[SINGING SOFTLY]

HUH?

JIGGLY, JIGGLYPUFF.

OW. JIGGLYPUFF. HUH? HUH?

[CRASH]

JIGGLYPUFF.

JIGGLY?

JIGGLYPUFF.

JIGGLY.

All: CLEFAIRY.

Narrator: ASH IS ON HIS WAY TO VIRIDIAN CITY

TO COMPETE FOR HIS EIGHTH AND FINAL BADGE,

BUT EVEN THE MOST DETERMINED POKéMON TRAINER CAN'T RESIST AN ICE CREAM BREAK.

I'M SO GLAD WE STOPPED FOR ICE CREAM.

IT LOOKS LIKE PIKACHU FEELS THE SAME WAY YOU DO.

PIKA, PIKA, PIKA.

HERE'S SOME FOR YOU, TOGEPI.

DO YOU LIKE IT?

Ash: MMM. YOU BET. I LOVE IT!

LET'S GET MORE.

[SLURPING]

UGH.

HUH?

CLEFAIRY.

CLEFAIRY?

FAIRY!

I CAN'T BELIEVE A CLEFAIRY WOULD JUST WALK RIGHT UP TO US LIKE THIS.

OH, ISN'T IT CUTE?

HEY, MAYBE I CAN CAPTURE IT WITH THIS ICE CREAM AS BAIT.

FAIRY?

HUH? WAIT, CLEFAIRY.

CLEFAIRY, CLEFAIRY.

I CAN'T LET THIS ONE GET AWAY.

MISTY, WAIT UP.

AW, COME ON, PIKACHU.

PIKA...

Brock: YOU, TOO, TOGEPI.

I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT CLEFAIRY GOT AWAY FROM ME.

THEY MAY BE SMALL, BUT THEY'RE TRICKY.

MAYBE IT ONLY LIKES CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM.

PIKACHU.

HUH?

WHAT'S THE MATTER, BROCK?

I LEFT MY BACKPACK HERE AND IT'S GONE.

HUH? HEY, MINE'S GONE, TOO.

YEAH, SO IS MINE.

HEY, AND THE ICE CREAM DISAPPEARED, TOO!

[CRYING] I NEVER GOT TO TASTE THE CHOCOLATE.

WE CAN ALWAYS GET MORE CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM, ASH,

BUT WHAT ABOUT OUR BACKPACKS?

CAN WE GET PEACH?

WE BETTER REPORT THIS TO OFFICER JENNY.

I TURNED MY BACK FOR A SECOND AND MY POT DISAPPEARED.

AND MY CHICKEN, TOO.

MY BABY'S FAVORITE BOTTLE WAS STOLEN.

THERE, THERE, PUMPKIN.

[CRYING] MY LUCKY BAT IS GONE, AND NOW I'LL NEVER HIT ANOTHER HOME RUN.

NOW, PEOPLE, WE'VE ALL GOT TO KEEP OUR COOL HERE.

Man: THE BUTTONS ON MY COAT ARE GONE!

Lady: SOMEONE STOLE THE CANDLES OFF MY BIRTHDAY CAKE.

Girl: WHAT ABOUT MY BIKE HORN?

Jenny: PLEASE. ONE AT AT TIME, FOLKS.

I WONDER WHY IT'S SO CROWDED.

MAYBE THEY WERE ALL ROBBED, TOO.

MAYBE IT'S SOME KIND OF CRIME WAVE.

PIKA, PIKA...

THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I MEAN WHO'D WANT TO STEAL SOMEBODY'S BIKE HORN,

OR THE BUTTONS FROM A COAT,

OR THE CANDLES OFF A BIRTHDAY CAKE?

Oswald: ALIENS!

All: HUH?

EXCUSE ME, BUT WHO ARE YOU?

SOMEONE WHO UNCOVERS THE TRUTH.

BECAUSE THE POWERS THAT BE DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW

ABOUT EARTH'S VISITORS FROM OUTER SPACE.

FOR THE TRUTH LOOK TO THE SKIES

AND TO ME: OSWALD.

HOW DO THESE GUYS FIND US?

PIKA.

YOU LOSE SOMETHING, TOO?

YES, OFFICER JENNY.

Oswald: LISTEN TO ME.

ALL THESE STRANGE ROBBERIES POINT DIRECTLY

TO VISITORS FROM ANOTHER PLANET.

All: YOU MEAN ALIENS?

THAT'S RIGHT. EXTRA-TERRESTRIALS.

THAT'S SILLY. EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT UFOs DON'T REALLY EXIST.

