AUTHOR'S NOTE: Greetings, readers! Well, we finally made it! The 63rd and final chapter of this story, but don't worry, there'll be more adventures to come soon enough. This chapter is based on my experiences in school where the boiler room caught fire, and I, along with the rest of the people in the building had to evacuate. The firefighters that day were forced to put the fire in the boiler room out, putting an end to that boiler forever. Nobody got injured, and there was none to very little damage to the building itself. The Pokémon theme comes towards the end of the chapter. I DO NOT own Pokémon. Pokémon, Pikachu, and all other character names in the games, the anime, and the books are trademarks of Nintendo. Furthermore, I do not own the Pokémon theme either. The theme was composed by John Siegler and John Loeffler, and the lyrics were written by John Loeffler. The theme was originally performed by Jason Paige. I've been paying careful attention to the lyrics, too. As always, please feel free to read and review. If you want to see any of the chapters, feel free to check them out also.

TEASER: Tristan, Hillary, and Pikachu, as well as their friends and family are attempting to save the Moltres flame from going out of control. But will it already be too late? And when Team Rocket does one last attempt at a victory, it's going to be up to Tristan and Hillary to work together with Pikachu and Squirtle!

Chapter 63: THE FINAL CONFLICT, PART 3

(Music Cue: Opening & Title Screen 1997-1998 as heard in the beginning of "Beach Blank-Out Blastoise"))

Last time, Hillary and Pidgeot made it to Team Rocket Headquarters, never suspecting that the Legendary Pokémon, Zapdos, would save them from certain doom when it absorbed a huge lightning bolt. Articuno, Moltres, and Mewtwo also joined in on the action and joined forces with Hillary to aid her in the fight against Team Rocket.

Things got even better for them when the Elite Four joined them in their quest. They had also been victims in another Pokémon heist after Giovanni resigned as the Viridian Gym Leader. The entrance to the Headquarters was blocked with boulders, but one Sky Attack later from Moltres, and they were all able to get inside. Mewtwo advised Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres to stay outside so they could save their energy for the big battle ahead.

Meanwhile, inside Team Rocket Headquarters, Tristan and Pikachu were facing off against Giovanni and Persian for the freedom of their friends and family as well as their Pokémon and the Elite Four's Pokémon, when suddenly, a huge lightning bolt struck the heart of Team Rocket Headquarters, causing Giovanni to lose the lantern, containing the flame of Moltres for the Pokémon League competition. Tristan and Pikachu did their darnedest to catch it, but the dungeon was so small that they couldn't navigate their way through fast enough to catch it in time. Realizing the danger, Tristan and his Pokémon worked hard to free his parents and Blue first. Once they did, burning debris fell toward the cages. Disaster was imminent, but they were saved by the timely arrival of Hillary and Squirtle. With a race against the clock to save the captured Pokémon and get out of the burning building, just how long can everyone keep their cool?


The fire at Team Rocket Headquarters was still raging out of control, but everyone was surprised at Hillary and Squirtle's timely arrival.

"How in the world did you get a Squirtle to work with under the age of ten?" asked Blue. He had an astonished look on his face.

"Well, it is pretty impressive," agreed Tristan.

"We can answer these questions later, but right now, we have to save the Pokémon and get out of this place!" said Hillary. She saw the Pokémon inside the cages in the far corner of the dungeon. "What's with those powerhouses?"

"Hillary, I learned from Giovanni that those Pokémon belong to the Elite Four!" replied Tristan.

Prima, Bruno, Agatha, and Lance were all shocked. "Those are all our Pokémon!" they gasped.

Sure enough, Cloyster, Slowbro, Jynx, Hitmonchan, Onix, Gengar, Golbat, and Dragonite were all looking very miserable.

"So what are you and Tristan going to do, sweetie?" asked Sarah. "Victoria and Charlie are still trapped."

Sure enough, Victor, Sarah's Venusaur; and Charlie, Bill's Charizard; had miserable expressions on their faces, too.

(Music Cue: A Fight! Real vs. Copy Pokémon (as heard in "Pokémon Double Trouble"))

"Don't worry, Mom," replied Hillary. "Squirtle will help us out. Right, Squirtle?"

Squirtle nodded in agreement.

"And Pikachu and I will help, too," added Tristan.

Pikachu agreed also.

"Tristan, use your Lapras," suggested Hillary. "It can help keep the flames at bay while we set the Pokémon free."

