We're going to be late!
If Satoshi hadn't overslept, we wouldn't be in this mess!
If Hikari hadn't been trying to fix her bed head, we wouldn't be running so late!
Hurry!
It looks like we made it.
You're late!
It's Dr. Nanakamado!
I welcome you to the Nanakamado Research Facility on Mt. Tengan.
Or for all intents and purposes, your school.
It's a mid-journey surprise for Satoshi and the others.
After being contacted by Dr. Nanakamado, it's time for Pokémon Summer School.
The mysterious creatures of this planet,
Pocket Monsters...
"Pokémon" for short!
Now, the story of Satoshi and Hikari,
and Pokémon, their meetings, adventures,
and battles are about to begin!
Let's cross over the tall Mt. Tengan
with Indomitable Heart and Last Resort
Who should I get? Where will I meet them?
It's as exciting as a secret base!
We'll advance
to a new town
as it glitters
Yay yay yay yay!!
I’m not soft, I'll battle you any time!
Spicy? Bitter? Dry? Sour?
Live! So, feel!
Together!
Yay yay yay yay!!
Get blown away by Aqua Jet,
Fog Clear the sad feelings,
Look! When we climb over it with Rock Climb
GOOD GOOD SMILE!!
Everyone, GOOD GOOD SMILE!!
The Pokémon Summer School Course!!
Everyone, gather around to find out which team you're on!
I'm on the Red team.
Me too.
So am I.
It looks like I'm on the Blue team.
It's you!
Kohei!
Somehow, I knew you'd all be coming.
Don't forget about me!
I'm Musalinda, and I'm on the Green team!
The Summer School's resident...
Cutie pie!
Musalinda's not very subtle.
Yeah, it's not good to stick out like that when we're trying to steal the school's Pokémon.
Would you maintenance engineers mind helping me?
Sure thing!
Just like there are various kinds of Pokémon all over the world,
budding young trainers are no different. Today, you kids of all ages and birth-places...
...have gathered together for a week of fun and excitement.
Destiny has brought you together to meet and work with your fellow students and their Pokémon.
Get to know each other this week, and while you're at it, have some fun.
I think this would be the perfect time for the Pokémon to introduce themselves.
And the best way is...
A Pokémon Battle.
Alright!
Hold on a minute!
You will all be using these Monster Balls.
One per student.
That's the box of Monster Balls we were just getting ready to steal.
Shoot!
If we would have been a little quicker, it would have been "mission complete".
I see.
The Pokémon we all end up getting matched up with is...
Luck of the draw.
Alright, let's see.
Let go, I got it first!
No, I got it first!
It's mine!
There's nothing ruder than a guy who ignores "ladies first"!
You're a girl?
Now you're making me mad!
My name's Aoi, and I challenge you to a battle!
Okay, let's do it!
I'm Satoshi, from Masara Town.
That's the spirit.
But the real battle starts tomorrow.
Today, I just want you to meet the Pokémon you chose.
Alright, come on out!
Moukazaru, huh?
Moukazaru: Playful Pokémon.
The evolved form of Hikozaru.
It launches aerial attacks on the ceilings and walls, and its fiery tail is used as one of its weapons.
I'm Aoi, nice to meet you.
It looks like you rub Pokémon the wrong way too!
Be quiet!
Alright, come on out!
My Pokémon!
A Raichu?
I'm Satoshi, how do you do?
I think Raichu's scared of you, Satoshi!
Be quiet! We're going to be friends really soon!
Alright.
Come on out!
It's a Betbeter...
Pretty cute, right?
Huh?
Pochama?
Pochama!
Alright.
Come out!
Coil, huh?
So cute!
So it's a Kongpang?
Hello.
Raichu, what's wrong?
Come back! Where are you going?
Alligates, calm down!
Don't treat Moukazaru like that!
That's it, I'll bring out my Pokémon!
Use Spark on Pikachu!
Show them, Pikachu! Use Thunderbolt!
Enough!
I never told you that you could use your own Pokémon in battle.
