The next trainer
will be ash Ketchum

5
00:00:12,213 --> 00:00:13,479
from pallet town.

6
00:00:13,581 --> 00:00:14,480
That's me.

7
00:00:14,582 --> 00:00:15,748
Let's see.

8
00:00:18,553 --> 00:00:21,688
Receptionist: A-3. That
means your next opponent

9
00:00:21,790 --> 00:00:22,790
is going to be...

10
00:00:25,994 --> 00:00:28,294
Narrator: While thwarting
another team rocket scheme,

11
00:00:28,396 --> 00:00:30,563
ash and Richie quickly
became friends.

12
00:00:30,665 --> 00:00:32,431
But now a twist of fate

13
00:00:32,534 --> 00:00:33,711
will pit then against each other

14
00:00:33,735 --> 00:00:35,235
in the 5th round of battle

15
00:00:35,337 --> 00:00:37,170
in the pokémon league
competition.

16
00:00:37,272 --> 00:00:38,838
Both are determined to triumph,

17
00:00:38,940 --> 00:00:40,606
but who will emerge victorious?

18
00:00:40,709 --> 00:00:42,108
And can their friendship

19
00:00:42,210 --> 00:00:43,275
survive the struggle?

20
00:00:56,724 --> 00:00:59,526
Why's my next match have
to be against Richie?

21
00:01:01,496 --> 00:01:03,196
Everything happens to me.

22
00:01:03,298 --> 00:01:04,564
Pika.

23
00:01:05,934 --> 00:01:08,434
Misty: Hey, ash!
Check this out.

24
00:01:08,537 --> 00:01:09,635
What are you doing?

25
00:01:09,737 --> 00:01:11,417
I clicked onto the
pokémon league database,

26
00:01:11,472 --> 00:01:12,772
and it has lots of information

27
00:01:12,874 --> 00:01:14,907
about all the trainers,
including Richie.

28
00:01:15,009 --> 00:01:17,076
Something about Richie?

29
00:01:17,178 --> 00:01:18,978
Brock: Richie won
all 4 rounds

30
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,680
without losing any pokémon.

31
00:01:20,782 --> 00:01:22,849
This kid's amazing.

32
00:01:22,951 --> 00:01:24,650
Well, I won 4 rounds,
too, you know!

33
00:01:24,752 --> 00:01:25,852
Yeah, you were lucky,

34
00:01:25,953 --> 00:01:27,686
but Richie really
knows what he's doing.

35
00:01:27,788 --> 00:01:28,888
Aww...

36
00:01:28,990 --> 00:01:31,324
Misty: And Richie's
only used 3 pokémon:

37
00:01:31,426 --> 00:01:32,325
Butterfree,

38
00:01:32,427 --> 00:01:33,325
Charmander,

39
00:01:33,427 --> 00:01:34,427
and Pikachu.

40
00:01:34,462 --> 00:01:36,696
An electric type, a flame type,

41
00:01:36,797 --> 00:01:38,131
and a flying type.

42
00:01:38,233 --> 00:01:40,600
They're almost the same
kind of pokémon you use, ash.

43
00:01:40,701 --> 00:01:42,101
That means it all depends

44
00:01:42,203 --> 00:01:43,870
on which one's
the better trainer.

45
00:01:43,972 --> 00:01:45,271
You're in trouble.

46
00:01:45,373 --> 00:01:48,240
I'm just as good
a trainer as Richie is.

47
00:01:48,342 --> 00:01:50,376
It must be nice to dream

48
00:01:50,478 --> 00:01:51,778
when you're wide awake.

49
00:01:53,315 --> 00:01:54,425
You'll cry from being jealous

50
00:01:54,449 --> 00:01:55,348
when I win.

51
00:01:55,449 --> 00:01:56,515
I don't know, ash.

52
00:01:56,618 --> 00:01:58,451
Battling against
a friend won't be easy.

53
00:01:58,553 --> 00:02:01,587
Richie may be a friend,
but he's a competitor, too!

54
00:02:01,689 --> 00:02:04,957
And nothing's gonna keep me
from winning that match tomorrow.

55
00:02:05,059 --> 00:02:06,059
Pika!

56
00:02:08,596 --> 00:02:09,996
Richie: Excuse me, Miss.

57
00:02:10,098 --> 00:02:12,832
I'd like to pick up the pokémon
I left yesterday, please.

58
00:02:12,934 --> 00:02:14,166
I have them all right here

59
00:02:14,268 --> 00:02:15,601
waiting for you, Richie,

60
00:02:15,704 --> 00:02:18,137
and they're ready for
your big battle today.

61
00:02:18,239 --> 00:02:19,805
Great, thank you very much.

