[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

[BIRDS TWITTERING]

Narrator: Today our heroes find themselves

traveling through the forest,

heading towards Cinnabar Island,

the site of the next Pokémon gym.

There Ash hopes to win his seventh Pokémon badge.

However this forest isn't as peaceful as it seems.

Puff!

Stop, thief!

-A thief? Where?

I bet it's that Team Rocket.

Maybe.

Look, that must be him.

He looks like a thief to me.

Go, Pikachu.

-Pika! Pi!

Pika pi!

What's wrong, Pikachu?

Attack!

Huh?

All: Whoa!

Grrrowlithe!

Sic 'im, Growlithe!

Grrrowlithe!

[SHRIEKS]

All right, Pikachu, Thunder Shock!

Pika pika!

Pikachu!

[YELLING]

All right, Pikachu!

Show that thief who's boss.

[WHISTLE TWEETING]

[BARKING]

Pika?

What's going on?

-Easy. We're not gonna hurt you.

[MOANS]

-How awful! Are you okay?

-Uh, yeah. I think so.

Just what do you think you're doing,

interfering with us?!

-Huh? -Interfering?

But we were just trying to help you

capture that dangerous thief before he got way.

He's not a thief!

He's a police officer training our canine police unit.

Canine police?

These are police Pokémon.

-Huh? -Oh.

[ELECTRONIC VOICE] Growlithe: The puppy Pokémon.

While loyal to its master,

the Growlithe will drive away enemies by barking and biting.

I guess that must make Growlithe a perfect Pokémon

for the police to use.

-You're right. -Pika!

The canine unit.

These Growlithe pups are so well-trained.

And so cute too.

Growwwwl...

-Look out! -Oh, no.

They're not gonna bite us, are they?

Don't worry.

The Growlithe won't bite unless I order them to attack.

Growlithe, line up!

[BARKING]

These people are our new friends.

Say hello, Canine Squad.

[ALL BARK IN UNISON] Growlithe!

Oh, they're so cute.

That's so cool.

Look. A whole pack of police-trained Pokémon.

The boss would certainly love that.

Yeah, but who knows if their bark is worse than their bite?

I believe I have the perfect plan

for capturing those puppies.

That sounds great.

It sounds familiar.

You kids must be exhausted.

I hope you'll be able to eat something.

I guess that's not a problem.

Did you see the way

that Growlithe tackled that guy, Brock?

It was braver than Pikachu.

Pi?

But the officer playing the thief was holding a gun.

You can't expect Pikachu to attack somebody like that.

Brock's right.

I bet you never even thought about how badly

Pikachu could have been hurt.

Of course I did!

Having a Pokémon take on an armed opponent

is very, very dangerous unless it has special training.

I guess that's true.

So far I've only been using my Pokémon to battle

and help capture other Pokémon.

You're thinking of something, Ash.

Wait a minute.

I hope you're not thinking of having Pikachu

train with the police like Growlithe.

What's wrong with that idea?

It'll make Pikachu even stronger.

Officer Jenny, will you train my Pikachu

the way you train the Growlithe?

Pikachu!

Well, this school is for training Growlithe.

We can't admit just any Pokémon.

[YELPS]

Maybe Pikachu just isn't cut out for that kind of training.

You keep saying you want to become

the world's best Pokémon breeder, don't you, Brock?

Well, sure, of course I do.

Well, I want to be the world's best Pokémon trainer,

and I also want my Pikachu to be the best Pokémon

it can possibly be.

Well, if you really want your Pikachu to be the best,

why don't you bring your Pikachu

down to our training class tomorrow?

Do you mean it?

You hear that, Pikachu?

Uh, Pikachu?

[MOANS]

Pika.

[CAWING]

[SNORING]

[WHISTLE TWEETING]

What?

-What's going on, officer Jenny? -Pika pi?

Well, it's time for our class.

What time is it?

It's only 4:00.

Good night.

Pika pika.

Huh?

[WHISTLE TWEETING]

[YELLS]

-Come on. Rise and shine.

It's time for you to start your training class.

[MOANS]

Pi.

Okay, first we'll test you out on the obstacle course.

Here's your chance, Pikachu.

Let's show 'em what you can do.

Don't let that Growlithe beat you.

