After two weeks of being lost..
00:01:06.486 --> 00:01:07.948
Whoa!
00:01:07.948 --> 00:01:09.650
Our heroes reach
Vermilion City.
00:01:09.650 --> 00:01:10.991

Congratulations!

You've finally made it!

Oh, I can't wait
to take a bubble bath!
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:22.002
I have to hit the laundromat!
00:01:22.002 --> 00:01:23.794
I'm gonna find
the Vermillion City Gym..
00:01:23.794 --> 00:01:24.965
...right now!
00:01:24.965 --> 00:01:28.088

[whimpering]
00:01:31.762 --> 00:01:35.135
- Pikachu.
- It must be hungry.
00:01:35.135 --> 00:01:38.218
We haven't eaten anything decent
for three days now.
00:01:38.218 --> 00:01:41.561
Hey, Pikachu. You feeling
hungry, little buddy?
00:01:41.561 --> 00:01:42.853
[stomach growling]
00:01:42.853 --> 00:01:44.184

00:01:44.184 --> 00:01:46.226
[laughs]
00:01:46.226 --> 00:01:48.899
I guess we're all
a little hungry, eh, Pikachu?
00:01:48.899 --> 00:01:51.281
Pika.

I look like
all the other nurses, don't I?
00:02:13.053 --> 00:02:15.175
My first cousin
works in Pewter City
00:02:15.175 --> 00:02:18.058
and my second cousin
works in Viridian City.

'I think I'm the prettiest one,
don't you?'
00:02:20.641 --> 00:02:21.892
Yeah!
00:02:21.892 --> 00:02:23.063
- Hurry!
- Huh?
00:02:23.063 --> 00:02:25.185
(Trainer 1)
'You'll be okay, Rattata!'
00:02:25.185 --> 00:02:26.526
Hurry!
00:02:26.526 --> 00:02:29.109
That Ratatta's in rough shape.
00:02:29.109 --> 00:02:31.191
I wonder what happened.
00:02:31.191 --> 00:02:34.234
Oh, it's the fifteenth one
brought in this month.
00:02:34.234 --> 00:02:35.615

00:02:42.332 --> 00:02:45.585
Whoa!
He must be a great trainer.
00:02:45.585 --> 00:02:49.129
- So Ash, you scared already?
- No way!
00:02:49.129 --> 00:02:52.422
Well, you talk big,
but when you see how tough it is
00:02:52.422 --> 00:02:54.094
to get badges, you turn chicken.
00:02:54.094 --> 00:02:55.966
Maybe you should just quit now.
00:02:55.966 --> 00:02:58.348
Besides, the badges you do have,
you got out of pity!
00:02:58.348 --> 00:03:00.640
A badge is a badge!
00:03:00.640 --> 00:03:02.222
Oh. Ow!
00:03:02.222 --> 00:03:04.685
Why don't you try to prove
how tough you are
00:03:04.685 --> 00:03:06.066
at the Vermilion Gym?
00:03:06.066 --> 00:03:08.268
From the looks of things here,
you'll have to be tough
00:03:08.268 --> 00:03:10.150
to battle
with this Lieutenant Surge.
00:03:10.150 --> 00:03:13.073
You think he's that tough?
00:03:13.073 --> 00:03:15.235
We gave you badges you know.
00:03:15.235 --> 00:03:17.818
How do you think we'll look
if you get crushed by Surge?
00:03:17.818 --> 00:03:19.489
You have nothin' to worry about
00:03:19.489 --> 00:03:21.702
except maybe seeing
my own incredible strength!
00:03:21.702 --> 00:03:23.704
(Joy)
Alright, that's enough!
00:03:23.704 --> 00:03:25.375
She started it!
00:03:25.375 --> 00:03:28.208
Remember, this is a hospital.
00:03:28.208 --> 00:03:29.750
- Oh!
- Oh!
00:03:33.043 --> 00:03:34.835
They say if two people fight
00:03:34.835 --> 00:03:37.177
they really care
about each other.
00:03:37.177 --> 00:03:39.099
- Me care about him?
- Me care about her?
00:03:39.099 --> 00:03:40.260
- Hmph!
- Hmph!
00:03:40.260 --> 00:03:41.802

your Pokemon is recovered.

- Pik?
- I hope you're full.
00:03:53.523 --> 00:03:55.485
'Cause we're gonna win big
at that gym today!
