[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

NARRATOR: Ash's quest to become a Pokémon master

brings our heroes to a vast desert.

So where's that town you were talking about, Brock?

It's dark already.

You don't think we're gonna camp out

in a place like this, do you?

Chill out.

It's gotta be around here somewhere.

-Wow! That must be it!

Look at all the lights!

Wow, it sure is bright.

Pikachu.

-I knew it. This is Neon Town.

[ELECTRONIC BEEPING]

-Doh! What rotten luck!

People love to come here

'cause it's open all day and all night.

It never closes?

There's action 24 hours a day.

Wow.

[BOTH GRUNT]

Hey, watch where you're going, you jerk!

You watch it!

You're the one who bumped into me!

Oh, yeah?

[BOTH SNARLING]

-Hey, Ash. Just apologize!

He should apologize!

He's the one who bumped into me!

Why you little-

[SIREN WAILING]

-All right. Break it up, you two.

There's no fighting here.

Eh, that little runt's not worth it.

You kids shouldn't be walking the streets at night.

I'm sorry, Officer, but we just got into town.

Then you go find yourselves a hotel or something.

People around here are pretty short-tempered.

Short-tempered?

Pi?

They're on edge because they stay out all night

and don't get enough sleep!

You kids should find a hotel,

get a good night's rest, and mind your own business.

What do you think you're doing?

-Shut up! -There's another one.

This Jenny seems a little edgy too.

I just love all these bright lights.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Watch where you're going!

Oh, yeah?

You walk into me, and then you start complaining?

You walked into him!

Huh? Huh?

That hurt.

I'll make you pay for that.

[ALL SCREAMING]

I think we should prepare for trouble!

[ALL SHOUTING AT ONCE]

[YAWNS]

I don't believe it!

Everyone in town is already awake!

Look at them!

I wonder when they sleep.

-Break it up! Calm down!

Move along.

Let's just keep moving.

Yeah, this place makes me nervous.

Ah, it's much nicer here in the woods where it's quiet.

Yeah, it was so loud in Neon Town,

I couldn't get any sleep.

Hey, what's that?

Isn't that a Jigglipuff?

Jiggly!

You're right, Brock, it's a Jigglipuff.

I've always wanted one of those.

I thought you only liked water Pokémon.

I do, but I like this one too.

I'll capture it.

Staryu, go!

Psy!

Psyduck, I didn't want you!

Return!

Staryu!

Double Edge!

[SQUEALS]

What's wrong?

It looks like it's crying.

There's something strange about it.

I wonder what its problem is.

[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Jigglipuff, a balloon Pokémon.

It has large, friendly eyes,

and it sings a pleasant song.

A Pokémon that sings?

Oh, that's so cute!

Sing for us.

Puff.

What's the matter?

Please, sing us a song.

[SIGHS]

Is something wrong?

Jigglipuff...

[SIGHS]

I think it's saying that it can't sing.

Hmm-hmm.

I see, a Jigglipuff that can't sing.

So that's why it didn't attack.

Oh, I'm sorry I bothered you, little Jigglipuff.

-Jigglipuff! Jiggly-jiggly.

I still think it's cute,

but who wants a Jigglipuff that can't sing?

[GASPS]

Jigglipuff...

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Hey, I know.

Why don't we see if we can help

this little Jigglipuff to sing?

Good idea.

We can't just leave it here alone.

Jiggly!

[LAUGHS]

It looks like those kids found a Jigglipuff.

A Jigglipuff?

A Jigglipuff's songs have the power

to put people to sleep.

Then I got a great idea!

We get that jiggly thing

to sing to everybody in Neon Town.

And when it does...

It's nap time for Neon Town.

And then we grab anything and everything we want.

That'll teach 'em not to mess with us!

Finally, Team Rocket is about to enjoy the success

we so richly deserve.

Let's get on with it.

ALL: Right!

Greetings, you Pokémon pip-squeaks.

-Huh? What are those guys doing here?

Pump it up to the max.

[DRIVING ROCK MUSIC]

[BOTH SINGING] You know us as Team Rocket

And we fight for what is wrong

We're tired of our motto

So we thought we'd try a song.

-Jessie -James

BOTH: The speed of light, prepare to fight

Meowth, that's right!

I am the handsome one

I'm the gorgeous one

BOTH: Looking good is lots of fun

We get some things wrong

But we keep rolling along

ALL: We want to capture Pikachu

We hope to do it soon

And when we do, we'll be the new

Stars of this...

