PIDOVE [EAGER]


NARRATOR Enroute to Ash's next


Gym Battle challenge in Driftveil City,


our heroes have stopped


at a Pokémon Center for a bit of rest.


[TENDER]


Pikachu loves that!


[AGREEMENT]


True, it's a pleasure to witness a perfect match


'between Trainer and Pokémon!'


Okay. [EXCITED]


You want more?


Okay, buddy. You asked for it!


[HAPPY] [Ash laughing]


[HAPPY] How's that?


Gotcha! Gotcha! Gotcha!


- 'Check that out!' - Huh?


[SURPRISED]


Tell me, is that your Pokémon?


Yeah.


- Can I take a picture? - Yeah, sure.


Great. Thanks!


Huh! Perfect! Amazing!


It's a real Pikachu!


- Huh? - Huh?


ROBERT 'Priceless! Awesome!'


[SURPRISED] There! The perfect shot!

ASH "The Four Seasons


Of Sawsbuck!"


[shutter clicking]


[HAPPY]


You've gotta tell me where you caught this awesome Pikachu!


Finding a wild Pikachu in the Unova region


is a big event!


See, Pikachu and I came here together from Kanto!


Huh? Kanto? You're serious?


It's true, he came all this way


so he could challenge the Gyms in the Unova region!


- Hi there! I'm Ash! - I'm Iris!


And, my name's Cilan! Pleased to meet you!


Nice to meet you! My name's Robert.


Pokémon Photographer! Though, I'm just starting out!


A Pokémon Photographer?


His specialty is photographing Pokémon!


ROBERT 'Here! This is what I do!'


[gasping]


IRIS 'Amazing!'


You took all these pictures?


Yeah! And I'm planning to take a whole lot more pictures as well!


Ah, have a look at these!


ROBERT 'There.'


[gasps]


CILAN 'Wow! These are


really old photos.'


You took these, Robert?


No, those are my grandpa's pics.


See, Grandpa was a Pokémon Photographer too!


'He took them when he traveled around the world!'


- Wow! - So cool!


Amazing! Vintage excellence!


[gasping]


- It can't be! - What? What's the problem?


Could something like this even happen?


Shocking. That's one mysterious photograph!


Alright, let me in on it!


[CURIOUS]


Robert, by any chance


did your grandfather take this picture?


Yeah! Grandpa was more proud of that photo than any other!


But why? What's so weird about it?


You see, Sawsbuck changes appearance with the seasons.


Let me show you some examples. Look!


CILAN 'Here's Sawsbuck in spring!'


'This is in summer!'


'This one's in fall, and this one's in winter!'


'That's why it's a mystery to me that Sawsbuck'


'from all four seasons could be gathered in one place'


'in one picture.'


It doesn't make any sense at all!


Well, here's a picture of it, so it must be possible!


You got it, Ash!


You see, my grandpa said the exact same thing!


ROBERT Grandpa?


This picture, my friends tell me it can't be real.


That it's gotta be fake! That makes me sad.


Of course, it's real!


It's real because I took it! That's my photo!


Ever since then, I swore I'd find the forest


where my grandpa saw those four Sawsbuck



and take the very same photograph he did!


That's a great idea!


Seeing all four Sawsbuck together would be so awesome!


[EXCITED]


But, do you know where he took it?


You can't tell where it is from this.


No, but this helps!


ROBERT 'Look closely.


There's the same flowers here and here!'


ASH Whoa, you're right!


You see, they're called Antliage flowers


'and they're very rare!'


'So, I did a little research and what do you know!'


Both these photos were taken on the same day!


The Deerling photo was taken somewhere


'up on that mountain, I'm sure of it!'


So, that would mean the Sawsbuck photo


was taken up on that mountain as well!


Guess so.


If this is all true, then I want to see it!


Of course, it's true!


Now, all I have to do is get myself up there!


CILAN But, even if you find it


who knows when all four Sawsbuck will appear?


Waiting patiently is part of a Pokémon Photographer's job!


'When you deal with wild Pokémon'


'you can be sure that they'll never appear when you want!'


'You just have to wait for that perfect moment.'


'Even if it takes days.'


'Patience is the name of the game!'


[PROUD]


ROBERT 'And, those photos turn out


to be the best ones!'


That's why I do what I do. It's worth it!


Sitting still for days on end


requires unbelievable willpower!


You're really beginning to pique


my curiosity about those Sawsbuck.


Wait, don't tell me you're a Photo Connoisseur, too?


No, no, not me!


But, my heart sings with the thrill


of the Pokémon Photographer and his marvelous work!


IRIS 'Big surprise.'


ROBERT 'Nurse Joy?'


There are a lot of Deerling


and Sawsbuck around here, right?


Oh, yes, there are quite a few!


Look at this! Do you recognize these flowers?


Yes, of course!


NURSE JOY 'Antliage flowers are in bloom


up on the mountain' 'around this time every year!'


Thanks so much, Nurse Joy!


I'm on my way to go look for Antliage flowers right now!


Hey, can we go too, Robert?


