SQUAAAWK.

SQUAAWK.

SQUAAWK.

COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO.

Narrator: WITH THE POKéMON LEAGUE LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AWAY,

ASH IS BACK IN PALETT,

PREPARING FOR THE BIG COMPETITION.

HE'S STICKING STRICTLY TO A PUNISHING DAILY REGIMEN,

RISING WITH THE SUN, REACHING FOR THE STARS, RACING WITH THE--

HEY, WHERE IS ASH, ANYWAY?

[SNORING]

[SNORING]

PIKA--

CHUUUUU!

WHAT'S THAT?

EWW, SMELLS LIKE BROCK BURNT THE EGGS.

MIME, MIME, MIME, MIME, MIME.

[YAWNING]

2 EGGS, SUNNY SIDE DOWN, FOR ASH,

AND MY SUPER-SECRET-RECIPE MYSTERY OMELET FOR MISTY.

Misty: OOH, THANKS, BROCK.

ASH, SINCE YOU'RE TAKING A BREAK FROM TRAINING,

WHY DON'T YOU HELP ME IN THE GARDEN

WHEN YOU FINISH BREAKFAST?

I--I AM TRAINING!

I GOT A LOT OF TRAINING TO DO TODAY.

OH, IS THAT SO?

WHERE ARE YOU TRAINING TODAY?

UH, WELL, UH--

WELL, TODAY WE'RE ALL GOING TO CLIMB UP INTO THE MOUNTAINS

FOR SOME REALLY TOUGH TRAINING.

WHAT?! YOU NEVER MENTIONED MOUNTAINS TO US!

JUST PLAY ALONG, OK,

AND I'LL EXPLAIN WHEN WE GET OUTSIDE.

[NERVOUS LAUGHTER]

WELL, BYE, MOM, SEE YA! HA HA HA!

HEY, WAIT FOR ME!

COME ON, HURRY UP, LET'S GO!

QUIT PUSHING! WHAT'S THE BIG RUSH, ANYWAY?

YOU DON'T KNOW MY MOM!

I'D RATHER CLIMB MOUNTAINS THAN DO CHORES FOR HER!

SHE'D HAVE ME WORKING SO HARD IN HER GARDEN

THAT I'D BE TOO WIPED OUT TO BATTLE IN THE POKéMON LEAGUE!

I BET YOUR MOM WOULD MAKE A GREAT POKéMON TRAINER.

PIKA, PIKA.

OH, KIDS?

ON YOUR WAY BACK FROM THE MOUNTAINS,

COULD YOU STOP BY THE XANADU NURSERY

AND PICK UP 300-400 POUNDS OF FERTILIZER FOR ME?

AAH! AAH! TOLD YA!

RUN FOR IT!

PIKA! PIKA!

SEE YA LATER, MOM!

WAIT!

[PANTING]

THAT WAS CLOSE!

ASH, WHAT'S THAT THING? HUH?

Misty: IT'S GIGANTIC.

Brock: LOOKS LIKE A GREENHOUSE.

IT'S THE XANADU NURSERY,

THE PLACE MY MOM WAS TALKING ABOUT.

WE USED TO COME HERE ALL THE TIME.

I'M SURPRISED IT'S STILL IN BUSINESS.

THE MAN WHO OWNED IT MOVED AWAY

A LONG TIME AGO.

I WONDER WHO RUNS THE PLACE NOW.

Brock: IT'S SURE FILLED WITH A LOT OF BEAUTIFUL THINGS.

TREES AND VINES AND FLOWERS AND PLANTS AND--HUH?

THAT GIRL'S MORE BEAUTIFUL

THAN ANY FLOWER I'VE EVER SEEN.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, BROCK?

I DON'T SEE ANY BEAUTIFUL GIRL.

JUST TURN AROUND! [GIGGLING]

MISTY, PLEASE.

ONLY ONE OF US CAN HALLUCINATE AT A TIME.

I SAW HER RIGHT THERE--

RIGHT THERE IN THAT CLEARING.

GLOOM, GLOOM. GLOOM, GLOOM.

HUH? YOU'RE GETTING MISTY OVER A GLOOM?

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING ABOUT ME?

I WASN'T TALKING ABOUT YOU.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

I THOUGHT YOU LIKED BEING MR. BIG MOUTH.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

AAH! WATCH OUT!

HE'S GOT A FLAMETHROWER!

DON'T SHOOT! WE WEREN'T DOING ANYTHING,

HONEST, WE WEREN'T!

