Pikachu quotes from Pokémon: The First Movie (1998)

Togepi, the egg Pokémon. It exhibits a low tolerance for hunger. It is able to communicate this condition in a very effective manner.

PRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!

Squirtle!

Psy!

Pikachu

Pika, Pika, Pi..ka..chu. Huh?

Narrator

Today, Ash, Brock and Misty are taking a short break from their Pokémon adventures. As always, Ash is determined to become a Pokémon Master. And, as always, he's ready to endure any hardship, bear any burden with strength, stamina and a will of steel.

Hungry. Need food.

Oh, Ash, you haven't done a thing all day!

I'm too weak to work, Misty; I haven't eaten since breakfast.

Ohh.

This lunch is gonna be just perfect for you, Ash. It's my Lazy-Boy No-Chew Stew.

Hey! You, there! I'm looking for a Pokémon trainer named Ash from Pallet Town. You know him?

Yeah, he's me.

Let's have a match! Unless you're afraid to lose! [grabs a Pokéball]

Ha! I'm afraid you're going to lose this one!

Ash, you just said you were too weak to work!

That's right, I am too weak to work, but a Pokémon battle isn't work.

That's progress. At least his mouth is working.

Pikachu

Pikachu.

Uhh! OH, NO!

We did it!

Pikachu

Pika!

Well, that sure was a shocking ending.

Shocking that Ash moved so fast.

Prri!

Come back here! Or I'll place you under arrest!

Dewgong-Gong!

Come back! [her hat flies off her head] Aah!

Some trainers have no fear.

Huh?

To them, this is just one more challenge. They follow their hearts. That is what sets them apart and will make them Pokémon Masters. [Corey, Fergus and Neesha are riding their respective Pokémon to get to New Island] Good luck to all of you.

The world's greatest Pokémon Master is waiting for me! Let's use our Pokémon to get to that island!

Pikachu

Pika!

Ash, our Pokémon aren't strong enough; They can't handle giant waves like this!

Guess you're right.

Pikachu

Pika, Pika.

You vant to cross, maybe? Ve take you, ja? Ve Vikings are used to big vaves. Ve get you to New Island faster than you can say, Fahrvernugen. [cut to Jessie and James rowing the Viking boat] Stroke!

Unh!

Stroke!

Unh! Unh!

Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! [normal voice; to herself] Oh, I think I'm going to have one!

I didn't know Vikings still existed.

They mostly live in Minnesota.

Something's not right. Are you sure this boat's safe?

Whoa!

Pikachu

Pika!

Don't vorry. Dis ship von't let you down. Ve alvays sail in da rough veather. Don't get upset.

Tell my stomach...

Heave.

Ho.

Heave.

Ho.

Heave.

Ho.

It's alright, Togepi. We're gonna be okay.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOA!

Those aren't Vikings!

It's Team Rocket!

I should've known there was something fishy about them, besides the way they smell!

Ha! Prepare for trouble!

Make it double!

Forget the motto! We're going to have to wait--

AAAAAAAAH!
[The wave hits the boat, throwing everyone overboard]

HEY! [follows the Clone Ball to Mewtwo's lab] YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET PIKACHU!

There goes...Alakazam...Dewgong...Vileplume!

Sandshrew, Nidoqueen, Vaporeon. [looks at his clone] But me, I got a special place in my tail for this one.

Ugh!

Huh?

Ohh.

Yeeeh!

Look there!

Uhh. [to Team Rocket] Aah, I don't have time for your dumb motto today! [grabs Pikachu's ball but a claw grabs the ball and carries Ash with the ball]

Who's that Pokémon? It's Pikachu!

Ow! Let go! Ugh! Stupid machine! Ugh! GIVE ME BACK MY...PIKACHU! [biting the machine arm, growling in anger] AAAARRGGH!

What's happening?!

Huh? [happily] Ahh! [Pikachu shakes his head and sputters] Pikachu!

