[BIRDS TWITTERING]

Ash: PICKACHU, AGILITY ATTACK!

THEN WE'LL USE AN AGILITY ATTACK, TOO.

VULPIX, GO!

Narrator: WITH THE POKéMON LEAGUE COMPETITION DRAWING EVER CLOSER,

ASH IS FINALLLY DOING SOME SERIOUS TRAINING.

BUT HIS TRAINING IS ABOUT TO GET OFF THE TRACK!

PICKACHU, ELECTRIC ATTACK!

PI...CKA...CHU!

VULPIX, FLAMETHROWER!

PICKACHU, HOLD IT!

VULPIX, DEFLECT IT!

HUH?

HUH? WHAT WAS THAT?

Eve: I'M NOT SURE.

WOW, PICKACHU. YOUR ATTACKS ARE GETTIN' PRETTY STRONG.

PIKA.

LOOKS LIKE WE ACCIDENTALLY UNCOVERED SOMETHING.

BUT, WHAT?

YEAH.

HMM...LOOKS LIKE SOME KIND OF TEMPLE OR SOMETHING.

H-E-E-E-Y! LOOK AT THIS.

IT LOOKS SORT OF PRETTY.

YEAH, PRETTY WEIRD.

Ash: WONDER WHAT IT IS?

HUH? HUH? HUH?

[GASP] I FINALLY FOUND IT!

YOU DID?

PROFESSOR! LOOK WHAT I FOUND!

Dunlap: WELL, YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN.

THAT'S GREAT WORK, EVE!

UH, SIR, I'M THE ONE WHO FOUND

WHATEVER IT IS THAT IS.

AND WE WERE HAVING A TRAINING BATTLE--

YES, THANKS A LOT.

COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU.

VERY HELPFUL.

THIS IS THE DISCOVERY WE'VE BEEN HOPING FOR.

I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE WE FOUND IT.

WE FOUND IT.

CONGRATULATIONS. YOUR DISCOVERY PROVES

YOUR HYPOTHESIS BEYOND ANY DOUBT.

I THINK WE SHOULD MOVE THE CAMP HERE

AND BEGIN A MAJOR EXCAVATION OF THE TEMPLE

AND THE SURROUNDING AREA.

HA HA, JUST TAKE A LOOK.

OH, PROFESSOR, YOU'VE ALREADY DONE IT.

OH, HELLO. CAN I HELP YOU?

Jessy: LOOKS LIKE THE TWERPS ARE ON TO SOMETHING.

SOMETHING VALUABLE.

IT COULD BE A VERITABLE VAULT OF VALUABLES.

AND NOW IT'S OUR VAULT.

Ash: YOU KNOW, THIS STATUE LOOKS LIKE A PSYDUCK.

I REMEMBER READING ABOUT A HIDDEN CITY

WHERE THE PEOPLE BUILT TEMPLES TO HONOR POKéMON.

IF THEY BUILT A TEMPLE TO HONOR PSYDUCK,

THEY WEREN'T HIDDEN, THEY WERE LOST!

WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THE CITY?

I THINK IT WAS CALLED POKEMOPOLIS,

AND IT GOT DESTROYED IN A GIANT STORM

AND THEN TOTALLY DISAPPEARED.

RIGHT, BROCK?

THE PEOPLE WHO LIVED THERE BELIEVED POKéMON

WERE SYMBOLS OF NATURE'S POWER.

AT LEAST THAT'S HOW THE LEGEND GOES.

HEY, MAYBE POKéMOPOLIS WAS HERE!

WE MAY HAVE DISCOVERED

THE FIRST POSITIVE PROOF

OF THE REAL POKéMOPOLIS!

IT'S A REAL FIND!

DOCTOR, LOOK HERE!

Eve: THE SAME MATERIAL AS THE OTHER RELIC.

WHERE WAS IT?

RIGHT NEAR THE ORIGINAL ONE.

THE GREAT 2 POWERS OF DESTRUCTION.

THESE RELICS MIGHT BE THE KEY.

TO WHAT?

HOW COME YOU CALLED EVE "DOCTOR"?

SHE'S WAY TOO YOUNG TO BE A REAL DOCTOR.

BY AGE 6, EVE WAS ALREADY AN EXPERT

IN ANCIENT POKéMOPOLITAN CIVILIZATION.

HER RESEARCH REVOLUTIONIZED THE FIELD.

SHE GOT HER PhD AT 8.

SHE MUST BE A SUPER BRAIN!

PIKA!

