00:07:19,506 --> 00:07:21,339
Maybe I shouldn't have
said anything,
181
00:07:21,441 --> 00:07:24,875
but I thought you might like to
know how real trainers work.
182
00:07:24,978 --> 00:07:27,779
You gotta stop this, Professor,
or there's gonna be a fight.
183
00:07:27,881 --> 00:07:30,748
I'm sorry, Brock, but I'm
a Professor, not a referee.
184
00:07:30,850 --> 00:07:31,750
Hmm.
185
00:07:31,852 --> 00:07:33,551
And here's another little tip.
186
00:07:33,654 --> 00:07:37,189
Different pokémon types do better
against different gym leaders' attacks.
187
00:07:37,291 --> 00:07:40,124
If you study the leader's
attacks before every match,
188
00:07:40,227 --> 00:07:42,093
you can choose the best
pokémon to beat 'em.
189
00:07:42,195 --> 00:07:46,064
Excellent strategy.
That's my grandson.
190
00:07:46,166 --> 00:07:48,800
That's why it's so important
to know what kind of pokémon
191
00:07:48,902 --> 00:07:50,569
can beat your opponents'
attacks.
192
00:07:50,670 --> 00:07:53,404
What kind of pokémon would
you use against my Geodude?
193
00:07:53,506 --> 00:07:56,141
I'd use a water pokémon
against a rock type,
194
00:07:56,243 --> 00:07:58,309
but I'd have a grass pokémon
ready for back-up.
195
00:07:58,411 --> 00:07:59,411
What would you use, ash?
196
00:07:59,446 --> 00:08:01,212
He'd use Pikachu.
197
00:08:01,314 --> 00:08:05,649
Ha! Everybody knows you shouldn't use
an electric pokémon against a rock type.
198
00:08:05,752 --> 00:08:07,518
What a loser!
199
00:08:07,620 --> 00:08:09,954
I'm no loser!
I earned 8 badges!
200
00:08:10,056 --> 00:08:14,225
Maybe so, but how many
pokémon did you capture, ash?
201
00:08:14,327 --> 00:08:17,395
Or are you too embarrassed
to tell me?
202
00:08:17,497 --> 00:08:20,098
Of course I'm not
embarrassed to tell you.
203
00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:21,533
Don't tell him, ash.
204
00:08:21,635 --> 00:08:23,702
It's none of his business
how many pokémon you have.
205
00:08:23,804 --> 00:08:25,044
Professor oak:
Very interesting.
206
00:08:25,138 --> 00:08:26,138
Misty and Brock:
Huh?
207
00:08:28,641 --> 00:08:31,042
I just scanned both
your pokédexes
208
00:08:31,144 --> 00:08:34,112
and the results show that Gary
has seen 60 different pokémon
209
00:08:34,214 --> 00:08:36,214
and ash has seen over 100.
210
00:08:36,316 --> 00:08:39,450
All right!
I beat 'em!
211
00:08:39,552 --> 00:08:41,452
But Gary captured many
more pokémon than ash.
212
00:08:41,554 --> 00:08:42,454
Ohh!
213
00:08:42,556 --> 00:08:43,989
Ahh.
214
00:08:44,091 --> 00:08:46,591
You use you Pokédex every
time you see a pokémon,
215
00:08:46,693 --> 00:08:49,127
but I know so much about
'em I capture 'em first
216
00:08:49,229 --> 00:08:50,528
and ask questions later.
217
00:08:50,630 --> 00:08:52,029
Is that the best way?
218
00:08:52,131 --> 00:08:53,565
Of course it's the best way...
219
00:08:53,667 --> 00:08:55,133
If you know what you're doing.
220
00:08:55,235 --> 00:08:57,268
Grandpa, let's go to your lab
221
00:08:57,371 --> 00:08:59,170
and show 'em all
the pokémon I caught.
222
00:08:59,272 --> 00:09:00,872
Yes, good idea.
223
00:09:00,974 --> 00:09:04,309
Let's poké around
in my laboratory.
