- Really?Copy !req
37. - To Cerulean City.
- Ah. Unh!Copy !req

40. Yeah, makes sense to me.Copy !req
41. Ah, I never wanted to wander back here.
Oh.Copy !req
42. - The coast is clear.
- Nothing to fear.Copy !req
43. Nobody here. Meowth.Copy !req

49. - Misty's not following us anymore.
- Chu.Copy !req
50. She really didn't want to come
to Cerulean City, did she?Copy !req
51. I wonder why she hates
this place so much.Copy !req
52. - Hmm.
- Ah, we'll never figure out girls.Copy !req
53. - The police. Wonder what happened.
- Yeah.Copy !req
54. Excuse me.
Do you know what happened here?Copy !req
55. Some burglars broke
into that store last night.Copy !req
56. Burglars, huh?Copy !req
57. What do you know about burglars?
- Huh?Copy !req
58. You two look very suspicious
to me.Copy !req
59. Hey, you're that motorcycle officer
from Viridian.Copy !req
60. Huh? Ah, you must have met
my sister-in-law.Copy !req
61. If you know my sister-in-law,Copy !req
62. that means you probably had some
dealings with the police in Viridian.Copy !req
63. Well, I...Copy !req
64. Now, maybe you just stopped
to ask her for directions,Copy !req
65. or maybe you found a wallet
on the street and turned it in to her,Copy !req
66. or maybe you're a burglar
who broke out of jail!Copy !req
67. - I've never been to jail!
- Neither have I, ma'am.Copy !req
68. That's what they all say.Copy !req
69. We just got into town
and saw the crowdCopy !req
70. so we came over to see
what was going on.Copy !req
71. The criminal always returns
to the scene of the crime.Copy !req
72. - We're not, uh...
- Maybe this'll help clear things up.Copy !req
73. I'm Dexter, A Pokédex
program by professor OakCopy !req
74. for Pokémon trainer Ash Ketchum.Copy !req
75. Yeah and I was the Leader
of the Pewter City Gym.Copy !req
76. - Well, that's evidence enough for me.
- I'm sorry I was suspicious.Copy !req
77. Now I'm suspicious of my sister-in-law.
She sure has weird taste in friends.Copy !req
78. Um, miss?
- Hm?Copy !req
79. I was wondering,
since I'm new in town,Copy !req
80. maybe we could get together tonight
and you could show me around.Copy !req
81. Well, I'm not off duty
till past your bedtimeCopy !req
82. and I may even have to work
round the clock to catch these burglars.Copy !req
83. - Well, what exactly did they steal?
- That's the strange thing about it.Copy !req
84. They didn't take any money,
just a massive vacuum and a giant hose.Copy !req
85. But what would anybody
want that stuff for?Copy !req
86. I'm sure I don't know, young man,Copy !req
87. but I do know I don't have time
to play guessing games with youCopy !req
88. because I've got a job to do,
and it's time for you two to move along.Copy !req
89. Come on, let's go.Copy !req
90. All right, everybody.
The show's over.Copy !req
91. Nothing to see here.
Break it up. Break it up.Copy !req
92. Good thing I had Dexter
and you had your badge.Copy !req
93. Yeah. Shouldn't you head
for Cerulean City Gym?Copy !req
94. Yeah. Hey, Brock.Copy !req
95. You got any inside info
on the Gym Trainer there?Copy !req
96. - Huh?
- Ha-ha.Copy !req
97. I just want to find out
as much as I can about himCopy !req
98. before we have our match.Copy !req
99. Know yourself, know your adversary
and you hold the key to victory.Copy !req
100. You sure know
some pretty deep stuff.Copy !req
101. Heh, I learned that one from Dexter.Copy !req
102. Well, I never actually met
the trainer here but I knowCopy !req
103. his Pokémon special move.Copy !req
104. Yeah? What is it?Copy !req
105. I'm sorry, Ash, but I can't
give you that information.Copy !req
106. - Why not?
- I'm a Gym Leader, too, after all.Copy !req
107. I can't tell you out of respect.Copy !req
108. - You understand.
