[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

I'm waiting for you.

Come back to me.

Return to your beloved.

I'm waiting for you!

[LAUGHING MANIACALLY]

Narrator: Since last time,

Ash and his friends have been on a ferry,

sailing from the resort of Porta Vista

to continue their Pokémon journey.

Suddenly, Misty spots a landmark.

-Hey. Look over there.

-Pika! -Great!

That must be Maiden's Peak. That's where we get off.

We'll be landing soon.

Ah, it wouldn't matter to me if I never saw land again.

I just wasted another summer.

But we had a whole summer of adventures.

For kids, summer means playing on the beach,

splashing around and having fun.

But for me...

summer means bathing suits

and girls to wear them!

[GROANS]

Now bikini season's over,

and I'll have to wait another year to meet a girl!

[MOANS]

We're really at the end of our rope.

No room. No room service.

Stop whining.

We don't have a cent,

and at least this beats swimming.

P.A.: Maiden's Peak welcomes the passengers

arriving from Porta Vista!

We invite you all to attend

our annual summer's end festival,

now in progress!

-Cool! A festival!

-It looks like fun. Let's check it out.

I'll ride the ferris wheel all alone.

Huh? Who's that?

Whoa! What a knockout!

Ah!

-Pi. Ka.

Hey, she's gone.

Pi-ka-chu.

-Cheer up, Brock. We're at a festival.

-Yeah. Let's have some fun.

It's a festival.

[LAUGHS]

People spend a lot of money at these festivals,

but they never pay attention,

so they drop their change all over the place.

Meowth want a cotton candy.

Money is sweeter.

Ooh! Sweet!

-Snap out of it! Stop daydreaming!

That festival is waiting,

and I can smell money.

I can smell corn dogs.

Ooh.

[LAUGHTER AND CHEERING]

Let's go on the ferris wheel!

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Let's go on the ferris wheel!

[LAUGHTER]

She was the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.

Pika?

Hey, you, there.

Are you the-

Ah!

You're not that beautiful...

Who's not beautiful?

[WHIMPERS]

Beware.

Not of an old beauty like me,

but of a beautiful young woman,

or you'll meet a cruel fate!

-Ah! That girl on the rock.

I have to meet her!

I must be the beautiful girl she's talking about,

but I'd never hurt Brock.

I was talking about an elegant young woman,

not some scrawny little blabbermouth like you.

Scrawny?

Real scrawny!

Ow!

That's it-I don't have to stand around here

and be insulted.

Let's get out of here!

[BOTH SCREAM]

The beautiful woman.

"A cruel fate."

The cruelest fate would be never to see her again.

Hmm.

Nothing!

There's no money anywhere at this festival!

Not a quarter, nickel, or dime.

Not even a penny.

What kind of cheap festival is this?

We got to keep looking till we find something!

[DING!]

-Ah! A penny!

Hold it right there.

-Hmm? I dropped this.

-I've been watching you. You're up to no good.

And there's no good in your future.

-Who? The police?

The sheriff? The F.B.I.?

I see a young and beautiful woman

who will lead you to a cruel fate.

I don't need a fortune teller to know that!

Some woman is always causing me trouble.

It's a curse. [SIGHS]

Who do you mean?

-Good afternoon. -Huh?

I'm with the local police department,

and I know exactly what you're all doing.

[ALL SCREAMING]

I see you found some change that someone dropped.

Whenever money's lost, even a penny,

it must be reported to the authorities.

Thanks for being such an observant citizen.

Now, if you'll just follow me,

we'll file a report at the station.

The station?

We don't want to get in your way,

so why don't you go ahead and file it without us

and keep the change?

Bye-bye!

MAN: Welcome!

To celebrate the summer's end festival,

we will now display the shrine

of the maiden's greatest treasure.

For 2,000 years, this painting has hung

within the shrine of the maiden.

Once each year, it is removed from the shrine

and displayed to the public during this festival.

As I unveil the painting,

please gaze upon it with reverence.

[LIGHTNING CRACKLES]

[ALL EXCLAIM]

Who's that?

She's cute.

-[GASPS] It's her.

But it can't be.

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

She's so incredibly beautiful.

-She's the girl of my dreams. Don't wake me up.

Stay back!

The woman in this painting perished over 2,000 years ago.

2,000 years.

She was in love with a brave and handsome young man,

but he left her and sailed away to fight in a war.

[ECHOING] -I'll wait for you forever.

Come back to me. Farewell.

And she did wait for a very long time,

hoping to see his ship on the horizon.

But her true love never returned to that place again.

Still, she waited and waited,

never moving from that spot,

until finally her body was turned into stone,

just like the cliff upon which she stood.

