[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

[SINGING]
-Gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all

Pokémon

-Okay, Togepi.
Open wide.

[TRILLS]

[CHOMPING]

Now, make sure to chew
every bite.

[TRILLS]

These rice balls
are pretty good.

Cha!

[LAUGHS]

Of course they are.

[YELLING]

When you got lemons,
you make lemonade.

And when you've got rice,
you make rice balls.

Eat up, everybody.

There's plenty more
where that came from.

NARRATOR: As our heroes
enjoy a delicious meal,

they are completely unaware
they are being closely watched

by a mysterious stranger.

What could he possibly be
plotting?

Okay, I have the Pikachu
in my sights.

Now, don't move.

[GRUNTS]

[BLASTING]

-Agh!
-Oh!

Look out, everyone!

-Agh!
-Pika!

Run for cover!

What's go-oh!

[SHOUTING]

[GROANS]

[GRUNTS]

What's your problem?

-Pika-pi!
Pikachu!

[TRILLS]

-Oh, it's okay.
I'm right here for you.

Are you crazy, Ash?

You just made Togepi cry!

Oh, well,
I thought someone there

was trying to sh**t us.

-Where?
-There.

There's nobody here.

[TRILLS]

-Oh, it's okay.
It's okay.

There was somebody there.

You were probably
just seeing things.

If you don't believe me,
see for yourself.

Squirtle!

I choose you!

Squirtle!

Fire Water g*n
at one o'clock, now!

[BURBLING]

Agh! Ohh!

Huh?

[WAILING]

Quit it!
Stop spraying me!

[GASPS]

Squirtle, return!

Is everything okay?

Uh...

It's okay.

It's working just fine.

I wasn't asking
about your camera.

I was worried about you.

But, you see,
this camera is my life.

Get yourself a new life!

Why were you spying on us?

I wasn't spying on you.

My name's Snap,

and I love taking pictures.

You didn't have to sic
your Squirtle on me

and flip out like that.

Come on!

You should consider it an honor

that I want to take a picture
of your Pikachu.

Pika?

Oh, really?

If you wanted to take a picture,

why didn't you just ask us
first?

I didn't want Pikachu to know
I was taking pictures of it.

I never like them to look posed.

You see...

I am the number one
Pokémon photo master!

BOTH: Did he say...

Masker?

That's right!

I'm the...

Oh, not "masker."

I said "master"!

Uh-huh.

Pika...

You may not recognize my name,

but I'm sure you heard
of the photographer

who took the only known photo

of the legendary Pokémon
Aerodactyl.

-Uh...
-Have you?

Uh, not me.

[WAILING]

How is it possible
that they never heard of me?

Pika, pika...

Here!

Look at this issue
of "Pokémon times."

That's my picture
of an Aerodactyl.

There's his name.

-Hey, yeah.
I guess you are famous.

-Wah!
Hey!

That's me!

What are you talking about?

This is Aerodactyl,
the ancient Pokémon.

Right, but see here?

This is me.

[ROARING]

Agh!

See?
I told you.

That's me getting carried away
by that Aerodactyl.

I guess you're right.

That puny little thing
really is you.

Puny?

Hmm, it's incredible
how two people

can be brought together
by a single photograph.

It's funny
when you think about it.

You're in the picture,
and nobody knows who you are,

and I take your picture,
and I'm world famous!

Yeah, that's real hysterical.

Uh, I'm sorry I scared you.

Let me make some breakfast
for you.

You like pancakes?

Uh, pancakes?

That's right.

-You bet!
I love pancakes!

I haven't had pancakes
in a long time.

That sounds great, Snap.

Okay!

And I'm sure you won't mind

if I take Pikachu's picture.

-Uh...
-Pika?

Don't worry.

I'll be sure to capture
your best side.

Pi?

Let's chow down!

Pika-pikachu!

Mmm!

You have to give me your recipe.

These are delicious.

Pika, pika...

[MECHANICAL CLICKING]

Pika...

Pika?

Okay, Pikachu, uh, keep eating.

Just-just pretend
I'm not in the room, all right?

Relax.
Just act natural.

That's fabulous.

Now smile.
Smile!

This is gonna be great!
-Pika?

Click!

Pikachu!
-[SCREAMING]

[MOANING]

[GROANS]

-Pi!
Pikachu!

[CHUCKLES]

The camera's shutter
must have scared Pikachu.

We don't get our picture taken
too much.

Pika...

There's nothing
to be afraid of, Pikachu.

Let's try again.

Okay, smile.

[WHIMPERING]

Pika?

I'm sorry.

I can't work like this.

What do you mean, Snap?

Pokémon should be photographed
naturally,

not posing.

That's the only way
I want my pictures of Pokémon.

Why is it such a big deal

whether the Pokémon pose
or don't pose?

Take a look at
those photographs over there.

They're all Pokémon

living in their own
natural habitats.

Those aren't poses.

Look how peaceful they are.

Don't those sh*ts show Pokémon
the way they ought to be?

Wow.

I've never seen Pokémon pictures
like that before.

They all look so cute
and carefree.

Yeah, they're happy.