"You're right," replied Tristan as he took out Lapras' Pokéball and threw it. "Lapras, go!"

Lapras emerged from the white light that shot out of it.

"Lapras, use your Water Gun on that fire!" ordered Tristan.

Lapras complied and shot a powerful stream of water at the raging fire.

"Are you ready, sis?" asked Tristan.

"You bet!" replied Hillary. She told the imprisoned Pokémon to move back as far as they could.

Charizard and Blastoise stood by, ready for Tristan's orders.

"Go, Charizard! Use your Flamethrower on the cages!" commanded Tristan.

Charizard shot a powerful flame at the cages, making the metal hot.

"Now it's your turn, Blastoise. Hydro Pump!" instructed Tristan.

"Squirtle, Water Gun attack!" added Hillary.

Blastoise shot two powerful blasts of water from its cannons while Squirtle shot a powerful blast of water from its mouth. Sure enough, the combined Water attacks made the hot parts of the cages rusty.

"All right, Pikachu, use your Quick Attack!" ordered Tristan.

"Help Pikachu with your Tackle attack, Squirtle!" added Hillary.

Pikachu sped toward the cage with a white line trailing behind it while Squirtle charged with a full-body style attack. They successfully broke the cages, setting Blue's and the Elite Four's Pokémon free. Victoria and Charlie were freed, also.

Everyone ran to their Pokémon, who were all overjoyed to see their Trainers.

Blue was especially happy to see his Pokémon, including his Jolteon. "You're all okay!" he cried. "I missed you so much!"

"Hug later! Run now!" cried Hillary as she and Squirtle raced out of the burning dungeon.

"Come on, we'd better follow her!" suggested Bill as he and everyone else ran after her.

Everyone returned their big Pokémon back to their Pokéballs while Hillary kept Squirtle out.

Everyone ran up the stairs from the deepest basement to the first floor and exited the building as fast as they could. All the while, Squirtle was shooting multiple blasts of water at the fire to clear the way.

"You're doing great, Squirtle, just keep up the Water Gun!" said Hillary as she ran.

"You know, Hillary, you're starting to sound like a real Trainer," commended Tristan. "Encouraging your Pokémon and praising them for their hard work. That's part what being a good Trainer is about. Now let's keep going."

"Right!" replied Hillary.

Just as everyone exited the building, the building started collapsing with giant pieces of burning debris falling directly toward everyone.

"Look out! We'll get squashed!" cried Sarah.

"And burned!" added Bill.

Everyone braced themselves and closed their eyes, but fortunately, Mewtwo quickly got in front of everyone and raised a giant glowing blue barrier, shielding everyone from the debris.

Tristan was the first to notice Mewtwo shielding him and his friends from harm. "What's going on?" he asked.

In a moment, the debris stopped falling and Mewtwo's deactivated its protective barrier.

Everyone else opened their eyes.

"It looks like we're okay," said Hillary.

"The Pokémon are all right, too," added Lance.

My powerful barrier shielded everyone from harm, confirmed Mewtwo.

"Thanks a lot, Mewtwo," said Tristan.

Mewtwo nodded.

"But where are the other Legendary Pokémon?" asked Tristan.

Presently, cries were heard from above. Sure enough, there were Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres, safe and sound.

"There they are," said Prima.

"It looks like they avoided the debris by taking cover in the sky," added Bruno.

"Now we can take the Moltres flame back to the Indigo Plateau..." began Tristan, but he soon realized that the Moltres flame was the same one overtaking Team Rocekt Headquarters.

(Music Cue: Desperate Situation 1997-1998)

Everyone gasped in horror as the flame continued to grow and spread into the surrounding forest.

"What do we do?" cried Hillary. "If we don't do something, the forest will be destroyed!"

Moltres landed next to Tristan and felt guilty.

"It's okay, Moltres, it's not your fault," consoled Tristan as he petted it on the head, but he forgot that Moltres' head was flaming too, and so his hand flamed up also. "Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot!"

Squirtle quickly came to Tristan and doused his flame.

"Phew! Thanks a lot, Squirtle," sighed Tristan.

"Tristan, you should know better than to get your hands in fire," scolded Hillary.

"We've gotta get the Moltres flame back to the Indigo Plateau," insisted Bruno.

"But how can we?" asked Agatha. "The fire is way too big!"

I'm afraid we have no choice, said Mewtwo sadly. We must put out the fire.

"But we can't do that!" gasped Hillary. "If we do, then the competition will be cancelled!"

