[SINGING]
-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

[GROANS] All right.

Where's this famous Fuchsia Gym
we're looking for anyway?

I can't believe there's a Gym

out in the middle of nowhere
like this.

-Pikachu.
-Hmm.

NARRATOR: As our heroes travel

toward their next adventure
at the Fuchsia Gym,

they pass through a deep forest
where they find themselves...

[TOGETHER] I think it's that way!

NARRATOR: Completely lost.

Well, let's get going.

I've got to get to that Fuchsia Gym
and win another badge.

-Wait a minute.
Let's wait for Psyduck.

Psy.

Psyduck, cold water can
make a headache even worse.

Psy?

Sometimes I just look at
that Psyduck face

and I get a headache.

What beautiful hair.

Suzie's such a great breeder.

Hey, Brock.

How about a trade:
That Vulpix for my Psyduck?

No way!

It wouldn't take
much time to brush

'cause Psyduck
only has... three hairs.

Psy.

-Come on, guys.
We better get going.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Hold on!

If we fall,
our Pokémon journey's over.

Pikachu.

Ah!

Are you sure Fuchsia Gym is
somewhere around here?!

Pika!

[TOGETHER] Huh?

Huh? What's that?

That's weird.

A huge mansion right in
the middle of nowhere.

I didn't know any old houses
like this still existed.

Well, at least we can ask
somebody here

the way to the Fuchsia Gym.

Hello? ls anybody here?

Is anyone home?

Seems deserted.

Hello.

Hmm.

Ah!

Huh? Misty?

Kachu.

What's wrong? Where's Misty?

Chu!

She's gone.

Ash, this is a secret door.

Secret door?

When you touch this wall,
it opens.

Ow.

Brock, what kind of
crazy place is this?

It sure isn't
your run-of-the-mill mansion.

Pikachu.

[TOGETHER] Huh?

[SQUEAKING] Venonat!

What's that?

-[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Venonat.
A bug Pokémon.

It's eyes function as radar,

allowing it to see in the dark.

Venonat.

Hey, that's not
a run-of-the-mill Pokémon.

Hey, wait up!

Where is the owner of this place?

Venonat!

Say what?

Maybe it wants us
to follow it, Ash.

-Chu.
-Let's go see.

Yeah!

[ZAPPING] Ah!

Pikachu. Why did you do that to me?

Chu-chu.

Well, if you didn't do it, then...

Ash, look there!

[ZAPPING]

Doesn't look friendly.

Wonder what it is.

[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Voltorb.

The identity of this creature
is unknown.

It has an extreme personality,

uses electric att*cks,

and at times, self-destructs.

Voltorb.

This place gets weirder
and weirder.

Where'd Venonat go?

Look. Over there.

-Hey! Wait up.
-[ZAP!]

Whoa!

Ash, what is it? What happened?

It's an invisible wall.

An invisible wall?

[GROANS]

Brock, this place is really
giving me the creeps.

Right.

We better get out of here
while we have the chance.

Yeah, come on, Ash. Let's go.

[ZAP!]

It's another invisible wall.

[SHOUTS]

I think we've fallen into
somebody's trap.

-A trap?
-A trap?

I hope they're not
trying to trap us

so they can steal our Pokémon.

Huh?

'Cause I don't want them
to take away my Vulpix.

Come on, Brock.

We've got to get out of this place.

Maybe there's an exit.

Ah!

Ah!

BOTH: Ash!

Pika-pi!

Oh, no he's gone!

Oh, Ash...

Pikachu.

Hey, guys! I'm still alive.

[TOGETHER] Huh?

Here! Down here.

Come on. Help me up!

Oh, that was close.

This is a dangerous place
if you're not careful.

[DOOR CREAKING]
[TOGETHER] Huh?

Venonat?

It's you!
I'm gonna teach you a lesson!

Come back!

Ah!

Whoa!

BOTH: Ash!

Kachu!

Huh? Where is he?

There must be another way out.

Maybe it's just another trick.

Someone help me.

[LAUGHING MANIACALLY]

Huh?

Born in darkness,
living in darkness,

such is the fate of the ninja.

I am Aya, ninja warrior.

But don't you think that color
is a little bright for a ninja?

I don't need your fashion report!

But tell me, didn't you enjoy
my little star treatment?

You can't just chuck
throwing stars around.

It's dangerous.

That's right! Tell her, Brock.

Huh?

[MOANS]

I think that electric pink
suits you perfectly,

and you certainly look lovely.

Ah!

Whoa.

[GRUNTS]

This is a training camp.

It was your fault
you let your guard down.

My guard down?

I won't let you
leave this mansion

without having a Pokemon battle
with me first.

Huh?

Venonat.

Oh, that thing.

This Venonat informed me
that three stupid-looking people

had entered the mansion.

Venonat. Veno.

For your information we're
not the stupid ones around here.

I accept your challenge!

Uh, but first could you
let me down from here?

Ah!

One Pokémon for each of us.

Choose yours now.

Bulbasaur, I choose you!

Bulbasaur.

I select Venonat.

Venonat.

