Chapter 2 Emergency at the Pokemon Center


(Pokémon Opening: Aim to Be a Pokémon Master! English Subbed)

(* I do not own these lyrics. They belong to Pokémon)

(I'll get you, Pokémon!)

(Japanese Opening appears)

Even if in the fire, in water, in the grass, in forests
In-ground, in clouds, in that girl's skirt (eek!)

(Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur shoot their attacks in the air)

(Pikachu past Ash)

It's very, very,
Very, very difficult but

(Pictures of different Pokémon appear in each box sections)

I'm sure I'll get you!
I'll
get you, Pokémon!

(Ash twists his cap and throws a Pokéball)

(Ash and Pikachu sits together on a Lapras)

Farewell, bye-bye, Pallet Town

(Ash seeing Pallet Town from the hill)

I'm leaving on a journey with him (Pikachu!)

(Ash walk together with Pikachu)

Racking up wins with the moves we've trained

(Ash throws a Pokéball, summoning Pidgeot)

Making friends, and then off to the next city

(Ash's Pidgeot and a Fearow battles each other)

(Brock and Misty stands with Ash)

Always and forever doing well

(Giovanni appears with many members of Team Rocket along with Ian Gary Raymond and June)

Though there's no guarantee of that... (That's true!)

(The four-run through a rainstorm; Officer Jenny, Prof. Oak, Prof Aiden Delia, and Nurse Joy stands and nods together)

Forever and always, I'll live true

(Ash, Misty, and Brock sits together in a campfire night)

Because they're here

(Ash and Pikachu runs together with an Arcanine and Rapidash)

(The three legendary birds fly in the air; Mewtwo and Mew flies above the world in space)

Ah! I long to be a Pokémon Master

(Ash opens his eyes, seeing himself in the middle of the battlefield stadium)

I want to be, I have to be

(Ash takes out a Pokéball in his left hand; Ian takes out a Pokéball in his right hand)

I know I'll be one!

(Ash and Ian hold their Pokéballs and sent out their Pokemon, with Pikachu and Meowth standing with them and the two begins battle each)

[Opening Ends]


After Ash escape from the flock of Spearrows Ash inmmedility head to Viridian City get Pikachu treated

Viridian City

"Attention citizens of Viridian City." said a woman on a speaker. "Attention citizens of Viridian City. We have reports of possible Pokémon thieves in our area. Be on the lookout for suspicious looking strangers. Repeat, be on the lookout for suspicious looking…huh?"

The woman in police clothes sees Ash walk into town. "Speak of the devil." she said. Ash pant as he ran into town, with Ash carrying Pikachu in his arms.

"Hold it." said the officer, grabbing Ash by his backpacks. "And just where do you think you're going with that Pokémon?"

"It's my Pokémon and its hurt and we've got to get to the hospital right away." said Ash.

"Oh, I'm sorry." said the officer. "I thought you might be stealing it. Just show me your I.D. and you can go."

"I.D. We don't have any." said Ash. "You see, I just came here from Pallet and I…"

"You know, you're the fourth people I've seen today from Pallet Town." she tells him.

"The fourth. Oh, that means Gary Oak is here already." said Ash. "Man, I'm really starting to hate that jerk."

"It's very unusual for someone to carry a Pokémon around in his arms and not in a Pokeball." said the officer. "How do I know you didn't steal that Pokémon, especially since you don't have any identification?"

"Hey, what's that in your pocket?" asked the officer.

"What? Oh this?" asked Ash as he takes out his Pokedex and the officer swipes it out of his hand.

"This, this is perfect." she said. "A Pokedex!"

"Yeah." said Ash.

"This will solve our problem." said the officer.

"Huh?" said Ash.

"Let's see. If you're the real deal." she said, opening the Pokedex.

"I'm Dexter, a Pokedex programmed by Professor Oak for Pokémon Trainers Ash Ketchum of the town of Pallet." said Dexter, showing a picture of the siblings. "My function is to provide Ash with information and advice regarding Pokémon and their training. If lost or stolen, I cannot be replaced."

"Oh, my Pokedex." said Ash. "I didn't realize it was also my I.D."

Can my I take Pikachu to the Pokémon center now?" Ash asked.

"I'll get you there in no time at all." said the officer. The garage door opens with Ash in the side car. "Sit back, hold on and don't yell." said the officer.

