunts]
[Ash panting]

[Delia sighs]

I suppose Ash is oversleeping.

Huh?
Hmm...
[Delia] And the journey continues.
[exciting music]
[Ash] Hmm...
Which way do you wanna go?
Pika!

-Pi?

-[Ash] Huh?

[Pikachu] Pika!
[Ash chuckles softly]
[Ash] Hmm...
[Ash grunts]
[gentle music]
[closing theme music]
