(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!

Go, Quick Attack!

All right, we'll go with Quick Attack, too!

Satoshi and his friends have set up camp in the mountains.

They're in the midst of independent training as they aim for the upcoming Pokémon League.

Pikachu, use an electric attack!

Vulpix, Flamethrower!

Pikachu, wait!

Vulpix, wait!

What was that?

Not sure.

Fierce Battle! The Super-Ancient Pokémon

Woah. Pikachu's really powered up.

That's not the issue.

What is this?

It's like some kind of ruins...

What's this?

Wow, how pretty!

Maybe you've discovered a treasure?

It has to be! No doubt about it!

Excuse me...

Leader! It's the Golden Eye!

We've found it at last.

Well done.

I'm the first discoverer, Takeshi.

Today is a very lucky day.

Thank you very much. I'm Hokuto. Nice to meet you.

But I can't believe we found it so quickly!

Excuse me...

Well done, Professor. Your hypothesis has been substantiated.

Excuse me...

Let's move our camp here and investigate the area thoroughly.

The arrangements have already been made.

That's my Leader!

Excuse me...

Oh? Who are you?

I can smell it!

The scent of money!

Lots of treasures of gold and silver!

Coins before cats...

This dogū clay figure is a Psyduck, right?

It's surprising to think an ancient civilization worshiped Psyduck.

I read about the Pokémonia Civilization a long time ago in a book.

The Pokémonia Civilization?

I'm pretty sure it was an ancient city that was destroyed by a cataclysm in a single night...

Right?

They worshiped Pokémon as supernatural forces.

However, they never pinpointed its location.

Could this be the place?

What we've excavated in these mountains has substantiated that legend.

Starting with...

Professor!

Look at this!

The same crystal as the Golden Eye, right?

Where did this come from?

On the other side of the dōtaku bell.

The two forces of the Pokémonia Civilization...

I wonder if these are it?

Forces?

Hey, Hokuto. Why does everyone call you "Professor"?

She deciphered the Pokémonia alphabet at age six.

She's a genius girl who has obtained her doctorate and breathed new life into the scientific community.

A genius girl?

No excuses for you young boys and girls out there!

Come on!

Go that way, Leader!

Professor?

Amazing...

I don't think we can just call her Hokuto now.

You can call me that just fine!

I just love ancient civilizations so much!

Okay?

What's the matter, Pikachu?

This is the slate.

Wow. So this is the Pokémonia alphabet?

What's written here?

You want to know?

Two forces that will destroy the world...

Black darkness will dye the sky...

The Golden Eye will confuse the mind.

The war that divides the world will leave people hopelessly lost in a whirlpool.

The door to the next world will open in the sky.

Here is the power to quell everything.

Become a ball and never return to the horizon.

I don't understand...

So that's the riddle I want to unravel.

Why was the Pokémonia Civilization destroyed?

Let's unravel it! Let's excavate! Let's do it!

Come on!

What's gotten into him?

He's sort of always like this.

A super ancient Civilization nyat worships and reveres Pokémon sounds nyice.

Worship me!

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...

Shh! Let's find the treasure immediately!

But it's in that van?

That's small pickings.

The real treasure is sure to be deep within.

Go, Arbok!

Arbok, dive under the ground.

Bring back the most amazing treasures.

Good things come to those who wait.

Kojirō, what will you do when you get your hands on that treasure?

Well, first thing's to pay back my debts.

What's with this stingy nonsense?

At least say something like buying two or three southern islands!

You're right! I don't have to think about promotions!

I'll just be the company president!

You'll be the chief!

You'll be the monarch!

The sorrows of the salaryman...

You'll be the owner!

You'll be the master!

Yay!

They did it!

That's the treasure?

That's sort of a letdown...

Wasn't there anything a bit more flashy?

My body...

I can't move...

This feels bad...

What in the world is this?

It's like something's come out of here.

Professor, could this represent the black darkness?

Take it into the cabin immediately.

Okay.

The Rocket Gang?

Everyone, let's get out of here!

I-I can't move!

What is this? What is this?

Darn! I wanted to see what was happening from the outside!

You seem to be a pretty easy-going fellow.

Isn't that a Gengar?

You're kidding! How can they be so huge?

You're right. It's beyond big!

When we saw one before, it was about my size!

What's with that patterning on it?

Gengar, the Shadow Pokémon.

They are known to be the evolved form of Haunter, but further details are unknown.

They really are a Pokémon!

Black darkness will dye the sky...

This is what that meant!

No way...

