NARRATOR Last time, our heroes arrived on Valencia Island

to pick up a mysterious Poké Ball

for their friend, Professor Oak.

After getting the GS Ball from Professor Ivy

Brock decided to stay and work at her lab

so Ash and Misty headed home by blimp.

As usual, our duo was double-crossed by Team Rocket

and as usual, their triumph turned to tragedy

when Jigglypuff decided to provide

some in-flight entertainment.

While Ash and company have drifted off to sleep

their blimp has drifted seriously off course.

Now they're headed for a rude awakening.

The big question is

will they land in a tropical dream

or on nightmare island?

[CURIOUS]

Ah. Well, we made it.

Yeah, but where did we make it to?

This looks like the middle of nowhere.

[CURIOUS]

ASH The Lost Lapras

Ash, can't we just take a little break?

- Alright. - Ah, ah..

[TIRED]

Uh, it's kind of weird, we've been walking for miles

but we haven't seen a single person yet.

Hey, maybe this is a deserted island.

Deserted?

[WORRIED]

We're trapped.

Now we'll have to eat bugs and berries

for the rest of our lives!

[grunting] Well, berries can be very tasty.

- Huh? - Huh?

- Look, a Pikachu. - How cute.

- Are we allowed to feed them? - Isn't that a Togepi?

[screaming]

WOMAN # 'Smile for the camera.'

TOURISTS Pika-cheeeese!

Where did all these tourists come from?

[chuckles] Too bad this island isn't deserted.

[sighing]

[groaning]

Welcome to Pokémon Park!

The Pokémon vacation destination.

[chuckles]

- Huh? - Huh?

- Welcome. - Here's one for you, too.

ANNOUNCER 'The Tangelo Island Chamber of Commerce'

'welcomes one and all to the home of Pokémon Park'

'the world's first Pokémon theme park.'

- A theme park? - A theme park?

Well, Ash, it looks like we picked a fun island to crash on.

Yeah, and it doesn't look like we'll have to eat any bugs.

[EXCITED]/[CURIOUS]

Hey, what's the matter, Pikachu?

LAPRAS [PAINED]

- Look. - 'It's a Lapras.'

[PAINED]

Come on.

Get up and get moving, you stupid lump.

You better listen or else.

[PAINED]

Hey, you guys, quit hitting it!

Why don't you leave that Lapras alone?

I bet it never did anything to hurt you.

[ANGRY]

[SAD]

Who asked your opinion?

Yeah, this is none of your business.

We don't need any little brats like you

telling us how to handle our Pokémon.

Yeah, we're getting ready for our big Pokémon battle

against the Orange Crew, so get lost.

I can't believe you three are Pokémon Trainers.

The Orange Crew?

This'll teach you to butt into our business, kid. Ha. Go!

- Go! - Go!

[APPEARING]/[EXERTION]

[APPEARING]/[EXERTION]

Spearow, let's show these two

what a real Pokémon battle looks like.

Beedrill, let's get buzzy.

Let's knock 'em out, Hitmonchan.

They don't scare us. Right, Pikachu?

Get inside where it's safe, Togepi.

[CURIOUS]

[grunting]

[EXERTION]

Alright, Pikachu!

[att*ck]

TRACEY 'Hold it.'

[gasping]

This should only take a second.

Hm. Mm-hmm. Hm.

The feathers on your Spearow

indicate it's not getting enough vitamins

and it could stand to lose a few pounds.

The coloring on this Beedrill is pretty poor.

And it's obvious this Hitmonchan isn't getting enough exercise.

- Uh.. - 'Yeah, just as I suspected.'

[CURIOUS]

It's easy to see that these Pokémon

are pitifully underdeveloped.

What do you mean, "Underdeveloped?"

Who made you the expert?

But this Pikachu looks just perfect.

You can tell 'cause its coat's so shiny.

[CONFUSED]

ASH 'Huh? Uh..'

He-hey!

[CONFUSED]

I just wanna make a quick sketch.

