-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

NARRATOR: As our heroes
take a break in their journey,
Snap, their photographer friend,
decides to sh**t
a few Pokémon pictures.
[CHUCKLES]
Come on.
Turn around, Togepi.
[PURRS]
Now, don't be shy.
Turn and say "Togepi."
Togepi.
-Great!
That was a cool shot!
-Now a Pokémon weather update.
-Huh?
Our area will remain clear
and sunny today
with highs in the upper s.
-Sounds like good weather.
-Pikachu.
It should be great
for taking pictures.
Pokémon Love Power!
Find it at our five-star
breeding center,
where every Pokémon is treated
like a loved one!
This guest evolved
into a Charmeleon
and then into a Charizard
in just a few short days.
At the five-star
breeding center,
a little pampering
goes a long way.
Let our experts
provide your Pokémon
with our loving care.
So why go through all the fuss
when you can bring
your Pokémon to us?
What's that?
Looks like somebody
just opened up
a new breeding center.
-Breeding center?
-The newest thing!
Breeding centers raise Pokémon
for kids who can't themselves.
It's like a Pokémon spa!
A really excellent
breeding center
can even help
your Pokémon evolve.
-Wow!
Let's check it out.
There's no need to push!
We have plenty of rooms left
in our luxury suites.
We guarantee your Pokémon
will soon be like new,
and some may even evolve!
She seems really nice.
And do you know why
we're so popular?
It's because we believe in love.
We feel every Pokémon
is lovable.
We believe
in Pokémon Love Power!
Love Power!
BOTH: Yay!
Love... power.
Wow, she sure knows
how to attract customers.
Yeah.
-Our next guest.
-Right this way, please.
I have a Pokémon too!
Well, you're in the right place.
So what do I have to do
to check my Pokémon in here?
Misty, you're leaving one here?
-Yup, I'll give it a try.
-But which Pokémon?
Not your Staryu.
Togepi's too young.
My Psyduck.
I want to leave my Psyduck here
with you.
It's so cute.
Don't you just adore those eyes.
They're bright and bouncy
as ping-pong balls.
Yeah, and I wish I had a paddle.
So then is there anything
special you'd like us to do?
For starters, you might try
knocking some common sense
into it's big, empty head!
There's an awful lot
of unused space in here.
Hmm, that's strange,
it looks intelligent to me.
And you have to change
this clueless-looking face.
That'd take a miracle.
Funny you should say that.
The motto here
at our breeding center is,
"a little Pokémon Love Power
works miracles."
-Have fun, Psyduck.
-Bye, Psyduck.
Good luck.
Psy.
Psyduck'll prove
if that place is any good.
I bet you're gonna
just leave Psyduck there
and never go back.
No way!
I'd never abandon Psyduck
like that.
Well, I think
Psyduck has some good points.
Want me to take it
off your hands?
I caught Psyduck,
and I plan to keep it-
even if it's still annoying
when I get it back.
That looks tasty.
Hey, it's a restaurant.
Come to think of it,
I'm really starving.
Hey, look at this.
All-you-can-eat-for free.
All right!
I'm heading straight
for the dessert bar!
It can't really be free, can it?
There's got to be a catch,
like you got to order
ten dinners to get one free.
I'd eat ten dinners
if they came with ten desserts.
[LAUGHS]
No need to eat that much,
unless y'all really want to.
The buffet is free
on one condition.
ALL: What's the condition?
Well, just show me
my favorite Pokémon
and I'll treat you
to all the food you can eat,
plus all the deserts
you can eat too.
Yeah!
I'm sure one of us
has your favorite.
-Okay!
Come out, everybody!
Mm, hmm.
None of these.
Well, how about Pikachu?
Pikachu!
Mm, I'm afraid not.
Maybe your favorite's Onyx
or Geodude or Zubat,
or maybe it's Vulpix.
Mm-mm.
Well, how about Goldeen,
Staryu, Starmie, Horsea,
or maybe my Togepi?
None of them is my favorite.
-Huh?
-Oh.
But that's all of our Pokémon.
Maybe it's a Pokémon
we haven't caught yet.
My favorite Pokémon
is this one.
ALL: Huh?
Psyduck?
You're a Psyduck fan?
Hey, that looks like
a picture I took.
