[UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC]

-[SINGING] I want to be the very best

Like no one ever was

To catch them is my real test

To train them is my cause

I will travel across the land

Searching far and wide

Each Pokémon to understand

The power that's inside

Pokémon, gotta catch 'em all

It's you and me

[CRASH!]

I know it's my destiny

Pokémon

Oh, you're my best friend

In a world we must defend

Pokémon, gotta catch 'em all

A heart so true

Our courage will pull us through

You teach me and I'll teach you

Pokémon

Gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all

Pokémon

Gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all

[SMOKESTACK BLARES]

NARRATOR: As his Pokémon journey continues,

Ash is one step closer to achieving his dream

of becoming a Pokémon master.

Last time, Ash defeated the Vermilion City Gym leader,

and earned a Thunder Badge!

[LAUGHS]

Hmm?

Hey. -Pikachu.

NARRATOR: Has Ash's ship finally come in,

or will our heroes be cruisin' for a bruisin'?

-Pika! -Wow!

Beautiful!

Oh, man, I'd love to cross the ocean

on a ship like this!

Yeah, just think of all the Pokémon we'd be able to see

along the way!

Oh, for sure!

Just imagine, sunbathing on deck all day.

Just a nice, long, relaxing cruise.

We could never afford a cruise like that.

Oh!

Reality can really bum you out.

Congratulations!

You guys are way lucky!

You can go on a super deluxe sea cruise!

[LAUGHTER]

ALL: A sea cruise?

Well, it's, like, you know, we have these incredible,

super cool tickets for you.

-Cool. -Cool, huh?

What?

These are tickets for the biggest party ever,

on board the St. Anne cruise liner.

The famous St. Anne?

Cool.

-The coolest ship on the sea! -Oh.

Everyone's going to be together

and, like, have the coolest party.

Cool.

And the party's for Pokémon trainers only.

-Cool. -Step this way.

[GIGGLING]

It'll be a radical party!

All the most radical Pokémon trainers will be there!

Do you know anybody who says "radical" anymore?

Mm-mmm.

Okay, dudes, here are your tickets!

We'd love to go on the Pokémon trainer cruise,

but we really don't have the money to pay for it.

Oh, whoa, like, you don't understand.

-Cool. -They're totally free.

-Huh? -Totally free.

To-tal-ly free!

-For free? Why are you giving 'em away?

Like, we have to go out with our boyfriends,

but we wanted to give our tickets to cool Pokémon fans.

Cool.

We saw you and thought you looked really cool.

Just take these and have a really cool time!

-Thanks a lot! -No sweat.

-Cool. -Have a nice day, for sure!

All right!

This really is cool, isn't it?

Pikachu!

[SMOKESTACK BLARING]

-The St. Anne. Wow!

Yeah, and that Pokémon party.

I wonder which one of these ships is the St. Anne.

I think that's it.

-Huh? -Wow.

That's incredible.

It's huge.

Pika.

-We did it. We got them.

Like, wow, don't I make, like, the coolest girl?

-[GRUNTS] -[WHIMPERS]

Stop acting like an ignoramus.

Ow.

We got a call from the boss.

Greetings, sir.

So the team is all there.

ALL: Sir.

[PURRING]

Meow!

What's with the Persian?

Hey, boss, what about Me-owth?

Ain't I your favorite any more?

I'm totally disgusted watching you fail me

when I expect total perfection.

Purr-fection, like this beautiful Persian.

But... Meowth.

If you want to make me happy,

you can make sure our latest plan succeeds.

Meowth!

Have you handed out

all of the tickets to the St. Anne cruise?

Yes.

All of the Pokémon trainers were delighted to take them.

Was it really all right for us

to give out all those tickets for free?

A small price to pay for what I'll get in return.

BOTH: Oh.

My men have already secretly boarded the St. Anne.

When I give them the signal, they will take the Pokémon

from all of the trainers we tricked into boarding the ship.

That's the boss for you, a real genius.

This time, failure is out of the question.

BOTH: Ayo-aye, sir.

We can do it.

[CHUCKLES]

What an awesome ship.

I'd like to travel around the whole world in this.

Welcome aboard the St. Anne.

This way.

-Wow! Look at this!

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Come one, come all.

-Oh. It's so cute.

It's like a giant Pokémon convention.

Everyone's a Pokémon trainer.

Take a look at the smooth skin on my Charmander.

That shows how healthy it is.

Look at the flame on my Charmander.

There's orange mixed in with the red.

Cool, huh? Check it out.

Wait, look how hard the shell is on my Squirtle.

Tough, eh?

My Squirtle and my Charmander

are much better than theirs are.

-All right, bring them on. -Hmm?

-Raticate, Jump Kick. -Raticate!

All right, Starmie, Spinning Tackle.

[GRUNTS]

Raticate!

All right, they're having a battle.

Raticate, Super Fang Attack, now.

Raticate!

[JEWEL CRUNCHING]

[JEWEL SHATTERING]

[GASPS]

Are you okay, Starmie?

Ah, don't feel too badly, young man.