62
00:02:19,907 --> 00:02:20,907
Joy: Good luck!

63
00:02:20,976 --> 00:02:21,976
Richie: Thanks!

64
00:02:24,379 --> 00:02:25,379
Oh, hi, ash.

65
00:02:25,446 --> 00:02:26,679
Hi, Richie.

66
00:02:26,781 --> 00:02:28,314
Are you ready for the match?

67
00:02:28,416 --> 00:02:30,683
Listen, ash. Because
we're friends,

68
00:02:30,785 --> 00:02:31,905
we should promise each other

69
00:02:31,986 --> 00:02:33,385
to make this the best battle

70
00:02:33,488 --> 00:02:34,520
that we've ever had.

71
00:02:34,622 --> 00:02:37,757
OK, that's a promise, Richie.

72
00:02:37,859 --> 00:02:39,959
I'll see ya later
at the stadium.

73
00:02:40,061 --> 00:02:41,694
OK!
Bye!

74
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,432
Joy: Ash?

75
00:02:46,534 --> 00:02:47,967
All your pokémon are ready

76
00:02:48,069 --> 00:02:49,569
for today's match, too.

77
00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:51,237
Oh, thanks, nurse joy.

78
00:02:51,339 --> 00:02:52,639
I think you're very lucky

79
00:02:52,741 --> 00:02:53,639
to be battling a friend.

80
00:02:53,741 --> 00:02:54,840
Huh?

81
00:02:54,942 --> 00:02:56,420
Even if you don't win
the match yourself,

82
00:02:56,444 --> 00:02:58,844
you can still be happy
because your friend won.

83
00:02:58,946 --> 00:03:00,113
That makes it nice.

84
00:03:00,215 --> 00:03:02,182
Uh... yeah!

85
00:03:02,284 --> 00:03:03,549
And I'm sure you and Richie

86
00:03:03,651 --> 00:03:05,652
will do your best
no matter what.

87
00:03:05,754 --> 00:03:07,153
Ash: Oh, we will.

88
00:03:07,255 --> 00:03:09,989
Hmm, those kids
are really friends.

89
00:03:10,091 --> 00:03:12,124
Friends are very nice to have.

90
00:03:12,226 --> 00:03:13,226
There was something that

91
00:03:13,328 --> 00:03:14,605
prevented me from having friends

92
00:03:14,629 --> 00:03:15,761
when I was a little girl.

93
00:03:15,863 --> 00:03:18,831
Ha ha, it must have
been your personality.

94
00:03:18,933 --> 00:03:21,967
Uh-huh, it must have been my...

95
00:03:22,070 --> 00:03:23,070
Huh?!

96
00:03:26,707 --> 00:03:30,043
But I know how the 2 twerps'
friendship can help us.

97
00:03:30,145 --> 00:03:31,911
[Telephone rings]

98
00:03:35,250 --> 00:03:36,449
Good morning.

99
00:03:36,551 --> 00:03:37,783
Richie: Uh... hello.

100
00:03:37,885 --> 00:03:39,352
Oh, hi, Richie.

101
00:03:39,454 --> 00:03:40,953
Is ash there?

102
00:03:41,055 --> 00:03:43,356
Well, yeah, but he's
getting ready for the match.

103
00:03:43,457 --> 00:03:45,925
You're that stuck-up little
big-mouth misty, aren't you?

104
00:03:46,027 --> 00:03:48,127
Listen lame-o, I didn't
call to talk to you!

105
00:03:48,229 --> 00:03:49,996
Just get ash and get lost!

106
00:03:50,098 --> 00:03:52,564
Well, you can have him
you nasty little weasel!

107
00:03:52,666 --> 00:03:55,668
Ugh! Here, ash. Prince
charming wants to talk to you!

108
00:03:55,770 --> 00:03:56,770
Who's that?

109
00:03:56,804 --> 00:03:57,670
I should have known that kid

110
00:03:57,772 --> 00:03:59,772
was too good to be true.

111
00:03:59,874 --> 00:04:02,207
Hey, ash, it's
your friend Richie.

112
00:04:03,678 --> 00:04:05,844
I have to tell you
something about Pikachu.

113
00:04:05,947 --> 00:04:07,713
Can you come out and
talk for just a minute?

114
00:04:07,815 --> 00:04:09,315
Sure, where?

115
00:04:09,417 --> 00:04:12,084
OK... and bring
Pikachu?

116
00:04:12,186 --> 00:04:14,687
All right, I'm on my way.

117
00:04:14,789 --> 00:04:16,922
Pikachu, we gotta go.

118
00:04:17,024 --> 00:04:18,269
Just don't be late
for your match.

