[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

Narrator:
It's hard work

trying to become
a Pokémon master,

and our heroes haven't had
much rest or relaxation.

But now they're in luck.

They've come to town

on the same day
the carnival has arrived!

Look at all of
those beautiful girls!

And check out all of
the rides and shows!

All right!

Let's show these people
how to really party!

Yeah.

Let's boogie!

Yahoo!

What's wrong, Misty?

Don't you want to party with us?

We'll just party
over here, okay?

See you guys later!

[SHRIEKING]

Whoa!
-Pika.

Well, that one was great,
wasn't it?

Which one do you
want to ride next?

-I've had it!
I quit!

Please don't leave me!

I promise to pay you
as soon as I can.

Then pay me right now!

I can't just now, but I promise,

as soon as I get some paying
customers, I'll pay you!

[ALL GRUNTING]

And just who do you think

is going to come watch
your lousy show!

They'll come, I promise!

I've heard your promises before.

Ow!

-[HUFFS]
Good-bye.

-Don't leave.
I need you.

-Excuse me.
Are you all right, sir?

You're a kind person,
aren't you?

Well, no, not especially.

And such a beautiful girl.

You'd help me out, wouldn't you?

I need your help so badly!

And you'd be so perfect.

Pull yourself together!

You're the only one
who can help me now.

Please, just listen?

Uh. Okay.

Keep an open mind.

Uh-huh.

I'd like you to become
the assistant in my act.

What?

[ALL SHOUTING]

I'm a magician.

Melvin's the name.

Hi.

For you.

Oh.

I'm not very famous yet,

but I'm working really hard
on my magic act.

My dream is to have
my own Las Vegas showroom

and perform my magic act before
thousands of cheering fans.

Won't you help me make
my dream come true?

I'll help you.

But just for today.

Thank you so much!

Ladies and gentlemen!

Thank you for coming!

Allow me to introduce myself.

I am Melvin the Magician
Magnificent!

At least the crowd's small,
so nobody'll see me.

Misty?

What are you doing up there?

Are you part of the show?

Pika, pi.

What are you two doing here?

That's a real cute outfit,
Misty.

-Come on!
Hurry it up!

-Start the show!
-Yes, yes, of course!

Thank you for your patience.

Please allow me to present
my magical Pokémon,

Exeggcute.

ALL: Exeggcute!

-[LAUGHS]
Exeggcute!

[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Exeggcute,
an egg Pokémon.

Although it resembles an egg,

it is known to be
more closely related

to the seed of a plant.

Now it's time for
some Exeggcute juggling.

This is magic?

We don't want juggling!

Boring.

We want to see some magic!

Yeah, do a trick, will ya?

-Hold on.
The best part is coming up.

My Pokémon and I are going to do
some great magic tricks now,

which will summaze
and apprise you!

Uh, don't you mean
"surprise and amaze"?

That's right.

See that's why we make
such a great team.

Yeah, right.

[CLAMORING]

[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]

Raging fire!

[CRASH!]

That was pathetic.

You're the worst!

Just one more try!

[FIRE WHOOSHING]

[SHRIEKS]

BOTH: Oh!

-Fire! Fire!
And fire!

Ah!

BOTH: Ah!

-Hey!
Be careful, Melvin!

-I can't believe it!
It never worked before!

Fire!

[FIRE ALARM RINGING]

-Hey, what is this?
-What's going on?

Pika, pika?

[GROANS]

I want my money back!

You're the worst!

-Rip-off!
-Yeah!

-Wait.
Don't go.

The best part
is just about to start!

Ow!

[CRASH!]

That hurts.

Oh...

Pika.

-Get out!
You're fired!

Give me another chance.

Are you kidding?

No one comes to see you,

and you almost burned
my carnival to the ground.

Get out of here.

[SIGHS]

I feel sorry for the guy.

He just doesn't
know what he's doing.

You can relate to that.

What's that mean?

-Don't worry, Melvin.
Cheer up.

Fired again.

I'll never make it to Las Vegas.

ALL: Exeggcute...

I guess we'll have to give up
all our dreams.

Give up?

You're not gonna give up
your dream that easy, are you?

But-

-If your show's no good,

then learn some new tricks
and make it good!

That's a good idea.

Ash does say something right
once in a while.

Say what?

ALL: Exeggcute!

New tricks?

-We'll even help you out.
You can do it.

What do you say?

-Don't quit now.
Come on, Melvin.

Okay, I'll give it a try.

JESSIE: What are those twerps
up to now?

MEOWTH: It looks like they're
talking to a magician.

Talking to a magician, huh?

Wait till they see
our bag of tricks.

Okay, well, here I go.

Abracadabra.

Ta-da!

Hey, all right!

That was great!

Uh, thanks.

Huh?

The flowers are dead.

So is his act.

Pika-pika.

All my life, I've dreamed
of becoming a magician,

entertaining people,

seeing their faces light up.

But now the dream is all over.

