-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

Narrator:
Our hero Ash,
along with his friends
Misty and Brock,
continues on his quest
to become a Pokémon master.
Tired from their adventures,
they decided to take a break
in a quiet forest.
-Hmm.
Pika.
[SQUEALS]
The air's so fresh,
and the water's beautiful.
What a great place this is
for a rest.
Yeah, it sure is nice
to kick back and relax a little.
-Kangaskhan!
-Huh?
[LAUGHS]
This is fun!
Ash, look out, that tree!
-Huh?
[SCREAMS]
[LOUD CRASH]
[GROANING]
Jungle boy.
He'll never learn.
Pika, pi.
Pikachu.
[GROANING]
Pika?
Pi?
Pika!
Pi!
Pi?
-Pikachu?
Huh?
Pikachu!
Pikachu?
Hey!
Where you going, Pikachu?
Where's Pikachu running to?
I don't know, Misty.
Maybe it saw something
out there in the woods.
Pi?
ALL: Huh?
Pika!
What's that?
It's amazing.
Look at all the Pikachu.
[ALL CHITTERING]
Pika!
[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]
[CRUNCHING]
Those must be wild Pikachu.
I've never seen
so many Pikachu in one place.
Pika, pika!
Pika!
ALL: Pika?
Pi?
Pika?
Pika.
Pika!
Pika.
Pikachu!
[ALL CHITTERING]
ALL: Huh?
Pi?
Pika?
Pi... ka... chu.
Pika.
Pika!
-Pikachu!
-Pika!
-Pika!
-Pi?
-Pi?
ALL: Pi!
[SNIFFING]
Pika?
Pi?
Pika?
Pi.
Pika!
-Pikachu!
-Pikachu.
ALL: Pika.
Pika!
[ALL COOING]
Pikachu!
[ALL CHITTERING]
Aw.
It looks like they've finally
accepted Pikachu
as part of their group.
-All right!
-Huh?
Hey!
I want to be part
of your group too.
Pika, pi!
-Hey, wait up!
Huh?
Chu!
Hey, don't run away.
Quit it, Ash.
But why?
Don't you understand?
Those Pikachu
are scared of you, Ash.
Huh?
Pika.
-I'm sorry, Pikachu.
-Pi.
But why would those Pikachu
be afraid of me?
I wouldn't do anything
to hurt them.
They probably haven't had
much contact with humans before.
Yeah, I don't think
too many people
come this far
into the forest, Ash.
This place must be perfect
for those Pikachu.
You mean like
a Pikachu paradise?
I'd sure hate to do anything
that would disturb
all those Pikachu here.
Yeah, me neither.
Yeah.
[SQUEALING]
Ah!
Pika! Pika!
What's that?
It's one of those Pikachu!
Pika!
-Pika! Pika!
Pika! Pika!
-Pika!
Pikachu!
Ash, we have to try to save it!
Quick.
It's headed for the waterfall!
Pika, pika, pika!
Pikachu!
[BOTH GASP]

ALL: Pika!
ALL: Pika! Pika!
Pika! Pika!
Pika! Pika!
Pika! Pika!
Pika!
[CHUCKLES]
Just look at all of them.
Pikachu to the left.
Pikachu to the right.
Piles of Pikachu everywhere.
If we turn over
this many Pikachu to the boss...
We'll be promoted for sure.
I'm so proud to be part
of this team.
Everything in this forest
is public property.
And we're all members
of the public.
So that means all these
Pikachu are really our property.
BOTH: Right!
[ALL SCREAMING]
ALL: Shh!
[ALL GROANING]
[ALL SINGING]
Cha
Pi, pika, pikachu,
pi, pika, pikachu,
pi, pika, pikachu,
pi, pika, pikachu,
pi, pika, pikachu,
pi, pika, pikachu,
pi, pika, pikachu.
Those Pikachu
sure are having fun.
Looks like it.
Misty, Ash.
Dinner'll be ready
in just a few minutes.
Oh, it looks like Pikachu
sure is fitting in well.
Yeah.
I think it's the best thing
in the world
for Pikachu to be here
with its own kind.
Huh?
Oh.
[ALL SINGING]
Pi, pika, pikachu.
Pi, pika, pikachu.
-Pika, pika!
-Pika!
Oh.
ALL: Who's that Pokémon?
It's Pikachu!
Pikachu!
-Thanks, Brock.
That was a delicious dinner.
-What can I say?
I'm a great cook.
Maybe it's because
the vegetables around here
are so tasty.
Don't you think so, Ash?
Ash?
Hey, Ash!
Huh?
Ash, what's wrong?
Is something bothering you?
You don't look so good.
Do you feel okay?
-Never felt better.
Everything's fine.
[CHOMPING]
[GROANS]
BOTH: Hmm?
This place must be perfect
for those Pikachu.
I think it's the best thing
in the world
for Pikachu to be here
with its own kind.
Here with its own kind.
Oh!
Aw.
Hmm.
ALL: Pika!
BOTH: Ah!
What is that sound?
-Pika.
-Pi.
[ALL SQUEALING]
They're trapped!
Who could have done this
to them?
Pikachu! Pikachu!
