1. Ash marches onward
toward Cinnabar Gym,
Copy !req
2. hoping to win his seventh badge,
but along the way,
Copy !req
3. other challenges will play
an important part in his training.
Copy !req
4. - Rhyhorn, I choose you.
- Bulbasaur! I choose you!
Copy !req
5. - Bulbasaur!
- Rhyhorn, Takedown now.
Copy !req
6. Pikachu.
Copy !req
7. - It feels like an earthquake.
- Get out of its way.
Copy !req
8. Rhyhorn's Takedown move
is like getting hit by a tank.
Copy !req
9. Bulbasaur, go! Leech Seed now!
Copy !req
10. Bulbasaur!
Copy !req
11. Bulbasaur!
Copy !req
12. - Oh, no.
- That Rhyhorn must be at a high level.
Copy !req
13. - Bulba bulba. Bulbasaur.
Copy !req
14. Bulbasaur bulba.
Copy !req
15. Aw, Bulbasaur, return.
Copy !req
16. Bulba! Bulbasaur saur.
Copy !req
17. What are you doing, Bulbasaur?
Return.
Copy !req
18. Bulbasaur is determined
not to give up the battle till it wins.
Copy !req
19. Ha-ha-ha!
You must be a lousy trainer, kid.
Copy !req
20. It won't even listen to you.
Copy !req
21. Saur.
Copy !req
22. Pika!
Copy !req
23. You can do it, Bulbasaur! Razor Leaf!
Copy !req
24. Bulbasaur!
Copy !req
25. Bulbasaur!
Copy !req
26. - Oh, Rhyhorn!
- All right!
Copy !req
27. You sure chopped me down to size, kid.
Your Bulbasaur's great.
Copy !req
28. Thanks.
Your Rhyhorn isn't so bad either.
Copy !req
29. Bulbasaur can never settle
for being second best, can it, Ash?
Copy !req
30. All of Ash's Pokémon are really stubborn
just like Ash is.
Copy !req
31. Chu?
Copy !req
32. That's the way to win, Bulbasaur.
Huh?
Copy !req
33. Bulbasaur bulba.
Copy !req
34. Is something the matter, Bulbasaur?
Are you feeling sick?
Copy !req
35. - Pikachu?
- Oh!
Copy !req
36. Bulbasaur!
Pika ka pika.
Copy !req
37. Something is really wrong
with my Bulbasaur.
Copy !req
38. - I think it must be sick.
- Hmm.
Copy !req
39. Bulba bulba.
Copy !req
40. I wonder if this Bulbasaur is...
Copy !req
41. Please, you got save it no matter what.
Please, Nurse Joy.
Copy !req
42. I can't make any promises
until I examine it,
Copy !req
43. but I'll do whatever I can.
Copy !req
44. It's got to be okay.
Copy !req
45. What's the matter, Togepi?
Is something wrong? Huh?
Copy !req
46. It's happening. Now I'm positive.
Copy !req
47. Joy, is my Bulbasaur going to be okay?
Copy !req
48. You don't have to worry
about your Bulbasaur, Ash.
Copy !req
49. It isn't sick at all.
It's just getting ready to evolve.
Copy !req
50. Evolve? I can't believe it.
Bulbasaur's going to evolve.
Copy !req
51. You shouldn't be surprised.
Copy !req
52. That mountain man said
Bulbasaur was strong
Copy !req
53. and that's because you've done
such a great job training it.
Copy !req
54. When Bulbasaur evolves,
it'll turn into Ivysaur, right?
Copy !req
55. Right. So how long is it going to be
till the big evolve-o-rama?
Copy !req
56. Let me see.
Copy !req
57. - Wow, just like last time.
- What do you mean?
Copy !req
58. When they brought Bulbasaur
into the center before,
Copy !req
59. I saw a vase of flowers
burst into bloom.
Copy !req
60. - Hey, look. The flowers are sparkling.
