1. Each Pokémon to understandCopy !req
2. With two Pokémon badges
pinned to his jacket,Copy !req
3. our hero, Ash, marches boldly
along the path to, uh...Copy !req
4. - The path to...
- Where are we going?Copy !req
5. How many times do I have to tell you?
Vermillion City.Copy !req
6. It's got a luxury cruise ship
and I'm dying to see it.Copy !req
7. We won't have time for sightseeing.Copy !req
8. I've heard that there's
a really great gym in Vermillion.Copy !req
9. A gym? All right!
I'm gonna win my third badge.Copy !req
10. - Let's go!
- Don't get your hopes up.Copy !req
11. There are a lot of tough trainers
around here.Copy !req
12. Ah, bring them on!Copy !req
13. I bet none of them has even
one Pokémon badge.Copy !req
14. Pidgeotto, finish it!Copy !req
15. - Oh, Rattata!
- And I win!Copy !req
16. That's number ten!Copy !req
17. You're a really
great Pokémon trainer.Copy !req
18. Well, I guess I was pretty good there.Copy !req
19. Wow! You've got badges.Copy !req
20. - Oh, you mean these?
- You got two?Copy !req
21. I think getting him those badges
was a mistake.Copy !req
22. Uh-huh.Copy !req
23. - Pika, pika.
- I bet you could even beat A.J.Copy !req
24. - A.J.?
- Yeah, he lives over there.Copy !req
25. A.J. trains savage Pokémon.Copy !req
26. He built his own gym.Copy !req
27. - He's never lost a single match.
- Until now.Copy !req
28. He hasn't come up against
somebody like me.Copy !req
29. He's getting a big head.Copy !req
30. Yeah, but his brain's still the same size.Copy !req
31. Pika, pika.Copy !req
32. Look at that! This gym isn't even
licensed by the Pokémon League.Copy !req
33. Undefeated? Big deal!
I can beat him.Copy !req
34. Ninety-eight wins in a row.Copy !req
35. You may have won ten battles,Copy !req
36. but he's won almost ten times
more matches than you have.Copy !req
37. I go for quality, not quantity!Copy !req
38. Are you my next victim?Copy !req
39. You must be the wild Pokémon trainer.Copy !req
40. Heh! That's my job.Copy !req
41. But beating chumps like you is my hobby.Copy !req
42. Ready to lose?Copy !req
43. - Wow.
- Now, this is not too shabby at all.Copy !req
44. - What's in the backpack?
- The wild Pokémon that I just caught.Copy !req
45. There's a whole bunch more
in the tent and then some.Copy !req
46. - Hey, can I see them after the match?
- If you want.Copy !req
47. So which Pokémon are you gonna choose
for my 99th win?Copy !req
48. Ninety-ninth? Grr.Copy !req
49. I'm afraid you're gonna have to change
your sign after this match.Copy !req
50. You'll be formerly undefeated.Copy !req
51. You may think that you're hot stuff, kid,Copy !req
52. but you're not playing
in the Pokémon Little League anymore.Copy !req
53. After I win 100 matches in a row,
I'll start competing for badges.Copy !req
54. That means he's only two wins away.Copy !req
55. And he'll be extra psyched to win.Copy !req
56. Ninety-eight wins and you still don't
have a badge? That's tough luck, A.J.Copy !req
57. I have ten wins
and I've won two Pokémon badges.Copy !req
58. Did you buy those badges
or steal them?Copy !req
59. Either that or you competed
in some loser gyms.Copy !req
60. Where were they,
failure city or wimpsville?Copy !req
61. What do you mean, loser gyms?Copy !req
62. Hey, Ash! Pulverize this guy.Copy !req
63. Let's get started, then.
Sandshrew, go!Copy !req
64. A Sandshrew, huh?
This should be interesting.Copy !req
65. Let's be careful now, Ash.Copy !req
66. Remember,
Sandshrew is a Ground-type,Copy !req
67. so Pikachu's electricity
is no good against it.Copy !req
68. I know exactly what I'm doing.
I don't need your help.Copy !req
69. Pidgeotto, I choose you!Copy !req
70. - Sandshrew, go.
- Pidgeotto, dive at it!Copy !req
71. Ash is lucky. The flying Pokémon
should have the advantage here.Copy !req
72. Too bad Sandshrew can't fly.Copy !req
73. - Pidgeotto!
- Finish it!Copy !req
74. Uh-oh!
Pidgeotto, return!Copy !req
75. Butterfree, I choose you!Copy !req
76. You can do it!
Flying versus ground should be no problem.Copy !req
77. That's what you think, kid.
Now watch and weep.Copy !req
78. Go! Stun Spore!Copy !req
79. Free?Copy !req
80. That Sandshrew is well-trained.Copy !req
81. He controls it with a crack of his whip
like a lion tamer.Copy !req
82. - Shrew!