00:03:55.485 --> 00:03:58.318
- Pik.
- Come on, let's go win a badge!
00:03:58.318 --> 00:04:02.362
Please hurry!
Just hold on, Pidgey!
00:04:02.362 --> 00:04:05.245
I guess they must've come
from that gym.
00:04:05.245 --> 00:04:06.706
- Pi!
- Huh?
00:04:06.706 --> 00:04:08.368
Pikachu! Pikachu!
00:04:08.368 --> 00:04:10.370
What? Don't be a coward!
00:04:10.370 --> 00:04:14.374
- Pika-Pikachu!
- Huh?
00:04:14.374 --> 00:04:17.507
Don't I even care if you end up
like that Pidgey in there?
00:04:17.507 --> 00:04:19.379
Is that it?
00:04:19.379 --> 00:04:22.182
- Pika-Pika.
- Yeah.
00:04:22.182 --> 00:04:23.764
I guess you're right.
00:04:23.764 --> 00:04:26.096

Chu.
00:04:26.096 --> 00:04:27.347
No problem!
00:04:27.347 --> 00:04:29.349
You won't end up that way
'cause you'll win!
00:04:29.349 --> 00:04:30.480
Pikachu!
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:32.893
Don't be a scaredy cat, Pikachu!
00:04:32.893 --> 00:04:36.777
Pika-Pikachu!
00:04:36.777 --> 00:04:40.570
The way they fight
must mean they care a lot!
00:04:40.570 --> 00:04:42.162
[intense music]
00:04:43.493 --> 00:04:46.166
(Ash)
'So this is
the Vermilion City Gym.'
00:04:46.166 --> 00:04:48.248
It's not too late to back out.
00:04:48.248 --> 00:04:50.290
Why should I back out
when I'm gonna win?
00:04:50.290 --> 00:04:52.372
Just stick around and watch me!
00:04:52.372 --> 00:04:55.125
I'll stick around to see your
face when you get creamed!
00:04:55.125 --> 00:04:56.716
If you think
we're gonna get creamed
00:04:56.716 --> 00:04:58.378
you're gonna be disappointed!
00:04:58.378 --> 00:05:00.550
Are we ever gonna go inside?
00:05:00.550 --> 00:05:03.343
[creaking]
00:05:07.767 --> 00:05:10.310
Hello, I've come
for a Pokemon battle
00:05:10.310 --> 00:05:11.852
to earn a Thunder Badge!
00:05:11.852 --> 00:05:15.145
Hey boss, another victim
for the emergency room.
00:05:17.197 --> 00:05:19.029
Which one?
00:05:19.029 --> 00:05:20.400
Uh..
00:05:30.250 --> 00:05:32.332
Whoa! He's huge.
00:05:32.332 --> 00:05:35.255
Is he the gym leader
you have to beat?
00:05:35.255 --> 00:05:38.338
- Welcome to Vermilion Gym!
- Ah!
00:05:38.338 --> 00:05:42.172
Oh, my next challenge
is a cute one.
00:05:42.172 --> 00:05:43.964
Don't think I'll go easy on you!
00:05:43.964 --> 00:05:47.968
[giggles]
Um, excuse me,
I'm not the challenger.
00:05:47.968 --> 00:05:50.640
- Then who?
- Me, that's who!
00:05:50.640 --> 00:05:52.352
Hmm?
00:05:52.352 --> 00:05:53.813
Oh, you?
00:05:53.813 --> 00:05:56.236
Okay, baby!
00:05:56.236 --> 00:05:57.687
I'm no baby!
00:05:57.687 --> 00:05:59.529
My name's Ash Ketchum!
00:05:59.529 --> 00:06:03.533
Heh! I call everyone
who loses to me, "Baby."
00:06:03.533 --> 00:06:05.485
- Huh?
- Mmm?
00:06:05.485 --> 00:06:07.287
Huh, a Pikachu?
00:06:07.287 --> 00:06:09.329
Hey, look at this?
00:06:09.329 --> 00:06:11.661
Baby brought along
a baby Pokemon!
00:06:11.661 --> 00:06:13.413
[laughs]
00:06:13.413 --> 00:06:16.917
Quit it! Why are you making fun
of my Pikachu?
00:06:16.917 --> 00:06:18.128
Pika-Pika.
00:06:18.128 --> 00:06:20.460
Oh, I'll show you why!
