Let me try some-
thing I learned
today.

I didn't study
enough, I guess.

You seem to be
good at #MON.
If you are, how
about giving me
some advice?

I see. So you can
battle that way.

Fly high into the
sky, my beloved
bird #MON!

I feel like just
flying away now.

Hi! Aren't you a
cute trainer!
May I see your
#MON?

I'm glad I got to
see your #MON!

I've been over-
seas, so I know
about all sorts of
#MON!

Your skill is
world class!

Don't you think my
#MON and I are
beautiful?

We drink MOOMOO
MILK every day.

I just got back to
OLIVINE.
So how about a
#MON battle?

Awaaargh!

This is a good
time to brag about
my PIKACHU!

I had no time to
show off PIKACHU…

Such darling
#MON.
Let's show our
#MON together
at the same time.

I don't mind
losing.

Let me see what
your #MON are
capable of.

Ooh, your #MON
have potential.

To get to PRYCE,
our GYM LEADER,
you need to think
before you skate.

I wouldn't lose to
you in skiing!

I'll freeze your
#MON, so you
can't do a thing!

Darn. I couldn't
do a thing.

Check out my
parallel turn!

No! You made me
wipe out!

This GYM has a
slippery floor.
It's fun, isn't
it?
But hey--we're
not playing games
here!

Do you see how
serious we are?

I know PRYCE's
secret.

OK. I'll tell you
PRYCE's secret.

Let me demonstrate
the power of the
#MON I caught!

What? That's not
right.

Ah, it's good to
be outside!
I feel so free!

Gahahah!

HEY!
This is my secret
place! Get lost,
you outsider!

I should have used
my MOON STONE…

Aack! You made me
lose a POLIWAG!
What are you going
to do about it?

Just forget about
it.

I fish until I
can't anymore.
I also battle
until I drop.
That's my
relationship
with my #MON.

Hmmmm… 
This isn't right.

I'm gonna win,
for sure!

Arrgh… That's a
shocking loss…

I'll do anything
to get my hands on
rare #MON!

Oooh, your #MON
are so appealing.

Do you know about
the legendary bird
#MON?

Whew! You're hot
stuff.

I can tell you're
a good trainer by
looking at you.
I'm good at #-
MON, and I can see
that you are too.

Tch! It's a total
loss on my part.

You look strong.
Good trainers seek
tough opponents
instinctively.

Nope! This won't
do at all.

We stand guard in
this tower.
Here, we express
our gratitude to
honor all #MON.

Th-Thank you!

However hard we
battle, the TOWER
will stand strong.

I fought hard but
I'm too weak.

…Sway like leaves
in the wind…

Oh, I'm weak!

I train to find
enlightenment in
#MON!

My training is
incomplete…

Let me see how
much you trust
your #MON.

Yes, your trust is
real!

The ELDER's HM
lights even pitch-
black darkness.

It is my head that
is bright!

The world of
#MON is deep.
There are still
lots of things we
don't know.
But I know more
than you do!

Wha-wha-what?

My #MON are
simply darling.
Let me tell you
how proud my
darlings make me.

I can beat you in
pride, but…

We adore our #-
MON, even if they
dislike us.
That's what being
a FAN is about.

M-my #MON!

Hello? Why are you
staring at me?
Oh, a battle?

…Hmmm…

We've finally
taken over the
RADIO TOWER!
Now everyone will
get to experience
the true terror of
TEAM ROCKET!
We'll show you
how scary we are!

Too strong! We
must watch you…

Three years ago,
TEAM ROCKET was
forced to disband.
But we're making a
comeback here!

Gwah! Don't get
cute!

We're TEAM ROCKET,
the exploiters of
#MON!
We love being
evil! Scared?

You think you're a
hero?

Hey, hey! Keep out
of our way!

Arggh. I give up.

Hahaha!
How boring.
It was far too
easy to take over
this place!
Come on, keep me
amused!

Wh-who are you?

I've been given
strict orders.
I'm to crush any-
one who challenges
TEAM ROCKET!

What?!

It feels great
ordering #MON
to commit crimes.

You're kidding!

Why did the shut-
ter open? Did you
have something to
do with this?

I'm done for!

An unknown child
wandering here?
Who are you?

Tch! I took you
too lightly!

You plan to rescue
the DIRECTOR?
That won't be pos-
sible because I'm
going to beat you!

No! Unbelievable!