- Free!Copy !req
83. - Butterfree!
- It's not so free anymore.Copy !req
84. Chu!Copy !req
85. Come on, Pikachu.
You've got to help your friends.Copy !req
86. Pikachu!Copy !req
87. Nice work.Copy !req
88. That Sandshrew is very tempting.Copy !req
89. - We should grab it.
- Hmm. Looks fat.Copy !req
90. You two got to carry it.Copy !req
91. The outfit that trainer
is wearing is positively hideous.Copy !req
92. That shirt looks like
it's from a century or two ago.Copy !req
93. He'd fit right in perfectly at a museum.Copy !req
94. At least he doesn't look like
he's trick-or-treating like you do.Copy !req
95. - Unh!
- Meowth! Unh.Copy !req
96. And that makes victory number 99.Copy !req
97. It's not fair.
I'm the one with the badges.Copy !req
98. How about two out of three?Copy !req
99. Stop whining, kid.
Nobody wants to compete against a crybaby.Copy !req
100. Hey, there's something fishy here.Copy !req
101. I didn't have any problems winning
until I battled in your ring.Copy !req
102. How do I know this whole match
wasn't rigged?Copy !req
103. That's it. You cheated!Copy !req
104. How else could Sandshrew
defeat Butterfree?Copy !req
105. Flying Pokémon always have
the advantage over Ground Pokémon.Copy !req
106. Chill out.Copy !req
107. What do you say we go replay
the match someplace else, huh?Copy !req
108. Ash doesn't know when to quit, does he?Copy !req
109. That A.J. sure is strong.
I don't get it.Copy !req
110. - How is he so good?
- One more chance.Copy !req
111. Come back when you grow up.Copy !req
112. It's not fair.Copy !req
113. Looks like you'll have
to rethink the way you train.Copy !req
114. - What do you mean?
- You call that last match a fight?Copy !req
115. Huh?Copy !req
116. It's time
for some serious training.Copy !req
117. Rattata!Copy !req
118. Get back in the water!Copy !req
119. Knock it off!Copy !req
120. Now what do you want,
a swimming match?Copy !req
121. - You're hurting Sandshrew.
- Mind your own business.Copy !req
122. I don't need any amateurs teaching me
how to train Pokémon.Copy !req
123. You call that training?
What's that?Copy !req
124. - It looks like a straitjacket.
- That's no straitjacket.Copy !req
125. It's a strength intensifier.Copy !req
126. - Who invented that thing?
- I did.Copy !req
127. It's my own secret weapon
for unleashing a Pokémon's powers.Copy !req
128. Sandshrew, back in the pool!Copy !req
129. But Sandshrews are weakened by water.Copy !req
130. - I know that.
- You'll hurt it!Copy !req
131. Sandshrew, dive!Copy !req
132. Nice dive.Copy !req
133. - Good work.
- The water doesn't weaken your Sandshrew?Copy !req
134. You're looking at the only Sandshrew
in the worldCopy !req
135. that's strong enough
to withstand water.Copy !req
136. Sandshrew, pick up your pacing!Copy !req
137. Hey, wait.
I thought you said pacing, not passing.Copy !req
138. - Pikachu!
- Huh, I said padding.Copy !req
139. I mean, I said pacing!Copy !req
140. Why are you so tough on Sandshrew?Copy !req
141. I have to be tough,
but I ask no more of SandshrewCopy !req
142. than I do of myself,
the very best.Copy !req
143. But you aren't nearly as tough
on any of your other Pokémon.Copy !req
144. That's because Sandshrew
is the first Pokémon I ever caught.Copy !req
145. I will never forget that moment.Copy !req
146. We promised to do
whatever it took to becomeCopy !req
147. the greatest Pokémon
and trainer of all time.Copy !req
148. Nothing would stop us from reaching our
dream, no matter how difficult our path.Copy !req
149. Enduring fierce storms
and raging winds,Copy !req
150. we're sacrificed everything
to achieve our dream.Copy !req
151. And it was worth it.
We're an unbeatable team.Copy !req
152. What you're doing is wrong.Copy !req
153. A great trainer should make
friends with his Pokémon.Copy !req
154. Why should I listen to you?Copy !req
155. Hey, Brock, don't you have
anything to say about this?Copy !req
156. I do.Copy !req
157. Your Pokémon are all in great shape.Copy !req
158. What kind of Pokémon food
do you give them?Copy !req
159. - Ugh.
