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!

The Pokémon League Indigo Tournament has begun at last.

Satoshi went with Krabby for his first match.

When they defeated the Exeggutor his opponent released...

...Krabby evolved into Kingler.

Satoshi won the first round splendidly with just his Kingler.

The Ice Field! A Battle of Flames!

The second round's battle is being carried out here in the Rock Field.

Each participant has only one Pokémon left each, and the match is heading into its final moments!

Now, which final Pokémon will decide the match?

There!

Oh my, it's a Nidorino!

Nidorino specializes in tactics with power.

What kind of Pokémon will competitor Satoshi of Pallet Town oppose with?

Squirtle, I choose you!

Competitor Satoshi will use Squirtle.

Is his strategy for its hard shell to stand up to Nidorino's horn?

I'm counting on you, Squirtle.

I'm sure with you, we can win.

Satoshi! It's coming!

I know.

Nidorino's coming with a sudden Tackle!

Squirtle, Withdraw!

Pull it in... Pull it in...

Now, Squirtle! Water Gun!

The clincher! Skull Bash!

Squirtle's Skull Bash has made a direct hit!

It's exceptionally effective!

Nidorino is unable to battle!

Therefore, the winner of this match is competitor Satoshi!

Hooray!

He did it!

What a fantastic battle for competitor Satoshi!

He's passed the second round!

That Satoshi...

Seems he's good enough to pass through the second round.

Thank you! Thank you!

He should smile while he still can.

It won't be easy to keep winning in the Pokémon League with pure luck.

The winner will be me in the end.

You can do it! You can do it! Shigeru!

There are light and shadows in this world.

Bathed in the spotlight...

Once I had the dream as a young girl to stand on a stage of hinoki cypress...

This isn't the time for nyat sort of complaining.

With this plan we thought up taking naps without sleeping at night...

We'll get the Pokémon in one go!

Huh? Where's Satoshi?

He said he was hungry and rushed out.

What? Shouldn't he get to the Pokémon Center and recover before everyone else?

Seems not to be much leeway.

They'll all be tired from the matches. It's just the way it is.

Are you hungry, too, Togepi?

I'm going to collapse with an empty stomach.

Pikachu, are you hungry, too?

It's nice to have Kasumi and Takeshi's support...

Battling makes you hungry...

When we get to the restaurant, I'm going to eat until I'm stuffed.

Huh?

Which way's the restaurant?

It's so spacious, I just don't know.

[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!]

Lots of events going on during the tournament.

Hey, Satoshi!

Where did you go?

[Before you know it,]

We've been looking for you.

[Type: Wild!]

Kasumi, Takeshi? What's going on?

[Little by little,]

[Type: Wild!]

We're the ones who should be saying that. What do you think you're doing?

[More and more,]

[Type: Wild!]

You've neglected the Pokémon!

[I will become strong,]

But I was really hungry.

[Type: Wild!]

Eat after you leave them at the Pokémon Center!

I guess you're right...

Here are your Monster Balls, Satoshi.

Thank you, Takeshi.

I'll go to the Pokémon Center right away.

Which Pokémon are you going to use for the third round?

I drew the Ice Field next, so,

I've been thinking if my opponent has Ice-type Pokémon...

If they do, I'd have to do Squirtle and Kingler.

What's this?

Looks like it's super packed.

You dawdled too long, Satoshi.

My apologies, everyone. Due to an accident, this Pokémon Center is now congested.

I apologize to all of you in a hurry.

Please visit another Pokémon Center.

That's the Nurse Jōi of Pewter City!

How do you know that? They all have the same face.

I can tell them apart from the subtle amour.

I see. Very good.

There's supposed to be a Pokémon Center around here.

Something smells good!

A restaurant!

I can finally have something to eat!

Hang on, Satoshi!

Pikachu and I still haven't eaten yet.

This place is so big. What if I collapse from hunger on the way to the Pokémon Center?

Oh dear...

This looks tasty!

I don't have any money.

Welcome!

Me? About money...

Here, you go.

I can eat?

Yes.

Really?

I must be famous after winning the second round!

Thank you! Please keep supporting me through the third round.

Now, let's eat!

This one... and this... and this...

Yum!

I guess there's no point in being hungry before a match.

Relax!

Look at how popular I am.

I can eat all this for free. I'm sure she's a fan.

What are you talking about? It's free for everyone involved with the Tournament.

What? Really?

Don't mess about just because you won the second round.

What's with you? That's no fun.

What are you doing, Pikachu? You'll make the staff mad.

Be careful! You shouldn't wander about as you please, Togepi.

Where did Takeshi go anyway?

Who is it?

Nidorino

I'm sure he said he'd be waiting here...

Takeshi?

What's going on with everyone?

Seems very hectic.

What a wonderful place!

A Nurse Jōi here, an Officer Junsā there. They're everywhere!

You're the Nurse Jōi of Cerulean City!

You're the Nurse Jōi of Celadon City.

Are you doing well, Nurse Jōi?

Hang on, Takeshi!

I'm not the only one in a festive mood it seems...

Goodness gracious...

There's a huge line at this Pokémon Center.

Can't be helped. It's because you were dawdling, Satoshi.

You'll just have to wait in line.

No way...

What's that?

What's where?

Good evening, you two. There is a Pokémon Center that is not crowded.

What? Really?

Of course! There's the perfect Nurse Jōi there, too.

What? Nurse Jōi?

Takeshi, where did you pop up from?

I appear wherever Nurse Jōi is!

Cut it out.

It's real.

But it looks cheaply built.

