[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

[GROANS] All right.

Where's this famous Fuchsia Gym we're looking for anyway?

I can't believe there's a Gym

out in the middle of nowhere like this.

-Pikachu. -Hmm.

NARRATOR: As our heroes travel

toward their next adventure at the Fuchsia Gym,

they pass through a deep forest where they find themselves...

[TOGETHER] I think it's that way!

NARRATOR: Completely lost.

Well, let's get going.

I've got to get to that Fuchsia Gym and win another badge.

-Wait a minute. Let's wait for Psyduck.

Psy.

Psyduck, cold water can make a headache even worse.

Psy?

Sometimes I just look at that Psyduck face

and I get a headache.

What beautiful hair.

Suzie's such a great breeder.

Hey, Brock.

How about a trade: That Vulpix for my Psyduck?

No way!

It wouldn't take much time to brush

'cause Psyduck only has... three hairs.

Psy.

-Come on, guys. We better get going.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Hold on!

If we fall, our Pokémon journey's over.

Pikachu.

Ah!

Are you sure Fuchsia Gym is somewhere around here?!

Pika!

[TOGETHER] Huh?

Huh? What's that?

That's weird.

A huge mansion right in the middle of nowhere.

I didn't know any old houses like this still existed.

Well, at least we can ask somebody here

the way to the Fuchsia Gym.

Hello? ls anybody here?

Is anyone home?

Seems deserted.

Hello.

Hmm.

Ah!

Huh? Misty?

Kachu.

What's wrong? Where's Misty?

Chu!

She's gone.

Ash, this is a secret door.

Secret door?

When you touch this wall, it opens.

Ow.

Brock, what kind of crazy place is this?

It sure isn't your run-of-the-mill mansion.

Pikachu.

[TOGETHER] Huh?

[SQUEAKING] Venonat!

What's that?

-[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Venonat. A bug Pokémon.

It's eyes function as radar,

allowing it to see in the dark.

Venonat.

Hey, that's not a run-of-the-mill Pokémon.

Hey, wait up!

Where is the owner of this place?

Venonat!

Say what?

Maybe it wants us to follow it, Ash.

-Chu. -Let's go see.

Yeah!

[ZAPPING] Ah!

Pikachu. Why did you do that to me?

Chu-chu.

Well, if you didn't do it, then...

Ash, look there!

[ZAPPING]

Doesn't look friendly.

Wonder what it is.

[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Voltorb.

The identity of this creature is unknown.

It has an extreme personality,

uses electric attacks,

and at times, self-destructs.

Voltorb.

This place gets weirder and weirder.

Where'd Venonat go?

Look. Over there.

-Hey! Wait up. -[ZAP!]

Whoa!

Ash, what is it? What happened?

It's an invisible wall.

An invisible wall?

[GROANS]

Brock, this place is really giving me the creeps.

Right.

We better get out of here while we have the chance.

Yeah, come on, Ash. Let's go.

[ZAP!]

It's another invisible wall.

[SHOUTS]

I think we've fallen into somebody's trap.

-A trap? -A trap?

I hope they're not trying to trap us

so they can steal our Pokémon.

Huh?

'Cause I don't want them to take away my Vulpix.

Come on, Brock.

We've got to get out of this place.

Maybe there's an exit.

Ah!

Ah!

BOTH: Ash!

Pika-pi!

Oh, no he's gone!

Oh, Ash...

Pikachu.

Hey, guys! I'm still alive.

[TOGETHER] Huh?

Here! Down here.

Come on. Help me up!

Oh, that was close.

This is a dangerous place if you're not careful.

[DOOR CREAKING] [TOGETHER] Huh?

Venonat?

It's you! I'm gonna teach you a lesson!

Come back!

Ah!

Whoa!

BOTH: Ash!

Kachu!

Huh? Where is he?

There must be another way out.

Maybe it's just another trick.

Someone help me.

[LAUGHING MANIACALLY]

Huh?

Born in darkness, living in darkness,

such is the fate of the ninja.

I am Aya, ninja warrior.

But don't you think that color is a little bright for a ninja?

I don't need your fashion report!

But tell me, didn't you enjoy my little star treatment?

You can't just chuck throwing stars around.

It's dangerous.

That's right! Tell her, Brock.

Huh?

[MOANS]

I think that electric pink suits you perfectly,

and you certainly look lovely.

Ah!

Whoa.

[GRUNTS]

This is a training camp.

It was your fault you let your guard down.

My guard down?

I won't let you leave this mansion

without having a Pokemon battle with me first.

Huh?

Venonat.

Oh, that thing.

This Venonat informed me that three stupid-looking people

had entered the mansion.

Venonat. Veno.

For your information we're not the stupid ones around here.

I accept your challenge!

Uh, but first could you let me down from here?

Ah!

One Pokémon for each of us.

Choose yours now.

Bulbasaur, I choose you!

