01x45 - The Song of Jigglypuff

[bunniefuu]

[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

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

NARRATOR: Ash's quest
to become a Pokémon master

brings our heroes
to a vast desert.

So where's that town you
were talking about, Brock?

It's dark already.

You don't think
we're gonna camp out

in a place like this, do you?

Chill out.

It's gotta be
around here somewhere.

-Wow!
That must be it!

Look at all the lights!

Wow, it sure is bright.

Pikachu.

-I knew it.
This is Neon Town.

[ELECTRONIC BEEPING]

-Doh!
What rotten luck!

People love to come here

'cause it's open all day
and all night.

It never closes?

There's action hours a day.

Wow.

[BOTH GRUNT]

Hey, watch where
you're going, you jerk!

You watch it!

You're the one
who bumped into me!

Oh, yeah?

[BOTH SNARLING]

-Hey, Ash.
Just apologize!

He should apologize!

He's the one who bumped into me!

Why you little-

[SIREN WAILING]

-All right.
Break it up, you two.

There's no fighting here.

Eh, that little runt's
not worth it.

You kids shouldn't be
walking the streets at night.

I'm sorry, Officer,
but we just got into town.

Then you go find yourselves
a hotel or something.

People around here
are pretty short-tempered.

Short-tempered?

Pi?

They're on edge
because they stay out all night

and don't get enough sleep!

You kids should find a hotel,

get a good night's rest,
and mind your own business.

What do you think you're doing?

-Shut up!
-There's another one.

This Jenny seems
a little edgy too.

I just love all
these bright lights.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Watch where you're going!

Oh, yeah?

You walk into me,
and then you start complaining?

You walked into him!

Huh? Huh?

That hurt.

I'll make you pay for that.

[ALL SCREAMING]

I think we should
prepare for trouble!

[ALL SHOUTING AT ONCE]

[YAWNS]

I don't believe it!

Everyone in town
is already awake!

Look at them!

I wonder when they sleep.

-Break it up!
Calm down!

Move along.

Let's just keep moving.

Yeah, this place
makes me nervous.

Ah, it's much nicer here
in the woods where it's quiet.

Yeah, it was so loud
in Neon Town,

I couldn't get any sleep.

Hey, what's that?

Isn't that a Jigglipuff?

Jiggly!

You're right, Brock,
it's a Jigglipuff.

I've always wanted one of those.

I thought you only
liked water Pokémon.

I do, but I like this one too.

I'll capture it.

Staryu, go!

Psy!

Psyduck, I didn't want you!

Return!

Staryu!

Double Edge!

[SQUEALS]

What's wrong?

It looks like it's crying.

There's something
strange about it.

I wonder what its problem is.

[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Jigglipuff,
a balloon Pokémon.

It has large, friendly eyes,

and it sings a pleasant song.

A Pokémon that sings?

Oh, that's so cute!

Sing for us.

Puff.

What's the matter?

Please, sing us a song.

[SIGHS]

Is something wrong?

Jigglipuff...

[SIGHS]

I think it's saying
that it can't sing.

Hmm-hmm.

I see, a Jigglipuff
that can't sing.

So that's why it didn't attack.

Oh, I'm sorry I bothered you,
little Jigglipuff.

-Jigglipuff!
Jiggly-jiggly.

I still think it's cute,

but who wants a Jigglipuff
that can't sing?

[GASPS]

Jigglipuff...

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Hey, I know.

Why don't we see if we can help

this little Jigglipuff to sing?

Good idea.

We can't just leave
it here alone.

Jiggly!

[LAUGHS]

It looks like those kids
found a Jigglipuff.

A Jigglipuff?

A Jigglipuff's songs
have the power

to put people to sleep.

Then I got a great idea!

We get that jiggly thing

to sing to everybody
in Neon Town.

And when it does...

It's nap time for Neon Town.

And then we grab anything
and everything we want.

That'll teach 'em
not to mess with us!

Finally, Team Rocket
is about to enjoy the success

we so richly deserve.

Let's get on with it.

ALL: Right!

Greetings,
you Pokémon pip-squeaks.

-Huh?
What are those guys doing here?

Pump it up to the max.

[DRIVING ROCK MUSIC]

[BOTH SINGING]
You know us as Team Rocket

And we fight for what is wrong

We're tired of our motto

So we thought we'd try a song.

-Jessie
-James

BOTH: The speed of light,
prepare to fight

Meowth, that's right!

I am the handsome one

I'm the gorgeous one

BOTH: Looking good
is lots of fun

We get some things wrong

But we keep rolling along

ALL: We want
to capture Pikachu

We hope to do it soon

And when we do, we'll be the new

Stars of this...

