(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 reached the fourth round at last.

Go for it! Go for it! Shigeru!

Satoshi and his friends have come to Shigeru's battle to observe his rival's movements.

Competitor Shigeru and competitor Yoshiki are now down to their last Pokémon!

The finale's here at last!

Which one will win out?

It's been a long battle.

Nidoking, Horn Attack!

Golem, Seismic Toss!

Competitor Yoshiki wins!

He's done it! He's done it! Competitor Yoshiki has won!

He's knocked out his opponent after taking control of this lengthy fourth round match!

Master Shigeru lost!

Shigeru lost.

...and he was so confident and cocky, too.

The Grass Field! An Unexpected Opponent!

Shigeru!

Shigeru...

I guess the Goddess of Victory just wasn't smiling over me this time.

Your tears are my medal.

Master Shigeru!

See you, then.

Can you believe it, Pikachu? Shigeru lost.

I feel beaten. I wonder if we can really win?

Takeshi?

Satoshi, you've worked so hard to make it this far.

So be confident in yourself.

That goes for you too, Pikachu.

He's right, Pikachu.

Satoshi!

What are you doing? It's your turn for the fourth round!

Oh no!

Thank you very much.

They're selling well!

You could say business is thriving.

But don't you forget, we are evil...

We're part of an evil secret society.

We know.

This is just the nyext step in our plan!

But I have the time to water Victreebel when we work like this.

Really feels like it's livening up.

What are you doing?

Once you start longing for an ordinary life,

it's the beginning of the end for evil.

Oh no. Are the commemorative tournament pin badges already sold out?

Our apologies. That's all there is.

They're in the cardboard box at the moment!

Could it be...

The pin badges from earlier were made from bottle caps?

Hurry and help me out.

Who's got a head for business now?

All right, it's the time for the fourth round here on the Grass Field.

On the Green Side, we have competitor Satoshi all the way from Pallet Town.

There's Satoshi at long last.

Do you really think he'll be okay without our coaching this time?

He wants to try with his own strength.

Since it's the Grass Field,

I guess Satoshi will bring out Bulbasaur as his Pokémon?

I think so.

But who's his opponent?

From the name, it sounds like a girl, but what kind of opponent will she be?

...and the Trainer on the Red Side...

The opponent is competitor Kaoruko from Jochan Town.

Pleased to meet you.

An exceptional beauty!

Victory! Victory! Victory for Mistress Kaoruko!

She's got a big cheering squad while he's just got us two.

B-Beautiful Kaoruko...

What are you doing all spaced out?!

The time has arrived at last!

Begin the match!

Go, Bulbasaur!

Surely, if you compete against a flower, you will lose and fall in the mud.

Go, Beedrill!

Bulbasaur VS Beedrill.

A good match.

Beedrill, Tackle!

Bulbasaur, Razor Leaf!

Beedrill, pay them a visit with your Twineedle!

Follow up with your Poison Sting attack.

Such a violent attack for such a cute face.

I want to be Miss Kaoruko's special helper.

Who are you supposed to be cheering for?!

It's come to this then...

Leech Seed!

Beedrill!

All right. Leech Seed absorbs energy.

Oh, Beedrill!

Who are you supposed to be cheering for?!

Bulbasaur, Tackle!

Beedrill is unable to battle.

All right!

Hooray, Satoshi won!

Next one! Next one!

Don't they know who won?

I wonder what Pokémon will come out next?

Whatever it is, he better stay on his toes.

This shall be the next one!

Go, Scyther!

Scyther, huh?

She brought out another ghastly one.

Here we go...

All right, begin!

Scyther, Slash!

Scyther, Swift!

Vine Whip!

Scyther, playtime ends here!

Show off your bold moves!

It's the debut of Scyther's Double Team.

Who is it?

Beedrill

Fight, fight, Mistress Kaoruko, fight!

Bulbasaur, Vine Whip!

Bulbasaur, to the right!

Now then, let's pay them a grand visit and play.

They're in trouble! Competitor Satoshi's Bulbasaur is in real trouble now!

That's the formidable fourth round for you.

What can he do?

Bulbasaur, Razor Leaf!

Bulbasaur, dodge it!

Bulbasaur!

I know. Use Vine Whip on all three!

Scyther is unable to battle!

Well done, Bulbasaur!

The opponent's defence was rather low compared to their attack.

Satoshi did it.

He's really growing.

Looks like he's going to win the match.

He's made it this far with only Bulbasaur.

Maybe so.

I'm taking this match!

Pikachu!

We'll take all the competitors' Pokémon while they're distracted by our papier-mâché​ Pikachu.

Mr. Sucky is ready to go.

It'll be a success, naturally.

That's the Rocket Gang balloon!

We'll shoot it down at once.

Growlithe, Flamethrower!

Pikachu!

Hurry up with Mr. Sucky!

It's not working...

Why is this suspicious object here?

This is bad!

Rocket Gang!

Run away!

Stop right there!

How about some juice or a hot dog or a boxed lunch?

We also have warm coffee!

Competitor Kaoruko's cornered now.

What will her last Pokémon be?

The last must be her strongest, right?

