22x20 - Got Meltan?

[bunniefuu]

-[Ash] Alola, Professor Oak!

-Alola!

About that Pokémon.

It's indeed a new kind!

Wow, really?

Hm.

I've named it Meltan, the Hex Nut Pokémon.

Like you suspected, it's a Steel type.

Great observational work, my boy!

[Ash laughs]

[Rotom] I entered Meltan's

into my database!

[gasps]

[gasps]

[chattering]

Well then, Professor Kukui,

Professor Burnet, I'll leave it to you.

[All] Sounds good to us!

-Thanks. See you later!

- Bye-bye!

All right, Meltan!

Hope I get to see it today!

Say, Ash, it's time for you to get going.

-Are you all ready?

-Of course!

Guys, let's go to the Pokémon School!

Pika.

Okay, Rowlet, in you go.

Hold on.

[cooing]

Thought I felt something.

See you later!

-Have a good day.

-Thanks. Same to you!

[Ash] Got Meltan?

[narrator] Yesterday,

a mass outbreak of Meltan

threw the entire Pokémon School

into a panic! What next?

[chattering]

Amazing! So, it really is a new kind!

And Professor Oak named it Meltan!

Putting our heads together

really paid off!

I love their spinning heads!

Maybe they're hiding here now!

[screams] There's one!

[shrieks]

[groaning]

Nice design. Really.

Lana, maybe they'll come if you call them!

Yeah! After all, they showed up

in class yesterday,

so maybe they're still around!

[chattering]

[gasps]

[chattering]

[chattering]

[cries]

-Alola, everybody!

-Alola, Professor Kukui!

[Kukui] For class this morning,

we'll have Pokémon battles!

-[gasps] All right!

-Pika!

-Hey, Ash. Let's battle each other.

-Awesome! Bring it on, Kiawe!

-Let's do it! What do you say?

-You've got it!

Now, Tsareena and Shaymin.

Ready for a battle?

Tsareena.

Brionne, Sandy! Let's do our best!

Brionne.

Sophocles?

Does Snowy-versus-Vikavolt sound good?

Sounds great! I'm not losing, though.

-[grunting]

-[chirping]

[Ash] Time to battle, Rowlet!

[snoring]

-Pikachu.

-Doesn't seem to wanna wake up.

-Oh, well. Come on!

-Pika.

[chirping]

[snoring]

[cooing]

[snoring]

[gasps]

[panting]

[panting, then chirps]

-[caws]

-[shrieking]

[shrieking]

[gasps]

[chattering]

[chirping]

[yells]

-[coos]

-[shrieking]

[James] This needs to go here

and this needs to go there...

Hey! Aren't you done yet?

Our three-in-one Combee malasadas are hot!

But our sales have a flat tire.

No, duh!

My Operation Sales-

In-Front-Of-A-Movie-Theater

would have been a super-gigantic success!

My horoscope in the morning paper told me

today is my lucky day, dig it?

[gasps]

The culprit is this faulty hex nut!

-That's a canyon of a crack.

-Wobbuffet.

We'll just have to get another one.

[Jessie] Why not use this?

[gasps] Perfection plus!

A malasada wouldn't fit the bill

in a million years!

-But they taste better.

-[sigh]

Unless we get a real deal,

we're spinning our wheels.

[babbling]

Man, wouldn't it be great

if they just dropped out of the sky?

Like that...

-[screams]

-[gasps]

What?

Looks like you've got a bad headache...

Look, be careful what you wish for,

you might get bashed on the bean.

-[groans] I don't believe it.

-That's nuts!

This one.

It shape, its sheen, its strength!

It's the perfect nut for what ails us!

A hex nut to end all hex nuts.

Yay!

-[gasps]

-Ya-ha!

[laughing]

[engine starts]

That did it!

Look out, three-in-one Combee malasadas!

You're wanted!

They'll be flying off our shelves!

-Yeah!

-Yeah!

[babbles]

[chatters]

-[coos]

-[gasps]

[cooing]

[chattering]

[gasping]

[coos]

[chattering]

[gasps]

-[Ash] Torracat, use Fire Blast!

-Torracat.

[grunts, then groans]

[roars]

-[Ash] Lycanroc, use Stone Edge!

-[roars]

-All right, Pikachu, Iron Tail, let's go!

-Pikachu!

-Now, Charizard, use Aerial Ace!

-[roars]

-Pika!

-[roars]

[bell ringing]

[Kuki] That'll be all!

[Ash] Thanks, Lycanroc, Torracat.

-Torracat.

-Lycanroc.

[laughs]

Battling you is so much fun, Kiawe!

Thanks a lot!

I wanted to ask.

