The Search for the Legend
While taking a voyage on the SS Anne, Ritchie meets a trainer called Silver, who is on his way to battle Moltres with two Professors from the Bogus Fake University of Science. However, the "professors" are really Butch and Cassidy, and they want to capture Moltres for Team Rocket.

00:00Gotta catch em! Gotta catch em! Gotta catch em all! Pokemon!
00:08P-O-K-E-M-O-N! Party!
00:11P-O-K-E-M-O-N! Pokemon!
00:15P-O-K-E-M-O-N! P-O-K-E-M-O-N! P-O-K-E-M-O-N!
00:22Old friends, new adventures, never-before-seen stories from the world of Pokemon!
00:29P-O-K-E-M-O-N! P-O-K-E-M-O-N! P-O-K-E-M-O-N!
00:38Continuing his long and challenging journey to become a Pokemon master, Richie, along with his trusty Pikachu Sparky, sails on board the S.S. Anne, bound for new adventures!
00:52What's that?
00:59We're in hostile waters, people! We've got wild Gyarados blocking our way! Please return to your cabins and try to remain calm!
01:06What are you gonna do?
01:08Huh?
01:09We'll turn around real calm and quiet-like and take the northern route. It'll take longer, but we don't have much of a choice.
01:15Let's do it, Salamence!
01:17Salamence?
01:19Salamence, a dragon Pokemon, fully evolved form of Bagon, equipped with sharp teeth and massive claws, weighs over 200 pounds, and has the fastest flying speed of all the flying type Pokemon!
01:28Salamence, a dragon PokƩmon, fully evolved form of Bagon,
01:32equipped with sharp teeth and massive claws, weighs over 200 pounds,
01:35and has the fastest flying speed of all the flying-type PokƩmon.
01:39I don't have time to let a couple of overgrown Magikarp block my way.
01:43Let's go, Salamence Hyper Beam!
01:53What are you standing around for?
01:55Go and tell that skipper of yours to get this little thingy going again.
01:58Uh, okay.
02:00All right, Salamence, return!
02:05That was awesome!
02:06I can't believe you scared all four of those Gyarados away with only one strike!
02:10Peek-a-peek-a!
02:11Those things are nothing compared to the PokƩmon I'm gonna be battling soon.
02:14Huh?
02:15Pretty soon I'm gonna be face-to-face with Moltres.
02:18With Moltres?
02:20Peek-a!
02:22The Search for the Legend!
02:25Moltres, a legendary PokƩmon rumored to live forever.
02:31One flap of its wings can wash the darkest night sky in a bright crimson light.
02:37But, uh, no one knows where or when Moltres appears, mister.
02:40The name's Silver, not Mister.
02:42And if you know what's good for you, that's what you'll call me.
02:44Got that, kid?
02:45Well, I got a name too, and it's not kid.
02:47It's Richie, and I'm a PokƩmon trainer.
02:49Haha!
02:50Okay, whatever you say, Half-Pint.
02:52Silver, are you picking fights again?
02:55You've already gotten us kicked out of three hotels, two shops, and one PokƩmon center.
02:58Who are you guys?
02:59I'm Dr. Louise Armstrong, and I'm a researcher from the Bogus Fake Institute of Science.
03:04And I'm Dr. Sechmo.
03:06Does this mean your Institute discovered where Moltres is going to appear next?
03:09Haha!
03:10Where would you get an idea like that?
03:12No one knows that kid, not even experts like us!
03:15But Silver just said he was going to battle Moltres, and if he's with you...
03:18Silver's taken one too many vine whips to the head.
03:21Maybe you should go back to the cabin and lie down.
03:23Maybe you should stop telling me what I should do!
03:25I may have agreed to help you out, but get this straight.
03:28You will never touch me again, pal.
03:30Unless you want both your hands fed to Salamence, you got that?
03:33Got it?
03:34See you later, Shortstack!
03:36They're hiding something.