224
00:09:04,411 --> 00:09:06,678
Group: Who's that pokémon?
225
00:09:12,052 --> 00:09:12,950
Group: It's...
226
00:09:13,053 --> 00:09:14,218
Slowbro.
227
00:09:18,692 --> 00:09:21,358
Pika.
228
00:09:21,460 --> 00:09:23,294
Well, here they are.
229
00:09:23,397 --> 00:09:26,831
These are the Pokéballs that hold
the pallet town trainers' pokémon.
230
00:09:26,933 --> 00:09:30,268
Wow, Professor! There must
be thousands of pokémon in here.
231
00:09:30,370 --> 00:09:33,237
And these, these are
the ones I received from ash.
232
00:09:33,339 --> 00:09:34,739
Misty: That's a lot
of Pokéballs!
233
00:09:34,841 --> 00:09:38,576
Yes, but they're almost all
tauros from the safari zone.
234
00:09:38,678 --> 00:09:39,678
Ugh!
235
00:09:39,779 --> 00:09:41,179
Pikachu.
236
00:09:41,281 --> 00:09:44,682
On the other hand, Gary's
captured more than 200 pokémon.
237
00:09:44,784 --> 00:09:45,883
Not too bad.
238
00:09:45,985 --> 00:09:47,318
Ahh! 200!
239
00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:49,620
But there's only around
a 150 kinds of pokémon,
240
00:09:49,722 --> 00:09:51,856
you must have captured
more than 1 of some kinds.
241
00:09:51,958 --> 00:09:55,126
You can never have too
many pokémon. That's my motto.
242
00:09:55,228 --> 00:09:58,563
The more pokémon you have, the
better position you're in to win battles.
243
00:09:58,664 --> 00:10:00,965
Ha! You may have
a lot of pokémon,
244
00:10:01,067 --> 00:10:02,766
but I bet they're
not your friends.
245
00:10:02,869 --> 00:10:03,935
Friends?!
246
00:10:04,037 --> 00:10:05,703
Having lots of pokémon
isn't important,
247
00:10:05,805 --> 00:10:07,538
it's what you teach
and what you learn.
248
00:10:07,641 --> 00:10:10,308
I'd say that, too, if I
had as few pokémon as you.
249
00:10:10,410 --> 00:10:13,477
Oh, yeah? The ones I have
are 10 times better than yours!
250
00:10:13,579 --> 00:10:15,913
You're not as good
a trainer as I am.
251
00:10:16,015 --> 00:10:17,448
Why don't you just admit it?
252
00:10:17,550 --> 00:10:19,917
I'm a better trainer
than you'll ever be!
253
00:10:20,019 --> 00:10:24,222
Hmm... you both have very different,
but very valid, views on training pokémon.
254
00:10:24,324 --> 00:10:25,590
Gary and ash: Huh?
255
00:10:25,692 --> 00:10:28,393
On your journeys, you each
captured differnt pokémon,
256
00:10:28,495 --> 00:10:30,061
and with your different
personalties,
257
00:10:30,163 --> 00:10:32,897
you learned to understand and
care for them in different ways.
258
00:10:32,999 --> 00:10:33,999
Yeah.
259
00:10:34,033 --> 00:10:36,367
Guess you're right.
260
00:10:36,469 --> 00:10:39,870
Pokémon are special,
and they need our special care.
261
00:10:39,972 --> 00:10:40,805
Pika.
262
00:10:40,907 --> 00:10:42,774
[Chuckles]
263
00:10:42,876 --> 00:10:46,511
Just like every other living creature, they
deserve our consideration and our respect.
264
00:10:46,613 --> 00:10:50,081
If we care for them the way
we care for those we love,
265
00:10:50,183 --> 00:10:52,150
we'll be able to live in peace,
266
00:10:52,252 --> 00:10:54,885
as we learn about them
and ourselves.
267
00:10:54,988 --> 00:10:57,956
My research has taught me
that we need to deal with pokémon
268
00:10:58,057 --> 00:11:00,658
like we need to deal with
people, as individuals,
269
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,927
if we want to discover
their mysteries.