119
00:04:18,293 --> 00:04:20,493
I might be late for
a lot of things, Brock,

120
00:04:20,595 --> 00:04:23,663
but I'm never late for
a meal or a pokémon match.

121
00:04:24,865 --> 00:04:28,333
A leading lady who also
does character roles.

122
00:04:28,436 --> 00:04:31,937
I should have my
own show. Ha ha!

123
00:04:37,211 --> 00:04:39,411
Hey, Richie, where are ya?

124
00:04:39,513 --> 00:04:40,413
Hi, ash.

125
00:04:40,515 --> 00:04:42,382
I'm-glad-you-could-make-it.

126
00:04:42,484 --> 00:04:43,849
Hey, what are you doing standing

127
00:04:43,951 --> 00:04:45,818
all the way over there?

128
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:46,952
So what's this thing

129
00:04:47,054 --> 00:04:49,355
you wanna tell me about Pikachu?

130
00:04:49,457 --> 00:04:52,090
Well, ash, you won't like it.

131
00:04:54,729 --> 00:04:57,096
Ha ha ha!
Pikachu's mine!

132
00:04:57,198 --> 00:05:00,800
Prepare for trouble.

133
00:05:00,902 --> 00:05:02,401
Make it double.

134
00:05:02,503 --> 00:05:03,836
Not you again!

135
00:05:03,938 --> 00:05:05,003
Pikachu!

136
00:05:05,105 --> 00:05:06,906
To protect the world
from devastation.

137
00:05:07,008 --> 00:05:09,074
To unite all peoples
within our nation.

138
00:05:09,176 --> 00:05:10,876
To denounce the
evils of truth and love.

139
00:05:10,978 --> 00:05:13,613
To extend our reach
to the stars above.

140
00:05:13,715 --> 00:05:14,613
Jessy!

141
00:05:14,715 --> 00:05:15,915
James!

142
00:05:16,017 --> 00:05:18,818
Team rocket blast off
at the speed of light!

143
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,588
Surrender now or
prepare to fight!

144
00:05:22,690 --> 00:05:23,922
That's right!

145
00:05:24,025 --> 00:05:25,025
Let me out!

146
00:05:25,093 --> 00:05:26,659
Let me out of here!

147
00:05:26,761 --> 00:05:28,327
Well, jessy, your phony friend

148
00:05:28,429 --> 00:05:31,363
dial-a-twerp decoy call
worked like a charm.

149
00:05:31,465 --> 00:05:32,932
It worked like a charm because

150
00:05:33,034 --> 00:05:34,500
I'm so charming and because

151
00:05:34,602 --> 00:05:36,369
we're dealing with a
brainless little brat!

152
00:05:36,471 --> 00:05:38,137
Yeah, but if that
kid's so brainless

153
00:05:38,239 --> 00:05:39,505
and he beats us every time,

154
00:05:39,607 --> 00:05:40,873
how brainless are we?

155
00:05:40,975 --> 00:05:42,808
Don't let him hear you say that!

156
00:05:42,910 --> 00:05:44,443
I don't have time for this.

157
00:05:44,545 --> 00:05:47,613
I have a pokémon
league match to get to.

158
00:05:47,715 --> 00:05:49,248
We have some bad news.

159
00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:51,784
And it's about
the pokémon league.

160
00:05:51,886 --> 00:05:53,986
Jessy and James:
You're out of it, twerp!

161
00:06:03,798 --> 00:06:05,130
Did ash come back?

162
00:06:05,233 --> 00:06:08,201
No, and he hasn't
called or anything.

163
00:06:08,302 --> 00:06:09,302
I didn't see him anywhere

164
00:06:09,403 --> 00:06:10,403
in the pokémon village.

165
00:06:10,504 --> 00:06:11,904
Do you think he decided

166
00:06:12,006 --> 00:06:13,873
to go straight to the
stadium with Richie?

167
00:06:13,974 --> 00:06:17,343
Hmm. Yeah, maybe
that's what he did.

168
00:06:17,445 --> 00:06:18,978
I hope that's what he did!

169
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,913
His match starts
in half an hour!

170
00:06:27,121 --> 00:06:29,021
What's going on?

171
00:06:29,123 --> 00:06:30,723
Ah! The truck
is flooding!

172
00:06:35,429 --> 00:06:36,795
You're doing great, Squirtle.

173
00:06:36,898 --> 00:06:38,131
Just keep up the water gun.

174
00:06:40,601 --> 00:06:41,601
We gotta do something

175
00:06:41,702 --> 00:06:43,469
before we get water-logged.

176
00:06:43,571 --> 00:06:45,471
Get off my face, Meowth!

177
00:06:45,573 --> 00:06:47,306
I can't see where I'm driving!

