'''''[[Pokémon Live!''']]'' is, in simple words, [[The Musical]] stage show based on the ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' anime. It ran late in 2000 and is one of the first ''Pokémon''-based productions made entirely in America. It's not canonical to the anime it's based on, but the story does seem to fit the bill of a [[Musical Episode]]. The soundtrack was made of songs from the [[Image Song]] album ''2.B.A. Master'', as well as a few songs from the later album ''Totally Pokémon'' and some exclusive musical numbers not heard anywhere else.
 
The story begins with a mysterious Gym Leader challenging all trainers to battle him for his one-of-a-kind Gym Badge, the Diamond Badge. Ash Ketchum, protagonist of the anime, is determined to win this Badge. However, he is also put through a dilemma of sorts; his friend Misty is upset that [[Forgotten Birthday|he never made good on his promise to take her to the movies for her birthday three weeks ago]], which she points out is an example of him focusing so much on his Pokémon training that he is ignoring his friends.

If you'd like to know how it ends, you'll have to check the full transcript on [http://www.fanpop.com/spots/pokemon/articles/87449/title/original-pokemon-live-script this site]; this show's tour was only for a few months. Or, I guess you could go watch the whole thing on [[YouTube]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgvIdkD_jnE starting here].