To this day, she waits for her love to return.

-Just tell me. Where's this rock?

Maiden Rock is not far from this shrine.

So that's Maiden Rock.

It's the most beautiful rock I've ever seen.

I don't care if she is made of stone.

I'm still in love with her.

If she were my girlfriend,

I'd make sure she was never out of my sight.

No one would ever steal her from me,

not even Team Rocket.

I'll fight them to keep her safe.

James, you're insane.

Why would we steal a thing like that?

We could steal that other thing.

What thing?

Pokémon are valuable,

but so are works of art.

Let's swipe that painting.

If we grab that painting, we could make a bundle.

Jessie! Jessie!

Before you grab it, grab hold of me!

Whoa!

Team Rocket is really slipping.

ASH: No matter how long you wait here,

a rock is a rock, Brock.

MISTY: Yeah, let's go back to the festival.

This is boring.

Why don't you two go back.

I want to stay a little bit longer.

You remember where we're staying tonight, right?

The Pokémon Center near the port.

I'll make it back by curfew.

Don't worry about me. I'll be okay.

-11:00. Curfew time.

Curfew time. Curfew time.

I'm really getting worried.

Brock still isn't back yet.

Hmm.

Huh?

Wait! I'll go out and look for him!

-Hold it! -Oh!

Don't you realize it's your bedtime?

Yes, but-

-Staying up late is bad for your skin,

and it makes you irritable, and it ruins your appetite.

I won't allow it.

Now get to bed this instant.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

[ALARM BEEPING]

What time is it?

Wake up! Time to steal the painting.

Wake up, you two.

Beauty sleep.

Beautiful, I must meet you.

I'm coming to you.

[WIND RUSHES]

Ah!

What's that?

[SCREAMS]

Hmm.

Must be dreaming. Back to sleep.

Meowth.

My love, I'm waiting for you.

Who said that?

Who are you?

It's you!

So it really was you.

-2,000 years. Huh?

I've been waiting for you

for such a long time.

-It's you! It's really you!

-Brock! -Brock, where are you?

Pikachu!

-James? James?

If you're not here, at least come out and tell us.

That's right!

Hey, Brock!

-Hmm? BOTH: huh?

-Oh! -You again.

ALL: Who's that Pokémon?

It's Gastly!

Gastly.

-Yuck. -Double yuck.

I've finally found you.

Wait a minute, you're not the one I was looking for.

Hey, are you looking for somebody too?

Prepare for trouble-

And make it double.

Doing this by myself is a real drag.

To protect the world from devastation,

To unite all peoples within our nation,

To denounce the evils of truth and love...

James[MUFFLED]: 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.

Ooh! -He looks awful.

Worse than usual.

ASH: Brock, what happened?

[BOTH MOANING]

Pull yourself together.

What do you think you're doing?

So everything turned out just as I predicted.

ALL: Huh?

It's the old woman.

Obviously, these two have both

seen the ghost of the maiden.

[TOGETHER] Ghost of the maiden.

-I love her! I love her! -Me too.

-I love her! I love her! -Me too! Me too! Me too!

[BOTH MOANING]

They're possessed.

Pikachu.

Pikachu!

Whoa!

Uh, who am I?

I am Brock.

Brock's back!

I'm James from Team Rocket.

Eeh!

He's back.

But not to normal.

All men who pass this way fall under her spell.

It's always the same story, over and over.

We find them here acting like zombies

with the life sucked out of them,

babbling like idiots.

It's the work of that maiden's ghost,

still waiting for her young soldier to return.

It's just as I warned you.

So what?

Who cares as long as I can be with her?

-[GRUMBLES] He isn't cured.

-I'm scared. You've got to do something!

There is only one thing we can do.

[TOGETHER] What?

We have stickers.

These are anti-ghost stickers.

However... -What's the catch?

I can't just give these stickers away for free.

Ah!

Ah, well.

If it's the only thing that'll help.

We'll stick stickers all over the place.

This'll really work, right?

Shut your mouth.

-Will she come? -Oh, she'll come.

-This better work. -Let's hope.

[WIND RUSHING]

She's here!

[ALL SCREAMING]

It's you.

I've been waiting for you.

Yes, and I've been waiting too.

-I'm scared. Really, really scared.

I wanted to meet you.

And I, you.

-Brock! -But why?

Why aren't the stickers working?

-Maybe because... -We got them...

BOTH: For free.

-Free? What do you mean, free?

A two for one deal.

We got one set free for every set they bought.

It was a real bargain.

You used freebies?

Oops.

I can't believe you're letting that ghost get me,

just because you're both so cheap!

You don't want to go?

Of course I don't want to go.