Cartoon!

You need to work on your timing!

You were late on the last verse!

But my pitch was perfect.

So what's your crummy plan this time?

We need Jigglipuff

to sing one of its little lullabies for us.

Its lullabies?

Jigglipuff's gonna sing Team Rocket right to the top!

Hey, Ash, this looks bad.

I choose you, Bulbasaur!

Bulbasaur!

Take care of them.

Get them, Weezing!

Weezing!

Weezing, Poison Gas Attack!

Bulbasaur, Vine Whip!

Bulbasaur!

[GROANING]

[ALL GASPING]

Weezing!

[ALL COUGHING]

Okay, Staryu!

[ALL GRUNTING]

[SINGING] Do re mi fa so la ti do

Do ti la so fa mi re do

Like that!

See how I control my breathing as I sing the notes?

You're a great voice teacher, Misty.

-Okay. Now it's your turn.

[WHIMPERS]

It doesn't look like it really wants to sing.

-[SINGING] Pika, pika, pika, pi

-Ha, very good, Pikachu. -Pika!

[GRUMBLING]

Hey, Ash.

You're hurting Jigglipuff's feelings.

[GRUNTS]

[CHIRPS] -Pika? Pika?

-What is it, Pikachu? -Kachu.

Now you try it.

Fill up the balloon like this.

It'll help make your lungs bigger and stronger.

-[SIGHS] [ALL GROAN]

-I told you. It doesn't want to.

-Take it. Here you go.

-Hmm? [SQUEALS]

-Forget it. This isn't working.

Let's see.

There it is.

Here, look at this.

What's that, Brock?

The juice of this fruit has very special properties.

It has the power to heal your throat if it's sore or tired.

Ah.

If Jigglipuff eats it, it might start singing.

Would you like to try some?

-Give it a try, Jigglipuff. -Jiggly.

-Wow! This just might be the answer!

[MUNCHING]

Puff! -[LAUGHS]

-[SINGING] Jigglipuff

Jiggly...

Puff

-Hooray! -Jiggly, jiggly!

[LAUGHTER]

Pika, pika! Pikachu!

Jigglipuff.

[GIGGLES]

Now sing your song for us, Jigglipuff.

Jiggly.

[CHIRPING]

Pi, pi, pi?

BOTH: Hmm?

What's the matter, Pikachu?

Pikachu.

ALL: Who's that Pokémon?

-It's Jigglipuff! -Jigglipuff!

Please sing for us, Jigglipuff.

Jiggly.

[SINGING] Jigglipuff, jigglipuff

Jigglipuff

Jiggly

Jigglipuff, jiggly...

Good thinkin', Jessie.

Why go through the trouble of capturing Jigglipuff...

When all we want is its voice?

We'll just record it and use it ourselves.

We got it made.

It's over there.

Time to record.

[SINGING] Jigglipuff

Jigglipuff, jiggly

Puff?

Jiggly? Jiggly?

Puff!

Jiggly... puff.

[MARKER SQUEAKING]

Jiggly.

-[MEOWING] -Puff?

[ALL SNORING]

-Jiggly. Jiggly, jiggly.

Puff!

Jig-ly-puff! Jig-ly-puff!

Jig-ly-puff!

[ALL SNORING]

Puff!

[ALL YAWNING]

What a nice nap.

[ALL YAWNING]

What happened to your face?

BOTH: Huh? Ah!

-Huh? -Hmm!

What's wrong, Jigglipuff?

-Jiggly. -What's it mad at?

I don't know.

Maybe it's mad

'cause we fell asleep while it was singing.

Eh, no way.

Why would it be mad about something like that?

I wouldn't be too happy if people fell asleep

while I was performing for them.

BOTH: Neither would I.

We're sorry, little Jigglipuff.

-Puff! -[SIGHS]

I've got it!

Maybe there are some Pokémon that wouldn't fall asleep.

-[SINGING] Jigglipuff

Jiggly... puff

Jigglipuff, jiggly

[ALL SNORING]

Jigglipuff

Jiggly...

Puff!

Oh, they all fell asleep.

Jigglipuff's song is strong.

-I know! BOTH: Hmm?

We should let it sing to Psyduck.

Psyduck's too doofy to know

whether it's awake or asleep anyway!

Great.

[SINGING] Jigglipuff

Jiggly... puff

Jigglipuff, jiggly

[ALL SNORING]

Hmm?

Mmm...

Hey!