- My own recipe.Copy !req
160. Come on, I'll show you.Copy !req
161. To get the results I want, I have to
carefully monitor the Pokémon diets.Copy !req
162. - Of course, the recipe is secret.
- Oh, yeah, of course.Copy !req
163. You know, I mix my own food too.Copy !req
164. Pikachu!Copy !req
165. - Insulated gloves?
- Check.Copy !req
166. - Big rubber ball?
- Check, check, check-a-rooni.Copy !req
167. Team Rocket will do what it has to do...Copy !req
168. To snatch that little Pikachu.Copy !req
169. Maybe we should go back
to our old motto.Copy !req
170. This one doesn't feel right.Copy !req
171. Hey, how about a
theme-Meowth song?Copy !req
172. And I can even do a little dance solo.Copy !req
173. Everyone loves music.Copy !req
174. A song's no good.Copy !req
175. A dance won't work.Copy !req
176. - Here's a line you'll like.
- And what's that?Copy !req
177. How about, "Choreography killed the cat?"Copy !req
178. Okay, you wimps get a 15-minute break.Copy !req
179. - Hey!
- Now what do you want?Copy !req
180. Your Pokémon are totally wiped out.Copy !req
181. You better believe it.Copy !req
182. In this gym we live by the rule
"no pain, no gain."Copy !req
183. But judging by your little stuffed Pikachu
over there, you don't follow any rules.Copy !req
184. It's not a stuffed Pikachu.
Take it back!Copy !req
185. Hey, did you hear me?
I said take it back!Copy !req
186. Don't, Ash!Copy !req
187. You don't win badges for being buddy-buddy
with a Pokémon!Copy !req
188. Knock it off, you two!Copy !req
189. Isn't there a rule against
splashing in the pool?Copy !req
190. Pika, pika, chu...Copy !req
191. - I'm getting dizzy.
- Stop complaining.Copy !req
192. Look for Pikachu.Copy !req
193. - Roll over there.
- What's that?Copy !req
194. - Could it be Pikachu?
- Yeah, that's it. Now hurry!Copy !req
195. All that rolling made me nauseous.Copy !req
196. Got it.Copy !req
197. - Lets go.
- Hurry! I feel sick!Copy !req
198. - Watch where you're going!
- This way!Copy !req
199. Hey, take it easy.Copy !req
200. - Ah, my leg fell asleep.
- I wish your mouth would.Copy !req
201. Why do you keep hanging around here?Copy !req
202. There must be other trainers
you can bother.Copy !req
203. Yeah, right.Copy !req
204. Time's up.
Back to work, all of you!Copy !req
205. Hey, where's Sandshrew?
Well, that's weird.Copy !req
206. What's your Pikachu doing?Copy !req
207. Pikachu.Copy !req
208. - It's no use.
- Here, give it to me.Copy !req
209. - Huh?
- Pikachu!Copy !req
210. Pikachu, you're okay.Copy !req
211. Pikachu, have you seen Sandshrew?Copy !req
212. Pika.Copy !req
213. You haven't.Copy !req
214. Sandshrew!
Where are you?Copy !req
215. Maybe it ran away.Copy !req
216. What are you talking about?Copy !req
217. The way you treat your Pokémon,
I'm surprised they all haven't run away.Copy !req
218. Sandshrew and I have been together
for a long time.Copy !req
219. Yeah, I know, but when Sandshrew saw
how well Pikachu and I get along,Copy !req
220. it thought, "I deserve better.Copy !req
221. I'll find a trainer who treats me
like Ash treats Pikachu."Copy !req
222. Sandshrew would not
break the promise we made,Copy !req
223. not after all we've been through,
not just before our 100th victory!Copy !req
224. Chu.Copy !req
225. Now move it.
Go find Sandshrew.Copy !req
226. - Free!
- Rattata!Copy !req
227. Those clowns
will never catch up with us.Copy !req
228. I'm exhausted.
You take the bag now.Copy !req
229. But a real gentleman
always carries the bag.Copy !req
230. Is that so?
Well, as you know, I'm no gentleman.Copy !req
231. You've all had enough of A.J.Copy !req
232. and the way he pushes you around,
haven't you?Copy !req
233. Well, you don't have to put up
with it anymore,Copy !req
234. because now you can come with me.Copy !req
235. Anyone who's coming with me,
raise your hand!Copy !req
236. Just raise your hand.
Get them up there.Copy !req
237. - Ash is making a fool of himself again.
