(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 has gotten six Badges.

Two Badges are left to be allowed to participate in the Pokémon League.

The group is off to the Cinnabar Gym to get the Crimson Badge.

So, they're headed for Cinnabar Island.

I feel like Satoshi's journey to become Pokémon Master is really coming along.

Cinnabar Island is a volcanic one.

There's a laboratory there where they study the growth of strong Pokémon.

It's a place where Pokémon Trainers from all across the nation gather.

I hope we arrive soon. I'm itching to try out my skills on Cinnabar Island.

Oh man...

I think it's odd that they let simpletons on board.

What? Is that you, Satoshi?

Shigeru, what's with that get-up?

Burn! Cinnabar Gym!

I'm about to take it.

What's this atmosphere?

Are these people Pokémon Trainers?

You don't know, Satoshi?

Cinnabar Island was once a place that Pokémon Trainers yearned to visit.

But now, it's a famous tourist spot with hot springs.

What? Tourist spot?

I plan to cure my battle fatigue at those hot springs.

Yes! Yes!

You're so flippant!

Aren't you thinking about getting the Crimson Badge?

There's a Gym in a place like this?

No! No!

No way... I'm sure there's a Gym here.

You haven't collected many Badges have you? Keep up the dream.

You can't afford time off, eh?

You're always a jerk whenever I see you.

It's just like Shigeru said.

It really is.

Well, let's look around anyway.

I'm quite sure there's supposed to be a Cinnabar Gym.

Where did the Pokémon Trainers who yearned to visit go?

The head is chilly, and the body is steaming hot. What am I?

I've got it!

Stick your head in the refrigerator, and wrap your body in an electric blanket...

It's a guy taking an afternoon nap, right?

Are you kidding me?

Could that be a riddle?

If it is, it's got to be an open-air bath!

Correct!

This certainly was a place Pokémon Trainers yearned to visit long ago.

But at some point, the hot springs were discovered.

Cinnabar Island became a total tourist spot of all things.

How deplorable!

You're a local to Cinnabar Island, right, mister?

Do you know where the Cinnabar Gym is?

We've heard there's a Gym Trainer called Katsura.

What can you not see even if it's right before you?

Let's see...

An invisible person?

Your eyelids!

Correct again!

Katsura's Gym is right before you...

Even if you didn't quite see it!

This is...

...Cinnabar Gym?

That Trainer Katsura was fed up with so many visitors who challenged him to battles...

But their minds were on sightseeing, so he closed the Gym entirely.

We're not half-hearted challengers like that!

We've struggled desperately to make it all the way to Cinnabar Island.

You should say that to Katsura.

If you need anything, come here.

Riddle Pension?

What? He was grieving that Cinnabar Island has become a tourist spot.

But he's an innkeeper himself?

Where did that old guy go?

What's with that?

But you said that Pokémon Laboratory is famous, right?

It certainly is.

Hey, look.

Even the Pokémon Laboratory is a tourist spot?

I want to see the strong Pokémon at this Laboratory, but now...

I've lost interest somehow, and now I'm hungry.

It'll be getting dark soon.

Shall we stop at the Pokémon Center?

Guess so.

Let's go!

So, that's how it is.

There are loads of strong Pokémon in that building.

Following them around has led us to many Pokémon to take, hasn't it?

Nyat bit about the hot springs is a gift, too.

I'm very sorry.

Many people are staying here and our lobby is already full.

It's terrible, but we don't have room for any more people to stay.

We've come all this way. I'm starting to want to go to those hot springs.

Once in a while, I'd like to sleep on a fluffy futon.

All right. Let's stay at an inn today.

My apologies. Our rooms are all full.

Over here then!

Out of the way! You're out of luck if you want to stay here!

You've got to make a reservation one year in advance!

My sincerest apologies.

You have my humble apologies.

We have no vacancy today.

My stomach's rumbling...

I guess we had to reserve in advance...

Who the heck are they? They must be having a party.

It smells so good...

Where are you going, Satoshi?

Hey, wait a moment, Satoshi!

Satoshi!

They must be having a feast...

Shigeru!

I thought I could hear someone's stomach rumbling.

Oh, it's you, Satoshi.

Are you here without a reservation?

Is that so bad?

Coming all the way to Cinnabar Island, only to sleep outside. How miserable.

Amazing, isn't it? Delicacies from the mountains and the sea. ("sankai")

...and not just the mountains and sea...

If you spin around three times ("san kai") and do a Pikachu cry...

I'll let you join our feast.

Quit screwing around! No way I'm doing that.

How long can you endure it?

Cut that out, Pikachu.

We shouldn't embarrass ourselves to butter up that guy.

Oh?

I feel sorry for the Pokémon you keep.

You should quit being a Pokémon Trainer.

You really are a jerk.

Let's go, Satoshi.

Oh, are you a new geisha?

Jigglypuff!

Oh no!

Run away!

Come, show us your craft.

We nearly ended up sleeping outside in that inn's garden.

We really would have caught colds.

Satoshi, you have that tissue pack from that old guy earlier, right?

Yeah.

Oh, something's written on it.

Below is a swing. Above, a younger brother chases the older?

That place is the Riddle Pension.

Another riddle?

If it's a swing...

Maybe the park?

Above, a younger brother chases the older?

I know! It's a clock!

Clock?

That building with the clocktower has a swing below it.

That must be the Riddle Pension.

You've done well to solve that tricky riddle.

I'm sure anyone could have.

In consideration of that, you may stay free for tonight.