WE'LL LEAVE RIGHT AWAY, JUST DON'T USE

THAT FLAMETHROWER!

SO, YOU'RE TRAINING FOR THE POKéMON LEAGUE.

I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A POKéMON TRAINER.

MY NAME'S POTTER, AND I WORK HERE IN THE NURSERY.

A LOT OF TRAINERS VISIT

'CAUSE THEIR GRASS-TYPE POKéMON LOVE IT.

GOOD IDEA!

BULBASAUR, I CHOOSE YOU!

BULBASAUR.

COME ON, BULBASAUR, WANNA GO LOOK

AT ALL THE FLOWERS AND STUFF?

BULBA!

PIKA!

HEY, WAIT FOR ME!

UM, WHEN WE FIRST GOT HERE

I SAW A GIRL INSIDE THE GREENHOUSE.

OH, YOU MUST BE TALKING ABOUT FLORINDA.

AAH, FLORINDA.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL NAME FOR A WIFE.

HOW PRETTY!

TO-GE, TO-GE!

WHERE'S BULBASAUR?

PI-KA!

SAUR...

BULBA, BULBA!

SAUR...

BULBA!

SAUR.

HUH?

BULBA...

[PURRING]

SAUR.

BULBASAUR, WHAT'S THE MATTER?

HMM, IT SAYS ITS SMELL AFFECTS POKéMON

LIKE CATNIP AFFECTS CATS.

HEY, TAKE IT EASY, BULBASAUR.

SAUR.

BE CAREFUL, WILL YA?

SAUR!

AH...AH...

SAUR.

BULBASAUR!

PIKA, PIKA!

WHAT IS THIS?

STOP! DON'T SMELL THAT PLANT!

HUH?

THAT'S STUN STEM.

IF ANYONE-- POKéMON OR HUMAN-- SMELLS THAT WEED,

THEY BECOME TOTALLY PARALYZED!

AAH! AAH!

WHAT WILL WE DO?

BULBASAUR SMELLED IT!

HMM...

GLOOM, QUICK-- BRING BULBASAUR INTO THE HOUSE.

GLOOM, GLOOM.

GLOOM!

GLOOM.

GLOOOOOM.

OH, I'LL HELP!

GLOOM, GLOOM. GLOOM, GLOOM.

AHH! AHH! AHH!

BULBASAUR, YOU'RE OK!

SAUR!

IT'S A GOOD THING GLOOM'S BEEN TENDING THE STUN STEM

IN THE NURSERY FOR SO LONG.

IT'S BUILT UP A STRONG RESISTANCE TO IT

AND DEVELOPED THAT ANTIDOTE.

YOUR BULBASAUR SHOULD BE FINE NOW.

LUCKY FOR US. THANKS, FLORINDA.

UH... BULBASAUR?

SAUR! GLOOM.

BULBASAUR.

GLOOM, GLOOM!

BULBA!

GLOOOOM.

BULBASAUR, SAUR-BULBA, BULBASAUR!

GLOOM, GLOOM! BULBA SAUR-SAUR!

BULBA... GLOOM! SAUR!

AW, IT LOOKS LIKE THOSE TWO

ARE REALLY HAVING A GREAT TIME WITH EACH OTHER.

IT'S NICE TO SEE 2 GRASS POKéMON

WITH SO MUCH IN COMMON

GETTING TOGETHER.

OH, IT LOOKS LIKE GLOOM AND BULBASAUR

AREN'T THE ONLY ONES GETTING TOGETHER.

THE XANADU NURSERY HAS BEEN IN MY FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS,

AND NOW THEY NEED ME TO RUN IT.

BUT I'M A BIG FAILURE AT RAISING POKéMON.

I CAN'T EVEN HELP MY GLOOM EVOLVE INTO A VILEPLUME,

AND IF I CAN'T DO THAT,

HOW WILL I EVER BE ABLE TO RUN A HUGE NURSERY?

Brock: BUT I'M SURE YOU'VE TAUGHT GLOOM SOME ATTACKS.

A FEW.

BUT MY GLOOM DESERVES A BETTER TRAINER,

AND MY FAMILY DESERVES A BETTER DAUGHTER.

SHE'S TRIED.

FLORINDA EVEN GOT A LEAF STONE

AND USED IT ON HER GLOOM

SO IT WOULD EVOLVE INTO A VILEPLUME

BUT IT JUST DIDN'T WORK.

IT'S ALL MY FAULT.

