It's me, Misty, the leader of the

Cerulean City Gym.

You know, the best type, water Pokemon.

I'm here with this kid.

- Ash Ketchum.

- He still owes me a bike.

Which is the only reason we're hanging out.

I need to keep an eye on him, you know?

- Will you get over the bike?

- Since my specialty is water type,

we are here in Santa Monica by the

Santa Monica Pier at the beach

to find all the best water Pokemon.

Let's go.

All right, so in typical Ash fashion,

Ash's Pokedex crashed after we caught

so many Pokemon.

What do you have to say for yourself, Ash?

- Uhm.

I'm going to have to call up Professor Oak

because he gave me a faulty Pokedex.

Obviously.

- Typical of Ash.

- Me?!

I didn't design it.

I didn't make it a thing.

- But no for real.

Recording messed up so we got to

just catch more Pokemon.

I'm totally cool with that because

I love catching Pokemon so

let's catch some more water Pokemon shall we?!

- More Pokemon.

- So obviously as Misty my specialty

is water Pokemon so that's what we're

going to be focusing on today,

but I happened to see a Dugtrio

and

I just can't resist.

- Yeah. (gasps)

- There he is

in the water which makes not a

whole lot of sense.

Go Pokeball!

Got him!

- There you go, there you go.

- All right.

One, two.

No!

- Gahh!

(grunts)

Might need to give him a raspberry.

- Non-water Pokemon are such jerks.

- They're just smart enough to know that

they don't want to be your Pokemon.

Smart Dugtrio.

- Rude.

There we go.

- There you go.

- You better stay in this darn

Pokeball you stupid ground type.

There we go.

Horsea?!

(gasps)

(exhales)

I love Horsea so much.

Come to me, baby.

Come to me, my love.

Please.

Oh, look at him!

Okay, this lady needs to get away

from my Horsea because I swear if

she steals my first Horsea.

You're getting all the raspberries

because you are beautiful.

Oh don't be sassy.

Go!

- There we go, there we go.

- Please, please, please, please, please.

No! - [Ash] Gahh!

- Okay, I'll use a Great Ball because--

- She's worth it?

- You're worth it.

You're worth it, Horsea.

(chuckles)

- Love that freeze frame.

- That lady though.

(chuckles)

One, two.

Oh, JK, three yes!

- Yep, there it is.

- Horsea was caught, this is my very first Horsea.

Oh my gosh, a Hitmonchan.

- Oh my goodness!

- [Both] 764?!

- Dang!

- Okay.

- That deserves an Ultra Ball, I think.

- I guess I'll use my very first

Ultra Ball on you.

You non-water type.

Yes.

- I'm starting to wonder if you're

even a water type trainer.

- Okay, Ash.

Sometimes you need the non-water types

to remind the water types how awesome they are.

- Okay, I'm going to give you a raspberry.

- Oh my gosh, I'm wasting all my Ultra Balls

on this stupid Hitmonchan.

Oh my God!!

(chuckles)

- Oh my gosh.

- I swear to Arceus if you don't!

Okay.

One.

Two, I feel like a mom right now.

Three, yes!

- Nice.

- You know how moms when they're mad

at you they'll count down like

you have three seconds to do things.

They'll just start going, "One."

- "Two."

- You have no idea what happens if she

gets to three, but you're like, "Oh!

Can't find out so got to do the thing."

That's what I just did to Hitmonchan.

I've never seen a Seel before.

I mean except at my gym because

I'm a gym leader.

Water type gym in Cerulean City

and there's water everywhere so

of course I'm familiar with Seels

and have a bunch of them and even Dewgongs, but

(gasps)

Seel!

Look how cute he is on the beach!

Gotcha!

- There you go.

- I don't have any Tentacool.

- Oh there you go, catch that Tentacool.

- All right, Tentacool.

No, Magikarp!

(laughs)

Ugh!

It's so typical of Magikarp!

- Just splash his way right into the scene.

- "Karp, karp, karp, karp."