Cartoon!

You need to work on your timing!

You were late on the last verse!

But my pitch was perfect.

So what's your crummy
plan this time?

We need Jigglipuff

to sing one of its
little lullabies for us.

Its lullabies?

Jigglipuff's gonna sing
Team Rocket right to the top!

Hey, Ash, this looks bad.

I choose you, Bulbasaur!

Bulbasaur!

Take care of them.

Get them, Weezing!

Weezing!

Weezing, Poison Gas Attack!

Bulbasaur, Vine Whip!

Bulbasaur!

[GROANING]

[ALL GASPING]

Weezing!

[ALL COUGHING]

Okay, Staryu!

[ALL GRUNTING]

[SINGING] Do re mi
fa so la ti do

Do ti la so fa mi re do

Like that!

See how I control my breathing
as I sing the notes?

You're a great
voice teacher, Misty.

-Okay.
Now it's your turn.

[WHIMPERS]

It doesn't look
like it really wants to sing.

-[SINGING]
Pika, pika, pika, pi

-Ha, very good, Pikachu.
-Pika!

[GRUMBLING]

Hey, Ash.

You're hurting
Jigglipuff's feelings.

[GRUNTS]

[CHIRPS]
-Pika? Pika?

-What is it, Pikachu?
-Kachu.

Now you try it.

Fill up the balloon like this.

It'll help make your
lungs bigger and stronger.

-[SIGHS]
[ALL GROAN]

-I told you.
It doesn't want to.

-Take it.
Here you go.

-Hmm?
[SQUEALS]

-Forget it.
This isn't working.

Let's see.

There it is.

Here, look at this.

What's that, Brock?

The juice of this fruit
has very special properties.

It has the power to heal your
throat if it's sore or tired.

Ah.

If Jigglipuff eats it,
it might start singing.

Would you like to try some?

-Give it a try, Jigglipuff.
-Jiggly.

-Wow!
This just might be the answer!

[MUNCHING]

Puff!
-[LAUGHS]

-[SINGING]
Jigglipuff

Jiggly...

Puff

-Hooray!
-Jiggly, jiggly!

[LAUGHTER]

Pika, pika! Pikachu!

Jigglipuff.

[GIGGLES]

Now sing your song
for us, Jigglipuff.

Jiggly.

[CHIRPING]

Pi, pi, pi?

BOTH: Hmm?

What's the matter, Pikachu?

Pikachu.

ALL: Who's that Pokémon?

-It's Jigglipuff!
-Jigglipuff!

Please sing for us, Jigglipuff.

Jiggly.

[SINGING]
Jigglipuff, jigglipuff

Jigglipuff

Jiggly

Jigglipuff, jiggly...

Good thinkin', Jessie.

Why go through the trouble
of capturing Jigglipuff...

When all we want is its voice?

We'll just record it
and use it ourselves.

We got it made.

It's over there.

Time to record.

[SINGING] Jigglipuff

Jigglipuff, jiggly

Puff?

Jiggly? Jiggly?

Puff!

Jiggly... puff.

[MARKER SQUEAKING]

Jiggly.

-[MEOWING]
-Puff?

[ALL SNORING]

-Jiggly.
Jiggly, jiggly.

Puff!

Jig-ly-puff!
Jig-ly-puff!

Jig-ly-puff!

[ALL SNORING]

Puff!

[ALL YAWNING]

What a nice nap.

[ALL YAWNING]

What happened to your face?

BOTH: Huh? Ah!

-Huh?
-Hmm!

What's wrong, Jigglipuff?

-Jiggly.
-What's it mad at?

I don't know.

Maybe it's mad

'cause we fell asleep
while it was singing.

Eh, no way.

Why would it be mad
about something like that?

I wouldn't be too happy
if people fell asleep

while I was performing for them.

BOTH: Neither would I.

We're sorry, little Jigglipuff.

-Puff!
-[SIGHS]

I've got it!

Maybe there are some Pokémon
that wouldn't fall asleep.

-[SINGING]
Jigglipuff

Jiggly... puff

Jigglipuff, jiggly

[ALL SNORING]

Jigglipuff

Jiggly...

Puff!

Oh, they all fell asleep.

Jigglipuff's song is strong.

-I know!
BOTH: Hmm?

We should let it
sing to Psyduck.

Psyduck's too doofy to know

whether it's awake
or asleep anyway!

Great.

[SINGING] Jigglipuff

Jiggly... puff

Jigglipuff, jiggly

[ALL SNORING]

Hmm?

Mmm...

Hey!

Psyduck stayed awake
and heard you sing.