270
00:11:03,029 --> 00:11:06,698
Is that why you decided to take
care of so many pokémon, Professor?
271
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,433
Yes, it is.
272
00:11:08,535 --> 00:11:12,103
And not only does every pokémon I
care for become part of my research,
273
00:11:12,205 --> 00:11:14,205
but they also become
part of myself.
274
00:11:14,307 --> 00:11:16,140
A part of yourself?!
275
00:11:16,243 --> 00:11:17,443
James: My legs are killing me.
276
00:11:17,544 --> 00:11:18,742
Meowth:
My paws are poundin'!
277
00:11:18,845 --> 00:11:21,779
James: Whose idea was it
to come in the back way?
278
00:11:21,882 --> 00:11:23,080
Meowth:
It wasn't mine.
279
00:11:23,183 --> 00:11:25,283
Jessy: Oh, stop
your complaining.
280
00:11:25,385 --> 00:11:27,685
Professor oak's
research area is gigantic.
281
00:11:27,787 --> 00:11:29,621
Well, I'm getting tired.
282
00:11:29,722 --> 00:11:30,621
Meowth; Well,
let's take a cat nap.
283
00:11:30,723 --> 00:11:32,556
Jessy; Quiet!
Keep walking!
284
00:11:33,759 --> 00:11:35,059
Jessy and James: Aah!
285
00:11:35,161 --> 00:11:37,127
If those are kakuna...
286
00:11:37,229 --> 00:11:38,262
There must be...
287
00:11:38,365 --> 00:11:40,565
Beedrill near by.
Run for your lives!
288
00:11:42,569 --> 00:11:44,568
[Screams]
289
00:11:44,670 --> 00:11:47,249
We should have known they would
be in a pokémon researcher's garden!
290
00:11:47,273 --> 00:11:48,973
Then why didn't we?!
291
00:11:49,075 --> 00:11:50,441
Quit fightin'.
Keep runnin'.
292
00:11:50,543 --> 00:11:52,409
[Screams]
293
00:11:52,511 --> 00:11:53,945
Unh...
Unh..
294
00:11:54,046 --> 00:11:56,347
Get the license plate number.
295
00:11:56,449 --> 00:11:57,348
Huh?
Huh?
296
00:11:57,450 --> 00:11:58,883
All: Snorlax?!
297
00:11:58,985 --> 00:12:00,284
[Snores]
298
00:12:00,386 --> 00:12:01,386
[Screams]
299
00:12:02,455 --> 00:12:03,554
[Screams]
300
00:12:08,861 --> 00:12:12,430
Every morning I start my day
by checking on all the pokémon.
301
00:12:12,532 --> 00:12:16,133
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Good!
302
00:12:16,235 --> 00:12:19,103
Now who needs to come
out of their Pokéballs today?
303
00:12:19,205 --> 00:12:22,139
Then I let the pokémon
out of their Pokéballs,
304
00:12:22,241 --> 00:12:24,709
so they can get a bit of
exercise and fresh air.
305
00:12:24,811 --> 00:12:28,813
Of course I've created special
habitats for each type of pokémon.
306
00:12:28,915 --> 00:12:32,450
Then it's time to feed the
pokémon their breakfast.
307
00:12:32,552 --> 00:12:36,653
You can imagine how long it takes
to feed so many different pokémon.
308
00:12:36,755 --> 00:12:39,924
As soon as I'm done,
it's time for lunch.
309
00:12:40,026 --> 00:12:41,058
[Chuckles]
310
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,828
In the afternoon,
I begin my research.
311
00:12:43,929 --> 00:12:47,798
For example, I've recently been studying
the variations of individual pokémon
312
00:12:47,900 --> 00:12:49,333
of the same types.
313
00:12:49,436 --> 00:12:51,302
The findings are
extremely interesting.
314
00:12:51,404 --> 00:12:54,872
Then there's dinner, and
back into the Pokéballs they go.
