[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

Pokémon

ASH: Blue skies...

BROCK: White clouds...

MISTY: And sea as far as you can see.

Ohh, I wish that ship could take us off this island.

Narrator: We find our heroes stranded

at Porta Vista,

the only town on the island with ferries to the mainland.

[SIGHS]

NARRATOR: It seems our friends have missed the boat.

It'll be a long three hours until the next ferry.

Pika, chu, chu!

-Huh? Oh, look!

It's a Horsea. How cute!

Huh? where?

Hey!

I'll just get Dexter to tell me about it.

-[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Horsea, a dragon Pokémon.

With this unique Pokémon species,

thousands of eggs hatch every spring,

and then the male raises them himself.

It looks like it's injured.

Huh?

-[WEAKLY] Horsea.

And there's no Pokémon Center around here.

I know what.

Hor... sea.

Horsea, horsea.

It's saying something.

We have to try to take care of its wounds first.

I'll capture it in my Pokéball.

[EXPLOSION]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

-Oh, no! The boat!

Look out!

ASH: I wonder what's happening.

MISTY: We've got to act fast!

My water Pokémon can help those people.

Staryu, Starmie, Goldeen, go!

I didn't know you can do that.

Don't just stand there.

Go look for a boat to help them!

BOTH: right.

-Ah! Wah!

This way!

Carry them all to our boat!

Goldeen.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Horsea.

MAN: It's terrible, terrible!

He seems like he's paralyzed.

Hey, what happened to you out there?

The boss.

I've got to tell the boss what happened.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

I'm the boss, Nastina!

[ALL YELP]

I understand that you helped

to save the men on my ship.

Thank you very much.

[LAUGHS]

You're very welcome.

I wonder if you could give us a ride to the mainland.

You don't think you're gonna get away that fast, do you?

Not till you see my new resort.

Resort?

It's not finished,

but it'll be spectacular.

The world's biggest luxury resort.

MISTY: Is that it out on the ocean?

NASTINA: Yes, that's it.

That's Nastina's Paradise,

a super luxury hotel,

the hotel to end all hotels.

It'll have hundreds of luxurious suites,

surrounded by the world's most beautiful coral reef,

but only if those Tentacool

stop interfering with construction.

The Tentacool?

I get it.

The Tentacool paralyzed your sailors.

Because of those Tentacool,

all the tourists have been staying away from here.

I don't know why such despicable creatures even exist.

Did you say despicable?

They're disgusting,

you can't even eat them,

and they're hurting my profits.

I was hoping the three of you might be able to help me

take care of my little problem.

Do you have the skill to handle

a Tentacool extermination project?

ALL: Huh?

Of course I'll pay you well.

BOTH: Whoa! -Hmph.

If you succeed,

you'll get world-class, all-you-can-oat luxury dinners

for one year,

$1 million in cash,

and vouchers for free stays in the hotel.

Yeah!

First, you have to exterminate the Tentacool-

every last one!

Then I'll pay you the reward.

[SEETHING]

That's disgusting!

[GROWLS]

Misty.

[GROWLS]

There's a girl who can't be bought.

ASH: Hey, wait up.

BROCK: What are you so mad about?

MISTY: Doesn't that old woman make you sick?

Well, she's not really my type, but-

-She wants to destroy the Tentacool.

BOTH: Huh?

And they're all so cute.

They're cute?

-[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Tentacool, a jellyfish Pokémon.

99% of its body is made up of water.

Ugly.

I guess ugly is in the eye of the beholder.

If Tentacool are attacking humans,

then there must be a very good reason for it.

Do you really think so?

Of course!

Tentacool are so squishy and nice when you hold them,

and they call the pretty red spot on their heads

the ruby of the sea.

Who calls it that?

Well, I call it that.

It's my name for it.

When you talk about water Pokémon,

it's like you get a different personality.

I don't understand why you can't see their charm.

Water Pokémon are so beautiful and have such depth.

[SIGHS] Like that Horsea we saw.

It was a talented artist.

Art?

You mean that ink it spit out if its mouth?

Chu, chu.

Chu!

Horsea, eee, eee.

Horsea!

-Horsea! Ee-oe!

How do you feel?

Are you okay?

The super potion seems to be working.

-Thank goodness. [LAUGHS]

They're really communicating.

-[UNCERTAINLY] Horsea?

Huh?

What is it?

What are you trying to say?

-[FEARFULLY] Horsea.

Say, didn't that picture it drew

look like a Tentacool?

Maybe it was telling us about the Tentacool

and why that ship was sunk.

Is that right, Horsea?

-Sea, sea. [WHIMPERS]

NASTINA: Citizens of Porta Vista, listen up!

Nastina.

Effective immediately,

I am recruiting volunteers

to exterminate the Tentacool terrorizing our town.

Exterminate?

I will award $1 million to anyone

who can exterminate the Tentacool.

Isn't Nastina generous?

She'll do anything to destroy them.

Anyone who wants money-

I mean, wants to help the development of our town,

come to the yacht harbor immediately!

Huh, she expects to get people

to destroy the Tentacool for money?

