Narrator: With only weeks left to
the pokémon league competition,

ash is behind in his training.

But he's working hard
to catch up...

Uh, I think!

I choose you, hitmonchan!

Chan!

Ohh! There's Bruno's hitmonchan!

Bruno's a hard-core
fighting-type trainer.

Pika!

Hitmonchan,
thunder punch attack!

Huh?
Huh?

Couch potatoes.

Hey, turn it back on!

This is no time
for you to be watching TV.

Aren't you ever gonna
stop goofing off

and start training, ash?

That's just what I was doing.

Huh?

That was a video of Bruno,

who happens to be one of
the elite pokémon trainers.

And the reason
we were watching him

is so that we could try to learn

the real secrets of pokémon!

Mm-hmm. We were
learning the secrets.

What were those secrets
again, Brock?

[Groans]
Pikachu!

Well, those secrets
must be really secret.

Togi togi.

The elite must have discovered

some secret of pokémon.

That's what makes them
such powerful trainers.

And that's why I want
Bruno to teach me the secret

so I can be
a great trainer like him!

[Sarcastic]
I'm sure that'll happen.

Huh?

Bruno's a superstar.

He wouldn't waste
his time on us.

Pika.

Ohh. If we knew
how to find him,

I bet he'd train me.

Mommy knows how!

[All sigh]

There's a rumor going around

that Bruno's
secret training spot

is someplace on Mount hideaway.

Mom, don't make dinner

'cause we're going
to Mount hideaway!

Huh.

Hey, guys,

looks like Mount hideaway's
only or miles from here.

Oh, oh...
Hurry up!

Let's get going!

Maybe you're tired.

We could stop and rest
for a while if you want to.

I wouldn't mind that.

All right.

Let's find someplace

for me to take a rest.

Ohhh. I'm tired
and hungry.

I'm exhausted and starving.

Well, I'm fine and dandy.

Well, here we are.

Ma'am, have you heard anything

about a pokémon
trainer named Bruno

training somewhere
on this mountain?

Trainer?
Yes.

Could be.

I hear tell of a trio
of wandering wastrels

cavorting with pokémon
in these parts,

and they could be the varmints

who keep stealing
my muskrat meatballs!

Whoa!

Those rascals!
I can't figure...

Mmm...
Huh?

These are pretty tasty!

Just the right amount
of muskrat.

Togepi!

How hungry do you have to be

to eat muskrat meatballs?

[Clattering]
All: Huh?

There they are.
It's them again.

Ahh.
Hey, look!

Hmm.

Come on back here,
you poaching polecats!

I'll teach you
to mooch my vittles!

Those aren't polecats!

Ooh.
Ooh.

Ooooh.
Ooooh.

Prepare for trouble,
whippersnapper!

And make it double,
young feller!

I think we can fast
forward through this!

[Speeded-up voice] To protect
the world from devastation.

[Also speeded-up] 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!

OK.

[Normal speed]
Meowth, that's right!

Ahh.
Exhausting.

I think I bit my tongue.

Those lame disguises
don't fool us!

What kind of trouble

are you three up to this time?

Sorry to disappoint you.

We're just trying
to get back to the basics.

Since we always seem
to lose to you twerps,

we decided to seek
poké-enlightenment

by living as poor
hermits on this mountain.

Yes, we didn't even
bring any money for food.

True. We're living off the
land as nature intended.

Yeah, the land and this
old lady's meat-kabobs.

I'll teach you,
you mangy mooches!

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Whoa-oh-oh-oh!

Let's beat it!

Fast!

Togepi!

Pikachu.

You really showed them!

Heh heh heh.

I reckon you young'uns

are heading
up the mountain, are you?

Yes!

Then I reckon you'll run into

some of the giant Onix
up yonder.

There are giant Onix?

Yep. Ground's so good for
growing around these parts,

Onix jump up like fiddleheads.

Yep. We're famous here
for our overgrowed Onix!

Huh. Fertile soil
makes them grow larger.

They must be scary.

Don't worry none, missy.

Those Onix may be overgrowed,

but they're as gentle as can be.

[All sigh]

We've walked for hours,

and we haven't seen one sign
of Bruno or one giant Onix.

Hey, look.

What is it?

See down there?

It looks like there's
some kind of Road.

Brock: This is no Road.

I'd say this is
some kind of track

left by something really big.

[Rumbling]

Aah! Aah! Aah!

What's that sound?

Something's coming!

[Roar]

Well, there's your giant Onix!

Pika!

It's coming this way!

Run for it!
Before we get crushed!

[Roar]

I'd love to study what makes
the Onix grow so big up here.

Maybe you can, if we survive!