315
00:12:54,974 --> 00:12:57,474
And that's basically
what I do every day.
316
00:12:57,576 --> 00:13:00,478
You must learn a lot,
living with so many pokémon.
317
00:13:00,580 --> 00:13:03,714
Yes, living here certainly
gives me a unique opportunity
318
00:13:03,817 --> 00:13:06,917
to research and communicate
with lots of interesting pokémon.
319
00:13:07,019 --> 00:13:08,886
Daa.
320
00:13:08,988 --> 00:13:12,823
Hiya, doduo. How's
everything going today?
321
00:13:12,926 --> 00:13:13,926
Da-da.
322
00:13:14,026 --> 00:13:15,359
Is that your doduo?
323
00:13:15,462 --> 00:13:18,195
Dexter: Doduo,
the twin bird pokémon.
324
00:13:18,297 --> 00:13:20,832
It runs faster than it can fly.
325
00:13:20,934 --> 00:13:22,467
Ohh.
326
00:13:22,569 --> 00:13:25,703
Professor, this is such a great
Place, the pokémon must love it.
327
00:13:25,805 --> 00:13:27,705
I hope so, Brock.
328
00:13:27,807 --> 00:13:31,609
I designed this Place so I could
study pokémon the proper way,
329
00:13:31,711 --> 00:13:33,511
in their natural habitat,
living free.
330
00:13:33,613 --> 00:13:37,181
When pokémon live in an environment
like the one they were born in,
331
00:13:37,283 --> 00:13:40,384
it's easier to observe how they
are affected by their trainers.
332
00:13:40,486 --> 00:13:43,254
In fact, I've just made an
interesting discovery in that area.
333
00:13:43,356 --> 00:13:45,089
Uh, what was it?
334
00:13:45,191 --> 00:13:49,927
Pokémon frequently take on the characteristics
of the humans who capture them.
335
00:13:50,029 --> 00:13:51,195
Huh?
Huh?
336
00:13:51,297 --> 00:13:52,397
Hmm.
Hmm.
337
00:13:52,499 --> 00:13:54,665
Hey, that's true.
Like misty and Psyduck.
338
00:13:54,767 --> 00:13:55,900
Huh? Ridiculous!
339
00:13:56,002 --> 00:13:56,900
Brock: You know what that means?
340
00:13:57,002 --> 00:13:58,002
Huh?
341
00:13:58,071 --> 00:14:00,337
I think I might have
a girlfriend.
342
00:14:00,439 --> 00:14:03,207
Suzie loved her vulpix
and gave it to me.
343
00:14:03,309 --> 00:14:05,276
Now if the vulpix is like me,
344
00:14:05,378 --> 00:14:08,746
and she still loves it,
that means she loves me.
345
00:14:08,848 --> 00:14:11,815
[Sighs] Hey! What's
up with this guy?
346
00:14:11,918 --> 00:14:14,218
He's on vacation
in fantasy land!
347
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,187
Pika.
348
00:14:16,289 --> 00:14:20,291
Of course. This effect only occurs
when a trainer keeps in regular contact
349
00:14:20,393 --> 00:14:22,059
with his or her pokémon.
350
00:14:22,161 --> 00:14:26,764
Because ash always uses the same
pokémon, his krabby and muk stayed here
351
00:14:26,866 --> 00:14:30,400
and so it's not surprising that they've
become somewhat attached to me.
352
00:14:30,503 --> 00:14:32,903
Bub-bub-buh-buh.
353
00:14:33,005 --> 00:14:33,904
All: Huh?
354
00:14:34,006 --> 00:14:35,440
Baah!
355
00:14:35,542 --> 00:14:37,041
[Screams]
356
00:14:37,143 --> 00:14:40,511
No, muk. How many times
have I told you not to do that?
357
00:14:40,613 --> 00:14:42,546
You're muking up
my favorite lab coat.
358
00:14:42,649 --> 00:14:46,584
You see, I told you pokémon
get attached to you, didn't I?
