1. After two weeks of being lost,
Copy !req
2. Our heroes reach Vermilion City.
Copy !req
3. Congratulations! You've finally made it.
Copy !req
4. Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray!
Hip, hip, hooray!
Copy !req
5. I can't wait to take a bubble bath.
Copy !req
6. I have to hit the Laundromat.
Copy !req
7. I'm going to find the Vermillion City Gym
right now.
Copy !req
8. Hold it.
- Huh?
Copy !req
9. - What's the matter?
Copy !req
10. - Pikachu.
- It must be hungry.
Copy !req
11. We haven't eaten anything decent
for three days now.
Copy !req
12. Hey, Pikachu,
you feeling hungry, little buddy?
Copy !req
13. Oh!
Copy !req
14. I guess we're all a little hungry,
right, Pikachu?
Copy !req
15. Pika.
Copy !req
16. I think it's hungry.
Copy !req
17. We'll fix Pikachu up.
Copy !req
18. Huh?
Copy !req
19. I know why you're surprised.
Copy !req
20. I look like all the other nurses, don't I?
Copy !req
21. My first cousin works in
Pewter City,
Copy !req
22. and my second cousin works
in Viridian City.
Copy !req
23. I think I'm the prettiest one, don't you?
Copy !req
24. - Yeah—
Hurry!
Copy !req
25. - Huh?
- You'll be okay, Rattata.
Copy !req
26. Hurry!
Copy !req
27. That Ratatta's in rough shape.
I wonder what happened.
Copy !req
28. Oh, it's the 15th one
brought in this month.
Copy !req
29. What?
Copy !req
30. This is terrible.
Copy !req
31. They all lost to Lieutenant Surge,
the Vermilion Gym Leader.
Copy !req
32. Whoa, he must be a great trainer.
Copy !req
33. So, Ash, you scared already?
Copy !req
34. - No way.
- Well, you talk big.
Copy !req
35. But when you see how tough it is
to get badges, you turn chicken.
Copy !req
36. Maybe you should just quit now.
Copy !req
37. Besides, the only badges you do have
you got out of pity.
Copy !req
38. A badge is a badge!
Copy !req
39. Why don't you try prove how tough you are
at the Vermilion Gym?
Copy !req
40. From the looks of things here,
you'll have to be tough
Copy !req
41. to battle with this Lieutenant Surge.
Copy !req
42. You think he's that tough?
Copy !req
43. We gave you badges, you know.
Copy !req
44. How do you think we'll look
if you get crushed by Surge?
Copy !req
45. You have nothing to worry about,
Copy !req
46. except maybe seeing
my own incredible strength.
Copy !req
47. All right, that's enough.
Copy !req
48. She started it.
Copy !req
49. - Remember, this is a hospital.
Copy !req
50. They say if two people fight,
they really care about each other.
Copy !req
51. - Me care about her?
- Me care about him?
Copy !req
52. That signal means
your Pokémon has recovered.
Copy !req
53. Mm! Yum!
Copy !req
54. Pikachu!
- Pik.
Copy !req
55. I hope you're full because
we got to win big at that Gym today.
Copy !req
56. - Pi!
- Come on, let's go win a badge.
Copy !req
57. Please hurry!
Copy !req
58. Just hold on, Pidgey.
Copy !req
59. I guess they must've come from that Gym.
Copy !req
60. - Pi!
- Huh?
Copy !req
61. - Pikachu! Pikachu!
- What?
Copy !req
62. Don't be a coward.
Copy !req
63. - Pika. Pikachu.
- Huh?
Copy !req
64. Don't I care if you end up
like that Pidgey in there?
Copy !req
65. - Is that it?
- Pika, pika!
Copy !req
66. Yeah. I guess you're right.
Copy !req
67. No problem.
Copy !req
68. You won't end up that way
because you'll win.
Copy !req
69. Don't be a scaredy-cat, Pikachu.
Copy !req
70. Pika. Pikachu!
Copy !req
71. The way they fight,
must mean they care a lot.
Copy !req
72. So this is the Vermilion City Gym.
Copy !req
73. It's not too late to back out.
Copy !req
74. Why should I back out
when I'm going to win?
