ASH: "League OFFENDERS AND DEFENDERS!"
NARRATOR: The Alola Pokémon League is about to get underway!
NARRATOR: And our heroes have come to where it will all
take place, Manalo Stadium!
ASH: We made it, Professor Kukui!
PROFESSOR KUKUI: Well, so you did!
ASH: Professor, can we use the b*ttlefield?
I'd really like to give it a try!
KIAWE: Now relax, Ash.
We haven't even signed up to compete.
PROFESSOR KUKUI: Signups start this evening.
PROFESSOR KUKUI: For now, only sightseeing is allowed.
PROFESSOR KUKUI: Sorry about that.
SOPHOCLES: Don't be in such a hurry.
MALLOW: Although I do understand!
LANA: I'm psyched, too.
PROFESSOR KUKUI: Why not go and explore the island?
Registration will open up before you know it!
PROFESSOR KUKUI: Tell them, Lillie...
LILLIE: All right!
LILLIE: Aside from the main arena, there's a Pokémon Center,
of course. And so much more!
LILLIE: There's a shopping mall and health spa....
LILLIE: And several great restaurants!
LILLIE: All gathered in one beautiful spot!
MALLOW: Wow! Sounds perfect!
PROFESSOR KUKUI: I'd love to be your guide,
but I'm a little bit...
ASSISTANT: Professor Kukui?
ASSISTANT: Would you please come over here for a sec?
PROFESSOR KUKUI: Be right there!
PROFESSOR KUKUI: I can't seem to find a free minute!
KIAWE: We can find our own way around. Don't worry, we're fine.
PROFESSOR KUKUI: Okay.
PROFESSOR KUKUI: Later!
ASH: Hang in there!
MALLOW: All right. So what should we do first?
ASH: Well, I wanna see the b*ttlefield!
PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]
ROTOM DEX: Wait, Ash! Do you even know where it is?
KIAWE: I'm going, too!
SOPHOCLES: Hold on! Wait for me!
TOGEDEMARU: [AFFIRMATIVE]
LANA: And they're off.
LILLIE: Just like you'd expect.
MALLOW: Come on!
Why don't we check out the shopping mall first thing?
LILLIE/ LANA: Okay!
JAMES: Just like a grand opening should be.
MEOWTH: Not only a bunch of contestants,
but a huge number of hungry fans to boot!
JAMES: Our pre-opening sale was a smashing success!
JAMES: And with excitement like this...
JAMES: Our Manalo malasadas will fly off the shelves!
MEOWTH: My kind of air traffic!
WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]
MEOWTH/ JAMES: Go team, go!
WOBBUFFET: [CHEERING]
JESSIE: Pipe down! You haven't forgotten, have you?
JESSIE: The reason we're here is to win the Alola League...
JESSIE: And turn all of Alola into the Team Rocket region!
JAMES: I'm quite aware of that!
JAMES: But a little working capital couldn't hurt...
MEOWTH: We win the League, sell a mountain of malasadas,
then line our pockets with Alola dough-la!
WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]
JAMES: What?
JESSIE: It's, it's, it's, it's...
JESSIE/ JAMES/ MEOWTH: Stufful in the house!!!
JESSIE/ JAMES/ MEOWTH: And that means...
STUFFUL TRAINER GIRL: Hey, Stufful! Let's go!
TRAINER GIRL'S STUFFUL: [AFFIRMATIVE]
WOBBUFFET: [EXHAUSTED]
JAMES: I can breathe again!
JAMES: Though we've taken precautions this time.
MEOWTH: And hopefully, that'll get us through in one piece...
JAMES: Ta-da!
JAMES: We want to thank you for your incessant hospitality!
MEOWTH: We dug you a spring to do your relaxing thing!
STUFFUL: [EXERTION]
STUFFUL: [PLAYFUL]
MEOWTH: It'll be maxing and relaxing in that
hot spring paradise for days!
JAMES: Yes!
MEOWTH: And if it decides it's had enough, we've got plan B!
JESSIE: Then I guess we're home free.
WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]
ASH: Whoa!!!
PIKACHU: [IMPRESSED]
ASH: This is awesome!
ROTOM DEX: What an amazing stadium!
KIAWE: You know, I could turn up the heat in a place like this!
KIAWE: Right, Turtonator?
TURTONATOR: [AGREEMENT]
ASH: The Alola Pokémon League!
ASH: And I'm gonna win!!!
PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]
KIAWE: You'll have to beat me first...

HAU: I thought you'd be here!
PIKACHU: [QUESTIONING]
HAU: How you doing, Ash?!
ASH: Hey, it's Hau!
ASH: You're entering the League, too?
HAU: Of course!
ASH: All right!
HALA: Full of energy, as always. That's Ash!
