Are you guys ready for today's Pokemon story? 10 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 1: Me too, Let's go. It was a beautiful day and 11 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,160 Speaker 1: Ethan and Sam were headed over to their grandpa's house. 12 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: They love going over there and hearing amazing stories and exploring. 13 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: You see that their grandpa lived on a big piece 14 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: of property with a whole bunch of really cool land 15 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: that you could go exploring on. But one of their 16 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: most favorite parts of visiting their grandpa was hearing all 17 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: of his Pokemon adventure stories. Yeah, their grandpa was a 18 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: real Pokemon trainer back in the day when Pokemon were around. 19 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: But unfortunately, something strange happened and all the Pokemon disappeared. 20 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: So that's why Ethan and Sam now living in a 21 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: world without any Pokemon, or so they thought. Sam, are 22 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: you ready? Do you have everything? I'll packed up and 23 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,839 Speaker 1: ready to go, said Ethan. Yeah, but I just can't 24 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: find my shoes. Uh, Ethan, have you seen my shoes? Oh? 25 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: Why don't you check outside? Maybe by the slide. Oh yeah, 26 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: I'll go check. Sam ran out to the backyard and 27 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: sure enough, his shoes were sitting in the bottom of 28 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: the slide. Sometimes he liked to them off when he 29 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: was going up and down the slide because it was 30 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: a lot easier to climb up the slide without his 31 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: shoes on. As Sam came back inside, he was disappointed, 32 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: and Ethan could tell Sam what's wrong. Well, because I 33 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: left my shoes out there overnight. They're kind of wet 34 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: from the dew. Oh yeah, that's I don't like when 35 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: that happens either. But that's why we gotta remember to 36 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: bring our shoes inside, said Ethan. I know, try and 37 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: remember next time, said Sam. The two of them got 38 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: the rest of all their things, got in the car, 39 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: and off they drove to their grandpa's house. Their grandpa 40 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: lived way out in the country. They had to drive 41 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 1: over big hills and across a few rivers, on a bridge. 42 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: Those are really fun when you look down and you 43 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: can see all the water rushing under the road. Wow, 44 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: I love driving over rivers. What's your favorite thing to 45 00:02:54,800 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: drive past or over? Do you like driving past lake 46 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 1: or a mountain? Yeah? That is those are really cool. Well. 47 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: As Ethan and Sam approached their grandpa's house, they just 48 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: couldn't wait. They almost jumped out of the car before 49 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: it stopped moving. Ethan Sam Hold up, wait, slow down, 50 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: said their parents. Ethan and Sam were running up the 51 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: driveway as fast as they could and jumped into their 52 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: grandpa's arms. Hey, what's going on, guys? Their grandpa said, Oh, 53 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 1: you guys got a lot better than the last time 54 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: I saw you. Grandpa shouted Sam. We've been looking forward 55 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: to this for a baro by mom, by Dad, they shouted. 56 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: Ethan and Sam were about to enter an adventure that 57 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: they had no idea about. All right, boys, so what 58 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,119 Speaker 1: do we want to do? First? Adventures or stories? Said 59 00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: their grandpa. Both said Ethan, All right, then we'll go 60 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: on an adventure and I'll tell us story. Let's go. 61 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: Their grandpa led the way in Ethan and Sam eagerly 62 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: dropped all of their stuff off on the front porch, 63 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: and off they ran on their adventure together, Grandpa, So, like, 64 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: did you really see real Pokemon back in the day? Oh, 65 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: of course, of course. You see, this ranch used to 66 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: be full of Pokemon. This I used to call my 67 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: Pokemon sanctuary, and they do you see those fields up there? 68 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: Up ahead? There were some big fields with trees and rocks, 69 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: and it was really cool. You see that that hill 70 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: over there? There used to be so many char manders 71 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: and score bunnies. Wow, that was that was a very 72 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: special place. Just to be able to see them in 73 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: their natural surroundings, free and happy, be That's what I 74 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 1: loved about it the most, said their grandpa. But I 75 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 1: still don't understand. Like where did they go? Said Sam? 76 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 1: Like they were here one day and then I've always 77 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: heard that they just disappeared all of a sudden. Did 78 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,239 Speaker 1: someone take them? Or like what happened? Well, you see, Sam, 79 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: not everyone viewed Pokemon the way that you and I do. 80 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: You see, people started to take advantage of Pokemon in 81 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: a way that was not healthy or helpful to them. 82 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: So one day, I think it was a mewtwo that 83 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: decided that it was time to leave. They all vanished, 84 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: and traveled to another planet far away. As they were 85 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: hiking up the trail towards that Pokemon hill, Ethan and 86 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: Sam couldn't help but just wish and dream that they 87 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: lived in a world where Pokemon were. Do you think 88 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: they'll ever come back? Said Ethan. I don't know why. 89 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: I sure hope so. And that's that's why I keep 90 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: this farm and ranch just the way it was, just 91 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: in case they want a safe place to come back 92 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: to earth Shure. Sure, what was that, Grandpa? Did you 93 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: hear that? Said Ethan? I did? That sounded very familiar. 94 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: It almost sounded like a charmnder. Ethan and Sam both 95 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: ran up ahead towards where they had heard the sound. Wait, boys, 96 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: hold on their Grandpa was trying to keep up, but 97 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: they were a lot faster than him. Sam was the 98 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: first one to reach the top of the hill. Eathan, 99 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: do you see anything? They were out of breath from 100 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: running so fast and so far. No, I don't, Scar, Scar, 101 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: I hear something else? What is that? Said Ethan. Sam 102 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: and Ethan started looking all around, but at the top 103 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,919 Speaker 1: of the hill there were so many bushes and so 104 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: many rocks. There are a lot of hiding places for 105 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: whoever is making that sound? Boys, come over here. Look 106 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: at this, shouted their grandpa. Ethan and Sam took off 107 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: running towards their grandpa. What is it, Grandpa, shouted Sam. Well, 108 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: I don't believe my eyes. It's it's been fifteen years 109 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: since I've seen one of these. This is a Charmander, 110 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: shouted Ethan. They couldn't believe it. There was a young 111 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: charm Mander standing right in front of them. Jar jar. 112 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: And look at that. Over there, shouted Sam. Hiding in 113 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: one of the bushes was a score Bunny. Score score. 114 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: What that is my favorite Pokemon? How is this happening? 115 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: Shouted Sam.