I think Psyduck
is the greatest thing
since the invention
of the microwave oven.
I'm such a big fan
that whenever a customer
brings in a Psyduck,
I let them eat for free.
Sir, if we come back
in a couple minutes,
will you be here?
Sure.
I've got to wait here
for a delivery
of gallons of ice cream.
-Yay, yay, yay!
Ha ha!
Back in a flash!
That's typical.
It figures Psyduck isn't around
the one time I really need it.
You're the one
who left it at that center.
It's already closed!
Guess we'll have
to come back tomorrow.
We won't get
that free buffet today.
No way!
I'm getting
into that dessert bar now!
There might not be
any ice cream left tomorrow!
Let's go see
if there's a back way.
[GROWLS]
Hello!
Anybody there?
I need to get the Pokémon
I left here.
Please come open the door
so I can get back
to that dessert buffet.
Huh?
It's open.
Hello?
Is there anybody
who can get my Pokémon?
Is there anybody
who can help me?
There's nobody here.
Is there anyone here
who can help us?
It's so dark.
I can't see.
Hey, I got a light.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
What is this?
It's the Pokémon.
This doesn't look like
a luxury hotel to me.
-This is cruel!
They're crammed into cages.
Pika.
These Pokémon don't look like
they want to smile
for the camera.
Hey, here's your Psyduck.
I have to say
it looks a little smarter
than when I dropped it off.
Take a closer look.
They just pulled its eyes back
with tape.
That's terrible!
Psy-ay.
Huh?
What's that?
The next Pokémon's a Sandshrew.
Hmm, looks like this one
is in pretty good shape.
It could be very useful,
as long as we can teach it
to use Fury Swipes.
We've got an awful lot
of Pokémon piled up
in this dump.
Yeah, just goes to prove
that a lot of Pokémon trainers
are suckers.
Now all we have to do
is pick out the choice Pokémon
and ship them out to the boss.
We'll be his absolute favorites.
And we'll be in for a big bonus!
This breeding center
was a great idea.
BOTH: We believe in Love Power.
That's because we love power.
[BOTH LAUGHING]
So it's all a big fake.
We've got to do something
to stop them.
We can't let them
treat Pokémon like this.
-Hey, I think I have an idea.
-Pika, pika?
I'll take pictures of this place
so everyone can see
what's happening.
Yeah, that's a great idea.
So tell me, how is
the breeding center scam going?
Very well.
As planned, we've collected lots
of promising Pokémon.
-Excellent.
Send them to me immediately.
I want to pick the choice ones
for myself.
BOTH: Yes, sir.
I want to congratulate
the two of you
on your splendid work
on this project,
unlike those other
blundering idiots.
Just doing our job.
But I don't know
how you put up with that Jessie
or her stupid partner, James.
They're an embarrassment.
They are completely unreliable.
It's a good thing we didn't
tell them about this plan.
They would've ruined it.
Butch, Cassidy,
you know I'm counting on you.
BOTH: Yes, sir.
CASSIDY: We won't disappoint
you.
[CHUCKLES]
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]
Snap, take a picture of that.
There.
-Huh?
Okay.
Huh?
-What, Butch?
Something wrong?
I thought
I saw something back there.
It looked like a flash.
I better go check it out.
[ALL SHUDDERING]
ALL: Who's that Pokémon?
It's Psyduck!
Psyduck!
[ELECTRICITY CRACKLES]
[WEAKLY] Chu.
Chu, chu.
The light
was only from this Pikachu.
Chu.
-You pulled it off, Pikachu.
-Pika.
I think I have all the sh*ts
I'm gonna need.
-Good.
We better get out of here quick.
-Wait, we can't.
Psyduck.
-What's wrong?
-The cage is locked.
I can't just leave Psyduck
trapped in this awful place.
Psyduck.
[RATTLING]
Uh, what's that?
JESSIE: Be quiet as a mouse.
MEOWTH: Did you say "Meowth"?
[GROANS]
This way.
This is so...
exciting!
[SHOUTS]
Keep it quiet, James Bond.
Breaking into
this breeding center was genius.
It's a burglar's dream.
I told you this place
was gonna be packed
with Pokémon.
And we're going to steal
every last one.
That'll put us back
on the boss's good side.