Yeah, I really wanna go!


Okay, we'll all go!


ASH/CILAN/IRIS Yeah!


Okay, here we go!


So, how do you plan to locate the Sawsbuck?


My plans right in here!


Swoobat, lets go!


[APPEARING] [gasps]


POKEDEX Swoobat, the Courting Pokémon


and the evolved form of Woobat.


Swoobat's nose emits many


different kinds of sound waves.


Okay, Swoobat, look for the Antliage flowers!


[FOCUSED]


ROBERT We'll search for them on foot


and Swoobat will look for them from the air!


There's also a spring. See it back here?


Yeah, there is.


ROBERT 'I'm not sure how to find it.'


I've never seen it on any map.


[gasps]


[shutter clicks]


[shutter clicks]


[shutter clicks]


[laughs]


Hmm.


ASH 'Hey!'


- Huh? - Where's Swoobat now?


I can't see it from here!


Maybe, it's flying below the tree line!


[rustling]


- Huh? - What was that?


Check it out! It's a Deerling!


[STARTLED]


POKEDEX Deerling, the Season Pokémon.


When sensing confrontation, Deerling hides in the grass.


It also changes it's appearance as the seasons change.


That's it's Summer Form! Summer Deerling are so cute!


[FRANTIC]


We should go!


I'll bet you that Deerling might lead us to it's herd!


Got ya!


Hey! Wait up, you guys!


[FOCUSED]


It's getting foggy, so be careful!


- Okay! - It won't get out of my sight!



Please, Deerling! Hold on!


Deerling, slow down!


Ugh! Where'd it go?


[grunts]


[CURIOUS]/[CONCERNED]


Huh! Oh no!


We lost Cilan and Iris!


- You're kidding! - No. Must've been the fog.


Sorry. It's my fault!


Nah. Don't worry! So, what do you want to do next?


Let's see..


SWOOBAT [CALLING]


Hmm?


[CALLING]


- Ah! - Swoobat! Yes!


ROBERT Glad you found us in this fog!


[EXCITED]


ROBERT 'Look!'


- An Antliage flower! - You found one!


Hey, Swoobat! Take us back to where you found it.


Okay?


This fogs getting really thick.


I don't care! We found an Antliage flower!


If there's the slightest chance I can find that location


I'll take it!


Uh! I hear you! Let's go!


As long as Swoobat leads the way, we'll be just fine!


Right! You ready?


[EXCITED]/[FOCUSED]


ASH/CILAN/IRIS Who's that Pokémon?


ASH/CILAN/IRIS It's Swoobat.


SWOOBAT [HAPPY]


The fog's starting to clear up!


- 'Robert, look!' - 'Huh?'


Check out the Antliage flowers.


Awesome, Swoobat. You're doing great.


[HAPPY]


ROBERT 'No, he couldn't have taken


this picture around here.'


Because that big tree is missing.


AMOONGUSS [CURIOUS]


[CURIOUS]


[CONFUSED]/[FOCUSED]


[CONFUSED]


[CURIOUS]


Pikachu, no! [CONFUSED]


[SPORE MOVE]


[SHOCKED]


Uh, you okay, Pikachu?


[RELIEVED] Thanks a lot, Robert!


[GRATEFUL] Sure!


POKEDEX Amoonguss, the Mushroom Pokémon


and the evolved form of Foongus.


By swinging it's Poké Ball-like arms while dancing


Amoonguss is able to lure it's prey.


[DISAPPOINTED]


See, if you get too close to an Amoonguss


you could get poisoned!


ROBERT 'Be careful, okay?'


[CURIOUS]


Hey! Is that that Deerling from before?


Sure looks like it!


I thought you said if we followed it


it might lead us to it's herd..


Mm-hmm, yeah, it's pretty common for a herd of Deerling


to be led by a Sawsbuck.


If we follow it back to its herd we just might find one!


It can't get away from us this time.


It's up to you, Swoobat!


[DETERMINED]


[CONFUSED]


[COURTSHIP SOUND WAVE MOVE]


[HAPPY]


ROBERT 'It worked!'


What was that?


Oh, that was Swoobat's Courtship Sound Wave!


ROBERT 'Anyone who comes in contact


with it gets happy!'


It comes in handy when I'm trying to photograph a Pokémon


who's kind of scared of people.


[EAGER]


Hah! Looks like the Deerling's on the move! Come on!


Yeah!


DEERLING [EXCITED]


[panting]


[EXCITED]


- Ah! Check out that tree! - Huh?


It's the same one!


This must be the path Grandpa walked on.


Oh no, I got distracted by the picture


and lost track of the Deerling!


ASH But we're so close! Let's go!


ROBERT No.


- This is it for now. - Huh?


The sun's going to go down any time!


'Mountains are dangerous at night.'


'Lets find a safe place to set up camp!'


ASH 'Uh, okay!'


[SLEEPING]


Wow, Robert, it's really amazing how many awesome pictures



your grandpa took over the years.


You could say he caught them all


but not exactly like a Trainer!


I wanna get to check out as many Pokémon as I can!


