Narrator: AFTER DEFEATING HIS FIRST 4 OPPONENTS

AT THE POKéMON LEAGUE COMPETITION,

ASH FACED HIS NEWFOUND FRIEND RICHIE IN THE FIERCE FIFTH ROUND.

GO, HAPPY!

[COOING]

SQUIRTLE!

I CHOOSE YOU!

SQUIRTLE!

SQUIRT! SQUIRT! [COOING]

Narrator: WHEN BOTH TRAINERS FOUND THEMSELVES WITH JUST ONE POKéMON EACH,

ASH DECIDED TO TAKE A CHANCE ON CHARIZARD.

[ROAR]

UHH! UHH!

PIKA. PIKA!

PIKA.

CHARIZARD, YOU CAN'T JUST QUIT

IN THE MIDDLE OF MY MOST IMPORTANT MATCH EVER!

[YAWN]

CHARIZARD REFUSES TO BATTLE. PIKACHU IS THE WINNER!

[BEEP]

THE WINNER OF THE MATCH IS THE RED TRAINER RICHIE!

CHARIZARD, RETURN. [MOANS]

Ash's voice: WHY DID I HAVE TO LOSE?

PIKA PI.

SO HE'S JUST BEEN LYING IN THERE BY HIMSELF SINCE HE LOST THE MATCH?

YEAH, HE WON'T EVEN EAT OR ANYTHING.

MAYBE HE'S COMING DOWN WITH A COLD.

NO. HE'S JUST DEPRESSED.

DEPRESSED ABOUT WHAT?

ABOUT THE MATCH?

MMM. I THINK THAT HE FEELS LIKE A TOTAL LOSER

'CAUSE RICHIE BEAT HIM.

HE SHOULD BE HAPPY HE MADE IT ALL THE WAY TO THE FIFTH ROUND.

I KNOW HE FEELS BAD, BUT HE CAN'T JUST MOPE AROUND FOREVER.

[DOOR OPENS]

HEY, ASH, LET'S GO GET SOMETHING TO EAT.

NO, THANKS.

MMM...WELL, HOW ABOUT A WALK?

GO BY YOURSELF.

[GROWLS ANGRILY]

HEY, LET'S GO DOWN TO THE POKéMON VILLAGE

AND BUY SOME SOUVENIRS.

MAYBE THEY'LL HAVE SOME--

LEAVE ME ALONE!

HEY! I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP YOU, ASH.

WELL, I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP.

YOU BIG BABY!

JUST GET OUT!

PIKA! PIKA!

ALL RIGHT, NOW. THAT'S ENOUGH.

YOU MUSTN'T BE ANGRY WITH MISTY, DEAR,

SHE THINKS YOU SHOULD BE VERY HAPPY.

WHY?

WITH THE WAY YOU WERE TRAINING,

YOU'RE LUCKY WE EVEN MADE IT THROUGH THE FIRST ROUND.

OH, YEAH? WELL, I DIDN'T SEE YOU OUT THERE WINNING ANY OF THOSE MATCHES!

WHEN ARE YOU GONNA GET OVER YOURSELF, ASH?!

WHY DON'T YOU?!

WHY DON'T I WHAT?!

PIKA.

OK, THAT'S IT.

I'M AFRAID MISTY HAS A POINT, ASH.

HUH?

MAYBE YOU COULD HAVE GONE MUCH FURTHER

IF YOU HADN'T BEEN SO SURE OF YOURSELF

AND YOU'D TRAINED YOUR CHARIZARD PROPERLY.

BUT I-

ONE CAN ONLY ADVANCE SO FAR

RELYING ON STRENGTH AND INTUITION.

TRAINERS MUST LEARN TO BATTLE WITH A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING

OF EACH POKéMON'S NATURAL ABILITIES.

UH, MMM.

THAT ISN'T EASY...

ESPECIALLY FOR SOME LAZY TRAINERS.

ARE YOU CALLING ME LAZY?!

I DIDN'T CALL ANYBODY ANYTHING.

I WAS TALKING TO PIKACHU.

YOU CALLED ME LAZY.

I SAID I DIDN'T, AND I DIDN'T!

I SAID YOU DID, BECAUSE YOU DID!

I DIDN'T!

YOU DID!

DID NOT! DID TOO!