It's the only way, persisted Mewtwo.

Tristan thought about the competition possibly getting cancelled, but also thought about the residing Pokémon in the residing forests running away from their homes. He couldn't bear to see their homes destroyed. "We have to protect the Pokémon," he said at last.

"But what about you?" asked Hillary worriedly.

"The competition is just one thing, but the Pokémon mean everything," said Tristan. "I can't just watch this place burn to the ground without doing something to help them."

Everyone thought about what Tristan just said.

"All right, then, Tristan," said Lance. "Prima, Bruno, Agatha, Blue, your family, and I will all go back to the Indigo Plateau and explain the whole situation to Professor Goodshow while you and Hillary stay behind to fight that fire."

"You can count on us, Lance," said Tristan. "Come on, guys, let's go."

"Right!" replied Hillary as Pikachu nodded.

Prima, Bruno, Agatha, Sarah, Bill, Blue, and Lance quickly got into their helicopter and took off into the sky while Tristan, Hillary, and Pikachu, and the Legendary Pokémon all set off to help put out the fire and save the Pokémon.


(Music Cue: Flying Pokéball Chaos (as heard in "Shell Shock!"))

Tristan sent Blastoise and Lapras back out of their Pokéballs to help battle the raging fire on the outside.

"We have to do something to save the Pokémon living here before this whole forest turns to ash!" said Hillary.

"You're right, sis, and we haven't got much time," agreed Tristan. "Blastoise, Hydro Pump! Lapras, Water Gun!"

"Squirtle, use your Water Gun attack, too!" ordered Hillary.

Everyone fired powerful blasts of water at the fire, but it soon became evident that the combined efforts weren't enough.

"It's no use! That fire's getting way too big!" said Hillary.

"We can't give up now," insisted Tristan. "We'll think of something."

But just then, multiple Flamethrower attacks made a ring of fire, surrounding Tristan and his friends.

"We're trapped!" gasped Hillary.

An army of men in black uniforms smirked evilly as a group of bipedal Pokémon with yellow flames stood in front of them.

"Great balls of fire! It's a group of Magmar!" gasped Tristan

"And look who's commanding them!" added Hillary.

"It's Team Rocket!" exclaimed Tristan.

"Pipi-kachu!" added Pikachu.

"All right, you little twerps, that's as far as you go," said one of the Rocket Grunts. "We can't let you extinguish our fire."

"The bigger our wild Moltres fire gets, the bigger our bank accounts get," said another.

"Let us go!" demanded Hillary. "The Pokémon need our help to rescue them from this fire!"

"Yeah, so get lost!" added Tristan.

"Magmar, silence those kids with your Flamethrower," instructed one of the Grunts.

(Music Cue: Kanto Champion Battle (Last Battle vs. Rival (as heard in "Hello, Pummelo")))

All the Magmar lined up and shot their Flamethrowers at Tristan, Hillary, and Pikachu.

At that moment, Squirtle jumped in front of them and tried to hold them off with its Water Gun attack. But as powerful as it was, it wasn't enough to keep the Magmar down.

"They're too strong!" said Hillary. "What do we do, Tristan?"

"We stay calm and keep fighting," replied Tristan. "A Trainer gives his friends all the moral support they can muster and help them any way they can. And that's why we'll win against Team Rocket."

"Right," replied Hillary. "Keep it up, Squirtle! You can do it, buddy!"

Squirtle heard those words of encouragement, and suddenly, its Water Gun became much more powerful.

"It's working, Hillary!" said Tristan. "Your encouragement is making Squirtle do its very best out there!"

Pikachu agreed as Blastoise and Lapras came forward to help Squirtle fight back against the Magmar.

"Okay, guys, let's extinguish their plans with your best attacks!" commanded Tristan.

Blastoise doused the flames surrounding Tristan and his friends while Lapras surprised everyone by shooting off a large jet of water from its mouth at the Magmar, knocking them out instantly.

"Whoa, that was a Hydro Pump!" gasped Hillary.

"Okay, Hillary, now that the Magmar are taken care of, it's our turn to attack," said Tristan. "Pikachu, use your Thunderbolt on 'em!"

"Squirtle, Water Gun!" ordered Hillary.

Squirtle blasted away with its Water Gun while Pikachu combined its Thunderbolt with the Water Gun to create an extremely powerful explosion blasting all the Team Rocket Grunts and their Magmar off into the sky.

"Thanks for your help, Hillary," said Tristan.

"You, too, Tristan," replied Hillary.