Copy !req
75. Just stick around and watch me.
Copy !req
76. I'll stick around to see your face
when you get creamed.
Copy !req
77. If you think We're going to get creamed,
you're going to be disappointed.
Copy !req
78. Are we ever going to go inside?
Copy !req
79. Hello. I've come for a Pokémon battle
to earn a thunder badge.
Copy !req
80. Hey, boss, another victim
for the emergency room.
Copy !req
81. - Which one?
Copy !req
82. Whoa, he's huge.
Copy !req
83. Is he the Gym Leader you have to beat?
Copy !req
84. - Welcome to Vermilion Gym.
Ah!
Copy !req
85. Oh, my next challenger is a cute one.
Copy !req
86. Don't think I'll go easy on you.
Copy !req
87. Excuse me,
Copy !req
88. - I'm not the challenger.
- Then who?
Copy !req
89. Me, that's who.
Copy !req
90. Hm? Oh, you.
Copy !req
91. Okay, baby.
Copy !req
92. I'm no baby.
Copy !req
93. My name's Ash Ketchum.
Copy !req
94. I call everybody
who loses to me baby. Huh?
Copy !req
95. - Pi?
A Pikachu.
Copy !req
96. Hey, look at this.
Copy !req
97. Baby brought along a baby Pokémon.
Copy !req
98. - Quit it.
Copy !req
99. Why are you making fun of my Pikachu?
Copy !req
100. Pika, pika!
Copy !req
101. Well, I'll show you why.
Copy !req
102. Go, Poké Ball!
Copy !req
103. Rai!
Copy !req
104. It's a Raichu.
Copy !req
105. Raichu. A mouse Pokémon
of the electric element.
Copy !req
106. Raichu is the evolved form
of Pikachu.
Copy !req
107. It can shock
with more than 100,000 volts,
Copy !req
108. enough to render
a Dragonite unconscious.
Copy !req
109. Chu.
Copy !req
110. Okay, baby.
If you want to quit,
Copy !req
111. - now's your chance.
- Raichu.
Copy !req
112. There's no way we're going to quit now.
Copy !req
113. What could a baby like that do?
Copy !req
114. If you just want to become
a Pokémon Master,
Copy !req
115. you should make your Pokémon evolve
as soon as you catch it.
Copy !req
116. There's more to raising a Pokémon
than forcing it to evolve.
Copy !req
117. And I like this Pikachu
just the way it is.
Copy !req
118. Wrong, baby.
Copy !req
119. Electric Pokémon are only useful
Copy !req
120. once they've learned
all their different electric attacks.
Copy !req
121. You keep it puny like that,
it's no more than a little pet.
Copy !req
122. Pika!
Copy !req
123. - Can Pikachu beat Raichu?
- I seriously doubt it.
Copy !req
124. Especially if Raichu knows
all the electric attacks.
Copy !req
125. Okay, baby,
Copy !req
126. did you just come here
to show us your little pet?
Copy !req
127. We came here to earn a thunder badge.
Copy !req
128. - Pika, pika.
- Pikachu?
Copy !req
129. That's unusual.
Pikachu really wants to go into battle.
Copy !req
130. I'm not surprised.
Copy !req
131. Pikachu, I'm counting on you.
Copy !req
132. Pikachu.
Copy !req
133. Oh, well.
Copy !req
134. I guess you'll learn
that playing with the big boys
Copy !req
135. can be a shocking experience.
Copy !req
136. The Pokémon battle will now begin.
Copy !req
137. Only one Pokémon may be used.
Copy !req
138. The Gym Leader, Lieutenant Surge,
has chosen Raichu.
Copy !req
139. The challenger, Ash,
has chosen Pikachu.
Copy !req
140. No time limit.
Let the battle begin.
Copy !req
141. - Go, Raichu!
- Rai!
Copy !req
142. - Go, Pikachu!
- Pika!
Copy !req
143. Pikachu, thunder shock!
Copy !req
144. Pikachu!
Copy !req
145. - Pi!
- What's that?