Bulbasaur.

I select Venonat.

Venonat.

Bulbasaur!

Tackle now!

-Bulbasaur! -Venonat, veno!

Venonat Stun Spore.

Bulbasaur Whirlwind.

Now! Vine Whip!

Psybeam now.

Bulbasaur!

Bul... ba... saur...

Hang in there, Bulbasaur!

Now it's time to give it your Leech Seed!

Bulbasaur! Saur.

Venonat?

[CHUCKLES] Leech Seed is sucking away

your Venonat's power.

It's helpless.

Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur.

Return, Venonat.

Good work, Bulbasaur.

A victory for me!

[GRUMBLES]

Voltorb.

It's that Voltorb!

[ALL COUGHING]

You've still got a lot to learn, Aya.

Honored brother, I have failed.

And you're Aya's older brother?

My name is Brock.

You sure have a very nice sister.

It's a pleasure to meet-ah!

This is no time to kiss up, Brock!

None of you will be permitted to leave this venerable mansion

unless you do battle with me.

Who are you?

I am Koga,

The Pokémon master of the Fuchsia Gym.

Oh, so this is the Fuchsia Gym?

That is correct, miss.

Well, at least we're in the right place.

So that's the famous ninja mansion.

Well, I for one am not impressed;

it looks like a Japanese restaurant.

There are lots of precious poisonous Pokémon

in that mansion.

Then let's figure a way to bust into this ninja joint,

snatch the poison Pokémon and hit the road.

Poisonous Pokémon are positively perfect

for perfidious people like us.

What does that mean?

It means beautiful things can be painful.

Ow. That hurt.

-Let's go. -Ooh!

Well, that's fine with me.

We were looking for Fuchsia Gym,

and now I'll win one of your badges.

This Soul Badge will be yours...

if you defeat me, of course.

All right, let's battle.

Who's that Pokémon?

It's Venonat!

Venonat.

We shall have two on two Pokémon battle, young man.

That's fine with me.

I'll start with Pidgeotto!

Then I shall lead with Venonat.

[SHOUTING]

[LAUGHING]

Guess I'll just have to beat this Venonat too.

[LAUGHING]

This Venonat has a great deal more experience.

A metamorphosis attack?

No, it just evolved.

-[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Venomoth. An evolved form of Venonat.

Tiny scales on its wings

disperse various spores when they are flapped.

Uh-oh.

Venomoth, Stun Spore.

Pidgeotto, Whirlwind!

[SCREAMS]

Pidgeotto!

Venomoth, release your Sleep Powder.

Oh...

Pidgeotto, return.

Charmander, go!

Venomoth, Stun Spore.

Charmander! Flamethrower!

Char!

Great job, Charmander.

Huh?

What's that?

BOTH: Welcome to the show.

What's going on here?

Now let our ancient performance begin.

Prepare for trouble.

Ha! Huh! Ho! Ha!

Make it double.

Huh! Ha! Ha!

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-

prepare to fight.

Meowth. That's right.

Now step aside while we pick up

all your pretty little poisonous Pokémon.

Forget it Meowth.

[GROANING]

Jessie, it's too hard to move in these costumes!

A ninja mansion calls for a kabuki star.

We have to wear these outfits!

Yes, but...

If you can't move, we'll lose the Pokémon.

You're right. Let's change.

-Wheezing! -Arbok!

We'll have to join forces to vanquish them.

Right.

Charmander, go! -Char!

Go, Venomoth.

Go, Venonat.

Step right up.

Ah!

[ALL SCREAMING]

-Huh? -Oh.

Ah, Pikachu.

Pika!

You're in the way.

[SCREAMING]

Pikachu!

Pika-pi!

We need you now, Starmie!

Psyduck.

Psyduck! You're not Starmie!

Psy-ay?

[GROANS]

This time I'll choose Staryu.

Psy-ay?

You're Psyduck, not Staryu!

Don't you understand?!

[GRUMBLES] Fine, then.

Go if you want to.

Psyduck. Psy.

[GROANING]

Psy!

Psyduck, you're driving me crazy!

Psy-ay-ay.

Psyduck. Psyduck.

What attacks can Psyduck do?

Here, ask Dexter.

-[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Psyduck's attacks are:

One, Tail Whip.

Psyduck.

Tail Whip attack now!

Psyduck. Psyduck. Psy-ayyyyy...

[ALL GROAN]

How can you call that lame tail wag an attack?

It must have other attacks.

-[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Psyduck attacks.

Number two: Scratch.

-All right, Psyduck. Scratch attack now!

Psyduck!

Psy-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay!

Psy?

Psy!

Psyduck! Psyduck! Psyduck! Psyduck! Psy-ay-ay-ay-ayduck!

What a totally pathetic Pokémon.

Now it's giving me a headache.

I think I have a way out of this.

BOTH: Huh?

