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 fourth round of the Pokémon League Indigo Tournament...

Satoshi was forced into a close match by the Pokémon sent out by his adversary, Kaoruko...

They say soft and fair goes far.

Even Pikachu was defeated by Bellsprout's axe kick.

The one that saved them from that pinch was Muk.

Muk's Body Slam attack brought Satoshi a victory from behind,

and he's advanced into the fifth round.

A Rival Appears!

My stomach is grumbling.

Tomorrow is a day-off.

Let's fill our bellies and rest up.

It's all free for everyone involved in the Tournament!

Let's eat!

Satoshi!

Hello there!

Mama! Professor Ōkido!

I see the fourth round went splendidly.

Well done, Satoshi.

I'm wishing for your success, so I'll make your favorite foods today, Satoshi.

Really?

But how can you make them?

Leave that to me.

Excuse me... This is a little inconvenient...

Don't worry, don't worry.

Satoshi, it'll be done soon.

Ma-Mama...

Borrowing the restaurant's kitchen, huh?

Come on, eat up, eat up.

Thank you for the food!

She really is a mother on active duty.

It's a totally different taste from restaurants, isn't it?

Lavish cooking is great, but nothing beats Mama's home cooking.

Thank you.

Satoshi, if you win the next match,

the Pokémon you use will increase to six.

What combination will you be going with?

I'll just think about that after I win the match.

Tomorrow's when they'll do the drawing to decide everyone's opponents.

Tell me when you need other Pokémon.

I'll transfer them over immediately.

Thank you!

Anyway, battle with your full strength, so you don't leave behind any regrets.

Just like Shigeru would.

Do your best.

We'll come with you.

No need to worry.

Wait for me! I need to get on, too!

Thank you. Sorry about that.

Do not worry about it.

A Pikachu?

Who do you belong to?

That would be me.

It's so cute.

I guess so.

If you touch it too suddenly...

You must be used to handling Pikachu.

Its fur is so glossy. It's been cared for attentively.

You think so?

I guess it does shine—

What happened?

A breakdown?

Press the emergency call button.

Right!

Hello? Is anybody there?

Hello?

Hey!

No good. I'm not getting through.

Seems to be a power outage.

What should we do?

I suppose we'll have to stay here until the electricity is restored.

What? Oh no!

Excuse me, could you please bring your Pikachu over here?

What for?

We'll use Pikachu's Thundershock to transmit electricity.

I think it'll get this thing moving down.

I see. That might just work.

All right. Give it a try, Satoshi.

Pikachu, Thundershock!

It's moving!

We're out!

We're saved!

Thanks to you.

Oh no, it's all thanks to Pikachu.

Thank you.

Uhh...

My name's Hiroshi.

I'm Satoshi. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

Well, see you!

Bye-bye!

What a nice kid.

A very level-headed child.

The total opposite from someone I know.

I wonder if he's a participant here?

Attention please...

Attention please...

All participants...

This is a very, very important announcement from the Tournament officials.

Please gather in front of the drawing venue with all the Pokémon you have on hand immediately.

I wonder what they're starting?

I'm going to take a look.

Please gather in front of the drawing venue and bring along your Monster Balls.

Hurry please.

We'll be collecting superior Pokémon today.

Why are they suddenly gathering the participants?

Hiroshi!

Hey, Mr. Satoshi!

No need for the polite stuff. Satoshi is fine.

You're a participant, too?

Yeah.

Now let's carry out the physical examination right away.

Please come and hand over the Monster Balls you have on hand.

Physical examinations?

They didn't mention that at the Pokémon Center...

If you do not accept this physical examination, you will lose your entry qualifications.

Okay, please place them in here.

Yes, come along now.

Okay, put them in here quickly.

All of them. All!

Come on, in here please.

Come on, you too, Pikachu.

It's dangerous to touch them suddenly.

Oh, it's fine. I'm very familiar with Pikachu.

It's fine...

We're taking them, and we've taken them.

Taken?

That's suspicious. What are you doing?

What are we doing...

If you say that...

We can't hold it in...

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.

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!

You guys again?!

Return the Monster Balls!

Best wishes.

If you've got Pokémon inside, that is.

Go, Weezing!

We're leaving!

Darn! Wait!

Wait!

Someone! Stop that bus!

Wait!

Satoshi!

Hiroshi!

They're already so far...

If we cut across here, we might catch up, but...

Okay! Let's go!

What? That's reckless.

We won't know unless we give it a shot!

Hey, Satoshi!

Let's go!

Stop, Satoshi!

We'll jump down here and catch up in one go!

Watch out, Satoshi!

That was uncalled for!

But you can't just charge on like that!

What?

Come on, let's hurry!

Such a huge haul! Huge!

This is what happens when we make a serious attempt.

Feels like our time has come!

Stop!

Brat-boy!

Wait!

You did it, Kojirō!

He's fainted!

Ko-Ko-Kojirō!

Kojirō, wake up! Kojirō!

Wait!

Who is it?

Weezing

Where did they escape to?

Satoshi, we'll have to camp outside today.

They're probably out of the river and have noticed it's gotten dark, right?

That's true.

I've got sleeping bags and food.

I've gotten into the habit of carrying them around while I'm travelling.

Hiroshi, I'm sorry about earlier.

If I didn't stop when you said so back there, Hiroshi,

I would have charged over the cliff.

