00:19E-O-K-E-M-O-N!
00:21Pokemon!
00:22Old friends, new adventures, never-before-seen stories from the world of Pokemon!
00:29Gotta catch em, gotta catch em, gotta catch em all, Pokemon!
00:32Gotta catch em, gotta catch em, gotta catch em all, Pokemon!
00:39Here at the Oak Lab in Pallet Town, life carries on as usual.
00:43The sun is shining, the sky is blue, and the Pokemon are happy.
00:48But all that can change in the blink of an eye.
00:50One small event that may seem harmless at the time can cause a chain reaction that will grow and grow until,
00:57before you know it, things are out of control.
01:00Just watch.
01:01Batman, Batman, Batman!
01:13Boop-boop-boop!
01:14Boop-boop-boop-boop-boop!
01:16Wah-wah!
01:17Wah-wah!
01:18Deshalb!
01:19Oh, no.
01:23Oh, no.
01:26Ah!
01:27Ah!
01:28Ah!
01:43Oh!
01:44Shut up!
01:45Shut up!
01:49Like I said, what starts as a small event can turn into a stampede,
01:55and this one's headed right for Professor Oak's lab.
01:58Sorry.
02:02Journey to the starting line.
02:11No, Muck, stay out.
02:13Muck's been following me around all day.
02:16Ah, it just wants to play.
02:18Huh?
02:19Professor Oak, aren't you always telling the Pokémon not to skip breakfast
02:22and that it's the most important meal of the day?
02:24I know, I know.
02:25I was just going to eat.
02:27I just had to run those Jirachi reports.
02:29I've also heard you tell him it's bad to eat too fast,
02:32but you better hurry up and scarf that down.
02:34You've got to finish the health check-up exam on Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander,
02:38because the mayor's son is coming to start his journey and pick out his Pokémon today, remember?
02:42He's coming today?
02:43I told you.
02:44That must be him now.
02:46Here, look over this information.
02:49Hmm.
02:50Coming!
02:51Let's see here.
02:52Oh, looks like his dad.
02:54The mayor's been a big supporter of this lab.
02:56Better make this son of his happy.
02:58I'll be right there.
03:03Maybe they're all out back, Mr. Mime.
03:05Mr. Mime.
03:06Oh, hi there, Mrs. Ketchum.
03:09I, uh, brought the herbs the Professor asked me to bring him yesterday.
03:14Tracy, you okay?
03:17Sure, couldn't be better.
03:19Do you need a hand?
03:21No, I'm okay, but thanks.
03:23Okay, open your mouth.
03:27Ah, good boy.
03:29Hmm?
03:30Mrs. Ketchum, you brought the herbs.
03:32I hear the mayor's son is coming.
03:34That's right.
03:35He'll be choosing which one of these Pokémon he wants to start his journey with.
03:38So how are they, Professor?
03:39Are they ready to go?
03:40These three are in top shape.
03:42We're all set.
03:44What is that?
03:49What's with them?
03:59Bulbasaur.
04:00Bulbasaur, what's going on here?
04:03Uh-oh, the little ones.
04:04We've got to go catch them.
04:05Cool, a hole in the wall.
04:06Huh?
04:07What happened here?
04:08Did you blow something up?
04:09You must be the mayor, son.
04:10Nice to meet you.
04:11I think your father is really...
04:12Hmm.
04:13I'd rather you didn't sit in that chair.
04:14I'm very protective of my...
04:15So what you got?
04:16Tell me you've got a Torchic here.
04:17I really want a Torchic so I can evolve it into a Blaziken.
04:19Torchic?
04:20If you don't have one I can settle for a Tree Coat or a Mud Kip or a whatever.
04:33Oh?
04:34I just don't want to get stuck with Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle.
04:37What's wrong with them?
04:38Everyone starts with them, they're so lame.
04:41Char.
04:42There's this one new kid and he came from Holland and he's got this awesome Vigoroth and it's really cool.
04:47You don't happen to have one of those, do you?
04:49Gilbert, that's just not the way it works around here.
04:51First time Pallet Town trainers don't just walk in and say give me this and that Pokemon.
04:55You have to pick from either Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle.
04:58Oh, but those three aren't cool.
05:01Right now it doesn't matter.
