(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!

Next up, Satoshi from Pallet Town. Go ahead.

Okay!

All right.

A-3.

Satoshi, your next battle opponent is...

What?

He met Hiroshi at the Pokémon League and became his friend.

But by some mischief of Fate...

Satoshi's fifth opponent is Hiroshi.

These two have changed from friends to rivals.

What will be the match's outcome in the end...?

Indigo Stadium! VS Hiroshi!

My next battle opponent is Hiroshi, huh?

That's sort of awkward...

Satoshi, look at this.

What is it?

I'm accessing the main computer at the Tournament head office.

I've tried to extract data on Hiroshi's matches.

Hiroshi's data?

Straight wins all through to his fourth battle.

That's pretty impressive.

I won't be the one to lose to him.

You just barely made it to the next round though.

The Pokémon Hiroshi has used are...

Butterfree, Charmander and Pikachu only.

Electric-type, Fire-type and Flying-type...

Similar to the Pokémon you use, Satoshi.

Pokémon with the same strengths, it seems?

Which means...

What are you trying to say?

You might want to prepare to go home.

I said I'm not losing, didn't I?

But your opponent is Hiroshi. Isn't that awkward for you?

We may be friends, but a match is a match.

I have to battle fair and square at full power.

Excuse me!

I've come to pick up the Pokémon I left in your care.

Here you are, Hiroshi.

We've restored them all to perfect condition.

Thank you very much.

Good luck!

Thank you.

Satoshi!

Hiroshi, have you finished all your preparations?

Against you, Satoshi...

No, because it's you, I want to clash with all the power I have.

Exactly what I wanted to hear.

Well, see you in the stadium!

Yeah!

Satoshi?

Here are all your Pokémon, as perfect as ever.

Thank you.

But you must be happy.

You've recognised each other and are both taking the match earnestly.

I'm envious!

Yeah!

Do your best so neither of you leaves behind any regrets.

Thank you.

Very good, very good.

They're having friendship drama!

I hate it.

That's why I have no friends.

No wonder with the personality you've got.

Yes, yes, with my personality...

What?

But we can use that pair's little friendship...

Hello?

Oh, Hiroshi?

Is Satoshi there?

He's here, but what's the matter? It's before the match.

You're that conceited and rude girl, Kasumi, right?

I have no business with you. Hurry up and hand the line over to Satoshi.

What was that? I'll hand the line over right now!

Satoshi, you have a call from Hiroshi.

For me?

I don't get what you see in that guy.

Hello?

Satoshi? It's me, Hiroshi.

There's something I forgot to tell you.

Can we meet and have another talk?

Sure thing.

About Pikachu, too?

Okay. I'll come now.

I'm going out with Pikachu.

The match is really soon.

The upcoming fifth round is a Main Stadium battle.

I won't be late for that.

My acting ability is the best.

I really am an actress!

I'm scared by my own talent!

Hey, Hiroshi. Where are you?

Over here!

I'm here. Here.

What are you doing over there?

What's that important thing you had to tell me about Pikachu?

Well, you see...

What?

It worked!

Whatever it is you ask us about...

it is the world's pity to answer you!

You guys!

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?

Let me out of here.

Our Phone Call of Friendship to Get Pikachu Plan is a huge success.

To get so totally caught up in such a simple trick...

You really are a brat-kid.

But we've lost to this guy every single time...

Don't talk about that.

I've got an important match.

Hurry and let me out.

That's a shame.

Your Pokémon League...

...ends here!

Where's Satoshi and Pikachu?

Not back yet. Where could they be?

I couldn't find them in the Competitor's Village.

Maybe they already went to the stadium?

That could be possible.

There's thirty minutes left before the match starts.

What? What's all this water?

Good work, Squirtle!

Use Water Gun even more!

Save me! I'm drowning!

Hey, don't cling like that!

I can't see ahead!

Save us...

All right. Let's go, Pikachu!

Listen to that excited cheering!

Competitor Hiroshi has arrived!

Wait!

The match isn't on yet!

The words "give up" don't exist in the Rocket Gang dictionary!

Oww-nly one option left!

If you want to pass, you'll have to battle us!

