The Legend of Dratini (unofficial English name; Japanese: ミニリュウのでんせつ The Legend of Miniryu) is the 35th episode of the Pokémon anime. It was first broadcast in Japan on November 25, 1997, but never broadcast in the US or most parts of other countries airing the 4Kids Entertainment dub.
Synopsis
As the episode opens with various Pokemon relaxing in the Safari Zone, we see our heroes touring the area. Ash is singing while the narrator explains that the group hasn't yet caught a single Pokemon, but with so many Pokemon in this area, it's understandable why anyone would want to sing.
As the group approaches a building, Ash sings that they're in the Safari Zone. Brock asks Ash to stop singing, which Ash ignores and continues to sing. Brock asks Misty to do something, and she replies by singing along with Ash! Naturally, Brock decides to sing as well. Before he can do so, however, a man approaches from the building and demands they shut up!
Ash demands what the man's problem is, to which the man pulls a gun out and replies, "Do you want to get shot?" The group hastily apologizes, and the man relents. He then introduces himself as Kaiza, who's none other than the care-taker of the Safari Zone!
Inside the building, Kaiza shows the group a basket of Safari Balls and a fishing rod. Ash is delighted a reaches out eagerly for them, but Kaiza pulls his gun out and explains the rules of the Safari Zone: All that's permitted are Safari Balls and fishing rods. If they break the rules, his "Thunderbolt" will burn them. He then points the gun at Ash's head to demonstrate his point.
Misty notices a picture of Kaiza as a young boy, and he's holding a Dratini! As Ash and Misty view the picture, Brock tells them about a rumor of a Dratini living in the Safari Zone, and the picture certainly proves that rumor true. Before this can be expanded on any further, Kaiza leaps forward and snatches the picture from Misty's hand, screaming that there is no Dratini! Ash argues otherwise, but seeing Kaiza reach for his gun is more than enough to make him take his statement back.
Kaiza leaves the group, taking the picture with him. Misty wonders why he acts so serious, to which Brock replies that something must be up for him to act like this. Ash suggests that they ask Professor Oak, which the rest agree on.
The focus then shifts on Kaiza, who's standing outside the building staring at the picture. He apologizes to Dratini and says he'll never bother it again. While this happens, Oak explains to the kids that he knows Kaiza well. 30 years ago, a Dratini was found in the Safari Zone by Kaiza himself! Trainers from all over flocked to the Safari Zone just to see the mythical creature, but while they were there, they captured many other Pokemon in the process, literally destroying the Safari Zone. Since then, only Safari Balls have been allowed there. The Dratini was never found; all that remains is a picture.

Trivia
- This episode (and the lack of it) created a major plot hole, confusing many fans on how Ash captured 30 Tauros, although Professor Oak mentioned it once in Showdown at the Poké Corral.
Errors
Dub edits
- This episode was never aired due to large use of firearms, though dubbed copies were created and still exist.
- There is another possible contributing reason as to why this episode was never aired. When James and Meowth do a police-like interrogation on Kaizer, Meowth has a mustache that has striking similarity to the mustache that Adolf Hitler had.
In other languages
As most dubs are based on the English adaptation, this episode has not aired in most of the world outside of Japan. Template:Epstub Template:EpisodePrevNext