05:03The three new Pokemon we prepared for you seem to have kind of...
05:06Well, they've run away and we...
05:08They ran away?
05:10Try not to be disappointed.
05:13Well look, if that's the case then I guess I can settle with Pikachu.
05:16I remember there was one kid who got a Pikachu when he started and I hear he's been pretty successful in the Pokemon League.
05:22Oh, that's my son Ash you're talking about but there were special circumstances that day.
05:26Quite special.
05:27Oh yes, of course.
05:28What do you mean special? I'm special too, you know.
05:31I'm the mayor's son and there's no way I'm leaving here today without my very own Pikachu.
05:36Although maybe I should choose Raichu instead of Pikachu.
05:40That way I won't have to worry about raising it and evolving it and all that other annoying stuff.
05:44Uh, annoying?
05:46Gilbert, raising your Pokemon is fun.
05:49It's not annoying, it's the whole point of even becoming a Pokemon trainer.
05:52You and your Pokemon grow up together and you evolve together and you learn from each other and you share experiences and adventures and you...
05:59Calm down Tracy.
06:00Gilbert, like I said we don't have time to talk, we have a job to do.
06:04We've got to go catch those runaway Pokemon before something bad happens to them.
06:08Let's split up.
06:09Mrs. Ketchum, you go look with Tracy and Mr. Mime.
06:12Great.
06:13Sure.
06:14Mime.
06:15Gilbert, why don't you come with me and Bulbasaur?
06:17Uh, why do I have to go?
06:24Professor, we're gonna go look by the river.
06:26We'll meet you back at that corner in half an hour.
06:28Sounds good.
06:29Here, take these along with you.
06:30Starter Pokeballs.
06:31Perfect for the little ones.
06:33Be sure to put the Pokemon in these when you find them, that way we won't lose them again.
06:37Right.
06:38Mr. Mime.
06:39You and I'll go look around the mountains.
06:41Publisher.
06:42Oh, what about the valley?
06:43We won't have to climb as much.
06:45Professor Oak, the new issue of Pokemon Monthly just came in and there's a great article about Lugia sightings.
06:50Sounds neat, but I'll have to come back and look at it later.
06:54What's the word?
06:55Is something bad going on?
06:56Well, there was a little mishap of sorts at the lab and the new Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle ran off just when the mayor's son here was coming by to pick one out.
07:04Uh, don't tell anyone about this, though. The whole thing's kind of embarrassing.
07:08You can count on me.
07:09I'll come back for the magazine. Hold one for me.
07:12Of course.
07:13Let's go, Gilbert.
07:14Yeah, yeah.
07:19Don't tell anyone!
07:23She'll never keep her mouth shut, you know.
07:25Uh, what?
07:26That lady's got the biggest mouth in Palat Town. You should've never told her you lost the baby Pokemon. She's gonna tell everybody.
07:32No, she won't. I asked her not to.
07:34Good grief. You may be a renowned Pokemon expert, but you don't really know too much when it comes to people, do you?
07:39Well, who would she tell?
07:40Yo, yo! What's up, my peppy Talatown peeps? The latest word from the street is that baby Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander said see ya to the Oak Lab and took off!
07:50And the mayor's son was supposed to pick one of these to be his Pokemon today!
07:54Since Mama DJ Say upset the mayor last week with her radio skits, she'd like to get on his good side.
07:59So I'm offering a reward for anyone with good info leading to these three little runaways.
08:03Okay, now it's time to shake!
08:05You're listening to WPOK!
08:10Hey! Bulbasaur!
08:20Here, little Squirtle!
08:22Charmander!
08:24Maybe we should look around in town.
08:26Mr. Mine!
08:28Charmander!
08:30Charmander! Don't do that!
08:32Get back! You'll fall in!
08:34Charmander, no! Stay away from the water!
08:38If your flame goes out, you'll never be able to battle!
08:46Hurry!
08:48Don't worry, little Charmander! I'm coming for ya!
08:50Charm!
08:52Be careful, Tracy! Don't let its tail get wet!
08:54Mr. Mime!
08:58Mr. Mime! Lift him up with Psychic!
09:00Mr. Mime!
09:02Thanks, Mr. Mime!
09:12Hey, you okay, little Charmander?
09:14Charm... Charm!
