1. Once again,
we join our hero, Ash
Copy !req
2. on his continuing quest
to become a Pokémon Master.
Copy !req
3. With his friends Brock,
Misty and Pikachu,
Copy !req
4. Ash's next adventure
is on the horizon.
Copy !req
5. Wow. look at those rocks.
- Pi.
Copy !req
6. That's a long drop.
Copy !req
7. Fall from here
and the ball game's over.
Copy !req
8. Mm-hm. Mm-hm.
Copy !req
9. The map says that this ridge
leads right to Saffron City.
Copy !req
10. And to our next challenge
at the Saffron Gym.
Copy !req
11. Yeah. Huh?
Copy !req
12. - What are those?
They look like Butterfree.
Copy !req
13. The Butterfree are celebrating
their season of love.
Copy !req
14. - Love?
Yeah.
Copy !req
15. The season of love
is when Butterfree lay their eggs.
Copy !req
16. The Butterfree find mates
and then lay their eggs across the sea.
Copy !req
17. Across the sea?
That's right.
Copy !req
18. How cute.
Copy !req
19. You mean my Butterfree would go too?
Copy !req
20. If you don't let it cross the sea,
it will never have babies.
Copy !req
21. Hm. Babies?
Copy !req
22. I'm surprised there was
a hot air balloon for rent out here.
Copy !req
23. We'll probably see lots of other balloons
once we get up into the air.
Copy !req
24. Hold on, guys.
Copy !req
25. Heh, what a view.
Copy !req
26. Huh?
Copy !req
27. Look, there they are.
Let's go.
Copy !req
28. Butterfree!
Copy !req
29. Wow, all the Butterfree
are pairing off into couples.
Copy !req
30. - Okay, Ash.
- Oh, right.
Copy !req
31. Butterfree, go!
Copy !req
32. - Go out there and find your mate.
- Good luck, Butterfree.
Copy !req
33. Huh?
Copy !req
34. Maybe none of those Butterfree
is its type.
Copy !req
35. What do you mean
by its type, Brock?
Copy !req
36. The Butterfree
all look exactly the same to me.
Copy !req
37. Some must fly better than others
Copy !req
38. or maybe they have
slightly different patterns, I guess.
Copy !req
39. - Huh?
Huh?
Copy !req
40. Look at all the balloons.
Copy !req
41. They're all Butterfree trainers.
They come at this time every year
Copy !req
42. to release their Butterfree.
Copy !req
43. Oh.
Copy !req
44. You just go find yourself
a nice mate, Butterfree, go!
Copy !req
45. Oh, no, not this again.
Copy !req
46. - Butterfree.
- Listen up, Butterfree.
Copy !req
47. See the Butterfree
that girl just released?
Copy !req
48. Ha! that one. That one right there
pick that one.
Copy !req
49. Don't you get it?
If two Butterfree fall in love
Copy !req
50. their trainers will meet
and they can fall in love too.
Copy !req
51. - Oh.
- Don't butt into Pokémon love affairs.
Copy !req
52. But, Misty,
if Butterfree doesn't find a mate
Copy !req
53. it won't ever have babies.
Copy !req
54. Go ahead, then.
Copy !req
55. Free! Free!
Copy !req
56. Go get them, Butterfree.
Copy !req
57. The perfect mate for you
is got to be out there somewhere.
Copy !req
58. Free! Free!
Copy !req
59. Free! Free! Free! Free! Free! Free!
Copy !req
60. It looks like Butterfree
really found someone it likes.
Copy !req
61. Yeah, love at first sight
with that pink one.
Copy !req
62. Butterfree's acting kind of weird.
Copy !req
63. That's Butterfree's courtship dance.
Copy !req
64. Courtship dance?
Copy !req
65. It's Butterfree's way of saying:
"I want to be your Butterfree."
Copy !req
66. Oh, that's so romantic.
Copy !req
67. If it's successful,
the other Butterfree does a dance too.
Copy !req
68. It's doing something.
Copy !req
69. What's going on?
Copy !req
70. Free! Free! Free! Free! Free...
Copy !req
71. Free...
Copy !req
72. - Butterfree got shot down.
