[bunniefuu]

[Celebi squeals happily]

[gasps in surprise]

[rustling]

[Pokémon battle music plays]

Pikachu, now!

Let's see your most powerful Thunderbolt!

-Pikachu!

-[cooing determinedly]

[coos dizzily]

-Huh? [yelps]

-[Rowlet trills weakly]

-You can't get carried away like that.

-[cooing lightly]

They're determined to do well.

I'm not surprised!

The Alola Pokémon League's

gonna be here soon!

[Meltan squeals excitedly]

-[Torracat meows]

-[Lycanroc howls]

[both grunting]

[Professor Burnet] Hey, look at this!

-I just found the cutest thing!

-Huh?

[screams]

[narrator] Professor Burnet has discovered

an old photograph!

I wonder who that boy could be...

[Ash]

A timeless encounter!

[Professor Burnet] He's so cute!

This is you, isn't it? How old were you?

I guess I was probably five.

Where'd you find that?

I was cleaning out the closet

and I found it hidden in here!

My book! What do you know?

The Book of Pokémon Super Moves!

It's almost falling apart!

Seeing this again really takes me back.

I loved it so much.

I'd take it everywhere!

It was my guide

when Hala would let me watch him battle.

Use Heavy Slam!

Maku...

[gasps]

...hika!

[rustles] There!

[Young Kukui] Heavy Slam.

The heavier you are compared

to your opponent, the harder it hits!

-[Sandslash grunts]

-And it hit really hard!

Now, use Ice Ball!

[Young Kukui] There! Ice Ball!

Each time Ice Ball hits,

its power increases!

-Dodge, then use Close Combat!

-[grunting]

[grunts]

-[grunts]

-[groans]

-Oh, no!

-[grunts]

[groaning]

-Hala wins again! [laughs]

-[meows]

[Young Kukui] I wanna do the

island challenge as soon as I can!

[Hala laughs]

[Hala] You're still just a tiny bit small

for the island challenge.

-[Kukui] Aw...

-[Hala] Little Kukui.

Don't treat me like a little baby!

-I've already got a Firium Z!

-[meows]

-So the Litten in the picture is yours?

-[Munchlax grunts]

Huh? Actually, my parents

had been looking after Litten.

And we were inseparable after that.

Almost like we were siblings.

[both grunt]

-Now, Torracat! Use Fire Blast!

-Torra.

Torra!

Lycanroc! Stone Edge, go!

[howls]

[all yell]

[growls]

[all yelp]

That power is completely off the charts!

[rustling]

[Celebi gasps]

[yowls]

[yelps]

Pi. Pikachu.

[all squeaking]

Pi. Pika?

[Rowlet coos]

Pika! Pika!

-[Rowlet coos]

-[Lycanroc barks]

[Rotom Dex] Oh, no! I can't locate Ash

or Torracat!

-Pika!

-[all squeaking]

Hey there, Roarie.

[yelps]

-[yowls]

-Huh?

[thuds]

-[Ash grunting]

-[Torracat groans]

Lycanroc, that was one awesome Stone Edge.

Hold on. Where's Lycanroc?

Hey, Pikachu!

Where'd everybody go? Say something!

Pikachu and Rowlet, where are you?

Come on, Lycanroc and Meltan!

Where'd you go, Rotom Dex?

-[Torracat snarling]

-Huh?

-[hisses]

-[meows]

Hey, it's a Litten!

[snarls]

[Torracat snarling]

[gasps]

[meows]

[gasps] A Torracat!

-Hi there. Come on, over here!

-[snarls]

-[snarling]

-Hey, what's wrong?

Come on, don't you wanna be friends?

It's okay. Don't worry, Torracat.

Uh, hey, mister,

are you Torracat's Trainer?

That's right. I'm its Trainer!

That's a Z-Ring!

You're doing the island challenge?

So cool!

-Mm-hmm.

-And that's an Electrium Z!

I've got this Z-Crystal!

That's awesome!

Even I don't have one of those!

Really? All right! I win! [laughing]

I wanna see a Z-Move!

Inferno Overdrive!

-Huh?

-You've got a Z-Ring, so you can do it!

-You wanna see it, too, don't you?

-[meows]

-I don't know about this...

-[Litten meows]

-You mean you can't?

-[meows]

Torra.

Huh? Right! We'll give it a try!

[both grunt]

Torra.

Let's aim it at those rocks!

Hold on. I don't remember

such a big rock around here.

Hey, whatever. [grunts]

Hmm, let's see.

[Kiawe] The zenith of my mind!

Of body! And spirit!

Like the great mountain of Akala

become a raging fire and burn! [grunts]

Inferno Overdrive!

Okay. I'll try it,

and I know it'll work out!

-Let's go, Torracat!

-Torra!