[CONFUSED]

'Now hold still.'

[CONFUSED]

It looks like your Pikachu's electric sacks

are in super shape, really strong.

Hey, why don't I measure Pikachu's power levels

with my voltage meter right now?

[CONFUSED]

Okay, now show me a Thunder Shock.

PIKACHU [CURIOUS]

We can't let these creeps ignore us.

- Let's go, guys. - It's battle time.

[EXERTION]

Watch out!

[EXERTION]

[THUNDER SHOCK MOVE]

[groaning]

That was pretty good.

[screaming]

Way to chase 'em away, Pikachu.

[HAPPY]

TRACEY 'We've got to get help!'

[gasping]

[CURIOUS]

I think this Lapras may be really hurt.

[gasping]

Ah, ah..

- Here, it's medicine. - But what do I--

You get Lapras to take it. I'll go and find Nurse Joy!

Hey, wait! Huh?

[PAINED]

Here. Drink this, Lapras.

It'll make you feel better.

Drink it. Come on. Oh!

[WORRIED]

- Are you okay, Ash? - Yeah.

I wonder why Lapras won't take it from me.

MISTY 'How is Lapras doing, Nurse Joy?'

NURSE JOY 'There weren't any serious injuries.'

Lapras will be just fine after a good rest.

- That's good news. - Ah.

[HAPPY]

NURSE JOY 'But there is a problem.'

That Lapras is afraid to have

any kind of contact with people at all.

No wonder, after the way

those guys on the beach were treating it.

That's too bad, especially 'cause it's just an infant.

- Huh? That's a baby Lapras? - Hm.

TRACEY 'Big schools of Lapras pass by the island'

'this time every year.'

'This one must've gotten separated from its group'

'maybe during that last big storm we had.'

ASH 'Sounds like you know a lot about Pokémon.'

Well, you learn a lot from being a Pokémon watcher.

- A Pokémon watcher? - A Pokémon watcher?

[CURIOUS]

What is that?

Pokémon watchers travel the world.

NURSE JOY They go looking for all kinds of Pokémon

so they can observe and study

their characteristics and abilities.

They even search for new, undiscovered Pokémon.

Cool!

[AMAZED]

So that's why you were taking all those notes

about Pikachu and the other Pokémon.

I'm Ash and I'm gonna become a Pokémon Master.

My name's Tracey.

My name's Misty. Nice to meet you.

- Same here. - Mm-hmm.

Hey, what do you say all three of us

try getting that Lapras back with its friends

where it belongs?

- 'Sounds great.' - 'Count me in.'

PIKACHU/TOGEPI [AGREEMENT]

Our losing streak's about to end.

I think our luck must finally be turning.

We're so close to grabbing a really rare Pokémon.

Success is just one step away.

[groaning]

Nurse Joy, my Sandshrew got scratched

while we were training by accident.

And my Voltorb is kind of tired

so maybe it could stay here for a day maybe?

Please, nurse, my Starmie needs a checkup

'cause I wanna challenge the Orange Crew.

Well, let's have a good look at them.

- The Orange Crew? - Don't you remember, Ash?

Those three guys on the beach said somethin'

about battling the Orange Crew, too.

Yeah, I wonder what it's all about.

The Orange Crew is what everybody here calls

this group of Gym Leaders

from the islands of the Orange Archipelago.

Gym Leaders?

TRACEY 'Trainers can't compete in the Orange League'

'until they battle everybody in the Orange Crew.'

Whoa, I didn't know there was a Pokémon League

in the Orange Islands.

Tangelo Island's the place where everybody starts out training.

Then the Trainers have to go around

and b*at every Gym Leader in the Orange Crew

before they can get to battle in the Orange League.

Well, it sounds like you have to be a pretty great Trainer

to get into the Orange League.

I know exactly what you're thinking, Misty.

I have to challenge the Orange Crew

and compete in the Orange League!

Ash, we don't have time to hang around here. Don't you remember?

