Narrator: ASH IS GETTING CLOSER TO ENTERING THE POKéMON LEAGUE.

NOW HE'S READY TO COMPETE FOR HIS SEVENTH BADGE--

THE VOLCANO BADGE.

AS ASH AND HIS FRIENDS SAIL TOWARD CINNABAR ISLAND,

WHO KNOWS WHAT SURPRISES AWAIT THEM?

I CAN'T WAIT TILL WE GET TO CINNABAR.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE BEAUTIFUL.

IT'S GOT AN AWESOME VOLCANO.

BEST OF ALL,

ITS POKéMON RESEARCH LABORATORY

IS ONE OF THE BEST IN THE WORLD.

TRAINERS COME FROM ALL OVER

TO LEARN THE LATEST POKéMON TECHNIQUES.

I'M HEADING STRAIGHT FOR THE CINNABAR GYM...

AND MY NEXT BADGE.

PIKA!

Boy: DON'T WORRY, GIRLS. HUH?

YOU'LL ALL GET A CHANCE TO TAKE A PICTURE WITH ME.

HEY, LOOK!

WHO LET THIS LOSER ON THE BOAT?

GARY?

YOU'RE GOING TO CINNABAR ISLAND?

WHA-HA!

WAITER!

[CLICK]

Man: ALL RIGHT. SAY "CHEESE."

CHEESE! CHEESE! CHEESE!

Ash: GEE, THERE SURE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THIS BOAT,

AND I BET ALL OF THEM ARE POKéMON TRAINERS.

Gary: TRAINERS?

YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE, AS USUAL.

POKéMON TRAINERS HAVEN'T GONE TO CINNABAR ISLAND

SINCE MY GRANDFATHER'S DAYS AS A TRAINER.

THESE PEOPLE ARE ALL TOURISTS.

CINNABAR ISLAND'S A RESORT.

IT'S A RESORT?!

I EARNED SO MANY BADGES ALREADY,

I'M TAKING A BREAK TO WORK ON MY TAN.

Girls: HE'S SO COOL!

A REAL TRAINER NEVER TAKES A BREAK.

SO WHILE YOU'RE TANNING, I'LL BE AT THE GYM WINNING A BADGE.

CINNABAR ISLAND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A POKéMON GYM.

Girls: GARY KNOWS IT ALL!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

IT'S GOTTA HAVE A GYM.

WELL, YOU CAN BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT TO,

BUT YOU'LL SEE FOR YOURSELF.

YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TIME.

MMPH! WE'LL SEE WHO'S WASTING TIME.

[PIQUED] PIKACHU.

HUH? HUH? HUH? HUH?

Ash: MAYBE GARY WAS RIGHT.

Misty: THIS PLACE IS A TOURIST TRAP.

Brock: MIGHT AS WELL LOOK AROUND.

JIGGLYPUFF!

JIGGLY!

NO SIGN OF A POKéMON GYM,

BUT THERE SURE ARE A LOT OF TOURISTS AROUND HERE.

THERE'S SO MANY NICE ISLANDS.

I WONDER WHY THIS ONE BECAME SO POPULAR.

HUH? HUH? HUH?

THE ANSWER IS A RIDDLE.

WHAT DO TOURISTS THINK IS HOT AND COOL?

UH... UH... UH...

I KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT ONE.

IF YOU LIE DOWN IN FRONT OF AN OPEN REFRIGERATOR

AND YOU WRAP YOURSELF IN AN ELECTRIC BLANKET,

YOU'LL BE HOT AND COOL AT THE SAME TIME. RIGHT?

TOTALLY WRONG.

HOT SPRINGS ARE REALLY HOT, AND...

AND TOURISTS THINK THEY'RE COOL.

THAT'S RIGHT.

SEE, KIDS, BECAUSE OF THE VOLCANO,

THERE ARE LOTS OF HOT SPRINGS HERE ON CINNABAR ISLAND.

AND EVERY YEAR,

MORE AND MORE TOURISTS COME TO VISIT THEM.

NOW THEY'VE EVEN TAKEN OVER CINNABAR ISLAND.

TRAINERS DON'T COME ANYMORE.

TOURISTS!

THEY'VE RUINED THE ISLAND!

IS THE POKéMON GYM STILL HERE?

I HAVE TO EARN THAT VOLCANO BADGE.

I HEARD THAT THE GYM LEADER

WAS A GUY NAMED BLAINE.

HIS GYM IS RIGHT WHERE YOU PUT YOUR GLASSES.

