"We all live in a Pokémon world" "NARRATOR:" "Last time, our heroes arrived on Valencia Island... to pick up a mysterious Pokéball for their friend Professor Oak." "After getting the GS ball from Professor Ivy..." "Brock decided to stay and work at her lab... so Ash and Misty headed home by blimp." "As usual, our duo was double-crossed by Team Rocket." "And, as usual, their triumph turned to tragedy... when Jigglypuff decided to provide... some inflight entertainment." "While Ash and company have drifted off to sleep... their blimp has drifted seriously off-course." "Now they're headed for a rude awakening." "The big question is, will they land in a tropical dream... or on nightmare island?" "[Moaning]" "Oh, wow." "We made it." "Yeah, but where did we make it to?" "This looks like the middle of nowhere." "PlKACHU:" "Pika..." "[Birds twittering]" "Ash, can we just take a little break?" "All right." "misty:" "Whoa." "PlKACHU:" "Pi pi pi." "Oh, it's kind of weird." "We've been walking for miles... but we haven't seen a single person yet." "Hey, maybe this is a deserted island." "Deserted?" "Pika?" "We're trapped!" "Now we'll have to eat bugs and berries... for the rest of our lives!" "Aww!" "Well, berries can be very tasty." "[Rustling]" "Huh?" "Look, a Pikachu!" "WOMAN:" "Are we allowed to feed them?" "MAN:" "Isn't that a Togepi?" "Get a picture with us." "WOMAN:" "Smile for the camera!" "tourists:" "Pika-cheese!" "Where did all these tourists come from?" "Ha!" "Too bad this island isn't deserted." "[Exhausted moaning]" "Welcome to Pokémon Park!" "The Pokémon vacation destination!" "[Women laughing]" "Welcome!" "Welcome!" "WOMAN:" "Here's one for you, too." "P.A.:" "The Tangelo Island Chamber of Commerce... welcomes one and all to the home of Pokémon Park... the world's first Pokémon theme park." "ASH, misty:" "A theme park?" "Well, it looks like we picked a fun island to crash on." "Yeah, and it doesn't look like we have to eat any bugs." "Pika!" "Huh?" "Hey, what's the matter, Pikachu?" "[Togepi whimpers]" "Look!" "lt's a Lapras!" "[Moans]" "BOY ON LEFT:" "Come on!" "Get up and get moving, you stupid lump!" "You better listen or else!" "[Boy hits Lapras]" "[Howling]" "Hey, you guys!" "Quit hitting it!" "Why don't you leave that Lapras alone?" "I bet it never did anything to hurt you!" "PlKACHU:" "Pika Pika!" "Who asked your opinion?" "Yeah." "This is none of your business." "We don't need any little brats like you... telling us how to handle our Pokémon!" "Yeah!" "We're getting ready for our big Pokémon battle... against the Orange Crew, so get lost!" "I can't believe you three are Pokémon trainers!" "The Orange Crew?" "This will teach you to butt into our business, kid!" "Ha!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "[Chirps]" "Chan." "Spearow." "Spearow, let's show these two... what a real Pokémon battle looks like!" "Beedrill, let's get buzzing!" "Let's knock 'em out, Hitmonchan!" "They don't scare us, right, Pikachu?" "misty:" "Get inside where it's safe, Togepi." "TOGEPl:" "Togepi." "Hyaah!" "Hyaah!" "All right, Pikachu!" "Pika!" "MAN:" "Hold it!" "Huh?" "Huh?" "This should only take a second." "Hmm." "Mm-hmm." "Hmm." "The feathers on your Spearow indicate... it's not getting enough vitamins... and it could stand to lose a few pounds." "The coloring on this Beedrill is pretty poor." "And it's obvious this Hitmonchan isn't getting enough exercise." "Yeah." "Just as I suspected." "PlKACHU:" "Pika Pika?" "It's easy to see that these Pokémon... are pitifully underdeveloped." "What do you mean, underdeveloped?" "Who made you the expert?" "But this Pikachu looks just perfect!" "You can tell, 'cause its coat's so shiny." "Pika?" "Huh?" "Uh..." "H-hey!" "PlKACHU:" "Pikachu." "I just want to make a quick sketch." "Now, hold still." "PlKACHU:" "Pika?" "Looks like your Pikachu's electric sacks... are