We have to get that GS Ball back to Pallet

so Professor Oak can study it.

Did you say Professor Oak?

ASH He never said we couldn't make a few stops.

Alright, then let's ask Professor Oak himself

and see what he thinks about it.

- 'Come on, let's go right now.' - The Professor Oak?

Hi, Ash. Hello, Misty. Glad to see you're both okay.

I was getting worried about you two.

'Professor Ivy told me you and Misty had left on a blimp.'

'I hope you didn't run into any trouble.'

- 'We're okay now, professor.' - Ah!

The GS Ball's okay, too

and we're gonna bring it back to you real soon.

Hm, that's great, but where are you calling from?

- From Tangelo Island. - Tangelo Island?

If you don't mind, I'd like to do something before we leave.

Like what?

Well, as long as I'm here

I wanna compete in the Orange League.

OAK 'Mm-hmm. The Orange League, eh?'

You don't mind, do you, professor?

I have a feeling that whether I mind or not

I'm not going to be able to stop you.

Thanks, professor. I knew I could count on you.

Of course, I'm very eager to take a look at that GS Ball

but it's also important for you

to get in some rigorous training during your journey.

Thank you. I'll find out what rigorous means, too.

[chuckles] Good luck, Ash.

Wow, I can't believe I know two people

who know my hero, Professor Oak!

What's the big deal about knowing Professor Oak?

[CONFUSED]

Yeah, he's a real nice guy, but--

Every watcher knows Professor Oak

is one of the greatest Pokémon experts

on the whole entire planet!

I knew Professor Oak was smart

but I didn't know he was famous, too.

[HAPPY]

Okay. You just got yourself a new traveling buddy.

- Huh? - Huh?

See, if I stick with you

I'll finally get the chance

to meet my hero, Professor Oak.

Hey, you just can't invite yourself.

Good news. Lapras is awake and doing fine.

- Ah. - Ha-ha-ha.

GROUP Who's that Pokémon?

GROUP It's Ninetales.

[EXERTION]

MISTY 'Come on over here, Lapras.'

TRACEY This truck will take you back to the ocean!

ASH Then you can find your friends!

PIKACHU [AGREEMENT]

[SAD]

This isn't working. Lapras is still scared of people.

Well, there's got to be something we can do

to get this Lapras to relax.

Yeah!

[humming]

What are you gonna do, Ash?

[CURIOUS]

I'm gonna sing it a lullaby!

Huh?

[EXCITED]

Singing lullabies helps little kids calm down

so maybe it'll work on Lapras, too.

I guess it's worth a try.

[AGREEMENT]

Just wait and see.

[clears throat]

♪ La-la ♪

[EXCITED]

[gasping]

Wow. A Jigglypuff. I have to sketch this.

[HAPPY]

Uh, Jigglypuff, it's not a duet.

[SINGING]

I wanna sing.

[snoring]

JIGGLYPUFF [SINGING]

[SINGING]

[SURPRISED]

[ANGRY]

[yawning] Good morning.

[SLEEPY]

[EXCITED]

Ah! Look at my sketch!

[NERVOUS]

Ah, Lapras still isn't budging.

[WORRIED]

We have to get that Lapras back to the ocean!

[panting]

Come on, Lapras, time to go back to the ocean.

Come on, Lapras.

[NERVOUS]

Oh. Lapras.

PIKACHU [CONCERNED]

- Ah! - Ash.

Come on, Lapras.

[screaming] Ah..

[CONCERNED]

Be careful!

[NERVOUS]

Oh, Lapras, can't you see we're only tryin' to help you?

[SCARED]

- Ah! - Oh, no!

What's happening?

[Jessie and James laughing]

- 'Prepare for trouble.' - 'And make it double.'

[grunts]

JESSIE 'To protect the world from devastation.'

JAMES 'To unite all peoples within our nation.'

JESSIE 'To denounce the evils of truth and love.'

JAMES 'To extend our reach to the stars above.'