But we've never been
on his good side before.
Almost got it.
All the Pokémon
we could ever want.
Hey!
[ALL SHOUT]
What are you doing here?
I put that
very same question to you.
-Keep it down.
You'll get us all in trouble.
How did you get in here anyway?
Don't tell me you goody-goodies
finally decided
to become baddy-baddies.
You'd better not try
to take over our territory.
I knew all along
we couldn't trust you!
Will you shut up!
This time,
you're in way over your heads.
She's right.
We better get these Pokémon
out of here fast,
or we're all in danger.
I know what you're doing.
You're trying to trick us
into helping you steal
all these Pokémon
for yourselves.
Fine, believe what you want.
ALL: Huh?
CASSIDY: I knew there was
something rotten back here.
And I was right.
Looks like rats have snuck in.
What should we do?
We'll exterminate them.
We're not afraid of creeps
like you.
Let's mix it up.
You don't know
who you're dealing with.
But we'll be glad to show you.
BOTH: Prepare for trouble,
and make it double.
To infect the world
with devastation...
To blight all peoples
in every nation...
To denounce the goodness
of truth and love...
To extend our wrath
to the stars above.
-Cassidy.
-Butch.
We're Team Rocket,
circling earth
all day and night.
Surrender to us now
or you'll surely lose the fight.
That's right.
Cate!
Copycat!
Does this mean
you belong to Team Rocket too?
Jessie, it's been a while.
[GRUMBLES]
Do you know that girl?
She used to hang around with me.
She was jealous
because I'm so beautiful.
You haven't changed a bit,
unfortunately for you.
And you're still
a selfish little brat.
How dare you use that motto.
-It's an outrage!
It took us months
to find a motto we could swipe!
Steal your own slogan.
Save your arguments for the boss
when he finds out
you're stealing his Pokémon.
[ALL SHOUT]
We're in trouble.
The boss is really ticked off
that he hasn't heard from you.
He thinks it's insulting!
But we can't call him
till we do
something wrong right.
He might throw us off the team.
We got this mission
because the boss
can't trust you.
When he finds out
that you managed
to bungle it anyway,
well, I hate to think
what might happen to you,
but I suppose
getting thrown off the team
is the best you could hope for
after this.
Isn't that right, Jess?
[GROWLS AND SHOUTS]
We'd be infernally grateful
if you could forget
this ever happened.
[CHUCKLES]
What's it worth to you?
Not so fast, children.
Now that you know
our little secret,
I'm afraid
we can't let you leave.
We don't know anything
about any secrets!
We were just trying to get
a free all-you-can-eat buffet!
You kids can't get away from me.
I'm not a little pushover
like Jessie.
Let's make a run for it.
-Ooh, ooh.
-What's a matter?
This is the breeding center
where I left my Weepinbell
the other day.
[GASPS]
It evolved into a Victreebell!
Isn't that just-
[SCREAMS]
I just wish his brain
would evolve a little.
[BOTH SCREAM]
-There's the exit!
-Pikachu!
[ALL GASP]
-Huh?
-Pi?
-We're trapped!
-What do we do?
-Misty, you better hide.
-Okay.
Pikachu, come on!
-Pika.
Our rat trap worked.
You crooks better let us
out of here.
-What's that?
-It's mine!
You won't be needing this.
[GROWLING]
Burglars!
Oh, I'm still shaking
like a leaf, officer.
Thank goodness
our security system stopped them
before they hurt the Pokémon, oh!
Don't worry.
We'll make sure
these thieves are punished.
Thanks to you,
our city's a little safer.
I'm telling you,
you're arresting the wrong guys.
We're innocent.
Those guys are the crooks,
not us.
Hey, speak for yourself.
-Look in the warehouse.
Then you'll see.
Save your story
for the station house.
This is the low point,
turned in not by these brats,
but by our own teammates.
Great, now we're going to jail.
[SIREN WAILING]
Oh, no,
now we've got to find some way
to convince Jenny
that they're innocent.
Pika.
Think, Misty.
There's got to be some way.
Ah, I've got it!
All we have to do is show Jenny
some of the pictures
that Snap took.
-Pikachu.
-Togepi.
Excuse me.
I left a Psyduck here yesterday.
We have
a two-day holding policy.
