Narrator: Last time,
ash finally got to battle

in the pokémon
league competition.

In his first match
on the water field,

ash put all his hopes on krabby.

And after putting
the pinch on exeggutor,

krabby evolved into kingler.

Kingler sank seadra...

And beamed golbat.

With new fans on their side,

ash and kingler
were unstoppable,

and together they won
a thrilling upset victory.

[Cheering]

Announcer: Now
the second battle

here on the rock field
is about to begin.

Each of the trainers
has just one pokémon left.

The outcome of this match
could very well be decided

by which pokémon these
young trainers select.

Who will make
the winning decision?

Go!

Announcer: And the red
trainer chooses a nidorino.

Now let's see what pokémon

the popular newcomer
ash Ketchum chooses

to face the powerful nidorino.

Chuuu!

I choose you, Squirtle!

Squirtle, Squirtle.

Announcer: The young trainer
from palett chooses Squirtle!

Ketchum must be hoping
that nidorino's mighty horn

is no match for Squirtle's
super-hard shell.

I'm counting on you!

Give it everything
you've got, Squirtle.

Squirtle, Squirtle.

It's a tackle attack!

Get ready...

Announcer:
Nidorino's leading off

with a tackle attack.

All right, Squirtle,
withdraw and roll!

Squirtle, Squirtle,
squiiiiirtle.

Good, Squirtle, keep rolling!

OK, Squirtle, water g*n attack!

Squirtle!

Squirtle,
skull bash attack, now!

Squirtle!

Announcer: Squirtle's skull
bash was right on target

and nidorino is shaken!

Nidorino is out
of the competition.

The battle and the match go to
the green trainer, ash Ketchum.

Yeah!

Squirtle!
Chuu!

Yeah!
Yay!

Announcer:
And a very happy ash Ketchum

will now move on
to the third round

of this pokémon league
competition.

Just look at him.

He wins easy matches,

and he's acting like he
won the whole competition.

He better enjoy
all his celebrating now.

'Cause when his luck runs out,

ash Ketchum won't have
anything to cheer about.

Unless he wants to
cheer for me, right, girls?

Girls: Gary, Gary,
yeah, yeah, yeah!

Oh, what a cruel twist of fate.

Thousands are inside
all rooting for ash

while team rocket is outside

rooting through trash.

Let's come up with some plans

and get out of these cans!

Say...

There's a way we can
swipe Pikachu that I know.

All: So let's all
get to work

and get on with the show!

Hey, where did ash go?

He was hungry, so he went
to get something to eat.

What?!

You mean he ran out to eat

and didn't even take his
pokémon to the pokémon center

to have them treated?

He said he was really starving.

But these pokémon are
gonna get all worn out!

Well, that's typical ash.

Aww, are you hungry,
too, togepi?

Squirtle.

Oh, I gotta get
something to eat.

You must be as hungry
as I am, Pikachu.

Pika.

Brock and misty are OK,

'cause they were just watching,

but being in those battles

really works up an appetite.

Just hang in there till
we find that restaurant

I saw this morning.

Pikachu.

I could have sworn it was here.

I guess we'll have to find
some Place else to eat, Pikachu.

Pikachu.

♪ On the Road
to Viridian City ♪

Wow, they have lots
of cool events

going on during
the pokémon league.

Brock:
Hey, ash!

Ah, we finally found you!

We've been looking everywhere.

We got kind of lost.

What are you doing here?

Did you forget
all about your pokémon?!

Or is your stomach more
important than they are?

I was just getting
something to eat!

Stuff your selfish little face

after we drop your pokémon
at the pokémon center.

My face is little?

I have your Pokéballs
right here, ash.

That's great.
Thanks, guys.

Let's get them to the
pokémon center right away.

Pika!

I wonder what pokémon you
should use in the third round.

They told me my next match

is gonna be in the ice field,

so I think the other trainer

will probably be using
some ice-type pokémon.

Guess that means
I should probably stick

with Squirtle and kingler.

Man: This
is ridiculous!

[Crowd murmuring]

What's going on?

Pika, pika.

Wonder why it's so crowded.

It wouldn't have been
if we'd gotten here sooner.

May I have
your attention, please?

Due to the pokémon
league competition,

this center is now
completely full.

If your pokémon
need emergency care,

please take them to the
nearest pokémon center.