Aoi started it!
No, Satoshi and Pikachu did!
This school is not the place for quarreling.
It's for making new friends with people and Pokémon.
Right...
That's the end of our first hour.
In tomorrow's battle, I will judge how well you've befriended your Pokémon, and award points accordingly.
Points?
You don't know about that?
At the end of each section, points are awarded by Dr Nanakamado.
Right, and at the end of the final day, the total number of points for each team are...
...added up to decide a winner.
Alright, then the Red team will win it all!
Yeah, as long as Satoshi doesn't hold us back!
What?
Got a problem?
Now, as we move on to our second hour...
...I want you all to work on getting closer with your new Pokémon, understand?
Right!
Hey, I made some delicious Poffins for you.
Try one.
You've got home-made Poffins?
Alright Coil, how about a static electricity snack?
Followed by...
A brisk polishing!
Amazing!
Alright, now me!
Hey, Moukaza-
I said calm down, Alligates!
Stop that!
What are you doing?
Let's see...
What moves can you use?
Focus Punch, Dig, Thunderbolt, and Double Team.
You can use Double Team too?
I can't wait for our battle to start!
Betbeter: Sludge Pokémon.
It was born when sludge in a dirty stream was exposed to X-rays from the moon.
What moves do you have?
Poison Gas, Mud Slap, Sludge, and Gunk Shot.
Alright, no need to worry!
I just know you're going to shine!
Alright, I get it...
We'll start out by giving you a nice oil massage.
Doesn't that feel good?
This is called an equation.
You're so cute!
Way to go!
Now, I'm going to pose and I want you to copy me.
First, this!
That's great. Now, this!
Amazing! You can copy me perfectly!
Now, this!
This!
Alright! Moukazaru, let's practice your moves!
Hey!
Why me?
Because you weren't paying attention.
What?
Got a problem?
I still don't understand why I have to run laps.
It's because you started that fight.
What?
Got a problem?
I sure am hungry.
Why don't you eat something? I'll go ahead of you.
No way!
Thanks for the food!
Delicious!
Huh? For some reason, I've forgotten what I was doing here.
Who cares? More please!
Yes, Musalinda-sama!
She's eating the curry that we worked so hard on!
It's times like this that make us proud to be chefs!
Alright, let's make a business out of this!
Let's do it!
I'm starving and exhausted.
Did you save us any?
Sorry, it's all gone.
No way!
Just kidding!
That's delicious!
For once, we agree!
Alright!
Now let's look at-
Fansub by Beatsy Ray
Okay everyone, lights out!
We've got a busy day tomorrow, so get some sleep!
Bed time already?
I'm not even tired.
I've got a deck of cards.
Come on, let's play!
Say, I'd be more than flattered to be partners with Hikari-san.
This isn't even your room!
Aoi, have you started your journey yet?
No, I've been working in a Pokémon Daycare Center.
It's so busy, I hardly have any free time.
It must be hard to find time for a journey.
But it's lots of fun, and I'm learning a lot!
Someday, I'm planning on taking over the business.
Is that so? Good luck.
What about you?
Me? I'm going to become a Pokémon Master.
You?
Oh please!
Jeez...
I'll show her.
I heard that.
What bout Hikari and Takeshi?
I'm going to become a Top Coordinator.
And I'm going to be a top Pokémon breeder.
You all dream really big.
What part of "lights out" did you not understand?
Good night.
Raichu, use Thunderbolt!
What's wrong, Raichu?
Your Thunderbolt must be stronger than that.
Don't start hiding!
Come on.
Try again.
See? You've got to be strong to do this!
You just need more confidence!
Now, use Focus Punch with confidence!
You did it, Raichu!
You just got in touch with your true power!
Alright, it's my turn.
Come out, Moukazaru!
Moukazaru, I want you to face me and use Ember!
I mean it! Hit me with your best shot!
Come on! Is that all you've got?
Put some power behind it!
Great move! I really felt that!
Now try Mach Punch, and face me like before!