UH...GLASSES.

THAT'S A TRICKY ONE.

IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES?

YOU'RE RIGHT AGAIN.

BLAINE'S GYM IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES.

HUH? HUH? HUH?

PIKA?

THAT'S IT?

IT'S A WRECK.

BLAINE GOT TIRED OF BATTLING TOURISTS

WHO CARED MORE ABOUT POSTCARDS AND T-SHIRTS

THAN ABOUT POKéMON.

THAT'S WHEN HE ABANDONED THE GYM.

BUT I'M NOT SOME STUPID TOURIST.

I'M A REAL TRAINER.

I CAME ALL THE WAY OUT TO THIS ISLAND

JUST SO I COULD BATTLE FOR MY VOLCANO BADGE.

I'M AFRAID YOU CAME TO THE WRONG PLACE, MY FRIEND.

HUH?

HERE'S MY CARD...

IF YOU NEED ANYTHING.

HUH?

"THE BIG RIDDLE INN."

AN INN? HOW CAN YOU RUN A HOTEL

AND THEN BLAME TOURISTS FOR RUINING THE ISLAND?

THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME.

HE'S GONE.

HUH? HUH?

Brock: I WONDER HOW HE DISAPPEARED LIKE THAT?

Ash: HE SURE WAS WEIRD.

WELL, EVEN IF IT'S FULL OF TOURISTS,

WE OUGHTA CHECK OUT THAT LAB.

IT CAN'T BE THAT BAD.

OH, YEAH?

HUH? HUH? HUH?

Ash: OH!

IT'S JUST A BUNCH OF SOUVENIR STANDS.

LOOKS LIKE THE POKéMON LAB'S

JUST ANOTHER TOURIST ATTRACTION.

[STOMACH GRUMBLING]

HUH? HUH?

WHOOPS.

GUESS ALL THIS DISAPPOINTMENT'S

MAKING ME HUNGRY.

WE SHOULD CALL IT A DAY.

WHY DON'T WE CHECK OUT THE POKéMON CENTER?

Brock: GOOD IDEA.

Ash: LET'S GO. PIKA!

Jessy: NOT ONE COOKIE SOLD.

OUR SNACK STAND'S A FLOP.

ISN'T THAT JUST OUR LUCK, JAMES?

I'LL SAY IT IS, JESSY.

AND WE'RE RIGHT NEAR THAT LAB,

AND IT'S PACKED WITH POWERFUL POKéMON.

GUESS THAT'S HOW THE COOKIE CRUMBLES.

I'M VERY SORRY.

WE'VE GOT SO MANY VISITORS,

THEY'RE EVEN SLEEPING IN THE LOBBY.

IT'S THE BUSY SEASON.

WE SIMPLY DON'T HAVE ANY ROOM.

I THINK WE WERE THE ONLY ONES

IN THAT WHOLE CENTER

WHO ACTUALLY HAVE POKéMON.

WELL, I GUESS WE CAN ALWAYS CAMP OUT AGAIN IN OUR SLEEPING BAGS.

HEY, LOOK.

I BET WE GET A ROOM THERE.

YOU MUST BE JOKING.

WE HAVEN'T HAD A ROOM IN WEEKS.

Ash: LET'S TRY THIS ONE.

NO ROOMS IN THIS HOTEL.

WE'RE BOOKED UP FOR A YEAR.

TRY COMING BACK LATE NEXT SUMMER

OR MAYBE IN THE FALL.

UH, SORRY. NOTHING HERE.

HAVE YOU TRIED THE HOTEL ACROSS THE STREET?

SORRY. NO VACANCIES.

[COLLECTIVE SIGH]

Ash: OH, I'M SO HUNGRY, I COULD EAT A HORSEA.

I'M TOO TIRED TO EAT.

I JUST WANT A NICE, SOFT BED.

[TIRED SIGH]

[MUSIC PLAYING

I'VE HAD IT.

LET'S JUST FIND A SPOT TO CAMP OUT.

HEY. THAT SMELLS GOOD.

WAIT, ASH. WHERE YOU GOIN'?

PIKA-PI!

WE ALREADY TRIED THIS HOTEL. IT'S FULL.

FORGET IT.

IT'S NOT FAIR.

THEY'RE HAVING A BANQUET IN THERE.

[GRUMBLING]

WHA? GARY?!

I THOUGHT I HEARD SOMETHING OUT HERE.

HEY, LOOK. IT'S THE SUCKER SQUAD.