- Mm.Copy !req
238. You see what happens when you try
to start a mutiny in my gym?Copy !req
239. My Pokémon are all loyal.Copy !req
240. So then where's Sandshrew?Copy !req
241. Meowth!Copy !req
242. Sandshrew.Copy !req
243. A.J. and all his Pokémon sure are happy
that Sandshrew is back.Copy !req
244. How could they possibly pick him over me?Copy !req
245. A.J. is tough, but as you can see,
he cares deeply for his Pokémon.Copy !req
246. Wow, A.J. does care about them.Copy !req
247. - Pika, pi, chu!
- What is it?Copy !req
248. Meowth!Copy !req
249. So then it must've been Team Rocket
that kidnapped Sandshrew.Copy !req
250. Wake up.Copy !req
251. Meowth?Copy !req
252. Hey, where am I?
What's going on here?Copy !req
253. How am I gonna get out of this mess?Copy !req
254. -Prepare for trouble.
-Make that double.Copy !req
255. - Meowth?
- Ugh, Team Rocket.Copy !req
256. Use the old motto.Copy !req
257. To protect the world
from devastation...Copy !req
258. To unite all peoples
within our nation...Copy !req
259. To denounce the evils
of truth and love,Copy !req
260. to extend our reach
to the stars above...Copy !req
261. - Jessie.
- James.Copy !req
262. Team Rocket, blast off
at the speed of light!Copy !req
263. Surrender now or prepare to fight.Copy !req
264. Meowth! That's right!Copy !req
265. That felt great.
We don't need a theme song.Copy !req
266. It's a classic.Copy !req
267. So these are the creeps
who kidnapped my Sandshrew?Copy !req
268. Mm, that was an unfortunate mix-up.Copy !req
269. We have no interest
in your second-rate Sandshrew.Copy !req
270. Second-rate?Copy !req
271. The only Pokémon we want is Pikachu.Copy !req
272. You can keep all those other wimps.Copy !req
273. Wimps, are they?Copy !req
274. That's it! Huh?Copy !req
275. I'll take care of this.Copy !req
276. No one insults my Pokémon
and gets away with it.Copy !req
277. Let's step outside.Copy !req
278. Uh-oh.Copy !req
279. Team Rocket has insulted our gym!Copy !req
280. We'll answer them with our 100th win.Copy !req
281. One hundredth.Copy !req
282. That's right.
As Sandshrew and I vowed.Copy !req
283. Good luck!Copy !req
284. Your small talk will cost you big-time!Copy !req
285. - Ekans, go!
- Your turn, Koffing!Copy !req
286. Ekans!Copy !req
287. Koffing!Copy !req
288. - Sandshrew, go!
- Koffing!Copy !req
289. Ekans!Copy !req
290. Ekans, bind it now!Copy !req
291. Ekans!Copy !req
292. - It's so strong.
- Good work!Copy !req
293. - Excellent!
- Koffing, Sludge attack!Copy !req
294. Koffing!Copy !req
295. Meowth, don't just stand there.Copy !req
296. Stop pussyfooting around!Copy !req
297. Just biting my time.Copy !req
298. Ah! The moment of tooth!Copy !req
299. Finish it!
Sandshrew, Fissure Strike!Copy !req
300. Go, Sandshrew!Copy !req
301. Drill into the ground till it splits!Copy !req
302. That's it! I forfeit the match!Copy !req
303. - Koffing!
- Ekans!Copy !req
304. - Come back here!
- Meowth, where are you going?Copy !req
305. To write us a theme song!Copy !req
306. Not that again! Ugh!Copy !req
307. We did it, Sandshrew!
We finally reached victory number 100!Copy !req
308. Today, all our sacrifices and hard work
have finally paid off!Copy !req
309. Now we can start winning our badges.Copy !req
310. When I return here, I'm gonna be
the number one Pokémon master.Copy !req
311. Why don't you come along with us?Copy !req
312. Thanks, but Sandshrew and I have
our own path that we must follow.Copy !req
313. Someday we'll meet again
at the big Pokémon League competition.Copy !req
314. Okay, but next time,
you better be in shape,Copy !req
315. because I only want to beat
expert trainers.Copy !req
316. That's a deal.Copy !req
317. So long!Copy !req
318. He's tough, but pretty cool.Copy !req
319. Yeah, looks like
you've found another rival.Copy !req
320. A.J., I'm not gonna lose next time!Copy !req
321. I'll train hard to become the greatest
Pokémon master in the world,Copy !req
322. following my own path.Copy !req
323. There are many paths
that lead to the Pokémon LeagueCopy !req
324. and Ash is just beginning
to discover his own.Copy !req
325. What lies on that path is unknown,Copy !req
326. but one thing's for sure,Copy !req
327. he'll never forget the name of
that place with the great gym again.Copy !req