- Jessie. - James.

Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light.

Surrender now or prepare to fight.

Meowth. That's right.

Wait until the Boss gets a load of this little baby.

Wow, I can't believe it!

A Meowth that can talk human language!

- Ha! - Uh, uh..

Testing one, two, three.

Meowth, can you please say something

for the "Pokémon Watcher Archive?"

Ah, what should I say?

Maybe you can answer a few questions.

Well, I usually don't do interviews

unless they've been cleared through my talent agent.

JESSIE 'Keep it up and you're gonna need a travel agent.'

- Can't you see we're busy? - Who are you, anyway?

Oh, sorry. My name's Tracey. I'm a Pokémon watcher.

Okay, if you're a Pokémon watcher

then you won't mind stepping aside

and watching us steal this Lapras.

You're not gonna steal anything!

Weezing, Smog att*ck.

[APPEARING]

[SMOG MOVE]

[Team Rocket screaming]

Those crooks!

Ash, we can't let them get away.

We can't catch them on foot.

I know a way we can track 'em.

Venonat, I choose you!

[APPEARING]

[EXERTION]

Use your Radar Eye to track that truck.

[AGREEMENT]

[RADAR EYE MOVE]

[EXCITED]

- Let's go! - Right!

The Boss ain't expecting this.

Just wait until we drop this Lapras in his lap.

[SCARED]

Hey, keep it down, you big baby.

- 'There they go! Come on!' - Huh?

- Ah! - Darn the Twerp!

[HAPPY]

- Step on it, James, and fast. - 'Hang on.'

If I can just get close enough.

[SCARED]

[grunting]

Don't worry, Lapras, I'll save you!

[SCARED]

[grunting]

[gasping]

It's okay, Lapras. We're gonna get out of this somehow.

[HAPPY]

[CONFUSED]

[gasping]

- Stop this truck! - Whoa!

[screaming]

[panting]

[grunting]

[THUNDER SHOCK MOVE]

[groaning]

[gasping]

[screaming]

[screaming]

Hang on, Lapras, I think we're unhooked.

[AGREEMENT]

[whimpering]

[screaming]

Stop, stop, stop!

TEAM ROCKET Team Rocket's flipping out again!

[sighs]

[grunting]

[screaming]

[SCARED]

[WORRIED]

[grunting]

[screaming]

[CONCERNED]

Huh?

[grunting]

Oh, no, they're heading straight for a cliff!

Huh?

We got to make it turn!

[EXERTION]

Come on!

[EXERTION]

[SCARED]

[screaming]

[SCARED]

Ah. We're gonna be okay!

We'll just stick together. Right, Lapras?

[RELIEVED]

[CONFUSED]

TRACEY Ash!

Where are you?

You're positive they're around here, Venonat?

[AFFIRMATIVE]

What's that?

[HAPPY]

[chuckles]

PIKACHU [EXCITED]

Hey!

It's Ash and Pikachu! They made it okay!

Lapras, too! Way to go!

[EXCITED]

[laughs]

You put up quite a fight, Lapras.

[laughs] But I caught you, anyway.

Did he say, "Caught?"

- He likes to dream. - Huh?

[EXCITED]

[HAPPY]

So, Ash, it looks like

Lapras has decided it wants to go with you.

That's right, Nurse Joy.

We're gonna travel around the Orange Islands

and try to find its friends.

I'm sure you'll treat it very well.

Hm. Don't worry, we will.

And I'll be with them to help out, too.

Well, I guess we're ready to go.

[EXCITED]

[HAPPY]

Goodbye! Take care now!

- Bye-bye! - Bye-bye!

We'll see you later, Nurse Joy! Bye!

NARRATOR And so Ash leaves with new friends and a new purpose.

Now he'll have to battle and b*at The Orange Crew

to qualify for the Orange-League competition.

He may lose some matches, but please, Ash

don't lose Professor Oak's GS Ball.

ASH Don't go away. Pikachu's Jukebox is next.