Pikachu.

Don't worry.

I know you can win.

Actually, Pikachu won't be the only one running this race

because you have to run, too, Ash.

-Me? How come?

Ash, a master will never be respected

if he won't do something he asks his own Pokémon to do.

Really?

I'll be running, too,

so let's get started, shall we, Ash?

Uh, okay.

Looks like Ash is having some second thoughts.

I wonder if this police training will be too tough.

Don't worry.

Pikachu will be fine.

I meant too tough for Ash.

-Huh? Right.

[COOS]

Ready, set, go!

Go for it, Pikachu!

We can beat 'em!

Pika pika pika!

This is too easy.

Pika!

Huh?

[YELLS]

Hey, what's this thing?

How are we gonna get past it?

Pikachu.

-Crawl, Growlithe. -[BARKS]

If they can do it, we can do it too.

This training is tougher than I thought.

Pika!

What's wrong, Pikachu?

Pika pika!

[SCREAMS]

Cut it out, Pikachu!

Climb, Growlithe!

Now we have to climb this thing?

Pika pika.

Okay!

Follow me, Pikachu...

All right!

Pika!

[YELLS]

Pika! Pika!

Pikachu!

[YELLING]

Pikachu!

This police canine training sure is tough.

Are you still gonna go through with it?

Of course I'm going through with it,

'cause I want Pikachu to be the best.

But don't you think Pikachu's a great Pokémon

just the way it is?

Yeah, Pikachu's great,

but I want it to be just as tough as Growlithe.

That's what you want, too, isn't it, Pikachu?

Pika.

Huh?

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Hey, what's going on here?

Prepare for trouble.

Make it double.

Huh?

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 blasts off at the speed of light...

Surrender now or prepare to fight.

-Meowth! That's right.

[BARKING]

Team Rocket.

They wouldn't try to steal these Pokémon.

They must be crazy, breaking into a school for police canine.

Isn't that kind of like saying, "please arrest me?"

These police Pokémon really give me the creeps.

Can't we steal some Pokémon that are more cat-friendly?

You coward!

We can do anything once we get that pack of obedient Growlithe.

They'll do whatever we command.

They'll rob banks whenever we see 'em.

They'll steal artworks from every museum.

We'll be the richest criminals of all time!

The queen, the king, the cat of crime!

Luckily your dream won't come true.

These police Growlithe would never do anything

to break the law.

Don't bet on it.

[CHUCKLES]

Wait till they try...

Team Rocket's esopho-gas.

[YELLING]

ALL: Who's that Pokémon?

It's Growlithe!

Growlithe!

[COUGHING]

Now those Growlithe won't be able to use their noses.

Right!

Time for our next move.

Ready when you are.

Take a sniff of this.

Just a whiff of this...

Together: And hear the metamorphosis.

[LAUGHTER]

Uh...

[GROWLING]

-[HIGH-PITCHED] What kind of gas is this?

Yeow!

What happened to my voice?

I sound like one of the chipmunks.

Something's wrong with my voice.

That gas they just sprayed

makes your voice get high and squeaky.

Pika pi!

Pika!

Pikachu.

Our plan is working.

Yes, we're certainly hitting a career high note.

I don't know what you're planning,

but I'm placing you under arrest for trespassing.

All right, Growlithe.

Round them up!

Huh?

What's the matter, Growlithe?

Arrest them!

The Growlithe can't understand Jenny's order

now that her voice has changed.

If these Growlithe can't use their sense of smell

and they can't understand Jenny's orders,

they're useless as police Pokémon.

Uh.

[LAUGHS]

Their plan's workin'!

[LAUGHS]

Shall we move on to phase two?

Sounds good to me

All right then.

A little changing music.

Hmm. Pass me that, will you?

No, that's mine.

Almost ready.

Oh, hand me those pumps.

-Ta-da! -Ta-da!

And now for one more change.

This synthesizer will make me sound just like officer Jenny.

Sit, Growlithe!

Beg, Growlithe!

Lie down!

What's wrong with all of you?

That's not me. That's Team Rocket!

Don't listen to them!

All right, Growlithe, listen to me.

I want you to place that woman under house arrest.

No, please!

No, stop it, Growlithe!

Well, that about wraps things up.

