(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!

Satoshi was winning his way through the Pokémon League Indigo Tournament.

However, his fifth round opponent was his close friend, Hiroshi.

Papi, it's your time to shine!

Squirtle, I choose you!

The match was roughly even.

At the climax of the battle,

Satoshi sent out Charizard as his final Pokémon.

Hey, Charizard! What are you doing?

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

Fight!

You have to fight, Charizard!

Charizard has lost the will to battle!

Pikachu wins!

...which means competitor Hiroshi wins this match!

Return, Charizard!

The Pokémon League! The Final Battle!

Losing like that...

He's been in this state since he lost the match last night?

Yeah, he's not eating anything either.

I wonder if he has a stomach ache?

No, he's in a slump.

In a slump?

My son?

He's frustrated with losing the match.

Even though advancing to the fifth round is a success in itself.

Good grief. What is he thinking?

All right...

Hey, Satoshi. Did you want to go and get something to eat?

I don't want to go.

How about a stroll?

Go by yourself.

Lying motionless in a place like this, it's not like you, Satoshi.

Let's go out somewhere.

Shut up!

What's with you? You're worrying me.

It's none of your business!

What did you say?

So what?

Stop it, you two.

What are you saying? Kasumi is trying to take your feelings into consideration.

Still...!

First thing, you're not even satisfied with making it this far?

Shut up!

That wasn't my true strength!

That's your conceit talking, Satoshi!

What was that?

What about it?

Come on, stop it.

It's just as Kasumi says.

If Satoshi was able to handle Charizard,

that wouldn't have been the outcome.

But...

There's a limit to battle methods that rely on power and intuition.

From now on, you have to make use of each Pokémon's ability.

You should study some battle methods.

It must be difficult with such a low level trainer.

Was that about me?

Oh. I didn't say a word about you, Satoshi.

You said something.

I didn't say a single word!

You did so!

I didn't!

You did so!

I told you, I didn't!

You did so!

I didn't!

You did so!

Why me as well?

The next opponent is... Competitor Hiroshi.

Hiroshi!

This will be one of the best matches of the sixth rounds!

The showdown is about to begin!

Do your best, Papi.

Are you tired, Zippo?

Leon, I'm counting on you.

Thank goodness, I made it in time.

Satoshi! Why are you here?

I decided to come cheer you on.

I see, thank you!

You'll be using six Pokémon from this match on...

Don't lose focus.

Right!

Do your best for Satoshi's sake, too.

Hey, hey. That's my line.

I believe in you. I'm sure you'll take the championship, Hiroshi.

I'll give it everything I've got!

I'm counting on you!

This is a tough match! They're on par with each other!

The conclusion rests on each one's final Pokémon!

Don't lose, Hiroshi!

You can do it!

What will competitor Hiroshi put up against competitor Sayuri's Ivysaur?

I'm leaving this to you, Leon!

It's your time to shine!

Leon, stand up!

Now! Thundershock!

Thundershock didn't go through!

Here it is!

Ivysaur's Solar Beam!

Leon!

You can do it, Leon!

Leon!

Pikachu is unable to battle.

...which means competitor Sayuri wins this match!

That's the end to this fierce battle. Period.

Competitor Hiroshi's Pikachu has used up all its strength against Ivysaur.

Leon!

Leon, hang in there!

You were amazing...

You were great.

You won, Ivysaur!

Let's work even harder on the next one.

No way...

Hiroshi lost...

Are you okay, Leon?

Satoshi!

Umm... Well...

I'm sorry, you came to cheer me on and everything.

It's not that...

We've both got some way to go.

Without a doubt, this is our last chance.

We can't have the Pokémon League end with us empty-handed.

Evil will absolutely win in the end.

We are the Rocket Gang, and we will be taking those two Pikachu.

All right! Time to begin combat!

I've competed with so many Pokémon Trainers...

I had a little confidence in myself, but it's a big world out there.

I guess I haven't had enough experience.

But it was really great to learn from.

To become a worthy Pokémon Master,

I have to work even harder!

Hiroshi reflects on the match he lost and thinks about what's next...

In comparison, I'm...

Satoshi?

Let's both become stronger,

and, someday, we'll have another match.

Yes. Sounds great.

I'll start again from scratch...

All right! Let's do it!

Work our absolute hardest!

Pikachu?

Leon?

Who is it?

Spearow

Are you okay, Satoshi?

What happened?

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!

The Rocket Gang!

Aren't you dim-witted, brat-boys?

Being completely caught in such a simple plan.

Simple is best.

Of all our Rocket Gang plans,

the pitfall has been proven to have the highest success rate.

Which means...

