(One bright and sunny day out on the road.)
(There are large canyons far ahead and the road is between grassy areas that has rocks, trees and bushes.)
(Running down the road is a Pokemon.)
(It's a tan, humanoid Pokémon that is exclusively male and has no female counterpart.)
(There are five blunt protrusions on top of its head, and it has structures resembling pads over its shoulders.)
(It appears to be wearing a light purple tunic and kilt, as well as red boxing gloves and light purple boxing shoes.)
(The Pokemon continues to jog on the road until it comes to a stop and practices its air punch.)
(Suddenly, a young girl peeks out from behind the tree to see the Pokemon.)
(She looks very worried about something.)
(Suddenly, Mew's voice catches her attention.)
Mew: "Wow! Look at that!"
(The young girl quickly hides behind the tree.)
(At the same time, Mew and the others arrive to see the Pokemon.)
Mew: "It's a wild Hitmonchan!"
(Mew says, amazed.)
Misty: "So that's one of those fighting Pokemon I've heard about,"
(Misty says.)
Brock: "That one's a real fighter!"
(Brock says.)
(Mew brings out her Pokedex and Dexter says.)
Dexter: "Hitmonchan, the Punching Pokemon. A Fighting Type. The skilled fighting Pokemon that packs an incredibly fast punch."
Brock: "This Hitmonchan is very pumped up. I wonder what's it up to,"
(Brock says.)
(Mew steps forward.)
Mew: "Let's go ask."
(Mew walks to Hitmonchan and asks.)
Mew: "Hi Hitmonchan, I see you're practicing. Is something special going on?"
Hitmonchan: "Hit Hitmonchan. Hit Hitmon Hitmon Hitmonchan Hitmonchan. Hitmon Hitmonchan," (There is. I'm training with my trainer for a Fighting competition called the P1 Grand Prix. And we plan to win it.)
(Hitmonchan answers.)
Mew: "I see,"
(Mew says.)
(Brock asks.)
Brock: "So what did Hitmonchan say?"
Mew: "Hitmonchan said that he and his trainer are training for a fighting competition called the P1 Grand Prix,"
(Mew says.)
Misty: "So this Hitmonchan isn't wild,"
(Misty says.)
Brock: "I wonder who this Hitmonchan belongs to,"
(Brock says.)
(Suddenly, another Pokemon arrives on the scene.)
(The Pokemon is a small humanoid Pokémon with a predominantly pale.)
(purple body and brown hips and feet that resemble short pants and shoes.)
(It has three blunt protrusions on top of its head, yellow eyes, and circular.)
(sections on each side of its head that resemble protective padding.)
(There are white bands resembling bandages on its torso and wrists.)
(It has thin limbs, and its hands have three fingers each.)
(The Pokemon says.)
Tyrogue: "Tyrogue Tyrogue Tyrogue." (Alright, I'm ready for another battle.)
Hitmonchan: "Hitmon?" (You sure you're ready?)
(Hitmonchan asks.)
Tyrogue: "Tyrogue Ty," (Of course I'm ready.)
(The Pokemon says.)
(Soon, the battle begins to break out.)
(Hitmonchan throws a few punches at the little Pokemon.)
(but the little Pokemon fights back with a Fake out attack.)
(As the two Pokemon fight, Mew and her friends stand and watch.)
Misty: "What kind of Pokemon is that?" Misty asks.
Mew: "I think it's a Tyrogue,"
(Mew says.)
Brock: "It's a Tyrogue alright, but they originated in the Johto Region,"
(Brock says.)
(Mew brings out her Pokedex and Dexter says.)
Dexter: "Tyrogue, the Scuffle Pokemon. A Fighting Type. Even though it is small, it can't be ignored because it will slug any handy target without warning."
Mew: "If I remember correctly, Tyrogue is also the pre-evolved form of a Hitmonchan,"
(Mew says.)
Brock: "Right. Tyroge has a three way branch evolution. Depending on how Tyrogue is raised it can evolve to a Hitmonlee or Hitomonchan of the Kanto. In Johto, it can also evolve into Hitmontop,"
(Brock says.)