ASH: Kahuna Hala!
ASH: Oh, Kahuna Hala is Hau's grandfather, see?
SOPHOCLES: Wow!
KIAWE: What do you know?
KIAWE: I'm Kiawe. Alola!
SOPHOCLES: I'm Sophocles.
HAU: Nice to meet you! I'm Hau!
ASH: Awesome! A Z-Ring!
HAU: Thanks! You see, I finally passed Gramps' grand trial.
ASH: All right! Good for you!
HALA: Your Island Challenge is just beginning...
HALA: Come on, now. You've only just taken your first baby step!
HAU: I know that...
HAU: That's not the only thing that's new!
HAU: Come on out!
DECIDUEYE: [APPEARING] / [EXERTION]
PIKACHU: [IMPRESSED]
ASH: A Decidueye?
ROTOM DEX: Decidueye. The Arrow Quill Pokémon.
A Grass and Ghost type.
ROTOM DEX: Decidueye's aim is so good that when it
fires its arrow quills, it can hit a pebble over
a hundred yards away!
ASH: So did Dartrix evolve?
HAU: Yeah!
HAU: We've been training since I last saw you!
HAU: So we don't lose to your Rowlet...
DECIDUEYE: [AFFIRMATIVE]
ASH: Wow, that's so cool!
ASH: Rowlet! Time to wake up!
ROWLET: [GROGGY] / [SNORING]
PIKACHU: [EMBARRASSED]
HAU: I've never seen that Pokémon before...
ASH: It's a Meltan.
ROWLET: [SLEEPING]
ASH: Come on, Rowlet, please?
ASH: Dartrix evolved, and now it's a Decidueye!
ROWLET: [SLEEPY]
ROWLET: [SLEEPING]
PIKACHU: [EMBARRASSED]
HAU: I see Rowlet hasn't changed a bit.
DECIDUEYE: [EXERTION]
ROWLET: [CONFUSED]
DECIDUEYE: [CHALLENGING]
ROWLET: [QUESTIONING]
ROWLET: [ALERT]
ROWLET: [GREETING]
ROWLET: [EXERTION]
ROWLET/ DECIDUEYE: [POSING]
ASH: It may still be sleepy...
ASH: ...but Rowlet's gotten a lot stronger than before!
HAU: I'll look forward to seeing that!
HAU: Hey, Gramps, do you mind if I go with Ash and his friends
to check out the place?
HALA: I don't mind at all.
ASH: Okay, let's go!
HAU: All right!
TOGEDEMARU: [AFFIRMATIVE]
DECIDUEYE: [EXERTION]
ASH: Wow...
ASH: Okay then, you go, too!
ROWLET: [AFFIRMATIVE]
MALLOW: I can't believe all the different shops that are here...
SHAYMIN: [CONFUSED]
LANA: Window-shopping is lots of fun!
LILLIE: Snowy? Which one do you like?
MALLOW: I don't think we can see it all in only one day!
LANA: I smell...Pinap Juice!
LILLIE: Then why don't we take a break?
MALLOW: Second that!
MALLOW: Excuse me!
MALLOW: Mind if I place an order?
ULU: Not at all!
ULU: If it isn't my sis!
MALLOW: Hi, Ulu!
ULU: Is this your Pokémon, Mallow?
SHAYMIN: [GREETING]
MALLOW: It's Shaymin.
MALLOW: What are you doing here?
ULU: I heard they were starting an Alola Pokémon League,
and when I came to check it out...
ULU: They were looking for people who could
work the food stands.
ULU: So I figured I'd go for a spot, and I got one!
MALLOW: At least you could've told your sister...
ULU: So what are you here for?
MALLOW: We're all contestants in the League!
ULU: Wow! Well, good for you!
ULU: Best of luck!
ULU: When you're battling, I'll close up shop and cheer you on!
MALLOW: Silly big brother...
SHAYMIN: [CURIOUS]
TUPP: Do you understand?
TUPP: We could crush this Alola League all by ourselves!
ZIPP: But do you think we should?
ZIPP: And keep it secret from Guzma?
RAPP: Won't he get mad at us later?
TUPP: He won't if he doesn't find out!!!
TUPP: You already know Guzma really can't stand
that Kukui jerk, remember?
TUPP: And because Kukui's gonna start up the League,
Guzma said he's gonna destroy it, remember?
TUPP: So why bother a busy guy like Guzma with junk like this?
TUPP: If we can just do it by ourselves...
ZIPP: You think that would make Guzma happy?
TUPP: He'll be thrilled.
RAPP/ ZIPP: That's why you're our Big Bro!
RAPP: So how do we do it?
TUPP: The thing is, you know, it's like this...
TUPP: Whatever! Just try a whole bunch of stuff!
GRUNT J: I hate these pretty-boy jerks!
