(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!

Continuing their journey, Satoshi and his friends return to Viridian City.

Their destination is the Viridian Gym.

There, the eighth Badge awaits.

Viridian City... I haven't been here in a long time.

Satoshi, the Pokémon Center has been restored.

Yeah.

Hey, I see the Gym.

Viridian Gym has the Green Badge.

Viridian Gym! The Final Badge!

Finally, I'm here.

The eighth one, the Green Badge, is in this Gym.

I will get it!

Hot...

I'm on fire today!

Oh, Satoshi really is on fire.

So, why are you guys making an actual fire?!

Ah, hot, hot, hot!

Hey, what are you doing, Pikachu?

Thank you, Pikachu.

You were trying to set my heart on fire?

I have to respond to this burning friendship!

That's a manly type of friendship!

I can't keep up with you guys.

Satoshi, you guys are still making dumb jokes.

Great, great, Shigeru!

Cool, cool, Shigeru!

Sh-Shigeru?

I thought you gave up on being a Pokémon Master and went back to Pallet Town.

I have to commend you for showing up.

What did you say?!

Cool it, Satoshi.

I see you haven't got the 8 Badges yet, right?

Have you got all of them?!

Take a look at my Badges.

I've gotten 10 Badges so far.

I've already qualified for the Pokémon League.

On my way back to Pallet Town,

I stopped by the gym to test my skills with the Gym Leader.

I am Shigeru from Pallet Town.

I've come here to challenge the Gym Leader to an official match!

Let's go with them, Pikachu!

The rule is that only one person at a time may attend the Pokémon match!

Gi-Gimme a break!

That's the rule!

If I let him do as he pleases, Shigeru will get ahead of me!

That's hardly what I'd call unprecedented.

Hey, hey, how could you say that?

Because it's true.

It may be true that I'm in fourth place...

...but I always try my hardest, and do whatever I can.

Thank you.

You're the only one who truly understands my feelings.

Pikachu!

Togepi!

What have you done to my Togepi?!

S-Sorry, I was being Kasumi.

Wha...?

No, I was being impulsive. ("hazumi")

You bonehead!

Togepi!

Well, where the heck are those twerps?

We should try to get that Pikachu as soon as possible.

Otherwise we'll get fired from the Rocket Gang.

What did you do to me, Meowth?!

I didn't do anything!

Liar! You smacked my butt, didn't you?!

I'm nyot interested in your butt at all!

Togepi!

How lucky we are!

If we take this Togepi to the boss...

Good job.

I'll cancel all of your debts immediately.

Something like that might happen!

Come, come, come on, Togepi.

Hey, wait, Togepi!

Oh no! Togepi!

Togepi!

It's dangerous there!

You'll be seriously hurt if you fall!

Togepi, come here!

We've got to pay off our debts. I have no choice.

Bravely...

Hooray, hooray, Musashi!

Go for it, go for it, Musashi!

You got this!

Do your best!

What am I, tofu?

What do they think I'm putting myself at risk for here, anyway?!

No good!

Ready!

Why, you...

I got Togepi!

Go, go, Shigeru!

Fight, fight, Shigeru!

I'm the Viridian Gym Leader, Sakaki.

I'm Shigeru, the best Trainer in Pallet Town.

You seem quite spirited.

All right then, I accept this challenge.

You may use three Pokémon.

No time limit.

This is an official match. Begin!

Nidoking, I trust you!

Go, Golem.

Golem, a Tackle.

Nidoking, counter its Tackle with your Tackle!

Golem is unable to battle!

He did it, he did it, Shigeru did it!

Not bad. Well then, the next one is this.

I see what you're up to.

Kingler, the Pincer Pokémon.

Its strong pincers have 10,000 horsepower.

Kingler, use your Crabhammer.

Return, Nidoking.

You've trained it very well.

But my honey won't lose.

I'm counting on you, Arcanine!

Arcanine, do a Take Down!

Next, a Fire Spin!

Good going, Shigeru!

Go, go, Shigeru!

You are the best, after all!

Thank you, my beautiful fans.

I can't make them wait any longer.

Time to wrap this one up.

Finish it with a great Fire Blast!

Kingler is unable to battle!

Won, won, he won again!

Great, great, Shigeru!

It would be a waste of my time to continue fighting.

It would seem that I have won.

I don't think so.

What?!

I hold the absolute power.

I'm going to show it to you now.

Arcanine!

What in the world is that?!

No data available. Mysterious Pokémon.

No data available?

This amusing Gym match is over.

Even all of your Pokémon put together wouldn't stand a chance.

Yeah, right!

Then why don't you try?

All right!

Go, Nidoking!

Arcanine, can you go again?

I will show you the true meaning of fear, kid.

Nidoking! Arcanine!

Did you see that, kid?

That was true fear.

The absolute power.

Who is it?

Arcanine

Boss, we captured a magnificent Pokémon today!

It's an even more rare Pokémon than Pikachu.

We've finally got it!

What are you talking about?

We got a very rare Pokémon for you.

Here!

So, what can it do?

Well, what can it do?

Don't know...

Dunnyo...

As you see, it can make people feel calm and relaxed.

You idiots!

Just what have you complete incompetents done so far?!

Please forgive us!

It's me.

What?!

I-Impossible...

I've got urgent business. I'll leave you in charge of this gym.

What?

We're in charge...?

Take charge of the gym until I return, using these.

That means...

...the Gym Leaders are...

...us!

What a great feeling!

The time has come when we need your power.

Come with me.

Togepi, where are you?!

Come out, Togepi!

Where are you?!

Hey, Togepi!

Togepi! Say something!

Did you find Togepi?

Well, we searched everywhere, but...

Togepi is probably crying somewhere, all alone!