- Chu.
Copy !req
61. They say that
at a certain time of the year,
Copy !req
62. Bulbasaur gather together
from all over the world
Copy !req
63. for the festival where they evolve.
Copy !req
64. No one knows
why they choose that time.
Copy !req
65. It's different every year,
Copy !req
66. but it seems to have something to do
with the alignment of the planets
Copy !req
67. and the phases of the moon.
Copy !req
68. It sure is beautiful.
Copy !req
69. It looks like we got here
at just the right time for the festival.
Copy !req
70. Where do the Bulbasaur go
to evolve?
Copy !req
71. Have you ever heard
of the Mysterious Garden?
Copy !req
72. The Mysterious Garden?
Cool name.
Copy !req
73. Yes, but since no human being
has ever seen the garden clearly.
Copy !req
74. Most people think
it's nothing but an illusion.
Copy !req
75. Look at those flowers sparkle.
That's not an illusion.
Copy !req
76. The Mysterious Garden
must be someplace out there.
Copy !req
77. The Mysterious Garden,
I want to see that.
Copy !req
78. - How about you, Pikachu? Want to see it?
Pika, pika.
Copy !req
79. Bulba.
Copy !req
80. Pika?
Copy !req
81. Pikachu.
Copy !req
82. Bulbasaur.
Copy !req
83. - Pika.
- Bulba.
Copy !req
84. Pika Pika. Pikachu.
Pika Pika.
Copy !req
85. Bulbasaur. Bulba.
Bulbasaur-saur. Bulba Bulbasaur-saur.
Copy !req
86. - Pika, Pika.
- Bulba, Bulbasaur.
Copy !req
87. Pikachu.
Copy !req
88. Bulba...
Copy !req
89. - Bulba! Ugh!
- Pika, pika?
Copy !req
90. - Bulbasaur!
Pika, Pika.
Copy !req
91. Bulbasaur. Bulba. Bulbasaur. Bulba.
Bulbasaur. Bulba. Bulba.
Copy !req
92. Pika! Pika!
Copy !req
93. Bulba!
Copy !req
94. Bulba! Bulba! Bulba!
Bulba! Bulba!
Copy !req
95. Pika. Pika!
- Bulba!
Copy !req
96. - That makes a thousand badges.
- Pika Pi! Pikachu!
Copy !req
97. - Hey, we're trying to sleep, Ash.
- What's the matter, Pikachu?
Copy !req
98. Pika Pika! Pika.
Copy !req
99. You mean something happened
to Bulbasaur?
Copy !req
100. Pika!
Copy !req
101. Um! Hey! Bulbasaur isn't in the room.
Copy !req
102. Pikachu, what happened?
Do you know where it went?
Copy !req
103. Pikachu.
Copy !req
104. Oh, this place is dreamy.
Copy !req
105. It makes me feel
just like a princess in a fairy tale.
Copy !req
106. I feel another sneeze coming.
I hate this sparkly stuff.
Copy !req
107. - I have allergies.
- And I'm allergic to your whining.
Copy !req
108. You both give me a rash.
Quit your jabbering. We got a job to do.
Copy !req
109. Yes! We're going to get you, Pikachu.
Copy !req
110. And there ain't nothing to it
but to do it.
Copy !req
111. - Woo, it's a Bulbasaur bonanza.
- A Bulbasaur blow-out.
Copy !req
112. A breathtaking
Bulbasaur bargain bazaar.
Copy !req
113. And they're all ours.
Copy !req
114. Bulbasaur!
Copy !req
115. Our Bulbasaur bonanza went bust.
Copy !req
116. Looks like Team Rocket's...
Copy !req
117. Blasting off again.
Copy !req
118. Which way, Pikachu?
Copy !req
119. - Pika.
- Hurry!
Copy !req
120. Ouch. Those Bulbasaur
are going to pay for this.
