Narrator: WITH ONLY 3 WEEKS LEFT TO THE POKéMON LEAGUE COMPETITION,

ASH IS BEHIND IN HIS TRAINING.

BUT HE'S WORKING HARD TO CATCH UP...

UH, I THINK!

I CHOOSE YOU, HITMONCHAN!

CHAN!

OHH! THERE'S BRUNO'S HITMONCHAN!

BRUNO'S A HARD-CORE FIGHTING-TYPE TRAINER.

PIKA!

HITMONCHAN, THUNDER PUNCH ATTACK!

HUH? HUH?

COUCH POTATOES.

HEY, TURN IT BACK ON!

THIS IS NO TIME FOR YOU TO BE WATCHING TV.

AREN'T YOU EVER GONNA STOP GOOFING OFF

AND START TRAINING, ASH?

THAT'S JUST WHAT I WAS DOING.

HUH?

THAT WAS A VIDEO OF BRUNO,

WHO HAPPENS TO BE ONE OF THE ELITE 4 POKéMON TRAINERS.

AND THE REASON WE WERE WATCHING HIM

IS SO THAT WE COULD TRY TO LEARN

THE REAL SECRETS OF POKéMON!

MM-HMM. WE WERE LEARNING THE SECRETS.

WHAT WERE THOSE SECRETS AGAIN, BROCK?

[GROANS] PIKACHU!

WELL, THOSE SECRETS MUST BE REALLY SECRET.

TOGI TOGI.

THE ELITE 4 MUST HAVE DISCOVERED

SOME SECRET OF POKéMON.

THAT'S WHAT MAKES THEM SUCH POWERFUL TRAINERS.

AND THAT'S WHY I WANT BRUNO TO TEACH ME THE SECRET

SO I CAN BE A GREAT TRAINER LIKE HIM!

[SARCASTIC] I'M SURE THAT'LL HAPPEN.

HUH?

BRUNO'S A SUPERSTAR.

HE WOULDN'T WASTE HIS TIME ON US.

PIKA.

OHH. IF WE KNEW HOW TO FIND HIM,

I BET HE'D TRAIN ME.

MOMMY KNOWS HOW!

[ALL SIGH]

THERE'S A RUMOR GOING AROUND

THAT BRUNO'S SECRET TRAINING SPOT

IS SOMEPLACE ON MOUNT HIDEAWAY.

MOM, DON'T MAKE DINNER

'CAUSE WE'RE GOING TO MOUNT HIDEAWAY!

HUH.

HEY, GUYS,

LOOKS LIKE MOUNT HIDEAWAY'S ONLY 7 OR 8 MILES FROM HERE.

OH, OH... HURRY UP!

LET'S GET GOING!

MAYBE YOU'RE TIRED.

WE COULD STOP AND REST FOR A WHILE IF YOU WANT TO.

I WOULDN'T MIND THAT.

ALL RIGHT.

LET'S FIND SOMEPLACE

FOR ME TO TAKE A REST.

OHHH. I'M TIRED AND HUNGRY.

I'M EXHAUSTED AND STARVING.

WELL, I'M FINE AND DANDY.

WELL, HERE WE ARE.

MA'AM, HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING

ABOUT A POKéMON TRAINER NAMED BRUNO

TRAINING SOMEWHERE ON THIS MOUNTAIN?

TRAINER? YES.

COULD BE.

I HEAR TELL OF A TRIO OF WANDERING WASTRELS

CAVORTING WITH POKéMON IN THESE PARTS,

AND THEY COULD BE THE VARMINTS

WHO KEEP STEALING MY MUSKRAT MEATBALLS!

WHOA!

THOSE RASCALS! I CAN'T FIGURE ...

MMM... HUH?

THESE ARE PRETTY TASTY!

JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF MUSKRAT.

TOGEPI!

HOW HUNGRY DO YOU HAVE TO BE

TO EAT MUSKRAT MEATBALLS?

[CLATTERING] All: HUH?

THERE THEY ARE. IT'S THEM AGAIN.

AHH. HEY, LOOK!

HMM.

COME ON BACK HERE, YOU POACHING POLECATS!

I'LL TEACH YOU TO MOOCH MY VITTLES!

THOSE AREN'T POLECATS!

OOH. OOH.

OOOOH. OOOOH.

PREPARE FOR TROUBLE, WHIPPERSNAPPER!

AND MAKE IT DOUBLE, YOUNG FELLER!

