Original subtitles

(Pokémon, I'll get you!)

Whether in fires, in the water, in the grass, in the forests,

In the ground, in the clouds, in that girl's skirt, (KYAA~~~!!)

It's very, very, very, very tricky, but

I'm sure I'll get you!

Pokémon, I'll get you!

Pallet Town, farewell, bye-bye,

I'm going on a journey with this guy (Pikachu~)

We'll win every time with skills we've trained,

Make new friends, and head off to the next town. (We're waiting)

That things will always go well

Is never guaranteed (That's right),

But, forever and always, I live life to the fullest,

When these guys are with me.

Ah! I aim to be a Pokémon Master,

I want to be, I have to be,

I know I'll be one!

In order to get the seventh Badge,

Satoshi's group is continuing their journey toward Cinnabar Island.

What encounters will they have today?

Look at that!

Woah! Goldeen and Magikarp!

Even a Gyarados! That means...

I totally forgot, but today must be...

Children's Day!

It's Children's Day! Everyone Gather Around

[Bonus Story]

They're even more impressive up close!

Very cool.

I hope there's all-you-can-eat kashiwa mochi somewhere.

Hello? It's called Children's Day.

It was originally the "Boys' Day Festival". So it's to celebrate boys.

He's right.

If you got your Dolls' Festival for girls, then today should be a festival for boys.

Men!

Men!

Men!

Boys, girls. It doesn't matter. We should celebrate everyone!

Got it...

We've been expecting you, Pokémon Trainers!

Now, come along. The children are waiting in the preschool.

Yes! I have been waiting for you! My name is Takeshi.

Nice to meet you...

Meeting beautiful people like you inspires me.

Hello? Sakura Preschool.

What? You can't come?

But aren't you right here?

What? Oh, I see...

What's the matter?

The thing is... Some Pokémon trainers were supposed to come today.

Because it's Children's Day, we were going to let them play with Pokémon as a special treat.

So that's why you came up to us.

The children really were looking forward to playing with Pokémon.

If that's what you want, please leave it to us.

How can they call themselves Pokémon Trainers if they break the dreams of children?!

Please, leave it to us.

Right, Satoshi?

Of course.

Thank you very much. The children will be so happy.

You can count on us.

Now, come inside.

Okay!

Today's the day we get that Pikachu.

That's right. Today is Children's Day.

On Children's Day, after I swam in a pool with floating flag irises,

I'd eat so much of my beloved kashiwa mochi.

What?

Kashiwa mochi?!

You didn't just eat kashiwa oak leaves?

Absolutely not.

What?!

I was deceived.

I remember we'd even chop up sweet flag irises and put them into chaofan to make us strong and healthy.

How sad! This is beyond sad!

But thanks to it, you've now grown into a healthy man.

You mean woman!

Everybody, the Pokémon Trainers are here!

Stop that! Pikachu!

Everybody...

Pokémon aren't cuddly toys, you know.

You mustn't be so rough.

Hey, listen!

Okay!

What good children!

Come on, bring more Pokémon out!

Bring them out!

All right. Here's a special bonus, just for today.

Come out to play with all the kids!

Okay! Mine are coming out, too!

We're not done yet!

Looks like they're all having fun.

The Pokémon are surprisingly enjoying it, too.

Playing with the children is reducing the stress levels of the Pokémon.

This might be a new discovery.

What's with that kid?

That's Manabu.

Hey, Manabu. What's the matter?

You don't want to play with the Pokémon?

I want to play, but...

Could it be that you're afraid of Pokémon, Manabu?

No! I want to see a Meowth!

A Meowth?

What's with that?

Why do you want to see a Meowth, Manabu?

You see, when I went to the forest to go play...

A Beedrill suddenly attacked me!

A Meowth!

Wow!

Meowth!

Thank you, Meowth...

So that's what happened.

Hey, Manabu, did that Meowth say...

"Give me money for helping you", or anything?

It didn't say anything...

Pokémon can't talk, right?

It'd be trouble if they were here...

Manabu was probably saved by a wild Meowth.

Still, that spinning kick sounds impressive.

There must be lots of Meowth out there.

I want to see that Meowth again!

Meowth is my hero!

Are you still talking about that?

There's no Meowth like that.

There is so!

Then show us!

Well...

See, you can't!

You're a liar, Manabu!

I'm not a liar!

If you aren't, then show us!

Come on. Don't fight.

What's that?

Roll up, roll up! Gather around and see!

Today marks our arrival!

It's this century's greatest Pokémon Magician duo, Dorothy...

...and Drone!

Today, we've got a special treat for Children's Day!

We'll show you some Pokémon Magic!

Pokémon Magic?

I want to see that, too!

Are there any children who'd like to see Pokémon Magic?

We want to see!

Very good. So many earnest, pretty grand-brats.

This does feel right.

Is this really going to work?

It'll be fine. Just stay hidden!

Ladies and gentlemen...

...and little grand-brats.

We're about to begin the Pokémon Magic.

We've taken out our magical box.

Nothing inside. Completely empty.

But mysterious things happen when a Pokémon goes inside.

Now then, would that Pikachu like to participate?

Pikachu?

Yes, yes. We need a little Pikachu for the magic.

What do you think, Pikachu?

Come this way, please.

First, we'll place sweet Pikachu in the box.

There you go.

...and we'll close the lid like so.

Oh my!

Meowth?

Meowth!

Oh, you're too kind.

Wait a moment!

Where are you going?

Give back my Pikachu!

Who are you people?