It was only a practice match anyhow,

and I just happened to be lucky.

My, how gracious.

Not at all, Miss.

Keep working on building your Starmie's strength there.

Well, now, is anybody else brave enough

to challenge my Raticate?

-[GRUNTING] I can't wait.

How about battling my Butterfree?

As you wish.

Boy, I hope he knows what he's doing.

Say, Jessie, this place is packed.

Yes, and packed with Pokémon.

And soon all these Pokémon will be ours.

[MANIACAL LAUGHTER]

All for us. -Shut up.

They're not for us. They're for the boss.

I forgot.

-Raticate, Jump Kick. -Raticate.

Butterfree, Tackle!

[SCREECHING]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Does Ash's Butterfree even stand a chance

against that Raticate?

-Sure. It's a good match, really.

Finish it, Raticate.

Hyper Fang Attack.

Raticate!

[GRUNTS]

Raticate!

Butterfree, Stun Spore.

[CHATTERING]

[GRUNTING]

-All right. Now the Whirlwind.

That's enough.

Huh?

Why don't we just call it a draw?

-[UNDER BREATH] But I was winning.

MAN: Boy, boy. Hey, you boy.

Come here.

Are you addressing me?

I want you to have a look at this Pokémon.

Huh?

What is this thing?

The king of all carp.

A Magikarp.

What do I do, eat it?

-[CHUCKLES] See how healthy it is.

-[SHUDDERS] It certainly is lively.

Just between you and me,

this Magikarp is like a Pokémon gold mine.

-Gold mine? -Right.

A Magikarp lays 1,000 eggs at a time.

Each of those 1,000 baby Magikarp

lay 1,000 more.

1,000 times 1,000 makes 1 million.

Every one of those 1 million lays another 1,000.

That's a billion Pokémon.

A billion?

You can sell one Magikarp for $100.

In three generations, you have tons of money.

Billions and billions.

Billions?

You'll be so rich,

you can go on a Pokémon shopping spree.

Rich... rich.

I normally charge $100,

but for you, I'll throw in an egg-laying set,

childcare set,

and an education set for only $300.

How about it?

I'll take it.

-I can tell... you're gonna be a very rich man,

a very rich man.

[CRAZED LAUGHTER]

Who's that Pokémon?

It's Raticate. -Raticate!

[ALL CHOMPING]

So are you having yourself a good time?

Yes, sir, we're having a great time.

You know, that Butterfree of yours is quite extraordinary.

It's incredible.

She's beautiful.

Hello in there.

Beautiful.

Here we go again.

Well, I've put a lot of work into raising it.

What did you think of my Raticate?

It looked great,

and it really put up a tough fight.

In that case, I'll be direct.

Why don't we trade?

Trade Pokémon?

When two people find

that they each like the other's Pokémon, they trade.

It's quite a common practice everywhere.

Everywhere?

You see, friends who trade

then trade with their other friends,

and so friendships grow deeper

and continue to spread wider and wider.

Trading and making new friends

is one of the best things about having Pokémon.

That's how Pokémon friendships

get to spread all around the world.

Wow.

Friendship is wonderful isn't it?

Yeah, yeah.

Why don't you and I start a friendship right now?

Should I trade, Brock?

-Oh, yeah. You gotta trade.

Everybody should trade. Let's start tradin'.

Well, okay...

Here we go.

Hmm.

[STATIC CRACKLING]

[ELECTRONIC CHIRPING]

Well, that's all there is to it.

Raticate is your new Pokémon.

-You idiot! Can't you see you were tricked?

What a dope.

-But you don't understand. Magikarp is a goldmine.

Even its Pokéball is solid gold.

It's just gold-plated.

[SCREAMS]

Magikarp is a no-talent Pokémon

that can't do anything but flop around.

How could you possibly expect to sell it?

I was tricked.

How did you get the money for it?

Well, the advance on my salary

didn't quite cover it, so I-

-So you did what?

I used the advance on your salary.

Oh!

You go take that fish and get my money back right now!

[SMOKESTACK BLARING]

What's the matter, Ash?

You look so serious.

I was just thinking, I wonder if that guy

is gonna take good care of my Butterfree.

Oh.

I traded my Butterfree to some guy I don't even know

just because he seemed to like trading so much.

I really don't even know

if he'll take care of it the way I did.

-Look on the bright side. You got a Raticate.

[SIGHS]

It's just, when I was trading it away,

I remembered the time when it evolved into Butterfree.

Pika.

[SMOKESTACK BLARING]

[SIGHING]

[CHUCKLES]

It won't be long now.

[SCREECHING]

[DOOR SLAMMING]

-Hey! -Pikachu?

[CONFUSED CHATTER]

Hey, hombre, I want my...

my money back.

[SCREAMS]

Are you crazy?

-But I- -We've got work to do!

To protect the world from devastation...

[WEAKLY] To unite all peoples within our nation...

To denounce the evils of truth and love...

To extend our reach to the stars above...

-Jessie. -James.

-Team Rocket. Blast off at the speed of light.