Suddenly, without warning, a pulverizing Thunder attack came at Tristan and his friends from behind.

(Music Cue: Danger! Pikachu!)

They were just in time to see the blast coming at them when Zapdos suddenly took it head on.

"Zapdos!" cried Hillary.

"Zapdos is deflecting the attack!" gasped Tristan.

More people in black uniforms came behind yellow humanoid Pokémon shooting off their attacks.

"Electabuzz, use Thunder!" they all commanded.

"Oh, great, there's more of them?!" exclaimed Hillary.

"These guys just won't quit!" added Tristan. "Hang in there, Zapdos! Give it all you've got!"

Zapdos had absorbed a lot of energy from the lightning blast from earlier in the day, and so decided to use the energy boost as well as the blast the Electabuzz gave it to shoot off an extremely powerful Thunder attack of its own. The force of the attack was so great that it split the ground and shocked the Grunts to the core. Despite the resistance to Electric attacks, they were no match for Zapdos's powerful Thunder attack, causing them all to blast off.

Tristan, Hillary, and their Pokémon friends were amazed at the display.

"That was the most powerful Thunder attack I've ever seen," remarked Tristan.

"I've never seen anything like it," added Hillary.

Those humans won't come back anytime soon, replied Mewtwo. They should have known that it was pointless to go on. Now let's do our job.

(Music Cue: Freeing Charizard (heard in the Japanese version of "Pikachu's Vacation" (as heard in "The Pokémon Water War")))

Tristan and Hillary had almost forgotten about the fire, but they knew they had to help put it out, even if it meant there would be no competition without it.

Blastoise and Lapras combined their Hydro Pump attacks to put out the blaze while Squirtle assisted with its Water Gun. Slowly, but surely, their efforts were making good progress on the fire.

"Keep it up, guys, you're doing great!" commended Tristan.

"You, too, Squirtle!" added Hillary.

Sometime later, several police helicopters came down toward the ground a safe distance from the fire. Out of one of them stepped Officer Jenny and a group of Squirtle. Other officers and firefighters came out, too.

Tristan recognized the first one immediately. "It's Officer Jenny and her Squirtle Squad!" he said.

"I remember them!" added Hillary. "They're the ones who helped put out the fire at the Vermilion Gym!"

Officer Jenny ran over to Tristan, Hillary, and Pikachu. "Are you guys okay?" she asked.

"We're fine, thanks," answered Tristan.

"We have more help on the way, and we'll help put out the fire," said Officer Jenny. Then she saw Tristan's Blastoise helping out. "Say, I remember that Pokémon. It's the very same Pokémon I gave to you, isn't it?"

Tristan nodded. "Blastoise and I have become a real team since we first met."

"It sounds like you've treated it very well," commended Officer Jenny. "Now, let's put out that fire."

The Squirtle Squad, all wearing sunglasses, as well as one Squirtle with different sunglasses worked together to put out the fire. Blastoise, Lapras, and Hillary's Squirtle helped them, too.

The other firefighters and officers sent out a group of Blastoise to help out with their Hydro Pump attacks.

It took a lot of effort, but their efforts managed to put the fire completely out and save the wild Pokémon living in the forests.


(Music Cue: To the Hopeful Sky)

Hours later, everyone was looking at the devastation the fire caused, but were very happy that the chaos was over at last.

"We couldn't have put out the fire without your help, Officer Jenny," said Tristan.

"You kids and your Pokémon really worked well together," commended Officer Jenny. "Tristan, I'm very impressed with the way you, your Blastoise, and your Lapras worked as a team. And you, Hillary, should be very proud of yourself, too, for the way you and Squirtle cooperated and helped your friends out, even as a part-time Trainer."

"Thank you, Officer Jenny," replied Hillary. "But Squirtle deserves most of the credit."

Just then, they heard the sound of whirring blades in the air. It was the helicopter that had all four members of the Elite Four.

"Anybody want a free ride back to the Indigo Plateau?" called Lance.

"It's Lance and the others!" said Tristan.

"I'll see you guys in a little bit, all right?" said Officer Jenny as she and the Squirtle Squad got back into her helicopter and took off into the sky.

I have to go, too, said Mewtwo. The Pokémon and I will meet up with you humans again real soon.

"You can count on it," replied Hillary.

As Tristan, Hillary, and Pikachu got into the helicopter with the Elite Four to go back to the Indigo Plateau, they waved bye-bye to Mewtwo, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres as they flew over the horizon.