I THINK WE CAN FAST FORWARD THROUGH THIS!

[SPEEDED-UP VOICE] TO PROTECT THE WORLD FROM DEVASTATION.

[ALSO SPEEDED-UP] TO UNITE ALL PEOPLES WITHIN OUR NATION.

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!

SURRENDER NOW OR PREPARE TO FIGHT!

OK.

[NORMAL SPEED] MEOWTH, THAT'S RIGHT!

AHH. EXHAUSTING.

I THINK I BIT MY TONGUE.

THOSE LAME DISGUISES DON'T FOOL US!

WHAT KIND OF TROUBLE

ARE YOU THREE UP TO THIS TIME?

SORRY TO DISAPPOINT YOU.

WE'RE JUST TRYING TO GET BACK TO THE BASICS.

SINCE WE ALWAYS SEEM TO LOSE TO YOU TWERPS,

WE DECIDED TO SEEK POKé-ENLIGHTENMENT

BY LIVING AS POOR HERMITS ON THIS MOUNTAIN.

YES, WE DIDN'T EVEN BRING ANY MONEY FOR FOOD.

TRUE. WE'RE LIVING OFF THE LAND AS NATURE INTENDED.

YEAH, THE LAND AND THIS OLD LADY'S MEAT-KABOBS.

I'LL TEACH YOU, YOU MANGY MOOCHES!

AAH! AAH! AAH!

WHOA-OH-OH-OH!

LET'S BEAT IT!

FAST!

TOGEPI!

PIKACHU.

YOU REALLY SHOWED THEM!

HEH HEH HEH.

I RECKON YOU YOUNG'UNS

ARE HEADING UP THE MOUNTAIN, ARE YOU?

YES!

THEN I RECKON YOU'LL RUN INTO

SOME OF THE GIANT ONIX UP YONDER.

THERE ARE GIANT ONIX?

YEP. GROUND'S SO GOOD FOR GROWING AROUND THESE PARTS,

ONIX JUMP UP LIKE FIDDLEHEADS.

YEP. WE'RE FAMOUS HERE FOR OUR OVERGROWED ONIX!

HUH. FERTILE SOIL MAKES THEM GROW LARGER.

THEY MUST BE SCARY.

DON'T WORRY NONE, MISSY.

THOSE ONIX MAY BE OVERGROWED,

BUT THEY'RE AS GENTLE AS CAN BE.

[ALL SIGH]

WE'VE WALKED FOR HOURS,

AND WE HAVEN'T SEEN ONE SIGN OF BRUNO OR ONE GIANT ONIX.

HEY, LOOK.

WHAT IS IT?

SEE DOWN THERE?

IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S SOME KIND OF ROAD.

Brock: THIS IS NO ROAD.

I'D SAY THIS IS SOME KIND OF TRACK

LEFT BY SOMETHING REALLY BIG.

[RUMBLING]

AAH! AAH! AAH!

WHAT'S THAT SOUND?

SOMETHING'S COMING!

[ROAR]

WELL, THERE'S YOUR GIANT ONIX!

PIKA!

IT'S COMING THIS WAY!

RUN FOR IT! BEFORE WE GET CRUSHED!

[ROAR]

I'D LOVE TO STUDY WHAT MAKES THE ONIX GROW SO BIG UP HERE.

MAYBE YOU CAN, IF WE SURVIVE!

[ROAR]

IT'S GAINING ON US!

OHH! WE'RE HISTORY! AAH!

Man: OVER HERE!

[ROAR]

WOW. THAT WAS CLOSE.

ARE YOU ALL OK?

MM-HMM.

YES, THANKS TO YOU.

AH! OHH!

WHAT'S UP WITH YOU TWO?

UHHH... IT'S REALLY HIM!

UHH... UHH...

IS THERE A REASON YOU'RE FOLLOWING ME?

UH...WELL, YOU SEE, UH...

PLEASE HELP HIM.

YOU SEE, OUR FRIEND'S TRAINING

FOR THE POKéMON LEAGUE COMPETITION.

HE DOES THINGS WITHOUT THINKING,

AND SOMETIMES HE'S NOT TOO SMART,

BUT HE'S SERIOUS ABOUT POKéMON,

AND HE COULD REALLY USE YOUR HELP, SIR.

ASH, ASK HIM FOR HIS HELP, WILL YOU?

UH, UH...

PLEASE HELP ME.