[SIGHS]

Surrender now or prepare to fight.

-Meowth. That's right.

Team Rocket will now take possession of your Pokémon.

[CONFUSED CHATTER]

[WIND RUSHING]

[ALL SCREAMING]

-Gimme your Pokémon. -No way.

Don't make me take 'em.

-Pikachu! -Pikachu.

[SCREAMING]

If they're gonna try to rob our Pokémon,

We might as well make it a battle.

Yeah, we can't just surrender.

Let's fight back!

[ALL CHEERING]

ALL: Go!

Suck them up. Suck them up.

Suck them all up.

[SHIMMERING TONE]

-Atta way to go, guys. Keep suckin' em up.

Make sure you get every last one.

Squirtle, go!

Squirtle.

We've gotta fight them together.

-Pikachu, go. -Pika.

[ALL CHATTERING]

Pika.

[SCREAMING]

[ALL SCREAMING]

Charmander, I choose you.

Char!

ALL: Char! Char!

Char! Char!

[FLAMES WHOOSHING]

[ALL SCREAMING]

Geodude, go!

Geodude.

ALL: [ECHOING] Geodude. Geodude. Geodude.

[ALL SCREAMING]

[ALL CHATTERING]

[ALL SCREAMING]

[ALL CHATTERING]

Now it's my turn.

Go, Butterfree.

Raticate!

Huh?

-Ash, you traded it, remember? -Oh, yeah.

[ALL CHATTERING]

Butterfree...

oh...

[CHATTERING]

Ah...

[CHATTERING]

-Yeah! All right!

[CHATTERING]

I raised that Butterfree all by myself.

I have to get Butterfree back.

Hand over the Pokéballs.

Pidgeotto, I choose you.

[SCREECHING]

Pidgeotto, Group Gust!

[WINGS FLUTTERING]

[SCREECHING]

[WIND HOWLING]

Pikachu, all together, Thunderbolt!

[ALL CHATTERING]

Pika.

[ECHOING SCREAM]

[ALL SCREAMING]

-We did it! Great job!

I think we should all be very proud of our Pokémon.

And we taught Team Rocket

a lesson they'll never forget.

I can't wait to get off this lousy bucket.

[WAVE CRASHING]

[ALL SCREAMING]

Wait, there goes my salary advance!

-There goes my money too! -Meowth.

[WAVE CRASHING]

[ALL GASPING]

Oh, no, it's a big storm.

It'll be tough to get back with waves like this.

What?

Hey, where's Ash?

So you want to go back on our trade?

Butterfree was the first Pokémon I ever captured.

I worked very hard training and raising it.

Please, can I have it back?

You leave me no choice.

I'm sorry.

Now calm down.

These high seas have just pushed us a little off course.

A little off course?

There's nothing to worry about.

We're heading for port now,

and besides, this ship is unsinkable.

There's absolutely no need for alarm.

[WAVE CRASHING]

[ALL GASPING]

Now there's no reason to panic.

I just thought I'd test out one of the life boats.

[ALL CLAMORING]

-Come on, Ash, we gotta go. The ship is sinking.

Hold on.

Butterfree, please forgive me.

[WAVE CRASHING]

[GRUNTS]

Oh!

Butterfree!

Ash!

Wait, there goes my next paycheck!

Who cares about your paycheck?

What about mine?

We gotta get outta here.

[WAVE CRASHING]

[NERVOUS CHATTER]

[ALL PANTING]

I got ya!

[ALL SCREAMING]

[GRUNTS]

[ALL SCREAMING]

Got it!

[ALL SIGH]

[ALL SCREAMING]

-Look, there goes the ship! It's sinking!

May I have your attention:

Anyone who didn't leave the ship safely please say "aye."

-Good. Well done. Everyone's safe then.

Narrator: Not everyone, Captain.

And as the St. Anne heads to the bottom of the sea,

our heroes are trapped unconscious inside...

And so is Team Rocket.

Could this be the end?

How will they escape their watery fate?

I don't know,

but I have a terrible sinking feeling.

-Don't go away... the Pokérap is next.

[SINGING] Pokémon!

[SINGING] Pokémon

-Get those lips loose. It's time to Pokérap.

-Come on, sing 'em with me. That's the game.

-There's 150 Pokémon. How many can you name?

[SINGING] Gotta catch 'em all, gotta catch 'em all

Yeah

Gotta catch 'em all, gotta catch 'em all

We're almost home!

Gotta catch 'em all, gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all, gotta catch 'em all

Got to catch 'em all, Pokémon

That's all, folks.

Can you name all the Pokémon?

Just put today's song together with the other days of the week.

That's why you can't miss a show.

You got to catch 'em all!

-[SINGING] Catch 'em, catch 'em

Gotta catch 'em all

Ooh, gotta catch 'em all, Pokémon

Catch 'em, catch 'em

Gotta catch 'em all

Ooh, gotta catch 'em all, Pokémon

Catch 'em, catch 'em, gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all, Pokémon

[UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC]

-[SINGING] I want to be the very best
