[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

Gotta catch 'em all

Pokémon

Narrator: After crossing the grasslands,

our heroes find themselves in the Safari Zone

where wild Pokémon roam free,

just waiting to be captured.

[ALL CHITTERING]

Wow this place is like a dream.

Pokémon wherever you look.

It must be the Safari Zone.

Let's start catching them.

Wait a minute, Ash.

We might still be in the Pokémon reserve.

This has to be the Safari Zone.

Just take a look at all these Pokémon.

Ah, it's Chansey!

Here's my chance.

I'm gonna catch it.

[ALL YELL]

Freeze!

Drop that Pokéball.

My name is Jenny, safari ranger.

You're under arrest for Pokémon poaching.

[ALL GASP]

Under arrest?

Pi pikachu.

This is a national Pokémon preservation area.

It's here for the raising and protection of Pokémon.

I'm real sorry.

I didn't know that.

Well, you look like you really didn't know,

so I'm going to let you go with a warning this time.

Oh, thank you.

Well, that's so nice of you, Ranger Jenny.

Well, I'm glad that's all cleared up.

[ALARM BEEPING]

Another poacher!

Let us help you out, Jenny.

We want to make up for what happened before.

-Thanks. Get on in.

Right.

[ENGINE RATTLES]

[ALL YELLING]

MEOWTH: There they are.

We hit the jackpot.

Kangaskhan parent and child Pokémon.

[CACKLES]

All right, you guys, time to get to work.

Prepare for trouble.

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.

While you two are standing around reciting poetry,

the Kangaskhan are gonna get away.

Come on, hurry up!

Be quiet, Meowth.

We know what to do without you yelling.

We have to say our poem, or it just doesn't feel right.

Now stand aside and watch us work.

What are you doing?

We're trying to catch the Pokémon,

not blast them.

Keep quiet and watch.

[ALL GASP]

[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Kangaskhan.

A parent Pokémon.

Once approaching extinction,

they are now protected by law and inhabit the Safari Zone.

Approach with extreme caution.

The Kangaskhan is a rare Pokémon

which raise its children in its pocket.

They will attack viciously and without warning

if they feel their young are threatened in any way.

Wow.

Fire.

[ALL GROWLING]

Hey, what's that?

-Over there! Poachers!

[ALL GASP]

It's Team Rocket!

We've got to stop them!

I'm afraid if we're going to stop them,

we're going to have to run away first.

Both: What?

What's that?

[ALL SNARLING]

Kangaskhan are easily scared, but once they're surprised,

they never stop charging.

[ALL GASP]

That's it.

Charge right into our net.

[ALL GROWL]

[LAUGHS]

Look at all the mighty Kangaskhan

we've caught in our trap.

Well, well, which one shall I pick?

That parent and child sure look nice.

[ALL SQUEAKING AND GROWLING]

We can't let Team Rocket get away with this.

Pikachu.

Look at those poor baby Kangaskhan.

Quick, Jenny, we have to do something to save them.

It's no good.

I overheated the engine on the last stunt.

All: Huh?

[STEAM SCREECHES]

Kanga!

I claim this Pokémon for Team Rocket.

[SCREAMS]

Who did that?

Who's out there?

Kanga!

What's that sound?

Kanga!

Kangas!

Kangas!

Kang!

Kangas kangas.

What does that little savage think he's doing?

You can't have them!

We caught them.

Kangas kangas kang!

[ALL GROWL]

I don't like the way they're looking at us.

They're staring straight at us.

Quit yapping and let's get out of here fast.

Kangas kang!

[ALL GASP]

[ALL SCREAM]

Kangaskhan!

BOTH: Team Rocket's blasting off again.

Kangaskhan!

[ALL YELLING]

Kangas Kangaskhan!

[ALL CHATTERING]

That's amazing how he can command all of those Kangaskhan

with just by yelling like that.

-Hmm, yeah. He's very good.

Just a kid, but he could become a famous Pokémon trainer.

I hear something.

Huh?

Who's that?

Greetings.

Please excuse the noise.

Are you the Safari Zone Pokémon ranger?

Yes.

Let me introduce myself.

I'm Tommy's father.

I came here because I heard

that someone had seen my son, Tommy, in this area.

Your son, Tommy, is here in the Safari Zone?

Papa, I think we have to tell them a little more about Tommy.

-Of course. You're right.

