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!

Satoshi, who's aiming to be a Pokémon Master, and his friends...

...continue their journey with a young boy who loves cameras named Toru.

Look here! You're such a good Pokémon!

Okay, now look behind you, Togepi!

Yes. I captured a great expression.

Pokémon Weather Corner.

Today, we've got smiley sun symbols nationwide.

It's a good day for Grass-type Pokémon to bathe in the sunlight.

Good weather, huh?

Today has good conditions for taking photos.

Now then...

It's Big Sister's Day Care Center!

Just leave your Pokémon in our care,

and we'll raise them wonderfully!

For example, we'll evolve any Charmander to Charmeleon

and any Charmeleon to Charizard!

Please come to the newly renovated Big Sister's Day Care Center!

We're currently holding a special promotion to celebrate our renovations.

Our store's motto is "Love to all Pokémon"!

What?

So a new Day Day Care Center has opened up.

Day Day Care Center?

Never heard of it?

It's where people who are busy and can't raise their Pokémon themselves drop off their Pokémon.

A good Day Day Care Center can evolve your Pokémon properly.

Wow, a Day Day Care Center, huh?

The Day Care Secret!

Roll up and welcome!

If you leave your Pokémon in the care of Big Sister's Day Care Center,

we'll make their coats shiny and train them with perfection!

That's it, line up!

Looks like they're thriving.

Our facilities are ultra-luxurious hotel-quality.

They're better than the best.

After all, our motto is "Love to all Pokémon"!

Love to all!

Very nice...

Don't think it's my thing this time.

Okay!

Welcome!

Okay, take care!

Please!

Hello, welcome...

Can I leave my Pokémon with you?

You're going to deposit a Pokémon, Kasumi?

Yes, I am.

Which Pokémon?

Staryu?

Could it be Togepi?

It's Psyduck, of course. Please.

My, what a cute little Psyduck.

Those round eyes are so adorable it's unbearable.

It's just always relaxed.

What do you want with this Psyduck?

I want it to think a little more.

This one has nothing on its mind.

This one looks rather wise...

Its expression should be sharper and tenser.

Might that be impossible?

Leave it to us. After all, at this store we give, "Love to all Pokémon"!

Good luck!

Sharpen up, and you can come back.

I feel like I've had a weight lifted from my mind.

You're not going to leave it in their care and not pick it up, are you?

No! I would never do that.

I think it has many cute points about it.

How about I adopt it?

Who's giving anyone away?

I was the one who got Psyduck.

That looks tasty.

Oh, a restaurant!

Now that you mention it, I'm hungry!

What is it?

The first anniversary of this shop's opening... all-you-can-eat-omurice?

Wahoo! I absolutely love omurice!

It's not free though.

I'm sure there's a catch like you have to eat 10 large servings.

I think I could do up to eight plates?

Oh no. You don't have to eat that much.

Although, there is a certain condition you have to meet.

A certain condition?

That's right.

Just show me my favorite Pokémon in the flesh,

and you can eat omurice to your heart's content.

Hooray!

If that's all, you can leave it to us!

All right, everyone, come on out!

These are wrong.

Then how about Pikachu?

Incorrect.

What about Onix? Geodude? Zubat?

...or my trump card, Vulpix?

Then what about Goldeen? Staryu? Starmie? Horsea?

Not even this Togepi?

None of those are right.

What?

None of them?

I guess we've got no other Pokémon, huh?

The one I want to see...

...is this one.

What? Psyduck?

He's a maniac for them?

This is a publicity photo I took.

Just thinking about Psyduck makes my heart thump.

If I can just pet a Psyduck, you can have all the omurice you can eat.

Would you mind waiting a little bit?

Of course. I'll be doing the anniversary promotion all day long.

Hooray! We'll be right back!

Of course, Psyduck isn't here when it's something important.

You were the one who left it, Kasumi.

It's already closed?!

I guess we'll have to drop it.

We've missed out on eating the omurice.

You're kidding me! The promotion is today only!

There's no way I'm giving up!

Let's go around the back.

Excuse me!

Is anybody in?

I would like to take back the Pokémon I left here earlier.

It's open...

Excuse me? Is anybody in?

I left a Pokémon here earlier...

Looks like no one's here...

Psyduck, are you in here?

It's so dark, I can't see anything.

No problem. Allow me.

What is all this?

They're Pokémon!

Wasn't it supposed to be ultra-luxurious hotel-quality?

This is cruel. They're all crammed up.

Their usual expressions are all ruined.