Come on!

A match! A match!

You guys are so stubborn!

Bulbasaur, Vine Whip!

Stop with this futile resistance!

Yeah! Yeah!

Return, Bulbasaur!

Think about the situation you're in, okay?

Hey!

You won't get away, brat-boy!

We're taking Pikachu!

Go, Weezing!

Smokescreen!

Hey, cut that out!

If you tell us to cut it out, we're not going to.

This is our job!

Me and Hiroshi...

Against you Satoshi...

No, because it's you, I want to clash with all the power I have.

Exactly what I wanted to hear.

I made a promise with Hiroshi.

If this goes on...

Come on! Now, now, now!

No more running away for you.

Prepare yourself.

What do you think you're doing?

That belongs to us!

Later, I'm borrowing this for a bit!

We'll chase you no matter how far you go!

Who is it?

Pikachu [Leon]

We've got big trouble!

This fifth round game...

The moment for the match between competitors Hiroshi and Satoshi to begin is nearly here, but

Competitor Satoshi is nowhere to be seen!

If we pass the match start time,

Competitor Hiroshi will win by default.

Satoshi...

Oh, that child of mine...

Why is he always late at such crucial moments?

Maybe he has some sort of strategy where he's late on purpose...

Oh, has he shown up?

No, that's not competitor Satoshi!

What did you say to Satoshi?

What?

Don't play innocent with me!

Ouch!

Oh my! Competitor Satoshi's coach has grabbed the competitor Hiroshi!

An off-stadium brawl?!

Wh-What's wrong?

You said something to Satoshi, didn't you?

You asked him to lose or something?

I didn't do anything!

Don't give me that.

You phoned up calling me that conceited and rude girl, didn't you?

Wait a moment!

Phoned up? What are you talking about?

You called Satoshi over the phone.

I never phoned or anything.

I'm telling the truth.

You really have no idea?

Yes. I swear it wasn't me.

Then... That phone call...

What?

You guys really are stubborn!

We'll have the last laugh!

All right, in that case...

Go, Pidgeotto!

Pikachu!

This feels bad!

You did great, Pidgeotto.

Can you carry me to the stadium like this?

The match start time has finally passed.

The referee is now approaching competitor Hiroshi.

He'll try to tell him he's won by default.

Hiroshi, your battle opponent is absent.

You win this match by default.

Please wait!

A little longer... Just a little longer! Please wait for Satoshi!

I'm begging!

What? This is a surprise!

Competitor Hiroshi is requesting to wait for competitor Satoshi!

What?

Satoshi and I made a promise.

We'll have this match will all our power.

That's how I know Satoshi will be here no matter what!

So... Please!

Very well. But ten minutes only.

Thank you so much!

That Hiroshi's a good guy.

What is Satoshi doing, though?

Satoshi seems to have some good friends.

He really does.

You can do it, Pidgeotto!

I can see the Stadium. Just a little more!

Hiroshi, the time I agreed to has passed.

This is your win.

Wait for me!

Sorry for being late!

Satoshi!

Looks like I barely made it in time.

Pidgeotto!

Thank you, Pidgeotto. I'll let you rest easy.

Now, let's begin the match!

Yeah!

Competitor Satoshi has made a showy appearance from the sky!

The audience is going wild!

Things are suddenly heating up!

Satoshi!

Apologize to everyone for being late!

Come on now. I know you're his mother.

This is the fourth match of the Pokémon League's fifth round!

Competitor Hiroshi and competitor Satoshi are about to begin the match!

I don't know what happened, but I'm glad you made it.

Let's battle without holding back!

Yeah, exactly what I wanted to hear!

Papi, it's your time to shine!

Squirtle, I choose you!

Competitor Satoshi leads with Squirtle!

Competitor Hiroshi leads with Butterfree!

They're both clashing fiercely and not one step towards surrender for either!

Papi, Sleeping Powder!

Oh no, Squirtle!

It's sleeping, thanks to Butterfree's Sleeping Powder!

Wake up, Squirtle! Open your eyes!

Squirtle!

Squirtle is unable to battle.

Butterfree wins!