HA-HA, WHEN SHE WAS 9,

EVE WROTE A BEST-SELLING BOOK

ABOUT HER NEW THEORIES ON POKéMOP--

OK, THAT'S ENOUGH ABOUT ME, PROFESSOR.

YOU'VE GOT WORK TO DO!

YES, DOCTOR!

A DOCTOR. ALREADY.

WHEN I WAS 8,

I WAS STILL AFRAID OF DOCTORS.

PLEASE, IT'S NO BIG DEAL.

AND IT'S NOT LIKE I HAD PERFECT GRADES OR ANYTHING.

I GOT AN A-MINUS ONCE, HEH-HEH.

PI--

WHAT'S THE MATTER, PICKACHU?

PI-PICKACHU.

HERE, LOOK AT THIS STONE TABLET I DISCOVERED.

THAT WRITING, WHAT DOES IT SAY, EVE?

IS IT ABOUT POKéMOPOLIS?

IT SAYS, "BEWARE THE 2 GREAT POWERS OF DESTRUCTION.

"THE SHADOW OF THE DARK DEVICE

"WILL GRAPPLE WITH THE PRISONER OF THE UNEARTHLY URN.

"THE SACRED CITY WILL BE NO MORE

"AS DAY IS SWALLOWED UP BY NIGHT.

"DARKER STILL FOR YOU

"WHEN THEY RETURN TO LAY WASTE THE WORLD.

"BUT NO HUMAN KNOWS THE SECRET

"TO SOOTHE THE POWERS

AND GUIDE THEM BACK TO THE SHADOW WORLD."

OH, I GET IT!

WELL, I DON'T AND I'M TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT.

IT'S ONE OF THE TOUGHEST MYSTERIES I'VE EVER HAD TO SOLVE.

EVE, WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?

LET'S BOTH START DIGGING AND SOLVE THAT MYSTERY.

BROCK MUST LOVE MYSTERIES.

HE LOVES SOMETHING.

I'D SURE LOVE TO HAVE LIVED

IN AN ANCIENT CITY

THAT BUILT TEMPLES POKéMON.

HUH?

BOW DOWN HUMANS AND OBEY!

TO PROTECT THE WORLD FROM DEVESTATION.

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!

SHH! LET'S SWIPE ALL THEIR SWAG AND SCRAM!

LET'S SNEAK INTO THEIR CAMPER AND GRAB THOSE RELICS.

THOSE LITTLE TRINKETS AREN'T WORTH THE EFFORT.

THE REALLY BIG STUFF MUST BE HIDDEN

DEEPER IN THAT TEMPLE, AND I KNOW JUST HOW TO GET IT.

GO, ARBOK!

ARBOK, BURROW INTO THAT TEMPLE

AND BRING BACK THE MOST VALUABLE TREASURE YOU CAN FIND.

HA HA HA! WELL, SOON WE'LL ALL BE FILTHY RICH.

WHAT WASTEFULLY EXTRAVAGANT THINGS

WILL YOU DO WITH YOUR SHARE?

WELL, FIRST, I'LL PAY THE BOSS ALL THE MONEY I OWE HIM.

WHAT?! THAT'S THE MOST RIDICULOUS IDEA I'VE EVER HEARD!

DON'T YOU KNOW WITH ALL THAT MONEY

YOU WON'T HAVE TO DO THE DECENT THING?

IF THE TREASURE'S LARGE ENOUGH,

I CAN MAKE MYSELF THE BOSS!

THE BIG ENCHILADA!

THE TOP TAMALE!

THE KING QUESEDILLA!

IT'S SUCH A SHAME THEY'RE SO POWER HUNGRY.

Jessy: THE GRAND GUACAMOLE!

James: THE NUMBER ONE NACHO!

AH-HA! HERE'S ARBOK!

James: WASN'T THERE ANYTHING GLITZIER?

IT SURE LOOKS MIGHTY MEASLY.

YOU MEAN THAT'S THE MOST VALUABLE TREASURE YOU COULD FIND?

AH! AH! AH!

AHH!

WE'RE NOT MOVING!

I'M CATATONIC.

Brock: EVE, LOOK!

Eve: GIANT FOOTPRINTS!

AND THEY'RE COMING FROM THE TEMPLE!

THIS COULD VERY WELL BE

THE "DARK DEVICE" THAT'S MENTIONED IN THE TABLET.

LET'S ANALYZE IT IN THE CAMPER.

RIGHT!

AH! AH! AH!

TEAM ROCKET?

RUN! HURRY!

I CAN'T MOVE!

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

WHERE ARE WE?

