14x36 - Archeops in the Modern World!

[bunniefuu]

(Juniper) 'And this is a Plume Fossil!'

(all) Huh!

'Donated to us by Lenora'

'from the Nacrene Museum.'

Wow!

(Ash) 'This is from Lenora?'

Looks like a rock, if you ask me.

[all gasps]

I guess different people do see things in different ways.

Hey, professor, what kind of Pokemon

did the fossil come from?

- 'Have a closer look!' - Huh.

(Ash) Archen, the oldest flying-type Pokemon.

Correct, Archen predates all of our modern flying-types

living a hundred million years ago.

Awesome! A hundred million!

So, it's kind of like Pidove's

great, great, great grandparent.

You're right, and now we're going to restore

this fossil back to its original form.

The culmination of dreams and hard work.

'Ready Fennel?'

Anytime you are.

(narrator) On their way to Nimbasa City

our heroes have reunited

with their old friends Professor Juniper

and Dr. Fennel from Striaton City!

The researchers are in the process of restoring

a one-hundred-million-year-old Pokemon from a Plume Fossil

as Ash and company look on with excitement.

(Ash) "Archeops in the modern world!"

Attention, the moment of restoring

an ancient Pokemon from a Plume Fossil is here.

Um-hm, fossil is firmly locked in place.

(Fennel) 'Beginning genetic analysis.'

[all gasping]

This Plume Fossil contains memories from long, long ago

memories far greater than we can imagine today.

Our machine will breathe new life into fossils.

To take the spark of life buried deep within them

and bring it forth is the dream of a lifetime.

Can you see the ancient Pokemon's form?

All I see are a bunch of computer numbers.

Seeing the form of a Pokemon in numbers shows

what a brilliant scientist Dr. Fennel truly is.

A recipe for genius!

Fennel's truly a woman with big dreams.

Genetic analysis complete!

And now we begin! Come out! Time to shine!

Musharna.

- Wow, Musharna! - It's been a long time.

Dear Musharna, your assistance will help

bring our dreams to life.

Mush. Musharna.

Musha.

(Ash) 'Why Musharna?'

Do you remember the dream energy everyone has?

I do, isn't dream energy the kind of energy

Dr. Fennel has been conducting research on with Musharna?

That's right!

In order to activate our Pokemon restoration machine

we need to harness the dream energy

Musharna produces.

Mushar.

The energy charging is complete.

Okay, here we go.

(Fennel) 'Engaging!'

[all gasping]

- Pika! - Yew!

- Status, Fennel? - Excellent!

Four seconds left! Three, two and one!

Systems stable, all values normal

and...we've detected signs of life

[all gasping]

- That means one thing. - It's a success!

Let's hurry and have a look inside.

(Juniper) 'Just a minute.'

I'm waiting! Now, professor?

All set! Any time you're ready!

Arch! Archen!

- Uh! - Check out that voice!

Pika-Pika!

It's the voice from Pokemon history.

The sound of nature the abundance of which existed

on our planet long ago!

Archen!

- Archen! - Pika!

You did it, Fennel!

And it looks just like the illustration.

- Huh! Uh! - Huh!

Aah! Ugh!



Aah!

Ah! Oh!

[squawking]

Archen! Chill out!

Archen, you've got to try to calm down!

Archen! Ah!

(Iris) 'Well, that was a surprise!'

So, this's the first Bird Pokemon, Archen!

It's quite an accomplishment!

Guess science can be pretty awesome, sometimes.

Incredible, it's the past and present united

like we've transcended the limiting boundaries of time.

Welcome to our world, Archen!

'No wonder you were startled'

'after sleeping for so long.'

'You'll have plenty of time'

'to learn all about our modern era!'

Well, I'm officially impressed!

What a brilliant idea to use

Musharna's dream energy like that.

Since their experiment was a success

let's hack into their computer.

Grab every bit of data you can find in that machine of theirs!

I'm a step ahead of you.

I've already managed to break into their network

but their lab security system is stronger than I expected.

(Dr. Zager) 'It doesn't matter how long it takes you.'

(James) 'Doctor Zager!'

- Hm? - Huh?

The Pokemon restoration machine data is priceless.

Do whatever you must to get it all

along with any records of their experiments.

This will be worth the wait!

- Shh! - Shh!

Oh! It's sleeping time!

Thanks very much, Cilan.

I used my basic flying-type Pokemon

food recipe and added my own touch.

I sure hope Archen finds it tasty.

Juniper, this should give your research a real boost.