GRUNT I: That's pretty good.
GRUNT K: Now draw the mustache.
OFFICER JENNY: What do you three think you're doing?
GRUNT J: The cops!
GRUNT K: Let's scram!
OFFICER JENNY: Dear...
MALLOW: Officer Jenny?
MALLOW: Is something wrong?
OFFICER JENNY: There. See that?
LANA: What?!
LILLIE: Why would anybody do that?
OFFICER JENNY: That's not all. There are other ones, too.
OFFICER JENNY: They litter and pick fights
with the other Trainers.
OFFICER JENNY: You three stay on guard.
OFFICER JENNY: Good day!
MALLOW: That's awful!
LILLIE: Just when there's finally
an Alola Pokémon League...
SNOWY: [WORRIED]
LANA: They're the worst!
SANDY: [QUESTIONING]
MALLOW: You know?
MALLOW: Maybe we'll catch them ourselves!
SHAYMIN: [AFFIRMATIVE]
ASH/ MALLOW/ LILLIE/ LANA/ SOPHOCLES/ KIAWE/ HAU:
"Who's that Pokémon?"
ASH/ MALLOW/ LILLIE/ LANA/ SOPHOCLES/ KIAWE/ HAU:
"It's Decidueye!"
JESSIE: Here. Please come again soon!
JAMES: They taste even yummier with our Royal Honey Nectarade!
JESSIE: Here!
GRUNT E: Hey, you numbskulls, outta my way!
JAMES: Please! Wait your turn, just like everybody else...
MEOWTH: I feel like I've seen him before...
JAMES: We could teach him a lesson, but we'd lose sales.
JESSIE: Being a teacher is more fun!
JESSIE: Would you mind going to the back of the line?
GRUNT E: Who do you think are you are, selling malasadas here?
JESSIE: We're the people with the sales permits!
GRUNT E: Who cares about permits?! Not ME!!!
JAMES: My dear sirs, I must object.
JAMES: You've damaged store property!
MAREANIE: [APPEARING]
MEOWTH: You'd better run now.
WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

RATICATE: [PAINED]
EKANS/ HOUNDOUR: [PAINED]
RATICATE: [STUNNED]
GRUNT G: You'll pay for this!
GLADION: That wasn't even a good warm-up
for the Alola Pokémon League.
LYCANROC [MIDNIGHT FORM]: [AFFIRMATIVE]
JESSIE: That wasn't even a bad warm-up
for the Alola Pokémon League.
JAMES: You don't deserve to call us enemies.
MAREANIE: [TAUNTING]
GRUNT E: You'll pay for this...this isn't over!
You hear me!
JESSIE: Poor babies.
JESSIE: Weak bullies always seem to utter
the same weak bully phrases...
WOBBUFFET: [SURPRISED]
JAMES: They're so predictable.
WOBBUFFET: [EMBARRASSED]
PIKACHU: [QUESTIONING]
GARBODOR: [SLUDGE b*mb MOVE]
TUPP: Take that!
TUPP: And don't come back!
TUPP: This place belongs to Team Skull!
RAPP: So, get out of our way!
ASH: Knock it off!
KIAWE: Team Skull! What are you guys doing here?
TUPP: They're from the Pokémon School.
ZIPP: So what'll we do?
TUPP: Guzma despises them almost as much as we do!
TUPP: So if we were to crush them...
ZIPP: That'd make Guzma real happy!
ASH: Wait. Guzma?
ASH: Oh, that guy...
TUPP: Perfect timing! We'll make sure you don't join the League!
KIAWE: Not today! Turtonator!
TURTONATOR: [AFFIRMATIVE]

TURTONATOR: [FLAMETHROWER MOVE]
TUPP: Salandit, use Scratch!

ROTOM DEX: You were all simply brilliant!
TOGEDEMARU: [ENCOURAGING]
SOPHOCLES: We didn't get our turn...
VIKAVOLT: [DESPONDENT]
ASH: Why would you go and do that stuff?!
SOPHOCLES: Yeah, why?! Everybody was getting pumped up!
TUPP: The only fools that are pumped are you!
ZIPP: Tupp is right!
RAPP: Nobody needs your stupid Pokémon League!
KIAWE: Whawassat?!
GUZMA: Hey!
GUZMA: You're kidding me...
GUZMA: What do you think you're doing?
TUPP/ RAPP/ ZIPP: It's Guzma!
TUPP: We didn't expect you so soon...
PLUMERIA: Don't you three ever go off without orders!
TUPP: You see, we didn't think a busy guy like Guzma needed
to waste his time with junk like this...
PLUMERIA: What's the point if you lose anyway?
GUZMA: Looks like you all did a number on some of my team.
GUZMA: I think I'll have some fun by taking you all down.