[gasps]

All right, here we go at full power!

Torra!

Use Inferno Overdrive!

[meows determinedly]

[grunting]

[both grunt]

-[wind howling]

-[pages rustling]

Huh?

That was so cool!

That's what Inferno Overdrive's

supposed to be!

-We did it.

-Torra.

[Litten meowing]

-Litten, wasn't that the coolest?

-[meows]

Thanks! Here you go.

That's the first time I've seen

a Fire-type Z-Move!

-[meows]

-Hm?

[Young Kukui] Oh, no!

-It got burned.

-[Ash] Aw, sorry!

[Young Kukui] That just proves

how powerful that move is!

Was that really your first time?

[Ash] Uh, yeah.

So cool! Just like an island kahuna!

I'm gonna call you Move Kahuna!

Move Kahuna? That's pretty awesome.

[Young Kukui] I wanna have

a Pokémon battle now!

[Litten meows]

I wanna see all kinds of moves!

Okay. Let's go!

-All right!

-[meows happily]

[all] Who's that Pokémon?

[all] It's Sandslash.

Sandslash!

Torracat, let's not hit them too hard.

Flame Charge should be Flame Flicker,

and Fire Blast should be Fire Poke.

-[Torracat gasps]

-[growling]

Now stop doing that!

Don't treat me like a little kid!

I'm just trying to be nice.

[Young Kukui groans]

Don't be nice! Do it right!

Okay, got it!

We'll be at full power!

-You ready, Roarie?

-Roarie?

[Ash] You're wearing an Incineroar hat,

right?

-Ash So you're “Roarie.”

-[gasps]

That name is the coolest!

-Hey, Litten, I'm Roarie!

-[meows]

Here we go, Move Kahuna!

-Litten, Use Ember!

-[Litten grunts]

-[grunts]

-What? You're kidding me!

So you wanna see Fire-type moves?

-Torracat, Flame Charge!

-[meows]

[grunting]

-[gasping]

-Litten!

-[grunts]

-Use Fire Blast!

Torracat!

[yelps] Use Bite!

[Litten squeaks]

-[thuds]

-[gasping]

[meows weakly]

[sniffing]

[meows affectionately]

[Litten meows]

You gave it a good shot, Litten.

[meows happily]

Roarie, let's battle again sometime.

[sniffing] Using Fire Blast like that

wasn't fair at all.

Whaddaya mean?

You're the one who wanted it serious.

I hate losing!

So if you lose a Pokémon battle,

just win it next time!

-Huh? You think so?

-Yeah!

So cool! Litten, let's get really strong,

and then we can come back

and beat Move Kahuna!

-[meows]

-Torra.

Huh? [gasps]

You were all watching?

Why don't you come over here?

[all squeaking]

Wow, this is incredible!

These Pokémon are all friends of mine!

-[rumbling]

-[all yelp in surprise]

[thudding]

[groans deeply]

That thing's gigantic!

-[thuds]

-So cool!

-Elder came to say hi, too!

-[Litten meows]

-Elder?

-Uh-huh!

Trevenant's old, so I call it Elder!

It's the Totem Pokémon around here!

I didn't know this forest

had a Totem Pokémon!

[grunts]

You see, I got my Z-Crystal from Elder!

[Ash] Whoa, really?

-Yeah! Betcha want one, too!

-[both yelp]

-[sneezes]

-[both grunt]

-Elder, again?

-Whaddaya mean, again?

[Young Kukui] Hold on, Elder!

[sneezes]

-[Young Kukui] Litten, use Scratch!

-[Litten meows]

[squeaking]

It looks a lot more like Tickle

than Scratch.

[laughs] But Elder likes it this way!

[laughing]

What was that?

Sometimes Elder's back gets all itchy,

and when that happens,

it just can't stop sneezing.

I've tried everything,

but I think Litten's claws work best.

Hey, that's a good idea!

-Maybe you should try it, too, Torracat.

-[meows]

No way! It's because

Litten's claws are so tiny

-that it works.

-[meows]

-Okay, you heard him, Torracat.

-[grunts]

Feel better now?

[grunts]

[Young Kukui] Ah, this is bad!

[Ash] It looks like it's gonna pour!

-No way!

-No way!

[Elder groans]

[grunting]

[trees tinkling mystically]

Elder, you're the best!

-[Ash] Thanks, Elder!

-[Young Kukui] Yeah, thanks!

[mumbles]

You really like that book, don't you?

It's The Book of Pokémon Super Moves!

It's got everything

on every move there is!

Really? That sounds awesome!

Yeah, but real life moves

are so much more amazing!

How can we learn to make a Fire Blast

like you did?

Uh, I don't know if I can explain it.

But I know you'll be able to do it as long

as you keep training real hard!

Whoa, you think so?

