22x18 - Keeping Your Eyes on the Ball!

[bunniefuu]

[grunts]

Mm-hm.

-[man] Kahili!

-[gasps]

-Aren't you Kahili?

-Can we have a little interview with you?

You're on a losing streak.

Isn't your slump lasting too long?

And why did you make your return home

to Alola in secret?

Plus, there are rumors you might retire!

[grunts]

Toucannon!

-Hey, Touckey.

-Toucannon.

-Wait!

-Come back!

[all] She got away!

[birds chirping]

[groans]

-Toucan.

-Thanks a lot, Touckey.

[sighs] Now what am I supposed to do?

Maybe it is time for me

to give up golf after all.

Toucan.

-[clinks]

-Toucan.

-[grunts]

-Hmm?

Go, both of you!

-Pika! Pika!

-Mm-hm.

Watch this.

Get ready for a Gigavolt Havoc home run!

And I'm determined to make sure

that doesn't happen.

Calculating the chances of Ash

hitting a home run. Calculating.

Look out!

Right!

[yells]

[yells]

-[gasps]

-Yes!

-[groans]

-[sighs]

[Sophocles] That's some foul.

[Mallow] It sure did fly far, though.

[Ash] Oh, no, the ball!

-[gasps]

-Heads up!

-Huh?

-Toucan.

[gasps]

-[gasps]

-[pinging]

[yawning, then grunts]

[ball whistling]

[growls]

-[gasping]

-Huh?

-[Kiawe] She hit it back!

-[Lana] So cool!

[narrator] From out of nowhere,

a woman with a Toucannon

made an incredible shot.

Who is she?

[Ash] Keeping Your Eyes on the Ball!

[Ash panting] Sorry about the ball.

But that return of yours was super cool!

-[growls]

-[gasping]

-[Kahili] It's okay, Touckey.

-Toucannon.

I'm sorry. Touckey was trying

to protect me, that's all.

We just met some persistent reporters.

So, where am I?

-This is the Pokémon School.

-[Kahili] Pokémon School?

Right. And you are Kahili, correct?

-Yes, that's right.

-Kahili?

You're that famous master golfer

from Alola! I've seen you before!

That explains

why you could hit the ball like that!

I've seen your name all over the Internet!

My name is Mallow!

It's an honor to meet you!

-I'm Ash.

-Lana.

-I'm Lillie.

-I'm Sophocles.

If I tell my dad I met you,

he's gonna to be so jealous!

Hello there. My name's Rotom Dex.

-Kiawe.

-[gasping, then groaning]

That shot of yours was super!

My competitive spirit was in absolute awe!

-[grunting]

-Nice to meet you.

-You made your shot with that?

-Yes. This is called a golf club.

Wow.

May I have a look, too, please?

-Me too.

-Me too.

-[Kahili] Uh, yes, of course.

-Toucan. Toucan.

Huh? Uh, thanks a lot.

This Toucannon is my partner.

-I like to call it Touckey.

-Toucannon.

-Amazing! So, Touckey's like your helper?

-Touckey's like a caddy!

Toucannon.

-Slick!

-Never held one before!

-It's surprisingly heavy,

-[grunting]

-yet somehow light.

-You're right.

[laughs]

-Hey, I know!

-Pika.

-[Sophocles] Um, Kahili?

-Hmm?

In case you don't have anything special

going on right now,

it would be the coolest thing

in the whole world

if we could play a round

of Pokémon Golf with you.

-What do you say?

-Pokémon Golf?

It's a kind of golf

where you play with Pokémon.

It's the most popular sport in Alola

right now.

Sounds awesome!

Let's play some Pokémon Golf!

Pikachu!

-I want to play too.

-Mm-hm.

Uh, but you see...

Hold on. You really shouldn't put Kahili

on the spot like that.

[grumbling] Toucannon! Toucannon!

-Toucannon! Toucannon! Toucannon!

-Touckey?

-Toucannon. Toucannon.

-Hey, Touckey!

-Oh! [gasps]

-Toucannon.

-But, Touckey.

-Toucannon.

So, do you want to play

with everybody, too?

-[chattering]

-Well, I guess I have no choice.

Let's play Pokémon Golf together.

Toucannon!

Thank you so much. All right!

-This is going to be great!

-I'm so happy!

Right. Okay, if that's the case,

the afternoon class

will now be Pokémon Golf!

All right!

[all gasping]

-So, this is a Pokémon Golf course?

-Huge!

Now, this Pokémon Golf course

has something for everyone,

from beginners to master golfers.