UH, COME ON! DO IT RIGHT!

PLEASE, I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!

TOGEPI!

PLEASE, MASTER BRUNO,

PLEASE HELP ASH!

I'LL DO ANYTHING.

ARE YOU WILLING TO DO EVERYTHING I TELL YOU TO DO?

UH... UH...

ARE WE?

UH-HUH.

Together: YES, SIR!

Ash: EVERYTHING!

UHH...MMM.

UHH.

SO, WHAT DOES HAULING WATER BUCKETS

HAVE TO DO WITH POKéMON TRAINING?

IT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH IT!

UNH. CARRYING THESE BUCKETS OF WATER IS A PERFECT WAY

TO BUILD OUR PHYSICAL STRENGTH UP!

AND BRUNO SAYS THAT IT'S ALSO GREAT

FOR DEVELOPING INNER BALANCE AND OUTER EQUILIBRIUM.

OHHH!

[SPLASH]

OHH. OHH. OHH.

GUESS I NEED TO WORK ON THE EQUI-WHATCHAMACALLIT.

NEXT WE'LL SPLIT SOME WOOD.

WHAT IS THE MEANING

OF SPLITTING WOOD?

HMM. SPLITTING WOOD BUILDS A FIRM GRIP,

AND THAT IS A FIRM FOUNDATION FOR ANY TRAINER.

WELL, THIS OUGHT TO BE USEFUL.

ASH NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO GET A GRIP.

UHHH.

BE ONE WITH THE WOOD.

AAAAAH!

WAAAAH!

UHHH...

UH, I GUESS YOUR HEAD GOT IN THE WAY.

NEXT, YOU MUST CARRY THESE STONES UP THIS HILL.

OK.

WHAT LESSON WILL THIS TEACH US, MASTER BRUNO?

IF YOU CAN CONTROL PHYSICAL NATURE,

YOU CAN CONTROL YOUR OWN INNER NATURE AS WELL.

UHHH...

I THINK I GOT IT.

AAAHHH!

HELP, HELP, HELP, HELP!

HELP, HELP, HELP, HELP!

PEEL THE BARK OFF THIS TWIG.

OK.

WHAT'S THIS FOR?

HMM. SOMETHING IMPORTANT.

MUST BE SOME KIND OF LESSON.

IT'S AS CLEAN AS A WHISTLE, MASTER BRUNO!

WHAT LESSON DOES IT TEACH US?

IT TEACHES AN IMPORTANT LESSON

YOU MUST ALWAYS REMEMBER.

IF YOU'RE EVER GOING TO GO CAMPING, BRING A FORK!

[ALL GROAN]

MMM...MMM...

THANKS A LOT, KID.

BRUNO'S STEW TASTES BETTER WITH CHOPSTICKS.

THAT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE SUCH AN IMPORTANT LESSON.

A LOT OF HIS LESSONS

SEEM PRETTY PHONY TO ME.

I DON'T THINK HE KNOWS ANY POKéMON SECRETS.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU TWO ARE DOUBTING

HOW GREAT MASTER BRUNO IS!

HE'S SO PERFECTLY TRAINED

THAT HE'LL SENSE MY ATTACK AND REACT LIKE LIGHTNING.

MASTER! SHOW THEM YOUR LIGHTNING SPEED!

UHHH... AHH...

HEY. THAT HURT.

UHH...

HUH? MASTER?

YOU WANT TO LEARN THE SECRET OF POKéMON?

YES, SIR! YES, SIR!

MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD!

[SIGH]

THERE IS NO SECRET.

HUH? PIKA?

YOU MEAN YOU DIDN'T COME TO MOUNT HIDEAWAY

SO YOU COULD KEEP THE POKéMON SECRET SECRET?

THE ONLY REASON I CAME UP TO THIS MOUNTAIN

WAS TO TRY TO CATCH THE BIGGEST AND BADDEST

OF ALL THE GIANT ONIX THAT LIVE UP HERE.

IT'S NO SECRET THAT YOU'VE GOT TO CAPTURE STRONG POKéMON

TO BECOME A STRONG POKéMON TRAINER LIKE ME!

AAAH! AAH! PIKA!

AAH! MY IMAGE OF MASTER BRUNO HAS JUST BEEN SHATTERED!

[SOBBING]

DID YOU JUST HEAR WHAT I JUST HEARD?

ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS CATCH THE BIGGEST GIANT ONIX WE CAN FIND,

AND WE'LL BE AS STRONG AS THE ELITE 4 TRAINERS!