SO, WHAT HOTEL YOU STAYING AT?

UH, WE'RE CAMPING OUT.

TOO BAD YOU DON'T HAVE A PLACE LIKE THIS.

TAKE A LOOK.

YAY! YAY! YAY!

[ALL GASP]

Gary: SEE ALL THE FOOD THEY GIVE YOU?

AND THAT'S JUST THE APPETIZERS.

[GULP] [GULP] [GULP]

SAY, I'VE GOT AN IDEA.

I'LL GIVE YOU MY LEFTOVERS IN A DOGGY BAG...

IF YOU SPIN AROUND 3 TIMES AND SAY "PIKACHU."

NOT ON YOUR LIFE!

I'D DIE OF HUNGER FIRST!

[GRUMBLING]

PIKA.

HA HA! YOU SHOULD LET YOUR STOMACH DO THE TALKING.

GRRR!

PIKA.

PI--

NO, PIKACHU!

WE'LL NEVER GET SO DESPERATE

THAT WE HAVE TO SINK TO GARY'S LEVEL.

[GRUMBLING]

WAH?

PIKA?

HA HA HA HA!

EVEN YOUR PIKACHU FEELS SORRY FOR YOU, ASH.

I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE SO PATHETIC.

HAVE YOU TRIED A MIRROR?

LET'S GO, ASH.

GREAT. THAT MUST BE THE ENTERTAINMENT.

JIGGLY!

WAAH! AAH! JIGGLYPUFF!

QUICK! RUN! HURRY!

MEEP MEEP MEEP!

PIKA!

TOGEPI!

JIGGLY.

HEH! TOO BAD THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY'RE MISSING.

JIGGLY.

JIGGLYPUFF.

JIGGLYPUFF.

JIGGLYPUFF.

JIGGLY-JIGGLYPUFF.

THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE.

JIGGLYPUFF ALMOST GOT US.

YEAH, BUT AT LEAST THOSE GUYS ARE SLEEPING NOW.

ASH. WHAT ABOUT THAT CARD THAT OLD GUY GAVE YOU?

UH...

MUST BE DIRECTIONS TO HIS HOTEL.

HUH? THAT'S STRANGE.

"IF YOU LOOK NEAR THE SWING,

YOU'LL SEE MY HANDS OR AT LEAST MY FACE."

AW! NOT ANOTHER RIDDLE?

THERE'S A SWING OVER THERE,

BUT I DON'T SEE ANYBODY'S HANDS OR FACE.

Ash: ME, NEITHER.

HMM. "YOU'LL SEE MY HANDS OR AT LEAST MY FACE."

[TICKING]

I'VE GOT IT!

[CHIMING]

HE MEANS A CLOCK.

A CLOCK?

PIKA?

Misty: LOOK UP THERE.

YOU CAN SEE THE HANDS AND FACE OF A CLOCK.

THAT MUST BE THE BIG RIDDLE INN.

ONCE AGAIN, MISTY CAME UP WITH THE CORRECT SOLUTION.

THAT WAS AN EASY ONE.

AS A PRIZE,

I'LL GIVE YOU FREE ROOMS HERE AT THE HOTEL.

YOUR RIDDLES MAY BE DUMB,

BUT YOUR PRIZES ARE TERRIFIC.

I GUESS I'LL TAKE THAT AS A COMPLIMENT, ASH.

[GRUMBLING]

HEH HEH HEH HEH.

HEH HEH. HEH.

HEH HEH.

WELL, GUESS YOU WANT DINNER, TOO.

RIGHT.

WHO'S THAT POKéMON?

IT'S...

MAGMAR!

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...

BLAST OFF AT LIGHT SPEED,

PREPARE TO FIGHT, AND ALL THAT OTHER JUNK.

LET'S ROB THAT POKéMON LAB.

Jessy: BOMBS AWAY!

James: ROGER!

[RING]

[RING] COMING. I'M COMIN'.

THANK YOU FOR CALLING THE BIG RIDDLE INN.

BE OUR GUEST, AND WE'LL KEEP YOU GUESSIN'.

[MUNCHING]

AREN'T YOU HUNGRY, MISTY?

I JUST WANNA GO TO BED.

Wiggy: THAT'S AWFUL!

IS SOMETHING WRONG?

THE POKéMON LAB IS BEING ATTACKED BY A BALLOON.

OHH!

JUST A HEAVE AND A HO...

AND UP ALL THE POKéMON GO!

HA HA HA HA!