I GUESS THE REASON WHY GLOOM WON'T EVOLVE

IS BECAUSE I HAVEN'T GIVEN IT ENOUGH LOVE.

NO! FLORINDA, DON'T YOU SEE?

YOU LOVE GLOOM SO MUCH THAT IT DOESN'T GET GLOOMY,

AND THAT'S THE REASON WHY IT DOESN'T EVOLVE.

MAYBE.

STILL...

HMM, THIS PROBLEM HAS NOTHING TO DO

WITH LOVING A POKéMON TOO MUCH OR TOO LITTLE.

Ash, Misty, Brock: PROFESSOR OAK?!

THIS LEAF STONE IS A FAKE!

Ash: A FAKE?

PROFESSOR, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I'VE BEEN GETTING REPORTS OF SOME CON ARTISTS

WHO HAVE BEEN PEDDLING PHONY EVOLUTION STONES,

SO I DECIDED TO DO

A LITTLE INVESTIGATING ON MY OWN.

FLORINDA, WHAT DID THE PEOPLE

WHO SOLD YOU THE LEAF STONE LOOK LIKE?

WELL, THERE WAS A GUY WHO WORE HIS HAIR

KINDA LONG, LIKE THIS.

AND A GIRL WITH BIG HAIR, LIKE THIS.

AND A MEOWTH WHO KNEW HOW TO TALK FAST.

All: I KNEW IT, THAT'S TEAM ROCKET!

PREPARE FOR TROUBLE FROM A GIRL WITH BIG HAIR!

AND MAKE IT DOUBLE FROM A GUY WITH HAIR LIKE THAT THERE.

HAH! TO PROTECT THE WORLD FROM DEVASTATION.

UNH. TO UNITE--

MY HAIR LOOKS ALL RIGHT, DOESN'T IT?

TO DENOUNCE THE EVILS OF TRUTH AND LOVE.

TO EXTEND OUR REACH TO THE STARS ABOVE.

JESSY! JAMES!

TEAM ROCKET BLAST OFF AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT!

[GROANING]

WHAT'S THE MATTER, CAT GOT YOUR TONGUE?

[SIGH]

MAYBE WE OUGHT TO GET OUT OF THIS PLACE

BEFORE THAT GIRL FINDS THE LEAF STONE WE SOLD IS A FAKE.

DON'T BE SUCH A 'FRAIDY CAT.

WE CAN'T PASS UP THIS OPPORTUNITY.

THERE MUST BE RARE POKéMON HERE SOMEWHERE.

AHH... HUH?

"BEWARE-- STUN STEM"?

WITH ONE WHIFF OF THIS WEED,

WE'RE GUARANTEED TO SUCCEED!

MEOWTH!

WHO'S THAT...

Florinda: I CAN'T BELIEVE I LET TEAM ROCKET

TRICK ME INTO BUYING A FAKE LEAF STONE.

BUT MAYBE IT'S JUST AS WELL THAT THEY DID.

IT PROVES THAT I'M NOT SMART ENOUGH

TO RUN THIS NURSERY BY MYSELF.

I'M JUST SO USELESS!

DON'T WORRY.

I'LL GET YOU A REAL LEAF STONE!

[CLEARS THROAT]

I WOULDN'T PROMISE THAT

IF I WERE YOU.

YOU DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA

WHERE TO FIND A LEAF STONE,

DO YOU, BROCK?

AHH, BUT FIRST,

I'LL TRACK DOWN THAT TEAM ROCKET

AND GET ALL YOUR MONEY BACK!

UH, I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE ANY IDEA

HOW TO FIND TEAM ROCKET, EITHER.

OH, DON'T WORRY.

THEY USUALLY SEEM TO FIND US SOONER OR LATER.

[ALARM PINGING]

OH, NO!

SOMEBODY IS IN THE GREENHOUSE STEALING PLANTS!

Meowth: I GOT A GREEN THUMB FOR THIEVING!

HEH HEH HEH!

[GASP]

THE GUY WITH THE HAIR LIKE THIS

AND THE GIRL WITH THE HAIR LIKE THIS

AND THE TALKING MEOWTH--

THEY SOLD ME THAT LEAF STONE!

Brock: LET'S GET 'EM! Ash: COME ON!

I TOLD YA!

Brock: OK, FREEZE!

Jessy: WELL, WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT?

THOSE PESKY LITTLE PESTS ARE BACK AGAIN.

AND WE FEEL THE SAME ABOUT YOU!