Maybe it'll be a Rhydon or a Nidoqueen?

Whatever it is, it's bound to be a high-level Pokémon.

All right. Come at me with whatever you've got.

Now go!

What?

Their last Pokémon is a Bellsprout?

What's this? Just two strong Pokémon and a third to make up the numbers?

What's this? Competitor Kaoruko's ace is Bellsprout!

Bellsprout, let's get going.

Get them, Bulbasaur!

Begin!

Sorry to defeat you in such a showy way...

Bulbasaur, Tackle!

It's settled!

What's going on?

Bellsprout! Bellsprout! Bellsprout! Go! Go!

Bulbasaur!

What is happening?

This is a strong... an extremely strong Bellsprout!

They say soft and fair goes far, and this proves it!

I see. She's using her opponent's strength to hurl them away.

How are you doing now?

Bulbasaur is unable to battle!

Bulbasaur!

Competitor Kaoruko's Bellsprout has had one knockout!

Well done! Well done! Bellsprout!

It's come to this. Pikachu, I'm counting on you!

All right! If Pikachu's in, he'll be fine!

All right, begin!

Pikachu, Thundershock!

Too easy!

Oh my! Look how powerful that Bellsprout's Razor Leaf is!

Pikachu, Thunderbolt!

Yes! It's settled!

Bellsprout's legs act as an earthing system.

All the electricity ends up in the ground.

W-What?

No way... Pikachu's Thunderbolt won't work?

That's one terrifying Bellsprout.

You can do it, Pikachu!

Here's an axe kick from Bellsprout!

Pikachu is unable to battle.

Pikachu!

Competitor Kaoruko's Bellsprout is a strong one! They've beaten Pikachu with a KO!

I can't believe it. Even Pikachu lost.

...and yet Bellsprout's still...

You must never judge by appearances. Pokémon are profound creatures.

I wonder what Pokémon Satoshi intends to pull out for his third?

We've finally made it.

Professor Ōkido and Satoshi's mother!

We've come to cheer Satoshi on.

Professor Ōkido... Shigeru, well...

Oh, I know. I'm heartbroken, of course.

But it's good for him to go through it.

Don't lose, Satoshi!

That's right! You're the only one from Pallet Town left!

Are you sure you're here to cheer him on?

Don't you see you're really just putting pressure on?

Very good. Keep it up!

We've reached the finale for the match at last!

Competitor Satoshi is on his final Pokémon.

All right, go!

What the?

What? Satoshi's brought his Muk?

Yes. Satoshi contacted me yesterday about it.

I transferred Muk to him.

That one will be strong against a Grass Pokémon.

You're right!

I always thought of Satoshi as a dummy, but...

That's a pretty good strategy, isn't it?

He can do it when it's time for it.

That's my son!

I'm counting on you, Muk!

Begin!

Bellsprout, give them a preemptive strike.

Oh dear... Bellsprout's intense kick...

The shock has just been absorbed by Muk.

Muk's utterly composed. It's as if there was no effect!

Nice, Muk! That's the way!

Now, Muk, your Body Slam attack.

Bellsprout!

Bellsprout is unable to battle.

That means competitor Satoshi is the victor of this battle!

Hooray!

That's my son!

That's amazing. Satoshi's won four rounds!

It was a pretty close match.

You did it, Muk!

Hey, you don't have to hug me, you know?

That Muk sure is a friendly one.

Come on, let's take you home and give you a shower, Bellsprout.

Our sales were good.

But we're not forming our schemes when we're doing this.

Maybe we should have been doing business all along?

You might be onto something.

Idiots! We're part of a secret evil organization until the very end!

Come to think of it, we didn't get to do our introduction speech this time.

In that case...

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.

We have love and truth...

Would you like a sample?

You really pulled it off, Satoshi.

Guess so.

But it was all thanks to Muk that you won.

Hey, don't stick to me. Leave me be!

Satoshi has now won through four rounds.

He's advanced into the fifth round.

At last, the battle location from here on out

will be changed to the main venue, Indigo Stadium.

What sort of opponents await there? It could be anyone.

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 Pokémon League Special Edition

This time we're going over what's inside the venue.

It's huge inside the venue.

After all, a town has been built for competitors and staff to spend several days in.

There are restaurants, all kinds of other facilities, and of course several Pokémon Centers.

Forgotten that Pokémon you wanted to use in your next match?

No need to worry.

There are handy Monster Ball transfer machines in the Pokémon Centers you can use.

Since it's a region-wide tournament.

there are Nurse Jōi and Officer Junsā from all over the place.

Do you have a good idea about the venue's interiors?

Now, for the poem.

I would like to see them...

Junsā and Jōi...

Their children.

Everyone, you must get Pokémon as well!

I've won this round, and I'm now advancing in the tournament.

There's Hiroshi, a Trainer just like me in the same position.

We became instant friends, but

that's when the Rocket Gang comes into the picture to steal Pokémon.

Hiroshi and I are going to work together and give them a chase.

Think they'll get away?

You know I will always get the Pokémon back.

Next time on Pocket Monsters:

"A Rival Appears!"

Everyone, get Pokémon!

A Rival Appears!