Stop! I'm known as
the TEAM ROCKET
fortress!
You're not taking
another step!

The fortress came
down!

Don't I think
#MON are cute?
I'll think my
#MON are cute--
after they beat
yours!

Oh, no! They're so
useless!

Most excellent.
This RADIO TOWER
will fulfill our
grand design.

Hmmm…
All grand plans
come with snags.

Remember me from
the HIDEOUT in
MAHOGANY TOWN?
I lost then, but I
won't this time.

This can't be
happening!
I fought hard, but
I still lost…

Hmmm… This is a
strange place.

…

Whoa! What a
surprise!
I didn't expect to
see anyone here!

Whoa! I'm beaten
big time!

I roam far and
wide in search of
#MON.
Are you looking
for #MON too?
Then you're my
collecting rival!

Ugh. My poor #-
MON…

You're headed to
AZALEA, are you?
Let my #MON see
if you are good
enough to battle.

Oh, oh, oh!

If it's light, a
cave isn't scary.
If you're strong,
#MON aren't
scary.

FLASH!

ZUBAT's SUPERSONIC
keeps confusing
my #MON.
I'm seriously
upset about that!

I flamed out!

It's been a while
since I last saw
another person.
Don't be shy.
Let's battle!

Uurggh…

What do you know!
A visitor!

Wahahah! You're a
feisty one!

Who's there?
Leave me and my
#MON alone!

Go…
Go away!

I came all the way
here to conduct my
#MON research.
Let me demonstrate
my findings in a
real battle!

You demonstrated
on me!

There are two
kinds of people.
Those who have
style, and those
who don't.
What kind of
person are you?

You've got
dazzling style!

I'm in training.
Care for a round?

Aww, no! You're
too good for me.

If the #MON I
liked were there,
I'd go anywhere.
That's what a real
trainer does.

I'd rather pet my
babies than this!

Darn! I was stand-
ing guard up top
when some old coot
yelled at me.
He startled me so
much that I fell
down here.
I think I'll vent
my anger by taking
it out on you!

Arrgh! This is NOT
my day!

What do you want?
If you interrupt
our work, don't
expect any mercy!

You did OK today,
but wait till next
time!

Quit taking SLOW-
POKETAILS?
If we obeyed you,
TEAM ROCKET's rep
would be ruined!

Just…
Too strong…

Stop taking TAILS?
Yeah, just try to
defeat all of us!

You rotten brat!

Men of the sea are
always spoiling
for a good fight!

Urf!
I lose!

Hm? This is no
place for playing.

Ah! I can see that
you're serious.

Sailors are both
kind and strong.
How about you?

You are both kind
and strong…

I travel the world
to train my #-
MON. I wish to
battle with you.

…sigh… I must
train some more…

Why are you here?
Are you just going
to gawk? I suggest
that you leave!

You really are
concerned…

JASMINE must be
worried sick about
the #MON here.
She won't even
smile these days.

I can't manage a
smile either…

JASMINE is this
city's GYM LEADER.
I mean to bring
her back with me.
Nobody had better
get in my way!

Aaack! My #MON!

I wanted to battle
JASMINE, but she's
not up to it now.
So, how about you?

Whoa, whoa. You're
overwhelming!

We're pretty high
up here. My bird
#MON are in
prime form.

Oops…They crashed…

Heheh. Feeling
lucky, punk?
Go ahead, take
another step.
We've got traps
set in the floor!

Kaboom!

This was once a
ninja hideout.
There are traps to
confound intruders
like you.

I get it…

The door won't
open?
Well, duh.
It has to have a
password that only
TEAM ROCKET knows.

What? I lost?

Oh, a kid? I don't
really like this,
but eliminate you
I must.

I knew I'd lose…

You rotten little
pest!

Grrrr…

Do I know the
password?
Maybe.
But no weakling's
going to get it!

All right. Stop.
I'll tell you.

Hyuck-hyuck-hyuck!
You're challenging
me to a battle?
Hah! You're nuts,
but you have guts!
I like that!
If you can beat
me, I'll tell you
a password to the
boss's room!

Hyuck-hyuck-hyuck!
You're good!

I used to work for
SILPH, but now I
run research for
TEAM ROCKET.
A meddlesome child
like you needs to
be punished.

A mere tactical
error cost me…

I don't care that
#MON are hurt
by our experiment.

Thinking is my
strong suit, not
battling.

Don't sneak up on
me like that!
You frightened a
#MON away!