BUT I HAVE POSITIVE EVIDENCE.

HERE. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.

WOW.

YOU SEE?

THAT SCRAPBOOK IS FULL OF PHOTOS, EYEWITNESS INTERVIEWS,

AND LOTS OF OTHER CONCLUSIVE PROOF.

Cook: HEY, I'VE SEEN THIS THING SOMEPLACE.

WELL, OUT WITH IT, MAN!

WHEN DID YOU SIGHT THE SPACECRAFT?

AT WHAT RATE OF SPEED WAS IT MOVING?

WELL, I, UH...

DID THEY BEAM YOU ABOARD? TELL ME! TELL ME!

3 NIGHTS AGO...

JUST OUTSIDE OF TOWN...

NEAR THE EDGE OF THE FOREST.

DID YOU SEE THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIALS?

TELL ME! I'VE GOT TO KNOW!

SORRY. I GOT CARRIED AWAY.

COME TO THINK OF IT, THE REPORTS OF STOLEN OBJECTS STARTED 3 NIGHTS AGO.

All: WHAT?

YOU MEAN THE SPACE ALIENS MIGHT BE FOR REAL?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE HAVE TO BE PART

OF THIS STUPID SPACEMAN SEARCH PARTY.

IT BEATS WAITING AROUND THAT POLICE STATION DOING NOTHING.

AND BESIDES, WE NEED TO FIND OUR BACKPACKS.

AT LEAST WE'LL GET SOME EXCERCISE.

AND WE MIGHT GET TO MEET

SOME REAL LIVE ALIENS FROM OUTER SPACE.

COME ON, ASH.

YOU DON'T REALLY BELIEVE OSWALD'S GONNA FIND ANY FLYING SAUCERS

WITH THAT GOOFY GADGET, DO YA?

[GADGET RINGS]

Oswald: BINGO.

WE'RE CLOSING IN ON THEM.

All: WOW.

BUT I DON'T SEE ANY ALIENS

OR FLYING SAUCERS ANYWHERE.

All: WOW.

NOMEKOP, NOMEKOP.

WHOA, THOSE ARE REALLY ALIENS!

Aliens: NOMEKOP, NOMEKOP.

NOMEKOP, NOMEKOP.

NOMEKOP, NOMEKOP.

WAIT! COME BACK!

YEAH, AND BRING BACK MY PIKACHU!

PIKACHU, PIKACHU.

[LAUGHTER]

AHH. OUR SCHEME TO KIDNAP PIKACHU WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD.

IT PUTS A WHOLE NEW TWIST ON ALIEN ABDUCTION.

AND HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR PRIVATE PIKACHU SPACE CAPSULE?

CHU!

[JESSY LAUGHS]

IT'S MADE OF GLASS SO IT WON'T CONDUCT ELECTRICITY.

SO TRY ALL THE SHOCK ATTACKS YOU WANT.

HEY, JESS. IT'S A LIGHT BULB-ASAUR.

HA HA HA HA! HA HA HA HA!

[LAUGHS]

THEY FELL FOR IT HOOK, LINE, AND SAUCER.

HEY, THAT'S A CRANE.

AND IT'S PULLING UP THE SPACE SHIP.

THE FLYING SAUCER IS A FAKE.

PIDGEOTTO, CUT THE CRANE CABLE!

WHOA! WHOA!

WE'RE FLOATING.

BUT WE'RE FLOATING BACK TO EARTH!

LOOK AT THE STARS.

MAYBE MEOWTH GOT US INTO ORBIT AFTER ALL.

LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKET FIZZLED OUT.

YOU MEAN THEY'RE NOT ALIENS?

Jessy: HUH.

Jessy: 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.

JESSY! JAMES!

TEAM ROCKET BLAST OFF AT THE HYPERSPACE SPEED OF LIGHT.

SURRENDER NOW, EARTHLINGS, OR PREPARE TO FIGHT.

CLEFAIRY.

WHOA!

[GADGET RINGS]

OH...

THIS IS AMAZING.

ACCORDING TO MY SCANNER, CLEFAIRY IS AN ALIEN.

All: WHAT?

JIGGLYPUFF.

All: JIGGLYPUFF! [GADGET RINGS]

AH.

CAN IT BE?

AMAZING. THIS JIGGLYPUFF IS ALSO AN ALIEN.

THAT SCANNER IS EVEN SPACIER THAN YOU ARE.

OH?

IT'S INDICATING THAT YOU'RE ALSO AN ALIEN.

HUH? IF ANYBODY'S AN ALIEN, IT'S YOU!