00:06:20.460 --> 00:06:22.672
Go, Poke Ball!
00:06:25.505 --> 00:06:27.427
Rai!
00:06:27.427 --> 00:06:30.430
It's a Raichu!
00:06:30.430 --> 00:06:31.391
(Pokedex)
Raichu.
00:06:31.391 --> 00:06:33.934
A mouse Pokemon
of the electric element.
00:06:33.934 --> 00:06:36.186
'Raichu is the evolved form
of Pikachu.'
00:06:36.186 --> 00:06:39.069
It can shock
with more than 100,000 volts
00:06:39.069 --> 00:06:41.691
'enough to render
a Dragonite unconscious.'
00:06:41.691 --> 00:06:44.444
[growling]
00:06:44.444 --> 00:06:45.615
Okay, baby.
00:06:45.615 --> 00:06:48.078
'If you wanna quit,
now's your chance.'
00:06:48.078 --> 00:06:49.329
Raichu.
00:06:49.329 --> 00:06:51.451
There's no way
we're gonna quit now!
00:06:51.451 --> 00:06:54.454
(Lt. Surge)
'Hah! What could a baby
like that do?'
00:06:54.454 --> 00:06:56.916
If you want to become
a Pokemon master
00:06:56.916 --> 00:07:00.380
you should make your Pokemon
evolve as soon as you catch it.
00:07:00.380 --> 00:07:01.711
There's more to raising
a Pokemon
00:07:01.711 --> 00:07:03.633
than forcing it to evolve!
00:07:03.633 --> 00:07:05.966
And I like this Pikachu
just the way it is!
00:07:05.966 --> 00:07:07.047
[laughs]
00:07:07.047 --> 00:07:08.678
Wrong, baby.
00:07:08.678 --> 00:07:11.141
Electric Pokemon are only useful
00:07:11.141 --> 00:07:14.014
'once they've learned all their
different electrical attacks.'
00:07:14.014 --> 00:07:17.227
'You keep it puny like that,
it's no more than a little pet.'
00:07:17.227 --> 00:07:19.189
[growling]
00:07:19.189 --> 00:07:20.730
Can Pikachu beat Raichu?
00:07:20.730 --> 00:07:22.192
I seriously doubt it.
00:07:22.192 --> 00:07:25.485
Especially if Raichu knows
all the electric attacks.
00:07:25.485 --> 00:07:27.027
Okay, baby.
00:07:27.027 --> 00:07:29.779
Did you chums just come here
to show us your little pet?
00:07:29.779 --> 00:07:32.122
We came here to earn
a Thunder badge!
00:07:32.122 --> 00:07:34.164
- Pika-Pika.
- Pikachu?
00:07:34.164 --> 00:07:36.376
[growling]
00:07:36.376 --> 00:07:37.707
That's unusual.
00:07:37.707 --> 00:07:40.080
Pikachu really wants
to go into battle.
00:07:40.080 --> 00:07:41.501
I'm not surprised.
00:07:41.501 --> 00:07:42.962
Pikachu!
00:07:42.962 --> 00:07:44.884
I'm counting on you.
00:07:44.884 --> 00:07:46.886
Pikachu.
00:07:48.678 --> 00:07:50.390
Oh, well!
00:07:50.390 --> 00:07:52.892
I guess you'll learn
that playing with the big boys
00:07:52.892 --> 00:07:56.476
can be a shocking experience!
00:07:56.476 --> 00:07:58.478
(gym announcer)
'The Pokemon battle
will now begin.'
00:07:58.478 --> 00:08:00.980
'Only one Pokemon may be used.'
00:08:00.980 --> 00:08:03.983
'The gym leader, Lieutenant
Surge, has chosen Raichu.'
00:08:03.983 --> 00:08:07.067
'The challenger, Ash,
has chosen Pikachu.'
00:08:07.067 --> 00:08:10.110
'No time limit!
Let the battle begin!'
00:08:10.110 --> 00:08:11.451
[bell rings]
00:08:11.451 --> 00:08:13.953
- Go, Raichu!
- Rai!
00:08:13.953 --> 00:08:17.617
- Go! Pikachu!
- Pika!
00:08:17.617 --> 00:08:19.419
Pikachu, Thunder Shock!
00:08:19.419 --> 00:08:22.042
Pikachu!
00:08:23.543 --> 00:08:25.045
- Huh?
- What's that?
00:08:25.045 --> 00:08:28.588
Raichu!