09:16Oh, good!
09:17Way to come through, Mr. Mime!
09:19Mr. Mime!
09:20Okay, Charmander, return!
09:22Great! Now we just gotta find Bulbasaur and Squirtle!
09:30Did we really have to climb all the way up here?
09:34Stop looking down! There's no way you can fall!
09:36There's plenty of room here on the ledge!
09:38You should just try to keep an eye out for the missing Pokémon!
09:40How can I not look down when we're this high up?
09:46You'll be going to scarier places and climbing higher mountains on your adventures, you know?
09:52Yeah, but by then I'll have all kinds of super powerful Pokémon with me to protect me, right?
09:57That's why I don't want to start out with any weak Pokémon!
10:01That was scary!
10:05I'm not sure you have the right attitude here, Gilbert.
10:07Maybe you should just call it quits and go home.
10:10Huh?
10:11Wait!
10:12Hang on a minute!
10:13Call it quits and go home?
10:15All right!
10:16I thought you'd never say that!
10:18Huh?
10:19Squirtle!
10:20What?
10:21That sounded like...
10:22Squirtle!
10:23Squirtle!
10:24It's Squirtle!
10:25I'm a shark!
10:26It's gonna fall!
10:28Squirtle!
10:29Squirtle!
10:30Hang on!
10:31I'm a shark!
10:32What do we do?
10:35Oh, wait, I just quit!
10:36Later!
10:37Oh!
10:38Oh!
10:39Oh!
10:40Oh!
10:41Oh!
10:42Oh!
10:43Oh!
10:45Oh!
10:46Oh!
10:47Oh!
10:54You all right, Gilbert?
10:55Uh, yeah!
10:56Squirtle!
10:57Huh?
10:58Huh?
10:59Squirtle!
11:00Whoa, thank you for that Bulbasaur.
11:10Bulbasaur.
11:17Bulbasaur.
11:19What are we waiting for?
11:21Why don't we just put it in the poke ball now that we've caught it and go find the other ones?
11:25Bulbasaur.
11:26Bulba.
11:28Do you find it easy to fall asleep after something frightens you?
11:31Huh?
11:32That Squirtle hasn't had any experience away from home yet, so it's not used to the outside world.
11:36This has probably been a pretty scary experience for it.
11:39Maybe you know what that's like, Gilbert. Being scared of the outside world?
11:46Anyway, Bulbasaur is just trying to make Squirtle feel comfortable.
11:50Why does it care?
11:51Because Bulbasaur is a very loving and loyal Pokemon. It likes to help out its friends whenever it can.
11:57It's a good Pokemon to have on your side.
12:04Whoa!
12:05Sorry!
12:08Bulbasaur!
12:10Bulba!
12:12Move over!
12:13Sorry?
12:15I'm a little confused about this whole situation. Excuse me, Professor. Can you help me?
12:19Of course I can help! I'm Oak and I live for Pokemon!
12:26Squirtle! Come on out!
12:34Cheer up, little Squirtle! Don't be afraid!
12:37Well, I tried.
12:45Well, I tried.
12:49Squirtle! Squirtle! Squirtle! Squirtle! Squirtle!
12:53There you are.
12:56Look! You're flying now.
12:58I know!
13:05Professor, any luck?
13:07We found Charmander.
13:08We caught Squirtle, literally.
13:10So Bulbasaur's the only one left.
13:12Professor!
13:13Professor Oak, if you're out there, come to the station immediately!
13:18I know you told me not to say anything, but I wanted to help!
13:22My phones have been off the hook because of people calling in left and right with Bulbasaur sightings.
13:26The first one was Mr. Garrison. He found the little cutie napping in his garden.
13:30He tried to catch it in his net, but it got away.
13:32Looks like it went into Mr. Tango's house from there.
13:34Inside his house?
13:35Mr. Tango's got this huge collection of Pokémon figurines, and he suddenly noticed he had two Bulbasaur instead of one!
13:42This Pokémon sounds pretty funny.
13:45After it ran away from there, it decided to come spend some time hanging out in my veggie section.
13:50I couldn't believe it when I saw a vegetable start moving! I almost hopped on the radio to declare a state of emergency!
13:59I just seen this movie last night about monster vegetables attacking from outer space!