- What? That's so mean. That isn't fair.
Copy !req
73. Butterfree.
Where are you going?
Copy !req
74. Butterfree!
Copy !req
75. Shot down in its prime.
Copy !req
76. Butterfree! Hey, Butterfree!
Copy !req
77. Butterfree.
- Pikachu.
Copy !req
78. - Butterfree. Come out.
- Butterfree. Where are you?
Copy !req
79. It's Butterfree.
Copy !req
80. Hey, there, Butterfree,
are you okay?
Copy !req
81. Free...
Copy !req
82. - Hey, how come you look so sad, buddy?
- It was rejected by someone it loved.
Copy !req
83. That's a terrible shock.
Believe me, it's a terrible feeling.
Copy !req
84. I could write a book
about the secrets of love and heartache.
Copy !req
85. I guess that book
would be your autobiography.
Copy !req
86. Pikachu. Pika, Pikachu.
Copy !req
87. Pika. Pikachu.
Copy !req
88. Do you think maybe Dexter
might be able to tell us
Copy !req
89. how Butterfree can get that
other Butterfree to be its mate?
Copy !req
90. Dexter's never been in love.
Copy !req
91. I just don't understand it.
My Butterfree's great.
Copy !req
92. Why would any other Butterfree
reject it?
Copy !req
93. Butterfree, maybe you just have
to show off your strengths
Copy !req
94. and let the others see
how great you are.
Copy !req
95. Show how powerful your Tackle is
or how you can use Stun Spore.
Copy !req
96. That's right, Butterfree.
You've got to be assertive.
Copy !req
97. Love is all about attacking
your opponent first.
Copy !req
98. Get in a quick punch and surprise them,
then while they're still weak
Copy !req
99. take the lead
and you'll beat them hands down.
Copy !req
100. Trust me,
I know that's the best way to win.
Copy !req
101. - You mean it?
- Sure do. That's love.
Copy !req
102. - Ah! I wish I'd known that sooner.
- Let's give it another try.
Copy !req
103. - Hold it.
- Huh?
Copy !req
104. A new look might help.
Copy !req
105. - Heh.
- Yeah, that looks great.
Copy !req
106. Free! Free!
Copy !req
107. We got to find it. Where did
that pink Butterfree go?
Copy !req
108. - This is important to you, isn't it?
- I raised that Butterfree myself
Copy !req
109. and I'll show them all
how good it is.
Copy !req
110. Heh, it looks like the trainer
is just as passionate as the Butterfree.
Copy !req
111. All right, there it is.
Copy !req
112. Now, Butterfree, this time
just have confidence in yourself.
Copy !req
113. - Go.
- Pika.
Copy !req
114. Free!
Copy !req
115. Butterfree! Show it your Whirlwind attack!
Copy !req
116. Hm. Now use your Tackle.
That should do the trick.
Copy !req
117. Free! Free! Free! Free!
Copy !req
118. - Free...
Copy !req
119. Shot down again.
- Pikachu.
Copy !req
120. - Huh?
- What's that?
Copy !req
121. Prepare for trouble.
Make it double.
Copy !req
122. To protect the world from devastation.
Copy !req
123. To unite all peoples within our nation.
Copy !req
124. - To renounce the evils of truth and love.
- To extend our reach to the stars above.
Copy !req
125. Jessie.
James.
Copy !req
126. Team Rocket,
blast off at the speed of light.
Copy !req
127. Surrender now or prepare to fight.
Copy !req
128. Meowth. That's right.
Copy !req
129. Ha-ha! Look at all the Butterfree.
Copy !req
130. All ours for the taking.
Copy !req
131. Let's do some networking, ha-ha!
Copy !req
132. Look! They're stealing the Butterfree.
Copy !req
133. It's those little twerps again.
Copy !req
134. No matter where we go,
those kids are always in our way.
Copy !req
135. But this time
they can't do a thing to stop us.
Copy !req
136. Hey, knock it off.
Copy !req
137. Stop or you're going to disrupt
their whole egg-laying season.
Copy !req
138. Can't you see
these Butterfree are in love?