SOMEHOW WE'VE BEEN TRANSPORTED

INSIDE THE "DARK DEVICE".

FASCINATING!

I'D RATHER BE IN MIAMI BEACH.

HEY LOOK! IT'S A GIANT GENGAR!

HOW COULD A GENGAR GET TO BE SO HUMONGOUS?

MISTY'S RIGHT. IT CAN'T BE A GENGAR.

THE LAST GENGAR I SAW WASN'T EVEN AS BIG AS ME.

AND IT DIDN'T HAVE THOSE WEIRD MARKINGS ON IT.

HMM. GENGAR, A SHADOW POKéMON,

THE EVOLVED FORM OF HAUNTER.

DETAILS ABOUT THIS POKéMON ARE UNKNOWN.

DETAILS UNKNOWN?

THIS MUST BE WHAT THE TABLET MEANT.

THE SHADOW OF THE DARK DEVICE.

MAYBE SO,

AND MAYBE WE'RE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE

OF A MYSTERY THAT'S TOO SCARY TO SOLVE!

GENGAR.

HMM. LOOKS LIKE A STORM.

GENGAR'S GOING SOMEWHERE.

IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO HEAD STRAIGHT

FOR THE NEAREST TOWN TO WRECK IT!

I'VE GOTTA STOP IT!

IT'S TOO POWERFUL!

THE NEAREST TOWN'S MY HOMETOWN.

BUT YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO STOP IT.

MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT, BUT I'VE GOTTA DO SOMETHING.

LET'S GO, PIKACHU!

ASH, I'M COMING WITH YOU!

I'LL GO WITH THEM. YOU GO BACK TO THE CAMPER

AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT THIS MYSTERY

BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

WHO'S THAT...

IT'S...

GENGAR.

I CAN HANDLE THIS.

ONIX, GO!

HURRY, ONIX, GO UNDERGROUND AND BLOCK THAT GENGAR.

PIDGEOTTO, I CHOOSE YOU!

PIDGEOTTO! GUST ATTACK!

GENGAR.

OH, NO!

ME-OUCH! IT'S GETTING CROWDED IN HERE.

UGH! HUH?

CAN'T YOU BATTLE BETTER THAN THAT,

YOU BUMBLING BIRD BRAIN?

I'M NOT GETTING STUCK

IN THIS STOMACH FOREVER!

GENGAR.

ONIX! USE YOUR BIND ATTACK!

WHOA!

NO!

I DON'T THINK ANY POKéMON

CAN STOP THAT!

WE GOTTA STOP IT SOMEHOW!

HUH?

EVE! NO!

YOU'LL GET CAUGHT IN THE SPELL JUST LIKE HER.

WE CAN'T LET EVE GET SWALLOWED UP, TOO!

WE'LL THINK OF SOME WAY TO SAVE HER.

LET ME GO!

I'VE GOT TO SAVE EVE!

ARE YOU OK?

WHAT HAPPENED?

I CAN'T REMEMBER A THING.

OH!

ALAKAZAM.

Ash: IS THAT KADABRA?

Brock: NO, THAT'S AN ALAKAZAM.

Misty: DON'T YOU MEAN, ALAKA-LOSSAL?

ALAKAZAM, A PSY-POKéMON.

THIS POKéMON USES PSYCHIC ATTACKS

TO OVERCOME ITS OPPONENTS.

ATTACKS MUST BE 100 TIMES STRONGER

FROM THE SUPER-SIZED ALAKAZAM.

ALAKAZAM!

WHAT ARE THOSE?

I DON'T KNOW, AND I'M NOT SO SURE WE WANNA FIND OUT.

GENGAR.

Eve: BEWARE THE 2 GREAT POWERS OF DESTRUCTION.

THE SHADOW OF THE DARK DEVICE

WILL GRAPPLE WITH THE PRISONER OF THE UNEARTHLY URN.

THE SACRED CITY WILL BE NO MORE

AS DAY IS SWALLOWED UP BY NIGHT.

DARKER STILL FOR YOU

WHEN THEY RETURN TO LAY WASTE THE WORLD.

NOW I UNDERSTAND.

THESE 2 CREATURES DESTROYED THE CITY OF POKéMOPOLIS

AND NOW THEY'RE GOING TO DESTROY US!

Ash: WE GOTTA STOP 'EM!

Misty: HOW CAN WE STOP THEM

IF THE POKéMOPOLITANS COULDN'T?

Eve: I'M SORRY. THIS IS ALL MY FAULT.