Copy !req
146. Raichu, show them a real thunder shock.
Copy !req
147. - Raichu!
Copy !req
148. - Raichu.
- It's over, baby.
Copy !req
149. You didn't really think that Pikachu
could beat my Raichu, did you?
Copy !req
150. Pikachu.
Copy !req
151. - Call it back, Ash.
- But—
Copy !req
152. Raichu's shocks are too powerful.
This is a mismatch.
Copy !req
153. Pikachu, return.
Copy !req
154. Pika.
Copy !req
155. - Pikachu?
- Pikachu still wants to fight?
Copy !req
156. Pi... Pikachu.
Copy !req
157. It's pretty gutsy for a toy.
Copy !req
158. - Pika!
- Pikachu!
Copy !req
159. I enjoy playing with toys,
Copy !req
160. but playtime's over.
Copy !req
161. - Raichu, mega punch!
- Rai!
Copy !req
162. - Now a mega kick!
- Chu!
Copy !req
163. Pikachu!
Copy !req
164. Pikachu's really getting pounded.
Copy !req
165. That Raichu really must be strong.
Copy !req
166. Hey, I just thought of something.
If Pikachu loses this battle...
Copy !req
167. You're right.
Then it's not worth stealing after all.
Copy !req
168. We've wasted all this time.
Copy !req
169. - Maybe you can steal Raichu.
Copy !req
170. Come on, Pikachu.
Can't you zap it like you always do?
Copy !req
171. - Surge is getting ready to finish it off.
Copy !req
172. Now, give us the big finale, Raichu.
Copy !req
173. Raichu!
Copy !req
174. - Pi...
- Pikachu. I'm glad you're okay.
Copy !req
175. - Pikachu.
Copy !req
176. - Pikachu got hurt pretty badly.
- I can see that.
Copy !req
177. - No, no. I mean its spirit.
- What do you mean?
Copy !req
178. Pikachu was totally overpowered
by that Raichu.
Copy !req
179. - Brock's right, Ash.
- We'll try harder.
Copy !req
180. We'll win next time
if Pikachu tries harder.
Copy !req
181. I think Pikachu was trying its best
the last time.
Copy !req
182. Hm.
Copy !req
183. There is one way you might win.
Huh?
Copy !req
184. I'm sorry. I overheard your conversation,
and I just thought that maybe—
Copy !req
185. How can we win?
Copy !req
186. A while ago, I just happened
to come across this.
Copy !req
187. - Wow, it's a Thunderstone.
- A Thunderstone?
Copy !req
188. Yes. You can use it to make Pikachu
evolve into a Raichu.
Copy !req
189. I could evolve Pikachu
into a Raichu?
Copy !req
190. Then Pikachu might be strong enough
to win.
Copy !req
191. You've got to think hard
before using the Thunderstone.
Copy !req
192. Huh?
Copy !req
193. If you make Pikachu evolve, Ash,
you can't change it back.
Copy !req
194. Pikachu will never be the same.
Copy !req
195. If Pikachu becomes a Raichu,
I might be able to win that badge.
Copy !req
196. On the other hand,
to make it evolve just to fight,
Copy !req
197. I would be just like Surge.
Copy !req
198. Pikachu, what do you want to do?
Copy !req
199. - Pika.
- I really want to beat that Surge,
Copy !req
200. but I also don't want
to force you to evolve
Copy !req
201. if you'd he happier
staying the way you are now.
Copy !req
202. - He's letting Pikachu decide.
- If it becomes Raichu, it'll be stronger.
Copy !req
203. What's it going to do?
Copy !req
204. - Pi—
- Pikachu.
Copy !req
205. Save your strength.
Copy !req
206. - Chu!
Copy !req
207. - Pikachu.
- Pika, Pikachu! Pika.
Copy !req
208. Pi, pi, pi, Pikachu!
Chu! Pika, Pikachu!
Copy !req
209. It's so brave.
Copy !req
210. - So tell us what Pikachu's saying.
- Pikachu won't change.
Copy !req
211. If it's going to pick a Raichu,
it wants to do it just as it is.
Copy !req
212. You mean, it's going to battle again
as a Pikachu?