How ridiculous.

Ohh, it's not ridiculous to them.

[HORSEA WHIMPERS]

[ALL YELLING]

[ALL SHOUTING OVER EACH OTHER]

All right, which one of you is going to win

the $1 million reward?

Huh?

Oh, who is that?

JESSIE: Prepare for trouble.

JAMES: 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.

Jessie.

James.

Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light.

Surrender now or prepare to fight.

-Meowth! That's right!

Hey, they got a lot of spunk.

That's a new definition of "spunk."

Pikachu.

-Look at that hair. -Disaster.

[BOTH YELP]

I don't need your beauty tips!

I need to get rid of Tentacool!

-It's a very distinctive style. Just don't shoot.

You mean dis-stink-tive.

Oh, we are terribly sorry.

Yes, very sorry.

Please, leave your little Tentacool extermination project

to Team Rocket.

[CHUCKLES]

This crew might just pull it off.

We sure will, Nastina.

Sounds good.

If you exterminate the Tentacool completely,

the million bucks is yours.

Isn't Nastina generous?

Yes, we heard you the first time.

Just get the dough ready for us.

[BOAT MOTOR WHIRRING]

Pikachu.

They're disrespecting the ocean.

Huh?

[LAUGHTER]

-[SING-SONGY] We're gonna make a million.

Just for getting rid of some jellyfish.

And it's going to be so easy with our...

[TOGETHER] super secret stun sauce!

We'll just pour it into the ocean

all over the Tentacool.

Then we'll catch 'em and open up a fish market.

And we'll make even more money.

There's nothing like making money.

[RHYTHMIC RUMBLING]

[WHIMPERS]

Why are we going back?

[YELPS]

T-t-t- ALL: Tentacool!

-What are they? -Look out there!

All of those things are Tentacool?

-Dump the stun sauce! Dump the stun sauce!

Ugh, we don't have enough of it.

There must be 10,000 of them.

[LASER WHOOSHES]

[EXPLOSION]

[ALL SCREAM]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[ALL SCREAMING]

We super-sized it!

[TENTACRUEL GROANING]

ALL: Who's that Pokémon?

It's Horsea!

Horsea!

[TENTACRUEL GROANING]

This is impossible.

Even at its greatest height,

a Tentacruel shouldn't be more than seven feet tall.

[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Tentacruel, a jelly Pokémon,

an evolved form of the Tentacool.

Its numerous tentacles serve as a powerful weapon.

It is known as the gangster of the sea.

That must be the gang leader.

-Oh, no! Tentacruel's in trouble!

How dare that thing crush my hotel!

Commence fire!

[CANNONFIRE]

[TENTACRUEL GROANING]

[GROWLS]

Leave my hotel alone!

ALL: Tentacool, tentacool, tentacool, tentacool...

[SCREAMS]

ALL: Tentacool, tentacool, tentacool, tentacool...

We've got to try to protect Tentacruel!

But there's gonna be a tidal wave!

Ah!

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

ALL: Tentacool, tentacool, tentacool, tentacool...

Oh, thank badness we survived.

We're high and dry.

It's a good thing we grabbed onto this pole.

It should be safe to climb down now.

[BOTH WHIMPERING] Help!

Oh, it's a good thing I just got that insured!

That's the last straw, Tentacruel!

I'm coming after you! Whoa!

[TENTACRUEL GROWLS]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

So this is what

that Horsea was trying to warn us about earlier.

I don't understand.

Why would they do a thing like this?

Now everyone will be against them.

[LASER WHOOSHES]

[EXPLOSIONS]

Pikachu, do something.

[PIKACHU GASPS]

Pika, chu!

You're right.

There's no way you could battle

against something that big.

Just leave this to me.

-Wait! Up there!

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

It's Meowth.

Meowth has abandoned us.

Oh, it's a Tentacruel world.

-No time for drama. Let's get out of here.

[BOTH YELP]

We are Tentacool and Tentacruel.

Hear us now.

Humans have destroyed our ocean home,

and now we will have our revenge.

[LASERS WHOOSHING]

[GASPS]

Tentacruel's using Meowth as a puppet.

Now we will begin to destroy your world, your home,

as you have so cruelly tried to destroy ours.

And not one of you has the right to complain about it.

Their homes must've been where that hotel's being built.

-That's right. The coral reef.

[GASPS]

That's exactly what Horsea was trying to tell us.

I should've understood what it was trying to say.

And I call myself a water Pokémon trainer.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[PEOPLE EXCLAIM]

Horsea, ee, ee!

Horsea, ee, ee!

It's too late, Horsea.

No matter what you think, we cannot turn away.

We must teach humans the pain of having homes destroyed.

Horsea, ee, ee, ee!

A spineless attitude like yours

will only allow humans

to be more cruel and inconsiderate in the future.

Horsea!

So you say we're the spineless ones?

For that, you must be punished!

Horsea!

[HORSEA WHIMPERING]

Horsea!

Grab him, Pidgeotto!

[PIDGEOTTO CAWS]

Horsea...

Good work, Pidgeotto.

