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!

Morning comes to Pallet Town as usual.

The Pokémon League is coming up, and Satoshi is supposed to be training hard.

Now, we've got to work hard today.

Of course.

Satoshi of Pallet Town is working hard day and night!

No kidding. Then what have you been doing until today?

Okay, here's your mail.

Oh my, oh my, oh my...

Oh my! It's an invitation to see a movie.

It's the premiere screening of the Pokémon movie.

The location is in the city of movies, Holliwood.

Wow, Holliwood!

The city of movies, where everyone wants to go!

It's full of beautiful actresses.

Let's all go!

Let's go right now!

Not again!

What about my training?!

You aren't going, Satoshi?

I am, I am! I'm going to Holliwood!

Hey, how can we not go?

But we were not invited.

What are you talking about?

How much do you think we contributed to this movie?!

We interfered more than we contributed.

Either way, there is no way that we are not in this movie.

Oh, the grandeur of Holliwood!

Movies, movies...

Perhaps we will become big stars?

Camera, lights, action!

Holliwood... such bitter memories.

Meowth's A-I-U-E-O

I am Meowth.

But I don't even have a name.

Worse still, I didn't have parents, siblings, or even a home.

I was always hungry.

Baseballs looked to me like tasty rice balls.

Punishment for a naughty Meowth!

I wore myself out crying and ended up falling asleep...

And then...

What I am about to show you is something called a movie that was made in Holliwood.

I am traveling from place to place, trying to get everyone interested in movies.

That became a memory that I will never forget for the rest of my life.

Ice cream...

Fried chicken...

My fondest memories.

Holliwood seemed like a magical land where anyone could have ice cream and fried chicken.

And then, at the end of a long tunnel...

There it was, Holliwood.

Holliwood!

Holliwood!

Holliwood!

Holliwood, wow!

Boop Oopy Doo!

This is the Holliwood that I was longing for?

Is this possible?

But this is reality.

Why?

Movies cost too much money.

Since we are in hard times, they don't make movies very often anymore.

There is only one movie that is going to be screened in the Binnu Festival this year.

That's right! I risked everything on a once in a lifetime chance, to make "Pokémon: the Movie!"

It's certain to win the Binnu Festival, since it's the only entry.

This town has really changed.

Meowth, have you been to this town before?

Everyone has something that they don't talk about.

He's kind of...

...serious.

I'll be back by the time the movie starts.

I nyeed to be alone for a while.

This town has really changed.

But Holliwood wasn't so easy back then, either.

Step right up! Holliwood's famous ice cream, fried chicken, crepes, and fried noodles...

It's him!

Hey, you dirty Meowth!

Come back here!

I couldn't eat ice cream or fried chicken easily.

Where such a Meowth ends up is...

Hey, you dirty Meowth!

That day, I ate fried chicken for the first time in my life.

I also ate ice cream, crepes, and fried noodles.

That store...

That's where I met...

You dirty Meowth! What are you doing to my Madonnya?

Come on, Madonnya, get in here.

The Monster Ball I bought today is covered in hundreds of diamonds!

She was a Meowth who liked diamonds better than gold coins.

She said in the Meowth language: "Can you adorn me with jewels, like my owner?"

"No, you can't. My owner is a human."

"If you want my love, can you be like a human?"

"And a rich one?"

"No, you can't."

Become like a human...

A human...

Who is it?

Meowth, of the Rocket Gang

Nya-t's about right...

Romeo, Romeo...

Wherefore art thou, Romeo?

Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?

This place has changed quite a bit, too.

Humans walk on two legs.

I wanted to walk like a human, too.

I learned how to walk standing up, after all.

Hey!

But instead...

Damn Meowth, I won't forgive you!

I won't, I won't!

I wasn't used to running upright.

Even so...

Today, let's do vocal exercises.

I Ro Ha Ni Ho He To...

Chi Ri Nu Ru O...

I Ro Ha Ni Ho He To...

Chi Ri Nu Ru O...

I didn't give up.

In a blue blue quiet night

I philosophize alone-nya

Down in the thicket

The bugs tumble

and chirp deliciously, but

Tonight I'm not eating them-nya

As usual, I couldn't escape quickly enough.

I got beaten up badly every day.

I as in I Ro Ha.

I as in I Ro Ha.

Louder!

I as in I Ro Ha.

Now articulate it!

I as in I Ro Ha.

All right!

That's the first thing that I learned of the human language.

Ro as in Rocket.

If I hadn't learned this next...

Whatever one may say...

We are the Rocket Gang after all.

I might never have joined the Rocket Gang.

Ha as in Happy.

Ni as in Meowth!

