[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

[SINGING] -Gotta catch 'em all

Gotta catch 'em all

Pokémon

Narrator: Ash and his friends

find themselves in beautiful Grandpa Canyon.

Our heroes will soon discover

that this natural wonder holds an ancient secret.

[ALL GASP]

What's going on down there?

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

I wonder what everybody's doing

with those picks and shovels.

-Don't you know anything? -Huh?

[TRUMPET FANFARE]

Ash, not only late as usual but clueless too.

Hey, it's Gary.

Uh, why are you dressed like that?

Ha!

Don't tell me you never heard

about the Pokémon Discovery.

Even a nerd like you

should have heard about the great fossil rush.

Together: The great fossil rush?

CHEERLEADERS: Gary, Gary he's our man!

If he can't find them, no one can!

Thank you!

Thank you to all my loyal fans!

I got to go.

I got to find all the fossils quick

before anyone else does.

Can't waste my precious time

hanging around with a loser like you.

Loser?

-Easy! -Ash?

That know-it-all!

Ah!

I'm gonna find a Pokémon fossil

before Gary even starts digging.

That'll show him who the real loser is.

I don't feel right

about digging up old Pokémon fossils,

especially after they've been resting in the earth

for such a long time.

If they've been lying underground

for thousands of years,

maybe they'd like a little fresh air.

I think it's your brain that needs fresh air.

Who asked you?

Jigglypuff.

Ha!

Puff, puff!

Jigglypuff!

Puff, puff.

Puff?

[INHALES SHARPLY]

Puff!

[ALL GRUNTING]

[GASPS]

[LAUGHS]

Success!

My first Pokémon fossil!

CHEERLEADERS: Yay!

Gary, Gary, he's the best!

Found a fossil before the rest!

Go, Gary!

Hmm.

Impressive, isn't it?

Found it on my first try.

Looks like a brain from an extinct Pokémon.

-This is- -A brain?

It's fossilized Pokémon manure.

Huh?

[GROANS]

CHEERLEADERS: Ew, yuck! Gross!

Wow.

Look at all the people digging.

Pika.

We better hurry

before all the fossils are dug up.

All these people digging,

but nobody's found any fossils yet.

I wonder if this great fossil rush

is really for real.

Sure it is!

What's taking those two so long?

ALL: Huh?

Humans.

The only thing you can depend on

is that they're always undependable.

BOTH: Ta-da!

Prepare for trouble.

Yes, and 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- Ooh!

-Hiyah! Cut the poetry.

I bet you two clowns didn't even plant the dynamite

like you were supposed to!

Wrong again, furball!

Meowth!

[ROCKS RUMBLE]

Of course we planted the dynamite.

Once we blast Grandpa Canyon to smithereens,

we'll be able to scoop up all those Poké fossils.

[YELLS]

Next time, I'll make fossils out of you!

Did you hear that?

They're gonna blow up this whole canyon!

All the people who are digging here

are gonna get caught in the blast.

Pikachu and I will stop them.

You two, spread the word to run for it.

There's no time to lose!

Let's go!

[LAUGHS EVILLY]

Pretty soon, we'll have all the Pokémon fossils

to ourselves.

[PANTING]

Hold it right there!

Oh, it's that pest again.

Always messing up our plans.

But this time, you're too late.

The fuse is already lit.

Whoa!

I got to stop 'em!

Squirtle, I choose you!

Squirtle, squirtle!

There's no time to lose.

Squirtle, squirt out that fuse.

Squirtle!

Squirtle!

[GURGLING]

Squirtle, after it!

Squirtle!

Whoa! Squirtle.

Pika!

Arbok, go!

Go, Weezing.

Keep that fuse lit.

Weezing!

Arbok.

Squirtle!

You can do it, Squirtle!

Ah, stop that twerp!

[FLAME CRACKLING]

Keep squirting!

Quickly!

Don't let it hit the fuse!

-Come on! They're getting away!

Hurry, you slowpokes!

We got to put it out somehow!

You're running like slugs!

Faster, Arbok!

There's not much time!

Hurry up, Weezing.

Weezing, Sludge Attack now.

[ALL YELLING]

Pika, pika, pika.

We're not gonna get it.

[PANTING]

Huh?

[ALL YELLING]

Oh, look out!

Pika!

Crash!

[ALL YELLING]

[ALL GROANING]

No!

The dynamite!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[ALL SCREAM]

Pika!

[ALL SCREAMING]

Pikachu!

[ELECTRICITY ZAPPING]

ALL: Huh?

Ding!

[LOUD ZAPPING]

[LOUD RUMBLING]

[ALL SCREAMING]

Squirtle.

-Ash! -Pikachu!

Squirtle.

Squirtle!

What a disaster!

We've got to get them out.

Mm, let's go!

Jigglypuff?

Squirtle, squirtle!

Squirtle, squirtle!

Squirtle.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

Jigglypuff.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

[JAZZY MUSIC]

Squirtle, squirtle, squirtle.

[ALL GROAN]

Jiggly?

[INHALES SHARPLY]

Puff!

[WATER DRIPPING]

[GROANS SOFTLY]

Pika.