"I wonder what kind of adventures they'll be doing now?" said Tristan.

"Who knows?" replied Hillary. "But one thing's for sure. We'll have more adventures, too."

And they thought about it as they flew into the sky back toward the Indigo Plateau.


When Tristan, Hillary, and Pikachu got there a little bit later, Blue, Sarah, Bill, Veronica, and Eric were all overjoyed to see them.

(Music Cue: All's Well that Ends Well)

"We're so glad you're all okay," said Veronica as she hugged Tristan and Hillary. "I was getting worried about you."

"Thank goodness," added Eric.

Sarah and Bill hugged Tristan and Hillary, too.

"We're so very proud of you," commended Sarah.

"But more importantly, you should be proud of yourselves," added Bill.

"Thanks, everyone," said Tristan. "We all did our best out there."

Hillary and Pikachu agreed.

"Hey, Tristan?" said Blue.

"What's up, Blue?" asked Tristan.

"About before," Blue began. He paused and then said, "I just wanted to apologize for how I treated you and Hillary. All I wanted to do was to prove that I could beat you in battle and be number one. But the way I did it was just wrong. I should never have stolen all the Pokémon from the Pokémon Center during the competition and worked for Team Rocket." Tears started to form in his eyes. "Please forgive me. I just wanted to..." His voice started breaking and he started sobbing as he hugged Tristan.

Tristan put his arms around Blue and said, "It's all right, Blue. Everything's back to normal now. Everyone has their Pokémon back, and so do you. Now you can continue your journey. And someday, I hope we can battle again."

"Oh, Tristan, thank you!" sniffled Blue as he blew a hankie.

"Tristan! Hillary!" called a voice.

Tristan, Hillary, and Pikachu turned to see someone familiar running to them.

"Professor Oak!" said Tristan and Hillary together.

"Ah, so you two finally made it back," smiled Professor Oak. "Tristan, you've grown up so much since you first left Pallet Town with Pikachu. You have truly come of age."

"Thanks for the kind words Professor Oak," replied Tristan.

Professor Oak turned to Blue. "Blue, I'm very disappointed in you. I had wanted to see you since you earned your eight badges, but when I came to the Indigo Plateau during the competition, I found out that you were in Team Rocket! What in the world were you thinking?"

"I know, Grandpa," said Blue. "I'm sorry I let you down. But more importantly, I let myself and my Pokémon down."

"My boy, when will you learn that raising your Pokémon doesn't just mean gaining more power?" continued Professor Oak. "It's about giving your Pokémon love and trust. Without them, you'll never think like a champ again. I just hope you've learned your lesson from all this."

"I did, Grandpa," replied Blue. "I'll never join Team Rocket ever again. I now realize that I need to be friends with my Pokémon in order to be a good Trainer."

"That's a good boy," said Professor Oak. "Just remember that lesson, and you'll always be a winner."

"Right!"

"What do you say we head on over to the Pokémon Center for a little rest and relaxation before the next round of the Pokémon League begins?" suggested Tristan.

"I'm in," replied Veronica.

Everyone else agreed.


But when they got to the Pokémon Center, everyone was doomed to disappointment as the female newscaster read the special news bulletin on television.

"Because the flame of Moltres was lost, and there's no spare flame for the central torch, officials at the Pokémon League have confirmed that the rest of the competition will be cancelled," she said.

Everyone gasped in shock.

"But what's going to happen with all the remaining Trainers in this competition?" asked Tristan worriedly.

"Chill out, son," said Bill. "There's a reasonable explanation for this."

"However," continued the newscaster, "Trainers who were still in the competition before the cancellation can continue their challenge in the Orange Archipelago, or more simply, the Orange Islands, where four Gym Leaders in the Orange Crew, plus the leader of the Orange Crew will be waiting. Trainers are strongly encouraged to take on this challenge."

Tristan's expression of disappointment and worry turned into excitement and joy. "All right! This is great! Now I can battle even more Gym Leaders!"

"Sounds like you're thinking of another adventure, young man," smiled Veronica. "You must be excited to go to the Orange Islands for a little fun in the sun."

"I am. I can't wait!" replied Tristan.

"Hey, Tristan?" asked Hillary. "I was wondering if I could come with you. Please, may I?"

Tristan gave it a lot of thought. Finally, he said, "Well. I couldn't have made it this far without you. Actually, we couldn't have made it this far without each other. So, Hillary, what do you say about coming with me to the Orange Islands? Me and Pikachu, that is."