178
00:06:47,408 --> 00:06:48,408
Ahh!

179
00:06:54,215 --> 00:06:55,581
All: Hang on!

180
00:06:59,220 --> 00:07:01,120
Come on, we better hurry.

181
00:07:03,925 --> 00:07:05,658
Announcer:
Richie has entered the arena

182
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,262
and just listen to
the roar of this crowd!

183
00:07:14,135 --> 00:07:15,300
Team rocket:
Stop!

184
00:07:15,402 --> 00:07:17,703
Now team rocket's on a roll!

185
00:07:17,805 --> 00:07:19,204
And we're very tired

186
00:07:19,306 --> 00:07:20,872
of you trying to escape!

187
00:07:24,512 --> 00:07:26,478
Team rocket: Looks like
we're... OK!

188
00:07:26,580 --> 00:07:28,547
You're not getting to
that pokémon league match

189
00:07:28,649 --> 00:07:29,949
till you get past us!

190
00:07:30,051 --> 00:07:31,717
Time to play...
Pokéball!

191
00:07:31,819 --> 00:07:35,721
I choose you, Bulbasaur!

192
00:07:35,824 --> 00:07:37,889
Bulbasaur, use your
vine whip attack!

193
00:07:39,827 --> 00:07:42,328
You'll need more than Bulbasaur!

194
00:07:42,430 --> 00:07:43,430
It can't whip us!

195
00:07:45,032 --> 00:07:47,032
Pikachu!

196
00:07:50,271 --> 00:07:52,104
Ash: Bulbasaur, return!

197
00:07:52,206 --> 00:07:55,374
You won't get away!

198
00:07:55,476 --> 00:07:56,476
Watch me!

199
00:08:03,117 --> 00:08:04,850
Team rocket: Yoo-hoo!

200
00:08:04,953 --> 00:08:07,219
We told you you
wouldn't get away.

201
00:08:07,321 --> 00:08:08,855
Not until we've
got that Pikachu!

202
00:08:08,957 --> 00:08:11,590
Go, Weezing!
Smog attack!

203
00:08:11,692 --> 00:08:13,659
Hey, knock it off!

204
00:08:16,697 --> 00:08:17,697
You can either give us

205
00:08:17,732 --> 00:08:19,465
your precious little Pikachu...

206
00:08:19,567 --> 00:08:22,235
Or you can Miss your
pokémon league match!

207
00:08:22,336 --> 00:08:23,336
Choose!

208
00:08:28,709 --> 00:08:30,342
I promised Richie.

209
00:08:30,444 --> 00:08:33,045
Listen, ash... because
we're friends,

210
00:08:33,147 --> 00:08:34,413
we should promise each other

211
00:08:34,515 --> 00:08:36,549
to make this the best
battle that we've ever had.

212
00:08:36,651 --> 00:08:40,252
OK, that's a promise, Richie.

213
00:08:40,354 --> 00:08:42,754
And a promise is a promise!

214
00:08:42,856 --> 00:08:44,623
I've gotta get to that stadium.

215
00:08:47,261 --> 00:08:49,495
Well... what's your decision?

216
00:08:49,597 --> 00:08:51,930
Are you going to
give up your Pikachu?

217
00:08:52,032 --> 00:08:53,933
Or are you going to
give up your match?

218
00:08:54,969 --> 00:08:56,435
You can't steal our bicycle!

219
00:08:56,537 --> 00:08:57,970
Yeah, we're the
thieves around here!

220
00:08:58,072 --> 00:08:59,072
I'm not stealing.

221
00:08:59,140 --> 00:09:00,172
I'm just borrowing!

222
00:09:00,274 --> 00:09:02,208
Meowth: He's not so
brainless, is he?

223
00:09:04,912 --> 00:09:07,112
Who's that...

224
00:09:11,185 --> 00:09:12,884
It's aerodactyl!

225
00:09:15,989 --> 00:09:17,167
Announcer:
Ladies and gentlemen,

226
00:09:17,191 --> 00:09:19,624
we have an unusual
drama unfolding

227
00:09:19,726 --> 00:09:21,660
here at the indigo stadium.

228
00:09:21,762 --> 00:09:25,263
We're ready to start this 5th
round pokémon league match,

229
00:09:25,365 --> 00:09:28,933
but trainer ash Ketchum
is nowhere to be seen!

230
00:09:29,036 --> 00:09:30,803
If Ketchum doesn't
arrive in time,

231
00:09:30,904 --> 00:09:31,970
he'll forfeit the match,

232
00:09:32,073 --> 00:09:34,006
and Richie, his would-be
opponent,

233
00:09:34,108 --> 00:09:36,308
will be declared the winner!