OH! YOU BROKE MY SCANNER.

[CRYS] IT TOOK ME WEEKS TO ASSEMBLE THAT SCANNER.

WHAT WILL I DO IF I CAN'T FIND THE COMIC BOOK I ORDERED IT FROM?

I HATE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO BE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION.

ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY TAKE EVERYBODY'S ATTENTION AWAY FROM US.

DON'T JUST STAND THERE.

WHILE HE'S GOING BALLISTIC, WE CAN GRAB PIKACHU.

CLEFAIRY, CLEFAIRY.

Both: HEY, WE'RE THE THIEVES!

CLEFAIRY.

WE'VE LOST OUR WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY.

AGH!

CLEFAIRY.

JIGGLY.

COME BACK WITH MY PIKACHU!

COME BACK HERE!

THIS IS A DEAD END.

WHERE COULD IT HAVE GONE?

MAYBE WITH ALIENS?

JIGGLYPUFF!

IT'S PRETTY DEEP.

I CAN'T EVEN SEE THE BOTTOM.

WE CAN'T GO DOWN THERE.

I'VE GOT TO FIND PIKACHU.

JIGGLYPUFF.

HEY! WAIT FOR ME!

WHOA!

HERE GOES.

All: AAH!

Kids: WHO'S THAT POKéMON?

Kids: IT'S ARCANINE.

[RUFF]

All: AAH!

All: AAH!

PIKACHU'S GONE. LET'S GO.

VERY FUNNY.

GUYS, LOOK AT THIS.

THAT'S THE SPACESHIP!

THE CLEFAIRY MUST BE BUILDING IT THEMSELVES.

THEY'LL BE BLASTING OFF VERY SOON.

All: BLASTING OFF?

CLEFAIRY, CLEFAIRY.

HEY, LOOK.

THE CLEFAIRY MUST BE THE ONES

WHO'RE STEALING STUFF TO USE AS PARTS FOR THEIR ROCKET.

ASH, LOOK. OVER THERE.

PIKACHU.

WHY'D THEY STEAL PIKACHU?

THE CLEFAIRY MUST BE PLANNING TO USE ITS ELECTRIC ATTACK ENERGY

TO LAUNCH THEIR SPACECRAFT.

WELL, THEY'RE NOT TAKING MY PIKACHU INTO SPACE.

THEY SPOTTED US!

NO, THAT'S THE SIGNAL TO BEGIN THE COUNTDOWN TO BLAST-OFF.

JIGGLYPUFF!

I HAVE TO SAVE PIKACHU!

ASH! I'M COMING WITH YOU! WAIT!

OSWALD, I'LL GO AND TELL OFFICER JENNY.

WH-WHA-WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?

WAIT! I KNOW JUST WHAT TO DO.

THEY'RE GOING INTO SPACE, AND I'M GOING WITH THEM.

UNIVERSE, HERE I COME!

THIS IS LIKE BEING AT CAPE CANASTA.

JAMES, ARE YOU THINKING WHAT I'M THINKING?

I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT WERE YOU THINKING THAT I WAS THINKING?

WHAT IF WE BROUGHT THE BOSS BACK PIKACHU

PLUS AN ENTIRE SPACESHIP FULL OF CLEFAIRY?

THAT'S AMAZING!

YOU MUST'VE READ MY MIND, JESS.

OR DID I READ YOURS?

GEE, THAT'S A HARD ONE.

LET'S START STEALIN' BEFORE THEY BLAST OFF!

Oswald: OHH! THESE CONTROLS ARE FANTASTIC.

THE ENGINEERING IS SIMPLY SUPERB.

Ash: BUT I WONDER IF IT'LL REALLY FLY.

Misty: I HOPE NOT.

WE HAVE TO FIND WHERE THE CLEFAIRY HAVE PIKACHU.

OH!

PIKACHU!

All: CLEFAIRY!

CLEFAIRY!

HUH?

PLEASE, CLEFAIRY.

GIMME BACK MY PIKACHU.

CLEFAIRY.

THAT PIKACHU'S NOT JUST A POKéMON. IT'S MY FRIEND. WON'T YOU--AAH!

JIGGLYPUFF.

CLEFAIRY?

JIGGLY!

JIGGLYPUFF! AAH!

IT'S THE POUND ATTACK!

CLEFAIRY.

CLEFAIRY!

WOW. THE CLEFAIRY'S USING A POUND ATTACK, TOO.

WHOA!

THAT'S JIGGLYPUFF'S DOUBLESLAP ATTACK!

All: CLEFAIRY!