03:40Look Sparky, a volcano!
03:46It's so cool!
03:49Dangerous too.
03:51You mean it's active?
03:53Oh yeah.
03:54They say this baby could blow at any minute.
03:56They evacuated the entire island just in case.
03:59We only stopped here to fuel up real quick.
04:01Wow!
04:02Pekka?
04:04Huh?
04:09Well, time to push off.
04:10Uh, I hear my mom calling.
04:12Huh?
04:13Pekka?
04:14Hey, where you going, kid?
04:15Hey, Sparky, are you okay?
04:25Let's go catch up with those guys.
04:36Hey, wait up!
04:38I have to ask you...
04:39Huh?
04:41Have fun!
04:42I told you my name is Richie.
04:44Whoever you are, you shouldn't be here.
04:46If Moltres is gonna be here, I wanna see it.
04:48Peka Pika!
04:49We don't know where Moltres is!
04:51We just came here to study a couple of rocks!
04:53Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
04:55This little fellow's not gonna buy that.
04:58You might as well tell him the truth so we can move on, right Shikorita?
05:01Chikorita?
05:02Chikorita!
05:03Dr. Satchmo, why don't you start us off?
05:05Listen close, kid, because I'm only explaining this once.
05:08As you know, Moltres sightings are rare.
05:10And to the untrained eye, they may be completely random.
05:13However, we at the Bogus Fake Institute have collected and analyzed hundreds of witness reports.
05:18We examined when and where Moltres appeared, and what we discovered was,
05:22there's a distinct pattern involving these volcanic islands!
05:25And so, based on this pattern, we predict that Moltres will appear on this island tomorrow.
05:29It'll be here?
05:30That's right. It'll appear up there, on the summit of Mount Magma.
05:35We've kept it secret, because otherwise there'd be tourists and news crews
05:39and maybe even some greedy trophy hunters and evil duotypes showing up.
05:42And that would significantly interfere with our important research.
05:45Uh, what kind of research is that?
05:47Our institute has reason to believe that it might be possible to harness the energy in Moltres' fire
05:52and use it as a power source.
05:53But obviously we can't walk up to Moltres and say,
05:55hey, Moltres, please give us some of that fire.
05:58And so, we're gonna have Silver here engage in a battle with Moltres.
06:02When it lowers its guard, we can hopefully catch some of its fire to study.
06:05Wow! Awesome!
06:07Huh. Pretty long and boring explanation if you ask me.
06:12Look, kid. The point is this. Moltres will appear.
06:15And when it does, it's gonna be the battle of a lifetime.
06:18Right, Chikorita?
06:19Chika! Chika!
06:20Let's go! We've gotta hurry up and get to the top before we miss it!
06:23What do you mean, we?
06:25As much as we would really love to have a little kid tagging along with us,
06:28we can't have a little kid tagging along with us.
06:30It's way too dangerous.
06:32I'm not a little kid. I can take care of myself.
06:34You guys won't even know I'm here.
06:35Forget it, Half-Pint. We can't have you slowing us down.
06:38But I won't slow you down.
06:41I'll say hi to Moltres for you.
06:43Chikorita!
06:44Chikorita!
06:47We are gonna climb to the top of this volcano, Sparky,
06:50and we're gonna see Moltres!
06:51Chikorita!
07:07This looks like a good place to set up camp for the night.
07:14It's so dark!
07:16This reminds me of that time we got lost in the caves of Mt. Moon.
07:19You remember that, Sparky?
07:21Chikorita!
07:22Rogue Cherry to Rocket Studios, please come in.
07:24Shh!
07:27How's the operation going?
07:29Excellent, sir.
07:30The Neanderthal doesn't seem to suspect a thing.
07:33And you're sure you have all your equipment ready?
07:35The electromagnetic nets are loaded and turbocharged.
07:38As soon as he weakens it, Moltres will be ours!
07:41I'm sure I don't have to say this, but I'll say it anyway.