You've won four grand trials, right?

-So, what are your plans now?

-My plans?

Pika.

Let's see. What do I do next? Hold on.

Hey, Rowlet!

-I'm gonna go check it out.

-Got it.

[cooing]

[all] Who's that Pokémon?

It's Meltan!

[Meltan chattering]

[groaning]

[chattering]

[groans]

[chattering]

[cooing]

[panting]

[Meowth]

Come and get it, folks! It's chow time!

We've got a super special today!

Feast your eyes

on our three-in-one Combee malasadas!

[snoring]

[wing rustling]

[Meowth] Eh...

Operation Sales-

In-Front-Of-A-Movie-Theater

is nothing more than an Operation

Get-Poor-Quick failure!

It doesn't help that the movie

is six hours long

-and it just got underway.

-Wobbuffet.

Oh, forget it.

I say let's look

for those Laser-Face Metalheads instead.

-[James] Laser-Faced Metalheads?

-[gasps]

How dare they destroy my precious

bottle caps and our equipment?

When I find them, they're going to pay!

He looks like Mimikyu with a headache.

They will pay! They will pay!

Hold it.

How are we gonna find those Pokémon?

We'll use knives and forks as bait.

Or a screwdriver.

To those hex nuts,

that junk is like metal malasadas!

Man, wouldn't it be great if junk

just dropped out of the sky like before?

Eh...

Nah.

[grunts]

[babbles]

-I've not heard of a flying tambourine.

-[Meowth] Check it out!

Metalhead!

[chattering]

What?

-Now that you mention it.

-But look closer.

[chattering]

[James] Something's not quite right!

[cooing]

[sniffing, then cooing]

You know? We've seen that thing before.

True. And it has all the earmarks

of a Twerp thing.

Our malasadas!

Get your beak out of there now!

[gasping]

No!

Hey! It really is that Pokémon!

The metal-muncher from yesterday!

We're closing!

[All] Team Rocket, let's fight!

-That's right!

-Wobbuffet.

[grunts]

All right, it's bottle cap payback time!

-[cooing]

-[shrieking]

Prepare for a fight! [yells]

[grunts]

Huh? [grunts]

[groaning]

That's gonna leave a mark.

[cooing]

Translate.

It's gonna protect that little nut

no matter what.

[laughs] I wouldn't count on it.

-Meowth, show them why!

-Aye-aye!

-[coos]

-[shrieks]

You're not going anywhere. [yells]

[grunts]

[gasping and grunting]

[Meowth] I can see

what it's doing in slow motion!

My horoscope was right.

I'm on a roll with butter!

[grunting]

My Fury Swipes

will take the shine off of you!

Hm?

-[cooing]

-[chatters]

[snoring]

[panting]

Tired already?

Wrap this up, and then you can pant!

Thanks for the advice, genius!

You Twerp Pokémon burn me up.

All right. Time to put this baby to bed!

[yells]

That's not nice!

[groans] Yipes!

[screams, then grunts]

-I said after you wrap this up!

-[chirps]

No! Laser-Face!

[wailing]

[yells]

[coughs]

That was toasty.

[groaning]

[chirps]

Hi. That only means one thing.

[wails]

[gasping and grunting]

[chatters]

-[Team Rocket] New blast time!

-[Wobbuffet babbles]

-[laughs]

-What?

[chatters]

-[cooing]

-[chirps]

Hey, Rowlet?

Pika. Pika.

[gasps] What in the world happened to you?

-[coos]

-[chatters]

[gasps] It's Meltan!

I wonder if it got separated.

-[sniffing]

-[coos]

You found Meltan?

It looks like Rowlet's been taking care

of it.

-[Lillie] You're such a good Pokémon!

-[coos]

Now we need to find its friends.

Yeah.

I wonder where we should start to look.

[door opens, all gasp]

Clefable! Did something happen?

[Lana] Meltan!

[chatters]

[grunting]

They listen to Clefable!

[Kiawe] That was an easy rescue.

[gibbering]

[coos]

[Mallow] That Meltan sure likes Rowlet!

[chirping]

Hey, Meltan,

do you wanna stay with Rowlet?

[chirping]

Awesome! Okay if I catch you?

[chirps]

[coos]

-I had a hunch, Rowlet.

-[coos]

Meltan? Starting today, you're my friend!

Go, Poké Ball!

[grunts]

[all gasping]

One more time. Go, Poké Ball!

I just caught Meltan! Yeah!

[yells]

[chirping]

-[giggles]

-Pikachu.

You take care of each other!

[narrator] And so, Rowlet

and the newly discovered Meltan

formed a great team!

From now on, they'll be together,

as the journey continues!