Copy !req
139. Heh, we're in love too, little girl,
with all the pretty little Pokémon.
Copy !req
140. Those Butterfree are free no more.
Copy !req
141. Argh! We've got to stop them.
Copy !req
142. Quit it!
Leave 'em alone!
Copy !req
143. We're having quiet a spree.
Copy !req
144. - We're swiping all of the Butterfree.
- There's never been a happier me.
Copy !req
145. Can't we speed this thing up
and catch them?
Copy !req
146. I'm trying, Ash,
but their chopper's a lot faster.
Copy !req
147. Huh.
Copy !req
148. Ha-ha, nothing but net.
Copy !req
149. Free!
Copy !req
150. Free! Free!
Copy !req
151. Free! Free!
Copy !req
152. Yeah. That's it, Butterfree!
Use your Tackle Attack.
Copy !req
153. Huh, that pathetic little insect thinks
it can stop us.
Copy !req
154. Butterfree, Stun Spore now!
Copy !req
155. Ha-ha-ha! That was a stunning failure.
Copy !req
156. I guess I'm going to
have to use Pidgeotto then.
Copy !req
157. Wait a minute. You can't do that.
Copy !req
158. Just think how Butterfree would feel.
It's trying its hardest out there.
Copy !req
159. All right.
Copy !req
160. All right. What a catch.
Copy !req
161. Now let's hit the skyway.
Copy !req
162. Our thanks to all of you who came
to see Team Rocket's latest triumph.
Copy !req
163. - We hope to see you again.
Next time we steal the show.
Copy !req
164. Hey, come back!
Copy !req
165. Free! Free!
Copy !req
166. - Butterfree! After it.
- Here goes.
Copy !req
167. - I don't see Butterfree or Team Rocket.
Copy !req
168. Butterfree was flying
as fast as it could.
Copy !req
169. I bet it's going to follow that pink
Butterfree no matter where they take it.
Copy !req
170. Butterfree, where are you?
Copy !req
171. Pika!
Copy !req
172. Butterfree!
- Pika!
Copy !req
173. - Please, Butterfree!
- Hey, Butterfree!
Copy !req
174. Free! Free!
Copy !req
175. - Ah, Butterfree.
- Free! Free!
Copy !req
176. Free! Free!
Copy !req
177. What happened?
Copy !req
178. - Chu, chu?
Copy !req
179. - Is the pink Butterfree over there?
- Free! Free!
Copy !req
180. Don't worry.
Show us the way, Butterfree.
Copy !req
181. 98 Meowth, 99 Meowth,
100 Meowth, hee-hee-hee!
Copy !req
182. A very nice catch.
Just between us, isn't it nice
Copy !req
183. to have one of our nefarious schemes
actually work for once?
Copy !req
184. Feels great.
Copy !req
185. We're at our best
when we're at our worst.
Copy !req
186. We've finally got it back.
Copy !req
187. Yeah, when the boss hears about this,
I'll be top cat again.
Copy !req
188. Na-na-na!
Copy !req
189. - Hey, somebody's busting in.
- Who is it? who's there?
Copy !req
190. - Prepare for trouble.
- And you can make that triple.
Copy !req
191. To protect the world from devastation.
Copy !req
192. - To unite all peoples within our nation.
- To unite all peoples within our nation.
Copy !req
193. - This was just—
- Too good.
Copy !req
194. - To last.
- You got that right.
Copy !req
195. Pika!
Copy !req
196. We're defending the beauty
of truth and love.
Copy !req
197. - Let's do it.
- We got to stop them!
Copy !req
198. - Today is the one day.
- You won't win.
Copy !req
199. Butterfree, go.
Copy !req
200. Go, Starmie!
Copy !req
201. Starmie, Tackle attack.
Copy !req
202. Free! Free!
Copy !req
203. Free! Free!
Copy !req
204. The Butterfree are getting away!
Do something!
Copy !req
205. Take this.
Copy !req
206. Hang in there, Starmie.
Copy !req
207. Hurry up, fly away.
Copy !req
208. Wait. Stop them.
They're getting away. Hurry.