[Roar]

It's gaining on us!

Ohh! We're
history! Aah!

Man: Over here!

[Roar]

Wow.
That was close.

Are you all OK?

Mm-hmm.

Yes, thanks to you.

Ah!
Ohh!

What's up with you two?

Uhhh...
It's really him!

Uhh...
Uhh...

Is there a reason
you're following me?

Uh... well,
you see, uh...

Please help him.

You see, our friend's training

for the pokémon
league competition.

He does things without thinking,

and sometimes he's
not too smart,

but he's serious about pokémon,

and he could really
use your help, sir.

Ash, ask him for
his help, will you?

Uh, uh...

Please help me.

Uh, come on!
Do it right!

Please, I really need your help!

Togepi!

Please, Master Bruno,

please help ash!

I'll do anything.

Are you willing to do
everything I tell you to do?

Uh...
Uh...

Are we?

Uh-huh.

Together: Yes, sir!

Ash:
Everything!

Uhh... mmm.

Uhh.

So, what does
hauling water buckets

have to do
with pokémon training?

It has a lot to do with it!

Unh. Carrying these buckets
of water is a perfect way

to build
our physical strength up!

And Bruno says
that it's also great

for developing inner
balance and outer equilibrium.

Ohhh!

[Splash]

Ohh. Ohh. Ohh.

Guess I need to work on
the equi-whatchamacallit.

Next we'll split some Wood.

What is the meaning

of splitting Wood?

Hmm. Splitting Wood
builds a firm grip,

and that is a firm
foundation for any trainer.

Well, this ought to be useful.

Ash needs to learn
how to get a grip.

Uhhh.

Be one with the Wood.

Aaaaah!

Waaaah!

Uhhh...

Uh, I guess your
head got in the way.

Next, you must carry
these stones up this hill.

OK.

What lesson will this
teach us, Master Bruno?

If you can control
physical nature,

you can control your own
inner nature as well.

Uhhh...

I think I got it.

Aaahhh!

Help, help, help, help!

Help, help, help, help!

Peel the bark off this twig.

OK.

What's this for?

Hmm.
Something important.

Must be some kind of lesson.

It's as clean as a
whistle, Master Bruno!

What lesson does it teach us?

It teaches an important lesson

you must always remember.

If you're ever going
to go camping, bring a fork!

[All groan]

Mmm... mmm...

Thanks a lot, kid.

Bruno's Stew tastes
better with chopsticks.

That doesn't seem like
such an important lesson.

A lot of his lessons

seem pretty phony to me.

I don't think he knows
any pokémon secrets.

I can't believe
you two are doubting

how great Master Bruno is!

He's so perfectly trained

that he'll sense my attack
and react like lightning.

Master! Show them
your lightning speed!

Uhhh...
Ahh...

Hey. That hurt.

Uhh...

Huh? Master?

You want to learn
the secret of pokémon?

Yes, sir!
Yes, sir!

More than anything in the world!

[Sigh]

There is no secret.

Huh?
Pika?

You mean you didn't
come to Mount hideaway

so you could keep the
pokémon secret secret?

The only reason
I came up to this mountain

was to try to catch
the biggest and baddest

of all the giant Onix
that live up here.

It's no secret that you've
got to capture strong pokémon

to become a strong pokémon
trainer like me!

Aaah! Aah! Pika!

Aah! My image of Master
Bruno has just been shattered!

[Sobbing]

Did you just hear
what I just heard?

All we have to do is catch the
biggest giant Onix we can find,

and we'll be as strong
as the elite trainers!

And we won't even have
to do any pokémon training!

[Laughing]

Who's that pokémon?

It's...

Alakazam!

Jessy: This track
was made by that Onix?

Meowth: Yeah. It
must be humongous.

The only way we could capture
that thing is by total surprise.

Don't you worry.

We've got
something "Onix-pected."

[Laughing]

That joke
is "Onix-ceptable."

And now all we've
got to do is wait

for that rocky reptile
to show its petrified puss!

[Rumbling]

Stone cold!

Rock and roll!

[Roar]

Aaah! Aaah! Aaah!

[Roar]

Let's forget it!

We came here to bag an Onix,

and that's
what we're going to do.

Uhhhh...

Oh, well.

I guess Bruno didn't really

have any big secret
of pokémon after all.

Pika.

Maybe that's just what
he tells all the trainers

who want to find out
what the secret is.

Don't bet on it.

[Boom]

Huh?
What was that?

Sounds like trouble!

Let's go!

[Roar]

We hit it!

I've been sh**ting skeets

since I was a tot.

Good aims, James!

[Roar]

All: Aaaah!

Aaaah!