-Pika, pi!
Pikachu!
Ah, who's there?
Prepare for trouble.
Make it double.
Those voices.
[LAUGHTER]
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 to fight.
Meowth!
ALL: Team Rocket!
ALL: That's right!
We'd like to thank
all of our fans
for their loyalty and support.
This victory is for them.
And now you're about to witness
Team Rocket's
finest performance.
Cut the speeches,
and let's swipe these Pikachu, heh!
You're not swiping anything.
Pikachu, break the ropes
with an Electric Shock.
-Pi.
Pikachu!
Pika, pika.
[LAUGHING]
They're no match for our new
Pikachu insulated seizure net.
You might as well just give up.
It's made from
environmentally safe material
that absorbs electricity.
That's very thoughtful of you.
Let those Pikachu go now.
ALL: Nyah-nyah.
We've got to save the Pikachu.
-Yeah!
-Right!
Why don't you check out
our website?
[ALL YELLING]
Hey, let us out
of this stupid thing!
You're not gonna get away
with this!
[LAUGHS]
Time to make our exit.
BOTH: Roger!
Wait!
[ALL PIKACHU SCREAMING]
Oh! Pikachu!
Pika, pi!
It's a pika-palooza.
We're at the "pika" our powers.
"Chu" can say that again, Jess.
[LAUGHTER]
[ALL GNAWING]
-Ah.
It's good to be on top.
Wha-
We got a pika problem
down below.
BOTH: What?
Huh?
-Quit it!
-Hey! Stop that!
-Pikachus, cut it out.
-What are you doing?
-Stop.
-Hold it.
-Quit it!
-Stop!
Pika!
Ah! It's coming.
Catch it, James!
There, grab it.
All right, we're free!
Watch out, Team Rocket.
Hey, Pikachu, jump onto this!
Hurry up!
Pika!
Chu!
All right, that's the way.
Come on, keep on jumping!
Pika!
Chu!
Pika!
Chu!
Chu!
Pika!
-Pika!
Chu!
-Pikachu.
-Chu!
-Pika!
-Pika.
Pikachu.
This rodent's bugging me.
Huh?
[YELLS]
All the Pikachu
have gotten away!
BOTH: Huh?
ALL: Not again.
But wait.
There's one Pikachu left.
Let's grab it.
[ALL GROAN]
Pika.
-Ah!
-Huh?
ALL: Oh.
We're blasting off again.
Pikachu!
Pika, pi!
-[LAUGHS]
You did it, Pikachu!
Pika, pi!
[LAUGHING]
-Pika, pika!
Pika, pika!
Pi?
Pi!
Pikachu!
-Ah!
Pikachu!
-Pikachu!
-Pika, pika!
Pika!
ALL: Pikachu!
Pikachu!
Pikachu!
Pikachu!
Pikachu! Pikachu!
Pikachu!
Pikachu!
Pikachu! Pikachu!
Pikachu!
Pikachu!
Pikachu!
They all made it back safely.
Yeah.
Ash really trained Pikachu well.
You did a great job, Ash.
Huh?
-Huh?
Ash?
Where are you going, Ash?
What?
You're leaving Pikachu?
That's right.
But, Ash, what are you doing?
This is crazy.
My mind's made up.
Ah!
Pikachu!
-Pika, pi.
Pikachu?
Pikachu, you stay here.
I'm leaving.
I know you'll be much happier
here in the forest
with the other Pikachu.
Pika, pi.
Good-bye, Pikachu.
Pika, pi!
Please don't.
Pika.
All of these Pikachu
here in the forest need you.
So just... good-bye.
BOTH: Huh?
-Pika, pi!
Good-bye.
Pikachu.
[PANTING]
[THINKING] Pikachu
was my very first Pokémon.
[SINGING]
-I close my eyes
And I can see the day we met.
Just one moment and I knew
You're my best friend
I'd do anything for you
We've gone so far
And done so much
And I feel like we've always
been together
Right by my side
Through thick and thin
You're the part of my life
I'll always remember
The time has come
It's for the best, I know it
Who could have guessed
that you and I
Somehow, someday,
we'd have to say good-bye
The time has come
It's for the best, I know it
Who could have guessed
that you and I
Somehow, someway,
we'd have to say good-bye
-[THINKING]
This is for the best,
I guess.
[PANTING]
Ash!
Why are you doing this?
I'm sure Pikachu
will be better off staying here
than traveling around with me.
Pikachu will be happier
this way.
BOTH: Huh?
Huh?
Huh?
Ah!
Pi-
Pikachu!
Pi.
Pi, Pikachu.
Pikachu.
BOTH: Pika, pika.
ALL: Pika!
Pi?
ALL: Pikachu!
Pikachu!
Pikachu!
Pikachu!
What do you think they're doing?
Well, I think
they might be cheering.
BOTH: Huh?
For Ash and for Pikachu.
ALL: Pikachu!
Pikachu!
Pikachu!
Pikachu!
Pikachu!
Pika, pi!
Pikachu!
Ah!
[LAUGHS]
ALL: Pikachu!
Pikachu!
Pikachu!
Pikachu!
Pikachu! Pikachu!
Pikachu!