You're a bit of a weirdo, mister, but you're really a pretty nice guy.

Could you decide if you're praising me or disparaging me?

Perhaps something to eat first?

Yes, please.

Who is it?

Electabuzz

To prevent the world's destruction.

To protect the world's peace.

Fulfilling the evils of love and truth.

The lovely, charmy villains.

Enough needless talking. We have to take all the laboratory Pokémon.

We know that!

There!

Yeah, yeah.

This is a hot spring, but it is not a hot spring, nor is it a hotel. You can't stay here.

It really is a tourist resort. Overloaded with seafood.

Eat more quietly...

What?

What is it, mister?

The Pokémon Laboratory is under attack!

What?

Heave-ho!

If we take them all...

It's like long-haul seine fishing.

A huge catch!

Heave-ho, heave-ho!

Oh no, the Pokémon!

Don't worry. Leave this to us.

Go, Pidgeotto!

Pikachu, work with Pidgeotto to take back the Pokémon!

Heave-ho, heave-ho!

Could...

...this be...

It is.

Our arrangements!

This feels bad!

You have my thanks for rescuing the Laboratory's Pokémon just as if you were residents of Cinnabar Island.

As thanks, I'll now tell you where Katsura's Gym is.

Really?

Above is a flood, below is a great fire. What am I?

Another riddle, huh?

I don't get what he said...

Above is a flood, below is a great fire, huh?

A disaster movie, maybe?

The answer could be a bath?

But does that mean the Gym is open?

Where's Togepi?

Togepi?

Watch out, Togepi! You'll get burned!

Hey, don't you feel like it's steadily getting hotter?

I think you're right.

A door...

That's hot!

What is this?

This is...

There's a Pokémon Gym underneath the open-air baths.

No doubt this is the great fire beneath the flood.

Welcome, everybody.

Huh? You're the guy from the Pension.

If you don't know about me, you can talk about me without worry...

If you do know about me, you can't talk about me at all. What am I?

A test answer?

That's when you can say something you know, not something you don't.

That's right...

It's a katsura (wig)!

What?

If you don't know they're there, you can talk about them without worrying.

If you do know about someone's wig, you can't talk about it at all.

Spot on!

Katsura?

Indeed! I am Katsura, Cinnabar Gym's Leader.

We kind of got that.

So who will be having a 3 VS 3 Gym Leader battle with me?

I will!

Satoshi, I'm pretty sure this guy uses Fire-type Pokémon.

This is the time to use Water-types.

Got it.

Are you okay to begin?

At anytime!

All right! Here comes my first player!

Ninetails, the Fox Pokémon.

The evolved form of the Fire-type Pokémon, Vulpix.

So it's Fire-types after all. In that case, here we go.

Go, Squirtle!

Water-type, as expected.

Go, Ninetails!

Fire Spin!

So sudden! That's a powerful Fire-type move!

Squirtle, Water Gun!

Squirtle!

Squirtle, are you okay?

Winning or losing won't be decided on compatibility alone.

That's a Gym battle for you.

If that's how it is, I'll meet fire with fire.

I'm counting on you to be willing to do this.

Charizard, I choose you!

Charizard?

Return, Ninetails!

If that's how you're battling, here's my second player!

Rhydon, the Drill Pokémon.

The evolved form of Rhyhorn. Their large horn gives them great offensive power.

I'm counting on you, Charizard. Please fight!

I'm begging you.

It's still hopeless...

Your level is insufficient, it seems.

Rhydon, Horn Drill!

Charizard!

Charizard is outside the ring.

Rhydon wins.

Satoshi...

I'm counting on you, Pikachu. Go for it.

A Pikachu cannot compete with a Rhydon.

You don't know until you try!

Go, Pikachu!

Rhydon, Fury Attack!

Pretty good.

Pikachu, Thunderbolt!

Pointless. Electric shocks have no effect on Rhydon.

You can do it, Pikachu!

What?

Yes!

I see! Rhydon's horn is just like a lightning rod!

That's where the lightning can strike.

Return, Rhydon!

Your Pikachu is excellent.

Okay, what's up next?

The hottest flame in the world...

I am the hot flame that moves the magma within the magma...

What am I?

I'm telling you, I'm no good at riddles!

Appear, Magmar!

What's that?

That's a...

Magmar, the Fire-Breathing Pokémon.

They have high-temperature bodies. From their mouths, they spit fire.

They're said to have been discovered near volcanic craters.

Magmar, Fire Punch!

Very good, Pikachu! That's the way!

Don't falter now, Pikachu.

It's like an air lens.

Air lens?

Warm air becomes like a lens.

It's able to diffuse the electric shocks.

No way...

Pikachu!

There's no way out!

Magmar, Fire Blast!

Satoshi, Fire Blast is the ultimate Fire-type move.

At this rate, Pikachu will be incinerated.

But we can't give up after coming this far...

Go, Magmar!

Pikachu!

Magmar's knock-out Fire Blast is imminent.

Pikachu's in a huge pinch.

The Cinnabar Gym battle continues next time!

(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~!)

Katsura's Magmar is strong.

How can we win against that powerful Fire move?

Then, thanks to the Rocket Gang's actions, it looks like the volcano's going to erupt!

It's a huge pinch on Cinnabar Island!

I've got no choice but to rely on them for this one.

Charizard, I choose you!

Next time on Pocket Monsters:

"Decisive Battle! Cinnabar Gym!"

Everyone, get Pokémon!

Decisive Battle! Cinnabar Gym!