Here's Psyduck.

Huh? They did make Psyduck's expression sharper and tenser somehow.

Look closer.

The corners of its eyes are just being pulled up by tape.

What in the world?

What's that?

The next Pokémon is a Sandshrew.

Its growth is reasonable, and its physical condition is satisfactory.

They can use the Fury Swipes move okay.

We sure gathered a lot. We've got loads.

Yes. People really are simple, no matter where they are.

We'll be able to select the superior Pokémon from among them.

We'll send them to the Boss.

It'll definitely make him happy.

He'll shower us in rewards.

We'll be swimming in money.

If Love is everything in this world, why is money so darling?

Who are they?

Their Day Day Care Center is a fraud.

There's no way we can allow these guys to go on.

All right. Leave this to me.

If I take photos, we'll be able to inform everybody!

That's a good idea.

How is the Day Day Care Center plan coming along?

Oh, Boss.

Everything is proceeding well, naturally.

At any rate, send the Pokémon collected here methodically to me.

Yes, sir!

You certainly are different from that hopeless trio of blundering fools.

Your performance is skilled.

I will not humiliate myself like that presumptuous, self-obsessed girl, Musashi.

I cannot rely on them any longer.

Excluding them from this strategy was the correct decision.

I have great expectations of you both.

Yamato and Kosaburō.

Yes, sir!

We will be sure to meet them.

Hey, capture that over there!

Okay!

What's the matter?

Nothing really. I just saw something shining in there.

I'll go have a quick look.

Who is it?

Victreebel

I see. It's just a Pikachu's electric shock.

You did well, Pikachu!

I'm finished up here.

Good. We should get out of here.

Wait, Psyduck is still...

What's wrong?

It's locked.

I can't leave Psyduck in a place like this.

What?

Soft steps, stealthy steps, sneaky steps...

Soft steps, stealthy steps, sneaky steps...

Three steps forward...

Look out for any signs...

Three steps forward, two steps back...

Why are you gyoing backwards?!

But, it was a good idea to break into the Day Care Center.

This Day Care Center is packed with Pokémon.

We will take them all.

The Boss will be so pleased with us.

We might even get an extra bonus...

We'll take as many Pokémon as we can carry.

Hey, you guys!

You three again?

What are you thinking, brat-kid?

Why are you here?

We could say the same to you!

Could it be you've turned into thieves?

Trying to be our rivals?

You really are nasty ones!

No way!

First of all, we could never steal from people.

Anyway, this is terrible.

You three should leave at once.

Terrible, he says?

There're no bad guys worse than those from the evil secret society, the Rocket Gang.

That's what we're saying.

I thought I could hear noisy chattering.

Seems some terrible rats have snuck in.

Good grief.

We can't let you escape now.

Who are you people?

What's this?

Whatever it is you ask us about...

We usually don't answer...

But we'll make an exception now and answer!

To prevent the Earth's destruction!

To protect the Earth's peace!

Fulfulling the evils of love and sincerity.

The cute, mischievous villains!

Yamato...

Kosaburō...

The Rocket Gang duo soars through the universe!

Shocking pink, a pink tomorrow awaits us!

That's exactly it!

W-what?

You guys are Rocket Gang, too?

Long time no see, Musashi.

Do you know her?

Just from training.

They were annoying. We always ended up competing.

So here you are loafing about.

Why don't you quit ripping off our speech?

Yeah! That's a Meowth and the Gang original!

Don't copy us!

The Rocket Gang is supposed to steal wherever they want. You should know that.

She's got us...

The Boss is angry that he hasn't been hearing from you lot.

But if we contacted him to say we messed up again...

He'll cut our wages...

The Boss cannot have any confidence in you.

He appointed us to this plan.

Yet, isn't it still your failure?

What will happen when the Boss finds out you got in our way...?

Please don't do anything like nyat!

What should we do with them?

Little boy and friends...

Since you know our secret,

you won't be escaping.

We don't know anything about any secret!

We were just passing by!

At least I'm telling you that you can't escape. I'm not like Musashi.

We're getting out of here, too.

Oh no! I forgot!

What?

The thing is, I kind of accidentally dropped off my Weepinbell here.

It evolved into an Victreebel.

Still, you've grown well—

This isn't time for praise.

We're getting out of here.

There's the exit!

Da... darn it!

Satoshi!

Go and hide, Kasumi!

Right!

This way, Pikachu!

It's futile to resist.

Let us out!

What's this?

Give that back!

I don't think so.