Whoa." said Ash as the officer revs the engine and takes off. Just as they take off, the redheaded girl walks up with her bike in tow.

"Hey, what's the big idea?" she asked but was too late. "Ugh, come back here." Just as she runs off after Ash.

Meanwhile the red hair boy with a cat like Pokémon with a charm on its forehead appeared between them appear as he look at wanted posters on the Bulletin Board

"Tch, Team Rocket those people make me sick!" said the Red hair body

"Master Ian," said the Robot next to him

"Hey don't do anything that make him mad!" said the Cat Like Pokemon.

"Meowth and Droid 7 you two bee quiet" said Ian

"Sorry!" said both of them apologizing

Viridian City - Pokemon Center

"There it is." said the officer as the sun finally sets in the sky.

"Pokémon center. Its gigantic." said Ash. "Even my house could fit in there."

"This is tricky. Just hold on. Here we go." said the officer.

"Whoa." said Ash as the bike slides inside. A nurse was at the front desk as the bike comes to a stop.

"We have a driveway, you know." said the nurse.

"It's a Pokémon emergency." said the officer.

"Please help it." said Ash.

"Looks like a Pikachu. We'll do what we can." said the nurse, turning to the computer. "I'll need a stretcher for a small electric Pokémon, stat."

"Chansey." said the Pokémon. Pikachu was placed on the stretcher with Pidgey (in its Pokeball) next to it. "It'll be okay. Rush Pikachu to the critical care unit." said the nurse.

"Chansey." said the Chansey.

"We'll begin the treatment right away." said the nurse.

"Uh…." said Ash .

"Who are you?" the nurse asked.

"His name is Ash Ketchum. Ash is the Pokémon's trainer." said the officer.

"If there's anything I can do, please, just tell me." said Ash.

"You can be more responsible." said the nurse.

"Huh?" said Ash.

"If you want to be a Pokémon trainer, you don't let your Pokémon battle till it's in this condition." said the nurse.

"But you don't know what happened." said Ash. "Well, he should know better." said the nurse. "What's past is past. Now we have to heal your Pikachu."

"What can I do?" asked Ash.

"Just leave everything to me." said the nurse.

"Please." said Ash.

"It's in your hands. I know you'll give the Pokémon excellent care." said the officer.

"You got it here just in time." said the nurse.

"That's my job!" said the officer, then turns around. "Oh, my goodness. I left my motorcycle parked at the front desk."

"Next time, use the drive way." said the nurse. The officer chuckles and leaves.

"Ash, you will have to go to the waiting room." the nurse tells him.

Ash looks up at the sign above the doors before looking over at the phones. "I'll call home." said Ash and walks over to the phones with Jordan following close behind him.

"RING RING RING! PHONE CALL! PHONE CALL!" said the phone of the Ketchum residence and Delia walks up with a mask to answer it.

"Hello, this is the Ketchum residence." she said.

"Hello, Mom?" said Ash.

"Oh!" squealed Delia, taking off the towel and mask. "Oh, hi Ash. Is everything okay? Where are you right now?"

"The Pokémon center in Viridian City." said Ash.

"You're already in Viridian City? You progress very quickly to get there when you just only started your Pokémon training." said Delia. "Oh, I'm sure your father be so proud. You're the apples of his eye."

"Yeah." said Ash. "Anyway where Dad right now?"

"Your father in currently away from home right now, Most likely with his research group researching various things on Pokemon." said Delia

"I see." said Ash

"Oh, Ash, don't get discouraged. You're doing fine." said Delia. "Honey, you are growing up right before my eyes. Spreading your wings and soaring like a Spearow."

"I feel more like a fallen Pidgey." said Ash.

"I won't let you talk about yourself that way." said Delia. "Just be confident. You can do anything that you set your mind to. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Okay Mom." said Ash.

"Okay Ash." said Delia. "Good night, Ash. I love you."

"Night mom." said Ash and hangs up the phone. Ash stands up and looked to the picture that is on the wall.

"Hey. Wow." said Ash as he and run over to the picture. Ash stares intently at the picture.

"It could be." said Ash as he stares at the one above it. "That's the flying Pokémon I saw. Hmm."

"RING RING RING! PHONE CALL! PHONE CALL!" said the phone of the Pokémon center and Ash answers it.

"Uh, this is Ash. Who's calling?" asked Ash.