Show 'em a real Thunder Shock!
00:08:28.588 --> 00:08:32.592
- Rai-chu!
- Pika..
00:08:32.592 --> 00:08:34.684
[gasps]
00:08:34.684 --> 00:08:36.636
...chu!
00:08:36.636 --> 00:08:39.519
- Raichu.
- It's over, baby.
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:41.191
(Lt. Surge)
'You didn't really think that'
00:08:41.191 --> 00:08:44.644
'Pikachu could beat my Raichu,
did you?'
00:08:44.644 --> 00:08:45.605
Pikachu!
00:08:45.605 --> 00:08:47.567
- Call it back, Ash!
- But..
00:08:47.567 --> 00:08:50.200
Raichu's shocks
are too powerful.
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:51.651
This is a mismatch.
00:08:51.651 --> 00:08:55.075
Uh.. Pikachu, return!
00:08:55.075 --> 00:08:56.616
Uh-uh..
00:08:56.616 --> 00:08:57.867
Pikachu?
00:08:57.867 --> 00:08:59.619
Pikachu still wants to fight?
00:08:59.619 --> 00:09:02.212
Pika..
00:09:02.212 --> 00:09:03.333
...chu!
00:09:03.333 --> 00:09:04.504
[chuckles]
00:09:04.504 --> 00:09:06.506
It's pretty gutsy for a toy.
00:09:06.506 --> 00:09:08.588
- Pika!
- Pikachu!
00:09:08.588 --> 00:09:10.720
I enjoy playing with toys
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:13.553
but playtime's over!
00:09:13.553 --> 00:09:15.435
Raichu! Mega Punch!
00:09:15.435 --> 00:09:16.596
Rai!
00:09:16.596 --> 00:09:18.598
Now, a Mega Kick!
00:09:18.598 --> 00:09:19.679
Chu!
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:20.680
Pikachu!
00:09:20.680 --> 00:09:23.563
Pi-ka!
00:09:23.563 --> 00:09:26.606
Ha-ha! Pikachu's really
getting pounded!
00:09:26.606 --> 00:09:29.449
That Raichu
really must be strong!
00:09:29.449 --> 00:09:31.151
Hey, I just thought
of something.
00:09:31.151 --> 00:09:34.324
- If Pikachu loses this battle..
- You're right!
00:09:34.324 --> 00:09:36.456
Then it's not worth
stealing after all.
00:09:36.456 --> 00:09:37.697
We've wasted all this time.
00:09:37.697 --> 00:09:39.659
Maybe, you can steal Raichu!
00:09:39.659 --> 00:09:41.961
[grunts]
00:09:41.961 --> 00:09:43.583
(Jessie)
Come on, Pikachu.
00:09:43.583 --> 00:09:45.545
Can't you zap it
like you always do?
00:09:45.545 --> 00:09:47.587
Surge is getting ready
to finish it off!
00:09:47.587 --> 00:09:48.798
Huh!
00:09:48.798 --> 00:09:52.262
Now,
give us the big finale Raichu!
00:09:52.262 --> 00:09:55.095
[grunts]
00:09:55.095 --> 00:09:56.346
Ah!
00:09:56.346 --> 00:09:58.678
'Pikachu!'
00:10:09.899 --> 00:10:12.192
- Pi..
- Pikachu!
00:10:12.192 --> 00:10:14.654
I'm glad you're okay.
00:10:14.654 --> 00:10:16.866
Pika-chu!
00:10:16.866 --> 00:10:19.739
- Huh.
- Pikachu got hurt pretty badly.
00:10:19.739 --> 00:10:21.000
I can see that.
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:23.583
No, no, I mean its spirit.
00:10:23.583 --> 00:10:25.455
What do you mean?
00:10:25.455 --> 00:10:29.209
(Brock)
'Pikachu was totally
overpowered by that Raichu.'
00:10:29.209 --> 00:10:31.841
- Brock's right, Ash.
- We'll try harder!
00:10:31.841 --> 00:10:35.135
We'll win next time
if Pikachu tries harder.
00:10:35.135 --> 00:10:38.057
I think Pikachu was trying
its best the last time.
00:10:38.057 --> 00:10:39.559
Hmm.
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:41.521
(Joy)
'There is one way
you might win.'
00:10:41.521 --> 00:10:42.892
(all)
Huh?
00:10:42.892 --> 00:10:44.684
I'm sorry.
