male narrator:
It's another sunny day
for our heroes on the road
to Olivine City,
but something
is about to overshadow them.
- Huh?
- Pika?
- Whoa, a blimp.
- Technically, it's a dirigible.
Hmm.
It's probably heading
for the big air station
that's just up the road a bit.
- Come on,
let's go check it out.
- Pika!
- Whoa, that's awesome.
- It's so big.
- It's must be some kind
of cargo carrier.
- No, that's the Leviathan
on its maiden voyage
circumnavigating the globe.
- It's on its maiden voyage?
- Circumnavigating?
- Yeah, you know, flying
all the way around the world.
It's meters long,
carries a crew of
and passengers.
It's got all-luxury suites,
three gourmet restaurants,
even a theater.
It's like a five-star
floating hotel.
- Cool.
- Totally.
- I can't wait to get aboard
and check it out.
- Pika.
- [singing]
Pokémon, Pokémon, Pokémon
- Let's do it.
I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
Ever was, ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
My whole life has led to this
Time to test my skills
I know I just can't miss
Gonna show the world
Born to be a winner
- Johto
- Born to be a champion
Born to be a winner
Born to be the very best
- Pokémon
- Johto
- Born to be a winner
Pokémon
- I sure would like to see
what that thing looks like
in the inside.
- Yeah.
- May I have your attention,
please?
Is there a Pokémon doctor here
in the crowd?
We have a situation on board.
- What's going on, sir?
- Two of our passengers' Pokémon
aren't feeling very well,
and they need help.
- Pokémon?
- Unfortunately, we don't have
a Pokémon Doctor on board
and the nearest Pokémon Center
is in Olivine City,
and their airport can't handle
a ship this size.
- No sweat, I'll be glad
to check out those Pokémon.
- You're a doctor?
- No, I'm a Pokémon breeder,
and I always carry a supply
of Pokémon remedies.
- Hey, a breeder,
that should do.
Come on aboard.
- Wow, from the outside,
you'd never know
it looks like this inside.
- Toge, bri!
- Huh?
Ahh!
Mmm...
- These are the passengers
whose Pokémon
have been feeling
under the weather.
- My name is Madison
and this is my sister Alexa,
and we're very glad you're here.
- Me too.
My name is Brock.
I'm a Pokémon breeder,
and I think I can help
your Pokémon recover,
and all I ask in return
is that one or both of you
become my permanent girlfriends,
is it a deal?
- Oh!
- You're the one
who needs a doctor.
- I'm afraid riding
in this blimp's
made our Pokémon
a tad airsick.
- What kind of Pokémon
are they, miss?
- Greeny and Reddy are
our adorable little Kecleon.
- Where are they?
- Oh, Greeny, Reddy,
come on out.
Someone's here
to help you feel better.
- Leo.
- Leo.
[all gasping]
- Pika!
- Toge, bri!
- Leon...
- This is my darling Reddy.
- Leo.
- And this is my sweet Greeny.
- Wow the same type of Pokémon
in two designer colors.
- Brock have you ever seen
a Kecleon before?
- Never, only in a Pokédex.
- They were both fine
until last night.
- It was extremely windy
and the blimp rolled
from side to side for hours.
- Hmm, it sounds to me
like a simple a case
of motion sickness, ladies.
But luckily,
I have the remedy.
- Leo...
- Okay, here you go.
- Leo.
- First something to settle
those restless tummies
and then Brock's vita-burger,
my tasty homemade
nutritional supplement
packed with vitamins
and minerals.
[chewing]
both: Leon!
- I heard it was big,
but I must say
I never expected anything
quite this big.
- This thing is gigantic.
I'll bet you could play
a game of soccer up here.
- How could you play soccer
here?
If a player missed a pass,
the ball would roll
right off the side.
- Well, what about baseball?
- Maybe but I'd hate
to have to chase a foul ball
up on this.
- Oh, will you stop blathering?
We have here
a once-in-a-lifetime chance
to acquire a new base
of operations.
- Yeah.
- Let's get to work.
- If things go well,
Team Rocket will finally be able
to travel the skies in style.
- This would be
a thousand times better
than that
ratty old Meowth balloon.
- It's got restaurants
and boutiques
and pulsating showerheads.
- It's like a flying hotel.
- Let's go check in the c*ck
and check it out.
- Hmm...
- [laughs]
Luckily for us,
the crew's nowhere in sight.
- What're we waiting for?
- All one of us has to do now
is get the engine started,
take to the air,
and we're home free.
all: Go right ahead.