Don't let me down.

You want me to catch you so bad,

you stay in that Pokeball.

Oh my!

- Come on, you have this.

It's a Magikarp.

- I know it's a Magikarp, Ash!

- Still, you should be able to catch a Magikarp.

- I can catch a Magikarp, okay?

- Are you sure?

- I'm sure.

- Okay, okay.

And it's stuck.

I think you caught it, but it's.

Are you crying?

- Okay.

I just.

I don't know how to.

(imitates crying)

You can't really see the tears

on my face, but I am tearing just

because of the wind, but

so it crashed, great, okay.

We're back in the game. - [Ash] We're back in.

- First, let's hit up these Pokestops.

- Yes.

- Swipe on the Santa Monica Pier.

Boom, boom, boom.

- Boom, boom, boom.

- Pokeballs for days.

- I mean you're surrounded by water types.

(squeals)

This is a dream.

Oh?

- Oh?

- Uhm, uhm, Tentacool?

- It's supposed to be right there.

- Oh man, okay.

- There will be, oh--

- Oh, okay.

- There it is, there it is.

- Invisible Tentacool, that's special.

- That is.

- And somehow I'm better at catching invisible.

Oh.

- Oh.

- I think there must be like a Haunter or a Gengar

around here because this is not normal.

- Not doing good.

- While we're going up on the pier

let me show you what this pier

looks like right now.

Here's the end of the pier with the gym, right?

Some Pokestops, some lures.

Oh cool, that's a bunch of Pokestops.

No, that's just the beginning.

Do you see this?!

- It's crazy.

It's crazy.

- I hate this word, but it's lit.

(gasps)

- I'm just glad to.

- Is that a Poliwrath or is it a--

- Poliwhirl.

- Poliwhirl.

- Hey that's still Poliwhirl.

- Oh my gosh.

- Catch it, catch it.

- Go.

All right, all right.

- Fingers crossed, fingers crossed.

One wiggle.

- [Both] Nope!

- It needs a raspberry.

- Not even one wiggle.

- You need to give him a treat.

- I'll give you a treat because you're worth it.

Because you're a water type and I love you.

- You got this.

- Go!

- K.

- [Man] Hey.

Can we take a picture of you guys?

- Yeah.

- Nice.

Got it.

- Got him.

(laughs)

We just heard someone up on the deck

say, "That's the best thing I've seen so far."

- Yep.

- "Ash and Misty at Santa Monica Pier."

- It's so great.

- Poliwag.

- [Man] What team?

- Mystic.

- Blue.

- [Man] Yeah!

Woo!

(chuckles)

- Oh no we have an invisible Poliwag.

It's considerably more crowded up here.

- Yes it is.

- I don't know if you can tell.

A lot of humans.

Pinsir.

Ahh, I'll check how much CP he is, but.

- Yeah.

Could be a real winner.

Oh yeah, that's worth it.

- Okay, 710.

- That's worth it.

- I'll give you a shot.

Go!

(chuckles)

- Nice curve ball.

- [Both] Okay.

(chuckles)

- Okay.

Okay!

- Pinsir got.

- [Man] We're Team Rocket, son.

- Oh my gosh, oh my goodness.

- Where's Pikachu, though?

- Wouldn't you like to know.

- Yeah.

- Well I would like to know where's Pikachu?

- Not in your Pokeball.

- [Man] Ohh, shit!

(laughs)

- We would run into Team Rocket here.

(scoffs)

- No one's safe.

(gasps)

Psyduck!

- There you go, boom, water type.

- Psyduck may be annoying, but he's

pretty powerful when he's not--

- [Woman] Pokemon!

- 44 CP, Pokemon high-fives to strangers.

- He's a duck that can fly.

Ducks fly.

- Yeah.

- I don't know how well Psyduck flies.

- What Pokemon have you caught?

- Hopefully Psyduck.

- Yeah, I want a Psyduck too.

(gasps)

- Hi!

- Hey.

- Hello, friend, this is my friend.
