1. That's right.
I declare to the Pokémon of the world.
Copy !req
2. I will be the greatest Pokémon trainer,
Copy !req
3. the greatest Pokémon Master of all time!
Copy !req
4. As his adventures began,
Ash, our hero from Pallet, chose Pikachu,
Copy !req
5. a Pokémon who wasn't too thrilled
with its new trainer.
Copy !req
6. A flock of angry Spearows
nearly finished them off,
Copy !req
7. but the injured Pikachu saved the day
with its thunder shock power.
Copy !req
8. Pikachu, are you all right?
Copy !req
9. Pikachu regained its health at
the Pokémon Center in Viridian City,
Copy !req
10. which soon found itself under attack.
Copy !req
11. What are, who are they?
Copy !req
12. They are Jessie and James
of the notorious Team Rocket,
Copy !req
13. who, with Meowth, attacked the center,
hoping to steal some rare Pokémon.
Copy !req
14. But their sinister plans
were thwarted by Ash and Pikachu,
Copy !req
15. who next journeyed
into the Viridian Forest,
Copy !req
16. where Ash made his first catch.
Copy !req
17. Yes! I did it! I got Caterpie!
Copy !req
18. Next, he caught Pidgeotto.
Copy !req
19. Yes! We got Pidgeotto!
Copy !req
20. And even more surprises were to come.
Copy !req
21. Caterpie, this is so great.
Copy !req
22. Caterpie evolved into Metapod.
Copy !req
23. And now Challenge of the Samurai.
Copy !req
24. - What's wrong now?
- I think I see another bug. Gross!
Copy !req
25. Maybe it's a...
Copy !req
26. - Cow-terpie!
- Ugh.
Copy !req
27. That's not funny.
Copy !req
28. You know I hate bugs
and I saw one right over there.
Copy !req
29. A Weedle!
Copy !req
30. Weedle, the stinger
on this Pokémon's head guarantees
Copy !req
31. that any attacker will get the point
right where it hurts.
Copy !req
32. A stinger, huh?
Now, there's a challenge.
Copy !req
33. Why are you so excited about a bug
with a stinger? Make it go away!
Copy !req
34. You got to be kidding.
Copy !req
35. You can't possibly expect a great Pokémon
trainer like me to let a Weedle escape.
Copy !req
36. I'm going to catch it.
Copy !req
37. Oh! Oh, yeah, I almost forgot.
Copy !req
38. You have to weaken a Pokémon
before you can capture it.
Copy !req
39. - Let's go, Pikachu.
- Pikachu.
Copy !req
40. Ah, taking a nap, huh?
Copy !req
41. Okay, snooze, you lose.
Copy !req
42. There's still Pidgeotto
and Metapod to do the job,
Copy !req
43. and they give me the respect I deserve.
Copy !req
44. You deserve to have your head examined.
Copy !req
45. - Don't just stand there! Catch it!
- Have no fear. Ash is here.
Copy !req
46. Pidgeotto, I choose you!
Copy !req
47. - Pidgeotto, Gust Attack!
- Pigeo!
Copy !req
48. That's the way to do it!
Copy !req
49. This whole forest is crawling
with slimy, disgusting Pokémon.
Copy !req
50. I wish they'd all just bug off.
Copy !req
51. - Hi-yah!
Copy !req
52. Greetings, oh, shrieking maiden.
Copy !req
53. Are you by chance the Pokémon trainer
who comes from Pallet?
Copy !req
54. No, that's not me.
Copy !req
55. Alas. My search continues.
Copy !req
56. I advise you
to refrain from further shrieking
Copy !req
57. while passing through this forest,
Copy !req
58. unless your goal is to attract
a horde of Beedrills.
Copy !req
59. What a weird kid.
Copy !req
60. I wonder why he'd be looking for
a Pokémon trainer from...
