I want to be the very best

Like no one ever was

To catch them is my real test

To train them is my cause

I will travel across the land

Searching far and wide

Each Pokémon to understand

The power that's inside

Pokémon, gotta catch 'em all

It's you and me

[CRASH!]

I know it's my destiny

Pokémon

Oh, you're my best friend

In a world we must defend

Pokémon, gotta catch 'em all

A heart so true

Our courage will pull us through

You teach me and I'll teach you

Pokémon

Gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all

Pokémon

Gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all

Pokémon

[SMOKESTACK BLARES]

NARRATOR: As his
Pokémon journey continues,

Ash is one step closer
to achieving his dream

of becoming a Pokémon master.

Last time, Ash defeated
the Vermilion City Gym leader,

and earned a Thunder Badge!

[LAUGHS]

Hmm?

Hey.
-Pikachu.

NARRATOR: Has Ash's ship
finally come in,

or will our heroes be
cruisin' for a bruisin'?

-Pika!
-Wow!

Beautiful!

Oh, man, I'd love
to cross the ocean

on a ship like this!

Yeah, just think of all
the Pokémon we'd be able to see

along the way!

Oh, for sure!

Just imagine,
sunbathing on deck all day.

Just a nice, long,
relaxing cruise.

We could never
afford a cruise like that.

Oh!

Reality can really bum you out.

Congratulations!

You guys are way lucky!

You can go on a super
deluxe sea cruise!

[LAUGHTER]

ALL: A sea cruise?

Well, it's, like, you know,
we have these incredible,

super cool tickets for you.

-Cool.
-Cool, huh?

What?

These are tickets
for the biggest party ever,

on board
the St. Anne cruise liner.

The famous St. Anne?

Cool.

-The coolest ship on the sea!
-Oh.

Everyone's going to be together

and, like,
have the coolest party.

Cool.

And the party's for
Pokémon trainers only.

-Cool.
-Step this way.

[GIGGLING]

It'll be a radical party!

All the most radical Pokémon
trainers will be there!

Do you know anybody
who says "radical" anymore?

Mm-mmm.

Okay, dudes,
here are your tickets!

We'd love to go on
the Pokémon trainer cruise,

but we really don't have
the money to pay for it.

Oh, whoa, like,
you don't understand.

-Cool.
-They're totally free.

-Huh?
-Totally free.

To-tal-ly free!

-For free?
Why are you giving 'em away?

Like, we have to go
out with our boyfriends,

but we wanted to give our
tickets to cool Pokémon fans.

Cool.

We saw you and thought
you looked really cool.

Just take these
and have a really cool time!

-Thanks a lot!
-No sweat.

-Cool.
-Have a nice day, for sure!

All right!

This really is cool, isn't it?

Pikachu!

[SMOKESTACK BLARING]

-The St. Anne.
Wow!

Yeah, and that Pokémon party.

I wonder which one of these
ships is the St. Anne.

I think that's it.

-Huh?
-Wow.

That's incredible.

It's huge.

Pika.

-We did it.
We got them.

Like, wow, don't I make,
like, the coolest girl?

-[GRUNTS]
-[WHIMPERS]

Stop acting like an ignoramus.

Ow.

We got a call from the boss.

Greetings, sir.

So the team is all there.

ALL: Sir.

[PURRING]

Meow!

What's with the Persian?

Hey, boss, what about Me-owth?

Ain't I your favorite any more?

I'm totally disgusted
watching you fail me

when I expect total perfection.

Purr-fection,
like this beautiful Persian.

But... Meowth.

If you want to make me happy,

you can make sure our
latest plan succeeds.

Meowth!

Have you handed out

all of the tickets
to the St. Anne cruise?

Yes.

All of the Pokémon trainers
were delighted to take them.

Was it really all right for us

to give out all those
tickets for free?

A small price to pay
for what I'll get in return.

BOTH: Oh.

My men have already
secretly boarded the St. Anne.

When I give them the signal,
they will take the Pokémon

from all of the trainers we
tricked into boarding the ship.

That's the boss for you,
a real genius.

This time,
failure is out of the question.

BOTH: Ayo-aye, sir.

We can do it.

[CHUCKLES]

What an awesome ship.

I'd like to travel around
the whole world in this.

Welcome aboard
the St. Anne.

This way.

-Wow!
Look at this!

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Come one, come all.

-Oh.
It's so cute.

It's like a giant
Pokémon convention.

Everyone's a Pokémon trainer.

Take a look at the smooth
skin on my Charmander.

That shows how healthy it is.

Look at the flame
on my Charmander.

There's orange
mixed in with the red.

Cool, huh?
Check it out.

Wait, look how hard
the shell is on my Squirtle.

Tough, eh?

My Squirtle and my Charmander

are much better than theirs are.

-All right, bring them on.
-Hmm?

-Raticate, Jump Kick.
-Raticate!

All right, Starmie,
Spinning Tackle.

[GRUNTS]

Raticate!

All right,
they're having a battle.

Raticate,
Super Fang Attack, now.

Raticate!