But, you see,
I have to take
an emergency trip,
and I really need my Psyduck
to come with me.
-I understand.
Just a moment, please.
Okay, Pikachu.
Pika.
Toge.
You stay here.
-Pi, pi.
Pika, pika.
Pikachu sure is taking
a long time.
I wish it would hurry.
-Miss.
-Yes?
Pika.
Pika!
I'm afraid there wasn't time
to give your Psyduck
a proper facial,
so there hasn't been
much improvement.
[GROANING]
Don't you have to leave?
Huh?
Uh, well,
I'm not in that much of a hurry.
[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]
Huh?
Pika.
Is something wrong?
On second thought, I got to run.
Bye!
-Let us out.
We're not the crooks!
Those two
at that breeding center
are the criminals!
-That's right!
Not us!
Just go there
and see for yourself.
Wow, it grew
into a fabulous Victreebell.
It's so big
and strong and healthy-looking.
-Friendly too.
-Victreebell.
[MUFFLED SCREAMS]
If you're trying
to win sympathy,
it won't work.
The judge is gonna
throw the book
at you Pokémon snatchers.
[ALL GROAN]
-You're making a mistake.
-Pika, pika!
[PURRS]
Misty! Pikachu!
These guys have been telling
the truth, Officer Jenny,
and these photographs prove it.
Ah, what a cute little Pikachu.
Huh?
Wrong pictures.
Look at these.
[GASPS]
Oh, no, that's terrible.
That place
isn't a real a breeding center.
They just steal the best Pokémon
that are brought in.
Those two told me the center
was like a Pokémon spa.
That was a lie.
They cram the Pokémon
into cages.
Pika, pika.
That's why they told you
we were the crooks,
because we found out
about their plans.
They tricked me?
When we heard
what those crooks were up to,
we went to stop them too.
-It's true.
Honest.
Yeah, we're good guys.
Please.
They broke
into the breeding center
just to steal Pokémon.
[ALL GROAN]
[SIREN WAILING]
So you thought
you could frame these kids
when it was you who were
really stealing Pokémon.
You're under arrest!
-But we're not-
-We already know everything.
There's no use resisting.
Raticate, go!
Go, Pikachu!
Chu!
Raticate!
-Raticate got fried.
-Tough break.
Let's go.
-Bulbasaur, I choose you!
-Bulbasaur!
Bulbasaur, it's Vine Whip time!
Bulba.
BOTH: Whoa!
Love Power?
Pikachu's the one who snuck
into the breeding center
and got the camera back.
Pikachu, you're the best.
Pika.
Good thing
Snap takes great pictures.
Yeah!
You all did a great job.
Now we'll return all the Pokémon
to their rightful owners.
That's great, Jenny.
-Anybody hungry?
ALL: Huh?
-More ice cream!
-Take it easy.
Yeah, leave some
for the other customers.
-Pikachu, pi.
-Don't worry.
There's plenty
of ice cream left, Misty.
And all of it's free,
since you brought
this cute little Psyduck
to visit my restaurant.
You have good taste.
JESSIE: I can't stand it here.
There's not a single mirror
in our cell.
JAMES: I refuse to wear
those horrible prison uniforms.
MEOWTH: And I wouldn't give
this food to a Muk.
JAMES: We shouldn't have tried
to steal
from that friend of yours,
Jessie.
I'll show her
who's the Queen of Mean.
I guess you guys are heading
to Cinnabar Island, right?
That's right.
Well, I think I'm gonna
head up to the mountains
so I can take some new sh*ts
of wild Pokémon.
-That's great.
-We'll all miss you.
-Bye!
I hope we meet again real soon.
Mm-hmm.
NARRATOR: And so
thanks to a few photographs,
getting out of jail
was a snap for our heroes.
As they continue their journey,
who knows what adventures
lie ahead or below?
JESSIE: James, watch where
you're throwing that dirt.
JAMES: Watch?
I can't see a foot
in front of my face.
MEOWTH: If you don't quit
squawking,
you will see a foot in front
of your face-
mine!
-Don't go away.
The Pokérap is next!
[SINGING]
-Pokémon
You guys up for the Pokérap?
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
[SINGING]
-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.

-Catch 'em, catch 'em
Gotta catch 'em all,
gotta catch 'em all