- I think you're right. - Huh, a boost?

Professor Juniper is conducting extensive research

on the origins of Pokemon.

It's a study filled with many more questions than answers.

Take Archen for example.

Though Archen's the ancestor to all flying-type Pokemon

it can't fly.

'By studying Archen, we can discover how flying abilities'

'developed, and ultimately how they influenced'

'the many flying-type Pokemon that came later.'

We've already discovered a lot.

- Really? What? - Well, its cry.

We couldn't have learned that from a fossil, true?

By analyzing Archen's voice patterns

we should be much better equipped to understand

how it communicates.

(Cilan) 'Which obviously makes Archen very important.'

Pi.

- Pika-Pika! - Axew!

[squawking]

Professor! Archen just woke up!

[squawking]

[screaming]

Archen, stop!

Ar-chen!

- Hey, Cilan, look out! - Aah! Ugh!

I can't believe Archen just used Dragon Breath!

That must mean it can use dragon-type moves!

Ugh! Stop!

Come on, Archen, calm down! Chill out!

[screaming]

- Pika-Pi. - Be careful!

Archen, you've got to try and take it easy!

[screaming]

Everything's okay, Archen!

We all just want to be your friends, understand?

Aar.

Um-hm.

- Pika-Pika. Pikachu! - Great idea! Thanks, Pikachu!

'Here! It's food!'

You don't like my food?

- Uh, Archen, wait! - Pika!

And there it is. That's the ancient Pokemon.

We're talking no lack of color.

[squawking]

[all panting]

It's not able to fly, but it's great at climbing.

(Ash) 'It's eating!'

- 'Huh!' - Eating doesn't mean liking.

This could be a problem.

We don't know what it eats, so how can we know

how to take care of it?

Munna.

[squawking]

- Pika? - Axew.

[squawking]

Wow! Is Archen trying to fly?

It sure looks that way. Do you know what that could mean?

I certainly do!

We could witness the moment when the ancestor



of all flying-types learns to fly!

Of course, being able to witness the development of its flight

would be a treasure beyond words!

Okay, Archen! You need help!

Tranquill, I choose you!

Tranquill.

Tranq.

Tr-ranquill!

Arch!

Arch! Arch! Arch!

That's it, Archen! Keep working on flying, just like that!

Utterly fascinating!

A modern Pokemon teaching an ancient Pokemon how to fly.

Archen's so cute, imitating Tranquill.

This is a meeting that transcends time.

The surprisingly tasty blend of ancient and modern flavors

has created a nouveau cuisine.

I wanna be part of this.

Emolga! Come on out!

Emolga.

There goes Emolga using Attract again

although it's not working.

That means Archen's a girl!

Stunfisk.

Oh, dear, my Stunfisk!

Emolga? I told you not to use Volt Switch!

Dear, your Emolga's Volt Switch

is quite unusual, wouldn't you say?

Oh, yeah.

Stunfisk!

Stunfisk! Stop it, right now!

Sorry, Archen! You okay?

Ar-chen!

(Group) Who's That Pokemon?

(group) It's Archen!

Archen!

[squawking]

[instrumental music]

- Ready? - Very soon now.

Very, very soon.

- I'm counting on you! - Me too!

[scoffs] How naive can Twerps be?

No more than Twerps are.

'We take their data while they're clueless!'

[squawking]

Ever since its restoration

Archen's been making that same, lingering cry.

Now that you mention it, I think you're right.

I have a theory that cry isn't any normal cry.

It must have some kind of purpose.

- Okay, now fly, Archen! - Go for it!

- Pika! - Axew!

Arch! Arch! Arch!

Flap your wings as hard as you can!

Awesome! You're doing it! Aah!

It's okay, you were flying.

You've come a really long way.

A little more practice and you'll be flying

just like a pro.

Arch!

How's it going?

Archen's attempts to fly

are getting better and better.

Archen's awfully close.

Yeah, but not there yet.

Ash is such an interesting trainer.

He's putting an amazing amount of effort in to help

train a Pokemon that's just been restored.

It's obvious he's got a natural talent for putting himself

'in a Pokemon's place.'

(Cilan) 'Like a unique ingredient'

in a four star recipe.

And that uniqueness and natural talent are the principal reasons

why I'm traveling with him.

Give it all you've got, Archen!

This is great! Can't wait to see you fly!

Hey, Tranquill, you can help out too!

[chuckles]

Arch!

Huh?

- What's all this? - Munna.

Something's happened! Ah!

What're you looking at?