Too slow! Speed it up and focus!
Aoi!
Satoshi!
Hey, you look kind of beat up.
So do you.
Did you finally make friends with Moukazaru?
Yeah, we really went for it and cleared the air.
How about your training with Raichu?
The problem was, it had no confidence.
But all of our hard work is going to pay off in today's battle.
You're not going to beat us!
We'll see.
See you later!
You're too slow!
Oh yeah?
No you don't!
Now we have to make sure those two don't beat us.
Yeah.
The only thing I'm thinking about is making Betbeter shine like a star.
That's the spirit.
Dr. Nanakamado.
They're the perfect example of trainers who don't get along at first, but end up as formidable rivals.
That's what I love so much about this school.
We hear voices saying this and that...
We come along in...
A swift current of light...
Alright, our Pokémon Battles are about to begin!
Keep in mind, your goal is to battle in such a way that brings out the best in your Pokémon.
Right!
Start!
Let's go Coil, Thunder!
Muchul-chan, please use Sweet Kiss!
So cute!
Are you alright?
I don't think I am.
The problem is you're too cute! Musalinda can't bring herself to make you battle!
In that case, we'll call your battle with Takeshi a "no contest".
Betbeter, charm up!
You know, this isn't a Contest.
So? We're just getting ourselves pumped up!
Start!
Betbeter, use Sludge!
Psychic!
Kohei's amazing! He's completely in sync with Kongpang!
Hang in there, Hikari!
Alright! Use Sludge again!
Using the same attack? Then we'll use Psychic!
Use Poison Gas to surround that Sludge!
You did it! Way to go, Betbeter!
She's doing great!
Yeah? You just wait!
This is getting exciting. Kongpang, Stun Spore!
Spin and use Poison Gas!
That was quite nice!
But I won't give up!
That makes two of us!
We're finally up! Relax and give it all you've got, Raichu!
Moukazaru, give it 100%!
Start!
Moukazaru, use Mach Punch!
Raichu, use Focus Punch!
Flame Wheel!
Dig!
Use Ember at the hole!
Dodge it, Raichu!
Use Fury Swipes!
Double Team!
Thunderbolt!
Don't quit! Flame Wheel!
Raichu, are you okay?
You're pretty good!
So are you!
They're getting heated up!
What would you expect from a couple of hot heads?
Ember!
Double Team!
Attack all of them!
Now, Fury Swipes!
You can do it, Raichu! Focus Punch!
Thunderbolt!
Ember!
Time's up! That's it!
You fought hard, Raichu.
I knew you could do it, Moukazaru!
You've all done well working and battling with your Pokémon, so from this moment on...
...I would like all of you to make a point of meeting and making friends with all the Pokémon here.
Now, it's time to announce the student who most developed their relationship with their Pokémon.
From the Red team, it's Hikari!
Me?
Way to go, Hikari!
You showed them!
And after tallying up the total points for the past two days,
the team with the highest score is the Blue team!
Second is the Green team!
It's the least they could do to pay tribute to my cute Muchul!
Coming in last is the Red team!
That's not fair! Hikari had more points than anyone!
True, but Red team lost points because of yesterday's quarreling and that daytime nap.
Sorry, everyone.
Me too.
But I promise I'll make it up!
Yeah, the battle has just begun!
Everyone!
It's time for dinner!
I'm sure after today, everyone has worked up an appetite.
And so, Satoshi's adventure at the summer school has just begun.
Imagine what other exciting activities are on the horizon.
I'll become stronger and stronger
So the promise I made, even now
Is always dazzling in my heart
Are you well? How are your friends?
The smell of the wind, the color of the sky
Are they the same?
Our dreams will someday come true
But we can't just wait for them
You have to grab them for yourself!
A scar on your shin, sad memories
If you run at full throttle, they'll all disappear!
Yes...
Surely, surely, I'll never lose
Magical spells...
There's no need for things like that!
Run, run, faster than the wind
On this road ahead
Look, the buds of our dreams are peeking out