00:10:44.684 --> 00:10:47.477
I overheard your conversation,
and I just thought that maybe--
00:10:47.477 --> 00:10:48.688
How can we win?
00:10:48.688 --> 00:10:52.572
A while ago, I just happened
to come across this.
00:10:52.572 --> 00:10:54.984
(Brock)
'Wow, it's a Thunder Stone!'
00:10:54.984 --> 00:10:57.657
- A Thunder Stone?
- Yes.
00:10:57.657 --> 00:11:01.951
You can use it to make Pikachu
evolve into a Raichu.
00:11:01.951 --> 00:11:04.704
I could evolve Pikachu
into a Raichu?
00:11:04.704 --> 00:11:07.747
Then Pikachu might be
strong enough to win.
00:11:07.747 --> 00:11:10.920
You've got to think hard
before using the Thunder Stone.
00:11:10.920 --> 00:11:11.961
Huh?
00:11:11.961 --> 00:11:14.133
If you make Pikachu evolve, Ash,
00:11:14.133 --> 00:11:16.055
you can't change it back.
00:11:16.055 --> 00:11:18.888
Pikachu will never be the same.
00:11:18.888 --> 00:11:20.800
If Pikachu becomes a Raichu
00:11:20.800 --> 00:11:22.642
I might be able to win
that badge.
00:11:22.642 --> 00:11:24.854
On the other hand..
00:11:24.854 --> 00:11:27.807
...to make it evolve
just to fight..
00:11:27.807 --> 00:11:30.149
I would be just like Surge.
00:11:30.149 --> 00:11:33.733
Pikachu, what do you want to do?
00:11:33.733 --> 00:11:35.235
Pika.
00:11:35.235 --> 00:11:37.987
I really wanna beat that Surge
00:11:37.987 --> 00:11:40.079
but I also don't wanna
force you to evolve
00:11:40.079 --> 00:11:43.122
if you'd be happier
staying the way you are now.
00:11:50.750 --> 00:11:52.672
He's letting Pikachu decide.
00:11:52.672 --> 00:11:55.715
If it becomes Raichu,
it'll be stronger.
00:11:55.715 --> 00:11:57.637
What's it gonna do?
00:11:59.469 --> 00:12:01.301
- Pi--
- Pikachu!
00:12:01.301 --> 00:12:02.642
Save your strength!
00:12:05.515 --> 00:12:08.848
- Pik-achu.
- Ah!
00:12:08.848 --> 00:12:10.520
Pikachu!
00:12:10.520 --> 00:12:12.772
Pika-Pikachu! Pika!
00:12:12.772 --> 00:12:14.774
'Pi-Pi-Pi-Pikachu!'
00:12:14.774 --> 00:12:18.027
Pika! Pika! Pikachu!
00:12:18.027 --> 00:12:19.659
It's so brave!
00:12:19.659 --> 00:12:21.861
So tell us
what Pikachu's saying?
00:12:21.861 --> 00:12:23.533
Pikachu won't change.
00:12:23.533 --> 00:12:27.287
If it's going to Pika Raichu
it wants to do it just as it is.
00:12:27.287 --> 00:12:30.039
You mean it's going to battle
again as a Pikachu?
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:33.673
It's going to fight
in the name of all Pikachu!
00:12:33.673 --> 00:12:35.585
[sobbing]
Really?
00:12:35.585 --> 00:12:38.548
That's so beautiful!
00:12:38.548 --> 00:12:40.800
Pikachu, together,
you and I will beat
00:12:40.800 --> 00:12:42.882
Lieutenant Surge and his Raichu!
00:12:42.882 --> 00:12:44.013
Pika-Pika!
00:12:44.013 --> 00:12:45.765
You're both crazy!
00:12:45.765 --> 00:12:47.687
You should change
your strategy, Ash!
00:12:47.687 --> 00:12:49.349
Maybe use your other Pokemon!
00:12:49.349 --> 00:12:51.731
It's hard,
but it's not impossible!
00:12:51.731 --> 00:12:54.274
Pikachu and I
will find a way to win!
00:12:54.274 --> 00:12:56.896
- Pika-Pikachu-Pika!
- Huh?
00:12:56.896 --> 00:12:59.739
Pikachu will prove
it can beat Raichu.
00:12:59.739 --> 00:13:02.822
It will defend
its honor and Ash's!