359
00:14:46,685 --> 00:14:48,119
Aah!
360
00:14:48,221 --> 00:14:51,389
[Panting]
361
00:14:51,491 --> 00:14:53,390
We'll have to do
this the hard way.
362
00:14:53,493 --> 00:14:55,727
The hard way's our specialty.
363
00:14:55,829 --> 00:14:58,262
I can hardly stand this.
364
00:14:58,364 --> 00:15:00,264
Quit whining and keep climbing
365
00:15:00,366 --> 00:15:03,101
or we'll never get
that Pikachu! Huh?
366
00:15:03,203 --> 00:15:04,635
Dude.
367
00:15:04,737 --> 00:15:09,107
Go, Geodude!
Huh? Huh?
368
00:15:09,208 --> 00:15:11,141
Sandshrew.
369
00:15:11,243 --> 00:15:15,179
Sandshrew!
[Screams]
370
00:15:15,281 --> 00:15:16,514
Sandshrew!
371
00:15:16,615 --> 00:15:18,348
Oh, my makeup is ruined!
372
00:15:18,450 --> 00:15:20,083
[Rumbling]
373
00:15:20,185 --> 00:15:21,652
James and jessy: Hmm?
374
00:15:21,755 --> 00:15:22,653
James and jessy: Huh?
375
00:15:22,755 --> 00:15:25,122
[Roars]
376
00:15:25,225 --> 00:15:26,524
All: Run for it!
377
00:15:26,626 --> 00:15:29,093
[Roaring]
378
00:15:29,195 --> 00:15:30,795
Oh, wow!
379
00:15:30,897 --> 00:15:33,630
Look at all the water pokémon.
380
00:15:33,732 --> 00:15:36,333
Professor, I bet you
have every kind of pokémon
381
00:15:36,436 --> 00:15:37,935
in the world here, don't you?
382
00:15:38,037 --> 00:15:39,570
Definitely not, ash.
383
00:15:39,672 --> 00:15:42,218
We believe there are lots of
pokémon that no one has ever captured
384
00:15:42,242 --> 00:15:43,741
or even seen.
385
00:15:43,843 --> 00:15:47,378
Yeah, some people used to say
that there were only 150 pokémon.
386
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,313
Then we discovered togepi.
387
00:15:49,415 --> 00:15:50,848
Toge. Toge.
388
00:15:50,950 --> 00:15:53,317
Yeah, come to think of it...
389
00:15:53,420 --> 00:15:57,521
The day I left pallet, I saw a pokémon
that Dexter didn't even know about.
390
00:16:01,594 --> 00:16:03,126
It's still a great mystery.
391
00:16:03,228 --> 00:16:07,064
No one knows how many kinds of
pokémon there are in this world.
392
00:16:07,166 --> 00:16:10,834
Finding new and different
pokémon is a never ending quest.
393
00:16:10,936 --> 00:16:15,039
You know, Professor, I'm going to find
as many new pokémon friends as I can.
394
00:16:15,141 --> 00:16:18,375
Me, too. And I'm gonna
train them to be
395
00:16:18,477 --> 00:16:19,877
as strong as they can be.
396
00:16:24,016 --> 00:16:25,549
They really love pokémon.
397
00:16:25,651 --> 00:16:27,384
Then maybe they can like
each other.
398
00:16:27,486 --> 00:16:28,819
Togepi.
399
00:16:28,922 --> 00:16:32,189
Come on, ash, what do you say
we have a pokémon battle?
400
00:16:32,291 --> 00:16:35,392
We could both use a little
practice before the pokémon league.
401
00:16:35,495 --> 00:16:37,595
All right, Gary,
I'm ready when you are.
402
00:16:37,697 --> 00:16:38,996
Pika. Pika.
403
00:16:39,098 --> 00:16:39,997
[Explosion[ Pi?
404
00:16:40,099 --> 00:16:40,931
Hey, what's that?
405
00:16:41,033 --> 00:16:42,566
Yeah.