Misty: "Well, this Tyrogue is also pretty spunky,"
(Misty says.)
(Just then, they see Tyrogue perform the attack called Brick Break and is able to get a hit on Hitmonchan.)
Mew: "And it's actually tougher than it looks,"
(Mew says.)
(Suddenly, they hear someone say.)
???: "How many times do I have to tell ya? Don't drop your guard!"
Hitmonchan: "Chan," (Right.)
(Hitmonchan says.)
(Mew and the others soon see a man wearing a white shirt, black pants and has a red town on his shoulders.)
(He has tank skih, dark brown hair, and brown eyes.)
(The man says.)
???: "Keep your gloves up, Hitmonchan, cause fighting smart hurts less than fighting stupid."
Hitmonchan: "Chan," (Right.)
(Hitmonchan answers.)
(Then says.)
???: "Now, go show this little trainee what it takes!"
Mew: "Uh oh,"
(Mew and her friends reply.)
(Just then, Hitmonchan begins to punch Tyrogue with multiple punches until it's knocked out.)
(Then Hitmonchan gives it the final uppercut punch and sends it flying and crashing to the ground.)
Mew: "Looks like Hitmonchan won that round,"
(Mew says.)
(Pikachu and Eevee nod their heads in reply.)
(Mew kneels down and picks up the little Tyrogue.)
Mew: "You okay, little guy."
(The man walks to his Pokemon and says.)
???: "I declare Hitmonchan the winner! Congratulations! One, two, three.. HOORAY!"
(Both the man and Hitmonchan raise their fist up in victory.)
Mew: "I wonder who this guy is,"
(Mew replies.)
Misty: "He's a pretty serious trainer,"
(Misty says.)
Brock: "Guess that's Hitmonchan's trainer,"
(Brock suspects.)
(Suddenly, they hear someone calling out.)
???: "Daddy!"
(The group turns their heads to see a young girl hurrying to the man.)
(She's wearing a white shirt, a blue skirt, and red shoes.)
???: "Daddy, please come home!"
(The young girl says.)
(Confused, the man says.)
???: "Rebecca?"
(The girl, Rebecca, begs the man that is her father.)
Rebecca: "Daddy, please quit Pokemon training and come home with me!"
???: "I won't come home until I become champion of the P1 Grand Prix,"
(The man denies.)
Rebecca: "Daddy!"
(The girl says, sounding upset.)
(The man then says to Mew and her friends.)
???: "I'll be in the gym taking on challengers. The gym's that way. I'll be waiting for ya."
(The man and Hitmonchan begin to jog off with their workout.)
(The young girl, Rebecca looks devastated that she's on the verge of tears.)
(Rebecca sadly says.)
Rebecca: "Oh well."
(Seeing the girl, Brock quickly comes to the girl.)
Brock: "Can I be of help to you, young lady?"
(The girl, Rebecca bows her head.)
Rebecca: "I'm really sorry my father bothered you."
Brock: "No problem,"
(Brock says.)
(Then Rebecca asks.)
Rebecca: "Can I ask a favor of you Pokemon trainers? A really, really big favor?"
Brock: "Please feel free to ask. We'll be glad to help in any way possible,"
(Brock says, eager to assist.)
Rebecca: "Thank you. Please, I want you to defeat my father's Hitmonchan,"
(Rebecca says.)
(The group of friends become confused.)
(Brock quickly says, holding her hands.)
Brock: "We'll do it for ya!"
(The group soon arrives at a building that has the sign that reads 'Fighting Spirit.')
(Soon, the group is inside to see a lot of gym equipment.)
Misty: "The Fighting Spirit gym,"
(Misty says, reading the sign.)
Mew: "This sure doesn't look like an ordinary Pokemon gym,"
(Mew says, looking around.)
(Brock notices the Poster and asks.)
Brock: "What's the P1 Grand Prix?"
Rebecca: "P1 is short for 'Pokemon Number 1 Grand Prix'. It's a tournament for fighting Pokemon. Because my father wants to win the P1, he's training all the time and ignoring his family,"
(Rebecca says.)