234
00:09:36,411 --> 00:09:37,443
Where could he be?

235
00:09:37,545 --> 00:09:39,244
Professor, why
isn't ash here yet?

236
00:09:39,346 --> 00:09:40,645
Do you think he's gotten into

237
00:09:40,748 --> 00:09:41,748
some kind of trouble?

238
00:09:41,848 --> 00:09:42,848
Probably.

239
00:09:42,950 --> 00:09:43,950
But that boy has a way

240
00:09:43,984 --> 00:09:44,984
of getting himself

241
00:09:45,086 --> 00:09:46,118
right back out of it.

242
00:09:46,220 --> 00:09:47,953
Announcer: And now it
looks like...

243
00:09:48,055 --> 00:09:49,521
One of Ketchum's coaches

244
00:09:49,623 --> 00:09:51,957
has come onto the field!

245
00:09:52,059 --> 00:09:54,426
I wanna know what
you said to ash.

246
00:09:54,528 --> 00:09:55,661
What do you mean?

247
00:09:55,763 --> 00:09:57,529
Tell me now!

248
00:09:57,631 --> 00:09:58,663
Owwww!

249
00:09:59,733 --> 00:10:01,700
Announcer: And that young
lady might be

250
00:10:01,802 --> 00:10:03,268
the toughest battler we've seen

251
00:10:03,371 --> 00:10:04,970
in this entire competition!

252
00:10:05,072 --> 00:10:06,972
What did I say?

253
00:10:07,074 --> 00:10:08,707
You must have said
that a real friend

254
00:10:08,809 --> 00:10:10,475
wouldn't show up so
you'd win the match,

255
00:10:10,577 --> 00:10:11,577
you 2-faced phony!

256
00:10:11,678 --> 00:10:13,745
I'd never say
anything like that.

257
00:10:13,847 --> 00:10:15,448
You can quit acting.

258
00:10:15,549 --> 00:10:16,593
You're nice to me in public,

259
00:10:16,617 --> 00:10:17,857
but when you call on the phone,

260
00:10:17,885 --> 00:10:19,217
I'm just a little big mouth!

261
00:10:19,319 --> 00:10:20,519
Wait a second...

262
00:10:20,621 --> 00:10:22,232
What do you mean "when
you call on the phone"?

263
00:10:22,256 --> 00:10:24,756
When you called
today and asked for ash.

264
00:10:24,858 --> 00:10:26,158
What do you think I mean?

265
00:10:26,260 --> 00:10:28,427
But I never talked
to you one the phone.

266
00:10:28,529 --> 00:10:29,529
Huh?

267
00:10:29,597 --> 00:10:31,063
Honest I didn't.

268
00:10:33,401 --> 00:10:35,434
You really are
telling me the truth.

269
00:10:35,536 --> 00:10:38,136
Mm-hmm. And I never
talked to ash.

270
00:10:38,238 --> 00:10:41,907
But then... who made
that call?

271
00:10:48,683 --> 00:10:49,683
What's the matter?

272
00:10:54,888 --> 00:10:57,690
OK, you can have the bike back!

273
00:10:57,792 --> 00:10:58,991
But now we got you

274
00:10:59,093 --> 00:11:00,492
and your Pikachu, too!

275
00:11:00,594 --> 00:11:02,494
Ha ha ha ha!

276
00:11:02,596 --> 00:11:05,463
I gotta do something!

277
00:11:05,565 --> 00:11:07,966
Pidgeotto!

278
00:11:08,068 --> 00:11:09,068
Pikachu!

279
00:11:21,749 --> 00:11:24,215
We're blasting off again!

280
00:11:27,655 --> 00:11:29,288
Great job, Pidgeotto.

281
00:11:29,390 --> 00:11:30,622
Now I need you to pull us

282
00:11:30,724 --> 00:11:32,725
straight to indigo
stadium as fast as you can!

283
00:11:45,439 --> 00:11:47,907
Announcer: Well, it seems
the judges have determined

284
00:11:48,009 --> 00:11:50,141
that ash Ketchum has
forfeited this match

285
00:11:50,243 --> 00:11:52,978
and now the referee
is approaching Richie

286
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,646
to inform him of their decision

287
00:11:54,748 --> 00:11:58,517
and officially award
him the victory.

288
00:11:58,619 --> 00:12:00,986
Because your opponent has
failed to appear for the match,

289
00:12:01,088 --> 00:12:03,221
I hereby declare the
winner of this match to be...

290
00:12:03,323 --> 00:12:04,490
No, not yet!

291
00:12:04,592 --> 00:12:06,191
I don't wanna win
the match that way.