I Ro Ha Ni Ho He To...

ABC..

The lights of fireflies are the snow of spring...

Chi Ri Nu Ru O...

XYZ!

I did it!

Look, look! Look at me!

I can walk upright!

I can speak the human language!

Casting pearls before swine, that's right.

I am as good as a human.

Oh yes! Here is a flower bouquet for you, Madonnya.

Madonnya said: "What exactly is human about you?"

"Take a good look at yourself."

"You are a Meowth with a filthy gold coin."

"First of all, a Meowth that walks upright and speaks the human language is disgusting."

Disgusting...?

Disgusting?!

In that case, I will become an evil that exceeds all humans

and show Madonnya my power!

That's when I left this town.

I haven't seen her since.

And I am still an underling of that evil organization, the Rocket Gang.

You are...

The movie is about to start.

Where did Meowth go?

Meowth...?

Are you asking me to come back to your gang?

It will be easier to steal if you have a Meowth that speaks the human language.

I see.

My crimes with the Rocket Gang have tarnished my soul enough.

An offer I can't refuse?

Why?

You are... you are Madonnya!

Your owner abandoned you?

Come on, Madonnya.

I'm sorry.

I can't afford to keep you while the world is going through such hard times.

You'll have to find a new owner here.

What happened then?

You forgot about the past?

What are you going to do now?

You don't know about such a distant future?

No!

You don't belong here, Madonnya!

I'll rescue you!

Don't touch her!

Bright lights are seen at the end of the universe

Their beautiful faces are...

Musashi!

Kojirō!

Meowth, it's Meowth!

Why are you here, Musashi and Kojirō?

Everyone has something that they don't talk about.

But on the evil road that we follow, the hearts that understand each other are similar!

We can only understand something by seeing the situation.

We can find any scene of carnage in the nick of time.

Helping without being asked is what makes us human!

Are we not friends?

Musashi! Kojirō!

Leave these small fries to us.

Go, Arbock!

Weezing!

All right.

Madonnya!

Why does this always happen to us?

I wanted to ask the same thing.

"I've lived my life for this Persian for far too long."

"I can't go back to my former life."

"Besides..."

What?

What did she say?

"After all, a Meowth that speaks the human language is disgusting!"

Oh my.

That spoils everything.

How was it?

A masterpiece, right?

The movie world has produced another masterpiece.

I don't know if I'd call that a masterpiece.

Were we even in that movie?

Not at all!

What's going on?

I thought I saw something that looked like Pikachu and Togepi's backs.

This is the Pokémon movie.

It's part of the art that you guys aren't in it.

Making fine art is not easy!

What's up with that?

Why invite us, if we're not even in it?

I agree.

But we all made it together.

This is also your movie!

If you are inviting everyone...

You mustn't forget about us.

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!

The Rocket Gang duo soars through the galaxy!

A white hole, a white tomorrow awaits us!

Nya-t's about right!

What do you guys want this time?

Nothing.

We just don't want you to forget about us.

So goodbye for nyow!

On three, everyone.

This feels bad!

What was that about?

They say they were forgotten.

Just like we were...

What does Meowth think of when he looks at the moon?

Why is the moon round?

Since I said goodbye to Pallet town

I guess a bit of time has passed

As with the number of scrapes, cuts, and friends I've got

They all give me a sense of pride

A while ago, because they were so popular

I ran out to buy these sneakers

And now, anywhere else in the world

They can't even be found

They're the best pair of worn out shoes!

Before you know it, Type: Wild!

Little by little, Type: Wild!

More and more, Type: Wild!

I will become strong, Type: Wild!

And someday I will say:

"Hello, my dream."

Professor Ōkido's Pokémon Lecture

Well, today's Pokémon is...

Pi-Pikachu!

#074.

Yes, Geodude.

It is found that Geodude has the ability to disguise itself when it waits for prey,

camouflaging itself in stones and rocks.

It's usually a very quiet Pokémon.

But you should be careful, because, if you step on it by accident,

it might get angry and attack you all of a sudden.

Well, can you find Geodude here?

Right here.

Geodude's massage is the best after all.

Now for a poem.

On the street, he is...

...taking a comfortable nap...

...Geodude.

Everyone, you must get Pokémon as well!

We go to Mount Miyazaki for training.

Here Shiba, one of the four emperors, is also in training.

Let's meet Shiba right away and ask about Pokémon.

Then, Onix suddenly attacks us with an Earthquake.

And who is that man who confronts Onix?

Next on Pocket Monsters:

"Enter Elite Four Shiba!"

Everyone, get Pokémon!

Enter Elite Four Shiba!