AND WE WON'T EVEN HAVE TO DO ANY POKéMON TRAINING!

[LAUGHING]

WHO'S THAT POKéMON?

IT'S...

ALAKAZAM!

Jessy: THIS TRACK WAS MADE BY THAT ONIX?

Meowth: YEAH. IT MUST BE HUMONGOUS.

THE ONLY WAY WE COULD CAPTURE THAT THING IS BY TOTAL SURPRISE.

DON'T YOU WORRY.

WE'VE GOT SOMETHING "ONIX-PECTED."

[LAUGHING]

THAT JOKE IS "ONIX-CEPTABLE."

AND NOW ALL WE'VE GOT TO DO IS WAIT

FOR THAT ROCKY REPTILE TO SHOW ITS PETRIFIED PUSS!

[RUMBLING]

STONE COLD!

ROCK AND ROLL!

[ROAR]

AAAH! AAAH! AAAH!

[ROAR]

LET'S FORGET IT!

WE CAME HERE TO BAG AN ONIX,

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.

UHHHH...

OH, WELL.

I GUESS BRUNO DIDN'T REALLY

HAVE ANY BIG SECRET OF POKéMON AFTER ALL.

PIKA.

MAYBE THAT'S JUST WHAT HE TELLS ALL THE TRAINERS

WHO WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT THE SECRET IS.

DON'T BET ON IT.

[BOOM]

HUH? WHAT WAS THAT?

SOUNDS LIKE TROUBLE!

LET'S GO!

[ROAR]

WE HIT IT!

I'VE BEEN SHOOTING SKEETS

SINCE I WAS A TOT.

GOOD AIMS, JAMES!

[ROAR]

All: AAAAH!

AAAAH!

Meowth: HEAD FOR THAT CAVE!

DON'T YOU KNOW LADIES GO FIRST?

ETIQUETTE SCHMETIQUETTE!

EVERY MEOWTH FOR ITSELF!

[ROAR]

[ALL SCREAMING]

[ROAR]

[SCREAMING]

THOSE VOICES!

IT'S TEAM ROCKET!

WE GOTTA HELP 'EM!

PIKA.

IT'S ONIX VS. ONIX!

[ROAR]

ROCK POKéMON ARE WEAK AGAINST WATER POKéMON!

STARYU, GO!

HYAH!

SHE'S RIGHT.

AND 2 WATER POKéMON ARE BETTER THAN ONE!

SQUIRTLE,

I CHOOSE YOU!

SQUIRTLE, SQUIRTLE!

ONIX! TACKLE ATTACK!

[ROAR]

IT'S NO USE, THAT ONIX IS WAY TOO BIG!

HELP US, PLEASE!

GET US OUT OF HERE!

WAAAH-AH-HAH!

STARYU, TRY TO WEAKEN THAT ONIX

WITH YOUR WATER GUN ATTACK AND HURRY!

HYAH!

STARYU CAN'T DO IT ALL ALONE.

MAYBE IF YOUR SQUIRTLE HELPS?

RIGHT!

OK, SQUIRTLE, WATER GUN!

SQUIRTLE!

HYAH!

I THINK IT'S WORKING!

SQUIRTLE AND STARYU ARE A GREAT TEAM!

[ROAR]

JESSY, JAMES, NOW'S OUR CHANCE TO RUN FOR IT!

HEY? HUH? HEY?

WE'RE WAY AHEAD OF YOU, MEOWTH!

HUH?

HOLD IT!

WHERE ARE YOU GOING? WAIT FOR MEOWTH!

SQUIRTLE!

All: WAAAH!

I GUESS THAT'S...

THE END OF...

OUR TALE!

Together: LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKET'S BLASTING OFF AGAIN!

[ROAR]

I'VE SEEN A LOT OF ONIX BEFORE,

BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE

NEARLY AS BIG AND POWERFUL AS THIS ONE.

[ROAR]

AHH! AAH! AAH!

[ROAR]

AAAAHHH!

ASH! ASH! PIKA!

PIKA-PI!

AAAH! OOH!

[ROAR]

HUH!

[ROAR]

AAAAH!

PIKA!

PIKACHU! IT'S NO USE!

PIK-A-CHUUUUU!

PIKACHU, ELECTRIC ATTACKS DON'T WORK

AGAINST ROCK POKéMON.

PIKA!