I hadn't seen that
#MON before…

I got booted out
of the GAME COR-
NER.
I was trying to
cheat using my
#MON…

…Grumble…

Do you consider
type alignments in
battle?
If you know your
type advantages,
you'll do better
in battle.

Ow, ow, ow!

My #MON just
got a haircut!
I'll show you how
strong it is!

Aiyeeee!

I think you have
some rare #MON
with you.
Let me see them!

Gaah! I lost!
That makes me mad!

Fork over your
goodies!

Mercy!

They ditched this
project before
they finished.
I'm searching for
leftover loot.

Over the top!

I don't care if
you're lost.
You show up here,
you're nothing but
a victim!

Urk! Yeah, think
you're cool, huh?

Open one shutter,
another closes.
Bet you can't get
where you want!

Drat! I was sunk
by indecision!

Kwahaha!
Confounded by the
shutters, are we?
I'll let you in on
a secret if you
can beat me!

Uwww…
I blew it.

Are you lost? No,
you can't be.
You don't have
that scared look.
I'll give you
something to be
scared about!

How could you?

How did you get
this far?
I guess it can't
be helped. I'll
dispose of you.

I got disposed of…

You're not going
any farther!
I don't show mercy
to my enemies, not
even brats!

Blast it!

Hyuck-hyuck-hyuck!
I remember you!
You got me good
at our hideout!

Hyuck-hyuck-hyuck!
So, that's how?

I'm not losing
this time!

I lost to some
kid…?

Hey! HUGH!

I mistook you for
someone else…

Yo! MARKUS!

Sorry, my mistake.

You! How dare you
enter uninvited!

S-strong!

You shouldn't be
in here!

Oh yikes, I lost!

It's a stranger we
don't know.

Ouchies.

Who are you?

Meanie.

Legend has it that
upon the emergence
of a trainer who
has the ability to
touch the souls of
#MON, a #MON
will come forth to
put that trainer
to test at the TIN
TOWER.
The legend has
come true!
The legendary
#MON SUICUNE
has arrived!
We, the WISE TRIO,
shall test your
worthiness to go
inside!

Stronger than we
thought? Perhaps…

Can you be trusted
with the truth?
I must ascertain
your worthiness.

…I will tell you
the truth…

Let me see your
power!

Too strong!
Why?

You have lovely
#MON. May I see
them in battle?

Oh, you are very
strong.

I always dance
with my #MON.
Of course, I also
train them.

Oh, so close!
I almost had you.

Isn't my barrette
pretty?
Oh. A #MON
battle?

I don't have any
#MON left…

Oh, you're a cute
trainer. Would you
like to battle?

You're stronger
than you look.

Do you like my
dancing? I'm good
at #MON too.

Ooh, you're good
at #MON too.

I spent the spring
with my #MON.
Then summer, fall
and winter…
Then spring came
again. We have
lived together
for a long time.

Wins and losses, I
experienced both.

Can you inflict
any damage on our
#MON?

Ah! Well done!

I shall win!

I, I, I lost!

Stumped by our in-
visible floor?
Defeat me if you
want a hint!

Wha-what?

My chance of
losing? Not even
one percent!

That's odd.

Your first battle
against dragons?
I'll show you how
tough they are!

My dragon #MON
lost?

Dragons are sacred
#MON.
They are full of
life energy.
If you're not
serious, you won't
be able to beat
them.

Way to go!

It's not as if we
all use dragon-
type #MON.

Rats! If only I
had a dragon!

I can't allow a
nameless trainer
past me!
CLAIR would be
livid if I did!

Awww… I lost…

Be prepared for
anything!
Let me see if your
#MON have been
raised properly!

Oh, I lost that!

Yo! You're spunky!
But you know what?
When it comes to
sheer spunkiness,
I'm the man!

My #MON weren't
spunky enough!

My #MON are
power packed!

Wahahah! I'm the
big loser!

Why do I climb
mountains?
Because they're
there.
Why do I train
#MON?
Because they're
there!

Losses…
They're there too!

I was training
here alone.
Behold the fruits
of my labor!

Waaaargh!

What are your
thoughts on rais-
ing #MON?

You've won my
respect.

What is your
battle strategy?
It is foolish to
use strong moves
indiscriminately.

Fine. I lost.

Awright! I'll show
you the power of
mountain #MON!

Mercy! You showed
me your power!