Copy !req
121. We won't take this lying down.
Copy !req
122. This way.
Follow that stream of pollen.
Copy !req
123. It should lead us straight to Bulbasaur.
Copy !req
124. We must be near the mysterious garden.
Copy !req
125. Ah! What's that?
Copy !req
126. This whole forest is going crazy. Huh?
Copy !req
127. Look, those vines are trying
to block our way.
Copy !req
128. There's no way a bunch of stupid vines are
going to stop me from rescuing Bulbasaur.
Copy !req
129. Dive through!
Copy !req
130. Oh, that was a close one.
Copy !req
131. Ugh. Now I'm beginning to understand
Copy !req
132. why nobody's seen
the Mysterious Garden before.
Copy !req
133. There's only one way to go now,
into the garden.
Copy !req
134. Pika!
- What is it, Pikachu?
Copy !req
135. Wow, this must be the Mysterious Garden.
Copy !req
136. Bulba! Bulba! Bulbasaur!
Bulba! Bulba! Bulbasaur!
Copy !req
137. Bulba! Bulba! Bulbasaur!
Bulba! Bulba! Bulbasaur!
Copy !req
138. Bulba! Bulba! Bulbasaur!
Bulba! Bulba! Bulbasaur!
Copy !req
139. Bulba! Bulba! Bulbasaur!
Bulba...
Copy !req
140. - Wow! That's neat.
- Oh, it's so pretty.
Copy !req
141. What's that banging sound?
Copy !req
142. Saur!
Copy !req
143. - Look, you guys, it's a Venusaur.
- It's giant.
Copy !req
144. Venusaur, the final form
of the Bulbasaur evolution.
Copy !req
145. This seed Pokémon soaks up
the sun's rays as a source of energy.
Copy !req
146. Hmm, but that kind of behavior
makes it sound like a plant.
Copy !req
147. I don't see my Bulbasaur
anyplace around here.
Copy !req
148. Hey, Ash, your Bulbasaur still
has that bandage on its head.
Copy !req
149. - Hmm.
- Ka!
Copy !req
150. Hey, there it is.
Over here, Bulba... Urgh.
Copy !req
151. Hey, don't forget human beings
aren't supposed to be here.
Copy !req
152. - Oh, right.
- Let's watch the festival.
Copy !req
153. - Saur!
Saur
Copy !req
154. - Saur!
Saur
Copy !req
155. - Saur!
Saur
Copy !req
156. - Saur!
Saur
Copy !req
157. - Saur!
Saur
Copy !req
158. Bulbasaur.
Copy !req
159. - Saur!
Saur
Copy !req
160. - Saur!
Saur
Copy !req
161. How do we get in there?
Copy !req
162. Why doesn't Meowth just scratch
his way through with his claws?
Copy !req
163. I just filed them.
Copy !req
164. - All right, garden wall, you axed for it.
- We're the toughest team you ever saw.
Copy !req
165. Let's cut to the chase.
Copy !req
166. A timber-tantrum, eh?
Let's get to the root of its problem.
Copy !req
167. I think its bite is as bad as its bark.
Copy !req
168. - Ivysaur.
- All right.
Copy !req
169. The seed Pokémon Ivysaur.
Copy !req
170. Bulbasaur's evolved form.
Copy !req
171. The bulb on its back absorbs nourishment
and blooms into a large flower.
Copy !req
172. - Saur!
Saur
Copy !req
173. - Saur!
Saur
Copy !req
174. This must be their evolution festival.
Copy !req
175. For a long time,
people have disagreed
Copy !req
176. whether Bulbasaur is an animal type
Pokémon or a plant type.
Copy !req
177. If either plants or animals disappeared
from the planet, life wouldn't go on.
Copy !req
178. They need each other to live and grow.
Copy !req
179. Pika.
Copy !req
180. Maybe the Bulbasaur are a sign
that all life on earth is connected.