DID NOT! YOU DID TOO!

PIKA, PIKA!

AAH! AAH! AAH!

DON'T ZAP US, TOO!

HUH?

AHH. AHH. AHH.

TV announcer: WELCOME TO OUR SIXTH ROUND COVERAGE

[DOOR OPENS]

HUH?

HI, RICHIE. READY TO WIN?

HEY. WHAT ARE YOU DOIN' HERE?

WE JUST WANTED TO WISH YOU GOOD LUCK IN THE MATCH TODAY.

GREAT. THANKS, GUYS.

AND REMEMBER, YOU GET TO USE 6 POKéMON IN THIS MATCH, RICHIE.

PICK YOUR BEST.

RIGHT.

AND MAKE SURE YOU DON'T CHOKE LIKE ASH DID.

WELL, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT IT THAT WAY.

HEH HEH HEH HEH.

RICHIE, I KNOW YOU'LL WIN.

YOU'RE AN AWESOME POKéMON TRAINER.

I'LL TRY TO WIN THIS FOR BOTH OF US.

GOOD LUCK.

THANKS.

PIKA. PIKACHU!

PI--UHH!

IVY, IVY, I, I! PI!

UHH. PIKA.

SPARKY!

PI--PI--PIKA--

YOU CAN DO IT!

PIKA, PIKA, PIKA...PIKA.

SPARKY!

PIKACHU IS UNABLE TO BATTLE.

THE MATCH IS OVER! ASSUNTA IS THE WINNER!

[CHIMES]

[CHEERING]

Announcer: A SPECTACULAR FINISH TO A SPECTACULAR MATCH.

IVYSAUR'S SOLAR BEAM JUST OVERPOWERED PIKACHU

AND ASSUNTA IS VICTORIOUS.

OH, SPARKY! ARE YOU OK, SPARK?

PIKA.

AW, HEY, PAL.

I'M SO PROUD OF YOU, IVYSAUR,

THE WAY YOU KEPT ON BATTLING OUT THERE.

YOU NEVER LET ME DOWN, DO YA?

NO. I CAN'T BELIEVE HE LOST, TOO.

AWW. OHH.

PIKA.

[BIRDS CHIRPINGÑ

YOU'RE FEELING BETTER, AREN'T YA?

PIKA.

HUH?

HEY, ASH.

RICHIE, I'M SO--

WELL, ASH, NOW WE HAVE ONE MORE THING IN COMMON.

COMMON? OH, YEAH.

PIKACHU.

PIKACHU.

PIKA?

PIKA!

PIKA! PIKA! PIKA! PIKACHU!

WE CAN LEARN A LOT FROM LOSING.

HUH? HMM.

HEH HEH HEH. HMM.

PIKA!

PI, PI, PIKA?

PIKACHU!

HMM. IT'S UPSET TIME.

WE STRUCK OUT SO FAR,

BUT NOW'S OUR CHANCE TO SINK A TOUCHDOWN.

THAT'S RIGHT. WITH THOSE PIKACHU...

THE FINAL SCORE WILL BE TEAM ROCKET 2,

TWERPS NOTHING!

THIS TIME WE'RE PLAYING FOR KEEPS.

HA HA HA! HA HA HA!

PIKACHU!

PIKA!

Richie: I WAS SO SURE I COULD WIN.

TOO SURE, I GUESS.

IF I KNEW HOW TOUGH THE POKéMON LEAGUE WAS GONNA BE,

I WOULD HAVE TRAINED TWICE AS HARD AS I DID.

HEY, LOSING REALLY ISN'T SO BAD.

HUH?

NOW I KNOW WHAT MISTAKES NOT TO MAKE NEXT TIME,

AND I'M A BETTER TRAINER BECAUSE OF THAT.

Ash's voice: RICHIE DOESN'T FEEL SORRY FOR HIMSELF 'CAUSE HE LOST.

HE JUST WANTS TO DO BETTER.

I'VE BEEN ACTING LIKE A BIG BABY.

HEY, ASH.

HUH?

LET'S MAKE A PROMISE...

TO BECOME POKéMON MASTERS NO MATTER WHAT.

OK. PROMISE.

POKéMON MASTERS NO MATTER WHAT.

POKéMON MASTERS! THAT'S US!

PI? PI?

PIKA! PIKA!