Meowth: Head
for that cave!

Don't you know ladies go first?

Etiquette schmetiquette!

Every Meowth for itself!

[Roar]

[All screaming]

[Roar]

[Screaming]

Those voices!

It's team rocket!

We gotta help 'em!

Pika.

It's Onix vs. Onix!

[Roar]

Rock pokémon are weak
against water pokémon!

Staryu, go!

Hyah!

She's right.

And water pokémon
are better than one!

Squirtle,

I choose you!

Squirtle, Squirtle!

Onix!
Tackle attack!

[Roar]

It's no use, that
Onix is way too big!

Help us, please!

Get us out of here!

Waaah-ah-hah!

Staryu, try to weaken that Onix

with your water g*n
attack and hurry!

Hyah!

Staryu can't do it all alone.

Maybe if your Squirtle helps?

Right!

OK, Squirtle, water g*n!

Squirtle!

Hyah!

I think it's working!

Squirtle and Staryu
are a great team!

[Roar]

Jessy, James, now's
our chance to run for it!

Hey? Huh? Hey?

We're way ahead of you, Meowth!

Huh?

Hold it!

Where are you going?
Wait for Meowth!

Squirtle!

All: Waaah!

I guess that's...

The end of...

Our tale!

Together: Looks like team
rocket's blasting off again!

[Roar]

I've seen a lot of Onix before,

but I've never seen one

nearly as big
and powerful as this one.

[Roar]

Ahh! Aah! Aah!

[Roar]

Aaaahhh!

Ash! Ash! Pika!

Pika-pi!

Aaah! Ooh!

[Roar]

Huh!

[Roar]

Aaaah!

Pika!

Pikachu!
It's no use!

Pik-a-chuuuuu!

Pikachu, electric
attacks don't work

against rock pokémon.

Pika!

Oh, Pikachu,
watch out! Ohh!

[Roar]

Aaah...

[Roar]

Are you OK?

Huh?

You saved us!

Pika!

Look, they're all right!

Master Bruno!

Recall your pokémon.

I'll handle this one myself.

Whatever you say.

Ash: Squirtle, return!

Missy: Return, Staryu!

Brock: Onix, return!

[Roar]

Master, are you gonna use

one of your fighting
pokémon now?

And what kind of attack
are you gonna use?

Are you gonna
show us your secret?

I will use no pokémon.

Together: Huh?

[Roar]

Hmmm...

Hyah!

Onix!

[Growls]

Why are you acting this way?

[Roar]

Look out! Look out! Look out!

Why are you attacking me?

[Roar]

Uhh!

Hah!

[Roar]

Ohh! This looks bad!

Pika!

I don't know why
he's not using his pokémon!

[Roar]

Huh? Huh? Aah!

[Growls]

Watch out, Master Bruno!

Please be careful!

Pika!

Aah!
Look at that Onix!

Onix, there's no
reason to fear me.

Onnnn...

Now, please, let me know
what you are feeling.

[Groaning]

Onnn...

Ah.

What's this?

[Roar]

Onix, this will only
hurt for a moment.

[Groaning]

Unhhhh...

Together: Huh?

Slash, slash, slash.

So you're what was
troubling Onix all this time.

Ohh!
Pika?

What is that?

Dexter: Sandslash,
the mouse pokémon.

The evolved form of sandshrew,

it attacks opponents
with the quills on its back.

Hee hee hee hee hee.

Slash, slash!

You should be fine now, Onix.

[Gentle roar]

Ha!

What do you think, Onix?

You want to come along with me?

[Agreeing roar]

Mmm.

Pokéball, go!

You're mine, Onix.

Master Bruno!

Somehow you could feel

that that sandslash
was hurting Onix.

Please tell us what
your pokémon secret is.

I already told you, Brock.

There are no secrets.

Please tell us, Master Bruno.

We can keep a secret.

I'll only tell you the secret

if you don't keep it.

Huh?
Pika?

If there really is a secret
to pokémon, it's only this...

Humans and pokémon
must live and work

and share this world together...

And they must care
for each other,

just like you and Pikachu.

Huh?
Pi?

Hmm.

[Both laugh]

Hmm.

I look forward to the day

when we face each other
in battle, ash.

So do I!

Be well!

He was the real deal after all.

And he knew the secret
all along.

Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!

Pika!

Ha ha ha ha!

Narrator: And so ash and his
friends learn a very special secret

from a very special trainer,

as the pokémon league
competition moves one day closer!

[Nervous laughter]

I think things are looking

sort of rocky, don't you?

These pokémon
couldn't be bolder!

Maybe people take 'em
for granite!

ash: Don't go away!

Pikachu's jukebox is next!