"Hooray!" cried Hillary excitedly. "Thanks so much, Tristan!"

Tristan and Hillary hugged each other as everyone else watched.

"Hillary," said Professor Oak.

"What is it, Professor?" asked Hillary.

"I've recently been informed that you and Squirtle did a remarkable job working together," explained Professor Oak. "And you helped Tristan and Pikachu rescue his family and friends, as well as my grandson, Blue. I'm very proud of you."

"Thanks, Professor Oak," replied Hillary.

"The Elite Four have also told me all about it, and they are just as pleased as I am," continued Professor Oak. "So I've decided to give you the Squirtle as your partner as well as special permission to go on a journey early as a Pokémon Trainer."

(Music Cue: I Got a Victory Badge!)

Hillary could barely contain her excitement. "Wow, Professor Oak! Do you really mean that?"

Professor Oak nodded.

"YES!" shouted Hillary. "I'm now a Trainer!"

"Congratulations, sis!" said Tristan. "I'm very happy for you."

Everyone smiled as Tristan and Hillary embraced one another.

Hillary then knelt closer to Squirtle's level. "So, Squirtle, starting today, you and I are partners full-time," she said.

Squirtle was just as happy for Hillary as Tristan was for her, so it ran into Hillary's arms and they hugged one another.

"Tristan, Hillary?" said Sarah.

"What is it, Mom?" asked Tristan.

"I was wondering what you two want to do after your journey in the Orange Archipelago is over," explained Sarah. "Would you like to come home with your father and me...or would you like to come home with your grandparents?"

Tristan thought about it for awhile. "All of you have been very supportive of Hillary and me ever since I moved to New Bark Town, but I want to make sure I don't become an inconvenience to any of you if you're out on a journey of your own. So maybe I should stay with Grandma and Grandpa for awhile. And maybe when I'm ready, I'll come back to Pallet Town after you're finished. Is that all right?"

Sarah and Bill as well as Veronica and Eric gave the matter a lot of thought.

Finally, Sarah said, "It's a deal. And whenever we decide to build a new house, we'll show you around it when you come visit, and have a battle."

"That's great, Mom. Thank you," replied Tristan.

Sarah and Bill turned to one another.

"Well, honey, shall we go get some sleep and prepare for the next leg of everyone's journey?" asked Sarah.

Bill nodded. "I'm looking forward to the many adventures we have together, dear," he replied. "But we're also looking forward to hearing stories of our children's adventures. We would really love that. Tristan, would you be willing to do that for us?"

"I sure will," said Tristan.

"And I'll make sure Tristan remembers," added Hillary.

"Don't you trust me, Hillary?" asked Tristan.

"Nope," replied Hillary.

Everyone laughed at the heated, but friendly exchange between the two siblings.

Veronica and Eric smiled.

"That's just like us, back when we were kids, right dear?" asked Veronica.

"It sure is, dear." replied Eric. "It sure does."


(Music Cue: Pokémon Theme (as heard in "Friends Till the End"))

Tristan was excited about the new adventures ahead of him in the Orange Islands as he remembered his journey with Pikachu and Hillary through Kanto.

I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause

I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Each Pokémon to understand
The power that's inside

Pokémon (Gotta catch 'em all), it's you and me
I know it's my destiny
(Pokémon!)
Oh, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
Pokémon (Gotta catch 'em all), a heart so true
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me, and I'll teach you
Po-ké-mon!
(Gotta catch 'em all!)
Gotta catch 'em all!

Yeah...

Ev'ry challenge along the way
With courage I will face
I will battle ev'ry day
To claim my rightful place

Come with me, the time is right
There's no better team,
Arm in arm, we'll win the fight
It's always been our dream

Pokémon (Gotta catch 'em all), it's you and me
I know it's my destiny
(Pokémon!)
Oh, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
Pokémon (Gotta catch 'em all), a heart so true
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me, and I'll teach you
Po-ké-mon!
(Gotta catch 'em all!)
Gotta catch 'em all!

Gotta catch 'em all!


And so, our heroes managed to save everyone. And even though the Pokémon League was cancelled, Tristan and his friends now happily continue that challenge on a brand new adventure. And with Hillary becoming the newest Pokémon Trainer, she's ready to help Tristan continue his journey on the road to becoming a Pokémon Master!

Gotta catch 'em all!
Pokémon!

NEXT TIME...
A NEW BEGINNING!