Copy !req
209. Are you all right, Butterfree?
Copy !req
210. Free! Free! Free!
Copy !req
211. I'll get you.
Copy !req
212. Free!
Copy !req
213. We won't let them get away, argh!
Copy !req
214. Stop! Come back!
Wait!
Copy !req
215. We're going to get every one of them back.
Copy !req
216. Hurry. Faster.
Copy !req
217. There's team rocket. Over there.
Copy !req
218. The flock of Butterfree.
Copy !req
219. No, they're doing it again.
Copy !req
220. Pikachu!
Copy !req
221. Pikachu, what are you two going to do?
Copy !req
222. Pika!
Copy !req
223. What's that?
Copy !req
224. Huh?
Copy !req
225. Pika!
Copy !req
226. Huh?
Copy !req
227. Ka!
Copy !req
228. It's going to shock us. It's going
to shock us. It's going to shock us.
Copy !req
229. It's going to shock us. It's going to...
Copy !req
230. - We were so close this time.
Copy !req
231. Looks like Team Rocket's
blasting off again!
Copy !req
232. We did it.
Copy !req
233. That'll teach 'em not to play around
with a Pokémon romance.
Copy !req
234. - Free!
- Pika.
Copy !req
235. - You did it, Pikachu. Great work.
- Pi. Pikachu.
Copy !req
236. Free!
Copy !req
237. Free! Free!
Copy !req
238. Hey, look.
Copy !req
239. Free! Free! Free!
Copy !req
240. Heh, now the pink Butterfree
Copy !req
241. is doing the courtship dance
for your Butterfree.
Copy !req
242. - All right, good for you, Butterfree.
- Chu.
Copy !req
243. Free! Free! Free! Free!
Copy !req
244. Well, I guess you have
to leave us now, don't you?
Copy !req
245. They have to cross the ocean
and start their new family.
Copy !req
246. - I'll miss you, Butterfree.
- It's time.
Copy !req
247. I'll say goodbye, then.
Copy !req
248. This is a great Butterfree,
so take care of it for me.
Copy !req
249. Free! Free!
Copy !req
250. - Your babies are going to be beautiful.
- I guess you better get going.
Copy !req
251. Free!
Copy !req
252. Free!
Copy !req
253. Don't worry. I'll just tell all
the other Pokémon that you're on a trip
Copy !req
254. and you'll come back someday maybe.
Copy !req
255. Free! Free! Free!
Copy !req
256. Goodbye, Butterfree.
Copy !req
257. - Bye-bye, Butterfree.
- Good luck to both of you.
Copy !req
258. Pikachu.
Copy !req
259. Butterfree.
Copy !req
260. Hey, Ash,
Butterfree's almost out of sight.
Copy !req
261. Huh?
Copy !req
262. Take care, Butterfree!
Good luck, buddy!
Copy !req
263. Free!
Copy !req
264. Goodbye, Butterfree.
I'll always remember you.
Copy !req
265. Thank you for everything.
Goodbye, Butterfree!
Copy !req
266. Have a good trip, Butterfree.
Take care of yourself!
Copy !req
267. Goodbye, Butterfree.
Copy !req
268. Be happy, old friend.
Copy !req
269. You know, Ash, you raised Butterfree
to have a lot of courage
Copy !req
270. and I think you just proved
you have a lot of courage, too.
Copy !req
271. Thank you, Brock.
Copy !req
272. - Pikachu.
Copy !req
273. - Isn't that beautiful?
- It sure is.
Copy !req
274. Good friendships last forever
Copy !req
275. even though friends
don't always stay together.
Copy !req
276. Helping Butterfree to grow, Ash just
might have grown a little himself.
Copy !req
277. Free! Free! Free! Free!
Copy !req
278. Okay, guys,
we gotta rap some Pokémon.
Copy !req
279. You just do the singing.
I'll take care of the hard part.
Copy !req
280. Let's get it on!
Copy !req
281. Thirty-two down, that's it for now.
Copy !req
282. Tune in tomorrow.
We'll rap at you some more.
Copy !req
283. There's 150,
so watch Monday Through Friday.
Copy !req
284. You'll catch 'em all!
Copy !req