07:44This could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so don't mess it up!
07:47Yes, sir.
07:48You can count on us!
07:49We won't let you down.
07:50Good.
07:51Now, one more thing, and this is important, so listen.
07:54You may have to...
07:55Huh?
07:56Huh?
08:02I must have imagined it.
08:05Yeah, me too.
08:06Okay, now what were you saying, sir?
08:10Is everything all right?
08:12What's going on?
08:13It's nothing, Professor.
08:14We just heard something.
08:15So was it nothing or something?
08:17Something wrong?
08:19No, we just came out for some fresh air.
08:21He meant to say a walk, right?
08:23Right.
08:24A walk.
08:25You should be careful walking in the dark.
08:27One wrong step and you'll be back at the bottom.
08:30Excellent advice.
08:31We'll keep that in mind.
08:33How's it going down there, kid?
08:39You know, there's a path.
08:40You don't have to climb.
08:42I figured it's more fun this way.
08:44Why walk when you can climb?
08:45That's what I've always said.
08:47Chikorita, Vine Whip, hurry!
08:50Chikorita!
09:01You're lucky I came along, kid.
09:03Something's not right about those doctors.
09:05I heard them talking to someone on a radio about getting Moltres,
09:08and does he suspect this, and something about electromagnetic nets?
09:12Forget about them.
09:13Huh?
09:14As long as I get to battle Moltres, that's all that matters.
09:17Now, unless you want to hang out on that cliff some more,
09:19why don't you come join us?
09:21Chika?
09:26Hey, look!
09:27Guess who I found?
09:29You're persistent, aren't you?
09:31If you're persistent, you ought to come sit by the fire.
09:34Forgive us for being rude, but we're a little sleepy.
09:37That's okay.
09:39Good night, Pikachu!
09:41Okay, first of all, butch, persistent does not mean cold.
09:46We're supposed to be doctors.
09:48That kid might have been what we heard,
09:50and he could have heard us talking to Professor Mambo!
09:52It's Nanba!
09:56So, mister, uh, I mean, Silver, I just wanted to say,
10:00thanks a lot for not being mad at me and all for following you up here.
10:04Ah, you remind me of me when I was a kid.
10:07Huh?
10:08Climbing an active volcano in the dark without a map just to catch a glimpse of a PokƩmon?
10:12Pretty reckless stuff.
10:14Yeah, I know.
10:15I can't help it.
10:16I just get really excited about things.
10:18And when I do, I can't think about anything else.
10:23It's just like this friend of mine, a PokƩmon trainer named Ash.
10:26Uh, Ash?
10:27Yeah.
10:28He's got a real one-track mind.
10:30We're both pretty stubborn.
10:31You know, what most people call stubbornness, I call determination.
10:36I always say if something matters to you and it's worth pursuing,
10:39then no matter what, you shouldn't let anyone stop you from finding it.
10:44I agree.
10:45You know, I don't think I was a day older than you when I first set eyes on Moltres.
10:50Uh, wait a minute.
10:51You've actually seen Moltres?
10:53That's right.
10:54It was the most brilliant thing I've ever seen.
10:58It lit up the entire night sky, making the stars above it look dull in comparison.
11:03Seeing its magnificence that night changed everything for me.
11:07Finding it and battling it became my ultimate goal from that point on.
11:11It's what I've thought about and dreamt about for my whole life.
11:16And tomorrow, that dream will finally come true.
11:24Here we are, the mouth of the volcano.
11:33Sounds like those geologists knew what they were talking about when they said this old rock might erupt soon.
11:38The lava seems very restless.
11:50Am I the only one who wishes we hadn't skipped breakfast?
11:53There is a slight chance that Moltres won't even appear.
11:56Huh, I'll wait for days if need be.
11:58Wait a minute, what was that?
12:00Where?
12:04There!
12:06Is that it, Pika?
12:08It's here.
12:18Look!
12:19That's it.