Copy !req
61. Ah, that's Ash!
Copy !req
62. Weedle!
Copy !req
63. Pidgeotto, watch out for its poison sting!
Copy !req
64. Ha, nice work.
Copy !req
65. Okay, here we go.
Weedle, I've got you now.
Copy !req
66. Greetings. Am I addressing
the Pokémon trainer who comes from Pallet?
Copy !req
67. I'm a Pokémon trainer from Pallet,
but I'm a little busy.
Copy !req
68. I have found you at last.
- Ash!
Copy !req
69. - Hiyah!
Copy !req
70. That sword doesn't scare me.
There's no way you're stealing my Pokémon.
Copy !req
71. - I am no Pokémon thief.
- Who are you then?
Copy !req
72. I am Samurai. I am also shrewd, fearless
and completely invincible in combat.
Copy !req
73. I have been searching the forest for you.
Copy !req
74. - What do you want from me?
- A Pokémon match.
Copy !req
75. Let us see who triumphs.
Copy !req
76. - Pika?
Oh, no!
Copy !req
77. I forgot about Weedle. I'll get it.
Copy !req
78. Poké Ball, go!
Copy !req
79. Pidgeo!
Copy !req
80. Pidgeotto, return!
Copy !req
81. That Weedle only got away
because you mixed me up.
Copy !req
82. Don't blame your failure on me.
Copy !req
83. Your Pokémon handling
is dim-witted and clumsy.
Copy !req
84. What do you know about Pokémon?
Copy !req
85. I bet could beat you
in a Pokémon match blindfolded.
Copy !req
86. - There is one way to find out.
- Pikachu.
Copy !req
87. Pidgeotto, do your stuff.
Copy !req
88. Uh-oh.
Copy !req
89. Ash, don't you know you have
to let your Pokémon rest once in a while?
Copy !req
90. Well, I...
Copy !req
91. Only a novice goes into battle
with a pooped-out Pokémon.
Copy !req
92. Your blunder will cost you dearly.
Copy !req
93. Pinsir, assume battle mode!
Copy !req
94. Whoa, he's got a Pinsir.
Copy !req
95. Pinsir, this fearsome Pokémon
Copy !req
96. uses its powerful claws to put
the squeeze on its opponents.
Copy !req
97. That Pinsir looks pretty tough
Copy !req
98. - but Pidgeotto can beat it.
- Pidgeo!
Copy !req
99. Pidgeotto, Sand Attack!
Copy !req
100. That's child's play! Pinsir, tackle it!
Copy !req
101. Pidgeo...
Copy !req
102. - Your Pokémon is beaten.
- Oh, no. Pidgeotto, return!
Copy !req
103. - Novice. Are you ready to surrender?
- No way. I'm just warming up.
Copy !req
104. Metapod, I choose you now!
Copy !req
105. Watch and weep as Pinsir
crushes your Metapod in half.
Copy !req
106. - No.
Copy !req
107. - Those claws!
- Ash?
Copy !req
108. Call off Metapod.
Not even a bug deserves this.
Copy !req
109. This match is already won.
Copy !req
110. Metapod, harden now!
Copy !req
111. - Pikachu!
- It worked.
Copy !req
112. So now who's the novice?
Copy !req
113. Pinsir, return!
Copy !req
114. Clever, quite clever. Poké Ball, go!
Copy !req
115. Metapod?
Copy !req
116. Metapod, harden like his.
Copy !req
117. Maximum hardness, Metapod.
Copy !req
118. More power, Metapod.
Samurai's is weakening.
Copy !req
119. Harder, you're the stronger Metapod.
Copy !req
120. - I'm tired.
- James, stop whining.
Copy !req
121. But, Jessie, what's the point of dragging
this tank around?
Copy !req
122. To protect us from Beedrills.
Copy !req
123. Ever been stung by one? It hurts.
Copy !req
124. Hey, down there, quit chattering.
Get a move on.
Copy !req
125. - What are you doing up there?
- Why don't you come help us?