Ahhh, that's the
pewter City nurse joy.

The joys all look
exactly the same to me.

How can you tell one
from the other, Brock?

What your eyes don't see

is very clear to me.

Brock is a poet.

I didn't know it.

Yes!
All you can eat!

Pika, pika!

Come on, let's
chow down, Pikachu!

Ash, your pokémon!

Pikachu and I didn't have
anything to eat all day.

And what if I collapsed

before we found
another pokémon center?

How do you think my pokémon
would feel about that?

Huh?

Toge, toge, pi!

[Laughing]
Oh, yeah!

Pika!

Uhh...

I have no money!

Would you like a plate?

Yeah, but only if
it's a collection plate.

[Laughing]

Here, take this.

You mean, eat free?

Sure!

[Laughing]
This is great!

She must have seen
me win the match today

and wants me to
have dinner for free!

Thanks a lot! I owe
it all to fans like you.

OK!

I'll just have some
of this, mmmm,

and a little bit of this.

Hmmm...

Hmmm...

Mmm, mmm, mmm!

Careful, ash.

All that food
can make your belly

as big as your head.

Thanks, mist.

But I can't help it!

I got all this food for free!

That's 'cause she happens
to be a big fan of mine.

Ash, everybody
in the pokémon league

gets to eat here for free.

What?!
Really?

I know you've won twice,
and that's great,

but you can't let that
make you crazy.

I can't?
How come?

Oh, I give up.

Pika! Pika!

Pikachu!

Pika...

Chu.

Hey, what are you
doing there, Pikachu?

Practicing to be in the circus?

Togepi, don't you try anything
dangerous like that, OK?

Toge, toge!

Pikachu...

Hey, wasn't Brock with you?

Huh?

Who's that...

Brock said he'd be waiting here.

Hey, Brock!

[Crying]

Look at all the Jennys.

And all the joys, too.

Ahhh, it doesn't get
any better than this.

Nurse joys and Officer
Jennys everywhere!

Ahh, you're the joy
from saffron City, ahh.

Ahh, and you're the joy
from celadon City.

Ahh, ohh, remember me?

Brock's going crazy!

At least I'm not the
only one going crazy.

Oh.

Wha...?

There's even more people

waiting to get into
this pokémon center!

Well, it's your fault, ash.

You should have gone
right after your match.

Now we'll just have
to stand in line and wait.

Yeah, but...

Uhh...

Hey, look.

Huh? Look
at what?

James, disguising voice: I know where
there's another pokémon center

that isn't crowded at all.

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
It's great!

It's even got its
very own nurse joy.

Nurse joyyyyy.

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Hey, Brock, where
did you come from?

I'd come from anywhere, ash,

to see a nurse joy.

Now he's driving me crazy!

Here we are.

Misty: This doesn't look like
the other pokémon centers.

Looks can be deceiving, I guess.

Pika, pika.

Hee hee hee. This is
just a temporary center

that we use only during
pokémon league competition.

Now, won't you come inside?

Yes, thank you.

Well, at least it isn't crowded.

This Place doesn't seem right.

Brock: Well, it must
be a pokémon center,

'cause it's got a very
beautiful nurse joy.

Yeah, that's right, Brock.

Well, now, why don't you

check in your Pikachu?

Oh, thank you, Miss.

And these all need
treatment, too, please.

Brock: Hmmm,
that's really weird.

What's really weird, Brock?

Usually, when I see a nurse joy,

I'm dizzy and
I act kind of crazy

and I start talking
in a really goofy way.

So what?

That sounds like ash
all the time.

Maybe I'm just experiencing

a temporary nurse joy overload.

Ash: Brock, I think
it's probably

just because you
weren't prepared for them.

Misty: That must
be the trouble, Brock.

You weren't prepared
to see them.

That's the trouble.

We say something wrong?

Jessy: Prepare
for trouble...

James:
Make it double.

All: Huh?

To protect the world
from devastation...

To unite all peoples
within our nation...

To denounce the evils
of truth and love...

To extend our reach
to the stars above.

Jessy!

James!

Team rocket blast off
at the speed of light!

Surrender now,
or prepare to fight.

Meowth!
That's right!

See, ash?

My internal nurse
joy detection system

is always % accurate.

Wow, that's awesome, Brock.

What are you two
wasting time for?!

Go get all your pokémon back!