I'm raising #-
MON too!
Will you battle
with me?

Wha…?

I raise #MON
too!
Will you battle
with me?

Oh, rats!

I'm disgusted by
wimpy people!

I could beat you
at swimming…

Have you ever gone
swimming in the
sea at night?

Glub…

Swimming?
I'm lousy at it.
I'm just splashing
around in these
shallow waters.

I thought I could
win.

Pant, pant…
Just… a little…
farther… to…
FUCHSIA…

I'm drowning!

I feel so much
lighter in water.

Oh, no!

What an impressive
collection of GYM
BADGES. We should
battle!

No!

I guess it's im-
possible to swim
all the way to
JOHTO.

Aiyah!

If I win, you have
to help me with my
suntan lotion!

I'm worried about
sunburn…

Land ho! Gotta
keep going!

Glug…

I'm bored by fish-
ing. Let's battle!

Utter failure…

Sorry about being
away. Let's get on
with it!

I give up! You're
the winner!

Don't let my ele-
gant swimming un-
nerve you.

Ooh, you calmly
disposed of me…

Glub…
I'm first! Come
and get me!

This can't be…

I'm raising my
#MON. Want to
battle with me?

Ack! I lost that
one…

I have a feeling
that I can win.
Let's see if I'm
right!

Aww, you are too
strong.

Um…
I…

…

I came to explore
ROCK TUNNEL.

Whoa! Danger, man.

Have you ever been
to a picnic?
They're so much
fun!

Ohhhh!

Hey, you!
Don't litter!

I was just point-
ing out…

People shouldn't
leave any litter
behind.

Ohh… I lost…

She'll be coming
'round MT.SILVER
when she comes…
MT.SILVER is in
JOHTO, right?

I was too busy
singing…

I'll tell you a
secret.
But first, we
battle!

Oh, dang!
I lost that…

Beat the six of us
trainers to win a
fabulous prize!
Think you've got
what it takes?

Whoo! Good stuff.

I'm second.
Now it's serious!

How could I lose?

Here's No. 3!
I won't be easy.

Ow! Stomped flat!

I'm No. 4!
Getting tired?

I lost too…

OK! I'm No. 5.
I'll stomp you!

Whoa! Too much.

I'm the last in
line, but I tell
you, I'm tough!

You're kidding.

Mufufufu…
I have nothing to
do with the six-
pack trainers.
I waited here to
beat you when you
were tired out by
all the battles.

Aren't you tired
at all?

Bug #MON evolve
young. So they get
stronger that much
faster.

Just evolving
isn't enough!

Bug #MON are
cool and tough!
I'll prove it to
you!

You proved how
tough you are…

You saved all the
SLOWPOKE? Whew,
you're mighty!
But my grown-up
#MON are pretty
tough too!

Urrgggh!

AMY: Hi! Are you
challenging the
LEADER? No way!

AMY & MAY: Oh,
double goodness!

MAY: You want to
see the LEADER?
We come first!

AMY & MAY: Oh,
double goodness!

I came through the
tunnel, but I
still have plenty
of energy left.

Whoa! You've got
more zip than me!

I love #MON!
That's why I
started--and why
I'll keep on col-
lecting #MON!

How could you do
this to me?

Hey! Do you have
any rare #MON?

Oh, my poor #-
MON! Darlings!

Would you get
this?
Some  guy
made fun of my
#MON!
Darn it! My #-
MON's great!

My NIDOKING did
pretty right on!

I'm in a slump.
Maybe it's the
gear I'm using.
Let's battle for a
change of pace!

I lost, but I feel
better anyway.

Are you going to
LAKE OF RAGE too?
Let's play for a 
little while!

I played too much!

I can do so much
with my #MON--
it's super-fun!

Losing isn't fun
at all…

Let me battle with
the #MON I just
caught!

I might be an ex-
pert angler, but
I stink as a #-
MON trainer…

No matter what I
do, all I catch
are the same #-
MON…

My line's all
tangled up…

If a trainer spots
another trainer,
he has to make a
challenge.
That is our
destiny.

Whew…
Good battle.

What happened to
the red GYARADOS?
It's gone?
Oh, darn. I came
here for nothing?
I know--let's
battle!

Good going!

Whoa!
You made me lose
that fish!

Sploosh!

I'm really good at
both fishing and
#MON.
I'm not about to
lose to any kid!

Tch! I tried to
rush things…

My #MON?
Freshly caught!