COME ON, LET'S THROW THEM OUT OF HERE!

STOP THAT!

THOSE PLANTS ARE LIKE CHILDREN TO ME!

James: WELL, LOOK WHO IT IS.

Jessy: ANOTHER UNSATISFIED CUSTOMER.

Brock: HOW LOW CAN YOU THREE GO?

YOU SOLD HER THAT PHONY LEAF STONE!

WE KNEW WE'D BEEN BAD,

AND WE WANTED TO CHANGE OUR WAYS,

SO THE THREE OF US DECIDED

TO TURN OVER A NEW LEAF.

BUT THE LEAF WAS FAKE!

THAT'S NOT FUNNY.

BUL-BA!

GLOOM, GLOOM!

WE'RE IN A GREENHOUSE, RIGHT?

SO WE NEED A GRASS POKéMON

LIKE BULBASAUR.

BULBASAUR'S THE NUMBER ONE SEED!

BULBASAUR, GO TO IT! BULBASAUR!

TIE THEM UP WITH YOUR VINE WHIP, BULBASAUR!

BULBA!

OH, BULBASAUR, THAT WAS WONDERFUL!

Ash: NICE WORK!

[EVIL LAUGHTER]

JUST BECAUSE WE'RE TIED WITH THESE VINES

DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE WHIPPED.

ANY SECOND NOW WE'LL BE SAVED

BY OUR SECRET WEAPON.

WHAT'S THAT?

Jessy and James: MEOWTH!

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!

[RHYTHMIC GRUNTING]

MEOWTH, WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG?

HURRY UP!

AHH, DON'T RUSH ME, KID.

USING ANCIENT HERBAL SECRETS,

I HAVE SHAPED A SPHERE

CERTAIN TO STUN YOU.

AH! AH! AH!

PLAY BALL!

[COUGHING]

BULBA...

OH, WATCH OUT!

DON'T BREATHE IN ANY OF THAT POWDER!

IT'S VERY POWERFUL STUN SPORE!

OOOM, OOOM!

I BREATHED IN!

PIKA.

I--I CAN'T--

I CAN'T MOVE.

UNH...ALL THE STRENGTH HAS BEEN DRAINED OUT OF ME.

Jessy: HA HA HA HA!

NO! PIKACHU!

[LAUGHING]

WE ALWAYS KNEW YOU WERE TOO WEAK

TO BE A POKéMON TRAINER.

PIKA!

PIKACHU!

Jessy and James: HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Brock: FLORINDA, HURRY!

USE YOUR GLOOM TO BATTLE TEAM ROCKET!

OH, I COULDN'T!

I HAVEN'T TRAINED MY GLOOM WELL ENOUGH

FOR IT TO BE IN BATTLE.

I JUST KNOW MY GLOOM WOULDN'T STAND A CHANCE

OF WINNING A BATTLE AGAINST THEIR POKéMON.

I'LL JUST RUN AND GET SOME OF MY HEALING HERBS.

FLORINDA, YOU HAVE TO!

THEY'LL RUN OFF WITH PIKACHU IF YOU DON'T!

FLORINDA, DON'T RUN AWAY!

YOUR GLOOM IS OUR ONLY HOPE!

YOU CAN DO IT!

OH...I...CAN'T.

PLEASE, FLORINDA.

I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT.

HMM, I'LL DO MY BEST.

GLOOM, GO! GLOOM!

GLOOOOOM!

GLOOM, GLOOM!

SAUR.

HA! THOSE WIMPY WEEDS ARE NO MATCH FOR TEAM ROCKET.

BUT WE CAN'T LET A CHALLENGER GO WITHOUT A BATTLE.

ARBOK, GO!

WEEZING, GO GET 'EM!

WEEZ, WEEZ, WEEZ.

ARBOK.

ARBOK, TOXIC ATTACK.

WEEZING, SMOG ATTACK.

Florinda: GLOOM!

[GASPING]

GLOOOM.

SEE, GLOOM CAN'T BATTLE,

AND IT'S ALL MY FAULT.

NO, FLORINDA, YOU CAN'T GIVE UP!

NOW THINK--YOU MUST HAVE TAUGHT GLOOM

TO BE GOOD AT SOME KIND OF ATTACK!

PLEASE, DON'T GIVE UP, JUST TRY!

GLOOM... BULBA.

GLOOM, MAYBE YOU COULD GIVE YOUR, UH,

DOUBLE TEAM ATTACK A TRY.