Huh? Ah!

What in the world is going on?

That's what I'd like to know.

In all my years of research

I've never seen fruit like that.

Arch!

- Archen? - Huh!

Look at that!

So that fruit's got to be what Archen eats.

(Iris) 'Archen looks so happy!'

(Cilan) 'Hungry, too!'

Arch!

It's growing more fruit!

Could it be because of Archen's voice?

- I think so! - It has to be!

(Fennel) 'That tree has been growing'

'in sync with Archen's cries.'



How can that be?

I'd say some ancient seeds must have been fossilized

along with Archen's Plume Fossil and restored

at the same time it was.

Look, Fennel!

Archeops!

- Archen evolved! - Into Archeops!

[screaming]

So powerful!

Alright, go for it, Archeops!

[squawking]

Fly!

Arch-eops!

Success!

Archen ultimately learned how to fly

by first evolving into Archeops.

Arche! Archeops!

Hey, Archen evolved!

My interest's evolving as well.

- Finished! - Huh?

Data for the Pokemon restoration machine

has been copied.

Once I send the data to Doctor Zager

our mission will be complete.

Say, while we're at it, why don't we catch Archeops?

Arch-eops!

It looks like Archeops is going to make a nest.

It looks that way.

Pokemon are so full of power and mystery.

'I've never witnessed a more perfect example than Archeops!'

Maybe we should simply allow Acheops

to make this place into its home.

But do you think that's a good idea?

Well, we are the ones who awakened Archeops.

- Aren't we? - Hm.

In order to survive here in our modern world

'Archeops will need the proper environment!'

[all gasps]

Oh, come on, not Team Rocket again!

Yeah, talk about annoying!

I remember them from the Dreamyard.

Alright, Yamask, use Night Shade!

[screaming]

Now what? Tranquill, Air Cutter! Go!

Tranquill.

Use Shadow Ball!

Woobat, use Air Slash!

Alright, Munna, use Psychic now!

Munna.

Okay, Pikachu, Electro Ball, go!

Pika! Pi-ka-chu!

- Woobat, Air Slash! - Yamask, Night Shade!

Don't you have more important things to do?

Ash! The fire's out of control!

Right! Oshawott, Roggenrola! Come on out!

Oshawott!

We've got to put out that fire!

Oshawott, you use Water g*n

and Roggenrola, you use Sandstorm!

And give it everything you've got!

(Jessie) 'Archeops!'

The only place you're flying is with us!

(James) Bazooka ready!

And fire!

[squawking]

Flying-types are weak against electricity!

Archeops is as good as ours.

- Archeops! - Don't worry, we're coming!

[squawking]

- That's formidable power! - Big time!

That's the way it goes.

Alright, Woobat, return at once!

Yamask, return as well!

Aah! Look out!

We accomplished what we were asked to do. Let's go!

[squawking]

- Tranquill. - Archeops.

'Archeops. Archeops.'

'Archeops.'

'Archeops.'

Archeops.

Oh, Archeops we'll try to find you a place

where you'll be able to live happily. Somewhere.

- 'Archeops!' - Pika?

[all gasps]

Sounds like Archeops!

(Ash) 'Hey, look! Up there!'

But it can't be!

[squawking]

(Juniper) 'More Archeops?'

[squawking]

What do you know, there're other Archeops!

- It's true! - But where did they come from?

(Juniper) 'Some hidden place'

'in the Unova Region that has allowed them'

'to survive for all these millions of years.'

Archeops's cries must have been calls

for others of its own kind.

So, you see, Archeops?

There is a perfect place for you to live after all.



Take care of yourself, Archeops!

- Pika. - Take care of each other, too!

Best wishes! And stay safe!

- Tranquill. - Archeop.

[squawking]

I'd sure love to know where they're flying off to.

I'll bet wherever it is

'there'll be lots of ancient Pokemon!'

Me too, but right now, my only wish is the Archeops

find lasting peace.

Yes, me too.

'And it makes me happy just to know they'll all be living'

'somewhere in this world together!'

(Ash) 'Archeops, see you again!'

Pika-Pika!

(narrator) And so, our heroes have experienced

an extraordinary encounter never to be forgotten

as Professor Juniper's research

on the origin of Pokemon continues.

Excellent! I've reviewed and confirmed the design data.

They were using Musharna's dream energy

for the restoration. Question.

- Will that be a problem? - No.

We're still in possession of the energy sample

you obtained during your visit to the Dreamyard.

And using that will be easy.

[chuckles]
