(Ash) "Cottonee In Love!"

(narrator) Nimbasa City, the next step on Ash's path

to the Unova League remains the focus for our traveling heroes.

Whoa, who's that Pokemon?

That, Ash, is a Cottonee.

- Cottonee? - Pika.

(Pokedex) Cottonee. The Cotton Puff Pokemon.

Cottonee shoots cotton to distract its opponent

when attacked and travels around

wherever the blowing wind carries it.

Scraggy?

Cotton-nee.

Scraggy. Scraggy, Scraggy, Scrag. Scraggy, Scrag.

It's rather unusual to see a Cottonee all by itself

this time of year.

Pika?

(Cilan) You see, under normal circumstances

Cottonee will gather in large groups

and then happily pair up.

So it's like a big singles get-together?

(Cilan) Uh, I guess you could say that.

Then, after they've found a partner

the happy couples ride the winds

as they start their new lives together.

[chomps]

How romantic can you get?

Though it sounds a little less romantic with your mouth full.

Of course. So the couples are like really good buddies, right?

That's so like you. You're such a little kid.

- Hmm? - Now, hold on.

Let me see.

Ah, I thought so.

Rainbow Valley's close to where we are now.

- Huh? - It's quite popular.

It's a famous spot known for its rainbows

as well as its Diamond Breeze.

But, what's a Diamond Breeze?

(Cilan) A glorious wind that sparkles like diamonds

when it blows.

[laughs]

It's also known as the place where Cottonee pair up

hop on the Diamond Breeze

and set off on their new life together.

(Iris) Sounds ultra-romantic.

[laughing]

I would guess this Cottonee is probably on its way

to Rainbow Valley right now.

- 'Scrag. Scrag.' - Huh?

Scrag, Scrag.

- What's the matter, Scraggy? - Scrag.

Scrag, Scrag, Scrag.

(Iris) 'Look. It's another Cottonee.'

Cott.

Nee.

Hm? This Cottonee's blushing.

I'll bet that Cottonee distracted you

from your group, right?

Nee.

Of course.

- That means.. - Huh?

Yes, it's Heart-To-Heart Time.

[giggles]

- Nee. - Hm?

The time to confess your true innermost feelings.

Cottonee.

Being honest and assertive is so important

when it comes to true love.

Cottonee.

Although talking with your mouth full

is still a bit less than inspiring.

Well, I just happen to be hungry.

So get over it.

Just go and tell that Cottonee you want to be buddies.

What do you mean, "buddies?" You're such a little kid.



How do you figure that?

Just tell Cottonee how you feel.

- Go for it and be brave. - Huh?

Cottonee.

Cottonee.

And now, we wait and see the result.

Cottonee'll be great.

Cottonee. Nee.

- Cottonee. - Cotton.

(Cilan) 'I think that was Stun Spore.'

(Iris) 'Was that a brush off?'

Cottonee.

[groans]

- Ah. - And now it's Razor Leaf.

Heart-To-Heart Time has changed into Battle Time.

Why is that?

It's probably a test to see

how strong Cottonee is when it comes to battle.

- Makes sense. - Cotton-nee.

- Nee. - Ah.

Cottonee should've dodged that.

- Pika-Pika. - Cottonee.

- Oh. - Looks like a Counter Attack.

Whoa, talk about bad aim.

[grunting]

(Iris) 'And there goes an Energy Ball.'

[groaning]

[grunts]

- Guess that's it. - That had to be a snub.

It would appear so.

[crying]

Cottonee, you okay?

- Nee. - Huh?

[chomping]

No partner is going to say yes if you battle like a weakling.

When it comes to true love

you've got to be able to really show off.

Though love advice somehow loses something with your mouth full.

- Hm. - That should do it.

- Nee. - Oh.

If you want to be a couple, Iris is right

about needing to be strong in battle.

And you get strong by training hard.

- Pika-Pika. - Yes.

With our help, you'll train so hard

you'll conduct yourself with confidence.

- What do you say, Cottonee? - Impress for success.

- Pika-Pika. - Cottonee. Cott.

Scraggy, Scraggy.

Wow, so you want to battle against Cottonee, Scraggy?

Great. I'm sure Scraggy will be

a wonderful opponent to train with.

Cottonee.

Ash, we're counting on you.

You just leave it to me.

- Scraggy. - Okay, Scraggy.

Let's start with Leer.

Scrag-gy.

Cottonee.

Nee, nee, nee, nee.

Come on, you're not supposed to run away.

- Pika-Pika. - Cottonee.

Scraggy, Headbutt.

Scrag.

Cottonee.

Gee.

Say, that was Cotton Guard.

Yeah, that'll come in handy.

Now, first off, you need to learn how to dodge an attack.

Nee.

Say your opponent's trying to attack you.

Nee.

Keep your eyes glued and watch everything

your opponent does.

Nee.

Then you move to the side.

Cottonee.

You won't be able to dodge if you look away, see?