SPLASH?

I haven't seen you
around before.
So you think you
are pretty tough?

You're strong!

I found some good
#MON in the
grass!
I think they'll do
it for me!

Darn. I thought I
could win.

That glance…
It's intriguing.

Hmmm. This is
disappointing.

Uh-huh. Yeah, and
you know…
Pardon? Battle?
I'm on the phone.
Oh, all right. But
make it fast.

Oh! I've got to
relieve my anger!

That BADGE! It's
from VIOLET CITY!
You beat FALKNER?

I know what my
weaknesses are.

I've been getting
#MON data off
my radio. I think
I'm good.

I give!

I'm gonna show my
girlfriend I'm hot
stuff!

I wish you would
have lost for me…

My boyfriend's
weak, so I can't
rely on him.

Oh, my! You're so
strong!

Are you going to
the GYM? Me too!

Oh. I couldn't
win…

What kinds of
BALLS do you use?

Yikes! Not fast
enough!

I'm practicing my
fire breathing.

Ow! I scorched the
tip of my nose!

I'll go anywhere
if bug #MON
appear there.

Huh? I shouldn't
have lost that…

Behold my graceful
BALL dexterity!

Whew! That was a
jolt!

I'm going to read
your thoughts!

I misread you!

Thanks to my stud-
ies, I'm ready for
any #MON!

Oops! Computation
error?

ANN: ANNE and I
are in this to-
gether!

ANN & ANNE: Nnn… A
little too strong.

ANNE: ANN and I
are in this to-
gether!

ANN & ANNE: Nnn… A
little too strong.

#MON can't do a
thing if they are
asleep.
I'll show you how
scary that is!

I lost. That's
pretty sad…

The keyword is
guts!
Those here are
training night and
day to become bird
#MON masters.
Come on!

Gaaah!

Let me see if you
are good enough to
face FALKNER!

This can't be
true!

I'm confident in
my ability to
raise #MON.
Want to see?

Did I screw up my
training?

This is where I do
my training!

Beaten by a
passing stranger!

I'm the best in my
class at #MON.

No! There are bet-
ter trainers…

Are you a trainer?
Let's have a
practice battle.

Oh, no! I just
can't win…

I just got my
#MON back from
DAY-CARE.
Let's see how much
stronger it got!

Why does it end
this way?

IRENE: Kyaaah!
Someone found us!

IRENE: Ohhh!
Too strong!

JENN: You can't
beat IRENE and go
unpunished!

JENN: So sorry,
IRENE! Sis!

KATE: You sure
were mean to my
little sisters!

KATE: No! I can't
believe I lost.

Don't let my
#MON's cute
looks fool you.
They can whip you!

Darn… I thought
you were weak…

I like cute #-
MON better than
strong #MON.
But I have strong
and cute #MON!

Oh, no, no, no!

Oh, you are a cute
little trainer! 
I like you, but I
won't hold back!

Let's see… Oops,
it's over?

Give it your best
shot, or I'll take
you down!

No! Oh, MEOWTH,
I'm so sorry!

My PHANPY is the
cutest in the
world.

My PHANPY!

My TEDDIURSA is
the cutest in the
world.

My TEDDIURSA!

There's no cheat-
ing in #MON.
Let's keep it fair
and square!

Huh? How did this
happen?

It itches and
tickles a bit when
I wear shorts in
the grass.

Aiyaaah!
I got stomped!

…

…

I can see it…
Everything to see
about you…

I couldn't foresee
your power…

You're here to
defeat LT.SURGE?
Not if I can help
it!

Sorry I failed
you, LT.SURGE,
sir!

LT.SURGE recog-
nized my potential
with electric
#MON.
Think you can beat
me?

Ooh, how shocking!

I'm going to take
you down! Prepare
to be shocked!

Gwaaah!
I was overpowered…

If trainers meet,
the first thing to
do is battle.

Awww… I've got a
losing record…

You there!
Want to battle?

Down and out…

Ah! The weather's
as fine as ever.

It's sunny, but
I'm all wet…

Hmmm… I don't know
what to do…

I knew I'd lose…

I can run like the
wind!

Blown away!

Step right up and
take a look!

Yow! That's hot!

The trainers of
this GYM use rock-
type #MON.
The rock-type has
high DEFENSE.
Battles could end
up going a long
time. Are you
ready for this?

I have to win
these battles…

I'm going to KANTO
to test my skills.