- That's cool.Copy !req
109. Well, I have some stuff
I need to check out.Copy !req
110. - What stuff?

114. Huh? There it is.Copy !req
115. Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome the star of our show,Copy !req
116. the sensational Cerulean City
synchronized swimming sisters!Copy !req
117. Lily! Violet! Daisy!Copy !req
118. But I thought this was
the Pokémon Gym, Pikachu.Copy !req
119. Pika.Copy !req
120. I can't understand it.Copy !req
121. Huh? It's like an aquarium.
How can this be a Pokémon Gym?Copy !req
122. The crowd was totally awesome.
I know. That was so great.Copy !req
123. - Daisy, the dive you did was super.
- The practice really paid off.Copy !req
124. Totally.Copy !req
125. Uh, excuse me.
- I'm sorryCopy !req
126. but if you want an interview,
you have to, like, call our manager.Copy !req
127. - No, it's not that.
- We don't do autographs.Copy !req
128. I don't want one.Copy !req
129. I really just wanted to know
if this is a Pokémon Gym.Copy !req
130. It sure is.Copy !req
131. - Well, I'm looking for the Gym Trainer.
You're looking at them.Copy !req
132. Huh?Copy !req
133. The three of us
are the Gym Trainers here.Copy !req
134. - We're The Sensational Sisters.
- We're world famous.Copy !req
135. Huh? But what's with
all that swimming?Copy !req
136. It's, like, our hobby,
and our fans love to watch us perform.Copy !req
137. We pool our talents
to make a big splash.Copy !req
138. Come on.Copy !req
139. - I challenge all of you.
- Pika.Copy !req
140. - Um.
- What?Copy !req
141. We don't feel much like
battling anymore.Copy !req
142. - What do you mean?
- We just got beaten three times in a rowCopy !req
143. by kids from this nowhere place
called Pallet Town.Copy !req
144. - Not again.
- It was just one defeat after another.Copy !req
145. My eyes were spinning from all the losses.Copy !req
146. We had to, like,
practically rush all our PokémonCopy !req
147. - to the Pokémon center.
- This is the only one left.Copy !req
148. Goldeen. Goldeen. Goldeen.Copy !req
149. You mean all you have
is a Goldeen?Copy !req
150. If it would evolve into Seaking,
we could use it.Copy !req
151. But all it can do now
is its horn attack.Copy !req
152. So, like, there's no point in battling.Copy !req
153. Now, Instead of having matchesCopy !req
154. we have time to make ourselves
look more beautiful than ever.Copy !req
155. - Ah.
- I know what you want.Copy !req
156. Seel?Copy !req
157. Seel.Copy !req
158. A cascade Badge.
This is what you want, right?Copy !req
159. - You can have it.
- Thanks. Uh, I'd rather earn my badges.Copy !req
160. Take it. A badge is a badge.Copy !req
161. Here.Copy !req
162. Hold it right there!Copy !req
163. Misty?
- Cha!Copy !req
164. Hi-yah!Copy !req
165. All right, Daisy. If you don't want
to battle him, I will.Copy !req
166. If you don't want to battle him,
I will.Copy !req
167. What do you mean?Copy !req
168. - I'm a Cerulean City trainer too.Copy !req
169. - I'm the fourth Sensational Sister.
- There are only three Sensational SistersCopy !req
170. and one runt.Copy !req
171. So, little sister, it's a surprise
to see you back so soon.Copy !req
172. That little girl with a big mouth
who said she wouldn't come backCopy !req
173. till she was a great Pokémon trainer.
Wasn't that you?Copy !req
174. Huh? I guess I did say something
like that when I left.Copy !req
175. So that's why Misty was so dead set
against coming here.Copy !req
176. Misty, you left here pretending you wanted
to become a Pokémon trainerCopy !req
177. because you couldn't compare with us.Copy !req
178. Because we're obviously much more
talented and beautiful than you are.Copy !req
179. - Uh-oh.