Good old Psyduck.

You finally did something right.

Puff!

What are you angry
about now, Jigglipuff?

Psyduck listened
to the whole thing.

-Puff!
-What's wrong?

Hmm?

You stupid Pokémon!

You're just sleeping
with your eyes open!

Psy!

[ALL SCREAM]

-Who did this?
-How dare they?

Wait a sec!

We gotta check to see if
we got the Jigglipuff on tape.

BOTH: Oh. Good idea.

[ALL SNORING]

-What is that awful sound?
-It's all of us snoring!

What are we supposed
to do with that?

What else can we do for it?

It must be frustrating
to have such a beautiful voice

and have no one listen
to the whole song.

I know.

Neon Town's
the perfect place for it.

Hey, that's right!

Since those people
never seem to have to sleep...

They'll be able to listen
to Jigglipuff sing!

Now you'll get to sing

for all the people in Neon Town,
Jigglipuff!

Jiggly!

Did you hear that?

Those fools are going to do

exactly what we'd planned
to do with Jigglipuff.

With enemies like that,
who needs friends?

[CHUCKLES]

Now where can it sing

so that everyone
will be able to hear it?

It would be great
if we could find

an outdoor stage someplace.

Let's ask somebody.

An outdoor stage?

Yes, do you know where
we can find a place like that?

Hey, there's nothing like
that anywhere in town!

Now get lost!
I'm busy!

Oh, what a big jerk.

-Worse than a jerk.
He was out-and-out mean.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Hey, we heard you're the ones

who are looking
for an outdoor stage.

BOTH: Huh?
-Yeah, that's right. We are.

You can go ahead
and use ours if you want to.

ALL: Huh?

Hey, all right!

-[LAUGHS]
Cool!

We can really use it?

Sure, we love
to showcase new talent.

Crank the speakers up to !

-Thank you very much.
This is great!

We finally met someone
in Neon Town who's nice.

[BOTH GIGGLING]

This will be perfect.

Isn't this great, Jigglipuff?

You can sing from the stage.

Jigglipuff! Jigglipuff!

How sweet.

Now everyone in town will hear.

And afterwards,
the town is ours for the taking!

-Hey.
Don't forget these things.

Oh, our earplugs, of course.

-Huh, what's that?
-Hmm?

[SINGING] Jigglipuff

Jiggly... puff

Jigglipuff, jiggly

-That song.
-What's that song?

Jigglipuff, jiggly... puff

-Hmm?
-Huh?

Jigglipuff, jiggly

-Where's that coming from?
-What is that?

Jigglipuff, jigglipuff

Jigglipuff, jiggly

I don't think my ears
are plugged enough.

[ALL SNORING]

Jigglipuff, jiggly... puff

Jigglipuff, jiggly

Jigglipuff, jiggly... puff

Jigglipuff, jiggly

Hmm?

Puff!

[MARKER SQUEAKING]

[YAWNS]

What a great nap that was!

[ALL YAWNING]

Uh-oh.

Everybody in town fell asleep.

It sure seems so.

[ALL YAWNING]

I wonder where
Jigglipuff went to.

Oh, I bet it's pretty mad.

I wanted to tell you,

I'm really sorry about starting
that fight with you yesterday.

-Oh, no, no.
It was my fault.

Huh?

Jigglipuff's song not
only puts people to sleep,

but maybe it has the power
to make people nicer too.

-Hey. It's you.
-Huh?

I just wanted to apologize

for bumping into you like
that last night.

Uh, you're that guy.

-Yeah, I'm sorry.
-That's okay.

Thanks for the apology.

So where's Jigglipuff gone?

Did it get mad
and run off somewhere?

Jigglipuff!

We've failed again.

The earplugs didn't even work.

But the skies are blue,
and the air is so fresh.

Isn't life great?

[LAUGHTER]

-[SINGING]
Tra, la-la, la-la

This is great.

Everyone in town
is so happy now.

Yeah, everyone needs a good
rest now and then to recharge.

But where could
Jigglipuff have run off to?

I wanted to capture it.

Maybe it started its own quest

to find someone who can hear
its song all the way through.

I hope we meet Jigglipuff again.

NARRATOR: After hearing
Jigglipuff's song

and resting up, our heroes
continue their journey

refreshed in mind,
body, and spirit.

-Puff!
NARRATOR: Huh?

Jigglipuff!

Jigglipuff, jigglipuff

Jiggly, jiggly, jig!

NARRATOR: Wait for Jigglipuff!

-Don't go away!
The Pokérap is next!

Pokémon!

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]

-[SINGING]
I want to be the very best

Like no one ever was

To catch them is my real test