Here and now.
LILLIE: Over there!
ASH: Lillie! Everyone!
MALLOW: We heard there was some trouble over here...
LANA: We got worried, so we're here!
PROFESSOR KUKUI: So, Guzma, what are you here for?
GUZMA: Didn't you suggest that I compete in your Pokémon League?
GUZMA: Well, here I am, just like you wanted.
TUPP: Guzma?
ZIPP: You're competing in the League?
GUZMA: I would expect you to approve of my taking part.
Do you?
PROFESSOR KUKUI: Yeah...
GUZMA: Then that's that!
GUZMA: But you're gonna regret you said that!
GUZMA: You always dreamed of a stadium.
Well, I'm gonna stand at the top!
GUZMA: Then we'll just see if you can still claim the right
to spout all your lofty theories and dreams!
GUZMA: And once I become Champion, you'll never have
another competition again!
GUZMA: I'm going to destroy all those stupid dreams of yours!
PROFESSOR KUKUI: Guzma...
GUZMA: I can't wait!
TUPP: Boss! Wait for us!
KIAWE: I never expected that jerk to actually compete
in the League...
LILLIE: But why does he seem so obsessed with Professor Kukui?
HALA: A long time ago...
HALA: Guzma and Kukui were both students of mine.
HALA: But Guzma never wanted to accept any of the lessons
that I would try to teach him.
HALA: And finally, one day...
GUZMA: I can't stand that fake "hero" act and your
"justice for all" garbage you're always talking about!
GUZMA: It's worthless!
GUZMA: Who cares about Alola's "natural world?!"
PROFESSOR KUKUI: Guzma...
GUZMA: It's all worthless, get it?!
GUZMA: I don't need Z-Moves or Z-Rings!
GUZMA: I'll get strong my own way! I'll show you!!!
PROFESSOR KUKUI: Guzma!
LILLIE: That's horrible.
HALA: My failure as a teacher caused all of it.
HALA: I couldn't figure out how to reach him
in a meaningful way.
HAU: No way, Gramps...
PROFESSOR KUKUI: It wasn't your fault, Hala.
PROFESSOR KUKUI: If only... I'd been able to convince him...
ASH: Well I definitely don't wanna lose to that guy!
PIKACHU: [QUESTIONING]
KIAWE: But Ash...
ASH: Ever since I came to Alola...
ASH: ...everybody has been so friendly!
And I've had more fun than I ever thought I could!
ASH: All of you wanna compete in the Pokémon League...
ASH: Well, I'm looking forward to it, too!
ASH: And Professor Kukui!
ASH: You've been working so hard to make something
where everyone can have fun!
ASH: But not that guy. He just doesn't have a clue!
PROFESSOR KUKUI: A-Ash...
ASH: That's why... I won't let him beat me!
KIAWE: You said it, Ash!!!
PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]
KIAWE: You're exactly right!
ASH: Thanks... I think.
MALLOW: No one messes with the Alola Pokémon League!
LILLIE: Right!
LANA: We'll work hard.
SOPHOCLES: And we'll win this!
ASH: Yeah!
HAU: You can count me in!
PROFESSOR KUKUI: Thank you all. So much!
PROFESSOR KUKUI: Welcome to our reception
for the Alola Pokémon League!
PROFESSOR KUKUI: So, eat all you want, and have a ball!
PROFESSOR KUKUI: You'll want to be stocked up
and stoked for the big day!

SAMSON OAK: Have you tried the Okra-ttata?
SAMSON OAK: It's Mellow-etta!
ASH: It's Principal Oak!
LILLIE: Have you come to cheer us all on?
SAMSON OAK: Not this time.
SAMSON OAK: I'm competing. See?
SAMSON OAK: It would be a waste if I didn't participate...
SAMSON OAK: With such a competitor influx-ray!
SAMSON OAK: 'Scuse me.
HAU: What a strange old man.
SOPHOCLES: No argument...
LANA: Look, it's Ilima!
KIAWE: He must be a contestant, too.
SOPHOCLES: Still as popular as ever...
ASH: Maybe I'll go and say hello.
LILLIE: Are you all right, Ash?
MALLOW: Say hi later, 'kay?
PIKACHU: [CURIOUS]
GLADION: Hey, Ash.
ASH: Gladion!
LILLIE: How are you?!
GLADION: Good. And you, Lillie?
LILLIE: I'm fine!
ASH: You're gonna compete, aren't you?
GLADION: Right.
GLADION: And I'm gonna win, too!
ASH: We'll see about that! Right, Pikachu?
PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]
KIAWE: Hey, don't forget about me!
HAU: Or me either!
SOPHOCLES: The League is all mine!!!
MALLOW: Here we go...
LANA: Uh-huh...