I wanted to win!

I'm training to
become the CHAMP!

What's so differ-
ent between us?

Do you know LILY?
She's a hot DJ in
KANTO.

Gyaaaah!

Are you alone?
Then let's battle!

That's too much to
handle!

Oh, no. I've lost
something that's
very important.

I… I can't find
it…

Yeehaw!
Lucky!

How unlucky!
I lost!

I'm going to KANTO
to put on fire-
breathing shows!

Fizzle… The
flame's tiny…

I'm visiting my
grandma to catch
me some bugs!

Ooh, wow.
You're tough!

I'm trying to
forget my woes.
Let's battle!

My heart weeps…

I'm going to audi-
tion my songs at
GOLDENROD's RADIO
STATION.

Yowza!
Total distortion!

Hey, kid! Want to
battle with me?

You're strong!

You think I'm a
baby?
That's not fair!

Oh! We lost!

I'm not a baby!
That's not nice to
say to a lady!

Oh! We lost!

Ssh! My brain is
picking up radio
signals!

…I hear some-
thing!

What do you think?
My #MON are
beautiful, yes?

Oh, no! My beauti-
ful #MON!

I'm going to shop
at the DEPT.STORE
and then…

What was I going
to do?

What kinds of #
BALLS do you have
with you?

Wait! Stop! Don't!
Please!

Nothing beats a
battle when I'm
on my break.

Win or lose, my
break's over!

I'm so bored.
Want to battle?

Yow! You're too
strong!

Urrf…
I'm seasick!

I can't move any-
more…

This is where we
sailors work!

I lost on my home
field…

Even though we're
out on the sea, I
can't fish!
This is boring!
Let's battle!

I… I'm not bored
anymore…

I'm building up my
legs by bracing
against the ship's
rocking!

Rocked and rolled
over!

I'm a sailor man!
But I'm training
#MON, so I can
become the CHAMP!

My lack of train-
ing is obvious…

Don't lay a finger
on my students!

Aaack!

Do you know the
RUINS OF ALPH?

Yaargh!

There are some odd
stone panels in
the RUINS OF ALPH.

I was done in!

Agility is the key
attribute of bird
#MON.

You beat me with
your speed…

Check out my #-
MON. Just look at
their coloring and
their plumage.

Shoot!
Not good enough!

Nihihi! Would you
like to battle my
PIKACHU gang?

PI-PIKACHU!

I should go to
ROCK TUNNEL to get
myself an ONIX.

I lost…

Bow down before my
regal #MON!

How… How dare you
mock royalty!

Let me tell you,
I had a hard time
catching my prized
#MON.

Awaaah!

My dream is to fly
with my beloved
bird #MON.

I can dream, but I
can't ever fly…

Hi. Did you know…?
#MON get more
friendly if you
train them in a
place that they
remember.

Where did I meet
this PSYDUCK?

Hang on. I have to
phone my mom.

Sorry, Mom!
I was beaten!

Let's battle.
I won't lose!

I forgot to do my
homework!

We're on a field
trip to LAVENDER
RADIO TOWER for
social studies.

You're wickedly
tough!

My favorite class
is gym!

Oh, no!
How could I lose?

Have you forgotten
anything?

Kyaaah!

On sunny days, I
think that the
kids would rather
be playing in the
schoolyard than
studying in class.

I didn't want to
lose…

If you're looking
for #MON, you
have to look in
the tall grass.

Ayieee!

CYCLING ROAD is a
quick shortcut to
CELADON.

…Whew!

We're the KANTO
#MON FEDERATION
trainer group.
We'll drive you
under our wheels!

S-sorry!

The cops shut down
our UNDERGROUND
PATH! That really
fries me!

F-forgive me!

We're the KANTO
#MON FEDERA-
TION!
Right on!

Yikes! Sorry!

How does the MAG-
NET TRAIN work?

I just want to see
the MAGNET TRAIN…

Hm… You've got
many GYM BADGES.

Just as I thought…
You're tough!

Patience is the
key to both fish-
ing and #MON.

Gwaaah!

I feel so content,
fishing while lis-
tening to some
tunes on my radio.

My stupid radio
distracted me!

What's most impor-
tant in our every-
day lives?

The answer is
coming up next!

Do you remember?

You do remember?

Hahahah!

Hahaha-hachoo!

You like #MON,
don't you?
Me too!

I'd have to say
that's my loss.