12:20Moltres, a one-of-a-kind legendary flame PokƩmon.
12:23So powerful, its fire dust can bring early spring to wintery lands.
12:28Let's go, Salamence!
12:34This is it, Salamence! Hyper Beam!
12:36What happened? Its fire attack trickled out!
12:49I think something's wrong with it, Silver.
12:51Excellent! This means our data was right!
12:53This volcano is the last stop in Moltres' flight pattern. It comes here when it's at its weakest.
12:58It what?
12:59It's not as powerful as usual. Go! This is your chance!
13:03It'll be easy. Salamence'll take it out like that!
13:06Huh?
13:09Come on! Battle!
13:11Forget it!
13:12Huh?
13:13This is not the Moltres I dreamed of battling. I refuse to fight it when it's weak.
13:18He's right. It's wrong to fight when it's not well.
13:21Then I guess my partner and I'll have to take it from here.
13:24Thanks for your help! Go home now!
13:26What?!
13:27Come on out now, Tentacruel!
13:28You, Duke Loyster, and both of you attack with Water Gun!
13:33Tentacruel, Loyster...
13:37Now for the Electromagnetic Net!
13:47We got it!
13:48What do you think you're doing?
13:49You can only get a PokƩmon when you battle it with honor!
13:52Salamence, use Dragon Claw on that Electromagnetic Net now!
13:56Cut Moltres free!
14:03Those nets are expensive!
14:05Tentacruel and Cloyster attack again with Water Gun!
14:08Tentacruel and Cloyster attack again with Water Gun!
14:10Tentacruel and Cloyster...
14:11Salamence, attack with Dragon Breath!
14:19Fire!
14:20Fire!
14:25Salamence!
14:26Why don't you join it?
14:35Who are you people? What do you want?
14:37Who I am is trouble!
14:38And I make it double!
14:40Now here's our mission so you better listen!
14:42To infect the world with devastation!
14:44To blight all peoples in every nation!
14:47To denounce the goodness of truth and love!
14:49To extend our wrath to the stars above!
14:53Cassidy!
14:54And Butch of course!
14:55We're Team Rocket circling Earth all day and night!
14:58Surrender to us now!
14:59Or you'll surely lose the fight, fight, fight!
15:01Fight, fight, fight!
15:02It's those two!
15:03From Team Rocket!
15:04I should've known!
15:05Cassidy!
15:06And Biff!
15:07I just told you it's Butch!
15:08Weren't you listening to my intro?
15:09Kid, you know these two?
15:10They're villains who do bad stuff to Pokemon and are trying to take over the world!
15:14Enough talking, Butch!
15:15Attack Moltres!
15:16I was just gonna!
15:17Now!
15:18Tentacruel and Cloyce to finish it off with Water Gun!
15:28Oh, poor thing's caught in the net!
15:30Hey, if we defeat and capture a legendary Pokemon, does that make us legendary?
15:34That's not happening!
15:35Chikorita!
15:36Use Razor Leaf on this net!
15:38Chikor!
15:39Salamence, use your full power and rip yourself out of that net!
15:53Tentacruel and Cloyce to...
15:56Chikor!
15:57You're not gonna get away with this!
15:59Marky, go!
16:00Attack with Thunderbolt!
16:01Pika!
16:02Seek!
16:03Yeah!
16:04Oh, Butch!
16:05Why do our plans always end like this?
16:10It's so sad!
16:11We're never gonna amount to anything!
16:13Gah!
16:14Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!
16:21Salamence, go!
16:22Gah!
16:35Can it survive molten lava?
16:37I have no idea, kid!
16:39We can only hope!
16:49Gah!
16:52Gah!
16:53Gah!
16:54Gah!
16:55Gah!
16:56Gah!
16:57Gah!
16:58Gah!
16:59Gah!
17:00Gah!
17:01Gah!
17:02Gah!
17:03Gah!
17:04Gah!
17:05Gah!
17:06Gah!