GLOOOOOOM!

HUH? WHAT'S THAT?

AAAAH! IT'S A WHOLE ROOMFUL OF GLOOM!

[COUGHING]

AH, IT'S WORKING!

NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO WIN THE BATTLE

WITH A MORE POWERFUL ATTACK!

OH, BROCK, DO YOU THINK A SOLAR BEAM ATTACK WOULD BE GOOD?

WHA-- YOU TAUGHT GLOOM

THE MOST POWERFUL GRASS POKéMON ATTACK?!

OH, DO YOU THINK I SHOULDN'T HAVE?

I SAW IT IN A POKéMON MAGAZINE,

AND I THOUGHT I'D GIVE IT A TRY.

NO, I JUST HOPE IT WORKS.

GIVE IT YOUR BEST SHOT, FLORINDA.

RIGHT!

ALL RIGHT, GLOOM,

LET'S TRY YOUR SOLAR BEAM ATTACK!

[COUGHING]

PI-KA!

AAAAH!

YOU LITTLE RAT!

PIKACHUUU!

All: WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!

WELL, BROCK, WAS THAT OK?

THAT WAS OK, FLORINDA.

THAT WAS THE MOST IMPRESSIVE SOLAR BEAM I'VE EVER SEEN.

AWESOME.

YOU WERE GREAT.

BULBASAUR.

GLOOM, GLOOM.

BULBASAUR...

WELL, IS EVERYBODY FEELING BETTER?

YEAH, WE ALL TOOK SOME OF GLOOM'S ANTIDOTE,

AND EVERYBODY'S FEELING JUST FINE.

BROCK, I'M SO AMAZED.

I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW GLOOM GOT TO BE AS STRONG AS IT HAS.

YOU DIDN'T KNOW IT, FLORINDA,

BUT GLOOM WAS GETTING STRONGER ALL THE TIME

BECAUSE OF THE LOVE AND CARE YOU GAVE IT.

IT'S SO POWERFUL THERE'S NO NEED TO MAKE IT EVOLVE NOW.

THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT, BROCK.

BEFORE YOU CAME,

I DIDN'T THINK I COULD DO VERY MUCH OF ANYTHING.

BUT YOU HELPED ME BELIEVE IN MYSELF.

NOW I FEEL READY TO RUN THIS NURSERY FOR MY FAMILY.

THAT IS, IF ONE VERY SPECIAL GUY

IS THERE TO SHARE IT ALL WITH ME.

UH, WELL, I-- THIS IS SO SUDDEN!

I'VE ALWAYS DREAMED OF HAVING SOMEONE LIKE YOU,

SOMEONE WHO'S KIND AND TALENTED

AND BEAUTIFUL AS YOU ARE.

AND NOW YOU'VE MADE ALL MY DREAMS COME TRUE!

YES, FLORINDA, DARLING,

YES, I'LL SHARE MY LIFE WITH YOU!

HEY, BROCK, ARE YOU TALKING TO SOMEBODY?

I THINK MAYBE YOU HAD A LITTLE TOO MUCH OF THAT ANTIDOTE.

I WAS WONDERING--

WELL, I'D LIKE IT VERY MUCH

IF WE COULD RUN MY FAMILY'S NURSERY...

TOGETHER.

DO YOU MEAN...

YES--I MEAN I LOVE YOU.

FLORINDA, I LOVE YOU, TOO.

I'VE LOVED YOU SINCE THE DAY I SAW YOU,

BUT I WAS TOO AFRAID TO TELL YOU.

TO-GE, TOGEPI!

UNH! OH!

REJECTED BY THE ONE GIRL I LOVED.

I'LL NEVER FIND ANOTHER ONE LIKE HER AGAIN.

DON'T WORRY, BROCK.

YOU'LL FIND PLENTY OF OTHER GIRLS TO REJECT YOU.

COME ON. LET'S GET SOME FLOWERS FOR MY MOM

AND HEAD HOME.

SAUR! GLOOM.

HEY, ASH, YOU DIDN'T DO ANY TRAINING.

THE POKéMON LEAGUE COMPETITION

IS LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AWAY.

WHEN ARE YOU GONNA GET READY?

Ash: DON'T WORRY, MISTY,

THERE'S ALWAYS TOMORROW!

Misty: OHH!

Narrator: DON'T BE SO SURE, ASH.

YOU'RE ALREADY ONE TOMORROW CLOSER

TO THE BATTLE OF YOUR LIFE!