Copy !req
181. Maybe you're right.
Copy !req
182. I wonder if my Bulbasaur's
going to evolve too.
Copy !req
183. - Ah!
- Huh?
Copy !req
184. Hmm, it's not evolving.
Copy !req
185. Why not?
Copy !req
186. it looks like it's trying not to evolve.
Copy !req
187. Pika.
Copy !req
188. Venus... Venusaur.
Copy !req
189. - Venusaur.
- Bulba.
Copy !req
190. - Venus. Venusaur.
- Bulba. Bulbasaur.
Copy !req
191. Venusaur. Venusaur. Venusaur.
Copy !req
192. Bulbasaur. Bulba. Bulba.
Bulbasaur. Saur.
Copy !req
193. Venusaur. Venusaur!
Copy !req
194. Venusaur.
Copy !req
195. Bulbasaur.
Copy !req
196. The others are getting
really angry at Bulbasaur.
Copy !req
197. I wonder why.
Copy !req
198. Bulbasaur's even more stubborn
than you.
Copy !req
199. - Venusaur!
- Bulba!
Copy !req
200. - Hey!
- Pika!
Copy !req
201. - Leave it alone.
- Pika.
Copy !req
202. - Pika Pik!
- Bulbasaur!
Copy !req
203. - Ash.
- Are you okay?
Copy !req
204. - Ven...
- Asaur.
Copy !req
205. - Are they mad at us too?
- I don't think they're too thrilled.
Copy !req
206. Venusaur.
Copy !req
207. Sorry we broke in on your festival
Copy !req
208. but the Bulbasaur
you're angry at is my friend.
Copy !req
209. The reason you're so mad is
because it doesn't want to evolve, right?
Copy !req
210. Venusaur!
Copy !req
211. You probably feel like it ruined your
festival and I'm very sorry about that.
Copy !req
212. But if Bulbasaur doesn't
want to evolve yet,
Copy !req
213. I don't think you should
have right to force it to.
Copy !req
214. Venusaur!
Copy !req
215. Whoa, they're manipulating nature.
Copy !req
216. If Bulbasaur evolves,
it could do that too.
Copy !req
217. Don't you want to have
that kind of power, Bulbasaur?
Copy !req
218. Bulba.
Copy !req
219. Sorry I got so excited about you evolving
Copy !req
220. without even thinking about
whether you wanted to do it or not.
Copy !req
221. Bulbasaur.
Copy !req
222. Now, look, you can't just force
Bulbasaur to do what you want.
Copy !req
223. Bulbasaur has a right to decide
when it's ready to evolve.
Copy !req
224. The pest is right.
- Saur?
Copy !req
225. You've got to choose your own path.
Copy !req
226. And when our path to
the Mysterious Garden was blocked...
Copy !req
227. We decided to rise above it all.
Copy !req
228. And we provide our own hot air.
Copy !req
229. Now we'll have to prepare for trouble.
Copy !req
230. Prepare for trouble.
Make it double.
Copy !req
231. To protect the world from devastation.
Copy !req
232. To unite all peoples within our nation.
Copy !req
233. To denounce the evils of truth and love.
Copy !req
234. To extend our reach to the stars above.
Copy !req
235. - Jessie.
- James.
Copy !req
236. Team Rocket,
blast off at the speed of light.
Copy !req
237. Surrender now or prepare to fight.
Copy !req
238. Stop wasting time.
Start the machine up.
Copy !req
239. - We need the motto.
- Our fans have come to expect it.
Copy !req
240. Let's get started.
Copy !req
241. Here we go... again.
Copy !req
242. - Hit it.
- Suction on.
Copy !req
243. Bulbasaur!
Copy !req
244. - It's a vacuum!
- No kidding!
Copy !req
245. - It's really working.
- It's a suck-cess.
Copy !req
246. Saur! Bulbasaur!
Copy !req
247. It's trying to save them.
Copy !req
248. - Turn up the suction full-power.