Pikachu

Pi? [happily] Pika-Pi! [turns around and runs to Ash, and they both hug, while Ash laughs] Ka!

I'm so glad you're okay.

Pikachu

Ka!

The copies are hatching! [the Pokémon clones start to hatch; amazed] They're fabulous fakes.

Send in da Clones!

But where are the real ones?

Pikachu

Pika?

I wonder if they feel--

Clonesome.

WHOA!

The Poké originals!

Tentacruel. [hugs Team Rocket with its tentacles, scaring them]

Ash, wait!

YOU'VE GOTTA STOP RIGHT NOW! [Mew and Mewtwo both fire off powerful beams] STOOOOOOP!!!! [gets hit by both blasts]

ASH!

OH, NO!

Pikachu

PIKA-PI!

Mewtwo

Fool! Trying to stop our battle?

Mew?

Pikachu

Pika-Pi! [runs to Ash] Pikachu? [Ash's body turns to stone. He tries to wake up Ash by shaking him to no avail] Pika. Pika-pi. [Gyarados and its clone start roaring, along with Rhyhorn and its clone] Pika-pi. Pika. CHU! [uses Thunderbolt on Ash, but he doesn't wake up] Pika. CHU! CHU! CHU! CHU! CHU!

Please, no...

Pikachu

CHU! [panting] Pika. Pika. [uses Thunderbolt one last time] CHU! [stops using Thunderbolt in exhaustion and is panting heavily] Pika. Pika. [realizes Ash is gone; voice breaking] Pika-Pi... [starts shedding tears] Pika-Pi...

Pikachu

Pika? [in concern] Pika-Pi? [drops a few more tears on Ash's stone body]

Pikachu

Pi? [in happiness] Pika!

Huh? [in shock] Oh. [smiles] Mmmm. [happily] Pikachu!

Pikachu

Pika-Pi! [runs to Ash]

Mewtwo

A human sacrificed himself to save the Pokémon. I pitted them against each other, but not until they set aside their differences, did I see the true power they all share deep inside.

Mew.

Mewtwo

I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.

Mew.

Mewtwo, where are you going?

Mewtwo

Where my heart can learn what yours knows so well. What transpired here, I will always remember. But perhaps for you, these events are best forgotten. [disappears into the clouds with the clones and Mew]
[A bright blue light from the ground begins to lift Ash, the Trainers, the Pokémon, and the light continues to increase throughout the stadium]

This could be the worst storm ever.

You must listen to me. You have got to find shelter.

Excuse me, please. [the Pokémon Trainers see her] The Pokémon Treatment Center will be open as a shelter. Anyone who needs a place to stay should come with me. [walks to the Pokémon Treatment Center, and the other Trainers follow suit]

You think they'll have a pizza down there?

Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny are really great. They just keep getting more beautiful every time I see 'em.

Hey, guys, how'd we wind up in this place anyway?

Well, I guess we're just here because we're here.

Pikachu

Pika.

Yeah. Let's eat!

Uh-huh.

Look, it's a miracle.

Huh? [they all step outside and gasp is awe]

I can't believe it.

The storm disappeared.

That's so weird.

it's good to have things clear again.

Hmm.

Hey, what's that?

Hmm?

What's what? [Mew disappears] I don't see anything, Ash.

Except the sky.

Hmm. The day I left home to start my Pokémon journey, I saw a really rare Pokémon, and just now, I thought I saw another one.

Well, maybe you're just seeing things, Ash.

Huh?

Well, maybe he's not.

Ha-ha! Hmm. Well, maybe we'll see.

Pikachu

Pikachu.

Narrator

Many strange legends surround the mysteries of Pokémon, and just as many adventures await our young heroes as they continue on their quest. For Ash and his friends, the journey's just begun.

I don't have a clue how we got here, but who cares?

This is paradise!

For once, a happy ending!

Team Rocket signing off again! [they laugh happily]

Do you have any sunscreen?

You know, I'd really like to go sailing in one of them catamarans. Ha-ha!