406
00:16:42,668 --> 00:16:45,969
That smoke's coming from the
electric pokémon preserve! Let's go!
407
00:16:51,443 --> 00:16:56,813
[Mumbling]
408
00:16:56,915 --> 00:16:59,116
That smoke gets in your eyes.
409
00:16:59,218 --> 00:17:01,085
Show me the way to go home.
410
00:17:01,187 --> 00:17:02,786
I'm tired and I want
to go to bed.
411
00:17:02,888 --> 00:17:03,788
Volare!
412
00:17:03,890 --> 00:17:04,890
Ash: Hey!
413
00:17:04,924 --> 00:17:06,990
I should have known it was you!
414
00:17:07,093 --> 00:17:08,093
Pi-pi Pikachu!
415
00:17:08,127 --> 00:17:10,093
What are you 3 up to this time?
416
00:17:10,196 --> 00:17:11,596
Take a guess.
417
00:17:11,698 --> 00:17:14,098
We followed you here so
we could grab that Pikachu.
418
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,599
We're through pussy-footing
around,
419
00:17:15,701 --> 00:17:18,068
so hand over that little
rat and make it snappy.
420
00:17:18,170 --> 00:17:19,870
It's a talking Meowth?!
421
00:17:19,972 --> 00:17:22,440
Could you possibly say
a few more words, please?
422
00:17:22,542 --> 00:17:24,041
I'd be glad to, Pops.
423
00:17:24,143 --> 00:17:26,277
Clean out your ears
and get a load of this.
424
00:17:26,379 --> 00:17:28,079
May I invite you to prepare...
425
00:17:28,181 --> 00:17:29,613
James and jessy:
For trouble.
426
00:17:29,716 --> 00:17:32,416
Yeah. And while you're at
it, you better make it a triple.
427
00:17:32,518 --> 00:17:35,119
To protect the world
from devastation,
428
00:17:35,221 --> 00:17:37,822
to unite all peoples
within our nation,
429
00:17:37,924 --> 00:17:40,724
to denounce the evils
of truth and love,
430
00:17:40,826 --> 00:17:43,094
to extend our reach
to the stars above.
431
00:17:43,195 --> 00:17:44,094
Jessy.
432
00:17:44,196 --> 00:17:45,096
James.
433
00:17:45,198 --> 00:17:46,198
Meowth.
434
00:17:46,299 --> 00:17:47,609
Jessy: You stay
out of this, Meowth!
435
00:17:47,633 --> 00:17:48,777
James; Stop stealing
our material.
436
00:17:48,801 --> 00:17:49,933
Meowth:
All right, all right!
437
00:17:50,036 --> 00:17:53,070
Team rocket blast off
at the speed of light.
438
00:17:53,172 --> 00:17:56,006
Surrender now or prepare
to fight for that Pikachu!
439
00:17:56,109 --> 00:17:58,009
Meowth!
That's right.
440
00:17:58,111 --> 00:18:01,978
Now hand over that Pikachu and every
other pokémon you got stashed here,
441
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:02,980
or we'll just take 'em.
442
00:18:03,082 --> 00:18:03,981
Right!
Right!
443
00:18:04,083 --> 00:18:05,749
You're not taking anything!
444
00:18:05,851 --> 00:18:08,886
If you want these pokémon
so badly, try and get 'em.
445
00:18:08,988 --> 00:18:10,454
Let's battle!
446
00:18:10,556 --> 00:18:12,122
James, jessy, and Meowth: Aah!
447
00:18:12,225 --> 00:18:13,323
Gary and ash: Aah!
448
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:15,560
Huh?
Huh?
449
00:18:17,463 --> 00:18:19,163
[Screams]
450
00:18:19,265 --> 00:18:20,764
Run!
451
00:18:20,866 --> 00:18:22,099
[Screams]
452
00:18:22,201 --> 00:18:25,402
Oh, why can't good things
happen to bad people.
453
00:18:25,504 --> 00:18:26,537
Who knows?
454
00:18:26,639 --> 00:18:27,982
Well, at least
we didn't get fired!