- Oh, I don't know how
to drive a blimp, do you?
- Unfortunately,
our plan to commandeer
this luxurious aircraft
was nothing
but a lot of hot air.
[all sigh]
- All right then,
we'll have to go to our Plan B.
If we can't steal
the thing itself,
we'll just steal everything
in it.
With the prices
they charge the passengers,
should be loaded with goodies.
- Sounds good to Meowth.
- I was so looking forward
to sleeping
on a mattress tonight.
- After we steal
all the loot on board,
you can sell your share
and sleep on your wallet.
both: Leon!
- Well, Brock, my Reddy
seems healthier than ever.
- And so does Greeny.
- I'm glad to hear it.
- And we all have you to thank.
- Hey!
- Could you take them back
to my stateroom
for their afternoon nap?
- I'd be glad to, miss.
Right this way.
- Leo.
- Leon.
- I've been admiring
your Pikachu.
- And Togepi is simply darling.
- Thanks.
- We really like
your Pokémon too.
- Toge, bri!
- Hey, I have some really cool
Pokémon too, you know?
You want to see?
Come on out Pineco.
- Pineco.
- This one's pretty cute too,
don't you think?
- Pineco.
[expl*si*n]
- Uh?
- As you can see,
Pineco's got a really dynamite
personality.
- Pineco, pineco!
- Leo?
Leon.
- Hm?
- Come on, nobody's home.
- Let's see...
Hmm, nice material.
- Hey, I think
I found something here.
- Ooh, open it up.
Open it up.
- I ain't seen jewelry like this
since I watched
late-night cable TV.
- Their beauty would complement
my beauty just perfectly.
- And my bottle cap collection
would look great in that box.
- Huh?
- Leo, leon.
- Hey, what's the big idea,
buster?
- Say, what kind of Pokémon
is that?
- I don't care
what kind of Pokémon it is.
It ain't got no right
to steal stuff
that we're trying to steal.
- That's right.
We stole it first.
Now open up that trap
and give it back.
[struggling]
- I've brought you
a little snack
compliments of the--
- Ooh!
- Huh?
- Is there a problem
with the Kecleon?
- Yeah, you got to help us!
It's got a jewel box
in it's mouth
that we were trying to steal.
- Trying to steal?
- Uh...
- I don't believe
I've seen you on board before.
What's your room number?
- Ah!
- Whoa!
I'll have to call
the security officer.
- Leo.
- Huh? Huh?
Huh?
Where'd those Kecleon go?
- Totototo, dile.
- Poliwhirl.
- I've never seen
such a happy Totodile.
- And that Poliwhirl's
cuddlicious.
- If you like those Pokémon,
wait'll you see Onix!
- Use your head, Brock!
This is no place for an Onix!
- Maybe you're right.
- Miss Madison,
Miss Alexa!
I'm sorry to bother you,
but the Kecleon got loose
and one of them
has a jewelry box in its mouth,
and we can't find it.
- Is it my Reddy?
- Or my Greeny?
- I believe it was Greeny,
but I'm not positive.
There were some suspicious
characters in your room,
and I was
momentarily distracted.
- Pardon the interruption,
ladies,
but one of your Kecleon
just slipped into
this gentleman's stateroom,
grabbed his first aid kit
with its tongue,
and ran off with it somewhere.
both: I wonder
what's gotten into those two.
- Was it Greeny or Reddy
who took the first aid kit?
- We believe it was Reddy,
but we're not certain.
- I hope they're still aboard,
ladies,
because we'll be finished
refueling and stocking the ship
with provisions and ready
for takeoff in two hours.
both: In two hours?
- What can we do, Madison?
Reddy and Greeny
are absolute masters
at playing hide and seek.
- The last time
those two disappeared like this,
it took the police nearly
a week and a half to find them.
[all gasp]
- Don't worry, ladies.
We'll help you find
your Reddy and Greeny.
- We'll turn the place
inside out if we have to.
- Yeah and our Pokémon'll help
look for 'em too.
- Oh, thank you, all.
- We'd better get started.
- Pika, pika!
- Who's that Pokémon?
It's Vaporeon.
- Por!
- These uniforms
should make it easier
to find that Kecleon
and get that jewelry box back.
- I know what's gonna happen.
We'll knock ourselves out
lookin' for that Kecleon,
and when we get it,
we'll bring it to the Boss.
The Boss'll say,
"Well, that certainly is
a rare and valuable Pokémon,
but haven't you brought me
anything else?"