Jessy: THIS SURE BEATS SELLING COOKIES.

THEY'RE FLOATING AWAY!

I'M ABOUT TO BURST THEIR BUBBLE!

PIDGEOTTO, GO!

[RAWWK]

PIKACHU, YOU AND PIDGEOTTO GO BRING BACK ALL THOSE POKéMON!

PIKA!

HEAVE AND HO, AND AWAY WE GO!

[SCREECH]

OH, NO! IT CAN'T BE!

YES, IT CAN!

PI-KA-CHU!

AAH! AAH! AAH!

All: LOOKS LIKE WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!

[CHEERING]

THANKS FOR SAVING THE POKéMON, ASH.

YOU DESERVE A BIG REWARD,

SO I'LL LET YOU IN ON A LITTLE SECRET.

BLAINE BUILT A GYM THE TOURISTS NEVER SEE.

HUH? HE DID?

MM-HMM. IT'S IN THE PLACE WHERE FIREFIGHTERS COULD NEVER WIN.

ANOTHER RIDDLE?

WHAT KIND OF REWARD'S THAT?

I CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT.

IT'S WHERE A FIREFIGHTER COULD NEVER WIN.

WHERE COULD THAT BE?

WHERE COULD A FIREFIGHTER NEVER WIN?

HMM. MAYBE SOMEPLACE THAT DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH WATER.

HUH?

TOGEPI?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, TOGEPI?

TOGEPI, MOVE AWAY! THAT WATER'S BOILING!

HEY!

TOOKI TOOKI TOOKI!

TOOKI TOOKI TOOK--

HUH?

BBBRRREEE!

HUH?

HUH?

AAH! AAH! AAH!

PHEW! IS IT JUST ME OR DOES IT SEEM TO BE GETTING HOT DOWN HERE?

OH, IT'S GETTING HOT, ALL RIGHT.

IT'S A DOOR.

OWW! OW! OW! IT'S BURNING HOT!

[CREAKING]

Ash: BLAINE'S GYM.

Brock: NO FIREFIGHTER COULD WIN IN THIS PLACE.

THERE'S SURE NOT ENOUGH WATER TO PUT OUT A VOLCANO.

HUH? HUH?

I GUESS YOU'VE SOLVED MY RIDDLE.

PIKA?

Ash: HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

IT'S NOT A HAT, BUT IT KEEPS YOUR HEAD DRY.

IF YOU WEAR IT, IT'S ONLY BECAUSE YOU ALREADY LOST IT.

UH, AN UMBRELLA?

AN UMBRELLA KEEPS YOUR HEAD DRY,

BUT YOU DON'T WEAR IT BECAUSE YOU LOST IT.

YEAH, I GUESS NOT.

IT'S A WIG!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

A WIG ISN'T A HAT,

BUT IT KEEPS YOUR HEAD DRY IN THE RAIN.

AND THE ONLY REASON YOU WEAR A WIG

IS IF YOU ALREADY LOST YOUR HAIR.

AND MISTY'S DONE IT AGAIN!

WIG IS CORRECT!

All: IT'S A WIG!

YOU GET IT? I WEAR A WIG

BECAUSE I'M REALLY BLAINE THE GYM MASTER!

OH, YEAH. WHY DIDN'T WE THINK OF THAT?

THAT WIG SURE FOOLED ME.

I SHOULD HAVE GUESSED IT.

NOW WHO WANTS TO BATTLE ME 3 ON 3?

I WILL!

CAREFUL. HE MUST RAISE SOME AWESOME FIRE POKéMON

IN THIS VOLCANO.

USE YOUR WATER POKéMON, ASH.

I KNOW THAT.

READY TO BEGIN?

READY WHEN YOU ARE.

FINE. I'VE ALREADY SELECTED MY FIRST POKEéMON.

NINETAILS, GO!

Dexter: NINETAILS THE FOX POKéMON

IS THE EVOLVED FORM OF THE FIRE POKéMON VULPIX.

I KNEW HE'D CHOOSE A FIRE TYPE.

BIG MISTAKE.

GO, SQUIRTLE!

A WATER TYPE. HOW PREDICTABLE.

GO, NINETAILS! FIRE SPIN NOW!

FIRE SPIN IS NINETAILS' MOST POWERFUL ATTACK.

SQUIRTLE, WATER GUN NOW!

SQUIRTLE! BLUB BLUB BLUB!

SQUIRTLE!

PIKA-PIKA!

AW! SQUIRTLE!