00:13:02.822 --> 00:13:05.865
Oh, dear, that's magnificent!
00:13:05.865 --> 00:13:08.037
Alright...are we all charged up?
00:13:08.037 --> 00:13:11.961
Pik-achu!
00:13:11.961 --> 00:13:13.172
Huh?
00:13:13.172 --> 00:13:15.965
It hasn't fully recovered
its stamina.
00:13:15.965 --> 00:13:18.758
You should let it rest
a little while longer.
00:13:18.758 --> 00:13:20.590
Hm.
00:13:20.590 --> 00:13:22.342
'Pikachu.'
00:13:24.053 --> 00:13:27.387
Oh, this whole thing
has me so nervous!
00:13:27.387 --> 00:13:28.688
Really?
00:13:28.688 --> 00:13:31.431
Since when did you decide
to worry about me?
00:13:31.431 --> 00:13:33.983
Not you!
I'm concerned about Pikachu.
00:13:33.983 --> 00:13:35.485
I hope it'll be okay!
00:13:35.485 --> 00:13:37.437
- Hey, Ash.
- Yeah?
00:13:37.437 --> 00:13:39.989
During the fight, Surge said
that he made his Raichu
00:13:39.989 --> 00:13:41.941
evolve as soon as he got it,
didn't he?
00:13:41.941 --> 00:13:42.782
Yeah.
00:13:42.782 --> 00:13:46.075
Then, perhaps there is a way.
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:54.874
Pikachu...our lucky star..
00:13:54.874 --> 00:13:56.916
...is shining today!
00:13:56.916 --> 00:13:59.258
Pik! Pika?
00:13:59.258 --> 00:14:01.340
Where? I don't see it.
00:14:01.340 --> 00:14:03.843
How can you see a star
in the middle of the day?
00:14:03.843 --> 00:14:06.966
Oh, I don't mean
it's actually shining!
00:14:06.966 --> 00:14:10.470
- Let's go Pikachu!
- 'Pika.'
00:14:10.470 --> 00:14:13.272
Seems like they're ready to win,
doesn't it?
00:14:24.984 --> 00:14:27.326
(Ash)
'Huh?'
00:14:27.326 --> 00:14:29.659
Uh, who are you guys?
00:14:29.659 --> 00:14:32.371
(both)
To protect the world
from devastation..
00:14:32.371 --> 00:14:33.833
Icks-nay!
00:14:33.833 --> 00:14:35.955
- We forgot!
- We forgot!
00:14:35.955 --> 00:14:38.628
We are the challenger's
cheerleaders, and we're here
00:14:38.628 --> 00:14:41.090
to show our support
for the brave Pikachu and Ash!
00:14:41.090 --> 00:14:42.381
- Rah!
- Rah!
00:14:42.381 --> 00:14:44.804
In honor of the great
Pikachu's bravery
00:14:44.804 --> 00:14:46.846
we wish to offer a cheer!
00:14:46.846 --> 00:14:50.139
- We want you! Pikachu!
- Pi! Ka! Chu!
00:14:50.139 --> 00:14:51.721
- Gimme a Pi! Gimme a Ka!
- Pi!
00:14:51.721 --> 00:14:53.062
- 'Gimme a Chu! What d'you got?'
- 'Ka! Chu!'
00:14:53.062 --> 00:14:55.104
- 'Pika-Achu! Yeah! Fight!'
- 'Yeah!'
00:14:55.104 --> 00:14:58.778
- 'Pikachu!'
- 'Pi-Ka-Chu!'
00:14:58.778 --> 00:15:01.901
Hip hip hooray!
00:15:01.901 --> 00:15:05.825
Okay, let's split.
00:15:05.825 --> 00:15:07.907
That was really disturbing.
00:15:07.907 --> 00:15:09.449
Thanks for your support!
00:15:09.449 --> 00:15:11.951
- 'Bye, Team Rocket!'
- Huh?
00:15:11.951 --> 00:15:13.953
(Meowth)
How did they know it was us?
00:15:13.953 --> 00:15:15.535
(Jessie)
Lucky guess!
00:15:15.535 --> 00:15:17.457
[chuckles]
00:15:20.750 --> 00:15:24.504
(Surge)
Hey, baby, you ready to take
another beating?
00:15:24.504 --> 00:15:27.306
You didn't even make
your Pikachu evolve!
00:15:27.306 --> 00:15:29.428
You haven't learned
anything yet!