PIKACHU!

SPARKY!

UH, UHH, AH! UH, UHH, AH!

AAH! AAH!

[MOANING]

WHO'S THAT POKéMON?

IT'S FEAROW!

[CAWING]

AH, THAT DIDN'T TICKLE.

[MOANING]

HOW'D THIS HOLE GET HERE?

SOMEBODY MUST HAVE DUG IT.

[LAUGHING]

HUH? HUH?

PREPARE FOR TROUBLE.

MAKE IT DOUBLE.

TO PROTECT THE WORLD FROM DEVASTATION.

TO UNITE ALL PEOPLES WITHIN OUR NATION.

TO DENOUNCE THE EVILS OF TRUTH AND LOVE.

TO EXTEND OUR REACH TO THE STARS ABOVE.

JESSE.

JAMES.

TEAM ROCKET BLAST OFF AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT.

SURRENDER NOW OR PREPARE TO FIGHT.

MEOWTH, THAT'S RIGHT.

Both: NOT THEM AGAIN!

WELL, THE 2 TWERPS FELL FOR IT.

WE TRIED A LOT OF TRICKY TRAPS,

BUT THIS ONE'S A WHOLE LOT BETTER.

THE PIT IS IT.

THOSE CRAZY CONTRAPTIONS

CAN'T CREATE THE KIND OF CLASSIC CATASTROPHE

ONE CAN CAUSE BY CLEVERLY CONCEALING A CALAMITOUS CRATER.

AND IT'S SUCH A GOOD FEELING

TO FINALLY HAVE THOSE POKéMON PIPSQUEAKS LOOK UP TO US.

YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH--

AAH!

AAH!

ARE YOU OK?

AAH! AAH!

[LAUGHING]

AND JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU COULDN'T GO ANY LOWER,

WE THOUGHT YOU MIGHT TRY TO CLIMB OUT,

SO WE DECIDED TO DESIGN A SPLIT-LEVEL PIT.

NOW LET'S GRAB THOSE PIKACHU.

AYE. AYE.

UHH!

Both: PI, PIKA, PIKA...

CHU!

PI, PI?

AHA! YOUR ATTACKS WON'T WORK THIS TIME

BECAUSE WE MADE SURE THAT CAGE WAS 100% PIKA PROOF.

IT'S MADE OF A MATERIAL THAT ABSORBS AND CONSERVES ELECTRICITY.

YEAH, WE DECIDED TO BE FRIENDLY,

BUT ONLY TO THE ENVIRONMENT.

SHOCK TROOPS, FORWARD MARCH.

Both: AYE, AYE, MA'AM.

Ash: COMPANY, HALT!

HUH? HUH? HUH?

[CAWING]

HUH? UHH! HUH?

BULBASAUR, I CHOOSE YOU!

BULBASAUR, USE YOUR VINE WHIP TO GRAB THAT CAGE!

BUL! BUL!

NICE TRY, BUT I'M TOO CAGEY.

WEEZING, SMOG ATTACK!

WEEZING, WEEZ!

UHH! PIDGEOTTO, GUST ATTACK!

[CAWING]

UHH! UHH! UHH!

RIGHT. OK, ZIPPO, WE NEED YOU!

CHAR, CHAR!

RAZOR LEAF ATTACK!

[COUGHING]

PIKA!

OK, ZIPPO, FLAME THROWER!

CHA-CHAR!

AAH! AAH! AAH!

AAH! AAH! AAH!

PIKACHU, SPARKY, RE-CHARGE THE CAGE WITH YOUR THUNDERSHOCK!

PIKACHU! PIKACHU!

GO, SQUIRTLE! WATER GUN ATTACK!

SQUIRTLE!

WELL, THAT'S A RELIEF.

UHH. HEY, THE CAGE IS GONE!

Ash: HERE, GUYS!

HUH? HUH? HUH?

YOU CAN HAVE IT.

PIKA!

HUH? HUH? HUH?

AAH! AAH! AAH!

All: WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!

[LAUGHING]

YOU REALLY SAVED US, ASH.

NO WAY. WE DID IT TOGETHER.

Misty: HEY, ASH!

AND THEN HEAD OVER TO THE CLOSING CEREMONIES.

OH, YEAH. THE TRAINERS GET TO MARCH INTO THE STADIUM,