[HORSEA WHIMPERING]

I'm sorry, Horsea.

You got beaten up,

and you did it all for us humans.

Thank you.

-[WEAKLY] Horsea.

Pika, pika, pika, pika!

-You want to try your luck? -Chu.

All right, full power attack now!

Squirtle... -Squirtle!

-Bulbasaur... -Bulbasaur!

-Butterfree... -Free!

-Pidgeotto! [PIDGEOTTO CAWS]

Starmie, Staryu, and Goldeen!

-Get ready, Zubat! -Zubat!

[DETERMINED MUSIC]

[LASERS WHOOSHING]

[PIDGEOTTO CAWS]

Pikachu!

Hey, Pikachu,

don't let the Tentacool get any closer to us!

Send them back to the sea!

[BUTTERFREE TITTERING]

Bulba, bulba, bulba, bulba!

[PEOPLE CHEER]

-Huh? Hey, where's Misty?

You are all Pokémon.

Why are you battling to save the destructive human?

-Pidge! -Pika!

Bulba!

[STARMIE GRUNTS]

Goldeen!

[PANTING]

Zu!

-Ah, Zubat! -Squirtle!

Though you are Pokémon,

if you take the human's side,

you are our enemy.

[PIDGEOTTO CAWS]

-Pika! Pika, pikachu!

Pikachu, pika!

[TENTACRUEL GRUMBLING]

Kachu!

Pikachu's reasoning with it?

I'm counting on you, Pikachu!

Pika, pika, chu.

Pikachu.

[TENTACRUEL GRUMBLING]

Chu!

Pika!

[TENTACRUEL GRUMBLING]

Pikachu, pika!

[TENTACRUEL GRUMBLING]

Pika, pika, pika, Pikachu!

[TENTACRUEL GRUMBLES]

MISTY: Please stop, Tentacruel!

Please, take them all back to the ocean!

BOTH: Misty?

Pikachu.

Please listen, Tentacruel.

This is enough!

We humans understand that we've hurt you.

[TENTACRUEL GRUMBLES]

[EARNEST MUSIC]

We won't destroy your homes anymore.

We're sorry,

so please...

If this happens again, we will not stop.

Remember this well.

[HIGH-PITCHED WHISTLING]

[CRASH!]

[LOUD CRASHING]

-Meowth. Where am I?

For the moment...

We've got our feet on the ground.

[BOTH GROAN]

ALL: Tentacool, tentacool, tentacool, tentacool...

rah!

You think you can get away that easy, do you?

Take this!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

I'll capture you, throw you in a tank,

and charge admission.

[CANNONFIRE]

Eat lead, squiddly!

She doesn't get the message, does she?

Let's go!

Come on, you big jellyfish.

I'll show you. Whoa!

What an overgrown squirt!

What's wrong with you, Nastina?

Don't you understand?

What you're trying to do is wrong for everybody

because it hurts Pokémon and humans.

Horsea.

You stuck-up little brat!

Huh?

-Tentacruel? -Horsea.

[LAUGHS]

Well, Tentacruel, glad to see you're wising up

and coming over to my way of thinking.

Now, why don't you and me go into business together?

Whoa!

[DING!]

-Uh... -So long!

Mmm!

Huh? Oh.

[TRIUMPHANT MUSIC]

Good-bye, Tentacruel. We'll remember.

Horsea.

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

[HAMMERING]

[GROANING]

Whew.

Huh?

[SCREAMING]

[GRUNTS]

[LOUD RUMBLING]

You shouldn't drop in on me like this.

I thought that's what cousins are for.

Eesh.

[SHIP HORN BLARES]

It's kind of weird,

but Tentacruel turned out to be okay.

You're right.

So, Misty, you still think jellyfish Pokémon are cute?

Sure do.

[BOTH GROAN]

Hm, but right now, Horsea's the cutest Pokémon of all.

Come on, Horsea!

Horsea!

Horsea, you're my Pokémon.

-Wait a minute. That's supposed to be my pose.

I know, but I've always wanted to try it out for myself.

-That's a good idea. Next time, I'll try it.

Oh, why don't you guys just think up your own poses, okay?

You should be flattered

that people want to try out your pose.

-That's right. Don't be so greedy.

What?

NARRATOR: The ocean has become peaceful once more,

and as they leave Porta Vista behind,

our heroes set off for their next Pokémon gym

and their next Pokémon adventure.

[TOGETHER] We'll get them next time.

Don't go away!

The Pokérap is next!

[SINGING] -Pokémon

Attention, all Pokémon trainers.

Do you got what it takes to be the best?

Today, we'll do 30 Pokémon.

It's the ultimate test.

[SINGING] -Gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all, gotta catch 'em all

At least 150 or more to see

To be a Pokémon master is my destiny

Not bad, not bad.

-Hey, don't get cocky. Tomorrow's the hardest part.

We're on our way up to 150 Pokémon.

There's no stopping us!

[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

-Yeah -Pokémon

[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

Pokémon, gotta catch 'em all

A heart so true

Our courage will pull us through

You teach me and I'll teach you

Gotta catch 'em all