[JEWEL CRUNCHING]

[JEWEL SHATTERING]

[GASPS]

Are you okay, Starmie?

Ah, don't feel
too badly, young man.

It was only
a practice match anyhow,

and I just happened to be lucky.

My, how gracious.

Not at all, Miss.

Keep working on building
your Starmie's strength there.

Well, now,
is anybody else brave enough

to challenge my Raticate?

-[GRUNTING]
I can't wait.

How about battling
my Butterfree?

As you wish.

Boy, I hope he knows
what he's doing.

Say, Jessie,
this place is packed.

Yes, and packed with Pokémon.

And soon all
these Pokémon will be ours.

[MANIACAL LAUGHTER]

All for us.
-Shut up.

They're not for us.
They're for the boss.

I forgot.

-Raticate, Jump Kick.
-Raticate.

Butterfree, Tackle!

[SCREECHING]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Does Ash's Butterfree
even stand a chance

against that Raticate?

-Sure.
It's a good match, really.

Finish it, Raticate.

Hyper Fang Attack.

Raticate!

[GRUNTS]

Raticate!

Butterfree, Stun Spore.

[CHATTERING]

[GRUNTING]

-All right.
Now the Whirlwind.

That's enough.

Huh?

Why don't we just
call it a draw?

-[UNDER BREATH]
But I was winning.

MAN: Boy, boy.
Hey, you boy.

Come here.

Are you addressing me?

I want you to have
a look at this Pokémon.

Huh?

What is this thing?

The king of all carp.

A Magikarp.

What do I do, eat it?

-[CHUCKLES]
See how healthy it is.

-[SHUDDERS]
It certainly is lively.

Just between you and me,

this Magikarp is like
a Pokémon gold mine.

-Gold mine?
-Right.

A Magikarp lays
, eggs at a time.

Each of those
, baby Magikarp

lay , more.

, times ,
makes million.

Every one of those million
lays another , .

That's a billion Pokémon.

A billion?

You can sell
one Magikarp for $ .

In three generations,
you have tons of money.

Billions and billions.

Billions?

You'll be so rich,

you can go on
a Pokémon shopping spree.

Rich... rich.

I normally charge $ ,

but for you, I'll throw in
an egg-laying set,

childcare set,

and an education set
for only $ .

How about it?

I'll take it.

-I can tell...
you're gonna be a very rich man,

a very rich man.

[CRAZED LAUGHTER]

Who's that Pokémon?

It's Raticate.
-Raticate!

[ALL CHOMPING]

So are you having yourself
a good time?

Yes, sir,
we're having a great time.

You know, that Butterfree
of yours is quite extraordinary.

It's incredible.

She's beautiful.

Hello in there.

Beautiful.

Here we go again.

Well, I've put a lot of work
into raising it.

What did you think
of my Raticate?

It looked great,

and it really put up
a tough fight.

In that case, I'll be direct.

Why don't we trade?

Trade Pokémon?

When two people find

that they each like
the other's Pokémon, they trade.

It's quite a common
practice everywhere.

Everywhere?

You see, friends who trade

then trade
with their other friends,

and so friendships grow deeper

and continue to spread
wider and wider.

Trading and making new friends

is one of the best
things about having Pokémon.

That's how Pokémon friendships

get to spread
all around the world.

Wow.

Friendship
is wonderful isn't it?

Yeah, yeah.

Why don't you and I
start a friendship right now?

Should I trade, Brock?

-Oh, yeah.
You gotta trade.

Everybody should trade.
Let's start tradin'.

Well, okay...

Here we go.

Hmm.

[STATIC CRACKLING]

[ELECTRONIC CHIRPING]

Well, that's all there is to it.

Raticate is your new Pokémon.

-You idiot!
Can't you see you were tricked?

What a dope.

-But you don't understand.
Magikarp is a goldmine.

Even its Pokéball is solid gold.

It's just gold-plated.

[SCREAMS]

Magikarp is a no-talent Pokémon

that can't do anything
but flop around.

How could you possibly
expect to sell it?

I was tricked.

How did you get
the money for it?

Well, the advance on my salary

didn't quite cover it, so I-

-So you did what?

I used the advance
on your salary.

Oh!

You go take that fish
and get my money back right now!

[SMOKESTACK BLARING]

What's the matter, Ash?

You look so serious.

I was just thinking,
I wonder if that guy

is gonna take good
care of my Butterfree.

Oh.

I traded my Butterfree
to some guy I don't even know

just because he seemed
to like trading so much.

I really don't even know

if he'll take care of it
the way I did.

-Look on the bright side.
You got a Raticate.

[SIGHS]

It's just,
when I was trading it away,

I remembered the time
when it evolved into Butterfree.

Pika.

[SMOKESTACK BLARING]

[SIGHING]

[CHUCKLES]

It won't be long now.

[SCREECHING]

[DOOR SLAMMING]

-Hey!
-Pikachu?

[CONFUSED CHATTER]

Hey, hombre, I want my...

my money back.

[SCREAMS]

Are you crazy?

-But I-
-We've got work to do!

To protect the world
from devastation...

[WEAKLY] 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 light.