Now that you mention it, it really does.

This is just a temporary Pokémon Center to be used during the tournament.

Now, come on in.

Okay!

It's a bit cramped in here.

Is this really okay?

Of course. Nurse Jōi's here.

I reckon it must be a proper Pokémon Center.

You're right.

Now, we'll take Pikachu into our care.

Take good care of them.

...and these ones, too.

That's strange...

What is it, Takeshi?

Seeing Nurse Jōi usually makes my blood pressure rise,

My heart pound, and my face blush...

Actually, you are unusually composed.

Is it because I saw so many Nurse Jōi earlier?

What's going on?

It's strange... I can't put my finger on it...

What could it be?

So what is it?

What's the matter?

Whatever you ask us about being the matter...

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!

The Rocket Gang duo soars through the galaxy!

A white hole, a white tomorrow awaits us!

Nya-t's about right!

I see now. It was Musashi disguised as Nurse Jōi.

That's why my heart wasn't pounding.

That's amazing, Takeshi.

This isn't the time to be impressed. We have to get Pikachu back!

Yes, ma'am!

We won't let you!

It's the balloon!

Not seeing through the special effects make up we stocked up on in Hollywood was a fatal mistake.

It was pretty expensive, you know.

We didn't have the budget, so we remade the old balloon.

Pikachu!

We finally got Pikachu!

We're sure to get that promotion with this!

Our long years of suffering will finally be rewarded!

Are we going to allow that?

All right. Great work, Onix!

That's it. Nice and easy.

Pikachu...

That's enough now, Onix!

Could this development be...

It's that same strong scent as always...

This feels bad!

Thank goodness, Pikachu.

Thank you. I owe you one, Takeshi.

Just do your best in your third round battle.

The Pokémon Center now has space available.

Please make use of it.

I will repeat that.

The Pokémon Center now has space available.

All right. Let's hurry to the Pokémon Center.

Now, for the third round!

Battling in the Ice Field, it's competitor Satoshi and competitor Seiji!

They've both put forth their second Pokémon!

The heat's getting white hot!

Kingler, Crabhammer!

Cloyster, Withdraw!

Oh my, Kingler's Crabhammer...

It's being blocked by Cloyster's hard shell. It's just not working!

Darn it. If I don't switch, it'll get exhausted from attacking.

Wait! Cloyster should still be taking damage!

Yes, let them continue attacking, Satoshi!

Got it!

Okay. Hang in there, Kingler!

Darn it!

Cloyster is unable to battle. Kingler wins!

Return, Cloyster!

Cloyster's down thanks to Kingler's repeat Crabhammer attack.

Competitor Seiji's naturally down to his third Pokémon...

We suspect it'll be an Ice-type or a Water-type Pokémon!

Go, Arcanine!

Oh? It's the Fire-type Pokémon, Arcanine!

What could his strategy be?

All right. Water-type Kingler will be strong against Fire!

Kingler, Bubble!

Arcanine isn't just about flames.

Go, Dragon Rage!

Are you okay, Kingler? Hang in there!

Dragon Rage. That's an unexpected attack.

If it's taken considerable damage, shouldn't you switch it out?

You're right. Return, Kingler!

I'm leaving it to you, Pikachu.

Go, Pikachu!

Throw Arcanine into disarray with Agility!

Goodness! Look at Pikachu's speed despite the Ice Field!

Arcanine, Fire Blast!

You can't hit us with an attack like that!

We're on the Ice Field...

You don't see the significance of a Fire-type Pokémon?

It's not aiming for Pikachu!

It's melting the Ice Field itself

to stop it from moving!

What does this mean?

The Ice Field has melted and is now an ice berg!

Darn it!

Pikachu can't move!

They've sealed away its Agility.

Arcanine, finish this off with a Fire Blast!

Satoshi! Risk yourself, so that you may float up!

What does that mean?

Have Pikachu jump into the water!

Pikachu, jump in!

Satoshi, there's water all around!

Have you forgotten?

Electricity can flow well through water and ice!

I know! I'm trying that right now!

Enough excuses! Hurry!

Go, Pikachu! Thunderbolt!

Arcanine...

Arcanine is unable to battle.

That means the winner of this match is competitor Satoshi!

I did it! I got round three!

Hooray!

Thanks to Pikachu's hard work,

Satoshi's won his third round.

He's got to focus his energy and plunge into his fourth round battle.

The Pokémon League continues still.

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

Professor Ōkido's Pokémon Lecture Pokémon League Special Edition

Now today, I'll be explaining

how the League battles work.

The Pokémon League is the type of tournament where you win each round to progress to the next.

From the first battle to the fourth battle...

Water, Grass, Ice, and Rock...

These are the special fields they fight in.

Only three Pokémon can be used...

A lot of time should be used picking which they will be.

The fifth round onward takes place in the Indigo Stadium, where the opening ceremony was held.

This time, there are 256 Trainers.

Which one among them will be the sole victor after the long battle?

Who will it be in the end?

I'm looking forward to finding out!

Now, for the poem...

On the field...

Selecting your Pokémon...

It's quite a bit of trouble.

Everyone, you must get Pokémon as well!

I'm winning and advancing through the Pokémon League Indigo Tournament.

The next opponent standing in my way is Kaoruko.

As we expected, a formidable Pokémon appears in the middle of the match.

But I can't afford to lose here.

Go, Pikachu!

It's your turn!

Next time on Pocket Monsters:

"The Grass Field! An Unexpected Opponent!"

Everyone, get Pokémon!

The Grass Field! An Unexpected Opponent!