ALL: Exeggcute...

-[SIGHS]
Now they're depressed.

Hey!

I'll show you how to put on
a real magic show.

-Huh?
-Pika.

What kind of a magic show?

I'll do a Pokémon magic show.

Welcome!

I am the swami,
and I can make water, fire,

anything appear out of this box!

Yay...

What would you
like to see first?

Uh, fire.

Okay!

Fire...

Appear!

Wow, that was great!

Now...

Water...

Appear!

How does he do it?

[WATER SURGING]

-Water...
Vanish!

[SIZZLING]

-Squirtle!
-Char?

-[GRUMBLING]
-Squirtle! Squirtle!

Squirtle! Squirtle!

[FLAMES WHOOSH]

-Bulbasaur...
-Squirtle!

[ALL SHOUTING]

Cut it out!

What's happening?

Stop it!

Quit fighting!
Ah!

[CRASH!]

Char!

[FIRE BLASTING]

[ALL WHIMPERING]

I guess I need a bigger box.

Char...

ALL: Exeggcute, exeggcute.

ASH: So the only Pokémon you
have are Exeggcute?

That's right.

They don't really do
very much, do they?

ALL: Exeggcute, exeggcute!

Exeggcute, exeggcute!

Why are you staring at me?

[ALL MUMBLING]

Stop it, Ash.

A staring contest isn't going
to get you anywhere.

I'd like all of you to stop now.

Okay.

ALL: Huh?

Turn around three times
and act like a Bulbasaur.

-Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur.
Bulbasaur.

-Pika, pi...
-What's with Ash?

He's acting kind of... weird.

Hmm...

Aha!

ALL: Who's that Pokémon?

It's Exeggcute!

Keep going straight,
into the leaf forest.

Yes, Master.

I hate to do this to you,
but I hate exercise.

JESSIE: It looks like that
magician

has the little brat
under his spell.

They're just where we want them.

What's our plan?

We follow them
and see what they're up to.

Then we make our move.

MISTY: With Melvin?

BROCK: Yeah, someone saw them
headed for the Leaf Forest.

Pika, pika, pika.

Ash and Melvin must have
just come through here.

But why would Ash
have gone with Melvin?

Wait a minute!

Huh?

ALL: Exeggcute, exeggcute.

What if Ash was put under
Hypnosis attack

by those Exeggcute

and now they're controlling him?

They belong to Melvin,

so he's making Ash do
whatever he wants!

-Mm-hmm.
Keep looking, Pikachu!

MELVIN: Stop.

ALL: Exegg!

Now, Ash, you say that you
want to become a Pokémon master.

Yes.

Then use your Pokédex
and tell me what those are.

Yes.

[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Exeggutor.

A coconut Pokémon.

Also known as the walking
tropical rain forest.

Each coconut has a distinct face
and its own character.

Its special attack is Hypnosis.

I'd like you to battle
these Exeggutor for me.

Yes, Master.

Charmander, Squirtle,
Bulbasaur, attack.

-Squirtle!
-Bulbasaur!

Char! Char!

[ROARING]

Now, I'll capture
all the ones you weaken.

One Exeggutor.

Squirtle!

Now I've got two Exeggutor.

[ALL SHOUTING]

Bulbasaur!

I've got another one
and another one

and another one and another one!

Char!

[LAUGHING]

[ALL PANTING]

Look at all the Exeggutor
I've caught.

That's all... for now.

Yes.

Return, everyone.

Now that I've captured
these Exeggutor,

I can put everyone
at the carnival under hypnosis

and command all of them
to come see my magic show.

At last, I'm finally
on my way to Las Vegas!

ALL: Exeggcute!

In your dreams!

Who's that?

Prepare for trouble!

Make it double!

To protect the world
from devastation...

To unite all peoples
within our nation...

They look more like magicians
than I do.

To denounce the evils
of truth and love...

To extend our reach
to the stars above.

Jessie!

James!

Alakazam kalamazoo!

Pesto!

-That was great!
You guys are wonderful!

It's not over yet.

Team Rocket!
Blast off at the speed of light!

Surrender now
or prepare to fight!

Meowth!

That's right!

If you were a real magician,

you'd be able to do tricks
like that.

That's right.

-They're right.
My magic stinks.

You obviously have no talent
as a magician,

but you're good at
catching Exeggutor for us.

Now we'll make them disappear!

And we'll use their
hypnotic power to capture

all of the Pokémon in the world!

No, you can't.

You have...

No choice.

-Stop it!
Let me go!

Huh?

Be quiet, or I'll knock
the cholesterol out of you!

ALL: Exeggcute!

That's better.

Now, there's something
we need you to do for us.

ALL: Exeggcute, exeggcute.

Huh?

It's looking at us strangely.

-Yeah!
-Could it be?

Some sort of magic?

No, it's...

Evolving!

Exeggutor!

ALL: It's an Exeggutor!

Uh, I'm feeling...

A bit sleepy.