- Roger.
Copy !req
249. Venusaur!
Copy !req
250. Pikachu, use your thunder
to bring down their balloon.
Copy !req
251. - Pika.
- No, wait!
Copy !req
252. A thunder attack might hurt
the Ivysaur that Team Rocket captured.
Copy !req
253. - We got to do something.
- Pika!
Copy !req
254. - Ah! Pikachu!
- Pika!
Copy !req
255. - Saur!
- Pika Pi! Pi, pika, ka.
Copy !req
256. Pikachu!
- Pika pi.
Copy !req
257. Thanks, Bulbasaur.
Copy !req
258. Try to let the air out of their balloon
with your Razor Leaf attack.
Copy !req
259. Bulbasaur!
Copy !req
260. - Oh!
- Bulba.
Copy !req
261. Venus.
Copy !req
262. All that's left is a puny, little
Bulbasaur. Should we get it?
Copy !req
263. A Bulbasaur? Ha, ha.
Copy !req
264. Who needs a Bulbasaur?
Copy !req
265. Bulba!
Copy !req
266. - What a wimp.
You can keep that runt.
Copy !req
267. Hey, stop making fun of my Bulbasaur.
Copy !req
268. Bulba! Bulba!
Copy !req
269. What's that?
Copy !req
270. Solarbeam, Bulbasaur's strongest attack.
Copy !req
271. Light is collected and formed
into a powerful beam with intensive force.
Copy !req
272. Like a super strong sunbeam.
I didn't know you could do that.
Copy !req
273. Bulba.
Copy !req
274. Okay, Bulbasaur,
get ready to use your Solarbeam.
Copy !req
275. - Pika!
- Bulbasaur! Bulbasaur! Bulbasaur!
Copy !req
276. Fire the Solarbeam!
Copy !req
277. Bulba!
Copy !req
278. Smoking.
Copy !req
279. Bulba!
Copy !req
280. Bulbasaur! Bulbasaur! Bulbasaur!
Bulbasaur! Bulbasaur! Bulbasaur...
Copy !req
281. Venusaur.
Copy !req
282. Bulbasaur.
Copy !req
283. - Things look bad.
- Oh, they're about to get worse.
Copy !req
284. Saur!
Copy !req
285. - Saur!
- Saur!
Copy !req
286. Team Rocket's blasting off again.
Copy !req
287. - Great job, Bulbasaur.
- Bulbasaur.
Copy !req
288. - That was amazing.
- You're the greatest.
Copy !req
289. Uh-oh.
Copy !req
290. Venusaur.
Copy !req
291. Bulba.
Copy !req
292. Bulbasaur.
Copy !req
293. - I guess Venusaur finally understands.
- I think you're right.
Copy !req
294. Pikachu.
Copy !req
295. Hey. The Mysterious Garden.
Copy !req
296. After the evolution festival,
it must disappear.
Copy !req
297. Yeah, I'm sure glad
we were here to see it.
Copy !req
298. Goodbye, Venusaur and Ivysaur.
Copy !req
299. I hope we see you again.
See you later.
Copy !req
300. - Bulbasaur.
- Pikachu.
Copy !req
301. And so Ash and his friends
leave the incredible Mysterious Garden.
Copy !req
302. No one knows if or when Bulbasaur
will finally decide to evolve.
Copy !req
303. No one, that is, except Bulbasaur.
Copy !req
304. Bulbasaur.
Copy !req
305. Okay, guys,
we gotta rap some Pokémon.
Copy !req
306. You just do the singing.
I'll take care of the hard part.
Copy !req
307. Let's get it on!
Copy !req
308. Thirty-two down, that's it for now.
Copy !req
309. Tune in tomorrow,
we'll rap at you some more.
Copy !req
310. There's 150,
so watch Monday through Friday.
Copy !req
311. You'll catch 'em all!
Copy !req
