(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 returned to his home in Pallet Town.

He's preparing for the Pokémon League two months from now.

He should be striving to do some strict independent training every day, however...

He should be striving, however...?

What's going on?

The Gloom of the Botanical Garden

Sunny-side up fried eggs for Satoshi...

Eggs fried in soy sauce for Kasumi.

Thank you.

Satoshi?

After you've eaten, please help me in the herb garden around back.

You're taking a break from independent training, right?

I'm doing my independent training. I'm thinking about going right now.

Oh, really? Where are you going?

We-well...

The mountains! Yes, the mountains.

I'm going to stand under a waterfall to train my spirit.

What? You never said anything about that!

It's been all about the beach recently, so I've got to go with mountains.

Come on then, let's get going!

Hey, Satoshi!

Hurry, hurry!

Why do we have to leave in such a fluster?

Mama will work us to the bone!

It won't just be helping out in the herb garden.

I won't get to do any independent training without my legs or back working.

That's a surprise. She seems like such a sweet mother.

Hey!

If you're going to the mountains, stop by the Murasame Botanical Garden.

Bring back lots of herbs in this trailer.

Here she comes.

Run!

We're off!

Hey!

We're safe.

Huh? What's that?

What is it?

It's a huge greenhouse.

This is the Murasame Botanical Garden my mother was talking about.

I came here when I was little, but it looks a little rundown now.

The country is broken, though hills and rivers remain...

In the garden, grass and trees are thick ("soumokufukashi"), I suppose.

What's that? A story about steamed sweet potatoes? ("fukashi-imo")

You're such a glutton.

Beautiful flowers that match the beautiful girl!

What are you talking about, Takeshi? Where's the beautiful girl?

She's right here.

She's in misunderstanding mode and saying weird things, too.

No, no. Look inside the greenhouse.

That's a Gloom, right?

Who are you calling smelly?

The Gloom.

I'm sure she was in there!

Who are you people?

That's...

A fl-flamethrower!

We're nobody suspicious.

Please spare our lives!

Huh?

I see...

Independent training to prepare for the Pokémon League, huh?

Sounds tough.

I'm Iwakaze, a staff member here.

The Murasame is open to everyone.

Really? In that case...

Bulbasaur, I choose you!

Bulbasaur, let's explore together.

Hey! Don't rush like that!

Umm... Excuse me...

There was a beautiful girl in the greenhouse earlier...

Oh, that'll be Miss Lindow.

Lindow? What a beautiful name.

Wow! How pretty!

Where's Bulbasaur?

There they are.

What's the matter, Bulbasaur?

Pokémon Silver Vine...

It makes Grass Pokémon feel good when they smell it.

Okay, Bulbasaur...

Is that okay?

Bulbasaur!

Is this silver vine, too?

Do not sniff that scent!

That's Numbing Grass. If either a person or Pokémon smell it...

They will be paralyzed and will be unable to move.

What?

What should we do?

Gloom, bring Bulbasaur into the house.

Here...

Thank goodness, Bulbasaur.

This Gloom has become immune while looking after the Botanical Garden's Numbing Grass.

So you'll be fine if you drink this nectar.

Thank you, Miss Lindow.

Bulbasaur?

Those two really look like they're getting along.

Isn't it nice to deepen the relationship between fellow Grass Pokémon?

How about deepening the relationship between fellow humans?

The Murasame family have been experts in plant cultivation for generations.

Our family's precept is that one who gets plant Pokémon

and helps them grow to stand on their own

can then inherit the Murasame Botanical Garden.

Does that mean you have to go to the Pokémon League?

No, my Gloom is not on that level.

The truth is...

Miss Lindow's Gloom

can't even evolve into Vileplume with that Leaf Stone.

I'm just no good.

I do not have enough love, so my Gloom cannot evolve.

No, it's not Gloom's skill level.

Because your love has been poured into it, Miss Lindow.

Thank you for that, however...

It's not an issue of having love or not.

Professor Ōkido?

This Leaf Stone is a fake.

Professor, what do you mean by that?

Recently, fake evolution stones have been sold.

Suspicious folk have been popping up.

I've been going around researching it.

What kind of person did you buy the stone from?

I think it was a gentleman with hair like this...

...and a lady with hair like this.

A group of three including a talking Meowth.

That has to be the Rocket Gang!

However it is we're like...

it is the world's pity to be shown hair like this.

To prevent the destruction of such a world like this...

To protect the peace of such a world like that...

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...

Yeah, yeah... Nya-t's about right...

We thought we'd find rare Pokémon if we followed Professor Ōkido around...

Yet we're in this place for no reason.

If we could just find some rare Pokémon...

Dangerous Numbing Grass?

It's not a Pokémon, but couldn't we use this?

Nyice!

Who is it?

Gloom

I must be the one to inherit the Murasame Botanical Garden.

Yet I let the Rocket Gang deceive me

and bought a fake Leaf Stone.

I am hopeless.

It's all right. We'll find a way.

What do you mean find a way, Takeshi?

It won't be easy getting our hands on a Leaf Stone.

First, we'll catch the Rocket Gang and punish them.

I don't think it'll be that easy to find them...

I'm not so sure about that.

I think they'll turn up sooner or later.

This is bad. Somebody's getting into the greenhouse plants!

This time worked out well.

A gentleman with hair like this and a lady with hair like this and a talking Meowth...

That's the group of three!

See?

The Rocket Gang...