With my pictures,
I can show the whole world

how happy and beautiful
Pokémon are in the wild.

-Yeah.
-That's great.

You have a real talent
for showing Pokémon

the way they should be seen.

That's why I never want
to sh**t a Pokémon that's posed.

And looks sad and scared.

Pika.

Well, Pikachu may not like
being photographed,

but Pikachu is not
my only Pokémon, you know?

I've got others
in these Pokéballs.

How about a shot of Pidgeotto...

[WHOOSHING]

Pidgeo!

Or Bulbasaur?

Bulbasaur!

I have Pokémon
you can sh**t too.

Hey, how about taking
some sh*ts of my Pokémon?

See, Snap?

I have plenty of Pokémon
you can take great pictures of.

-Me too!
-Don't forget me!

Uh, that's very nice,
but no thanks.

What's the matter, Snap?

Is there something wrong
with our Pokémon?

No, they're fine,

but I only want to take pictures
of Pikachu.

What's so important about
taking Pikachu's picture?

Well, you see...

-No, we don't see.
Tell us.

I can't tell you why.

What do you mean,
"I can't tell you why"?

That's all I can say.

I have to take Pikachu,
and that's all there is to it!

-Mm.
Then go ahead.

But you won't have much luck.

[LAUGHS]

You just watch.

I'll capture you, Pikachu,

like no other photographer
could capture you.

Pi... pika...

You must help us.

We really need you
to capture this Pikachu.

Oh, please.

This Pikachu
is so important to us.

Pikachu?

[THINKING]
Hmm... these pictures rot.

Please.

Grant this old woman
one last wish

before she passes on.

[ALL SOBBING]

-[THINKING]
It's so sad.

They must have raised a Pikachu
just like this one.

I'll do it.

I'll use my camera

to capture Pikachu on film
for them.

Don't worry!
I'll take the job!

You mean you'll do it?

I'll capture the Pikachu
perfectly!

[ALL SOBBING]

Thank goodness we found you
before it was too late.

We're very grateful.

But we'd appreciate it

if you'd not tell anyone
that we've been here.

No problem!

I would never reveal
my clients' identities.

[THINKING]
I have to grant

the old woman's wish.

I have to capture
the perfect picture of Pikachu.

[TING!]

Um, all right, Meowth,

where did you find
this Snap kid?

Can he-[GULPING] get Pikachu?

It says in the "Pokémon times"

that this kid's the best
at capturing Pokémon.

And he did show us
that huge photo album

with all the Pokémon
he said he'd taken.

He even said he wanted
to take a shot at Pikachu

or something like that.

[BOTH GRUNT]

Let me have it!

-I need protein!
Uh!

[CHOMPING]

You're not acting
like a nice old lady!

[LAUGHS]

That's because I'm not nice-

or old!

Ah, time to lose
this guy's disguise.

Together:
Surprise! Surprise!

Yeah, right.

All:
Who's that Pokémon?

It's Geodude!

Geodude!

[WATER SPLASHING]

Pika-Pikachu!

[CRASHING]

Hold it right there!

Pika!

Click!

Hey-what?

[CHUCKLES]

You got to be quicker.

Chu!

[GROANS]

Ready?

Click!

Ah, not again!

Wah!

Missed again, Snap!

Chu!

[GROANS]

I'll get that picture
if it's the last thing I do!

Remember the last time

we made a trap like this,
Meowth?

Yeah, I really dug it.

Why don't you try more digging
and less talking?

Those twerps are on their way,

and they will be here
any minute-ooh!

Uh, I think
I just discovered something.

What are you stopping for?

Keep digging!

[TOGETHER]
Roger!

[LEAVES RUSTLING]

Patty-cake, patty-cake,
it's a trap...

-Huh?
It's that Snap kid!

Hurry up!
Disguises on!

-Huh?
-Oh!

Look at yourselves!

You got 'em mixed up!

[TOGETHER]
Huh?

I'm sorry.

I haven't taken that Pikachu
for you yet.

We're sure you'll get it
sooner or later.

And just as
a little insurance policy,

we even dug this trap-

-[CHUCKLING]

Hmm...

This dirt is soft...

May be a good place
to wait for Pikachu.

All right.

Tripod, check.

Camera, check.

Lens, check.

Okay, now I'm ready!

Right on time.

Pika...

Pi, pi.

Pikachu must
really hate cameras.

I've never seen it
act so nervous before.

Oh, it's too bad Snap won't get

the kind of picture
he's so great at.

I don't see what's so great
about that Snap.

He doesn't even understand

the feelings of the Pokémon
he takes pictures of.

-[THINKING]
I don't understand

the Pokémon's feelings?

I say we just forget about Snap-

[YELLING]

[ALL SHOUTING]

[GASPS]

They're gone!

-Ow!
My arm!

Whose idea was it
to put a hole in the road?

Who else would have an idea
like that?

Just Team Rocket.

We finally caught them.

They fell for our trap.

Usually we're the ones
to fall in.

Ooh, I can't wait.

Soon we'll have our Pikachu.

Let's watch and learn
from the expert.

It's capture time!

How did you get down there?