in super shape." "Really strong." "Hey, why don't I measure Pikachu's power level... with my voltage meter right now?" "Pika?" "OK." "Now show me a thundershock." "PlKACHU:" "Pi..." "Huh?" "Huh?" "We can't let these creeps ignore us!" "Let's go, guys!" "It's battle time!" "HlTMONCHAN:" "Hitmonchan!" "[Squawks]" "Watch out!" "Pika... chu!" "Aah!" "That was pretty good." "Whoa!" "Ay, ay, ay!" "Way to chase 'em away, Pikachu!" "PlKACHU:" "Pikachu!" "TRACEY:" "We've got to get help!" "Huh?" "Pi?" "I think this Lapras may be really hurt." "Oh!" "Huh?" "TRACEY:" "Uh...here." "lt's medicine." "What do l" "You get Lapras to take it." "I'll go and find Nurse Joy!" "Hey, wait!" "Uh..." "[Whimpering]" "ASH:" "Here." "Drink this, Lapras." "[Whines] lt'll make you feel better." "Drink it." "Come on." "PlKACHU:" "Pika!" "Pi!" "Pi...ka!" "Are you OK, Ash?" "Yeah." "I wonder why Lapras won't take it from me." "misty:" "How is Lapras doing, Nurse Joy?" "NURSE JOY:" "There weren't any serious injuries." "Lapras will be just fine after a good rest." "That's good news." "Ah!" "Pika!" "NURSE JOY:" "But there is a problem." "That Lapras is afraid to have... any kind of contact with people at all." "No wonder." "After the way those guys on the beach were treating it." "That's too bad." "Especially 'cause it's just an infant." "Huh?" "That's a baby Lapras?" "Mm." "TRACEY:" "Big schools of Lapras... pass by the island this time every year." "This one must've gotten separated from its group-- maybe during that last big storm we had." "ASH:" "Sounds like you know a lot about Pokémon." "Well, you learn a lot from being a Pokémon watcher." "TOGETHER:" "A Pokémon watcher?" "Pika?" "What is that?" "Pokémon watchers travel the world." "They go looking for all kinds of Pokémon... so they can observe and study... their characteristics and abilities." "They even search for new, undiscovered Pokémon." "Cool!" "Pika..." "So that's why you were taking all those notes... about Pikachu and the other Pokémon." "I'm Ash, and I'm gonna become a Pokémon master." "My name's Tracey." "My name's Misty." "Nice to meet you." "PlKACHU:" "Pikachu." "Same here." "Mm-hmm." "Hey, what do you say all three of us... try getting that Lapras back with its friends... where it belongs?" "Sounds great!" "Count me in!" "Pika!" "Togepi!" "Our losing streak's about to end." "I think our luck must finally be turning." "We're so close to grabbing a really rare Pokémon!" "Success is just one step away." "kids:" "Nurse Joy!" "Nurse Joy!" "Nurse Joy!" "BOY:" "Nurse Joy, my Sandshrew got scratched... while we were training, by accident." "girl:" "And my Voltorb is kinda tired... so maybe it could stay here for a day, maybe?" "BOY:" "Please, nurse, my Starmie needs a checkup... 'cause I want to challenge the Orange Crew." "NURSE JOY:" "Well, let's have a good look at them." "The Orange Crew?" "Don't you remember, Ash?" "Those three guys on the beach said something... about battling the Orange Crew, too." "Yeah." "I wonder what it's all about?" "The Orange Crew is what everybody here calls... this group of gym leaders... from the islands of the Orange archipelago." "misty:" "Gym leaders?" "TRACEY:" "Trainers can't compete in the Orange League... until they battle everybody in the Orange Crew." "Whoa!" "I didn't know there was a Pokémon League... in the Orange Islands." "Tangelo Island's the place where everybody starts out training." "Then the trainers have to go around... and beat every gym leader in the Orange Crew... before they can get to battle in the Orange League." "Well, it sounds like you have to be a pretty great trainer... to get into the Orange League." "I know exactly what you're thinking, Misty." "I have to challenge the Orange Crew... and compete in the Orange League!" "Ash, we don't have time to hang around here." "Don't you remember?" "We have to get