Forgive me.

-Right. -Sure.

You can explain the rest back at the station.

A splendid idea.

It happened five years ago.

Tommy was only three years old when we decided to take him with us

on a family trip around the world.

That's correct.

[POKÉMON SQUEAKING]

See, Tommy, look at all the Pokémon down there.

Here, take a closer look.

Papa, be careful!

Don't worry, my dear.

Tommy's having such a good time.

[SCREAMS]

Tommy!

Don't worry about him, Mama.

He just wants to get a closer look.

What a smart boy our Tommy is.

There's nothing but a parachute left.

Maybe if you had been holding him,

this wouldn't have happened.

It's your fault!

Ever since that day, we've searched high and low,

but we can't find him anywhere.

[WHIMPERS]

Quit that, Pikachu.

You're gonna make me cry too.

It's just like Papa said.

We looked as hard as we could but couldn't find him anywhere.

Then someone sent us a picture of a young boy

who leads a huge pack of Kangaskhan

here in the Safari Zone.

I always knew that this day would come.

Someone was bound to see Tommy somewhere.

I know it's a bother,

but would you consider helping us in our search?

We'll do anything.

Here's the picture.

If Tommy is still alive,

he would be just about this age.

Ah, you mean Tomo.

You won't have to look far.

His address is listed right here in the Safari Zone directory.

[GASPS]

-Really? Thank goodness.

We saw him out in the jungle just before you came.

My friends and I'd be glad

to help you find him if you want us to.

Pika pi.

Oh, please let us help you.

It would be our pleasure.

Thank you all so much.

Now we can finally be united with our son

and live together as a family.

ALL: Who's that Pokémon?

It's Kangaskhan!

Kangaskhan.

Ah, it's lovely riding through the jungle like this.

[ALL GROANING AND PANTING]

How'd we end up with a job like this?

It's because you had to go and volunteer us all.

You're the one who said, "oh, please let us help you."

Why did we have to go and open our big mouths?

I apologize for this.

Papa doesn't get outdoors much,

and he's not in the best of shape.

I admit it.

Pika!

[WHIMPERING]

Wait, what's that?

All: Huh?

-My lumbago. Ow.

[SQUEAKS]

A baby Kangaskhan.

It looks like it's injured.

Leave it to me.

Can you treat it, Brock?

Don't forget, Ash, I've been studying

to be the world's best Pokémon breeder.

You'll be just fine.

This'll sting a little,

but it'll make your wound heal faster.

I promise.

[SCREECHING]

Look out behind you!

[GROANS]

Pika pi!

Tomo!

You hurt Kangaskhan.

That bad.

No, we didn't.

Brock was just trying to help the baby Kangaskhan

because it's hurt.

That is, until you threw your boomerang at him.

Now apologize!

Uh, what's the matter?

You people or Pokémon?

I'm a person, you creep!

Hurry, my dear.

It sounds like they may have found our Tommy.

Huh?

Who you, old man?

I am Papa, this is your Mama,

and you are our son, Tommy.

Tommy, come home with your mommy and daddy.

They Pokémon or peoples?

They're peoples-uh, people!

Tommy these two people are your parents-

Your mother and father.

They've been looking for you for a very long time.

-Mother? Father?

It's no good, Ash.

He doesn't know them.

He was only three when they were separated.

Take a good look.

Try to remember.

This is your mother and your father,

and your real name is Tommy.

Think back, Tommy.

Try to remember, Tommy.

[ALL SINGING] Kangaskhan

[SINGING AND HUMMING]

Tommy.

Do you know me, son?

Do you remember them now, Tommy?

[GROANS]

Tomo Mama Kangaskhan!

Mama Kangaskhan!

[GROANS]

What are you doing, Papa?

He'll be fine.

We'll just take him home and start from scratch.

Look what you've done to him!

Tommy, can you hear me?

Tommy. Tommy!

Tommy, my little boy.

Mama.

Mama!

[LAUGHS]

Tommy.

Tommy!

Tommy.

Are you all right, Tommy?

Mama.

Tommy.

Oh, my little boy remembers me.

That clonk on the head

must have helped bring your son's memory back.

Tommy, my boy, remember Papa?

Doh!

One memory at a time, okay, Papa?

Forgive us, Tommy.

You must have been so lonely.

We'll never be separated again.

Now let's go home.