292
00:12:06,293 --> 00:12:07,573
Please wait just
a little longer.

293
00:12:07,628 --> 00:12:09,427
I know ash'll be
here any minute!

294
00:12:09,530 --> 00:12:11,496
Announcer: This
must be a first!

295
00:12:11,598 --> 00:12:15,701
Richie is asking the
Judge to wait for ash!

296
00:12:15,803 --> 00:12:17,002
Ash and I promised each other

297
00:12:17,104 --> 00:12:18,603
that this'd be
the best battle ever

298
00:12:18,706 --> 00:12:20,405
and I know he'd never
break his promise,

299
00:12:20,507 --> 00:12:23,242
so that's why I'm sure
ash'll be here no matter what!

300
00:12:25,712 --> 00:12:26,845
So please wait.

301
00:12:26,948 --> 00:12:28,647
I'll know he'll come!

302
00:12:31,418 --> 00:12:32,751
All right, we'll wait.

303
00:12:32,853 --> 00:12:34,986
10... minutes... more.

304
00:12:35,088 --> 00:12:36,554
Thanks. Thank you
very much, sir.

305
00:12:36,656 --> 00:12:39,391
That's the sign of
a really great trainer.

306
00:12:39,493 --> 00:12:40,725
I know he is, Brock.

307
00:12:40,828 --> 00:12:43,028
But I just wish there
was some sign of ash.

308
00:12:43,130 --> 00:12:44,696
Your son has excellent taste

309
00:12:44,798 --> 00:12:46,031
in friends, doesn't he?

310
00:12:46,133 --> 00:12:48,300
Yes, he certainly does.

311
00:12:52,372 --> 00:12:54,239
Hang in there, Pidgeotto.

312
00:12:54,341 --> 00:12:55,941
We're gonna make it!

313
00:12:59,713 --> 00:13:02,314
I'm afraid the
10 minutes are up.

314
00:13:02,416 --> 00:13:03,682
The match is officially...

315
00:13:03,784 --> 00:13:05,951
Hey, Richie!

316
00:13:08,355 --> 00:13:09,755
Sorry I'm late!

317
00:13:09,857 --> 00:13:12,424
Ya made it!

318
00:13:12,526 --> 00:13:13,759
A funny thing happened

319
00:13:13,860 --> 00:13:16,027
on the way to the stadium.

320
00:13:16,129 --> 00:13:17,463
Pidgeotto!

321
00:13:20,334 --> 00:13:21,399
Thank you, Pidgeotto.

322
00:13:21,501 --> 00:13:24,436
Now you can take
a nice long rest.

323
00:13:24,538 --> 00:13:25,637
Let's start the battle.

324
00:13:25,739 --> 00:13:27,673
Yeah!

325
00:13:27,775 --> 00:13:29,018
Announcer: Ash Ketchum
has just made

326
00:13:29,042 --> 00:13:30,742
the most dramatic,
last-minute entrance

327
00:13:30,844 --> 00:13:32,244
in pokémon league history

328
00:13:32,346 --> 00:13:34,512
and this crowd is going
absolutely wild!

329
00:13:34,615 --> 00:13:36,648
Ash, you apologize
to all these people

330
00:13:36,750 --> 00:13:38,349
for being late
right this instant!

331
00:13:38,452 --> 00:13:40,051
Mrs. Ketchum,
take it easy.

332
00:13:40,153 --> 00:13:43,522
Announcer: Well, folks, good
things come to those who wait,

333
00:13:43,624 --> 00:13:44,856
so hold onto your seats

334
00:13:44,959 --> 00:13:47,325
because this 5th round
pokémon league battle

335
00:13:47,427 --> 00:13:48,927
is finally about to begin!

336
00:13:49,029 --> 00:13:50,162
I don't know what kept you,

337
00:13:50,264 --> 00:13:52,398
but I'm sure glad you
made it for the match!

338
00:13:52,500 --> 00:13:54,866
Now are you ready for
your biggest battle ever?

339
00:13:54,968 --> 00:13:57,102
I'm ready when you are!

340
00:13:57,204 --> 00:13:59,872
Go, happy!

341
00:14:02,910 --> 00:14:07,045
I choose you, Squirtle!

342
00:14:07,148 --> 00:14:08,988
Announcer: And it's Richie's
Butterfree "happy"

343
00:14:09,016 --> 00:14:10,816
and ash's Squirtle
going head to head

344
00:14:10,918 --> 00:14:11,918
to start things off!

345
00:14:15,823 --> 00:14:17,155
Both pokémon are launching

346
00:14:17,257 --> 00:14:19,057
rock 'em sock 'em poké-attacks!

347
00:14:19,159 --> 00:14:20,925
Happy, sleep powder attack!