Is that stone thing going to absorb us?

What's that?

It's intending to descend the mountain!

Must be heading for the nearest town from here...

That's Pallet Town!

Wait, Satoshi!

We have to hold Gengar back!

That's absurd!

I have to protect my town. Let's go, Pikachu!

I'm going, too!

Hokuto, you have to find a way to seal it again.

Got it!

Who is it?

Alakazam

Leave this to me!

Go, Onix!

Go ahead underground!

Pidgeotto, I choose you!

Pidgeotto, Gust!

Pidgeotto!

We've added a companion.

They're heavy...

Hey, you! Use better attacks!

I should turn you into chicken skewers and eat you!

Onix, Bind attack!

Onix...

Ordinary attacks aren't effective?

What do we do?

Hokuto!

You can't!

You'll get absorbed, too, Takeshi!

Are you saying we should just watch in silence?

What else can we do?

But...

Let go of me!

Hokuto...

What happened to me?

Kadabra?

No...

That's Alakazam!

But it's so big!

Alakazam, the Mindpower Pokémon.

They do not enjoy physical labor and freely use their extra-sensory perception.

Are all super-ancient Pokémon this huge, then?

What's that?

I guess Alakazam is no friend to it.

Two forces that will destroy the world...

Black darkness will dye the sky...

The Golden Eye will confuse the mind.

The war that divides the world will leave people hopelessly lost in a whirlpool.

The door to the next world will open in the sky.

The door to the next world!

The battle between those two is what caused the extinction of Pokémonia Civilization?

Extinction?

Do you think they'll make our own world go extinct?

I don't know. All because I took an interest in it?

I just wanted to know...

You were just trying to make your dreams come true, Hokuto.

Yes. This isn't your fault, Hokuto.

That's right!

I just wish the ancients were easier to understand and gave us a warning.

You're going to get them?

They may be super-ancient and super-large, but a Pokémon's a Pokémon.

Go, Monster Ball!

Even the Monster Ball, the pinnacle of modern science, won't work?

Can we not win against super-ancient forces?

It's Disable!

Pikachu, you can move?

Good. Jump into the river!

Now, Thunderbolt!

Thank you, Pikachu!

We have to do something.

We can't!

According to the slate, humans have no choice but to watch the rampage.

No way...

It's Jigglypuff!

I know! What about Jigglypuff?

That ability?

All right. Very good, Jigglypuff.

Let them hear plenty of your pride... your singing!

That's it, Jigglypuff!

Now, we can get out of here.

I'm feeling sleepy somehow...

Not enough power?

I can hear the song...

Even Jigglypuff couldn't do it?

What is it now?

That's...

This is...

One huge Jigglypuff!

Here is the power to quell everything...

Super-ancient civilization...

Scary stuff.

Yeah...

Wake up, everyone!

Where's the huge Jigglypuff?

Hey!

Are we in a nest?

We got out!

We're saved!

Good for you, Rocket Gang.

The brats!

This was a nightmare.

Right now, we're going home to have some pleasant dreams!

While there is life, there is hope!

Hey, what happened to Gengar and Alakazam?

They became balls and returned to the horizon?

Perhaps a Jigglypuff reigned over the Pokémonia Civilization?

Furthermore, I wonder if these crystals might have been the original Monster Balls?

What? Really?

That will be the topic of my future research.

I'm going to follow the mysteries of the Pokémonia Civilization to the very end.

The mysteries of Pokémon will never stop coming.

Nature is silent and will not speak.

Now, Satoshi. Keep working on your independent training into tomorrow!

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

Now, for this round's Pokémon...

Pi-Pikachu!

#078.

Yes, that's Rapidash.

Rapidash's top speed is 240 kilometres per hour.

Their running ability is so strong, they can clear 30-50 metres in a single jump. Outstanding, isn't it?

Rapidash's mane and tail are blazing flames.

However, mysteriously, they do not burn a Trainer whose heart they've connected with.

That mechanism is an enigma.

Of course, this Rapidash and I are great friends.

Somebody stop this!

Now for the poem.

In a cold winter...

If you have a Rapidash...

You'll be pleasantly warm.

Everyone, you must get Pokémon as well!

The opening of the Pokémon League is right before us.

We're aiming for the Indigo Plateau in high spirits.

On the way, we meet a Trainer and his Marowak.

What?

You're testing your ability before the League?

Just what I wanted!

I'll show you the true power of the 8 Badges I've gotten!

Next time on Pocket Monsters:

"Marowak's Bone Club"

Everyone, get Pokémon!