What're they?

I don't know what they are,

but they're in the way.

[GRUNTS]

This is a nice little catch.

I don't know what these things are,

but I can use 'em to practice my bowling game.

[WHIMPERING]

That's a Voltorb!

A Voltorb?

Voltorb.

Ah!

[ALL COUGHING]

Hey, Brock.

Do you notice anything weird about this room?

The walls, the beams, the ceiling-

they're all on a slant.

This is a slanted room

to confuse our enemies.

[GROANING]

No good. I can't get it off.

How about your electric attack, Pikachu?

Pikachu!

-Char... -Pikachu.

This gunk isn't affected by electricity.

[LOW RUMBLING] Huh?

There you are.

For some reason I seem to be losing my liqui-ebrium.

BOTH: Whoa!

They built this place like a fun house.

The floor is slanted.

Maybe they'll have some fun with this Voltorb.

Voltorb.

[ALL SCREAM]

Pikachu! Electric attack now.

Pika pika.

Oh, I forgot.

What's with this loser Pokémon?

Psyduck, you're just gonna get hurt out there.

Return!

[GROANING]

Psy-ay-ay-ay!

Let's snatch this Pokémon too.

We don't need Pokémon like that.

-Psy-ay-ay-ayyyy! Psyduck! Psyduck! Psyduck! Psy-ay-ay-ay!

Even rejected by Team Rocket.

It looks like its headache's gettin' worse.

-Ah, look. You come here right now.

Huh?

[SCREAMS]

What's... what's happening?

I... I'm frozen.

I can't move!

Hey, this must be one of Psyduck's attacks.

[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Psyduck's attacks.

Number three: Disable.

Psyduck's attacks.

[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Number Four: Confusion.

[ALL SCREAMING]

Psyduck's attacks are pretty good.

-Yeah. -You're right.

[ALL SCREAMING]

The place looks a lot nicer from the air.

And what else it looks like...

ALL: Team Rocket's blasting off again!

Psy...

-Pika! -Char!

[GROANS]

And you had that kind of power all along?

[ELECTRONIC VOICE] When psyduck's headache becomes severe,

it uses amazing power.

Psy-ay-ay-duck.

That kind of talent's a real pain.

Oh, yeah.

Magnificent.

That was quite an impressive display.

I was very impressed by your performance.

Young lady, would you consider trading

Your Psyduck for my Venomoth?

I'd gladly trade for my Venonat.

Well, I wouldn't trade Psyduck for any Pokémon in the world.

Misty, you couldn't wait to get rid of Psyduck!

A woman's heart can be a very fickle thing, Ash.

A Pokémon like that

would certainly merit one of our Soul Badges.

Uh, that's right.

We still haven't finished our match.

The Pokémon I choose for this battle is Charmander.

And I will choose...

Golbat!

Golbat.

[SIGHS] What's that?

[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Golbat.

Attacking with its sharp fangs,

this Pokémon can drain 300 cubic centimeters

of blood per bite.

Be careful, Charmander.

Golbat. Wing Attack.

-Golbat. Golbat. Golbat. Golbat. Golbat.

Charmander. Ember attack.

Charmander!

Golbat. Golbat.

[GIBBERING]

All right. Good job, Charmander.

Golbat. Golbat. Golbat. Golbat.

Golbat, use your Screech attack.

Golbat. Golbat.

Ooh, I can't stand that noise.

Ah! I'm getting goose bumps.

Charmander, Flamethrower.

Char! Char! Char!

Ouch.

Golbat. Gol-golbat. Golbat.

Okay. Finish off with Fire Spin.

[YELLING]

Golbat. Golbat.

[ALL GASP]

Golbat.

Golbat.

Golbat.

-We did it. -Char char.

You have beaten me.

And Psyduck saved my Voltorb

from being stolen by those thieves.

This Soul Badge rightfully belongs to you.

A Soul Badge! All right!

We both have got a lot to learn about battle.

We will now train even harder, Aya.

Yes, brother.

Yes! I got a Soul Badge!

All right! Whoo-hoo!

NARRATOR: So after earning a Soul Badge,

our heroes continue along on their Pokémon journey.

You know, you did a really great job back there, Psyduck.

I hope success doesn't go to your head.

Psyduck.

-Don't go away. The Pokerap is next.

Pokémon

You guys up for the Pokerap?

-There's 150 Pokémon. You got to name 'em all.

I'm doing 32 today, so try to keep up.

[SINGING] -Catch 'em, catch 'em

gotta catch 'em all, gotta catch 'em all

Pokémon

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

All right, how'd you do?

-Loosen those lips. Shake out that tongue.

-Give it a rest. Today's song is sung.

We'll be back tomorrow.

[SINGING] -Catch 'em, catch 'em

gotta catch 'em all, gotta catch 'em all

Pokémon

[UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC]

[SINGING] -I want to be the very best