Whatever it is you ask us about...

it is the world's pity to answer you!

Okay, step back a little bit.

This is the good part, you know.

To prevent the world's destruction.

To protect the world's peace.

Fulfilling the evils of love and truth.

The lovely, charmy villains.

Musa—

Listen to us.

Just forget it.

We're tired of your speech anyway.

Weezing, go!

They're already playing with them.

Hey, hey!

Everybody, it's not time to play. We need to run away quickly!

I said you need to run!

Okay!

Weezing, Smokescreen!

Who is it?

Meowth

Meowth!

Meowth!

What are you dawdling for?

Now, for our getaway.

That's all for today.

Don't leave me behind!

It's a success, and it does feel right!

Wait!

Darn. They took my Pikachu.

Pikachu!

Thank goodness, but how did you do it?

We've got big trouble!

I can't find any sign of Manabu anywhere!

What?!

Very good.

All the preparations are okay to go.

The time has come at long last!

Hold your breath for this moment of tension.

Here we go!

What? One of the grand-brats?

Come on. No need to cry. Isn't that right?

Pikachu isn't here!

What's the meaning of this?

Search me...

Meowth! You came to save me!

Ouch! That hurts!

Look! It's me!

From before, when you saved me from that Beedrill that attacked me!

I've been longing to see you since then, Meowth!

You're my hero, Meowth!

What are you talking abou—

Sorry to be rude.

One moment.

Apparently, that kid was saved by a wild Meowth.

He's mistaken you for it.

What?

Meowth, you need to act like a wild Meowth.

What's happenying?

We are the lovely, charmy villains.

We would never break the pure dreams of a child!

As today is Children's Day,

I won't allow you to have bitter memories of eating only kashiwa oak leaves!

I'm a hero?

Dun-dun-dya-dun!

No need to push!

I'll do it!

You sure? You can't say any words...

...or we'll be exposed as fakes.

Count on me!

That's off to a bad start.

She's right.

Meowth?

Meowth, where did you go?

Sorry to keep you waiting, grand-brat.

We are the Rocket Gang that makes kids cry.

Prepare yourself.

You think a Meowth can stand against us?

Don't you know your place?

Meowth!

You really are the Meowth that came to save me!

Here we go!

Meowth, do that spinning kick from before!

That Meowth...

He scratched us for real.

Hooray!

Anyway, we need to split into groups and search.

Right!

It's very dangerous everyone, so go on inside, please.

Go inside right now!

Hey!

Hey!

Manabu!

Look. It's the Meowth I told you about!

The wild Meowth?

The Meowth came to save me again!

Really?

Now that you mention it, they're much more dignified than Team Rocket's Meowth.

You think so?

Manabu, you were telling the truth!

I'm sorry for calling you a liar, Manabu.

It's fine.

I'm just happy I got to see that Meowth.

Manabu, is it okay if we play with the Meowth, too?

Is it okay? Meowth?

They say it's okay!

Really?!

Meowth is our hero!

Right!

Didn't it just talk?

I heard this Meowth speak just now.

Really?

Meowth!

Don't go!

Meowth! Don't go away, Meowth!

Meowth!

Wait!

Manabu!

Manabu!

Wait!

Well done.

It's not easy being a hero.

From here on...

We're taking stage!

It's a dead-end.

That's strange. I'm sure they came this way.

Wait one moment.

To prevent the world's destruction a second time.

To protect the world's peace.

Fulfilling the evils of love and truth.

The lovely, charmy villains.

Musashi!

Kojirō!

The Rocket Gang duo soars through the galaxy!

A white hole, a white tomorrow awaits us!

Nya-t's about ri—!

You're not supposed to appear!

You guys again!

The real show is about to start.

We'll be getting Pikachu this time.

Hello again, all you grand-brats.

Thank you very much.

We're having a Pokémon match this time!

All right! We'll turn the tables on you.

Go, Arbok!

Come on, Weezing!

Pidgeotto, I choose you!

I'll help you out!

Go, Onix!

Weezing, Smog!

Think we'll accept that old trick?

Pidgeotto, Gust!

Arbok's gone!

In that hole?

Now!

Crap!

It's collapsing!

Everyone, run away quickly!

Manabu!

They're in danger!

I'm going in now!

Meowth!

That's...

What's happening?

Someone stop it!

It's coming this way!

This feels bad!

Thank you so very much, everybody.

Please call us again, any time.

Mister...

I'm going to be a Pokémon Trainer like you when I get big!

..and I'm aiming for the Pokémon League together with Meowth.

The Pokémon League, huh?

So that'll make you Satoshi's rival, huh?

I'm looking forward to the day I battle you, Manabu.

Yeah!

Goodbye!

See you!

Bye-bye!

Satoshi and his friends gave a present of pleasant memories for Children's Day.

I wonder if this present reached everybody's hearts?

Didn't you want to stay behind and be a hero, Meowth?

What are you talking about?

Without me around, I'd be worried for you guys.

Let's stay in high spirits.

Right, right.

I want to grow into an adult fast

Oh? Why's that?

But it seems I've grown a little...

Then, how about I tell you about my dream this time?

I wonder if you can get used to it in just one day?

You couldn't!

Hey, don't be mean!

Police pup Growlithe catching thieves. So cool!

Pikachu, you're going to do special training with it.

Then the Rocket Gang appears.

They get the Growlithe to follow their orders.

All right. Leave this one to me.

I'll find a way to get the Growlithe back to normal.

Next time on Pocket Monsters:

"Police Pup Growlithe"

Everyone, get Pokémon!