I don't want to go.

I don't want to go.

I don't want to go!

-Grab him! -Wait, Brock!

Pika!

Hey, let me go!

I don't want to go!

Whoa!

-Hey, girl. You can't take him.

You haven't got a ghost of a chance.

[SPLASH!]

[WHIMPERING]

-Ah! -You really do care.

It's not 'cause of you.

Girls like her disgust me.

Always waiting around for her man,

as if she were his faithful pet.

She can't stand the thought of losing him.

She cries.

But I'd say, "see ya later."

There are plenty more fish in the sea.

I could sure go for some fish.

-I've been waiting. You cannot interfere.

[WIND RUSHING]

[MANIACAL LAUGHTER]

What is that?

Not any Pokémon I know.

[ELECTRONIC VOICE] No Pokémon entry found.

They're not Pokémon?

[MANIACAL LAUGHTER]

[ALL SCREAM]

[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Still searching.

Pokémon entry found.

Gastly. A ghost Pokémon.

It is usually invisible.

It's specialty is hypnosis.

-Gastly? You're really a Pokémon?

So you finally figured it out.

Sometimes I'm the ghost of the 2,000-year-old maiden...

And sometimes, I'm the mysterious old woman.

But no matter what the disguise, I'll always be...

Awfully Gastly.

Well, Gastly, time for a battle.

Pikachu?

My hypnotic powers can work on other Pokémon too-

including little rodents.

Pika.

Stop a rodent...

With a mousetrap.

[SCREAMING]

Mousetraps won't hurt Meowth.

So, Meowth, you want to play games with me?

Here's a cat toy I think you'll enjoy.

-Meowth. Meowth. Meowth.

-Go, Ekans! -Ekans.

A snake's natural enemy is a mongoose.

Dinner time.

[SCREAMS]

Your turn.

Umm, Koffing, Poison Gas Attack.

Koffing!

Huh?

Smoking is prohibited.

My turn now.

Charmander, I choose you.

Char! Char!

Well, now...

Here's something for you, Squirt.

[SCREAMING]

Now who shall I defeat?

[GRUMBLING]

Squirtle, Bulbasaur...

Attack together!

-Bulba! -Squirtle.

-[LAUGHS] What a nuisance.

This is too easy.

Here are Bulbasaur's and Squirtle's evolved forms,

Venusaur and Blastoise.

And just for fun, I'll combine them into one super-Pokémon

to make Venustoise.

Try that on for size.

[BOTH SHOUT]

-We lose. It's just too strong.

Then how about this?

What's that?

It's a cross.

I've also got...

Garlic, a stake, and a hammer.

Uh, what do I look like,

a vampire or something?

[BELL TOLLING]

-Huh? What's happening?

I may not be a vampire, but I hate sunlight.

It's time for me to go until the next festival.

Don't forget the ghost of the maiden.

She and the old lady will return next year too.

That was ghastly.

-Pika. -I'll say.

Hey look, the sun!

At the end of every summer,

the visitors send out these tiny boats,

each one with a candle to help light the way

for any wandering spirits who can't find their way back home.

This summer is over,

but your legend will continue to live on.

Thank you, Gastly.

My pleasure.

I enjoy keeping alive all the old legends

that people have forgotten over the years,

and if I do a good job of it,

I make a few bucks as well.

I'll see you again next festival.

I'll be waiting until that day

when my true love returns to me at last.

Well, I am a ghost Pokémon.

Perhaps one day I'll meet the young man you love,

and if I do, I'll remind him

that his maiden still longs for him to return.

Thank you, and good-bye!

[SIGHS]

If only you were 2,000 years younger.

[SIGHS]

Maybe next year.

[LIVELY PERCUSSIVE MUSIC]

I think I'm doing a bang-up job.

Let's drum up some fun.

Doo-dee-doo-dee-doo-dee-doo.

-A ghost Pokémon. Ghastly.

-Pikachu. -Sorry I'm late.

Chu!

-Come on, Ash. Let's dance.

Uh, sure.

-You too, Pikachu. -Pika!

NARRATOR: And so, the summer festival draws to a close.

There's autumn in the air,

which means that poor Brock won't get back to the beach

until next year.

But cheer up, Brock.

A lot can happen in a year's time.

Who knows what new adventures, and romances,

are waiting just over the horizon.

-Don't go away. The Pokérap is next!

Pokémon!

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

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

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

-Gotta catch 'em all! Gotta catch 'em all!

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!

[SINGING] -Gotta 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.

BOTH: You gotta catch 'em all!

[SINGING] -Catch 'em, catch 'em

Gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all, Pokémon

Catch 'em, catch 'em

Gotta catch 'em all

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