So tell me,

what did you think of our battle?

I can't say I liked losing,

but it sure was fun!

Right, Litten?

Have you had a lot of battles,

Move Kahuna?

Yeah. Before I came to Alola, I went

to different Gyms in all sorts of towns.

I had loads of battles with Gym Leaders.

Gym Leaders?

Hey, are they really tough?

They sure are! Totally tough!

If you beat a Gym Leader,

then they give you a badge,

and if you collect enough badges,

you take part in the Pokémon League.

It's like a battle festival!

That's so cool! A real Pokémon League!

Then what do you do after you win

the Pokémon League?

You see, I've got this dream.

What kind of dream is that?

To be a Pokémon Master!

Pokémon Master?

I've never heard of that before,

but it sounds cool!

I'm gonna be a Pokémon Master, too!

[both gasping]

[Ash] Hey, Elder!

You really helped us out!

[Young Kukui] Thanks a lot, Elder!

-[grunting]

-[both gasp]

[frenzied sneezing]

Litten, quick, use Scratch!

[meows]

[squeaking]

-[sneezing continues]

-[Litten grunts]

-It's not working!

-Why not?

[gibbers]

-[meows]

-Torra.

-[Ash] Ah, wait!

-[Young Kukui panting]

[both grunting]

-[both squeaking]

-Huh?

-There's something up there.

-I'll go check!

[grunts]

It's slippery!

Okay, I'll go! [grunting]

He's amazing! Huh?

[Ash grunts]

[Heracross grunts]

[Young Kukui grunts]

-Perfect! Thanks, Heracross!

-[Heracross buzzes]

[both grunting]

-Oh.

-Check it out!

[Cutiefly buzzing]

-Cutiefly?

-[Cutiefly buzzing]

-They got wet and their wings got stuck.

-[Cutiefly buzzing]

[Young Kukui] Okay, we'll help you,

Cutiefly.

-[Cutiefly buzzing]

-[Ash] Stay still.

[Cutiefly buzzing]

-[rustling]

-[sneezing]

[all yelp]

-Huh?

-Huh?

[rustling]

[Cutiefly buzzing]

-[both grunting]

-[Cutiefly buzzing]

[Cutiefly buzzing]

[grunting]

[Cutiefly buzzing]

That's it. Last one!

[Cutiefly buzzing happily]

[rustling]

Let's help them dry off.

-Our Pokémon can help, too.

-Huh?

[Torracat and Litten meow]

Got it!

[laughs]

[laughs]

[Cutiefly buzzing happily]

So, whaddaya think, Roarie?

Great! Hey, Elder, feeling better now?

[mumbles happily]

Huh?

-A Firium Z!

-Torra.

[Young Kukui] It's a reward!

Back when I first helped Elder,

I got one, too!

-Wow! Thanks a lot, Elder!

-Torra.

[chuckles deeply]

[Celebi squeaks]

Move Kahuna,

let's have a battle right now!

While everybody's hanging out!

-[Litten meows]

-Okay! I'm right behind you!

-[grunts and shouts]

-[meows]

Hey! Litten! Where's Move Kahuna?

[meows]

Elder, do you know?

[mumbling]

[all gasp]

What could that light be?

Huh? Wait for me!

-[Ash screaming]

-[Torracat yelps]

That hurts. [grunts] Hold on.

Roarie? Litten?

Where'd they go? Do you know, Elder?

-Huh?

-Torra.

Hmm?

[gasping in awe]

Huh?

-Pika.

-[trilling]

-Pikachu!

-[all squeaking]

-Pika! Pika!

-[Ash laughing]

-You guys, that tickles! Stop! Okay!

-Pika!

[Ash laughing]

[all squeaking happily]

Whoa, look at you!

How in the world did you all get so dirty?

[all squeaking excitedly]

[Ash] Sorry. I don't get it.

-[Rotom Dex] Ash, they found you!

-Rotom!

[rustling]

Huh?

[all panting]

Mmm!

Munch? [growls hungrily]

-I'm back!

-Munchlax!

Welcome home!

-When do we eat lunch?

-It's ready right now.

Once your hands are washed,

-will you call Professor Kukui?

-Right!

-Professor Burnet?

-What, Rotom?

This is really big!

Wait! It's Celebi!

[Rotom Dex] A Celebi sighting in Alola

is huge!

They say Celebi only appears

in pristine forests.

It must have been attracted

to Alola's beautiful--

Hey, did you wipe your hands, Ash?

Uh, sorry! They're dry now! [laughs]

[sighs]

-Professor, I'm back!

-Good to see you, Ash!

-Lunch is ready.

-Okay. Coming!

[narrator] Thanks to Celebi,

Ash had a wonderful adventure!

With fond memories,

the Alola Pokémon League

is just around the corner,

as the journey continues!