348
00:14:33,740 --> 00:14:36,208
Announcer: It looks like
Butterfree has given Squirtle

349
00:14:36,310 --> 00:14:38,477
a one way ticket to slumberland!

350
00:14:38,579 --> 00:14:39,678
Come on, Squirtle.

351
00:14:39,780 --> 00:14:41,179
Try to shake it off and wake up!

352
00:14:41,281 --> 00:14:42,180
Pika pika!

353
00:14:42,283 --> 00:14:43,348
Squirtle!

354
00:14:43,450 --> 00:14:45,517
Squirtle is unable to battle.

355
00:14:45,619 --> 00:14:46,985
Butterfree is the winner!

356
00:14:47,087 --> 00:14:50,389
Announcer: Richie's battling
Butterfree emerges victorious.

357
00:14:50,491 --> 00:14:52,357
And now, with just
2 pokémon left,

358
00:14:52,459 --> 00:14:56,928
Ketchum must decide which
one can pin down Butterfree!

359
00:14:57,031 --> 00:14:58,096
Pikachu?

360
00:15:00,567 --> 00:15:02,467
Announcer: Ash's Pikachu
leaps off the sidelines

361
00:15:02,569 --> 00:15:04,837
and delivers a devastating
double-edge attack!

362
00:15:09,276 --> 00:15:10,375
I can't believe it!

363
00:15:10,478 --> 00:15:13,445
I thought Pikachu'd be
too tired to battle.

364
00:15:19,186 --> 00:15:20,552
Announcer: And there it is!

365
00:15:20,654 --> 00:15:23,088
Pikachu's shocktacular
thunderbolt!

366
00:15:23,190 --> 00:15:24,190
Happy!

367
00:15:26,927 --> 00:15:28,460
Butterfree is unable to battle!

368
00:15:28,562 --> 00:15:29,727
Pikachu is the winner!

369
00:15:29,829 --> 00:15:31,963
Announcer: Pikachu's
powersurge just caused

370
00:15:32,065 --> 00:15:33,431
a Butterfree meltdown.

371
00:15:33,533 --> 00:15:37,435
And now the battlers both have
2 pokémon left to play with!

372
00:15:37,537 --> 00:15:39,237
Just 2 pokémon left.

373
00:15:39,339 --> 00:15:41,373
OK, now it looks like

374
00:15:41,475 --> 00:15:43,876
I'll have to fight
fire with fire!

375
00:15:43,978 --> 00:15:46,678
Zippo, go!

376
00:15:50,417 --> 00:15:51,883
Pikachu, watch out!

377
00:15:53,654 --> 00:15:56,021
Announcer: So far Pikachu
is beating the heat

378
00:15:56,123 --> 00:15:57,822
from Charmander's flamethrower!

379
00:15:57,924 --> 00:16:00,793
But just how long can
Pikachu keep it's cool?

380
00:16:04,465 --> 00:16:06,298
It's no good.

381
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,033
Pikachu can't keep this up.

382
00:16:11,238 --> 00:16:14,139
Announcer: And Richie's
Charmander delivers

383
00:16:14,241 --> 00:16:16,040
a devastating tackle attack!

384
00:16:17,578 --> 00:16:18,777
Pikachu...

385
00:16:22,249 --> 00:16:24,816
No... Pikachu.

386
00:16:24,918 --> 00:16:27,585
Announcer: Pikachu
is unable to battle.

387
00:16:27,688 --> 00:16:29,320
Charmander is the winner!

388
00:16:32,593 --> 00:16:35,393
I can't use Bulbasaur
against a fire pokémon.

389
00:16:35,496 --> 00:16:37,596
But, I could use...

390
00:16:49,143 --> 00:16:51,209
I know it's risky,
but it's my only hope.

391
00:16:51,311 --> 00:16:54,379
So I choose
you... Charizard!

392
00:16:57,818 --> 00:16:58,851
Charizard?!

393
00:16:58,952 --> 00:16:59,985
Oh, no!

394
00:17:00,087 --> 00:17:02,553
OK, Charizard. It's
all up to you now.

395
00:17:02,655 --> 00:17:05,090
Don't give up, zippo!
Just keep battling!

396
00:17:10,564 --> 00:17:12,831
Announcer: And it appears
that ash's Charizard

397
00:17:12,933 --> 00:17:16,034
is simply too hot for Richie's
Charmander to handle.

398
00:17:16,136 --> 00:17:18,637
Zippo, return!

399
00:17:18,739 --> 00:17:21,072
We did it, Charizard!

400
00:17:21,174 --> 00:17:24,810
I'm so happy Charizard
is finally listening to me.