Bulbasaur!

Tackle now!

-Bulbasaur!
-Venonat, veno!

Venonat Stun Spore.

Bulbasaur Whirlwind.

Now! Vine Whip!

Psybeam now.

Bulbasaur!

Bul... ba... saur...

Hang in there, Bulbasaur!

Now it's time to give it
your Leech Seed!

Bulbasaur! Saur.

Venonat?

[CHUCKLES] Leech Seed
is sucking away

your Venonat's power.

It's helpless.

Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur.

Return, Venonat.

Good work, Bulbasaur.

A victory for me!

[GRUMBLES]

Voltorb.

It's that Voltorb!

[ALL COUGHING]

You've still got
a lot to learn, Aya.

Honored brother, I have failed.

And you're Aya's older brother?

My name is Brock.

You sure have a very nice sister.

It's a pleasure to meet-ah!

This is no time
to kiss up, Brock!

None of you will be permitted
to leave this venerable mansion

unless you do battle with me.

Who are you?

I am Koga,

The Pokémon master
of the Fuchsia Gym.

Oh, so this is the Fuchsia Gym?

That is correct, miss.

Well, at least we're
in the right place.

So that's the famous
ninja mansion.

Well, I for one
am not impressed;

it looks like
a Japanese restaurant.

There are lots of precious
poisonous Pokémon

in that mansion.

Then let's figure a way to
bust into this ninja joint,

snatch the poison Pokémon
and hit the road.

Poisonous Pokémon
are positively perfect

for perfidious people like us.

What does that mean?

It means beautiful things
can be painful.

Ow. That hurt.

-Let's go.
-Ooh!

Well, that's fine with me.

We were looking for Fuchsia Gym,

and now I'll win
one of your badges.

This Soul Badge will be yours...

if you defeat me, of course.

All right, let's battle.

Who's that Pokémon?

It's Venonat!

Venonat.

We shall have two on two
Pokémon battle, young man.

That's fine with me.

I'll start with Pidgeotto!

Then I shall lead with Venonat.

[SHOUTING]

[LAUGHING]

Guess I'll just have to beat
this Venonat too.

[LAUGHING]

This Venonat has
a great deal more experience.

A metamorphosis attack?

No, it just evolved.

-[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Venomoth.
An evolved form of Venonat.

Tiny scales on its wings

disperse various spores
when they are flapped.

Uh-oh.

Venomoth, Stun Spore.

Pidgeotto, Whirlwind!

[SCREAMS]

Pidgeotto!

Venomoth,
release your Sleep Powder.

Oh...

Pidgeotto, return.

Charmander, go!

Venomoth, Stun Spore.

Charmander! Flamethrower!

Char!

Great job, Charmander.

Huh?

What's that?

BOTH: Welcome to the show.

What's going on here?

Now let our ancient
performance begin.

Prepare for trouble.

Ha! Huh! Ho! Ha!

Make it double.

Huh! Ha! Ha!

To protect the world
from devastation.

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.

Surrender now or prepare-

prepare to fight.

Meowth. That's right.

Now step aside while we pick up

all your pretty little
poisonous Pokémon.

Forget it Meowth.

[GROANING]

Jessie, it's too hard to move
in these costumes!

A ninja mansion calls
for a kabuki star.

We have to wear these outfits!

Yes, but...

If you can't move,
we'll lose the Pokémon.

You're right. Let's change.

-Wheezing!
-Arbok!

We'll have to join forces
to vanquish them.

Right.

Charmander, go!
-Char!

Go, Venomoth.

Go, Venonat.

Step right up.

Ah!

[ALL SCREAMING]

-Huh?
-Oh.

Ah, Pikachu.

Pika!

You're in the way.

[SCREAMING]

Pikachu!

Pika-pi!

We need you now, Starmie!

Psyduck.

Psyduck! You're not Starmie!

Psy-ay?

[GROANS]

This time I'll choose Staryu.

Psy-ay?

You're Psyduck, not Staryu!

Don't you understand?!

[GRUMBLES] Fine, then.

Go if you want to.

Psyduck. Psy.

[GROANING]

Psy!

Psyduck, you're driving me crazy!

Psy-ay-ay.

Psyduck. Psyduck.

What att*cks can Psyduck do?

Here, ask Dexter.

-[ELECTRONIC VOICE]
Psyduck's att*cks are:

One, Tail Whip.

Psyduck.

Tail Whip attack now!

Psyduck. Psyduck. Psy-ayyyyy...

[ALL GROAN]

How can you call
that lame tail wag an attack?

It must have other att*cks.

-[ELECTRONIC VOICE]
Psyduck att*cks.

Number two: Scratch.

-All right, Psyduck.
Scratch attack now!

Psyduck!

Psy-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay!

Psy?

Psy!

Psyduck! Psyduck! Psyduck! Psyduck!
Psy-ay-ay-ay-ayduck!

What a totally pathetic Pokémon.

Now it's giving me a headache.

I think I have a way out of this.

BOTH: Huh?

What're they?

I don't know what they are,

but they're in the way.