14:03Did you manage to catch it?
14:05Little dervish ran right between my feet!
14:07Hello?
14:11Hello?
14:12No!
14:13Yeah?
14:14Where?
14:15Which direction?
14:16This sounds like it might be a promising lead!
14:18Miss Owen on the east side of town says a Pokémon that she thinks might have been your Bulbasaur ran through her house being chased by a group of wild mankeys just now!
14:26We ought to get over there right away!
14:28Right!
14:29We know where those mankeys usually hang out, don't we, Bulbasaur?
14:32Hub!
14:33Those aren't mankeys! Those are primates!
14:40That's the evolved form of mankeys, so it's an easy mistake!
14:44Whatever they are, they don't look very nice!
14:47You should see them when they get angry! They lose control and start bubbling!
14:51Look! Up there in the tree!
14:55It's Bulbasaur!
14:56It must have gone up there to get away from the primates!
14:59Mine is mine!
15:00I have no idea how we're gonna get it down!
15:02Forget it! We don't have to get it down!
15:05I'll just take Ash's Bulbasaur!
15:07It's at a high level and it knows Vine Whip already! It'll be great!
15:10Gilbert, you can't!
15:11And what? We leave little Bulbasaur up in the tree?
15:14Uh...
15:15Oh, well, no, I guess I wasn't thinking...
15:22Okay, put your gloves down! No need to get angry and make those faces!
15:26I'm just here to get that little Bulbasaur out of that tree!
15:29I'm not looking for a battle or anything!
15:31That didn't work!
15:34They're pretty riled up!
15:36Okay, Mr. Mime! Use Psychic while he's got their attention!
15:40Mr. Mime!
15:42Papa!
15:48That's good! Keep going, Mr. Mime!
15:50Yeah, almost there!
15:53Uh...
15:54Uh...
15:55Uh...
15:56Two!
15:57Huh?
15:58Papa!
15:59Papa!
16:00Ah!
16:01Ah!
16:02They're about to use thrash attack!
16:05Papa!
16:06Not good!
16:07It's bad enough when one primate gets angry and starts thrashing about, let alone an entire group!
16:14Let alone an entire group!
16:15Ah!
16:16Ah!
16:17Everybody!
16:19Ah!
16:20Ah!
16:23Ah!
16:25Ah!
16:26Ah!
16:27Ah!
16:40Shoo, go away!
16:50Where'd you come from?
16:53Papasaur!
16:54Papasaur!
16:56We're missing Gilbert and little Bulbasaur!
16:58Papasaur!
17:10Oh, no!
17:11Papasaur!
17:11Ah!
17:14Papasaur!
17:15It sure doesn't look good!
17:19Papasaur!
17:23No more being afraid!
17:26Papasaur!
17:27Just stay behind me, I'm gonna take care of this!
17:30Come on, you primates, bring it on!
17:36Papasaur!
17:37Papasaur!
17:39Papasaur!
17:40Papasaur!
17:41Papasaur!
17:44Wait, what about you?
17:46Papasaur!
17:50Papasaur, how are you gonna get across?
17:52Papasaur!
17:53Papasaur!
18:03Papasaur!
18:04Papasaur!
18:07Papasaur!
18:08Papasaur!
18:09Papasaur!
18:10P
18:37Bulbasaur!
18:47Hey, Professor. Thanks. Bulbasaur and I are going to be great partners.
18:52Good to see you're not scared to go out into the world anymore, Gilbert. You've really come out of your shell.
18:57Thanks. Well, I guess it's time to start my journey.
19:00Take care of yourself.
19:01Be sure to come back to Pallet Town sometime and tell us all about your adventures.
19:05Okay. See you later.
19:08So long. Journey well.
19:11Bye, Gilberts.
19:13Take good care of Bulbasaur.
19:15Bulbasaur!
19:18Bulbasaur, thanks so much for everything. I'll see you again.
19:26Sorry.
19:29A good trainer will catch a lot of Pokémon on his journey,
19:32but no bond is more special than the one between a trainer and his very first Pokémon.
19:37They start their journey together, and along the way they learn from each other
19:41and grow to be strong and powerful friends.
19:44.
19:49.
19:53.
19:55.
19:59.
20:04.
20:05.
20:07.