Copy !req
126. - Wish I could but I'm riding lookout.
- Well, look out for this.
Copy !req
127. Ah! Hey, wait a second.
Come back! Meowth!
Copy !req
128. A little more.
Copy !req
129. Metapod, full power.
Copy !req
130. We could be stuck in this forest
for the rest of our lives.
Copy !req
131. Boys can be so stubborn.
Copy !req
132. Don't give up!
Copy !req
133. You two are more hardheaded
than your Metapods.
Copy !req
134. - Huh?
Copy !req
135. - What's that noise?
- A Beedrill swarm approaches.
Copy !req
136. Our match must end.
Metapod, return!
Copy !req
137. Beedrill swarm.
Copy !req
138. Beedrill, this Pokémon
is an evolved form of Weedle,
Copy !req
139. following its Kakuna stage.
Its sting is highly poisonous.
Copy !req
140. The Weedle that got away from you
has informed the rest of its kind.
Copy !req
141. Good day.
Copy !req
142. Metapod, return now!
Copy !req
143. Oh, no, it got away.
Copy !req
144. - Pikachu!
Copy !req
145. Come on. Let's move it.
Copy !req
146. - But Metapod...
Copy !req
147. They're gaining on us.
Copy !req
148. A whole hive of Kakunas.
Copy !req
149. Kakuna, a transitional
stage between Weedle and Beedrill.
Copy !req
150. Kakunas remain inactive until they evolve
into deadly Beedrills and hatch.
Copy !req
151. Hey, over there. It's Metapod!
Copy !req
152. Keep your voice down.
Copy !req
153. Beedrills, they've evolved.
Copy !req
154. My cabin! I think we can make it!
Copy !req
155. Whew, that was close.
Copy !req
156. Ah, I hope you've learned
your lesson, novice.
Copy !req
157. Your letting that Weedle escape
almost cost our lives.
Copy !req
158. - Take back that "novice" crack.
- I do take it back.
Copy !req
159. Because not even a novice would abandon
his own Pokémon as you did.
Copy !req
160. I tried to save Metapod.
Copy !req
161. Chu.
Copy !req
162. Your Metapod will pay
for its trainer's inexperience.
Copy !req
163. The other trainers from Pallet
would never have been so irresponsible.
Copy !req
164. Other trainers from Pallet?
Copy !req
165. Have you fought Pokémon matches
against Gary and the others?
Copy !req
166. Ah. There were three spectacular matches,
each more challenging than the last.
Copy !req
167. Those trainers really knew
how to raise Pokémon.
Copy !req
168. Even though
I was defeated all three times,
Copy !req
169. I was inspired to redouble
my own training.
Copy !req
170. I have been eagerly preparing for that day
Copy !req
171. when finally I would beat
the next Pokémon trainer from Pallet.
Copy !req
172. So that's why you've been waiting
around here for Ash to show up.
Copy !req
173. Compared to those other three,
novice here is a joke.
Copy !req
174. Metapod.
Copy !req
175. Meowth!
Copy !req
176. Do you know what
Meowth's favorite game is?
Copy !req
177. Ugh, get off!
Copy !req
178. Scratch and sniffle.
Copy !req
179. Guess who.
Copy !req
180. - Prepare for trouble.
- Make it double.
Copy !req
181. - To protect the world from devastation.
- To unite all peoples within our nation.
Copy !req
182. - To denounce the—
- No, not again, not now!
Copy !req
183. Never interrupt the Team Rocket motto.
Copy !req
184. - But the Beedrill—
Ahem.
Copy !req
185. - To denounce the evils of truth and love.
- To extend our reach to the stars above.
Copy !req
186. - Jessie.
- James.
Copy !req
187. Keep it down
before you wake up the Beedrills.
Copy !req
188. Team Rocket!
Blast off at the speed of light!
Copy !req
189. - Surrender now or prepare to fight!
- Meowth! That's right!
Copy !req
190. Little boy, why don't you give
us your Pikachu?