Hypnosis waves
are coming out of its eyes.

Well, then,
just don't make eye contact.

ALL: Exeggutor...

Too late.

I'm going...

Under.

Good work, Exeggutor.

Exeggutor!

Exeggutor, no more hypnosis!

ALL: Exeggutor, exeggutor.

Exeggutor, exeggutor.

What happened?

Hey, where are all of you going?

Whoa!

I don't get the respect
I think I deserve.

Look, over there!

The forest is moving.

BROCK: That's no forest.

That's a herd of Exeggutor!

BOTH: Ah!

What-what's going on?

Team Rocket!

Exeggutor, exeggutor!

Ash! Ash!

Are you okay, Ash?

Melvin!

Pikachu!

You've got to do something
to help Ash, quick!

Pikachu!

Ah!

What's going on?

I don't remember anything.

You were under deep hypnosis.

Hypnosis?

Oh, yeah.
Where's Melvin?

Ash...

-What's going on here?
What have you done, Melvin?

The Exeggutor used hypnosis
on each other

and got all confused.

The Exeggutor are heading
into town right now, Ash!

Oh, we got to stop them!

Now they're beyond my control.

Hey, what's that noise?

The forest is moving!

-No!
Those are Exeggutor!

[CROWD SCREAMING]

Looks bad.

They must have stampeded
right through the carnival.

-Hey!
You better get out of here!

Those Exeggutor
are coming back this way!

I've planted a time b*mb
in this clearing.

It'll blow up just as
they make it to this field!

[expl*si*n]

You can't!

Those Exeggutor
are under hypnosis.

They don't realize
what they're doing.

It's not their fault!

Who cares?

We can't let them cause
any more damage to the town.

Now get out of here and fast!

-Wait!
Come back!

Oh, why are people so stubborn?

What are we supposed to do now?

Now, I'll have to stop them
myself!

You're coming with us, Melvin.

Squirtle!

Bulbasaur!

Charmander!

Attack!

Squirtle!

Water g*n!

That should wake 'em up!

Ash, it looks like
they're liking the water!

Bulbasaur,
Razor Leaf Attack now!

-Don't prune them!
Stop them!

Squirtle and Bulbasaur, return!

Charmander,

Flamethrower!

Char!

The Exeggutor are waking up!

Stop, Exeggutor!

Exeggutor are weak against fire!

All right!

Charmander!
Rapid Fire Flamethrower Attack!

Char!

Char!

Char!

Char!

Hurry, Ash!

Don't forget, that time b*mb's
gonna go off any second!

I know.

I know, but...

Char!

Oh, Charmander!

We've got to stop
those Exeggutor

before they reach the time b*mb.

Wait!
I've got it!

Melvin, you can wake all of
the Exeggutor at the same time

with your fire magic trick!

But all I ever do
is make a mess of things.

I can't do it.

But, Melvin, you have to try.

You said it was your dream
to be a magician.

You've got to wake
these Exeggutor,

for their sake and for yours!

[SIGHS]

I know I can't do it.

You can do it.

Just look at Ash's Charmander.

If that little Pokémon
worked that hard,

then you have to at least try!

[SIGHS]

Then I'll give it my best shot!

Melvin!

Melvin, Charmander,
it's up to you!

-Char!
-Uh-huh.

Raging...

Fire!

ALL: Exeggutor!

Who?

-What?
-Where?

[ALL SCREAMING]

I did it.

I did it!

I really did it!

-Yeah!
Great job, Melvin.

Exeggutor!

Your hypnosis spell is broken.

This is so wonderful!

-Wow!
That was a close call!

You're right.

Thank goodness no one was hurt.

Char-Char?

What's the matter, Charmander?

-Pika?
-Charmander looks funny.

It's evolving!

-[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Charmeleon.
The flame Pokémon.

It has razor-sharp claws,

and its tail
is exceptionally strong.

Congratulations, Charmander!

I mean, Charmeleon!

Char.

Hey, watch where
you're breathing!

[LAUGHTER]

MISTY: Never forget your dream!

Practice makes perfect!

See you in Las Vegas!

Thank you,

all of you.

[TOGETHER]
Good-bye!

NARRATOR: A big day!

Our heroes enjoyed a carnival,

helped Melvin the magician

stop a herd
of rampaging Exeggutor,

and Charmander
evolved into Charmeleon.

But what about Team Rocket?

Watch who you're shoving!

Get me out of here!

ALL: Looks like Team Rocket's
marching off again!

ASH: Don't go away.
The Pokérap is next.

Pokémon!

Pokémon!

It's that time again.

Pokémon, five days a week.

That's about or so each day.

-It's not too hard.
Just listen real good.

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

Okay, so today was pretty easy.

But you got to put
all five days together.

It's the only way
to name all .

Catch you here tomorrow!

[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

-Yeah
-Pokémon

[UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC]

[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

It's you and me

[CRASH!]

I know it's my destiny

A heart so true

Our courage will pull us through