All: CLEFAIRY!

REAL CUTE.

ASTOUNDING.

WE'RE WITNESSING AN ALIEN GRUDGE MATCH.

JIGGLY...

HEY! WAIT FOR ME, JIGGLYPUFF!

PIKACHU!

WAKE UP, PIKACHU!

WE'VE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE FAST.

Ash: PLEASE WAKE UP, PIKACHU.

SO...

THIS IS THE CONTROL CENTER.

CLEFAIRY.

JIGGLYPUFF.

CLEFAIRY.

CLEFAIRY!

AAH!

CLEFAIRY.

JIGGLY-JIGGLY PUFF!

CLEFAIRY, CLEFAIRY, CLEFAIRY, CLEFAIRY!

THIS CONTROL PANEL IS INGENIOUS.

I WONDER WHAT THIS JOYSTICK IS SUPPOSED TO DO?

UH OH. I BROKE IT.

CLEFAIRY. JIGGLYPUFF.

DON'T WORRY. I'LL TRY TO FIX IT.

JIGGLY...

PUFF! AAH!

CLEFAIRY?

♪ JIGGLYPUFF... JIGGLY...PUFF ♪

♪ JIGGLYPUFF JIGGLY...♪

HUH? WHAT'S THAT?

IT'S JIGGLYPUFF'S SONG.

A SONG I ALWAYS GET TIRED OF.

[SNORING]

Jigglypuff: WAKE UP!

STOP IT!

PIKACHU!

HEY, WAS I AT AN ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT CATNIP BUFFET?

IT FEELS LIKE WE'RE MOVING.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

BUT, OFFICER JENNY, IT'S REALLY TRUE.

DO YOU REALLY EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE THAT A BUNCH OF CLEFAIRY

STOLE THOSE THINGS TO MAKE A SPACESHIP?

[RUMBLING]

All: AAH!

HERE IT IS. MY BABY'S BOTTLE.

NOW I CAN COOK MY CHICKEN.

GREAT! NOW I CAN HIT SOME HOMERS.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

All: READY, SET, GO!

All: AAH!

THERE GOES...

THE SPACESHIP.

WE'RE ON THE WRONG ROCKET!

All: AAH!

TEAM ROCKET GOT BLASTED OFF AGAIN!

CHU!

WHOA. PIKACHU!

PIKA.

ARE YOU OK, PIKACHU?

PIKACHU.

I'M GLAD IT'S OUTTA THAT THING.

I WONDER HOW IT CRACKED OPEN.

PIKACHU'S ELECTRIC ATTACK MUST'VE BEEN TOO POWERFUL FOR IT.

LIKE WHEN A BALLOON POPS 'CAUSE THERE'S TOO MUCH AIR INSIDE.

Misty: HEY! THERE ARE OUR BACKPACKS.

LET'S GRAB THEM AND ABANDON SHIP.

Ash: RIGHT!

WHOA. WHAT A DROP.

Misty: WE'LL NEVER MAKE IT.

WHAT'LL WE DO?

ASH, A SKYSCRAPER.

Ash: THAT'S IT!

BULBASAUR, I CHOOSE YOU!

BULBASAUR.

Ash: VINE WHIP. NOW!

BULBASAUR!

All: AAH!

AAH!

PIKA-PI.

THERE THEY GO.

WHERE DO YOU THINK THEY'RE HEADED FOR, MISTY?

FOR A GREAT BIG ADVENTURE.

PIKA, PIKA.

I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.

[CRASH]

SOMETHING JUST CRASHED.

Fisherman: WHAT IS IT?

IT LOOKS LIKE A SPACESHIP.

WOW. A SPACESHIP.

Oswald: IS THIS THE PLANET OF THE CLEFAIRY?

AAH! IT'S ALIENS! RUN!

WAIT! ARE YOU ALIENS, TOO?

OWWW!

OH, MY GOODNESS.

All, chanting: CLEFAIRY.

Fisherman 1: HEY! THAT'S MY POLE.

Fisherman 2: GIVE ME BACK MY BAIT HOOK.

Officer Jenny: ON BEHALF OF EVERYONE, I'D LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU.

THANKS. WE'RE GLAD YOU GOT EVERYTHING BACK.

BYE. SEE YA. SO LONG.

Narrator: AND SO, ASH CONTINUES ON HIS QUEST

TO ENTER THE POKéMON LEAGUE.

NOTHING CAN STOP OUR HEROES NOW.

EXCEPT MAYBE A SONG FROM JIGGLYPUFF.

Jigglypuff: JIGGLYPUFF.