Copy !req
191. There's no use trying to resist us,
so be smart and hand over the Pokémon.
Copy !req
192. I don't have Pikachu with me and even
if I did, I'd never let you take it.
Copy !req
193. Come back here.
Copy !req
194. If I make it past the Beedrills,
maybe they'll dive-bomb Team Rocket.
Copy !req
195. The tank will surely come in handy now.
Copy !req
196. It was worth the struggle
dragging it here.
Copy !req
197. - What?
- Meowth! They're eating the tank!
Copy !req
198. Well, we made it from paper
to reduce the weight.
Copy !req
199. Who knew?
Numskulls!
Copy !req
200. So there you are.
Copy !req
201. - Here, into the Poké Ball, Metapod.
- Metapod, Metapod.
Copy !req
202. Metapod?
Copy !req
203. Huh?
Copy !req
204. Let's go.
Copy !req
205. I didn't abandon you, Metapod.
I just got sidetracked.
Copy !req
206. It was all Samura's fault. Argh!
Copy !req
207. No, it wasn't Samurai's fault.
Copy !req
208. It was my fault.
Copy !req
209. If I was a better Pokémon trainer,
I'd stop making all these excuses.
Copy !req
210. From now on, I swear I'll never run away
and leave my friends behind again.
Copy !req
211. No more excuses.
Copy !req
212. Oh!
Copy !req
213. - Ash!
- Watch out for the twineedle attack!
Copy !req
214. Pikachu!
Copy !req
215. Metapod!
Copy !req
216. Are you hurt?
Are you okay, Metapod?
Copy !req
217. - Pika, pika.
Copy !req
218. Butterfree.
Copy !req
219. - Oh, it's so beautiful.
- Pika.
Copy !req
220. Butterfree, one week
after Caterpie evolves into Metapod,
Copy !req
221. it again evolves into Butterfree.
Copy !req
222. Here come the other Beedrills.
Copy !req
223. - Butterfree.
Copy !req
224. Yeah. Okay!
Copy !req
225. Butterfree, knock them out
with your Sleep Powder!
Copy !req
226. Yay! You put all of them to sleep!
Copy !req
227. Butterfree, you're the best!
Heh, hooray!
Copy !req
228. You were able to handle your Butterfree
so well just after it evolved.
Copy !req
229. - Most impressive.
- Pikachu.
Copy !req
230. This trail will lead you to Pewter City.
Copy !req
231. That's great.
But before we leave you, Samurai,
Copy !req
232. we still have to finish our match.
Copy !req
233. Compared with you, my friend,
I am the novice.
Copy !req
234. But I will keep perfecting my technique
and one day, we will meet again.
Copy !req
235. I'm sure it will be a most
spectacular match.
Copy !req
236. That is guaranteed.
Copy !req
237. Just promise not to match
Metapod versus Metapod again.
Copy !req
238. Pikachu.
Copy !req
239. Until then, Samurai.
Copy !req
240. - See you!
- Pikachu.
Copy !req
241. Farewell.
Copy !req
242. With Team Rocket thwarted for now,
Copy !req
243. Ash and his friends leave
the Viridian Forest
Copy !req
244. and set their sights on Pewter City.
Copy !req
245. Do you have any more bright ideas?
Copy !req
246. Well, unlike you, at least I have ideas.
Copy !req
247. - Yeah, and they're all bad.
- Who asked you?
Copy !req
248. Uh-oh!
Oh, no!
Copy !req
249. Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow!
Copy !req
250. Do you got what it takes
to be the best?
Copy !req
251. Today we'll do 30 Pokémon!
Copy !req
252. It's the ultimate test!
Copy !req
253. Not bad. Not bad.
Copy !req
254. Hey, don't get cocky
tomorrow is the hardest part.
Copy !req
255. We're on our way up to
150 Pokémon.
Copy !req
256. There's no stopping us!
Copy !req