[GRUNTS]

This is a nice little catch.

I don't know what
these things are,

but I can use 'em to practice
my bowling game.

[WHIMPERING]

That's a Voltorb!

A Voltorb?

Voltorb.

Ah!

[ALL COUGHING]

Hey, Brock.

Do you notice anything weird
about this room?

The walls, the beams, the ceiling-

they're all on a slant.

This is a slanted room

to confuse our enemies.

[GROANING]

No good. I can't get it off.

How about your electric attack,
Pikachu?

Pikachu!

-Char...
-Pikachu.

This gunk isn't affected
by electricity.

[LOW RUMBLING] Huh?

There you are.

For some reason I seem to be
losing my liqui-ebrium.

BOTH: Whoa!

They built this place
like a fun house.

The floor is slanted.

Maybe they'll have some fun
with this Voltorb.

Voltorb.

[ALL SCREAM]

Pikachu! Electric attack now.

Pika pika.

Oh, I forgot.

What's with this loser Pokémon?

Psyduck, you're just gonna
get hurt out there.

Return!

[GROANING]

Psy-ay-ay-ay!

Let's snatch this Pokémon too.

We don't need Pokémon like that.

-Psy-ay-ay-ayyyy! Psyduck! Psyduck!
Psyduck! Psy-ay-ay-ay!

Even rejected by Team Rocket.

It looks like its headache's
gettin' worse.

-Ah, look.
You come here right now.

Huh?

[SCREAMS]

What's... what's happening?

I... I'm frozen.

I can't move!

Hey, this must be
one of Psyduck's att*cks.

[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Psyduck's att*cks.

Number three: Disable.

Psyduck's att*cks.

[ELECTRONIC VOICE]
Number Four: Confusion.

[ALL SCREAMING]

Psyduck's att*cks
are pretty good.

-Yeah.
-You're right.

[ALL SCREAMING]

The place looks
a lot nicer from the air.

And what else it looks like...

ALL: Team Rocket's
blasting off again!

Psy...

-Pika!
-Char!

[GROANS]

And you had
that kind of power all along?

[ELECTRONIC VOICE] When psyduck's
headache becomes severe,

it uses amazing power.

Psy-ay-ay-duck.

That kind of talent's
a real pain.

Oh, yeah.

Magnificent.

That was quite
an impressive display.

I was very impressed
by your performance.

Young lady,
would you consider trading

Your Psyduck for my Venomoth?

I'd gladly trade for my Venonat.

Well, I wouldn't trade Psyduck
for any Pokémon in the world.

Misty, you couldn't wait
to get rid of Psyduck!

A woman's heart can be
a very fickle thing, Ash.

A Pokémon like that

would certainly merit
one of our Soul Badges.

Uh, that's right.

We still haven't
finished our match.

The Pokémon I choose
for this battle is Charmander.

And I will choose...

Golbat!

Golbat.

[SIGHS] What's that?

[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Golbat.

Attacking with its sharp fangs,

this Pokémon can drain
cubic centimeters

of blood per bite.

Be careful, Charmander.

Golbat. Wing Attack.

-Golbat. Golbat. Golbat.
Golbat. Golbat.

Charmander. Ember attack.

Charmander!

Golbat. Golbat.

[GIBBERING]

All right. Good job, Charmander.

Golbat. Golbat. Golbat. Golbat.

Golbat, use your Screech attack.

Golbat. Golbat.

Ooh, I can't stand that noise.

Ah! I'm getting goose bumps.

Charmander, Flamethrower.

Char! Char! Char!

Ouch.

Golbat. Gol-golbat. Golbat.

Okay. Finish off with Fire Spin.

[YELLING]

Golbat. Golbat.

[ALL GASP]

Golbat.

Golbat.

Golbat.

-We did it.
-Char char.

You have beaten me.

And Psyduck saved my Voltorb

from being stolen by those thieves.

This Soul Badge
rightfully belongs to you.

A Soul Badge! All right!

We both have got
a lot to learn about battle.

We will now train even harder, Aya.

Yes, brother.

Yes! I got a Soul Badge!

All right! Whoo-hoo!

NARRATOR: So after earning
a Soul Badge,

our heroes continue along
on their Pokémon journey.

You know, you did a really
great job back there, Psyduck.

I hope success doesn't
go to your head.

Psyduck.

-Don't go away.
The Pokerap is next.

Pokémon

You guys up for the Pokerap?

-There's Pokémon.
You got to name 'em all.

I'm doing today,
so try to keep up.

[SINGING]
-Catch 'em, catch 'em

gotta catch 'em all,
gotta catch 'em all

Pokémon

Gotta catch 'em all,
gotta catch 'em all

gotta catch 'em all,
gotta catch 'em all

At least or more to see

to be a Pokémon master

is my destiny

All right, how'd you do?

-Loosen those lips.
Shake out that tongue.

-Give it a rest.
Today's song is sung.

We'll be back tomorrow.

[SINGING]
-Catch 'em, catch 'em

gotta catch 'em all,
gotta catch 'em all

Pokémon

[UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC]