that GS ball back to Palett... so Professor Oak can study it." "Did you say Professor Oak?" "ASH:" "He never said we couldn't make a few stops." "misty:" "All right, then, let's ask Professor Oak himself... and see what he thinks about it." "Come on, let's go!" "The Professor Oak?" "Hi, Ash." "Hello, Misty." "Glad to see you're both OK." "I was getting worried about you two." "Professor Ivy told me you and Misty had left on a blimp." "I hope you didn't run into any trouble." "ASH:" "We're OK now, Professor." "The GS ball's OK, too... and we're gonna bring it back to you real soon." "Hm." "That's great, but where are you calling from?" "ASH:" "From Tangelo Island." "Tangelo Island?" "ASH:" "If you don't mind, I'd like to do something before we leave." "Like what?" "Well, as long as I'm here... I want to compete in the Orange League." "OAK:" "Hmm, the Orange League, eh?" "You don't mind, do you, Professor?" "I have a feeling that whether I mind or not... I'm not going to be able to stop you." "Thanks, Professor." "I knew I could count on you." "Of course I'm very eager to take a look at that GS ball... but it's also important for you... to get in some rigorous training during your journey." "Thank you. I'll find out what "rigorous" means, too." "OAK:" "Good luck, Ash." "Wow!" "I can't believe I know 2 people who know my hero Professor Oak!" "What's the big deal about knowing Professor Oak?" "PlKACHU:" "Pika Pika?" "Yeah." "He's a real nice guy, but" "Every watcher knows Professor Oak... is one of the greatest Pokémon experts... on the whole entire planet!" "I knew Professor Oak was smart... but I didn't know he was famous, too." "PlKACHU:" "Pika." "OK!" "You just got yourself a new traveling buddy!" "Huh?" "See, if I stick with you... I'll finally get the chance to meet my hero Professor Oak!" "Hey, you just can't invite yourself!" "Good news!" "Lapras is awake and doing fine!" "Ahh!" "Ahh!" "kids:" "Who's that Pokémon?" "It's Ninetails!" "NlNETALES:" "Nine!" "misty:" "Come on over here, Lapras!" "TRACEY:" "This truck will take you back to the ocean." "ASH:" "Then you can find your friends!" "PlKACHU:" "Pika Pika!" "[Whimpers]" "misty:" "This isn't working." "Lapras is still scared of people." "Well, there's got to be something we can do... to get this Lapras to relax." "Yeah!" "[Ash humming]" "What are you gonna do, Ash?" "Pika?" "I'm gonna sing it a lullaby!" "Huh?" "Pika?" "TOGEPl:" "Togy!" "Togy!" "Singing lullabies helps little kids calm down... so maybe it'll work on Lapras, too." "misty:" "I guess it's worth a try." "PlKACHU:" "Pikachu." "Just wait and see." "Ahem !" "Lulla..." "Jiggly!" "Puff!" "Aah!" "TRACEY:" "Wow, a Jigglypuff!" "I have to sketch this!" "JlGGLYPUFF:" "Jiggly!" "Uh, Jigglypuff, it's not a duet." "[Singing] Jigg-ly-puff" "Jiggly...puff I wanna...sing..." "[Both snoring]" "JlGGLYPUFF singing:" "Jigg-ly-puff, Jiggly" "Jigg-ly-puff" "Jigg-l-y-y-puff" "Jigg-ly-puff, Jigg" "[Stops singing]" "Jiggly...puff!" "Uh, good morning." "[Pikachu yawns]" "TOGEPl:" "Togy!" "Togy!" "Waah!" "Look at my sketch!" "[Whimpering]" "Ohh." "Lapras still isn't budging." "PlKACHU:" "Pika." "We have to get that Lapras back to the ocean!" "Come on, Lapras, time to go back to the ocean!" "Come on, Lapras!" "[Lapras whines]" "Aw, Lapras..." "PlKACHU:" "Pika pi!" "misty:" "Ash!" "Come on, Lapras!" "Waah!" "Pika Pi!" "Careful!" "[Lapras whimpers]" "Aw, Lapras, can't you see we're only trying to help you?" "[Lapras whines]" "Aah!" "Oh, no!" "What's happening?" "[Both laughing]" "jessie:" "Prepare for trouble!" "JAMES:" "Ha ha!" "Make it double!" "Gaah..." "jessie:" "To protect the world from devastation!" "JAMES:" "To unite all peoples within our nation!" "jessie:" "To denounce the evils of truth and love!" "JAMES:" "To extend our reach to the stars above!" "Jessie." "James." "Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!" "JAMES:" "Surrender