Oh, right.
Oh, right.

Time to say buh-bye!

Ha ha ha!

[Gasping]

[Jessy snickering]

We'd love to stay

and see the rest
of the big competition,

but we've simply got to fly.

Be we really
enjoyed our vacation.

So we're bringing home

this cute little
Pikachu-in-a-bottle as a souvenir.

Ash:
Pikachu!

Team rocket finally
captured Pikachu!

For them, this is like
a nightmare come true.

It's so terrible,
it's wonderful!

Go, Onix!

[Roaring]

Great! Now bring 'em
back down.

Nice work! Now take 'em back up!

Pikachu!

Onix, time to say bye-bye!

We're defeated again, jessy.

We're defeated
and deflated, James.

[Roaring]

Jessy/james: Looks like team
rocket's blasting off again!

Pika...

Pika!

[Laughing] You're back, Pikachu!

Hey, Brock, that
was great. Thank you.

We'd better find
a real pokémon center.

Come on, let's go.

Nurse joy on P.A.: May I have
your attention, please.

Area pokémon centers are now
accepting new pokémon.

I repeat, area pokémon centers

are now accepting new pokémon.

OK, let's get 'em there

as fast as we can!

Announcer: Now we're waiting
for this third-round match

between palett town's
ash Ketchum

and pewter City's Pete
pebbleman to continue.

Both of them have already
won one battle apiece,

and even though
we're on the ice field,

this match is really heating up.

Cloyster.

Kingler, crabhammer attack!

Cloyster, use withdraw now!

Announcer: And it looks like
kingler's crabhammer attack

is completely ineffective

against cloyster's
rock-hard shell.

Oh, no!

If kingler gets worn out,

I'll have to switch pokémon!

Wait, ash!

Cloyster should be
losing hit points, too.

That's right! Just let
kingler hang in there!

OK.

Just keep hammering
away, kingler!

Oh, no!

Cloyster is out of the match!

Victory to kingler.

Cloyster, return.

Announcer: Ketchum's kingler's
crushing crabhammer

cracked the clammed-up cloyster!

Now, with just one pokémon left,

will pebbleman choose
an ice-type or a water-type?

Go, arcanine!

Announcer:
And a big surprise!

Pebbleman's chosen arcanine,
a fire pokémon!

All right!

Kingler's a water pokémon.

This should be easy!

Kingler, bubble!

Arcanine, good job!

Now show 'em
your dragon rage attack!

Arroooo!

Are you OK, kingler?
Try to get up!

Dragon rage attack!

I never expected that!

Do something quick, ash!

Call kingler back
and use another pokémon!

OK...
Kingler, return!

Pikachu, it's all up to you now.

Pikachu.

Pika!

All right now,

let's confuse arcanine

with your agility, Pikachu!

Announcer: A very
impressive slide show

as Pikachu-on-ice performs
some very cool moves!

Arcanine!
Fire blast!

[Laughing] We're too
fast for a fire blast.

Maybe so, but it's too bad

your only chance of
winning just melted away.

I don't get it.

What is arcanine doing?

It's trying to stop Pikachu

by using fire blasts

to melt the whole ice field.

Announcer:
This is unbelievable!

The whole field has melted down

into little icebergs!

Oh, no!

Pika, pi!

Announcer: With nowhere
to go, Pikachu is trapped.

It can't use its agility!

Arcanine, just one more
fire blast!

Quick, ash, you
better have Pikachu

take a dive!

You mean, just quit?

No, I mean, dive
under the water.

Pikachu, dive in!

All right, now you
shouldn't have any problem.

Uhh... ash, you didn't forget

that water conducts
electricity, did you?

I didn't forget it.

I just didn't
remember right away.

Well, what are you
waiting for? Hurry!

Pikachu, thunderbolt
attack, now!

Pi-ka...

Chuuuu!

Arcy!

[Whimpering]

Arcanine has been eliminated!

The victory goes
to trainer ash Ketchum!

[Cheering]

We did it!

We just won
our third-round match!

Hey!
All right!

Pika pi!
[Laughing]

Narrator: So, thanks to some great
coaching from Brock and misty,

and a little high-voltage
help from Pikachu,

ash wins once again!

He's getting better and better.

Will he be able
to beat the best?

We'll have to wait and see!

Ash: Don't go away!

Pikachu's jukebox is next!