- Nee. - Then let's try it.

- Scrag. - Eyes on Scraggy.

- Pika-Pika! - Scrag.

- 'Don't look away.' - Nee.

- Scrag. - 'Keep watching.'

Nee.

- Scraggy. - Cottonee.

- Hm. - Ah.

- Yew! - Nee.

It was good that you were looking at your opponent

but then you've got to dodge.

- Let me show you. Eyes open. - Scrag.

Then you dodge quick.

- And that's all there is to it. - Nee.

Scraggy, let's do it one more time. Use Headbutt.

Scrag.

- Cottonee. - Scrag.

You did it. That was great.

- Things are looking up. - You bet.

Okay, try floating up and dodging.

- Nee. - Now, Scraggy, Headbutt.

Scrag.



Scraggy. Scraggy. Scraggy.

Good. Just don't forget your timing.

Cottonee. Nee.

Cottonee sure is a quick study.

Talk about learning fast.

- Axew. Yew. - Huh?

Do you want to battle against Cottonee too?

- Yew. - Hm, okay.

Ash. We want to battle too.

[bleating]

(James) 'Cottonee located.'

One, two, three, four, five of them in all.

Not worth the trouble.

Cottonee are widely known to gather by the hundreds

this time of year.

You're correct. It's just not worth the effort.

I say we catch a horde of them while they ride the wind

before they all scatter.

- And do it in one fell swoop. - A Cottonee haul.

A model of efficiency.

Alright, you both ready to go?

- Whenever you say. - Axew.

Heads up. Keep your eyes on Axew.

- Pika-Pika. - Scraggy.

Here we go. Axew, use Scratch.

- Axew. - Cotton.

[grunting]

Hm. Cottonee's moves are looking sharp.

Awesome. You're on a roll.

- Pika! Pika! - Scraggy.

[grunts]

Now, Energy Ball.

[grunts]

- Huh? - Axew.

Nee.

Not quite! Aim toward your target first and then sh**t.

Axew had the same problem.

Except in Axew's case, it was Dragon Rage.

Axew.

Axew, why don't you teach Cottonee how to do it?

Yew! Yew. Axew.

- Nee. Nee. - Ax. Yew

Ax-ew.

Yew.

Ax. Ax! Yew! Yew!

- Nee. - Pikachu.

- Cottonee. - Ax?

(all) Oh, no.

That wasn't even close.

Okay, the first thing you need to do is pick your target.

Cottonee.

Then, focus when you start to use your move

and make sure you stay completely still.

It'll mess up your aim if you move even a little bit.

- Nee. - Okay.

- Once more. - Nee.

Cotto-nee!

Yew.

That's it. You've got it now.

- Pika-Pikachu. - Alright, now it's our turn.

Dwebble, use Slash.

- Dwebble. - Cottonee, dodge it.

- Dwebble! Dwebble! - Now, use X-Scissor!

[grunts]

- Cotton Guard, let's go. - Cottonee.

- Webble. - Use Razor Leaf.

Cottonee.

- Dwebble. - Keep it up!

- Scraggy. - Pika-Pika.

How about a round with Pansage?

Pansage.

- Razor Leaf, once more. - Cottonee.

- Quick, dodge it. - Pan.

Use Energy Ball.

[grunting]

Pan.

- Alright. - Cottonee.

After that kind of battling, you'll be just fine.

Being rejected once doesn't mean you ever give up.

You keep on keeping on.

And once you prove you're serious, then you're in.

You would think all this talk of love would quiet down

that hearty appetite of yours just a teensy little bit.

Well, when I think about love and romance, then I eat.

- I'm hungry. - Yew.

So. Let's go and find that Cottonee.

Wait. Think it already went to Rainbow Valley?

- Cottonee. - No.

The Diamond Breeze usually blows through Rainbow Valley

right after a full moon, so I think we're in good shape.

Of course. The moon wasn't totally full last night.

Then let's get there on the double.

- Pika-Pika! - Scraggy.

- Scraggy, return. - Scrag. Scrag.

Huh? What? You want to stay and help Cottonee?

- Scrag. Scrag. - Right.

Then let's all head over to Rainbow Valley together.

Scraggy!

(group) Who's That Pokemon?

(group) It's Cottonee.



Cottonee.

Tranquill.

- Hey, did you find Cottonee? - Tranquill.

Well, thanks for trying anyway.

- I don't have a clue. - Well.

Cottonee aren't able to fly on their own

so if we simply follow the wind's path

I'm sure we'll be able to find them.

- That's a great idea. - But how do we do that?

We run a few tests.

Which means it's Wind Testing Time.

- Hm. - Hm?

Hm. Hm.

The winds are from the south.

So, if we calculate the direction

that southern winds blow

it's toward that mountain.

- Let's hurry. - Right.

[screeching]

Were you successful locating Cottonee?

[screeches]

Then time to use this.

Off you go, then.

Now let's see they would intersect the wind here.

This isn't easy.