[ALL GROAN]

Where are we?

Looks like we got blown all the way to the moon.

Or down to the center of the earth.

-Huh? -Huh?

This is a cave.

The dynamite must have blown a hole in the roof

and we fell in.

We must be buried deep under the earth's crust.

BOTH: Buried?

This is all your fault, you twerp!

If you hadn't tried to put out that fuse,

we never would have fallen down here.

Hey, you're the crooks who planted all that dynamite

up there in the first place!

Pikachu!

What difference does it make who got us down here?

All that matters

is getting out of here in one piece.

Look up there!

ALL: Huh?

[ALL YELL]

The roof of the cave is blocked!

Hmm.

[CHUCKLES EVILLY]

James, it sounds like

you have an answer to our problem.

-Hmm? We're all doomed.

Huh?

That's not the answer I wanted to hear!

There must be some way out.

Chu.

Pi?

What's up, Pikachu?

-Pika, pika! -Huh?

[FOREBODING MUSIC]

[BOTH SCREAM]

I don't think we're in here alone.

What are they?

ALL: Who's that Pokémon?

It's Kabutops!

Kabutops.

[ALL QUIVERING]

Let's see.

-[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Omanyte and Omastar.

Kabuto and Kabutops.

It is believed

that these Pokémon became extinct

tens of thousands of years ago.

The details of their behavior is shrouded in mystery.

Though some have speculated that they may still exist,

none of these Pokémon have ever been seen alive.

[BOTH YELL EXCITEDLY]

We're going to be rich!

We'll open a prehistoric Pokémon park

that'll be bigger than Poké World!

Even the boss will be impressed with us.

Ah, I could get my own talk show

or even my own cartoon!

Those Pokémon don't seem as happy about this

as you guys do.

Chu.

Just look at those eyes.

These Pokémon seem really angry.

They look like they just woke up.

Maybe these Pokémon weren't fossilized

but were just sleeping.

That's it!

The dynamite must have woken them up

after thousands of years.

Some alarm clock!

-Ugh! Never mind.

Let's just capture them!

BOTH: Pokéball, go!

Kabu.

[YELLS]

Ka!

-Kabuto. -Omastar.

[POKÉMON GROWLING]

[ALL YELL]

They have us trapped!

There's no place to run!

We have to battle!

Charmeleon, I choose you!

Char!

Charmeleon, use your flame to stop them!

Hmm.

[GROWLS]

Char.

[SIGHS]

It still won't obey me.

Kabutops!

[ALL GROWLING]

[ALL SCREAMING]

[POKÉMON GROWLING]

-Whoa! -Pika!

[ALL YELLING]

[POKÉMON GROWLING]

[ALL YELLING AND GROWLING]

Kabu... tops!

Pika!

Team Rocket blew the canyon up with dynamite!

Ash must be trapped down under these boulders.

You've got to help us!

The bulldozers can't make it down here.

We'll have to dig by hand.

I'll go and get some help.

[BOTH GROAN]

[SIGHS]

Go, Geodude!

Geo.

Geodude!

Help us move this pile of rocks!

Dude.

Geodude, geodude, geodude.

[ALL GRUNTING]

Listen, Ash, you better hold on.

Don't forget you still owe me a new bike.

[ALL YELLING AND GROWLING]

Arbok! Weezing!

What are you doing?

Why are you running away from them?

You have to chase them!

[BOTH GASP]

[GROWLS]

Go on, Pikachu.

Give 'em your Electric Shock!

Pikachu!

[ELECTRICITY ZAPPING]

Pika, pika!

-[SIGHS] -Pika!

Electricity isn't gonna work.

Charmeleon!

Meh.

Char.

Aw!

It's useless!

BOTH: Kabutops!

[SCREAMS]

BOTH: Ka!

Kabutops?

-Huh? -Pika, pi!

[POKÉMON MURMURING]

I don't understand what happened.

A miracle.

This is a miracle!

We're alive!

[DISTANT WHOOSHING]

Oh, no, I hear something else!

[WHOOSHING]

[ALL SCREAM]

Smack!

[GROANS]

[SCREECHES]

[ALL QUIVERING]

-[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Aerodactyl,

an extinct flying Pokémon.

Its hard fangs suggest that it was a carnivore.

Its sharp claws were probably used

to capture prey.

What's a carnivore?

That means it thinks we're dinner!

That must be why the others ran away.

I hope it don't like cat food.

[SCREECHES]

[ALL SCREAMING]

Charmeleon!

Looks like Charmeleon's finally ready to fight!

Good luck!

Char!

[GROANS]

A first-round knockout.

[ALL GROAN]

ALL: Huh?

Ash!

Hey, Ash!

Get us out of here!

And hurry up!

[ALL GASP AND SCREAM]

[SCREECHES]

[YELLS]

Pikachu!

[ROCKS RUMBLING]

Over here!

Hurry up!

Let's go!

[YELLS]

Charmeleon!

Pikachu!

Pikachu, where did Ash go?

Pika!

-Huh? -Huh?

[SCREECHES]

[GROANING]

[SCREECHING]

-Watch out! -Watch out!