Your mother and your father have been looking

all over for you for years, Tommy.

I know it's going to be hard to leave the Kangaskhan, Tommy,

but wouldn't it be a whole lot better

to live with your real parents?

Sometimes, the real parent's the one who raises you,

but this is a real unusual situation.

Tomo Mama Kangaskhan,

but this lady Tomo Mama too.

You can't live with both of them, Tommy.

Kangaskhan Mama too!

This lady Mama too!

Tommy head feel bad.

Tommy.

Huh?

I need your help.

Someone's poaching Kangaskhan again.

[ALL GASP]

Oh!

Kanga Kangaskhan!

Tommy!

Come on, let's go.

Kanga!

Tommy must feel that those Kangaskhan

are his real parents after all.

He's completely turned into Tomo.

I guess we'll have to give up.

Don't say that, Mama.

Deep down, Tommy is still our boy.

Papa.

Yes?

[ENGINE RATTLES]

All right, let's get this show on the road.

Now I will present my impression

of an injured Kangaskhan for your enjoyment.

[IN A LOW VOICE] Kangaskhan!

Kangaskhan!

Kangaskhan! Kangaskhan!

[ALL GRUNTING]

Kangaskhan Kangas.

Huh? Huh?

They're headed this way.

They can't tell it's a fake.

[LAUGHS]

Our plan's a success.

We're finally getting our Pokémon.

James, put the Kangaskhan to sleep,

and we'll round them all up!

Firing tranquilizer.

[ALL GRUNTING AND YELLING]

[GROWLING]

[YELLS]

[GRUNTS]

Kangas...

Now's our chance.

Let's get our new Kangaskhan.

Kangas!

You bad Kangaskhan.

Tomo angry!

Kangaskhan?

It's jungle boy.

He ruined our plan last time.

This time, let's show him who's boss.

Rocket Punch.

That Team Rocket.

We got to stop them.

Bulbasaur, I choose you.

Bulbasaur!

Bulbasaur, quick.

Use your Vine Whip now!

Squirtle, I choose you.

Squirtle squirtle.

Squirtle, go!

Give them your Skull Bash Attack.

Squirtle!

Squirtle!

Squirt!

Kanga!

All that banging is giving me a headache.

This ought to fix that.

Huh?

You've been a bad boy.

Tommy!

Pikachu.

Pika.

Charmander, I choose you.

Char!

Pikachu, Charmander,

Thunder Shock and Flamethrower.

Pikachu!

Kanga!

[ALL YELLING]

Great!

Tomo do it!

Oh, no!

Get in quick!

[LAUGHS]

They think they have us beat, do they?

Let's give them a taste of our Super Punch.

One Super Punch coming right up.

All: Huh?

Don't worry!

We're coming to save you, Tommy!

[ALL SCREAMING]

ALL: Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again.

Tommy's parents saved us all.

They sacrificed themselves

so they could save their son's life.

They really loved him.

[WHIMPERS]

[SOBBING]

Pikachu.

[MUFFLED SINGING]

You are my little Tommy

Huh?

Tommy, your father and I decided

that if you love the Kangaskhan so much,

we'll stay here and protect the Pokémon with you.

Let Mama and Papa join your family, Tommy.

All: Huh?

Papa.

Mama.

[YELLS]

We'll be together from now on, Tommy.

Good.

ASH: Do you think Tommy and his parents really can be a family?

BROCK: Ash, they love each other.

They'll be just fine.

It might be tough, though.

After all, they were apart for five years.

And it's gonna be hard for them even to communicate.

Pikachu.

Pika?

Pika pika!

All: Huh?

[LAUGHTER]

ALL: Kangas kangas Kangaskhan!

BOTH: Kangas kangas Kangaskhan!

I think you're right, Brock.

Like I said, they'll be just fine.

Kanga Kangaskhan!

NARRATOR: Seeing the happy family reunited,

Ash remembers his own mother

waiting patiently for him in Pallet.

But now our heroes journey on,

eager for more new adventures and more new Pokémon.

ALL: Kangas kangas Kangaskhan!

[LAUGHTER]

I guess like son like father.

Don't go away.

The Pokérap is next.

Pokémon!

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, gotta catch 'em all

Pokémon, catch 'em, catch 'em

Gotta catch 'em all, gotta catch 'em all

Pokémon, catch 'em, catch 'em