We'll be taking both Pikachu.

You think I'll allow that?

Satoshi!

Sorry!

The truth is that it's a two-level drop.

We added some depth but still stayed true to the fundamentals of the pitfall plan.

Now, while we have the chance...

Agreed!

A hit!

It's pointless, you 'chu.

This cage sucks up all that electricity of yours into a battery.

And we're going to use that battery later.

From today onwards, we're eco-friendly villains.

Now, time to leave!

Aye, aye, sir!

We won't let you!

I'm counting on you, Bulbasaur.

Bulbasaur, Vine Whip!

Steal back that cage!

Oh! I don't think so!

Do it, Weezing!

Pidgeotto, Gust!

Hiroshi!

Zippo!

I get it!

Zippo, it's your time to shine!

Razor Leaf!

Now, Zippo!

Flamethrower!

Pikachu! Leon!

Build up electricity in that cage!

Go, Squirtle!

Water Gun!

We're saved...

The cage is gone!

Over here!

We'll return the cage to you.

This feels bad!

We did it!

Thank you, Satoshi.

You saved me.

Oh no. It was just a last-ditch effort.

Satoshi!

Kasumi! Takeshi!

Professor Ōkido is treating everyone to a delicious dinner.

Dinner?

Come to think of it, I haven't eaten anything in ages.

I'm so hungry.

Why don't you come, too, Hiroshi?

Sure! Thanks!

With that settled, let's dash!

All right!

Let's go!

Satoshi! Wait up!

Hurry up!

At the Pokémon League, these excellent Pokémon Trainers and their Pokémon competed in skill and power!

We now have reached the Indigo Tournament closing ceremony.

President Tamaranze will award competitors with memorial plates as proof of their participation.

Heave-ho.

If we don't hurry, the closing ceremony will end!

If we pull this off, we can take whatever Pokémon we want!

This time, the pitfall plan will succeed!

Dig! Dig! Dig!

The ones waving their arms now

are the top-ranking winners!

They look really happy!

They're getting heaps of applause from the entire Stadium!

We have to hurry!

Vertical dig! Vertical dig!

Horizontal dig! Horizontal dig!

It's the climax of the closing ceremony at long last!

What a moving finale!

I'm getting a Pokémon response from above.

Let's go!

Stab! Stab! Stab!

Dig here! Dig here! Dig here!

Stab! Stab! Stab!

What is this?

Could it be...?

Run away!

Boom cries the firework! So very beautiful!

The Pokémon League is over...

A lot has happened.

Yeah, a lot has happened.

Pikachu!

I'm going.

I see, stay well.

Goodbye.

Hiroshi!

I'm definitely going to win next time!

[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.]

[Whether in fires, in the water, in the grass, in the forests,]

[In the ground, in the clouds,]

[in that girl's skirt (Not again!)]

[It's very, very, very, very tricky, but]

[I'm sure I'll get you!]

[Pokémon, I'll get you!]

[Tired from battling, time for sleep, good night]

[If I close my eyes, it all comes back (Pikachu?)]

[How flames burned, the wind danced...]

[How the cries echoed in that battle... (Hurry it up!)]

[The enemy of yesterday is the friend of today]

Pikachu, I'm counting on you from here on out.

[That's the old saying, but... (What do you mean old?!)]

[The friend of today is also the friend of tomorrow...]

[That's right, for all eternity]

Everyone!

All right, let's go home to Pallet Town!

[Ah! I aim to be a Pokémon Master,]

And that's how the curtain peacefully closed

[I want to be,]

on the Pokémon League Indigo Tournament.

[I have to be,]

And so, Satoshi and his friends returned to Pallet Town once more.

[I know I'll be one!]

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

We've finally reached the moving and exciting Pokémon League Indigo Tournament's closing ceremony.

This time, I've invited the Head of the Executive Committee, President Tamaranze.

Thank you for being here, Mr. President.

Isn't that incredible?

256 people in total fought with all the power they could muster in the Pokémon League Indigo Tournament.

Satoshi got Best 16.

To recognize their strenuous efforts, every participant is awarded a memorial plate.

Isn't that incredible?

What are your thoughts looking back on the Tournament, Mr. President?

Isn't that incredible?

That's President Tamaranze for you.

Now, for the poem.

The strong ones battle...

Incredible, isn't it?

It's come to an end.

My friends, you must get Pokémon as well!

After finishing the Pokémon League battles, Professor Ōkido asks me to go to the Orange Archipelago.

We meet some frightened Pidgey along the way.

It seems the Pidgey have been chased out of their home by a Fearow and its followers.

All right!

Go, Pidgeotto!

Only you can save them!
