'''Lights, Camera, Quack-tion''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン・ザ・ムービー！''' ''Pokémon the Movie!'') is the 69th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on November 5, 1998 and in the United States on October 8, 1999.  

{{spoilers}}

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are at a campsite, training for the [[Pokémon League]], when they meet a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named {{ka|Katrina}}. Though {{an|Brock}} tries to make an advance, Ash quickly accepts an offer to {{pkmn|battle}} against her {{p|Raichu}} with {{AP|Pikachu}}. However, before the battle begins, {{TRT}} suddenly appears with a net in an attempt to snag Pikachu. However, they end up catching Raichu in the net instead. After the realization that Pikachu had not been caught hit them, Raichu breaks free, and uses a {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Mega Kick}} to knock Team Rocket over. As they are preparing to send Team Rocket flying, a voice yells "Cut". It had turned out that during this entire exchange, they had unknowingly been filmed.

That night, Ash is worried as another day is wasted from not training. Brock and Misty console him, though, as it is not every day he can take part in a movie, and he also met a rival Trainer (Katrina) in the process. Schpielbunk thinks that Ash's adventures would be great movie material, and that any male lead would have plenty of female fans (to which Brock immediately tries to sign up for the role). The episode closes out with Wigglytuff and Psyduck alone by the lake, while Team Rocket is stuck in another precarious position.