Reading the winds is complicated.

Hm.

Here, the winds are from the west.

I'd better watch the clouds moving too.

The northwest winds are blowing through that part of the forest.

The northwest winds which means only one thing.

The winds are all gathering at the foot of that mountain.

- Great. Let's go. - Pikachu.

Alright, here's our location.

Now, are those the temperature and moisture readings?

Yes. And this indicates wind direction and speed.

So, where are the Cottonee gathering?

I'll tell you in a jif.

(James) 'The winds all congregate right up there.'

(Jessie) 'Hm. Bingo.'

[cackling]

[bleating]

We finally found the Cottonee.

Let's hope we find your friend, too.

[bleating]

(Iris) 'Look. Over there.'

Okay, just do your best.

Don't try too hard and be yourself.

- Give it everything you've got. - Huh?

Show off some of the fire in your heart.

After all, we're talking about love here, aren't we?

This isn't martial arts, you know.

All's fair in love and w*r.

Somehow your blend of eating and talking about love

doesn't have quite the right flavor.

Cottonee.

If you battle, battle hard.

- Pika-Pika. - Scraggy.

- Cotton. Cottonee. - Nee.

It's Heart-To-Heart Time, second edition.

- Cottonee. Cottonee. - Cottonee.

[bleating]

- Whoa. Cottonee. - Ah!

(Ash) 'What's that?'

[bleating]

What's going on?

[sniggering]

What are you guys doing here?

You would ask, clueless indeed.

We'll answer your question as we feel the need.

Bringing the blinding white light of evil into the future.

Thrusting the hammer of justice

onto the black darkness of the universe.

And carving our names in the rock of eternity.

The fiery destroyer ,I am Jessie.

And with thunderous emotion, I am James.

Wisest of the wise, I'm Meowth.

(all) Now, gather. Under the name of Team Rocket.

- Team Rocket. - How dare you?

You can't have Cottonee.

We're going to blow you off, so keep your tie on.

[screaming]

(Meowth) 'Told you. Bye.'

[grunting]

Pikachu, quick. Use Thunderbolt.

Pikachu.

Pika-chu!

Yes.

Okay, Tranquill.

I choose you.

Tranquill. Tranquill.

Use Air Cutter on that bag.

Tranquill, quill, quill.

- Oh, now there's a surprise. - We never travel unprepared.

Yew.

(all) Huh?

Uh, what's going on?

[grunting]

- I can't see a thing. - It's pandemonium.

[whimpering]



[screams]

Drat. We were so close.

Oh, they're going to pay.

- Alright. - Pikachu.

- Scraggy. - Oh.

[bleating]

Cottonee.

- Cottonee, you're okay. - Cottonee.

Ah! Look, who's here?

I'd say you're quite prepared

so why not go and speak with your heart?

Don't be scared. It's time to be confident.

Cottonee.

- Pika-Pika. Pika. - Scraggy.

- Cottonee, Cottonee. - Nee.

Cottonee. Nee?

[clamoring]

- Cottonee's got company. - How popular can you get?

[clamoring]

[grunting]

- Alright. What a block. - Quick. Counter Attack.

Yeah, go get 'em.

[grunting]

Nee.

[grunting]

[groaning]

- Awesome. - Great stuff.

Go! Go!

Cott.

[groans]

Wow. Two of them in one shot.

- Fancy battling. - The taste of brilliance.

- Cottonee. - Cottonee.

Cottonee.

Cottonee.

- Cottonee. - Nee.

Success. A loving pair.

It's like a blend of fresh-baked bread and cheese.

It's great that Cottonee finally found a best buddy.

- You're still such a kid. - What's that supposed to mean?

Who knows with her mouth full?

(Cilan) 'And so, our happy couples float off'

'to Rainbow Valley to live happily ever after.'

(Scraggy) 'Scraggy.'

(Ash) 'Let's go tell them all goodbye.'

We made it. Rainbow Valley.

- Wow! - Pika!

- It's just amazing. - Pikachu.

[gasps]

- Yew. - Hey, look.

- Huh? - 'A giant rainbow.'

(Ash) 'Wow, the whole valley's sparkling.'

(Cilan) 'That's because it's made up of lots of minerals.'

Pika.

[gasps]

[chuckles]

Huh?

- Yew. - That's it.

It's the Diamond Breeze.

Scraggy. Check it out.

Let's say goodbye to the Cottonee. They're leaving.

Scraggy.

[bleating]

[laughs]

(Iris) 'What a wonderful sight.'

(Cilan) 'Such a beautiful start to the rest of their lives.'

[bleating]

- Cottonee. - 'Scrag.'

Hey, it's them.

Scrag! Scrag!

- Bye, bye! - Take care of each other.

Have a wonderful life together.

- Pika-Pika! - Scrag. Scraggy!

(narrator) A new life lies ahead for the happy Cottonee

with a little help from our heroes.

And, of course, our heroes own exciting journey

to Nimbasa City continues.