I SHOULD NEVER HAVE TRIED TO SOLVE THE MYSTERY OF POKéMOPOLIS.

DON'T BLAME YOURSELF, EVE.

ARCHEOLOGISTS ARE SUPPOSED TO SOLVE MYSTERIES.

HE'S RIGHT. YOU DIDN'T KNOW

THIS WOULD HAPPEN.

YEAH, I SAY IT'S THE ANCIENT POKéMOPOLITANS' FAULT

FOR MAKING THEIR STUPID TABLET SO HARD TO FIGURE OUT.

Misty: YOU'RE GONNA TRY CATCHING THEM?

THEY MAY BE ANCIENT AND SUPERPOWERFUL,

BUT THEY'RE STILL POKéMON TO ME!

GO POKéBALL!

[GASP]

ASH, I WANNA SAVE YOUR HOMETOWN, TOO,

BUT THESE POKéMON ARE WAY TOO POWERFUL

FOR US TO HANDLE.

MAYBE WE BETTER GET HELP!

MY BODY'S FROZEN.

GENGAR.

OH!

PIKACHU ESCAPED THE SPELL.

QUICK! GO JUMP INTO THAT WATER!

USE YOUR THUNDERSHOCK AND HURRY!

[SIGH]

NICE GOING, PIKACHU.

GENGAR.

ALAKAZAM!

WE CAN'T GIVE UP NOW.

BUT, ASH, THE TABLETS SAY NOBODY KNOWS

THE SECRET TO STOPPING THESE CREATURES

FROM DESTROYING EVERYTHING!

EVE'S RIGHT, ASH.

IT'S JIGGLYPUFF!

JIGGLYPUFF.

MAYBE JIGGLYPUFF CAN KNOCK 'EM OUT!

IT COULD BE A HEAVYWEIGHT KNOCKOUT!

Ash: OK, JIGGLYPUFF!

IF THIS WORKS,

YOU'LL BE PALLET TOWN'S FAVORITE VOCALIST.

[SINGING]

THAT'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MUSIC I'VE EVER HEARD.

YEAH, ENCORE! ENCORE!

[SINGING]

HOW COME THEY'RE NOT GETTIN' SLEEPY?

MAYBE JIGGLYPUFF ISN'T LOUD ENOUGH.

I'D LOVE TO TALK MORE

BUT I NEED MY BEAUTY SLEEP.

YEAH. [SIGH]

JIGGLYPUFF'S JUST TOO SMALL.

HUH?

Ash: WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW?

ALAKAZAM.

WH-WHAT'S THAT?

SOME POKéMON!

JIGGLYPUFF?

[SINGING]

AL-A-KA-ZAM...

AH!

THAT'S THE SECRET THAT SOOTHES

THE POWERS OF DESTRUCTION.

I'M FEELIN' KINDA SOOTHED MYSELF.

YEAH, ME, TOO.

ME THREE.

[STOPS SINGING]

WAKE UP!

WHERE'S THAT JIGGLY GIANT?

HEY!

WHAT A NIGHTMARE.

BUT IT'S OVER NOW.

WE SURVIVED!

WELCOME BACK, TEAM ROCKET.

IT'S HIM!

WE LET YOU OFF EASY THIS TIME, TWERP,

BUT NEXT TIME YOU WON'T BE SO LUCKY.

LET'S GO!

TEAM ROCKET'S DASHING OFF AGAIN!

BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO GENGAR AND ALAKAZAM?

RETURNED TO THE SHADOW WORLD AGAIN, I GUESS.

Brock: THIS IS AWESOME!

EVE, MAYBE A GIANT JIGGLYPUFF

WAS THE PROTECTOR OF POKéMOPOLITAN CIVILIZATION.

IF YOU'RE RIGHT, BROCK, THEN IT'S ALSO POSSIBLE

THEN IT'S ALSO POSSIBLE THESE RELICS

WERE ACTUALLY THE FIRST PRIMITIVE POKéBALLS.

WHOA. REALLY?

THAT'LL BE THE NEXT MYSTERY I TRY TO TACKLE.

AND THIS COULD BE THE KEY THAT UNLOCKS

ALL THE SECRETS OF POKéMOPOLIS!

Narrator: AND SO THE JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY IS JUST BEGINNING!

WHO KNOWS WHAT NEW MYSTERY WILL TURN UP?

OF COURSE, WE STILL HAVEN'T SOLVED THE BIGGEST MYSTERY OF ALL.

WILL ASH EVER GET AROUND TO TRAINING?

DON'T GO AWAY!