Psyduck stayed awake and heard you sing.

Good old Psyduck.

You finally did something right.

Puff!

What are you angry about now, Jigglipuff?

Psyduck listened to the whole thing.

-Puff! -What's wrong?

Hmm?

You stupid Pokémon!

You're just sleeping with your eyes open!

Psy!

[ALL SCREAM]

-Who did this? -How dare they?

Wait a sec!

We gotta check to see if we got the Jigglipuff on tape.

BOTH: Oh. Good idea.

[ALL SNORING]

-What is that awful sound? -It's all of us snoring!

What are we supposed to do with that?

What else can we do for it?

It must be frustrating to have such a beautiful voice

and have no one listen to the whole song.

I know.

Neon Town's the perfect place for it.

Hey, that's right!

Since those people never seem to have to sleep...

They'll be able to listen to Jigglipuff sing!

Now you'll get to sing

for all the people in Neon Town, Jigglipuff!

Jiggly!

Did you hear that?

Those fools are going to do

exactly what we'd planned to do with Jigglipuff.

With enemies like that, who needs friends?

[CHUCKLES]

Now where can it sing

so that everyone will be able to hear it?

It would be great if we could find

an outdoor stage someplace.

Let's ask somebody.

An outdoor stage?

Yes, do you know where we can find a place like that?

Hey, there's nothing like that anywhere in town!

Now get lost! I'm busy!

Oh, what a big jerk.

-Worse than a jerk. He was out-and-out mean.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Hey, we heard you're the ones

who are looking for an outdoor stage.

BOTH: Huh? -Yeah, that's right. We are.

You can go ahead and use ours if you want to.

ALL: Huh?

Hey, all right!

-[LAUGHS] Cool!

We can really use it?

Sure, we love to showcase new talent.

Crank the speakers up to 11!

-Thank you very much. This is great!

We finally met someone in Neon Town who's nice.

[BOTH GIGGLING]

This will be perfect.

Isn't this great, Jigglipuff?

You can sing from the stage.

Jigglipuff! Jigglipuff!

How sweet.

Now everyone in town will hear.

And afterwards, the town is ours for the taking!

-Hey. Don't forget these things.

Oh, our earplugs, of course.

-Huh, what's that? -Hmm?

[SINGING] Jigglipuff

Jiggly... puff

Jigglipuff, jiggly

-That song. -What's that song?

Jigglipuff, jiggly... puff

-Hmm? -Huh?

Jigglipuff, jiggly

-Where's that coming from? -What is that?

Jigglipuff, jigglipuff

Jigglipuff, jiggly

I don't think my ears are plugged enough.

[ALL SNORING]

Jigglipuff, jiggly... puff

Jigglipuff, jiggly

Jigglipuff, jiggly... puff

Jigglipuff, jiggly

Hmm?

Puff!

[MARKER SQUEAKING]

[YAWNS]

What a great nap that was!

[ALL YAWNING]

Uh-oh.

Everybody in town fell asleep.

It sure seems so.

[ALL YAWNING]

I wonder where Jigglipuff went to.

Oh, I bet it's pretty mad.

I wanted to tell you,

I'm really sorry about starting that fight with you yesterday.

-Oh, no, no. It was my fault.

Huh?

Jigglipuff's song not only puts people to sleep,

but maybe it has the power to make people nicer too.

-Hey. It's you. -Huh?

I just wanted to apologize

for bumping into you like that last night.

Uh, you're that guy.

-Yeah, I'm sorry. -That's okay.

Thanks for the apology.

So where's Jigglipuff gone?

Did it get mad and run off somewhere?

Jigglipuff!

We've failed again.

The earplugs didn't even work.

But the skies are blue, and the air is so fresh.

Isn't life great?

[LAUGHTER]

-[SINGING] Tra, la-la, la-la

This is great.

Everyone in town is so happy now.

Yeah, everyone needs a good rest now and then to recharge.

But where could Jigglipuff have run off to?

I wanted to capture it.

Maybe it started its own quest

to find someone who can hear its song all the way through.

I hope we meet Jigglipuff again.

NARRATOR: After hearing Jigglipuff's song

and resting up, our heroes continue their journey

refreshed in mind, body, and spirit.

-Puff! NARRATOR: Huh?

Jigglipuff!

Jigglipuff, jigglipuff

Jiggly, jiggly, jig!

NARRATOR: Wait for Jigglipuff!

-Don't go away! The Pokérap is next!

Pokémon!

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

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
