Original subtitles

This is Masara Town.

And here lives...

Mom!

I can go too, can't I?

To Professor Okido's Pokémon Camp!

It's a camp to observe wild Pokémon with Professor Okido!

Huh, a camp to observe wild Pokémon?

All right, I'll sign you up.

Yay! All right!

But I have things to do that morning.

You'll have to get up on your own.

I can't wait!

Satoshi, are you listening?

I wonder what kind of Pokémon I'll meet!

Pocket Monsters...

Pokémon for short.

Strange, strange creatures with countless secrets.

Some Pokémon live happily alongside humans...

But in the grass...

In the air...

and in the water, you'll find wild Pokémon, too!

And in this forest...

Pichu is a Pokémon who can discharge electricity.

It still can't use it well, though.

There are many Pokémon who live in packs in the forest,

but it appears that this Pichu is all alone.

The lonely Pichu...

...began living with the Garura family.

Several weeks later...

...the day had come for Professor Okido's camp.

Professor Okido! Aren't we leaving yet?

Well, you see... There's supposed to be one more coming.

The meetup time's already over, though...

He's an energetic little boy who lives nearby...

Probably went "I'm going on a trip tomorrow, so I'm too excited to sleep!"

I bet he's careless and simple-minded.

Can't wait... for the Pokémon... Camp...

That does describe him pretty well...

But, um... Who are you?

I'm Go! She invited me here!

Oh, you're Koharu's friend?

That's right! Go comes to play at Dad's lab all the time!

Is Professor Sakuragi doing all right?

Yes!

Koharu's father is a Pokémon researcher, as well.

He shows great promise, as well; He's been deemed a genius since he was young.

So, how long are we gonna wait for the careless and simple-minded guy?

We don't want to be late back, either...

Oh, well. I guess we're setting off.

The... sun?!

Professor Okido! Everyone! Wait for me!

All right, it's time to explore the forest and observe the Pokémon living here!

All right!

A real live Caterpie!

Go, Monster Ball!

All right! I got Caterpie!

As you just saw, you can catch wild Pokémon by throwing Monster Balls at them.

When you turn ten, you can become Pokémon Trainers,

get your own starter Pokémon,

and embark on an adventure with Pokémon!

But before that, you should get yourselves plenty of Pokémon knowledge!

All right! We got it!

I've already got more Pokémon knowledge than I'll ever need, though!

Go?!

That's great to hear!

Do you know what this Pokémon is?

It's Cocoon, the Cocoon Pokémon, yeah?

Oh! Correct!

Well, do you know that Pokémon, then?

That's Kamonegi, yeah?

The thing in its mouth is a plant stalk. The stalk is used like a sword to cut all sorts of things!

Amazing!

Awesome!

I can't believe you knew that!

That's Digda! A Pokémon that feeds on plant roots!

Here's Digda's evolved form; Dugtrio!

It's amazingly strong! It can dig to a depth of 100 kilometers!

Go! Professor Okido is supposed to provide the Pokémon explanations!

You really do know a lot about Pokémon, don't you, Go?

Just like Go just said, Pokémon evolve.

The conditions for them to evolve vary,

but Pokémon are creatures who change their appearance and shape.

But Kamonegi don't evolve!

T-That's right...

Not every Pokémon evolves! But some Pokémon do, right?

Go!

It's quite all right.

Now let's look at the Pokémon living in the water.

Come on, Go!

This is why you can't make any friends!

I don't want to get friends...

I want to get an amazing Pokémon someday! One that nobody's ever seen!

Hey, are you mocking me?!

I mean, that's just a dream...

It's not a dream! It's the future!

And that future lies in my hands!

Huh?

It's a Nidoking!

Huh?

It vanished?!

No way!

It used the same move as Nidoking!

The same move again?!

It's playing by using the same moves as its opponent!

Who's that Pokémon?!

Go, wait!

Pocket Monsters!

Electric Pichu

Go! I said wait!

Where'd that Pokémon go?!

Oh, come on, Go!

Boobur!

Go!

It turned into a Kentauros?!

And now a Laplace?!

I'm not giving up!

Go!

Meanwhile, in the same forest, Pichu had become good friends with the Garura family...

These Pokémon are called Lucky.

They'll share their eggs with their friends.

Lucky's eggs are highly nutritious, and the Pokémon love them.

I'm sure it flew this way...

Go, let's go back to the others.

I'm sure Professor Okido is worried!

Oh, no!

Professor Okido!

Oh, there you are!

I looked all over for you!

That might have been Mew.

Mew?

It's said to live deep in the jungle...

But since it can freely hide itself, it's very hard to spot.

It seems to contain the genes of every Pokémon.

It's known as a Mythical Pokémon.

A Mythical Pokémon?

Awesome... Mew is amazing!

I wanna turn ten already!

Turn ten, become a Pokémon Trainer...

Then I'll catch that Pokémon... I'll catch Mew, for sure!

A new meeting...

A small missed opportunity...

Then, some time later...

Pichu and Garura's child had both grown a bit bigger.

One parting...

...leads to another meeting.

Several years later...

Satoshi, the young boy who lives in Masara Town...

...had turned ten.

The... sun?!

On the day he was finally set to embark on his journey as a Pokémon Trainer,

Satoshi overslept again,

but he was still able to get his first Pokémon.

It's called Pikachu.

So cute! He's perfect!

Really?

Yeah!

Pikachu, it's so nice to meet you!

What's...

It's also known as the electric mouse.

It's quite shy, and doesn't take to people very well.

This is what happens if you touch it carelessly.

Pikachu, huh?

I'm Satoshi! Nice to meet you!

This meeting was the start of Satoshi and Pikachu's story.

The two have shared many adventures,

and now the curtain rises on yet another one!

Hey, you still not ready? C'mon, hurry up! Hey, you still not ready? C'mon, hurry up!

You all packed and ready to leave? You all packed and ready to leave?

I'll show you this wide mysterious world I'll show you this wide mysterious world

And skip the slow send-off And skip the slow send-off

Be it through fire or through water Be it through fire or through water

I'm fumbling blindly through the days I'm fumbling blindly through the days

When I don't even know what the next second will bring When I don't even know what the next second will bring

Oh, yeah... Go hardly ever goes to school, right?

That's right...

It's like researching and observing Pokémon is all he ever does.

The future...

...already...

...lies in my hands!

Now! Onto the next adventure!

Go!

An exceedingly rare Pokémon will show itself at Kuchiba Port!

What?! Lugia?!

Let's all fight together!

It's a Raid Battle!

Wait!

I'll be the one to battle Lugia!

No! The future lies in my hands!

Who are you?!

Right back at you!