That's what keeps me going on my journey.


I feel the same way taking pictures!


Once I check out every Pokémon in Unova


maybe I should go and check out the Pokémon


in the Kanto region.


Oh, you should! Kanto's a really cool place!


We've gotta find the Sawsbuck first.


Yeah, you're right!


Honestly, finding that spring under normal circumstances


may be more difficult than it seems!


What do you mean?


I remember something else


Grandpa said about that picture.


GRANDFATHER Mountains contain strange places


that blur the boundaries between our world and others!


Occasionally, someone wanders into


one of those other worlds.


Strange and mysterious as it sounds.


Whoa!


I'm very proud of the fact that I was the one


who took this astonishing photograph!


GRANDFATHER 'After all, I experienced


something truly magnificent.'


'Something no one else ever has!'


No reason why we can't have that experience too, right?


So, then let's go for it!


Alright! Tomorrow, first thing!


[snoring]


[AFFECTIONATE]


Huh! Huh, uh, Deerling!


[gasps] [SURPRISED]


'It's the Deerling from yesterday!'


[HAPPY]


Wow, I wonder if this Deerling thinks were it's buddies.


Maybe so! Huh, what's wrong?


[ENCOURAGING]


Do you think?


Yeah, I do! It wants us to follow!


Hey! We might be able to find those Sawsbuck!


Let's hurry!


[HAPPY]


[panting]


[CALM]


[HAPPY]


[panting]


Look at all the Deerling!


Now, Swoobat, return and thanks!


ROBERT 'I've never seen a group


of Deerling so relaxed!' 'I've gotta check this out!'


[CALM] [shutter clicking]


Hmm? What's that?


- Oh, no! - What's wrong?


[FOCUSED]/[CONFUSED] [SPORE MOVE]


Look out!!


[grunting]


[STARTLED]/[SCARED]


Robert! You okay, Robert?


ASH Have you got an Antidote?


I usually have an Antidote in my bag


but I ran out and I forgot to get more


at the Pokémon Center yesterday.


[laughs]


The Deerling?


It got spooked and ran away, but it's fine!


And after we became friends.


ASH This is bad!


We've gotta get off this mountain!


[CONCERNED]


Could be tough!


[laughs]


[grunting]


[WORRIED]


[grunting]


You're burning up! Let's move!


[grunting]


[grunting]


Huh?


The fog! [WORRIED]


ASH 'Ah! Oh, no!'


I can't see where I'm going!


[WORRIED]


[STARTLED]


Ah!


Ah! A Sawsbuck!


[ENCOURAGING]


[ENCOURAGING]


[FOCUSED]


I think we should follow them.


[AGREEMENT]


[gasps]


[SHOCKED]


I've seen that!


ASH 'The spring!'


[CALLING]


Huh?


Huh? [SHOCKED]



[CURIOUS]


Ah!


[grunts]


Robert!


Please, wake up! The Sawsbuck! They're all here!


ASH 'We're at the spring!'


Robert, please!


Huh?


[SHOCKED]


Whoa! What's happening now?


That light feels so warm.


[CURIOUS]


Ah!


[sighs]


ASH Your fever..


- 'Robert?' - Ah!


Robert! You awake?


[CONCERNED]


- Uh, hey, Ash. - You are! What a relief!


What happened? Whoa! I feel much better! Where are we?


Robert! Look! The Sawsbuck!


Sawsbuck?


Huh? Ah!


The Sawsb-- [groaning]


Sorry. Ah!


Grandpa!


ROBERT 'I found them.


I found them!'


[HAPPY]


- Where's my camera? Ah! - Ow! Ah, ow!


[shutter clicks]


[sighs]


Where'd they go?


Thank you, Sawsbuck. Thank you!


Wow! That sure was a weird place, wasn't it?


Yeah! I cant believe how much better I feel!


It must've been the light from the spring.


It healed me completely!


And, it's cause of the Sawsbuck who brought us there!


[AGREEMENT]


You're right!


- Ah! - The fog is lifting!


IRIS 'Ash!'


- Huh? - Huh?


- 'Robert!' - Ash! Robert!


- Iris and Cilan! Hey! - 'Ash!'


Ah! Is it really you?


What a relief! The fog lifted as quickly as it came.


Huh! Quickly?


- Huh? - Huh?


That fog kept us stuck on the mountain since yesterday!


- He's right! - Yesterday?


I don't know what you're talking about!


We only got separated from you about ten minutes ago.


Huh!


That cant be, I took a picture of the Sawsbuck!


Really? Wow!


- 'Yeah! Take a look!' - Ah!


IRIS 'Um..'


- See them? - I guess so.


If you look really hard.


ASH Oh, come on, guys, it's true!


[ADAMANT]


- Don't worry. It's okay! - Huh?


We saw something no one else has.


An experience only we understand.


And that's more than enough for me!


You're right!


NARRATOR And so, a young Pokémon


photographer's dream has come true with the rediscovery


of four mysterious Sawsbuck!


Of course, our heroes have dreams too


as the journey to fulfill them continues!