Competitor Hiroshi's Butterfree got the better of this intense battle!

Now, what will competitor Satoshi bring out next?

Pikachu!

It's decided!

A sudden Double-Edge from Pikachu!

That Pikachu...

Even though it must be tired, it's still going for it.

Here it is!

An intense Thunderbolt from Pikachu!

Papi!

Butterfree is unable to battle.

Pikachu wins!

Yes!

Competitor Satoshi's Pikachu's Thunderbolt has blown this thing apart!

Competitor Hiroshi has two Pokémon left!

Satoshi's Pikachu's here as expected...

But I know Pikachu well!

Zippo, I'm counting on you!

Avoid it, Pikachu!

Pikachu is being attacked by Charmander's Flamethrower!

Pikachu, how long can you avoid it?

Pikachu!

Oh no! Pikachu's at their limit!

Here it is! Charmander's Tackle!

Pikachu!

Pi-Pikachu...

Pikachu is unable to battle.

Charmander wins!

For Fire-type Charmander...

Grass-type Bulbasaur is at a disadvantage.

That leaves...

It's all or nothing, I'm betting on Charizard!

Charizard, I choose you!

Charizard?!

Why?

I'm counting on you to battle for me, Charizard!

Don't give in, Zippo!

Victory goes to who makes the first move!

Look here! There's a huge level difference!

Charmander can't do a thing!

Zippo, return!

Yes! Well done, Charizard!

You're listening to what I'm saying at last!

You think I'll lose here?

I won't give in until the very end!

Leon, it's your time to shine!

What's this? Competitor Hiroshi has brought Pikachu out against Charizard!

Is this impulsive?

Leon...

Be vigilant, Charizard!

There must be something more to Hiroshi opposing you with Pikachu!

Hang in there, Leon!

You can do it!

Oh, what's this?

Competitor Satoshi's Charizard has gone to sleep.

Hey, Charizard! What are you doing?

We're in the middle of a match right now.

Fight!

You have to fight, Charizard!

I'm begging, Charizard. Please listen to me!

Hey, what are you doing?!

We're here to watch a Pokémon battle, you know!

Take this seriously!

It really was no good in the end...

What in the world is happening?

It was motivated to fight against a fellow Fire-type like Charmander,

yet it can't rouse the will to battle a little Pikachu, it seems.

Charizard has lost the will to battle!

Pikachu wins!

...which means competitor Hiroshi wins this match!

Return, Charizard!

Satoshi...

I lose!

Satoshi...

Congratulations, Hiroshi.

Thank you, Satoshi.

Do your best in your next match for me.

Yeah, of course!

That Satoshi... He's putting up a brave front...

That's how a man deals with things.

It's okay to cry when you want to cry.

That's not something he can do.

Satoshi's done well.

He's still not quite a Pokémon Master, but he's getting there.

The Pokémon League is over for Satoshi.

You may have regrets, but you can turn them into strength for tomorrow.

Surely, that bitterness

will make you even stronger.

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

This time we're talking about battles at the Pokémon League.

For example, when the Fields have special characteristics.

Bringing a Grass-type Pokémon to the Grass Field doesn't necessarily mean it'll be the most compatible.

There are times when Types strong against Grass like Bug, Fire, and Flying have the advantage instead.

Battles from the fifth round onwards take place in the Main Stadium.

There are no special characteristics there.

Here, Trainers are free to select any Type.

In other words, Trainers choose Pokémon they're confident they've raised well.

This is how it turns into a question of the Trainer and Pokémon's compatibility.

Matches come down to how you can show your teamwork, you see?

Now, for the poem.

As a Trainer,

Contemplate a strategy,

The day then will end.

Everyone, you must get Pokémon as well!

The Pokémon League Indigo Tournament.

It's the finale at last for the battles of Trainers aiming to win the championship.

I'm counting on you, Hiroshi.

Do your best for me.

But that stubborn Rocket Gang strikes!

I won't let you interfere with the Tournament.

I'll drive them away!

Next time on Pocket Monsters:

"The Pokémon League! The Final Battle!"

Everyone, get Pokémon!

The Pokémon League! The Final Battle!