00:15:29.428 --> 00:15:30.970
Don't be so sure, Surge!
00:15:30.970 --> 00:15:33.763
Okay. Well, let's see!
00:15:33.763 --> 00:15:36.816
(thug 1)
'The challenger, Ash,
using a Pikachu.'
00:15:36.816 --> 00:15:39.899
'The Gym Leader, Lieutenant
Surge, using a Raichu!'
00:15:39.899 --> 00:15:42.732
'The Pokemon will battle one
on one, with no time limit!'
00:15:42.732 --> 00:15:44.363
'Let the battle begin!'
00:15:44.363 --> 00:15:45.485
[bell tolls]
00:15:45.485 --> 00:15:47.737
Use the strategy
we planned, Pikachu!
00:15:47.737 --> 00:15:49.028
You can do it!
00:15:49.028 --> 00:15:50.119
Pika!
00:15:50.119 --> 00:15:51.450
A strategy.
00:15:51.450 --> 00:15:54.033
So they've been planning
a new way to lose.
00:15:54.033 --> 00:15:55.374
Go, Raichu!
00:15:55.374 --> 00:15:57.577
Rai!
00:15:57.577 --> 00:15:59.078
[gasps]
00:16:02.461 --> 00:16:04.884
[grunts]
00:16:04.884 --> 00:16:07.216
- Pikachu!
- Hang in there, Pikachu!!
00:16:07.216 --> 00:16:09.178
Roll to the side and break away!
00:16:09.178 --> 00:16:12.141
- It can't lose!
- Not after the cheer we did!
00:16:12.141 --> 00:16:14.433
Maybe we did
the wrong kind of cheer.
00:16:14.433 --> 00:16:17.396
Do it, Raichu.
Give it the Body Slam!
00:16:17.396 --> 00:16:20.600
- Rai...chu!
- Chu!
00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:21.901
[gasps]
00:16:21.901 --> 00:16:23.523
Finish it off, Raichu!
00:16:23.523 --> 00:16:26.025
Another Body Slam!
00:16:26.025 --> 00:16:27.987
Raichu!
00:16:27.987 --> 00:16:29.909
[gasps]
00:16:29.909 --> 00:16:31.991
- 'Pikachu!'
- Watch out!
00:16:34.203 --> 00:16:36.245
- Hey, what?
- Chu!
00:16:36.245 --> 00:16:37.376
(all)
Alright!
00:16:37.376 --> 00:16:40.580
Do it, Pikachu!
Agility, now!
00:16:40.580 --> 00:16:43.502
Raichu! Use your Body Slam!
00:16:43.502 --> 00:16:46.505
[both grunting]
00:16:48.968 --> 00:16:51.390
- Uh, Raichu?
- It's working!
00:16:51.390 --> 00:16:53.593
- Just like Brock said!
- Right.
00:16:53.593 --> 00:16:55.344
Raichu evolved too fast.
00:16:55.344 --> 00:16:56.936
It never learned
the speed attacks
00:16:56.936 --> 00:16:59.308
it only learns
in the Pikachu stage!
00:16:59.308 --> 00:17:01.941
Okay, use all the Agility
you've got!
00:17:01.941 --> 00:17:03.192
Pika!
00:17:11.701 --> 00:17:14.113
Your Raichu's way too slow,
Surge!
00:17:14.113 --> 00:17:16.115
That's its weakness!
00:17:16.115 --> 00:17:17.997
Okay, Raichu!
00:17:17.997 --> 00:17:21.000
Give it a Thunderbolt!
Shut it down!
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:23.292
[grunts]
00:17:24.714 --> 00:17:25.795
[gasps]
00:17:27.667 --> 00:17:29.008
(all)
Ahh!
00:17:31.671 --> 00:17:33.382
[grunts]
00:17:33.382 --> 00:17:35.675
The end of the match!
00:17:35.675 --> 00:17:37.016
Huh?
00:17:37.016 --> 00:17:38.137
'What?'
00:17:38.137 --> 00:17:41.060
- Pikachu!
- Alright! Way to go!
00:17:41.060 --> 00:17:44.353
'It used its tail as a ground
and dodged the electric shock!'
00:17:44.353 --> 00:17:46.315
What a shocking story.
00:17:46.315 --> 00:17:48.527
That was quite a "Tale!"
00:17:48.527 --> 00:17:50.149
- Meowth!
- Oh..