"Here, I'm over here. Ash, its Professor Oak." said the voice. "Don't you recognize me?"

"No, Professor, I don't recognize the back of your head." said Ash.

"Eh?" said Professor Oak and looks at the other camera. "Oops, wrong camera. There. Ahem. I just spoke with your mother and she tells me that you've made it to the Pokémon center in Viridian City. Is that correct?"

"Yes, it is." said Ash. "And we couldn't be talking to you if we weren't here."

"You couldn't be talking if you…oh I see." said Professor Oak. "I dialed the Pokémon center in Viridian City and you were able to answer."

"Yeah, because that's where we are." said Ash

"Mm hmm. I suppose that proves it." said Professor Oak. "The other new Pokémon trainers made it there with no problem and I'm pleasantly surprised you got there so soon. I admit, when you left, I had my doubts that you couldn't handle your Pikachu, but when my grandson Gary said that either of you wouldn't have a single new Pokémon by the time you got to Viridian City, I bet him a million dollars he's be wrong."

"No, I didn't even catch a single Pokemon and When I got here." said Ash

"Oh, why do I even bother?" asked Professor Oak.

"However, we did see a flying Pokémon like that one." Ash pointed out "It flew right over the rainbow."

"Don't talk nonsense. You couldn't have seen this Pokémon." said Professor Oak. "Trainers have searched their whole lives and never seen it."

"It's not nonsense." said Ash.

"You must have been mistaken." said Professor Oak and the doorbell rings on his end. "Ah, there's my pizza. Coming! It was very nice talking to you and Ash. And good luck. Mm, pineapple pizza."

"Now I've got you." said the redheaded girl behind them, panting as she holds her burnt up bike over her shoulders. "I knew I'd find you here."

"Hey, what happened to your bike?" asked Ash.

"What happened to my bike?" she asked, glaring at Ash. "What happened to my bike, you loser. This is what's left after you stole it to save your Pokémon. Now I know why your Pokémon is in the…Whoa, whoa, ah, ah, ah!"

The girl falls backwards with her bike. "Let us help you." said Ash as he go around the counter.

"I don't need your help and you going to pay for what you did to my bike." she said to the brother.

"We'll make up for it. I promise we will, really." Ash tells her. "But we can't do anything about your bike until…" He then looks over his shoulder to where Pikachu is.

"I don't want any of your lame excuses, kid." said the girl. "I just want a new bike right now!"

"It's my Pikachu." said Ash. "My Pikachu's not doing so good."

"Huh?" she asked, her expression softens. "Is it very serious?"

"I think so and there's nothing and I can do to help now." said Ash.

"Please be okay, Pikachu." said Ash

"Oh." said the girl. The light of the sign turns off and the doors opened.

"Huh?"

"Pikachu, are you alright?" Ash asked.

"Your Pikachu's resting. It's a good thing you got it here so fast." said the nurse. "The procedure went well and it should be fine."

"Thanks to the Pokémon center." said the girl.

"Yes, thank you very much." said Ash.

"Now your Pokémon needs a good rest in the recovery room." said the nurse. "You should go in with it, Ash."

"Thanks." said Ash and turns to the girl. "Listen, I'm sorry about your bike, but I are going to need some time to make things right.

"No way, I fell for that last time." she tells them.

"Huh?"

"Well, you should take care of Pikachu now and we'll settle up later." said the girl.

"Uh, okay." said Ash. Suddenly an alarm sounds in the Pokémon center, gaining the trio's attention. "Your attention please. Our Viridian City radar sensors have detected an aircraft belonging to a gang of Pokémon thieves. If you have a Pokémon in your possession, exercise extreme caution." said the woman.

Over the Pokémon center was aircraft. "Guess we woke up this sleepy dump." said the grunt, laughing.

"Well we'll teach them to respect the name Team Rocket." said the female grunt

"Koffing!" shouted the floating purple Pokémon.

"Ekans!" shouted the small purple rattle snake.

"Koffing!" said Koffing as it spreads its foul-smelling gas around the room.

"What's that smell?" asked Misty.

"What are…who are they?" asked Ash.

"Don't be frightened, little children." said the female grunt.

"Allow us to introduce ourselves." said the grunt.

"To protect the world from devastation…"

"To untie all peoples within our nation…."