-Easy.
We fell.

You've got to get us
out of here.

Uh, I think I have a rope.

Pi...

Are you okay, Pikachu?

Pikachu!

Huh?

Ah, that's the Pikachu
I want to capture.

-Great.
-[GROANS]

Now throw us that rope, Snap.

What is that boy doing?

He's taking a picture
of Pikachu.

[TOGETHER]
Huh?

Meowth!

Huh?

The magazine says he's, uh...

Aw...

"The best at capturing Pokémon
on film."

Ah, now I get it.

The article said that he's good
at capturing them on film.

I thought
he actually captures them.

An amusing mistake.

[TOGETHER]
You're the mistake!

-Ah!
Meowth!

All right, hold it.

Click!

I did it!

Okay, now, just a few more.

Huh?

[CRUNCHING AND SHATTERING]

Oh, no!

Grab the rope!

Huh?

The bottom of the pit
is crumbling.

You've got to get out
before it falls through.

Huh?

[SHOUTING]

-Ash!
Oh!

Pikachu!

Huh?

[GRUNTS]

Pikachu, don't let go.

Pika!

Ash, Pikachu!

Are you okay?

Yeah, we're okay.

Grab on to something quick!

There's not much time.

Huh?

Uh...

[WATER ROARING]

[YELLS]

There's nothing to grab on to!

I've got to think
of something, fast!

Oh, hold on, Pikachu!

[GASPS]

Agh!

We're gonna fall!

I know!

[YELLING]

Ash, grab a hold!

[YELLING]

Oof!

Ash, Pikachu, just hang on!

You saved us.

Pika...

[GROANS]

I'll pull you up now.

But your-your camera is ruined!

You sacrificed your camera
to save us?

Don't you worry about
my camera, Ash.

You just worry about holding on.

Okay!

[GRUNTING]

You did a great job
for us, Snap.

Huh?

Prepare for trouble.

Make it double.

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!

Huh?

Team Rocket!

Team Rocket blast off
at the speed of light.

Surrender now,
or prepare to fight.

-Meowth!
That's right!

And we just netted ourselves
a Pikachu!

Pika!

Pikachu!

Why did you trick me?

You tricked us first,
little shutterbug.

We wanted you to take Pikachu,

not take its picture.

But thanks for helping us
snap up the real Pikachu.

And just to show our gratitude,

why don't you have one of these?

[WHOOSHING]

[BOTH SCREAMING]

[YELLING]

Looks like I need
a little work on my aim.

[GRUNTS]

[PANTING]

Snap!

Pika... chu!

[LAUGHS]

Squirm all you want.

You'll never get out
of this rubber bag.

Could we wind this up now,
please?

Will do.

[GROANS]

Huh?

Ha-ha!

And the final pitch...

-Hold it!
-Huh?

Okay, everybody,
just smile for the camera.

You're gonna love this shot.

[GIGGLING]

What's the magic word?

ALL: Cheese!

Oh, let me just
take the shine off.

Now look to the right.

ALL: Huh?

[FUSE HISSING]

[expl*si*n BOOMING]

Oh, look at my face!

You ruined the shot!

Oh!

[GASPS]

Okay, Snap,

Let's give Team Rocket
our best shot.

ALL: Huh?

Bulbasaur, go!

Bulbasaur!

Bulbasaur, Razor Leaf, now!

Bulba!

[ALL SHRIEKING]

Cut it out!

Run for it, Pikachu!

-Pi!
Pikachu!

Bulbasaur, give 'em
your Vine Whip!

Bulbasaur!

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

Stop it!

[ALL WAILING]

Let's get out of here!

-Quick!
Get to the water!

ALL: Huh?

A waterfall!

[ALL YELP]

But first... a poem.

Team Rocket
drifted down the stream,

and now we scream!

[ALL SCREAMING]

Nice work, Ash!

Thanks.

Bulbasaur, return!

Bulba!

-Hey, Ash!
Snap!

Over here!

Are you okay?

You guys missed
all the excitement!

You should have brought
a camera!

[TOGETHER]
Huh?

Pika-pi!

Chu!

[TOGETHER]
Huh?

Whoa!

[LAUGHTER]

I don't get it.

How come you guys
are acting like friends?

We are friends, Misty,

because we have something
in common.

We both like Pokémon.

Imagine-those two, friends.

I never pictured it.

[LAUGHTER]

I don't usually photograph
humans,

but this time,
I'll make an exception.

I want to remember
my new friends forever.

Get my good side!

Okay, get ready.

[CAMERA WHIRRING]

[GRUNTS]

[YELLING]

[ALL SHRIEK]

-Whoa!
-Oof!

[CLICK!]

NARRATOR: One picture
is worth a thousand words,

but a new friend is priceless.

Don't go away.

The Pokérap is next!

[SINGING]
-Pokémon

Pokémon!

Get those lips loose.

It's time to Pokérap.

-Come on.
Sing it 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!

[SINGING]
-Gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all Yeah

Gotta catch 'em all,
gotta catch 'em all

Gotta 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.

[TOGETHER]
You gotta 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,

Catch 'em, catch 'em,