Jigglypuff.

Huh?

Jigglypuff!

Jiggly, jiggly, Jigglypuff!

Hey, there's Jigglypuff!

I wonder what it's doing here.

Oh, I get it! -What?

Jigglypuff!

It wants to sing!

I'll get Jigglypuff to sing to Aerodactyl!

Great idea!

Jigglypuff,

if you help us out now,

later we'll listen to your song as much as you want.

-[SQUEALS] Jigglypuff!

[LAUGHS]

Somebody get me down!

[GROWLS]

Char!

Aero!

[SCREECHES]

Char, char, char, char, char.

[ROARS]

[ALL GASP]

Squirtle, squirt.

Pika?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[ZAPPING]

[ROARS LOUDLY]

[FLAMES BLASTING]

Whoa! Charizard!

Amazing!

It evolved into Charizard!

[ROARS]

[SCREECHES] Aero!

[YELLS]

[SCREECHING]

Huh?

Charizard!

[ROARS]

[YELLS]

[GROANS]

Charizard,

you evolved because you wanted to rescue me

when I got into trouble.

I thought you didn't want me as your trainer,

but now I see I was wrong.

[ROARS]

[FLAMES BLAST]

Whoa!

[YELLS]

I was right.

Looks like the only reason Charizard evolved

was to battle Aerodactyl.

[FLAMES BLASTING]

Pika, pi!

Careful, Ash!

Pretty soon,

Ash is gonna be too overcooked

for Aerodactyl to eat.

Please, Jigglypuff, sing us your slumber song.

[ECHOING] Jiggly!

[SINGING] Jigglypuff

Jiggly-y-puff

Jigglypuff

Jiggly

Hey, stay awake, Aerodactyl!

If you fall asleep, we'll both-

-[SINGING] Puff

Jiggly-y-puff

[GROWLS]

[SINGING] Jigglypuff

[BOTH YAWN]

-Pika, pika. -Squirtle.

[ALL YAWNING]

[SINGING] Jigglypuff

Jigglypuff

[GROWLS]

[SINGING] Jiggly

[SCREECHES SOFTLY]

[SINGING] Jigglypuff

Jigglypuff, jigglypuff

Jigglypuff

[CRASH!]

[ROCKS RUMBLE]

Jigglypuff

Jiggly-y-puff

Jigglypuff

Jigglypuff?

Jigglypuff, puff!

Puff!

Puff.

[MARKER SQUEAKS]

Puff.

Jigglypuff.

[SNORING]

Some of you are claiming

that you saw a prehistoric Pokémon here

in the canyon.

That is ridiculous!

Let me assure you,

it was only a dream

caused by Jigglypuff's song.

I must also announce

that due to the danger of further cave collapses,

no more digging will be permitted!

A dream, she says!

It was more like a nightmare!

Hmm.

That Aerodactyl sure didn't seem like a dream.

Cheerleaders: Gary dreams the best!

Better than the rest!

He's the best from east to west!

I guess they're right.

[MUFFLED LAUGHTER]

Where'd Jigglypuff go?

Were you hoping for an encore?

Well, at least it deserved to take a bow.

Jigglypuff and Charizard really saved the day this time!

That Aerodactyl is one of a kind.

It's too bad you couldn't capture it, Ash.

But I think Aerodactyl and the others

would be happier just going back to sleep.

Maybe you're right.

Hey, I almost forgot!

-Huh? -Huh?

I found this when I woke up!

-Huh? -Ah!

Are you sure it's all right

for you to just take that?

What do you mean?

Do you think I should have left it with Joy?

[GRUNTS]

Okay, Ash, I'll raise it for you.

But I could raise it myself.

You would have dropped it and broken it anyway.

I would not!

Don't worry, Ash!

I'll take good care of it!

Hey, wait up!

Give it back!

Finders keepers!

NARRATOR: And so our heroes leave Grandpa Canyon,

resting place of the ancient Pokémon,

with a souvenir.

Hmm.

Maybe they should have just bought the t-shirts.

Meanwhile, another group of tourists

is still enjoying the sights.

[POKÉMON SNORING]

Hey, up there, somebody help us!

We don't want to be extinct too!

[YAWNS]

-Ah! -Shh.

You're gonna wake it up.

[ALL QUIVER]

[SINGING] ALL: Rockabye, Dactyl

please don't eat us

[SNEEZES]

[AERODACTYL SCREECHES]

Don't go away.

The Pokérap is next!

[SINGING] -Pokémon

Okay, guys, we got to rap some Pokémon.

You just do the singing.

I'll take care of the hard part.

Let's get it on.

[SINGING] -I want to be the best

There ever was

To beat all the rest

Yeah, that's my cause

Catch 'em, catch 'em, gotta catch 'em all

Pokémon

I'll search across the land

Look far and wide

Release from my hand

The power that's inside

-32 down. That's it for now.

Tune in tomorrow.

We'll rap at you some more.

There's 150,

so watch Monday through Friday.

You'll catch 'em all!

-[SINGING] Catch 'em, catch 'em

Gotta catch 'em all, gotta catch 'em all