...and I would have...

Don't worry.

But you're reckless, too.

You put yourself at risk standing in front of that bus.

You did, too, Satoshi.

I get so heated up when it comes to Pokémon.

Me too.

We've got a lot in common.

Yeah.

Come on, let's eat.

Thank you.

What's the matter?

I'm just wondering if they're hungry right now?

The Pokémon?

Yeah...

I'm sure we'll save them when dawn comes. You have to get your strength for that.

You're right.

It's good!

It is pretty good.

Yeah!

Cheers!

This is the best!

The absolute best!

Thanks to making profits recently, the food is so lavish!

On top of that, we've gotten all the Pokémon, even Pikachu!

Nyothing but perfection!

Tonight, we'll be rewarded for all our hardship so far!

All the way to morning!

Yay!

What are you doing?

Look.

If you join up that star with that star like this...

An Onix?

Yeah!

Then join up those stars like this...

Pikachu!

Yeah!

You really do love Pokémon.

Pokémon are wonderful.

When I see the Pokémon I've raised doing their best,

I think about how I need to do my best, too.

Hey, what's your dream, Satoshi?

My dream is to be the world's greatest Pokémon Master.

World's greatest?

Exactly.

I'm different.

I'm going to be the greatest Pokémon Master in the Universe!

You said it!

Where did they go?

Over there!

Tire tracks!

They left the river here!

Let's take a look, Satoshi.

There they are.

Where are the Pokémon?

In the bus, I reckon.

All right, let's go.

Hey, Pikachu?

Pikachu, I'll get you out right now.

Pikachu!

Where are the Monster Balls?

All in the sack.

Great!

Hold it, you little rats trapped in the sack.

You guys...

We woke up early and everything!

We appreciate the effort!

Wait!

Let us out!

Darn it.

What should we do, Satoshi?

They really thought it would be that simple getting back the Pokémon we worked so hard to get?

We have to escape somehow.

We'll have to stop the bus in any case.

Okay, we'll use the Pokémon.

But I don't know which Pokémon are mine?

All right. Mine are okay.

How could you tell?

I've marked them so I won't mistake them for anyone else's.

I see!

I've only got my intuition to believe in!

Bulbasaur, go!

Nope. Return!

This one?

Maybe this one?

Completely wrong.

Return!

Are you saying it's these ones?

All right, this time for sure!

Break down that wall with Tackle!

No good? All right...

Razor Leaf!

No go?

All right, I'll give it a try.

Zippo, time for you to shine!

Zippo?

A Charmander!

Zippo, Slash attack!

Wh-What?

Stop the vehicle, Rocket Gang!

You pest!

Let's go, Kojirō!

I'm sort of driving right now.

Go, Arbok!

Pikachu, Thunderbolt!

How about this?

Are you okay, Pikachu?

Nice, Kojirō!

That's rough driving for you.

Leon, it's your time to shine!

A Pikachu?

Two Pikachu?

This is a happy day!

Arbok, get those two Pikachu together!

Leon, confuse them with Agility!

Pikachu, you use Agility, too!

Too many Pikachu!

All right!

Let's double attack, Satoshi!

Yeah!

Leon!

Pikachu!

Thunderbolt!

This feels bad!

We did it!

Satoshi, look ahead! Ahead!

Oh no!

Pidgeotto!

Papi!

A Butterfree, as well?

Satoshi, it's make or break time!

All right!

This isn't going well!

Satoshi, use Whirlwind!

What?

Use Whirlwind towards the ground.

I get you.

All right, Pidgeotto!

Papi!

Use Whirlwind!

Are you okay, everyone?

We're okay over here, too.

I was saved by you again, Hiroshi.

Oh no, it's thanks to you, Satoshi.

I couldn't use Pokémon like that.

Not at all...

Satoshi!

Is everyone safe?

Yeah, of course!

We've gotten back everyone's Monster Balls!

Next up, Satoshi from Pallet Town. Go ahead.

Okay!

All right.

A-3.

Satoshi, your next battle opponent is...

What?

Satoshi's next opponent is none other than Hiroshi.

How will Satoshi battle in the Pokémon League's fifth round?

...and what will be the match's outcome?

To be continued next time!

Why do we...

...always, always...

...end up like this...?

Keep your spirits up...

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 looking at the venue in detail...

There are restaurants for participants and Pokémon to satisfy their appetites.

Many dishes are on offer, and it's free for participants and those involved with the Tournament.

There's a lot of entertainment around, and souvenir stalls selling all kinds of rare goods.

The most popular items are pin badges, but be careful of fakes!

There're lots of other ways to have fun, like the movie theater, too.

Here's the cottage the participants stay the night in.

Looks pretty comfortable!

As you can see, the Tournament is like a lively festival.

Now, for the poem.

On limited time...

It's merchandise of all kinds...

Souvenir seller.

Everyone, you must get Pokémon as well!

My next opponent is Hiroshi.

He may be my friend, but a match is a match.

I'm going to battle fair and square with all my heart.

But I get totally caught in a Rocket Gang trap.

There's only a few minutes until the match starts!

Wait for me, Hiroshi!

I'm sure I'll make it to the match!

Next time on Pocket Monsters:

"Indigo Stadium! VS Hiroshi!"

Everyone, get Pokémon!

Indigo Stadium! VS Hiroshi!