- That wasn't the reason!Copy !req
180. Well, then, I guess,
like, you came backCopy !req
181. because you couldn't make it
as a Pokémon trainer.Copy !req
182. It wasn't my idea to come back here.Copy !req
183. The only reason I'm here
is because he wanted to come.Copy !req
184. Well, he's totally not someone
I'd choose for a boyfriend.Copy !req
185. - Ah!
- But you're no prize yourself.Copy !req
186. My boyfriend? If I battle him,
that'll prove I'm not a quitterCopy !req
187. and I'm just as good a trainer
as you three.Copy !req
188. Well, you are the only one of us
with a Pokémon that can actually battle.Copy !req
189. All right, Ash.
Are you ready to rumble?Copy !req
190. Uh.Copy !req
191. I wasn't planning
on challenging youCopy !req
192. till you paid me back for my bike,
but this is as good a time as any.Copy !req
193. If you want that cascade badge,
you're going to have to beat me.Copy !req
194. It'll be my pleasure.Copy !req
195. Pikachu, this one's
going to be a piece of cake.Copy !req
196. - So how many Pokémon?
- Two against two works for me.Copy !req
197. You got it.
All right, then, Pikachu, I choose you!Copy !req
198. - Huh?
- Chu.Copy !req
199. - Pikachu, what are you doing?
- Chu. Chu.Copy !req
200. Uh, what? Are you saying you
don't want to battle with Misty?Copy !req
201. - Pikachu.
- Well, I guess it's okayCopy !req
202. If you don't want to battle a friend.Copy !req
203. Pikachu, you're a Pika pal!Copy !req
204. - Pikachu!
- Thanks a lot, Pikachu.Copy !req
205. Butterfree, I choose you!Copy !req
206. Well, in that case, Misty calls Staryu!Copy !req
207. - Huh? Hmm.Copy !req
208. Staryu, the core of this water PokémonCopy !req
209. shines in a rainbow of seven colors.Copy !req
210. A core that is valued
by some as a type of jewelry.Copy !req
211. Oh. Wow.Copy !req
212. Leave it to a girl
to show off her jewelry.Copy !req
213. Quit stalling and let's get
this show on the road.Copy !req
214. - Do you think Misty could really win?
- Like, in her dreams, maybe.Copy !req
215. Butterfree, you can blow that thing
away with one blast. Tackle it!Copy !req
216. - Staryu, counter attack!
- Butterfree, dodge!Copy !req
217. - Ha-ha! I'm going to win this.
- Staryu, water gun.Copy !req
218. In that case, Stun Spore now.Copy !req
219. Oh, no.
Staryu looks like it's in real pain.Copy !req
220. It doesn't even have a face.
How can you tell?Copy !req
221. Because I'm sensitive
to others' feelings, that's how.Copy !req
222. - Oh, yeah? Like, I'm not?
- Which side are you clapping for?Copy !req
223. Staryu, wash it off.Copy !req
224. Yay! Too bad you didn't know
that Stun Spore doesn't workCopy !req
225. if you wash it off in water.Copy !req
226. She thinks she knows everything.
Butterfree, Sleep Powder.Copy !req
227. Tackle it from underwater.Copy !req
228. If Staryu can get butterfree underwater,
I win.Copy !req
229. Water Pokémon
always have the edge in the water.Copy !req
230. Pikachu, you're supposed
to be on my side.Copy !req
231. Misty's totally awesome.Copy !req
232. Well, we three
got the good looks in the familyCopy !req
233. so I guess she had to get
some talent.Copy !req
234. Butterfree, return.Copy !req
235. Pidgeotto, I choose you!Copy !req
236. Oh, yeah? Staryu, return!Copy !req
237. Misty calls Starmie!Copy !req
238. Pidgeotto, Whirlwind it away!Copy !req
239. Dive under, then up.Copy !req
240. - Strike back with wing attack.Copy !req
241. - Give it a gust to blow it away.Copy !req
242. - Starmie!Copy !req
243. Oh, no. Starmie's energy
is just about to run out.Copy !req
244. All right, Pidgeotto.
Let's get that trainer badge.Copy !req
245. Huh?Copy !req
246. - Check out that hair.