[SIGHS]

Surrender now
or prepare to fight.

-Meowth.
That's right.

Team Rocket will now
take possession of your Pokémon.

[CONFUSED CHATTER]

[WIND RUSHING]

[ALL SCREAMING]

-Gimme your Pokémon.
-No way.

Don't make me take 'em.

-Pikachu!
-Pikachu.

[SCREAMING]

If they're gonna try
to rob our Pokémon,

We might as well
make it a battle.

Yeah, we can't just surrender.

Let's fight back!

[ALL CHEERING]

ALL: Go!

Suck them up. Suck them up.

Suck them all up.

[SHIMMERING TONE]

-Atta way to go, guys.
Keep suckin' em up.

Make sure you get
every last one.

Squirtle, go!

Squirtle.

We've gotta fight them together.

-Pikachu, go.
-Pika.

[ALL CHATTERING]

Pika.

[SCREAMING]

[ALL SCREAMING]

Charmander, I choose you.

Char!

ALL: Char! Char!

Char! Char!

[FLAMES WHOOSHING]

[ALL SCREAMING]

Geodude, go!

Geodude.

ALL: [ECHOING]
Geodude. Geodude. Geodude.

[ALL SCREAMING]

[ALL CHATTERING]

[ALL SCREAMING]

[ALL CHATTERING]

Now it's my turn.

Go, Butterfree.

Raticate!

Huh?

-Ash, you traded it, remember?
-Oh, yeah.

[ALL CHATTERING]

Butterfree...

oh...

[CHATTERING]

Ah...

[CHATTERING]

-Yeah!
All right!

[CHATTERING]

I raised that
Butterfree all by myself.

I have to get Butterfree back.

Hand over the Pokéballs.

Pidgeotto, I choose you.

[SCREECHING]

Pidgeotto, Group Gust!

[WINGS FLUTTERING]

[SCREECHING]

[WIND HOWLING]

Pikachu,
all together, Thunderbolt!

[ALL CHATTERING]

Pika.

[ECHOING SCREAM]

[ALL SCREAMING]

-We did it!
Great job!

I think we should all
be very proud of our Pokémon.

And we taught Team Rocket

a lesson they'll never forget.

I can't wait
to get off this lousy bucket.

[WAVE CRASHING]

[ALL SCREAMING]

Wait,
there goes my salary advance!

-There goes my money too!
-Meowth.

[WAVE CRASHING]

[ALL GASPING]

Oh, no, it's a big storm.

It'll be tough to get back
with waves like this.

What?

Hey, where's Ash?

So you want
to go back on our trade?

Butterfree was the first
Pokémon I ever captured.

I worked very hard
training and raising it.

Please, can I have it back?

You leave me no choice.

I'm sorry.

Now calm down.

These high seas have just
pushed us a little off course.

A little off course?

There's nothing to worry about.

We're heading for port now,

and besides,
this ship is unsinkable.

There's absolutely
no need for alarm.

[WAVE CRASHING]

[ALL GASPING]

Now there's no reason to panic.

I just thought I'd test out
one of the life boats.

[ALL CLAMORING]

-Come on, Ash, we gotta go.
The ship is sinking.

Hold on.

Butterfree, please forgive me.

[WAVE CRASHING]

[GRUNTS]

Oh!

Butterfree!

Ash!

Wait,
there goes my next paycheck!

Who cares about your paycheck?

What about mine?

We gotta get outta here.

[WAVE CRASHING]

[NERVOUS CHATTER]

[ALL PANTING]

I got ya!

[ALL SCREAMING]

[GRUNTS]

[ALL SCREAMING]

Got it!

[ALL SIGH]

[ALL SCREAMING]

-Look, there goes the ship!
It's sinking!

May I have your attention:

Anyone who didn't leave the
ship safely please say "aye."

-Good. Well done.
Everyone's safe then.

Narrator:
Not everyone, Captain.

And as the St. Anne
heads to the bottom of the sea,

our heroes are trapped
unconscious inside...

And so is Team Rocket.

Could this be the end?

How will they escape
their watery fate?

I don't know,

but I have a terrible
sinking feeling.

-Don't go away...
the Pokérap is next.

[SINGING] Pokémon!

[SINGING] Pokémon

-Get those lips loose.
It's time to Pokérap.

-Come on, sing 'em with me.
That's the game.

-There's Pokémon.
How many can you name?

[SINGING] Gotta catch 'em all,
gotta catch 'em all

Yeah

Gotta catch 'em all,
gotta catch 'em all

We're almost home!

Gotta catch 'em all,
gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all,
gotta catch 'em all

Got to catch 'em all, Pokémon

That's all, folks.

Can you name all the Pokémon?

Just put today's song together
with the other days of the week.

That's why
you can't miss a show.

You got to catch 'em all!

-[SINGING]
Catch 'em, catch 'em

Gotta catch 'em all

Ooh, gotta catch 'em all,
Pokémon

Catch 'em, catch 'em

Gotta catch 'em all

Ooh, gotta catch 'em all,
Pokémon

Catch 'em, catch 'em,
gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all, Pokémon

[UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC]