401
00:17:24,912 --> 00:17:26,645
Maybe it's risky...

402
00:17:26,746 --> 00:17:28,746
But it may be my
only chance to win.

403
00:17:28,849 --> 00:17:31,349
It's your turn, sparky!

404
00:17:33,387 --> 00:17:35,064
Announcer: Richie is sending
in his Pikachu

405
00:17:35,088 --> 00:17:36,588
to face ash's Charizard!

406
00:17:36,690 --> 00:17:38,723
This could turn into
a Pikachu barbecue!

407
00:17:38,826 --> 00:17:39,857
Sparky?

408
00:17:39,959 --> 00:17:42,193
Be careful, Charizard!

409
00:17:42,296 --> 00:17:45,730
Richie's Pikachu won't
be as easy as it looks.

410
00:17:47,434 --> 00:17:49,500
Pika.

411
00:18:03,851 --> 00:18:05,517
Hang in there, sparky!

412
00:18:05,619 --> 00:18:06,718
You can do it!

413
00:18:13,727 --> 00:18:15,460
Announcer: It looks like...

414
00:18:15,562 --> 00:18:19,097
It looks like Charizard
is taking a nap!

415
00:18:19,199 --> 00:18:20,698
Charizard, you can't just quit

416
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:21,900
in the middle of my most

417
00:18:22,002 --> 00:18:23,301
important match ever!

418
00:18:25,773 --> 00:18:28,039
Charizard, please
get up and battle.

419
00:18:28,141 --> 00:18:29,407
Just listen to me now

420
00:18:29,510 --> 00:18:31,476
and you never have to
listen to me again, OK?

421
00:18:31,578 --> 00:18:33,412
Hey! What is this?

422
00:18:33,513 --> 00:18:35,147
We came here to see
a pokémon battle!

423
00:18:35,248 --> 00:18:36,248
Get serious!

424
00:18:39,352 --> 00:18:40,952
Charizard still
won't listen to ash.

425
00:18:41,054 --> 00:18:42,220
This is a total disaster!

426
00:18:42,322 --> 00:18:44,323
Why did Charizard stop battling?

427
00:18:44,425 --> 00:18:45,890
It may have thought Charmander,

428
00:18:45,993 --> 00:18:47,292
a flame-type like itself,

429
00:18:47,394 --> 00:18:48,626
was a worth adversary,

430
00:18:48,728 --> 00:18:49,895
but it doesn't want to bother

431
00:18:49,997 --> 00:18:51,730
battling with a puny
little Pikachu.

432
00:18:55,569 --> 00:18:56,902
Charizard refuses to battle.

433
00:18:57,004 --> 00:18:58,269
Pikachu is the winner!

434
00:18:58,371 --> 00:19:03,241
The winner of the match
is the red trainer, Richie!

435
00:19:08,716 --> 00:19:10,449
Charizard, return!

436
00:19:16,689 --> 00:19:17,689
Ash...

437
00:19:23,196 --> 00:19:24,262
I guess you won.

438
00:19:24,364 --> 00:19:26,698
Guess so.

439
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,234
Congratulations, Richie.

440
00:19:31,738 --> 00:19:33,237
Thanks, ash!

441
00:19:35,809 --> 00:19:37,408
Just make sure you win

442
00:19:37,510 --> 00:19:38,676
the next one for me, Richie.

443
00:19:38,778 --> 00:19:40,945
Right, I'll do my best!

444
00:19:44,450 --> 00:19:47,051
Looks like ash is
taking it pretty well.

445
00:19:47,154 --> 00:19:49,187
I think he's happy
for his friend.

446
00:19:49,289 --> 00:19:52,424
I guess one of them
had to lose out there.

447
00:19:52,526 --> 00:19:55,894
From here, they both
look like winners to me.

448
00:19:55,996 --> 00:19:58,463
Ash should be very
proud of himself.

449
00:19:58,565 --> 00:19:59,898
I know he's disappointed,

450
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,035
but I couldn't be
prouder if he'd won.

451
00:20:04,138 --> 00:20:07,772
Narrator: Ash's adventures in the
pokémon league have come to an end.

452
00:20:07,874 --> 00:20:11,576
But his dream of becoming
a pokémon Master continues.

453
00:20:11,678 --> 00:20:13,745
He's learned a lot
about winning and losing.

454
00:20:13,847 --> 00:20:15,714
And as his journey continues,

455
00:20:15,816 --> 00:20:19,450
his passion for pokémon
burns brighter than ever.

456
00:20:23,690 --> 00:20:24,723
Ash: Don't go away.

457
00:20:24,825 --> 00:20:26,925
Pikachu's jukebox is next!

458
00:20:29,963 --> 00:20:30,996