Hey, you! You're
from JOHTO, huh?

Whoa, you kick!

Wow. That's a cool
BICYCLE!

But you don't just
look cool…

Hey! Want to have
a speed battle?

Yikes! You've got
awesome torque!

We're fearless
highway stars!

Arrrgh! Crash and
burn!

Do you think a
girls-only GYM
is rare?

Oh, bleah!

Oh, a battle?
That's kind of
scary, but OK!

Oh, that's it?

Were you looking
at these flowers
or at me?

How annoying!

We'll show you
#MON moves that
ERIKA taught us!

Oh… We lost…

We're going to
protect ERIKA!

We couldn't win…

You have to warm
up before going
into the water.
That's basic.

OK! Uncle! I give!

Hey, you're young
and fit!
Don't ride your
#MON! Swim!

Uh-oh. I lost…

Are you going to
CIANWOOD?
How about a quick
battle first?

I lost that one!

No inner tube for
me.
I'm hanging on to
a sea #MON!

Ooh, I'm feeling
dizzy!

The water's warm
here. I'm loose
and limber.
Sure, I'll take
you on!

Yikes! I've got
prune skin!

I'm a bit tired.
If I win, lend me
your #MON.

Pant, pant…

See those islands
that are blocked
by whirlpools?
There just has to
be a secret!

What's the secret
to your strength?

The waves are wild
here.
They tire you out
while you swim.

I'm beat!

Are you seeking
the secrets of
WHIRL ISLANDS?

Ooh, you've got
great endurance!

I'm on my way to
WHIRL ISLANDS.
I'm going explor-
ing with friends.

Is that how you do
it?

You look so ele-
gant, riding your
#MON.

I'm crushed…

The weather is so
beautiful, I'm in
a daze!

Ohhh!

If you need to
rest, just tread
water.
You'll get your
wind back, so you
can keep on going
strong.

Oh! You have more
energy than I do.

At night, STARYU
gather near the
water's surface.

Oh, dear…

My #MON and I
are bound togeth-
er by friendship.
Our bond will
never be broken!

This isn't real!

We martial artists
fear nothing!

That's shocking!

Words are useless.
Let your fists do
the talking!

…

My raging fists
will shatter your
#MON!

I got shattered!

My bug #MON are
tough. Prepare to
lose!

I was whipped…

If you walk in
tall grass wearing
shorts, do you get
nicks and cuts?

Ouch, ouch, ouch!

Why don't girls
like bug #MON?

No good!

I'm making my
final preparations
for the #MON
LEAGUE.

I blew it!

By experiencing
tough battles, you
gain power.

Gaah! Life is even
tougher!

Since you've come
this far, you must
be good.
I'm going to give
this battle every-
thing I've got!

No! I don't
believe this!

I lost to a train-
er named .
He was really
strong, but…
It was as if he
absolutely had to
win at any cost.
I felt sorry for
his #MON.

#MON aren't
tools of war.

Wow, look at all
those BADGES!
I'm impressed.
But you're not
satisfied by just
collecting them,
right?

Good battle!

I'm feeling great
today!
I feel like I
could boot even
the LEAGUE CHAMP!

No! Not in this
battle!

You look pretty
strong.
Let me battle you!

Yow!

Hm? You're good,
aren't you?

Just as I thought!

You shouldn't
underestimate the
wild #MON in
these parts.

Oh! You're much
too strong!

It's rare to see
anyone come here.
Are you training
on your own?

Oh! You're really
strong!

Don't say a thing!
Let me guess what
you're thinking.
Mmmmmmm…
I got it! You're
on the #MON
LEAGUE challenge!

You're too much!

Tweet! Tweet!
Tetweet!

Tweet!

The power of all
those you defeated
comes to me!

Strong…
Far too strong…

Psychic power is
the power of your
soul.

Your soul has more
power than mine!

Fufufufu…
I see it clearly.
I can see into
your soul!

Though I read you,
I still lost…

The FIGHTING DOJO
next door was once
this city's GYM.

I was no match…

I just lost, so
I'm trying to find
more #MON.
Wait! You look
weak! Come on,
let's battle!

Ack! I lost again!
Doggone it!

You're a #MON
trainer, right?
Then you have to
battle!

That's strange.
I won before.

Instead of a bug
#MON, I found
a trainer!

Argh! You're too
strong!

I caught a bunch
of #MON. Let me
battle with you!

Awwwww…