- Like, who invited the party crashers?Copy !req
247. Sorry to break in on you, ladies.Copy !req
248. Allow us to introduce ourselves.Copy !req
249. - To protect the world from devastation.
- To unite all peoples within our nation.Copy !req
250. - To denounce the evils of truth and love.
- To extend our reach to the stars above.Copy !req
251. - Jessie.
- James.Copy !req
252. Team rocket.
Blast off at the speed of light.Copy !req
253. - Surrender now, or prepare to fight.
- Meowth, that's right.Copy !req
254. - The water Pokémon have the advantage.
- But if we steal that water away.Copy !req
255. - The Pokémon are ours for the taking.
- And Meowth knows just how to do it.Copy !req
256. What are they trying to prove?Copy !req
257. A massive vacuum and a giant hose.Copy !req
258. Ah! Team rocket were the robbers
who broke into that store back there.Copy !req
259. - I should have known it was them.
- Our swimming pool.Copy !req
260. - They're sucking it dry.
- That's our water.Copy !req
261. Right. I should give it back.Copy !req
262. - We've got to protect the Pokémon.
- Like, what about my hair?Copy !req
263. All right, now's the time to suck them up.Copy !req
264. Come back, Seel.Copy !req
265. Oh, Pikachu.Copy !req
266. Pikachu!Copy !req
267. Hey, wait a second.
Water conducts electricity.Copy !req
268. - Pikachu, Thunderbolt!
- Pikachu!Copy !req
269. It's times like these

271. We'll never come clean.Copy !req
272. Looks like Team Rocket's
blasting off again!Copy !req
273. - Oh, no.
- Pikachu!Copy !req
274. Pikachu!Copy !req
275. Pikachu.Copy !req
276. - Hey, we never got to finish our match.
- Yeah.Copy !req
277. - And I was just about to win it too.
- What?Copy !req
278. You could say your match had
to be postponed, like, due to drain.Copy !req
279. - At least nobody lost.
- I wanted to win.Copy !req
280. I guess I'm not going to get
that Cascade Badge.Copy !req
281. - Wrong. We're giving this badge to you.
- Huh?Copy !req
282. How come he gets the badge?
He didn't win.Copy !req
283. Pikachu was the one that,
like, totally saved us all.Copy !req
284. And if he'd used Pikachu from the startCopy !req
285. there was no way your
water Pokémon could have won.Copy !req
286. - Oh, man.
- Take the badge, Ash.Copy !req
287. - You deserve it.
- Gee, thanks.Copy !req
288. - Heh, I'll take it!
- Cha!Copy !req
289. And so Ash earns
his second Pokémon trainer badge.Copy !req
290. Misty, you just go right on
trying to be a Pokémon trainer.Copy !req
291. You might as well be good at something
'cause you'll never be stars like us.Copy !req
292. You keep that up,
and you'll be seeing stars.Copy !req
293. - Chill out.
- Misty, be careful.Copy !req
294. - You know we love you.
- Yeah.Copy !req
295. - Ash. Hey, man.
- Yo, Brocko.Copy !req
296. - How'd it go?
- See for yourself.Copy !req
297. - Cool. Let's go.
- Right.Copy !req
298. You're not leaving without me.Copy !req
299. Misty, you're not going be
a sore loser, are you?Copy !req
300. I didn't lose anything. It was a draw.Copy !req
301. Well, I'm the one who got the badge.Copy !req
302. What?
You know you lost with Butterfree.Copy !req
303. That was just round one.
I made a great comeback.Copy !req
304. If team rocket hadn't busted in,
I would have destroyed you.Copy !req
305. You're lucky they showed up.
You were about to lose.Copy !req
306. Lose? I was just getting started.Copy !req
307. Oh, yeah?
Oh, yeah.Copy !req
308. Oh, brother.Copy !req
309. You guys up for the Pokérap?Copy !req
310. There's 150 Pokémon.
You got to name them all.Copy !req
311. I'm doing 32 today, so try to keep up.Copy !req
312. All right, how'd you do?Copy !req
313. Loosen those lips!
Shake up that tongue!Copy !req
314. Give it a rest. Today's song is sung.
We'll be back tomorrow.Copy !req