00:17:50.149 --> 00:17:53.613
(Meowth)
And now you've
both been pun-ished.
00:17:53.613 --> 00:17:56.035
- Heh-heh-heh.
- Koffing.
00:17:57.747 --> 00:17:58.998
[panting]
00:17:58.998 --> 00:18:02.001
Raichu!
Give it another Thunderbolt!
00:18:02.001 --> 00:18:04.543
Rai!
00:18:04.543 --> 00:18:07.006
Rai! Huh?
00:18:07.006 --> 00:18:09.208
- Do something!
- It's over!
00:18:09.208 --> 00:18:11.130
Raichu ran out of electricity!
00:18:11.130 --> 00:18:13.212
Alright! Quick Attack!
00:18:13.212 --> 00:18:14.213
Chu!
00:18:14.213 --> 00:18:17.056
Raichu! Take Down, now!
00:18:17.056 --> 00:18:20.980
- Rai--
- Pika-Chu!
00:18:20.980 --> 00:18:22.982
Pika-Pikachu!
00:18:22.982 --> 00:18:26.936
Raichu..
00:18:28.728 --> 00:18:30.569
Unbelievable!
00:18:30.569 --> 00:18:33.152
[groans]
00:18:33.152 --> 00:18:34.654
We did it, Pikachu!
00:18:34.654 --> 00:18:36.696
- Way to go!
- Fantastic!
00:18:36.696 --> 00:18:37.947
(all)
Hooray!
00:18:37.947 --> 00:18:39.578
Victory!
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:44.123
Pikachu.
00:18:44.123 --> 00:18:46.295
(Lt. Surge)
'Congratulations!'
00:18:46.295 --> 00:18:49.338
Nice job, Ash, Pikachu.
00:18:49.338 --> 00:18:53.052
As proof of your victory,
a Thunder Badge!
00:18:53.052 --> 00:18:54.844
Thank you.
00:18:57.096 --> 00:19:01.100
Would you look at that!
It's really a Thunder Badge!
00:19:01.100 --> 00:19:02.521
You should be proud.
00:19:02.521 --> 00:19:05.144
You and your Pikachu
really fought good together.
00:19:05.144 --> 00:19:07.106
Thanks.
00:19:07.106 --> 00:19:10.189
A Thunder Badge!
And it's all mine!
00:19:10.189 --> 00:19:12.231
Pik-Pikachu!
00:19:12.231 --> 00:19:14.613
Nice victory, Ash!
00:19:14.613 --> 00:19:16.195
You're no baby!
00:19:16.195 --> 00:19:18.407
Congratulations, Ash, Pikachu.
00:19:18.407 --> 00:19:20.409
You've finally got
your own badge!
00:19:20.409 --> 00:19:25.414
- Rai! Rai! Rai!
- Pika! Pik?
00:19:25.414 --> 00:19:29.088
Thank you, Pikachu!
This was your victory!
00:19:29.088 --> 00:19:30.710
Pika!
00:19:32.131 --> 00:19:33.292
Wow!
00:19:33.292 --> 00:19:35.594
Now, I can see
lots of lucky stars!
00:19:35.594 --> 00:19:37.256
Pika-Pika!
00:19:37.256 --> 00:19:39.929
Those two really
are quite a team!
00:19:39.929 --> 00:19:41.220
Yes, indeed!
00:19:41.220 --> 00:19:44.183
[laughs]
00:19:49.568 --> 00:19:52.231
That Pikachu really is special!
00:19:52.231 --> 00:19:54.814
That's why it's worth snatching!
00:19:54.814 --> 00:19:56.235
Hey, once we steal it
00:19:56.235 --> 00:19:59.278
maybe we can earn
our own badges!
00:19:59.278 --> 00:20:01.821
(narrator)
Ash and Pikachu
won a Thunder Badge
00:20:01.821 --> 00:20:04.784
in an impressive performance,
but they still have a long way
00:20:04.784 --> 00:20:07.286
to go to reach their goal,
as does Team Rocket.
00:20:07.286 --> 00:20:11.170
And so the adventure continues
on and on!
00:20:11.170 --> 00:20:14.794
Drat! We wasted this episode
cheering the good guys!
00:20:14.794 --> 00:20:15.885
[grunts]
00:20:15.885 --> 00:20:16.886
(narrator)
Right, James!
00:20:16.886 --> 00:20:18.888
Better luck next time!