And that's when Kecleon'll
roll out its tongue
and sittin' on the end of it'll
be a jewelry box
jam-packed with a dazzling array
of glittering gems,
and we'll be the big heroes
for a change.
- Ooh, that kind of change
I could get used to.
- Then what are we waiting for
team?
Let's go!
- I bet you Kecleon's hiding
down here someplace.
- We'll have to look carefully
'cause Kecleon can blend
into their surroundings.
- Yeah, that's true.
- Pi?
Pika?
Pika?
Pi.
Pika.
Pika, pi.
- What's up, Pikachu?
You find something?
- Pika, pika.
- Uh?
- Leo.
- Good work, Pikachu.
You found it.
- Leo.
- Hey, hold it!
- Wait, come back!
- Greeny, stop!
- How could it get away so fast?
- Those things are slippery.
- Pika.
- Leo.
- Where could that thing
have disappeared to?
- Come out come out
wherever you are.
- Hey!
Guys, I found the Kecleon!
- Good work, Meowth.
- Excellent.
- All right, come on.
Open up that mouth of yours.
Let's go.
Open wide.
Quit stalling.
- Great now stick out
that tongue,
and let's see that jewelry box.
- Leo.
- Hey, that isn't
the jewelry box we're after.
That looks like a first aid kit.
- Maybe it swallowed the jewelry
and needs first aid.
- Wait, wasn't the one
who swiped the jewel box green?
- Leo.
- Like that one?
- Hmm?
- Huh?
There, that's the one we want,
guys, the green one.
That's the Kecleon
who's got all the jewelry.
- Huh?
- Ah!
- Get that Kecleon.
- Hey, guys,
were you just yelling?
- No, it wasn't us.
- Oh, no, it's the twerps.
Let's hide somewhere.
- This way.
It must have been
my imagination.
- That's funny,
I could've sworn
I heard somebody
calling "Kecleon."
- Yeah, me too.
- Pika.
- Well, they could be anywhere.
- If you're hiding come out!
- Why would they do that, Brock?
- Now they've got us
playing hide and seek.
- Quiet.
- There's one of 'em!
- Uh?
- Let's go!
- Pi!
- Wobbuffet!
- Not here, not now.
- Wobba!
Wobbuffet.
- Get back in your ball.
- Greeny.
Greeny, come down.
- Where's Greeny?
- Up there.
- Please do something.
- The ladder doesn't reach.
- I'll go up there
and get it
- Brock, wait!
- This is for Madison and Alexa.
I've got to do something
to win their love
or at least their pity.
- Brock, be careful up there!
- Just another inch or so.
- Leo.
- Hey, quit playing around,
will you?
Ugh.
Ah!
- Please, Brock, don't give up.
- Here goes!
Ah!
[straining]
- Leo.
- Greeny, come back!
- Leon.
- Ah!
Oh?
- Leo?
- There it is.
Grab it before it runs.
- Uh!
- Leo!
- Hey!
Hold it!
- Leo!
- Slow down!
- Leo!
[all shouting]
- Leo.
- I think it's finally given up.
- Leo.
- Uh?
[struggling]
[all shouting]
[crashing]
- Did you just hear a crash?
- Uh-huh.
- Toge.
- Leo.
- Pika!
- Guys, look!
Get it!
all: Greeny!
- Greeny!
- Reddy!
- They're still hiding from us.
- Where are you hiding?
- They're not gonna tell us
that.
- Pikachu.
- Ugh, it must be down here
somewhere.
- Leo.
- There's the Kecleon
we've been looking for.
- Leo!
- Huh?
- Green or red?
I can't remember
which one had the jewels.
- Lo!
- Leo!
- Huh?
- Now I can't tell
which one has what.
- I know.
I'm totally confused too.
- Watch me.
- Hmm?
- Here.
I'll take a bottle cap
and place it
in the palm of my hand.
There, do you think
you can tell me
which hand the bottle cap
is in now?
It's difficult to tell,
isn't it?
- How does that help us
find the jewel box, James?
- I don't know.
It's just a trick
my grandpa showed me.
- We won't get to be heroes
this way.
- Leo.
- They're getting away!
- Huh?
all: Wait, Kecleon!
- Hey, it sounds like
somebody spotted 'em!
- There they are!
[all shout]
- Great, look who we ran into.
- Prepare for trouble.
We're taking those Kecleon
to our boss.
- And our Pokémon gain
is your loss.
- 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.
- Jessie.
- James.
- We're Team Rocket blasting off
at the speed of light.