Copy !req
213. It's going to fight
in the name of all Pikachu.
Copy !req
214. - Really?
Copy !req
215. That's so beautiful.
Copy !req
216. Pikachu, together, you and I will beat
Lieutenant Surge and his Raichu.
Copy !req
217. Pika, pika!
Copy !req
218. - You're both crazy.
- You should change your strategy, Ash.
Copy !req
219. Maybe use your other Pokémon.
Copy !req
220. It's hard, but it's not impossible.
Copy !req
221. Pikachu and I will find a way to win.
Copy !req
222. Pika, Pikachu! Pika!
Copy !req
223. Huh? Pikachu will prove it
can beat Raichu.
Copy !req
224. It will defend its honor and Ash's.
Copy !req
225. Oh, dear, that's magnificent.
Copy !req
226. All right, are we all charged up?
Copy !req
227. Pi... Pika.
Copy !req
228. - Huh?
- It hasn't fully recovered its stamina.
Copy !req
229. You should let it rest
a little while longer.
Copy !req
230. Pikachu.
Copy !req
231. Oh, this whole thing has me so nervous.
Copy !req
232. Really? Since when did you
decide to worry about me?
Copy !req
233. Not you. I'm concerned
about Pikachu. I hope it'll be okay.
Copy !req
234. - Hey, Ash.
- Yeah?
Copy !req
235. During the fight, Surge said
that he made his Raichu evolve
Copy !req
236. - as soon as he got it, didn't he?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
237. - Then perhaps there is a way.
- Huh?
Copy !req
238. Pikachu, our lucky star is shining today.
Copy !req
239. Pi? Pika?
Copy !req
240. Where? I don't see it.
Copy !req
241. How can you see a star
in the middle of the day?
Copy !req
242. Oh! I don't mean it's actually shining.
Copy !req
243. - Let's go, Pikachu.
- Pika.
Copy !req
244. Seems like they're ready to win,
doesn't it?
Copy !req
245. Huh?
Copy !req
246. Uh, who are you guys?
Copy !req
247. To protect the world from devastation.
Copy !req
248. We forgot.
Copy !req
249. We are the challenger's cheerleaders,
Copy !req
250. and we're here to show our support
for the brave Pikachu and Ash.
Copy !req
251. Rah!
Copy !req
252. In honor of the great Pikachu's bravery,
we wish to offer a cheer.
Copy !req
253. We want you, Pikachu!
Copy !req
254. Give me a pi Give me a ka!
Give me a chu! What've you got?
Copy !req
255. Pikachu! Fight, fight, Pikachu
You're our Pokémon, yeah
Copy !req
256. - Hip, hip, hooray!
- Yay, Pikachu!
Copy !req
257. Okay, let's split.
Copy !req
258. - That was really disturbing.
- Thanks for your support!
Copy !req
259. - Bye, Team Rocket!
Copy !req
260. How did they know it was us?
Lucky guess.
Copy !req
261. Hey, baby,
you ready to take another beating?
Copy !req
262. You didn't even make your
Pikachu evolve.
Copy !req
263. You haven't learned anything yet.
Copy !req
264. Don't you be so sure, Surge.
Copy !req
265. Okay, well, let's see.
Copy !req
266. The challenger, Ash, using a Pikachu.
Copy !req
267. The Gym Leader, Lieutenant Surge,
using a Raichu.
Copy !req
268. The Pokémon will battle one-on-one
with no time limit.
Copy !req
269. - Let the battle begin!
Copy !req
270. Use the strategy we planned,
Pikachu!
Copy !req
271. - You can do it!
- Pika!
Copy !req
272. A strategy?
Copy !req
273. So they've been planning a new way
to lose.
Copy !req
274. - Go, Raichu!
- Raichu!
Copy !req
275. Pika...
Copy !req
276. - Raichu.
Copy !req
277. - Pikachu!
- Hang in there, Pikachu.
Copy !req
278. Roll to the side and break away.
Copy !req
279. - It can't lose.
- Not after the cheer we did.
Copy !req
280. Maybe we did the wrong kind
of cheer.