now or prepare to fight!" "MEOWTH:" "Meowth!" "That's right!" "[Lapras whimpers]" "MEOWTH:" "Wait till the boss gets a load of this little baby!" "Wow!" "I can't believe it!" "A Meowth that can talk human language!" "Haah!" "Aah!" "Testing, 1, 2, 3." "Meowth, can you please say something... for the Pokémon watcher archive?" "Eh, what should I say?" "Maybe you can answer a few questions." "Well, I usually don't do interviews... unless they've been cleared through my talent agent." "jessie:" "Keep it up, and you're gonna need a travel agent!" "Can't you see we're busy?" "Who are you anyway?" "Oh, sorry." "My name's Tracey." "I'm a Pokémon watcher." "OK, if you're a Pokémon watcher, then you won't mind... stepping aside and watching us steal this Lapras." "You're not gonna steal anything!" "JAMES:" "Weezing, smog attack!" "[Gleeful laughter]" "Those crooks!" "misty:" "Ash, we can't let them get away!" "We can't catch 'em on foot!" "I know a way we can track 'em." "Venonat, I choose you!" "VENONAT:" "Venonat." "Use your radar eye to track that truck!" "VENONAT:" "Venonat!" "[Beeping]" "Venonat!" "Venonat!" "Let's go!" "Right!" "The boss ain't expecting this." "Just wait till we drop this Lapras in his lap!" "[Whimpering]" "Hey, keep it down, you big baby!" "ASH:" "There they go!" "Come on!" "jessie:" "Huh?" "ASH:" "Whoa!" "That twerp!" "[Whines]" "Step on it, James, and fast!" "JAMES:" "Hang on!" "If I can just get close enough..." "[Whimpers]" "[Strains]" "ASH:" "Don't worry, Lapras, I'll save you!" "[Whines]" "Aah!" "Whoa!" "It's OK, Lapras." "We're gonna get out of this somehow." "PlKACHU:" "Pika Pika!" "[Whimpers]" "Huh?" "Huh?" "ASH:" "Stop this truck!" "Whoa!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "[Both panting]" "[Tires squealing]" "[Straining]" "PlKACHU:" "Pikachuuu!" "[Moans]" "Huh?" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Pika!" "Huh?" "Hang on, Lapras." "I think we're unhooked." "PlKACHU:" "Pikachu." "MEOWTH:" "No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "jessie:" "Aah!" "Whoa!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "[Screeching]" "ALL:" "Team Rocket's flipping out again!" "[Both sigh]" "[Straining]" "Waah!" "Pika!" "ASH:" "Whoaah!" "Pika Pika!" "[Grunting]" "Pika Pi." "Pika Pika!" "ASH:" "Huh?" "Whoaah-unggh!" "Oh, no!" "They're heading straight for a cliff!" "We gotta make it turn!" "PlKACHU:" "Pi-i-i-ik!" "Come on!" "PlKACHU:" "Pikachu!" "[Whines]" "ASH:" "Whoaah!" "PlKACHU:" "Pika!" "ASH:" "Ahh!" "We're gonna be OK!" "We'll just stick together!" "Right, Lapras?" "PlKACHU:" "Pikachu." "[Mewling]" "TRACEY:" "Ash!" "misty:" "Where are you?" "You're positive they're around here, Venonat?" "VENONAT:" "Venonat!" "Venonat!" "Venonat!" "Venonat!" "What's that?" "Venonat!" "Venonat!" "Venonat!" "misty:" "Ho ho!" "PlKACHU:" "Pika!" "ASH:" "He-e-e-ey!" "It's Ash and Pikachu!" "They made it OK!" "Lapras, too!" "Way to go!" "TOGEPl:" "Togy!" "Togy!" "Togy!" "[Ash laughs]" "You put up quite a fight, Lapras." "[Lapras purring]" "Ha ha!" "But I caught you anyway!" "Did he say "caught"?" "He likes to dream." "Huh?" "TOGEPl:" "Togepi!" "PlKACHU:" "Ahh!" "TOGEPl:" "Pi!" "NURSE JOY:" "So, Ash, it looks like Lapras has decided... it wants to go with you." "That's right, Nurse Joy." "We're gonna travel... around the Orange Islands and try to find its friends." "I'm sure you'll treat it very well." "Don't worry, we will." "And I'll be with him to help out, too." "Well, I guess we're ready to go." "Togepi!" "Ahh!" "Pika!" "Good-bye!" "Take care now!" "[Shouting good-byes]" "NARRATOR:" "And so Ash leaves with new friends and a new purpose." "Now he'll have to battle and beat the Orange Crew... to qualify for the Orange League competition." "He may lose some matches, but, please, Ash... don't lose Professor Oak's GS ball!"