There were real thieves! They were so scary!

But our security equipment caught them!

That's a great achievement.

You'll be given a certificate of commendation​ for capturing the thieves.

That's not right! You have to listen to us!

They're the bad guys!

Aren't we companions?

You'll understand if you just check their storerooms!

I'll listen to your story at the station.

Goodbye!

Handed over to the police as thieves by your fellow Rocket Gang members. How sad.

What are we going to do?

What do I do?

Satoshi and the others are being taken away by Officer Junsā...

What to do? What?

I've got it!

I need to show Officer Junsā those photos that Toru took...

Excuse me, I left my Psyduck here yesterday.

Weren't you supposed to leave it in our care for two days?

Well, I suddenly need to travel,

and I want to take Psyduck with me.

Understood.

Now, Pikachu!

Not you, Togepi!

Pikachu is taking so long. I wish he'd hurry up.

Pardon me...

We haven't had this Psyduck for long enough. Their expression isn't sharp or tense at all.

Is something the matter?

No, nothing at all!

Are you dissatisfied?

Oh no. I'm fine!

Goodbye then!

There's a mistake, we're telling you!

The wicked ones are the Day Care Center!

It's true! We swear!

You'll see if you investigate properly.

You're a wonderfully grown Victreebel.

That sharp gaze is so refined!

Don't tell me what to conclude!

The police headquarters will investigate this one properly.

What?

Just a moment!

Kasumi! Pikachu!

What Satoshi and the others are saying is true.

Here's photographic proof.

My, what cute Pokémon!

Oh, not those. These ones here!

This is cruelty!

They're pretending to be a Day Care Center. They gather Pokémon and steal the high-quality ones.

But their facilities are supposed to be ultra-luxurious hotel-quality.

It's absolutely not.

They're all crammed together tight!

We were investigating, but they caught us!

I see...

We were there to expose them.

Yes! Yes we were!

We're not bad guys.

Nope. Those guys are obviously thieves.

The ones pretending to be a Day Care Center and collecting Pokémon are you!

You're under arrest!

Th-this is bad.

Our investigation is in progress. Resistance will be futile.

Go, Raticate!

Pikachu, go!

That was short.

Shall we run for it?

I think so.

Bulbasaur, I choose you!

Bulbasaur, Vine Whip!

This doesn't seem right.

Pikachu was the one to get the photographs back.

Thank you, Pikachu.

It's all thanks to your photos, Toru.

We'll be responsible for getting the Pokémon here back to their rightful owners.

Please do!

One more thing...

Another serving, please!

You're still eating?

Maybe a little restraint?

Don't worry about it. It's an apology for our mistake.

...and I got to see this wonderful Psyduck.

This is a freebie.

If you say so...

This is a joke! How did we get into a place like this?

We were innocent today!

Still, nothing's better than a good escape.

We just had to break into that ridiculous place.

That Yamato, I won't forget this.

So you're all off to Cinnabar Island?

Yeah!

I guess this is where we part.

I want to photograph Pokémon up in the mountains next.

I see...

That's a shame.

Let's meet again somewhere.

Yeah!

Thanks to the photos Toru took,

Satoshi and his friends managed to get out of a predicament.

Here, they part from Toru for the time being and continue their journey once again.

If you ask us what it's all about...

it is the world's pity to answer you...

To prevent the world's destruction...

(Yes~)

(ha-dokkoi-dokkoi-dokkoi-natto)

(a-sate-a-sate-sate-sate-sate-sate)

(dod-dod-Dogas do-dod-ga-dod shaa~!)

(do-dod-ga-Dogas dod-dod-dod shaa~!)

The swirling whirlpool, the stomach of the Poliwhirl

(Yes, yes!)

It may be very, very, very, very tough, but...

That's where you (dig, dig), that's where you dig

Woof! Woof!

Poké-Poké-Poké-Pokémon Ondo

Get it with a one-two-a-three, very good

Dance, and dance, and be surprised

(Victreebel!)

Be surprised, be surprised, and step back from there

(Golbat!)

That's all for now~

(Yes~!)

We're finally at Cinnabar Island to get the seventh badge...

...or so we thought.

This place is a tourist spot with no Gym in sight!

But, we solved the riddle that an odd old man gave us

and managed to find Cinnabar Gym after all.

All right. Go, Charizard!

It's your turn on stage!

Next time on Pocket Monsters:

"Burn! Cinnabar Gym!"

Everyone, get Pokémon!

Burn! Cinnabar Gym!