OH, PIKACHU, WATCH OUT! OHH!

[ROAR]

AAAH...

[ROAR]

ARE YOU OK?

HUH?

YOU SAVED US!

PIKA!

LOOK, THEY'RE ALL RIGHT!

MASTER BRUNO!

RECALL YOUR POKéMON.

I'LL HANDLE THIS ONE MYSELF.

WHATEVER YOU SAY.

Ash: SQUIRTLE, RETURN!

Missy: RETURN, STARYU!

Brock: ONIX, RETURN!

[ROAR]

MASTER, ARE YOU GONNA USE

ONE OF YOUR FIGHTING POKéMON NOW?

AND WHAT KIND OF ATTACK ARE YOU GONNA USE?

ARE YOU GONNA SHOW US YOUR SECRET?

I WILL USE NO POKéMON.

Together: HUH?

[ROAR]

HMMM...

HYAH!

ONIX!

[GROWLS]

WHY ARE YOU ACTING THIS WAY?

[ROAR]

LOOK OUT! LOOK OUT! LOOK OUT!

WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING ME?

[ROAR]

UHH!

HAH!

[ROAR]

OHH! THIS LOOKS BAD!

PIKA!

I DON'T KNOW WHY HE'S NOT USING HIS POKéMON!

[ROAR]

HUH? HUH? AAH!

[GROWLS]

WATCH OUT, MASTER BRUNO!

PLEASE BE CAREFUL!

PIKA!

AAH! LOOK AT THAT ONIX!

ONIX, THERE'S NO REASON TO FEAR ME.

ONNNN...

NOW, PLEASE, LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU ARE FEELING.

[GROANING]

ONNN...

AH.

WHAT'S THIS?

[ROAR]

ONIX, THIS WILL ONLY HURT FOR A MOMENT.

[GROANING]

UNHHHH...

Together: HUH?

SLASH, SLASH, SLASH.

SO YOU'RE WHAT WAS TROUBLING ONIX ALL THIS TIME.

OHH! PIKA?

WHAT IS THAT?

Dexter: SANDSLASH, THE MOUSE POKéMON.

THE EVOLVED FORM OF SANDSHREW,

IT ATTACKS OPPONENTS WITH THE QUILLS ON ITS BACK.

HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE.

SLASH, SLASH!

YOU SHOULD BE FINE NOW, ONIX.

[GENTLE ROAR]

HA!

WHAT DO YOU THINK, ONIX?

YOU WANT TO COME ALONG WITH ME?

[AGREEING ROAR]

MMM.

POKéBALL, GO!

YOU'RE MINE, ONIX.

MASTER BRUNO!

SOMEHOW YOU COULD FEEL

THAT THAT SANDSLASH WAS HURTING ONIX.

PLEASE TELL US WHAT YOUR POKéMON SECRET IS.

I ALREADY TOLD YOU, BROCK.

THERE ARE NO SECRETS.

PLEASE TELL US, MASTER BRUNO.

WE CAN KEEP A SECRET.

I'LL ONLY TELL YOU THE SECRET

IF YOU DON'T KEEP IT.

HUH? PIKA?

IF THERE REALLY IS A SECRET TO POKéMON, IT'S ONLY THIS...

HUMANS AND POKéMON MUST LIVE AND WORK

AND SHARE THIS WORLD TOGETHER...

AND THEY MUST CARE FOR EACH OTHER,

JUST LIKE YOU AND PIKACHU.

HUH? PI?

HMM.

[BOTH LAUGH]

HMM.

I LOOK FORWARD TO THE DAY

WHEN WE FACE EACH OTHER IN BATTLE, ASH.

SO DO I!

BE WELL!

HE WAS THE REAL DEAL AFTER ALL.

AND HE KNEW THE SECRET ALL ALONG.

HA HA HA! HA HA HA!

PIKA!

HA HA HA HA!

Narrator: AND SO ASH AND HIS FRIENDS LEARN A VERY SPECIAL SECRET

FROM A VERY SPECIAL TRAINER,

AS THE POKéMON LEAGUE COMPETITION MOVES ONE DAY CLOSER!

[NERVOUS LAUGHTER]

I THINK THINGS ARE LOOKING

SORT OF ROCKY, DON'T YOU?

THESE POKéMON COULDN'T BE BOLDER!

MAYBE PEOPLE TAKE 'EM FOR GRANITE!

CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY THE WB NETWORK AND THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