[chattering and laughing]

[gasping]

[chattering]

Tsareena.

-Diglett.

-[grunts]

-[gasps]

-Toucan.

Now, now, you mustn't damage the grass.

Pokémon live freely

on Pokémon Golf courses.

-[Lana] Let's go, Brionne.

-Brionne.

Now this is the first tee.

Toucan.

Thanks, Touckey.

Wait. How does Touckey know

which club you're supposed to be using?

It's because we've been playing together

since I was a little girl.

[grunts]

If you don't mind, I'll go first.

-Of course. Please do.

-Show us how it's done!

Pokémon Golf rules are simple.

You hit the ball from here

and the object is to land the ball

into that hole on the green.

The green she speaks of is over there.

The hole is where you see the flag.

Way up there?

-It's so far away.

-It looks kind of hard.

You win if you get the ball in the hole

with the fewest shots.

But the most important thing

to be aware of

is the cooperation and teamwork

between Trainer and Pokémon.

-[man] Hold it right there!

-Huh?

When you're talking about Pokémon Golf,

you're talking about me!

[laughing]

-And you are...?

-[laughs]

I'm a master Pokémon Golf caddy.

I've been at this for years,

which makes me a legend.

[all] Pokémon Golf caddy?

-Do you know that guy?

-Oh, no.

-[laughs]

-[gasping]

As a caddy with years' experience,

I think it would be foolish

to go through this course without me!

Wait. You said you had

years' experience.

With me on your team,

every shot you make will be pure gold.

-Come on!

-Let's play!

-Here I go, Touckey.

-Toucannon.

[roars] Toucannon!

-It's a Tailwind move!

-Look at that speed!

[chatters]

[chirps]

-And it's a hole in one!

-Wow. It went in.

-Now that's impressive!

-Awesome!

I've never seen a hole in one before!

Kahili and Touckey

were perfectly in sync, too!

-Thank you very much.

-[chattering]

As a caddy with years' experience--

Sixty years? That's more than before.

I was the first golfer

to come up with the idea

of using Tailwind on this golf course.

Everyone has been copying

my brilliant idea ever since.

Toucannon?

[laughs]

So, what do you say we all give it a shot,

huh, guys?

[all] Can't wait!

[all] Who's that Pokémon?

[all] It's Toucannon!

[Toucannon] Toucannon!

Okay, I'm up first.

Huh?

-Just hit it.

-Toucan.

-Now what, Touckey?

-[grunts]

-You want me to give him some advice?

-Toucan.

Some advice? That would be great!

All right. When you take a full swing,

try using your entire body.

Kind of like this.

-Entire body. [grunts] Like this?

-You've got it.

Let me try it for real.

Let's go!

[gasps]

How did you even get it

all the way up there?

-Toucannon.

-Pika.

Huh? I get it.

-Pikachu, Iron Tail, let's go!

-Pika.

-All right, Pikachu!

-Pikachu!

Very good. You put faith in your partner

and hit the ball working together.

-That's what Pokémon Golf is about.

-Toucan.

Uh, Kahili?

Can I get some advice

from you too, please?

[Kahili] Let's see.

Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart

when you take position.

-Right.

-Perfect, just like that.

And then swing

like you're drawing a circle.

-Understand?

-Right.

[grunts]

All right!

No, stop rolling!

-Huh?

-[chirps]

[chirps]

It was Shaymin.

I was wondering where Shaymin was,

but I didn't realize it was there.

That was a nice shot!

[laughs] You never know what will happen.

That's what makes Pokémon Golf

so much fun.

As a master caddy for years,

I've seen these kinds of miracles

many times.

If I won a prize

every time a Shaymin hit a ball--

-Toucan!

-[grunts]

-I'm up next.

-Marowak.

The zenith of my mind,

of body and spirit

like the great mountain of Akala

become a raging fire and burn!

Inferno Overdrive Shot!

Just kidding, of course.

Shadow Bone Shot!

[groaning]

Don't worry.

That was actually an excellent shot.

-Maybe next time, try it like this. Okay?

-Hmm. Mm-hm.

Let's try it one more time, Marowak.

Marowak.

[Kahili] On the green! Nice!

-Yes!

-[grunts]

[sobbing]

See? Playing Pokémon Golf is so much fun.

Toucan!

I hope I can hit it well.

-Just relax. You've got this, Lillie.

-[gasps] Right. I'll try.

Please don't let my ball

hit the Exeggutor.

[grunts]

Huh?