Copy !req
281. Do it, Raichu.
Give it the body slam.
Copy !req
282. - Raichu!
Copy !req
283. Finish it off, Raichu.
Another body slam!
Copy !req
284. - Raichu!
Oh!
Copy !req
285. Pikachu!
Copy !req
286. Watch out!
Copy !req
287. - Hey, what?
- Chu!
Copy !req
288. All right!
- Do it, Pikachu! Agility now!
Copy !req
289. - Chu!
- Raichu, use your body slam!
Copy !req
290. Raichu!
Copy !req
291. Uh, Raichu?
Copy !req
292. It's working. Just like brock said.
Copy !req
293. Right. Raichu evolved too fast,
Copy !req
294. and it never learned the speed attacks
it could only learn in the Pikachu stage.
Copy !req
295. - Okay, use all the agility you've got.
Copy !req
296. Your Raichu's way too slow, Surge.
That's its weakness.
Copy !req
297. Okay, Raichu.
Give it a thunder bolt.
Copy !req
298. Shut it down.
Copy !req
299. Raichu!
Copy !req
300. The end of the match.
Huh? What?
Copy !req
301. - Pikachu.
- All right, way to go.
Copy !req
302. It used its tail as a ground
and dodged the electric shock.
Copy !req
303. - What a shocking story.
- That was quite a tale.
Copy !req
304. - Meow!
Copy !req
305. Raichu, give it another thunder bolt!
Copy !req
306. Rai...
Copy !req
307. - Oh.
- Rai!
Copy !req
308. - Do something!
Copy !req
309. It's over.
Raichu ran out of electricity.
Copy !req
310. All right. Quick attack.
Copy !req
311. Chu!
Copy !req
312. Raichu, take down now!
Copy !req
313. - Rai!
- Pikachu!
Copy !req
314. - Pika, Pikachu!
Copy !req
315. Raichu!
Copy !req
316. Unbelievable!
Copy !req
317. We did it, Pikachu.
Copy !req
318. - Way to go.
- Fantastic.
Copy !req
319. Hooray!
- Victory!
Copy !req
320. Pikachu.
Copy !req
321. Congratulations. Nice job, Ash, Pikachu.
Copy !req
322. As proof of your victory,
a thunder badge.
Copy !req
323. Thank you.
Copy !req
324. Would you look at that?
It's really a thunder badge.
Copy !req
325. You should be proud.
Copy !req
326. You and your Pikachu
really fought good together.
Copy !req
327. Thanks.
A thunder badge!
Copy !req
328. And it's all mine!
Copy !req
329. Pi, Pikachu.
Copy !req
330. Nice victory, Ash.
You're no baby.
Copy !req
331. - Congratulations, Ash, Pikachu.
- You finally got your own badge.
Copy !req
332. Rai, rai, rai.
Copy !req
333. - Pika.
- Rai.
Copy !req
334. Thank you, Pikachu.
This was your victory.
Copy !req
335. - Pika.
Copy !req
336. Wow! Now I can really can see
lots of lucky stars.
Copy !req
337. Pika, pika.
Copy !req
338. - Those two really are quite a team.
- Yes, indeed.
Copy !req
339. That Pikachu really is special.
Copy !req
340. That's why it's worth snatching.
Copy !req
341. Hey, once we steal it,
maybe we can earn our own badges.
Copy !req
342. Ash and Pikachu won a thunder
badge in an impressive performance.
Copy !req
343. But they still have a long way to go
to reach their goal, as does Team Rocket.
Copy !req
344. And so the adventure continues on and on.
Copy !req
345. Drat! We wasted this episode
cheering the good guys.
Copy !req
346. Right, James. Better luck next time.
Copy !req
347. Do you got what it takes to be the best?
Copy !req
348. Today, we'll do 30 Pokémon!
Copy !req
349. It's the ultimate test!
Copy !req
350. Not bad, not bad!
Copy !req
351. Hey, don't get cocky.
Tomorrow's the hardest part.
Copy !req
352. We're on our way to 150 Pokémon!
Copy !req
353. There's no stopping us!
Copy !req