- Surrender now or prepare
to fight, fight, fight, fight.
- Meowth, that's right.
- We should've known it.
- The suspicious characters
we heard about
must have been them.
- Well, no one's ever accused us
of having any kind of character.
Weezing, I choose you.
Use your SmokeScreen!
- Weezing.
Weez.
Weez!
[coughing]
- Noctowl, I choose you!
Ah!
- [chirruping]
- Quick, Noctowl,
blow that SmokeScreen away!
- [chirruping]
- They're gone again.
- Ash, if we don't find
those Kecleon
before Team Rocket does,
they'll disappear for good.
- Let's split up
and search the ship.
I have to find 'em
for those two cute sisters.
If I do,
they'll be so grateful.
- What would we ever have done
without you?
- You're our hero.
- [moaning]
Oh, how embarrassing.
Uh?
Ah!
It's you!
Come back here!
Ash, Misty,
I found the Kecleon.
They're headed
for the front door.
- Huh?
- Let's go get 'em.
- Leo?
- Leon?
- Don't bother trying
to run away.
We've got you surrounded
this time.
- All right.
- They fell right into the trap.
- Leo.
- Leon.
- We won't scold you.
- We're not angry.
Just open your mouths
and give us those boxes.
- Hold it right there!
- Huh?
- Leo?
- Huh?
- We want those Kecleon,
so hand them over peacefully
and maybe
there won't be any trouble.
- Those are the three
I found in your stateroom
trying to steal
your jewelry box.
- Greeny and Reddy must have
been trying to protect
the jewelry box from
those thieves all this time.
- That's why
they've been running and hiding.
- Save the story
for the society page, sister.
The bottom line is,
those two Kecleon
belong to us now and the jewelry
in that box belongs to me.
- You're not taking anything
without a fight!
- Yeah, and you'll wind up
with exactly what you deserve.
- We deserve everything
we're going to get
and so do you twerps.
Go, Arbok!
- Charboka!
- Bayleef, I choose you!
- Bay!
- Bayleef,
grab it with your Vine Whip!
- Bay!
- Char!
- Arbok, Headbutt!
- Charbok!
- Bay!
- Poli.
- Poliwhirl, Headbutt!
- Poliwhirl!
- Char!
- I think it's time
we joined this battle.
- Right.
- Go get those losers, Greeny!
- Go get those losers, Reddy!
- Leon!
- Leo!
- All right,
Victreebel,
come out and do your thing!
- [screeches]
- Do it on them,
not me!
Use Razor Leaf!
Razor Leaf!
- Knock 'em back, Reddy!
- Knock 'em back, Greeny!
- Leo, leo!
- Leon!
- Arbok, use your Wrap attack!
- Char!
- Stop it with your Lick attack,
Reddy!
- Leo!
Ahh!
- Char?
Charbok!
- Hey, that's the jewelry box!
Ah!
- Poliwhirl,
use your DoubleSlap!
- Poli, poli, poli,
poli, poli, poli!
- Victreebel, go!
- [screeches]
- Greeny, use your Lick attack!
- Leo!
Leo!
- [screeching]
- Yes!
- Reddy!
- Greeny!
both: Psybeam attack!
- Leo!
Leon!
[all shouting]
- All right, Bayleef,
send 'em out
on the Vine Whip Express!
- Bayleef!
[all shouting]
Bay!
Bay, bay, bay,
leef!
all: Team Rocket's
blasting off again!
- [singing]
Pokémon Johto
Pokémon Johto
- I'm very sorry
that our Pokémon
caused you so much trouble.
- Think nothing of it, my dear.
They guarded this kit
like a treasure
and all it contains is a pair
of heavy-duty toenail clippers.
- You're very kind.
- We're lucky
the gentleman's so forgiving.
- What do you say?
- Leo.
- Leon.
Leon!
- We weren't meant to be.
- Bon voyage.
- [crying]
- Toge?
- Pika, pika!
- It's kind of good to know
that there are still
so many Pokémon
we haven't seen yet, isn't it?
- Yeah.
- It must be nice traveling
around the world
in luxury like that.
It's a lot different
from the way we do it.
- Flying's okay, I guess,
but I like to travel by foot
'cause that way
you get to see people
and Pokémon and places
up close.
- I think you're right, Brock,
and besides,
you can't get airsick
when your feet
are on the ground.
- That's true.
- Toge, bri!
narrator: And so
our heroes' journey continues
with their feet on the ground,
but their spirits flying high.
- Let's do it.