Oh, no. Just one more time.

And once more.

[yelling]

[groaning] Oh, dear, not yet.

You're all tense

from being so nervous, Lillie.

Now, let's take a deep breath together.

[inhaling]

[exhaling]

-Hmm?

-[chirps]

[mewing]

-Snowy.

-[chirps]

You're so sweet.

[grunts]

-I hit it!

-Nice shot, Lillie!

That was great.

Don't forget how that felt just now.

-As a master caddy for years...

-Toucan!

relaxing through deep breathing

is something I insist on

every day--

-Toucannon!

-That hurt.

[Kahili] This green isn't flat.

You have to study the slope and direction

of the growth of the grass first.

Hmm, calculations. Let's see.

The angle of the right slope

measures . degrees,

-therefore...

-[chirps]

Sorry, I'm a little busy right now.

-[chirping]

-Huh?

[gasps]

[gasping]

[screams]

Togedemaru!

-Nice one.

-What a great putt.

Amazing, Togedemaru!

As a master caddy for years,

I would have shown you a much easier

through line, if you had asked.

Toucannon!

-Brionne, make a balloon!

-Brionne.

[singing]

[all singing]

[laughing]

-[grunts]

-Pika. Pika.

Hey, Touckey?

[singing]

Looks like Touckey's having fun.

I haven't seen it like that

in a long time.

I'm sure seeing you so happy

made Touckey very happy too.

Huh?

[singing]

I wonder if Touckey wanted me to play

Pokémon Golf with everyone

because I was feeling sad.

Brionne!

A pole-and-line fishing smash!

-[grunting]

-Now that's a nice shot!

[yells] [grunts]

-Perfect!

-Nice shot, Kiawe.

All right, Brionne, use Surf!

-[squeaking]

-Eevee!

Eevee.

Safely on the green.

-[Kahili] Quite an approach.

-Thanks a lot, Kahili.

[caddy] You folks aren't bad at all.

[laughs]

I'd have to say

that you're all quite worthy

of challenging the secluded

Tenth Hole of Doom.

The Tenth Hole of Doom?

-It's so windy.

-Sure is.

-Where's the green?

-It's up there.

[all] No way!

When I say Tenth Hole of Doom, I mean it.

It's a challenging hole,

where any ba*ls that don't make it

in the cup

drop to the bottom of the valley.

How are you supposed to make par

on a hole like this?

[laughs]

As a master caddy for years

and three months,

it's finally time to show you the extent

of my true power.

Are you gonna show us how to do it?

[laughs]

Actually, before I became a master caddy

I used to be a legendary master

Pokémon Golfer!

Once I get my claws

wrapped around this tee shot...

Now, out you come!

[gasping]

Your claws? Did you by any chance mean

that Krabby's claws?

[caddy] You'll see. Left arm straight.

[grunts]

[gasping]

[all groaning]

[sobbing]

I guess you fell a bit short.

Of course. Even with my years

and six months as a master caddy,

one mistake can ruin everything.

You're up. Show us you're a pro.

The chances of hitting the ball

into the cup are . percent.

I accept.

But, Kahili.

-I'll be fine. Right, Touckey?

-Toucannon.

[caddy] That's it. Go for broke.

[laughs]

Toucan!

-[grunts]

-Thank you, Touckey.

You can do it, Kahili!

-Just stay relaxed.

-And have a fun time, too.

-You're gonna be great.

-Keep your eye on the ball.

Become the shot.

Thanks a lot, everyone.

Here we go.

This drive belongs to Touckey and me.

Long and straight! Go!

Toucannon!

The wind!

Touckey!

Touca--

[chattering]

Beak Blast, let's go!

[roars] Toucan!

Fore!

-[gasping]

-She did it!

Hole in one!

-Touckey!

-[grunts]

So, as a master caddy for years

and nine months,

there's nothing left for me to teach

at this secluded hole.

But mark my words, I'll be waiting for you

at the Eleventh Hole of Doom.

[man on TV]

Kahili's up. She needs to sink this.

It's in! Kahili is the winner!

-She did it!

-Pika!

Amazing! She won!

-Tsareena.

-Shaymin.

After watching some children

having so much fun

playing Pokémon Golf for the first time,

it took me back to when I first started.

Pokémon School kids, this one's for you!

Toucannon!

[narrator] After a lively round

of Pokémon Golf with our heroes,

Kahili and Touckey are back in full swing,

as the journey continues.

At the Eleventh Hole of Doom, ha!

Toucannon! Toucannon!