Brock: "So if we defeat that Hitmonchan, your dad will come to his senses and go back home,"
(Brock suspects.)
(Rebecca nods her head and says.)
Rebecca: "Right"
Brock: "Ha! Just leave it to us!"
(Brock says, sounding confident.)
(Mew says, confused.)
Mew: "Leave it.."
Misty: "To us?"
(Misty adds.)
Brock: "We'll take care of it,"
(Brock says.)
(Then turns to Mew.)
Brock: "Mew, don't you have a fighting Pokemon we could use?"
Mew: "You mean Primeape?"
(Mew asks.)
Brock: "Yep,"
(Brock says.)
(Mew nods her head.)
Mew: "Yeah. Primeape should be able to do the job."
Brock: "And I've got Geodude. We'll both enter the tournament, and defeat that Hitmonchan!"
(Brock says.)
(Mew then looks at Tyrogue and asks.)
Mew: "What about Tyrogue, isn't he one of your dad's Pokemon?"
Rebecca: "Oh no, Tyrogue is a wild Pokemon. He comes over once in a while to train with my father and Hitmonchan,"
(Rebecca says.)
Mew: "Really?"
(Mew says.)
(Then kneels to Tyrogue.)
Mew: "Wanna come with us to the P1 Competition? You might learn from the other fighting Pokemon, and you'll have a lot of fun."
Tyrogue: "Tyrogue," (Sure.)
(Tyrogue says.)
(At the stadium where the P-1 is being placed, our heroes are heading there now.)
(Unknown to them, Team Rocket is there as well.)
(They also see the poster for the fighting tournament.)
James: "A big Pokemon match!"
(James says.)
Meowth: "And feast your eyes on that prize!"
(Meowth says.)
Jessie: "I'd love to get my hands on that championship belt,"
(Jessie says.)
(Then James says.)
James: "And if we sold the belt, we could stuff ourselves at the all-you-can-eat buffet!
(Soon, Meowth begins to daydream about food.)
Meowth: "Unlimited food! Honey-glazed ham, roast leg of lamb, strawberry jam."
James: "Sirloin steaks, chocolate cakes,"
(James says, having the same daydream.)
(Jessie becomes annoyed with them and angrily demands.)
Jessie: "Can't you numskulls think of anything but food?!"
(She then smacks the two with fans.)
Meowth: "What would you do with the money, Jessie?"
(Meowth asks, still has the bruise on his face.)
Jessie: "Who? Me?"
(Jessie asks.)
James: "Yes, Jessie. What would you do if you had some extra cash?"
(James says.)
(Jessie answers with sparkles in her eyes.)
Jessie: "First, I'd go to the salon and get a complete facial. Then, I'd get my hair and makeup done. Then I'd go on a major shopping spree for dresses and half-backs and shoes. Then I'd do a bit of jewelry shopping. And after all that, I'd invite some close friends over for a nice quiet dinner at home."
(Jessie soon begins to fantasize all of it in her mind.)
(However, James breaks her dream by saying.)
James: "I hate to interrupt your internal dream sequence, but shouldn't we figure out how to get into this competition? Only fighting Pokemon are allowed."
Meowth: "Of which, we currently have none,"
(Meowth adds.)
Jessie: "Well, then, we'll just have to borrow one, won't we? All we have to do is find one,"
(Jessie says.)
(Soon, they hear footsteps and turn their heads to see a man wearing a large gray coat and hat walking past them with a Pokemon.)
(The Pokemon is a humanoid Pokémon with an ovoid body.)
(Lacking a distinct neck and head, its upper torso has almond-shaped eyes.)
(with black space around them and appears to lack a nose and mouth.)
(it's brown, it has cream-colored, segmented arms and legs.)
(Each hand has three fingers and each foot has three clawed toes.)
(The soles of its feet and its ankles have circular, yellow pads.)
Jessie: "Like that one, there,"
(Jessie says.)
Meowth: "What is it?"
(Meowth asks.)
(Seeing the Pokemon, James says.)
James: "Hitmonlee, The Kicking Fiend!"
(Team Rocket evilly smirks and sees the fighting Pokemon they plan to use.)