Satoshi! If anything happens to Togepi, I'll never forgive you!

C-Cool it, Kasumi!

Shut up, Takeshi!

Okay.

That voice is...

It's Togepi!

One, two...

Togepi!

Oh, I was worried about you, Togepi.

But why was it here?

Look, Satoshi!

Shigeru!

Ladies!

Be strong, Shigeru!

Shigeru, just what happened here?

I was beaten by this Pokémon I've never seen before.

It has amazing powers.

My Pokémon couldn't do anything.

Shigeru couldn't do anything...

Shigeru was defeated...

Don't cry! He only lost one time!

If Satoshi were to cry every time he lost, his eyes would have dried up already!

How could you say that?!

Nobody can defeat that one.

Shigeru...

What is that?!

Whatever it is you ask us about...

it is the world's pity to answer you!

To prevent the world's destruction.

To protect the world's peace.

Fulfilling the evils of love and truth.

The lovely, charmy villains.

Musashi!

Kojirō!

No!

Wait a minute!

Don't go taking our best lines!

It's because you always say the same lines over and over again!

But you are wrong this time.

We are completely different today!

Right!

We've gone through big and small waves, and finally we've made it.

You'll be surprised to hear this!

The Gym Leaders here are...

...us!

What?!

You guys are the Gym Leaders?!

Today... some time ago... actually just now, this gym was left to us!

Twinkle!

That's a Green Badge!

That means this Gym belongs to the Rocket Gang?!

How could the Rocket Gang own...?

The Rocket Gang has a big goal, which brats like you will never understand.

What is that?!

If you ask us "what is that..."

What is that?

Well...

Anyway, it's a big, big goal.

To be honest, we dunnyo what it is!

If you want this Green Badge so much, why don't you defeat us?!

That's what we want to do!

Especially since we got a special ring this time!

Get in the Trainer box, brat boy.

Satoshi, it's a trap!

They must have put some sort of device in it.

If you run away, you'll forfeit this match.

Who's going to run away?!

There is no time limit.

We can each use three Pokémon, okay?

Yeah, that's fine!

Go, my servants!

What a great feeling!

They work quite well.

Surprising.

Be careful, Satoshi. They're not the same as before.

All right...

Squirtle, I choose you!

Squirtle isn't really much of an opponent, huh?

Machamp, Karate Chop!

Satoshi!

This ring has a device that allows the Trainer to feel the same pain that the Pokémon feels!

You should understand the pain that your Pokémon suffers!

It's hopeless. The power imbalance is too great.

Bulbasaur, I trust you!

Then the next one is Kingler.

Go!

Bulbasaur, use your Vine Whip!

Kingler, Harden!

It's useless!

Seems like it had no effect at all.

Kingler, a Bubble attack!

Give it up already, Satoshi! The power disparity is too great!

I'll never give up.

I believe in their power.

We'll...

never be beaten!

Sa-Satoshi...

Go, Pidgeotto! Use Quick Attack!

Attack now, Satoshi!

Pidgeotto, Double-Edge!

Kojirō!

Why am I feeling the pain of those shocks?!

Kojirō!

Kojirō! Kojirō!

I didn't even think it was possible for us to lose this time.

Don't worry.

I made a reversal device just in case.

I'm going to blow them off using this!

Don't be such cowards!

In that case, let's start an all-out attack!

Arbok, Weezing, go!

It's against the rules to bring in any new Pokémon!

In this Gym, we play by my rules.

Is that possible?

Pikachu, I trust you!

We did it! We won!

Thanks, everyone!

We won thanks to you guys.

Great, great, Satoshi!

Great, great, Satoshi!

Great, great, Satoshi!

Well, you're still in fourth place, but you did a great job this time.

But you can't fight like that against that mysterious Pokémon.

Musashi, be strong!

Are you all right?

Why is it always me, always me, always me...

Always me, always me...huh?

Hey, Musashi!

I won this match!

Give me the Green Badge, like you promised you would!

I'll never give it to you!

What?! You're a cheater!

I've always been a cheater!

Don't push those buttons!

I booby-trapped this box, too.

What?!

This feels bad!

I did it! I got the Green Badge!

The building is going to collapse! Everybody, let's get out of here!

Anyway, how strong is the mysterious Pokémon that Shigeru was talking about?

I don't know.

Anyway, I got the eighth Badge, so now I qualify for the Pokémon League.

Let's go to the League immediately!

All right, let's go together!

But do you even know where it's taking place?

I guess not.

What a slacker you are!

Why don't we ask Professor Ōkido?

That's it.

So let's return to Pallet Town then.

Okay!

Finally, Satoshi and his friends have gotten the long desired eighth Badge...

...and they begin their journey back to Pallet Town in high spirits.

(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~!)

Professor Ōkido's Pokémon Lecture

Today's Pokémon is...

Pi-Pikachu!

As you know, #004 is Charmander.

Although each Charmander is slightly different...

...its Flamethrower is so powerful that it can burn through a thick iron plate.

It's quite surprising that the record for its Flamethrower is over 1,500°C.

But the temperature of the flame is adjustable...

...so it is even useful for walking in the dark.

And it can boil water like this.

Surely it is a useful Pokémon.

Now, for the poem.

Charmander has...

...in its shiny burning flames...

...a human shadow.

Well, clearly I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Everyone, you must get Pokémon as well!

We arrive back home, in Pallet Town.

A Pokémon circus is taking place?

We've got to go see it!

Then the Rocket Gang shows up unexpectedly.

Their aim is to capture the Pokémon from the circus.

We can't let them!

I will protect the Pokémon circus!

Next time on Pocket Monsters:

"The Mr. Mime of the Pokémon Circus"

Everyone, get Pokémon!

The Mr. Mime of the Pokémon Circus