Look who's here, the same-old trio of people who get in the way for no reason.

That's our line!

Anyway, let's get down there!

Please stop that!

That grass is like a beloved child to me.

Oh, I know your voice from somewhere...

It's the customer from last week, isn't it?

Rocket Gang!

How dare you sell a fake Leaf Stone to Miss Lindow!

It's her own fault we managed to pull a grass one... I mean a fast one. She's supposed to be a plant expert.

That's right!

Moron!

Unforgivable!

Grass Pokémon for the Botanical Garden. Satoshi, Bulbasaur!

No need to tell me.

Go, Bulbasaur!

Bulbasaur, capture them with Vine Whip!

That was wonderful, Bulbasaur.

How's that?

Now, I think it's time for us to be going?

Today, we have a secret weapon.

What?

Meowth, what are you doing?!

This isn't the time to be making medicine without a care in the world!

Do nyot panic, youngsters...

I've concocted a miraculous elixir that was imported to Japan by early European traders...

The Numbing Grass Bomb.

Here we go!

Everyone, don't breathe in that powder! It's powerful Numbing Powder!

We kind of breathed it in...

My body...

I can't move...

I'm weak in the knees...

Taking this.

Pi... Pikachu!

How unexpected. We're getting Pikachu, too.

Pikachu...

Miss Lindow...

Please fight with Gloom, quickly!

But I've never fought with Gloom.

My Gloom only does things by halves.

I am sure it cannot do anything...

I shall infuse some antidote now.

If you do that, they'll take Pikachu away!

There's no time for that!

Only your Gloom can fight now!

But...

Miss Lindow!

If it's you, I know you can do it!

I understand.

Gloom!

This one looks weak. That's no enemy.

But, we sold a fight, so we'll have to buy this one.

Arbok!

Weezing!

Arbok, Toxic!

Weezing, Smog!

Gloom!

I knew it. It is hopeless with my Gloom.

That's not true.

Are there any moves that Gloom might remember?

You have to try! Don't give up!

Gloom, how about we try a Double Team for example?

Double...

...Team?

Oh nyo! A whole ring of Gloom!

You did it! Now's your chance.

Finish them off with another strong move.

Okay!

Perhaps I should try a Solar Beam or something?

What? It's learned the ultimate Grass Pokémon move?

Is that not suitable?

I had thought it would be part of a daughter from a respectable family's etiquette.

I-it should be rather suitable.

Please strike them with that.

I will!

Gloom, release a Solar Beam!

That hurt! They bit me!

What are you pulling?

This feels bad!

Excuse me, how was I?

Rather skillful...

I've never seen such an impressive Solar Beam.

Really!

Miss...

Has all the numbness worn off?

Yes. Everyone's fine, thanks to Gloom's nectar.

I had not known I had raised my Gloom to be so strong.

Miss Lindow, Gloom has grown splendidly with your love.

It is now a Pokémon that can stand on its own.

There'll be no need to force Gloom to evolve.

Thank you, Mr. Takeshi.

I was pessimistic about raising Gloom to stand on its own, inheriting the Murasame Botanical Garden,

and also conveying my real heart to the one I love.

Now, I can tell the person I love my true feelings.

That's... well...

The answer will forever be "yes, I do".

I have my dream of becoming a Pokémon Breeder, but

being the groom of Murasame Botanical Garden by your side, Miss Lindow...

I want to try following through! It will be splendid!

What are you talking to yourself about, Takeshi?

Are you still affected by the Numbing Grass?

Mr. Iwakaze!

Please protect the Murasame Botanical Garden together with me.

Do you mean it?

Yes. This is my confession of love.

Yes, of course!

Let's protect and grow the Murasame Botanical Garden together.

Yes... I do...

The petals of my love has scattered just like the petals of a Gloom.

Come on, it's not so bad. Let's get these herbs back home.

Bulbasaur, you guys help, too!

What do you mean "it's not so bad"?

You didn't do any independent training today in the end, either!

What are you going to do, Satoshi?

Tomorrow. Tomorrow for sure!

Come on...

The Pokémon League will soon open before their eyes...

However, Satoshi and his friends never seem to change.

In a blue blue quiet night

In a blue blue quiet night

I philosophize alone-nya

Down in the thicket

Down in the thicket

The bugs tumble

Tonight I'm not eating them-nya

The moon is so round

So round, round...

Professor Ōkido's Pokémon Lecture

Now then, this round's Pokémon is...

Pi-Pikachu!

#066.

That's right. It's Machop.

Machop's signature move is Karate Chop, as I'm sure you all know.

Their special characteristic is the muscles over their entire body.

This doubles the power of the Karate Chop.

It's been reported that, thanks to these muscles, they can easily hurl objects of 600kg.

Firstly, let's experiment and see whether they can hurl 600kg in practice.

We're depending on you, Machop.

Hang on!

Don't throw me!

Now, for the poem...

A-I-U-E-O.

At the end of the syllabary...

...Machop.

Everyone, you must get Pokémon as well!

We've come to a campsite for some independent training.

Oh! They're filming a Pokémon movie!

The heroine is a Wigglytuff!

The attention-seeking Rocket Gang appear on the film set and cause absolute chaos.

All right. Let's go, Pikachu!

We'll show them who the protagonist is!

Next time on Pocket Monsters:

"Pokémon: the Movie!"

Everyone, get Pokémon!

Pokémon: the Movie!