455
00:18:28,006 --> 00:18:29,173
[Sighs]
456
00:18:29,275 --> 00:18:32,509
All: We're
blasting off again!
457
00:18:32,612 --> 00:18:34,144
Have a nice flight!
458
00:18:34,246 --> 00:18:35,445
Togepi.
459
00:18:35,547 --> 00:18:37,981
Those guys sure know how
to make an exit.
460
00:18:38,083 --> 00:18:41,017
Well, we sure took care
of them, didn't we, Grandpa?
461
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,454
We didn't really
do anything, Gary.
462
00:18:43,556 --> 00:18:44,955
That's not true, ash.
463
00:18:45,057 --> 00:18:47,391
You're the one responsible
for saving my research center.
464
00:18:47,493 --> 00:18:49,026
Ash: I am?
Pika.
465
00:18:49,128 --> 00:18:51,228
All of those tauros
out there are yours.
466
00:18:51,330 --> 00:18:52,563
Huh?
467
00:18:52,665 --> 00:18:54,798
Professor oak: You were
the one who captured them.
468
00:18:54,900 --> 00:18:56,733
And if they hadn't run
team rocket off,
469
00:18:56,836 --> 00:18:59,170
who knows what would have
happened?
470
00:18:59,272 --> 00:19:00,637
I guess you're right.
471
00:19:00,740 --> 00:19:02,172
Good thing they were here.
472
00:19:02,274 --> 00:19:03,374
[Laughs]
473
00:19:03,475 --> 00:19:05,142
I'm gonna head on home now.
474
00:19:05,244 --> 00:19:06,477
I thought we were gonna...
475
00:19:06,579 --> 00:19:08,646
This has been a
long day, and besides,
476
00:19:08,748 --> 00:19:11,849
we can have our battle when
we get to the pokémon league.
477
00:19:11,951 --> 00:19:14,818
You're on. You can lose
to me at the pokémon league.
478
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,688
Huh! You just better make
sure you train as hard as I do.
479
00:19:17,790 --> 00:19:19,623
So you in 2 months, ash.
480
00:19:22,361 --> 00:19:26,497
In 2 months, I'll be competing
in the pokémon league.
481
00:19:26,599 --> 00:19:28,365
2 months seems like forever.
482
00:19:28,467 --> 00:19:30,801
Yeah, but he's got
a lot of work to do.
483
00:19:30,903 --> 00:19:33,437
We'll be ready.
Right, Pikachu?
484
00:19:33,539 --> 00:19:34,438
Pikachu.
485
00:19:34,540 --> 00:19:36,307
Ash: Ha ha. Yeah.
486
00:19:36,409 --> 00:19:39,209
I'm gonna do it! I'm gonna
start working right away.
487
00:19:39,311 --> 00:19:40,543
Professor oak:
Good!
488
00:19:40,646 --> 00:19:42,179
What's this?
489
00:19:42,281 --> 00:19:45,215
You can start working right away
on the fence your tauros broke!
490
00:19:45,317 --> 00:19:46,683
Aah!
491
00:19:46,786 --> 00:19:48,585
Here. Give him a hand.
492
00:19:48,687 --> 00:19:49,587
Huh?
493
00:19:49,689 --> 00:19:50,921
Us, too?
494
00:19:51,023 --> 00:19:53,957
Believe me, helping others,
sharing their burdens,
495
00:19:54,059 --> 00:19:57,027
that's the way to become a
better trainer, a better friend,
496
00:19:57,130 --> 00:19:58,496
and a better person.
497
00:19:58,598 --> 00:19:59,598
[Sighs]
498
00:19:59,665 --> 00:20:02,566
Pika.
Toge. Togepi.

[Ash sighs]
500
00:20:04,736 --> 00:20:09,774
Narrator: And with those wise words,
ash begins to learn much more
501
00:20:09,876 --> 00:20:13,310
about the pokémon league
and about life.
502
00:20:22,955 --> 00:20:27,424