17:07Gah!
17:08Gah!
17:09Gah!
17:10Gah!
17:11Gah!
17:12Gah!
17:13Wow!
17:14It's so much stronger now!
17:15I think I get it now!
17:16Moltres must come to this volcano when it's weak in order to regain its power from the lava!
17:21Gah!
17:22Gah!
17:23Gah!
17:24Gah!
17:25Gah!
17:26Gah!
17:27Gah!
17:28Now that's the Moltres I've waited my whole life to meet up with again!
17:31It's awesome!
17:32Yeah!
17:33Gah!
17:34Gah!
17:35What do you say to a battle, Moltres?
17:37Gah!
17:38Gah!
17:39Ghost Elements!
17:41Attack with Hyper Beam now!
17:44ģ¤ļæ½gartļæ½
17:46Trying to end ahead and fight!
17:53PokƩmon
17:54Gah!
17:55Gah!
17:56Gah!
17:57Here we go!
18:00Here we go.
18:12Way to take the hit.
18:13Now, Salamence, time for Double Team!
18:24Quickly, Salamence, follow it up with Dragon Breath!
18:30This is all I dreamed it would be.
18:47A battle to top all battles.
18:49The volcano's erupting!
18:58Sure is.
18:59You might want to get out of here, kid.
19:01Dodging lava's no fun at all.
19:02You're not gonna stay here, are you?
19:04Of course I am!
19:05Do you know how long I've waited for this?
19:07Yeah, but...
19:10Ah!
19:14Ah!
19:15Huh?
19:16Ah!
19:17Moltres just saved our lives!
19:19Ah!
19:21Hm.
19:22We gotta go!
19:23I'll fly us out of here!
19:26Salamence!
19:39I'm sorry, Silver, that you didn't get to, you know...
19:42Finish the battle!
19:44I've waited my whole life for this, kid.
19:45I've waited my whole life for this, kid.
19:47I figure...
19:48Once a little while longer.
19:50You're not getting on the ship?
19:51Nah.
19:52Salamence and I are gonna stay here until Moltres returns.
19:54I don't know when it'll be, but that's alright.
19:55I got all the time in the world.
19:56So, uh, you think we're ever gonna see each other again?
19:57Well, you're on your way to become a PokƩmon Master, aren't you?
19:58Yeah.
19:59Then swing by this island sometime when you think you're ready and we'll battle.
20:01Time it right and you can even battle Moltres.
20:02Cool!
20:03But if we do battle, I'm not going easy on you, Half-Pint.
20:04I won't go easy on you!
20:05You really are just like me, aren't you, Half-Pint?
20:06Uh...
20:07I mean...
20:08I mean...
20:09I mean...
20:10I mean...
20:11I mean...
20:12I mean...
20:13I mean...
20:14I mean...
20:15I mean...
20:16I mean...
20:17I mean...
20:18I mean...
20:19I mean...
20:20I mean...
20:21I mean...
20:22I mean...
20:23I mean...
20:24I mean...
20:25I mean...
20:26Uh...
20:27I mean...
20:28Aren't you, Richie?
20:29You can call me Half-Pint.
20:30It's kinda growing on me.
20:31Hm.
20:32Whatever you say, Shortstack.
20:33Take care of yourself.
20:34Chicka!
20:39And so, Richie got a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see the legendary PokƩmon Moltres.
20:45And as his ship sailed out to sea, he made a vow to himself.
20:48Like Silver, he would one day return to the island and battle Moltres at its strongest.
20:56äøč¦!
20:57Yahoo!
20:58We're not at all!
20:59They have no mum Nazis...
21:00No!
21:01waltada!
21:02Ya goes...
21:04No!
21:05Which...
21:06You said it...
21:07multiply!
21:09They have no cuddleaczyne!
21:10Excuse me...
21:11Take care!
21:21It's not something you're holding theıÄım one,
21:22which we'll get a free run.
21:23You, they have no...