"To denounce the evils of truth and love…"

"To extend our reach to the stars above…"

"We're Team Rocket so you better be prepare to fight!" said the grunts as the bunch grunts appear at the Pokemon Center

"Team Rocket?!" said Ash

"That Right We had one goal right now and that is steel all the Pokemon within this Pokemon Center!" said the Grunt

"What are you talking about?" asked Ash.

"He just doesn't get it, does he?" asked the Female Grunt.

"How can I? You don't make any sense." said Ash.

"We're here for the Pokémon." said the Grunt.

"You're not getting Pikachu." said Ash.

"Pikachu? We're not interested in your electric rat." said Jessie.

"We seek only rare and valuable Pokémon." said James.

"You're wasting your time." said the nurse. "This is a center for weak and injured Pokémon."

"Well, that may be so, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if we find a few little Pokémon gems among all the junk." said Female Grunt.

"You're starting to bug me." said Ash.

"Isn't that cute?" asked Female Grunt.

"He is bugged." said Grunt.

"Then let's squash them." said another Grunt.

"Koffing, attack!" shouted James.

"Ekans, go!" shouted Female Grunt. Ash and the others ran with Pikachu's gurney as Ekans and Koffing destroyed part of the Pokémon center.

"Koffing!"

"Ekans!" Koffing and Ekans past the room where Ash, the nurse and the redheaded girl were in. Suddenly the power goes out. "Hey, the lights." said the girl.

"They must've cut the power." said the nurse. "But we've got our own Pika power source." In a room, there was a spark of electricity and the lights came back on. In a circle, there were a group of Pikachus, running. "Pika, Pika, chu, chu." chanted the Pikachus as they ran.

"Oh, look at all the Pikachu." said the girl.

"A crisis situation has arisen. Initiating emergency Pokeball transport sequence." said the computer.

"We have to save those Pokéballs." said the nurse. A mechanical arm grabs a Pokeball and places it into the transporter.

"This is the Viridian City Pokémon center. We have an emergency situation." said the nurse. "Transporting Pokéballs."

"This is the Pewter City Pokémon center. Downloader activated." said the computer. "Ready to receive Pokéballs."

One by one, the Pokéballs were being transported. Just then, smog starts to appear in the room. "Koffing!" said Koffing as it entered the room.

"Oh!"

"Get those Pokéballs!" said the nurse.

"Uh, right!" said Ash.

"This is war. Don't just hold them. Throw them!" shouted the redheaded girl.

"All right. Pokeball, here we go. Ah!" said Ash as he throws the Pokeball, only to find a Pidgey inside.

"Pidgey! Aah!" cooed Pidgey as it sees Ekans.

"Ekans!" hissed Ekans, causing Pidgey to fly away.

"That thing can't beat us." said Female Grunt.

"No? Well, try this one." said Ash. "Pokeball, here we go! Aah!" Once thrown, the Pokeball revealed to be empty. "Empty?" asked Ash.

"We're never going to beat them that way." said the girl.

"Some of the Pokéballs are empty." said the nurse.

"Well, now she tells me." said Ash as he picks up another Pokeball. "This one feels like a real winner. Pokeball, go! Ah!"

Out of the Pokeball appears a Rattata. "Rattata!" cried Rattata.

"Heh, pipsqueak." said Grunt.

"Ekans!" Ekans hissed again.

"Rattata!" squealed Rattata.

"I guess I'm going to have to take this into my own hands." said the girl. "You and your brother grab Pikachu and get out of here. I'll take care of these three clowns."

"That's pretty big talk coming from such a little lady." said Grunt.

"At least you're right about the pretty part." said the girl. "Thanks for the compliment."

"The girl thinks she's pretty." said Grunt.

"I agree with her. I think she's pretty too." said Female Grunt. "Pretty pathetic."

"I'll show you." said the girl. "Pokeball, go!"

"Goldeen, Goldeen, Goldeen, Goldeen, Goldeen, Goldeen." said the fish with a horn on its head, flopping on the floor.

"Huh?" said the Grunts

"Goldeen, return." said the girl.

"Goldeen, Goldeen, Goldeen." said Goldeen and returns to the Pokeball.

"That's her best shot?" asked Female Grunt.

"She's all washed up." said Grunt.

"You know as well as I do that a water Pokémon can't battle on land." said the girl. "I was just warming up."

"Warming up?" asked Ash.