PLEASE, SQUIRTLE, YOU CAN'T GIVE UP YET!

SQUIRTLE...

CHOOSING A POKéMON IS MORE THAN SELECTING THE RIGHT TYPE.

IT TAKES WISDOM TO WIN A GYM BATTLE.

THEN I'LL FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE.

I'M COUNTING ON YOU, SO GIVE IT YOUR BEST SHOT.

CHARIZARD, I CHOOSE YOU!

GRRR!

SO, YOU'VE CHOSEN A CHARIZARD.

RETURN, NINETAILS.

NOW I'LL TEACH THAT KID A LESSON!

GO, RHYDON!

RHYDON, THE EVOLVED FORM OF RHYHORN.

IT IS KNOWN AS THE DRILL POKéMON.

ITS LARGE HORNS GIVES IT FORMIDABLE ATTACK POWER.

[YAWNING] PLEASE, I'M BEGGIN' YA, CHARIZARD.

PLEASE BATTLE!

THAT'S EMBARRASSING.

PIKA.

THIS POOR KID IS IN WAY OVER HIS HEAD.

RHYDON, HORN DRILL!

AW, GIMME A BREAK, CHARIZARD!

CHARIZARD HAS LEFT THE RING. RHYDON'S THE WINNER!

OH, NO, ASH.

IT'S ALL UP TO YOU NOW, PIKACHU.

PIKA!

YOUR LITTLE PIKACHU DOESN'T STAND A CHANCE AGAINST MY RHYDON.

FORGET ITS SIZE. PIKACHU PACKS POWER!

PIKA!

RHYDON, FURY ATTACK!

HEY, PRETTY IMPRESSIVE.

PIKACHU, THUNDERBOLT NOW!

PIKACHU!

HA! ELECTRIC ATTACKS WON'T WORK, BOY!

PIKACHU, THE HORN!

PIKA...CHU!

PI-KA-CHU!

OH, NO!

IT WORKED!

SMART MOVE.

RHYDON'S HORN ACTS JUST LIKE A LIGHTNING ROD.

I'M SURE RHYDON GOT A CHARGE OUT OF THAT.

RHYDON, RETURN!

HEY.

I'LL HAVE TO CHOOSE A DIFFERENT POKéMON.

PIKACHU CAN HANDLE ANYTHING!

THIS POKéMON IS TOO HOT TO HANDLE,

AND IT HAS A POWER THAT SHOULD INTEREST YOU

BECAUSE IT TURNS ALL ITS OPPONENTS INTO ASH.

NO FAIR! IT'S TOO HOT TO SOLVE RIDDLES!

I CHOOSE...MAGMAR!

PIKA!

MAGMAR?

MAGMAR.

WHAT IS THAT?

MAGMAR, THE SPITFIRE POKéMON.

ITS BODY IS LIKE A FURNACE,

MAKING MAGMAR A LIVING INFERNO.

IT HAS BEEN DISCOVERED ONLY NEAR ACTIVE VOLCANOES.

MAGMAR. MAGMAR.

PIKA-PIKA.

MAGMAR, FIRE PUNCH NOW!

PIKA-PI!

YOU'RE TOO QUICK FOR IT, PIKACHU.

PI! PI!

YOU CAN DO IT, PIKACHU!

PIKACHU!

MAAAGMAR!

MAGMAR'S USING AN AIR LENS!

WHAT'S AN AIR LENS?

WELL, MAGMAR HEATS THE AIR AROUND IT

TO A SUPER HIGH TEMPERATURE,

AND THAT REFRACTS ELECTRIC ATTACKS.

OH, NO!

MAGMAR! MAGMAR!

PIKA!

PIKACHU!

THIS LOOKS BAD.

MAGMAR, FIRE BLAST!

ASH, FIRE BLAST IS THE MOST POWERFUL ATTACK A FIRE POKéMON HAS.

YOU BETTER GIVE UP, ASH, OR PIKACHU'S TOAST.

NO! WE CAN'T GIVE UP NOW!

WE GOTTA THINK OF SOMETHING.

MAGMAR, GO!

MAAAG-MAR!

Ash: PIKACHU!

Narrator: AND SO, IT'S PIKACHU VERSUS THE VOLCANO.

WILL LITTLE PIKACHU BE TURNED INTO THE WORLD'S CUTEST LAVA LAMP?

FIND OUT IN OUR NEXT FIERY EPISODE!

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

DON'T GO AWAY. PIKACHU'S JUKEBOX IS NEXT.