Mm-hmm.

Line up, Growlithe.

No, please don't go!

[BARKING]

Attention, Growlithe.

Now, Meowth, open the hatch.

Roger!

Everybody, in the van.

-Hold it! -Huh?

You can't take those Growlithe!

And just how are you going to stop us, squeaky?

Why don't we teach them all a lesson before we go?

Why not?

Growlithe, about face.

Surround them.

[GROWLING]

Uh-oh.

I know!

We'll use our Pokémon to battle them.

Oh.

[YELLS]

What's wrong now, Ash?

I left my Pokéballs behind.

I didn't bring mine either.

I left mine in my backpack.

We're in trouble.

You said it.

Don't let the bad criminals get away from Growlithe.

Uh...

[ZAPPING]

Pika pika!

Uh, Pikachu?

This is perfect!

We'll catch a Pikachu too!

Aren't we lucky?

I should say.

This should be interesting.

Let's see.

Pikachu!

Pikachu!

I want you to get in the car with these Growlithe.

Come on, hurry up!

Don't go!

That may sound like me, but it's Team Rocket!

Pika pi?

He's lying!

My voice doesn't sound that messed up.

Get in the van. Hurry!

Pikachu, don't!

Huh?

Pika!

Why didn't it work?

Pika pi!

Pikachu.

Pikachu knew?

Ash and Pikachu recognize what's in each other's hearts,

So Pikachu can't be fooled by somebody using a fake voice.

Oh, who cares?

Growlithe, get that Pikachu and its trainer now!

[BARKING]

[ALL YELL]

Kachu!

[ZAPPING AND YOWLING]

Quit fooling around and get them!

Pikachu!

[ZAPPING AND YOWLING]

Chu!

[ZAPPING AND YOWLING]

Kachu!

[ZAPPING AND YOWLING]

Pikachu!

Pikachu!

Kachu!

[ZAPPING AND YOWLING]

Chu.

Oh, Pikachu!

Please, tell me what's wrong, Pikachu.

Pikachu.

You're dizzy from using too much electricity.

Pika.

[GROWLING]

This looks bad.

Huh?

Jigglypuff.

[SINGING] Jigglypuff

Huh?

Nice song, Jigglypuff.

Listen to me, Growlithe.

Team Rocket are the bad guys.

Together: This looks bad.

Take care of them quickly.

[SNARLING]

Good Growlithe.

Nice Growlithe.

Hey, wait for me!

Growlithe, are you okay?

[GROWLING]

Row.

[BARKS]

Growlithe, you remember me!

What are you doing, Growlithe?

Don't lick her! Attack her!

[SNARLING]

Attack them!

They're the enemy!

Do what we tell you,

you dimwit dogs!

[GROWLING]

-[AS JAMES] Not us! get them!

-[AS JESSIE] Hey, that's my voice!

[AS MEOWTH]- I told you "don't get us, get them!"

Uh, wrong voice.

[GROWLING]

I knew this wouldn't work.

[TIRES SQUEALING]

Together: Huh?

What are you doing, Meowth?

You come back here!

-They should have known. I'm just a scaredy-cat.

[GROWLING]

[SCREAMING]

-Ah! Let me out!

[BARKING]

-Meowth, wait! -Slow down!

-Let us in! -Yeah!

I sure made a big mistake.

Pikachu doesn't have to train with a canine squad

to be the perfect Pokémon.

Pikachu!

I like Pikachu just the way it is.

You two recognize what's in each other's hearts,

and that's what counts.

I'll try to keep that in mind.

[LAUGHS]

So will we.

Well, keep up the good work,

both of you.

[AS JENNY] I'd like Brock to know what's in my heart.

Huh?

Brock's so good-looking,

and he's so talented.

I just love him so much.

Brock is the coolest!

You are pathetic.

[MOANS]

[LAUGHS]

Narrator: A strong thread

joins Ash and Pikachu's hearts together.

It is a bond of friendship that will keep them safe

no matter what lies on the road ahead.

With their courage renewed,

our heroes continue their journey to Cinnabar Island

and their next exciting Pokémon adventure.

Uh-oh.

Ah, Jigglypuff!

Don't go away.

The Pokérap is next!

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

-[SINGING] 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
